Back and Front Pay.

Last Monday Evening at the meeting of
the Board of Street Commissioners Tom
Moore, the expelled mem er from the Third
Ward, was in his seat as usual, although
not receiving very cordial wei come from
MS associates On the passage of bills,
however, his wishes or desires were not
considered, and everything went through
as with the rush Of mighty waters. City
Clerk Devy's little bill Of thirty three dol
lars for expenses attending his recent visit
to Madison as lobbyist was allowed without
a wry face among the lawgivers When it
is understood that Mr. Devy at Madison was
in the employ of the Union League, and
while there working against the interest of
the city, whose servant he is supposed to be,
the joke will be appreciated by everybody
and the abb ect condition of the city in such
hands realized by people at home and
abroad. But this was not the only ont.
rage perpetrated Monday Evening. A bill
of twenty five dollars was allowed Mr.. Devy
for making out the tax rolls of the city.
AS city clerk this was his plain duty to do
without any additional pay. His salary
of $500 per annum pays for this work along
with other labor he performs and to de.
mand and receive extra pay for it is an out
rage on the city and a steal from the tax
payers. We need not enlarge on this INST
ter; it is its own best commentary on the
way things are going in our municipal af-
fairs. And the question meets every citi-
zen in the face, how long are these things
to last? 1t is said of some that there is
'smethod in their Madness" but on the
part of the present Board OF Street Com
missioners there is considerable expense in
the madness they exercise, which is not
so pleasant for our pockets.

Stop that Cough !!

Many persons hesitate to try remedy
for disease, on account of the expense,
connected with the uncertainty Of its ben
citing them; while at the same time, had
they confidence in that remedy, the expense
would be the least objection. With this
fact in view, we make the following pro-
position Any person saffering with cold,
cough or sore throat that will call at F. j.
Schroeter's Drug store and purchase
bottle of HALE's CoUeH CORDIAL, use one
half of it, and if they then conclude that it
is doing them 40 good, they can return thu
bottle and receive back their money.
No medicine ever sold in this vicinity,
that produced such magical results DOM
fail to try it.

Northern States. Grantism, Sherman
ism and military rule cannot last al
ways in the icy North, no more than IN
the sunny South. The people Of both
sections will meet and talk over all
their differences and. grievances with
out violence or threateningOf any kind.
The auspicious movement which in
vited Gen. Lee and other distinguished
Confederates of Virginia, South Caro-
lima, and other States, to visit Banker
Hill, and participate in the centennial
celebration, cannot be arrested for any
base party purpose.
Patriotism is national and tolerant;
Radicalism is sectional and intolerant,
for ever reviving past contentious as
an excuse for new quarrels. Where
there is no discord, an attack is made
on an Agricultural Board in a Northern
State to create a public and sectional
disturbance. The purpose of the at
tack differs very little from that Of
John Brown marching into Virginia.
It means aggressive war; but the effort
to stir up hatred viii be miserable
failure. The gospel Of hate has had
its day, and better feeling obtains in
all parts of our common country.

LONG BRANCH TALK.

correspondence new lDLh heIAlts
Secretary Jewell is really at the
bottom OF all the mischief. He has
been running his Office for his own pur.
poses. The President understands
this, and will show that he understands
it at the proper time. l made you a
prediction year ago that has been
verified. l now give you another. 1t
Is that Secretary Jewell will be out of
til. Cabinet within the next thirty
DAYS. Bristow has no doubt been in
sympathy with Jewell, but I am in
clined to believe that both BristOw and
Pierrepont will harmonic matters and
remain in. One thingis GER
tain-if Grant should not be nominated
he VIII dictate the nomination, to the
confusion of all who are intriguing for
the succession, and IN that event Min.
lister Washburne viii head the Repub-
hcan ticket"
If the name of the gentleman whose
views are gwen above could be made
known, it would at once be recognized
that he does not assume without
authority to be cOnversant with the
Presidents views and policy in regard
to the future. Grant desires and in
tends to secure a denomination from
the Republican Convention next year,
and it is difficult to see how he can be
defeated. The organizations generally
are in the hands of the Federal office
holders. The Presidents programme
from now until the time of holding the
convention is to show himself among
his followers; to travel over the coun-
try in a quiet way, going here one week
and there another, and making per-
sonal capital without the noise of a
Scott or Greeley campaign.

LEGISLATIVE CHECKS.

The abuse of Legislative power in
and ont Of Congress, and the frequent
resort to parliamentary lodges for the
purpose of covering up Jobs" and
smuggling through schemes that will
not bear the light of discussion-are
growing evils. Nearly all the new
State Constitutions adopted since the
war, recognize the grievance and en-
deavor to remedy by such provisions
as, that no bill shall cover more than
one subject; that the subject matter
must be mentioned in the tide; that al
amendments shall be printed, etc.
The new Constitution Of Missouri, how
ever, makes an important step in ad-
vance Of all previous efforts. After a
final vote is taken on any bill and it
has received the yea and nay assent of
the majority of elected members, it
must be signed by the presiding officer
IN open session. Before so signing it,
he shall suspend all other business and
shall declare that the bill will now
be read and that if no obj ,ctions
are made after the reading he will pro-
coed to sign it, 'tO the end that it may
become a law" The bill shall be read
not by title, but cOmplete-and if no
member objects, the presiding officer
shall Immediately, in open session and
before entertaining any other business,
afhx!his signature, also noting that fact
in the journal, and the bill shall imme-
diately be sent to the other house.
When it reaches that house (Of course
this procedure is the final one and after
the bill has passed the house by vote
the presiding officer shall Immediately
announce the reception Of the bill, sus-
pending all other business, and the
same proceedings as just described
shall be observed. If, however, in either
house, a member objects, on the ground
that the bill has been accidentally or
otherwise altered in any manner SO that
it Is not "the same IN substance and
FORM as when passed, or that any par
ticular clause of article 4 Of the con-
stitution relative to legislative pro-
eool;Ss-sN l,,- ss--l-.r.1,- l,vassii5I
upon by the house. If sustained,
the presiding officer shall withhold his
signature, thus stopping the bill; if the
objection is not sustained, then any
two members may unite in a written
protest against signing the bill, and
this protest shall be noted on the jour
nal, the original of it being annexed to |
the bill itself, as it goes before the |
Governor. If the Governor deems the
protest Of sufficient weight, he can veto
on this ground as we'll as any other.
The promised advantageof thenewrule,
however, lies IN Observation-Disclosures each |
bill shall be signed in each house in
open session, after due notice to all
members. 1t viii delay legislation
but the impression is gen.
eral that We suffer from an excess of
aw-making rather than from any de-
iciency.

EXPECTATIONS.
Clattan00Ea IImes.

We had expected that the appoint
ment would be made this week Of a
successor to Andrew johnson in the
United States Senate, but we learn
that Governor Porter has not yet made
his decision and there Is a possibility
that ne may postpone the appointment
until lust before the next session Of
Congress.

IT was a Memphis Journal suggested
that Gov. Porter might "appint him
SELF Senator, and now a naughty
Memphis correspondent writes:
No one doubts Gov. Porters sin
cere desire to appoint some one who
will be most acceptabla to the people,
but politicians will talk, and they
shreWdly calculate that at the end of
1876 he may desire one of the two
vacancies to be filed by the next Leg
islature"
Possibly Gov. Porter, if questioned,
would be Fcurious to know why such
things were said, and what influence
they may be supposed to have in the
matter. If sense, what IS the sense?
If nonsense, why put 1t to an offending
public?

THE american Grocer, a journal
whose standpoint Of observation gives
il a general view Of the business out
look in both town and country, says;
'TLe prospects for fall trade look en-
couraging. The floods have ceased.
The crops are not so badly damaged as
was supposed. The occasional failures
Of business houses are not unexpected
and ceaseto have a depressing influence.
Wherever there has been an undue ex.
pansion Of credits, or bad speculation,
or over production, there must result
embarrassment, or suspension, or
fsilure. and thus all the recent
troubles Of business houses are explain
ed. There Is no general cause for de-
preston. The demand for all kinds
of agricultural products and manu-
featured goods in such a country as
ours must result IN large consumption.
People must eat and wear clothes. If
they DO not eat 50 many nice things or
wear so many,fne clothes 50 much the
better for the country. But those
merchants who study the requirements
Of trade, tell Us there is not, after all,
such a falling off in the consumption
Of frst-class goods; that while some
sections have to economic, others more
prosperous spend freely, and thus
equalize the distribution. Let every
retail merchant study the necessities
Of his own surroundings and act ac-
cordingly. It is d good time to draw
still closer TO a cash basis, and there is
always safety IL that direction"

THE Bank Of England has reduced
its rate Of interest to the unusually low
amount Of two per cent This shows
the extreme ease Of the English money
market, and also indicates the depressed
condition Of business. If busin SIS was
active in England money would be IN
better demand, and at higher rates.
But there is one hopeful feature; the
cheapness Of money can hardly fail to
stimulate business of every kind.
