We were 'forcibly, struck during the discussion, in the "Senate, of the bill making appropriations to the life-saving service, with the remarkable streak of economy that ran through that distin guished body of guardians over the public treasury. They consumed a large portion of several days in arriv ing at a satisfactory plan for cutting down the salaries of men who sit in watch and go out in boats on the wind lashed waves when the cry of peril comes and hum an life and property are endangered. Mny of the distinguished Senators thought $000 a year ample pay for the men who dash into the mad waters at the peril of their own lives when summoned to duty, and many of whom give up their lives in the dis" charge of that duty. "The laborer is worthy of his hire," and the hire ought to be in proportion to the demands upon the laborer and the character of the service required and rendered. We commend economy in our Senators, but cannot commend the consistency that pays pages, door-knob turners, coat guardians, sinecure clerks, etc., from $600 to $2,000 a year for trying to kill time during a session of Congress, and killing it the balance of the year, while it stints the pay of men who earn every dollar they receive and do more service to the country and their fellow men in one week than a score of the treasury fed hangers-on around the Houses of Congress do in a life time. We applaud the spirit of economy that guards against a wanton waste of the people's money, and would like to see it applied as Jealously when rich generals ask for princely life pensions, when great sums are bestowed upon public and private enterprises, when thousands are squandered upon junketing celebra tions and when funerals of dead FresiS dents are turned into costly saturnalia which plain people call a drunk, as well as when dealing out the niggardly pay to men whose services, of all men, ought to be appreciated and awarded, not ex travagantly, but reasonably. While discussing the question of tar iff reform, internal taxes, civil service, etc., this whole question of salaries ought to be revised. Theie is no good reason why men in the employment of the government should receive salaries so disproportionate to those paid in the business walks of life, where the same character of service is rendered and more of it required. As a rule govern ment employes have an easy time, reg ular hours and but few of them, from nine or ten in the morning till three or four in the afternoon, when they quit at the strike of the clock, and have the balance of the time to spend as their inclinations lead. This is all right. We don't believe in overtaxing them with work, but we don't believe either in overpaying them for the amount or ,character of work performed. Here is an opportunity for retrenchment in which Senators could distinguish them selves while practicing such rigid econ omy in dealing out pay to the brave men who fight old ocean in the effort to save human life. According to the report of the inter nal revenue commissioner there are in the United States 170,640 liquor saloons, or one to every 294 people. In the Ee- publican States there is one to every 260 people, while in the Democratic States there is one to every 480 people. This may be accounted for, however, by the fact pf the greater number of large cities classed as Republican. TMb report also shows that in Massachu- 8et ts, which has a prohibitory liquor law, there are 7,219 retail stores where liquor is sold. . The Southern States have a much smaller ratio of saloons than either the Northern or Western estates. The present system of the taxation is yielding a surplus above all probable ' demands, estimated at from $125,000, 000 to $150,000,000. This-surplus ex ceeds the whole amount of the public debt in 1860. It exceeds by more than fifty per cent, the entire expenditure of the government in I860, $77,000,000, of which amount $17,000,000 was on ac count of the debt. Proceedings have been instituted in the Philadelphia courts, by members of theKeely Motor Company, to make Keely divulge the secret of his alleged invention. But it was argued that he was tne only possessor of his secret, that it was in his head, and that no court could compel him to divulge it That's where Keely has the advantage or tne company. The arrival of a North Carolina sweet potato fleet is duly chronicled by the r- a receraourg, Va., Index-Appeal. The sweet potatofleet, it seems, in the esti mation of the Petersburgers, is an im portant constituent of North Carolina s merchant marine. The cost of living in Massachusetts is twenty-five per cent, higher than it was five years ago and yet the wages of operatives in the factories instead of Demg raised are reduced. Is there any wonder there should be strikes? -r I and chean and cheap sachusetts wants Chinamen labor. Mayor Breen, of Lawrence, Mass speaking of the strike by which 5,000 operatives are turned into the streets of the city, said : "The crisis has come and I am glad of it, for the strikers have been used like slaves and dogs by the owners of . the mills." It seems they have some excuse. It is reported that General Grant Is maung personal efforts at. Washington to bring about the reinstatement .of, Fitz John Porter.

Smythe.of this State, as minister to Liberia, was at the suggestion of Gen. Grant. Smythe filled that position un der Grant's administration, but was re moved to make place for Henry High land Gannett; who died there. He is a lawyer by profession, said to be a man of considerable ability and is as black as midnight ' ' The Washington Star states on what it calls reliable authority, that the Pres ident has tendered the secretaryship of the navy to Wm. E. Chandler, of New Hampshire, and that Mr. Chandler had accepted the appointment previous to his departure for Fortress Monroe, where he now is. Some idea of the quantity of Irish po tatoes imported into this country may be formed from the fact that within the past six months at the porfc of Bos ton alone $100,000 import duties were paid, being collected at the rate of fif teen cents a bushel. About fifty-four citizens of South Carolina, residents of soveral counties have been summoned to appear at Charleston before the United States Court next week to answer charges for violation of election laws. Minister Jewell is receiving a sound drubbing from many of the northern papers because of lack of spirit in de manding justice for Americans incar cerated in English prisons as "suspects," and many of them demand his recall.

The Chilian-Peruvian Correspondence -Secretary Frelinghaysen's Instruc tions to Mr. Trescott. Washington, March 28. In response to the resolution of the House for in formation concerning negotiations with Chili and Peru, another batch of tele grams was sent in to-day. Secretary Frehnghuysen explains that the State Department has received no informa tion whatever touching the alleged pro tocol suDmitxea to rem oy Chili, in a telegram dated February 4. 1882. Mr, Frelinghuysen instructed Mr. Trescott tnat tne United States would take no A. i ? A . 1 a a. pari in negotiations oasea DOin upon tne surrender or arapaca and tne pay ment of an indemnity of $20,000,000. The demand is looked upon as exorbi tant, and it is thought that the time has come when Chili may be magnanimous ana jusu On February 21 Mr. Frelinghuysen ceiegrapnea u Air. xrescotc as follows iou may assent toanoerai warm demnity which is not unjust. The ces sion of Tarapaca cannot be assented to without first cabling here for further instructions, if Chili should insist up- Al . 1 t ... . on uie cession, it is not impossible tha tne creditors of Peru may maintain that its revenues are hypothecated to tnem. xne President urges modera tion on tne part of Chili. inese two dispatches contain sub stantially the substance of the instrnc tions to Mr. Trescott, which are repeat ed at considerable length in subsequent uispatcnes. un x eoruary 24 Mr. Fre linghuysen referring to these hard terms of peace, wrote : "The President cannot permit this government to be a party to such a demand. If there is to be no modification in those terms, it win do tne pare ot wisdom in Chili to carefully consider to what the refusa may lead." The point which Mr. Tres cott is particularly instructed to press upon unui is the complications which may arise between Chili and Peru's creditors should she be dispoiled of the means oi paying ner debts. Mr. Fre linehuvsen aavs! "Thn not willing to involve the United States m tne complications which might en sue. He prefers to reserve to this gov- A. .a. .

If. m i A J m -mr. xrescott teiegrapns to Mr. re- linzhUVSen that Chili will Tint mnrtifv ner terms, and he asks Dermission to return to the United. States. JTa mavm the publication of the instruction sent to him and of his confidential tele gram nas made it impossible for him to do anything more, and he thinks that witn tne miormation he has obtained he could be more useful at Washi than at Santiago.

Grant at Chicago and the destruction of the unit rule by the delegations from New x ork, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. The, secret is out at last. .uen. (ireen K. Raum, commissioner of internal reve nue. made a great parade before and during tne unicago Convention of his friendship and preference for General Grant. Gen.Kaum was President of the Illinois Republican State Conven tion that appointed delegates to the Na tional Convention, and went to Chicago as the avowed friend of Gen. Grant. During the fight that has been going on in the Senate over the nomination of Thomas N. Cooper for collector of the sixth North Carolina district, Col. Thos, B. Keogh, who was chairman of the Bepublican State committee of North Carolina in the early portion of 1880, and who opposed the nomination of Cooper, was repeatedly asked why he did not carry North.Carolina for Grant in 1880. The best explanation that was possible was made from time to time, which was anything but satisfactory to the inquirers. But the other day, dur ing a con versatiohi)et ween Col. Keogh and Dr. W. H. Wheeler, ex-collector of internal revenue for the fifth district of North Carolina, the latter pulled a letter from his pocket, written in the early part of 1880, in the handwriting of, and signed by, Green B. Raum, ask ing Collector Wheeler to use his in fluence to have Sherman delegates sent from North Carolina to Chicago. It explained the activity of the revenue and custom house officers in North Car olina. Senators Cameron and Logan can now trace all tbe troubles in their States and in New York in 1880 to the efforts of Raum on behalf of Sherman. There is now no doubt that the entire revenue service of the country was manipulated in this manner against , Gen. Grant by a man who openly de clared himself the friend of Gen. Grant, but who was really the friend ot John Sherman and engaged in obtaining the secrets of the Grant leaders and fur nishing Sherman and his friends with the information thus obtained. The secret as to Wheeler bears out this construction. Wheeler refused to do Raum's bidding, and Mr. George B. Everitt was nominated for Wheeler's place by President Hayes. Everitt failed to be confirmed, and wa3 renomi nated by Mr. Garfield, and was con firmed. There is now on file in the Treasury Department a letter from Sherman to Garfield, in which Sherman said, in asking for the removal of Wheeler and the appointment of Eve ritt, tbat this was the only appointment outside of Ohio in which he had a per sonal feeling. So Everitt was nomi nated and confiuned, and is now col lector of Wheeler's district. These facts are only known to a few persons as yet. The conduct of Gen. Raum is denounced bv them as the most shameful piece of treachery to a friend known in the politics of this country. The same influences in North Carolina, as shown by the letter to Wheeler, were doubtless used in all the Southern States, which were all for Gen. Grant in all honesty and fairness. The votes of these States, without the unanimous vote of New York, Penn sylvania, and Illinois, would have nom inated Gen. Grant on the first ballot. Senators Cameron and Logan did not vote the other day on the nomination of Thomas N. Cooper. It is possible that they may have seen Raum s letter to Wheeler, and known that Dr. J. J. Mott resigned as collector of the ixth district only on condition that Cooper should succeed him ; that Raum recom mended Cooper to Secretary Folger, and that Raum lobbied in the Senate to secure Cooper's confirmation. Senator Sherman was exceedingly active in his efforts to have Cooper confirmed. It is now known that in the event of the re jection of Cooper Gen. Raum intends to press the Secretary of the Treasury and the President to allow Mott to withdraw his resignation and con tin we as collector. CONGRESSIONAL.
