groom of the regular hollyhock order,
Although the car was full Of passen.
gers the pair began to squeeze hands
as soon as they were seated This OF
course attracted attention, and pretty
soon everybody was nodding and wink
ing, and several persons 80 far forgot
themselves as to laugh outright. BY
and by the broad. .shouldered and rcd
handed groom became aware OF the
fact that he was being ridiculed, and
he unlinked himself TO the height oi
six feet, looked up and down the aisle
and said "There seems to be consid
cradle nodding and winking around
here because I'm hugging the girl who
was married TO me at seven O'Clock
this morning. If the rules of this rail.
road forbid man from hugging his
wife after he's paid full fare, then I'm
going to quit, but if the rules don't
and this winking and blinking isn't
bitten short Off when We pass the next
mile.post, I'm going to begin on the
front seats and create a rising market
for false teeth and crutches !" If there
were any more winks and blinks in
that car the groom didn't catch 'em
at il.

Especial Correspondence to the Pittsburg Post
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 8, 1880,
De Golyer Garfield, nominated by
the Radical Convention at Chicago fol
the Presidency, belongs to that galaxy
of patriots known as the Credit Mobi-
lior statesmen and the evidence against
him taken in the investigation is con-
elusive and damaging. The manner
in which Oakes Ames bribod certain
members of Congress to. support his
prodigious scheme IS fresh in the pub.
lie recollection and the fate of Smiler
Colfax, who was one of the worst
smurched in the lot, is but precursor
TO that in store for De Golyer Garfield
who differs only from the Christian
statesman from Indiana, in the circum.
stance that he got smaller amount of
money,

A. | cannot tell you all we had three
or four talks: | cannot remember all
that was said,
@. How long after that transaction
did he go to Europe A. | believe it
was a year or two.
@. Did you have any conversation
in reference to influence this transac.
ton would have upon the election last
Fall2 A. Yes, hcsaid it would be very
injurious to him.
Q. What else in reference TO that ?
A. am very bad man to repeat con.
versation cannotremember
@. State all you know in reference
to it. A. | told him he knew very
well that that was dividend. Imade
out a statement and showed it to him
at the time. In one conversation he
admitted it and said, as near as l can
remember that there was s2,4OO due
him in stock and bonds. He made a
little memorandtie Of loco and ST.
400, and as reeoileet said there was
81, 900 of Union Pacific railroad stock,
81, 900 of Credit Mobilize stock and s400
of stock or bonds / do not recollect
what.
O. When was that memorandum

since this investigation commenced.
O. Was it in that conversation that
he referred to the influence tNis matter

district ? A. | do not recolleciwhether
it was in that one or some ether. /
had two or three conversations with
him.
Q, Tell us, as nearly as you can,
precisely the remarks he mado in that
connection. A. 1t was that would
injure his reputation that il was a
cruel thing He felt very bad was in
great distress, and hardly knew what

The Governors Salary.

Some persons are disposed to twit Gov.
Hamilton aud nsinuate that he is inconsis-
tent, because iorsooth, he does not recon
meHd in his last message the reduction OF his
own salary. Our venerable friend OF the
Westminster Idcocdts, and at present Sena'
tor, looks upon il in this light, and considers
S4,500 not "nomiual sum. --1aRe 1rHR-
del Adrertiser.
In repy to the Adeertiser VIC will state,
first, that Senator Vanderiord is in ne way
responsible for the course Of the ADvo-
CATE, and for eighteen months past has
written very little for it, Since he has
been a; Annapolis he has neither written
editorials for iis columns nor dire ted its
policy, aud his first knowledge Of its con
tents has been obtained after the paper
has been regularly issued.
In the second place, the ADVOCATE
does not regard the Governors salary as
too great, aud it believes that the salaries
VI but few State officials are out Of proper
ton to the services rndered The Gov
ernor laid down the principle that citizens
should render some service to the State ut
nominal remuneration, 10 his message on
new registration bill, and in his message
Of the l2,h h, advocated a reduction Of
the salaries Of many Of the State officials
These officials, with feS exceptions, per-
haps, are not receiving too much pay aud
it was only because the Governor was
striking at the salaries Of everybody else
that we suggested to him to include his
own salary ia his recommendations for re-
trenchment.
The Governor docs not regard bis salary
Us excessive, for il he did be would have
recommended reduction nor do other
officials believe their compensation too
great. Iueumbcnts rebetter able to judge
Of such matters than others, and if the
Governor held some other position, his
opinion. very likely, would accord with
that Of the incumbent, that the eompensa-
Iion il not out Of proportion TO the service
rendered.
