Senator Revels' Advice to his
Race.

Senator Revels, of Mississippi,
lectured the other day in Baltimore
to the members of a colored church,
and among other things said;
Education was the great lever
by which to raise and ennoble the
African race on this continent, The
colored people should be fitted
mentally and morally for the du.
ties awaiting them. The colored
people should first pay attention to
primary and then collegiate educa-
ton, and select such schools as are
best fitted for mental culture. To
the young men he would say that
intellectual and moral attainments
depended much upon how youth
was passed. They should spurn
the thought that they would never
succeed. The press, the church
and political organizations, he said,
ought to assist the colored people
in elevating their race, and he ad-
vised the colored people to give
their leisure hours to reading the
newspapers, as they would keep
them acquainted with the great is
sues of the day"

The Present County Treasury
Law-Is it a Good One.

The Treasurer of Butler county
has been using the public money
for private purposes, which is bad
and has been caught, which is
worse. When the Ohio Legisla-
ture adopted the Sub-Treasury law
it supposed the door had been ef-
fectualy closed against .transac-
tons of this kind. 1t did close one
door, but it opened another. lfex-
amining committees will visit, with
out previous notice, the various
County Treasures in the State of
| Ohio, it will be found the Butler
County Treasurer is not the only
one who has been using the public
money.
We were in the Presidents office
of Cincinnati bank some time ago,
talking to the chief officer, when a
gentleman entered and asked a pri-
vate interview with that officer
When the stranger tired the Pres
ident asked us if we knew the man.
We answered in the negative
"Then," said he, 81 will tell you
what he wanted, but you must not
print it at present. He brought a
letter of introduction and desired a
loan of $4,000 for ten days, for
which he proposed to deposit salts
factory security. | examined his
colIaterals, and found them suffi-
cient. 1 then inquired what use he
proposed to make of the money
lie at first hesitated, but finally
said the County Commissioners
we're about to count the funds in
the County Treasury, and that Of
ficer needed $4,000 until the count
should be made"
"What did you do p we inquired,
81 refused" said the President
/" Are such al plications often
made ?" we asked. "Frequently,
was the reply; "but, said the bank
officer, II never loan money for
such a purpose knowingly. Some
years ago a friend of the then
Treasurer of this county borrowed
100000 in greenbacks al eleven
o'clock to be returned by 8 P. NJ,
for which he left Dol dis as security.
Our cashier made the loan and
hearing of it made inquiry, and
ascertained that the funds in the
County Treasury had been counted
that day. l had no doubt our
greenbacks were deposited in the
County Treasury and counted. At
2 P. NJ. they we're returned to us,
and the United States bonds given
up.
The Sub Treasury system is a
humbug. 1t prevents Treasurers
from depositing bonds in bank
openly, but it does not prevent
those officers from using the funds
privately. The temptation to make
something out of the money on
hand is great, and many officers
Weld. The Butler county man has
been caught in the act. Otherwise
his case Is not peculiar. We need
a better system Cincinnati Ga

President on reduction of taxa

mend the removal of all taxes on
watches, pianos, carriages, billiard
tables and silverware; also the re-

all the special license taxes except
those on manufacturers of tobacco

ANOTHER SCENE and ANOTHER CRISIS
What is taking place in France may well be
called drama, since scarcely day passes but
there is scene in the Corps Lcgislatlf Reg
ularly the curtain descends on Deputies in
tableaux, Ministers in striking attitudes, or
dealing in personal ret0rt or defense. aud amid
sensation or excitement, profound or intense,
according to the taste of the French reporters.
The Corps is n remarkable body. with plenty
of talents, prejudces. and sensibilities, and
differs from q steady Parliament in being the
creation of an Empire necessarily made up Of
combustibles. IL the ruler of France is impa-
tient Of the explosions heard in his Legislative
Chambers, the defeat Of his Premier Olivier
may afford him desired opportunity for YER
flying sinister maxim lately attributed to
him, that though acting in good faith he has
no faith.
NJ. Olivier yesterday dared to propose, not
the entire abandonment of the fraudulent sys-
tenn Of official canddatures, but some of its
most odious features. Speaking for his motion,
he pledged to the partisans of the Empire the
retention of whatever portions Of the old ma
chine of elections have hitherto worked well,
while, OH the other hand, he submitted that to
do less than attempt the reform of the cleo
tora system would be. inconsistent with the
character of liberal Administration. But at
the very outset of his argument the Minister
was harassed and fred at from all corners OF
debate. A new enemy appeared in his front
not merely the Left or the extreme Left, but
the Reht,-tbe Tories, the mamelukes, and in
good part the instruments and creatures Of the
Empire. They rose as one man against the
first sign Of an attempt to demolish the
system which made them pensioners aud ser
wants of the Empire. Did NJ. Olivier venture
so far as to give to these creatures of dynasty
reasonable cause for outcry. even from their
selfish point of viewf We have still our
doubts Of the courage of the new Premier to
face the strongest side, and to deal with a
majority. AS appears from our Cable dis
patches, he has done just enough to aggrieve
the Right aud to dissatisfy the Left. The
former bodily voted against him, and the lat
ter voted for him with an apology. A motion
by the Right for the order of tho day was
carried by vote Of 1877 to &c, and thus, by
what seems to be equivalent to declaration
of want Of confidence, the first ministry
under the affected impersonality of the new
phase Of empire has been equally defeated by
the support of foes and the hostility Of
friends. r ~ ~
/ The lessons Of the new crisis are apparent.
The vicious strength of the system of official
candidatures. as 20 fully revealed in the vote

We thank the Senate for prompt and sa-
gacious act. 1t has put its foot upon the
misclIievous effort of the House for Currency
Initiation Nothing could be better. or more
timely. And now, will honorable Congressman
look 70 Wnll-st, and read the lesson OF yes
terday's rccOrdP
In 1860. with Debt less than the annual
interest we have since had to pay. our bonds
stood in the markets of the world two 10 three
per cent above par. Since then they have sold
for forty cents on the dollar, and swelled III
volume TO the enormous aggregate oil over
Two and Half Billions. Yet yesterday wit
messed the triumph Of our National Credit over
enemies abroad and thieves and repudiators
at home, and our bonds once moro stood for
their face in the markets Of the world.
Messrs. congressman the very Office boys in
the banks and great mercantile houses can
read you the lesson of the fact. 1t says to
YOU "Hands off, Give the Secretary authority
to fund the Debt, and then let the finances
alone. All the Country further asks is tho
collection Of the Revenue. and the problem OF
return TO Specie Payments Will soon be solved.
There will be some pressure, OF course; but
when can it be better hOrneY A good many
arc not ready for the further shrinkage in inflated
values; but when will they bef We are now
wIthis sight OF Specie Payments we turn
back 10 the past fluctuations and uncertainty
that converted all business operations into gam

shock aud go ahead9 Shall we keep ahcat on

plant ourselves on bed rock

Administration meant business. that the Rcye-
nue. was collected, that the expenses OF Gov
eminent were contracted, that the Sinking
Fund law was obeycd, that the Debt
was constantly reduced. that liquidation
in any form was secuted, tho. value of the
Currency has steadily appreciated, aud the
credit of the Government at home and abroad
as steadily advanced. The late decision Of the
Supreme Conrt was the final blow. There is
to-day no strength in the premium on Gold; no
reason for It's existence save the apprchcDsions
still felt Of danger from Congress. Messrs.
Congressman, you can end this if you will.
Give US o Funding Bill watch the appropria-

The bill authorizing the District Attorney of
Washington County to appoint an assistant
was yesterday vetoed by Gov. Hoffman, ON the
ground that there is no pressing necessity for
the measure. Tic Governor was thus far in
the right, and true to his antipathy TO special
legislation but lie was all wrong when he
further told the Legislature that it would be
better to pass general law authorizing Boards
Of Supervisors to appoint Assistant District
Attorneys. A hint to multiply Offices was
never lost upon the Democracy, and we pre-
sumo We shall soon have multitude of As

Making virtue of q necessity is well Illus
trated in the case of The Worlds onslaught on

is training for the nomination for President;
Peter b. Sweeny tlligsts to represent this state

Tweed is ravenous for the honors of Chairman
of the National Democratic Committee. No
body is better aware Of these things than tho
d-gloved Democracy Of The Manhattan Club
and nobody knows better than the editor OF
their organ. The World, that their only hope
to head off this trio with Seymour Tilden,
and Belmont, lies in their being able to get up
an irreconcilable fight between the Legislature
and the Ring. Sweeny's downfall is Tildens
