Trifing with Human Life.

A special despatch to the Herald says
that since the Wawasset disaster private
examination of the passenger and freight
steamers running out of Baltimore and
plying between intermediate landings In
Chesapeake Bay aud the rivers emptying
into il shows that not one of them was
equipped as the law provides. one boat
carrying ~ many passengers as the Wa
wasset had not u single life preserver ON
board. but she had the inspectors certif-
cate that the requirements of the law had
been complied with. On another boat u
chest. marked in large letters life pre-
servers was found on examination to
contain old rope, chains, aud u mass of
sand for ballast.
More than week ago in the Washing
ton correspondence of TIE Sun IL was
shown that for several years the laws OF
the United States intended TO secure the
safety Of passengers have been system
atically disregarded by owners OF steam
boats sailing out of Baltimore, with the
completely of the local inspectors and OF
Secretary boutwell,. The completely of
the Secretary was established by showing
that although he had been mndc fully
tors to enforce the laws. they were con-
tinucd in Office, aud that formally pre-
ferred charges against a local Inspector of
boilers, III which he was accused of issuing
false certificates and other offences of IA
grave nature, were treated either with en-
tire neglect or followed by a sham investi-
CATION in which the complainant was SUBJ
jected to insult aud contempt.
In another column will be found two
letters addressed to Secretary boutwell,,
the first in December. 1871, and the second
i'm January, 1872. by a thoroughly compe-
tent chief engineer then employed upon
large steamboat running out of Baltimore,
in which distinct charges of an exceeding
~ grave character were made against an
inspector. Mr.. boutwell, was furnished
with evidence that the complainant was
trustworthy man. but the efforts of this
conscientious engineer 10 secure better
| provision for the safety Of passengers
proved utterly useless, and the conse-
quence is the dangerous condition of af-
fairs referred TO in the Herald despatch.
1t appears that the officials Of the Treas
ury Department have at last become
aware that their culpable neglect Of duty
has been found out and they now COM
plain about the trouble of getting men ms
local inspectors who will do their duty on
the pay allowed. This is all the mercst
bosh, for there are plenty OF competent
and trustworthy men who would be glad
TO get such Offices nj the present rate of
remuneration. The trouble is the officials
of the Treasury Department do not look
/ for honest and competent men in making
these appointments, but for persons hnv-
| ing political Influence that will control
votes. Aud this accounts in great meas
| ure for such disasters A. the Whwassct

duced the expenses and labor of every
senator, Representative, and Delegate
about onc-third. And, in addition, II was
provided that every member who held n
certificate recognized by the Clerk Of the
House should he paid the increased salary
monthly, from the 4th of March to the
first Monday Of next December.
When this project came to be presented
TO the members whose terms were about
expiring they clnimed that this arrange
mcnt was one-sided. They said, substan-
italy, you propose to reduce the cost OF
living ope-third i'm the next Congress by
having only two sessions, and 70 add one
half of the present pay to the new salary.
This is all very good for you who are re-
elected, but for us who are going out with
little prospect of return, and who have
had to bear the cost of three sessions, II IS
decidedly bad. Give us the proposed in
crease for the two years we have served
and all will 60 well, for you will profit
dot-yiy by the operation in receiving the
back as well as the future pay.
This was the process by which the ini-
duity was cousummntcd, so far as Congress
is concerned. The back-pny plunder was
about 5000 a head, while tho fore pay be-
tween the 4th of March and 1st of Dccem-
Der next will yield s5,62j. without render
ing an hour of service the members OF the
Forty-third Congress have drawn sG25 each
month since the 4th of March or s3,7bC
up to the Sd of September. This mon
strous provision ought to end the annual
salary for Congress, which in substance
and in name is n fraud, when the session:
only cover nine months in two years.
Bad as the back-pay grab is applied tc
the members who went out ON the Sd oi
March, II is still worse applied TO thos,
who were members of the Forty-secont
Congress and arc also members of tn,
Forty-third. They are double robbers
who pocketcd the grab for two years, aut
are now enjoying the proceeds of vena
! legislation passed by their own votes
Aud they have done this knowing tina
| the law gives them the alternative of tax
/ ing the old or the new pay at option, "a
! both are specifically provided.
When the storm of popular indignation
rose. there were members who tried I,
make a virtue Of necessity by returning
their back pay to the Treasury and claim
I ing merit for it. Some of them had vote,
on every critical test 10 aid this outrage
and only discovered their error when /
! might be turned to personal account
That sort of death-bed repentance will
hardly be received Us evidence of reforma
ton. Tainted men must not expect 10 re
| gain confidence 10y merely returning tn
goods which they helped 10 steal.

succeeded In the Senate by Gov. WAsHBuRN'

The Fore and the Back Paw Con-
tFasted.

OF the many bad features OF the infa-
nous act by which the salaries of the Presi-
dent, Congress, and all the principal CivIi
officers were shamefully increased, most
Intention and criticism have been attracted
10 the back-pay steal because Of its trans
parent enormity. Everybody recoiled at
the idea Of men voting themselves two
years OF additional compensation during
the last hours Of their political existence
when they had already received the large
pay allowed by law. That fact required
no argument. II stood out before the eye,
ana naturally provoked Indignation.
But when this subject comes 10 be meas
ured by the rule of right it will be found
