Answers Called for.

AUGUSTA, July II, 1873.
To the Editor Of the heAnebec Journal.
la the Journal of June 9Th appe ired the follow
would please answer:
81 notice 10 the STANDARD occasionally an article
informing It's readers how much better IL would
be for the people 10 have democratic rule than
republican aud that by so dong their taxes would
be less, and talk of this kind which they them
selves know to be false.
What want to ask the Standard is this, and |
want IT to explain fully TO its readers why in the
democratic city of New York where democracy
pure and unaduiterated prevails, that the salary OF
the Board of Aldermen Of that city is more than
the salary OF all the State officers of this State
all the Judges of the supreme Court, all of the
County Attorneys of the several couuties all of
the Judges and Registers OF probate OF the six
teen counties and stl thousands of dollars left
after paying these numerous officials"
have not vet seen any answer in the columns of
the Standard to the above communication, from
your correspondent in your paper Of some five
weeks ago.
Your correspondent might have continued his
inquiries by asking why the democratic parry of
New York city pays its Commissioner of Jurors a
yearly salary of $4,000, aud all the clerk hire
that he wants; why they pay their coroncrs yeai
ly salary Of $1,000 each; why when the re-
publican legislature of that State in 1877, passed
bill reducing the exoIbitant salaries of the officials
OF New York city that democratic governor We
toed the measures why when the legislature OF
last winter passed bill reducing The salaries of the
officials 81 that city to the amount Of one million
dollars, the democratic governor again vetoed
the measure. Democratic papers for wears in tbi.
as well as other States, have made great amount
of talk about the number of EMPLOYEES Of the
House Of Representatives at Washington and
the needless expense of the same: the
democrats have had control Of that BODY for the
last three years, and win the STANDARD please in.
form its patrons, to what extent the number of il.
emp loyees have been reduced and ITS expenses
lessened When the Standard will carefully and
fairly answer the above questions we will pro.
pound few more Of similar character.

4 Sample of the Southern Claims.

The necessity OF "A provision in the Con-
stitution to protect the Treasury against the
multitude of claims held by people in the
South for damages incurred by the Union
armies in the prosecution of tae late war,
becomes more and more obvious as the de-
termination of those holding such claims 10
secure their payment and the growing dispo-
sition of the dominant element of the Dem
ocratic party in Congress to pay them, are
disclosed There is nothing which lives 70
long and increases through 80 long number
of years as claim against the Government.
The original sufferers (9) grow old and die,
and sons and grandsons may 90 the way OF
all the earth, but the claim held by the ia
Their is transmitted to generation after gencr-
alton. increasing through all the years, not
only by the natural accumulation of unpaid
interest. but in the number and value of tie
items which made up the original claim.
The claim Of Mrs.. Eliza Ileber of Plaque
mine parish, Louisiana, affIrds a fair illus
tration of the nature AMI the growth of the
hundreds of Southern war claims which will
be pressed upon Congress when few have
been granted by way of precedent. In 1873
Mrs. Ileber presented her claim to the South
ern Claims Commission. The charge was
that the property which she gave in bill of
particulars was taken and used by United
States troops under Gen. Payne. The fol
lowing is u copy of the bill presented in
1873:

claim as sent To the Democratic House:

1900 cords wood at "a &C per cord 1000
lot lumber, slaves, pickets, etc. 10000

80 hogs at $50 800
) choice mich cows $40
20 head Of cattle $40
| lot of poultry 100
Fencing on plantation destroyed 5000
Total Si1 ,91j
We leave our readers to compare the items
in the two claims and to make their own IN
ferences. But this was not the end of the
matter. In the House, the claim was sent to
the Committee on War Claims, of which
Mr.. Eden (Democrat) OF Illinois is Chair
man, and after Consideration Mr.. Caldwell
tDemocrat) Of Kentucky reported that Mrs.
Eliza Heber should be paid as full compen-
sation for all her claims for property and sup
plies taken as aforesaid, the sum OF 1913, :
80" or $3.50 more than the total of her
previous claim Which the Claims Commission
had rejected. Gen. Payne was examined
with reference 70 this claim. He declared it
ateard, laying that It was impossible for a
force Vi twD thousand men in two weeks t.
nase burned 90 much wood and cOnsuLned 50
much corn.
The above clam is a sample Of thousands
which will be prc7,,l and pail whenever
Congress commits itself u that policy. The
action Of the Democratic Committee war
rants the conclusion that that time will
have arrived whenever Congress is strongly
Democratic in both branches. The door Of
the Treasury cannot be closed too early or
too securely against such pillasers. The
means of preventing such wholesale plumber
is a question for Republicans especially to
consider.

The suhniaizaa Railroads.

1t was foreseen when Mr., Thurman
carried his two measures ut the last ses
sion, first requiring the UDion and Central
Paclhc railroads to adjust their obligations
to the Government on fixed and positive
basis, and, secondly, appointing an auditor
OF railroad accounts under the Interior
department, to prescribe system of an.
nual and other reports for all railroads
subsidized in land or money, with AUTHORITY
to exanine their books and accounts, tina,
the corporations would resort to everv
expedient to resist and TO defeat the oper-
alton OF these just laws.
Their first act after the adjournment of
congress was to raise the rate of freight
transportation heavily, although the pre-
vious tolls we're extortioDate as compared
with other roads. Holding huge mo-
nopolv, the owners determined TO exercise
their power 10 the most udious aud OBJ
presslve way, forgetting, as nIonopolists
often do, that this revengeful policy
would, in the long run, react against their
own interest, and provoke Steiner treat
ment by congress-. v-

an employe at the Richmond, was

ing, while on the way home from his
work. When opposite the lumber yard
on South Main street two men, neithe r
of whom he recognized, sprang out
from the shed, and one struck him
yer the head with some blunt instru
ment, knocking him down, after which
they kicked him until he was insensi-
bic. He revived after their departure,
and managed to reach his residence.
A doctor was sem for, and his injuries,
which were quite severe, attended TO.
He has no idea as to the identity of his

solution IS a very poor consolation to

District.

The San Francisco Alta has the fol-
lowing: tine business of yesterday
was, strange to say, principally given
TO Ophir in the Comstock region, and
Eureka Consolidated in the Eureka
District. The former met with a still
further depreciation from the day be-
fore, selling at one time as low as S27%,
a recession of nearly $40 in less than iS
hours, while the other advanced to 500,
being an improvement of nearly $40
per share in the same period. 1t is re-
markable that the principal activity OF
the market i confined to these two
stocks, situated in entire different dis
tricts, and we are almost willing to &C
cept the theory as the correct one, that
there is a disposition to transfer the
business from the Comstock To Eureka
District, until such developments are
made in the former locality as will
justify the investment of means and
The expenditure OF time.

The employ es of the +. Il p. r. r D.,
those running on the freight trains,
were surprised at the last payday by
the unlocked for generosity of the
company. Their labors have been
very arduous during the last month,
the immense amount OF freigh hit offering
taxing the road's capacity to the ut
most, and keeping the boys at work
day and night. Superintendent Everts,
rs a recognition of their faithful per
tormance of their duties, paid each and
every one 4 liberal sum for their extra
time, a totally pected remunera-
ton. They are loud in his praise, not
so much on account OF the coin, but
from the fact that their esteemed SUI
p~erintendent appreciates their services.
The act is in marked contrast with the
action of the c. p. L. II. magnates
who, when their force labored day and
night to clear the road during "A snow
blockade, refused to allow their ever
worked employees a cent extra compen
sation. Mr.. Everts' kind consideration
and graceful act will be gratefully re
membered.
