Reducing Salaries.

One of the first acts of the Conserva-
tive Reform members of the Legislature
vii be to agitate for reduction of taxes
and reduction of the expenses of the
state government. In effecting this lat
'ef object, the Importance of cutting
down salaries will not be lost sight of.
We observe that a bill is pending in the
Alabama House of Representatives, to
regulate salaries, the principal features OF
which are as follows:
Governors salary $1,000; Auditors $4,000
saG lees; Treasurer $4,000; ATTORNEY Gen
Hn N,5OO; Secretary of State $1,000; SUI
stratendent of Education $4,000; Lieut.

The Newton Couury.Cases.

We learn that Swan q Co., the con-
fpAtors against the peace and dignity OF
Newton county and against the rights OF
IL citizens, have completely failed to ac-
Fmplish their ends. They were defeat
ID at the polls, and then manipulated the
ballot box. Then they were defeated in
he courts, a jury composed of white and
|aOred jnrors deciding against them, and
commissions were issued to the successful
Democratic candidates. As last resort
they appealed to Governor Powers to re
yoke the commissions first issued, and
commission them as officers of Newton
county We have been informed that
|ae Governor emphatically refuses to
take part in their villainy by complying
with their request. If this be the case,
they can do no more. 1t now remains
ioF the citizens of Newton to take them
10 charge and try the effect Of the En-
iorcement Act upon them.

From the Port Gibson Standard.
The eldest child of Mr.. and Mrs. Lynch,
of Memphis, was burned to death at the resi-
dence Of j. B. Thrasher, Esq, in this town
on last Wednesday. The particulars of this
sad and painful accident are as follows !:

and visiting at his house, left her two little
children in q room playing and eating nufs.
Soon after she lett the room the eldest child

so that the child could not open it, and the
mother, being in the garden. could not

but having no idea OF the cause, and, sup
posing it to be something usual, paid no
attention for some time until something In
their tone caused her 70 90 and see what
was the matter. When she opened the door
she found the child with her whole front

In the Senate, Mr.. Trumbull, Reform
Republican, of Illinois, has introduced a
