Shober, our General Traveling Agent for South Western Georgia and Florida, is now on a tour through those sec tions, and is authorized to receive and re ceipt for subscriptions to the SAVANNAH .MORNING NEWS, TRI-WEEKLY MORN ING NEWS, and THE SAVANNAH WEEK LY NEWS, and also to solicit orders for printing of every description. THANKSGIVING. This day having been indicated by the President of the United States, and by His Honor, the Mayor, to be observed as a day of Thanksgiving to the Supreme Ruler for the many blessings vouchsafed to us during \Jiie year now drawing to a close, the usual religious services on such occasions will be held by the congregations of the respective Churches of the city. In compliance with time honored usage, and in order that all connected with the Morning News establish ment, may unite in the observances of the day and participate in the recreations and festivities which custom has associated with it, ho paper will be issued from this office to morrow. 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: An estimate of the expenses incurred by the President ■» (Washington) of the United State* from, April 15th to ^ July 15th, furnished by Mr. Lear. % £ s. d.

House Coni 8table RECAPITULATION. $2,379 50 808 50 468 00 $3,656 00 for eleven weeks would amount to $17,218 per an- Noze.—House rent, furniture, Ac., are not included in the foregoing estimate of house expenses; and it should also be observed that the article of firewood will, in winter, amount to a heavy sum, which is not here noticed. 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. > » m ■ < 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. mam OtIR FLORIDA CORRESPONDENT£• Lake Cot, Fla., Nov. 21st, 1868. Editors Morning Neics: 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. Yours, A. THE PARAGUAYAN MUDDLE. 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. The Charleston Mercury.—From the fol 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: A Card.—Circumstances beyond my con trol have caused the suspension of the Charleston’ Mercury. Bnt the public should not be led to the conclusion that the paper is extinct. Measures ere afoot for issuing it again on a substantial basis; and it is ex pected to put it forth in a style that will sat isfy every requirement of a first class South ern newspaper. R. B.
