the preceding, and the question arises as
to whether $4,000 is pay sufficient for
the man and the office. We intend to
send men from our state, who shall be
in ability and integrity the peers of av-
erage congressman, and we ought to
suitably reward them for their service
OF course a0e erpcct them to be eeofe0npi-
cal, temperate and Uirtuous. The neces-
sary expenses of Washington life are
high, and as matter of emolument no
congressman's pay will equal what he
ought to obtain for his services in his
business at home. The honors Of the
office are rated by some as sufficient to
reward the occupant for his services In
the case of some men this reward would
be small. Vermonts delegation did not
vote for the raising of their pay, and are
reluctant about keeping the $4,000 ex-
ira received for past services. Senator
Morrill, would give it to the State, others
would assist in benevolent enterprises,
but nobody seems willing to take prop
erty that congressman have scruples
about receiving as their own Why not
pay it back into the treasury? We can
not help thinking that much of the con-
scientious feeling that members have ex-
perienced about keeping it, would not
have been felt if the press had remained
silent on the subject.

THE KANSAS MURDER.

In Labette county in Kansas has lived
family consisting of four persons, two
men and two women by the name of
Bender. They occupied house in the
open prairie some two or three miles from
airy considerable town and kept sort
of wayside tavern. Their neighbors
knew little of them and they held little
intercourse with the world. During the
last two years several persons from that
vicinity have miraculousiy disappeared,
and no knowledge could ever after be
obtained in regard to them. This spring
man of considerable repute, named
DR.. York, started to 90 short distance
across the prairie, but did not return
home, and no trace could be had of him.
Diligent search in all directions failed
to find him. The house and premises of
the Bender's was searched but no dis
coveries were made At length it was
noticed that no smoke was seen to come
from the chimney and nobody was seen
about the house. This created some
surprise and it was discovered that the
family had left. but their furniture aud
everything remained. Suspicion was
aroused and diligent search was made.
which revealed the fact that under one
of the beds in the house trap door was
concealed. This was opened and hole
of considerable depth was found under
meath the house. While in this hole
examining it, it was found that blood
covered the bottom, but nothing else
could be discovered that indicated foul
play. Examination was then made in
in the garden and revelation of horror
ensued The bodies of eleven persons.
one of them a small child, who had APP
parently been buried alive were found.
Nearly all had been fearfully mutilated.
and then thrown into the pits. Two or
three thousand persons gathered about
the premises and the excitement knew
no bounds. 1t is reported that the fiends
have been found. but this is uncertain
Never do we remember to have read OF
heard of more cold blooded and fend-
ish murders than these. There are cases
where hanging is humane and the tor.
lures of barbarism seem none to severe
to inhict.
The object of the murders is supposed
to have been money.

THE INCREASE OF SALARIES.

One of the last acts of the last Con-
gress, increased the salaries of certain
government officers among whom were
Judges of the Supreme court, the Presi-
dent, the Vice President and Members
of Congress. The press has made great
complaint on account of the increase,
and we think has been unreasonable in
regard to it. We did not think it
wise measure to raise the pay of men,
bers of Congress, but believed that some
of the officers of government were not
suitably rewarded for their services. The
eminent lawyer who is competent to fill
the chair of judge of the supreme court,
commands by his profession and in his
own business pay much larger than he
receives for lis salary as Judge the
$4,000 paid the President annually, is
not adequate to the Office and the ex-
pense which he must be to, to maintain
the dignity and keep up appearances.
which shall comport with the office of
the Chief Executive.
The chief complaint is made against
members of Congress, who not only in
creased their pay in the future, but for
the term of which they were then just
serving out. This gave them nearly
$4,000 more than they would have re-
ceived for the term from the old salary.
The salary now is $1,000 year, an in
crease of $500. But it is claimed that
the law in regard to mileage will re-
duce these figures some, as it makes the
mileage lower. 1t appears that it is
nothing new to make the increase of sal
airy apply to the term of Congress in
which the increase is authorized, as il
has been done repeatedly before, and a
precedent of this kind will not be sci
aside as it is for the interest of all par.
ties to let it stand. So there is nothing
criminal or unheard Of 10 this part Of

WRECKED ON THE Rocks OF THE La
CHINE RApIDs.-The Steamer L. Renard
left Cornwall for Montreal, Monday
morning at about five o'clock, and Beau
harnois at 5:l5 in the afternoon. At 6
o'clock in the evening she was approach
ing the Lachine Rapids. she struck her
bow on sunken rock, bounded free of
the obstruction, but Immediately after
wards, unsettled in her course, dashed
upon another on which she remained
firm the water rushed in torrents into
the gaping hole, and shortly afterwards
filling, she sank to the guards. About
$50 passengers from Cornwall and the
intermediate towns were on board. with
considerable number of live stock,
cattle and horses belonging to drovers,
and the scene of CONSERVATION and con-
fusion which ensued can be imagined.
With great difficulty and at great risk
about two-t thirds of the passengers were
got to the shore, in small boats, during
the night. About sixty, mostly women
took refuge on a small island, where
they passed the night, and from whence
they were removed the next morning
after nine or ten o'clock. Three passen.
gers were badly scalded.

The AsHANTEEs.-The flea is an in
sect not often mentioned in ears polite
but there is an ancient poem which as
serts that
"Great f1eas have lesser fleas
And these have less to bite lem,
These lesser feas have smaller fleas,
So on, ad infinitum."

And these have less to bite 'em,
These lesser heas have smaller feas,
So on, ad infnitum."
This great truth thus forcibly express
ed, is having several exemplifcations,
just at present. Uncle Sam is in tronb
lie with the Modocs the Dutch are en-
broiled with the Atchines the French
are fighting the A lgerines the Russians
are warning with the Khivans and now
comes the Ashantees, $4,000 strong,
marching upon Elmina, British fort on
the gold coast of Africa Before this
war assumes formidable proportions, 1t
will be of interest to know what and
where the Ashantee kingdom is. We
find from good authority, that it is a
powerful native kingdom on the Gold
Coast. 80 miles square, and with a
population of over three millions.-The
people are very ferocious, and wear hu-
man teeth and jawbones for jewelry.-
The country is rich in gold and the peo-
pie are proficient in certain manufact-
lures. Elmina is said to be we'll de-
Tended, as it will need to be to withstand
