The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1873-07-18

SENATOR CARPENTER has recently made a
speech to his friends in Wisconsin-to con-
vince them that the action of Congress, at the
last session, in voting back pay and increased
salary to its members was not only constitu-
tional, lawful, and supported by distinguished
precedents through the entire history Of the
Government, but tnat 1t was a thing in itself
entirely just, proper, and honorable.
Notwithstanding all this, Mr.. Carpenter will
find that the popular decision is against bim,
and that he might as we'll attempt to brush
back the falling volume of Niagara with a
feather as to suppose, for a single instant, that
the people can be satisfied by any amount of
argument, with the action of the last Congress.
There are some subjects which are settled
only by instinct and intuition, by that which,
inhuman beings, we call common sense, and
not by established forms of logic not by the
sophistry the plausblhty, the finesee of orator.
ical display. And this happens to be one of
them.
The very things which are argued in justin
cation OF the deed have excited the popular
suspicion and disgust, and the point which is
made by the people against their representa-
tives in Congress-, on this question, is not that
they acted under the sanction of the Constltu-
ton and of former precedents, but that they
took advantage OF these pretexts to betray a
iducary character, which is even more sacred
than forms of law. The accusation OF the peo-
pie in this case is that. being clothed with
power to do 1t under the forms of law, and
embodened by prior examples, they profted
themselves at the expense OF the public treas
ury, without so much as asking the consent Of
the people.
And the same reasoning which would justify
the act in question would, upon the same prin-
cpe, justify the next Congress in voting them
selves any amount Of the peoples money.
The argument OF these gentlemen, therefore,
proves too much; the people cannot stand it,
and they will not. They will not allow their
agents to vote themselves salaries of any inde-
finable amount on the plea that they can earn
more in other occupations; that their living
necessities require 1t; that other men have
done it before them, or that the national char
ter gives them the power to do it.
The people will say to such men, by their
votes at the next election, "True, you have
done this because you had the power OF the
right, but we will see to it that you shall never
have the power or the right to do it again; and
we will make such an example of you that il
shall prove warning to all fnture politicians
not to trife with the treasure OF the people
simply because they are clothed for the time
being with legal or constitutional authority
which shields them in it,
This is case where, under the existing sys-
tenn, the people have no remedy against the
encroachments Of their representatives in Con-
gress but the ballot. II ia q remedy very i'm

this question afresh. We like him for many
reasons. We admire his GENIAL spirit, hia great
talents and honest purposes. but he has made
a mistake in this matter, which will he brought
home to him and TO the Republican party.

The st. CLAIR Republican makes strong
point against the new postal law, 50 far as 1t
levies tribute on country newspapers. It Sass
that the country press Is now obliged to pay as
much as metropolitan journals, and newspapers
carried only one mile-or, as in Paw raw not
carried at all in the mail bags, but only handed
through the postofice windows-must pay the
same as metropolitan journals which are brought
thousands of miles. No distinction is made
between mail carriage to the next township,
and carriage from Name to Oregon. This is
grossly unequal and unjust, and seems almost
designed to crush the country nowspapers.-
The Republican adds; "Let CONGRESS- grade
the postage at certain rate within the county,
another for points within the State, and third
for all points beyond the state, so ss to approx
imstely cover the expenses Of each for trans
mission, requiring il all to be prepaid by the
publishers, and we should heartily approve Of
the change"

''Toe Hon. Vim. A. Richardson, secretary
OF the Treasury
The amount refunded IS the exact difference
between the pay allowed rnder the new law
and the pay allowed under the old law. The
new law gave an increase Of Eve thousand dol
lars salary for the term, without mileage. The
old law allowed five thousand dollars less but
gave mlage in addition. Our Senators took
the amount due them under the old law, which
was in operation when they were elected with
mileage, and returned every cent additional
which was allowed them under the new law.
The closing sentence of this letter requests
the Secretary of the Treasury to refuse giving
publicity to the matter. or course, in the face
of that request, we could not honorably pub
lirh this letter until we could persuade the par
ties interested to accord us permission to dc
30. Now that it lie made public it utterly re-
flutes every malicious insinuation of the opposi'
ton journals, and convicts them OF libel and
it shows the people OF MichiGn that their Sena-
tors have acted bonorably, just as the Repub-
licans of this State knew they would act, and
justifes the public confidence which has patient
ly waited until they should see fit to allow the
entire facts to be made public.

The Cunard steamship Cuba brought to our
shores yesterday morning the queen Of the lyric
stage. Mme Christine Nilsson, the Swedish night
fngale who, o couple OF seasons past restored
and rescued from utter oblivion the sink

fatigue consequent upon her voyage, Nine. Nilsson
appears be in the best OF health and Spirits and
expresses herself well pleased to meet once more
and for the last time her dear friends the New York
public. Shortly before her departure from Europe
she paid visit to Switzerland with some
distinction sudden squall arose and
a safe harbor. The Diva was drenched with the
spray and rain, and for some time she gave up all
hope OF revlsitng America or even OF reaching the
cally OF the warmth and devotion OF the Russians
during her last season In st: Petersburg. This is
to the stage. The steamship Europe, which
arrived last evening, brought the following mem
bers Of the Strakosch italian Opera Company,

On the Europe were twenty chorus singers brought
over by Mr. Strakosch from London to join the,bOdy

BY the same vessel arrived the celebrated Italian
tragedian, Salvni and his entire company, num-
bering forty persons. The great interpreter Of
Alneri and Shakespeare was welcomed on his arri-
val by a delegation OF New Workers on the steamer
