about two hours. The condition of affairs
in Spain was under consideration, and
several dispatches from Minister Sickles

SALARY REPEAL BILL IN THE sRNATE,
The back pay question Is likely to be
as great bone OF contention In the Sen.
ate as It was in the House, and as they
have no limit TO the time In which they
make speeches, we may look for an end
TO the debate about next June. When
the Senate opened its session this morn.

question would be settled and a, vote had

opinion was greatly strengthened upon
Senator Sherman taking the floor, and
saying the people expected and demand.

bers OF Congress, and that be wasready
70 vote at once on the question; butwhefi,
the ponderous colleague Of Mr.. Morton
unfolded his portfolio and displayed flfty
or sixty sheets oil ioolscap and monot0.
nously began reading them the friends Of
prompt action Lost confidence, and began
9 retreat to the smoking rooms. Mr..
Pratts speech was purely historical. He
sketched at length all the back.psy steals
INDUCED In by parliamentary bodies
since the creation, and succeeded In prov.
ing that thepcto of March 8, 1873 Iwass the
most outrageous OF all, " A
Z Mr.. Thurman followed, arguing inI
favor Of total repeal ol theincrease in all
cases, and the restoration to the Treasury
by members OF the present Congress Of
the back pay in their possession. The
restoration could be accomplished BY
Withholding the future pay OF members
until the amount OF the'steal was made
good.
Mr. Logan thereupon made the point
that when O. member Of Congress had
drawn pay for services, that money be.
came his property, and could not be taken
away from him. BY law 1t was his. Mr..
Thurman admitted the fact. Then said
the Illinois Senator: ! ask the gentle.

An Interesting Railway Decision.
An important case was tried in the
Somerset County Court, New jersey, re-
Gently, the result Of which will be Of par.
tlcular interest to railroad companies and
10 passengers who may meet with accI-
dents. John Knable, the plaintiff, re-
ceived injuries on December 2lst, 1871,
while riding in the rear car OF a train on
the Connellsville Railroad, a bruised rail
having thrown the car down an embank-
ment into the river, 1t was shown to the
Court that the repair master of the d.
vision on which the accident had occurred
had been notified Of the defective rail. In
the instruction to the Jury the Court held
that when an accident happens and a
passenger Is injured, the presumption is
against the carrier, and that the defendant
must remove II by showing that there
was no negligence. On the question as to
what the law requires in regard to the
structure Of railroads, the Court sub
stantially charged as follows:
The road must be constructed Of the
best materials, in the best known manner.
1t must be safe and sufficient beyond
question In view OF the business TO be done
upon II. The ties must be sound and
strong, the rails strong, well laid and
fastened. The road in It's structure must
DO up TO the standard OF the best roads,
and 1t must be kept up 10 that standard.
Inc utmost care and vigilance Is required
o. the company In keeping Il In repair.
II must be kept In the best condition. Il
must not be suffered to be out Of repair
ior a moment longer than the utmost ali.
ligence requires, 1t must be always as
good as new, as good as the best. The
railroad company is bound to keep hands
enough, and Of such quality as 10 keen

The Way TO Make Money In the

The Way 10 Make Money Ia The
Interior. ~
A reader OF the INTRLLIaRNcER in The
interior ol this State, who noticed In
Mondays issue the advertisements quoted
from the Cincinnati Commercial offering
large sums Of money on real estate secu-
rity, writes, under mistake, to US, ask
ing our good offices In the way OF .nego-
tiSting q loan for him. he offers real
estate worth double the amount he de-
sires to borrow ss security, and Is under
the impression that these adyertfseme pts
emanated from Wheeling parties. Our
friend Is a thrifty business man, we Judge,
from what he tells US as to his operations.
He is, he says, engaged inloaning money
on short time, say 90 and so days. He is
careful slwaysto take good security, and
ION the same principle ss. banking al.
ways takes the discount in adyance." " His
business has so increased that ne can
successfully use eight to ten. th0usand
additional capital" and he proposes
that il any. parties in Wheeling have
any money that they want to put out on
good security Tor "three or FIVE years
time" he. will secure them by first
mortgage on realty at 10 per cent per an.
aum, payable in advance every three
months.", In addition he Twill give per-
sonal security II necessary" On these
terms he authorizes US to make loan for
him. We therefore spread the offer be.
lore our readers, and ifany OF them desire
to avail themselves Of the oiTer they can
call on us and get the name OF the party
desiring TO bor1GT';Ee ncaeJ and open
negotiations direct with him.
II strikes us that when our friend can
afford to make such a tempting offer to
Wheeling capitalists as he authorizes us
10 name to them, thathe must necessarily
be charging the natives q good round sum
who are borrowing from him. II, in other
words, he can afford to pay 10 per cent,
quarterly in advance, how much must he
in sell. defence charge his customers
Certainly not less than one per cent per
month in advance. And how long can
people out in the interior pay that price
for money and continue to owntho houses
they live in p A farm is bound to melt
sway rapidly under q mortgage OF one
per cent per month, paid in advance,
which is equivalent TO about thirteen and
and quarter per cent per annum. At
this rate, a man with few thousands to
loan would stand a good chance in a few
years of owning a county or two in the
interior. NJ a5tu,a .3
