CONGRESSMAN SMITH ELY, JR.'s BACK PAY.

Congressman Smith Ely, Jr., of New York, has
written the following letter in reply to the charge
OF inconsistency in refusing his salary as Super.
visor, which accrued during his absence in Europe
and afterwards accepting, under more questionable
circumstances, his extra salary as Congressman -
declined to accept the salary as Supervisor
which had accumulated during my absence simply
because, as informed the Comptroller, | thought
1t improper to take payment from the public
treasury Tor services had not rendered.
1t regard to the Congressional back pay, which
has been so much discussed, 1t Is generally known
that In common with the large majority OF my col
leagues from this State of both parties,
/ earnestly opposed the passage or the
BILL But when IL became, as / supposed,
the permanent law OF the land, I deemed
It not improper for members OF Congress to accept
the compensation rendered to them by tue govern.
ment OF the United States and to dispose OF 1t as
they pleased. | regretted TO hold an opinion Dir.
lering so widely from that entertained by the ma
jority OF the community, but 1t was and Is my
opinion.
But fully recognize the right OF the State Con.
vention OF the democratic party 10 pass Judgment
upon the official conduct OF its representatives,
and the resolutions unanimously adopted al Utica
last week were emphatic and unmlstakaDe.
therefore avaied myself OF so good reason Iot
relieving myself from a questionable matter, ana
returned the extra compensation given me as Q

States SMITH ELY, Jr.

GEN. SCHoFIEIp's announcement that some
OF the Modocs have undoubtedly escaped into
the Pitt River country, and thas there are
threatening evidences of further Indian out
breakes in Oregon, does not furnish pleas
ant prospect for the Pacific slope. So long as
the Aodocs remained insola.ed in the lava
beds there was little danger that the other
tribes would be drawn into this unfortunate
affair, but if the emissares are abroad stirring
up the Indians generally to hostjlitits, it is i'm
possible to say what proportions the war
will assume. The Government is doubtless
doing all IT can TO bring the murderers ofGen.
Candy TO justice and to restore peace, but at
this distance it seems that the officers upon
the ground have not displayed either the vigor
or skill required by the emergency. new

The Illinois farmers seem to be in earnest
about putting down monOpolies, but they have
u hard job on hand. The railroads really
control, aud in many districts elect, delegates
to our Legislatures, aud any amount of money
to effect IL is at easy command. A small ad-
dilion to tariff rates furnishes all that Is need
ed. The people have built most of the roads
in our country, ceYtainly in the West, at a
cost of $4,000 TO $4,000 mile either by in
dlvidual subscriptions, land mortgages, mu-
nicipal or legislative appropriations, and
should own the ruadss but these claims ARE all
wiped out by mortgages, probably made for
that purpose. The reads are watered up by
stock dividends, or by district issue OF stock to
favored parties, ut Il cost of $4,000 or $40 ,00(
per mile, and the people are made to pay tar.
iff-rates to make up dividends on this inflated
stock We can see now our railroad manag
