Cholera Raging Among tho Russian Col.
OniSfS In lD0kAfa

From tho Sioux City Journal, Sept. Is.
-Four unmistakable deaths from chol-
era occurred in Yankton on Monday
last. One of the victims was q niece
OF DR.. Vanderhule, of this city, who is
our informant. He further says this
awful scourge is raging to a fearful
extent among the Russian settlers on
Jim River, 20 or 80 miles from Yank-
ton. This confirms the statement
which MIR. Bradley made to us few
days since, of q very fatal epidemic
raging in that particular region. There
were four deaths upon the day of his
visit. This settlement is made up
principally of Russian emigrants re-
Gently from the old country, and no
doubt they brought the seeds of this
most terrible scOurge with them.

INCREASING SALARIES.

The United States Senate passed the
bill TO double the Presidents salary, and
to raise the salaries of various other Off
GERS, including members of Congress, and
what was the worst of all, the bill includes
the two proceeding years. President
Grant signed the bill and it is now law.
We submit it to any candid, honest man,
whether this is any better than stealing,
only these men cannot be sent to the
penitentiary for this act. Here were
men who were elected to serve the peo-
pie two years, in Congress, for the sum
of FIVE thousand dollars per year. They
served their time out, and then back out
from their contract with the people, and
vote themselves fifteen hundred dollars
per year extra. And what can be said
of the President, who signed the bill to
double his own salary? It greatly strength
ems our former opinion, that the one
term principle, or idea, is dangerous
one. Does any one believe that Presi-
dent Grant would have approved such a
bill before his election? If he had, he
would have been overwhelmingly defeat
ed. But now he has nothing more to
ask or expect from the people, and there
fore he aids in putting one hundred
thousand dollars into his own pocket
over and above what his implied con
tract with the people demanded. Elect
your Presidents for one term only, anc
they viii work for .heir own interes
without any fear of the indignation o
the people.
We regret that President Grant die
this thing We cannot justify it or ex
cuse it, on any ground. As to the ma
jority of the members of Congress, O
both parties, we could expect nothin
better. Their action in the repeal Q
the franking privilege, at the deman,
of the city papers, showed them to b
very small demagogues. That was don
on the pretext of saving expenses; bu
when it comes to voting money int
their own pockets, to which they hay
no claim whatever, they never appear t
think of the cost TO the people.

On last Wednesday we were visited by
another one of those street swindlers,
who put up for sale envelopes, which he
claimed contained money. He sold some
as high as ten dollars which contained
nothing but two small pieces of candy.
1t is very strange how anxious some Iron
ton people are to be swindled, and the
worse they are sold by these itinerant
gamblers the more they seem to enjoy it.
That individual last Wednesday should
have been promptly arrested by the prop
er authorities and punished severely for
obtaining money under false pretenses.
Is there no one who will attend to these
fellows? As soon as the weather is suita-
bic our streets will be thronged with
these swindleIs.-Tronton Journal
What is the necessity for stopping
these swindlers2 No honest man is ever
in the least danger of being swindled by
these sharpers. When man goes into
lottery, or any other kind of gambling
he does it with the intention and expec
tation of getting money or property with
out giving an equivalent for it, and if he
gets caught in his own game, it is only
good for him.

There was sharp little passage in
Congress last week, between Job Steven
son and one Dickey which is too good to
be lost. Here it is:
Mr.. STEVENSON-I believe if all the
present members of the House were
turned out-and half of us are being
turned out daughter I've could not, on
the average, do as well at our business as
we are doing here? Mr.. Stevenson de-
clared that the salaries paid by the gov
ernment were sufficient to secure the
services of good and proper men. He
was satisfied with his present salary
Mr.. DICKEY-Speak for yourself
Mr.. STEW ENSON (vehemently)-I will
speak for myself, and for you too. l be-
lieye it is enough for you. Laughter I
| believe it is all you are worth Laugh
ter | would not hire you for the bal
ance of your life at that rate. Loud
| laughter.
Mr.. DlCKEY-You never made S., 900
in your life, outside of your salary as a
member of Congress.
Mr.. Mr.STEVENSON-I have made SI0,0 900
in a single case, and doubt if the gen.
tleman ever did the like.
Mr.. DICKEY-Then you fooled your
client. Laughter.
Mr.. STEVENSON-I do not know why
the gentleman from Pennsylvania en-
deavors to inject nonsense into every
thing in this House Laughter
Mr.. DICKEY-I should like to inject
some sense into the gentleman from
Ohio. Laughter.
Mr.. STEVENSON-The gentleman
might ingraft some sense in me if he had
any himself. If l could buy the gentle
man at what he is really worth, and sell
him again for what he thinks he is worth
L never would need any salary from Con,
gress. Laughter.
Mr.. HOAR, of Mass, (R.), made q
point of order that this debate was un
worthy the character of the House, and
ought not to be permitted to proceed
and the Chairman sustained the point o.
order.

Newspaper clamor is very uncertain
Last fall when Harrison Nickel was
arrested on charge of placing a cross
tie on the railroad track, with intent to
throw an approaching train off the track,
and thus destroy life and property, the
newspapers all over the country, and
especially the Cincinnati papers, called
him a scoundrel, beast, fend, &C.,
who not only intended to kill and des-
troy, but also to rob the pay train. We
never mentioned the circumstance, be-
cause we knew that nearly all the intelli-
gent men-such as ought to sit on juries,
read our paper, and we desired the
young man to have an impartial trial.
Long before the trial was over, we
were fully convinced that he was entirely
innocent. He was drunk, and seeing a
tie lying across the switch, he supposed
that it was on the main track, and re-
moved it, as he supposed out of the way.
And well did Judge Hastings in his
charge tell the jury, that if he thought at
the time that he was removing an OBJ
struction from the track it would be
revolting-it would be monstrous, to
punish man for attempting to do that
which it was clearly his duty to do-2e-
move an obstruction from the track,
when a train was approaching
We are glad that this young man has
been fully vindicated by a jury of his
country. Whisky got him into this
trouble. Let him, and all Others es
this case, and let whisky alone.
