Comments by The IVibune,
There is much weight in some of the con
siderations adduced by the Times, and wa are
newise disposed to belittle them. We admit
that $100,000 per annnnt now would not bo a
higher salary tor onr President in 1801) than
$25,000 was during Washington's administra
tion, when our total population was but
4,000,000, the demands of the station far less,
and the purchasing power of money maoh
greater than at present. In short, ' we eon
cede, to save time, most of the Times' pre
mises. Now hear the other side:
The United States owe a gigantio National
Debt. The sum of $2,500,000,000, whioh is
palpable to all, is supplemented by a pension
fist of $25,000,000 per annum, by bounties
and claims yet to be adjusted, by annuities to
Indiana, eto. etc. We ought to pay not less
than $200,000,000 per annum to meet the
annual interest and reduue the principal of
our debt; while it is not possible to run the
Government at a oost (including pensions) of
less than $100,000,000 more; making $300,
000,000 in all, whereof nearly half must be
raised by internal taxes. Our choice would be
to raise $400,000,000 per annum, and pay off
the labt fraction of the debt within the next
twenty years or less; but we have not been
able to make members of Congress regard the
matter as we do. Yet we should fearlessly
appeal to the people, if a clear issue could be
made, in the confident hope that they would
vote to be taxed enough to pay off, with fru
gal management, at least $100,000,000 of the
principal of the debt per aunum.
Now, such payment, or any payment at all
in reduction of the principal of the debt, in
volves stringent taxation. We ask the people
to bear such taxation, in order to save their
grandchildren from the burden of a huge
debt. They cheerfully respond to the appeal.
But let them see that their heavy taxes do not
insure a reduction of the debt that the money
is used np in higher salaries, larger allow
ances, eto., eto. aud their shoulders will ache
and they become restless under the burden.
The Times, we do not forget, proposes that
the President's salary alone shall be increased.
But that would prove neither just nor practi
cable. If the President is to have $100,000
per annum, the Heads of Departments should
have not less than $20,000 each: Lay, they
should have $30,000. Your Secretary of State
must sink into a mere clerk if the President is
to give sumptuous weekly dinners, while he
must be content with a monthly dole of diplo
matic bread and cheese. Bo, measurably.'with
the rest. To give the President $100,000 and
leave his Cabinet omoers to vegetate on $8000,
' would create more iDjustioe and heatt-burning
than it would cure, uur diplomatic salaries,
also, would nave to be increased.
We are among those who believe that a very
considerable reduction of salaries, emoluments,
and allowances is practicable and desirable. We
hold that the cost of collecting our revenue,
for instance, is greater than it need or should
be. We may not be able to point precisely
to the leaks which should be stopped; but we
expect much, though we have promised little,
from General Grant's administration in the
way of retrenchment and reform. But sup
pose we begin by quadrupling the President's
salary, will not the demand for retrenchment
be paralyzed? Will not every subordinate
feel and say that it is mean to pare down his
$200 or $;00 per mouth, while we put up the
President's allowance from $.'5,000 to $100,000.
per anrum r
Tbe President is poorly paid. We would
gladly see him more liberally dealt with
There is oue, and but one, way in which this
can be doue without paralyzing the effort
which should be earnestly made to retrench
the eost of running the Government. That

SnfTrase aud tlie States.
From the N. T. Time.
The Fourteenth amendment, as General
Kawlina in his Galena speech remarked
"places the all-important question of oitiaeuv
ship be von a the caprice ol btates or the vary
lng decisions oi courts, ana corrects gross
miscononptions regarding tue rignti of oiti
gens." By this new provision of the Const!
tution citizenship is nationalized, in a more
comprehensive sens than previously pre
railed; tbe States being now for the first time
forbidden to "make or enforce any law whioh
shall abridge the privileges or immunities of
citizens."
Prom the operation of this amendment suf
frage is exempted. Tue States may continue
to impose other than penal disfranchisement
upon citizens, but at the cost of a proportion
ate reduction in the basis of representation.
Arbitrary disfranchisement, resting on race or
oolor, is thus made politically nnprotitable to
the States enautiug it. Aside from the pay
ment of this penalty, the States retain full
control over tbe conditions of voting within
their boundaries. If any farther change is
made allectiug it, they, or three-fourths of
them, must give their consent, as it cau ouly
be done by amending the Constitution.
Shall consent be sought, then, to au amend
ment nationalizing suffrage on an ltnpartUl
bbU f Shall the States be asked to surrender
.their exclusive authority over the subject, to
abandon coullicting regulations in regard to it,
and to become parties to a constitutional mea
sure vesting the whole, absolutely, in Cou
greffl? The que-tiou Is oue whioh the oountry
will soon be called to consider. The fact that
J comes up only in this ebp ial'd'ej a de
cided gain on the part of mora moderate Rt- I
publicans. The right of .Congress, by a mere 1
legislative act, to establish uniformity of suf
frage throughout the union Das, until re
cently, been affirmed by thosa who demanded
its exercise in behalf of colored citizens every
where. That this pretension is now taoitly
surrendered, and that those who urged it join
in tbe proposition to seek tha end desired by
an amendment to the Constitution, is a olr
cumstanoa that augurs well for the final settle
ment of the subject. At least, it proves that
a vexatious agitation is to be avoided, and
that the propriety of providing for the relin
quirhment of a cherished States' right, aud its
transfer to the National Government, is a mat
ter to be discussed on its merits, and to be
tffected, if at all, in the constitutional way.
Nationality of suffrage would seem to be the
logical corollary of nationalized citizenship. If
the citizen of one State is, under the Constitu
tion, a citizen of all the States, should not his
relation to the franchise be everywhere the
same ? If be is eligible to vote in South Caro
lina, ought he not also to be eligible subjeot
to be qualifications as to duration of residence
in New Yoikf And if in New York, why
not in Missouri? To declare otherwise is
practically to curtail citizenship, and to allow
States to raise obstacles to the harmonious
woiking of the principle implied in the 11 ret
section of the Fourteenth amendment. Yet this
discrepancy does now exist. There are mauy
thousands of citizens voting in South Caroliua
who would be disfranchised by the law of New
York; and thousands in New York who, living
in Missouri, would by a local statute be de
prived of the franchise. If for no other pur
pose than to establish uniformity as to tha
conditions of voting, much may ba said in be
half of Congressional action which shall briug
the question under the consideration of tha
State Legislatures.
Jiut there Is a question of right which must
come up in the same conneetion. The nation
has thrown the gates of citizenship wide open
to the colored race. It has, in effect, declared
that distinctions based on oolor, in their opera
tions affecting political rights and privileges,
areupjustand inexpedient. On this ground
it has forced negro suffrage on the South; and
in at least ten of the Southern States those
who most loudly protested against it iu the
first instance now announce their acceptance
of it and their readiness to work under it.
If the Deinoorats of Georgia and South Caro
lina are not afraid of enfranchised colored
citizens, though they are there politically
powerful, can .Northern Kepublicans obleot to
their enfranchisement in States where they
form but a fraotion of the population? Their
citizenship being conceded, is it proper to
brand them as uufit to vote solely because of
the color of their f-kiu ? An 1 if it is Lutu safe
and desirable to blot out the distinction ori
ginating in slavery and maintained by an
irrational prejudice, does not a constitutional
amendment afford the best means of aooom
plisbing the object ?
A liberal policy dictates tne change iu tue
interest of disfranchised whites as well as of
disfranchised blacks. In the reconstructed
States the number of the former is inconsider
able, and even these are limited to one or two
of the States recently restored. Bat in Mis
souri and Tennessee the class is very large.
By transferring the suffrage question from the
States to the General Government, therefore,
irritating remnants of the Rebellion may be
removed, and the foundations of representa
tive power laid as broadly as the most exact
ing demands of justice could require. The
Republican party is pledged to this policy, so
tar as It applies to disabilities imposed on
whites on account of the Rebellion, and the
propriety of carrying It out without unneces
tary delay is a question that cnust escape
the attention of Congress. This particular
form of disability, however, cau be reached
oply by the proposed amendment of tha Con
stitution, which may thus commend itself to
the. friendly attention of the Legislatures, both

(jlcucrnl Grant's Election Tho Prospect
lor wie icieaiea ueiuocracy..
From the!?. Y. Herald.
In tha election of General Grant the Demo
cratic party has suffered a heavy defeat. In
the Ootober elections they fought with tha
resolution, activity, and tenacity of General
Lee in his efforts to hold intact his lines
around Petersburg; but after the loss of Penn
sylvania and Indiana the Ueraocrauo rank and
file, like Lee when driven from his entreneh
ments, seemed only intent npon saving their
shattered columns from annihilation. The
managers of the Tammany Seymour and Blair
Convention bad presumed too much upon the
apparent political reaotion of lobv, as in
1863-64 they presumed too much upon the
popular manifestations of 1862. In each case,
in falling back upon the extreme Copperhead
ideis that the war was a failure, and that tha
"Union as it was" must be reestablished, the
Demociacy undertook the hopeless battle of
the Bourbons.
Where are they now ? From their decisive
defeat, and from all the ciroumstances of their
position, they will be compelled to east about
for a new line of departure aud a reorgamza
tion, not upon the dead issues of the past, but
upon the living issues of the present time
Their fatal mistake in the late cauvass was
that they made it the fight of the ex-Rebels of
tbe South against the reconstruction laws of
Congress. The JNortheru Uemooratio mana
gers in this were too fast iu submitting to the
demands of the Southern delegates ot the uou
vention, most of whom had been among the
leaders of the "lest cause." Thuj, iu the
Tammany platform the declaration that the
reconstruction laws of Congress were 'uncon
stitutional, revolutionary, null aud void," we
had, only in other word-", the repetition of the
Chicago platform of lsbi, that the war was a
failure, and that we must have peace upon
any terms acceptable to the ex-Confederate
party of tbe South. In the face of this bold
and revolutionary issue all the outrageous
doings for the last four years of a radical Con
gress, and all the vast schedule of corruptions,
blunders, frauds, wastages, aud profligate ex
penditures of the party in power were eclipsed
and became secondary questions in the cam
paign. Iu a word, the Tammany Convention
took the very ground desired Jay the Kepub
Brans, and the result is the overwhelmiug
eleotion of Grant aud Colfax and another Re
publican Congress of more than two-thirds in
the Senate and within a dozen changes or so
oi a two-thirds vote in the House.
We may safely assume, then, that tha
Southern reconstruction system adopted by
Congress, subject to the Constitutional
amendment, article fourteen, will stand. Geue
ral Grant, in his famous oorrespondenoe of last
February with President Johnson, which broke
the note of Chase as tbe radical favorite, has,
on the War Department Imbroglio, left upon
record his position upon reconstruction, lie
will, President, reooguize the existing laws,
and whatever modifications ha may recom
mend in reference to tha unreconstructed
States will doubtless rest upon the Constitu
tional amendment aforesaid. That amend
ment, among other things, proclaims all per
sons born or naturalized in tha United States
citizens thereof and of the States in whioh they
reside on a footing of olvil equality; that suf
frage and representation shall go together, as
each State for itself may choose; that oartatn
artles guilty of rebellion against the United
for office, subject to a two-thirds vote of each
bouse of Congress; and that Congress shall
have power by appropriate legislation to en
force the provisions of this article. Thus lu
tha reconstructed as well as in thennreoia
st r no ted Southern States, and lu New York as
well as in South Carolina or Texas, Congress
has the power to enforoe this amendment;
and wa dara say that in tha interval to tha 4th
of March next a law will be passed for carry
ing into effect throughout the United States
the provisions of said amendment.
coma new amendment has been hinted at
embracing a uniform universal 'manhood suf
frage; but meanwhile the auiendmeut officially
proclaimed, we may assume, will be carried
into effect. In this view tho question of re
construction may be considered as settled,
however unpalatable to the extreme radicals
may be the provision of this amendment four
teen, which gives to each State tha discretion
of a universal or restricted snlirage, subject
oily with a restriction of the ballot to a cor
responding restriction in counting the people
for representation in Congress and in the Pre
sidential Electoral College. What, then, be
comes the future programme of the Democra
tic party ? Not a useless war against amend
ment fourteen, under which they may very
soon recover all the Southern States, but a
recognition of fixed facts and a new departure
against the financial blunders and excesses of
the dominant party, and in favor of a positive
and olearly defined system of retrenchment
and reform.
This will do for the present; but under tha
inooming administration new issues will cer
tainly spring up, which iu their Rotation may
aHoid a fine opportunity to the Democrats to
cut in between the contending Republican
factions and carry off the balance of power.
At all events, the first important necessity de
volving upon the Democratic leaders is the
abandonment of the dead issues, and a recog
nition of this fixed fact, that the "Constitution
as it was," "the Union as it was," and State
sovereignty as it was, are among tha wrecks
of tbe deluge.

They voted. Yts they did. And they have
told of it. They have sent the canvass to the
newspapers, aud want to be counted in. Put
'em in. 1 hey 11 do for a certain kind of political
arithmetic. They go to swell the aggregate
when a fellow wants to get up biz figures. It
i3 no worse than to first count the whole adult
white male population of a State, aud then
assume that one-half are disfranchised, and
alter counting them in once as a part of the
whole, then add them in again uuder a dis
tinct head. In this way a State which has in
all only 200,000 adult white males can easily
be shown to have 300,000 of the same class
who ought to vote. This kind of political
arithmetic is of all things conceivable the
most charming. It is fully worthy of the
imaginative gentleman who wrote up the

bike bread, etc, while they go out on to the
streets and into the shops, talking politics,
and advocating woman emancipation. They
say nifgers vote, and why shouldn't they ?
The poor deluded dears I don't they think
thtinseives any better than niggers? Must
they do things because niggers do them ? We
are afraid they haven't well considered the
bearing of this question. They might do things
which would "be very shocking. We fear they
would b come dreadfully filthy and vile, if
they were to follow out this argument to its
logical result.
But, seriously, what an unwomanly feeling
this is, which prompts our female humans to
aspire to positions which God and nature
never intended them to oooupy never fitted
them for. Those who thus step out of their
appropriate sphere are exceptionable, ill-organized
beings, at war with the God that
made them, and striving to trample on His
laws, as revealed in His holy word aud
stamped upon their mental, physical, aud
moral organizations. Tha trouble with these
few restless spirits is, that they want to be
mn. But they can't be. They are women.
God made them so, and thus they have got
to remain to tha end of their days. Then let
them ba content to be women. If they will
get rid of this monomania and become true
women, they can, in a good, virtuous, legiti
mate way, become the mothers of men, and
mould their character, and In that way influ
ence and gnide society to a far greater and
more beneficial extent than by unsexing them
selves and pitching into politics. A nice
thing it would ba to see our wives and daugh
ters on the stump, wrangling on politics in
public places, electioneering in a hot cauvass,
aud yelling and squalling and pulling and
hauling at tha polls on election day.
This morbid desire to do in tociety and iu
publio affairs all that men do, shows that
these misguided women do not reooguize any
distinction between the duties and spheres of
men and women. Confound and destroy this
distinction, and society would lose its chief
charm, domeBtio life its order, harmony, and
happiness, and the cause of morals receive tha
severest blow ever yet inflicted upon it.
Where would this kind of thing end, if
encouraged and made to prevail ? There are
dinerent classes of duties in life, to one of
which man is adapted, and to the other
woman. They cannot change places withoat
the whole order of society being broken up.
They cannot mix np and perform those duties
indiscriminately and promiscuously, without
producing great disorder and bringing on fear
ful evils.
The kind of spirit manifested by these
women will in tha end lead them to
regard it as degrading, and unworthy of such
bright ethereal beings, to wear woman's
erown as wives and mothers. Good graoious 1
Won't we be in a bad fix when it comes to
that? Hold on, now, this won't do. This
kind of thing must be stopped. The good old
mothers oi Israel used to regard it as a bless
ing, and tha highest glory of their lex, to be
come tha mothers of men. And, remember,
tue --jewels oi tue iamous uoinan moiuer,
"the mother of tbe Graoohl." Tut I tut I
Let's hear no more of this. Be women. Be
good.
What do these people want ? Are they not
treated with all the respect that mortal could
wish ? Are they not tha objects of chivalrous
courtesy f Art they not loved and cherished
in the domeBtio circle, and cared for with tha
utmost tenderness ? Does not man toil and
struggle for them far mora than for himself?
Are not the laws just and liberal toward them,
and is not every amelioration granted that is
nteded for their protection? What mora
would they have if they be just-minded, true
women ?
That they are not satisfied with all this
shows that they are mlsoreatloni that they
are Yearning for a masouliuity which nature
Las denied them. They are euoouraged in it
by a set of crazy theorizers and morbid senti
mentalists, who are destitute of common sense,
and whose minds are inoapable of maklug
just discriminations. We suspect that when
these people get exhausted upon the negro
question, they will g in strong on tha
women. Tha current seems to be turning iu
that direction. Tue Jacobin pulpit is ready to
give the thing a lilt. That fellow who, the
Sunday before election, pretended that he
was abont his "Father's butiuesB," in preach
ing politics, and trying to put breeches on
to women, has set the movement on foot.
This question will soon be in politics. The
Jacobins are preparing for it. It is the Jacobin
wonitn who are going Into it. We have
no fear of its spreading among Democratic
women, or that many deoent women of any
class will become iufected by it. But those
Vineland women have got it bad. Just look
at the vote If 2 in all 4 lemooratio, 188
Republican. The woman that reports tha
result is very careful to state that four colored
women voted "all for Grant." That's right,
and we are glad that so mauy of the rest of
these foolish women voted "for Grant." We
would not have it otherwise for one of the
World's political tables.
To be sure, they did not vote at tht men's
pell, and their votes were not embraced in tha
legal canvass. But no matter. They voted.
And they voted in the same rooms where tha
men did. Don't they think it was very
womanly ? Of course they do, for they have
told all about it in the newspapers. Poor
deluded creatures, much we pity you.
The Little Came.
From the T. X. World.
The latest phase of tha little game is to
keep the two-thirds. As matters now stand
the radicals are soma ten or twelve short of
a two-thirds in the Forty-first Congress.
To do away with this overplus of Democrats
aud thereby put the ring in Grant's nose,
should the General prove restive, is a prime
object, and this is the way they mean to do it.
Imprimis, the word has gone out from Wash
ington and waked into galvanic life a certain
select decoction, five in number, of that
learned body that, from the antecedents of its
membership, was known as the Mississippi
Chain-gang Convention. ibis decoction,
styled committee, has all of a sudden dis
covered that the negro constitution was not,
after all, defeated in Mississippi by 76" 2D votes,
as officially reported by the district commander,
but seven strong anti-constitution counties
being thrown out was carried. Where
fore the said quintriple crew, in a rescript
dated the third of this month, announce that
the affair has been "duly ratified and adopted,"
and divers carpet-bag and negro gentry eleoted
as State officers and to Congress. These latter
resurrections being - five in number, it follows
that, on the adoption of this manifesto by
Congress, as it will be adopted, the trooly loil
will add at one fell blow five brand-new
carpet-bag votes to their depleted ranks. Fur
ther than this, it has been ascertained, as a
Washington special to tha foU is good enough
to tell us, that there was such "Kebel terror
ism" in Louisiana as kept the loil negroes, who
made bread and meat for the Confederate armies
when they could not have been forced so to
do, from the polls. This means, ot course,
that a sufficient number of affidavits at $
apiece have been prepared to make a good
basis for casting out the five Louisiana Demo
cratic Congressmen elect, whereby it but re
mains for the loil to oust two, or, at mo3t,
three more Democrats to get their two-thirds.
This is soon done, as it is now being "ascer
tained" that in Georgia there was also a ter
rorism which lost the State to Grant. This
done, out go seven Georgia Democrats, and
voilA ! tha two-thirds. Then let Let-us-have-peace
wag his head Johnsonizingly at us if he
dare, and we, unto whom is given tha fulness
of tha earth, not forgetting the two-thirds,
will show him on which side of the hedge
shines the sun. What a little gama it is, to
ba sure.
