The Presidents Suidry.

Some OF our city contemporaries are
pensation of our Presidents from S25 900
to 100000. 1t is argued with much
force that the present salary is INSULT
cient to maintain the President in a
proper manner that he is compelled
by virtue of his position to incur many
expenses that are more or less, of a pub
lie nature; that he has to entertain
publicly members of Congress, MEM
bers of the diplomatic corps, important
foreign personages, and others.
We think it must be conceded by all
reasonable persons, to whatever party
they may belong, that the Presidents
salary is too small and ought to be in
creased. Perhaps the sum of 100000
may seem too large in the eyes of many,
considering the large national debt we
are owing and the heavy taxes the pee
pie are compelled to pay but $4,000
should at least be paid to ,he President
to supper. him in the style in which he
ought to live. Really the President re-
ceives now more than S25, 900 from the
country. The White House is furnish
ed for him, the wages of his servants
and hundreds other bills, great and
small, are paid out of the public treas
ury. We have no fault to fluid
with this; but it conclusively
proves that the President receives con-
siderable more than, perhaps is general
lysupposed. Fifty-thousand dollars With
the "extras" briefly enumerated ought
to be sufficient until the nation is in n
better financial condition.
Even on a salary of S25, 600 some of
our Presidents have retired with hand
some sums. Frank Pierce is said to
have saved 100000 Mr.. Buchanan also
laid by, perhaps, half that amount while
Mr.. Lincoln had left out of his four
years allowance over $4,000. How
much economy had to be used to bring
this about, we Of course do not know.
However this may be we think the mas
SEES of the people favor Il moderate in
crease of the salary of our Presidents.

IMPORTANT TO PENSIONERS. - An
act was passed on the 9th of July last,
declaring that all pensions should COM
mence from the date of the death or dis
charge of the soldier Many pensions
were commenced at the time of finish
ing the last papers of the application,
and so the pensioner lost from one to
two years of pay. All these pensions
are now made payable from the time of
the soldiers discharge or death, and
the arrears of such pensions can be Sc
cured by proper application. Every
pensioner should look at his or her GER
titicate and see when the pension began,
and if is dated at any time after the
death or discharge OF the soldier, go at
once to some attorney and have the ar
rears collected.

LONDON, Nov. IA.
The South American mails brings the
following intelligence from the Para
guayan forces: A battle took place on
the oath of September at Villeta where
Lopez was strongly entrenched with all
his troops. The allied forces attacked
his position but were repulsed by means
of ambuscades which had been laid in
the woods. The loss of the Brazilians
in killed and wounded was very heavy.
After this defeat the allied army went
mo camp at Palines. There they were
constantly harrassed by the Paraguay
an guerrillas who frequently cut off
thcirsupplies and interrupted their COM
munications. The Brazilian iron clads
cad bombarded Augostua but without
effect. 1t was rumored that a revolt had
broken out in the Argentine Confedera-
ton against President Sarmiento.

Nova Scotia and the New Dominion.


Nova Scotia, as the readers of the HERALD
have again and again been told, is not satisfied
with its place in the Canadian Confederation.
Deputations of Blue Noses have gone to Lon
don and complained to the Imperial Parlia-
ment but they have returned without hav-
ing obtained much satisfaction. If there is
any grievance in the case the wrong must
be righted by the Parliament of the Do
minion. 1t appears from our latest news that
a deputation from Ottawa, consisting of the
Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, Sir G.
E. Cartier and William Macdougall, have ar
rived at Halifax with a view to ascertain and,
if possible, to remove differences. The Hon
orable Joseph Howe, who has for some
time been regarded as the patriot of Nova
Scotia, has done his best to make the reception
of the delegates agreeable. The Nova SEQ
tians have turned upon their former idol and
called him traitor Meanwhile it is rumored
that Mr.. Howe has been bribed by the offer of
a place in the Cabinet of the New Dominion,
DR.. Upper, a we'll known politician, retiring
in his favor. This is the way things are
managed generally, and it will not surprise us
if the Nova Scotians bow to the inevitable and
give up the contest. 1t will be better if they
do, for we have no desire to see more civil
war on the northern part Of this Continent.
In good time the Dominion may find
peace in the bosom Of the Union.

meeting OF Post No. 20, Union League Asso-

President, w. H. c. Curtis, in the chair. About
twenty-five persons (colored) were present. and the
objects announced were the discussion Of the ques
ton OF manhood suffrage" and the formation OF
Grant and Colfax Presidential Campaign Club,
whereby the colored voters OF this city might take
part in the coming election"
The CHAIRMAN in calling the meeting to order said
that very many of the colored voters OF this city
were dissatisfied with the platform Of the Chicago
Convention and prior to the Fourth OF July Conven-
vention In this city it was question by
no means decided as to which way the
colored vote would 60, North and South. They,
however could have no object In support
ing the democratic nominees The bloody
strife OF six years ago 1t was true was now over but
there was strife then originated that had yet TO be
settled at the ballot box, and 1t only necessary
to see the democratic party again 10 power to see
the Southern States. The reputation Of the ma
tiona debt and the overturnng OF the reconstruction
laws ward t men su Pdf e @
who composed that Convention could now be heard
at the South, in Wade Hampton's ., boast
three principal articles In the democratic
platform The colored voters of New York certainly
could have no sympathy for Seymour or Blair and
must sustain only the republican party. and that
party and the men who supported It would have to
work vigilantly to secure the victory next fall The
democratic party was already at work In the South
and working with good success among the negro
population. The colored man should now come
forward at the North and show his strength In the
republican ranks, to which he owed much That
party 1t was true, claimed that all the rights the
colored man enjoyed that party had given him; but
that was question which would bear discussion.
A series OF resolutions was then offered endorsing
the nominees and platform OF the Republican Ma
tional Convention aud pledging support to It's nomi-
nations.
Mr.. POWELL then addressed the meeting at some
length, In the course Of which he expressed his
doubts OF the wisdom OF pledging their support to
any party. They had done 80 before and had been
deceived, and there was no reason to believe that
they might not again be made the victims OF mis-
placed confidence. He certainly opposed the forma-
ton OF Grant and Colfax club.
Mr.. FREEMAN then spoke In favor OF the republican
party, and concluded by arguing that the colored
man had not been wholly aided by that party, the
aid that had been rendered him came from men VINO
walked under the republican banner
The resolutions were then adopted and Grant
and Colfax club organized, after which the meeting
adjourned.
