THE SALARY QUESTION.

The salary question has been re-
committed to 4 select committee,
with instructions to report bill re-
peating the whole salary legislation
of, last March, so far as can be done
under the Constitution, and fixing
the salaries of members of Congress
at an average of the salaries, mileage
and allowances, exclusive of the
franklng privilege, paid before the
passage of the Act of March last
Actual travelling expenses are to be
allowed. This will be equivalent to
an increase over the old salary for
members from States in easy reach
of Washington, and a decrease for
those from distant States. All but
members of Congress Supreme Jud-
ges, and President will be reduced
to the old rates.

SETTLING QUESTIONS.

The people in Tennessee have a
primitive fashion of settling ques
tions of proprietorship in movable
property, which differs somewhat
with the opinions held here as to
the "due process of law" Thus, we
learn that citizen of Blount coun-
ty, in that State, whose oxen had
been seized by the Sheriff came out
and shot them dead. The Sheriff,
however, was equal to the emergen-
gency, for he hauled them to town
and sold them for beef. Again the
Sheriff of Knoxville, Tennessee, lev
led on a mirror, which the spiteful
owner smashed to atoms with a
kick. This differs from the former
case, in that there was nothing
to be made by saving the pieces,
but all the parties were relieved from
the annoyance and delay of suit
of replevin, which might have cost
much more in the end.

act and authorizing free banking
with practical rcdemptions, by keep
ing deposits of United States notes
i'll the Treasury of the United States
equal to five per centum of their re-
spective circulation for the redemp-
ton, has already failed to secure the
entire sanction of the Committee on
Banking and Currency. to whom it
was referred. Although the bill has
many practical friends in the House
it will not be reported upon fayora
bly, by the Committee. In this con
nection it can be stated that on the
question of the proper method to-
ward making change in the nation
al banking laws the Committee on
Banking and Currency entertain di-
verse opinions, which will delay the
maturing of any bill from this COM
mittee upon which a majority of the
committee will be able to argue.

ARREST OF THE BENDER FAMILY.

The Bender family, charged with
q number of murders in Kansas, were
arrested in Bivigsville. Spartanburg
county, a few days ago. The father
and mother are in custody and the
son and daughter living in North
Carolina are being sought for. Their
family name is Webb. 1t is learned
that this man Thomas Webb is a
shoemaker by trade. He formerly liv
ed near Bivingsville, and moved
West about seventeen years ago
The name of Bender must have been
assumed by them when they moved
West, or when they commenced the
life of robbers and murderers, as the
old man and his wife moved back to
the county short time since and
settled in the neighborhood in which
they formerly lived without any sus
picion being remembered as attach
ing to the name of Webb, by the old
citizens who knew them many years

THE SPEECH OF ALEXANDER II
STEPHENS.

There was great curiosity iDI the
House, as the crowded galleries
Thursday showed to hear Alexander
H. Stephens on the salary bill. He
stood in his right place by the front
seat, to the Speakers right on the
main aisle. He had specially ar
rayed himself for the occasion in a
black dress suit, and this, with a
black velvet cap, gave to his white
face almost a corpse like appear
ance. He stood Throughout, lean
ing on a crutch, and spoke in a shril
voice. The entire house swarmed
close about him, and for half an
hour there was scarcely a movement
or sound on any side. There
were in the crowd men like Dawes,
Schofeld, and their associates, who
had labored here through the legisla
tion of the war, and others who had
worked in the confederate Congress
There were Garfield, Butler, and
many who fought for the flag, and
moIe than a score whs had march
ed under the Confederate banner,
and all crowded together about this
skeleton man, the second officer of
the confederacy. Everyone present
seemed to be running ovel the whole
history of the war, as it stood reflect
ed on the personages..gathered about
Stephens. 1t was not his speech SO
much as his relations and surround
ing that attracted the general atten-
ton.
Mr.. Stephens stands up for the
salary bill like true Southerner,
and gives it as his opinion that the
country would be better for q much
heavier plucking by its officers.
Somehow these Southerners come
into Congress and other public plac-
es with raging hunger. Itappears
that the country has got to make up
for their long years of privation.
Times are changed since the South
ern politicians fancied the South
paid most of the customs irevenue,
because it had no manufactures, and
in that delusion were economical in
the public expenditures. Now they
have found that the North pays
very much the greater part, and they
go for pluadering the government
because that is to plunder the
North.

Seven hundred Norwegians, with

one-half young married people, sail
the second week in January from
Gothenburg for the vicinage of Vine
land. New Jersey. The company are
equal if not superior to any from
Norway in composition,and their in
telligence is testified in the fact that
a newspaper will be issued while the

OHIO IN CONGRESS.

General Boynton writes from
Washington to the Cincinnati Ga
zette, concerning the position of
Ohio Representatives on the House
Committees. He refers to the po-
sition of Mr.. Parsons on the impor
tant Committee on Commerce, says
"Mr. Monroe, who, occupies an evil
able position among his associates,
is given craftsmanship in his sec
ond term, and one for which he is
eminently fitted'-Mr.M Monroe is al
SO one of the three members of the
Committee on Library-and of Gen
eral Garfield and Mr.. Foster he also
says:
Ohio has many important posi-
tions,perhaps the most important of
all is Garfield at the head of Appro-
priations. HIS responsibility in
this place is not exceeded by the
personal responsibility of any
other members of the House. If the
nation remains at peace. the reve-
nues are certain to fall far below the
expenditures now authorized. On
the other hand, the estimates are
eleven millions more than those sub
mitted last year, and thirteen mil
lions more than the appropriations.
One method, and the proper, and
therefore the proper one, by which
the difficulty can be remedied, lies
within the province of General Gar
fields committees, and that is by a
severe scrutiny of and rigorous econ
omy in the appropriations. If this
committee has not the courage to ap-
ply this remedy, then the problem
must be given to Mr.. Dawes and his
Committee of Ways and Means to
solve by an increase in tariff duties
and the restoration of internal tax
alton. There is no man in the
House who has it in his power to
serve the people SO acceptably as
General Garfield, by inisting that
the machinery of the Government
shall be run with the least possible
expense compatible with efficiency.
Ohio has also Foster on the Com
mittee of Ways and Means. As a
matter of rank on the committees of
the House, position on either APP
propriations or Ways and Means is
held to be equal to a craftsmanship.

THE DEMAND FOR EMPLOYMENT.

Government can bestow no boun-
ty on the citizens, save what it takes
from them by taxes. All taxes, no
matter how laid in the first instance
come at last on labor. Therefore
government can bestow no bounty
on laborers, save what it takes from
them. 1t is not the business of gov
ernment to furnish employment for
the citizens. They who demand it
are only heaping burdens on their
own backs. Government has no
right to enter into work save of
public necessity. Capital is always
seeking enterprises which furnish
labor; therefore labor has no claim
upon capital. One of the causes why
capital invested in industry has be-
come Improbable, and has been com
PEELED to curtail and suspend opera
tions,is that laborers have been COM
bined in making war upon it, and
have thereby raised the cost of pro-
duction, which has shortened con
sumption. Warfare on capital comes
back on the laborer. There has been
too much of this war upon the goose
of the golden eggs. 1t is one of the
causes of the present curtailment of
employment. -..H.I
