EThe Wheeling Inteligencer of th

FThe Wheeling Intelligencer of the
Oath ult says:
Seen. Garfield voted against and
fought The salary glab in the committee,
and on the f>or OF the House, and when
it was carried against his protest he re-
fused to draw a dollar OF his share OF it,
hut was among the first to cover it into
the Treasury Of the United States"
When Mr.. GARFIELD presented the re-
port of the Conference on the Salary
Grab, Mr.. HIBBARD inquired how much
plumber the proposed increase would
take from the Treasury:
Mr.. GARFIELD do not accept the
gentleman's statement as to that. 1t
may be an unwise expenditure in some
respects. But in most cases THE INCREASE
Is PROPER AND OUGHT TO BE MADE. 1t is
not "plunder," unless gentlemen here
consider themselves not deserving of the
proposed pay.
Here is the official report of that part
Of the proceedings, March 8, 1878:
Mr.. GARFIELD rose to privileged
question, and presented the report Of
the committee OF conference on the dis.
agreeing votes of the two houses on the
amendments to the bill III. R. No. g.
991). the legislative appropriation bill.
Mr.. Garfield called the previous ques-
ton on agreeing to this report, which
was seconded-yeas 1l8; nays not
counted. The main question was then
ordered-yess lO3; nays "a, not voting
So.
The main question-upon agreeing to
the conference report--was then taken,
and the report adopted: Yeas 1O2, nays
95, not voting 43
Mr.. GARFIELD voted for the bill on it's
passage, therefore it was not "carried
against his protest. but by his vote and
consent After the passage Of the bill,
Mr.. GARFIELD moved to reconsider
this vote, and also moved to lay the mo-
ton to reconsider on the table, which
was agreed to.
Thus we see that Mr.. GARFIELD engi-
neered the bill to its passage, and theu
clinched it by his motion to reconsider.
He returned his part Of the "grab,'
after a meeting of his constituents, ir
, Trumbull County, had by series o.
resolutions demanded his resignation
Here is one OF the resolutions, adop.ed
on March 26, 1878:
Resolved, That James A Garfield, by
his voting for the retroactive salary bill
has forfeited the confidence of his con
, stituents, and therefore We, the represen
tatlves Of the Republican party ofTrum'
bull County, in Convention assembled
ask him to resign his office as Represen
: tative in Congress. -.
) Had Mr. GARFIELD "fought the salary
grab in the committee, and on the aool
of the House," is it at all reasonable t
suppose that the Republicans of .Trum
, bull County would have taken the abov,
action2
The readers of Republican papers arr
furnished statements like the above from
the Intelligencer. and, as many Of then
never read papers of opposite politics
! believe that they are true. When caus
is attempted to be sustained by sucl
means it must be in desperate condi
tion.

Onnosed to Change.

New York, 19-The Sun, on Dow
ney's proposed constitutional amend
ment, says: A tide of emigration from
Europe and from the eastern states Is
pouring into the territories. One after
another we see these territories come into
the Union as states, by virtue of the
population. At most, it can be but few
years before all of them, with the solitary
exception of Alaska, or Of Alaska and
Washington Territory, will be added
Why disturb this process through which
all the other territories have passed? 1t
is not worth while, and Downey needs
patience, not a constitutional amendment.

The CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY.

While it is true that the present pros
poets Of the Canadian Pacific Railway are
anything but rose-colored, and while it is
difficult to see how that enterprise can be
made self-supporting, the experience of
this country in railroad building ought to
warn us against the danger of lghtlylridi.
culing new undertakings of this character
in advance. Nothing can be urged against
the feasibility of the Canadian road which
was not at one time urged against our own
Pacific Railroad. We need not go outside
this State even to find abundant evidence
of the most widespread skepticism as to
the success of that project, while at the
East it was for a long time sneered and
jeered at as perfectly absurd attempt.
and the most tremendous arguments were
framed to demonstrate the impossibility
of its ever paying. All that is now alleged
against the Canadian Pacific the inclem-
ency of the climate, the engineering diff
culties, the want of population, has been
employed before, and every one of these
objections has been made by events to
look simply ridiculous. 1t is, therefore,
prudent to refrain from passing judgment
in advance upon the Dominion enterprise.
1t may prove failure, as predicted. But
