From T'ie Time (Phila )
The J'cditiiul Salary Gawtioa.
The adjournment of fin Legislature
leaving the question of judicial salurics
undecided, is n grave misfortune.
There nra several provisions of the now
Constitution, which b;ar upon the issue.
Section 18 of article 5 providei as fol
lows: "Tlio Julgni of Hie Supvcrac Court, and
the Judges of llio eevoral Courts of Com
mon Pleas, nn.l all otlior Judrns required
to bo learned in the law, shall at plated
times receive for their services an adequate
compensation, winch shall bo fixed by law
mid -aid by the. State. They shall receive
no other compensation, foes or perquisites
of oBico from Riiy source, nor hold any
other oSioe cf profit under tho United
Stales, this State or any other P'atc."
The 1'oreg'iiN-i section vr-is nioiod at
the system iidnpieJ in Philadelphia nnl
Allegheny of paying additional coatpen
Fn'ion to judges out of the county
treasury. Jr'lnladelplm Judges were
l 85,000 per aonuin by the State
nnd 52,000 by the city, while Allegheny
judpes were paid $1,000 each by the
county. T!io?o payments woro author
ize! by special acts of the Legislature
and at the time of tho adoption of the
nrv (!o'if.ti'.ution the local payments
were a pu t of the lobular salaries of
the Judges. Section 17 of schedule to
the Constitution is as follows:
"The General Assembly, at tho first
session after the adoption of tho Constitu
tion, shall fix and del ermine tho compecsa
tion of tho Judges of tho Supreme Court,
and of (he .judges of tho several judicial
distiic's of the Commonwealth. w
Noth'ug contained in this Coustitutiou
shall be held to reduce the compensation
now paid to any law judge of this cotnuicn
w.alih now in commission."
Soetiou 13 of Article 3 relates to the
citnpen.ition cf officials by prohibiting
the incrca-d or redaction of any salary
after tho election or during the term of
the iucumbeut. It is as follows:
"Xo law chat! extend tl;o term of any
public officer, or increase or diminish his
: tt'avy or emoluments, alter his election or
nppoiutmeut "
There is therefore, the repeated de
claration of the new Constitution that
nil our judges in olKee at the timo of its
adoption, shall bo paid at least tho full
compensation they wore xocoiviiig ou
the 1st of January, 1ST4. As to judges
the language is particularly clear. No
matter from what source the compensa
tion camo, nothing iD the Constitution
"eh all be held to reduce the couipeii'-a-tion
now paid to any law judjre cf lhi3
Commonwealth now in commission."
It is therefore the plain dmy nf Hm
..ta.:e aumoiiues to pay all old judges
just ni they wore paid belore. Hut we
can see no provision to warrant tho pay
ment of ucw judges. The salaries of
the old judges do not in any way cou
trol cr even indicate llto Rubrics of the
new judicial officers, for the Legislature
is directed "at the first session altor thr
adoption of the Constitution, tojictnul
ilet w,u nc the compensation of the
judges," etc., and whatever salary the
Legislature may lis, will unquestionable
be the compensation of all new judges,
and al.-:o nf all old judges who may be
re-elected at the expiration of their
tonus. Yi'hile it is reasonably ce.taiu
that the saluiies of the judges will not
b-j fised at less than those p-;id to the
old judges, yet there is no law on the
subject, and tho State Treasurer is ex
pressly prohibited from paying money
tor any purpose, except under the direct
Authority of law. It Ins Leon common
for many years for State Treasurers to
advance money to members of tho Leg
islature, during the session, before the
passage of the regular appropriation bill
directing the payment of the Legisla
ture, but h8 was safo iu doing so, how
ever irrcgubr it may be deemed, be
cause the salary of legislators is fixed
and they are very unlikely to fail to
pass the necessary appropriation to pay
themselves. While Penupylvauia, legis
lators b.ave been blamed for many acts,
Dolti ol omission and commission, thov
have never been accused of failing to
appropriate for their salaries, with the
most consistent fidelity.
It is the impression of many that the
judicial salary bill was finally defeated
and disposed of so that it could not be
considered nest winter in case of the
Legislature holding that tho two meet
ings of 1S75 and '7G constitute but one
session; but this is a mistake. Under
any circumstances the question can be
considered next winter. In tho con
fusion of the closing hoursof the sefsion,
the bill was reported os finally killed,
but tho motion to reconsider tho vote
by which the bill was defeated was
laid on tho table instead of being voted
down, and if the next session be accep
ted as an adjourned meeting of the late
Hession, tho motion to recousidcr can be
taken lift tho first day, or at any time
thereafter, and disposed of by passing
or defeating llio bill finally. If the leg
islature holds that tho meeting nest
winter is to bo regarded as a new ses
sion, in which all legislation is to begin
ile novo, the bill can, of course, be in
troduced again and pass through all the
various stages of consideration. In the
meantime some movement should be
made by publio spirited business men
to secure the prompt payment of our
judges during the present year. It
fchould be done through the Governor,
and we doubt not that if a few gentle
men would join the Executive in the
matter, there are plenty ofourmonied
institutions that would place tho f unds
at the difposal of Governor Hatrauft.
Tbia was done several times during the
war by Governor Curtin, when the pub
lie interests imperatively demanded the '
paymeot nf money before tho Legisla
ture could be cnllctl to appropriate it
and the responsibility assumed by indi
viduals was promptly taken unon the
Statu when the Legislature mot. It
could be arranged to pay the new
judges the minimum Ruin that is within
rant;o of adoption by tho salary bill, and
thus fully guard against tho possibility
of individual loss. It will be a great
hardship upon n number ot our judges,
who depend mainly or wholly upon theit
salarios fur their support, if no provision
is made for paying them any compensa
tion until tho Legislature of 187G tduiH
"lis and deterniino" their salaries.

Washing'on, March 13. It is repor

tontinues to bo smuggled in small

brought into tho country and landed at
plaees unknown, sometimes it is placed
in packages of sugar, tea, or fruits, or is
concealed in the box or Jjar in which
suoh articles are packed It is also
found upon tho persons and in the
clothing and beddings of Chinese pas
sengers, and concealed ia tubs and
buckets by means of false bottoms, aud
also in the soles of wooden shoes of
Chinese emigrants. It is probable ihat
most of the smuggling of this drug s
done by 60ine device of this kind.

The lady reached tho ground in safety,
but before Eho could rescue her little
daughtor tho horses broke away, ran
straight to the raiboad track, aud gal
loped down it directly iu front of the
locmotive. Before the engiuo could be
stopped the cowcatcher struck tho back
of the carriage, knocking it to pieces,
and thiowiug the child some distance
ahead of the track. At the risk of his
own life a braktman leaped down,
snatched the little one out of danger
and restored her to her parsnts.
From The Warren Mall.
' Th8 Ecatty Well.
Mr Beatty tubed his oil well and
commencod pumping last Friday. For
a short timo it pumpod lar-zelv. Then
it would stop a while and go by fits and
starts. In the night the pump clogged
considerably, being too near the bottom,
and threw out mud with tho oil. Natu
rally many pcnplo wcro going over to
8co it and all sorts of stories were in cir
culation. So on Saturday morning wo
went over to get tho facts.
The snow bad fallen nearly a foot
during tho night. The sleighing might
havo been bettor and might have been
worse, l'ecorder Marsh, as Warron
people know, owns tho slikest 6pan of
little Mustang ponies this sido of the
Rocky Mountains, aod he couldn't re
sist the temptation to trot them out.
Lawyer Stono was in the sleigh, and
l'ostmaster Donnison was taking an
ewly breakfast at "Deluionico's" as we
wended our thougtful way to tho sanc
fum, wondering what in cain wo should
find to keep two compositors going.
We were in luclc. They had one vacant
scat They wanted good company and
asked us in. We went in. The little
Mustangs know every wink of their
master. Marsh winked and they made
tho snow fly like a locomotivo. You
should have seen'.thn crowd on the road
and at tho well. There was Otc llan-
dall, and George Allen, and Milt. Ilnll,
and Sam. Cogswell, nnd Andrew Ilert-
zel, and Lletchcr Barker, and Tim
Barnes, and Bill Myers, and Joe Ben
son, and nnd all tho bovs we can t
tell bow many. Some were afoot, some
had plugs better cr worse, hut none had
sucn a natty little team is Marsh drives.
Mo body but an oil prince in present or
prospective can keep such a team
While that ride lasted wc felt rich and
jolly as an oil man. But such dreams
have a tumble for all poor printers, and
we allow any man to approach us as
unual if he has ?2 for the Mail in ad
vance.
On Mr. Beatty's gate was a placard
saying "no admittance to the oil well,"
but what good does that do when men
can't or wont read. Capt. Dennison
said he was specially invited by Mr,
Beatty with his friends. We were bis
iriends you know the littlo Mustangs
aud nil and in wo went. The pump
was working slowly. Mr. O, W. Beatty
was present, answering questions and
standing the boring of tho crowd as
good naturcdly as a philosopher. Wc
concluded ho understands his business.
They have a big new tank. It con
taiucd fifteen or twenty barrels oil. The
gn3 was coming out of the pipe pretty
strong. The oil would squirt a full
stienin for a minute or two, filling a
pail as quick as a milk-wan can when
he fords a creek. Then it would go
slower and stop altogether for a short
time, and then go again. Tho driller
said they went by spurts that way some
"times for several days before they set
tle down to a steady business. II a
caught a pail full and Mr. Beatty tested
it. f fe said it stood at 49 gravity. The
oil is what they call amber oil. We
don't know whether it is "spot" oil, or
"long" oil, or 'short" oil, but wo do
know it "stNnttnrl" our overcoat, me
ittusville JInnltl qoutes their oil as
''crude quiet." Wo guess this is
"crude," but it isn't "quiet" by a lontr
shot. It squirted nil over the derrick
and engine house and blacksmith shop
and bull wheel, nnd sputters and blows
like a porpoise in a mill pond. How
much "hhe will do," as oil men say we
of course can't tell. They were not
pumping on Sunday and it will require
further time to show the extent and pro
ductiveness of the new oil territory.
