AXJaUSTA., QA,: Friday Morning, September 24, 1875. 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. J.HE urand lama, the ecclesiastical head of Buddhism, is said to have lately died. The Buddhists number three hundred mil lions. The heaven of Buddhism is anni hilation.—Baltimore Sun. Well, between the orthodox hell and annihilation, the latter would appear to be the more comfortable of the two. Fame.—Judge H. Y. Johnson is get ting the credit from “trained journal ists” of having “admirably managed the Clinton riot cases!” A young lawyer ;iu Indianapolis has re cently given evidence of a sublimity of im pudence before which the cheek of a light ning rod peddler is the veriest modesty. Having asked a young lady to appoint a day when she would lilrfc to go driving, he added: “In this connection I will say that lam only a poor young lawyer, who has expended his all to get an education to fit him for the practice of his chosen profes sion. Were I situated as J once was I would proceed differently, but as it is I hesitate not to say that my purse will not allow me to expend money for pleasure, and knowing you have ample means. I have no doubt you will be pleased to bear the expenses of the proposed buggy ride.” Chicago has improved on the invention of a card inscribed “ Hire a hall,” or “ This man was talked to death,” intended for the discouragement of professional bores.— The present device is a small cork fastened by a thread to the button-hole. When the speaker has out-talked his welcome the victim calmly places the cork in his near ear. 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.
