The Salary Grail,

Some time since, Ben Butler pub.
lishod letter in defence Of tho
salary grab. He claims that Con.
gress had sufficient precedent to jus.
tify its action, both iu tho acts OF
former Congresses, and in the con.
stant appropriations made to persons
who have rendered services to tho
country. According to his theory,
all pcnsioncd soldiers, MI clorks and
attaches who have received extra pay
at tho expiration of their terms, and
all persons who have received tcsti-
morials from Congress are back pay
gyatbors. His characteristic audaci.
ty and impudcnce manifest them
selves in this defence.

cd, tho purchasers in many cases be-

Tho Union Herald also very sensi-
hly repudiates any such policy and
shows its folly and injustice. The
poor man cannot be bcueGtcd by any
such device, and all lands will fall
into tho hands of capitalists. If
Congressman Rainey has the interest

The sooner ho abandons thi, idoa tho

We also maintain that tho action
OF tho I,c: islaturc in lcvying ruin
ona ratio Of taxation, was not actuated
hy any such apparently philantAropio
motives as is udduccd by our Con-
gresham. Ihe fact is that largo
sum Of monay is required by tho inx
competency and greed Of our law
makers. Tho primary object is to
raise this sum ; and it is raised, even
if tho State is made bankrupt by such
action. The spccinus plea Of making
lands cheap is en- after thought, u
plausible clectionccring dodge.
Congressman Kaiaey has hereto
fore to some extent enjoyed tho con-
fidcnce of the whites. If he persists
in advancing such ideas our respect
will vanish.

ism, put before its readers Il series of
aIlo articles upon the probability Of
GRANTS receiving third term, and
plcturing the manifold evils which
; Will accrue to the rcputlic from such
an event. The p7css over the entire
country have taken up the cry; and
as yet We have seen nothing favoring
such a step. The administration
Journals cyado tho question, and arc
evidently feeling the public pulse
That pulse is as yet too strong for
them. The debilitating Influences of
corrupt Legislation aud the unhealthy
state Of the body polite have not yet
destroyed all yes,iscs Of patriotism
in the people. Ii is therefore unsafe
at present for the satellites Of our
smoky Caesar 10 press his claims for

but the government is fast drifting
towa1ds ccntrahs4tiJn. The South
has long been under dcspotic sway,
and tho bulwarls Of state integrity
rrc being slowly but surely under
| mined at the North. The admiuistra-
ion can now control elections in al
most every State, and unless some
change comes TO pass, the election Of
1876 will be cut aad dried before tie
canvass is begun. The President with
his nrmy Of oiEoc holders can throttle
his opponents, and walk leisurcly over
the course. We believe tho matte.
rests solely with himself. If he
wishes a third term ho can have it.
And wc have never yet behcd any
evidence of modcsty on his part lead
ing US to believe that Lo will decline
the honor within his grasp. The
more fact that he can obtain that
which no one since Washington has
aspircd to, is II itself a strong tomp-
tation. 1t rests with him to decide
whether ho will be q Ciucinnatus or
a Caesar.
Though this question is agit tat;ng
tho people of the North, it Possesses
littlo interest for the South. The
long roll which summoned tho South
ern troops to surrender, was the death
knoll Of Southern Independence
While the Janus. faced admin istra-
ton has been republican to the North
1T has been IN absolute monarch to
tho South and a vindictivc monarch
| at that. Grant has been Cesar in
all but name. Let him throw aside
! his mask and proclaim his true char
aotcr. Many who oppose Grant the
President, would welcome Grant tho
dictator. Being supreme ho would
have no motives for continuing tho
struggle against the whites of the
South. We have nothing to lose. -
Wo may gain much. In our present
condition al election is buta mock.
ory. Let the North fight tho battle
herself. We warn her to beware lest

grasp her throat Gro sho is prepared
for resistance.
