The following sensible view of in
creased salary vote is taken from the
Daily Graphic:
1t is easy to hurl obnoxious epithets
at-the Congressman who voted for
back pay. 1t was not q veay hand
some thing to do; in fact, it is just
one of those things the papers love 10
expend their superfuous virtue in
denounciag, as a red rag viii excite
the irate pugilism of a turkey-eocl.
But the pay Of Congressman has been
too small for dozen years. The
sessions ha2 been long, trying, and
not particularly honorable. Most of
the members were going home poorer
in purse and reputation than when
they went, and through no particular
fault of their own. Too honorable to
pick up the rich plums the lobby al
wayshas to offer, they had the courage
to vote themselves the pay they were
honestly entitled to, and they did it
openly and in man-fashion. This was
thousand times better for the country
and more honorable on the part of
the members themselves than the
Credit Mobilier speculations and other
tricks to which some Of our Christian
statesmen resorted to exc out their
inadequate pay and enable them to
live up to the Washington standard
ofofiicial responsibility. To condemn
them for voting themselves the pay
they were fairly entitled to is to
punish q mere breach of congressional
etiquette as though it were crime,
and this the country will be slow to
do. The members who did not con-
slider themselves justly entitled to the
back pay and voted against it, should
have been honorable enough to refuse
it; bnt the honorable gentlemen who
look upon the back pay as stealing"
from the Government, and yet have
drawn the money and bestowed it up
on objects of local interest or charity,
have ideas af justice far more elastic
than ineligible. Giving to Jones
what was stolen from Smith evinces
far more kindness than integrity, and
indicates a confusion Of moral ideas
that is anything but creditablc. s4

At last the public are informed that
the mystery relative to the murder OF
Goodrich in Brooklyn o few nights
since has been solved. The police of
that city, soon after the murder, az
rested woman named Lucette Myers,
and she made a confession exposing
her own sins, the villainy Of Goodrich,
and the name Of his murderer. 1t
appears that she had been the mis-
tress of q Spaniard named Roscoe,
and leaving him for the society of
Goodrich, the Spaniard became en-
ragged, and took revenge on her par
amour by shooting him. He then
robbed the dead man Of his watch and
.pocket-book and absconded. the
women Myers, not wishing to become
implicated in the transaction, washed
away the traces Of blood, and left the
murdered man as he was found.

A serious accident occurred on the
ReIsallear & Saratoga r. r. one and
one half miles south of Shoshone Sta
ton, on the night of Saturday, the
29th ult., caused by the action Of the
water in undermining the track.
The locomotive went off on the right
hand side of the track and down an
embankment some 60 feet high, in
stantiy killing the engineer named
Fred. Downs, and the fireman named
Manahan, two other persons who
were also upon the engine escaped
without serious injury. The cars left
the track upon the left side where the
embankmet was but q few feet in
height and though several passengers
were bruised none it is thought were
fatally injured. The cars were badly
wrecked.

ORLEANS COUNTY,

Our vicinity is in fair way to be-
come noted in furnishing the princi-
pal actors in New York tragedies.
Here is another, the account Of which
we take from an exchangei "On
Monday Of last week, at Syracuse, N.
Y, q man by the name of Albert
keeler, aged p, killed young girl
named Ida Spencer, aged IA. Keeler
was cousin Of Miss Spencer's. He
is Canadian and had been visiting
the Spencers about three weeks.
Mrs. Spencer went to Oswego and left
her daughter with two old ladies, one
of whom was sick and the other deaf.
keeler went out into the kitchen
where Ida was at work, and taking a
short iron bar used for breaking open
boxes, felled her to the floor then re-
peatedly striking her on the head,
beating her brains out She lived
about twenty minutes. Keller then
left the house and ran down toward
the n. Y. Central Railroad station.
A train had just started for the east.
Keller attempted to jump on the hind
end of the caboose for the purpose Of
escaping, when missing his hold he
fell back upon the track. His head
struck the rail and his neck was bro
ken and was instantly killed. The
motive which prompted Keller to kill
Miss Spencer IS not known. 1t is
thought he might have made improp-
er advances to her, which she repell-
ed, and that he killed her fearing that
she might divulge. 1t is also said
that Keller was heir to some property,
which, with Miss Spencer out of the
way, might be secured. The parties
moved in good society" During the
past winter Keller has been employed
in the foundry at North Troy, and
left there but short time since. A
friend at North Troy sending us an
account of the affair very properly
observes that " here we have another
act Of etributive justice by the decree
of the Almighty, as all example before
the eyes OF the New York Judiciary
Express d Standard.

Notwithstanding the warnings of

entire body being a mass of con-

A young man named Frank Hahn
was robbed and murdered in Wash
ington city on the night of March
28th. His skull was crushed by q
blow with a billy, and his face so

was no doubt robbery.

An Appalling Ocean Disaster
NElRIYSIY IITTS LOST
Wreck of Steamer Atlantic.
All the Women and Children Perish
HEARTRENDING SCENES,

The most terrible steamship disas-
ter which has occurred for a long
time, took place Tuesday morning,
about twenty miles west of Halifax.
by which the fine steamer Atlantic, Of
the White Star Line, and SIG lives
were lost.
The Atlantic, Capt. Williams, left
Liverpool on March 20, with large
cargo and 600 passengers. She touch
ed at Queenstown on the following
day, where she took on coal, freight
and 400 more passengers. Every.
thing worked favorably, and the Off
GERS expected to reach New York on
Monday.
On Saturday night the vessels coal
gave out, and Captain Williams con.
Guided TO run into Halifax for coal
and also for safety.
About two o'clock, while the Allan
tic was laboring about twenty miles
outside of Halifax, during hurricane,
it raining heavily, she struck Mea-
gher's Head, a dangerous rock on
Cape Prospect. The wind at the
time was blowing toward the rock,
and at every lurch it threw her with
great force on the ledge. 1t was an
impossiblity to get her off.
The crashing of the hull, combined
with the bowling wind and roaring
waters, created q most painful panic.
Of-the 1000 people aboard at least
two-thirds were women and children.
The excited passengers ran wildly
about. The men lost all presence of
mind, and only thought of themselves.
Meanwhile the officers acted with
commenG1ble courage. Everything
that human ingenuity or exertion could
DO was done to save the vessel. 1t
soon became apparent that she could
not be saved. The wind increasing
in violence, it was impossible to
launch life boats. The 4j4 people
who escaped got off upon the rocks.
Others in attempting to do SO were
swept away and drowned.
The scene beggarded all description.
In the midst Of the driving rain the
poor wretches chung to the rocks and
the vessel, but were swept away by
tens and scores at 4 time. The shriekS
of the uncertainties were appalling in
the extreme. Husbands and wives,
parents and children met death TO-
gether.
Finally succor came for the sur
vivers on the rock, in the shape of a
Cunard vessel and another steamer,
who took 454 on board and landed
them safely at Halifax.
Altogether about $50 were saved,
including Captain Williams, the
fourth officer, Mr.. Brown, the doctor,
and several Of the englneers and
sailors. Not single woman or child
was saved. Moet of them, as we'll as
hundreds of the men, were drowned
in their berths.
The people aboard were nearly all
emigrants, seeking their homes in
America. The most Of them were
poor people.
