Gov. MOVES, Of Ohio, gives the
following in a recent speech at Ath-
ems, Ohio:
BACK SALARY.-And there is no diff
ference of opinion as to the character
of that legislation, by which Congress
men not only increased their future
compensation one-half but also pro-
vided for back pay at the same rate.
Both the Democratic and Republican
platforms condemn this action in un-
mistakable terms. There is but one
sentiment regarding it among the
people. A repeal of the law is de
manGed. Now, my friends, it is
sometimes fair to hold that party re-
sponsible for legislation which has a
majority in the legislative body;
sometimes this is unfair, as | will en-
deavor to show: Suppose there were
two hundred members Of Congress,
one hundred and one Republicans
and ninety-nine Democrats, and two
Republicans voted with the ninety
nine Democrats to secure the passage
Of a bill, would the Republican party
then be responsible? Yet they had
in the case supposed a majority of
the members. Let us now consider
for a moment the vote by which
the back salary measure became
law.
In the Senate it was as follows:
Republican Senator'S for the bill ............ %
Republican Senators against the bill ......... p

Mr.. Caleb Gushing is, making an effort IN
behalf Of suffering humanity. He has iustitut-
cd a. suit iu the Washington Supreme Court
against Thomas Kelley, Of Washington, claim
ing $1,000 damages on the first count and
$4,000 on the second. He sets forth that kel-
ley did wrobgiuy keep dog which was used
and ACCUSTOMED to bark continually by day and
night, and that on Saturday, the 18th inst.th
defendant did then and there allow the said dog
to bark necessarily from early in the day through
the whole day and night following, and did
thereby hinder and prevent the plaintiff from
studying aud transactiog his lawful business by
day and deprive him of his sleep during the
night, 50 as ipjurionsly to affect his health and
the peaceful use Of his property" The second
coun, alleges the keeping of the same dog and
that said dog was a dangerous one. u MIR.
Gushing succeeds there Will be something of a
CONJUNCTION among those who keep barking dogs
to the annoyance Of whole neighborhoods, and

Speaking of two recent decisions In cases of
Bankruptcy, made by Judge Underwood, no
tees of which, from the Warrenton Index, we
have copied, the Richmond Dispatch says
THAT first is singular case-oue not foreseen
by the trainers Of the bankrupt law. Judge
Underwood has perhaps decided it correctly;
yet the decision seems to set at nought that
feature of the amendatory bankrupt law which
allows a man to claim bis homestead as against
judgments and liens of State courts. But Judge
y. knew that he could not set aside the deed
of trust, and he concluded that he could not 60
behind it to- set, aside the judgment lien.

ALEX CAMBRIA, VA.
WEDNESDAY, JULY l6, 1873.

The newspaper: accounts of the fire Of yester-
DAY: at the Navy Department in Washington,
represent the damage done to be greater than
is repated in the dispatch sent by Secretary
Robson to the President, which is copied 10
another column, under the head of Washington
News. It is said that ue-half of the building
is, in consequence Of the disaster, unfit for occu
panoyt And temporary arrangements will be
made to quarter some Of the clerks 10 buildings
in,the vicinity It is rumored' also, that per,
haps' Che Department would lease the Kirkwood
House; ler some other large building, in order
to; transfer the whole Department from the
preseat structure until the completion OF
theIn new lS,ate Department building. 1t is
almost; impossible to estimate the damage
to the property of the Department. The build
iug: and IF furniture is damaged probably to the
extsrspsfs@ $4,000: to $4,000, while it is
difficult to compute, with any degree OF accu-
racy, the loss of various records and official
documents. Its not probable that the total
loss will exceed $4,000, and it may be much

DIVIDING THE RopE.-One of the scenes at
the execution ofthe negro murderer Jim Brown
at Suffolk Friday seems to have escaped all the
reporters. After the body had been cut down
crowd gathered around the gallows and clam
ored for pieces of the rope with which the fel
on had been hung. The sheriff good natured-
ly cut it up into small pieces and distributed it
amoug the crowd, each of which, judging from
the eagerness displayed, regarded himself as
the possessor of tallsman of priceless value
II is superstitious belief of some people that
he who obtains a piece OF the rope with which
man is hanged will not have his sleep disturb
ed by unpleasant dreams. Others firmly be-
lieve that piece of the rope carried in the
pocket will protect its possessor from rheuma-
tism. -NouoM Journal
