Having criticised without hesitation the action of Congress in passing the bill to increase salaries, it gives us pleasure to record a move in the opposite direction. This ia all tho more praiseworthy for the reason that it was not demanded, and the people had seemingly acquiesced in the bill restoring the old law regarding salaries and emoluments. On Wednesday morning last, the House Committee on Mileage reported a bill abolishing the mileage or members and substituting actual traveling expenses instead, which was promptly issed without debate yeas, lab: nays, 4V. In order that the new bill and the necessity therefor may bo thoroughly understood, we give a few facts regard ing the past practice and the effect of the proposed law. Under the old law constructive mileage was allowed, and tho aggregate amount paid to mem bers of the House for this purpose, during the Fortv-seetmd Congress. was $196,537.60. By this law fortylour .members received over fl.UUOaud less than $2,000 each: six members received over $2,000 and less than 3,000; and five members received over $3,000 and less than $4,000 each Tho others varied from $30 to $900 each. When the bill was passed increasing salaries, it was provided that only actual traveling expenses should be paid to members: and the result for the first session of the Forty-third Congress was, that $23,476 91 covered the entire expense. The five Dersons receiving the highest sums under the old law were: Mr. Kendall, of Nevada, who re ceived $3,313 Mr. McCormlck, uf Arutoua, who rec-lved 3,i0 00 Mr. Mcrritt, of Idaho, who received - S.678 00 Mr. Mister, of Oregon, who received .. 3,900 (10 Mr. Oarfu-ld. of Washington Terrltci , who received, - .... . 3.517 SO Total tn.NM MS As showing how these amounts compare with those received when the actual cost of traveling only was allowed, we give below the sums paid to tho above uamed members, or their tuccessors, under the latter regula tion: - Mr. Kendall, of Neveda.. Mr. XeKtnitU. of Oregon Mr. Mniinni...... ....... Mr. McFadtlen Mr. Hailey S.VJH 90 ? ?J 430 0U Total.. Doubling this amount, so as to cover the mileage for both sessions, and we have $5,839, a difference between the old plan and the new of $12,049.86. The total amount which will be reouired to pay all members of the House under the new bill is estimated at $46,000. while, under the old law, it was $196,000, a saving of $150,000 for each Congress. The House deserves the hearty thanks of the people for thin voluntary reduction. The various stages through which the mileage question has passed illustrate the progress of the Republican nartv toward a fair and honest settle ment of the question. For a party of Annet nrettv well SS the TCCOrd will corruouou idu huiiuum i umm show. In Democratic times members of Congress were paid forty cents a mile tor traveling to ana irom tuei capital. When the Republican party r obtained a majority, this rate was cutf down just one-half. The saving ie suiting therefrom accounted to nearly $200,000 per annum. Members of Congress certify to the number of miles which they travel. It is strange to note the discrepancies which arose under this rule. The weary pilgrimage of these old fathers in search of the capital was something painful to contemplate. .Paul .was mo iroposier, and Japhet's search for bis father was mstitne by comparison. Th only difference between the Congressional fathers and the Wandering Jew is, that at last the former came to a halt, while the Jew, like Tennyson's brook, want on forever. According to the aertificates of these men, it was more than 4,000 mile from the State ot ' Ar. kansas to Washington and back; it 5Ve9 from Mississippi: and Jeff Dsvis

used to draw $1,000 for jovrneyingto the capital. Under the new bill, his successor will receive tl 16, a difference of $1,484. Green, of Missouri.

, used to draw $1,4C9 for mileage. His auceessor .under lie sew reirulatiosv, will draw 5 dollars; Graham N. Fitch, of Indiana, used to draw 1,146 dollars. His Republican successor, Pratt, living in the same town, draws under the law, as first amended by the Republican Congress, 339 dollars, and will draw under the new regulation just 53 dollars. These facta are a stmnle r answer to a great deal of denunciation, ana snow that wntle the Democracy received much praise fox economy, it was because the people did not in those days question acts of extravaganco which would cost members their official beads if barely suggested now. ! The Republican party has sharpened the popular sense, and fraud is now exposed and punished where then it , was covered up and rewarded. InterOcean. THE CURRENCY QUESTION The Qnestieai T Eejautlltjr ifliul ataly TBtf Blatter I AMimh Hjr FUw-C'lf Ium mf taw Went w heare Seeklaa EcjaaUtv atatder tave New tobk, April 11, 1374. To the Editor of the Iuier-Ocean. Sir: Since my last to yon the question of the hour has changed. It is no longer one of "money and currency," "much or little," "gold or paper." These questions are all merged in "Monopoly and Equal ity." It is monopoly against equal ity and equality against monopoly. This must be decided by the people. The press of New York and Boston have made these questions sectional. The press of both cities are united. They are banded together. They have made proclamation that they are sectional, and deny to the Western and Southern States equal privileges. They boast of their 4isolid men' and great "capitalists" ! and say that the West and South are impertinent' and deserve "rebuke" for presuming to ask for equal rights. Thus they proclaim j cutter law, '. Let him take who has tho power, ' And let him keep who can. The great bluster over an increase in money or "legal tender" of "eighteen millions" looks like what it is a pretense, a deception. "The game was not worth the candle." Their game is more im-, portant They offer you no terms of equality or brotherly sympathy. New York and New England hold the great monopoly of free banking, and "let him keep who can" is their motto. The press and the xuonopo list are one and indivisible against the West and South. They have determined to swim or sink together. They stand on guard against all who are in favor ol equal rights. No communications in favor of equality have been admitted into the press since that open coli tion was formed at the Cooper In stitute, and published to the world. Allow me to state the cae more clearly. At the commencement of the war we had no money at Lome or credit abroad. We proposed to make a free banking law to enable the Treasury, during the war, to find a market for our bonds. While the bill was pending before Congress, an amendment was adopt ed that limited the privilege to $300,000,000, and thus made a mo nopoly. This privilege was open ana tree to all wuo had the means to accept and comply with tho terms of the act The Eastern States and our State banks took up our bonds as fast as they were issued for banking purposes- They possessed "solid men' and large capitalists, who subsequently in creased their wealth by vast sums obtained through contracts made with the government during the war. We of the East made money and grew rich, while the South was impoverished, and the Southwest greatly injured by the war. In this condition of our country the whole $300,000,000 privilege for banking was taken up by our more fortunate and wealthy Eastern people. When the West and South, by industry, grew stronger, and realized that they had become rich in property, they saw that banking privilege, which converts real into personal property, had been mo nopolized by their Eastern bretb ren. Thereupon the South and West said to Congress. "Give unto us, even us," equal rights and privileges with our brethren of the Eastern States. They did not ask to have any privilege taken from the East and given to the est and South, which they had a right to do. They did not ask for any ex elusive trift. They ask only to be placed on terms of equality in priv ilege with "solid men" and "capital ists. This they wished to have with the free consent of those who hold the monopoly. But they must, and will, have their rights, whether the monopolists and their allies are willing or opposed Gentlemen of the West and South, it is not advisable to contest your rights with the disuniouists of the present Congress, or accept any act they may pass. Take nothing but equality, and take nothing until, by a tried issue before the people,' you secure such an over whelming majority as shall forever place the combination of monopo 1 fjg with an organized body of editors in so feeble a minority that they never will again combine to proclaim cutter law in the race oi a free na nones peopie. ine in. raits offered through the press here to your great men cannot be forgiven. Your great statesman. Senator Morton, vour able and fearless Logan, and a hundred others, most be vindicated by the rotes of a free people who know their rights, and knowing will main tain them. These monopolists charge upon ' our country that the government is a cheat and swiavlle; that its prom ises are lies ; and that its money is a forced loan. They know this to . be false and libelous, and yet it is iterated and reiterated by Senators I who know their utterancesare fab3e t 07 ow tnsi our comea j-per

is money and nothing else; that it was made fa us because we have no gold, asxl cannot get it- It is our money, and w will not allow it to be isles front us ky tfceoristw. These men are false to the people, or they are ignorant charletana. These Eastern editors and mo noplists are disunionists. They are an intelligent and able body of well trained men. No union among freemen can exiit where there is not perfect equality. This they know, if temper allows reflection. For--equal Tights our' forefathers waged the wart of independence. For free trade and equal rights to our seamen we engaged in the war of 1812 with England. For equal rights we waged an internecine war with our bretheni of the South. For equal rights the chivalrous men of the West lost their best customers, and sacrificed their lives and property in a long and bloody war. In answer to the reasonable request you make to Congress, the combined press of Boston and New York and the monopolists answer, "Let him get who has the power, and let him kef p who can." It is needless to multiply words on this subject. TheTe is no real union, and there will not be until the West and South, by a united action, shall assert and make manifest their pov.er. Laying all other questions aside for the present, I pray you, gentlemen of the West and South, come together in meetings, conventions, and consultations, and declare that you are equal and not inferior to the banded press and monopolists of the East, and tho "Union must and shall be preserved" on terms of equalrighls, under the Constitution, to all men. You must repudiate and deny that the old cutter law exists in this Union, and

that vour motto will be "Equality against Monopoly." Your Westei n and Southern pre s should unite in this great cause, with perfect ac cord of feeling and action. The people of the East are with yon, and will applaud and aid yen. 1 have not allowed my mdivid nality or self to enter into this letter. I am a native of New York City, and am rapidly approaching a maturity that will take me bevond mundane affairs. 1 have nothing but love of Union, country, and humanity left Take an old man's blessing, and God speed in your ui ited action for equality and union.

Senate, Thursday last, a joint resolution declaring that it had become the duty of the United States to recog nize Cuba as one of the independent nations of the earth, and that the United States will observe a strict neutrality between the contesting i parties, lteforrod to t lie committee , on Foreign Relations. The follow ing is the full text of the joint reso lution: Whereas, It is the clear and tin - doubted right of any American colony to sever its connection with the mother country and establish itself as an independent, nation, whenever the good of the people requires; ana Whereas, The people of Cuba have declared themselves free and independent of Spain, have estab lished a government for themselves, and abolished negro slavery, and for more than five years have sue cessfully resisted all the efforts of Spain to reduce them to submission and re-establish the condition of negro slavery in that island, and where the war between Spain and Cuba has been, and is now being conducted with a degree of barbarity, shocking to all Christendom, and there is no reasonable piospect i establish its dominion over the j people of Cuba, and W hereas, In consequence of the proximity of the seat of war to the L nited States the war has been, and is injurious to the intereste of the people of the United States, and it is evident that a prolongation i of the contest will result only in great suffering and bloodshed, to be followed bv the ultimate recog nition of the independence of Cuba by Spain herself; therefore, be it Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in congress assembled, that it has become the duty of the United States to observe a strict neutrality between the contending parties durtng the further prosecution of the war and will accord to each of them belligerent rights and equal privileges and advantages in all points and places within the United States.

Wxdsespat, April 15, 1874. Ws come at this meeting, with hearts filled with thankseivinc to Him who always gives the victory to His trusting children. . - j, We are glad to welcome so many of you, and the interest your presence manifests, gives us fresh courage. Prayer meetings have been held daring the week in Friends' meeting house eu Fifth street. , At such times we have come into the presence of the Most High, and he has led us forth, whispering in our ears, "Fear not only believe? We were rheered by a large number of our business men on Thursday morning at our prayer meeting. After closing the religious exercise8 the remainder of this morning was spent in deliberation, and in appoint jag committees, one to look after the fouth part of town, the other to spy out the condition of things about the depot. Immediately after dinner four ladies went to pay their compliments to the gentleman upon whoec window is the inscription "Groceries, Provisions, Pure Wines and Liquors. Opening his door they entered. He was evidently not expecting callers of this stamp, and at first did not-seem to comprehend the object of their mission, He was not-long in discovering that they were not purchasers, and after having very politely asked tliein to retire, whieh invitation they di 1 not accept, he walked out and turned the key. They remained here about one hour. "J3y this time a party of ladies had come to the door, a prayer meeting was held, and the gospel preached to a large company that' had gathered round. From filteen to twenty ladies spent the afternoon on the pavement in front of his door. In the evening a reinforcement came, who remained till nine o'clock at night. Watchers were stationed at one other place at the depot. A committee was also appointed to visit Mr. Emerich in jail, but upon arriving, they learned that he had paid his fine, and had been released. On Friday morning it was deemed ltest to place watchers at all the saloons about the depot. Saturd.-iy morning dawned clear and cold. .Ml were somewhat surprised to find the ground covered with snow, and the temperature correspondingly cold. The Jadies, however, nothing daunted, were at their posts by seven o'clock A. M. We certainly thank the gentlemen who have been so faithful in providing warm bricks for us, also the kind la dies who have so bountifully prepared repasts We can truthfully say, we have eaten and been satisfied On Sabbath after noon, a temperance prayer meeting was held. Although it was chilly and raining, yet near five hundred persons assembled The meeting was opened by the reading of a portion of the 107th psalm t and by prayer. The gentlemen present were urged to take an active part part in the cxer cises and to feel perfect liberty. Kev. Mr. Agcnbroad said that a learned man had recently challenged the Christian world, and that now Gtd is vindicating His honor, and proving that He means what he says. by the words "He that asketh, receiv eth." Pravers were offered and several hymns sung. Joseph Moor thought it was right to give thanks, and that he who returned thanks even to an idol man nested a more elevated condition of the heart than he who is never moved with thanksgiving. Mr. Dudley seemed to think the work looked very encouraging, especi ally when we compared the present appearance of thing3 with that ol the 23th of Feb. last. Then thirty one saloons were carrying on a deadly traffic, public opinion was law, and laws were not enforced. He had noticed by the prayers and conversation of the ladies that they were looking, not only toiersuade the saloon keepers to change their busi ness, but for the conversation of their souls. The president said, "Our motto is trust, trust in the Lord." She also exhorted the sisters to keep their whole armor on, remembering the words of the Savior, "ty father worketh nitnerto, and i wore, and, As my father hath sent me, so send I you The doxology being sung, the bene diction was pronounced, and the con gregation dispersed At Monday mornings prayer meeting the members of the League were brought into thanksgiving on contrast ing the Richmond of to-day with the Richmond of six weeks ago Mrs. Coffin spoke very encouraging words, and was sure the Lord would give us the victory,- if we would lie passive iu his hands. The watchers took their posts at the depot. Two ladies called on one of the sa loonists, requesting him to sign tbi pledge, which he refused to do, stating it was contrary to his religion. He appeared to be tearing up his fixtures, preparatory to removal. . A meeting was held in front of Mr. Tullidges. Quite a large company assembled, hymns were sung, prayers offered, and the word of life preached. On Tuesday morning we were very much interested and instructed as we were at our post, a watchers, to hear from a gentleman and lady from Eaton.

Ther said that on Monday ia,-iht city, they continued in prayer for Jtf-

tees hours ad a halt; seing tte may for the election ofciljr oQcers -, The ohiect of their Brrwr, was fiat ftempernee men might be put into office. . At the dose of " each hour, the church bell was rang, whose tones sent consternation into the hearts cf the foe. Every hour the doxology was sung. Thus daring 'auV'thoso hours prayer and praiseascenilcd, ... ""When the news was - brought that the temperance ticket ; was carried, "Praise God was sung as it had nev er been sung before is Eaton. - As the praying people of this eity continued in supplication till the answer came, so may the praying people of Richmond, with the hand of faith, not only knock at Heavens gate, but reach clear in to the throne of Eternal, and bring down the answer. A most precious prayer meeting was held in the afternoon. We certainly felt that the blessed Holy Gho6t was our leader. . Three brothers from a distance were present whose words of cheer were gratefully received. On this morning the ladies went in a body to Charley u. where a prayer meeting was held. A large company gathered round, and fervent prayers were offered on behalf of the proprietor of the saloon. Stirring words were addrewed to the people.- . The ladies present have rarely ever felt the keeping jower of the Lord so forcibly, and words of life and salvation werj spoken with great boldness. After the usual afternoon prayer meeting, they held a meeting at Tullcdge's. Forbis And Stanfer's, also at Peter Arnold:. When we think of the wail of' perishing souls around us, of the moans of the broken-hearted .wife, of the sighing of the mother who has been cruelly robbed of her idol boy, of the tears of the sister who sees her broth er drinking the draught of death, when we think of all these things, is it any wonder that Christian men and women all over our county, are saying to the demon of destruction "Thus far shalt thou come, but no farther." , f No, it is not strange, that, in view of the whitening harvest, the church of God .should - send up the united prayer, "O Lord of the harvest send forth more laborers into thy harvestfield." FROM TERRE HAUTK. Terre Haitte, 4th Mo. 17, 1S74. Editor Pal l ADiuM:-On the 17th j proceeded to Brazil, Clay county. As the train drew ap to the depot I noticed quite a procession of people with banner and music. To my as tonishment 1 found it was waiting for my arrival. I was immediately hand ed into a carriage, and in spite of my protest, was paraded through town heading the procession, the band playing "Lo, the Conquering Hero Comes!" A pretty fix, thought 1, for a plain, unassuming Quaker to get into. Some wag shouted out that "This was the antidote to the egging reception !" which I had met with at a previous place. We had two immense meetings at Brazil Turner's HalK was filled to overflowing. On thettfl spoke to a full house at Bowling Green, the county seat of Clay. On the 10th I lectured at Terre Haute: Dowling's Hall was jammed to suffo cation. Here the Davis family opened the meeting by singing a song called the "Baxter Bill," which set the audience in an uproar of laughter. This meeting was a grand success, which was all the more cheering because in this city there met a short time ago, all the editors of the German papers ia the State, and resolved that every one of their papers should attack the Baxter bill and advocate its repeal at the next legislature. I was rejoiced to find that many of the leading men of the city Republican and Democrat were deeply interested in the temperance movement; we had for the Chairman of the meeting, one of the most influential Democrats of Vi go county. On the 11th I spoke twice at Rockville, Parke county; on the 12th again at Rockville and Bloomingdale. At the latter place I met our noble friend Barnabas C. Hobbs, who is well known to the citixens of Richmond I found his whole soul drawn out towards temperance. J ust as I arrived at Bloomingdale, friend Hobbs' wife was leaving home to attend the Phila delphia Yearly Meeting of Friends, as one of a deputation from the West ern Yearly Meeting. 1 hope their visit will be productive of much good Ou the 13th I spoke at Montezuma at 2 p. iu., and at Newport, Vermillion county, at 71 p. m- Both meetings were large and deeply interesting. On the 14th at Perrysville at 2 p. m., and at Eugene at 7i p. m. At the latter place I partook of the kind hospitalities of John Grovndyke, the Representative for Vermillion county, who stood nobly by the temperance bill in the House. , .,; ;1 Ou the 15th I had two meetings at Clinton; one in the morning with the women who are moving in the good cause, and a publie meeting in the evening. 1 There are: two saloons in this town, but I understand there are cases of violations of law against them that will close them very soon. Yesterday afternoon I had another meeting in this city. To night I shall hold a third meeting here. In this city there is the largest distillery in the State, and I am sorry to say that it possesses great influence. Those interested in the traffic have agreed not to patronise persons interested in the temperance movement. 1 wonder these people cannot that that is a sword with two edges it will cut both ways if they are not careful.

Ia the Indianapolu Journal of the

rOth I saw a minority report of the Whitewater rrsbytry, touching the total abstinence question and the wosasn's BMvemeat. I am truly glad that it is the "minority" report, for I am sure that so far a I have gone through the State and I have visited 54 counties I have found the Presbyterian ministers almost unanimously supporting the movement, with the greatest cordiality.: Hence, it can only I-' be ayerv small portion of their min isters that wilt approve mis iuiuum " report. How a minister of the Gospel, truly and deeply concerned for the spread of Christianity and the growth of the church, can be opposed ; to any earnest movement to remove ' intemperance, h amazing to me; for surely it U the great stumbling block 'of the church. This minority report saysr "We ut- . terly deny that the Bible commands total abstinence. The word 'temperance' ia tho Bible means self-com-' mand, continence, moderation as to all the appetites." I think if these protestators will carefully examine 1 the derivation of the word teniperance, they will find it to mean the temperate or moderate use of that which is beneficial, and the total abstinence from that which is injurious. According to the testimony of Sir ' Henry Thompson, Drs. W. B. Carpenter, Mnnroe, Edmonds, Miller, and others, alcoholic liquors taken even in what these minority gentlemon would call moderatiwa, is injurious to the physical organism. Now, if theso protestators believe in the command of the Script ures, "Do thyself no harm," we cannot see how they can use intoxicating liquors, in what they call "moderation," without vwJarting that command. Because the BiUe does ttU in ex plicit words command total abstinence from intoxicants, therefore, they ia&r we should not totally abstaio. Does the Bible inexplicit words command total abstinance from theatres, racecourses, lotteries, gambling houses? We tail to find such erpKcit instructions; aad yet, we veutirre to say, that these minority gentlemeaalrise their congregation studiouely- to aveid sack places of esortete. . , In the absence of a direct decree in the prohibitiou of alcohlic liquors,, it is not for any one to dogmatize, but it must be kept iu miad, that the Scriptures are net a mere compendium in derail of tW duties f sociaHfe. They lay down great and important principles f morality a ad virtue for kauan guidance, ad leave tkese to be exem plified iu the daily walk and conversation of all who accept thorn, as a ruls of faith and practice. Let this mode of interpretation be accepted, and most of the difficulties which beset the wine questions the-Bi We aad kindred sabjects wil? disappeas. The Rev. Dr. Not says ia refeteace to this very Bible wine question, '.'Is the Bible inconsistetU: with itself?" No, it is not; and it seeming iucsnsisteacy will vanish, aud the Bible will be ia harmony with itself, in hasmoay with history, with science, and with the iovi deuce of God, if a cramiaatioa it shall be found that the kinds of wine were as unlike ia their oat ore a4 effects as were those mercies a ad judgments tor which, the same were respectively employed as symbols, or as were those terms of praise or dispraise by which the same were resDeetively. indicated. No 5ess than nine words are employed in the He brew Bible t eijwess the different kinds vIbobs bererage formerly in use; all of which kinds- of beverage are expressed ia our EngKk vvrsUa by, the single term wine, or by tbaA term in ctavBeeiioo with some other term expressive of quality. The term wine, therefore, as used iu our English Bible, is to be regarded as a genetic term, comprehending different kinds of beverages, and of very different qualities; some of which kinds were good, some bad; some to be wd freely and frequently, somo seldom and sparingly, and some to be utterly aud at all times avoided. By a mere comparison of the passages ia which the term wine occurs, this will be rendered probable. For it were difficult to believe that the wine by wbieb Noah was dishonored; by which Lot was defiled; the wine which caused the prophets to err in judgment, and priests to stumble and fall; the wine which occasions woe aud sorrow, and wounds without cause; wine of which he who is deceived thereby is not wise: wine whieh Solomon styles a mocker, and which is a Haded to by one who is greater than Solomon as a symbol of wrath. It were difficult to believe that this wine the wine mingled by harlots and sought by libertines was the very wine which wisdom mingles, to which wisdom iavites; wines which priests offered iu sacrifice; evangelists dispensed at communion-tables, anl which, "making glad the heart of man, was a fit emblem of the mercies of God." Professor Moses Stuart says: "My final conclusion is this, that wherever the Scriptures speak of wine as a comfort, a blessing, or a libation te God, and rank it with such articles as corn and oil, they mean, they cau . mean only, such wine as contained no alcohol that could have a mischievous tendency; that wherever they denounce it. prohibit it, and connect it with drunkenness and revelling they can mean only alcoholic or intoxicating wine." Now, if these minority gentlemen will use the expressed uafermented juice of the grape temperately and in moderation, and totally abstain from alcoholic wines as they do from the attendance at gambling saloons, theatres, etc., we venture to suggest, that they-will act far more in accordance with the true spirit and purport of the Bible, thaw thev are doing when they step aside to denounce the principles or total abstinence irom au inxoxica ting liquors, and the woman's move' meat lor the suppression of intemper ance. .
