Setting Rich in Congress.

, a great many people wonder how
members Of Congress grow rich 70
rapidly ou g = salary: of $4,000 year.
An Incident occurred In tho House
of Representative, the .othor day
which will throw s9po light on the
subject. Mr.. Beck introduced a
bill to punish membcSs Of tie Sen.
ate and House who engaged as coun.
sel in suits against the government.
1t was opposed by Gen. Butler, but
was passed. What Buffers interest
in such :inatterai has been may be
judged from the c1icial record ol
the Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia ip, tho Farragut p,ize
oascs. This shows that he profited
to the extent ofSs7,22l by tho bill
for paying them. This itom solves
the mystery.

The Cream OF tho Question.

= Great stress is laid upon the man
ner in which the Louisiana House of
Representatives was organized and
Mr.. WiItz elected Speaker put it is
a radical mistake to assume that the
use of UD tied States troops, in unsea at.
ing tiye mem bers of the Louisiana
Legislature, can be justified by prov
ing that the members so driven out
had not no right to tho seats they
were occupying.
In truth, the legal or illegal char
acter Of the Louisiana Legislature, or
of any Of its members, or Of any of
its acts, is no reason, justification or
excuse for kcllogg's use Of The mill
tary forces. The Legislative hall was,
doubtless, in coufusior Even had
it brcome scene of actual fighting
End bloodshed, Kellogg would have
h'd no constitutional right to use the
United States troops AT he 4 d. The
police might have been used or tho
State militia but he could not lc-
galIy employ tho United States troops
without making n formal ,euuisition
on the President and obtaining the
special authority Of the President.
This he did not do. Bat there was
no bloodshed or riot there was moth
ing to justify the Intervention Of any
military body. The trouble was
purely civil ono, requiring only
civil remcdios, and in tho settlement
of which the use of scfdiors, under
any circumstances, would havo boon
uuwisc and malicious. AS matter
Of fact, kellogg had no authority to
send United States troops into the
Legislative chamber, however pressing
the emergency might have been, and
his act, therefore was uuconstitution-
al, illegal and absolutely without ex.
cuse or Justification. !
Nor Can Kellrgg's conduct be JUS
tilted by TIE alleged fact that certain
Conscrvn two members os the Lcgisla-
ture invited the troops to expel tho
crowd from the lobby aud the Lcgis..
lativc chamber. Kellogg must prove
that he made II formal redui>ition
upon the President for military al ,
and that the President gave hin,
special authority to use the United
States troops. That would relieve
him and transfer tho responsibility
to the President, who has no power
to authorize the invasion Of legis-

A Lake Captain.

The Cleveland Leader gives the fol-
lowing brief sketch of the life of Captain
Scott, the owner of the sunken steamer
Equinox: Captain Dwight Scott, who
went down with the ill-fated Equinox.
was about fifty-three years old, and came
to this city from Connections when a
little more than twenty yems of age.
For several years after coming to Cleve-
land he followed the trade of painter,
and did much in the way of painting
vessels. In this business he was so sue.
cessful that twenty years ago he was able
to purchase al interest in q vessel,
which he then repaired and named Gov.
ernor Cushman, in honor of governor
of Connecticut by that name, with whom
he lived when boy, and whose memory
he held in the highest esteem. Captain
Scott, in addition to the Cushman and
Equinox, was formerly owner of the G..
d. Caldwell and the Ionside, which was
blown up nearly three years ago at Buff
falo. In the management of these ves-
sells he spent the greater part of the time
since 1856, always sailing with them
when on the lakes, and spending his
winters either at his residence on Cove
avenue, in Rockport, just beyond the
city limits, OF i'll Detroit. He was not q
professional lake captain, and never at
tempted to command vessel, but re-
ceived the title of "Captain" from his
love for the water and his long conneo-
ton with the traffic of the lakes. He left
Cleveland Mt the opening of navigation
last spring, since when he has not visit
ed his home. His business was between
Sarnia and Chicago, and was of gen.
eral character. Captain Scott was q
widower, and had but one child, Min
ME, young lady in her nineteenth year,
who went down with the ill-fated vessel.
She was student in the convent ut De-
troit, where she entered three years ago,
remaining then for only year. At the
expiration of this time she returned
home and passed year in the Cleveland
convent, when she went back to Detroit
and remained till the close of the school
year in July. She then joined her
father on the lakes for the purpose of
passing her vacation, as was her wont.
She was accompanied by daughter of
Capt. Scott's stepson, who now resides
at the residence near the Melrose House.
This young lady was fifteen years old,
and was about to enter the Detroit con-
vent with her elder companion. Both
were ladies of rare endowmerits of heart
and mind, and leave many in this city to
lament their sad and untimely end. Per
sonally, Dwight Scott was genial,
whole-souled gentleman, who enjoyed
the company of friends and acquain-
tances, and possessed natural love for
the water.
