egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the ma
tive herbs found on the lower ranges of

the cause of disease, and the patient re-
covers his health. They are the great

of the system. Never before in the
history of the world has medicine been

Col. Fred Grant, whose remarkably rap
id promotion over the heads OF deserving
officers who have seen actual service mas
excited a great deal of feeling 10 the army,
has not generally been suspected OF Diooo-
tbirstiness. Indeed, the circumstances
under which he left the Yellowstone ex-
pedition were such as to give reason Tor
belief that he was a young man OF the
most pacific tendencies. 1t appears, how
ever. that the martial influences OF Wash
ington has excited his ambition and led
him to make an effort to distinguish him
self as a belligerent. With this intent, &C.
cordine to the reports from Washington,
he made an advance upon the private res
idenee of Brevet Brig. Gen Dom Piatt, in
the absence of the gallant Brevet Brigadier
General with the avowed purpose of call
ing him to personal account for something
that he had printed in his newspaper, the
Capital. As the object of his wrath was
not at home no blood was shed, though the
distinguished young Colonel doubtless sue,
coed in terrifying the female servants OF
the household by his ferocious aspect. Ii
was this little incident to which led Brevet
Brig. Gen. Dom Piatt to publish the fol
lowing card, which appears at the head o.
| the editorial columns of the Capital O.

Radical drunken scoundrel of U. S.Judge,
from Louisiana DurrelD will not be ac-
copied in the face of his impeachment,
but that he will be required to prove his
innocence of the charges preferred against
him, or be degraded from the position he

EXECUTIVE.

"For compensation of
the President OF the Uni
ted States, twenty-five
thousand dollars"
The daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1873-1877, 1874-01-16

les are granted to the President by the
act, one at the rate of $4,000, and the
other at $4,000 year There is no re-
pealing clause in the statute. Yet in the
face of this fragrant contradiction, Sena-
tors rise up aud coolly say that this partic-
ular salary cannot be touched because the
Constitution protects it.
That would be true if there was but one
rate of compensation, tbut no sane man
will dare to maintain that the Constitution
sancti6es two conflicting salaries, or deter
mines in an anomalous case like this which
of two contradictory provisions is to stand.
As the statute reads, who will venture to
affirm which OF these rates was intended to
be fixed Therefore all the utterances on
this point are absurd.
1t is admitted that as between the two
appropriations the President has the dis
erection to choose the higher, until Con
gress finally and formally determines
whether it means to give him $50 900 or Il
retain the old pay of $25, 900. That is his
privilege, and he has exercised it in favor
of his own pocket. A President sensitive
to any possible suspicion of self interes
would have drawn the accustomed salary
and referred the question to Congress
That is not Gen. Grants habit. He is not
delicate where personal profit is concerned
To assert that the compensation has beer
regulated by this law so as to bring i
within the prohibition of the Constitution
to increase or diminish during Gen. Grant
incumbency, is to ignore it's express Ian
guage and to exclude from view one ap
preparation which is equally binding witt
the other. When this question is agai
discussed we shall expect Mr. Hamilton
and the Administration Senators to inform
the public which of the two salaries
obligatory, and whether the incongruit
cannot be repealed Let there be no dodg
ing or quibblng.-N T. SIN.

Daring the whole debate upon the salary
bill in the House of Representatives ana
the Senate, not a member OF either SIDE
has exposed the fact that the act OF Marcn
3, 1878, about which so much has peen
said, makes two distinct and different APP
preparations for the pay of the PRESIDENT
Vice-P President, Supreme Court Cabinet,
Congress, and the multitude OF ofnclals
whose compensation was increased.
1t has been falsely and ignorantly as
sumed throughout that the double pay yo-
ted to the President was regular, and
therefore could not be increased or dimin-
ished during the peorid in which he held
the Office. We have already taken occa-
sion TO expose this deception, but since 1t
is continued the truth will bear repetition.
Mr.. Hamilton Of Maryland, who is in
earnest on the subject of reform, but de-
luded by error. told the Senate the other
day:
If know the character Of President Grant II
understand him at all, Re eOiH care nothing d6oW
the action Of this Congress, because he Is not re
sponsible for 1t and for our conduct here upon THU
subject The law now provides that he shall hav,
$4,000 year. The Constitution OF the United
States says thathe shall have it, and that we canno
take 1t from him"
Mr.. Hamilton is right when he says thu
President will care nothing about the &C
ton of Congress" but he is wrong in say
ing that he is not responsible for meas
ure which he personally urged in ever.
way, and which he officially approved AM

Now in regard to the pay. Here are tn
two appropriations for the President. Use
