SALARIES.

The right Of person to sell his labor
at its highest value in the market will
not be disputed by any one. If an en-
ployer desires the service of another,
and they have an opportunity to make
contract, either expressly or by implica-
ton, we conceive that he should not
complain at the price he agrees to pay
for that service. In the matter of the
inceease of official salaries by the last
Congress, we have no fault to find with
the increase to the Judges or heads of
departments, so far as the recipients are
concerned, neither do we blame The
President particularly, except SO far as
We think his duty as the watch dog of
the Treasury, should have given him
some hesitation in approving an act that
was unjust to the people. The great
wrong in that act was in the parties,
who, in violation of an implied contract
to perform certain services for a certain
sum, reached into the treasury and took
lifty per cent. more than their legal pay
without the consent of the other con-
tracing party. The Congress of the
United States represent the people in
fixing the pay of other officers, but they
cannot represent the people in fixing
their own pay, a. no man is competent

Mrs Peyton shrank from him, order

He was first tried by commission of

he seems to be, could not know related

some minute details which are strictly
correct and generally known in the
neighborbood, and even reminded Mrs
Peyton of words spoked during her
courtship, which she supposed no one
knew nut her husband and herself. 1t
seems highly probable he will be able to
establish his identity, incredible as il
may appear.

court room, by turns looking at the
claimant to her bed and board, and cry

belief that the strange man is Willis

she cannot recognize one feature and ac-
knowledge him as her husband, but she

wife and children unless they voluntarily
recognize him.

intended to spend few days before go
