cious word--a word which Rebels find it hard
not to use. and equally hard to avoid. 1t is an
edge tool, and brilliantly as Mr.. Henry handled
it, he most evidently cut his fingers.
The remainder d Mr.. Henry's resolutions gro
not worthy of any particular notice. They are,
as we have intirnated. peculiarly fierce, defiant,
memorable, and Illuminating. They rest upon
the old and long ago exploded assumption that
the Shareholders have been goaded into insur.
rection by injuries inflicted upon them By tho
people ofthe United States, and by the usurpa.
tons of tho Federal Government This false.
hood has been often repeated, and all the world
has been called upon formally to take notice OF
it.. But thus far, the world has shown itself TO
be absolutely incredulous, and decidedly IN
wiling to be misled By the finest or the fercest
phrases. The scandal world" to which our
fcrefathers appealed, may be as "candid" now
as ever; but il Is still waiting for those facts
upon which alone It's equitable Judgment can be
based. The Rebellion may hay zen excited
by whm or by prejudice, by selfish interests, OF
unrestrained passions, by envy, or hatred, or
uneharitableness, By disappointed ambition, or
On inordinate lust Of political power--that it
arose out Of the violated rights and endangered
liberties Of the Shareholders is what remains to
be shown and what thus far the public men Of
the Confederacy have never even pretended to
show. The world, the "candid world" still!
waits for bill OF particulars.

reference to this attempt to burn the city. For
the first order we have nothing but commenda-
tiOn nor will any loyal person object to its sum-
mary purpose in dealing with these criminals.
The ordinary process of law is far too slow IN
suoh cases. Martial law alone can act with the
necessary promptness.
But Cen. Dixs second order reminds us Of
that which was issued before election, requiring
resident and arriving secessionists in this city
70 do then that which they are now again re-
CURED to do. Unhappiy. that first order was
never, 80 Gar az We know. enforced, nor were
any steps taken toward lis enforcement. 1t re-
NAMED wholly unexecuied. We trust ana
cxpcct that this second will not 80 remain. We
beg to remind Gen. Dix that orders, even MIL
tary orders, do not enforce themselves; aud
that nothing so soon becomes an object OF con-
tempt as q law, ora military order, which Is SUI
icrcd to continue dead letter.
For tho security Of this city, for the mamie
nance Of the authority Of the National Govern
meni, il is essential that This order be made per-
mauenily effective and coercye. Rebels thron'
this city; many OF them active, malignant
desperate, and dangerous. They have no tights
which loyal men are bound TO respect. They
arc here as enemies Of the Government, ana

order is competent TO reach these people, to ar
rest them, or to drive them from the city in fear
of arrest. Does any one suppose that II Gen.
Butler had remained here to execute Gen. Dix's
order, these Rebels would have remainder Or
does any one now fail to see that Buffers pres
cnce frustrated for the time the scheme which
or bis departure these Rebels attempt TO carry
through!
Hcncelorth the loyal people Of New.York
demand from the officers OF the Government
the same vigilance, decision, and courage, as are
shown by our police authorities. The power OF
the latter is limited; that of martial law is un.
restrained. In our judgment, the activity OF
each ought 10 be commensurate with its power

THE PLOT AGAINST TBsE CITY.

We waste 10 words this morning in arguing
that the plot to burn New-York which failed on
Friday night was n Rebel plot. The
evidence in possession Of the police
ald military authorities, the facts recited
in our columns this morning, and the
conviction Of every intelligent person, establish
the fact of the plot and the fact of ifs birth in
Richmond. Six weeks ago the Richmond press
threatened and foretold just such an attempt,
defended it as justifiablc warfare, and chuckled
in advance over its anticipated success. Their
sole chagrn VIII be to hear that it has
been tried and has failed; ard they viii discover
with rage, bnt without one emotion Of shame,
that it is not so easy as they thought to burn a
city that holds million of people, and that is
protected by the safeguard Of civilization IN.
known to their barbarous society.
We owe our safety TO the promptness Of the
Police and Of the Fire Department, and not less
to the incredible stupidity Of tho agents who
we're hired to carry out scheme which in it.
self was ingeniously conceived and carefully
premeditated. But let that pass for the event,
like every event, contains a lesson for the u.

TIE SALARIES OF GOVERNMENT

10 ne Edii0r Of TIE " T. Iribnnt.
SIR: The propriety Of increasing the salary
pnd to clerks in tie departments ut Washington has
been generally discussed by those most interested
FOX the last Two years bat until the present time there
never has been unanimity Of feeling. even among the
cerks in favor Of snch increase. Many. and myself
among tho number have argued that although the cost
OF living had greatly increased still 1t was the duty Of
clerks well rs everybody to make some sacrifice for
the common good; and many have consCicnlously hest
taied because they thought that with economy clerk
might b. able TO make both ends meet Even since
the last meeting of Congress necessary expenses have
greatly increased until II il absolutely impossible
iog with any family to live deocnty upon 81 200
or 400 per year taxes deducted. Tho necessity for
temporary incrcaao Of clerks pay has been geDcr
ay acSnow ,cd that each Of tho auditors pnd
trollcrs have recommended the said increase. and
have been unable to ind any opposition 10 the measure
from ary quarter. Tho clerks Of the Treasury Depart
ment held q meeting on Tuesday last and committee

that there is a more excellent way of arriving
at the end il contemplate. What we all need
il the restoration Of it, full nominal value to our
currency. The clerks are paid dollars enough,
provided thcy were real dollars; but they are
not; hence their insuiliciency. Now We pro-
pose, instead of increasing tho number of dol
lars paid them, to increase their value; which
is the same to them and Il good deal better for
the country. Let measures BIO promptly taken
to reduce the premium on gold from 100 to 20,

this time, Notwithstanding the late raids Of
the enemy ia Kentucky, and the invasion
OF Missouri by Price, no such general &C.
ton on the part of the order as was con-
templated has taken place-a result, in
great part, owing to the activity Of our mill
itary authorities strengthening the detach-
mentA at the prisons, arsenals, ETC., and in
causing the arrest of the leading ccnspira-
tors in the several States, and especially in
the seizure of large quantities of arms
which had been shipped for the use OF the
order in their intended outbreak. It was.
doubtless, on account of these precautions
that the day last appointed for the rising
august l6) passed by with but slight dis
order.
1t is, however, the inability Of the public
enemy, in the now declining DAYS Of the
rebellion, to initiate the desired move
ments which has prevented the order from
engaging IN open warfare; and it has late
~ been seriously considered in their coun-
CHS whether they should not proceed with
their revolt, relying alone upon the guer.
rilla bands Of Syphert, Jesse. and offers
for support and assistance. AZ
