PAY OF MEMBERS OF THE LEG
STATURE.

The time was when good men were willing
to 90 to Harrisburg as members of the Leg
isIature and serve their constituents for three
dollars day. The value of men and their
services has greatly advanced in these latter
days, and the pay of members has been at
various times increased until now it amounts
to one thousand dollars per session, or six
teen dollars and sixty-six cents per day for
an average session of sixty days. There
seems to have been an abundance Of good
things on hand in the way of pri-
yate and local bills and monopoly legislation
the past winter, but not sufficient to satisfy
the greed of these public leeches, so when
the appropriation bill was reported, there
was found in it section providing for the
increase of the pay of members to fifteen
hundred dollars. After some discussion in
the House, the amount was fixed at $3.50.
Now this may not be too much for good
men, but unfortunately the number of such,
that get to the Legislature, is few. Besides
Il would have been in much better taste to
have made the increase to take effect for the
next session. than for the present, as it
would have removed any foolish suspicious,
ON the part of those who are not capable OF
anpreciating the valuable services of their
members, that the thing was not altogether
a;sinterested. The ayes and nays were not
called, as it was not party question, and 1t
seems, singularly enough to have been voted
rfor with glorious disregard of political
proclivities. We hope Col. Mcclure will
hurry up his proposed amendment pro-
fiding that no Legislature shall increase the
av of its own members

JUDGE SHAKKEY and Hon. Robert j. Walk
er appeared in the Supreme Court of the
United States on Wednesday on the behalf
of the State of Mississippi. The former rose
to submit bill of complaint, with the prayer
that President johnson, and his officers and
agents appointed for that purpose, and espe-
ciaIly General Ord, be perpetually enjoined
and restrained from executing the act " to
provide for the more efficient government of
the Rebel States,n and the act supplemental
ry thereto, and that the powers of injunction
and subpoena be issued, directed to the par
ties aforesaid, with any other relief that the
court may deem proper. Judge Sharkey re-
marked that the bill had been printed. At
torney- General Stanberry said he believed it
was the general practice first to obtain the
leave of the court to file the bill. This bill
was against the United States, and he desired
to appear at the earliest moment to object to
it. He repeated there must be a motion to
file the bill in the regular way. Judge Shar-
key replied, that was the motion which henow
made. He was aware of the magnitude of the
subject, involving the important and delicate
question of the constitution of the Congress
sional legislation. 1t was of great moment
that an early decision be arrived at, as much
mischief must result by delay. Chief Justice
Chase said to Judge Sharkey: You can only
now move to file the bill, and it will be in or
der to discuss this the next motion day. AT
torney General Stansberry-I am ready now
to resist the granting of the leave. Chief
Justice-We do not propose to hear argument
on motion out of the regular order. The
motion will be fled Judge Sharkey-l will
now file the application. This he did, and
the question went over till the next motion
day, being Friday next.

which was new to US, and may be to most
of our readers. After the horse is nine
years old, a wrinkle comes on the eyelid at
the upper corner of the lower lid, and
every year thereafter he has one well
defined wrinkle for each year over nine.
Ii, for instance, q horse has three wrinkles
he is twelve; if four, he is thirteen. Add
the number of wrinkles to nine, and you
will always get it. So says the gentleman /;
and he is confident it will never fail As
great many people have horses over nine,
it is easily tried. If true, the horse dentist
must give up his trade-Er
