Az Act er Public Ipdeeency.

On Saturday last ct Rockville
Mr.. George w. Julian had the eff
frontery to characterize the salary
of last Cong1 ess as an act of steal
ing. Let us see with what decency
and propriety We can make such .
charge. ~ -
Mr.. Julian as q member of the
39th Congress received four thou
sand dollars of what is now styled
back pay and has kept it ever since.
The increase of pay for that Con
gress took place in July, 1866, and
was applied to the members of
Congress making the increase. 1t
amounts to four thousand dollars
of ssback pay to each Senator and
member, and they did not refund
their mileage as the members of the
last Congress did. The averagemile
age from Indiana at that time was
about, twelve hundred dollars for
Congress. Mr.. Julian therefore re-
ceived four thousand dollars 'sback
pay" and kept his mileage. making
an extra compensation over and
| above the salary of which he, was
elected of five thousand two hun
! dred dollars. This does very well
for reform. Will the Sentinel
and other admiring papers of Mr..
Julian publish this little ite,ns s.
| It may be as well also to state
that Thomas A. Hendricks and
Henry S. Lane we're the Senators
from Indiana at that time; that W.
| E. Niblack, Michael G. Kerr, John
| Fl. Farquhar, George W. Julian,
James Hill. Ebenezer Dumont,
| Schuyler Colfax, Thomas n. Still
well, Henry D. Washburne, Joseph
| 4. Defrees and Godloye S. Orth,
were the members Of the House
from Indiana; and every one Of them
SENATORS and Members--an took
the four thousand dollars .'back
pay" and kept the twelve hundred
dollars of mileage besides. This
occurred just after the close of the
war, when our money matters were
far worse than now. The franking
privilege, mileage, stationery, and
all other perquisites were retained
| by the members of that Congress,
and they were all abolished by the
laws Of last winter.
i We would suggest that somebody
besides the members of the 36th
Congress should be sent out to
humbug the people on the salary
question. In the meantime, if 'sback
pay" is wrong let Mr. Julian and
others be prayerfully engaged in
counting the interest at six per cent
per annum on what they received
seven years ago. Principal and in
terest should be paid back together
/ If at all. 4.
4 To the above we add, that we

A tribute to President Grant from
o high source -Harper's Weekly:

- -,,Ge.'~~-s~S =
Among all Amsrican Presidents
there has been none more .scrupulouslv
loyal to law than Ge6eral Grant. And
never was that fidelity more desirable
than during Presidency Immediately
{ following war, which always dimini-
shes the .sanctity Of civil authority.
Usurpations and dispensations with
the law might have been expected
from a military President, and at a
time when an sabaoYmxl situation
would have seemed to justify them.
But General Grant has shown no such
Disposition He has not only not as
ssumed extraordi1asy powers, but he
has sought to avoid even the opportu-
nifty Of exercising lawful authority. as
in the case Of emergencies in the
Southern States. If there has been
fault it is not his, but the LAWS.
Among the great services which Cen
eral Grant has rendered to the coun-
try, not the least is the TRANQUIL and
modest firmness with which he nd
maintained the authority of Law.

The Jefferson Iowa) Bee pays
this deserved tribute to the Rebub
ican party:
We have yet to learn the lesson
that the Republican party has been,
or is now, untrue to the best inter
ests of the people. Upon the great
question arising out Of the monopo.
lies and their encroachments tha
party has taken decided stant..
and we all know that a line ofpolicy
pledged is the line it has pursued
in the past. It is right, all other
public questions having been set
tied, that these matters be made the
basis for political action. by or
ganized parties. Upon this issue,
as upon all kindred ones where
wrong and oppression are waged
against justice and liberty, it is
proper that the Republican party,
always brave, wise, efficient, and
victorious, should take the stand
that it has-on the side of the peo-
pie. '

About playing cards the Chris
tian Union, Beecher's paper, has
something to say worth repeating:
Cards are no more sinful in their
nature than jackstraws. Under some
circumstances we should reprobate
card playing as leading to waste Of
time, to association with bad men
and always when one plays for
stakes On the other hand no one
should Judge the conscience Of those
who never gamble, who play at
home, who have been brought up
to regard the game as q lawful
amusement. whose reason does not
condemn it. Paul's formula is eni.
nently applicable here: LET not
him that eateth despise him that
eateth not, and let not him which
esteth not, judge him that eateth. ;

fends the practice, and says:
Parties in this country cannot be

done, is done now, and always will
be done, and there is nothing in it
unfair, wrong, corrupt or demoral
izing. All the civil service rules in

clerks in the public offices will not
