THE SALARY QUESTION.


The special committee on the salary were
unable to make their report Monday. The
committee, however, met in the morn
ing and agree upon n bill which they
expect 10 report Tuesday. The bill Is very
simple. II provides for the repeal of the
present law, and fixes the future salary at
$500, with actual travelling expenses,
leaving the salaries Of the President, Cabi-
net, and Supreme Court Judges unchanged.
WHAT SECRETARY RICHARDSON WANTS.
Judge Richardson says that if Congress
is willing to reduce the estimates it will
accomplish all that he asks He simply
insists that the present resources Of the
country, under existing circumstance, are
not sufficient and that deficit must soon
occur. If, on the other hand, the repre-
scntativcs will commence their economies
in their own districts, they can accomplish
the same purpose which the increase Of
taxation would effect.

The Custom of Murder.

~ Al UCSOAAib9 AooiiAohssSAS w OIuI ASis
To abstain from taking the life Of
human being is cold fashioned i; it is
to-day significant of a weak sentiment
alism. He is a coward who dare not
kill The recent PARTICLE in New
York, savors of this fashion most ex-
quisitely, and the fiend who perpetrat-
ed the CHASTITY joke. that he might not
be behind the times, and that he might
be up with the custom of the day, is
being lionized and feted and numerous
are the cards sent in to the poor perse-
cuted votary Of the red hand Of death
who, alas is confined in cell like
common purloiner Of goods from the
dirty counters Of The Bowery.
In reading the statement of facts
of this recent terrible assassination, we
can look at it only IN the light of a
business transaction-as deliberately
done as is the buying of stocks or as
are the transfers of real estate.
A young man, whose mother has
been the recipient of discourteous let
tiers from her husband, very coolly
leaves gay watering place AMI HES
him to "the city to shoot his wicket
father. He arrives iii the city pre-
pares letter to be delivered to 1.-THE
governor in case he should be absent
when he should call upon him, request
ing him to call at room No. -, uo-
tel -. He then repairs to the
place Of slaughter, perfumed aud dedi
Gated to the God Of blood, dons his
hat and over-coat and awaits tho COM
ing of his victim. The father shortly
arrives, and is accosted very gentle
manly, and then this dialogue is tho
prelude to the sacrifice.
"Will you promise to not again
threaten, or write any more insulting
letters to my mother 7"
II promise.
"Well, all this is very well, but |
guess you don't mean to keep your
promise. This is altogether too thin,
and | guess | had better shoot you
And the fashionable fend puts four
bullets ineo the boiy Of his parent.
A cry, murder is heard, and the
young scion coolly walks to the Office
Of the hotel, says 81 have shot my
father, where is there police o4fcer?'
He is arrested |, and the wires send out
to all the world the brief words, AN
other NJ lrder. Is
These are the facts in this terrible
tragedy, though ehroniclel after no
regular formala.-
There is a terrible lesson to be learn
ed in the daily recital Of just such
tragedies. The press teens with them,
and a hungry and initiated taste calls
for more by being fed so abundantly.
Our society is demorai.zed. The gall
ovs Is being made respectable. The
Stokes, the Fosters, the Nixons, and
the Walworths are making it respect
able, and only when society shall have
been taught to look upon murderer
as something good deal less than
an angel, will the tide Of crime have
been stayed, and the taking of life by
the assassin bullet become heinous
offence, rather than serve the purpose
for the display of a f.lso sentimental
ism, fast ensendering laudation and
ovation.

ATTACHMENT ONCE MORE
The Il take Made by the Senate in De-
feating the Repeal from a Democratic
STANDPOINT.

fFrpm the Sussex Journal, DemOorauc.l
The subject Of the repeal or modification
of the attachment law has been canvassed
by our law makers and we fear the Demo-
Gratis have not viewed this subject in the
light they should.
There are strong arguments pro aud
con. There is q doubt In the minds Of
many that a repeal of the law would bene-
at the poor laborer, and some contend,
honestly, too, that 1t would seriously injure
bis credit, &c. Now, as representatives OF
the people and the Democratic party, we
thiuk that as this is debatable question
that the Democratic members can hnd
solution Of the question in decidedly
another direction.
There IL no doubt that the laboring men
desire the repeal or modification Of this
law, they are voters, they are of all peo-
pie the most Jealous Of their rights, they
point to sick family which has suffered
for bread by the enforcement OF this law,
they have created a public feeling and
sentimant in favor of Its repeal. Can the
Democratic party's representatives take
the responsibility of voting against III
| This is a question for each member To de-
eide, but we warn them TO be cautious how
that decision Is made. II the laboring men
of this State take no Interest 10 II, you may
vote as your Judgment dictates, being sure
that that Judgment Is not biased by per-
eonal interest. But If the laboriug men of
this State are on the watch, If they are re-
specially asking this repeal, in the name
Of the Democratic party we bid you heed
that voice. II you cannot repeal the law,
make It so that laborer's family shall be
secure in half his wages. We are not now
legisatlng to sanction the acts of those
who have lived before us. The world Ia
moving, new issues arise each year and II
we would hold the power as a political
party we must feel the public pulse, meet
the demands of the times bow TO the will
OF the people and give attentive ear to the
voice Of the laborer as well as the words
of the land owner.
The Democratic party cannot afford to
tie itself 10 the decaylng carcuses of the
past, 1t must be inspired by vital and live
issues, lead by the champions of humat
, liberty. We must shake of the manacl'
of the past, cease to be party of mega
tions and become the aggressive ropTesen
tatives of a live and enterpr sing people
, You cannot feed the people Of this Stat
/ upon husks, you cannot disregard the rea
sonable demands of the people Of an
class. The world is moving and he win
a will not move with II must be crushsd b.

NEW RAILWAY WORCESTERSHIRE NEW
CHARTER "A POSSIBLE RAILWAY.
Our readers, of course, know that bill
is pending in the Legislature chartering a
company called the Wilmington, Shellpol
Il Edge Moor Railway Company, with
power TO build and operate horse rail-
way from Edge Moor, via Shellpot to
Philadelphia Pike, and then over the
avenue and Market street TO this city.
Several amendments have been offered to
the bill, ana if ii passes with these amend
ments, the company will be prohibited lay
ing its track either on King or French
streets, and will not be allowed TO run
over the tracks Of the City Railway Com
pany unless that corporation is willing,
and will have TO form junction with tie
old company at Tenth and Market The
original bill allowed the new company the
use of either King or French streets or
permission TO use the tracks Of the present
company. commissioners to decide upon
the amount to be paid for this privilege.
Quite recently another and entirely diff
fcreut scheme has been proposed, and
those interested have applied ~ the officers
Of our present City Railway Company to
examine into its feasibility with a view TO
taking an Interest in it. II is proposed
