SILLY AND MEAN.-COngress voted a
bounty of 500 to negroes for two years
service; $50 to white soldiers, and 81
600 extra pay to themselves for two
years service. They thus estimate the
services Of negro just twice as valuable
as those of white men, and their own
just forty times as valuable as those of
negroes.-Al5qny 4rgug.
Some Of our radical friends don't seem
to relish this little item of ours but we
publish 1t again in hopes it may yet do
them good. Congress has appropriated
pay for two years service as follows:
For each negro soldier 500; for each
white soldier, $50; for each member of
Congress, $4,000.-Ne,e York Woyld
Let US (says the Tribune) briefly ex-
pose the inedabe Stiffness of this impu-
dent lie. Congress enacted that every
Union soldier in our war who has been
honorably discharged after three years
faithful service should receive an extra
bounty of 800, while those likewise dis
charged after two years service should
receive but $50. Now the enlisting of
blacks to put down the rebellion was
not fairly begun till 1863, and assumed
much larger proportions in 1864. OF
course, most Of the blacks served less
than two years, and so were entitled to
no extra bounty; while scarcely hand
full of them served three years, so as to
entitle them to $780, On the other
hand, there are many tens of thousands
of whites who served through three
years or over, and another large number
who served over two years. Why utter
fasehoods which every one who reads or
reflects must know to be such.

BUTLER's NIRws OF TIE PRESIDE

BUFFERS VIRws OF THE PRESIDENT.
In his Cleveland speech Gen. Butler put
the Presidents offenses against the Con-
stitution in strong light. He main
tanned that he had corruptly misused the
power of removal and appointment to
office. Since the adjournment of Con-
gress he has appointed to office more
than thirty persons after they had been
rejected by the Senate upon his previous
nomination, thus proving that he in
tends to act in defiance of coordinate
branch of the government. The Gen.
eral further declared:
"There is another violation of the con-
stitution of which the President has been
guilty. 1t places in Congress the power
of declaring war, in the Senate the
power of controlling the executive in
concluding peace, from the necessity
of their ratification Of treaties. Nav,

PoLIr1CAL. - The New York Times
comes out in the strongest manner
against the Hoffman movement in that
State. 1t is mere attempt, it says, to
reinstate the Democratic party in power,
and every consideration Of the public
welfare demands that it should be de-
feated. 1t adds:
"The election of Gov. Fenton and the
Union ticket by decided majority at the
coming election, following, as we have
no doubt it will, similar results in other
States, will break up effectually and
finally the Democratic party as it has
been organized and directed for the last
five years. 1t will compel its dissolu-
ton and reconstruction"
The New York Tribune, in review of
the political prospect, estimates that
Gov. Fenton will be reelected by about
10000 majority.
The Republican candidates in Della
ware for the election that occurs Novem-
Der 9th, are: Governor, James Riddle;
Member of Congress, John L. McKim
Democratic candidates, Governor, Cove
Salisbury Member Of Congress, John
A. Nicholson. Mr.. Nicholson is the
present member of Congress, and was
elected by 500 majority, But the Repub-
licans have been victorious in three cleo
tions since 1860, and they mean to
carry the State again this Fall.
Isaac N. Arnold, formerly represent
alive in Congress from Illinois, and
who has just resigned the office of audit
or of the treasury for the post Office
department, has written a sharp letter
to the President, in which he says:
believing you are to-day exerting your
vast power in the interests of the trail
tors, and that your policy should be
overthrow at the ballot box, that the
republic, based on liberty and justice,
may live, 1 retire from office that | may
more freely and effectively aid in that
overthrow"

CUBAN SLAvERY.-It seems that the
internal connections which have agita-
ted Spain during the past year have dis
tracted the attention Of the Liberal
leaders from the work of laboring for
the abolition of slavery in Cuba. There
is no doubt that the success of Gen. Prim
and the Liberal party would have re.
suited in the emancipation of the slaves
held in the Spanish colonies as well as
the establishment of freer institutions in
Spain itself. But the Prim movement
never got any respectable fOothold either
in the army or among the people, and
success for it hereafter seems altogether
hopeless, except in some unforeseen con-
tingency. Moreover, many of the lead
ers in reform and emancipation have
never sympathized with the revolution
airy struggles of Gen. Prim, and were no
way compromised in his attempt. We
can see no reason, therefore, why
the Spanish abolitionists should cease
their energetic and intelligent efforts to
do away with the slave system of which
Spain is now the sole upholder in North
America. 1t is now settled that African
slavery, as an institution, is doomed to
destruction the world over, and To cling
to it at this day is only to invite ruin.
France, Mexico, Great Britain, Denmark
and the United States have each, in its
own jurisdiction, abolished the slavery
which they once maintained in North
America, and 1t is not in the power of
old Spain to prevent the Browning of
the editice" of universal emancipation.

CmLI.-The sentiment of the people
and press of Chilli is clearly for the con-
tluuance of the war with Spain, but the
press complains that the Government is
waiting on its part certain that time
and patience will overcome this feeling
of the people, In this, without doubt,
the Government is wise. Another war
steamer, the Isabella, purchased in the
United States for the Gillian navy, had
arrived at Valparaiso. When she be-
longed to the United States navy she
carried two nine.inch guns, two thirty
pound Parrots, four eighteen Founders,
and one twenty. pound gun. The Gov
eminent continues slowly to fortiiy the
port of Valparaiso, and to mount guns
for defense against another attack Of the
Spanish fleet, but the works will not be
of sufficient magnitude and strength to
resist a well-Organized and well-handled
modern fleet The Valparaiso papers
boast that the fort will soon be defended
by $50 cannon. President Perez has
been declared re elected President Of Chill
by the CHILEAN Chambers. Admiral
Blanco has resigned his position as Chief
of the Gillian fleet, and Commodore
Tucker late Of the rebel navy, has been
formally installed as commander of the
allied CHILEAN and Peruvian fleet.

ANOTHER WAR.-The Richmond Wing
wants it understood that the South
makes no threats of another war, and no
confidence in the northern politicians
who make such threats in their behalf.
1t is very sharp on It's old democratic
friends, thus:
1--WE did not understand our Northern
friends in 1860. We thought they meant
what they said. We have now learned
that they say many things they do not
mean. All Northern parties made up
their family quarrel after we had got
fairly into the war, and they prosecuted
it together. They would, in all proba-
bility, do the same thing again. We call
upon the country to note the fact that
the suggestion of civil war $50 much
talked about did not and does not come
from the South. The voice Of the South,
unlike that of Sempronius, is for peacs.
We must take care not to be put for
ward as favoring war, and we must also
discOuntenance the idea that any pro-
iected war is for our benefit"

SENATOR SUMNER ON NATIONAL AFFAIRS.
Charles Sumner delivered the opening
lecture of the Parker fraternity course
in Music Hall, Boston, Tuesday evening,
to large and intelligent audience. His
subject was, "The presidential policy:
the one man power and Congress-" The
address was long, evidently prepared
with much care, and gave an elaborate
review of the national situation, severely
criticising the course Of President John
son and his counsellors. Mr.. Sumner
said:
"The President, welding the one-man
power, has assumed a prerogative over
Congress utterly unjustifable, and has
undertaken to dictate fatal policy of
reconstruction, which gives sway to
rebels, put Off the blessed day of security
and reconstruction, and leaves the vast
interests of the republic in jeopardy.
Treacherous to party, treaCherous to the
great cause, and treaCherous to himself,
he has set up his individual will against
the people Of the United States in Con-
gress assembled. Forgetful Of truth and
decency, he has assaulted members as as
sassins, and has denounced Congress it.

assuming to be Congress- and hanging
on the verge Of the government as if

votes will be the first step. The Presi-
dent must be taught that usurpation and
apostacy cannot prevail. He who prom
Used to be Noses and has become Pharaoh
must be overthrown, and the Egyptians
that follow him must share the same
fate, so that it shall be said now as
aforetime, "And the Lord overthrow
