INCREASE OF SALARIEs.-There was a strike
for higher wages in Congress before the close
OF the session. They wanted to get their wages
up to $4,000 year. They commenced by
concluding that the President should have $50
900 year instead Of j325, 900, which had been
the standard pay for the executive of the nation
80 many years. They finally passed the bill
/, doubling the Presidents salary and giving them
selves $500 year, counting backward for the
| two years Of their term. SO they obtained
what they struck for. This was peculiar strike
The men who held the purse and ordered the
pay OF the hands, struck TO take more pay for
themselves. 1t did not look v5ry well. 1t looked
much like cashier opening d till and helping
himself to what pay he wanted to increase his
salary; but it was Congress, and there WAS no
help.
Seriously, this example OF Congress Is one
fraught with mischief of far greater magnitude
than is generally recognized The government
can pay these high salaries without much
trouble, and the conscences of the members
OF Congress certainly are not much troubled
about taking all they can get but the example
is bad one and extends through our whole
society. Extravaganza in governmental circles
creates desire to be extravagant throughout
the country.

NEW YORK, July 25, 1873.
A paragraph in the Press of 23d inst, quot
ing the New York Eoening Post as authority
for the statement that Senator Conkling and
Howe are ineligible for the Post of Chief
Justice leads ME to call your attention to the
fact that both those senators entered upon
new terms on the 4th of March 1873. Con-
sequentiy both of them are eligible.
It's generally understood that Senator
Conisling can have the vacant Office If no
wants it, but his friends are decidedly adverse
to his being wrapped up in judicial robes and
laid away, at his age, and with six wears,
Senatorial term before him. The Senator 80
but 43 years old. He is the aclnowle dyed
and undisputed leader and head of the Re-
publican party in the Empire State. He is
endo wed with such surprising ability, coup-
led with perfect integrity and chiyalrous
sense OF honor, that he is lifted entirely above
rivalry in the ranks of his own political partv
Hitherto the country has known him hest
and admired him most as the fearless and do
termined foe of that faction which souobt ,o
divide the Republican party, and which came

circumstances quite beyond his control He
had no taste for it. He has lofty scorn of
the little arts of party schemers. He places
small faith in patronage as an element of par
tisan strength.

first the State Committee, and afterwards
the State Convention, he gave them battle,
with courage, skill, and force, that sent
them Keeling into the camp of the enemy.
But now that the ranks are closed up, the
party united, and there is no longer valuable
time to be wasted in healing dissensions at
home, Senator Conkling will take the nigh
rank in national affairs to which he is entl-
tied. In debate he has already SHOWN nim-
self without a superior in eltner mouse OF
Congress-. But he IS something more than
great parliamentary orator. he Is careful
and pains taking student allke OF ancient
richly stored with the lore which fits man
for craftsmanship. The transfer of this bril-
liant and accomplished gentleman from the
Senate to the Supreme Bench would involve
the loss to the former body of one of its most
distinguished ornaments, would deprive the
Republicans of New York of leader in
whom they have the most abiding confidence,
whom they hold in affectionate regard, and
whom the prestige of past successes has
taught them to consider inviDcible.
1t is very questionable also, whether Mr.
Conkling would find such change of pur-
suits congenial to his tastes. He has had so
large share in the conduct of public affairs
for the past few years, through his cordial re-
lations with the administration, that he
could hardly be expected to go into retiracy
without some passing regrets.
In some respects the judicial office would
suit him. He dislikes the publicity which
is inseparable from his position. Nothing an
novs him so much as figuring in the newspa-
pers. He is peculiarly sensitive on this point.
That is one of the reasons why it was so diff
cult to push him 10 the front when the insur-
rection broke out in the Republican ranks.
But once there, he proved himself equal to
every emergency. Those who remember
how calamity he rallied the disorganized
forces of his party within an hour of midnight
at the Syracuse Convention of 1871. and gath
ering them in solid column, struck the final
and fatal blow at the knot of disOrganisers
who made their last stand then and there I'M
der the lead of poor old Horace Greeley, can
bear witness alike to his irresistible eloquence
and his uncomfortable pluck.
If he were an older man, if the chief JUS
ticeship were rendered him as the browning
reward of life already extended beyond its
meridian it would be quite another thing.
But to bury in ermine, a man who has at
least quarter of century of useful, practical
eminent public work in him. is a thing which
will not be done without occasioning a good
deal of sorrow among the ''old guard' Of the
Republican party to whom the name of RoS-
CoE CoNKLING is doubly dear as gallant
and victorious leader, and as the most gifted
man within the limits of the State of New
York.
