MR.. BEECHER's SALARY.-The Neto York

MIR. bEECHER ESALAKY.-1He V6U OK
Tribune says:
"Many reports have been put in circula-
ton recently in regard to Mr.. Beecher's
increase of salary. 1t has been stated that
the members of the Plymouth Church con-
gregation were very backward in subscrib-
ing toward the additional salary, and that
it was designed to mortgage the Bethel for
the purpose of raising the necessary funds.
All these reports are denied by the men,
bers of the church. 1t is asserted by them
that out of the whole amount voted to Mr..
Beecher. only $4,000 yet remains to be
collected. This will not be needed before
next Winter. There has been no back
wardness or lack of zeal in the matter, and
no difficulty will be experienced, it is be-
lieyed"

The testimony taken in the alleged
frauds in the New Orleans Custom House
shows that many mechanics and artisans
who accepted work as laborers had signed
blank pay rolls, receiving one dollar and
three quarters per day, while the Govern
ment was charged four or five dollars per
day for their services. 1t is stated that
much of the work done by these mechanics
was afterwards covered by contracts and
the Government compelled to pay again for
the same work.

FACTS THAT SPEAK LOUDER THAN
WoRDs.-Taxation, in Maryland, has in
creased from ten cents on the 500, where
the Republicans left it, ten years ago, to
twenty and five-sixteenths cents-more
than doubled in decade!
We confess to a philosophical curiosity to
know how long taxpayers can be forced,
under the Democratic party lash, to submit
to this state of affairs. The organs of the
party, which urge people to stick to the
corrupt tickets manufactured by the rings
are we'll paid for their work by the fat
pickings which are thrown to them by the
State and county rings, and by this liberal
share of the spoils their allegiance is Sc
cured. The advice of such attorneys is
too interested to be trusted. A little indie
pendent thinking followed up by the same
kind of action is what is required of tho
Taxpayers.

ENGLISH JUsTICE.-There is a good deal
of reality about British justice, and it is
administered without unnecessary delay.
The trial of Col. Valentine Baker, con-
cluded on Monday last in London is fair
specimen of how the law deals with scamps
in that country. The gallant Colonel find
ing himself in railway carriage with =
young lady few days previous, insisted on
thrusting his attentions on the young lady
in SO marked manner as to become tho
ground of an Indictment charging him with
misdemeanor and assault. The prisoner
was found guilty of indecent assault, and
was sentenced to Imprisonment for twelve
months and to pay fine of 81, 500. He is
also to pay the cost of the prosecution.
The gallant Colonel enjoyed high social
position, and was acknowledged to be the
best strategist in the British army, but
these distinctions which would most likely
have protected him in this country, did not
shield him from tho consequences of his
conduct under British justice.
We can very we'll dispense with her Roy
atty and her Nobility in this FREQ and
enlightened Republic but we would very
much like to see justice dispensed after the
old English fashion. This fashion would
be much worthier imitation than tho styles
in dress of London and Paris so eagerly
adopted by US Republicans.

t8 What does the following paragraph,
published in the last issue of the Democrat,
mean?
pressed to the wall by false friends in
an evil hour he (Groome) yielded, trailed
his banner in the dust, and turned over his
faithful supporters to do the work cut out
for them months ago. Thus by an unAoly
alliance aoih political gamesters, was an hon
orable man placed in false position before
the people of his State and his friends in a
ents-the people ofths State sold like sheen in
tile shansblss, and disgraceful combination
completely consummated."
The declaration it contains is plain enough.
1t charges Gov. Groome with An "unholy
alliance with political gamesters ~ who
forced him to withdraw from the contest
at an agreed signal or time previously ar
ranged, and influence the Cecil delegates to
vote for the candidate they knew was not
the choice of their constituents.
If this work was "cut out months ago"
by CAROLS supporters, Gov. Groome ought
to have known about it, and when they
showed their hands at the convention what
compulsory measures did they use to cause
the candidate from Cecil to not only with
draw, but turn over his delegates to the
enemy. After Groome, Cecil favored Ham,
ilton almost unanimously, every leading
Democrat will tell you. Then why did all
but one of the delegates from this county
vote for Carroll? The Democrat charges
that they were "sold like sheep in the
SHAMELESS" Does it mean what it asserts?
and if so, who got the consideration, or is
to receive it? 1t is in order to rise and
explain, like Jim Nye's friend. The Cecil
folks would like to know all about turning
over "faithful supporters to DO work cut
out for them months ago ~
