"a Bill to Prevent Panics.o

One of the ablest and most practical
speeches made in Congress the present ses-
sion upon the great question of finance and
currency was delivered on the 10th instant
by the Hon. Moses w. Field, of the FIRST
Congressional District of Michigan. And
one Of the most sensible propositions to avert
hereafter the calamity through which the
country is now passing, is his bill entitled
"An act to preUent financial panics, emancipate
labor, and promote the prosperity of the people. {"
Mr.. Field is a merchant of Detroit. who
has won his way to fortune and honor bv his
own energy, ability, and integrity, aided only
by rare business tact, sound judgment, right
principles. Though extensively engaged in
mercantile pursuits, he has found time to de-
vote much thought and study TO the subject
Of political economy, and probably few men
in Congress have arrived at clearer and
sounder views upon the various questions
with this science. His inyestiea-
tons have led him 10 espouse the doctrine
Of protection to our own industry and labor.
- we'll a. to the conclusions embodied in tho
bill to which we have referred, and his speech
In defence of them.
We have stated the general pur pose of Mr..
Fislds' bill to Be to prevent fnan cial panics
emancipate labor, and to promote

GsD~ One of the cantins hypocrtes con-
nected with the African Colonization Society
preached last Sunday in Methodist church
in this city; though processing a desire fo.,
the upbuilding Of the African race, he had no
word to cheer on the descendants of thai
race in this country in their efforts to ACQUIRE
of the intelligence and enlightenment SUI
rounding them. For a negro to enter the
church in which this colonization divine held
forth would be the signal for its Christian
members to show by their contemptuous
manner that they failed to believe that God
made Of one blood all nations, and the negro
would--if allowed to rcmain-be tucked
away in a corner as near the beltrv as pos
sble.

Though Congress has done what it law.
fully can to allay the agony with which the
shack pay grab" has covered all ''liberal" and
copper head patriots the Detroit Post reminds
item of the fact that President Warrington
signed back-pay salary grab bill in 1889.
II provided increased back-pay for Congress-
men running back six months and-a-half
President Monroe signed back pay salary
grab bill for Congress, which gave increased
back-pay for over one year. in 1916. He
signed another of the same sort in 1918.
President Buchanan signed back.pay sal
airy grab, which gave Congressman back.
pay for year and-a-half, in 1856. Presi-
dent Lincoln signed a back-pay salary grab,
giving congressman increased back-pay for a
year and-a-half, in 1866. Those journals
which have violently abused President Grant
for signing back pay salary bill, and talked
loudly about the superior virtue Of the fathers
Of the Republic, and "the good old times" of
honesty and economy, have shown their ig-
norance of American history. Grant, and
Washington, and Lincoln and Monroe, and
Buchanan, are all in the same boat In this
matter. A little less violence of denunci.
alton, and more truth and knowledge, on the
part of many public journals, would greatly
enhance the proper influence of the public
press. The present salary grab is properly
because it was extravagant and
unjust; and because the average Congress
mans services are not worth over i've
dollars a year at the most. But
assailing the President, and all who had
anything to do with this law - villains and
men, is ridiculous.

Back Seats for the People.

If the men who have been elevated to office
by the votes of the Republican party believe
that party any more patriotic and honest
than the party which opposed their election,
and fought four years to destroy the Govern
ment, is it not their duty to adopt every
means in their power to secure its continued
success, and to avoid every thing that may
endanger it? And in what way can they
more efiectually accomplish its ruin and the
restoration Of the Government to the hands
of its worst and most dangerous enemies,
than by telling the Republican masses that
it is no merit in them to have saved the life
of the nation by their blood, and money, and
countless other sacrifices, much less by their
votes, to have elected to Office men pledged
to the perpetuation of the principles they
supposed they had secured when they had
conquered the rebellion.
This the Administration is doing in placing
Copperheads and malignant traitors on an
equal footing, not only with members of the
Republican party ybo sustained, by their
voice and money, ~ Government during
the rebellion, but 81 Gith those who were
disabled for life in the service of the country.
The traitor, Mosby, and Stephens, and Cor
don, and every rebel soldier stands quite as
good, if not better, chance for Government
favors than manned and disabled Union pat
riots, provided they are a little more skillful
in answering civil service conundrums.
Republicans holding high and responsible
positions in the Government, and controlling
its administration, practically say to the men
whose votes placed them where they are
''Stand aside, gentlemen the day for reward
ing men for party services and party fidelity
has gone by. It's true we have been elected
a. politicians by politicians, but we can no
longer tolerate such demoralizing principle.
We have got all we expect or want from
you, and no thanks to any one. We are now
in favor of reform in this matter"
Everybody below the President and his
Cabinet, Judges of the Courts, Foreign Min
listers, members of Congress, and few other
high dignitaries, however much he may have
suffered in defence Of the Union, no matter
what services he may have rendered the
country in any capacity, and regardless of
his high character, his talents, or his princi-
Piles, must enter into competition with the
very men to whose treason he owes, perhaps,
the loss of limb, the death of father,
brother, or son, or the destruction of his
property.
The people are expected to elect Repub-
liean President and Republican Congress,
and that is all is wanted of them. If they
ask for post Office, a position in the CUSTOM
house. clerkship in Washington, or any
other subordinate position, they are told that
they must go into scramble, on equal terms,
with the Virus, the Winder's, the Forests,
and other traitors of the rebellion, with the
chances largely against them.

The Miner ! ..ailutlon.

Several years before the war Miss Myr-
tilla Miner opened . school for colored youth
in this city. She met with violent oppose
ton, and even the Mayor (Mr. Lenox) ad.
vised her to close her school for fear of q
mob. Miss Miner gave no heed to Mayors
or mobs, but persisted in teaching such
scholars as dared to attend. So Jealous was
she in this work that she appealed to friends
of equal rights in Philadelphia and New
York for help. She raised in this way about
four thousand dollars in money, with which
she bought piece of ground, with small
house, where she kept her school for some
time comparatively unmolested. At length
she sickened and died. The property passed
into the hands of corporation created by
Congress, under the name of "THR INsTI-
TUITION FOR THE EDUCATION OF CoIoRED
YOUTH"
This corporation, or institution, sold the
real estate for about ten times its cost. This,
with some other resources, gives to the In
stitution an invested fund of about $43, 900.
The income is now devoted to the support
of the Normal Department of Howard Uni
versity
The 10Th annual meeting of the Institu-
ton was held at the house of Mrs. johnson,
SOC Twelfth street, on the 9Th of January,
1874. The following Executive Committee
was chosen: Mrs. Nancy M. johnson, presi-
dent; George E Baker, secretary; Francis
George Shaw, treasurer; John NJ. Langston,
J. M. Blanchard, Sayles J. Bowen, Walker
Lewis, Rev. c. H. Fay.
The reports of the Secretary and treasurer
show the income of the past year from in
teresD to have been s2,7s5.2O, and the ex-
pendtures (salaries,) a2,0SO. The expend-
itures are exclusively for salaries of the
principal and te achers in the Normal Depart
ment; the Institution having no other ex-
penses and owing no debts. The committee
on the normal school reported it to be in a
good condition and we'll conducted.
Resolutions of respect for the memory of
Hon. John c. Underwood, the late president
of the institution, and of coincidence with
his family, were unanimously adopted.
Letters were received from Francis George
Shaw, treasurer S. J. Bowen, of the COM
mittee; and James Whitall, corporator, re-
signing their Offices, which were laid on the
table.
The monthly appropriation for the Nor
NAL Department was increased from $24O to
$500.
The aim Of the Institution is to ft colored
youth for the profession of teachers.
