Our CARTER las been and gone and done
it again. Ho first distinguished himBolf With
his eagle TINT was no common bird and
flew into tho sprays Of the Pacific. 11o next
rushed to the rescue Of tho Marine Band,
letting tho country know what ho know
about music. Now ho has proposed patent
PROCESS for civilizing the Indian. The oeca-
sion Was tho presentation of cortain amend
ments touching the civilization Of tho ILL.,
dinns. Our OAnTEn opposed the establish
mont Of schools among them upon the
ground TINT education only tended to mike
them worso than thoy wero before. The
abolition Of tho schools was ono feature of
his process. Tho second was moro unique.
Flo would mako tho declaration Of a whito
nun and squaw TINT they wero willing to
live together as man and wife valid
mnrringe. "Let them come together
without hindranco and raiso fami-
lies Of clillron," says our CAnrER.
''This would havo q beneficial effect, but
prohibit these marriages. and a great wrong
would DO porpetratod upon tho Indian race. u
Perhaps tho most surprising statement Of our
CARTER is tho following: "1 bolisve I nm
ono of those in whose veins flows Indian
blood. Whom 1 look at tho picture in the
rotunda Of tho Capitol, representing the bap-
tism OF PocAuoNTAs, one Of my ancestors,
feel that amalgamation with the Indians
should be encouraged Our CARTER must
havo considerable Indian blood in his veins
to advocate tho union Of ignorance and 1nis-
cogenation as u means Of elevating the In
dian. No full.bloodol white man would do
1t. Of course our CAnrIn's yiowB were
laughed at: they always are. His opinions
were rejected: they always ought to be.
But now TINT our CARTER has broached tbs
Indiau-blood business, will he not inform us
whether he is Lalf-breed or IN octoroon
Docs he bolieve that miscegeuatiou is aa

times, then thnir compensation waa too high
whom tho Democrats originally voted It. Tho
fact Ia that clerks who received 81, 900 In
gold in 1854 really got only $3.50 gold valuo
now on tho eano basis, and II their pay WAS
not cxorbitant in 1854 it cortainly oannot
be so at this time.
The sonato did right, too, In restoring tho
itom Of $4,000 for tho Presidents salary.

ing tho salary Of bis successor to $25ooo.

sists on tho reduction, ia to pass tho bill over
tho veto. II this cannot bo dono tho appro-
priasion ought to DO mado which the law
requires. Aside from this, there Is no Justice
in tho proposed reduction. Tho sum OF
s5o,000 In deprecated notos is little enough
to pay tho Chiof Magistrate Of nation Of
forty-four millions, and it is not cnsy for
President to aave any money out Of that
compensation In Wow Of the extraordinary
and unavoidable expenses attached to tho
position. To reduce tho Presidents Batary
to S25, 600 in papor now would 10 to restore
it to tho same figure rs WINS originally paid at
the formation of tho Government with four
millionB Of people, when ~ was equivalent
to the value Of 50 now. Congress- nenn-
whils has increased tho pay of It's own men,-
bers half dozen times, and by about GOO
per cont, since then. II tho patriotism OF
tho Democrats in Congress demands tho ro-
duction Of tho Presidents salary to what It
WAS in Washington's time, thon tho patriot
ism Of the country may reasonably demand
that the poy OF Oongressmen Bhnll be put
back to 81 per dion for actual service. Tho
fact Is TINT tho more respectable Democrats
recognize the niggartlly character of the
proposition. There wero si1 Democratic
votes in the Sonate in favor of restoring tho
sum. Of $50, ,0OO-BAYAnp of Delaware,
CoopEn Of Tennessee, JOHNSTON and W1TH-
Ems Of Virginia, NonwooD Of Georgia, and
RANSOM Of North Carolina; and some fftoon

Democratic Senators disapproyed Of tho
denagogism OF the House in this matter.

which has boen printed in pamphlet form BY

culation as campaign document. He
claims that it is garb1ed and distorted, and is
anxious to have it believed that he never
snid what is imputed to him. Unfortunately
for tho Georgia Confederate, tho pamph.
lot in question contains literal
and exact transcription Of what ho said
on that occasion, aud the only garbiing OF
elimination TINT has boon done was done by
himself when, perceiving tho damaging
effect upon the Democratic party Of his

AIr. RICHMOND is the representative Of
class Of timorous Republicans, q class OF
doubling TuoMAsEs, aud in anaworing him
we shall answer thom also. 1ia is mistaken
in two vital points. First, as to ANDREW
JOHNSON. hfr. JOHNSON sieper WIGS Rcpub-
lican ind never protessed to DO ono. lie did
not accept tho nomination of Vioe-Prosldent
as Republican. IIo always called himself
aud was always known as Union Democrat
There IL nothing on record, either In what ho
laa written or spoken, which contains q
formal declaration of belief In Republican
principles, No was from the outset, and
always, dyctl.in-t the.wool pro-slavery De1a-
ocrat. Ilo mover professed to be even m
anti-slayery man. lie was born and raised
among tho poor white traah, and his highest
ambition WIZ to elovato himself into tho
asistocratio class of shareholders. Ho
worked with Ills "goose" for years TO
reach this elevation, aud when he
had accumulated money enough to
buy a few negroes his highest
earthly ambition WIS satisfied. OF ANDREW
1ouasoNs Uniouism and devotion to tho
country there IL no doubt, but ho mover waa
devoted to the Republican party. because he
never was member Of It, Pro-alavcry Dam-

Under strict party vote, 12o to SO, tho

have passed BANH1Na's army bill, without

pro-slavery prejudices, is as infamous as
il is unjust. 1t il part and parcel
of their old Copporheadis1n and opposi-

black man his freedom. It is part and
