The Mileage of Members of Congress.
Thb published report of the mileage allowed to
member of the National Congress has caused
a natural surprise and no small Iriitsnation
amoiiR too taxpayers. It seeiun as thonsli the
rule by which distances were settk"!, ami rites
per mile allowed, was merely an arWrarv one, to
be altered, increased, or diminished at the whim
of the Chairman of the Committee having the
matter in hand. We have read with a-aonish.
mcnt the rats set down as chur&re 1 bv railroad
companies for conveying an individual Irora
Washington to hid home. In some cases the
mileage amounts to a small fortune. The mem
ber from WabUinelon pets $12,03'.), from Cali
fornia $10,C02, and so on, while their salario?
only amount to $'!000 for the term. It would
seem as thoueh the salary were a peniuhits,
and the mileage their chief means ot support.
Not only is the sum thus pi id mormon?, b it
there are evident discrepancies in the distribu
tion. Mr. Garfield, of Ohio, called attention
to the fact when he give notice of Ins intention
to offer a resolution directing the Cororuitte ou
Mileugo to examino and report what discre
pancy there was between the amount of nnl"ii?a
received by members of the last Congress and
the amount claimed by them, and directing the
Committee to allow no more mileage in future t
a member than is claimed by him. He explained
the reason why he wished the resolution to be
adopted. On look'mR into Executive document
No. 125, showing the pay and mileaae of mem
bers for the last Congress, he found h'melt' net
down as being paid for 2740 miles ol travel,
being for 685 miles fo ir times, wherein he hal
only claimed, in answer to the circular sent
him by the Chairman of the Coin uit'ce on
Mileage, 5C.rj miles as the distance troni his
home to Washinatau; that, multiplied by (our,
would make the number of miles lor which he
should have been paid 2203, so that h? was paid
for 4S0 miles more than he had claimed. He
found now, on inquiry, that other members from
Ohio, and perhaps from all parts ol the country,
had been allowed mire mileage than they had
claimed. Ths geitlemin from Cleveland (Mr.
Spauldino) claimed for onty 510 miles and was
allowed 034; and his colleague (Mr. Schesck)
claimed for only 083 milej. and was allowed for
812. The lettsrs in which they stated tie num
ber of miles travelled, in reply to the circular of
the Chairman of Ihe Committee on Mlltge, he
found In the rooms of the Serzeaut ar-Arms, in
dorsed, with the increased number of miles, "ap
proved, J. W. V."
It would thus seem as though the ratio of dis
tances has a sort of sliding scalp, which could
be either elongated or diminished at pleasure.
A sort of invisible cnp'wns applied by Mr. White,
and cities either repelled or attracted, as thouah
he was a gieantlc loadstone. It is also iijtica
able that Uip members coming from the same
place do not receive the same pay. We suppose
that the distance from the depot may account
for the difference, as it would seem that every
square was carefully added in the count. Let us
instance a few cases. Senator Axtiiohv, o1'
Rhode Island, receives $720, while Mr'
Dixon gets but $640. It would thus seem
as though an expense of $80 was incurred in
travelling from Washington to Providence.
Again, W. D. Kelley got $230, while (i. P.
Miller receives $708. Wo had no idea that the
Pennsylvania Railroad charged $478 to go from
our city to the State capital. Mr. Hubbard, of
Iowa, gets $3200, Mr. Allison $2238, and
Mr. Gbinnell $1428, a considerable difference
for so small a State, lion. James Brookes, of
New York city, receives $370, while Mr. Chan
ir.Rgets $37700, the extra dollar aud sixty cents
being probably allowed tor the street cars. L.
W. Ross, ot Illinois, trets $2265, while J. S. Rol
l'in b, of Missouri, who certainly lives further
from Washington than Mr. Ross, but $2065. Mr.
Samuel J. Randall receives $221, and Mr.
Charles O'Neill $23040. Probably the horse
car explanation accounts for the extra expendi
ture ot $6-40. But we could multiply instances
without number. There seems to be a total and
universal disregard for anything like uniformity.
What we now need is a remedy. When we
lind figures set down as the necessary cost of
travelling such as the following, we require no
logic to expose the fallacy and falsity ot theextor.
inglaw: To so from Philadelphia to Wa-hington
and return costs $115,20, or to eo to Washington
$57"60; to go from New York to the capital,
$182; trom Boston. $374; from Cincinnati, $5u0;
from St. Louis, $s77; from Chicngo, $072; from
Racine, $1056; from Sacramento, $5194; anl
from Idaho, $6102.
' We would suggest that the surest method of
being Just to both members and taxpayers is
to have an increase in the salary paid to Con
gressmen, so those who live near and those who
live tar away may all be allowed the sane.
Then it $10UO, or even move, was to be the an
nual allowance, and mileage abolished, it would
save immensely to tha Government, and at the
same time auc;mmodato a large number of
members. H i a radical error w'uieh li.is
prompted us to give our representatives a pit
tance utterly insufficient to enable th2ui lo meet
the demands. Many men of rave merit are thus
deburred from endeavoring to succeed hi the
political arena, and those of straightened means
who do accept, ure compelled to sustain them
selves by means of perquisites dubiously se
cured, if not equivocal in their character. Wo
throw out a tauteleH temptation to men in po wer,
and do not seek to shield thein from it by doing
them justice.
Let us then have an 'increase of salary, and an
abolition of mileage. As It at pre3ent exists it is
most unfair. There is hardly any law which
will remedy it if it continues; and as it is a
naiorloua fact that all the companies pass mem
bers free of charge, we are at a ions to see the
necessity for it under any circumstances. Let
this department of the Augean stable be cleansed,
us it is offensive to the public.
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY,
The Crime of the Rebellion lu Attempt
to Perpetuate Slavery
A Democratic paper says, by way of reproach,,
that the Republicans regard the great crime of
the Rebellion to have been "the attempt of the
Southern States to assert their Independence,
for Vie purpose of perpetuating negro slavery."
No doubt, not only the Republicans, but man
kind eeocrally will so regard it. The moral
character of a revolution, cr an attempted revo
lution, must be drtermtned mairjJ.jr by the ma
lice which inspire It. The mere desire ot inde
pendence is not necessarily wrong. An oppressed
people have always a good and sufliciet.t motive
for desiring to be independent of their op
pressors. But in the case of the South there
was no moral justitica'.ion for their attempted
revolution.
They were suffering no wrong. On the con
trary, their revolution whs expressly gotten up
to perpetrate a most gigantic wrong. Its sole
obiect was to perpetuate a uatclul system of
bondace, rind to make African slavery the
"corner-stone of a new empire. This was
indeed a crime against humanity. It was such
a revolution as ought not to succsed anywhere.
Its motive must forever stamp the seal of in
famy upon it. History will most surely pass
tho Judgment that the "great crime" of the
Slaveholders' Rebellion wat, that it was for the
purpose ot perpetuating neero slavery.
Death ot (General Lewis Cass.
The papers of this morning announce to us the
death of General Lew is Cass, and on tho inside
ot our paper will be found an extended biogra
pliy of 1he o'eceascd. With this departure
another ot the pillars of the Slate has fallen,
d'enernl Cass has been intimately associated
with all ihe political changes of the nation for
ocrhalf a century, lie wa Cabinot Minister
under lour administration", and ever proved
himself a ttatesmau and a patriot. Of all the
original Cabinet of Mr. Buchanan he was ihe
only one who remained loyally true to the
cause ot the Union, and resigned his office when
treason was avowedly in the ascendant. There
was nonp more generally kDown and appro,
ci'ited throughouljthe Northwest, aud his dath,
full cf honor and years, is an affliction to the
nation as well astohiihost'of personal lricnds.
The 'Ticaties ol 1815."
Tije "Trcuties of 115," which are now so fre
quenily alluded to, are those which were made
at Vienna, by all ihe lcadinir powers of Europe,
atier the downfall of Koxafaui"-:. They are
therefore a standing monument of the over
threw of his dynasty. They were signed by
Austria, Fr.uice. England, Russia, Prussia,
Spain. Portugal, aud Sweden. They mad? a
spneral reconstruction of the territory of
Europe, pwollin' out the people to this and
that sovereign without any reference to n ition
alities or to the wishes of those who were thu3
arbitrsiily placed under foreign sovereigns.
Many of Iho changes made at that time have
since been modified, but the map of Europe re
mains essentially as then agreed upon.

of the Board of Ileallu to ltroy the
Poison.
Four deaths from cholera hav been reported
to the Board ot Health since the last issue ot the
Tribune. We shall endeavor briefly to give a
history ot these cases, giving the facts as re
corded at the Bureau of Vital Statistics:
DEATH IN WAVKRLKY PLACK.
Mr. Rufus Purkee arrived in the city last
Thursday morning from Grafton, Rensselaer
county, and after breakfasting, wenttoatrieud's
house at No. 127 Waver ley place. During ttie
evening of that day he wandered around among
the cleanlier thoroughfares, spending some time
in Fifth avenue and Madison square, and finally
returninir through Fourth avenue, Union square,
aud University place to the residence ot his
friend. He passed the night comfortably, arose
early, took a light brcakiast, and started down
town. Belore rcachine his destinaoa he was
violently attacked by a profuse diarrhoea, which
rapidly increased in copiousness, and si pros
trated him that ho was unable to return. He
was tinaDy placed In a carnairo and driven
home, stiDorinsr throughout the entire distance
from uncontrollable rice-water and albumin hi
discharges.
At noon the patient fell into a state of col
lapse from which there was no reaction, anl at
10 o'clock Friday evening, alter an llluos of le
than 11 hours, ho died. Mr. Durkce was fully
conscious even at the moment of dissolution,
and teplied to questions until his ctrensth v.-as
utttily exhausted, with the clearness of one in
perfect health. The house in whieli Mr. Durkee
died is said to have been admirably kept and
cleanly in every respect. His habits were eood,
and there was no mdiscrction of aov kind upon
his part, solar as tho sanitary ollicers could
learn. The usual precautious for preventing the
spread ol the Inlection were taken bvthe taunt v.
Lislnicetnnts were thoroughly used, and thus
lar there has been no other case reported la the
neighborhood.

CASE AT THE CORNT.B OT O.UI AND TEARL STREETS.
Intelligence was received at the Bureau of
llecords, on Saturday aitetnoon, oi the illness
ol Mrs. Arn Donne;, at No. 1 Oak street. The
case was reported as cholera, but the patient
was alive at 5 o'clock last eveuincr. The house
is exceedingly rilth.v. and the neighborhood just
such a one as cholera would select. The dis
tiiet i-i in the bands ot the Board of Health, and
will be thoroughly disinfected.
TI1E CHOLERA AT QUARANTINE.
The cholera still lingers auiong the passengers
by the Peruvian, now on board the huls lLiiiois,
while it has been entirely suppressed among
'hose by the Union. On Friday t'ie bedding on
the Illinois was washed, aud the oteamships
Peruvian and Union mniigaied and white
washed. Three deaths have occurred on the
hospital-ship Falcon since last report, namely:
Klse Marie Larsen. age! 2 . Denmark; Cus'tine
Neilson, aged 25, Denmark; Mngdaleua Klsse,
atred 00, Austria. A convalescent was also
transferred to the Saratoga, leaving forty-live
under treatment.
INSTRUCTIONS TO CAPTAINS OF TOLICE.
Piesident Schultz, of the Board of Health,
called the captains ot the various piecmcis
together, on Saturday at uoou. aud crave them
instructions in their duties under the Health
code, concerning infectious and pestilential dis
eases. Medical officers will be kept in attend
ance at headquarters, day and irght, whose
duty it will he to start at a moment's warning
with a cartload of disinfectants, to be ued iu
any house where cholera niav occur. The cap
tains are required to report by telegraph every
ca-e that conies to their notice. The patient
will be tieated, if no other phvgieian be at hand,
by the Sanltarv Inspectors, while the same olli
cers will crive directions for the use of disinteet
ants. It is the intention cf tbe Board to treat
every case promptly, and to disinfect all the
ejections and ejections of patients, thus
destroying the poison while at the same time
they furnish tho sick with the best remedies
known to nieaicil men. They hope by this
means to save the lives of many who may be
attacked, and also to prevent the' spread of the
inlection. The plan, wc doubt not, will com
liieud itself to the discreet, and will, we trut-t,
be entirely successlul, it fully and energetically
carried into ofleci by the executive onicers of
the Board. JV, Y. lribwie.
A Fortunate Artist.
The rail Ma'l Gazette has the folio A iug:-' M.
Couihet, the French artist, is another instance
o a man who awakes one line morninir to tiud
himself iamous. For several years pat he das
been paintirg pictures which only now and then
were admitted at the salon, and ot which nobody
took any notice. But the tide lhat lead- on to tor
tune has come at la-t. This year he .-ends his 'La
Ftmnie an Pcrroquet' to tbe Exnihitioii, and all
at once Hmls himself the lashiou ol the hour.
He sells this painting for "0U0 irancs. A stock
broker gives him li.ooii Irancs for a laudseape,
nKo in the salon, called La Remise des Cbe
vreuilH,' adding, at the same time, a commission
on equally tood terms tor a picture of a naked
Eve of tho same size as the other uu le rigors
teasine the parrot. The 'Fenmies Damnees.' a
painting which was reiused by the hantriug com
mittee three years aire, has' also been sold lor
12,0(10 (rimes, and several landseaocs at from
6000 to 12,000 irancs. Conrbofsjstudiois crowded
daily with aristooratio visitors, and commissions
pour in on Dim that will keep him busy for years
to come. This is a story which contrasts
curiously with that of poor Holtzaptel. who put
a pistol to his head the other week because he
had been palatini tor yeais without any recog
nition of merit, and had his pictures of this year
reected at the salon. Courbet's cuse looked lust
as bad, only he lived on, and the lucky day, it
tv.ins out, was close at hund I"
