Auditor of Indiana, is addressing q
circular to the Auditors Of the differ
ent States, requesting them to send him
the following information:
THE amount of taxable property in
the State; the amount of tax levied for
State purposes on the 500; the amount
of expenses Of the Legislature per year
during the last three years; the cost OF
maintaining the benevolent institutions
the last fiscal year; the cost of the re-
formatory institutions the last fiscal
year; the cost of the State prisons the
year: the school revenue from all sour
ces the last fiscal year; the cost Of the
Executive Department, including sala-
ries of State officers, and their Office ex-
penses, the last year; the cost Of public

TILE SALARY SITUATION.

In its desperate efforts to meet the
popular demand for the repeal OF the
salary grab, the House of Representa-
tatives has cut some most ridiculous
figures. After several days Of bun
combe. in which the great majority OF
the members took occasion to denounce
the grab, the matter was referred to
special committee with explicit instruc-
tons to report bill placing salaries ON
the old basis with an equalization OF
mileage and other old perquisites. The
select committee made II careful compu-
tation and found the exact cost per
member under the old law was SOIL
80 For the sake Of round numbers,
they reported. So, 500 as the equivalent
of the old salary and old allowances.
Mr.. Hale's explanation of howthe COM
mittee arrived at this estimate, shows
that the old mileage, amounting to an
average of S416.S0 per member, was IN
cluded in this $500 Yet in addition
to this sum, the committees bill gave
members a new mileage in the shape OF
actual travelling expenses. The first
amendment to this bill was Kasson' S,
making it take effect from March last
and thus reaching members who
have drawn nine months pay
already at the rate of 81
500 per annum, and have therefore
already drawn IS, 625-a trihc over the
proposed new rate for the whole year.
The House adopted this amendment,
and clinched it by laying on the table
a motion to reconsider. Next came an
effort to leave the salary Of future Pres
idcnts at $4,000, which was defeated,
as was also an effort to leave the salary
of the present Cabinet officers at Sl0,-
600. An effort to leave undisturbed the
pitiful increase Of clerks and employees
in Congress was likewise voted down
Next came the question Of the two
years back pay, $4,000 each, taken by
members Of the last Congress. The

A LAW has been passed In Prussia
by which the poorer classes will be re-
ieved from taxation to the estimated
amount Of nearly three millions of
thalers. When can we expect such a
result in this country: Not while the
present party is in power. Only a few
days ago the Secretary of the Treasury
sent letter to Congress recommending
the taxing of the poor mans free
breakfast" by lcvying a duty on tea
and coffee, that the high salaries and
enormous expenses Of the government
may be met. The Republican leaders
favor numerous ofiicc-holdcrs, high sal
aries, high taxes and heavy debts.
That is their policy, and as at last all
revenue comes from the hard earnings
of laboring men, that class is III a
worse condition than they were twenty
years ago. All expenses Of a national
character should be reduced as fast as
possible, and thel the United States
could initiate the example Of Prussia
and remove the load Of taxation from
the shoulders of the toiling millions.

House voted by 156 to 10l that re-
elected members of the present Con-
gress, who had accepted that $1,000, |
should refund it by monthly INSTALL
ments This was brave work, but the
House could not long endure such
strain Of virtuous resolutions. Alb
solute justice was too much, and
the Tempter was near at hand.
Ben Butler knew his opportunity
had come. and called up Hurlbut, with
his $4,000 bill-the passage of which by
the House, amid confusion and impa-
tient hilarity, rendered all the previous
action Of the House broad burlesque.
This bill gives each member an increase
over the old rate Of $500, aggregating
S18S, 900. This amount may
seem mere trife in view of the forty
two millions needed by Secretary Rich
ardson, but the people will look rather
at the greed betrayed by members, and
their disregard of the unanimous ver-
dict of the country that salaries must
90 back to their old basis. The people
will be content with nothing less.
When the prices of produce. provisions,
labor, and every thing else are falling,
and when the national Treasuryis daily
threatened with insolvency, the salaries
of Congressman cannot be placed
one cent above the old standard without
mourning universal Indignation. Be-
sides, this bill leaves the Presidents
salary $4,000 permanently. 1t leaves
the increase of Congressional employees
and Cabinet officers undisturbed, as
well as those of the Supreme Judges.
Lastly, it takes effect only from Its
passage, leaving members in quiet pos
session of their $1,000 back pay, and
their nine months of advance pay at
the rate of 81, 50O-ignoring the verdict
of the country on these grabs. Such
is the bill which the overwhelming Rad
ical majority of the House sends to the
| Senate for concurrence:

more than usually active, spurty and

continually at the front, catching on

to an agreement to proceed with the
debate on the salary bill IN twenty
minute speeches, Cox dispatches a

To which the Speaker replied: .
