The Salary Grab.

The Salary Grab.
Judges Pearson and Henderson, for
whose court the people of this state
have deservedly high opinion, amply
sustain Attorney General Palmer in his
construction of the law regulating the
salary of the members of the legislature
and the attempt Of that body to make
the state pay its members $40 day for
the fifty extra days, to which they drag
out its sessions by neglect of business
and the unnecessary frequency of ad-
journments, and the breyity of sessions.
The members take their pay for seven
days of the week and work on an aver
age about three.
The court, which the present legisla-
ture chose as the tribunal for the deter
mination of this question, decides
squarely against it, with the right of the
members to appeal, Of course, of which
they will doubtless avail them
selves. Judges Pearson and Hender-
sons opinion is SO lucid that it needs
no comment. 1t depended entirely upon
the definition put upon the word salary,
and they approve that of the attorney
general and the books as we'll as the
spirit of the we'll established legal prin-
ciple that representative bodies ought
not to have the power to increase the
salaries Of their members. For to drag
out Il session to the extra length of 80
days, at $40 day, is a hardly less de-
cent way to vote themselves extra pay
than by direct grab.
The public will he glad of the opinion,
because it is in accord with their sense
of right and they will respect it, besides,
because of the very respectable authority
from which it emanates. The Patriot,
which has unsparingly denounced the at
torney general and the state treasurer
for their course in this matter says
This decision does not determine the
right of Il mere ministerial officer to take
the law in his own hands, rs State Treas.
urcr Butler did, nor does it put the seal
of approval on the attempt of the attor-
ney general to disperse the Legislature
by threatening the members with loss of
pay. These questions were not at issue
in the case before the court" Very
true, they were not !; but SO far rs they
came within the cognizance of the court
the state officials were unreservedly sus-
tained and how better they could have
done their duty than they did, or what
less they could have done, if the law is
with them, only the keepers of Harris
burg boarding houses can possibly ex-
plain.
Looking to the appeal to the supreme
court, the Patriot INDUCES in the assur-
ancc: "One thing is certain, the su-
prene court is above the reach of the
clamor of demagogues. We hope it is,
but we eau assure the Patriot that our
supreme court, in the estimation of the
people, is not a bit higher above the
reach of any improper influences than
the court of Dauphin county. Nor will
the public he convinced to the contrary
by the reversal of Judges Pearson and
Henderson, especially should it happen
by the now famous " four judges" who,
though they comprise majority in
numbers, do not make up the prepon,ler-
ance in weight.

The Legislature, of 1874 appear in enact
possible from tho language of the con-
stitution, in using the word 'tcoMPENsA-
TION'' instead of "sALARY," and not only
fixing certain sum of 81 900 for tho hun
dred days, but also per diem allowance
for the residue of tho time spent. There
was certainly no authority to fix on two
distinct modes of payment under the clause
in the constitution. We are well aware
of the fact that the constitution, as framed,
is of no avail until voted on by the people
and they may view it in one sense whilst
those who framed it intended it in another,
but there is no reason to suppose that the
same words were intended differently, and
to reach the true intent of the instrument
is to adhere to the words at nearly as prac.
ticable, unless it should cause great incon-
venience, or introduce an absurdity. We
must not be too literal in our construction,
lest we conflict with the maxim, Qui haerct
IN titterG haeret in c0rtice, but in the pres
ent case we consider the latter the wisest
course, and least likely to lead to evil or in-
convenience. In constituting a constitu-
tion We may, with propriety, look into
former instrument of tho same general
character to see the changes made, and
from them judge of what was intended. In
doubtful cases we may with propriety ex-
anime the debates to see what was actu-
all intended, and into the history of what
led to the alteration. The people look into

Garfield and Ills Adminislra-
liOu,

Washington special TO the Cincin-
natf Commercial: A prominent pub
lie man, who has recently been TO
Mentor, for consultation with Gener-
al Garfield, told your correspondent
to-day, that he conyersed fer three
hours with the Presidential and
talked Of twenty or more public men.
The discussion was in the main not
IN reference to a Cabinet place, but
upon their position in the party aud
before the country. He said that
General Garfield understood thor
oughly the rivalry of the various
wings Of the party and the object up
permost in his mind perhaps appear
ed to be the fusion of all the various
elements. He would make an honest
attempt to give each element proper
recognition, and not allow himself TO
be involved in any controversy with
his own party. He recognized the
truth of the claim that had not Gen
eral Grant and Senator Conkling
gone into the campaign when they
did, he would probably have been de-
feated, and this gentleman was led to
believe that he will treat the Grant
wing with consideration. As to per-
sons and sections, General Garfield
was SO guarded that he left without
any impression as to the States that
would be represented, except that
Iowa could have aplace in the Cabi-
net. As to whether it was to be Mr..
Wilson or Mr.. Allison or some one
else, the PreSident-elcct dropped no
hint. The name of Robert Lincoln
was talked over, and General Gar
field indicated an intention to give
some fitting recognition i'll his admin
istration not only because he consid-
cred Mr.. Lincoln a bright young man,
but because he should take pleasure
in making so graceful an acknowl.
edgment to the memory Of his father.
He did not intimate, however, hat it
would be by Offering him a seat in the
Cabinet, nor did he say it would not
be done in hal way. This gentleman
is of the opinion that it is doubtful
whether any one is taken from the
South. Many names from that sec
ton have been discussed, but no one
as yet quite fills the bill, Or else fills

Caught in a Gambling DEN.

A Washington special of Monday
says: Night before last the police
made a raid on the gambling houses OF
this city. They conducted operations
very quietly, and bagged some big
game. 1t is reported IN the streets to-
day that eight or ten Senators and mem
bers Of Congress were pulled in. THEFT
names were whispered from mouth tC
mouth, but so far they have been kept
ont Of print.
The Star Of this afternoon says that
the Superintendent Of Police gave or
ders for the demolition Of the gaming
paraphernalia seized in the late raid on
the gambling houses. The ivory chips
and deal boxes were retained as evil
dcncc, and will in due time be destoy-
ed. One of the tables was of black cbO-
ny, and it is said cost. 81. 800. There
were others considered valuable by
their owners, although they cost much
less.
There were two Senators and six
Representatives in Congress in the va
riOus houses raided. They all of course
gave false names, and protested against
being moIestcd, as they were violating
M law. The names given were taken
by the Police, and slmmOnscs issued
for their appearance next week at the
Police Court, rs witnesses against the
proprletors of the houses.
Efforts are being made to hush this
matter up.
