We understand that sotue forty or fifty members of tho next Congress will go to Washington this winter with as.many. difiercnt bills in their, pockets fflrar repeal of that portioQ.of the sala ry trill ot last session woich increased the Congressional pay and provided for the bac pay-. In other words, there appears, tq, be a scramble among a If rga .porJLbn of the politicians for pn qrity ip. appeasing the wrath of an ged people without removing the cjbicf scandal and original design of the salarygrab, which was to double the salary. of thcj President, Back pay was merely, thrown to the retiring members,- as Congressman Willurd shows, to secure their co-operation. iThey-can t be damaged any further. The purpose of the fony or fifty Qougressmen who carry in their pock ets tjj& forty or fifty plans for modifying the.aalary -teal is not very exalted at the best; but evan such as it is, it is to behopedsthat they will not get into such hopeless confusion in their rush for tho first, honors that they will upset each "other, and prevent the repea altogether. There is shortly to be a caucus of the Republican side of Con gress. It is reported that Geo. Butler will take grouad in favor ot excluding all the Credit Mobilier Congressmen from prominent plac63 in the organiza tion of the House and its committees. In that case, it is more than likely that some Credit Mobilier. Congressman will retort with the proposal to exclude all the salary-grabbers. As these two classes compose a large majority of the Republican caucus, it will probably get into an intei ciiuable wfangla of criminations and? recriminations. Iu this case, it is fto be feared that the forty or fifty bills now in the pockets of the forty or fifty ambitious reformers will be forgotten. i There is only one way in which the next Congress can dispose of the sala ry question-to' the satisfaction of their constituent:;, and thia ut to repeal the whole law, including thej increase of the President's salary. If the objection be made that it is uncon.stitutioaal to diminish the President's salary "dur ing the period for which he was elect ed," we answer that it was unlawful to ipcrease the Presidents salary 4during the period (or which he was elected," The Forty-second Congress increased the salary unlawfully, as wo maintain, bnt there is now no one to test the question. If the . Forty-third Con. gress shall repeal the act , the Presi dent will apply to the Courts to ascertain whether such repeal is lawful or rjQt. ' If the Courts decide that it was. -cpnstitutiooal to. double the President's pay during period ior which he had been elected (General Grant having been elected for both his first and, second terms before the increase,) .but unconstitutional to reduce ,itj during the same period to what it was before the increase, then and not till then, will he be entitled in Ujq estimation of the people to draw his 8100,000 thousand dollars addition compensation. It is probable that Mr. Roderick R. Butler, of Tencssee, will make a pathetic appeal to leave th President's salary vhere it is, on the ground that he, will be reduced .to beggary if ho ha only $25,000 a year. We have a notion, however, tat this ippeal to the sentiment of humanity Will not be so potent in deterring the ambitious CongTessionaL reformers from reducing his pay as the danger 6f seeing their friends remove from Qffice. Gen. Grant holds the whip, and has '.een known. to nse It freely in ca ses oftthis kind.h Hence the disincli nation to meddle with the Presidential pay except in the way of a rise. We give warning that no half-way tinkering of the salary-steal will satisfy, the people. Any gentlemen who ex pect to make personal capital rut of propositions fyjr compromise will inee with disastrous i failure. The action on the salary-grab will be the hinge on which the other legislation of the ses sion will turn. If Congress shall at the outset make a clean sweep of the I0O3t glaring ioiquity of the last session, it Will bean evidence that DubUo Oi.in. ion has not yet lost its power in tho . , . . . . I Bd. IJW'll be notice to j bbbg Congressmen and lobby thieves that they will get themselves iuto trouble it they attempt to nut their hands in the Treaqurv in the pr sent corvi ion of the. public, mind. But if the Forty -third Con gress shall temporize with the salary question, lock out ! " It will be an announcement to the lobby that ttey are prepared to defy pullic opinion. Then Northern Pacific will murch, its column boldly to the front, and probably carry the citadel by storm. Therein no surplus money in the Treasury, but the Northern Pacific bankrupts will be satisfied with Government bonds. After them will come the formidable array of bankers, headed by Henry Clews, vl0 hold Southern State bonds and want the Government to guarantee them, and . close behind will come Commodore Vaodcrbilt, wanting the Government to buy out a telegraph company. They will be supported by the whole gai'g of carpet-baggers. Then the cotton claim, the Agricultu ral College swindle, tho James river Canal. and a host of lesser schemes for subsidy will knock a the door and claruur for money. The next Congress will be beset with temptations, and it will probably staud or fall according to its action in regard to the salary-grab. Chicago Tribune.
