The PRINTING BILL.

The printing bill at present pending be-
fore the House of Representatives provides
that the Governor, Lieutenant Governor,
and Speaker of the House may contract at
rates provided in the bill with some suit
able person, who shall perform all printing
required by the Legislature, executive and
judicial departments of the State govern
ment; that he shall also perform all the
printing required by the parish of Orleans
or city of New Orleans; that his journal
shall be termed the official journal, and to
be of effect certain legal advertisements of
general interest must be published therein.
The rates prescribed are those named in
former laws of this State under Democratic
rule, or they are the rates prescribed and
paid by Congress fer similar work.
The bill also provides for certain print
ing in country or parish journals.
We have this to say of this bill:
1t was not drawn up by any one in the
interest o this office; the rates are fair re-
munerative rates. We hope to secure the
award of printing from the Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, and Speaker of the
House.
As Republican journal we believe we
are entitled to it from Republican ad.
ministration.
If through its means we can give to the
people of this State a journal o. the kind,
character and ability which will serve the
great cause we are trying to advance, that
is reason enough that we should enjoy any
advantages resulting from this contract.
1t is objected that no former acts gave to
the official journal of the State printing of
the city of New Orleans.
The journal will be published in this
city it will be accessible to all it will
be no more expensive than another, and
with its necessarily consequent circulation
must 60 the dissemination of Republi-
can principles.
In former years the laws, journals, ETC.,
were published both in French and En-
glish. The present constitution forbids this,
and makes the contract but half that of
those years, An attempt to make this bill
appear gigantic monopoly will prove
failure.
We recognize ID it rumunerative contract.
We hope to obtain it. Through its aid we
hope to be able to publish journal which
shall far exceed in every excellence any
now issued in this city, and because of
this--of the correct political influence
which might follow 1.-THE rebel press of
the city are swift to cry out against
the act.

wIlllng 70 sell Land.

A convention of the farmers representing
twelve counties in Virginia and nine in
North Carolina has just been held at Burkes
vile for the purpose of taking cooperative
measures to improve the agricultural re.
sources of the section of country represent.
ed. One of the plans agreed upon is worthy
of commentator. It was agreed by reso.
luton to sell lands topurchasers from any
section of the United States. While we
admire the good sense which controlled
these farmers in their deliberations, we are
impressed with the novelty Of the thing,
1t is certainly strange that any
community in the United States should
consider 1t necessary to formally and
publicly remove the Chinese wall Of exelu.
siveness from their boundary, so that out
side barbarians may freely come in and buy
and sell. Probably few II any Of the gentle
men composing the Farmers Convention
had any agency Ia creating the feeling that
made their resolution necessary. II is a
part OF the rubbish which comes down from
former generations And the disposition
nov manifested 70 sweep it away is one of
the encouraging signs of the times. ItshoWs
that the Southern people begin to under.
stand their real interests, and are deter
mined to look out for them.

POLICE.

Many rumors are afOat that the new
Police Board have made large numbers of
appointments, and chiefly of colored men,
to the police force since their Inauguration.
From direct and authentic information we
can state that on Friday there were ap-
pointed four policemen and four supernu-
meraries.
On Saturday there were appointed one
policeman for special duty at Recorder
Becker's court, and seuen supernumeraries.
1t may De interesting to some of our
readers TO have made clear the difference
between policeman and supernumerary.
A policeman is one of the regular force
having his beat or assigned regular duty.
A supernumerary is one appointed to the
force, but only to serve in case of a regu-
lar policeman failing in his duty from sick
ness, accident, or other cause,
In such case the supernumerary assumes
the number and club of the defaulter, and
does duty in his stead.
He is simply at the call of the chief to
supply deficiencies, and receives pay only
when on duty as described.
So it will be seen that thus far no ma
terial changes have been made in the force,
nor, as we understand it, is it designed
there will be.
1t is well to remark in this connection
that the new Board yesterday passed
resolution that in the selection of candi-
dates for appointment on the force only
strong, able-bodied men, of good moral
character, who could read and write,
would be considered.
So far as the force is changed, it IS re-
solved that it shall be for the better-not
in partisan sense, but in such as the
entire community will recognize.

they lose little if anything by being dis
franchised. In all other pursuits they are
on an equality with the most favored eiti-
zens.
The question of taxation and currency
form the subject of several of the resoln-
lions or demands There is an affirmation
in general terms that the public debt ought
to be paid as rapidly as possible. That the
taxes should be made very light, and no
very strict inquiries Instituted to ascertain
whether man has paid his taxes honestly
or not.
The sixth demand contains a clause
which will readily commend itself to the
attention of our colored fellow-citizens;
The abolition of the Freedmen's Bureau
and all political instrumentalities designed
to secure negro supremacy" That is, the
Democracy demand the repeal of all laws
passed for the protection of the colored
people, with a view to the substitution of a
system analogous to the old peculiar in
stimtion." 1t is clear that they cling to
the hope of again setting up slavery, in a
modified form at least, by compelling the
colored people through their wants and
necessities, to accept such terms for their
labor as the employers choose to offer.
This looks as if "the best friends were
preparing already to turn cold shoulder
upon their colored proteges as soon as they
get sufficient power into their hands.
The eighth demand relates to the rights
Of American citizens abroad, and an
nounces nothing new, or that is likely to
be objected to by the people. 1t is merely
an echo Of the Republican doctrine on the
subject.
The platform concludes with a rattling
summing up, in which the Republican
party is charged with being responsible for
various evils, real and imaginary. The
Democracy virtually arraign the people of
the United States, and censure them for
adopting and carrying out measures made
necessary for the suppression OF the rebel
lion, seemingly overlooking the unpleasant
fact that the authors of the rebellion are
the only parties who are to blame for all
the charges contained in the count.

WHIoH PARrY Is RPspnNarR1.pa

The attempt of the Democratic papers to
throw the responsibility for the outrages
committed in Texas upon Republican
officers of the law in that State is a cheer
ing sign Of Improvement. 1t shows that
they are beginning to be ashamed of law
less acts, and have no longer a disposition
to apologize for them. And we should be
well satisfied if the Democratic officials
were shown to have performed their duty.
But facts and figures initiate too strongly
against them, and we are compelled to re-
tain our convictions that by their unfaith-
fulness much Of the crime that has scourged
Texas has been permitted. The following
extract from the report of the Invesdgat-
lag Committee shows the numbers Of the
officers of each party, and of course fastens
the responsibility where it rightfully be-
longs;
Witnesses from various parts Of the State
testify to increased bitterness against the
Government and its supporters, and to the
multiplication Of crime during the last win.

emily denied by Conservatives, and they
claim further, that II true, it Is TO be
charged against the present provisional State
government. They tell us that the oficea
Of the State are In the hands Of military ap.
pointeea, and that, therefore, the Repubii.
can officials Of Texas are responsible for
this increase Of laWiessness and disorder.
To this we reply; First, the powers Of

very limited, and are exercised 10

or Pease- qualified as Governor of Texas on
the eighth of August, 1861. There were at
that time 2, 377 elective offices held by per
sons elected in 1865. Sometime after this
some changes, removals and appointments,
were made by the military. These all to the
twenty-fourth instant, Dune, 1862 were
made to fill vacancies, leaving $40 removals
and appointments, 394 of the appointments
refused or failed to qualify, many OF them
declining for fear of assassination, in which
case the old incumbents continued to act. So
that there are 1875 of the elective Offices in
Texas in the occupancy of those elected in
1866, and only 402 in the possession of mill
tary appointees. There are lS2 notaries public
appointed by Governor ThrockmortOn still
in office, and there are only twentyseven
who have been appointed by Governor
Pease. It thus appears only one.tfth OF the
officers in Texas to-day are loyal men, and
yet some have the effrontery to hold this
one,ffth responsible for the whole. But
certainly if any responsibility at all rests
on the State government it legitimately
rests on the large body of Conservatives
who hold the power and who, as we have
seen too frequently use that power for the
protection Of criminals; and, third, the on =
period of time in which the present al
ministration of Texas can justly be said to
have been Republican, was marked by the
greatest amount of tranquility. That peri
cd was between the eighth of August, the
date of Goverdor Pease's qualification, and
the twentyninth of November, the date of
General Hancock's assuming command of
the district, about three months of 1867. In
the three months of September, October,
and November, 1867, there were twenty
seven murders committed in Texas,
reported by the Freedmen's Bureau,
that is to say there were nine muir
ders per month, whilst in the other
nine months of the same year there were
100 murders committed in Texas, as report
ed by the same authority, that is to say there
were eighteen per month, double the former
number.
These simple statements are amply sufi-
cient to refute the SANDER so frequently re-
peated by Conservatives, and to yindicate
the present civil administration from all
completely in the increased lawlessness of
the State. But it is not difficult to fix the
responsibility of this increase of crime.
