Protest against q Protest.

The co;ored members of the General Assembly
became indignant yesterday afternoon at the
passage of the resolutions protesting against the
passage by Congress Of the civil rights bill, and
they held n conference and. appointed lessrs.
Stevens and Evans, Of the Senate, and Jonea,
Brady and Goodwin, OF the House, to draft q
protest. They propose 10 enter their SOLEMN
protest against the protest OF the two houses OF
The General Assembly Of Virginia. For the pur-
pose of bearing such paper to Washington.
Messrs. Stevens and Evans, of the Senate, and
Carter, Goodwin and Harris, OF the House, were
appointed COMMITTEES. These individuals, who
received their free tickets the railroads several
days ago. were expected TO leave By last nights
tram. In the Senate, Mr.. Edgar Allan, Of Prince
Edward, was the only member who voted against
tho resolutions. .-t ts5l..
1t is understood that the greater number Of
the white Republican members Of the Legislature
do not coincide with the extreme equal rights
views expressed in the colored memberS remon-
strancs aganst legislative protest. II 10 probable
that they will introduce simultaneously in both
houses this morning, resolutions favoftng the
proposed supplementary civil rights bill, II 1t can
be so amended rs not to compel mixed schools.
They regard the bill, as at present shaped, as cal
cuated to do incalcuable injury in this respect to
the colored people, and likely to prove destructive
to the free school system OF Vireinia. And they
argue that the sentiment of the Repub blican party,
as pronounced in the speeches of Col. Robert w.
Hughes, candidate fer Governor, and nearly all
the prominent speakers Of the party in the last
campaign,i is against mixed schools, Richmond
Enquirer. (..

Recent experience proves that The Navy is about
useless, and unless better managed that We had
better be without il. and save the expense. In
that case we might charter few vessels and pre-
pare test we could in emergencies, Since we

mneh as they do now from the raids of the Indian
ssyages. \ comparison of the cost of The Eng
iish Army and that Of our own shows that our
military establishment ia donble rs expensive in
proportion, as Is shown hy the following which
we copy from ono Of our exchange
at has been asceI tlnei thai while the British
Army costs annually S545 per man, ours costs
$3.50 per man. Orr single military school, West
Point, costs sS3SS5l per annum; The sir military
schools in Great Britain cost secs, 500. Our sub
sistence department costs S2,299,550 for 32,0e0
men, the British costs s3,0l5,9 5,9s5 for 12S,0oo men.
QuarteImastor expenses for our aroy are Sl5,

are Slo,C0o,G0o. The British estimate for trans

same estimate for our army is IS 500 009 Our es-
innate for clothing Is 81, $4,000 the British is

establishment Is more than twice as costly per

that it is good deal mere expensive than it need

PBLcH BoTToN kAILwAY.--The Peach Bottom
railway will in a short time have thirty miles OF
grading and bridging finished ready for the Iron.
1t was the intention last fall to finish the road for
travel, some twenty-five miles from York, down
but the panic came and the work was delayed for
the present season. In the spring the work will
no doubt be taken up md speedily completed.
The delay has been of vast benefit to the future
success Of our new railroad. The panic has caused
the price of inateriai to fall very much. The re.
duction on rails at this time would amount to $50
a ton, which 10 itself wouId save the company
SAC, 900 and the declinen rolling stock Is twenty
Ave per cent, 30 the difference between what 40
would have cost last fall to buy rails and rolling
stock would save our f50000 capital Jan amount
