More Votino-PlaceS.

A candidate for q high office told us the
Other day that he intended to get up pctl-
tion 10 the City Committee asking that body
TO provide for more than one yotinS-place
in each ward at the primary election. 1t is
perhaps not important to have more IN
Madison Ward, or Jefferson, or Marshall;
but 10 Monroe, Clay, and jackson, it is
matter OF no little Importance. A good
many OF the Orcgon-liill voters are
in Monroe Ward. Clay Ward includes
Belle Isle. And Jackson Ward extends
from Sheep Hill to Union Hil,-from EU-
kER's brewery on the west to Eighteenth
street on the east, and from Broad street
north to the corporation line. Surely one
voting-place is not enough il the people o!
these wards are to be afforded fair oppor-
tunity TO express their wishes, and malcon-
tents are to be given no grounds for COM
plant.
The facts are known to the committee.
Let it think over the matter. 1t Is . icgisia-
tive body, and can amend to-day the law it
passed Yesterday.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1876-04-20

Have it your way, neighbor Of the Ncns.
But. really, we cannot see how we have
damaged your iavorite candidate. The facts
we mentioned were brought out four years
AFRO. when there was some talk OF running
him for President. They will unquestion-
ably bc used again at st. Louis II he shows
any strength there. But even II they could
have been kept in the background until after
his nomination, the Radical papers would
have reproduced them in every shape
and form then. Still, it amuses us, and
ought, perhaps, to fiatter us to reao
0, the damage which we have done to enc
military Pennsylvania by plain, unYar-
nished statement OF his connection with the
hanging OF ATzHEoTT, PAYNE, Mrs. srRRATT,
and the other two victims OF martial law.
But. in the name Of logic, how could we
damage General HhNcoCK's prospects by
stating facts which, if several OF our con-
temporaries arc to be believed, will not DC
considered at all discreditablc to him by any
man OF good sense and sound Judgment.
He merely did his duty, they say. very
wei. Can we iniurc man by stating the
duty which he performed Ii you VIII
cxplain this matter to us, We will agree 10
drop the subject.

Tha presidents Salary,

No .hall not condemn the President for
,e,o,np the bin proposing to reduce the
.a,sr. ~ his successors In office. Fifty
.bo,,sand dollars annually is not too large a
snn, for the chief executive officer OF a ma
t;on 81 forty milliens OF people to receive.
I, Is not SO large. all things considered, as
she amount OF twenty-five thousand was
when WASHINGTON was President; and this
fac, General GRANT shows, so it is said, in
his veto message. 1t isa difficult question
70 deal with--this question OF salaries
II seems almost inevitable that we
shall have to resort to the British plan OF
high salaries for high judicial and executive
officers, and no pay for the members OF
what Ran, Tucker would call the American
Parliament. The result will be in the last
case that none but wealthy men can be
elected 20 Congress at all. But what can
bc dones Look at New York city, where
some men have incomes Of millions. How
is 2 Judge to be expected to serve the pubic
for FIVE to ten thousand dollars per annum
when he sees his late associates at the bar
receiving ten times as much sometimes IN
the course OF single year, and sometimes
perhaps tor days services The CHIEF
Justice of the United States does not re-
cciye hall as much annually Us HENRY
W,rp BEECHEI. BEN. BUTLER probably
makes fifty thousand dollars year by his
" pra .tice." JAY GOULD makes his nun
drcds OF thousands every year. what
brihcs such man has it in his power to
offer to judges. Yet there can be no remedy
for this state OF things. All we can DO Is
70 give such salaries as will place good men
above want. Let them feel easy IN thelr
places. and have no fears OF The future.

We ask no more Of the State than it has
done. II ii can prove from our files that
We have denounced HANCOCK, or have been
shown to be in error, or have shifted our
ground, that is fair newspaper warfare.
We shall never complain OF it for such. II
we understand the meaning OF language,
the extracts from the Dispatch disprorc the
States assertions concerning us. At any
rate, we are willing to be tried by the re-
cord,
As TO the charge that we have shifted
ground, we can hardly think the State in
earnest. II we did, the .State "shifts
ground every time it takes new view OF
question which it has previously dis
cussed. To. justify its charge, the State
says that not one OF the papers We asked to
put themselves on The record & had propbe-
sled about the thing at all. = Yet here is.
what the Waig Of Monday said:
Were Hancock to be nominated this
charge would not lose him q single vote. 2

called for ours OF Tuesday. The Slate has.
