TaE House Of Representatives is likely
to be forced by public opinion to take the
back track upon its arbitrary imprison-
ment Of citizens for fancied contempt with
OFT triai. Congress has defined Mr.. Kill
boUrp's ofFense, if he has committed any,
to be that Of misdemeanor, and expressly
provides that the presiding officer shall
certify him to the District Attorney for
Indictment by the grand jury. The House
has ignored this statute under the pretense
OF punishment for contempt. If Congress
had felt sure of the inherent power of
either or both of its houses to hold
aud punish by imprisonment recusant
witness simply for contempt, it would
never Lave passed the act of 1851, defining
contUmacy Of witness to be q INSIDE
mesuor and providing for its punishment
The very fact that Congress made this law
SO late as 1857 is conclusive evidence that
Congress did not feel satisfied that single
house of Congress or even both houses
had the power of Imprisonment of citizen
without a trial by jury. Hence, such
trial was provided for in the act of 1857.
Mr.. Klbourn and his friends are deter
mined to test this matter before the highest
judicial authority. The prisoner and the
committee simply differ as to the peril
ueucy Of the questions and their accom-
psnying demands for private books and
papers 70 the matter under investigation
Such difference is not singular or I'M
usual. 1t probably is not criminal. But
fit DC criminal, then the laws provide for
the determination of that fact by the court

MORE ABOUT kEDUCrIon OF SALARIES.
&c-FR0M 1888 TO 1876

In 1889 the Goyernm ent went into opera
ton under Washington as first President,
with no salary attached to his high Office.
Upon the subject of compensation he says:
"When / was first honored with a call
into the service Of my country, then on
the eve Of an arduous struggle for its
/" liberties, the light in which l contem-
"plated my duty required that should
rcnounce every pecuniary compensation.
From this resolution | have in no in,
stance departed, and being still under
impressions which produced it, must
decline as inapplicable to myself any
share in the personal emoluments which
may be indispensably included in per-
manent provision for the Executive De-
"partment, and must accordingly pray
that the pecuniary. estimates for the sta
90 ton in which / am placed may, during
"my continuance in it, be limited to such
actual expenditures as the public good
may be thought to require"
The spirit of Washington seemed to in
spire all public mon, and until 1893 no
permanent arrangement was made or law
passed fixing the compensation of members
Of Congress or the Executive officers.
By the act Of 1893 the pay of the Prssi-
dent and Vice President was fixed at
S25, 0Go for the former and s. 900 for the
latter; the pay of Cabinet officers was
fixed at So, 200, and the pay of Senators and
members of Congress was fixed at Sc per
day. In 1903 there was an effort made TO
increase the pay Of some officers, but the
compensation of Congress remained tue
same until 1916, when an increase of
twenty-five per cent. was added on account
of a corresponding increase in the price of
gold. This was called then disreput able
business, and in 1917 it was insisted that
it should be ''paid back with legal inter-
est, but it was not. The compensation,
however, remained unchanged until 1918,
when an increase was made to SIS per day
on account, as was then stated in Congress,
Of the "expeuse of living in Washington. &"
(See debates in Congress for 1s03-1S15 and
1881 And so it remained until August,
1918. 1t WIS maintained that member
of Congress could not afford then to give
his services for ST or So, which would
make his compensation from $500 TO 81, 200
year. In the first and second eras of the
Republic the pure and giant men OF the
nation gave their best talents to their
country. And while we do not place low
estimate upon our public men of the
present day, We nevertheless insist that if
the fathers of the Republic, together with
such men as Webster, Clay, Calhoun, Cass,
Douglas, Wright jackson. and a countless
host Ct others. could serve their. country in
Congress for six or eight dollars day, we
connot see why il should require now for
the same service q, 900. making all allow.
ances for expenses in living! And yet We
are strongly in favor Of Congress fixing an
adequate compensation for themselves; but
We insist that it shall not be done by taking
away from the clerks and other officers in
the Executive Departments what is neces-
sary for decent and comfortable living for
them, FER 10 cut down the force to increase

A TALK WITH SOUTHERN wH1es.

The time has arrived when the people
Of the country should calmly consider the
coUrse they intend TO pursue in the coming
Presidential election. 1t is useless toargue
with the Democrats of the old Bourbon
stripe. They are joined 10 their idols, and
believe lie to be damned but to another
class. and particularly in the South, we in
tead to address ourselves, with the hope
that they may calmly consider and right
fully determine as to their duty in the
premises. We allude to these in the South
Who were formerly Wings and those who
have grown up there believing in the tradi-
lions Of that grand constitutional party.
When the Wing and Democratic parties
eIisted, there was 3 marked difference
between the principles as well as the con-
duct Of these parties. The Democrats
then. as now, commended that the Govern
IRent was q mere confederation with
scarcely any of the attributes of nationality
and without power to preserve its own
life. They held that slavery was the cor
neIstone upon which the foundations Of
the GOVernmentw were laid, aad deemed the
structure as fimsy as such a foundation
would indicate. Whether they were hon
est in asserting such doctrines is matter
Of no moment and not worthy of considera-
ton; the fact stands that they so held. On
the contrary, the Wings held that the
Csited States tras a nation, composed of
separate and at one time independent
States, who had surrendered their
sovereignty when they became members
of the Union, the better to secure
themselves from foreign invasion, to re-
press domestic rebellion, and to advance
the interests OF al the parties in the com

THE New York World has very few
scrupIes as to the manner in which it at
tscks its opponents, but the issue of Mon
Gay contains the meanest and most con-
temptible effort of this kind ever seen in
any paper. a dispatch was sent from
Washington TO the Cincinnati Enquirer in
regard to 4 statement made by F. c. Heiser
& Co, relative to the payment of $4,000
to Baron Grant, of London, in connection
with the Emma mine transactions. The
statement was denied, and a second dis
patch says that the denial was based upon
tine fact the amount was stated at $50, 900,
when It should have been geo 900, and that
the amount was not negotiated through
Heiser & Co., but through another firm.
The World copies this dispatch from the
EnqEirer, leaving out the title of Baron
Grant. 1t head lines the article, Grant
aus the Emma Mine, ,, e:::Sii s;;iides the word
Baron in the body Of the dispatch. This is
a contemplate effort upon the part of most
contemplate paper to lead the public to
believe that President Grant was alluded
&c. Even the pirate of the press would not
have been guilty Of such unadulterated
mesnness. He has the merit Of telling his
lies boldly, and not by insinuation.

Most Of jay Gould's lobbymen have left
Washington. They brag that they have
defeated the Texas and Pacific railroad
bill for this session. Are the members of
the House willing 10 rest under the impu-
tsticn that is carried under this bolst,
coupled with the assertion previously
made that "a carload OF money would be
spent to defeat that billf' We hope not.
The vast majority of the people of the
country demand the passage of the Texas
and Pacific bill, as it will not only break
down an odious monopoly, but do much
to relieve the monetary pressure now
hearing so hardly upon all classes.

their own pay. and 60 TO the country with
t cry OF economy and retrenohment. We
want justice to all and injustice or wrong
to none. Ii was maintained by John Ran
colph on the floor OF Congress. and acqui-
tsced in by other members, THAT clerk
Gin the Treasury Department should have
"all the integrity and honesty as the Secre-
"tary himself-an the sttributes TO make
chin Secretary" The clerks, as gen
efal thing. come up to this Standard. II is
true some clerks have fallen into tempta-
ton. 1t is equally true that Secretaries
have fallen also.
This question being settled as to the
moral status and requirements, let US con-
slider the question of living in Washing,
ton, as that is q vital question. We ask
any member of Congress or Senator to
tell us how clerk can live here for year
on 81 900, 81, zoe, 81 400, and maintain his
family, whether it be large or small, when
an honorable member insists that he him
self cannot possibly live On less than
81, 800, and be rigidly economical at that.
The supplies of each come from the same
source, the same market. The store and
wherever else necessaries come from must
be resorted to by them both alike, with
this difference, that the clerk and his
family are here all the year round, while
the memberis here not more than half
year at most. 1t may be urged that 8
clerk must be economical aud he must not
expend so much money as Senator or
member. That is true; but he has neces-
sary expenses that must be met, and we
maintain that his pay is inadequste, abso-
lutely unequal to his most rigid economy.
He must live decently and honestly, and
the people of the country are willing that
Congress should provide for it. The
people cannot see the economy in taking
off thirty or forty per cent. from the pay OF
poor clerk and put it on to the pay of a
member Of Congress. Y.
The process of "robbing Peter to pay
Paul. will not be acceptable to the gen.
erous character of the American people,
and woe to the man or the party who seeks
their favor upon SO corrupt and dishonest
q practice. ...

A Pin in His Back.

The Albany Times of Friday says:
Zone of the lodges of the innumera-
BILE multitude which is always striving
to live without work is thus described
by a resident of Hamilton street: A
strong healthy.looking man rang the
door.bell and asked for few pennies
to buy him some bread. They were
refused on general principles, and then
the sturdy beggar began writhing as if
in misery, and explained that he had a
pin sticking in his back, which hurt
hin severely. He would like to go into
the house minute, in order to remove
the troublesome thing. In the case re.
ferred to, suspicion was aroused, and
the man with pin in his back was
ordered to move on. In others, how.
ever, the imposter has been allowed to
go into room alone, where he has
helped himself to whatever he could
lay his hands on. The trick was quite
common on Arbor Hill a few years ago,
and in one instance the lady of the
house, who was alone, was rudely in.
insulted. Our readers will do well ia
beware of the man with q pin in his
back =
