A lively conversation followed, in which the
senator attempted to show his companions
the many temptations that surrounded him,
and that, through his wife's solicitations, he
had thought seriously of pledgng himself TO
total abstinence.
Like most men habituated TO strong
drinks, some Of them confirmed drunkards,
his reasoning was met with SCOTS and jeers.

Ranks Broken.

1t has been reserved unto Capt. l.. l..
Ainsworth, of the Third district, to break
the ranks of the congressional delegation
I of Iowa which has stood solid and impene-
trable for nearly twenty years. All honor
to the Third district. All honor to the
gentleman, the patriot, and statesman, who
has carried the banner of his party tri-
umphantly through the contest. l.. L.
Ainsworth was war Democrat, and prov
ed his Democracy upon the very places
where the bullets flew the thickest. He
came home as he went forth, tried, trusty,
honest man. He didn't change his politics
and so down south carpet bagging, but
came home like man, and when peace
was declared, promulgated the doctrines of
peace and not of continued oppression. -
He believes in the union of the states and
in state rights, personal liberty, and
stringent license law. He will Lonor our
state in congress even as he has many a
time honored our legislature with his pres
ence. He is powerful in debate, sharp
reasoner. quick to the point, and keen as a
double edged sword.
Indeed do we congratulate the people
and the party upon the election of so strong
a man to congress-the strongest by large
odds of any candidate in the field He
will honor the state, the party, and we, the
people. shall surely find great reason to
honor L. l.. Ainsworth. -Dapenpor DEM

SALARIES OF STATE OFFICERS.

The following from the Chattanooga
Times of yesterday is correct, with the
exception of some inaccuracies as to
the Treasurer's compensation:
We have received a note from ga
Subscriber" inquiring as to the pay of
the various officers who are to be elect
ed by the next Legislature. With the
assistance Of legal friend, we have
worked over the Revised Statutes and
Appendix, and find the facts to be as
follows:
The Secretary of State has two more
years to serve without election. The
Comptroller's Office, now that the fund
ing is over, has no perquisites. The
salary is $3.50, code section 1926. He
is allowed also $1,000 per year for
clerks hire; code section 1927 a; total
$3.50. From which deduct actual
costs of clerks hire, from $1,000 to ST.
500, leaves pay of Comptroller from
81, $50 to 81 $50.
The Treasurer's Office, which requires
a very heavy bond, has salary of 3d.
200, Code, sec. $3.50; clerks hire, ST.
200, Code, sec. 452Sd; as Insurance
Commissioner $4,000, act of 1873. To-
tai, 5000. From which deduct clerks
hire, 81 200, leaving balance $500.
The pay of clerks and door-keepers
is fixed by each General Assembly, the
pay of the clerks being usually the
same as the Speaker-S6 per day of
actual session; and the door-keepers
same as members-S4 per day of actual
session.
If we are incorrect our Nashville
contemporaries can correct US.

Rome Correspondence of the London News.
On the 10th inst, the Pope, who has
recovered from his indisposition, after
receiving the Bishop of Bucharest, ad-
mitted several English Catholics to an
audience. In addressing them he said;
GA former Minister of your country,
whom I had believed rather moderate,
and who, to say the truth, had never
while in Office manifested arrogance or
violence toward the Catholic Church,
intoxicated by the proceedings OF an
other Minister In another State, has
suddenly come forward, like viper, as
sailing this bark of st. Peter. have
not read the book, and have no great
desire to read blasphemies, but from
what l understand, the Minister whom
they call Liberal hatters the Catholics
of that nation and leads them to be-
heve that 1 wish those subjects to be-
come disloyal to their sovereign and
the laws of their country. Puzzled at
beholding the vast progress made by
that great nation In the path of the,
true faith, the fallen Minister hopes to
arrest the luminous triumph of the
Church by interpreting, after his
own fashion, the viii of this poor Vicar
of Christ. A great king (Charlemagne)
said that, even should the Church i'm
pose heavy burdens on the conscience
of the population, the Catholics should
bear them from their interest In the
communion of the Church; but our
dogmas, far from being burdens, are
light. Those who will walk astrsy are
not Catholics, they are wor ,e than inf
dels and Professionals, because, calling
themselves Catholics, they daily rebel
against God and the laws of the
Church"

OUR NEW LAWMAKERS.
The People Will Hold them TO a
Strict Accountability.
Rolivar Rullefin

bOlNdE Dullcllns
That the gentlemen elected to serve
in the next Legislature of this State
are to have a difficult task to perform
in their deliberations is now fully con
ceded. Among the most important
questions that are to be determined by
that body there are two about which
there is such diversity of opinion that
it will be hardly possible to give gener-
al satisfaction to all the people Of the
State We mean, of course, that in
regard to the finances of the State and
the choice of a United States Senator.
In regard to the first, the people will
expect their servants to devise some
means to preserve the credit of the State
and at the same time to pay its honest
debts without increasing the burdens of
taxation. This will be anice little prob
lem for the Legislature to figure at when
they take their seats at Nashville. Their
constituents have pretty w2ll defined
notions of their own IN regard to the
State finances. and will look with some
degree of solicitude as to what will be
done. OF those especially, who in the
late canvass so roundly abused the pol
icy of the last Legislature, we ought to
expect considerable, for, without speak
ing as the apologists of our late law
makers, we may be allowed to say that
it was very much the custom of candi-
dates to abuse the funding bill on the
stump, without suggesting a practica-
bic remedy for its evils. 1t is, how
ever, true that both candidates and
people determined some time ago that
acton should be taken on that section
of the funding bill which makes the
funded bonds preferred debt.
But, with all the abuse heaped upon
this measure during the late canvass,
we cannot recall an instance IN which
candidate clearly stated a practicable
plan that might have been adopted In
stead of the funding bill for preserving
the credit Of the State, or even said
what he proposed to do when he got to
the Legislature, further than to state in
general terms that he would do his ut
most to have the State to meet all her
Just obligations and TO take such other
steps as would maintain her credit. This
was in the midst of an exciting can
vass, and many good men expected to
reach the Legislature only by 1.-The
skin of their teeth" Therefore, all
due allowances were made for the pro-
mitigation Of an indefinite policy. The
Democrats can have it all their own
way now in the Legislature, and al
though we never regarded the funding
bill as party measure, we do know |
now that the people of the State will |
hold the dominant party to a strict ac-
count for their acts in the incoming
Legislature.
