senator A1corm--.The Back sal.
AIRY Grab.

The pleasure We have enjoyed in an
nouncing that Senator Alcorn had re-
turned his part of the back-pay into the
Treasury voted by the members of Con-
gress, is short-lived. He has informed
the Friars Point Delta that he has not
disgorged, and does not intend to do so;
that he thinks the measure of increasing
the salary, right, and shall vote against
It's repeal and then in ''the form of a
thesis the Ex-Governor proceeds to give
his views on the subject, and to read
''the Southern press" lecture on the
idea that to them belongs the credit of
calling down public censure on the heads
of the parties engaged in this wretched
business. Now it 50 happens that :" the
" Southern press" deeply absorbed as
they are in the troubles brought upon
the Sothern States by Mongrel misrule,
has given this outside back salary
matter very little attention. The
agitation is principally in the North, nor
is it confined to the Democratic masses
AID the Democratic press. The news
papers loudest in condemnation of it are
the New York Times, N Y Albany
Journal and other Administration or
gans; and none seized with more evident
satisfaction the report that the Missis-
sippi Senator had refused to touch the
unclean thing than those journals. And
by nearly unanimous vote, the Republi-
can Convention of Ohio, has denounced the
measure and inaugurated the agitation
for its repeal. Not venturing to en-
counter the opposition of his constitu-
ents, Senator John Sherman, of that
State, has refused to draw the portion
allotted to him, and has made haste to
avert the wrath of the people by writing
the following disclaimer. He is lead
ing Republican and occupies the respon-
sible post of chairman of the Finance
Committee of the Senate. When Mr..
Alcorn reads this letter and listens to the
popular voice of which it is the echo, he
will cease to delude himself with the idea
that it is 'the Southern press" that is re-
sponsible for the clamOr which is vexing
the ears of the Back-Pay Grabbers:
