Increase of Salaries
Urnfltr this head the Washington Re
jiwhlic saya. The extraordinary action
of the Forty second Congress iu pas
ting a bill for the increase of salaries
just at the close of its official term, and
making the measure retroactive in rela
tion to their own compensation, calls for
mote than the ordinary scrutiny applica
ble to public measures of importance.
That a Congress which, to say the
least, has, in some respects, left a most
unenviable record should, with its ex
piring gasp, thrust its own anus into the
public treasury to the tune of more than
u million of dollars for cervices for'wliich
the lawful compensation had been
already paid, will certxi tly be n matter
of surprise to the country at this time,
and ultimately, unless wo are mistaken,
will come home to plague the men who
have contributed to such a result.
The salaries provided by the act iu
question are as follows.
The President $50 000
The V ice Piesideut
Chief Justice Snpremu Court.....
Cabinet officers
Assistant Secrcteiies of the
Treasuty, Sta'e.and Interior...
Speaker of the House, after the

Senators, Representatives, and
Delegates, including the pres

In this we raise no question as to the j
increase iu the salaries of executive offi !

in the legislation ; 2d. In regard to these j
the act is nrosDective onlv : and 3d. Be-1

will be more generally approved. i
That exact justice maybe done we i
present the record :

Keeping this analysis of the vote in
view, it will not be difficult to fasten the
responsibility of the measure upon the
proper persons, and to find the controll
ing reason for its objectionable future
back pay to a retiring Congress.
It is but fair to state, that there were
those who sincerely believed the com
pensation of Congressmen to be inade
quate ; nor do we think that, in view of
the abolition of the franking gratuity
and mileage, the cost of Congressional
proceedings under the new law will be
greater than nnder the old system. But
this fact should it prove to be a fact
affords no excuse whatever for the seiz
ure of a large sum by the retiring Con
gressmen beyond their stipulated and
lawful compensation
Ou this subject of salaries for public
service there is a wide difference of
pinion, some contending that Govern
ment pays an inadequate compensation
for poor service ; others, that the compen
sation is sufficient and the service well
performed
A careful observation of many years i
leads to the conclusion that both these
propositions contain some truth and some
error ; that in the aggregate the employ
es of the Government are as well, not to
say better, paid than any others in the
country, as compared with the service
rendered, and that for efficiency, regular
ity, and integrity the service will not
suffer by comparison with the personal
or corporate management of any exteo-
ve private business. i5ut there are in
enimlitipil in the service which are inci
' deiit to the liipse of time aud the growth
i of the country. 1 hese tboulu be rem
ediid by considerate, but never by retro
active legislation. And it i suggested
that, inasmuch as the salaries of legisla
tors, if raisrd at all, must be raised by
their own votes, a tteceni regard for their
own good names and the judgment f
mankind would require the act to be
prospective, aud to became operative oa
ly after its sanction by a popular vote.
No Congress iu recent years has been
so much maligned by the partisan press
as the one whose acts are under consid
eration : and. nossibl v. few would have
k m -
withstood the ordeal better but for this
last act of consummate folly contempo
rancous with its dissolution.
For want of space, the names ot &en
ators aud Representatives have been
omitted from the body of the article
where incorporated by the Rejtublic.
Ed
MOEY.
The monev market in the business
centers of the country has been in a dan
gerously fnveri.sli state for gome tight or.
ten davs. The financial editor of the
Philadelphia Inquirer writes up the situ-
ativin in Monday's issue thus :
With last. Saturday evening ended
another exciting week in the annals of
the Money market, and the prospect -is.
decidedly favorable for further weeks and
even months of sudden changes in the
supply and demand of fuuds, rates of
interest and current market values. These
financial storms are due to the oue fact
that Congress neglected its duty iu pro
vidiug additional currency at the late ees
sion. This dereliction renders our money
columns interesting, but it is neither
pleasant nor comfortable to our enter
prising merchants and manufacturers,
aud, through them, it seriously affects
the best interests of the country. An
astute sage, in the past, wrote, "Happy
1 14 tliA finttin ivlmjo annalj ftmlro dull
i ,r .7 ,
1 rea,'Iug a"d. win equal trutli, it may
now Le said that prosperous is the people
whose money markets are uniformly
sluggish
Local rates of interest were seriously
affected early iu the week by the severe
monetary pressure experienced in New
Yoik, the almost unprecedentedly high
rates of interest paid by our neighbors
made Wall street a powerful magnet for
spare Philadelphia capital ; considerable
ums of available capital were sent where
borrowers were more than willing to pay
of 1 per cent, a day. Theu, too, the
parties here, carrying stocks in New
York, and their name is legion, were
compelled to draw heavily on their cash
and investment reserve to pay for their
Wall street, whistle But the intense
pressure gradually yielded, and at the
close of the week money worked com
fortably in onr midst ; loaus on call were
negotiated at 6a7 per cent., and at the
close of business on Saturday several of
the large firms of brokers found theta
selves with unemployed balances on their
hands. Time bills wore not much influ
enced by the fierce flurry in money for
temporary use ; choice two-name 90 days
and 4 months' obligations sold freely at
from 10 J to 12 per cent. With prime
collaterals good bills were disposed of at
9al0 per cent
There is not a little talk of instituting
legal proceedings agaiost certaiu parties
for violating the Usury law last week in
taking higher rates of interest. These
threats of suits are laughed at, for the
Usury law, those who lend say, is a relic
of barbatism as it existed in feudal time.
It is violated every day, for money, like
wheat, beef, cloth, paper or iron, will sell
just for what it is worth in the open mar
ket, but its price can be regulated only
by the equitable and irrevocable law of
supply and demand. There m prevalent
now, among our most progressive and
reliable capitalists, the opinion that the
statues agaiust usury are in no small de
gree responsible for much of the incon
venience attendaut on monetary stringen
cies, inasmuch as they torce lenders
not ouly to sell their money above the
so called legal rate, but to demand, for
their own security easily convertible col
laterals in snms sufficient to make them
selves secare where the law affords them
no protection. More remarkable still
these threats of appeals to the courts
cotup, in many instances, from the very
patties who have been violent coutrac
tiouists, insisting that the supply of mon
ey for the uses of the country must be
kept down, aud now they quarrel with
the results of their own teachings. - In
our opinion, the law should be repealed
or else enforced, and the duty of the
District Attorney should be directed to
wards this result. In New York a fund
of a large amount is being raised for the
purpose of punishing, criminally, the
mouey lenders.
The gold premium attracted quite as
much attention as the market for money ;
the manipulators on the "bull" side have
been pushing their plaus with more than
usual caution. Always retiring just be
fore a sale of Treasury gold, they re
turned to the charge with renewed vigor
after the government coin was out of the
way. Thus they sent up the price to
11SJ on Monday, permitted it to drop on
Tuesday, kept out of the way on Wed-
nesday aud Thursday, but on Friday re
sumed their work, and scut np the pre
inium to 119 on Saturday afternoon from
117 J on Thursday. These manipulations
emanate from the minds of men who can
afford to wait as well as plan, and form a
combination which exceeds in capacity
its predecessor." Secretary .Richardson
will, no doubt, dj all that ia his power
lies to protect legimate trade against
:
speculation, and he is moving as slowly
and cautiously as his wily opponents,
which is a promising sigu for the conn-

A queer story is told in the New
York correspondence of the Chicago
Tribune of two prosperous merchants in
West Broadway. One of them was mar
ried, rather late in life, sone two years
ago, and after he and his wife had gone
to housekeeping, he invited his fillow
merchant to pay them a visic The lat
ter went, aud was much pleased with the
new wife, who appeared to be very
young. ;. They grew to be firm fiicuds
lie told her he could not resist the con
viction that he had seen her before, at
which she laughed, and said that was
the impression recieved from all sjTjipa
t be tic natures. Their cot dial relations
contiuued for a good while, and one day
the mercantile admirer recieved a letter
from an intimate in Boston, informing
him that his frieud had some time before
married an eccentric woman, Mrs. ,
who had the reputation of being several
times divorced.
This set the admirer to thinking and
tracing -out circumstancts within hjji
knowledge. The result was, he discov
ercd beyond question that Mrs. the
wife of his friend, had, seven years
before, been his own wife, from whom
he had obt-iined a legal divorce on good
and sufficient reason, six months after
their union. Anxious to corroborate
this, he went to Mrs. , and asked her
if it was not so. She replied in the
affirmative, aud without hesitation, ad
ding that she recognized him frcfra the
first, but did not care to impart any iu-
formatiou that he himself did not pos
ess. She bad been literally in the di
vorce business, having had no less than
seven lieges iu twelve years. She un
derstood the art of making herself look
young, and at five and thirty she did
not appear more than five and twenty.
It was the art that deceived the frieud
A fearful case of hydrophobia has de
veloped itself in Allegheny City. The
victim is a boy named John Conradi,
aged twelve years, sou of Mr. Conradi'
residing on First near Middle street.
The facts as far as developed are these;
the boy John and his brother went out
into the country to work on a farm.
Some time dining the season a dog
which was on the place was observed to
act very strangely, and it was thought
at the time that the auimal was suffeting j
fton "rabis," and the boys wvre ordered
to catch him and tie him to a tree. They
did as ordered, aud iu the attempt they
were both bitten by the rabid auimal.
After they had been bitten they went to
the house where the proper restoratives
were applied and the wonndy healed,
nothing more being thought of their in
juries. Un tne Zotn oi last month pe
culiar symptoms were noticed in the lad.
That day he had convulsions and foam
ed at the mouth. Dr. llartman was
summoned and prescribed some and also
stated what was the matter. The boy
kept on growing worse from day to day,
the convulsions comiiirr on ofteut r, his 1
read of water being very great. II is
father states that the lads suuVrings are
most terrible to behold, that he occasion-
illy barks like a dog and posseses the
strength of a giaut. Yesterday the con
vulsions came ofte uer, aud his sufferings
seemed greater than the previous day
Death will no doubt put a relief to his
sufferings. PiltsLurij Gazelle, Ajr Zi d
tTOLK.. Twenty three hundred dol
lars were stolen from the Berks county
Treasury on the 2nd inst. The treasurer
was engaged with a tax colli ctor, when
wo strangers entered, one of whom
asked to have a oue hundred dollar bill
changed. The treasurer requested him
to wait a few minutes. The stranger
took tip a newspaper and placed himself
with the paper open in such a position
that the view of the vault door was hid
from the treasurer. The second party
then asked for a drink, and stepped into
the entrance of the vault where a pitcher
stood, and pretended to driuk. He did
more than driuk ; he quietly took np one
of the largest packages of money and
handed it out of the window to a con
federate, who was waiting to receive it.
The two men immediately left the office.
The loss of the money was soon discov
ered, but the thieves as yet are at large.
An houcs t old Pennsylvania farmer
had a tree on his premises he wanted
cut down, but being weak in the back,
and having dull ax, he hit upon the fol
lowing plan. Knowing the passion
among his neighbors for coon hunting,
he made a coon's foot out of a potato
and proceeded to imprint numerous
tracks to and up' the tree. When all
ready, he informed his neighbors that
the tree mu?t be filled with couns.
pointing to the external evidenc mide
with his potato foot. The bait took,
and in a short time half a dozen fellows
with axes were, chopping at the
base of the tree, each takiug their -regular
turn. The party also brought dogs
and shot guns, and were in ecstacies
over the anticipated haul of fat coons.
The tree finally fell, but nary a coon
was seen to "drap."
