The Salary Repeal Question.
[rrom the LouisvilIe couiier-Journal. :.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The long
expected salary bill was reported to-
day by Mr.. Hale. of Maine, from the
House special committee. and, Of
course, created the liveliest interest
all over the House The bill repeals
the salary provision in the appropri-
alton bill of March, 1873, so far, as
relates to Senators, members and
delegates, but leaves the Presidents
salary fixed at $4,000 per annum.
The effect Of this bill is TO pay the
members hereafter at the old rates,
and to leave the mileage inequality
unredressed. There is no retro-act.
i've provision in the bill.
For this bill, substitute was re.
ported by Messrs. KAISER, of Iowa.
and Jewett, of Ohio. which repeals
all the acts of 1878 relating to Con-
gressmen; also, all giving an in
crease to clerk and employees, and
fixes the Presidents salary after the
present term at $4,000 per annum.
The bill is also retroactive, and says
that each member is to have deduct
ed from the future payments to be
made him at the rate Of $1,000 per
annum all sums received by him dur
ing this Congress in excess of that
sum. The effect of this large reduc-
tion upon members who have drawn
their salary at the rate of $500 per
annum for nine months and spent it
can readily be imagined.

THE CUBAN INBROGLTO.

The Cuban-Virginius matter is be-
coming more and more complicated.
Late dispatches indicate the matter
as far from being settled. The
bloody minded Cubans seem bent on
self-destruction by forcing a war
with the Government, if a refusal to
give mp the Virginius will produce
it. A Washington dispatch of the
9Th says:
The diplomatic branch of our Gov
ernment is not so hopeful now as it
was several days agJ of the ability
of Spain to carry out its order. A
suggestion of modification of the pro-
tocol, that the Virginius may be de
livered to third party to await adj
judicatien, does not at present meet
with any official favor.
A later dispatch says that Mr..
Fish has officially refused to comply
with the Spanish Cabinets request
that the Virginius be delivered to a
neutral power.
And yet another dispatch has it
that the proposition for the change
of the protocol in the delivery of the
Virginius to a neutral power, did
not come through Spain to our Gov
ernment, but was merely an unoffi-
cial suggestion from the Cuban of
ficials to Admiral Polo. as measure
in the interest of quietude on the
Island.
In the mean time the Government
is making vigorous war preparations,
by removing war munitions from va
rions inland depots to the sea coast,
and by rapid renovation and recruit
ing in the naval department.

UuiUerSdl amnesty.
tFrom the Louisville courier-Journall

WASHINGTON. Dec. 8.-Under the
somewhat unexpected lead of Mr..
Maynard, of Tennessee, the House
by an Overwhelming vote. passed
bill to repeal the test or ironclad oath
of 1862, and to remove all remaining
political disabilities imposed by the
Fourteenth Amendment to the Con-
stitution. 1t is generally belle yed
that the measure will pass the
Senate. Very few individuals are
still under disabilities. probably n t
two hundred. all told, the last gener-
al bill passed by Congress some
years ago having relieved about one
hundred and fifty thousand persons.
1t is reported on good authority
that prominent members of the Ad-
ministration have said that in. the
event of a foreign war commands
would be offered to the leading milf
tary men of the South. and it is ap-
parant that the day has come when
Southern statesmen, who are ready
to act on the basis of the Union as
a finality. will find fair reception
i'm the public connsels.

Wednesday, December II, 1878.

Col. JNo. NJ. FLEMING The many
friends of Col, Jno. NJ. Fleming will
rejoice at the complete vindication
he has sustained at the hands of the
Supreme Court in its decision, on
the 9th instant. in the case o. Brooks
vs.. Fleming The facts in the case
are briefly these: In 1868. Brooks
filed his bill in Chancery at Knox
vile to dissolve the law partnership
of Fleming & Brooks. and obtained
an injunction restraining Fleming
from collecting any fees due the
firm. About four years afterward.
Brooks presented his affidavit, charg-
ing Fleming with contempt of court,
in violating the injunction by collect
ing two partnership fees, one from
John j. West, and one from Hugh
Martin, of Kingston, and moved that
he be committed or otherwise pun
ished therefor. At the same time he
entered a motion to strike the name
of Col. Fleming from the roll of So
licitors of the court for the alleged
offence of perjury, charged to have
been comitted in his answer to his
original bill. An answer was filed
and both motions heard together.
After hearing a mass Of testimony
and elaborate arguments, the Chan
cellor adjudged the respondent not
guilty of the perjury and denied the
motion to strike his name from the
roll of solicitors from his court; but
being Of opinion that lie had violat-
ed the injunction and was in con-
tempt, fined him fifty dollars there
for. Respondent Fleming prayed
an appeal. which was granted, and
subsequently the relator Brooks took
a writ of error to the judgment oe
the Chancellor in refusing to strike
Col. Fleming from the roll Of soli-
citors.
Both cases were heard in the Su-
preme court. and on the 9th Judge
Turney delivered the opinion of the
court, holding
1. That an appeal would lie from
the order of a Chancellor adiud0ino
q party to be in contempt, and pun
isLing him therefor, when such con-
tempt is not 'in the face of the
Court
2. That in this case. Fleming was
was not guilty Of the contempt
charged
8. That a relator or person seek
ing to disbar an attorney. has no
right to an appeal, or writ of error,
from a decree denying his motion.
As a consequence. the Court had
no jurisdiction over the motion to
disbar
Col. Fleming has been the object
of more malicious attacks and out
rageous prosecutions. Qrom men of
all grades of social standing), than
any man of his age now living, but
when investigation is had he has
come through all their malignings
victorious and unscathed. This last
vindication has left his assailants in
an unenviable position in public es-
tins tion, and is the more satisfac-
tory and pleasant to his many friends
throughout the State.

a hundred years ago, by a rich old
Indian by the name of Jim Van, who
is said to have kept public enter

days. The house now looks newer
and more substantial than many of
the brick buildings put up since the
war. The rooms are made in the
shape of a coffin; and it is said that
many a white man had his neck

The board of directors of the Louis
vile, Cincinnati and Lexington Short
line Railroad convened yesterday In
this city and acted upon the resigna-
ton OF Gen. John Echols, who has been
for some time the president of the CON-
psuy. The evident regret with which
this resignation was received by the
board was itself a high and deserved
compliment to the retiring president.
Gen. Echols was called to the duties of
the office at a time when the prospects
of the company were most unpromislng,
and he resigns his trust at time when
they arr brighter than ever before. he
has In a short time overcome obstacles
which few men could have conquered,
and the success which has attended his
efforts mark him as a man OF great
foresight and unquestioned ability;
Aided by Mr.. Skinner, q capable and
energetic superintendent, and by Gen.
st. John, a skillful engineer, be has
eft the road in condition which few
of its most sauguine friends could have
anticipated. And it is by no means
strange that the directors should accept
his resignation with reluctance and sor,
row. Among the resolutions adopted
WAS tho following.
Rssolvsd, That the Board accepts the
resignation Of General John Echols,
President OF this company, and thus
sewers it's official connection with him
with great reluctance and sincere re-
gret; and desires to place on record lts
appreciation OF his efficient services, Its
admiration for his high qualities as an
offer and q gentleman, and its warmest
wishes for his future prosperity and
success.
The regret here expressed is not only
shared by the board, but by all those
who have been thrown in business or
social relations with General Echols,
aud, while he is one Of the most capa.
ble railroad officers in the United
States, be is also an accomplished Vlr-
ginia gentleman. His private busl-
ness takes him back 10 his home In
that State, bu, it ia hoped that his use-
fulness will not long be lost to the rail-
road interests of the south. Mr.. j. B.
Wilder, who has had much experience
in the direction OF railroads, and who
is one of our most wealthy and SUBJ
stantial citizens, succeeds to the presi-
dency of the companY.-Lo,asetHe

Woman a. q Voter.

A London correspondent says: "Wo.
man as voter is an accomplished fact
In England. Every woman who occu-
pies a dwelling in any city or town Of
England, Ireland, Wales or Scotland,
has q vote for aldermen and town Off
GERS in general. Under Mr.. Fosters
new act, in England, widows and SPINS
ters who pay rates have votes in the
election OF school boards. In Ireland,
every woman who pays. any sum as
poor rate has q vote in the election of
poor guardians. 1t is said that the
women exercise these rights heartily,
and in many cases where saloon.keep-
ers represented the wards OF cities in
municipal positions, they are signally
defeated by the votes of the women.
In London, as is we'll known, Mrs.
Garrett Anderson, NJ. D.. is one Of the
most useful members OF the school
board and the same is true of Miss
Becker, of Manchester. The right of
suffrage seems to have been conferred
on the principle that where women pay
a tax for any object, they shall have
the right to a voice in the disposition
OF the funds"
