Franklin ON anleial Salaries.

Franklin was the author of the
primitive Constitution of Pennsylva-
MIA, while in a condition of transit
tion from a colonial to confederate
government. The thirty sixth arti-
Gle was as follows: GAS every free
man, to preserve his independence
Of he has not a sufficient estate
ought to have some profession, call
lug, trade or farm whereby he may
honestly subsist, there can be no ne
cessity for, nor use in, establishing
offices of profit, the usual effects Of
which are dependence and servility
unbecoming freemen in the posses
sors and exHectants, faction, conten-
ton, corruption and disorder among
the people. Wherefore, whenever an
Office through increase Of fees and
otherwise, becomes so profitable as
to occasion many to apply for it, the
profits ought to be lessened by the
Legislature"

ITO Governor Davis. dustin, Ierds
"Your dispatches and letters reci
ting the action of the Supreme Court

The acts of the Legislature of Texas
providing for the recent elections
have received your approval, and both

nations, and having conducted the

[Signedl ''U. s. G9ANT."
Previous to the receipt of the above,

Fate OF the French Harshals.

BaZaine's fate recalls that of other
Marshals Of France, who have been
sentenced to death. They are seven
in number. The first was Giles de
Laval, Marshal de Retz, who in 1923
distinguished himself at the siege of
Orleans. For the massacre of chill
dren in his castle Of MachecouI, the
the Marshal who seems TO have been
a victim Of homicidal insanity, was
hanged at Nantes in 1440, and his
body burned. The others were Louis
Of Luxembourg, Count ofSaint Pol, de-
capitated in 1475 for participation in
disloyal plots directed against Charles
VII. and Louis NJ. /; Charles de Con-
tant, Due de Biron, who though
high in the favor of Henry w.,
eonspired against his King, was
pardoned, then intrigued to bring
about q division of France be-
tween Savoy and Spain, and was de-
capitated for treason in the Bastile in
1902; Henry Due de Montmorency,
decapitated at Toulouse in 1882; Baron
de Luckner, who did excellent service
for France in the latter part of the
eighteenth century, but was denounc-
ed to the revolutionary tribunal, and
decapitated in 1894; Philippe de No
allies, Due de Mouehy, who, with his
wife, perished on the scaffold in 1874,
for defending his King against the
outrages ofthe infuriated people; and
Marshal Ney, who was shot in 1915.
Bszaine, though more fortunate than
his predecessors in escaping death,
yet probably has had less sympathy
from his eountrymen than most of
them. Their crimes were against in
dividuals or dynasties, but his, in the
popular estimation, was directed
against France.

fire. The fire companies were on
hand as promptly as possible, consid-

they had to lay out over sixteen hun

The fire had started at the south end,
and by the time the fire engines got
to work the entire frame building
was in fiames, and the roof burning
on the engine house. By active and
hard work the engine house and con-

The Cincinnati Gazette recalls a
characteristic act of Caleb Cushing
when Attorney-General under Pierce,
as follows: s-
The Washington correspondent OF
the Commercial informs us that Caleb
Cushing, when Attorney-Gener un-
der Pierce, gave an opinion that q
Postmaster in Mississippi had q right
to refuse to deliver the Gazette to sub
scribers on the ground that it was an
incendiary publication. This recalls
the circumstance, but we did not know
before that Cushing had anything to
do with it. A subscriber in Mississip-
pi paid for the Gazette, but the Post
master after time, refused to deliver
it, on the ground that it was an Abol-
ition sheet. The Postmaster Geueral
was appealed to, but the Mississippi
official was sustained. We refused to
stop the paper, however, until we re-
ceived q message in the following
words: "Old P is dead and gone
to hell, and if you want him to get
your id paper, change the direc-
tion." Ascertaining that Mr.. P
had died, we stopped the paper. The
Mississippi Postmaster also died, and
in hell, no doubt, he lifted up his eyes
to see Mr.. P, who stood up in Mis-
sissippi in the darkest days of the
slaYe power against the institution,
afar off in Abraham's bosom.
