Saturday Horntnif', /?pril^36, 1*73. General Fabnswobth on tub Back Pay.?GeneralJonn F. Farn?worth, ex Congress man from the Second, .Illinois District, has ?ritten a long letter, de? voting his share of back pay toward the abatement of taxes in his district, be? cause in theory each district pays its own member, and, on the supposition that some members will retain their share, if he wero to return bis to the United States Treasury, the amount wohld still be paid by his district. "Besides," be adds, "if it were returned to the National Treasury, it would always be a tempting subject for a olaim either for myself or my representatives." General Farns WOrM quotes the Conetitntion to show that its construction means that tho pay ol the -president shall- ?ot bo idoreased during :^-p*Worf for wbioh ho phall be eleoted^and argues that it does not mean for a term of fonr years, and t.hat the f or met ?ord'overs the jWjaoIe^mft. be it one, two oV a'dozan terms. IJe also al? leges that larger salaries are not necessa? ry now than formerly .to live in Washing? ton. He compares " the "allowances," ''incidentals" and "contingencies" ap? propriated for Jit.

M,rr?i????>? ?:?> ? SaavjOB on' tub Fhontieb.?Tho Now ?ork Commercial] <Adp?rtiser contains the following paragraph iu reference to tho military Borvipb against tho Indians: ', "Any'officer' familiar with Ind'an fightipg will bear testimony to the supe? riority of the frontiersman for such ser? vice over the ordinary eqlisted soldior. Accustomed to"'tho use of the rifle and tho ways of tho red man, hardy, active and brave, he oombjnei all the peculiar qualifications needed in this sort of war? fare. Yet the Government refuses his services, and prefers to set raw Irish? men, or boozy, good-natured Germans at the hopeless task of catching the Indian weasel asleep. In spite of our aptitude and enterprise, there's a good deal of the Bourbon about some of us yet." This attempt of a leading Republican journal to shift the responsibility of the results of the Indian fighting in Oregon to the privates in the ranks, is ungene? rous and unjust. No account of the Modoo fights represents that there has been any want of courage and fidelity on the part of tho troops. Tho officers, ail Americans, have made no such com? plaints. There was nothing defective in the execution of tho military plans, and if tho plans themselves were defective, as no one has alleged, the privates are not to blame for it. The fling at "raw Irishmen" and "boozy, good-natured Germans," is not in good taste. The fighting qualities of the Irish are pro? verbial, and the "boozy, good-natured Germans" have lately made for them? selves a somewhat creditable reooad in the military annals of Europe. The ser? vices of men of these nationalities in the Federal armies in the late civil war ought to have at least entitlod Irishmen and Germans to more respectful designations than "raw" and "boozy." ?-??-?

His immediate reply was, he 'was not old enough to vote at' the last election." [He:ia just twenty-one.] Isaac P.

When concluded, "we" put in, "Ob, I know a verso in the Bible by heart, too." "Yes," replied Tinsleyt~"I suppose it is 'Jesus woptl'" The corn was acknowledged.

"An animal with lour legs," was the reply. "Did you over see an animal with more than four legs?" "No, sir," was the instant response; "but auntie says she saw a oalf with six legs in a show." Mr. Jiiison was greatly amused at the apt reply. The institu? tion is in a flourishing condition. The building is well constructed, with large rooms, broad passages, etc. One wing, however, remains incomplete, and as ap? plications are being constantly made, more room is necessary.
