Dead Thing Against the Treasury.

The Springfield Republican throws
some light on the ''advance pay" fea-
ture of the salary grab business. The
bill, as signed by the President, pro
vides that Senators and Congressman
"may receive heir compensation
monthly, from the beginning of their
term until the beginning of the first
session of each Congress" This pro-
vision has not been allowed to lapse
into dead-letter; such provisions rare
ly are. On the fourth day of each
month, beginning with March, check
for $625-one-third more than the
monthly emolument of our statesmen
under the old law-has been sent to ev-
cry member, holding over Or elect, of
the Forty-third Congress.
In the great majority Of cases, the
money has undoubtedly been pocketed
without scruple, and put into circula-
ton without any unnecessary delay.
By August 4 each Congressman will
thus have received $3,l25, and by De-
cember, when the new Congress comes
together, S5,625, sum considerably
larger than the average back pay toted
off by his predecessor--or himself-last
March. Every penny Of this s5,625 is
in the nature of pay for work not yet
done; it is all pocketed, very likely all
spent, before the recipient renders the
slightest equivalent in legislative ser
vice. The aggregate amount that will
thus have been disturbed in "advance
pay" by the time Congress meets is
s2,O6S,75O
Yet some guileless voters expect to
sec the salaries restored by this Con-
gress to the former figure, and some
Republican conventions flatter this
hope by virtuously indignant resolu-
tons demanding" such restoration.
''They might as we'll talk of sleighihg
on last years snow" says the outspoken
St. Louis Democrat; "a repeal would
involve general reimbursement, and
this would be an act of virtue far be.
You'd the moral stamina of the average
Congressman. The fact is, the treasn-
~ is at the mercy of these gentlemen,
and we are not inclined to worry them
too much, lest they vote themselves
another increase just for spite"

A DANGEROUS GENERALIZATION.

A great deal has been said and written
since the war on the subject of centraliza-
ton. The complaint has been and is be-
ing made, that the policy of the Republi-
can party is to centralize the powers of the
Government at Washington and ignore,
discard or curtail the powers of State gov
ernments. This complaint proceeds chief
ly from hypocrites and demagogues, but
there are good men whose minds have not
been altogether easy on the subject. We
apprehend that this latter class have not
given up their old ante-bellum ideas of
States rights, and have learned exceeding
ly little from the lessons of the war.
But there is a Capitalization that the
country has cause to fear. We mean the
Capitalization of capital: Wall street
and few of the powerful railroad corpor-
atoms Of the East, exercise an influence
over Legislation by Congress and over
the Legislatures Of the States, that
can scarcely be realized. This is not so
/. of the East only. Where is the Legisla-
ture in any State that has not been largely
Influenced by railroad combinations
With the immense capital at their disposal,
they snap their fingers in the very face of
the Government and generally succeed in
debating their own terms in every transac.
ton. If they do not succeed without it,
they can turn enough money loose upon a
State Legislature to accomplish all their
ends, and do not hesitate to do it. The

BISHOPS Haven and Keener, represent
ing the two branches of the Methodist
Episcopal Church are in Mexico, organic
ing missions to be under the care of their
respective churches. It so happened that
Bishop Keener, of the Church South, had
secured chapel for public worship but
had no minister. On the contrary, Bishop
Haven had secured minister but had no
church. Bishop Keener with true Christ
ian courtesy, rendered to the minister OF
the other church the use of his church un-
til his minister should arrive, the M. +.
Church agreeing to seat and carpet the
audience room. This is an example
worthy of imitation, by some protested
Christian ministers who always have their
quilts up like the fretful porcupine, invit.
ing and preparing to have their sensitive
feelings disturbed.

Wall street gamblers have unlimited con-
troll of the finances of the nation, and do
not scruple to exercise it in their own in
terest. They sit upon thrones, monarchs
of all, and laugh to scorn the murmurings
of their victims. Here we have centraliza-
tion of the most arbitrary and dangerous
character. Unless there is some reform
some restraint thrown around these pow
erful monopolies, there is just ground to
apprehend something dangerous, aye ruin
Gus, from this source.

THE Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections has been charged with the
task of inquiring into the best manner of
electing President and Vice President Of
the United States. The committee has OBJ
tanned leave to sit during the recess for
that purpose. An informal meeting was
held after the adjournment of the Senate,
at which it was agreed to hold regular
meeting in October in Boston or New
York, the place to be determined by the
chairman, Senator Morton.
When the Constitution was formed, va
rious methods were proposed for the choice
of President and Vice-P President. First,
the choice was proposed to be made by
Congress; secondly, by the State Legisla-
lures thirdly, by the people at large !;
fourthly, by the people in districts; and
lastly by Electors. Upon due considera-
ton the last was adopted as being the most
eligible. Originally the Electors were re-
quired to meet in several States and vote
for two parsons. The person receiving the
highest number of votes was declared
President, and the next highest was Vice.
President. That clause was subsequently
repealed and the present method adopted.
Ever since, there has been large number
of persons in the country who have agita-
ted a change of the mode. 1t is not at all inn
probable, we think, that Senator Norton g
committee will propose some decided
change in the matter.

The respective friends of Tom Scott and
Gen. Malone have been making things
lively in the Old Dominion for some time
past. For time it was only war of
words, but the chiyalry of some of those
concerned was at length so aroused that a
resort to pistols was considered necessary
to vindicate insulted and injured honor.
The parties were two Knights of the quill
in Norfolk, Walters, of the Journal, ard
Hope, of the Virginian. r.t -It
A meeting was arranged to take place in
North Carolina. The belligerents were on
the eve of starting for the "dark and
bloody ground - on Friday evening of last
week, but the Mayor of the city became ac-
quainted with the facts, when he proceed
ed to arrest the parties, and placed them in
bonds of $1,000 each not to fight in the
State or out of it. Hope is a grandson of
Commodore Baron who killed Commodore
Decatur at Bladensburg. He fought duel
a few years agowith his cousin. They are
beth men of intelligence and ought to have
aetter sense than to engage in this played
out custom. rgis s.E5 o.
