The Frrgldfnt's Salary. BY a vote of 31 nays, to 24 yea?, the

Let us consider the case f«»r a mc ment. The Salary of a President can neither be increaeod nor diminished during bin term of office. Any change in the compensation of the position must take eflect offer tbe term of the President during whose incumbency of the office the bill was passed, and by whom in the course of legislation the ict must have been signed before it could become a law, unless passed over hie veto by the requisite two-thirds majority. Our fathers showed a wise foresight in the incorporation of this provision in tbe Constitution. The President is considered the servant of the people. His compensation is the result of a contract, lie iijrreeing on the one hand to perform the duties of the office for the stipulated salary, and the people on the other hand bindiDg themselves to pay him that amount*. Neither Congress nor the President, separately norcollectively,can change the terms of thia solemn contract. Thus by the provisions of our fundamental law, the Presi-

dent's compensation Is safe from'the

For stealing vastly lees amounts, plenty of men are Serving out terms in the peneientiaries of tbe laud. With a mockery of zeal we denounce Belknap, as if he was the first grand thief in the administration, that had been caught, and we have winked at the President in signing a bill, plao in his own pockets, money which the people did not intend paying him. It was dond under the color of law and there is perhaps no legal remedy. It is therefore BO much the more disgraceful and damnable.

We marvel at the frauds in all the partments. Is it then really mattjr of surprise? Belknap saw the president do this thii^g and be heard D)ople praising not denouncing G.-aut. Was he not justified in sup poking that only knavery was ad-? xnirable?

His salary is $8,000 per annum. He omnot enter into- collusion with emgrcssmen agreeing to sign bill letting them steal back pay on condition of theirdoubling his own salary. Stopped from stealing iu the Oirccilcn left open Uj tbe Pne*

The instincts of tbe lower ardiee his reputation, by signing bill for an increase r.fthe salary attaohiriK to the presidency which could not begin during his own term and the benefits of which could only accrue to hlB successor. So great particularity* on this po-nt would have seemed supeifluous, Men might say ai.d indeed would say, that the occupant of so htgh and honorable a position would have too much self respect and too high a regard for his own reputation to be a party to any scheme for a violation of bis contract with the people by increasing his salary. But the country has fallen upon ft venal age, when not only such a president can be found, but one bIm small e~ nou«h to take

advantage

of a technical defect In the law to accomplish his nefarious purpose. The founders of the Republic did not contemplate the possibility of a President at the end of his first term, and after he had been re-elected to the office, siguing a bill increasing his salary during the second term. If they did, and it is an open question yet, then Grant violated the letter of the constitution, in signing the law which took from the National Treasury $100,000 and placed it in his own pocket. But whether or not he violated the letter »f the Constitution he certainly violated its spirit, and not only that but deceucy, too, in signing the bill whioh paid him during his second term 5100,000 mork than iu the canvass he had agreed to take or the people to give him. If there was in this conduct of the President anything different from a

b«uate yesterday refused to reconsider tbe vote by which the bill reduc® log the Presidents salary from $50,000 historian with tbe unenviable record to $25,000, was passed. A reduction Of the President's »alary to the old figures Immediately after Grant's retirement, is a rebuke which would kill,a Ronsiitivo man, if we can be allowed the preposterous supposition th»t a sensative man could have possibly Rotten himself into a place where he would so richly have deterred such treatment

the House will pass the original bill. That will leave Grant to the future

of having increased bis own salary to a figure at which cougress refused tocontinue it after the expiration of his term of office. He will be known to oistory as the high priced president of the Republic, and people will look in vain to discover in what particulars his service was worth twice as much as that of Washington and Jefferson or of .Jackson or Lincoln,

EVEKY IMDY In general aud ardent Republicans in particular are bouncing detective Bell for his testimony before the Clymer Committee concerning Grant, Babcock and Luckey. Tlie unpardonable sin which Bel) has committed consisted in his telling a fearfully damaging story about these lofty officials. They call him a dead beat, and a selected assortment of other names ol' a personal character and too numerous for mention. All this trouble they might have spared themselves. It was wholly unnecessary. On all sides it was admitted that he was a spy for Grant and did dirty detective work for Babcock. This is sufficient on that point. And yet he might have told the truth.

IN the defeat of David A. Wells, for Congress, the whole country is a loser. His successful Republican competitor is a man named Waite, whose chief claim to public attention lies in the 'fact that he defeated the foremost political economist of the age With all his ponderosity of name Mr. Well's successful competiter will be a feather weight in Congress, or if not that, will certainly not perform the duties with half the intelligence of the man whom he has beaten.

Lawyers' Fees.

Wiihin the past few weeks law yer.-' fees have been attracting not a little attentiou from the press, it is a matter, perhaps, which demands the consideration of the people. With the motive which prompted its presentation at this particular time, we have not, however, any sympathy. Even the most casual observer of events must have noticed that it has been pushed to the front as a species of blind to distract public attention from knavery of a damnable kind, the consideration of, and punishment for which unmistakeabiy belong to the public. Lawyers' fees in the main affect only private interests, aud if wrong has been done, redress can be obtained by the aggrieved party through the courts. Publitf interest may not be subserved in every instance by discussing each particular* wrong of this kind. If overcharges by lawyers demand discussion by the pms, doctor's fees are no less amenable to the same tribunal. Ail professions an equally liable to have the private business between their members aud those with whom they are professionally engaged dragged before a pruriently curious public and discussed in an unfair fashion. Tliis may be.fascinating employment for editors, but it is to our thinking, a species of meddling in private business wholly and entirely unwarrantable. The sort of Jury that a newspaper summons for the trial of cases which it argues has a limited jurisdiction. It's verdicts are not infallible. Strange as it may seem a very great deal of' business done iu this world belongs only to the people who are transacting it, and the community at large are guilty of unwarran'a" ble intrusion when they attempt to interfere.

With so much for a preface concerning a matter about which peop'e appear to have labored under a misapprehension, we wish to make mention of a curious case of practice by that most eminent of New York attorneys, Charles O'Conor. It will be remembered that Mr. O'Conor was the attorney for Mrs. Forrest., wife wot the eminent tragedian of that, name^ in her suit for divorce and alimony. Mrs. Forrest employed him, stating before the beginning of tbe suit, that she had no money. Mr. O'Conor, however, took the case, aud through along and bitter tiial, in which every inch of the ground was fiercely contested by the eminent attorney for the defense, watched over tbe ihterests of his client, and carried the case to a successful conclusion. He obtained a verdict for f3,000 a year alimony which was afterwards increased to $1,000. Forrest delayed the payment of this money by one deviceand another for several years, until he was finally forced on pay* meut of arrearges to give her at one time $(14,000. Of this sum Mr. O'Conor retained as a fee $59,000, giving his client only $5,000. It is to b3 said further however on his side that tba costs of the suit he had paid out of his pocket, with perhaps some few advances of money. What this amounted to does not clearly appear, though it is generally agreed that he retained over 50 per cent of tbe amount, recovered for fees. But this not tbe point which makes the questiou one of public interest. If his charges are too high Mrs. Forrtst could have sought redress through the courts. Mr. O'Conor gave it to be understood that he was prosecuting the case for nothing. On tblp understanding some thirty ladles of New York, to show their appreciation of his chivalrous conduct in da fendibg gratuitously a wronged woman presented him with a magnificent silver vase. Nor was this all. Sixty members of the bar on the same hypothesis presented him with a handsome silver pitcher. All through the presentation ceremonies attending these two gifts the idea was prominently advanced that he had rendered gratuitous services to his client Tbe papers took it up and his praises were sounded from one end of the land to the other. He was commended as a modern type of the knights which made king

Arthur and the round table famous in song and story. The wily old lawyer drank ail this praise as the parched land after a drought ab» sorbs the copious rain, and all the while he was considering whether he should take fifty or seventy-fl*&per cent, in feee. We do not complain of the fee, or call him a devil,' bnt it certainly was not angeliq In him to palm himself off as a saint when he knew perfectly well tie was not. Chariei?. com? Uy wn.

Wheu Mr. Paige went out Mr. Wallace turned toward the door, and noticcd that the man he had seen a few moments before was gone.

It is now thought that this man watched his opportunity, when the backs ol all present were turned toward him, and secrottd him.-e!f on the north side ot the counter.

The store was closed up in a few moments after Mr. Paige left, Mr. Trask, Mr. Wallace and Mr. Cleland passing out together. Mr. Trask afterward passed the store on his way home, at abont eleven o'clock. Tbe gas was burning brightly at that time.

James Stat/., a young man in the employ ot Mr. Trusts, went to tne sturt about eight o'clock yesterday morning for tne.purpose of turning oil tbe gab whicU is leit burning duiing tbe night. As fcoou as he entered the store be noticed thut tbe show cases had been rilied. and on »i hurried examination, the diarovered thut nearly every art e'.e of vaiue, which was not locked iu tne safe, had been carried cfl\ He at once notified Mr. Trask of tbe robbery, and the assistance of the police was (-ought immediutely. OfBcer Vandever at once began to work up the case, but thub far has boon unable to obtain any i.lew to the thieves. The tront door was locked when young Stat/, entered the the store in too morning, and there was no evideuce of its having been tampered with. The rear door which had been locked autl bared, was open, having been unlocked from the inside. Mr. Trask and oflicer Vandever are both of the opiniofi that the thief, or one ol the thieves, entered the store before it was locked on Saturday evening and secreted himself. There are only throe doors to the store room. Tbo front door,-which is secured by a patentj lock, aud boro no evidence of nav.ng. been opened. The door leading to the cellar, which was secured by a strong lock and an iron liar this had not been disturbed. The rear door is never unlocked ex-c:-pi wnen the passage through it is being used, it is secured by a heavy lock in whioh tbo key is left day und night. At night the door is barred with a heavy iron bar. This door was stand ing open when tbe robbery wa3 discov ereiJ in the morning. This door was opened lrom the inside, by somo person who hucl either beeu secreted in the storeroom, or had entered the front door by a duplicate key. All the tnost.valuable articles in the show cases were ts.ken, consisting of solid siver ware, heavjly plated jewelry, gold pens, spec.acles, opera glasses AO. The thieves displayed an intimate kuowledgo of the location of the most valuable goods, as the cheaper articles had not boen disturbed ab all. Be ween eight

Mr. Wallace, says some one entered just behind Mr. Paige aud stepped over toward the reguldtor, whioh btands on the right side of the door as you enter the eatablishroeut.

I think that 1 can induce yon to become ona Now, let's see the Bible tells you everyone that your onlj hope is through Jesus Christ." "I don't think it does," paid the young man. "The Old Testament *ays nothing about Him, and 1 don,t believe in the New Testament." "Ab!" said Mr. Mondy, eyeing him closely, "You're a Jew." "I am, sir," replied tbe other. "Hut tbe O Testament does constantly refer to tbe coming ol Christ." "It does* in the headlines of the King James' version," said the young man, "but they are put over ths chapters without any warrant by the text." "Dots not Jacob say—The sceptre shall not depart from Judab, nor a lawgiver from between hin feet until Shiloh comet-?" "Who is Sbiloh? Jems was never called Sliiioli. llow can the passage possibly refer to him? Hesiues, thf translation is wrong. It should read, 'Uuiil you come to Shiloh.' The pus sage has purely a political reference." "What do you say about the prophecies of Isaiah'.'" asked Mr. Moody. 'Which one? That of the seventh chapter, which in the King James versiou reads, "Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and she call his name Immauuel!" "That is one of them that prophe sies the coming of Jesus "1 think not," said the youug man "In the first place, the translation is incorrect. The Hebrew word liaiguolmah means the young woman, and not 'a virgin.' The passage should read, 'Behold the young woman is with child, about to bring forth a son,' The words were uttered by Isaiah to the wickdd Ahaz, King of Judah, who was alarmed at. the approach of the armses of Israel and riyria, which were about to attack Je rusalem. God sent the prophet to him to quiet his fears, but without success. 'Ask God for a sigu, then,' 9aid Isaiah. Ahaz refused, sayiug, 'I will not tempt God.' 'Well then,' said the prophet, 'God will give thee a sign, thou impious man. Behold the young woman is with child, and about to bring forth a son, and she shall cill bis name Immanuel, and oefore the boy shall know how to call his father aud mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoils of Hamaria shall be taken away before the Kinb of At-syria*" The next chapter tells how the woman spoken of was the prophet's own wife, and that the child was first called 'Immanuel' (God with us) and afterward Maher-bhalnl-hash-baz. The fulfilment of the prophecy is given in the reccnd book of Kings,which describes the overtbrow of the hostile armies under the Kings Pekah and Leziu. Do you blame me for beleivlrig this interpretation of the prophecy in preference to yours, that God to convince an impkiud man like Abfz, promised him as a sign that more than five hundred years after his death Jesus shoii'd Come on earth. "How do you get over tho flftythiid chapter of Isaiah? That plainly speaks of Christ," said Mr.Moody. 'IThe best Biblical scholars have failed to explain the meaning of that chapter," replied tbe other, "but it is impossible to make out of it a prophecy of the advent of Jesus." "Does it not say 'He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iuiquitles?" urged the preacher. "It evidently refers to Jesus." "That phrase may fit, but you can not take the whole chapter and make it apply to him," was the answer. "You have no right to wrench averse here and there from its uontext to suit a special purpose. Christianity ought not to be dependent upon such artifices An atheist might as well take the word of David,' the fool hath said in his heart there i* no God,' and omitting tbe first clause, use the latter as a biblieal argument in favor of an theism."

During the conversation Mr. Moody was interrupted two or three times by some of his deacons, who wished to apeak to him but each time he waved them away, and motioning to his companion said, "Not now, not now don't disturb u3. I am very busy. This is very important. "The rel giou of Christ," be resumed, "has stood tbe test of nearly two thousand years

"And that or Moses twice as long,", said the other. Mr. Moody paused, and looking at his visitor with an air of curiosity mingled with pily, said "It. is strange tnatyou Jews should reject Jesus, who was himself a Jew." "Is it stranger," said the other, "than that tbe Christians should have prosecuted the Jews for centuries only on account of their belief, after thinking a Jew, who was not even a perfect man, gord enough to be their God?" "Not a perfect man? How can you say that?" "Did he not curse the Pharisees, tbe most learned sect of his day, to which be himself belonged, and call them 'a generation of vipers'—a most unjust and sweeping condemnation of a whole political party. To hi* own mother he said, 'Woman, who art thou?'" "He did not curae tbe Pharisees," aaid Mr. Moody. "He called them vipere, as I might call persous viper*, but calmly and without any anger." "Such language might be pardonable in an ordinary man, but not one who ta held up as a God. Beside*, the Jews could not recognize Jeeus

they knew only as the son of

Mary and Joseph thecarpenter, as the Messiah, tbe royal descendant of David. They were longing for the Messiah, and would willingly have believed in the claims of Jeans if they could.

Mr. Moody. "The Romans crucified him," reylied tbe j"ung man "It is true the

Jews demanded his death, but not until he attacked the fundamental *nd most sacred principle of Judaism—tbe absolute unity and indivisibility of God. Buthow can you blame them, when you believe Jeus preordained that it should lie so? If the Romans and Jews had not pat him death, you would have no Saviour for you to tell that it is only through his blood that one can be saved, lie— #ldee, did not, Je&us himself say: •Forgive them, they know not what they do?" "I do not blame the Jews, and I have never spoken against them,''

Mr- Moody. "The statement in a Philadelphia newspaper that I did is untrue. I never stc a JewbutI feel like taking off my bat to him. In my opiuion your peoplo are destined to be the great roi«ionaries to convert the world to Christ. What better agency could there be You arescatteieil throughout the earth, and speak all languages. I believe you will all go back to Jerusalem ore day, and be restored to your old kingdom. Don't you?" "No, I do not," was the reply. "You never could induce Intelligent Jews to settle iu such a miserable, sterile little patch of land as Palestine, when they can sit in luxury in their homes iu London,Paris, Frankfort and Berliu, and ILne coutrol the commerce of nations and the destines of empires. Why should they go back to Palestine? In all their ancient glory—which was not very great after all—tbey were never as prosperous and as powerful as they are now." "You will go back to Jerusalem, and you will all he brought to Christ at last," said Mr. Moody. "I tell you its bound to come." "I have given you some reasons for not believing in Christianity and I could give many more," said the young man, "I am open to conviction, but I can not believe what my reasonj rejects, Prove to me that Christianity is purer than Judaism and I will become a Christian."

It is a matter of reason. Conversion must come from the heart, and not from the head," replied the preacher. "But it will come at last. You will all bo brought to Christ."

"By a miracle, I presume. Do vou believe in modern miracles, Mr. Moody y' "Well, I dou't know. Every conversion is a miracle, I suppose. But when I was in England a Mr. Midwood assured me that a female relative of his had, by means of his prayers, been cured of a disease of long standing. You can write to him if you like, and he'll tell you all about it. Address him 'Care of the Young Men's Christian Association, Manchester.' Surely that was a miracle. Now if I should convert you, I should call it a miracle.'' "So should I," rejoined the young man. "Have you made any Jewish con* verts?" he asked as he rose to leave. "Well, several have stood up and professed Christ. But," said Mr. Moody, as he took the visitor's proffered band, "I cannot say that I put much faith in converted Jews." -[New York Sun.
