''As regards the selection of General Gordon

HOW CONGRESS HAS INCREASED ITS
OWN COMPENSATION WITHIN TIE LAST
TWENTY YEARS

In continuation of our defense of the
clerks in the Executive Departments on
the subject Of salaries, we are more than
anxious 10 90 before the people of the
country and discuss this question with
honorable members. We are more than
willing that they should know all about
this business We want them to under
stand that the Democratic party in times
Of peace, and when gold and silver was
the money Of the country, increased their
own pay one hundred per cent or more,
and when no public necessity required it.
by the act of Congress of January, 1878,
the pay of each Senator, Representative
and Delegate was fixed at s. per day ''for
ecery day lie has attended or shall attend
"ny Congress- In addition to this, mile
age at s. for every hundred miles was
given, together with the franking privi-
lege and other perquisites.
This would make the pay about So, 800
or 3.C0o for every Congress of about eight
or nine months, three months for the short
session and five or six for the long session.
BY the act of August, 1856, this pay was
increased 10 $1,000 per Congress, or about
one hundred per cent. The pay of the
clerks of both Houses of Congress has also
ranged about fifty per cent. higher than
the clerks in the Departments, and besides
it was the invariable practice of Congress
10 vote twenty per cent. additional to all
lis employees at the end Of each session;
thus increasing their pay about one hun
dred per cent. also. And if we consider
the fact that neither Congress nCr its clerks
were here more than eight or nine months
in the year, the Pay was immensely in
creased. These were gO0d Democratic
times, and we wish the people to under
stand how their money was spent, and
their gold and silver lavished upon them
selves and favoritcs at the Capitol. After
the war began and deprecated paper
money took the place of gold and silver
there was a Unnecessary increase to corre-
spond with the changed condition of things.
But if the very great increase made was
required, it ought to have been in some
degree in the interest of the clerks also.
In this review, however, of the action of
Congress it is not proposed to even in
sinuate that this increase was not needful
and proper, eminently proper and abso-
lutely needful, from the increased prices
and expense of living. But while these
facts existed, and the same necessities
pressed with equal force on all alike, does
it not seem strange that the compensation
of the clerks in the Departments was never
increased a cent? Did not the clerk and
his wife and .chlldren require the same
bread and meat to live on, and decent
clothes TO wear? Or could they go with
out human comforts. On what do others
feed, or what clothing do they wear that

Under his marked power for organization the
partially disorganized cavalry forces were rap
idly put into effective condition, and made to
perform duty commensurate with their num-
eers.
The maps Of Macon and Its defenses, and the
account given of the movements of the cavalry
in its attack upon and final capture of this
place, will cause that movement to rank with
all readers among the most brilliant perform
ances of the cavalry, either at the East or at
the West, during the entire war. If any one
In the country has been imposed upon by the
romances of Gen. Fitzpatrick, in which he has
taken occasion to sneer at the performances of
Gen. Wilson, careful reading of this portion
of Van Horre's history will effectually dispose
Of Gen. Kilpatrick's efforts to belittle this
most successful cavalry general.
The volume also contains an interesting ac-
count, illustrating by plans and elevations of
the elaborate block. house and stockade system
adopted for the protection of posts and bridges
along the long lines of communication. This
portion of the work brings prominently present
the most important and valuable services rem
dered by the engineer corps. The fifty closing
pages are devoted TO 4 list of officers killed in
the various movements OF the army.
The work is an invaluable one to all who
desire to become acquainted with the history
of this army, which, under its successive COM
manders, Buell., Rosecrans and Thomas, at
tanned such standing among the great Union
armies.

require so much more money to pay eI-
penses?
Nor is this all; the labor Of the clerks
had been increased from one hundred to
five hundred per cent. in some of the De-
partments; and during the war it was no
uncommon thing for clerks to work late at
night and sometimes all night, and for all
this never received cent of extra compen-
sation. Not even thanks. We have en-
deavored to discuss this subject upon just
and equitable grounds and in no partisan
spirit. The more the matter is examined
the more apparent it becomes that instead
of the decrease proposed, large increase
is due in some shape, to the faithful and
laborious clerks who from 1861 to 1872
performed the enormous work of the Gov
ernment and with no corresponding in
crease on the pay fixed twenty-three years
ago and to be paid in gold. This was the
contract of the Government, and it ought
to be fulfilled-if not in kind in an equiva-
lent of some kind.
We mean the people shall distinctly and
thoroughly understand this new inspira-
ton and virtue OF economy that has at
once come upon our Democratic friends in
the House of Representatives.
They can well afford to cut down their
own pay ten per cent. or even twenty, so
largely increased for the last twenty years;
but poor and faithful clerk who has had
no increase at all cannot afford it. They
are willing to go before the people, the
grand jury of the country, with their Rep
resentativ,s in Congress. They have no
fear of the result The people will do
right and be just. II will be difficult to
make them see why certain class of their
servants here at Washington require so
much to live upon, while others receive
such small and insufficient salaries.
