GQff^BIAy & U. The Kaforoeractot Act? oat Trial. There io a prospect of better times for the South iu the anticipated, oon firraatioo by the Supremo Court of Mr. Justice Bradley's decision in the Graut Pariah oaae. Four citizens of Xiouisiana were indicted ander the En foroement Aot, charged with having feloniously banded together to intimi? date oitizHDB of African descent, and to deprive them of certain speoifled constitutional-rights, to peaceably as ?enable, :tdibear arms, to'.be <pioteoted in life and liberty to vote, &o. They *er$ arrested by United States officers and brought directly before the United Steten Court. There was no allegation tbo% ibey were deprived of any of these 'rights"by or in consequence of any of Sie |sVfB of the State. The JusWoe iscurted the terme of the amendment apd Enfarcomonfc Act, pronounced it ??oo?titurioual, obd praotioally null and vpid^vHofiaid: a "If tuetio viowu aro correct, there can Sie ho'constitutional legislation of Cun kr^es'far<d<n?l(y Enforcing the privi? leges and tamunitice^ufrottiae^h of the IJsited States, uy'or'igtual proceedings tti^b^iOnurta-.:0(!'tb& ?uitcd Statu?, Vsfere; the only constitutional guaran? tee of such" privileges and immunities Isthat no Starte abail pasa any law to Obridgo them, nud where the State has passed no law adverse to them, but, on lbs contrary', baa- passed Uws to sub tain and enforce tbem." . Ti>e <cane will come up before the Sitpremo Court1 On appeal early in Itaroh. Unless political oousidera tioas are to influence its decision, the Court can hardly fail to sustain the dear and just decision of Justioe Brad? ley. The thirteenth amendment pro dibits slavery* and makes void any State lav which should attempt to re onaot it. The fourteenth deoiares all persona born or naturalized in the United States to be citizens of the Stete in which they live, and of tho United States, and forbids any State to abridge- the privileges or immuni? ties of its oitizeuH, or to deprive any one of life, liberty or property; v*uV; out due pfocresa of law, or to dopy <him the equal protection of the taw?.< The fifteenth forbids the United States or any Stptu to. deny or abridge the right'to vote on aooount of race, oolor <kj. preyioua condition of servitude. The omendmentadeal only with States, afed, sre poly prohibitory of State law* and of tho acta of State authorities) ander them. They give no cover for Federal power tc interfere with the local affaire of a State. It is only fair to oonelnde that this power remain* the same, neither more nor less, as re? gards such affaire. Tbe Enforcement Aots profusa for their object the carry? ing oot these amendments. They confer upon officers of- the Federal Government authority to arrest, ivy uuti pnoinu oitij&ens ,ur viuoiiuvb and crimes properly aod usually fall? ing under notice of ihe State authori? ties. Under them, as the Southern States have experienced to their cost, Federal marshals and their subordi? nates aot as Federal police, assuming ' and exercising the power to summon to their aid Federal troopo. aod bring ing those'whom they arrest for trial into' Federal 'court*. It was a case of this kind brought before Justice Brad? ley, wbioh gave hiaa the opportunity and the 'ight to pass upon tbe consti? tutionality of the law. It is to be hoped that his view of it cill be sustained. As the Aot Btacds, it gives a pretext, and constantly asts as a stimulus for these subordinates of the Federal Go? vernment to meddle with things tbey do not understand. No matter bow peaceable the disposition of a people, however discreet their conduct, euch a law as this, with such an attorney as Williams at Washington, and the agents of the oeutral power established in every State, aod politicians, hungry for office and intent on misobief, pass? ing between them and getting up hor? rors aod outrages, it is impossible to avoid trouble. Wipe it out, and their occupation's gone. ?- I Forney, of the Philadelphia Press, who delights to lecture tbe South upbfi bohavipr, &<>?? reoeived $25,000 of the Paoifle mail subsidy and kept it. The ?Chicago Inter-Ocean, whoso vile ulter ?anoes are constantly reproduced here and thrown into our faces, appoars also on Aberi's black list to the tune of $7.000. The ouly convolution tho Ohivago Zrivii'n? omi find for the dis? reputable proceeding that the money has been permanently invested in Chicago for the benefit of the city. That is the way these fellows get voice and opportunity to abuse tbe Southern people. ?i?>>,;????????-? Subscribe fur the PHoatux. Progress Backward. k Itr?feV^rTtnltieTatter part of 1806/ to President Johnson, dissuading him from interfering by military force in the contest between the Police Oom miHeioners of'Baltimore and Governor Swann, of Maryland, Qen. Grant was ontspokon against taking eide* with either. He earnestly de preen tod tbe contingeuoy of having to "eeod troops into a State in full relations with the General Government, on the eve of au citation, to preserve the poaco." Hh aided, "if iOBurrectioD does come, tbe law provides tbe method of calling out forces to suppress it." Tbn President was then in better company, and with a bettor standard to guide him. Now be is committed to spoils, office, power and absolutism. Ho has made great strides in that directiou withiu tbo last two years. In his letter upon Louisiana affairs, two years ago, he j said: "To judge of tbe election and quali? fications of its members ie tbe exclo Bive province of the Senate, as it is also the exclusive provinee of tbe House to judge of the election and qualifications of its. members; but as I to State offices, filled and hold under State laws, the decisions of the State judicial tribunal, itseemsto me, ought to be respeoted." How different thiu from directing or npholdiiig the offensive step of Sheri? dan, in suppressing one Legislature aud Betting np another. Georgia Finances.?Iu bis message to the General Assembly of Georgia, Governor Smith states tbat tbe balance in tbe Treasury on tbe 1st day of Janu? ary, 187a, was $922 556 25, and tbe amount received during the last fiscal year was 31,895,116 86; making the aggregate amount charged against tbe Treasnror laat year. S2.817.723.il. Tbe disbursements for the same period amounted to $1,814.591 23. which, de duoted from, the amount received, leaves a balance of $1,003,128.83 un band January 1, 1875. He .reports a steady growth in the wealth of the State. The reported in? crease' in tbe value of taxable property for the year 187-i, is more than $30, 000,000 over and above the value re? ported for the praviona year. This in areas* waa produced, in- part, by the repeal of the law exempting a certain amount of property from taxation. But after/naming full allowance for tbe re? peal of this exemption, it appears tbat the net increase In tbe value of taxable property returned was $13,709,370. ---??>.?.. President Grant in a class of thirty nine (1843) at West Point stood No. 21. Sheridan in a class of fifty-two (1853) was bat No. 34. They are turning out as might have beuu ex? pected.

The House adjourned until to-mor? row at 11 A. M. Protkctiom or Chii..diien.?A new society has been established in New York for the "Prevention ol Cruelty to Children." Its object is cot to im? pertinently interfere between parent and child, as might be supposed from its uume, but to take such measures us will have a tendency to remove the amount of juvenile wretchedness in New York oity, wuiob has its origin iu drunkenness and crime, aud its rosults j in want aud beggary. Mr. Henry Bergh, whose philanthropic exertions ou behalf of tbo good treatment of animals are so well known, is a promi? nent promoter of this new society. A large meeting was recently held in New York, atwbiob the claims and ob? jects of the society were made public. It is formed under ub? Aot of the Stute Legislature, und all religious sectarian? ism is to bu carefully avoided. Tbe law provided that if a child is taken from uu unlit pareut or guardian, it shall be placed in hands where it will be taught whatever religion it has been trained to consider Its own reli? gion. The counsel for tbe society said that it only contemplated interference in such cases in behalf of a child where the parent did not keep within the law. Thin ioe and the confidence of child? hood, have given rise to a great many touching newspaper paragraphs this i season. Supremo Court, made a very fierce argument on tne power of Congress to paia laws pnoisbiog oriminally Btate officials for rofufliog to receive negro votes at State elections. Tbo case grows out of a decision of Judge Bal itird on the Enforcement Act. The Attorney-General took the most ex? treme ground, alleging that under the fifteenth amendment of thu Constitu? tion, Congress could adopt auy legisla? tion it thought appropriate to secure tbe negroes iu what he called tbe grettt right of rights?the right to vute. He >oofTed at Statu rights, und said that if the war hud settled imythiug, it hud set'led the question of Stute rights, lie even went so fur us to deny that the Sapreme Court hud any right to consider whether tbo legislation adopt? ed by Congress was appropriate to accomplish tbe purpose intend, d. lie strenuously insisted that Congress was tbe exclusive judge of what was appro? priate. He told tbe Court with ex treme earnestness tbat if it would go as far in supporting the fifteenth amendment as tbe judiciary on tbe same bench had gone iu supporting slavery, there was no doubt but wbat the Aot of Congress in question would be suatained. He stated unqualifiedly that Hiiub were tbe prejudices of tbe Southern people against tbe legal equity of tbe negroes, tbat tbe tie groeti South would be disfrauubised uulesa Congress iuterpoBed in tbe most empbutio manner to prevent this wrong. Id short, Mr. Williams spoke with snob violence of sentimeut, aud promulgated such txclnsive doctrines, tbat it created surprise, iu whicli even tbe Court seemed to participate. He warned the Court thut it w^s a serious thing to pronounce an Act of Cou gretw unconstitutional, und that though numerous cases bad raised sucb questions as to Acts ot Congress, yet iu ouly five uuses bud thu Uuurt ever held Acts uf Congress unconstitu? tional. It was remarked by lawyers in attendance tbat Mr. Williams' argu? ment, iu its extreme claim of power for the Federal Government, was tbe most remarkable ever made in the Su? premo Court. According to Mr. Wil? liams, the States have no rights, und tbe Federal Government is u govern? ment of unlimited powers. This Shocking Muhdeh in Missis? sippi.? 1 bo telegraph bus already nu nonuoed tbe butchery of an entire family near Khauuon, Mississippi. Later developments prove that a geu tlemuu named Borum, bts wife, two little ohildreu aud a uegro boy were first murdered iu the bouse aud tbe building then fired in u half doz-n places. Ou Saturday week, Borum, wbo had just received S7UU, was iu tbe store of Mr. Wbitesidea, at Shannon, and being asked by him for a loan of 3300, told Wbltesides he would bring him tbe money on Monday, and start? ed for home, his bouse being a mile and a half West of Shannon, bis near? est neighbor being balf a mile from him. The next beard of Bornm aod bis family was that they had been murdered und their bodies burned by negro robbers. Borum's remains were found a few feet from tbe doorway, a part of bis heart aud liver inooe mass, somo brains in tbe buck part of the skull, together with one or two molten bullets, sud by these a pistol, wbieh bad been discharged, aud Borum's knife open in a corner of the room where a bed stood. Tbe remains of Mrs. Bornm were found with those of lie, Jw?ijgc?t OliilU, agou uiuntiai kwu and three years, clasped in her arms, and a few feet distant wero the booes of the eldest child, aged five years. Near tbe fire-place were foood tbe re? mains of a negro boy. It is pre? sumed tbat the perpetrators of tbe foul d> ed made some pretext ou Suuday uigbt to Induce Borum to open bis door, when they rushed iu upon aud shot bim; that he tiro J at them without effect and theo defended himself with his knife, but wan shot und killed, and tbut after outragiug Mrs. Borum, she and the children, with tbe negro boy, were butchered in cold blood. At latest advices, tbe perpetrators of tbe shocking crime bad uot been appre? hended. - - - . - What it Costs to Keep a White House.?A Washington correspondent of the Boston Globe writes: "A lurge proportion of the expenses of running tbe White House is borne by the Government. The entire appro priation for this purpose for tbe pre seut fiscal year is $123.21)0. This in? cludes tbe President's salary, tbe sala? ries of bis secretaries, clerks, messen? gers, policemen, ushers, watchmen, furunze-keoper, steward, and for fuel, light, taking care of tbe mansion, re? pairs, plumbing aud gas-lilting, sta? tionery and ooutiugeutexpenses. With the exception of tbe steward, tbe Pre? sident employs uud puys out of his Biliary all his household servants, cooks, waiters, chambermaids, coach mun, footman, etc. But the list is uot long, und tbe cost do more, if as much as for thu servants of uny private gen? tleman. I heard President Jobuson say, on one occasion, tbut it cost him about $0,000 a year to livo while he was iu tbe Executive mansion, and he remained here all (be year rouud, from January to January. President Grant is usually absent six months of every year on an average, and it is presumed tbat his expenses when traveling or at Long Branch nrn !?BS than in the Whito House. The general impression is, tbat it costs Grunt about $8,000 a year." It seems ead for Sheridan, tbat all tbose threats of aBBassination have never resulted in so much as tbe ex? plosion of a pop-guu.
