DALLAS. SATURDAY NOV. 15.
THE SALAHY-CltAIJ AND THIS
NEXT CONG H ESS.
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.
