ssLet Us. Have Peace"

We clip the following from the Southern
Home Journal: :;
Gen. Grant has said, and the rallying cry
of the Republican party has been-"Let us
have peace" We believe that we truly re-
feet the sentiment Of the great mass Of the
Southern people, when we say, that no one
thing would be more acceptable to them at
this time than peace. A genuine peace, in
the full meaning and acceptation Of the word,
such as men might honor and accept Ii
Gen. Grant and the party that he represents
have the inclination, as they have tie power,
to give the country such peace, then will
they have cried "let us have peace" to some
purpose.
The South appreciates her condition, and
has been yearning for peace for years. Her
people are fullysaware that the state of semi
war, which now exists, is not the condition
which will enable them to regain the prosperity
of former years. They would hail with de-
! light the return of the white winged mcssen-
ger Of honorable peace.

Salary Of the President.

The salary of the President is s25, 900 a
year. It was fixed at this sum in tie early
days of the Government. At that time it
represented five times as much, if not ten
times as much, as it represents now. It is al
together too small to support the President in
proper style, and to enable him to meet his
necessary expenditures as Chief Executive OF
the nation. It ought to be, at the very low
est, 100000 We have no doubt that the
next Congress will take some action in this
matter. President Grant should not be COM
