THE PROPOSED INCREASE OF FED
ERAL SALARIES.
There is at present quite an ostentatious
display of liberality in the expenditure of the
people's money on the part of newspaper ed
itors, many of them Democratic, who insist
upon an increase of government salaries. An
increase of the President’s salary to $100,0G0
has been strongly urged, and now the Wash
ington Repress, (Democrat,) advises the in
crease of the salaries of the heads of Depart
ments from S8,000 to at least $15,000 per an
num. The editor enters into a calculation of
house-keeping expenses in Washington to
show that a Cabinet Minister cannot live in
becoming style in that city, on the present
.salary. Setting down house rent at $3,000,
tha keeping of carriages and horses at
$1,500, and taxes and insurance at $500,
there is left for furniture, provisions, dress,
&c., only, a balance of $3,000, which, in
Washington, is not sufficient to pay for any
one of the items referred to. The editor in
sists that Congress should raise the Cabinet
salaries to $15,000, and asks if it is just or
fair to expect gentlemen whose talents at all
timeinqt; only command an amply adequate
• income, but enable-them to accumulate mon
ey-besides, to give their services to the pub
lic, and while giving them to run into debt ?
While we commiserate the sufferings of our
poorly paid Government officials, we at the
same time have a thought for the tax payers,
and until we hear of gentlemen refusing
Cabinet positions on tie ground that they
cannot afford to fill them for the pay and per
quisites, we are in favor of letting the sala
ries remain at the present figures.
There, is. an argument in favor of the in
crease of the salaries of the Government offi
cials, which in the purer days of the Republic
was not ^without force. Gen. Washington
favored liberal salaries to public servants in
order that they might be relieved from temp
tations to dishonesty, but in our time, when
official fraud and corruption is so prevalent—
when dishonesty is the rule and honesty the
exception—it would be a gigantic undertaking
on the part, of the people—second only to
the payment of the national debt—to pur
chase official integrity with adequate salaries.
In our day Of progress and enlightenment,
when a politician once attains to a high offi
cial position in Washington, he must be a
-rare exception indeed if he is ever after found
on the bankrupt list, (pecuniarily speaking),
no matter what is the amount of his salary.
In this connection the following document,
furnished by Tobias Lear, Private Secretary
of President Washington, to a Committee of
. Congress, and upon which it is presumed the
• :
present salary of the President was based,
will be perused with interest:

Bat Washington was only the President
of a new-born nation of Anglo-Saxon Republi
cans—of an honest, patriotic, simple-hearted
people who were inaugurating the great
principle of self-government, and whose
politico-philanthrophic ideas did not embrace
all the civilized and uncivilized world, and
. who had not undertaken to reverse the laws
of their Creator, and dictate law, religion and
social relations to the universe. He conld
subsist mid hold a state in the Capital, such
as suited the republican ideas of that day, on
a salary of $17,000 per annum, while his
cabinet advisers lived respectably and com
fortably on a less amount. And there were
ho Whiskey-Rings, Internal Revenue Rings,
Freedmen’s Bureaus, or Alaska purchase
frauds in those days.
Minister Washbubne’s Chaboes Against
President Lopez Contradicted.—Thepapers
for several days past have been filled with
accounts of outrages and barbarities perpe
trated by President Lopez, of Paraguay, on
foreigners and Consuls, based upon letters
-from Minister Washbhbke. Now we have a
telegraphic statement that letters from officers
of the Southern Squadron contradict these
absurd reports. It is a mortifying fact that
the practice of misrepresentation, to call it by
no harsher term, has become so thoroughly
incorporated with American politics and di
plomacy that even our own Government can
no longer rely upon the statements of its
official agents.
The- Sumter Republican.—This spirited
tri-weekly and weekly paper has recently
donned.a new dress, and is now one of the
handsomest, as it has long been _one of the
best, of our interior exchanges. The weekly
edition has been considerably enlarged, and
like the tri-weekly edition, is well filled with
instructive and entertaining matter. We con
gratulate our friend Hancock ou these evi
dences of his well-earned success.
, OCR MINISTERIAL TRIMMER.
Of all the politicians this country has ever
produced perhaps Mr. Revebdy. Johnson, our
present Minister to Great Britain, is the most
perfect “ Trimmer.” From our earliest re
collection of him, he has been distinguished
chiefly for his ability to adapt his principles
and action to the circumstances by which he
was surrounded. His life seems to have been
a study how, not only to be all things to all
men, but how to be all things to all parties—
anything to any body or any faction for the
sake of position. In the United States Sen
ate he was a Johnson conservative. In this
cliaracter he obtained the appointment as
Minister, but no sooner was the resnlt of the
Presidential election known than he became
a Gbant Radical. He was always a famous
diner-out, and great at after-dinner speeches,
and it would seem that os he grows older he
grows more gastronomic and gasseous, for
we have heard of his doing little else since
he arrived in England than making convivial
speeches, in which he has said many things
unbecoming a representative of a great Gov
ernment at the British Court. It was, perhaps,
excusable in a courtier like him, seekiug to
retain bis position, that he should proclaim
to the English people his conviction that
“the men of America would have been un
grateful if they had failed to place Gen.
Gbant in the Presidential chair;” but sensible
men will 5nA he carried his duplicity and
toadyism to an extreme,when he uttered such
assertions as the following:
“ The negro is capable of receiving educa
tion and becoming the equal of his white
master; ”—“ speaking from experience, I can
state my conviction that they were of an
average intelligence, judged with men of my
own color.” “ As well say a black horse or a
black sheep is not equal to a white horse or
white sheep.”
There are many people in Enrope and
America who will not be willing to credit our
Minister’s sincerity in these declarations;
while Exeter Hall will wonder why, if such
are his honest convictions, the world has
been kept in ignorance of the fact till now.
Even Wendell Phillips will be more amazed
than delighted at his sudden conversion to
the “man and brother ” doctrine.
THE MODEL BLACK REPUBLIC AND
SLAVERY.
A rebuke to the American abolitionists,
says the Richmond Whig, has come from the
last place on earth from which it was to have
been expected—from Africa. Not only from
Africa, bnt from Liberia, a Republic founded
as an asylum for emancipated slaves! It
appears, and upon no less authority than
that of ex-President Robebts, who is now in
this country soliciting aid for the Liberian
College, that the Republic of Liberia gives
its sanction to negro slavery, in this wise:
Numbering only eighteen thousand emigrant
negroes from America, it has made conquests
of the interior tribes, and thus augmented
its population to six hundred thousand, and
now permits and recognizes slavery among
those tribes. President Robebts admits that
the wealth of the interior chiefs, like that of
the ravage tribes, is measured by the number
of their wives and slaves.
This intelligence has sunk deep into the
humane heart of the New York Tribune.
That paper says: “ It is a singular and atro
cious fact.” It adds: “ Efficient steps should
be taken to rescue Liberia from this lapse
into a slaveholding province, and it will be
well for those who are solicited in the name
of freedom and humanity to contribute to a
Liberian College, to enquire whether the gra-
tuitions education of the sons of these slave
holding chiefs may not inure to the growth
of slavery, rather than of freedom.”
The Humors of Reconstruction.—James
P. Cowardin, Esq., a son of the pro
prietor of the Richmond Dispatch, having
had an excellent opportunity as reporter for
that paper in the Virginia Reconstruction
Convention to study the humors of recon
struction, improved the advantage thns ob
tained, and prepared a lecture on that sub
ject, with which he hus entertained the elite
of the principal Northern cities, to their edi
fication and his own profit. The lecture has
been received everywhere with roars of laugh
ter and shouts of applause, and is universally
acknowledged to be a masterpiece of wit and
drollery. The New York Herald thns speaks
of it:
As a delineator of negro character Mr.
Cowardin has few equals. In tracing the
humor of the late Virginia Convention he
abundantly showed that he had made the
subject a complete stndy. In tone, manner,
and language, bis personations were perfect.
Those familiaT with the negro character
keenly relished their fidelity, and those who
have only seen the negro as caricatured at
halls of Ethiopian minstrelsy found in his
imitative speeches far more food for merri
ment All his descriptions, the scenes in
the convention hall, in the galleries, and in
the vestibule, were os incontestibly rich as
they were life-like. It was an evening of
huge entertainment to the audience and
wmle entertaining, it also conveyed im in
structive moral—a moral opposed to negro
The Charleston News says Mr. Cowabdin
will deliver his lecture in that cify on Thurs
day evening next We sincerely hope that
he will not give Savannah the go by.
North Carolina.—According to the mes
sage of Governor Holden, just sent to the
Legislature, the debt of North Carolina, on
October 1st 1868, was $19,208,945, inclusive
of bonds issued for internal improvements,
amounting to nearly $400,000, The amount
of interest maturing on October 1st was $112,-
104, which has been paid in cash. The in
terest maturing during the present fiscal
year, ending September 30, 1869, will
amonnt to $1,032,396. The expenses of the
State Government during the present fiscal
year ore estimated at $375,230, which, added
to the interest falling dne, will leave $1,407,-
826 tobe provided for. To meet this the Treas
urer will have $50,034 84 on hand, leaving
the remainder to be raised by taxation. The
stocks and bonds held by the State amount
to $13,241,100.

The Tenure of Office Law.—A Washing
ton letter in the Baltimore Gazette says it is
manifest that the repeal of the “Tenure of
Office law” by this Congress (which passed it)
would entail upon that body lasting disgrace.
The Democratic members, “so far as heard
from,” if not voting against its repeal (which
they conld not probably well do npon prin
ciple), will refrain from meddling in the thing
at all, and permit their opponents, who fas
tened the iniquitous measure upon the present
Executive, sole and alone to expose their ne
farious party trick.
The Quincy Monitor.—We have' received
several numbers of a weekly paper with the
above title, the publication of which has re
cently been commenced in Quincy, Florida,
by Mr. Edward J. Judah, editor and proprie
tor. The monitor is neatly printed and ably
conducted, and merits the liberal patronage
of the pnblic in whose interest it is pub
lished. We wish its proprietor abundant
success.
Pox and Kettle.—He two scalawag papers
of the State, one in Augusta, the other in At
lanta, are abusing one another like pickpock
ets. The Augusta paper charges its Atlanta
confrere with “waiting to see which way the
cat will jump,” and rays “what the paper
lacks in principle it makes np in impndence.”
Impudence and falsehood is the staple of
both of them.

The Fall term of the Circuit Court for the
county of Columbia, Hon. T- T. Long, pre
siding, commenced on the 16th, and con
tinued through the week; but the business
of the term not havingbeen concluded, and
the Court for Hamilton county intervening,
Judge long has ordered an adjournment from
day to day until Monday, the 30th inst,
when he expects to clear the docket of all
unfinished matters. A large amount of busi
ness, both civil and criminal, was transacted.
There were, however, bnt four convictions,
all for larceny, two were white men, viz:
Amos J. Adams and Joseph A. J. Adams,
who were each sentenced to the Penitentiaiy
for three years; and the other two were ne
groes, who were sent for one year each to the
same retreat, from the cares and temptations
of life. There was a large attendance during
the entire week, yet not a single disturbance
occurred.
The weather has been very cool for several
days. The first killing frost fell on night be
fore last, and this morning at daylight there
was a thin ice in small vessels of water, bnt
none conld be seen after sunrise.
The farmers are now engaged in making
sugar, planting sugar-cane, etc.

Latest
Phase of tlae Lopez-Washburn
Business.
Mr. Washburn, the American Minister at
Buenos Ayres, has got his deserts, and his
degradation is complete. Benitze, who, as
Minister of Foreign Affairs for Lopez con
ducted the correspondence with Mr. Wash
burn, has himself been arreBted as a traitor,
and Senor Cabiunos is appointed to his office.
This gentleman, acting npon the old maxim
that a new broom sweeps clean, has given
Mr. Washbubn a taste of his qnalify in a
long-winded and very “high and mighty”
letter:
He accuses him of complicity with the en
emies of his government and the “holy.na
tional cause,” and hints that if Lopez visited
the American Minister with the punishment
he deserved, he also would be sent to prison
in irons, and pnt to the rack. But he adds,
with the most condescending magnanimity,
“My government, ever solicitous to give un
equivocal proofs of its high consideration and
esteem for the great American Republic, lim
its itself to sending yon your passports, and
requesting you to leave the country." He
then tells Mr. Washburn that a steamer will
be at bis disposal any hoar he pleases, “after
to-morrow,” to convey him on board the gun
boat Wasp. He adds as a sort of postscript,
that he cannot give passports to Bliss and
Masterman, hut that “ they must abide by
the decrees of justice.” Mr. Bliss writes to
the Rev. Mr. Goodfellow from Asuncion,
September 7, a letter, in which he rays he is
arrested and found guilty on a charge . of hp-
ing sworn to assassinate Lopez, all the .'testi
mony being of course forged, although he is
ignorant of what it is or who are his accusers
That Mr. Washburn should jioeket the in
sult of being sent about his business, and ray
nothing about it, is of a piece with the whole
of his conduct in these disgraceful transac
tions. Nor are we surprised that he should
degrade himself by accepting the offer of
Lopez’s steamer to convey him on board the
Wasp, instead of getting there as he other
wise conld, and then calling upon the .fleet to
avenge the outrage upon the national honor.
But that, having had time to think upon the
magnitude of the crime committed by Lopez
in dragging from his side—his “protection,”
as he called it—two such men m Bliss and
Masterman, both of . them American citizens,
he should deliberately abandon them to the
cruelties of a tyrant who never knew what
justice or mercy was, exceeds all belief.
According to a correspondent of the Le
vant Herald, a most remarkable discovery of
antiquities has recently been made near the
village of Daly, the ancient 'ldalium, : on the
island of Cyprus. To the energy of the
American consol at Larnacais chiefly due thp
success of the investigations and excavations
in and around the rains of the Temple of
Yenus, one of the richest and most renowned
in ancient times. A number of Phoenician
and Grecian tombs were found and opened,
from which quantities of golden, silver and
bronze medals, ornaments and utensils, as
well as precious stones, marble statuettes,
and terra-cotta cases were exhumed.
The Radicals must have their Two-Thieds
Majority.—The New York Nation thinks it
•‘very probable that in the House of Repre
sentatives of the Forty-first Congress the Re-
pnblicpns may, after all, have a two-thirds
majority,” and proceeds to justify this proba
bility by the statement that it imagines theTe
are several of the new Democratic members-
elect “ who will certainly not keep their seats
till the middle of the session.” Expulsion—
utterly partisan, unlawful, and shameless ex
pulsion—is to do the work. And then, with
this misbegotten two-thirds, let General
Gbant assert-mederate tendencies if he dare.

lowing card of the proprietor, we are gratified
to learn that the suspension of this able and
influential journal is only temporary, and that
its publication will soon be resumed:

trol have caused the suspension of the

A Good Smoke is a Perpetual Comfort.
LORILLARD’S
“tacit v nunc in
Competent critics pronounce it best for many reasons.
It is made of the best stock grown.
The Nicotine is extracted, there are
No drugs in it, consequently it is
Anti-nervous in its effects.
It has an agreeable, aromatic flavor.
Does not bum or sting the tongue,
Leaves no unpleasant aftertaste in the
Mouth, or disagreeable odor in the room.
Instead of exciting the nervous forces.
It allays irritation, and calm3 them.
We regard it as the perfection of
Smoking Tobacco. Orders for elegant
Meerschaum Pipes are being packed daily
In the various sized bags in whish it i3 sold.
As an extra inducement for those
Who love a good smoke to try it.
LORILLARD’S
<< EUREKA” Smoking’ Tobacco
Is likewise an excellent article of choice Virginia
Tobacco, of a heavier body than the former.
And hence much cheaper in price; nevertheless
It makes an excellent smoke. Orders for
Meerschaum Pipes daily packed in tM -> l
LORILLARD’S
“CENTURY” Chewing Tobacco
Composed of the best cutting Leaf in the country.
Superior in color, finer in quality, and rr,.t,o. a
Better Chew than other brands. Acknowledged
The Leading Fine Cut Tobacco wherever used.
Respectable jobbers and dealers in all sections
Keep it, and small buyers can save money.
Time and trouble-by purchasing of them.
LORILLARD’S MACCOBOY, FRENCH RAPPEE
and SCOTCH SNUFFS still retain the excellent qotl.
itiea which have made them so famous everywhere.
