Bryan, the defaulting Democratic
Treasurer of Jackson County, arrest
ed for : $4,000 defalcation has been
released upon 81 900 bail. The Dem
ocratic Board of Supervisors compro-
missed with his bondsmen upon an
agreement to pay the county three
fourtheof the amount stolen, but
they were to have number of years
in which to make payment, and
mean1lpe pay only six per cent. in
terest on the amount. Some of the
bonds1aen have already bolted the
compe miee, and the whole affair is
again Unsettled. The county holds
the body of the Treasurer and 81 ,0OC
security for the $4,000. 1t is report.
ed that the original bondsmen have
quietly disposessed themselves .o
their property.

Congress is still wasting time and
public money by skirmisEing with
the salary question. They ought to
have repealed the present law
more than week ago. Let us
have the ayes and noes on the uneon.
ditionaI repeal at once, and fix up
new law at leisure, if it can't be
reached in any other way without
SO much stumbling and cowardly pa

The concluding portioTsaf Sena,or
Wright's late speech upon the salary
bill is thus sum married.:
. He said that what the country
wants is men who are not for sale
men who are sound from center %
circumference, who have .cou-ese
without whistiing to bring It., who
eat what they have earned and wear
what they have paid for. With such
men high or low salaries made H.tlt.
difference. He favored liber..
compensation, bat thought that al
lowed before the increase WAS suih-
cient. and e was best now to Ax the
salaries as they were befOrc. 40 re-
trace their steps at the earliest practi-
cable moment was the easiest way to
rectify an objectionable blunder.
He denounced the manner by which
the salaries were increased as most
vicious and defenseless-tacked on to
an appropriation bill where the Ex-
ecutive could not veto 1t without
stopping the wheels Of the govern
ment. He had no doubt that this
was the cause of the recommendation
of the President In his late message
that he be allowed at the close OF the
session to v4tasone portion OF a bill
without defeating the whole Of 1t.
In conclusion, he called upon the
great Republicans party TO retrace its
steps on the sala-y bilf, and satisfy
the people that the party was true to
its promise. No party In 80 few
years had made such gfand record,
and it could well and consistently ar
ford to retrace its steps. He desired
that the avenues Of trade be opened
by giving cheaper transportation to
the products of the great West, and
the people should have an abundance.
Of currency to meet the demands Of
BUSINESS.

The Illinois manufacturers OF Ag-
ricultural implements, in convention
at Chicago resolved that they would
not sell to Farmers Clubs or Gran
ges at other than retail prices.
Thereupon the Illinois and Iowa
State Oranges justly resolved to dis
courage the purchasing Of the wares
of said manufacturers by members Of
the Order. Our guess IL that the
monopoIists will recall their hasty
resolution within year.

Congress has given large share
of it's time since the opening to the
discussion of bills to repeal the ob.
noxious salary law and fix some new
basis. The House Committee re-
ported bill which was generally
discussed and recommitted on the
18th, with instructions offered by
Mr.. Orth, who said he had offered
his proposition of last evening as a
compromise, because it was apparent
that without compromise the
House would never come to con-
clusion. He thought four PROPOSE
tons had been definitely settled by
public opinion, which had been pro-
vided for in his proposition.
First, That the law of last Con-
gress should be repealed.
Second, That mileage shall nevr
again be restored.
Third That the franking privilege,
50 far as it relates to the personal
privilege of the members Of Con.
gress, shall never be restored, what
ever else may be done in regard tc
distributing public documents, and,
Fourth, That the salaries Of the
members of Congress shall be sub
stantially what they were under tbs
old law.

In view of the fact that the expen-
ditures of the Government have for
the past two months exceeded the
receipts, the Secretary of the Treas
ury recommends a renewed of the
duty ON tea and coffee, which will
yield about s2O,OOO,OOO revenue.
When this duty was removed, the
foreign2 2export duty was increased,
SO thai we had to pay as much for
these 3rticles as before; and the
Government lost just that amount.
The tax will probably be increased
upon tobacco, gas, gross receipts of
railroads, on insurance companies
and telegraph receipts, which, with
the tea and coffee duties, will aggre-
gate an increase of revenue to the
amount of about $40, 600, 900.

hind the Grange. 1t is known by
smell if not by sight. Let the Demo
crat misquote, falsify and insinuate as
much as much as it pleases in refer
ence to our expressions in the above
article. We meant just what we said,
and have seen no occasion to recall
one word of it. Our neighbor is vel
come to make the best use he can of

Grange may yet command us for any
reasonable service, but its political bar

The party which foisted upon the
people of this county such fraud up
on humanity and decency as our pres
ent Senator and still sustains and up
holds him, is the same party which
last fall placed the Grange in the ri
diculous position of endorsing snd re-
.S!ecting to the Legislature notorious
mileage grabber, and erecting a man
as Superintendent Of Schools who
we'll who is no credit to the Grange or

has degenerated into bitter perso.
nal quarrel. This, it is feared bodies
no good to the College; but it may
result in bringing out whatever may
have been wrong or illegal in the
management of the institution or its
funds. No fair reason has yet been
shown for the dismissal of the
headless ones" AS 1t appears to
us, the "ins" have chosen personal
discussion in order to avoid the main
issue-the illegal use of funds. A
full investigation and fair showing
by the Legislature, is, we hope, now
assured; and so much, If 1t COMES,
will be gratifying to the public, who
will regret mainly the disgrace
brought upon an institution which
should be made power of great USE

The Republicans Of the Senate, in
electing Senator Carpenter Of Wis
consin, as President pro tenn, to serve
during the temporary absence Of the
Vice President, have laid themselves
open to the same charge as that made
against the Democratic members OF
the House in voting for Wood for
Speaker. Except Butler and Wood
there was perhaps no man in either
house more eensurrble than Carpen-
ter for his course upon the salary
question. His election was n small
matter, except for the seeming en-
dorsement Of his views upon that
question, which had nothing to do
with the enoice, unless the Republi-
cans placed him in the chair in order
to prevent his voting against the re-
peal. This Is the only reason we can
find for their choice. If this was the
object, 1t was commendable.

reporter of that paper a few days

given to "the assistance Of cotton
