One Of our exchanges insinuates that the
Dispatch has changed ground on the third
term question since the late election. If
that paper will read the following editorial
paragraph from the Dispatch of September
9th it will perhaps do us the justice to set
,tse! right:
"Let the Halifax Record remember that
we of the South are already slaves, as is SO
olainly shown in the Louisiana case, and that
The northern people do not know themselves
to be in the same condition, and will not
know it for years il we allow them to change
Presidents every four years, but will imme-
diately realize the fact ii Grant be elected for
Il third term, and that paper will perhaps
better understand our position. Renoml'
nate Grant and there can be but two re-
su,s-either the North will repudiate him
and elect a Democrat, or else Grant Will De
elected and the North thoroughly converted
to the southern theory of the nature OF cur
government"

0Ilr HIGHWAYS.

We incidentally, in an article in yesterday
mornings Dispatch, admonished the people
o. Richmond that they could not hope to
resist the effects of "terminal arrangements :"
il New York found, with Gil her power, that
she was sufferer from that cause. Rich
mond is feeble indeed, compared with New
York, and there could be nothing more idle
than the idea that she, with her folded arms
and serene Indifference, can resist injuries
that New York, with all her power and &C.
tivity, is unable to avoid.
Yet, this is the way we have met the ar
engagements of railways, their terminal
facilities" on one hand and their "discrimi-
Mating Instructions" on the other. We
must impress it most earnestly upon the peo-
pie of Richmond that they can in this way
do no good whatever for themselves and
avoid no injury that railway corporations
may find it beneficial to themselves to infict
upon the city.
We have recently appointed committees
with the purpose of having this subject
fully Investigated. We trust that they will
proceed actively to discharge their duties
The subject is important. There is no tell.
ing what an amount of injury few comb
nations and a hostile arrangement of freights
and schedules may do a community. 1t is 8
fact that has startled the people Of this day
that corporations into whose bodies the
people breathed the breath of life may
turn upon their creditors and inflct upon
their dearest interests the most serious in
juries. They must be watched with con
slant vigilance by those who would ayoie
their occasionally ruinous policies.

THE VETO OF THE IMITATION BILL,

The President returned the Currency
bill recently passed by Congress to the
Senate on Wednesday last with his Veto
Great excitement was caused at the capitol
by this unexpected action. The President
is opposed to increasing the volume of ire
deemable paper currency with no measure
looking to the return of specie payments
He cites former acts of Congress pledging
the Government to return to specie pay
ment, and also the pledges of both politi-
cal parties to the same effect. The Pres-
dent says:
AS a measure preparatory to free bank
ing, or for placing the Government in a
condition to redeem its notes in coin q" at
the earliest practicable moment" the rev.
enues of the country should be increased
so as to pay current expenses, provide for
the sinking fund required by law, and also
surplus to be retained in the Treasury in
gold. | am not a believer in any artificial
method of making paper money equal to
coin when the coin is not owned or held
ready to redeem the promises to pay; for
paper money is nothing more than prom
ises to pay, and is valuable exactly in pro-
poTtlou W Ine amount Oh cOln tnaI IL can
be converted into. While coin is not used
as circulating medium or the currency of
the country is not convertible into it at par,
it becomes an article of commerce as much
as any other product. The surplus will
seek foreign market, as will any other
surplus, for balance of trade has nothing
to no with the question. Duties on i'm
ports being required in coin, creates linn
tied demand for gold. About enough to
satisfy that demand remains in the coun-
try. To increase this supply see ne way
open but by the Government boarding
through the means above given, and posi-
bly, by requiring the national banks to aid.

A REDUCTION IN TIE PAY OF GAUGERs.
Members of the House who do not live in
the district where whisky is made were
surprised to-day to learn how important a
position the Office of gauger is. Over two
hours were spent to day in a very animated
discussion about the pay of these officials.
They are now limited to 81 day, and the
Appropriations Committee, looking about
for opportunities to reduce the expenses of
the revenue service, concluded to cut them
down to S.. AS there are about 800 of
them, this would save nearly 5000, 900 a
year. The gaugers were not without
friends, however. From the earnest and
persistent opposition made by large num-
Der of members to the propose reduction,
it would appear that to assist in the nomi-
nation and election of his member is as
much a part of the gauger's dnty as to
measure spirits. 1t was amusing to hear
members who have a score or so of friends
and political supporters drawing pay as
gaugers, tell of the laborious duties of
these deserving public servants, and their
extraordinary ability and incorruptible in
tegrity. Finally, the Committee was sus-
tanned and the reduction clause left in the
Appropriation bill by the votes of the Re-
publicahs who had no gaugers, because
there is no whisky produced in their dis
tricts, and the Democrats, who, being
"out in the cold," are always on the side
of economy when it affects office holders

LEGISLATIVE EXPENSES.

Mr.. EDIToR:-1n view of the important
and necessary legislation left undone by
the Legislature. does it not become an
interesting question to taxpayers why the
members of that body should have received
pay, at the rate.Of five dollars per diem,
for the entire 80 days elapsing between
January 18th, the day upon which the Leg
islature assembled, and the 9th of April,
when it adjourned? The constitution GER
tainly does not contemplate payment for
every one of the 80 days to which the ses-
sion is limited where it provides that no
member shall be paid for " such day as he
may be absent, unless absent on account of
sickness, or by leave of the house Of which
he is a member" Now, as there were
thirteen 13) Sundays during the time spec
flied, and sixteen 16) week days las is
stated upon which the Legislature was not
in session, by reason Of adjournments from
Friday to the following Monday or Tues
day, it follows that 90 days-nearly one
third of the entire session-were paid for
by the people of the State, contrary to the
constitutional provision. This payment to
twenty-four Senators and eighty-six Dele
gates, with extra pay to the two presiding
officers, and the amount paid to the various
employees of the Legislature will aggre-
gate 100000 paid for services never rem
dered. How is this for " salary grab p"

A Bit Of History that Should be Remem.
bered.

Mr.. Kelley, in reply to Mr.. Clymer, Of
tives, condenses piece of important Dem
ocratic history which should not be forgot
ten, or lost sight of in these days when
dishonesty of officials is occupying so much
public attention. Let no thieves who have
worked themselves into Office through the
Republican party be spared, but driven out
with whips of scorpions, but at the same
time the corruption and crimes Of the
party which the Republican party super
seeded should not be forgotten.
Mr.. Kelley-I say the system of land
grants, which eliminated in the Credit
Mobilier, was inaugurated by the Democ-
Iacy with the Illinois Central Railroad, and
the gentleman who now attempts to thrust
his head into this fight was in Congress
when the Democratic party inaugurated
the system.
No corruption9 What did Jacob Thomp-
son do?
No Vice President led home in digrace ?
No; but they had one who fled to the Con-
federacy.
What did John B. Floyd doo
His young friend should have read some
thing that had been said on the other side
to test the correctness of his assertions.
What became of the navy of the United
States during that time? Why, sir, it was
stolen and sent by Democratic Secretary
to the most distant parts of the world.
What became of the munitions Of war
in our Northern arsenals? They were all
down there, except few guns that the
people of Pittsburg seized and refused to
surrender when they were ordered for the
armament of fort not constructed
There was nothing that belonged to the
Government that was not stolen; the army
was stolen and sent to Brownsville and the
interior of Texas, and not let out until
every man had been put under pledge of
parole.
The revenues in six years was run down
from sixty-four millions to thirty nine mil
lions, and during those six years seven
loans were made for the expenses of the
Government, and so bad was its credit that
Treasury notes were hawked about at one
per cent a month, and two of the seven loans
were authorized to be awarded the highest
bidder, no matter what the terms might be.
There had never been such prohigacy, cor
ruption, imbecility and oppression of the
people as in those days of Pierce and Buc-
nanan. Inc gentleman had said there was
no army then, and there was no use for one
now. There had been an army since then
Of nearly three million men, and one nearly
as large and equally gallant, drawn from
the other side to oppose it. Why was this
1t was because there was no Andrew Jack
son, but James Buchanan in the chair,
who, when the leaders came to him, did
not say, "By the Eternal, the Union shall
be preserved" but who shed bucketsful of
tears and piteously begged that it might
not come while he held the office; that they
would put it off till his successor came in.
Out of his weakness and imbecilty came a
war such as the world had never seen.

eB- The Gazette of Wilmington, has oc-
casional correspondents in Ekton, who
seem to take special pleasure in making
that paper the victim of sensation canards.
Tile Gazette owes it to it's fair fame, as a
family journal, and to the public, to make
an example of such correspondents by pub
fishing their names as common liars. A
little wholesome discipline of this kind
would effectualy guard it from future
impositions of the kind. The Gazette was
victimized by such parties from this town
about year and ahalf ago, and the same
game has been practiced on it this week
Publish their names, Gazette. 1t is no
violation of the sacred obligation to pre-
serve secrecy between publisher and cor
respondent, to give the public the name of
a wilful dissemination of falsehood.

WThe Annapolis Gazette, says

Governor Groome is the "best abused -
man in the State, about this time. by his
Democratic friends. He can do nothing to
please them. At one corner we hear a
squad of soreheads denouncing him as an
enemy to "local self-government;" at an
other as "dictator, " for refusing to sign
the Severn river Bridge bill; at still anoth-
er "tool in the hands of Michael" in
Withholding his assent to DIR. Henkle's
Switzer's Bridge bill, and SO on, and so on
The Governor spent a few days at home
in Elkton this week where he met with
nothing but kindly greetings from friends
and neighbors. Cecil having no bills to
sign or pocket, the Governor had no disap-
pointed partizans or non partizans to abuse
him.
