A SAD Day.

oieaiNi were consigned TO the grave
on st Michaers Day, September ooh
The services, which were most bcanti-
III, were conducted by the Rev. VIM
Bollard, Rector Of St. Michaeps Church.
Boise City. In the course of his re.
marks the preacher said:
Tits st MichaePs Day is perhaps
the saddest that ever dawned on Ida
no City. The blow which has fallen
upon one household is felt by all.
Strong men have wept upon hearing
that Anna had ceased to live. They
could not deem it possible. 1t was
too sad to be true. She was known
and beloved by all, and the home SO
long graced by her presence will nev
er seem the same. At the age Of sew
enteen, when life was but reaching
forth its joys to gladden. heart SO
pure, her sweet spirit has been sum-
moned away from earth. In all the re-
lations of life she was one of whom
fond parents might we'll be proud
She cheerfully performed the duties
of the household, and with glad spirit
she lent her aid to render becomingly
and reverently the services Of Gods
house But few weeks since. while
seated in the Sunday school, ] could
not fail to observe the EAGER, earnest
manner in which she listened to the
instructions Of her teacher AS stu
dent | have noted her diligence and
the excellence of her requirements;
and at my last visit | was requested
by her parents to make arrangements
for her entering st Helen's Hall, Port
land, that she might yet flu ther pre-
pare herself for the duties of life
Sad and terrible beyond expression
is this bereavement, yet | feel that
good will come of it--that a whole
some sense of the shortness and I'M
certainty of human life will be widely
diffused in this community, weaving
many from worldliness and vanity.
| The grief and sadness so universally
manifested are ample evidence that
the lovely spirit of our departed friend
was not without its influence III life
Therefore | feel that much good will
result from this sore calamity, its very
snddennesS forcing upon the attention
the beauty of life devoted to virtue,
and the excellence of that character
which is moulded upon divine princi-
pies. She whom we lament was, as
yoa all know, a member OF the family
of God. Only two weeks since it
was her great pleasure, in the privacy
of her own household, to unite with
| father. mother and other friends III the
Hoy Communion of the Body and
Blood of Christ. The occasion was
one of intense interest to those con-
ccrned and will remain as bright
spot in the memory all. We have no
doubt of her peace; she has but lain
down to sleep She is dead, bat in
her death there is no sting of sin.
We may well pray that we may die
as ure and unsnllied as she.
Lovely and pleasant in her life we
would do every honor to her dear
earthly remains; and, thanking God
for her good example, amid the tears,
lanents and regrets of an entire com
munity we lay her to rest until the
voice Of her Savior summons her now
cold clay TO life and everlasting peace

A Measure to be Considered.

The proceedings Of Congress for many
years past have suggested the expcdiency
of an amendment to the Constitution in re-
gard To appropriations Of money, similar to
that which was engrafted upon the Corsti-
tuition OF this State three years ago in Jan
uary. The amendment referred To provides
that II any bill shall contain several items
OF appropriation, the Governor may object 10
one or more Of such items while approving Of
the Other portion Of the BILL and that there
upon the action Of the Legislature in respect
TO the items objected 10 shall be the same as
when an entire bill ia vetoed.
The effect Of this amendment has hecn
highly salutary. 1t came into operation
when Mr.. TILDEN was Governor. At the
first session Of the Legislature under his
administration he objected to items which
aggregated nearly 100000. not one of
which, We believe, was passed over his veto.
At subsequent sessions tho sum total Of the
items objected to by him and by MIR RoBIS-
son has diminished to n comparatively
small amount. and for the plain reason that
the power OF the Governor has deferred
plunderers from resor,ing to the old prac-
tice of smuggling jobs into bills which were
necessary for carrying on the Government.
and whose main appropriations were unob-
i"ctionahle.
II the two Houses Of Congress were to pro-
pose such an amendment to the Federal
Constitution, it could be ratified by the
States before March, 1881. when we shall
have a President really elected, and not
holding the Office by fraudulent title.
Clothed with the authority conferred by
this amendment, such a President could
save the country millions Of dollars annu-
ally by erasipg extravagant or PROF gate
logrolling measures from River and Harbor
bill-, Sundry civil Service bills, and kindred
bills, which have become the receptacles Of
all sorts of johbcry aud corruption.

SQuandering at Washington.

One OF the old abuses of Congress was Mt
the close OF every session to vote tho en-
ployccs a round sum as gratuity, i'll addi-
ton TO their regular pay. That was called
llberality; but as the money came out of the
public purse, taxpayers found another name
fori 1t, and finally reform swept it away. In
the closing hours Of the lato Congress. the
Senate passed the following resolution,
when the grave and reverend seigniors were
In excellent humor with themselves aud
with the rest Of mankind
"R,,d rhatthe secretary NJ the md the Clerk
Of the House Of Repre- are hereby authorized
and directed 10 paw the committee clerks PAGES mes.
and other employees ct the House who do not
receive annual salaries their present " comrcnsa
hon, respectively tor thirty ~, the date

pay the same is hereby appropriated out o any moneys
In the Treasury othcfwie appropriated AMI shall BE
Immediately available. Further the provisions In this
resolution shall apply tn persons hng their respective
positions on the day OF Us approval"
The clerks OF committees in tho Senate re-
celve SO day, the pages $3.50 a day, and
the "other employees are graduated. The
last clause OF the resolution throws the door
wide open to a largo haul, because number
OF names might easily be added for a da y or
months pay in addition to their regular
allowance. 1t will be observed that these
favored ofilceholders are not expected 20
render any service whatever for tho money
thus recklessly voted. They have only to
walk up to the Secretary OF the Senate and
Clerk OF the House, demand their proper
tlon Of the spells, sign n receipt. ami pray
for an equally generous Congress next year.
Mr.. FINLEY Of Ohio, who Is very Jealous
and loud-spoken about reform OF the public
printing, proposed n resolution on his own
account in the House Of Representatives To
provide extra pay "for the benefit Of the
page boys" as he mildly put Il. 10 attract
sympathy. But Mr.. ROBERTS. more wary
than he, moved 70 take up the foregoing
Senate resolution, which covered FINLEY's
ground and more Reformer SPARKS OF the
Appropriation Committee spoke as follows {:

think 1t is wrong, but wall not object to It's con.
alteration
No objection was made. and it went
through with a rush. Many like SPARKS
Thought it was wrong" but still they al
lowed 1t 70 pass. The officers, clerks. mos
sengers, pages, and other employees at the
Capitol are, all things considered, about the
best paid and the least worked Of any
branch OF the public service. Yet in times
like these, when distress is SO widespread 1.
and labor finds but little reward, tens of
thousands are coolly voted away 10 pre-
ferred class, who have been receiving high
pay during the whole Forty.hith Congress.
And this is a sample Of the legislation ha-
bitually crowded into the last days Of every
session for which the people have to pay.

Gus. The accidental Presidents-Tyer. Fill

They attempted to curry favor with their oppo-

party responsible for their existence. II would
be- absurd to compare Mr.. Tilden with any Of
these modern Presidents. lie is n man whose
intellectual resources are Infinitely grentcr than
theirs and whose political genius is Of a higher
order. lie might fail where they succeeded-in
distributing the patronage acceptably but he
would also succeed where they failcd-in re-
forming abuses and preventing tho plumber OF

say Of Tilden that he ought 10 be grateful that
he was elected to the Presidency. and was OK

and reduce taxes far below their present rate.
Apart from the opportunity which II will give
him 10 enforce this policy he does not want TO
be President. and never did. The pomp and
show Of public life never had the smallest at
traction to him. and the nnttcry OF sycophants
never turned him a hairs breadth from his pur-
poses. The small creatures who are paradcd
as his friends abused his kindness. but they
never possessed his confidence II he is re-

H1PPLE-MITCHELL reports that "bands OF
wild horses belonging to tho Indians are
continually respdssing upon the farms Of
the whites" but Gen. HOWARD not long
ago reported officially that within three
weeks the Umatllas have lost over 500
horses, hurried out OF the country by white
horse thieves'-thcy probably trespasscd
within roach Of the thieves. Nipple
MITCHELL tells the Senate that hundreds
OF our people have been slaughtered by
these very Indians and occasionally Indians
are killed Ivy the whites. Whatever may be
the cause of these collisions. and am very
sure the whites are not the aggressors,
they exist" But a United States Deputy
Surveyor n short time since reported from
Umatilla that every Indian found beyond
the limits of the reservation is killed." and
Gen. HOWARD lately informed Mr.. McCRARY
that something must be done " to punish
these cod-bloodcd murders of Indians by
white men, else peace is impossible"
While H1rrLE-MlrCHELL talked 10 tho
Senate of moving the Umatillas by their
consent one Of the local papers OF his re-
gion, the Portland East Ortgonidn. disclosed
the gentle pcrsuasivcs used to prepare for
this consent, as follows:
one thing is now demonstrated VIZ The whites and
1niiaus cannot lun-cr i've together rracc The whites
Will 'hfe,k out it tcr !. rc.totcd and every
Indian found the reservation Will be- klcd and this
sn.c viii iu thi. way suou be- ended Indian agents may
cry cacc Icacc but there he cace until the
last OF the rcd demons have fallen"
At later date tho same local authority is
found using this language:
An the agents In the world ran hiring about
fo dy Zee ling between TIE whites ami Indians on this
reserve one or tue other must ~ and It taxes
tell winch o the races must .uccumb The only way
that whites can Get to preserve themselves their tire
sdcs and iucuis IS 10 have Indians removed. or Kill
them"
Perhaps tho most pitiablo feature Of this
business Is the reluctant approval by the
Indian office Of HIrPLE- MITCHELL S plans
on the ground OF the constant encroach-
mcnt of the white settlers-as miserable a
confession OF weakness as could well he
made.

ber's pay should be sufficient 10 keep him from

not so large as to be eXtrayagant. Ono thou
sand dollars was Just the proper sum. Mr.
Brooks WAS sure that the people demanded a
reduction. Mr.. FISH said that u member could
live in Albany for four months on thousand

duriion. and the resolution was adoptcd-s 81
