WHILE arguing case before the
United States Supeme Court in WASH
ington few days ago. says the Chicago
Legal News, Albert Pike made a clever
reply to an objection of Attorney
General Pierrepont. The Attorney
General had questioned the evil
dence of one of Mr.. Pixies wit
nesses on the ground of the extreme
age of the man-73 years-and pre-
sumptive failure Of his faculties.
" Well, your Honors," said Mr.. Pike,
don't altogether like that myself,
for am now G6 years old, and in a
little while shall be 10, and even 70,

men with no memories. [ see on the
bench before me one Justice hearing

another who is ~. and / would like to

client for whom Mr.. Pike was arguing

whom he had once fought duel.

Local INTELLIGENCE.

MogB EMtGRANTs Yesterday after
noon an eiuigrant train passed here,
consisting of sixteen heavily loaded
cars, and headed by two large and
powerful engines. This is by far the
largest emisraut train that has passed
this year. The emigrants all seemed a
gay and jorial people, and talked of
the land OF gold as if they expected
to reap The shining " cart-wheels " in
by the bushel. Some of the "boys :"
at the depot were a little inclined to
stuff the pilgrims with tales of
untold riches that awaited them in the
Golden State; and, with open mouth
and glisteuiug eyes. the lis;ners looked
the very picture of hope. This looks
like the tide of immigration had again
set Ia, aud that our sister State will
this year receive many wandering
pilgrim.

Horrible Murder of Judge John A.
Carson by John Smith at Grab
Orchard, Ky.-The Murderer in
Jail and Mob Violence Expected.

Correspondence Of the Couricr-Journal.
STANFORD. Ky. April % 1s76
On Sunday morning last. about eleyon
o'clock. Judge John A. Carson was rs
saulted ut the Baptist church door, in
Crab Orchard. nv John Smith. and sbot
to doath. One of the witnesses states
that Smith was observed standinc. nj the
church door as the onpre cation was
assembling for worship. and When ,JudGc
Carson was seen approaching, Smith
crossed the street to his shop, entered it
and remained n few moments. when he
came out and rccrossed the street, com.
ing up behind Carson, and lust as Car
son reached the door, Smith drew a mis-
toll and, without warning. shot him in
the back. Carson turned and cried for
help, receiving n second shot in the
breast; he then begged piteously for
mercy, seeing no help at hand, and, re.
oeiving the third shot, fell. A Mr.. Fo-
ley rushed across the street, and caught
Smith, who hurled him away, and, pre-
~senting his pistol at him, made him re-
treat. Smith then turned and shot Car
son, while PROSTATE upon tho ground,
bleeding AID dying, twice more. One
chamber of his revolver having failed to
fire, he stood over his dead victim and
snapped his pistol several times. The
congregation inside of the church heard
the shots, and screams and dying groans
of the murdered man, but feared to 90
to his assistance. After swapping his
pistol several times, and failing to fire
the remaining load, Smith coolly pock-
etcd it, and walked across the street,
and stood calmly and apparently moon
cerncd until arrested, when he told the
officer that Carson had talked about
MIN, and had to die for it, and had MS
well die then as ut any time" The Off
Ger placed him in Jail here Sunday night.

THE SALARY BILL Z T

A bill having passed Congress. to re-
duce the SALARY Of the President of the
United States to $4,000 per annum,
President Grant sent in the following
veto. We believe his conclusions are
correct and just, and will be sustained
by the liberal public sentiment of the
country. which sentiment has so often
sustained him before. Since tho first
passage Of tho bill, we have mover
thought that sc 900 was too much COM
pensation for the President of the United
States.
To the Senate of the: United States (:
Herewith l return Senate bill No. 172,
entitled ''An act fixing the salary of the
President of the United States" without
my approval. am constrained to this
course from a sense of duty to
my successore in Office, to myself, and
TO what is due to the dignity of the
Chief Magistrate ofa nation of more
than 10000, 900 people. When tho sal
ary Of the President Of the United States
was fixed by tho Constitution at $780,
600 per annum, We were q nrtion of but
5000, 600 people, poor from a long and
exhaustive war, without commerce or
manufactures. with but few wants, and
those cheaply supplied. The salary
must then have been deemed small Tor
the responsibilities and dignity of the
position, but justifyably so from the i'm
poverishcd condition OF the Treasury
and simplicity il was desired to cult
vate In the Republic. The salary Of
Of Congressman under the constitution
was first fixed at sc per day for the time
actually In session, 40 average of about
100 days TO the session, or 1920 per
year, or less than one-third OF the salary
af the president. Congress have legis-
latee upon their own salaries from time
to time since, until finally it reached
5000 per annum, or onc-hfth that of
the President, before the salary of the
latter was increased. No one having q
knowledge of the cost of living ut the
National Capital will contend that the
present salary OF Congressman is too
high, unless It be the intention to make
the Office one entirely of honor, when
the salary should be abolished, n prop
osition repugnant TO our republican
ideas and institutions. ] do not believe
the citizens OF this Republic desire their
public servants to serve them without a
fair compensation for their services.
The sun of 81, 200 does not deiray the
expenses of the Executive for one year,
or has not in my experience. 1t is now
one-filth in value what it was when
fixed by the Constitution in supplying
demands and wants. Having no per-

felt myself free to return this bill to the
House in which it originated. with my
objections, believing that in doing so
meet the wishes and judgment of the
great majority Of those who indirectly
pay all the salaries and othor expenses
OF the Government.

Sad Reflections.

Charles b. Wilkinson in the character
OF fugitive from justice, is forcibly
suggestive of the mutability of the for
tunes Of men. A few months ago and
he was not only the trusted servant of a
gracious government but of literary
circle, comprising the editors of Missou-
ri. the pct and pride. He was trusted
for his integrity and admired for his
genius. To day how wide the contrasts.
Here. In this city that has witnessed his
forensic triumphs. his literary conquest,
he comes rs a captive criminal,
q fugitive from justice apprehended in his
flight.
The changed condition and circum-
stances of this visit Of Mr.. Wilkinson to
the capital of his state cannot but COM
mand the attention of all his acquain-
tances. His humiliation and disgrace
are great, and the morbidly curious. will
watch his manner in bearing up under
this crushing weight with a strange sat
isfaction.-State Journal.

THE Graham Headlight is q well
printed, newsy and interesting paper,
aud deserves well of the community
in which It is published, and whose
interests IL aims to advance. But
the editor speaks as If its p~ecuniary
success was not yet a demonstrated
fact. This is a pity, for it ought to
meet with q c%ompensating reward.
Now, If our proposed reform were
enacted into a law. establishing the
Office of official printer for all legal
advertisements, elective by town
ships, that paper could certainly car
ry at least the township in which it
is printed, and with this legal prin-
ting, added to what it gets from gen.
eral support, 1t would be placed OH q

Squatters are settling on the old chan
mel Of the Missouri River opposite Forest
City. This includes all the territory be-
tween tho original Missouri and Kan
sas surveys, and is now dry bottom
covered by a heavy growth of timber.
Rush Island. on which these settlements
arc made should be attached to Missou-
ri. Atchison county succeeded in Sc
curing the passage Of a Joint Resolution
at the last ses sion OF the Legislature
memorializing Congress TO secure the
passage OF law addinga similar tract of
land, cut off by the Missouri River in
1870 from Nemaha county Kansas, to
Missouri. About one-third OF Rush Is
land is now within the original Survey
and therefore part OF Missouri and as the
Of the Island ispractically cut
off from Doniphan county, Kansas. it
would be better to add it to Missouri.
As 1t isnow, the Island is a sort of u No.
man's-land. and is therefore made the
base Of a grea. many illegal operations
that might he broken up by being
placed fully under the jurisdiction Of
Missouri.
