EFFEcT o. a Ban ExANPLE.

The Pennsylvania legislature follows
the example of the last Congress of
thieves at Washington in increasing their
own salaries and voting themselves back
pay. This moral contagion will probably
spread like the smallpox, and, like the
smallpox among material pestilences, so
this is the nastiest and meanest of moral
sicknesses. As among thieves there are
different kinds who are more or less
manly according to the risk they run of
detection or of bodily harm in the act
so the sneak thief is held even by his fell
lows to be the most detestable. The
sneak-thief among the public plunderers
is the legislator who votes himself back
pay its inventor was Benjamin f. Butler,
of Massachusetts; the first to engage in
the business were the members of the
XLIId. Congress.
General Grant is not a quick-witted
man, but it is marvellous that even he
did not see how great a chance for
achieving an almost unbounded popu-
larity Congress gave him in raising his
and their own salaries. 1t was simply
his duty to refuse to sign bill that CON
tanned a provision so disgraceful and so
dishonest as that which gave a gratuity
of s., 900 out of the United States
Treasury to the Ahembers of a Congress
just going out of existence Had he
refused his sanction to it, and given
notice that he should call the new Con-
gress together to pass a new Appropria-
ton bill, he would have done himself
infinite credit. He took the other course
we are sincerely sorry to say, to his
great discredit-and the treasures of
half the states in the Union, very likely
will be robbed by their legislatures as a
consequence.

The nomination Of Archibald Mayo by

egate to the Constitutional Convention
gives great dissatisfaction TO the members
of that party. They denounce Mayo as
carpet-bagger. and as not being quail
fed for the place, and say that as they
elected him Prosecuting Attorney last
fall, he ought to be satisfied. His nomi-
nation is rather singular one, consider

Important Decision Touching Liabilities
In Case of Strikes.
Before Judges Barbour, Freedman and Sedgwick.
An important decision was rendered in this Court
yesterday touchingthe liabilities OF companies on
strikes created by themselves. 1t appears that in
December, 1870, the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad Company contracted to deliver to
Henry b. Bovine and others, coal merchants OF this
CITY, 800 tons OF COAL BY this contract they to
use every effort to furnish the coal, but excepted
themselves rom performing It IN full IN case OF
s.orms, disasters, &c, or strikes They delivered
few hundred tons and then, strike occurring,
failed to deliver the rest The defendants not pay
price OF that coal. The defendants put in a coun-
ter claim on account OF the breach OF contract in
failure by the to ta the Of
caused by one OF the excepted reasons in the con-
tract-a strike The referee found on this point In
of the fact that the strike was caused by an
attempted reduction in wages by the plaintiffs.

day announced the opinion Of that Court,
reversing the decision OF the referee. As an
nounced orally they hold that an exception OF
'strikes" does not include O strike caused bv the
defendants themselves, and that to reduce wages

Is OF considerable interest," was at once taken away
from the Court by ex-Judge Spencer, official re-
