Vico-Prosident Wilson, Ministor Wash- burno, Senator Morton, and Rop~ resontativo Hoar Rough- Iy Handled, Cowardice tho Motive of Those Who Have Returned Their Back-Pay. If the Country Wants Honest Servants Like Butler, It Must Pay Them Adequately. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, New Yong, Aug. 7.—Gon. Butlor has writton an olaborate dofonso of the back-pay measure, which ho hos forwarded to tho Tribune to bo published thoro oxclusively. It is & romarkably aggressive documont, filling nearly a pago of tho Tribune it published in full, but only three col- umns are given. Ho eays, smong othor loss striking argumenta and iliustrations, that tho in- creago ought not to have boen attacked. *¢Ithas nover beon discussed by its opponents—only abused, and Congress donounced. Bo far as it rolatos to Congrossmen, the bill has been on- tiroly misroprosonted, if not misunderstood. It doos not so much ncreaso tho enlarios of mem- bora as 1t equalizes thom. Ever sinco tho Conkti- tution wns adopted, the componsation of mem- bera of Congress has been in part in the form of milonge. In the time of Washington it was flxod st 80 conts or milo, aud subsequently roduced, but always causing vory groat incquality in componsation. As the population of the country extonded itsolf, mileago added largely to tho emoluments of dis- tant Honators and Represontatives, while tho facilities of traneportation by steamboats and railronde, espocially as mombers were compli- mentod with freo passes, did not change tho inequnlity, 8o that thore wore members last Con- greas who wora recoiving nearly or quito £7,600 88 compensation, whilo othors wora receiving only » fow dollars over 5000, - The presout bill nholishos sil milesgo, and thus reduces tho pny of somo members quito 50 per cont, whilo it raises that of others a liic amount. Again : horotofore divors allowaucos wero mado mombora of Congress in the shapo of nowspa- pors, atationery, franking privileges, and other mattors which in tho past have boen over- drawn, and wore abusod by tho selfish and grasp- infl, oll of which wore cut off by this bill, ond nothing allowed oxcopt actual cortificd oxponges paid by the mombers in gotting to and from the Capltal. Thoro haa beou uo such addition to pay a8 haa_beon pre- tonded in public journals, it being usually statod therein that every Congressman voted himeolf £5,000 additional pay, whereas, tho deduction of mflangn and theso aitowances boing mado, there has not been roally on an average more than 81,000 5 yoar sadded, it 8o much, but low much cannot oxactly bo known. A lotter appeary in_tho nowspapers, purporting to come from MY, Washburne, our Minister to France, upon tlie quostion of a eufliciency of salary to membors of Congross, in” one portion of which I agroo with him so far 55 T undorstand the Innguage he uees. It eays: ‘The people don’t sond thoir representatives to Washington to live like Princes, * buck the tiger,” and keop helf-n-dozon mintressos, therofore I voted a salary sufficiont to uu]:rurt tho mombor’s family ot Washiogton to guard him_from tomptation to multiplicity of mistresses, If Mr. Washburno's negative Innuondo is suprorted by faot, the member should havo his family with him, ‘What “.c“X tho Ministor to France may monn by the undeilned phrase, ‘Buk the tigor I am quito uncertain. I certainly mever have seen anything in Washington that wont by that namo during ml' soven _ years' gorvico in Congross. If tho Ministor is fomilior with it, it may account for tho ability which ho claims to havo to live on o small eslary. 8till, I have not observed any abjection on his part to the nppropriation of '§50,000 additional passed in 1871 for tho fimrponu of dofrayiug expenscs in part of tho Ministor to Franco in 1870, al- though that appropriation was retrosotivo. With- out thie increaso or * bucking thetiger,’ it would soom o little ensior to live not like a Prince,’ and support a family in Paris at 817,600 gold than to do the same in Washington in $7,500 cur- roncy. In view of these facta you eay, ¢Why, then, do so many mombors of Congress return their pay to the Treasury 2’ Now, I have hoard, moro or loss apocryphially, that some 30 odd aub of 240 mombors of the hnusn, and 13 or 14 of tho 74 members of the Sonate, have o dono. The country may woll thank God that no more of its public mon can bo frightencd out of their ropriety by vituporation and sengoless clamor. iz‘or, Iropoat ageln, in my judgment, no man helioves timt one of those who have re- turned their pay did it for any other motive than because ho feared it would not bo opular, and it mlgiht endanger his future to nko it. I wish I could bolieve those who have roturned their pay wero sctuated by nono but motives of conscionce, for they would Laye my highest respoct, howevor much I might criticise thoir ncts. By so doing they hava criticlsed my motives and my judgment in action, and thoy must pardon me if I remark upon thoirs, e “TLot us oxamino tho grounds, not too un- kindly, upon which some gontlemen must stand who have sent back their pay. I sco it stated in tho papors that Senator Morton, of Indians, hna roturnod pey, and yet in the Senato, whon tho proposition was to incronso tho eslary from 5,000 to §0,600, I_find ke used this” laupuago, as roported in the Congressional Globe. ‘1¢ I am to have the namo of having my salary inoreased, I want it sub- stantially ‘incroasod,” X want {t incroased in such & way a8 to amount to somothing. Tho iu- crenso horo t-lvnn is 0,600, for ealary in liou of mileage, siotionery, and newspapors, would bo an incroase "to me of about 800, I profer to ot it stand as it ia rather than havo such a chango as that makes. Everybody who knows suytling about tho cost of living in this city knows that thero are bubt very fow nmiembors of Congress that _can savo €500 =& yoar from their salary. I do not boliove there are twonty membors of thiy l.md{ who can save 850 a month frowm tholr salary during a sousion of Congross, while many of thom spoud tho whole of it, "and somo two or thres {imes the amount, Bonator Morton's only objection to tho bill wns thon expressed in thoso words: ‘I hopo wo shall_incroaso tho snlary of tho Preeident anyhow, If that is not done in two days, it cannat be done for fonr yoars undor tho Constitution, but wo can ‘sct in ro- gard to tho rost of them at tho mnoxt Congross. Not n word against tho malary npplylnr fo tho Congross voting it Ilow could Mr. Morton return his pay 1n viow of such deolaratlons, oxcopt from fonr of tho lash of nowspapers, which he mistook for publio indig- nation? [ fim‘m tho nowspapors toll mo that Vico- Prosident Wilson has roturnod hisincreasod pay, aud written a lotter enying he cannot tako it, bocause hls oleotion was a contrack to serve for £5,000 & yoar, & sum fixed by law at the timo, do ot undorstand it to bo 80, and I do not meo how he oan whon ho was olocted to tlie Bonato, At tho frst the pay was €8 'a an{, yot 'in 1850 ho votod and spoke in favor of its bolng raised, both pmaYuotlvnly and retronotively, to 23,000 u yoar, DId mnot Lis firet oloction mnke u contract to morvo for a llitle more than half that sum as valld as the con- tract made by lsst eloction? In 1806 ho again votod to raiso his salary from ©3,000 fo 5,000, although ho had boonre-oleoted, making, 03 lio now supposes, another contrnot to gorve for o loss sum _nagain, Ho was_oleotod Vieo- Presidont, s votes countod for him ns Vico-rosidont. Ho ncoopted tho offico, and re- signod bis gont in the Honato to take 14, while tho salary of tho offico stood by Inw nt £8,000 a- yoar, Ly the now bill, tho Vico-Prosi- dont’s enlary was ralsed to 10,000, 1Ir thero ean bo any such thing e o contract for snlary fixod by o man's eloction, how, with Mr. Wilson's viow of thint contract, can he take the advanced salary of tho offico of Vico-Presi- dont? Yot, nlmost at tho very tima whon he roturned his incronsed galary ny Sonator on tho ground that ho lhad " made & con- trnot thnt bo should sorvo for €5,000 n yenr, and ha could take no moro, ho gave his ro- coipl “to tho ronsuror for his inoronsod snlary as Vico-Prosidont at the rate of $10,000 n yonr, olthongh, by his own showing, thero wag n contract whon Lo wos olected and necopted to sorve for ©9,000,—n contract which he could not bronk an fienncur, but at tho same moment did brenk a8 Vico Pres- idont, by talking his increased snlary. What must bo tho politioal stross of weather that thus mukes mon go bnok on themeolvos, aud vilify their own conduct in the pastto jusnfy thom- solvou in the presont ? **'Thoro is anothor class of membera of Con- gross, whoso nctions in this rogard seoms in- tended ns o criticism upon my courso. Thoy will pardon mo if I oxamine theirs, Thoso gontle- mon havo taken their back pay, and have do- yoted it to choson purposes, sometimes charita- Dle, and somotimos otherwine, Porhaps tho host illusiration of such disposition of the monoy is tho action of my colloague_from tho Lighth District, the Ion, Georga ¥.

I folf quito sure at _the time that whatever courdo I took in regard to tho _incronse of pay would bo subject to newspapor defllomont. ad I rofusod to prosent tho bill, aud voted agninat it, then it would have beon said that, having suf- ficlont fncomo of his own and menns of oarning more by his profession, the enlary was noth- ing to Lhim, He kuow that™ he could afford to live in Congress without any salory, snd theroforo solacod tho demagogue by voting sgninst sufficiont compen- sation, so that no poor man conld go to Con- gross,’ 1 confoss, howevor,thatT Aid not sup- poso tho dolightful stroam of calumny which I now bear would bo poured upon mo.
