WASHINGTON, May 2Ss
In view of the Presidents recent proc
lamation declaring South Carolina IN a
state Of insurrection and warning the in
surgents to disperse within twenty days,
the interview between Gov Scott OF that
State and the President which took place
on Saturday, had a peculiar significance.
The Governor said there had been no dis
turbance of the public peace IN South
.Carolina, and mildly insinuated that the
blood and thunder proclamation was as
unnecessary as it was Ineffective.
GRANT AIDING THE KU-KLux.
What the Governor said he needed to in
sure obedience to the laws was better
class of men in the Federal Offices in the
State. For instance, he wanted q new
United States Marshal appointed-one
who would see that the laws were obeyed,
and who would arrest all offenders. The
Governor said he did not wish martial law,
but he thought the presence. of q few
troops might be well to aid the Marshal In
arresting Illicit whiskey men and other
offenders against the Federal laws. The
Governor told the President that every
BODY in South Carolina laughed at his
proclamation, for the simple reason that
1t was based on state of affairs that did
not exist There was no insurrectlon IN
that State, nor was there anything like an
organized movement to create a breach OF

CUBAN AFFAIRS.

Although officials refused to give
information,it it is certain that a crisis
has arisen in connection with Cuban
affairs which the Cabinet was espec-
tally summoned to consider. The
King presided at the meeting, pro-
ducing profound sensation by pro-
posing pers onally to proceed to Gu
ba to direct pacifactory measures in
the Island. 1t is generally believed
the result of the meeting of King
and Cabinet was to convoke the
Cortes in extra session tc provide
means to crush the insurrection.
The excitement is very great, and
sympathy is expressed for the gov
ernment, even the late ministers
proffering their support to the pres
ent ministry.

MORAL COURAGE.

There is one navy officer who
does not drink-and his name is
Smith. Admiral Smith gave an en-
tertainment upon ship board to the
Duke Alexis, and not drop of any
thing that could intoxicate was serv-
ed, though the refreshments were
very elaborate and expensive. That
was true moral courage. 1t requires
sometimes, more courage to meet
and combat fashion, than to meet a
cast-iron foe. Something to drink
is so much matter of course in
fashionable circles, and emphatical-
ly SO in military and naval circles,
that that officer who has the stamina
to fly in the face of the drinking
custom, is entitled to as much cred
it as one who meets and defies an
armed foe, and he should be ranked
among the tried heroes.

THE CIVIL SERVICE BOARD.

In my message to Congress one year
ago urgently recommended reform
in the civil service of the country. In
conformity with that recommendation
Congress, in the ninth section of an act
making appropriations for sundry civil
expenses of the Government and for
other purposes, approved March 3rd,
1871, gave the necessary authority to
the Executive to inaugurate civil SER
vice reform, and placed upon him the
responsibilities of doing so. Under the
authority OF said act convened a board
of gentlemen eminently qualified for
the work to devise rules and regulations
to effect the needed reform. Their Ia
bors are not yet completed, but it is be-
lieved that they will succeed in devising
plan which can be adopted to the great
relief of the Executive, the heads of de-
partments and members of Congress,
and which will rebound to the true in
terest of the public service. At all
events the experiment shall have a fair
trial.

operations of the Government dGring the

MORMON QUESTION.
In Utah there still remains rem
nant of barbarism, repugnant tc
civilization, to decency, and to the
laws of the United States. Terri
torial officers, however, have been
found who are willing to perform
their duty in q spirit of equality
and with due sense of sustaining
the majesty of the law. -s..
1t is not with the religion Of
the self-styled Saints, that we are
now dealing, but with their practic-
es. 1t may be advisable for Congress
to consider what, in the execution
of the laws against polygamy, is to
be the status of the plurality wives
and their off spring. The propriety
of Congress passing an enabling act
authorizing the territorial legisla-
ture Of Utah to legitimatize all chill
dren born prior to time fixed in
the act, might be justified by its hu-
manity to the innocent children.

A Pleasant Reunion.

We are pleased to find, in the Kendall
vile 1ndiana Standard of the thirtieth
ultimo, an account of the annual reunion of
the One Hundred and Twenty-ninth Regi-
ment Indiana Volunteers, which took place
on the twenty-ninth. Colonel Case left
this city about two months ago for Fort
Wayne, being at the time afflicted with an
affection of the eyes, which threatened loss
of his sense of seeing. The colonel writes
us that he is yet nearly blind, and writes
by guess. We sincerely hope that he may
yet be fully restored to health, for he is
one of the men who are needed here. The
following is the Standards account:
The annual reunion of the One Hundred
and Twenty-ninth Regiment Indiana Vol
nnteers was held in this city on yesterday,
the twenty-ninth, it being the largest one
ever held. Hon. Charles Case delivered an
address to the members and public in the
evening, but owing to the fact OF the short
notice, the audience was not very large.
Had the citizens generally known that
Charles Case was going to speak, the hall
would have been filed to overhowing. He
gave brief account of his connection with
the regiment as its colonel, and paid a
glowing tribute to the bravery of the One
Hundred and Twenty-ninth at their first
battle fought at Resaca. He closed by ex-
horting them to be true men, and do their
duty in the peaceful avocations Of life as
they always had in the army. He was
listened to by all with the deepest atten-
ton. The Albion band discoursed some
very fine music during the day and eve
ming. Captain j. L. knight and gun squad
made the cannon roar in the afternoon as
of old Next year other regiments will be
invited to unite with them. The old soldiers
seemed to enjoy themselves, and the day
passed off very pleasantly. We have not
time to give more extended notice.

The suspended secretary of state.

The Empire Parish Register mentions the
causes which led to the suspension of the
Secretary Of State, Mr.. Bovee, and adds:
Certainly this conduct of Mr.. Bovee in
promulgating an act, and certifying as Sec
rotary of State that under the provisions of
the constitution it had become law, when
he knew that the original copy of the bill,
as enacted by the Legislature was in the
possession of the Governor, and there le-
gally retained, is exceedingly remarkable.
The officer who will thus far transcend the
functions of his office, and does so with an
air of supercilious arrogance, in defiance of
law, not only merits public Reproduction, but
forfeits all right and claim to position of
honor and trust.
And to this act incorporating the Crescent
City Waterworbs, aud which Mr.. Bovee has
attempted to impose upon the people as a
law, it is one of those legislative monstros-
ties which have too frequently crept in of
late upon the statute book The character
of this act makes the conduct of Mr.. Bovee,
as high official, the more vulnerable to
criticism, if it does not awaken an odious
suspicion. The act is simply intended to
plumber New Orleans, and give into the
possession of set of legalized swindlers the
most valuable property, with it's immense
revenues, which the city owns.
