The recent jeignatioaul.Pfc: Senator Gordon,?- Georgia bfecatifee.:Mavin. abilitrtoTtffltftoalarr, xaprather, his ability to better providefor his. family by attending to private lnter. ests, affords an opportunity sorng-J thing in regard to official salaries e will not stop to inquire whether the pay attached to the position of United States Senator is enough for the decent maintenance of such Senator, for be yond the prime necessaries and staple comforts, modes and expenses of living are largely matters of taste, of habit and of association. It is perhaps sel dom that a man called to office cannot covettKinWii'ecssarieS;ahd Staple com f wrtsw itlf' the salary -uttaohed-thereto, but it sometimes happens that he cannot do justice to himself and to his family by accepting such position. We presume no one will attempt to depy that a man's first duty is to his family. He is bound to consider that while there are others who could per rraps fill pul'lic;postions with equal sat isfaction to tlie people, there is none to assume the responsibilities he bears to those directly dependent upon him. The public have no right to demand such a sacrifice, for in some instances it cannot be considered anything less. It is only in exceptional cases that the P -Aft Wlflfl ofl natriolism 'demand it-' It wastoucMdemand that Gov. Vance yielded in 187 JorThvas assured Uiat in the then exKtinstle-.of affair?, no other coul(f 3'fitt tlie pofitfon he "was asked to assume. At a later period, a distinguished lawyer in the eastern part of the State was asked to become one of the justices on the Supreme Court bench, and declined, cundidly stating that the salary would not per mit him to give to his family the care and attention they had a right to ex pect from one situated he then was. IIerwe bi&e two men eini n ently qual ified meA&i)i6--liisiiest and mostTe- sponsible posit ions within the gift of the people, tlie one hesitatingand the other positively declining to accept, for rea sms which no man will" say 'were with out foundation, yiewed either from a moral loryTTaoTrv ufpictical standpoints The iuivmlfcaJfcjjdetJcy of such mea gre compensation as the salaries of pome of our State offices afford the two just alludei to, for instance is to ex elude from positions of public trust the best talent of e State. We do nt, intend jib inairitaiu that there should be a sweeping increase in the salaries of 11 State officials, but we do wish to protest against a disposition in tlie Statoio plaee qoine of the. most iniportajad-oflicatui'djcount, by the salaries that hva been attached to them. Notable among these is that of superintendent of public instruction. Not long flinca ah esteemed State con temporary called attention to the lack of significance attached to the office by showing that its present imeumbent received lcsa compensation than many bank clerks of limited experience and extremely ordinary natural qualifica tions. The possibilities of tlie office m inestimable, bat so long as its ap parent importance is illustrated by a paltry sum, its real usefulness will never be fully appreciated by the public at large nor by the incumbent himself. We aejr(pT3Cveiy a)raie ,that1ho inr mediate'practical good can come from a discussion of the subject now, inasmuch as there i3 no possi bility of changing the existing laws a tpresent, but the question of -salary naturally suggests itself in connection with the selection, that will soon be made, and no harm can come from call ing attention to the matter now. We are f urtliermDre . ;aw:tre . that this is not t'He'"pdp(itar 'side : 'df' ' this question, but confidently look, for ward to the time when people will no longer listen to the demagogic cry of retrenchment at the expensa of the use fulness ofp4iblicoflicexsf , One of these days they wilf cdme feb see tlrat the real need of refofnr 13 in ' the collection- of the tasVAjenforcementof proper assessmflnsfceAd'of allowing one por tion of the people to bear a just propor tion of the public burden.while others at their side avoid an equal share of this burden, byJjpfgf vQjIiartnotbef called by a gentfoMmraehai perjury.?.

It is proper that they should have all the informa tion necessary to form a just estimate of the worth and availability of each. For this reason, chiefly, we present this morning the record of one of the candi dates in relation to a matter which has been used agajnst him. It has evident ly been prepared with care and may be relied oh as a faithful reproduction of the records. Those who choose may read and draw their own conclusions. Reckless extravagance often marks the expenditure of the appropriations for government buildings, but it is er roneous to suppose, as many do, that the policy of erecting such buildings irt all leading cities is extravagant. The very reverse is true, as has been proven recently by the report of the committee on public buildings and grounds, show ing that the aggregate of rents paid an nually is not much less than $1,500,000, which is 4 per cent, of 37,500,000. This amount would be sufficient to erect suitable buildings in every city and town in the Union. One of tlie most intellectual men and soundest Democrats in Congress is Rep resentative Kurd, of Ohio. We are glad toseefthat he has friends who are ready to do their utmost to bring him for waid as t he nominee for Vice-Pres:-detit at Cincinnati. He is a general favorite m the House. The Greenback, party is not blacking the board thialyear. The Tennessee convention atlTaahville Tuesday was scarcely larger or Tnorc veighty th in that held at Greensboro lately, when four noble Romans called each other to order and passed resolutions. A "Washington correspondent quotes S,S- Cox as saying that' at present ev e.ything is favorable to a union of the Democracy of New York, lie said further that he had direct intelligence from Utica that Horatio Seymour would not and could not decline a unanimously-tendered nomination. How is it that Green B. Ruum, com missioner of Internal Revenue, is so ar dent a supporter of Grant? The col lectors will please note the fact and govern themselves accordingly. Tlie Sphinx still maintains his silence. They sent him a telegram an nouncing the result of tlie Illinois con vention, but he opened not his mouth, nor penned a line in reply. CABLE FLASHES.

The Speaker pro tern laid before thff House a message from tlie President urging on Congress the necessity of ac tion on UxeUteAgreementirred. The House then went into committee of tlie whole onthesundry civil appro Driatioh bill. Th&vitem of $75,000 for tlie National Board of Health was re tained as reported. Downey, of Wyoming Territory, moved to insert a provision authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury, in order that he may have accommodation for storage, to pay the sums of the commit- appropriated by the bill in lawful silver coin. Adopted amid applause and laughter S5 to 21. After disposing of six pages of the bill, thus finishing about c ne-half of it, the committee rose and the House, at 5 :45 adjourned. . v . . SEXATK.4-G ordon an n ounced that he had resigned his seat us Senator, and moved that the appointee be sworn in. The credentials of Gov. Brown were rcc6i V6(i. Edmunds remarked that they were dated May 21st, and asked if the date of Gordon's resignation was officially known to the Senate. It had been held by the Senate on some former occasions that the Governor of a State has no power under the constitution to appoint a Senator until a vacancy actually ex ists. ' Of course eyerybody knew that he had no objection to Brown's being sworn in, except the sorrow it gave him that his friend, Gen. Gordon, was to go away, but he thought it right to call the attention of the Senate to this fact. It might, perhaps, be better for the Senate to hold as a matter of convenience that the former decision was wrong and that a Governor might issue his com mission in anticipation of a vacancy'. Gordon stated that his resignation antedated the commission of his succes sor by four or five days. Edmunds said the question then arose, if the vacancy had actually oc curred on the 21st of May, the date of the commission, then by what constitu tional or other authority had his friend, Gordon, exercised his faculties of Sena tor since that date? That would be a puzzle, but he did not know that it would affect the present question. Hill, of Georgia, thought it had noth ing to do with the present Question which was simply whether Governed Brown be sworn in. lie moyettxnat.it be done. ' ' Brown thereupon was escorted to the desk, the modified oath administered by the President pro tern., and he took his seat. Cockrell, from the committee of chfims, reported favorably on the bill for the allowance of certain claims re ported by the accounting oificersof the treasury, known as the fourth of Jnly claims.

Rejected by a party vote, yeas 22, nays 33. The amendments proposed by the Senate committee on appropriations were agreed to. After the adoption of the amendment appropriating 85,000 for the continuance of the work of settling claims of States on account of swamp lands, the bill was passed. At the expiration of the morning hour the Senate resumed consideration of the bill defining the terms of chief supervisors of elections. Edmunds spoke at length in opposi tion to the bill, which he said was in tended to secure control of elections. He was followed by Rollins, of New Hampshire in a general attack upon the record of the Democratic party. He quoted from evidence of the outrages in the South and paid special attention to South Carolina, declar ing the "Hamburg massacre" was an unprovoked and unjustifiable at- tacK Dy southern., cnivairy upon a parading negro company, whose resent- tul comments, though not accompanied by violence, served as a pretext for the massacre or the whole town. On the conclusion of Mr. Rollin's re marks Mr. Butler said: The Senator from. New Hampshire has ransacked an the hlthy, dirty records in Washing ton and everywhere else for the pur pose of pronouncing the benediction upon my State. I simply desire to say now that w,haAJias been ,said is from beginBmg'io Dd contemptuous calum ny on the character of South Carolina. I shall take occasion hereafter to pav my respects td what the honorable Sen ator has said. I will not delay the Sen ate now. , , i: Mr. Lamar said he also wished tore ply to the statement of Mr. Rollins in regard to Mississippi, but was not well enough-to do so to-dy. - - About an, hour was thus occuuied in a discussibn between Messrs.

This morning, at G o'clock, Miss Lillie Glass, of Cokes bury, was fatally burned, lingered some hours in agony and died. A lamp on a cooking stove exploded and set tire to her dress. She rushed to the room of her mother, Mrs. J. E. Glass, and her mother and elder sister, Miss Julia, were seriously burned in trying to ex tinguish the names. The unfortunate victim was about 20 yeais of age. Mrs. Glass is well known as a teacher for many years in the Cokesbury Female College. Another Needle Story. A few weeks ago a young lady of Sal isbury, Md., was getting into a carriage and a sewing needle was by some means forced into her thigh, but being consid ered a trilling matter, little or no atten tion was paid to it at the time. Several days after this occurrence, however, her ankle pained her very much, and on ex amination it was found that the needle was the cause of it. In her efforts to get it out it broke, and she only succeed ed in getting one part (the eye half) of it out. The point remained, and two days after she felt that just below the knee, but was still unable to get it out. Two weeks then elapsed, and she felt something in her throat, but the ob struction was supposed to be a fish bone. After several efforts to remove it she at last succeeded, and it proved to be the point part of the needle. Thus, in a lew weeks' time, a common sewing needle enters a person at the thigh, :makes its way down to the ankle, then retraces its steps and goes up the body, and comes out at the throat. This may appear to be an incredible story, but it is true nevertheless. It is vouched for by a gentleman of unquestioned ve racity. Sibly Cotton Hills Company Organiz ed. Augusta, Ga., May 20.
