Heretofore the city railways of
Philadelphia have always given oht
free passes to the City Councils.
This year they do not, and in re-
venge the City Councils have passed
an ordinance that where the fare is
seven cents, they shall pay one cent
for each passenger to the city trea-
sury. The companies hesitate whe-
ther to give out the passes, reduce
the fare or pay the tax.

Drunkenness is said to prevail to
an alarming extent among our ma
tional legislators. The temperance
movement last winter, led off by
Wilson and Colfax, has fallen en-
tirely through, and the liveliest in
stances of relapse may be seen any
day upon the floor. In fact, the
thirst for fre-water has 80 thoroughly
imbued Congress, that ex-Gov. Ford,
one of The few who has stood man
fully up to the pledge, proposed the
other day to Congress to make an
appropriation of $25, 900, or what
ever sum might be necessary, to-
wards fitting up IN inebriate asylum
in Washington for Government
drunkards. This may account in a
measure for some Of the extraordi-
nary bills passed by Congress lately
bills cruelty sharp on the South,
because so we'll whetted. A CORES
pondent of the New York Times,
writing from Washington, says pro-
positions involving millions of dollars
to the Government have often been
settled in the Senate by q majority of
one, and moro than once he has seen
that majority of one ushered in from
the restaurant in such condition of
limbs and brain that he could not
have told next morning how he voted,
or what he voted upon. A Western
radical paper says that when the re-
construction bill was under debate in
the Senate some days ago, "Mr.
Sprague attempted some remarks in
the interest of his constituents, but
became discouraged, and was assisted
from the hall by sympathizing
Senator"

ingenuity. to perform their political
acts in such way as to appeal to the
prejudices of the people and deter
honest men from opposing their
schemes, from fear, of political death;
the second class of demagogues are
those who have less sense. He would
confine himself to the consideration
of the class first named.
W. J. Whipperiwas the only color
ed man who opposed the measure;
he said he believed it was fraught
with evil; it was calculated to de-
ceive, and for one he would be un-
willing to go back to his constituents
and attempt to defend himself, should
he be induced to cast his vote in
favor of it. June would decide the
wisdom of the course he had deter
mined to pursue, and prove that a
terrible error was committed when
the Convention led the colored peo-
pie of the State to believe they were
to obtain land without labor. Ad-
mitting that the loan could be effect
ed, 81 100000 divided among the
people of the State, would give to
about one-fourth, and of this fourth
to each family of seven persons, only
five acres and one-seventh- Just
enough to starve to death upon. If
members did not believe it, let them
go to Beaufort, where the people
have been furnished by Government
with ten acres each, and are to-day
in worse condition than if they had
nothing at ALL The moment this re-
solution passed and the fact was pub
lished to the country that petition
had gone to Congress for 81, ,OOO,-
600, the ignorant colored people,
knowing nothing of figures, believ-
ing implicitly i'll the power of this
body to do everything, whether rea-
sonable or unreasonable, would aban-
don their work, become possessed
more than ever with this phantom of
land, and finally die hopelessly ruin
ed. He would lend no hand in the
adoption Of any such measure.
L. j. Robertson offered the follow
ing resolution: THAT the General
commanding the District, be request
ed to issue an order applicable to the
State of South Carolina, authorizing
any attorney, solicitor or counsellor
admitted to practice in any of the
courts of the United States, or in any
court of record in any State, and re-
sident in this State, may practice in
any of the courts of this State"
