Os Saturday last in the House Of Repre-
fixing the salary Of Senators and Congress
men at $1,000, the same as at present
The section of the bill which proposed to
reduce the annual compensation of the
President from 500, 900, as is now provided
for by an act of Congress passed in 1873
down To the original salary of S25, 600, was
adopted by vote Of 1913 yeas TO ~ nays
This bill, so Ear as reducing the pay OF the
President from fry thousand dollars TO
the old standard of trenty.f fire thousand,
III not pass the Senate, and even il il did,
Gr,ui would promptly veto it for the plain
Ruu simple reason that he signed The bill
known as the back pay bill, by which his
annual salary was increased to doubte it's
original amount, and for the additional
reason that one year ago he rctoed bill To
res.oie the salary back to $500 AL
though the salary of the President, until
the passage of the Infamous back-pa act
Of 1878. which proved to be the political
grave Of hosts OF Democrats AS well as Re-
pnbicans who voted for it, had always
been s25. 900, still it is All open question for
he decision OF Congress whether it is
uficient even for Tilden, with bis barrels

ALIVE IN AN AIR TIGHT CoFFTN.-Tho
body of "a tnau " ho went To California to
regain his heaiih, was recently shipped in
a metallic coffin for his iul ,ner home IN the
East. When The Central Pacific train ar
rived at Ogden Junction the corpse was
Consigned tn the Union Pacific Express
Company and placed under the charge ur
the Express Messenger, Frank Burgess
W lille the train was IN The western part of
Nebraska, Mr.. Burgess heard Sounds from
the coffin that led him to believe that ;he
dead man had come to life. /. WAS in the
night, and lie heard the sound as he lay
doing and half asleep. Again the noise
WAS heard, and the attention of the mes
senger was riveted 10 the coffin and the
horiible possibility that the dead might be
alive thrust itself upon the messenger 81,
fncibly that he called the attention of
other employees to il, bat after listening "A
moment, they merely laughed at him
The CONVICTIONS cf the express messenger
however, were so strong that he hcaii
means from the coffin that he had the case
opened when the train made it's next halt
The weather was very cold and upon the
& lass plate of the cuifin there had accunu
lated a thin finn of frost, such as might
have been deposited by the breath of "a per
son confined in such narrow quarters The
face was also drawn up against the glass
plate, and other disturbances indicate,

man, though dead then, had been alive in
the coffin. the other employees explained
the accumulation of fiost on the glass as
the natural exlIaltations Of tie dead body,

A private dispatch from Chicago says
wbeE the cuffin reached its destination and
was opened. the hands of the corpse were

the truth when he aid that Packard, the

have added, as he well knows from his

WE published last week the names of
tho honorable gentlemen comprising the
Electoral Commission to ascertain the re-
suit of the Presidential election. AS a
matter Of course the first difficulty in their
way was the vote of Florida. III regard to
which able and exhaustive arguments we've
delivered before the Commission on Satur.
day aud Monday by The coun:cl on each
silo-Judge Black. of this State, Charles
O'Connor, Of New York, and MerIick of
Washington City, representing the Dem
ocra,ic electors, while VIM. NJ. Evar.s, and
+. w. Stough,on, both Of New York aud
Judge Mathews, of Ohio. appeared for the
Republican electors. The vital question
10 be determined by the Commission is
whether it will go behind the certificate oi
Sicarns, of Florida, in favor "f the Hayes
electors and ascertain What votes were
east and who were honestly chosen electors
This is the important question 10 be deter
mined by the comm ission, and on its sOlu-
iion will dppend the Presidential issue.
AZ this huur "Wednesday, ) p. N we are
without any adviccs a. to the conclusion
reached by the Commission, but hope to be
able Ia announce it before we 60 10 press
on Thursday evcring. Whatever the out
come may be tie country must and will
submit To it.
p. s. The Electoral Commission, by a
vote Of 8 to !, decided on "Wednesday after
noon that it wou'd n0t receive any evidence
outside Of the electoral certificates from
Florida but that il rouii receive evidence
nn tl,c question of the eligibility of +. {.
Humphreys, one of the Hayes electors from
that State, and that the argument of cuun-
sci on both sides would be heard on that
day. Humphreys is said To- have held an
office under the Uuitcd States at ,he time
or his election, and was therefore precisely
III the same position as Watts, one of the
:hree Hayes elections in Oregon. The Com
mission would render it's decision on Thurs.
day OF to-day, and on it's final determine
tiou hangs "all the law and the prophets"
So far az the Presidential uncertainty il
concerned. This is the very latest news
on this important question which We are
able to furnish our readers.
