THE EVENING POST. wiL&iiyoToir, y. c. Thursday, Maroh 13th, 1873. The editorial correspondence, de scriptive of Washington Incident! after' the inaugural ceremonies, was unac countably delayed until too laU for publication. Concerning Con tr acta. It is sometimes amusin to see the straits to which disco-tented , office seekers and other diiappointed search ers of gain, are sometime pat to, to find fault with some public man. Of course tbe President cornea in for the heaviest share, and the howl oyer every act of his life, is as astounding as tbe tortuous twisting of simple events is disgusting. No man shows a greater ingenuity in this respect than tbe editor of tbe New York who seems to have de voted bis life to false charge and growling abuse of the President.. -As soon as oue charge has been circulated, denied and utterly exploded, the Swi starts off on another report, and atter putting its power of invention to a very evere test, tbe bantling is forced out with such a show that some people actually believe it. In Monday's issue of that very delect able and highly sensational sheet, we find tbe leading article to be a criticism on President Grant, for approving the bill which increased bis salary. Tbe Sun claims that when tbe President was elected to office last November, that he then entered into a contract with the people o perform the daties for $35,000 pir annum, and that by accepting more be was violating his contract 1 Now we are of those who believe in a atrict ad herence to the aacredneia of a contract. We have often spoken on that point, and do not care at this time to elaborate it, as tbe question that first arista is, where is the contract. If the President's election is to be considered in the light of a contract, it naturally fallows ttat its terms are prescribed by law, and are to b regulattd accordingly, s that if the laws unJer which the Preideut ' was elected prescribe a method for the adjustment of bis compensation, it fol lows that they can bo changed, higher or lower, without bis consent. No one . . . 1 rwCW tt in aouuts me auiuumy v-uutt.- -reasetbe salary of the President, if -ao disposed, but we believe .U cannot lie changed during thecontinuance or term of tbe holder. At any rate it canndt be lowered. Now if the laws permit the. lalary to be changed, and a man is elected to bold the office, does he not agree to conform to tbe laws and rules regulating it 1 We think he does, and it was on those terms that he was elected. There is another phase of tbe ques tion, however, which 'seems to have escaped the attention of the grumbling editor, and that is, that Grant was not the President for the term to which the salary applied at the time of sigeiig the act. Although be bad been elected, he had no more authority in the premises than though aome other man hard been chosen for that position, and the ap proval or disapproval of the act in question became-hia duty aa Preiident of the United States On the 4th icst., Gen. Grant was inaugurated and be came the President of the UmUd St&tea for bis second term, and under tbe new law, is t receive the salary of $50,000 pr annum. This has no more connec tion with his past term of office, than if another individual bad been chosen for that terra, and having taken the oath nf office, is now carrying out that contract. He bad not "signed articles" until tbe day of bis inauguration, and now, beipg under coutraot, he will be expected to ptrform his portion, and tJie country will do likewise. Wilmington Trust Company and Sarin jra Bank. We publish tbe proceeding of a meet ing held last night by the Corporator of the institution whose name beads thiarticle. The directors chosen were Ellis N. ilartio, E. E. Borrussy Donald UcIUe, Edward Kidder and George Cbadooum. Mr. Martin was elected The capital fixed for the present ia $100,600, all ot which is secured. It iay tj considered best to increase the amount ot capital, in which case, many who desire to participate in the. enter- prise may have an opportunity.

How often in writing, do we address some one as -dftir io ind aolV-hereby degrading 'the title the heart involuntariry bestows V , i l upon its nearest ana Desi pe ovea ones, until it has bee me so common that many persons consider it a form of ad dress which, politeness, "absolutely rr quires, and which may mean anything or nothing, according to circumstances. This lackut sincerity & manifest more, perhaps, among women in their daily, intercourse with one another than among men. Their greetings upon corners and in street cars sometimes furnish an in different spectator food for mirtb, and. If ot a cynical deposition, grounds for somewhat-of contempt.. The lips jrbich five minutes previous were moving to and fro in free criticism of Mrs. Brown, or Jones, or R binsob, wreathe- them selves into sweet smiles on tbs appear-, ance of either or all of the ladies in question, and only too often ire pre sente in the form of an apparently affectionate kiss, thereby reminding us of holy writ, for Judas, if we mistake not, was also given to kissing; although in these latter days, now that men have renounced the custom among themselves it seems hard thai women should take ltup.-r In our social intercourse the chance v'sitor I" as became so accustomed to tbe conventional "I am to glad to see you," that the phrase is no longer satis factory evidence that we are welcome. Even if disinclined to see ns, our hostess, instead of sending word that she is en gaged or indisposed, will, in nine cases out of ten, loll back in her easy chair with an unblushing assurance that she is 'not at home," and tb servant tran9 mits the message, and society consider the falsehood anactot courtesy, and the lady who was guilty of it a -pink of piiten8S." There' are some of us who inwardly rebel against such civil incivility ; who act our part, if it comes within our line of duty so to act, with an inward pro test and an earnest prayer that in some future state we may- find ourselves among a people who say what they thin and mean what threy say. There is another formof cant which Is in a degree less objectionable 'than the above, because there may be a par tide of self-delusion to make tbe false ness less deliberate: The Old iorm in which the "pot'calls the kettle black the habit of denouncing some certain custom or folly to " which eare by nature averse while we cling to others which are just as, evil in themselves, although we do not perceive it.
