THE M ILEAGE QUESTION. - President
johnson stated that the radical Congress in
creased Its own pay $4,000 a head, but refused
to give proper bounty to soldiers. The
President is in error in his statement as it
implies that vast sum was added to the
perquisites of the members by the bill. This
was not the case. The mileage was reduced
to one-halt of its present amount, and the
sums thus received were divided among the
members more equally. 1t used to be that
the Western members, many of whom vera
mere nulllties in the House, would receive
$4,000 mileage, while Eastern members
would get 5000, and do all the work. To
equalize the pay, an increase of regular salary
and reduction of mileage were agreed upon.
So far as the real additional outlay is con-
cerned, the sum is too insignificant to be
fought over.

UNION DELEGATES In NEW YORK.
The Empire City seems determined to out
rival Philadelphia in its cordial welcome to
the Southern Union delegates. The vast
crowd which filed the Cooper Institute and
surged around its walls, bid God-speed to the
tried men Of tue South. Peter Cooper pre-
sided, and the first men OF the metropolis
acted as Vice-Presidents. Stirring speeches
were made, wild enthusiasm prevailed and
the whole demonstration was far grander
one than we had hoped for from the city
which gives Democratic majority of 10000
votes. 1t is, however. but sign of the times.

portant reaction abroad in favor Of American
securities and investments. Meantime our
increased receipts of gold from Calfornia,
Arizona, ETC.. are equally remarkable. Our
receipts from San Francisco since January Of
this year have been over $29,OOO,OOO, against
$12,OO0,0O0 for the same period last year.
The careful policy OF our able Secretary of
the Treasury has not only received universal
encomiums at home, but is already being felt
abroad, and causing additional confidence in
our finances, when so able man is at their
head.

THAT'S WIsDOM."-The immortal slack
Bunsby" has, we surmise, assumed an edito-
rial position on the Age, and gives us this
morning some of those "chunks" of wisdom
for which he is famous. In speaking of the
Maine election, our contemporary, under
show of candor, seeks to gain credit for ad-
mitting a tact which is patent to even the
dullest intellect-that the Democrats have
sustained an overwhelming defeat. 1t further
assumes "hollow mockery OF mirth," and
thus explains the cause:-
'That we have been beaten, we cannot deny.
As journalists determined III every instance to
present the truth, we will not attempt to dis
guise our defea', nor endeavor to cover it up
with faint excuses or shallow apologies. What
causes led 10 our discontinue we cannot now
enumerate; and we broach no other theory
upon the subject at present except the general,
and perhaps the most truthful one, hG! zoe had
not votes enough 10 carry any OF our cdndlddteS
That explanation may not be consolatory II is
true, but that IL uprges closely upon fact, the
most disappointed aud dlsconsolate cannot help

This explanation is almost on'a par with the
cause of the decease of the veritable "Cock
Robin" He died for want Of breath.

ANOTHER ASTOUNDING FRAUD.-it seems
to us that some means should be devised by
which the Government might be protected
against such wholesale frauds as those to
which it is continually subjected. The New
York Post yesterday gave the particulars of
one by which a million dollars were quietly
removed from the national vaults, and appro-
priated by 'two enterprising young men,"
1t is the old story of Government Off
GERS giving receipts for what was never
received. A feeling Of deicacy, we suppose,
leads the Post to withhold the names of the
'enterprising young men," We need two
additional projections First, a more rigor-
Gus system of examination, by which not a
single man may act as check, but series of
checks be secured; second, a strict and
criminal prosecution and punishment OF the
guilty parties when detected. These two
remedies would, we think, prevent the evil.
The fact that after the lapse of years the
fraud was only discovered by one of the cul-
pitts turning States evidence, caused some
natural suspicion as to how many like frauds
have occurred in which there was no quar-
rellng among the thieves. Millions upon
millions may have been stolen, and now the
only remedy is to have all the accounts
reaudited, and as soon as a felony is Disco
Vered to make a rigid example of the crimi-
nails,

Probst, who recently murdered the
Deering family near Philadelphia, has
made a confession of the crime.
PHILADELPHIA, May THE Evening
Telegraph publishes the confession of
Probst. After describing the murder of
the boy Carey, he says:
The sight of the blood of the boy pro-
duced in me a devilish and blood thirsty
feeling, and 1 determined at once to muir
der the whole family. He disposed of
the boy as. described before, and then de-
iberately walked over to the house. He
entered, and told Charlie-the lite one
next in years to Willie, who was absent
that he wanted him to help him do some
some work in the barn. The little fell
low followed him, and as soon as he got
him inside the barn door, he dispatched
him with q small axe he had secured. He
then went back to the house and told
Mrs. Deering there wa something the
matter with n of the COWS, and he
wanted her to come to the barn. She
went and he followed, and as soon as she
entered the barn he struck her on the
head and killed her. He then vent back
to the house and brought the children
out, n by one, and taking them inside
the barn, despatched them, oneat q time,
with the same ak. In each instance he
cut their Threats, and placed their bodies
in the corncrib himself, Just in the posi-
s6on they were found. He then covered
the bodies up and proceeded to wipe out
all evidences of his guilt. He then went
back to the house and awaited the arri-
val of MIR. Deering, not expecting that
Miss Dolan would accompany him. As
soon as MIR. Deering arrived in the carri-
age he got out, and Probst told him some
thing was wrong with one of the COWS,
and asked him to 60 over to the barn
with him. MIR. Deering went along with
him, and Miss Dolan went into the house
and took off her bonnet and furs. Mr..
Deerlng did not wen take off his gloves
before going to the barn, but proceeded
there at once, followed by Probst, who
had the < concealed ready for use. As
soon as Mr.. Deering entered the door,
Probst states that he struck him in the
head, and feiled him to the earth, and
then chopped at his neck with edge of
the ak. Miss Dolan was the next. and
last victim. She proceeded to the barn,
after coming down stairs and not finding
any of the family in the house, and Probst
who was in waiting for her, treated her as
he had done the rest of the family. At
ter laying out the bodies, and covering
them up with hay, the murderer went to
the house, and commenced searching for
valuables. He states he got no money,
but expected a considerable amount
He states that Miss Dolan's pocket book
had very little in it. He saw nothing
whatever Of the two $50 compound in
terest notes, and a $40 bill of the same
character that are missing. He remained
about the house for some time, picked up
the articles found in the black EaIise, and
left about dark. His further movements
were pretty much as brought out on the
trial. Probst states that he would have
confessed to the murders before, but he
feared that if he did so he would be torn
to pieces by the mob.

Interesting Breach of Promise
Case.

The youngstown correspondent of the
Cleveland Herald, writes as follows:
Of the cases tried at the present term,
there was one of a somewhat unusual
character for this region, and which ex-
cited much interest. 1t was a suit for
breach of promise of marriage, brought
by Nancy j. Knowles, a maiden lady of
about twenty-seven years of age, against
William W. Cook, a bachelor of forty
nine, both residents of Goshen township.
The defendant is a farmer, worth some
$4,000. After occasional visits he pro-
posed marriage, to which she assented.-
When the time arrived, she had prepared
her wedding garments and was ready, but
on some pretext he postponed the happy
day to a later period. Four different
times were appointed for the marriage.
The last period named was the first good
sleighing. In January, 1865, there was a
fortnights good sleighing, and still the
bridegroom did not come to claim his
bride. When she spoke to him on the
subject, he said he was SO busy hauling
saw logs that he had not time to attend
to it. He afterwards told her his health
was too poor. to marry, and gave her lib
erty to marry any one else she chose
told her that a widower living in the
township had taken a fancy to her looks,
and would like to marry her-advised
her to marry the widower, as he was rich
er than the defendant, and finally aban-
doned visiting her altogether. The de-
PENDANT plead a release by her, from the
contract, which he attempted to prove
in this wise. He had promised her and
another young lady, Miss NJ, to ride on
the 4th of July. Toward evening of
that day, Miss Ms brother called upon
the afianced lady, saying that the de-
PENDANT had requested him to come and
take her in his buggy, and shortly after
the defendant drove up with Miss NJ. in
his buggy, and they rode to Salem
Here the whole party RECALLED on ice
cream, but the evidence did not show
who paid for the entertainment. 1t is
presumed the defendant did. After the
ice cream reception, the party called up
on a Miss D., who inquired of the plain
tiff: Chow is this that you are not with
your old bean 2"-to which she replied.
loosely as she claims: ''Ohi Ihave traded
him away for a better one" The gentle
men then changed partners. The plain
tiff got into the defendants buggy. and
rode to her home with him, and Miss M
rode with her brother. The defendant
took the jocose remark seriously, and
testified that she also said, land 1 will
never have anything more to do with
him." This part of the conversation she
denied, and this was the release set up,
attempted to be proved, and relied upon
as a defense to the action. 1t should.
perhaps, be stated hat the defendant
admitted the promise, but claimed that
the time for the wedding was fixed only
once, and then they were not married on
account of the sickness of her mother,
and after that she never asked him to set
a time. The jury awarded the lady two
thousand three hundred and seventy-fYs
dollars damages.
