SALARY Stealerss

When d man commits peccadiliO that
every body denounces, even though there
may be no statutory punishment, he gener
ally tries to sneak around the opinion of mis-
censurers. Almost all of the back pay
stealers have tried to dodge the conse-
quences of their vote. Some few indeed,
said they had right to steal Some have
kept silent, hoping the affair would blow
over. But every one who has tested the
opinion of his constituents on the question,
has come to grief, and NO doubt all will
meet that fate in the end The latest is the
long bearded Farnsworth, who tried to
bribe the people of his district to forgive
him. And this is the account of the success
he had, as given in the last number of the
Republic:
Farnsworth, of Illinois, was one of the
leading spirits in the Liberal Reform move
ment. The people of his district concluded
that they had enough of his congressional
wisdom. for a time at least, SO they closed
his public record with the last session of
Congress As he was about to retire from
office he drew his share of the salary grab,
and. with a heart as heavy as his pocket
book, turned his face hemeward. Soon
after his arrival the ground swell Of public
Indignation reached him. The people were
down on the back pay business and all who
had taken a share Of the plunder. Here
was a chance tor the virtuOus Farnsworth.
He would stenounce the measure as one Of
the iniquities of the Republican party, and
at once proceed to put the money "where
it would do most good" So with flourish
Of trumpets ne placed himself on record,
and made equal division of his $4,000 among
~ Ia. Il, tr,a NJ h.
taxpayers would throw up their hats, cheer
the honest FaIpswOrth to the echo. pocket
the funds, and return him to Congress. But
they didn't do any such thing. They failed
to comprehend why they should take money
that it was wrong for him to accept. If he
had no right to it, they certainly had none.
Ii it was stolen property they would be re-
ceivers of stolen goods if they should take
it, SO several Of the counties refused to ac-
ceDt it from the benevolent ex-Congress
man. But McHenry county did take it,
and the gallant General congratulated him
self that the honest old farmers Of that
county, at least, could be depended upon
when he needed their help. Their indorse-
ment has come sooner tEan he expected.
1t must be melancholy satisfaction to him
to know that they have taken his money
and have now taken what little reputation
he had left. Poor fellow; he had better
kept his five thousand, or returned it to
Uncle Sam, 10 whom it belonged. This is
the way che honest farmers of McHenry
county treated his gilt at recent conyen.

New Orleans correspondent who furnishes
that sheet the following Cunor:
It is currently reported and believed by
many we'll informed parties that IoDgstreet
is now actively engaged in organizing an
expedition for q descent upon Cuba, and
that he is doing it with che knowledge and
cOuntenance, If not the actual assistance of
Grant. Tho acquisition of Cuba has always
been favorite hope, not oply with the
political leaders an Louisiana, but many
even Of The most prominent and veal hest
business men have indnlged it. When

gahized, of which very many such men
were mem bers, and subscribed literally.
They constituted the iunta or council
wherein were debated and decided all
matters pertaining not alone to the cOn-
duct of the campaign, but to the subsequent
policy to be adopted, provided the expedition
was successful. The expeditionary force was
recruited and organized under the direction
and control of this council. The officers
were appointed by it, and il was, IN all rec
spects, investe with supreme authority
These parties doubtless expected To reap a
rich reward in the event Ht -Ifccess. They
would have claimed all the offices OF ''trust

anticipated profitable return i'll kind upon
their outlay of capital. Similar aid was
afforded the ether expeditions which have
been proiectedo The members OF the Lcpez

times. There are plenty of bold Yankee

his judicious eye to location and taleut in
the real estate line, may find some eligible
spot there as well worth gobblemens as
