Oar Washington letter.
WASHINGTON. March 10. 187:

WASHINGTON, March 10, 1878.
Editor Rutland Herald An act, and
an omission of Congress, in the expiring
moments of the session are of such q
character as just now to draw the con-
centrated fire of the press, and all eyes
in the country from things of even great
er magnitude. We refer to the passing
of the salary bill, so-called, and the re-
lection of the Louisiana bill. Probably
nothing could be found to strike a more
discordant note in the popular chorus
than has the raising of salaries from
President down to Congress. The main
objection is that Congress made its own
advance retroactia1 for the entire two
years when, as a matter of fact, these
two years had, with the exception of ten
hours, gone TO swell the follies and wis
dom of the past when the bill was voted.
Nine-tenths of the men in Congress
claim that the pay has been scarcely
equal to days wages upon farm in
comparison to the necessary expendi-
lures attending the Office, and nine-tenths
of other sensible people who take the
trouble to investigate are satisfied that
if member attends faithfully to the in
terests of his constituents and does not
speculate upon his position (Which
heaven forbid he should do he must
necessarily expend more than his salary.
This was just as obvious two years ago
and had Congress then abolished frank
ing and put up their salary there would
have been less clamor; but politics then
could not stand it, so Congress waits I'M
til dead political calm is reached and
then goes back two years to do right
The entire wrong in this matter becomes
such. by reasons of the hating and back
ing. of all things most needful at this
hour it is honest, disinterested officers of
government. The most successful in all
business callings say that half-paid
servant is the most expensive in the end,
and it is becoming recognized fact
that you can starve man to steal, while
the same man literally fed would be
raised above temptation and placed upon
a plane of self-respect where all the
legions of darkness could not jar his in
tegrity. We believe it a pernicious
policy that pays their most res
ponsible servants in starving honors.
We are willing to see valuable services
rewarded in cash and less spent in white
washing men whom we indirectly starve
INTO irregularities. Pay members ten
thousand year, twenty if need be-let
it be enough SO that they can afford to
be honest and then if they are not brand
them without pity. Prohibit stock lob
bling and speculating-in short, do some
thing, do anything to extirpate the pre-
valent idea, too often verified in fact.
that term or two in Congress is equiv |
alent to fortune, and poor men soon
become millionaires upon five thousand |
a year. The country would make money
by such course, and it would make
better than money too. But
in this instance the back pay! Strange,
men can't do right without employing
wrong in doing it. This clause appealed

Senator CaldwelI's Defence.

Senator Caldwell puts his defence up
on the following grounds:
First, The election of Senator, like
the enactment of law, is an act of the
State in its sovereign capacity, and the
motives of the members voting cannot
be inquired into for the purpose of in
validating it.
Second, In judging OF the qualitica-
tons the Senate cannot add to those pre-
scribed by the constitution in judging of
returns, and the legal requirements can
not be amplified. In judging of cleo
tions the only question to be considered
is, whether it was the Legislature Of the
State that made the election, and wheth-
er 1t was held at the time and place and
in the manner prescribed by the act of
Congress. In this case these questions
are all answered in the affirmative.
Third, Not a dollar is traced from
him (CaldwelD or by his authority, or
from anybody else, to any member of
the Legislature for his vote.
Mr.. Caldwell concludes as follows:
| here most sOlemnly declare that |
never did, directly or indirectly, pay or
cause to be paid, one dollar or any other
thing of value, or any consideration
whatever, for any mans vote for me
for the Senate. Am then to be the
victim of a wicked conspiracy? Are
these bold, bad men whose names are
synonymous of the crime and corrup-
ton in my State, to succeed by force OF.
thier own false statements in bringing
disgrace and ruin upon me, and that,
too, because | choose to cross their an
righteous demands? | beg Senators to
reflect that it is not alone to retain a
seat in this body that have for the past
eighteen months been resisting the wick
ed designs of these men, but rather to
defeat their base and infamous attempt to
attach disgrace and dishonor on my
name

CHICAGO. Feb % lie

CHlCAGO, rep. -, 1873.
Editor Rutland Herald We arrived
at this city last night at $50, being four
teen hours late without any cause for the
delay, except the inefficiency of those
who have the management of the Erie
and Atlantic and Great Western rail-
roads. The fear of new blockades on
the northern roads induced us to take a
more southern route from Boston to this
place. We avoided any delay or incon-
venience from snow, but never were we
so annoyed by what seemed unnecessary
delay, as we experienced on the Erie
and Atlantic and Great Western rail-
ways. On the latter road we were told
by the conductor that for over two
months he had had no use for his watch
as the trains had in every instance
been behind time and were run wholly
by telegraph. At New York we paid
our extra fare for Pullman car to
cleveland, but on our arrival at Leavits-
burg, about midnight, we were told to
change cars for Cleveland, as that Pull
man car was going to Cincinnati. We

There would seem to be reasonable
ground for apprehension that the New
York trades unions are preparing for a
repetition of the formidable strike of last
year, the results of which We're so disas-
trous to the workmen and the various
branches of business they represented.
The Tribune states, as the result of
thorough canvas of the matter among
employers and workmen, that the COM
mon belief is that a strike is inevitable,
and that out of nearly one hundred or
CARNATIONS in the city, most if not all of
them will engage in it. But parties are
therefore preparing for the issue, and the
contest will probably be even more pro-
longed and bitter than that Of last year,
which cost the wOrkmen, in loss of wages
fully two millions of dollars, and the en-
ployers, in profits, an equal amount. 1t
is understood that the strike will be pri-
marily, for eight hours day work. The
danger is that it will not be confined to
New York, but will extend throughout
the east, and possibly spread to all other
sections of the country.

The Isle of Shoals Murder.

PORTSMOUTH, n. H., March 7, 1873.
This has been a day of extreme ex-
element in Portsmouth. Such a scene
as that at the Eastern Railroad station at
noon was never before seen in this city.
The crowd could hardly have numbered
less than ten thousand, and it was evil
dent that extraordinary precautions
would be necessary to prevent a riot. A
detachment of marines was therefore in
readiness at the station on the arrival of
the 1890 train, in which the murderer
was expected, having left Boston at ten
o'clock in charge of City Marshal John
son. He was dressed in dark, parti-
colored woollen shirt, and plaid panta-
looms. He had neither vest nor coat and
wore soft dress felt hat, which he
kept drawn over his small, light blue
eyes. His face flushed to extreme red
hess, was shorn of the heavy whiskers
which he wore on the night of the MUIR
der, and his moustache was cut quite
short. his wrists were manacled, the
largest handouts being too tight for
them. He kept his head averted from
the car window, and showed desire to
avoid the eager throngs who climbed IN
the sides of the cars and filled all the sta
tiOns along the road. More than once
he buried his face so that it was com
pletely hidden in coat which some one
kindly loaned him.

I,puRAr. REpuBLIcANs.-Vcrm and
New Hampshire, two States lying side
by side. have the same representation IN
Congress and nearly the same popula-
tion.- Both are naturally Repubhcan
States, the only difference being that
Vermont is much the stronger IN the
faith. 1t may be necessary to recall, as
a fact in history, that convention was
held in Cincinnati in May of last year,
at which Greeley and Brown were
nominated for President and Vice-Presi-
dent of the United States, and what Is
or has been called the Liberal Republi-
can" party, formed, founded, establish
ed. talked or dreamed of. This party
was bound to revolutionize the politics
of the country and ''raise Ned" generally
in Vermont and New Hampshire. Elec-
tions came and passed, the Republican
ctranpth remained about the same, with
a decided falling off in the opposition
strength. The explanation was that the
Democrats. ashamed of their company,
we presume, didn't turn out, but that
the mass of the opposition vote was
polled by the Liberals; when they had
an opportunity, they would demonstrate
their strength, etc. Well, the oppor-
tunity came, Tuesday, in New Hamp-
shire. and from their strength there, we
can Judge how enormous they must be
in Vermont. At the present writing
we have returns from one hundred and
forty-five towns in New Hampshire, in
which the Liberal Republican candidate
for Governor received flee hundred ana
three votes, being fraction over three
voters in town. These are the mel
| that were talking about percentages Of
