Shortly after the Confederate government was
removed to Richmond, bill was attempted in the
Provisional Congress to give the President a large
sum, covering the expense of transporting his
horses all the way from Mississippi in box cars
This proposed appropriation of the public money
was defeated by the fearless patriotism of another
DAVIS, now We believe no longer member of Con-
gress. But the idea has not Leen forgotten; and,
in this agony of the nation "joint resolution
suddenly sprouts 10, and is whisked through. the
House with incredible alacrity, giving additional
compensation and emolument to this functioIary
under the name of flights and fuel for the Presi-
dental mansion" and forage in the Presidential
stables for four horses during the war.
The ninth chapter of the second section of the
third article of the Confederate Constitution de-
cares: 1.-The President shall at stated tmesreceive
compensation Ohich shall neither be increased or
diminished during the period for which he has
been elected and he shall not receive during that
period any other emoLament from the Confederate
States or any of them"
The joint resolution of Congress strikes in the
teeth of the Constitution. 1t is enough to declare
that fact as it is to state that two and two make
fOur-it would be as foolish to argue the trdth of
one proposition as of the other. But the Presi
dent cannot live on his salary" Then let him re-
sign, and live as other people do without it He
has the best house in Richmond, furnished, and
twenty-five Thousand year. II he cannot live on
that, who can live in the Southern Confederacy
1t is also said that similar "heIps' were given to
the President of the United States under the old
government So they were and it was the I'M
Speaksole corruption and villainy which came of
this aud other not lawless expenditures of the
nations money, which overthrow the old govern
ment We make this war to get rid Of the pre-
cedents and practices of the old government
Would to God we might also get rid Of all the
detestable politicians, who made by slow degrees,
and many such precedents this all that corrup-
ton and all this war; 1t is said that this is q
S'HaA matter;" that opposition to it is faction,
&c But we say, O6stG principiiS evil while
it is small and can be resisted If this small end

Attack on Burnside's 9 Line-Its FailuPe-N
Da m aRe Done.

Damage Done.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
June %, S A. M.-An attack was made on
Burneide's line about II O'Clock on Saturday
night, with the intention Of driving back q
working party who were engaged In digging
entrenchments toward the enemy SO as TO gain
better position in which to place guns TO
more efectually cover the works In front The
firing was very brisk for about an hour, re-
sulting in our men holding their ground and
continuing their labors without any loss Of
consequence.
The usual amount Of picket firing took place
yesterday, being q little more persistent in
front of the 9th corps than at any other point.
1t is usual to relieve the picket lines shortly
after dark, and the enemy being generally on the
alert at the least noise, invariably open fire, in
the hope Of being able TO pick of some Of our
men while the change Is being made. 1t is sell
dom any harm results from these attacks. as
the men have be come so careful to screen them.
selves, that 1t Is next 10 impos for the rebel
sharpshooters to get range on them.
The health Of the troops is in the main good,
considering the oppressively hot weather they
have had since their arrival here. and the
corps seems to have the greatest number In the
hospital from the effects Of the hot weather
The colored troops are reported as being I'M.
affected by the heat.
Surgeon Jackson, in charge Of the 4th divi-
sion hospital, 9th corps, reports that, in that di-
vision, only forty men out Of four thousand
were unfit for duty when they were put into
the fight on Tuesday last to relieve the ID corps
This tends to show how much better they can
endure the scorching rays Of the sun than the
white troops.
