The following is the bill which has recently
been passed by Congress, and humorously
called "An Act to strengthen the public
credit -
Be IL enacted, etc., That in order to remove any
doubt IS TO the purpose of the government to dis.
charge all just obligations to the public creditors,
and to settle conflicting questions and interpreta.
tons of the laws by virtue of which obligations
have been contracted, IL is hereby provided aud
declared that the faith OF the United States 10 SOL
EMMY pledged to the payment in coin, or its
equivalent, of all the obligations of the United
States not bearing interest known as United States
notes. and Of all the interest bearing obligations Of
the Omitted States. except In cases where the law
authorizing the issue of any such obligation has
expressly provided that the same may be paid in
lawful money or other currency than gold and sill
yer, but none of said interestabesring obligations
not already due shall be redeemed or paid before
maturity, unless ct such time United States notes
shall be convertible into coin at the option OF the
holder, or unless at such time bonds of the United
States bearing lower rate of interest than the
bonds TO be redeemed can be sold at par in coin,
and the United States solemnly pledges its faith
TO make provisions at the earliest practicable pc.
rod for the redemption of the United States notes
in coin.
Not to put too fine point on it, this act is
simply nonsensical. The declaration by the
Forty-frst Congress that the bonds are pay
able in gold does not bind any succeeding
Congress. The Forty-second Congress may
declare that the bonds are not payable in gold.
Whether they are payable in gold, or in
paper, depends on the nature of the original
contract. Whether they will be paid in gold
or in paper depends on the public opinion
and the legislation of some future day, and
not, by any means, on the opinions or
opinionative legislation of the Forty-frst
Congress.

Governor Warmoth has appointed the State
school board, and the act of the Legislature
requires the State board to appoint Board
of Directors for the city of New Orleans. If
the board to be so appointed attempt to en-
force the peculiar views of the Radicals in re-
gard to mixed schools, they will simply
break up our school system. The people of
New Orleans support their own public schools,
by money appropriated out of the municipal
taxes for that purpose. They have right to
the control and direction of the money thus
raised and appropriated, and the interference
of the Legislature is only another act of
tyranny added to the many which that
body has already perpetrated. The peo-
pie of New Orleans simply will not send
their children to school with negroes. This
may be prejudice or it may be natural repul-
sion or it may be anything else you please
but it is fact--and fact which cannot be
suppressed or overcome. The white people pay
nine-tenths of the amount devoted to school
purposes but they are willing to pay for
the education of colored children to
furnish them with equal facilities
and equal accommodations, provided
that the two races are not mingled
in the same school houses. If education
is the object desired this should be sufficient
if it is not sufficient, then education must be
only a pretext for forcing distasteful asso-
citation on the white people. Should it come
TO this, we hcpe'tnat no moro appropriations
will be made by the city for school purposes.
The white people can take measures to assure
the education of the white children, without
the intervention of the intrusive State board
and its creatures, and the Radicals will have
the satisfaction of finding that they have
deprived the colored people OF the facilities
and privileges which the latter now enjoy
The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1869-03-19

No act of the Legislature indicates the
perverted views which the Radicals hold of the
powers and duties of governments more than
that which imposes what is called a license
on professions. The real functions of gov
eminent involve the protection of property;
and property, in its widest sense, includes
the right to labor, or to exercise any trade.
profession or calling The Radical idea
seems to be that the right to exercise such
trade or calling is conferred by the State, and
that the State has the right to prohibit it at
any time. The taxing power should be exer-
cised for the purpose of protecting labor and
the rights of labor, and to pervert it
to the purpose of destroying such
rights is essential despotism. To say that
no lawyer or physician shall practice his pro-
fession until he pays license is to say that he
has no natural right to exercise his talents
and his requirements for the sake of gaining
livelihood but that he derives such right from
some superior power. 1t is upon this fallscy
that the absurdities of the so-called "civil
rights" act are founded. 1t is fallscy that
permeates radicalism, and crops out on all
occasions-a fallacy which, indeed, lies at the
foundation of radical policy, and directs the
tone Of radical thought fallacy whichshows
that radicalism is at war with true liberalism
and that it is really restrictive, retrogressive,
and tyrannical It is to be hoped that the
time may soon come when the Judiciary, re-
cognizing the eternal truths of government
and the inalienabls rights of the citizen, will
refuse to enforce legislation based upon as
sumptions SO COMPOUNDED and SO destructive
of personal freedom.

REBELLION WITH AND WITHOUT sUFRl
CLEFT CAUSE


Tho Tribune (of this city, discussing the
Cuban question, treads upon terribly delicate
ground to the touch Of truly Loyal" Radical
feet 1t says: "Ths Cubans are rebels.
Yes. Why, then, it may be asked, do we not
denounce them as We did Southern rebels !?
Why do we pray for the success of the former,
having hoped for the defeat Of the latter? ?
For the best of reasons. 1t is not rebellion
that we are opposed to, but rebellion without
sufficient cause. The South rebelled against
good government good, SO far as the whites
were concerned); the Cubans are rebelling
against Spanish rapacity." We deny that the
seeding Southern States rebelled. Never
theless, suppose, for arguments sake, that
their secession constituted rebellion Against
what, and for what, did they rebel? They
sincerely believed that they had sufficient
cause, they had no doubt of their abundant
right, to take the steps which they did.
Morally, then, they were justifable, since
moral questions turn upon convictions and
motives. If the inquiry is carried further,
it will be found that the seeding States had,
to say the very least, fully as much tangible
reason for their so-called rebellion as the
American colonies had when they revolted
against Great Britain. In each case, the effort
to obtain independence and self-government
was induced, mainly, by vivid anticipation
of wrong and oppression yet to come. Of
course, we will be told that this anticipation
was unfounded. The advocates of loyal adj
hesion to Great Britain urged the same
argument against the proceedings of George
Washington, John Adams, Patrick Henry,
Thomas Jefferson and other rebellious
worthless of 1776. But let us also grant, for
arguments sake, that, in the first instance,
the Southern States had no sufficient cause to
"rebel." Then we come to the Tribune's
definition of what constitutes q sufficient
cause of rebellion. "The Cubans," says our
Radical contemporary, "are rebelling against
Spanish rapacity." Rapacity on the part of
the existing authorities will, therefore, justify
rebellion, according to this Radical organ.
Well, where has such rapacity been more fla
grant than in this and otter States under
carpet-bag and scalawag rule? The Tribune
itself has often denounced the INSCRIPTIONS
and plundering crew who, under cover of
federal protection, have been preying upon
the substance of the Southern people, both
black and white. Hence, if we follow the
Tribune's logic, the South, though it " re-
belled" before "without sufficient cause"
would now be amply justified in rebelling. 1t
is always dangerous for an orthodox Radical
to. express sympathy for populations strug-
Cling for liberty anywhere. Our clever. but
too impulsive, contemporary should take
warning. 1t cannot openly advocate the
cause of the struggling Cubans without utter
ing heretical doctrine and exposing its loyalty
to suspicion.

Schenck and Butler have had high words in
the House. The encounter was no doubt
very fierce between the hero of Big Bethel
and the hero of Vienna. Schenck charged
Butler with saying what he knew to be I'M
true, which was true for Schenck, but not at
all remarkable for Butler; and Butler said
that Schenck had high courage to stand up
for the whisky ring, thereby intimating that
the hero of Vienna had not displayed much
valor on that stricken field All of which
was very interesting, although it did not dis
close any new phase in the character of either
of the antagonists.
