THE BACK PAY.-It is not matter of surprise
that public Indignation is being expressed in
the legislative bodies Of the country in respect
TO the retroactive part of the bill increasing
the salaries Of members of Congress- Follow
ing the lead of Ohio, whose legislature adopted
resolutions condemnng it, the Illinois house,
by vote Of lC3 to A. have passed resolutions
condennatory of the part the members ofCon-
gress from that State had in the matter. Both
houses of the Michigan legislature have signi-
fed their dsapprovnl, and similar resolutions
have been passed by the New York Senate.
and in the house the resolutions were referred
TO the committee on federal relations, who have
not yet reported Other States will no doubt
take action in the matter and woe 10 the man,
politically, who stretches his hand to take and
pocket S., 900 Of unearned money. The grab
was too heavy, and it is no wonder the people
are expressing their indignation through their
respective legislatures. In two or three in
stances the President has been censured, not
by vote, but by the members for not vetoing
the bill. The increase in his salary is not re-
iroactve but dates from the commencement of
the present term, whereas that of the members
dates back to the commencement OF the session
Of Congress. 1t is the taking Of money that
was never earned Of which the people com
plain they have rendered no service for this
extra pay and ought not TO receive it. With
the officers of the Government and the Judges
of the Supreme Court, the case is different
their salaries have simply been increased. The
idea however, advanced by some that the
President ought TO have vetoed the bill will
provoke smile. The man who has taken
every present ever rendered him from bull
pup to a brown stoue-house is not the man TO
veto bill that puts S25, 900 additional for
four years, into his pocket, if be be willing to
stop atthat. # he did the millennium would

RESIGNED. -Senator Caldwell, of Kansas,
has saved his friends any further trouble about
investigating the charges of bribery and cor
ruption preferred against him, by promptly
resigning his seat. He was long time in
bringing his mind to that conclusion, but MS
the evidence against him began TO thicken, and
the chances for his expulsion seemed certain,
the distinguished gentleman left the scene of his
lahors, and curiously enough the Governor of
Kansas happened in Washington to receive
and acknowledge his resignation. "Alas, poor

towering couture. Flat and rolled brims are
both imported it is probable that fat hrims
will be fashionable as rolled coronets have
been worn for several seasons. There are also
many half-and-half brims that have rolled
fronts and recede in the back Most of the
new shapes may be used either as a round hat
or honneti pair of strings tied under the

WONDERFUL REGENERATION. 1t has already
been announced that by first of September next
the French Government will have paid the
last installment of two thousand millions of
dollars levied as indemnity by Germany, at
the close of their la!e war, and this within the
short space of thirty-one months. 1t is the
most wonderful thing on record and has no
parallel in history and shows the recuperative
power of the French people, and proves that
France will not soon be blotted from the map
of nations. The debt of the United States is
not diminishing so rapidly. We guess there
has not been as much stealing in France.

York. of Kansas, irsiifirs.

| l0paclAl diSiatcn 10 the n. i. lines.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Pcmeroy
| bribery investigation was begun at ) O'Clock
| this afternoon, and two witnesses were exam
ined. Nothing really new was developed.
| York told again his story, which has beer
published already. He was subjected to a
brief but very pointed cross-exanination by
Judge Horton, the counsel for Mr.. Pomeroy.
Hon. Caleb Gushing also appeared for Mr..
Pomeroy; but, the committee having de-
cided 10 admit only one counsel on each
side, Mr.. Cushing simply remained by Judge
Horizons side TO assist him by way of sug-
gestions. The cross-examination was con-
Quoted with great ability, and laid the
ground for strong defense, which, how
ever, was only partially defeioped. A Mr..
Simpson announced himself with some pomp
as counsel for the State OF Kansas. York
admitted that his statement before the Joint
Committee WAS full Of exaggerated state
ments, and he would not now swear AZ he
did publicly, at the end Of the
speech, to, i;s truth in every par
ticuIar. Several of i,s specific statements
were disproved, as ior instance his story of
having been searched just before entering
Mr.. Pomeroy's room, and having exhibited
the s., 900 Immediately on coming out.
W. A. johnson, who was one of those in
the scheme, was examined, but his evidence
was valueIess. and it was clearly demon
s,ra:ed that Works testimony would be the
only direct evidence that the money he
showed in joint convention came from Sena-
tor Pomercy. Some questions which were
asked him lead to the suggestion that the
conversation between York and the Senator
AT the time he alleges the $1,000 was given
to him, was overheard, and that the nearer
will be produced in the defense. But York's
story vas very explicit and detailed, in some
parts quite plausible. and in Others on the
face absurd. York makes an unfavorable
impression, and he is estimated at a pretty
mean price, even Ny the worst enemies OF
Mr. Pomeroy. His connection with this
affair, as well "a his alleged blackmailine of
Pomeroy last winter, has excited great deal
OF curiosity to see him. Thus far fwenty-one
witnesses have b.en summoned in the inves-
tisaiion.
The Leavenworth weekly times. [volume] (Leavenworth, Kan.) 1870-1880, 1873-02-27

We have no desire to refuse Senator Pom.
erey any benefit he can possibly gain from 9
full hearing of his case, but we trust that the
timid and hesi;aiing recommendations of the
committee On Caldxell's election will not be
initiated in the report upon the alleged
transaction between Pomeroy and York. Il
that Transaction turns ont to be the deliberate
piece of bribery which York and his friends
represent it to have been. let the Senate
Committee make up its mind to say SO, with
out any attempt OF apolosizing for or soften
ing the ofiense. Party considerations are
wretchedly out OF place in dealing with
cases like these. An offense such "a have
been proved against Caldwell, and ia charged
against Pomeroy, il a crime against the SOW
ereignty of the people, and against the sta
biiiiy of our institutions-a species of ag-
grava,ed treason that should be stamped with
"a indellible stain as the representatives of
the people can attach 10 it. The highest
considerations of party fidelity coincide, in
such matters, with the highest claims of pub
lie duty. No party can continue TO receive
or deserve the confidence of the people,
which does not disavow all sympathy with
legislative bargain and sale on the part of its
me,nbers.-Ner York Times.
