Increase of Pay Of IIeInbers-A
COwardly Dodge.

The question of increasing the pay of
members of the House and Senate has been
UP on several occasions, but the members,
standing in fear Of the people who, are now,
carrying as heavy burdens as they can stag
ger under, it has regularly failed. About
the last Acts 0fthe 39thi aCOngfess, was the
passage of bill increasing their pay, with
out striking out either the franking swindle
or that more infamous piece of stealing,
mileage. '.'i'' ''l' 7'' "t .is'
We would not have, regarded itso mean
a thingdhad 1t been done fairly and square,
ly-had the members acted the manly part
and squarely voted themselves. additional
pay; but afraid to DO this, they meanly
Sheltered themselves behind the soldiers,
and thus shielded, made this ohuge grab at
the Treasury, s..,.-...,,g, "a so,.,..rE
We calltbe especial attention of our read
ers to the mode adopted to carry this thing
through. The Civil Appropriation bill, i'm
creasing the compensation of CoDgressmen n
and Senators, and paying additional boup-
ties to soldiers was presented, whereupon
there was "much fluttering," says the dis
patch. We. should think likely. Why
we're the two propositions put in one bill I?
Why was the increase of pay to Congress-
men tagged on the bill TO pay bounties ?
Let the report of the debate answer. L".
Mr.. Hogan said he was opposed to the in
creased pay, but was in iayor of bounty
for the soldier, and therefore voted aye"
Nof wonder there was laughter. So
gbastly a joke as this of HOgan's, would
have made skeleton smile. Then 3d..
"Mr. Hubbard, of w. Va. followed with
a similar statement" bi i'1'..iH 9NJ Hy
sMr. briggs OF Mich. hoped that these
gentlemen if they were forced to take the
Increased pay, would turn over the excess
TO the Soldiers" '''
"Mr. Ferry, from the same State, said he
bad voted three times against the increase
Of salary to Senators and members, but this
being the last opportunity of voting in
favor of bounty for soldiers, he felt COM
pelled to change his vote from nay to aye,
buthe stood ready to pay over the excess
tosoldlers aud challenged his colleague, Mr.
briggs, to do the same" l..f....-,..s..-..r
"Mr. Schenck asserted with character
istic bluntness that he voted aye to both
propositions" .5.IgE
The record is sickening. The. hypocrisy
Of these men in pretending to be opposed
to an increase of their pay and llamenting
that they were compelled toVOte for 1t that
the soldiers mightTeceive the bounty they
were entitled to, is too much, even for an
American Congress. If they were so stead
Estly opposed to the increase why did they
not divide the propositions and vote upon
them separately, as one honest man sug-
gested? If this was parliamentary, why
did not these opponents of an increase vote
down the bill and Introduce one paying
bounties, without the Congressional bounty
attached? The squirming of members while
the vote was being taken shows too plainly
that they felt they were doing dirty thing.

The New Orleans Riot and Hts


The great outbreak in New Orleans on
Monday, July 30th, was precipitated (ac-
'cording to the Times of that city) ttby' one
OF the freedmen's professions this morning,
showing a white man and tripping him.
The policemen supposed the man had been
struck and advanced and arrested the sup
posed gassailapt. They were met with a
Holley ofbpist9l shots, bricks ETC., which at,
once induced q general alarm, and hence
the esbl0ody tragedy that has been enacted..
This was the match chat touched Off the
magazinegRnBubyt ytheo trouble was deeper
seated, and of more permanent concern,
a. Constitutional Convention had been
chosen and held in 1864 during the progress
bflthe war. Although no portion o0f the
rebel population participated in the selec- =
tion of the Convention, its action has, been,
respected and obeyed by all. Since the
restoration Of peace, the party that held
the Convention (or those ofthem that have
becomo Radieals) have fallen into a minor
Sg at the polls, and are in, danger OF, losing
the offices, They, therefore, claim the right
of again assembling the Convention Of
1884, and making an amendment Ito the
Constitution, which shall disfranehise the
late rebels and confer the right ofsuffrage
on the negroes, This, claim has been met
by a denial OF the present legal existence

The Connecticut Election.

The election in Connecticut was con
tested with great spirit on both sides. and
the election of General IIswley seems to
be decisive Of that States political status.
We own that We had grave doubts oil
Hawiey's success, since the State voted
square against negro suffrage last fall. 1t
is no test to bring up the vote one year ago,
because on that very day the rebels were fly
ing in disnay from Richmond and the men
who had opposed the war and had been for
four years declaring that the rebellion
could not be put down. now had their ewes
opened by General Grants strategy and
perseverance, and they did not care to go
to the polls on that base again, and there
fore they remained at home or voted Tor
Buckingham. Not sonow. There was some
hope for all those who were disappointed
in their prophecies Of ruin and failure, at
this election, of regaiping their lost politi-
cal prestige. But alas for them, they
have been again disappointed. General
Hawley has beon elected Governor, the
Legislature is largely Union,which secures
the election of a United States Senator, to
succeed Mr. Foster.
