WEDNESDAY, DEC. "a, 1873.
THE SALARY BILL.

The House of Representatives has
placed the will of the people in de-
iance by the course it has pursued
on the Salary Bill. The members eff
that body could not mistake the wishes
of their constituents in the matter.
There seemed to be no difference of
opinion among the people on the sub
iect. From one end of the country to
the other the cry was for the repeal of
that portion Of the salary bill plac-
ing the salary Of Members of Con-
gress at $1,000, and the people were
unanimous in demanding that the pay
should be reduced to the former figures,
namely $4,000, believing that under all
the circumstances this was sufficient.
But What an utter disregard has been
paid to the popular will by those, whom
it is generally supposed are the servants
of the people, and WHAT mockery of
popular representation does their course
present In view of the unanimous
desire among the people for the repeal
of the salary bill it was confidently ex-
peeted that the members would imme-
diately revoke the obnoxious measure.
After wrangling for a week or more
and acting like lot of men whose idol
and chief end in life is the almighty
dollar" they finally passed bill fixing
the salary at $4,000. This splitting
the difference does not meet the peo-
pies sanction. 1t is not SO much the
paltry $1,000 the members insist on re.
tanning, that affects public sentiment
as it is the seeming defiance of the
plainly expressed will of the country
this record shows. The bill went to
the Senate and to the credit of that
body it amended it in such way as to
make it conform to the peoples wishes,
placing the salaries Of members at the
old sum of $4,000. Whether the House
of Representatives will be SO impudent,
obstinate and insolent as to reject the
Senate amemendment remains to be
saen

SELLING A TELEGRAPH.

NEW YORK, December 19.-At
meeting to-day of the Executive Com
mlttee of the Board of Directors of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
at the company's Office, a lease of the
lines of the Pacific and Atlantic Tele-
graph Company was contaminated It
was agreed to at a meeting of the Board
of Directors of the latter company, held
in Pittsburgh on Wednesday last
The Western Company already own
three-fourths Of the stock, and by the
terms Of the lease they are to pay 4
per cent. per annum Of the whole cap
ital stock of 81, 900, 900, which on one
quarter Of the total stock calls for an
outlay Of only $4,000 year
The capital of the Pacific and At
lantc Telegraph Company is $1,000
600. Their lines extend from New
York via Philadelphia and Baltimore
to Pittsburgh, Columbus, indianapolis,
St Louis and St. Paul, branching from
Dubuque to Chicago. thence to Gin
cinnati, Nashville, Memphis and New
Orleans, They own 5000 miles of
line and 10000 miles of wire. The
gross receipts Of the Company last year
were S5o0,000
President Orion said to-day that, al
though the Pacific and Atlantic Com
pany have not succeeded in making
their line profitable, working in OPP
position to the Western Union, the lat
ter intends to take the wires into it's
own Offices, and expects to derive a
large profit from them, larger even
than from their own line. They have
Offices in nearly every town through
which the Pacific and Atlantic wires
run, and little additional expense will
therefore be increased in working their
new lines. 1T costs the Western
Union Company" said President Or
ton, "about 20 per cent. of their re-
ceipts to carry on their business. They
can take the business of their Compel
itors at cost of so per cent. on the
gross earnings" The gross earnings
of the Pacific Atlantic Company hav.
ing been $500, 900, the Western Unicn
Directors expect to make clear profit
of S250,000.

TROUBLE IN NJ ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
December 10 There are apprehen-
sions of serious troubles growing out
of the election for Mayor of this city
General Cortina, who received the ma
jority of the popular vote, is obnoxious
to the present city authorities, who are
endeavoring to prevent him being de-
clared elected Sunday. Four or five
hundred of Cortina's friends are said
to be under arms, with view to sus-
tanning the claims of their chief. The
city authorities are represented to have
applied to the national Government by
telegraph for the support of Federal
troops in this city, which was denied.
The guards of regular troops have been
withdrawn from the public buildings,
and the city authorities have placed
State troops on duty, as the national
forces will remain neutral in the con.
test. General Cortina will doubtless
be successful.
