TO bring the negro question once
more into undesirable prominence. Fruit
less for any other good purpose as
the recent financial discussions have been,
they have at least fixed and concentrated pub
lie attention upon different order of ques-
tons from those which have convulsed the
country for the last fifteen years.
The present tendency of Southern State
legislation is to provide equal advantages of
elementary education for both races in sepa-
rate schools The negroes cannot complain
that their children are not instructed, nor that
the instruction offered them is Inferior but
only that they are not permitted to receive it
on the same benches with white children.
In the Northern States, where there are few
negroes, this bill will have no perceptble
effect If negro children are sent to schools
where their presence is distasteful they will
be SO Inundated by the insults of the white
children as to make their attendance intolera-
BILE. Even at West Point where the school is
under military discipline, one or two negro
students have been tormented by white inso-
lence almost beyond endurance, and it would
be utterly impossible to repress such nantes
tations in an ordinary common school.
The negro claim to social equality is not
natural, but forced growth. The negroes
can rise in the social scale only by industry,
thrift and intelligence-the true sources of
prosperity and consideration. When people
of the white race have succeeded in acquiring
property they begin to thirst for social con-
sideration but this species of ambition is
seldom exhibited by whites who have risen no
higher in the scale of prosperity than the mass
of our negroes. If the political patrons and
pretended friends of these unhappy people
were to give them sound advice, its purport
would be to strive to secure respect by their
industry and their virtues and to disarm
prejudice by quiet diligence in their honest
callings. The laws have already done for
them all that mere law can accomplish and
the political agitators who feed them with
false hopes are their worst enemies.

The MEMORY OF ELLSWORTH, the gallant
young soldier who lost his life at Alexandria
in the first days of the war, was suitably hon.
ored by the unwilling of the monument at
Mechanicsville yesterday with appropriate
ceremonies. In such tributes as this we see
no partisan rejoicing, but only the proper duty
of patriotism, which would keep green the
memory of the young heroes who SO gladly
gave up their lives for their country in the
hour of its trial
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1874-05-28

We copy from Charleston journal one Of
the most painful stories we have read since the
war. In single county in South Carolina
there had been public sale of property which
had not paid its taxes. Within Eve days
twenty-nine hundred pieces of real estate had
been thus sold. In other words the owners
of twenty-nine hundred farms and homesteads
are so poor that they cannot pay their taxes,
and SO submit to confscation. Surely there
must be cause for this-a cause, the exist
snce of which is sin and shame. We say
nothing of the scenes of devastation inflicted
upon the Carolinas by Shermans army upon
the fact that the army was virtually permitted
to pillage the State which generated secession
and was the home and grave of Calhoun. Let
history pass upon that as it may We pass it as
one OF those dark memories which we would
gladly forget But here is q case for which
no war necessity can be pleaded. South Caro-
lima has been governed 30 wantonly, with such
total disregard Of public rights and private
security, that she sinks into inanition, that
liberty, comfort and the pursuit Of happiness
seem to be impossible. The single incident
thus recorded Eliminates the whole Southern
situation and dishonors the administration of
General Grant When he accepted the Presi-
dency his yearning was for peace. But can
there be peace with q government which
amounts to confscation2

The Board or Apportionment and the
City Taxation.

The Board OF Apportionment and the
City Taxation.
The revised estimates of the several city
departments are now in the Comptroller
hands, and there should be no delay in the
action of the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment upon them. The law authorizing
the revision requires that the new estimate
shall be made by July l. Before final action
is taken by the Board the figures should be
Land before the people, SO that the taxpayers
may learn whether proper reductions have
been made in the expenses of the city govern
ment 1t is not desirable that any necessary
work of public improvement should be
stopped or embarrassed through mistaken
economy; but it is essential that all expendi-
lures not demanded by the public interests
should be postponed until the Treasury is in
better condition.
The Board of Estimate and Apportionment
is one of the most important bodies in the
city government and it has hitherto been
run after sort Of star chamber fashion. Its
action has been mere mechanical indorse-
ment of the orders of the Comptroller. The
remaining members of the Board seem to have
been machines, without opinions OF their own
or independence of action. 1t is about time that
this blind subserviency should cease. Each
member is directly responsible for every act
done by the Board, for the votes are mainly
required to be concurrent Mr.. Wheeler, the
President Of the Department of Taxes and As
sessments, and Mr.. Vance, the President of the
Board of Aldermen, have, therefore, as much
responsibility as Mr.. Green and his venerable
assistant the Mayor. It is their duty to as
certain that an appropriation is proper to be
made, or that there is occasion for the issue of
new bonds and stock, before they vote in its
favor. In the revision of the city and county
estimate they should insist upon publicity
being given to the proceedings of the Board,
and should vote on every question connected
with the important subject on their own judg-
ment. and not on the judgment or at the die
tation of any associate The proposed expen-
ditures of every department should be closely
scrutinized and economical, while at the same
time, as we have said, the necessary works of
public improvement should not be embar-
rassed We have been promised large reduc-
ton in the rate of taxation as the result of the
reopening of the estimate, but care should be
taken that the reduction is not secured simply
by the ''bridging over process, and that the
public interests are not made to suffer for the
sake of false appearance Of economy.

The SANBogN DEBATE FINISHED. The pub
lie had become weary Of the Sanborn scandal
and the debate on it in Congress. Yesterday
the debate was ended, and the bill repeating
the law on which the contracts were based
was passed. There was, however, an amend
ment adopted, that Of Mr.. Beck, which has
some significance. BY this members of Con-
gress are prohibited from acting as attorneys
for claims pending in the several departments
of the government. If this should become law
and be faithfully observed good deal Of cor
ruption and lobbying will be checked.

Drivers.
As the strike Of the stage drivers comes
very near to the public convenience general
interest is excited in it not proportionate
to its importance from any other point of
view, and the discussion over it takes in
the necessity of the very existence of the ON
nibus lines. Certainly Broadway is great
deal better without them. Seven hundred
numbering, clumsy, slow-going vehicles, that
go down Broadway dozen times day and
up it dozen times day, are themselves
almost enough to fill and occupy good street,
but when they are added to an already great
traffic we see good reason why the street
should 80 often become absolutely blocked.
Some years nearer to the millennium than
we are now, we may be able to have
in the city government such supervision
of affairs relating to the public interest as
will limit the number of licensed vehicles
with regard to the capacity of the streets.
Since the strike has called attention to the
relief that the retiring of all omnibuses would
be to Broadway people are naturally led to
discuss the point whether the convenience of
the omnibuses and their general utility to the
public are equivalents for the jams they so
frequently cause, and it is pretty general
opinion that they are not In pointing this
lesson the strikers have been of some little
use to the public but they are not likely to be
of much use to themselves. Apparently their
strike was repetition Of an error very COM
mon with many strikers-they forgot that
it is only in skilled labor that the
withdrawal Of service can do permanent
or considerable harm. Some skill is required
to drive an omnibus, but it is skill of kind
that is tolerably common in this country. To
be able to drive team and keep an eye on
the pedestrian public at the same time, and
count out fare or only pull the string that
drops coin into the box, cannot be supposed
to call for great skill or long special expert
ence; and as there are doubtless now many
thousands of persons out Of employment who
can drive tolerably we'll the more important
part Of the knowledge is ready to start with.
No doubt the owners would rather have the
experienced men at the same wages; but if
the men hold out it seems probable that their
places will be supplied by others.

Congress for admission into the Union as
State for SO long time that it is not sur
prising the Committee on Territories of the
House is persuaded to report favorably on the
measure. But Colorado is in too much haste.
She does not need State government and
the country can get along very we'll without
the two Senators and the Representative she
would send to Congress. Admission into the
Union is not necessary to the development OF
her resources, and State government would
be only burden upon the people. Nobody
would be benefited either in Colorado or out

the propriety Of permitting the ambitious Ter.

terminated yesterday in verdict for the plain
tiff, Mrs. Brinckley. The point involved in
the case is one of importance. The jury be-

ceremony was not solemnized under any of
the legal and accepted forms, it was neverthe-
less valid marriage.

Important Application OF Agri
cultural Science.

important Application OF Agri.
cultural Science.
A new and most important application Of .
waste product in the practical processes Of
agricultural chemistry, has been recently pro-
posed bya foreign engineer In the manu-
featuring and coal consuming districts of
Great Britain the enormous profits derivable
from the utilization of Stag, coal ashes and
the refuse of minerals after passing through
the furnace, have been within few years much
discussed The so-called volcanic stone."
manufactured from Stag and hydraulic lime,
has been demonstrated to be one of the cheap
est and most durable building materials. But
now the far more economic and valuable use
OF the same waste matter for enriching the
soil has been pressed upon public attention.
The great chemist, iebig. long ago sug-
gested the important part silicates, in solu-
BILE form. would play in the economy of
plants, and silica abounds in all the
Stag products. Lands otherwise highly
improved and fertiIzed, but lacking in
the one ingredient Of soluble silica,
may produce fine crops of wheat,
but the straw is found to be too
weak to sustain the ears, and whole fields
of grain are thus easily Frustrated by the sum-
mer storms The free use of disintegrated
Stag which supplies silica to the straw and
hardens and strengthens it, enables the
golden harvest to resist the tempest. 1t has
been observed that in the midst of fields in
which the grain has generally succumbed to
the blast patches in which the ground had
been fertilized with the siicious refuse of
brick burning stood erect with their ll-flled
West, whose wheat harvests are the main sup
ply Of food for many millions besides the home
consumer, the application of this discovery
may prove of the greatest benefit and largely
add to the total annual yield Of the grain
growing States The process Of disintegrating
the Stag, so as to render it soluble, by run
ming it into water while in q
fluid state, appears to be inexpensive.
And as the porous soluble fertilizer that
results is rich in lime double purpose is
served, which would justify considerable ex-
penditure in preparing it for the agricultural
market The utility Of this important chemi-
cal compound will probably be felt in the
sugar-cane regions, where silicious fertilizers
are in SO great demand, and where it is often
necessary to burn the standing stripped cane
for the sake of restoring vigor to the exhausted
soil. .......sts.
Science has great work to do in transmit
ing the waste and refuse materials, elements
of pollution, into sources of economy and
wealth. The utilization of the sewage Of
our great cities, for agricultural ends, has viz
not the same success, by patient experiment, is
obtainable in the case Of many other waste
products, which, in ignorance Of their value,
we suffer to defle our streets, pollute our
rivers and faint the air we breathe.

The HERALD recently asked if we could not
do something to relieve the burdens of the
South something more than to sing hymns
and strew flowers over Confederate graves on
Decoration Day?" To this question the Bur-
lington Gazette, Of Iowa, answers that to do
this we must change the policy of the govern
ment, "by throwing out of power the corrupt
men now ruling the affairs Of the South would
at once begin to brighten"

The fiat has gone forth and the law has
passed that henceforth oil unmuzzled dogs
found in the streets will suffer capital punish
ment at the hands of the authorities, and not
all the tears of the Society for the Prevention
Of Cruelty to Animals will save them. The
new law requires that the head Of each dog
shall be encased in wire muzzle, so as not to
leave any opportunity for the canine prisoner
to exercise his biting proclivities, and fine
will be exacted from the owner in any case
where this ordinance is violated. In our
crowded streets we can dispense with CANNES
which are inclined at times to lunch of the
leg of a passer by, and from the petted spaniel
Of the belle of Broadway to the vicious cur
which acknowledges some beetle-browed rough
as master, there is every reason to enforce the
wearing of the wire muzzle. But what says
the tender-hearted Bergh to this curtailment
of the liberty Of portion Of his flock? He
will pc rhaps, feel as if the Mayor and Alder
men had put wire muzzle with a paddock On
him. We may look for q proclamation on
this subject on any day, document that will
make the dog-muzzlers tremble.
