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.

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.

Gerrjtt Smith is in a great rage bu

Indiana who would not tolerate mixed

man stands still, looking with amaze

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

Wo oertaiuly have a new order of

nothing or but little of those, restraints

of principle, which characterized tbe

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.
