wauted-ImperiaI Salaries.

From Forney's Washington etter'l
Talking Of salaries, the principle Of
civil service, which is to get good men
and pay them well, should be fearlessly
applied to sll our tried officials. The
President ought to have a hundred
thousand a year and a good private
residence +; the Cabinet Ministers each
twenty-five thousand, and the Justices
of the Supreme Court at least twenty
thousand year. Then promote worthy
men in the Bureaus from small to
larger pay, and the work OF decent JUS
tice is we'll begun. You have no right
to Ark anybody to be President to
make himself poor man; to entertain
on his own or somebody else's money
At best, he well earns what he gets In
the shape of dollars, even il he de.
serves an occasional criticism to season
the salary. Need | say it is not as it
used to be? The increase of population
and the cost OF living makes it simply
right that we should be more generous
to all our officials Now the very
worst men get prlDceIv salaries, while
the best must either live misers or be
the merest dependents or borrowers
10 use the express on OF an eccentric
Senator several years ago-they must
ethics starve or steal.

An article entitled The History OF

an authoritative source, the motives

Gus in its consequences in all history
Among the first to demand this order
was Horace Greeley, in a letter,
earnest but dic,atorial in tone" in
the columns of the Tribune. 1t in
creases orr respect tor the memory OF
Lincolu to find him for q long time re-
ssting this outside pressure. His an
swer TO these demands was also given to
the press, and in it we fud clearly
stated the views and principles by
which he was governed. He wrote /:
"rhe sooner the national authority can

be-the Union as it was. II there be
those who would not save the Union
unless they could at the same time save
slavery, do not agree with them. II
there be those who would not save the
Union unless they could at the same

The Manassas papers are authority
for the statement that it having been
pretty general. known that large nnm-
bers of the Democrats Of Stafford
county would not turn out on the day
OF election, owing to their aversion to
voting for Greeley. the leaders fell mp
on novel plan to entice them to the
polls. The people being bitterly op-
posed to the taxing OF their dogs for
school purposes, the ballots were pre-.
pared, and the people were invited to 60
TO the polls and vote against the obuox,
inus dog law. The result was that
every mothers son OF them turned out,
and not only voted in almost solid
phalsnx against the dog tax, but gave
Greeley vote Of over seven hundred
