Saving Money—A Hint to Supreme
Court Judges.
One great argument for raising the
salaries of Supreme J udges, indepen
dent of the solicitude regarding the tax
on their brains, is that the Justices can
not live comfortably on their wages. It
has been suggested that if any of them
are of such an opinion, they have an
easy remedy and that is to “step down
and out,” with never a fear that the
supply of material will be lost. But
we dare say the salary is great enough
if these Judges possessed half the wis
dom of the late Andrew Johnson in
.managing money. We learn forex
ample, from a correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, that Mr. John
son “never spent money foolishly, and
kept his personal expenses at a low
figure. At home he lived very plainly,
caring little for aught else than the
substantials of life. While President,
he saved more than half his salary—
never spending anything for useless
display. He used to say that a man
can live comfortably in the White House
on 310,000 a year. He always watched
his expense accounts very closely,
and under no circumstances would
let the outgo exceed the income.
He used to say that his experience in
life taught him that of all miserable
men those were most to be pitied who
lived beyond their income. * When a
man does that,’ he would say, ‘ the bal
ance has to come out of somebody
else.’ He abhorred debt above all
things, and during his life would never
get anything on ‘ credit.’ He knew the
value of a dollar, for he could recall the
time when ho worked with the needle,
cramped up on the bench, all the long
hours of the day for just 31.
“ His habits of economy and simplic
ity were formed in the severe school
of poverty, and he carried them with
him through life. He never occupied a
position that he did not make it a
point to save at least a part of the
salary. In his earlier life the opposi
tion used to try to make capital against
him because as legislator and Gover
nor he lived in a 4 cheap boarding
house ’ at Nashville. But they made
little out of this, for Johnson would re
ply that the salary was small—that it
came from the pockets of the people—
that he wanted it to be small, and that
to set an example to public servants
and to do what he could to lighten the
public burdens, he lived at a cheap
boarding-house, and ho was proud of
it.”
Spartan simplicity well becomes a
Judge of the Supreme Court of a Re
publican Commonwealth, and, wo dare
say, with proper management, even the
Chief Justice could keep out of the
clutches of debt and exist far more
comfortably than the majority of men
are now living. Of course if he plays
cards, bets at horse races, rides in ex
pensive vehicles, buys blooded horses
and belongs to expensive associations,
the salary of a Judge is insufficient,
febro Object in life would seem to be
lavish adornment of the person and a
persistent attempt to make him feel
that the preachers of the gospel have
all missed the most striking exemplifi
cation of hell. But, with modesty and
true dignity, and with a family not ut
terly given over to destructive propen
sities, even the Supreme Justices of the
State of Georgia can contrive, during
these hard times at least, to thank
God they are as well paid as they are,
that their pay is prompt and certain,
and that decent poverty can be more
incorruptible than wealth unlawfully
acquired.
The Fon of Politics.— Some witty
things always come out of political
campaigning. Old Uncle Wm. Allen is
the butt of much good-natured raillery,
and can Stand it about as well as any
body. The editor of the Harrisburg
Telegraph has this good hit:
“And so they have nominated my old
friend Cyrus for Governor of Pennsylvania,
have they ?” said old Uncle Bill Allen
when he received the news from Erie. “Well,
well! How things do come ’round. I’ve
known Cyrus—let mo see—well, I can’t ex
actly remember how long I’ve know’d him,
but 1 alius rather liked him. Me and him
had a good time at the destruction of
Jeru—” “Uncle, interposed Thurman,
“aren’t you a little mistaken In the man !
Wasn't it you and Titus that enjoyed the
little jollification ? you mention together ?”
“Well, I dunno but what you’re right after
all, Nevy, when I come to think of tt. You
see I get mixed pretty easy now, anyhow.
And then the nomination of that skunk
Pontius Pilate for State Treasurer set
me a thinking of plunderin’ ; and that, you
see, brought up the sackin’ of Jerusalem.
That’s how I got wrong. That Pilate was
alius a pisen, onery ;cuss!—alius sneakin’
’round to betray somebody, and then
washin’ his hands of it— blast him!” And
they couldn’t cool the old man off for an
hour or more.
The Georgia Insurrection.— A dis
patch from Atlanta, Ga., announces the
arrest of Joe Morris, the leader of the
late insurrection in that State, for whom
a reward of five hundred dollars had
been offered by the Governor. It is a
somewhat remarkable circumstance
that he should have been In communi
cation with the United States District
Attorney for several days prior to his
capture, and that a United States
Judge should have refused permission
to the Sheriff to enter a room in the
Court House where the criminal lay
concealed. The almost invariable sym
pathy manifested for negro criminals
in the South by Federal officials would
not seem to tend greatly toward the
promotion of the era of good feeling,
of which so much has been said of late.
[New York Herald.
Finance. —Peter Cooper says: “It
has generally been assumed that one
dollar in coin will float from three to
five dollars in paper.” He also affirms
that “in times of expanding credit, as
soon as contraction comes from any
cause, a panic ensues, for when pay day
j s reached, and coin alone cancels a
legal obligation, then a dollar in coin
is needed for every dollar in paper.”
This Mr. Cooper, calls a “vain fiction.”
Bill Allen long ago denominated it a
"barren ideality.”
The Maryland Split—S. T. Wallis— j
The Greeley Medicine.
Mr. S. T. Wallis, Republican-Reform j
candidate for Attorney General of \
Maryland, has written a letter accept
ing the nomination, from which we
quote as follows:
“ The Governorship of the State, which
you would desire to be conferred on me, is
an office the duties of which, in my present
state of health, I could not undertake, even
if other circumstances would permit me to
accept a nomination for it. I have, how
ever, consented to be the Reform candidate
for the office of Attorney General. That
place is in the line of my profession, and
although at considerable personal sacrifice,
I think I should be able, if elected, to dis
charge its duties to the satisfaction and ad
vantage of the public. I have accepted the
nomination simply because I sympathize
deeply with the present movement of the
people in favor of reform, and do not feel
that I ought to refuse to aid it with name
and character, assured as I am by so many
persons, of all parties, whose opinion I re
spect, that my nomination will contribute
to its force and its chances of success.
The question of success, however, has no
thing to do with my acceptance. Some
one must incur the responsibility of every
effort to reform abuses. If everybody com
plains but nobody moves, there will never
be any result. Success may not come this
year, but it will come at last, if there is
once a beginning. As I am, fortunately,
above the need of offlco, I cannot, I think,
be suspected of desiring it for any but hon
orable and public purposes. I feel that I am
in a position in which I have not the right
to say no to the pressing call of any con
siderable and respectable body of citizens
who think I can serve a cause which I agree
with them in feeling to be a just and im
portant one. I am fast losing, too, my
sense of political distinctions when they
are only in name. I had as leave defeat a
Democratic ring as a Republican one, and
have made up my mind to vote for the pro
motion of no public schemes of plunder or
private aggrandizement, if I know it.
Having voted for Greeley, upon the nom
ination o! the Democratic party, I think I
am fully entitled to vote for anybody I
please, on my own motion.
Mr. Wallis, we know for a certainty,
is a gentleman of unblemished charac
ter, of the highest intellectual attain
ments, and an ardent lover of Consti
tutional Liberty. He really abominates
Radicalism and was as true to the doc
trines of Lee and Davis as any man
that ever lived. He was in f the Mary
land Legislature when McClellan dis
solved that body by armed force and
imprisoned its members. During a
long and very trying incarceration in a
Federal Bastile, he refused to take
the oath of allegiance, and never did
do so. He has no ambition for political
preferment and never had. The cor
ruption of the Democratic party in
Maryland must have been flagrant and
enormous to swerve him from party
discipline. The most cutting stroke in
the letter is the concluding sentence.
He evidently thinks that voting for
Greeley fairly killed any imperative
allegiance to Democracy, pure and
simple. It is hard for a policy Demo
crat to answer that. But the faithful
few who repudiated Greeley and his
platform can all the more thank God
that they were not caught in a trap
which compels even a Wallis to seek
reform for his party outside that party’s
organization.
A Characterise
We were under the impression that
Wm. Lloyd Garrison and Ben Wade
had as good as died about the same
time. But just as the Ohio humbug
pops up in the West the Eastern scare
crow creates an excitement at a fune
ral, quite in keeping with his Paul Pry
achievements of an earlier day. It
seems that Mr. Garrison attended the
last rites of one John C. Benson, an an
cient crony, who hated negro slavery,
so-called, and dearly loved a high tar
iff. We quote the account giving the
transactions at the grave :
The Rev. Mr. Grennell, a Baptist cler
gyman, officiated at the funeral and deliv
ered a very orthodox sermon, upon the fact
of death being the wage of sin and all that,
whereupon the venerable William Lloyd
Garrison followed with some strongly
dissenting remarks, taking all the mourn
ers by surprise to hear such a .thing at a
funeral. Mr. Garrison saw nothing in
death but a natural sequence of life and
esteemed it as one of God’s mercies to man
and the gateway to heaven. He cared not
what a man’s faith or creed might be. If
he lived uprightly and made the world bet
ter for the fact of his having lived in it he
believed he would not go far astray. He
entirely dissented physical death with the
ideas of the preacher, in that it was the
wages of sin, but argued that It was as
natural for a man to die as it was for him
to be born. His remarks were beautifully
eloquent throughout, and his blow to the
orthodox sentiments of the reverend gen
tleman officiating was a severe one. The
Dominie had the best of the argument at
last, however, giving Mr. Garrison a re
taliatory clip in his concluding prayer,
thanking the “ great Father who has said
that death was sent into the world as a
punishment for sin.”
We reproduce this to show, not that
Garrison or Rev. Mr. Grennell had
the better of the dispute, but the dis
gusting tendency of such creatures as
the former to stick a miserable finger
into everybody’s pie, just when cour
tesy, good sense and the exigencies of
time and place demanded non-interven
tion. It was an old trick which Garri
son had played upon the people of the
North with regard to slavery. He per
suaded this people that it was their
duty to wipe out negro slavery in the
South,‘by waste of white blood and trea
sure, if necessary. He convinced them
that the “sin of human bondage” was
upon their souls, and that God Almighty
required of them to take possession of
the conscience of the South. A nice
mess the pestilent intermeddler has
made of it! He may go to heaven—
we hope he will—but if it were possible
that such a creature could carry his
peculiar characteristics into the man
sions of the blest, we, for one, should
prefer a Buddhist annihilation to life
everlasting in company with him and
his followers.
“Greenbax.”— A correspondent of the
New York Tribune, writing from Penn
sylvania, dolefully confesses that the
greenback platform will sweep the
State. He says, In a majority of coun
ties, the man who talks ‘'hard money”
is a candidate for mob law.
Galveston.— According to the News,
the total loss of Galveston by the re
cent cyclone will not exoeed 3200,000.
Few cities in the Union are so well able
to stand that misfortune.
Jackson. —The Count Joannes says:
“In Boston, at old Faneuil Hall, du
ring the civil war, I pronounced an
oration in reply to Senator Sumner’s
speech in New York upon our foreign
affairs. In the course of my oration I
gave a glowing description of Gen.
Stonewall Jackson, reserving his name
until my climax. There were over two
thousand citizens present, and upon
the heroic name being heard it was
thought my life was in hazard; but,
on the contrary, cheers upon cheers
followed.” Some of the grandest and
best men we ever beheld are living in
New England to-day, and such have
always dwelt there.
Ralston. —Eulogies on Ralston are
the order of the day in San Francisco.
They run into hyperbole and almost
Into blasphemy. Moral: When you
steal, steal largely. Then you are a
“financier,” and when you die monu
ments will be erected to your memory.
The man who robs another of 350 is
sentenced to twelve months’.imprison
ment. His fellow-rogue, who appro
priates a thousandfold more and does
immensely more harm is a hero, a
saint, a developer, a grand man and, if
he does n ’t shoot, poison or drown
himself, has the whole continent to ex
ploit in.
Precipitate.—The Washington Chroni
cle says :
As for poor old Ruffin, who died by Lis
own hand, in despair at the defeat of the
lost cause, we shall insist upon his heirs re
ceiving a good pension, on the ground that
he was the only one of the last ditchers to
keep his words good, and who actually died
in the last ditch, so that if he loses the
honor heretofore ascribed to him, his des
cendants shall be rewarded with a hand
some allowance from the public crib.
Had Mr. Ruffin lived to this day he
would have had no cause to commit
suicide. The “results of the war” are
beginning to make the ’Abolitionists
squeal. Mr. Ruffin was too .quick on
the trigger.
Leading.—The St. Louis Times hav
ing attributed some influence to the
Courier-Journal politically, so far as
the South is concerned, the Nashville
American “seizes the opportunity to
assure the Times that the Courier-Jour
nal has no more influence upon South
ern sentiment than moonshine has upon
a frozen fountain.” Even if that foun
tain distilled sherry and champagne it
would make no difference.
Mock Nobility.— The New York Mer
cury says there is anew secret order
in the United States, called the “ Holy
League of Peers.” It Is a conspiracy
against freedom. Shoddy nabobs are
conspiring to get Dukedoms and Mar
quisates. Suffrage is to be restricted,
and a “Republican Empire” establish
ed—a sort of Mardi-Gras, in point of
fact. .
Reward. —A Staten Islander offers a
reward of 3500 for the best treatise on
“How to [make outdoor life attractive
to the mosquito.” Let the people camp
out during the summer season. That
will attract the .mosquito from the
house. We will take the 3500, if you
please.

A young lawyer ;iu Indianapolis has re

THE CARDINALS.
Not So Poor, After All.
[T. Adolphus Trollope’s Rome Letter to the
New York Tribune.]
Among the twenty-four Cardinals re
sident at the Apostolic Court, four, or
five at the outside, suffer the bitterness
of a poverty entailed by an income of
only 36,000 a year. These are mostly
members of religious orders, whose no
tions of poverty when they vowed their
lives to the practice of Catholicism
must have been a somewhat different
one! Passing them by, however, we
may begin with Cardinal Patrizi, the
Dean of the Sacred College. He Is a
rich man by his own private fortune.
But beside this he has at least 38,000 as
Vicar of Rome, and fully as much
more from sundry simple benefices.—
Cardinal Amat possesses 322,000 a year
from the enormous prebends which he
holds, besides his own very considera
ble private estates. Cardinal di Pietro
draws 312,000 annually from the Bish
opric of Albano, and as much more
from the pension paid to him by
Portugal. His Eminence, Cardinal
Sacconi, Bishop of Palestrina, has a
revenue of equal amount. Cardinal
Asquini, as Secretary of Briefs, enjoys
a yearly income of 320,000. Cardinal
de Luca’s yearly revenue amounts to
330,000. Cardinal Bizzari has from per
quisites and fees alone, 38,000 a year.
Of Cardinal Bonaparte’s poverty little
need be said. Cardinal Berardi’s rev
enues from ecclesiastical and secular
sources exceed 3100,000 a year. Cardi
nal Franchi receives over 312,000 a
year from the College of the Propagan
da, besides rich pensions payable on
certain - Spanish bishoprics, as an
agreeable souvenir of Queen Isabella.
Cardinal Oveglia has 310,000 a year.—
The poverty of Cardinal Antonelli is
too well known to need mention. The
fees that come to him on the promo
tions to the purple and to all benefices
bring him in a secure yearly income of
360,000. Caterini and Chigi are also
right well provided far, So that upon
the whole the Voce della Verita’s la
mentable cry of “Pity the poor Cardi- ,
nals ” inspires us with but a moderate
amount of sympathy.
