Mr.. BECK, Of Kentucky, is after the PreSi'
dents salary. We think Mr.. BECK might be
after something more beneficial to the coun.
try. Congress increased the Presidents
salary. What sort of grace would there be
in the act if the salary be now reduced
General GRANT approved the increase OF the
congressmen's pay, and we think they should
leave tue increase of his salary just where
it is.
Mr.. BECK proposes TO cut off the usual ap-
preparations for the Presidents house, stable,
kitchen, &c. What that amounts to weknow
not but it has been customary to vote it.
His former salary with that appropriation
,svas regarded rs utterly inadequate, and it
was increased but if you offset the increase
by abolishiug the former extra appropria'
ton you destroy the generosity, grace. and
fairness Of the act giving the increase.
We hope Congress will not harken to Mr.
BECK unless he proposes still further to in
crease the salary in order to dispense with
the ordinary appropriation for stables, &c.
Let us have fair play and liberal legislation.

We copy the above for two reasons. f'rst !:
to let our people see what flourishlng Guy
with no greater advantages than RICHMOND
has is doing merely TO afford pleasure ana
commend their town TO the stranger.
Second: to notice some remarkable state
ments made by the Sun. We are surprised
that bucks do serious injury to the trees !;
but we are more surprised that squirrels are
accused of killing birds. We fear there has
been unnecessary murder of the gallant
bucks, and we suspect dead trees are wrong
fully accused Of dying because the birds are
not left by " bunnie.' to destroy the worms.
Things are much mixed up'in Druid Hill
Park, we suspect. We never heard of SPUR
rels killing birds. We suspect that the cats
from the neighborhood make raids into the
park and capture the birds. They (the cats
are very aggrcssivc--so much so that they did
not even spare that "good old man, Father
GRIMES" but gave him world of trouble
by their trespasses and disrespcclfu treat
ment of the venerable man. -.
Many trees have probably died from the
revolution wrought in the forest by beauti'
flying 1t as a park. Drainage is sure to kill
some trees. We suspect there is mistake,
by which Captain CAssEL has secured sharp
sport and we beg that no hasty measures
shall be adopted with regard to The squirrels,
which, we are sure, are uDjustly accused
They are not carniverous, and if short OF
food, why not feed them?

Coon ADVICE TO CoLoRED VOTERS. Tile
New York Tribune Of Monday, in the
course of an article upon the ciyl-rights
agitation, gives the following sage advice to
negro voters: -..
III there's no greater difference between
the Republicanand the Democratic party than
that one has Offices to give and the other has
not, the wisest course for the colored men
Is TO disavow all connection as body with
either of them, and vote in all cases accord.
ing to their individual convictions of duty.
Until They divide their suffrage, between
The rival factions they can expect no special
consideration from either. When it Is UNI
ders TODD that they have ceased to follow
biind!y every adyenturer who calls himself
Republican, when they give little more
serious thought to the general interests of
the communities of which they form = uar,
politicians will be prompt enough TO corn
their favor by something better than inc
speeches aud promises"

TIE DIsrRIcT JUDGEsHIP.-The sudden
death of Judge Underwood makes vacancy
which cannot be too cautiously filled. The
increasing business of the courts of this
grade since the war renders it no longer a
sinecure, as formerly, but one of the most
important instrumentalities of our judicial
system. 1t is due to the people of Virginia
az we'll as to the nation that this court
should be a digntied and impartial tribunal,
commanding universal confidence and re-
spect. 1t cannot be this if an appointment
is made upon political grounds merely. The
incumbent should be a man of sound judg-
mcnt and in full sympathy with the great in.
terests of the people, State Journal.
We very sincerely applaud this liberal
and just paragraph from the Journal of yes
terday evening. The United States District
Court in this Virginia district needs such q
man as the Journal describes. We would
not presume to indicate one to the Presi
dent; but we are under the impression that
it is his disposition to appoint some one
worthy of the position. Such an appoint.
ment would put an end to great source OF
irritation and dissatisfaction, and do much
to increase conciiatory sentiments.

Exactly. And what is the use OF, the
po.her about repeating the grab: The grad
was the taking of pay for a past session OF
Congress. That being taken, or grabbed, is
ended, and there is no remedy for it. There
is no disgorging. So the talk about repeal

The question now is: Is the salary Of
$1,000 per annum for member of Congress
too much: II it is, reduce it. But in that
case do not dishonesty reinstate it by re-
storing perquisites-the frank and mileage
that will make the pretended reduction no
reduction at all. Let Congress be honest
