MILEAGE.

Some Interesting Facts From the Official Kecords. The Washington correspondent of the Laporte (Indiana) Herald, in his last letter to that journal discloses some very interesting statistics relative to the past and I present mileage of members- of Congress.

He says: I cannot stop to enumerate the thousand and queer things which meet one on every hand in looking over these old books of the Senate, but there is one portion, a very funny part of the record, which I cannot pass without mentioning. I discovered what I had either forgotten or never known before, that our good old economical friends used to pay themselves forty cents for every mile they traveled in going to and from the capital. I suppose it ordinarily costs about as much for a Republican to travel as a Democrat but however that may be, no sooner had the Republican party come into power than they deliberately cut down this mileage just one half. And how much do you suppose is saved at each session of Congress by this change? In 1859 there was paid to Senators $75,911 as mileage. In 1869, with six more Senators, there was paid |29,312 30, a difference of $46,598 60. Taking a like ratio for the House and the total amount paid to members of Congress in 182!) as mileage, was, in round numbers, $363,000, while the amount paid in 1869 $109,000, a yearly difference and

saving of $254,000. But, says one, "How can this be! If the mileage in 1869 at 40 cents, was $363,000, it certainly, at 20 cents, should be just half that sum, or $181,000. How is it it then that these Republicans draw $72,000 less than half as much as was formerly paid the simplehearted and unselfish Democracy?"

I must confess that I was a little puzzled over this myself, but after awhile I discovered where the joke came in. Here it is then. Members of Congress certify to the number of miles which I they travel, and their word of honor has usually been deemed sufficient. According to their certificates, then, these old fathers of Israel traveled a good many more miles than their Republican successors, and my heart finally bled for the virtuous old gentlemen, when I noted their long and weary search for this historic spot on the banks of the placid Potomac. Paul was an impostor. The pilgrimage of Japhet in search of his father was a pleasure excursion. Weston's trip to Chicago sinks nothingness. The only different)*} between them and the Wandering Jew is the fact that they sometimes come to a halt, while he, like Tennyson's brook, "went on forever and he- gat no 40 cents a mile for it either. There was Johnson, of Arkansas when he was Senator it was 4,000 from Little Rock to Washington and back. Now it is not so much by a thousand miles at least, so says Rice, his Republican successor. Think of poor Green, of Missouri, tramping 3,500 miles to reach the Capital, while Drake meanly cuts in across lots and saves over 1,500 miles, the former coming up at a cost to the people of $1,400, the latter for less than $500. We used to pay that eminent diplomat, Gwinn, of California, nearly $6,000 for coming to Washington. We get Cole, a Republican, here for $1,300. It cost us $800 every time that shining Democrat, Jess£ D. Bright, turned his face to the Capitol but Morton comes down for $359 a yeai\

Our own Graham N. Fitch had a very weary time of it, for he traveled 2,865 miles and finally reached Washington, after much suffering at a national expense of $1,146.

Pratt, though living in the same town, discovered some wonderful route 1,200 miles shorter, and so Ave get him here and back again, heavy as he is for $330 20.

That great aud good man, David Turpie, when he had the misfortune to be a Senator for a few days, wandering about like a lost slieep, until finally his eyes were gladdened at the sight of the dome, after having traveled 2,636 miles. Everybody knows that David had an eye single to the glory of his country, that he is boiling over with economy that so far as national interests are at stake, if a single improvement could be made in his mental organization, it would be by picking a feather from the wings of his integrity and yet Colfax, Packard, and others make the distance from Northern Indiana to the Capital from 800 to 900

miles shorter than did Turpie. Tin? trouble was doubtless with the arithmetic and not with David, but from one cause or another the calculation was wrong.

Davis, the great and costly Jefferson, traveled 4,000 miles every time he came to the Capitol, and charged us $2,000 for the trip. Revels, blacker, but more modest, living 150 miles further away, cut across the country 1,000 miles nearer, and charges lis $1,000 less for the job. But why multiply such cases As I said before, the saving by reason of the reduction in the rate of mileage, and the decrease in the number of miles which members travel now-a-days, amounts in round numbers to $254,000 yearly. I wish to add one thing more, and then I will close this letter, which is already too long, leaving the readers of this article to draw their own conclusions.

The figures which I have given, are taken from the official records of the Government, and challenge contradiction. If any one wishes to gainsay them the books are open for inspection."

With the prestige of having saved the nation, the Republican party could look to the people for a long continued lease of power, but happily it need not depend upon past services. It brings to its support the powerful recommendation of present fidelity.

It was the successful party of war it i$ also the successful party of peace. It was the party of liberty: it is also the chftoir pion of economy. It overthrew tliQj{ister it has elevated the man.

Let the record of Grant's Adjpinjstrar lion be fully spread before the people, and their gratitude and satisfaction cap not bj a question of doubt,

WASHINGTON, June 21.—The Secretary of the Treasury has telegraphed to the Collector of Customs at Wilmington permission for the Cuban privateer to proceed to Washington.

lied River War— Kiell Proposes to Fig-lit,

Ae. ST. PAUL., June 21.—The Pt •ens this morning publishes a letter from Pembina, which says that in case the Red River expedition continues to move westward Riell's provisional government will send an armed force to meet it. In this con^ tingency the independence of Canada will probably be declared.

The Press also publishes instructions of Riell's Secretary to Father Richat, one of Riell's delegates to the Government at Ottawa, in which he says. As regards the expedition it is viewed with much suspicion, and is not at all acceptable to any portion of the people. The Government and people of this country can not view this expedition in any other light than was the approach of McDougal as Lieuteuant Governor last November, and in view of the peaceful condition of the Northwest since the evil spirits had left the country, both among the various classes of people and with and amongst the Indian tribes, and the evident intention of entering into a confederation on satisfactory conditions by the fact of you and your co-delegates being in Ottawa, we deem this expedition as entirely unnecessrry, and believed the conditions dictated by the Canadian Government, which can not be effected without the act of 1867 in reference to British colonies entering Into condfodor«.tion.

Itailrond Acrldent—U. S. Mission to England, Ac.

LONDON, June 21.—A terrible disaster occurred this afternoon on the Great Northern Railroad. A large excursion train was run into by a freight train. Several cars were thrown from the track and three demolished. Thirteen persons were killed and from thirty to forty injured, some fatally.

The Committee of Commissions, in the investigation of the diplomatic service in Great Britain, were to-day informed by Lord Clarendon that the government had reason to believe that the United States intended to raise its mission to England to one of the first rank, and this must be reciprocated by the establishment of an embassy at Washington, in lieu of the present mission.

The JSrcwK says that the Canadian agent, who is reported to be on his way to England for the

purpose

creating

ill feeling against the United States government, oil account of the late Fenian raid, is on a fool's errand.
