WAR ON THE Rio GRANDE. A San Antonio
letter states that seven regiments are now on
the Rio Grande. Sheridan, Belknap and other
military officers are there, in constant consulta-
tion-leading to the belief that some important
military movement is on foot. Sixteen mopi-
tors and gunboats are also ready at NJ Orleans to
start for the scene of operation, and it is thought
the movement means the cleaning up of the
Mexican and Indian robbers, on our Southern
border, and if Mexico objects, slice will be
taken off of her territory. IF there is any of
those unfortunates left, who didn't get fair
chance at ''eating forty yankees before break
fast, any home rangers who ranged around
home" still ''spiling for fight" now's their
time to 60 where glory waits them

GRAVE PROBLEMS.

Hon. Charles Francis Adams in an ora
tion delivered at Hartford Uniye! sity, on
the 26th ul., said: "Lste events seem TO
have shown in q manner not to be misun-
derstood that very many persons at present
occupying high public trusts have erred
most PAINFULLY, not SO much from evil in
tent as from the absence of that which edu-
cation supplies, a nice sense of moral dis
elimination in public conduct. But there
is even wider scope for the exercise Of a
wholesome influence over the community
at large which would soon make similar
offenses impossible. Let us not despair OF a
remedy. The times are critical. Not here
alone, but all over the world. Prosper,ng in
purely material interests, as l fully believe
the people at large have never done before,
the elements to work out the grsvest moral
chsrpes are simultaneously st work every
where. The problems now freely present.
ed for agitation reach the foundations Of re-
ligious faith, of moral philosophy, of civil
government, and even of human society"
These are the grave problems which Rad
ical Republican rule has precipated upon
this country. How do the people and es-
pecially those who have voted for the men
who have brought about this result, like the
picture?

WHY HE DIFFERENCE:

Frauds in the revenue are constant in
the New Yo9k Cus5om-house, a. d the
Euening Post mentions three heavily i'm
porting sugar houses caught in the tolls,
from one of which the Government claimed
$4,000 aud accepted $4,000; from an.
other S45, 900 and took 81, 900, and from the
third, of which it demanded $125,00 it
received 1000, ard was satisfied. Anoth-
er, dry goods house, was prosecuted for
an alleged fraud Of $4,000, and escaped
by paying $4,000. Another case is stated
of lace and importing house, where the
fraud is estimated at 81, 100000. No SC
ton has been taken in this case, but appli-
cations have been made for a settlement
in unison with those reported, in all of
which custom officials, who 60 unpublished,
are charged with having aided in the fraud.
These wealthy defrsuders Of the revenue
are treated very differently from what q
less wealthy class in the South are. When
q Door devil is caught distilling without a
license, his property is destroyed and he is
thrown into prison, unless he makes good
his escape. There is no offer TO comprc-
mise with him. Why this difference in the
treatment of violators OF the revenue laws ?

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE SALARY
-.-----.-.-.------- 1TrTzA II. %


"E0e;y member OF Congress who votes
against repeating the salary steal will be
guilty of political suicide" says the Gincin-
natl Gazette, Republican journal. We
have no doubt the Gazette honestly be-
lieves what it says. The Albany Argus be-
iieves the bluster being made by the
Republicans, to the effect that they are go.
ing to bring about a repeal Of the Congress
sionsl "sslary STEAL" is simply "blird;"
thet they have no idea of any such thing,
and that their resolutions Of condemnation
have been adopted simply to quite the dis
satisfied people for the present, in antici-
patton that the whole thing will soon blow
over. This is evident, says the argus, from
the latest developments, that the law was so
amended that Congressman can draw
their pay quarterly, and before they are
sworn into Office, and it is stated that near
Iy all the members Of the Forty third Con-
gress have already drawn their first quar-
ter's pay. Therefore when Congress as
sembles next December, the members will
have six months of their salaries at in
creased rates in their pockets. This mat
ter was all arranged. The Senators will do
tie same thing. In fact Senator Carpenter
has already made speech defending the
thing, and be speaks for the Administra-
ton. 1t looks very much as the argus
charges, that all this bluster of the Repub-
lieans is mere "blind." The axact extent
of the increase in the salaries made by the
vote OF the two Houses of Congress on the
Sd Of March last, and approved by the
President, can be seen by the following ia
bic which we find compiled in the Chicago
Tribune

SOME Of the farmers in northern Ohio
compl sin that while in 1860 bushei of
wheat nominslly sold for fifty cents less
than it brings now; still in that year it
would purchase seven pounds of coffee or
fifteen and half pound of sug II; while now
it will only purchase five and twothird
pounds cofie or thirteen pounds of sugar.
Well, whose fault is it? Did not many of
these same farmers vote for the men who
have brought about this state of affairs?

The salaries of all the Congressional en-
ployes were increased as follows:


a 'ditiOnal compensation TO reporters OF the
House and Senate for the Congressional Globe
ten at 81 500 each, besides 800 each granted in
another form, exclusive of their regular pay by
the GLOBE, with IS per cent on top OF that
The Increase in the salaries of the Repre-
sentatiVes and Senator'S, except the Speak
er Of the House and the Congressional en-
ployes was dated back two years, and made
to begin March 4, 1871. The whole amount
Of the increase Is about $4,000 q year.
The Administ' alton and the Administra-
ton members of Congress, know that the
salaries fixed as above will not be disturbed.
The intention is that they shall not be
changed. The brszen imposition upon
the people is o e carried out. Is it not
about time that the people made up their
minds that reform can never be secured at
the bands of the Republican party?
