Friday Morning. Beoomber 33,1874. I ft .1, I ? II' ., Ii j < DlalBtelMSrd, Very. After pointing out the objectionable I features pf . th? Appropriation Act to P?y salary Of members and employees tliot the 'Legislature, the. Governor ac? knowledges that it is, in rrnny respects, better thau ( others of its olaas, passed within the lost few years. The main advantage it has over them is is the amount to be raised. ? The cost of the session of 1872-73, bo far as asoer rj tainud, was $260,000; of 1873-74, $215,000; of the present, $150,000. In examining its provisions, in tho . light of the Constitution, and in mea? suring tho sum total tobe raised nuder : it, by the apeoi?o levy for legislative ' expenses, it appears to ns to be fatally defective. It is in the nature of a bill to raise revenue, and more propvriy shouid have originated in the House. It has been distiuotly and decisively disapproved by one bouse, aud its j passage effected not in the regular way, but lrom the operation of a mere rule of the two houses; whereas the ? Constitution requires that "no bill ' shall have tho foroe of law until it Bhall liave been read three times and 1 (on (hree.seveial days, in each house," ko. The Bum ia smaller, it is true, than Las been recently appropriated, aud that ia the ohief merit of the bill; I but what wilt be done about it, when It is plain that the tux of one mill on the dollar, levied for legislative ex- j peases, . will not produce more than $110,060 or $115,000? In the Go? vernor's review, there occurs a passage, .-conveying truth which oannot be too often repeated: "There are," he says, "ho far us I - am able to judge, no expenses of the ? General Assembly which are properly . contingent. Every item of legitimate ' ? expenditure is capable of being ascer? tained in dollars and cents, aud no oc -oasion 'exists for making an appropria? tion in advance of a knowledge of the j exaot amount needed to meet suoh ex? penses." This wholeeome trutb is disregarded in the $10,000 item for the contingent | expenses of the Senate. That clause, like charity, covers a multitude of sine. Its exaot object is clearly shown in the apology made for it in the Union Herald, of yesterday. "It is easy enough," says this jour? nal of easy virtue, "to advocate re? trenchment and reform when their attainment does not in any way inter? fere with one'a personal expectations; bnt when, by a reduction of the expenses to a reasonable limit, the legislator of the period fiudu himself deprived of many articles of luxury to which he has hitherto been accustomed, or of which bis predecessor has given glowing ac? counts or shown tangible evidence, ' the public can well appreciate ?tis Jiesi ' fancy before casting his vote in their interest, and ought, at least, to com ? mend him for his disinterestedness." Commend bis disinterestedness nod thank him for not taking more of the people's hard-earned money, where? with, in rivalry of "his predecessor," ho may supply himself with "articles | of luxury!" There is snob a thing an making a virtue of ueuessity, but "disinterestedness" of this kind is a virtue marvelously like that of the manufacturing of wooden hams nod nutmegs. We have hud enough of it; mvo uh from it in tho future. Smoking Oat Promised. Mr. Beck, tba fearless, honest und able Representative from Kentucky in the House of Representatives, lately made the following soft impeaohmentj against Attorney-General Williams: "Again, I assert that the Depart? ment of Jnatice has nsed the army of | tho United States for the basest of purposes. The Attorney-General bus sent his marahuln and secret-service tbieveu nil over tho laud?to Alabumu, Louisiana, South Carolina und else? where?for purposes of wrong aud op? pression. I repent, it is a department of injustice instead of a department of justice. When tho proper time comes, if I can get an opportunity, I will make good all 1 have said about the Attorney-General and his department. If I am deutud the right here, the uext House of Representatives will see to it." This, it is likely, was not plearaut reading to the mun whoso landuulet was paid for out of tho publio fnuds, upon the name rule that household fur? niture bus been supplied to officials of the South Carolina State Government. It caused some internal griping, no doubt, in recalling to his mind how he ordered troops to bo sent to this Stute in n timo of the most profound peuoe, upon the statement of John J. Fatter son that violenco and murders wero of daily nnd nightly occurrence. But bo will bo protected for a time by a party which ho has served with suoh blind, reckless and dishonorable, devotion. His day will come, however. Reading matter on every page. * .-? A DU?minB. ? Gerrjtt Smith is in a great rage bu ojiuip Congress don't puss the Oivif BIAts Bil|| and Tpruts it particularly nrtfin "the 4)0wards and eoo'uridrolp" in Indiana who would not tolerate mixed biaokH?ncVv white schools. "The old man stands still, looking with amaze meat and diBgnst at tbe cbangaof opi? nion., among the white .people of the North, and declaring against too inti? mate fraternization with their colored "friends." He declares that, unless the fallen Bepnblicun party rides to its feet by very speedily passing the (Jivil Bights Bill, "hell will break loose all over the laud." On the other huud, as tbe Richmond Dispatch pithily says, it has been plainly shown to the Re? publican party that if they pass this biti, "heii win break loose," &o. Whut ta the poor party to do? I New IC 1 nil <>r Men. Wo oertaiuly have a new order of men in pnblio life, men who know nothing or but little of those, restraints of decency and delioaoy, not to say of principle, which characterized tbe days before the present generation. Kellogg telegraphed to President Grant, a few days ago, to hurry up the select committee to investigate Louisiana affairs. But mark his reason for the request: "I um confi? dent that an investigation will vinrii- j cate the policy of your administration, will strengthen the Republican party," dec. The President made no bones of sending it to tbe Spuuker of the House of Representatives and to the press. He appears never to have dreamed, any more than Kellogg himself, that the duty expected of the committee would have been derogatory to its dignity, and alien to any honorable view of tbe true purpose of its appoint? ment. ,???-? Civuj Rights in New Oulkans.? The white people of the Senth have very frequently been told that the ne? groes do not dosiro to mingle with them upon terms of social equality. That these as9urauceu are utterly un? true, we have constantly had abundant proof, and from every section of the country. The latest attempt of the negroes to force themselves iuto the society of the whites that has been put upon record happened in New Orleans on Monday of last week, and it cam" about somewhat in this wise: Seine two weeks prior to tbe trouble, the School Board issued circulars to the intermediate schools, directing tbe principals to prepare and forward, pre? vious to the 11th instant, a list of tbe pupils for examination for admission to the high school.-*. At no time bad the prinoipal of the Girls' Upper High School received any information, of? ficial or otherwise, of the purpose of the uegro women to apply for such ex? amination, and the Picayune expressly avers that "the attempt to introduco negroes there was iu direct contempt, not to say violation, of the regulations established and promulgated by the School Board. Notwithstanding this, however, on Monday rooming, nbout 9 o'clock, sixteen negro women ap? peared in the sohuol room and applied for admission as pupils. Thereupon tbe girlB of the school, as soon us they saw what was going on, rose iu a body and protested ugainst such a violation of propriety, and refused to proceed with the usual exercises until the mat? ter was settled. A written protest was then prepared and bunded in, where? upon the girls withdrew, leaving the school without a pupil. Of course, tbe excitement in tin, oity was great, and, as wus to huvc been uxpeoted, the attempt to esta? blish "mixed schools" resulted iu failure, public opiuiou being so strong against it as to force the colored ap? plicants for admission iuto the school to withdraw their pretentious. But this brief statement does not comprise all that was done. Before the difficulty came to an end, it got noised abroad that the principal of the Upper Girl's School, Mr. Boothby, hud used lan? guage derogatory to the character of the girls who withdrew from tho Buhool. For this supposed ofience, Mr. Boothby was met upon tbe streets on tho next day by u party of gentle men, who laid violent bands upon him, took him to the school-room nud I made bim apologize to the assembled j pupils. In addition to this, he was 1 forced to sign a certificate that he would do all iu his power to prevent mixed schools. It appearing, however, 1 that Mr. Boothby was nut the party who had used the insulting language, ' further inquiry wus made, and it was fonnd that Mr. A. E. Adams, nu at- I tachoe of the Republican, was the iudi viduul. Thereupon Mr. B. A. Me- ; Donough, a friend of several of the girl), purchased "a goodly cowhide" and went in senrch of Adams. He j found htm, and, according to the Picayune, "seized him by tisc collar j and cuwhided him until he was tired, and then, turning him loo.se, gave him j a parting lash as bo rapidly retreated, rubbing his body and giviug buebj sigus of pain ns would induce one to I believe that unless the chairs in the! Republican office are padded for somo days to come, they will for bim have no inducements." Atid that is tho progress made towards the establish? ment of "mixed schools" in Now Or? leans. We rather think the institution will not thrive in thut latitude. " Orrr ^AWEW^?ubsorib? fdf the PhOSNIX?? dOjO'l b<ilTt|W. - ,yt TDbo "tine weather oontin ued yester? da>.
