CONGRESS IN BRIEF.

WASHINGTON, February z.
The Senate was occupied to-day with the
consideration of the bill for the distribution Of
the Geneva award.
Howe, from the committee on claims, made
an elaborate report upon the Presidents veto
message on the bill to relieve J. Milton Best,
whose property at Paducah, Kentucky, was
destroyed Tor war purposes. The report rec
commended the passage Of the bill over the
veto.
The message asserts, as general principle
of both international and municipal law, that
taken by the government for public uses, In
which case, under the constitution OF the
United States, the owner Is entitled to Just
compensation, but also subject to be tempora-
rily occupied, or even actually destroyed, IN
times of great personal danger, when Inc
public safety demands It. And IN this latter
case governments do not admit the oDngauon
to compensate the owner.
The committee, taking Issue with the Presi-
dent say they have not found any sron gen.
eral principle affirmed, either In international
or municipal law, but have found the very re-
verse to be affirmed by all law, both Inter
national and municipal. They quote nume-
rous legal authorities, and several congress
sIonal precedents, In support of their View.
In reply to the Presidents caution, that the
PAYMENT OF this claim would invite the
presentation of demands for payment for
unavoidable destruction OF property oy tho
army, they say the act for the relief OF Dr.:
Best does not provide for the payment OF
property unavoidably destroyed-on the con.
trary, it clearly dlscrlmnates agalnet and dis
claims liability Tor suon payment 10 review.
Ing the reasons of the President for the veto,
the committee admit that In some sense the
destruction was through the ravages OF war;
but, 10 their opinion, the house taken from
the claimant was for the use Of the govern.
ment.
The international copyright bill was reported
on unfaVorably.
The bill relieving certain persons In Georgia
aud other Southern States OF political dlsaoll-
Ties was taken up and amended 40 a. TO IN.
clude some additional names. Flanagan, Of
Texas, moved to insert the name OF, JEFF
ferson Davis, saying that If rebels were to be
relieved 30 freely he wished 10 relieve the
chief one and get on with the business. He
demanded the yeas and nays on his amend
ment, but the vote was not ordered: Tn8
vote was then taken on the bill, which re-
suited ayes, q; nays, Z, no quorum voting.
The Senate then adjourned.

We learn that the gross receipts Of the
Cheraw and Darlington Railroad Company,
from all sources, have increased sixty per
cent. over former report. This Ia certainly
good report, and speaks well for the labors of
It's present supervisor. This, too, argues much

servant, In his earnest efforts to open the
new road from Cheraw 10 Salisbury, which
we learn Mr.. Townsend Is anxious to open by
September next.
The pressure made upon the company for
transport alton and storage has compelled the
presldeqt to adopt some stringent measures
to facilitate business, to wit: The owners OF
goods In all the depots on the Cheraw and
Darlington Railroad must remove them
promptly-and this rule iS especially applica-
BILE to gllano. Besides having limited room
for storing lreights even for The few days that
are necessarily incident to receiving and .ee-

than ten days the agents Will be Instructed to
charge very high rates for storage.

Mixed Schools.

Forced at last to meet the issue, Colonel
Hughes tells us In his Norfolk speech that he
is opposed to mixed schools. Knowing full well
that the negroes are too well drilled to deny
him their votes, let his utterances be what they
may, he can we'll afford to give such an assur-
ance to the white people fthe State. But adj
NIT that such are the views honestly entertain
ed by him, does any intelligent man believe he
could control the Radicals, if once in power P
Ii IS absurd to suppose so for moment. What
has been their action when they were free to
secure the accomplishment of their designs?-
In their convention at Jackson, Mississippi,
last week, they unanimously adopted platform
embodying the principles of mixed schools. The
second resolution was couched In the following
terms: That we recognize no distinctions as
now existing by law in the rights of all the
children of the State to equal privileges, and
to accept such in all public schools, colleges or
universities, and should any of said institutions
of learning deny to any child, on account of
race or color, its equal rights, we pledge our
selves to enforce the said rights by appropriate
legislation and We further pledge ourselves to
the support OF our present institutions of learn
ing and our present educational system, as a.
bove explained"
So, too. in New York, we ind in Brooklyn
the question, Shall colored children be allow
ed to sit in class with white scholars?" has
been submitted to their educational board for
Its decision in way that admits Of nothing
short of a plain. straightforward reply. The
petition, IN which this question is brought up,
deplores the exclusion of colored children from
the common enjoyment of the privilege of at
tending any of the public schools, designating
it as an act of great injustice and tending to
perpetuate the humiliation and degradation of
the race. A member of the board, in support
OF this petition, asserted that there was no long
er distinction between whites and blacks, and
that all the public schools should be conducted
with that principle in view. Already, in
Poughkeepsie, this vexed question has been set
at rest by the admission of two colored pupils
into the public schools, and their classification
the same as the white children.
Friends Of the free schools are you willing to
trust their management to the negroes? Are
you willing to confde this important trust to
the carpet-bag adventurers and such native
whites as are in alliance with them? II not,
see that every friend of the free school system
casts bis vote for Kemper Withers and Daniel.
