On the first day Of the present ses-
sion Of Congress, Hon. Geo. q.
Wright, Senator from Iowa, intro
duced bill to reduce the Presidents
salary to $25, 900. the old figure. For
this the Burlington Gazette, either
through ignorance or malicious dis
regard Of truth denounces him as
dernagogue, says he is attempting to
make little cheap notoriety and re-
gain lost popularity at home. 1t
says also that "when the salary was
raised he was one OF the most active
in its support as well a. the back and
forward pay grab--received his share
of the plunder and only returned 1t
when he found that there was uni
versal Indignation at his conduct"
There is scarcely n newspaper
reader In Iowa so ignorant Of the
facts as to be deceived by such un-
blushing falsehood. Everybody
knows that Senator Wright fought
that Infamous back pay and increase
salary bill with more vehemenee
than any other man in the Senate.
lie never touched the back-pay.
No man could with more consisten-
cy move for reduction OF the salary
of the President. The Republican
who denounces such measures as the
salary-grab Is branded ms a dema-
goguc; and If he favors 1t he is Of
course called n thief by the venal
Democratic press. The Democrat oi
this place also made the charge
against Senator Wright that he was
one Of the first to pocket the grab.
or course 1t will never correct the
libel. Truth will not answer the
purpose of such journals.

The Democratic press is howling

The Democratic press is bowling
again about Gage, the Chicago de.
faulting reformer" being cleared
by a jury, and are trying to saddle
him and his acquittal upon the Re-
publican party. He was elected as
a reformer, in opposition to the
straight Republican nominee. He
stole 100000 only, and Of course
they would like now to disclaim
their black sheep and shove him up
on us. Don't deny your own.

Congress has appointed commit
tee of seven to report upon the situa-

report has been promulgated will
the truth in reference to the whole
sale slaughters of the past few
months be known, nor the half be
realized. The condition of things
there is Iawless and shameful almost
beyond conception, and yet the facts
are concealed or distorted.
