Among them we note an increase of salary to the Treasurer of the United States and to the Commissioner of Public Buildings; an approprid- tion of about $16,000 a year for private zecretary, | short-hand reporter (of speeches?) and clerks, for the | President; anew Assistant Solicitor to the Treasury at $3,000 per annum; new clerks for the Attorney. In addition to all which, the Senate coufirmed its gift of $160,000 to Mr. McCul- loch to be distributed at discretion among hiz em-. ployés. The people are expected to foot the bills | without wincing, but we think it as well they should know what they are asked to pay for. ‘We mast record our protest against the arrest of avy lady who desires to walk our strects inan un- fashionable dress, Her case is oue for the social and public opinion of h: miiliner and the dressmaker—but not for tho police officer.

'We judge that the | dress worn by Dr. Mary Walker was not o immodest | as some worn at fazhionable parties, nor so uncomfort- ' able as those which are so often caught and draggled, | and occasioually take fire and burn their wearers.

The third section above was subetituted by the Senate for that wherehy the House originally proposed a sweeping disfranchizement of all who, having once sworn fealty to the United States,gavetherealter volun- tary aid to the Rebellion. This is now wholly given up; and the exclasion from office prescribed instead may at any moment be annulled by a two-thirds vote of Congress. That vote is morally certain to be not long withheld, provided the conutry South shall return to loyalty aud tranquillity. Every change as yet made in the original proposition Las been toward greater magnanimity.

THE RASIN OF BEPRESENTATION IN CONGRENS, The National Intelligencer repels our sugges hostility on its part to making the population of each State which is clothed by its Constitution with politi- cal power the basis of its representation in Congress. Tt says: «We will not oppose a constitutional amendment hased npon tiden of equality which would limit_represeotation of Srates in (.’uns.:u. to the voting basls, it THE TAmusi and other influential Republiean organs will support the same prio- ciple of equality in respoct to che Senatorial representation. To particuisrize: From liberality, we would give the smallest State a Senator. But why vot ha constitutional amond- meut in connection with that impliedly advocated by Tue Tiprsy, which would give an additional Senator for every fiity or bundred thousand_voters ¢ This would send to the wall that power of New-England which, by its disproportios- ate strength in the Senate, has been a prime cause of that fauatical egitation which was seized upon by the violont wen in the South as an argnment dieunfon. [nrespect to Mary- Land, our objection to the proscriprionists of that State is, that by their doctiives nearly half the White male ad:lis of tho State wonld not be represented ta Congress, since that they are not voters under the existing disgraceful Taw Pesponse by The Tridune. Wo do uot think the tieal proposition of The Intelligencer respecting ors in just accord with the principle whereon it purports to be founded. What we think would be a fair realization of The Intelligencer's idea would bo as follows: Each State with less than 500,000 enfranchised pop- ulath . 1 Senator. Over 500,000 2 Senators For each additional 1,000,000...... 1 more. Tiiis, we judge, would obviate all just complaint of thainequality of representation in the Senate; and this wo stand ready to support, if demanded by those who demur to the apportionment of Representatives on the basis of enfranchised population. We are quite as ready to accord right as to demand it. The Intelligencer thinks the present laws of Mary- graceful,” in that they exclude from voting those whose hoarts (and often their arms also) were on the side of the Rebels in our late struggle. Now, guch prozcription is on the ofher road from that we wish to travel. We want to eufranchise the loyal; and, that done, we see no need of disfranchising the other sort. We hope to live to see all the people of Maryland, Colored and Rebel enft we cannot Con: plained of unjust, land Disunionists w State as well as to the U inclusive, or the nor disfran- even traitors Those at hea who stayed at home wi t to th on. with Bradley Johuson, Harry Gilmor, and Admiral Buchanan.

Louisians west of the Mississippi and south of the Red River has been mainly ander water—perhaps still is; while, eastward of the Mississippi, the rich valley of the Yazoo, with its tributaries, embracing 3,500,000 acres of the most productive cotton land in the world, is in good part so flooded as to be scarcely habitable, This is partly owing to the floods; partly to the natural wasting and caving in of the bauks during the last three or four years of war, which rendered proper attention to them impossible; and partly to their heing cut {rom time to time in the prosecution of hostilities. 1t is probable that not less than ten mil- Jions of acres of the richest portions of the South- Weat, eapable of producing a bale (4001b.) of cotton to the acre, have thus been so flooded that they, for this year, can at best barely subsist their scattered, wasted inhabitants, instead of adding, as they might, some £50,000,000 to the exportable produce of the country. Tho inbabitants of the Yazoo V appealed to Congress for vepresented in either House; the capital or the means of obtaining it; but they want to go to work and enrich their country; and they will, il they can be protected against the devastating floods which they are wholly unable to shut Congress having decided to put a daty of five cents alley have, therefore, i are not e utterly without per pound on raw Cotton, must, if only for the | Treasury’s suke, endeavor to stimnlate and expand the Cotton Culture, Had $35,600,000 been seasonably expended on the levees of the Misslssipp!, Yazoo, and | Red Rivers, not less than double the amonnt would have been added to the revenne from this ' pro- duct of Cotton alone; and the good thus ¢ d would have endured and borne fruit for years—=much of it forever, Assuming that the cotton tax will Lave to be borue for five years, 5,000,000 ex- pended on levees this year, and £1,000,000 per annum i next fonr—9,000,000 in all=wonld return to reasury not less than $50,000,000, beside adding National wealth, We beg Congress not to adjourn withont consid ¢ and acting on this subject.

Tribune.’ Sie: I seo in to-day’s TRIBONE an arlicle, “ Another | Excise Sunday,” wherein you speak of the euccess of oue Dbrewer in disturbiug the temperance of one section of the city. 4 Ifind in all that you speak or write about temperance or this Excise law, that you are no friead of the poor work- ingmanand his family. Sixdays in the week are for work; the seventh day is a day of rest. Now, Sir, if you would s of herd work, to have a walk with your family in the free, open air, then be undisturbed in taking some refreshments, aud enjoy your lifs? Ttell you, Six, this would b a for Tewter and ‘truer religion than yours, and the religion of the American people in general, Our Gol and Father did not wish that his creatures should be h; rites, aud go to hureh all Sunday, No, Sir; he wants'them to enjoy their lifoon a Sunday. Go to other parts of the world, where people are more enlightened in religions matters—go to ranee, Germany, oven to Russia—and you will see how the Sunday is celebrated there. All theaters are open; there is daneing, singing, and enjoying life, everywhere on a Sunday. But, in this country, where the parsons have got Lold of the people, there \vfi' be no enhightenment as long as this hypocrisy is ot overthrown by enlightened men, And o (iod wills that this time must come, and will cowe, sooucr or later, Yours, T. DoReMUS. [Our correspondent admits all that should be in dispute when he says that *“In this conntry, the par- | sons have got hold of the people:” in other words, “‘the people” here prefer an American Sunday to that of | continental Europe, with its * theaters, dancing, ging, and enjoying life.” If the people should ever chunge their mind on this point, M, D, will doubt- loss have a Sunday after his own heart; until that time, we think he should, as a good citizen, respect and obey the laws of the land. Calling his own notions *enlightenment” and other peoples’ **bLy- pocrisy™ is not conclusive; nor does it follow that a suan is a bypocrite beeanse he goes to church all Sunday; and we protest against the assumption that o mechaic or day-laborer cannot enjoy *‘a walk with is fumily” and suitable ** refeoshment” without Laving our tippling-houses open and busy on a day whereon the laws of our State have always required them to be kept closed. If the peopls ehall ever see fit to clange our im- memorial laws into conformity with Mr. D.'s views, we shall endeavor to yield them a prompt and hearty sdience: until then, we ask him to do the same by Trib, o the laws as th QUAKERIST AND SLAVERY.

There was Slavery in its most odions form in Barbadoes when he paid that island areligions visit: yet, so far from protesting against it as & sin in itself, be wrote to the Governor aud Conn- cil that his ehief aim had been, in his intercourse with the negroes, ** to exbort and admonish them to be so- ber, to fear God, to love their masters and mistresses, and to be fuithful and diligent in th e and business, and then their masters and overseers wonld Jove thew.” This is in the very style and almost in and of other Divine seat the very language of Dr. Fulle Doctors who were wont to ¢ e National iniquity. George Fox preached many times to the negroes of Barbadoes, exhorting them *to justice, sobriety, temperance, chastity, and piety, end to be subject to their masters and governors.” That he bore auy testimony against Slavery in Virginia, we have been unable to discover. Afier his returnto London he sent long epistle to Friends in America, and in this he exhorted his brethren * to keep up negroes' mecti * but be said nothing of the duty of break- every yoke and of letting the oppressed go free. hio ¢ the wan well,need no assurance that aveliolding to be a sin, he would have , although hell itself had gaped ilence, The presumption is that it The doctrine of a Chris- ity bigher thau his own,was reserved for Those who knc if be had felt sl devounced it as a 8 and bade him kee| tian | later ge We of detractiy introduced this topic, not for the purpose \g from the just reputation of a great re- t and leader, whose spiritual discoveries, if w0 call them, will continne to modify and 15 belief long after the sect which he ed has passed away, but because the fact ¢h we have presented are full of encouragement. 1 prove ow surely and steadily society is ad « townrd a practical recognition of the rights of ssion of the dalism de- dethroned ge, the al and y of individual man. ihroned 8!

Odell died at Lis residence, No. 8& Orange-st., Brookiyn, yesterday, about noon. He had hean prostrated by illness for some months, the diseass being cancer in the throat, which gradually ate his life away. Hedied as he lived, & Christian, The deceased was born in Westchestor County, N, Y., and reccived a common school education. His father removed to New. York, where, after attaining bis majority, he began hig political earecr in the Democratic party, and from that time until the present, he was closely identified with political movements, The deceased was partial to Sunday- schools and delighted in takiug part in their exercises, For over 20 ysars he was connectod with Sands-st, Churcl (Methodist ~ Episcopal) and was for some time Superintendent of the Sunday-school attached to it He was, in fact, one of the main pillanm of the Church. He was also coanected with the temper- ance movement snd did mueh in aid of the cause. Mr Odell's first appearance in political life was as President of | the ouce fumous Empire Club, during the campaign pre- cading the election of Polk and Dallas, His zeal and ac- tivity during that campaign secured him a subordinate po- sition iu the Custom-House, and for industry in the publie serviea, he was advanced to the position of Deputy Col- lector, 8o indispensable were Lis services that he was retained under successive administritions, Though prome inent in the local polities of the county, he sought no pub- lic office until 1869, when he received the nomination for Congress in the 114 District, and was elected by a large majority. When the war broke out Mr. Odell warmly supported the policy of the Goverament. When others of his own party scouted (he idea that the war could be prose- ented to a successful termination, ke stood firm. He never wavered. He never had a doubt as to the result. When others faltered, he looked forward with & hopeful mind, and the eud has proved that Lis judgment was correct. In 1862, he wos renominated for Congress in the III4 District, and triumphantly elected. In the suceceding Congress Mr. Odell avowed the couviction that Slavery ought not to survive the war, and with a small minority of the Democratic members voted for the abolition of | Slavery in the District of Columbia, and afterward for the Constitutional amendment abolishing Slavery in the United States. As 8 wember of the Congressional Com- mittee on the Conduct of the War, Mr. Odell was promin- ently befors the public. He signed the majority report which was accepted as a censurs on Gen. MeClellan. While in Washiugton, a warm personal sttachment ex- isted between Mr. Odell and President Lincolu, No vis- itor at the White House was more welcome than Mr Odell. He sought no political preferment at Mr. Lincoln's bunds, When Mr. Johnson succeeded to the offico of President, Mr. Odell was appointed Naval Officer of the port of New-York, which position he held up to the time | of his death, At the late annual Sunday School parade, the dying man had himself carried to the window, so that’ he might look for the last time upon the little friends in whose welfare ho always found time to interest himeelf.
