IHE SALARY GRABBER.-The Csmmer-
ctaa and the r publican have both fatty
denied that Hayes was salary grabber.
He was member of Congress in 1866,
but made no mark there except to draw
his back pay. The Cleveland PLAIN
DeoIer calls attention TO the fact that in
1856 the salary of members of Congress-
was raised from 5000 to 5000, by be-
ing meanly tackled upon the Soldiers
Bounty bill" To this the N. Y. World
adds The back pay grab of 1873 was
passed in bolder manner. That of 1866
was sneaked through on the popularity
OF and the public gratitude tc the SOL
drers. Governor Hayes, then a membe,
OF Congress, took the back pay, and as he
has always been most respectable man.
no doubt thought he had right to dc
It, But when he came before thepeople
for reelection General Banning, now in
Congress, beat him by about 1000 ma.
Jority In district which had been large.
ly Republican. This proved what the
people OF his district tho,ght of his
record, and how they looked upon a
saiary-grabber at that time. The Gin.
3innati nominee in fact is perfect repre-,
sentative of Grantism and evils of thu
Grant administration

The Democratic National Convention.
has fewer members than that of the. Re-
publicans because the Democrats do not
admit delegates from the Territories.
colraduis the only Territory which will
he represented at st. Louis. The reason
for this distinction is that it may be adj
mitted as State in time to vote at the
election. Thus the Democratic Conven-
ton will consist Of 738 members. Its
votes, however, are cast by States, each
State being entitled to the same ndmber
Of votes as it has Representatives and
Senators in Congress. Thus, while there
are 738 members, the total number of
votes that may be cast in the Conyen.
tion is only 800. This is the reason why
10 the reports of Democratic Conven.
tions we frequently see half votes foi
different candidates, Two-thirds of the
whole number of votes will be necessar,
to nominate candidate for President
and the man who gets 246 votes will b,
nominated.

Senator Morrill,, Of Maine, it appears,
has some difficulty about making up his
mind to abandon his snug place in the
Senate to accept Cabinet appointment
for the eight or nine months yet to ex-
pire of Grants term. This would be
very accommodating to Mr.. Blaine, and
relieve him from answering many disa-
greeable questions in the House But
would it pay Wr. Morrill, to make the
sacrifice?

Magazine Notices

Halper'S Magazine for January offers an ex-
ample of the realization of almost ideal posi-
bilities. 1t is evidently intended by its publish
ers Lot as a special or holiday number. but SIM
ply as the fulfIlment of their promise to pro-
duce the best magazine in the worlI-a promise
which they purpose to make good for every
month in the year. The immense circulation of
this periodical enables its publishers to place it
beyond the reach of rivalry, and each number
indicates new step in advance of its predeces-
sors
This number opens with valuable paper on
Contemporary Art in England, by S. G. W.
Benjamin, an accomplished author and artist,
whose art criticisms have received hearty COM
mendation from judges of eminent authority.
His paper is illustrated with twenty-three en-
gravings-portraits Of. the representative Eng
lsh artists, and reproductions of their pictures.
These reproductions are marvellous most of
them being equal in their effectiveness to the
best steel engravings. Among the pictures are
characteristic specimens OF the works of Bough-
ton. Armitage, Hook Millais, Alma Tadema
Burne Jones, Holman Hunt, Thomas Faed
Miss Thompson, Petite, Poynter and Marks.
G. Wyllys Elliott contributes very interest
ing paper, entitled "The Good Old Times" at
Plymouth, which treats mainly of the house
hold life of the Pilgrims, with illustrations of
interiors and furniture.
A Cruise among the Magdalen Islands is a
model descriptive article, with beautiful ma.
rine pictures.
Moncure D. Conway contributes thrilling
narrative of passages in the life of the late Fe-
licien David, the composer of The Desert, and
the foreruurer of Wagner-illustrated with a
portrait
Among the illustrated contributions are some
of very popular character, including poem,
The Old Deacon's Lament; short story, The
Craniologist, by john Esten Cooke, and Fizz
and Freeze, a humorous story for the little
folks. The paper entitled Recollectious of
Thackeray gives some new and interesting
glmpses of an author people never tire of read
ing about, and is illustrated with sketch i'm
provised for the writer by Thackeray himself.
Besides the exciting tale A Craniologist, al
ready mentioned, this number contains inter-
esting short stories by Lizzie W. Champney,
Mrs. Frank Mccarthy, Rose Terry Cooke, and
Harriet Prescott Spofford.
A Woman Halter has reached its seventh
part, and becomes more interesting every
month. The new serial story Erema or My
Fathers Sin, by R. D. Blackwood promises to
equal that authors earlier work, Lorna Doone,
in its thrilling situations and the quaint humol
of its Characterization.
Among the contributors Of poetry are Mrs
Zadel Buddington and r. ii. Stoddard.
The Editors Easy Chair is especially enter
tanning this month; and the other editorial de-
partment furnish admirable resumes of scient
ic progress. literary criticism, current events
and numerous anecdotes.

Another Comm ifsee Aftsr Dispatches.
The congre ssional committee on election
frauds continued its session today.
Mr.. McDougan offered resolution asking
that subpoena duceS tecaun be issued to the
president or other officers of the Western Union
Telegraph Co., requiring the production of all
kilograms sent or received through the office re
lative to the late election, by A. s. Hewitt, D.
Magone, Jr, Fernando Wood, j ohm Morrissey,
John Kelley, Smith w. Weed, Jr.. and w. D.
Pelton.
MT. Cox, chairman, said he could not enter
tain this resolution in its present shape, as they
were empowered to inquire as to the cities of
New York, Brooklyn, Jersey City and Phila-
delphia.
Messrs. McDougall and Weld argued that
the resolution should pass in its present shape,
as they had information that many dispatches
were sent in very dubious ways
Mr.. Waddell offered by way of substitute a
resolution providing that subpoe mas be issue d
requiring the president or other officers of the
Western Union and Atlantic and Pacific tele-
graph companies to produce before the commit
tee all the telegrams sent or received by the
same parties relating to fraudulent registration
and fraudulent voting at election of Presiien-
tial electorstors or members of Congress in the
four cities above named on the 9TH of Novem-
Der last.
The substitute was adopted by vote of 8 to
2, the Republican members voting against it.
Mr.. Waddell moved that the substitute be re-
considered tomorrow and.this also was adopt
ed.
1t was also resolved that subpenas be issued
to witnesses in New York, Brooklyn, Jersey
City to morrow.
Subpenas were issned for G. A. WILDER and
Franklin j. Olterson, and the committee ad-
journed till tomorrow.
