be more interesting, however, to know just
what Senator Morton said and did about it
in the Senate, and the New York Tribune
rehearses this bit ofhistory as follows:
HMr. Morton did not distinguish himself
at Washington by opposing this ill. The
record of the voters shows that be was
sometimes for aud sometimes against it, and
on its final passage he did not vote at all.
Moreover, when it came into the Senate,
amended ca motion of Mr.. Sargent SO as to
make the increase of salary $1,000 q year
instead of s.. 500, Mr.. Morton declared thai
the change was not worth while, and ac-'
cofdin ly voted nay, for lbe avowed reason
that ifapy Increase st all was 70 be made he
wanted it larger. Hewas undoubtedly con-
scientious enough to understand that it
would not pay to outrage pubic
opinion for fifteen hun red dollars; what
helrealy thought about the bill when the
increase was raised again to twenty five
hundred We can only judge from bis actions.
As We have said already, he did not vote at
all when the bill came back from the Con-
ference Committee, with General Buffers
figures restored. The same timidity and
vaeiIlasion which characterize him while
the matter was under discussion has marked
his conduct since the fruits of the theft be-
came his. After dsllyiDg with the money
nearly half . year, he b suddenly grown
weary Of being questioned about 1t, as we
yesterday predicted he wonld, and has
authorized bis home organ to announce
that he has covered bis back pay in. o the
Treasury. This is an excellent result Of
the persistent impertinence with which the
people have this year (, sisted upon inquir-
ing INTO the doipgs of their leaders" - z

REPAIRING AN INJUSTICE.

1t is so seldom we find a Republican
journal willing to repair an injury done a
political antagonist, that we are the more
willing to reproducethe following coDspicu-
GUS instance from the New York Times OF
Aug. 26:
ave said the other day that Mr.. s. s. Cox
had returned his back pay, aud that this
was an act which ought TO be entered on
the credit side of his balance-sheet with the
public. Upon this correspondent correct
ed us, and insinuated hat Mr.. Cox did not
return the money until Mr.. James Brooks
died, and he saw chance of being elected
in Mr.. Brooks place. We are now salts
fed that this insinuSlion was unjust. Mr..
Cox had many private duties, of very sad
nature, to attend to after the close of the
session, but when thess were discharged, be
lost no time in ordering the back pay to be
returned TO the Treasury. Upon the whole,
we adhere TO the opinion we before express
ed, and we recommend our correspondent
y. Gin tie language of the period-to
stAke back seat Mr.. S. S. Cox is an old
political antagonist of ours, but antagonists
sre as much entitled to fair treatment as
ones friends-often little more So"
Evidently the Times does not believe that
"a lie well stuck to is as good as the TRUTH
There are other Republican journals that
might profit by Its example.

a LETTER to the Chicago Tribune from
Iowa City furnishes queer array of Re-
publican speakers for the Iowa campaign, as
follows:
appointments are issued by the chair
man Of the Republican State Committee for
msss-meetings in Iowa. The speakers are
Palmer, Orr and Harlan, the Congressman
who took their back pay and KEPT it; 81. G.
Henderson and N. M. Hubbard, railroad
attorneys, and eight Congressman who have
drawn their 1925 month since March 4,
though not sworn into their seats yet. 1t
is also announced that John A. Logan will
participate in the Iowa canvass. Inasmuch
as the party platform denounces Credit
Mobiler, back-pay and forward-pay, and is
red hot against railroads, this array of speak
ers is peculiar

By the act of the Illinois Legislature of
May 2, 1873, ''to prevent extortion and un-
just discrimination" the Railroad and
Warehouse Commissions of the State were
given authority over roads charging more
than a reasonable rate of toll, either On
goods or passengers, and these commission
ers have fixed upon three cents per mile as
the rate to be paid hereafter for passage on
first class railways in Illinois. The average
passage rate has heretofore been between
four and five cents per mile for distances
under forty miles, and between three and
four cents mile for greater distances. 1t
remains to be seen how the new decision
will operate. 1.-THE Illinois roads can carry
passengers at That rate, the roads in other
States ought 10 be able TO do the same.

SENATOR MORTON,s RACK Paw

a
The Indianapolis journal, the organ of
the Republican party at the capital of In
eiana, said in its Issue of Aug. 90:
'The Democratic papers are never 90
happy as when abusing Senator Morton.
and during the last few weeks they have
found an inexhaustible theme in the bact,
pay matter So they have gone howl
ing from day to day, and Senator Morton
has not spoken word that would shame
them into silence, nor has he permitted his
friends to do so. But we are now suthor-
zeo to say that Senator Morton returned
his back to the Tresrury some time
ago. He has submitted in silence to Demo.
cratic abuse simply because he would not
be forced into advertising his virtue by vol
'unteering piece of information which was
sure to come out sooner or later without
any ostentatious psrading of it on his part.
We have been apprised of this fact for some
time, but have not been at liberty to state
it. at last, however somewhat weary of
Democratic abuse, the Senator authorizes
the fact to be made known, as above
stated"
Now, reader, row long do You suppose it
was before this "by authority" announce.
ment was made that Senator Morton re-
turned bis back pay to the Treasury? Just
seven days lit bears date Alg. 10. That
was "some time ago." fact of which the
Journal had been apprised "for some time,"
considering that his back pay has been ~
ing 10 bis credit for nearly six months. In
his speech at Athens, Ohio, on the 23d
inst, Senator Morton said: "While doing
justice to the motives of the members of
Congress who had voted for or received
what is called back pay, l do not wish to
be understood as approving the prin-
elpe involved in it." That is an
excellent thing to say in the presence Of
an as 'emblage of voters. Perhaps itwould

THE culprlts in the great gold conspiracy

THE culprits in the great gold conspiracy
in New York, which eliminated in the
Black Friday, Sept. "a, 1869, all escaped
punishment. Gen. Butterfeld, the delin-
quent Assistant Treasurer, was allowed
quietly to resign from the army without o
court martial, and Corbip, Fisk and Gould
shuffied off their responsibilities, and con-
tinued to be as rich and powerful IS eye-.
Under these circumstances it is not TO be
wondered at that a similar combination is
now going on for the same purpose in New
York. The World vigorously denounces
it, and the system that favors il, of which
the New York Exchange Bank is said to be
part. This apt anecdote is told by the
World in its article of last Saturday:
"It was lately made a subject of Boosting
by French gentleman TO an American
friend that the premium on gold in France
did not reach half OF / per cent?, when
ths American replied that two or three
Broad street men whom he could name
could 60 to Paris and pat gold up there to
ITO in less than three weeks. Possibly
said The other; but we should put them in
all in less than two weeks" .-s@
