! STATE OP INDIANA, ) j Wayne Countt, , ' 1 I, Elibu M. Parker, Auditor of Wayne couptv, Indians, do hereby certify ; that the .foregoing is a true and correct list of lands and town lots returned delinquent by the Treasurer of said county, for the non-payment of Taxes due thereon for the year 1872, to which are added the taxes for the current year 1873. Advertising fee yet to be added. Witness my name, and the seal of the Commissioners' Court at seal . Richmond, this 15th day of December, 1873. 5 . ELIHU M. PARKER, Auditor.
,S.
STATE OF INDIANA, ) Q
Notice is hereby given to all concerned, tiaat thq whole of said lands and town lots, or as much as may be necessary to discharge the taxes, penalty, in- ' terest and charges which may be due thereon, or due from the owner thereof at the time of sale, will be sold at public auction, at the court house door in said county, on the second Monday of February, 1874, by the Treasurer, unless said taxes, ienalty, interest and charges be paid before that time, and
that the sale will be continued from day to day until the said tracts, lots, . to be my duty as a liepresentative np-
tircd of having this matter of the inequality of mileage thrown at him.: He stated that in consequence of the mileage he was getting largely morn com
pensation than other gentlemen who were sitting here with him, of whom I was one, and he proposed to the House that if they would reconsider that vote he would offer an amendment to the bill, placing the salary at 16,500 and cutting off all mileage and
perquisites, which" he stated would
equalize salaries and be a tair compensation; that it would not. materially increase the- aggregate amount that was then taken oat of the Treasury for the salaries of Senators and Members, and ; that; it, "would equally distribute the compensation among the members of Congress. That was the proposition he submitted to the House,
and upon that proposition the House reconsidered its former vote. There1 was a distinct understanding with all the members of the House that if the former action of the House was reconsidered Mr. Sargent should move the amendment he had indicated. 1 And just as soon aa the motion to reconsider was agreed to, as my friend from Massachusetts Mr. Butler and others here will remember, Mr. Sargent did move the amendment he had indicated, and the House adopted it. My friend here Mr. Dawes nods his head. He remembers it very well, and others also remember it. - The bill with that provision, $6,500 a year,went to the Senate. We all know what transpired there. . Some Senators insisted that it was no substantial increase of salary, and they were opposed to it for that reason. And any man who will examine the debates that took place in the Senate upon that subject will see that the Senate voted in such a way as to throw the matter into a committee of conference. It went to a committee of conference; my friend from Ohio Mr. Garfield was on it to represent the House. He had labored on the bill an important appropriation bill for months and months. It involved the appropriation of millions and millions ol dol
lars; it furnished the means for carrying on the machinery of the Government. The committee of conference reported in favor of increasing the amount of compensation to $7,500 a
year. It was just in the last hours of
the session; it was on a bill containing these large appropriations, and involving other large interests, including the Credit Mobelier law. In that way the matter came back to Jhe House. The question was whether we should defeat that appropriation bill and all the interests in it, or pass it with all the increase of salary attached to it; and I stood here in my place and voted for that conference report, and under like circumstances I would
do the same thing again. I believed it
and parts of lots shall have been sold or offered for sale. Sale to commence
at 10 o clock a. M. Witness my name, and official seal this 15th day of December, seal. 1873. ELIHU M. PARKER, Auditor.

RICHMOND. 1KB., JAN. 34, 1S74L
WORK CHEERILY, ROYS! BT SARAH V. WALSH.
Do your work bimvely andjeheerily, boys, Whatever the duty be; Work thoroughly done, without bluster or noise, Is the kind that's delightful to see. Then rouse in the moruing with never a plea For "a few minutes longer" in bed; But up! like the wide awake boys you , should be, -With so many pets to be fed. Your chickens have called you, and called you in vain, ; i ' : To come with their oats and thel r corn :
And the roosters proclaimed in their cheer
iest strain ,
That their breakfast time comes with the
morn.
And Frisky and Whisky have been in their
.wheel,
since the nrst streak of dawn in the east; The gay little squirrels how glad they will
leel To see you come bringingtheir feast!
And the little white rabbits with tender
black eyes, Look timidly out from their nest.
I know they are watching for two little boys
io Dnng uiem what rabbits love best.
Then up and be stirring! I care not how

In the House of RepreEentatives, Dec.' 18th, Mr. Hale, of New-York, made a violent personal attack an Judge Wilson, who had introduced an amendment to the salary bill providing, that if any, member of the 43d Congress was in the employ of the
Government as atent and counsel of
the United States, that compensation for such service should be deducted from his salary. Mr. Hale, felt himself "hit,'i and entered into a personal
10 8 explanation, giving a perverted ac-
. count of Judge W. s action on the ' salary bill at tho last session, and concluded as follows:
1 have seen, Mr. speaker, a cur emerging from a puddle, with his hair draggling with filth, -force his way amonsr decent DeoDle. and thrust him
34 83 14 4oi 49 . gelt ui)on them, or snake his tilth ud
.it ai'-xi ri on them. I have known that expert
ment tried, ana nave Known ueccnt i people to be smirched; but I have
never discovered that the cur who did
it remained anything but a qrrty dog.
And 1 believe that will always inevit ably be the case."
Mr. Wilson, of Indiana. The gentlemau from New York seems to have been stirred up by a proposition that
I made yesterday to amend the bill
that was then before the House, commonly known as the salary bill; and since yesterday afternoon he seems to have busied himself in hunting up my record on that question. Mr. Speak-
43 27 I er. the record I made on that Question
I have never shrunk from. I have not gone about the country calling out "salary grab;" nor have 1 ever in any way, to any man, under any circumstances, conceded that I had done anything that I had not the right to do and that I could not do consistently with my integrity and my honor.
Now. sir. when 1 discussed that
nucstion here before the House a few
i.i t .ifi.i nna;t: ....

it. But the gentleman has gone back.
expecting to make a little capital out
of the votes that 1 gave, and has undertaken to show that I had voted inconsistently or that I had been dodging the responsibility that rested upon
me as a Representative upon this
floor; and he goes back and says that when my friend from Massachusetts
Mr. Butler brought this bill before the House for the first time, and the
House was brought to a vote upon it.
that I did not vote. I know 1 did not vote, and I can tell the gentleman
trom .New lork why I did not vote. It was because this House had sent me to the city pf Boston for the purpose of taking testimony in the Credit Mobilier investigation, and I was in
the city of Boston at the time at which these votes were taken. Is that a sufficient explanation of that absence of
voting for the gentleman from New
York?
A member. It is not so stated on
the record.
Mr. Wilson, of Indiana. Well. sir.
I do not know that my absence is ex
plained. I do not suppose it is ex
plained in tho lilobe, because there was no friend of mine, I presume, who thought it important enough to get up here and state that I was absent in the city of Boston at the time that vote was taken.
But the question came up after I returned; I came back here, and for twenty days that salary bill was never heard of; nobody .expected it would be heard of again during the session. The gentlemen here now who were members of the Forty-second Congress remember very well that on a certain night, late at night, after we had had a struggle over the bill that had been reported by the special committee of which I was the chairman,' and that bill badbeen attached as an amendment to the appropriation bill, my friend from Massachusetts moved to amend the same bill still further by
placing the increase of salary uoon it.
And then, as the gentleman from New
xork LMr. llalej says, 1 voted against it. Now, all the gentlemen who are here to-day members of this House who were members of the lust House know very well that that occurred late at night I think about half past eleven, if my memory serves me aright. Mr. Butler, of- Massachusetts. Nearer twelve, a great deal. Mr. Wilson, - of Indiana. Near twelve o'clock at night. The House had been in session from eleven o'clock
the morning until near twelve

o'clock at- night; a motion was then
made to adjourn, and there were a great many gentlemen who voted to adjourn on that occasion who never in any manner, shape, or form voted for the increase of salary. And when the gentleman from New York Mr. Hale comes here to-day and says that that was dodging, he says that which is an attempt to cast a stigma upon a great many gentlemen who voted just as I did upon that motion to adjourn, j'et who never voted for the salary bill in any shape. Now what else? He says that the next morning when the proposition to reconsider came up I did not vote. Well, it just so happened, asit, often has happened with a great many members, that at the time that vote was ta
ken, I had been called over to the Senate and did not vote, for I did not get back here until the vote had been
finally announced. ; t Mr. Halo, of New York. The gentleman skips one vote, the one just be
fore that, on the motion to lay on the
table the motion, to reconsider.
mr. v uson, oi Indiana. i am very thankful to the gentleman for calling my attention to that subject, because I
want to say a word in reeard to it
The proposition was made to increase
the salary of members of Congress to $7,500. The House voted it down.
ana x was touna, m the gentleman
says, voting against it. The next
morning, when the motion of the gen tleman from Massachusetts Mr. But
lerj came up to reconsider the vote
rejecting that proposition,Mr. Sargent, of California, who had been opposing this increase of salary from the beginning, arose in his place upon this floor
ana stqteu to the House that he was
. . i - a 4. t- 4--
I the committee ot conference, iiven
; mv friend from New York, who ot-
' nosed the conference report, admitted
to the House the danger ot deteatins
that bill. He said in his place that if
the bill was defeated and there was an
extra session of Congress it would cost
manv times more money than this in
crease of salary: and he further said
that, much as he objected to the re
port, he would hesitate bciore he
would take the responsibility of bringing on an extra session by rejecting
the report.
Mr. Sargent, ot yaliiornia, who had
been votme against tne increase
straight along, warned gentlemen of
the House not to vote against the report. He said he would vote for it,
and I believe he did vote tor it.
And my friend from Ohio, Mr.
Garfield, the chairman of the Com
mittee on Appropriations, who ha
voted against it eighteen times, I be-
leve. said here upon the floor that he
had opposed this salary increase in the
committee of conference that he had
done everything he could against it,
Yet he said to the House that under
the circumstances he believed it to be
the duty of the House to vote for that
report and pass the bill.
.. .
I am content with the record I have
made upon that subject, and out ol
which the gentleman from New York
Mr. llalej thinks he can make a lit
tie capital. If he wants to point me out .is the type of any class it is as
an independent man, who dares to
stand up in his place, in defiance of
him ami of all others like him, and do what he believes in his conscience to
be right under the circumstances by
which he is surrounded.
Now, Mr. Speaker, 1 have a word or
two more to Bay. 1 introduced this
proposition of amendment that the
gentleman refers to on yesterday, and he says that I sought to fix a stigma
upon him. Well, sir, the gentleman
from INew xork has been running about this House for several days past
prescribing clean linen lor everybody
else, and as nc prescriDes clean linen
for me, I do not propose that he shall
wear a dirty snirt, ana, tnereiore.
offered that proposition to amend, to
which he has referred, and I offered it
for the express purpose of getting an
opportunity to call the atteution ot this House to the. remarks that the
gentleman had made just a day before
Ah, ne is exceeaingiy sensitive now
about having a stigma cast upon him
Mr. Hale, ot JNcw lork. JNot at
all. ;
Mr. Wilson, ot Indiana. He said
he accepted it. Now I send to the
Clerk's desk -the Congressional Re
cord, and I ask the Clerk to read what
the gentleman was pleased to say
about the members ot the forty
second Congress in his speech of the day before yesterday. ! The Clerk read as follows:. ! -' ' "The third proposition on which this popular condemnation reBted, ' and, in my judgment, the weightiest of all, relates to the manner in which the act was done. It was not done by square, manly, honest legislation. This House in the Forty-second Congress repeatedly, by large majorities, voted down the proposition for an increase of their pay when presented as a bald and naked proposition, and then by trick, and subterfuge and evasion, ingrafted the increase upon a bill on which they could have some excuse for saying, 'We vote ourselves increased pay purely as a matter of necessity, because we must do it or defeat the appropriations for the support of the Government.' " Mr. Wilson, of Indiana. Now, I call the attention of the House, and especially of gentlemen who served in the Forty-second Congress, to the manner in which the gentleman has seen fit to talk about them. He says that the thing was not done by "fair, manly, honest legislation." Jle means by that, as a matter of course, that it was unmanly and dishonest legislation. That is what he is charging upon -the members of the Fortysecond Congress. That is the manner in which he has been talking about this matter, and any man who will go and look at the Globe will see that the gentleman made an assertion here that was entirely without foundation in fact, and if he had been as industrious in hunting up the facts of the case as he was in hunting up my votes he would
have found it oat before he got up and made his statement here. Mr. Hale, of New York. Does the gentleman dispute my statement? Mr. Wilson, of Indiana. Therfe- is not any truth in it Mr.Hale,of New York. Mr. Speaker -'-' --' 4- j Mr. Wilson, of Indiana. The gentleman has had his say, anil I decline to yield to him ''',- 1 Mr.' Holman. I object to my col league being interrupted. Mr. . Wilson, . of Indiana. Now, what have the members of the Fortysecond Congress been doing? WhyJ!' taking the pay pursuant to the Constitution that was fixed by law, and a law they had a right to make the same kind of law that had been made
in times past by the very, best and. purest men in the Government. It is
because of this that he is making this
virulent attack upon the .members, of the Forty-second Congress. I wanted' to bring to the attention ef the House the fact that the gentleman whd is seeking to stigmatize the members of
the f orty-second Congress in this matter had been doing the" very identUf' ical thing himself, in an aggravating degree, because I say here, and the gentleman can get up and deny it if he sees fit to do so, that during the 1 last '
two years he had been getting a salary of $10,000 per year as a Government attorney, and during the time he has
cen a member ot this House, since '
the 4th of March last until he took the oath of office, he has been drawing
salary from the Government at the rate
ot u),UUO a year and expenses, in addition to his salary as a member of Congress at the rate of $7 500 per year, and yet he complains of members , of
vvvrunKV'00 Mt,VU VI t KjJ gt VIWV f,.'t
While he was taking lees from the .
Uovernment ot the United Jstates at the rate of $10,000 a year up to the , time t hat he took his seat, at the same time he was drawing the same com- ; pensation that you and I have been drawing under the law?, And how
does he detend that nowr iSy . saying.!
.1 . 1 , 1 ' T
mat, congress naa passea a law au
thorizing him to, receive those foes. What was that law? He says that the salary law was not passed by square, manly and honest legislation. Now
et us see what kind ot a law it was
which authorized him to diaw com
pensation at the rate of $10,090 a year in addition to what the rest of, you
have got. Here is the law.; I will read,
it myself." "' !""" ;
An Act to authorize the - continued .
employment of an agent and coun-t i sel nf the United States. -
"licit enacted &c That it shall bo
awtul tor the rresident ot the United;
States, in his discretion,.- to continue the appointment and employment, of.
the present agent and counsel ot tho United States, under articles 12 to 17 inclusive of the treaty between the
United States and Great Britain, con
cluded May 8, 1871; and for said agent and counsel to act under such continued appointment and employment, notwithstanding the election of said agent
and counsel as a Representative in the
t orty-third Congress: Provided, That such appointment and employment shall not continue after said
agent and counsel shall have taken the oath of office as said Represents ,
tive.
That law was especially framad to
enable the gentleman from New York
to draw this enormous salary; at the same time he was drawing his salary as a Representative until the day. he took the oath of office. . -,,
Now, it happened that we had upon
the statute-books a law prohibiting
this gentleman from drawing this salary. The law was expressly against, it.
He had to take an oath ot olhce in
serving under the Department of Just
ice.
Mr. Hale, of New York. That is a
mistake. ! - :. .-:r-v "
Mr. Wilson, of Indiana. He was not
authorized by law to draw this money; therefore he must have a special act of Congress passed for his benefit.
Wow let us see whether this legislation under which the gentleman , has -been drawing that salary has been entirely "'honest" and "square." I hold
in my hand the Globe, showing how
this thing got through; and it simply, shows that this came here from the
Senate, went upon the Speaker s tabic and from there it was taken on the very last day of the session, on the.iJd day of March the same day on which
1 cast the vote tor the conlerence report the gentleman has been, talking about. . The very same day on which this appropriation bill was passed, this bill for the benefit of the gentleman was, in the night time, taken from the Speaker's table and passed without eno word of debate or explanation. Was that "manly?" Was that "honest ?" If the other measure was un. manly and dishonest, I think, this stands in the same category; Hence," when this gentleman was throwing these things in the faces of members, of the Forty-second Congress, and seeking to cast stigmas np on them, I thought it high time that he should cover into the Treasury this money that he had thus taken out of it. I thank the House very much for having indulged me thus long. The salary bill having passed away from this House, I had supposed that was the end of the whole matter. I should never have referred to these stigmas that the gentleman has sought to cast upon me and my associates in the Forty-second Congress but for the manner in which he has brought this matter up to-day. .
From The Inter-Ocean. President OnntMi the Salary Aet. There is a, deal of .meanness in
the ritt'BJLtempt made ;to east' upon President Grant the odi
tun which the popular judgment
has pronounced against the act of
March last, whereby the salaries of members of Congress and of certain officers of the government were increased. For whatever wrong was embraced in that act, Concrress,
and not the President, is responsi
ble, r It is .- peculiarly . ike duty &X
the legislative department of the
government to fix the salaries of all
public othcers; and in a matter so entirely secondary when compared with the duties of tsuch officers, it
would be rto say , the least, indtfli ' cate for the President to interpose
the Executive veto. The plague of vetoes tvas upon the Ilepublian party during the term of President

The defendant was not' present, and his counsel asked a further continuance, which was refused, and Pomeroy's bail, $20,000, ordered forfeited, with the understanding,, however, that if defendant appears for trial during this month the order of forfeiture will be rescinded. It is believed here that Pomeroy will never be tried, but as the case stands, it puts -him in the position of a criminal at large without bail and liable to arrest at any time. .

constant resort to that power. In
a majority of instances his vetoes were used concerning measures
which5 involved great , questions of state ; and,' therefore, however obstinately wrong the majority in Con gress may have regarded him, he had that plea in justification of his course,', ;, The salary act contained no such reasons of state, calling for an .exercise of the Executive ,yetq by President Grant ' On the contrary, all of the reasons of state forbade its exercise. , The provisions wherby an increase of salaries was effected were imposed upon one of ihe most important of all of the; appropriation bills. The bill passed in the last hours of the last session of a Congress. Its approval was necessary to prevent embarrassments . to the government This alone was a highly important consideration, and sufficient to command a withholding of the Executive disapproval. True, a defeat of ' the measure might have been cured by calling the new Congress together in extra session,, but such a resort would not commend itself to any considerate mind. : Sessions of Congress are expensive, andto a greater or less degree, troublesome, vexatious, and disturbing to the general, business : interests of the country. We must have them once a year, but no thoughtful man would desire more than this. 11 ' 1 The veto power is one which
should be rarely used. It is vested in the Crown in England, but it has been used only once since the year 1692, the exception being its
exercise by Queen Anne in 1707.
The Commons of England would
not permit its frequent use, and it
is doubtful if they would allow it at all. ; ' While . they could not pro ceed against the Crown on account of a veto of an act of Parlament; they would doubtless drive a Ministry lrom power for advising it. The -people of our own country were'at one time nearly equally divided relative to the propriety of tho use of the vetothe Whig party opposing it bitterly. : Opposition to the veto power was one of the elements that entered into the canvass of 1849, which resulted in the election of ; General Taylor to the Presidency. Theframersof our Constitution never designed the veto power for
whimsical and indiscriminate use.
Mr. Justice Story, in his CSommen
taries on tne uonsutution, gives the reasons for the presence of the veto power . in that instrument in
these words: , In the first place, there is a nat ural tendency in the legislative de
partment to intrude upon the rights and to absorb the powers of the
other departments of ., government.
.. - If the executive did not
possess this qualified negative, it might gradually' be stripped of. all its authority, and become, what it
is ; well known the Governors of
some States are, a . mere pageant and shadow of magistracy. In the next place, .- ,.? it establishes
a salutary check upon the legisla
tive boaji calculated to preserve
the community, against tho effects
of faction, precipitancy, uneonslitu
tional legislation, .and temporary
exitements, as well as political hos
tility, V i ,
" Nono of these reasons apply to
tho salary act ; No one pretends that it was unconstitutional, while
the fact that it was discussed more
or less during the entire Congress
in which it was passed negatives the idea of precipitancy It was
not tho result of faction nor of tem
porary excitement We admit that
the measure ought not to have been a
enacted uy tjongress: out this is
no sufficient reason for a President
ial veto. ,The people's direct rep
resentatives did the work, and it is
for them to undo it If th6 Presi
dent had vetoed the measure, doubt
less he would have been charged
with having been influenced theieto
by the Union Pacific Railway Com pany and the Credit Mobilier o
America; for the bill which increas
ed the salaries also provided for

mg criticisms and capricious denunciations which are cast upon the President He might have added to his great popularity by a veto; indeed, it is said that it would
have secured him greater popular applause than any other single act of bis great career. Doubtless no
one . understood i this better than
President' Grant; and this is what brings to light the real greatness
ot tne man, and tne sturdy elements
of , his, practical character. The
reasons, for approving the bill on
