Pay of the Members of the Legislature.
The compensation cf the members of the
Pennsylvania Legislature is so wrapped
!up in inysterv that it may be doubted
whether any person can stale the precise
1 sum, even after a minute investigation of
| the subject The last Legislature, though
ravenous after the public money, did not
dare to pass any general law increasing
the pay of the mi mbers,but concealed their
| attack upon the public treasury under the
clauses of the general appropriation hill.—
By the acts of May 7. 1855, and April 21,
1858, the Members of the Legislature are
1 entitled to receive a salary of seven hund
red dollars, twenty five dollars for station
j erv, ni wspapers and lights, and fifteen ct?>.
; per mile circular in going to and returning
. fiom the ses-i .n.the Speaker of the respec
tive houses obtaining one dollar per day
i additional compensation. In case of non
exeused absence four doll irs pi.-r day is to
be deducted, and no greater or other com-
pensation or allowance than that provided
by tlie act can be voted by titlier house to
any members for services.
Such was the state of the law at the
end of but the Legislature of 1867
thinking that their invaluable services co'd
not be too highly compensated, provided,
in the appropriation bill, that each member
should receive three hundred dollars in ad
dition to their present salary. The pay of
each legislator, therefore, amounted to one
thousand dollars' By another section in
serted between the appropriation for pay
ing St. Paul's Methodist Church for the
use of tents and the appropriation for re
newing the meridian line of Dauphin Co,
the State Trca.-urer is authorized to pav
the necessary expenses, including clerk
hire of the select committees ; but the
payment of any sum of money to any
member of any select committee for his
services, or the payment of any expense
accruing after the atlj .umment of the L<*g
i-lature, is prohibited. Keeping under
consideration the ah..ve condensed state
mentof the law, made after a minute and
thorough examination, anil Inhered to be
s'rictly accurate, the necessity of the reso
lution offered by Mr. John S. Mann, of
Potter bounty, and adopted by the House,
is suffici ntly apparent, The resolution re
ouests the Auditor-General "To make up
"his next annual report so as to show the
"gross sum paid for extra copies of every
"report or document ordered by resolution
"of either House, and so as to show the
"whole sutn pod to every special commit
tee of ea;h llce.se, and the amount paid
"to each person connected with said com-
i -'mittee."
This is not sufficient, however ; a mere
request from one branch of the Legislature
! has no binding eff ct upon the Auditor-
General. A law should be passed by both
| Houses requiring the rep it to be made
out so as to show the whole sutn paid for
1 every document and to every committee.—
j A request for the re arrangement of the
j items of the Auditor-General's Report for
! 18G7 would be advisable, and it is to be
1 hoped that Mr. Mann wil' procure the in
j formation, particularly as to the expense of
I the printed documents. Some information
however, as to the special committees and
1 other matters, can be obtained from the
published report for IB't7 ; the payments
made in certain cases are, undoubtedly,
; contrary to law, sinless the wise provisions
| cited above hate been repealed.
The act of 1855. unrepealed except as
to the section fixing the pay at five hund
red dollars, which was increased to seven
hundred dollars in lcsB, evidently was in.
; tended to forbid tiie member.- from being
paid any additional sum while serving on
j committees,aud the sixty-first section of
j the act of April li, 18G7, provided that
i "This section shail not be con-trued to au
thorize the payment of unv sum of money
;to any member of the special committees
for his services, or ot any expense accruing
after the adjournment of the Legislature."
A comma i- inserted sifter the word si rvic
| es. and the words "accruing after the ad
journment'' refer clearly to exoense and
not to services. Hut the committee
men have read the law so as to permit
them to receive pay for services before the
adjournment. .Nine thousand six hundred
and ninety-four dollars double compensa
tion has been paid to the members of sev
jen special committees of the House. The
j accounts of the Senate do not contain any
! sueli scandalous items The above sum is
1 for pay alone, there being in addition, ex
peuses, clerk hire, witness fees, service of
subpoenas amounting to $5,655. A'd what
makes the matter worse is the concealment
|of the expense, accidental or otherwise,
caused hy charging the same committee
under a different names. Thus we have a
/committee "In regard to charges in the
J'illsbury papers, session of 1806," and a
'Committee "To investigate ceitain charges
;in reference to the Allegheny t ounty Li
: cense law,' both being the same body of
men. Again, we have a "Committee to
j investigate the alleged interest which of-
I ficers and directors of railroads have in
i transportation companies,' to which the
: same remarks apply.
There is also a payment (o Jacob Ken
nedv, member of tie- House, for extra ser
vices, three hundred dollars. Whether
this is the increase of compensation voted
in the appropriation bill or not, there are j
no means of telling. But as the phrase ;
"extra services" it not used in the bill pas- 1
sed by the Legislature, it would seem to
be a further increase of salary. Wiien a
hasty glance at the Auditor-General's lie
port reveals such irregularities as have
been mentiontd, it would seem a prop r
step for Legislature to examine further in
to the matter. If the law has been strict
ly observed, then the reputation of the
Legislature of 1807 will be rescued from
j the odium in which it is at present held ;
. but if illegal acta have been peipetratcd,
j then the proper remedy should be applied,

Republican Repudiation—A "trolly loiV
gentile gentleman (?) takes a lesson in
decency.
The following spicy correspondence ex
plaius itself:
[Copy.]
New York. 28th Jan., 1868
To the Treasurer of the State of Pennsyltania :
We have received from Messrs. N. M.
Rothschild & Sons, of London, 8190,886.10
Pennsylvania State •! per cent, stock,
which we sent to Philadelphia for redemp
tion, to le followed in a few days by a fur
ther lot of $lOO,OOO.
Besides these, Messrs. Rothschild hold
about $200,000 more of stock already
overdue and becoming due this year.—
These gentlemen again complain of the in
justice of the action of the State of Penn
sylvania, in forcing its creditors to accept
payment* in :* depreciated currency, and
| have instructed us to receive payment on
i ly under protest, as heretofore.
They would, however, prefer to hold the
; stock, if an arrangement could le made
with your State for a continuation of the
loan, and will only ace pt payment now if
compelled to do so by a discontinuance of
the interest. We have written to the Far
mers' and Mechanics' National Bank of
Philadelphia to confer with you on this
subject befote accepting payment, and w •
beg you will give this matter Jour serious
consideration and let us know whether an
extension as desired by Messrs, Rothschild
i is possible.
Hoping soon to bear from yon, wc re
! main yours respectfully,
AIO. BELMONT & Co.
Harrishurg, Jan. 30, 1868. j
Mettra. Aug Belmont \ Co , N*it York:
Gentlemen: In reply to your note of
the 28th, 1 big to say that no arrangement
can be made by which the Messrs. Hut lis- ,
child can retain tne old loan (now overdue)
! and continue to draw interest on it.
Yon state that shoultl no arrangement be j
i made you will be compelled to accept pay-;
ment under protest. To this we have not
the slightest objection. Your complaints 1
about the injustice of our not paying yon '
, in gold m y seem just to you, but to us
they seem ridiculous.
1 have no doubt Messrs. Aug. I>. Imont
& Co. had many liabilities out, w hen the i
h'g-d-tender act was passed, which became j
aluc after gold had risen to a premium of;
SO.. I have not yet heard of their cor. - !
science compelling them to pay in gold in

New York, Feb. 4, 18G8. i
S'r : I have to acknowledge the receipt
1 of your iet'er of the 30th u!t., addressed to
I my house, in reply to our application on !
| behalf of Messrs. Rothschild A Sons, of
London, who had us to receive
! payment of the Pennsylvania State stock
I now due, under pro"est in case the State
j should not pay the principal in coin, and
j in case no arrangement could be effected
having in view a continuation of the inter- 1
j est and an extension of the time of retlemp-;
tion of the capital.
Messrs Rothschild act in this matter as;
trustees of the holders of the debentures of
the late United States Bank, of Pennsyl
vania, residing in England and on the con- j
] tinent of Europe. You seem so well ac-!
' quainted with the financial transactions of
States and individuals, that you must know
that by these debentures hundreds of w id- j
j ows and orphans have been reduced to
beggary.
Messis. Rothschild in trying to save for
, their constituents all they can out of the
' wreck, have made through my house an 1
. application, which tin y as well as I deem
just and equitable, and tins application was
made in a couitePUS and respectful man
ner. In so doing Messrs. Rothschild have j
evinced a new proof, if any was wanted, of ,
tln-ir strict and honorable appreciation of;
the obligations assumed as trustees for the 1
innocent holders of the most disastrous ?e
-curity ever negotiated by their house, a
; negotiati >n ba-ed principally upon tlie
faith of the State of Pennsylvania and its
great banking institutions.
} our reference to the liabilities of mv
hou-e, contracted in coin and assumed by
you to hate been paid >u currency, is as
impertinent as it is untrue in point of fact.
August Beimont A Co. have never dc
clini d to meet any demand for the pay
ment in coin of any liability contracted by
them in coin, before or since the Legal
tender act.
If they had adopted a course towaids
their creditors which you propose to t ike
on behalf of the Slate of Pennsylvania to
watus her unfortunate creditors repiesent
ed hy tiie Messrs. Rothschild, there might
have been some excuse forthelack of cour
tesy which you have exhibited iu your
letter to them.
In conclusion, I take this opportunity to
express my regret that the State of Penn
sylvania should have for its Treasurer a
person who could so far disgrace the State
lie assumes to represent and forg,-t tiie dig
nity of the office he holds, as to reply to a
civil business communication iu a manner
which must raise the blush of sharne on
the cheek of every citizen ol that great and
honored State. lam your obedient serv't.

Political and Statistical Almanacs.
The Washington Eutional Intelligencer,
February 7, thus estimates the value of tlie
political and etatistical alii anacs-for the
coming year:
Mr. Greeley, quite n number of rears
ago, compiled the Tribune Almanac, and
has kept it up every succeeding year. The
one for the curient year is tolerably well
made up, but we are sorry to see adver
tisements interspersed all through the
reading matter. This is a great nuisance,
and lessens the value of the book. Credit
ought to bo above mere money-making in
such a business. The example of Greeley
lias set others to work. Van Evrie, Hur
ton Co. have tor some years published
the Democratic Almanac, which is, in some
respects, even a better and more useful
work this year than the Tribune Almanac.
Better still, in the fullness and complete
ness of its statistics, is the Evening Jour
nal A'manac, of Albany. But the New
York World seems to have waited for
all these to make tin ir cast, in order to
show how far it could excel tin m all. Its
almanac fur this year is a wonderful cxhi
-1 ition of skill and industry in compilation,
and far excels anything e>f the kind we
l ave seen. In lieu of iho Tribune's adver
tisements, it gives us most important and
useful information. Its election returns
are fuller than those of its rivals. We
have, moreovtr, all the acts of Congress
bearing on reconstruction, and a viry full
and cartful nariative of the political events
under this head since the close of the war.
In short, this little book should be in the
hands of every politician, editor, or any
one, indeed, who wants to be well posted.
It would do much good, we think, to some
of "ur Iladic.-.l Senators who have been
dabbling in figures ot late, unadvisedly, and
somewhat at random. It might save them
from " many a blunder and foolish notion."
They cannot buy a copy lo soon.
Wuat's iiie Matter. —We notice in
looking over the Committees in the Sen
ate, that the Rev. Geo. Linden's name
does not appear as Chairman on a single
Committee, and that his name only ap
pears at the tale end of one or two uuim
p.,rtant ones. 1 his is lather cool on the
Senator when his friends endeavor to mag
nify him as the leading man of the State
Senate. Tl us same Lendon got the go-by
at the Republican meeting at the Court
House, <n Monday evening hist, when the
meeting decliued to consider a resolution
endorsing him for United States Senator.
Truly, the way of the political transgress
or is hard, and Mr. 1, will undoubtedly
realize his situation ere long. The honest
second sober thought of the people will
surely condemn him for his many tergiv
ersations. — iiradford Argus.
