PHILOSOPHER GREELEY on SALARIEs.-Our CO.
temporary, the Chevalier Greeley, is prodigious
philosopher for minute things. He has lately re-
corded his bitter hostility against the recent
small advance in the pay Of members of Con-
gress, and pitches into poor Giddings and his as
sociates with little mercy towards the animal
creation. This philosopher ought to have made
his appearance in the world during the tenth CEN
tury when great men lived in mud houses and
kings cooked their own mutton chops in the best
way they could. We arc entirely opposed to the
civilization and salaries patronized by this phi
losopher. 1t is true that at the last session Of
Congress, the members advanced their own wages
thirty or forty per centum; but If they will take
o leaf from our advice, we should counsel them
before they adjourn, to pass bill embracing the
following schcdulc:-
PROPOSED RATES or FAY FOR THE PRESIDENT AND
CHIEF OFFICERS OF Tng UNITED STATES.
For the President, per annum .......u.....,.r00,00 600
For The Vice Pe,dent, pr annum. .......... J00oa
For secretaries or eads Of Dep rmens per attn $4,000
Dor members Of The Senate cash. PER anhun... 1900
:. House, +" 80. 1900
This table will doubtless horrify the philoso-
rher, and make him roll up his eyes at the as
ionishing idea Of such draft on the treasury for
the pay OF the Executive and Legislative officers.
But would il not be better TO pay TO all these
statesmen Tor rather gentlemen. for very few OF
them are statcsmen.) the sums which we
have designated. than to have them stealing by
means Of contracts railroad land bills and all sorts
of corrupt jobs that human ingenuity can devise,
and which have depleted the treasury during
the past ten years! What is the reason that this
system has been 50 unblushngiy carried on by
the present and past Congresses, until between
two and three hundred millions OF the public
property. in money and land. has been FILTERED
awayg II is because tho men at the head OF the
government are secret participants In the spols
gained Ivy these schemes, and that the poor devils
arc compelled to this course by the bcggarly pit
tances which they receive. Their miserable "a
larics compel them TO exhaust their ingenuity in
dcvisng schemes to rob the treasury, in all sorts
OF ways, from stealing half million acres Of
public land down TO taking q share in q thousand
dollar contract or selling vote for box o.
segars or dozen pairs Of kid gloves and bottle
OF cologne for their wives.

SINGULAR NEWSPAPER MovEAENrs.-Some sin
gular movements have recently taken place in the
newspaper world having a bearing upen the
Presidential election Beverly Tucker, who was
the sole editor, body and brooches Of the
Sentinel heretofore published at Washington, has
discontinued the publication of that Journal and
announced the important fact in most lachry-
NOSE card, which, singularly enough, appears in
the National Iatelligeadr. 1t will be recoilected
that the Sentinel, under the guidance Of Tucker,
was the only advocate in Washington of
Mr.. Buchanan's nomination previous to the
meeting of the Cincinnati Convention.
The caving in of this journal, just at this time,
is sign Of some extensive movement and some
important scheme initiated by the Buchanan de-
mocracy. There have been rumors Of extensive
feuds in the National Committee, of which Mr.
Faulkner is the head and Forney the tail. 1t is
said that these feuds have grown out Of diferen-
ces Of opinion on the niger question. This is
likely, but it is just as likely that they have orr
girated by troubles about the money question.
and that there have been too many hungry
fellows pulling at the funds to satisfy the more
honest portion Of the committee. At any rate
the suspension Of the leading Buchanan organ at
Washington--taken in connection with the stop
page Of various other Buchanan papers in the
North, and particularly in Pennsylvania forms
bad omen for the bigger democracy
Well, how do things look on the other side?
Fremont journals are springing up everywhere,
and lourishing to an extent that we never before
witnessed in the history OF the political newspa-
per world In Pennsylvania, Illinois, New York,
and all over the North, the journals supporting
Fremont are more numerous than those in the
interest Of Buchanan and Fillmore put together,
and new papers advocating Fremont's cause are
springing up every day. A new one has been
established in this city, and is creating a great
sensation 1t is edited by Mr.. Joseph A. Scoyille,
and called the Eceniag Register. It pitches into
the friends of Mr.. Fillmore in such style that
not rag will be left of them long before Novem-
Der. While the Fremont journals are thus
prospering we learn that Mr.. Robert j. Walker.
who has been scudding about this city for some
time, has not been able to raise money enough to
pay for the printing Of the first number Of the new
Buchanan paper. He has about one hundred
thousand dollars subscribed, on paper-precisely
the same sort Of subscription az the ten millions
for the Pacific Railway, which Walker intended
TO build One is equally as valuable as the other,
IT, therefore, this revolution in journalism is OF
any effect, there can be no doubt that Fremont
viii sweep the whole Northern States like
whirlwind. In this city and State the circulation
of the Fremont press is enthusiastically
twenty to one against that Of the Buchanan and
Fillmore journals united
