TIE PREsInENI,s SALARY

The New York Times has made the
important discovery that the salary of
the President is altogether too smalP' to
support that officer Gin proper style, and
to enable him to meet his necessary ex-
penditures as chief executive of the na>
tion," and declares that sit ought to be
at the very lowest 100000 The Times
has mo doubt that the next Congress will
take some action in this matter" and ex-
presses the opinion that President Grant
should not be compelled to live in the
cheap boarding house style" 1t is re-
markable that when one dollar in gold
was worth nearly three in greenbacks,
this matter of increasing the Presidents
salary did not occur to the Times. a plain
old lawyer then occupied the White House,
and perhaps it was thought twenty -tiye
thousand dollars was sufficient for him.
We agree with the Times that the sal
airy of the President should be sufficient
to enable him to live in a style becom~
ing the chief executive Of the nation,
but it should not be anything like the
sum named by the Times. The Presi-
dent Of Republic need not live in regal
splcndor, nor should the salary be such
as TO enable him to save an enormous
fortune out Of four years service. Mr..
Lincoln filled the office at time when
the expenses of the executive Mansion
were much larger probably than they
need be during Grants term, and yet we
recOliect seeing it stated that a portion
of his salary had been invested in United
States bonds. IT. however, there
is a probability that The salary attaching
to the office will not be sufficient to en-
able Grant to live in the style that a
chief executive Of republican govern
ment should, Congress ought, 10 justice
to him and to the nation he represents,
to increase the salary to a sum that will
do this. The salary Of the President is
$4,000, and the Times states that at the
time of fixing this amount at repre-
scented five times as much, if not ten
times as much, as it represents now"
A single fact in our history will perhaps
be a sufficient answer to this assertion.
J Jefferson, Madison and Monroe expend-
ed the fall amount Of their salary, and
more too. This shows that the expenses
of the executive mansion were as great
then. if not greater, than at present.

AUST cnIrICrs,I OF colFAN

We called attention at the time Of its
reception here to the bitter, vindictive
speech at Piltaburg 10y Mr.. ColiaX, and
how inappropriate such an exhibition Of
spleen was to the occasion. The Boston
Post thus cxcoriates the speech and the
speaker 4 low, scurrilous, dcmagogi-
cal speech was that of Schuyler Coliax
az Pittsburg, and If be has any latent
sense Of shame, he will one day hang his
head for it. Such a speech, in the hour
Of triumph, when, il ever a mans bet
ter nature is warmed and expanded,
marks the wretched unwortEincss Of the
individual making It. The volubility Of
the Vice President elect has been incc-
ulatcd with fresh venom. Prosperity
brings his character out to view and
pitilul. exhibition it is. The people
cannot feel at all proud Of a public
officer who thus shows that he can
not rise above his lowest prCudiccs.
They Will look to General Grant TO
smother such mean spirit as this at
once. and to decIare that the new admin
istrstion is not to proceed after the Col
fax plan. That a physiological rantI-
pole should insult nearly One-haIf the

them with being enemies Of the country's

SIS sENTER AN ELECTOR.

The fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution of the United States pro
vides that mo person shall be 4
elector of President and Vice President, y
who may have taken an oath to support
the Constitution of the United States and
afterwards gave aid and comfort to the
rebellion. Under this section Mr.. Senter
is clearly ineligible to the Office of elector,
and his election to that position is a null
lity. Section 927 of the Code provides
that in the absence Of any elector when
they shall meet at the seat Of govern.
ment, "the electors then present shall
Immediately elect by ballot, in the press
ence Of the Governor, any qualified
resident citizen of the State to fill such
vacancy" AS Mr.. Senter was ineligible
to the Office his election is nullity, and
there is no vacancy in the contemplation
Of the Code.

RADICALS BLOWING oE EACH
RTHfR


The Radicals have control Of the whole
election machinery in this State. Gov.
Brownlow appoints the Commissioners of
Registration, and none get the position
except such as FILL the BILL" that is,
whose Radicalism is above suspicion.
These Registrars appoint the judges and
other officers to hold the elections, and
experience shows that they have no par.
TALLY for any but men Of their own pc
litical faith. The character Of these APP
pointccs Of the Governor and their ap-
pointees is shown in the wTauslng be-
tween the Radical aspirants for Congress
and their friends in the Memphis district.
The Posi-, the Smith organ, donounces
some Of the Radical offices in Shelby
county as prostitute and treacherous
officials 1t also charges that "the
sworn officers Of the election at Mason's
Depot, in Upton county, disregard,
ing their oaths and their honor,
descended to unqualified, naked
and high-handed fraud" by manipu-
lating the ballots or by falsely reporting
the number cast for each candidate"
This is a Radical talking about Radi-
Gals. He knows them from having acted
with them, and he charges them with
the worst sort Of perjury and djshon-
esty. This, according to the testimony
Of this Radical organ, is the character Of
the men into whose hands the election
machinery of the State has been placed
by Gov. Brownlow. It was charged by
the Press anil Times Of this city. pre-
yious to the late election that no man
could get a certificate of registration, it
mattered not how loyal he might be, IN
less he was pledged to vote for Col
Prosser, one of the Radical candidates.
Thus We find the Radicals charging Gov.
Brownlow's Registrars and their APP
pointccs with perjury and corruption
which should be punished with fines
and Imprisonment. II these charges be
true Of the Registrars and their APP
pointees in the Nashville and Memphis
districts, what are We to expect from the
Registrars in the other counties Of the
State These revelations show into
what corrupt hands the important and
responsible offices Of the State have
fallen. These grave charges of derelic-
ton Of duty and Of perjury are made by
Radicals, YET no effort is made by Eadi-
cal officials to bring the culprits to JUS
tice The purity Of the balIot-boN in
Tennessee, while such practices are not
only permitted but countenanced by
keeping the offending parties in office, is
a myth and our elections worse than a
farce.

UNION AND AMERICAN.
SATURDAY. NOVEMBER II, 1858.
VINO SHALL BE GOVERNOR /?

It is understood that in the course
Of two or three months Gov. Brownlow
will resign his Office to accept the posi-
ton of United States Senator to which
he has been elected for the term CON-
mencing the 4th of March, 1869. The
constitution Of the State provides that Gin
case of the removal of the Governor from
office, or of his death, or resignation, the
powers and duties of the Office shall de-
volve on the Speaker of the Senate and
in case Of the death, removal from of-
fee, Or resignation of the Speaker of the
Senate, the powers and duties of the Of
fee. shall deyolve on the Speaker Of the
House of Representatives" From this
it is plain that Speaker Senter, of the
Senate, is the party to fill out the unex-
pired term of Gov. Brownlow, but is he
qualified, under the fourteenth amend
ment to the Constitution Of the United
States to take upon himself the powers
and duties Of Officer" The third section of
that amendment provides that "Do per-
son shall be Senator or Representative
in Congress, or elcctor Of President and
Vice President, or hold any Office, civil or
military, under the United States or
under any State, who, having previously
taken an oath, as a member Of Congress,
or as an officer Of the United States, or as
member Of any State Legislature, or as
an executive or judicial officer Of any
State, to support the Constitution Of the
United States, shall have engaged in in
surrection OF rebellion against the same,
or given aid and comfort to the enemies
thereof" In the debate on Mr.. Gates
resolution in the Senate yesterday it ap-
pears to have been admitted that Speaker
Senter was guilty as charged but the
resolution was defeated on the ground
that he was elected and qualified as a
Senator and Speaker of the Senate
before the fourteenth amendment had
been ratified. He cannot under this
amendment, which has been in force for
more than three months, qualify as acting
Governor Of this State. The movement
in the Senate to depose him by declaring
him ineligible under the fourteenth
amendment, is supposed to have been in
stigated with the view Of cutting him out
of the acting Governorship. As he is in
eligible to that position, "the powers and
duties Of the Office shall devolve on the
Speaker Of the House Representatives"
provided Mr.. Senter resigns his office of
Speaker of the Senate but If he shall
refuse to resign, then what ? A very
curious muddlc may occur if Mr.. Senter
shall become stilT>necked and refuse 10
surrender his prospective occupancy Of
the Governors office to those who have
been Clutching after it with such eager
haste

ANOTHER proposition to amend the
Constitution of the United States, with
the view of establishing what is called
universal sufrage"-let that mean
whatever its authors and advocates in
tends being mooted.
We doubt very much if such propO-
sition can receive the requisite two-thirds
of Congress necessary to submit it In
the event it should, we suggest that its
ratification shall be by conventions in the
various States composed OF members cleo
ted for the special purpose of considering
it. This ratification Of amendments to
the Federal Constitution, by partisan
Legislatures chosen long before the ques'
ton involved in the amendment has been
considered by the people, and as parts Of
party policy, is gross perversion of
article fifth of the Constitution. This ar
ticle permits of the two modes, and the
legislative plan has not worked well, and
if continued, will work worse.
Preliminary to the primary vote in
each State, all punitive restrictions upon
the franchise should be removed. If this
important question is to be decided by
the people, finally, in the nature Of a
constitutional amendment, all the people
should vote upon it. In the State Of
Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas,
Missouri and West Virginia, by Federal
and State legislation, many citizens are
DISTINGUISHED. Their representative peo-
pie are deprived Of the ballot The
adoption Of an amendment to the Consti.
tuition looking to the permanent ingraft-
ment Of the negro as q constituent Of the
American body polite, without consult
ing this large and influential element, viii
be one of those stupendous blunder:
which amount to crimes. 1t would no
settle the question. A strong govern.
ment might enforce it but an enforced
Constitution is not safe one.
1t is the fashion of Radicals to jeer a
such suggestions as this but if all ex
perience does not go for naught, the tim'
will come, when, if the organic law is t.
be tinkered with by every party tina
may happen to get temporary ascendency

he calls the inconsistencies Of President
Johnson's administration, as it also may,
though that is not pointed out, for the
vagaries Of Sumner and Butler, and pos,
sibly for the crack Drained theories ofDr.
Beard himself. The philosopher Emer>
son has said that there is q crack in
everything human, and therefore all
mankind may be lunatics to greater or
less extent. Physical organization and
the state Of the system may have more
to do with temper and other passions
equally injurious to those who indulge
them than is generally supposed. But
the acceptance Of the principle that un-
governed passions are often the results of
lunacy would seem to initiate against
the moral superiority of man. In APP
plying the phrase 'ungoyernable" to
rage, or any other passion, man is con,
verted into mere crazy machine, which
goes wrong because it cannot help it.
Every man Of common sense knows the
contrary from his own consciousness.
Every such man knows that the most
violent passions can be resisted and over
come. . DIR. Beard would substitute pun
ishment in the lunatic asylum for the
class of offenders he speaks Of instead Of
the punishment provided by the laws.
There would have to be a good many
lunatic asylums, then. These unfortu-
mates can be healed Of their diseases
good deal moro economically thar
that. Even a dog, who is supposed tC
have no reason, can be cured of dis
honesty by sound fagellation, and
men who have not reason enough to
respect the rights Of others have gener.
ally caution enough not to interfere will
them where severe penalty is certain t.
follow. If that kindest of men, for ex.
ample, who very often whipped his chil
dren almost 10 death, despite the tearfu
appeals Of his wife, had been subjected
to the experiment of being whipped al
most to death himself on his first com
mission Of the fragrant inhumanity, will
with certainty of a repetition as Offer
as he was guilty Of the same outrage, h
would have been restored to q bette
mind, and ceased to be hypocrite and +:
humbug."

his having been lifted to prominence he
shows he does not deserve. The Democ-
