Judge f'oiand on congregational
Pay

Hon. Luke f. Poland. representative
from the second congressional district has
written the following letter 10 the United
States Treasurer Spinner, reviewing the
whole question Of congressional pay and
restoring to the treasury his. 'hack pay" in
obedience TO that decision;
WAsHINGToN, Jan. 81, 1874.
G6a. i. I. Spinner, Trcawr@ot Tie Uni-
ted Stdies
SIR: ! herewith hand you draft for the
amount received by me for increased salary
as a member of the fOrty-sccOnd Congress-
under the Act Of March 3, 1873, to be
paid into the treasury of the United States.
| take this occasion To state shortly my rea-
sons for SO doing. The constitution pro-
vides that "Senators and Representatives
snail receive a compensation for their SER
vices to he asccrtaincd by law"
Compensation includes reasonable SUP.
port while performing the service and rea
sOnablc reward for the service performed.
The compensation heretofore provided bv
law has always proicssed to he uniform,
though the large mileage formerly allow
ed made 1t IN fact very uncquaD. In con-
sllcrlng what Is proper compensation, a
ullHtulty AZ once dllsCs from the different
condition and different habits of the va
riOus members, and first and mainly, rs to
the support or living while performing the
service. In Congress there are always
some men of large wealth, who are able to
live, and do live, in style altogether be-
You'd any salary yet fixed, or even propos-
ed. On the other hand there is a much
larger number who have no other support
for themselves and families but the com
pensatOn they receive as salary. But many
of this class cannot be content to live with
in small means, but are foolish enough to
feel that they must copy the expensive
style of their more wealthy colleagues, or
fail of equal social position
But aside from this, there is a great d.
versity in the actual and necessary cxpen-
SEES of different members. Some have
large and expensive families to support
others have none, or less numerous and ex-
pensive ones. Some have been accustomed
to the luxurious and expensive habits of
fashionable lifc others have been reared
to habits of frugal economy, and have no
desire to depart from them.
Compensation for service is perhaps still
more difficult to make equal There are
always men in Congress of large ability
and attainment who could command in
business or in the professions very much
larger income than they receive In Con-
gress. On the other hand, Congress always
contains some men whose services In any

CONNECTICUT.

Connecticut has commenced to buckle on
her armor for the political contest, which
will close by her annual state election on
the first Monday of April. The democrat
ic state convention met at New Haven.
Tuesday, was thinly attended, and resulted
in the nomination of Governor Ingersoll for
reelection. There was the usual contest
over double set of delegates from New
Haven, which was settled, as usual, by
lodging the question, admitting both dele
cations and, thereby, satisfying neither
Governor Ingersoll was elected a year ago
by majority of some twenty-five hundred
or three thousand votes, while the average
republican majority for members of Con-
grcss, throughout the state, was about the
same. The disturbing clement in Conncc-
ticut politics was thel as it had been for
years, the one capital question, New Haven
wanted j., and Hartford wanted it; and
this issue controlled state conventions, leg
islatures and elections. Governor Ingcr-
soil was a resident of New Haven, and re-
ceived republican votes in that county alone
sufficient to overcome the regular rcpubli-
can majority and give him a majority.
That issue had nothing to do with the con-
grcssional election, and the vote thereat
may, accordingly, be regarded as indica-
ting the republican strength of the state at
that time. Moreover, there were other
tcuds and divisions in the party that tended
to anything but harmony. This year, all
is changed. The capital question is settled
beyond recall, by constitutional amend
ment. The republicans are harmonious,
united and determined upon victory. AL
though the state convention has not vet as
srmbled' the press and people, with a sur
prlsing unanimily, have presented the
names of Harrison and Wait for governor
ana lieutenant governor and they will be
nominated by reclamation. Mr.. Harrison
is a resident Of New Haven, and was the
candidate of the New Haven wing Of the
party last year Both gentlemen are per-
sonally popular throughout the state, and
are. confcsscdly, head and shoulders above
their democratic opponents in every way.
The signs of the times point to a decided
republican triumph. Aside from governor,
the great strife will be for members of the
legislature, as an United States Senator is
to be chosen in the place of Governor
Buckingham. We do not believe that the
republicans of Connecticut will allow him
to be succeeded by any one but himself or
Honest Joe Hawley. All looks well.

The Inst Hanging.

In reply 10 correspondent we would
state that the last man hung in public in
Albany was Jessie Strang for killing Whip
pie at Cherry Hill, in 1927 The last man
hung in public in the state was Hardy, in
Troy, in 1880. An immense concourse of
persons was present, some 90 900, 5000 be-
ing ladies. Among the troops present were
the Albany volunteers and other companies
from this city. The volunteers were com
manded by Capt. Charles W Mink, now
counsellor at law. The companies marched
on foot from Albany TO Troy. The cap
tains were mounted. 1t was Captain Mink s
horse that touched off the treadle which
dropped the trap on which Handy was
standing. Captain Mink succeeded Captain
Thomas Raycaux in command of the vol
untccrs. Baycaux was aftcrwIrd captain of

BANKRUPT BILL IN TuEE SENATE

The Senate have taken hold of the bank
rnpt law in earnest, and seem determined
to make something of it, that will tend to
the benefit of the honest, unfortunate
debtor and, at the same time, give the Gre
ditor fair show. Systems of Bankruptcy
are nearly as old as the common or civil
law, and, with proper regulation, are almost
a commercial necessity. When business is
brought down to cash basis there will of
course, be no necessity for bankrupt or in
solvent laws. Then such names as debtor,
creditor, bankrupt, insolvent, etc, will be
obsolete. So long, however, as the bulk of
trade is transacted upon credit there will
be bankruptcy necessity for something
like bankrupt laws. That there was sup
posed to be such necessity is shown by
the clause in our organic laws giving Con-
gress the power to pass uniform laws upon
the subject. II has further been shown, at
