THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, ON
THE PAY MEMBER.o OF
THE LEGISL AZURE.

Attorney General Palmer, the law
officers of the Commonwealth, rendered
a decision last week to the effect that
the pay of members of our Legislature
is limited by the Constitution of the
State to salary, and that any per d.
EN- or other pay is therefore unconsti-
tutional. The Constitution says "the
members shall receive such salary" per
session "as shall be fixed by law and
no other compensation whatever
This would seem to be plain provi-
sion of the new State Constitution
But the Legislature Of 1874, whose
duty it was to carry it out. and have
said salary fixed by law" seems
to have done 80 in very peculiar
manner. For the act of 1874, after fix
ing the compensation or salary Of men,
bers at one thousand dollars per ses-
sion, undertook to say in effect, that
one hundred and fifty days should
compose session; and that if the
Legislature continued in session more
than zone hundred days" that then
"ten dollars per dieni," should be al
lowed each member for period mot
to exceed fifty days at any one session."
The most singular thing about this, and
that was noticed at the time, was that
ten dollars day was just the same
amount, in proportion, that one thou
sand dollars had been for the hundred
days So that il they continued in
session more than the hundred days
they received just the same amount Of
pay daily for the following fifty days
that they in fact received for any ofthe
previous hundred days. And the eff
feet of this clearly unconstitutional law
of 1874, has been what every one who
had any knowledge of our Legislature
knew 1t would be. to wit, equivalent
to fixing the salary Of each member at
Gfieen hundred dollars For it could
not be hoped that majority Of men,
bers of any Legislature would forcgo
the opportunity of extending the ses-
sion beyond the hundred days" aud
into and very probably through the re-
naming Fifty days" thus provided
for. And thus another effect was to
always lengthen session to or near to
one hundred and fifty days.
But Attorney General Palmer's de-
cision is confined to the single point,
that the act Of 1874 could not give
any per diem pay, and that in CIV
ing that, in addition to the SALARY" it
fixed at 81 900, it exceeded the pro-
vision of the constitution on the sub
jcct That be is right, every disinter-
ested person must see and admit. The
only wonder il that the constitution
has been permitted to be violated so
long. The evil effects of the act of
1874 have been to the extent of max
ing members careless of their duties.
The members OF the present Senate
and House will now likely go to work
and at least stay at their post and
cndcavor to complete all necessary
legislation within the hundred days,
as beyond that time they can receive
no extra per diem pay.

According to the telegraphlc re-
ports in the dailies of Monday the two
York State U. s. Senators, will oppose
the confirmation of Judge Robertson
who has been nominated by the Pres
ident for the Collectorship of customs
at New York city. Judge Robertson
is said to be an able and honest man.
He served several terms with Garfield
in Congress, is now member Of the
York State Senate and has been unani-
mously indorsed by the York State
Legislature, both Senate and Assembly
The Custom House at New York is the
great national toll gate, more goods are
imported into the country through the
port of New York, and pay duties there,
then at all the other ports and custom
houses of the country, and it seems to
US very great presumption for the
U. S. Senators from any one State to
TO attempt to control it, in aid of their
own political interests.

Death Of Col. Roberts Of Titus
villa

Col. f. A. l.. Roberts, Of Titus, lille
brother of State Senator Roberts. died
Friday morning last in that city. Col.
Roberts was not quite 6fiy-two years
old Although his health was bad, his
death was sudden and unexpected. He
was the inventor ofthe oil well torpedo,
and grew immensely rich in the manu-
facture and sale of the torpedo. He
was Lieutenant Colonel of the Twenty
eighth New Jersey Volunteers. At
the battle of Fredericksburg he saw a
she'll fall into miil-race and burst,
almost emptying the race of water at
that point Although on the way to
battle, the inventor was strong within
him, and he was seized with the idea that
this bursting force might be utilized to
blast the way to the buried seas Of
OIL In 1861 be took out his first
patent on the torpedo, and soon follow
ed it with improvements which made it
graud success He obtained heavy
damages from many oifproduccrs who
used infringements on his patents in
their wells. He and his brother DR.
| w. b. Roberts, who was his partner in
the patent and in the banking business,
| become enormously rich, and the new
dead man spent large sums to advance
the interests of Titusvile. He was a
heavy owner of real estate in Titusville
and owned some oil territory The
| bulk of his wealth, however, was in his
patent, aud it is difficult to estimate its
value exactly. His income was sever
al hundred thousand dollars annually,
He was director in the Pirtsburgs,
Tltusville and Buffalo railroad, anur
for Auditor General on the Greenback
ticket at the last election. He was a
genial, open-hearted gentleman, pub
lic-spirited citizen and will be greatly
missed in the community where he has
made and spent SO much monny.

Condition of the President.

President Garfield is recovering slowly from
his recent and almost fatal relapse, and the
subject of removing him from the White House
is being again agitated. The PATIENTS still very
weak, the parotid gland continuing to srppur-
ate and las not commenced to heal; neither has
the bullet wound improved much. The most
hopeful symptoms are the patients growing
appetite, the healthy condition of his stomach,
and the readiness with which the food he par
takes of is assimiated. On the I'd inst. he took
some soup. and chcwod piece of stewed
squirrel, and asked for more, but It was not
deemed well to acceGe to his request. Secrc-
tary Blaines dispatches to Minister Lowell are
of a more hopeful character and every body
about the capitol is inspired with renewed con-
fdence in the final recovery of the President.
The patient will be removed to Long Branch as
soon as possible to avoid the malaria which has
been detected in the atmosphere about the
White House.
Saturday night (the 4th) the President had
two attacks of vomiting; but no specially bad
the accumulation Of phlegm in the throat, and
not by any gastric disturbance. That the pa
TENTS condition was not affected was shown by
the fact that, very soon after he called for and
partooll Of food which was retained on his
stomach.
The question of the Presidents alleged in
ability to perform tie duties of his Office, and
of the propriety Of calling in the Vice President
to assume the work of the presidential Office
have been formally discussed by the cabinet,
but no formal action was taken. It is under
stood that majority of the members of the
cabinet are decidedly of the opinion that no oc-
casion exists, even to take up the subject in a
formal manner.
