turtum: Banday Morning. March 2,1876. ?V/'^-U.^v I Nash has a good appreciation of a Joke. Bat it is no, joke in him t-o tax she tax-paying people of Booth Caro? line for - enoh purely msthetio enjoy? ments as the portraits of Abraham Linooln and Charles Bumner. Mr. 8amnor was a man of oolt?re, but not a statesman of enlarged views, a man ?sincere in his orotchety notions, but essentially narrow and partisan. He looked bank in his. declining years j with evident dissatisfaction and dis? content opon his life work. Had he not noon hastened to his grave by the persecuting spirit of his own people,' whose, intolerance towards the South survived his, snd was turned against himself, because a milder and j aster mood was coming over him. he would to-day be standing in opposition io the extreme demands of hi* party. No doubt he would have supported tho Civ# BightsJ3il?,eo thefe* sard not tftutfa the One j net'passed satisfactory to him, because of the rejection of the .cemetery and' school features. This ^wae the hobby of his life, and could only be givenup with life itself.

'thtf oolorhd LegiSra-1 tare to order these portraits, unless it | shall at the same time out loose1 from Grant. There are, on the contrary, reasons why the carpet-bag members ehonld desire the people's money to be voted -away. " When Whittemore clapped bis ftkods at the fervor of Nash in urging this appropriation, he vras thinking of. the addition it wonld be to his stock In trade in hcod-wink ingtajB colored element.. The colored element failed to see in this, as in so many other matters, that it- is but the tin pan, the eraokers tied to the teil of the oarpet-bag dog to make music for him anil quicken his speed. AM Nash likes a joke, we oom oaaod him to the conclusion of the visitor to Niagara, who preferred the PfMafoal to th^pictureaqae. He said he would rather remain comfortably in1 hffiqStel and look at engravings of tbe fails, than to go out and get wet under the Horse Shoe. It would be better! for themselves and for the people, whose money they are so ready to take from their pockets, if tbe members who admire Swjttner and Linooln, (as they imagineJehoald each get an en? graving of their political divinities and worship them in silence and quiet in their privato lodgings.

' b '!>?'-"TT!-* I Pasiave or (be Civil KlgUis Bill. Well, the Civil Rights Bill, has' passed, and there is no bope that it Wil| receive the veto of thd President. The original bill, as draw a by Charles Sumner, and amended, we believe, by Mr. 13 out well, bad sections wbiob for? bade any discrimination in schools and cemeteries, or rather I which re? quired that the two races should meet together by oompnlsion in the same schools and lie close beside eaoh other in contiguous graves. These features were struck ont by the House of Rep? resentatives from s bill passed by the Senate last winter. The bill thus amended is tho one which has cow passed the Senate. Passed as a mea? sure of revenge, and in order to goad the people of the Sonth into snoh re? sistance as will inflame the North against them, the Southern people will take preoions good oare not to contri? bute to the soheme by any agitation or excitement abont it. There is no dis? position anywhere to deny the colored man his just rights, and there is suffi? cient discernment everywhere in the Sonth to see the objects of this parti? san measure end patience to disappoint them. Discretion and forbearance ere more imperatively the duty of onr people now then ever before. With their eyes steadily fixed on the elec? tions in 1876, which it is the desperate Jame to carry in the interests of the dministration, they will know how to avoid the difficulties and irritations Which this lew is intended to provoke. The colored people,.too, whilo gene felly partisan to the core, will have sense enough to conduct themselves with proper discretion in the emer? gency presented. Bread, meat and Clothing for their families, the increase of thoir bonesyeArnitga. the education Of their children, are objects of far more jalue to these than the fanoiod aqualily. whioh toil bill promises. ;t|Wrtwx!f'?o|t JoJO# iblteJiQea among their politicians, for purposes Of strife and to make political 'toapitai, ejaiMige, their M obile, to 'tanks them square with this Wttv The. eooutry. it is to be hoped; will go on as asna), sod the races keep on good fing the fire-brand wnloh Is thrown amongst tbem to inflame their passions and.bring them into collision.

Mr. Ohadbaod, Gnppy "Snagsby" and Joe are so j ambled up, that the Bleak House is filled with a 6 trau go and unsavory olla podrida, the prevailing essocces of which are train oil, ooapous and iuterest money. But tho clemontsare all there, and the reader of Dickens will find littlu diffi? culty in recognizing thin soone: Reverend Mr. Cbadband?(a larg3 yellow man, with a fat smil6, and a general appearance of having a good deal of train oil about his persou) ?

The Trtaiory Investigation. The consideration of the report ofj the committee appointed to ascer? tain what bonds and coupons have been funded at the Treasury under the | Act to redaoo the volume of the public debt, and whether the interest fund has been kept sepurato and apart, will come up to-day. It was postponed from last Friday, in conseejuenoe of a I letter from the Treasurer, in whioh he | says that he has other important evi? dence to furnish. The committee was authorized, meantime, to take such additional testimony as the State Trea? surer or any other person may have to give. It is probable, then, that an investigation of what we regard as the most important matter of the session will be entered npon to-day, with all statements and proofs in hand from both sides, which are necessary to reach a fair result. When John Young Brown, of Ken? tucky, in decorous and polished lan j goage, indulged in some strictures on the abstraction known as "Butlerism," ho was called to account and censured by the Honse. But now Speaker Blaine, who was severe on Brown on that occasion, "in a colloquy, bas told Dotier he was a scoundrel." We sup? pose - that we shall have illustrated again the difference between my ball or yoor ox. They will do nothing to Blaine. His attack in the oonorete^iB more toletable than Brown in the ab? stract. Bally for Blaine, any way. 4 m m ? It is evident that civilization is wanted in England. John Bot!

It is not an individual persecution, bat an official prosecution. An honeat officer feara neither pnblio oritioism nor private censure, but seeks, under any aud all oiroumstanoes, a rigid investigation as to the faithful discharge of his duties. A new era has dawned upon South Carolina, und iu fulfillment of oft-re? peated pledges, venality, corruption and dunouooty must, if they exist, bo purged from tbe history of the State. Aoousatiou does not necessarily con? stitute a deed, but proof conclusive es? tablishes tbe result. If the State Treasurer has been wronged, he has every opportunity, and to tho fullest elvcuL, to relieve liimiclf uf the charges now imposed un him. "Truth is mighty and will prevail." "Let justice be doue, though tbe heavens fall." "Tboqfsfob thb South. "?It has bceu thu custom of the Radicals to re? spond io all requests that the Federal troops might be Withdrawn from tbe South with the loud declaration that, under the Constitution aud tbe laws, all the'Stntes were open to th* occu? pancy of the army of tbe (Jailed States, aud that if troops were with? drawn from one State because their presence .there was objectionable to the people, it would unty be to send them into another State wuere similar objections might bo rained. >? o doubt this will be tbe Radical auBWcr to the recommendation of the Congressional Iv ju)Miuna Committee, that the Federal troope be wripdrawn from the muoh gi^yerued State of, Louisiaua aud tbe people left to govern themselves. What is moan!, of coarse, uy tho com? mittee, and by every sensible m.tn wbo makes a similar demand, is that the troops shall bo withdrawu from all in? terference with State affair*. Not? withstanding the howl of the truly loyal Radical*, no oue in the South ob? jects to tbe mere presence of tbe boyti in blue, and if they were not always forced to pro?eut themselves iu the disadvantageous character of au in? strument of unlawful oppression, uo doubt they would receive us much generous treatmatfl in the South as they might elsewhere. Fort-Adams, with its irowuing bat tlemeuts, its- gay artillerymen and its evening gun and brass band perform? ance, is one of the most attractive fea? tures of the fashionable resort of New? port, Rhode Island. It is one of those things that Newport would not giro up on any account; for, ia the classic language of Col. Sellers, "there's mil? lions in it." But suppose some fine day the gates of Fort Adams should be swung open, and a band of dashing fel? lows should march oat to the tune of "The Girl I Left Behind Me," oo past the weeping maidens thronging tho porticos of the hotels, and should cap? ture both capitals of Rhode Islaud, prevent tbe Legislature from sitting iu either, aud proclaim to the world tnat all the people of Newport?who really do nothing warae than rob strangers through all sorts of pious devices?are a lot of banditti, what would General Burnside have to say about that iu the Senate? It one walks dowu to tbe battery with a New Yorkor, the New Yorker will point with pride to Go? vernor's Island, and inform tbe stranger that he is gazing upon New York's last ditch, and that even uow it is throbbing with a life that is ready at uuy moment to be laid down in de? fence of the Empire City. But if Gen. Sheridan should drop down to the bat? tery and call over to the island for the throbbiug, patriotic life to come over to help him kick out Mayor Wiokham and substitute General Dix for Go? vernor Tilden, the New Yorker would probably regard ibis last ditch as a J hiving pluoe for despotism, and would not be so proud of the boys in blue wbo erst strolled the parapets. Iu times of war and invasion a strong infusion of military ia very re? assuring. In times of peace a dash o.' military is highly ornamental to aoy city or watering place. Under such oircamstauoes no one can objeot to the presence of soldiers, but the Sonth is not at all exceptional in wishing to see the military kept in place; and when the whole Sooth join in tbe recom? mendation, made by the Congressional Committee, that the soldiers be with? drawn from Louisiana and the people bo left to govern themselves, they only do what tbe people of Rhode Island or New York would do under similar circumstances. Let them stay and sport their uniforms, and dance with the girls and fire their evening guns and run down the stars and stripes to tbe roll of tbe drum, aud generally add to the hilarity of the occasion aud the picturesqueness of the scene, and be welcome to tbem. But withdraw them from participation in tho manage? ment of our civil affairs, for that we oao attend to for ourselves and interference only destroys tbe harmonies of oolor, contour and oonrteay that the jing? ling spurs, tbe clanking sabres, the waspish waists and the plamed and be? spangled young military bucks might otherwise lend to fashionable sooiety in tbe South.

Annapolis.?Tb? eomiiMabrof the Nav?l Academy et Annapolis, some days sgo, caused the fourth-class mid? shipmen to be cod fined to their quar? ters (or moleeting colored midshipmen Baker, and gave them notice thst their liberty would not be restored until eaoh member ef the olass gate written assurance that be would not interfere with nor molest his colored classmate. Fifteen members of the clans have given this assuranoe, but the remain? der of the class, numbering about 100, still bold out.? WashingtonCorrespond ence Neio York Post. An Annapolis letter, of the 25Ui inataut, to the Baltimore Sun, says: "During this week, Mr. Gordon Claude, of Annapolis, a young mun of moHt excellent mind, and of fine social standing, now a cadet engineer, was ordered to fence with the colored mid? shipman at the Naval Academy, and, refusing to do so, has been expelled, lie was at first requested to resign. He would not do that, though he dis likefd to disobey orders. He was then informed he should consult with bit parents. This be did, when his father, Dr. Abram Olande, said he would not udvise him, leaving it to the young man's judgment. Dr. Claude, how '?ver, wont to the Superintendent and told him his son was raised as a South? erner, and not on social equality with a negro, and he would not advise bim to do what he would not do himself. On this, Mr. Clauds was expelled yes? terday. The dismissal of the two cadet mid? shipmen?Melton, of South Carolina, and Jlood, of Georgia?whioh was quietly executed here recently, has brought out two stories of the ocour reuces that led to the expulsions. The first was, in effect, that a snow ball, thrown in a squad of midshipmen, struck the colored cadet, whereupon be prooeeded to cur-c the whole pla? toon. The next day he was caoght in an obscure part of the grounds by Melton and Hood and severely beaten. Meltoo states that on one occasion a number of midshipmen were engaged in snow-balling, when the colored cadet took a hand. The crowd, by common consent, turned upon and pelted him severely. This the colored cadet reported to the authorities. Af? terwards, on Suuday evening, when the students were "going in to supper, the colored midshipman was in Mel? ton's way, standing in the door. Mel? ton told him to get out of the way, whoreupon the other said he was as good as he was, for be (Melton) was appointed by a colored man, and be was sent there by u white one. To this Melton replied with sundry oaths, ani the affair there for the time ended. The sext morning, Melton and Hood came upon the colored boy near the battery, and Melton prooeeded to as? sault and beat bim, Hood lending a band, Melton alleging be would not have struok him, only he knew the negro would be believed, and he was to be dismissed anyhow afterward. Melton was appointed to the aoademy by Congressman Elliott, a colored man." I EIotel Arrivals, March 1, 1875.? Wheeler House?A. A Glover, city; F j M West, N C; G Obed.

The Boston News, commenting upon the recent invitation of Senator Gor? don, of ' ieorgia, to Wendell Phillips, requesting him to visit the Sooth and personally observe the inhabitants of that section and their manners and customs, suggests that William Lloyd Garrison accompany Phillips. The News says further: "It must be ac? knowledged that the visitation experi? ment has so far worked well for the Sooth. Fester, Phelps, Hoar and other Congressional chieftains have gone, and have either been oonverted from their former opinions or made hopefully serious and thoughtful con? cerning Southern affairs." Phillips and Garrison have deduoed all their ideas about the South from their fana? tical hatred and prejudices, whioh have been fed .by politicians, in whose hands they have been as tools to keep alive the enmity of Northern people. A jaunt through the Gulf States and n free mingling with the people will un? doubtedly result in a deoided weaken? ing of the prejudices of the gentlemen referred to. There io nothing like personal observation and investigation to obange onr ideas about men and things, as is evident from the personal oontaot of the Congressional Commit? tees with the so-called "banditti." The Methodist ranter; Ives, might ap? propriately accompany Phillips and Garrison through the South. Crar MATrneq.-^nbooribe for^the Pho^ix?don't^bWrow.
