OBJECTIONABLE (yHARrTY II,

A QUESTIONABLE CHARITY Hon
Erastus Wells, Of this city, is a man OF
most generous impulses. and no doubt in
his actions, is controlled by the best, OF
motives, but we question very much the
wisdom Of his reccLt course in drawing
the back pay, allowed by act of Congress
and giving it to charitable institutions in
this city. 1t sounds nicely. we admit, to
say that Mr.. Wells gives between four
and five thousand dollars to the orphans
dividing it equally between the Protestan,
and Catholic asylums, but whose money
is it that he so generously donates ? II
the law giving this increased pay to Con
gressmen was wrong, and if 1t was NOR.
ally wrong for Mr.. Wells to draw this
money for his own benefit, then it wa,
equally wrong for him to draw it for the
benefit Of any one else. If it did no,
belong to Mr.. Wells, then it belonged
to the United States Treasury. and the
Honorable Congressman had no right tc
draw it out. The course of Mr.. Wells
in Congress, and his expressions. since
the passage of the act, clearly show thai
he believes the taking of this money ou
Of the Treasury, by authority of the bill
which passed Congress. q little better
than robbery. His action. therefore, il
receiving this money. and in distributing
it among his constituents, seems some
what inconsistent with the high mora
ground he assumed while the act was be
fore Congress. There is an old adag,

it therefore Congress steals from tn

In the Canadian Parliament Sir John
A. Macdonald has sui mitted new cleo
ton law, which provides that elections
shall be held in all parts of the Dominion
on the came day, an innovation on the
established practice there. 1t also de
6nes the qualifications Of voters. Iu
cities a person to vote, according to this
law, must either hold S400 in real estate,
or pay $50 per annum rent, or be q resi-.
dent with $400 income. In towns the
property qualification is either $500 in
real estate, $50 IN rental, or an income Of
$40O. Outside Of cities and towns, to
vote in county man must own farm
worth 5000, or else be q tenant on five
years lease at an annual rental of not less
than $40, or hold homestead permit, OF
have an income of S4O0. The provisions
against fraudulent voting are carefully
drawn. A revising officer is to prepare
the voters's lists, which are to be open to
public examination. Objections to any
Of the names are to be sent to Superior
Court, atts examination, for a 6nal deci
zion. The old penalty for fraudulent prao
tices is maintained, and 6ne of 5000 i.
imposed for treating voter for electioneer
Ing purposes. All expense Of election
must be paid by means Of agents, who
shall be bound to hand in to the return

candidates expenses, failing in which
they will be liable to q fine Of $50 fol
