THE APPROPRIATION BILL,

President Grant has called attention to
the great embarrassment occasioned the
executive by including in one bill all the
money bills of whole session. The ex-
ecutive is compelled to legaHze items
which he does not approve or arrest ap-
priations indispensable to the operations
of the government. The new constitution
of Ohio will allow the executive of that
State to veto Objectionable items without
prejudice to others which he may approve.
Very great exception has been taken in
Congress to the Incorporation of all
the money appropriations of q season
into one bill to be passed upon at
the last night Of the session. These Oh
jections have heretofore been made with
out imputing fraud to the advocates of
these copgl0meyate bills, When, how.

THE PRISONERS OF STATE.

| We never saw any man bet high enough
to satisfy the-bystanders. Our Fusicr
editors, who dine gaily at Johns, or pre-
pare to go North or even beyond the seas
as soon as the genial seasons will permit
continue to exhort the unhappy prisoners
charged with the Grant parish murders te
stand up heroically to the rack. We dc
not say this is done by a proclamation
addressed to these prisoners, but when
one communist sheet insists that there is
no law in Louisiana, and another justifes
our hlgh-spirited young men to take life
upon such prorocation as may seem to
them adequate, the prisoners can only
sustain their character as high-spirited
martyrs by bearing their imprisonment
phllosophically, and subsisting upon
dramatic benefits until their friends shall
! assemble at the close of the season to wit
| ness another trial or mistrial, as the case
may be. Ii this case be continued, or even
If another batch Of prisoners shall sue

merican citizens gazing at the celebra-
ton OF freedoms natal DAY through the

efuse to demolish that bastile ard hang
up the key at the tomb of Washington
wo uld deserve the excavation of all friends
of freedom. But how stand the State pris-
one rs on this subject? They have borne
the pain and deprivation. Upon them will
have fallen the shadow Of a possible death
in public ignominy. During the long
hot months they will saunter through the
prison courts, or swelter in the cells. The
politicians may be expatiating upon the
horrors Of their imprisonment, and this
even over Saratoga julep, imbibed
through straw, coated with the rime of
ice and wearing the green Of mint Just
contrast these pictures. In those days of
Damon and Pythias, and the Horatii and
Curatii, brothers in faith or in blood were
at all times ready to 60 to prison and even
70 death in each others places. Jailors
were then so confding that they would
take gentleman's parole, even if he were
under death sentence, that he would re-
turn on given date to undergo the SEN

If our day would volunteer to serve a
week eac as the substitute, so as to let |

ouching renewal of the chivalry of past
ges. Until then We shall regard this
opposition to the law and

risoners to dare the most terrible extent

make capital out OF the sufferincs Of mis-

OF giving just and intelligent considera
ton to pending measure, in become.
complicated with suspicious incidents, il
becomes even more incumbent on Leg
islature to protect itself from the proba.
blhty OF injustice or the possibility Of
reproach. ,r
This may be effected by enacting money
bills like others at any period of the ses-
sion, and enacting by rule that no appro-
prlation shall even under a suspension Of
the constitutional rule, be introduced,
within nine days before the constitutional
adjournment of the Legislature. Bills
appropriating public money might be
made to take effect from the date of ad-
]ournment, they would be subjected to
scrutiny before signature and any sus-
picious features connected with them
might be investigated without detriment
to their patrons or to the public.
The distribution of these money bills
throughout the session would diminish
the volume of business which now &C.
cumulates at the last day. For this last
day is naturally one on which deliberate
legislation is difficult. Members are in
and out Of committee rooms; they are
called out by those who they can not dis
obilge; there are always members anxious
to get off on the morning cars, and they
must settle their business and make pur-
chases before leaving. Then there is an
inevitable hilarity on breaking up, with
many parting glass, so that pardoning
to social habit, what we may not even care
to reform, the last day of legislature
is like the last day before an ocean
steamer sails-not day of quiet or
contemplation. If in such scenes doubt
prevail on division; if there be ques-
tionable quorum; if the Speaker makes
ruling inaudible in the din, there is
great risk that something may be set |
down in the wrong column, either as
passed or defeated. We make no COM
ment on the great latitude given to the
clerical officers, or even the Speaker, nor
to the great liability of each to be mis-
taken in such confusion Of tongues and
charge Of members present.
The adoption of such rule as has been
would correct all this. Bills of
Importance would be reached and decided
With deliberation, and those which were
eft to the closing scenes, however turbu-
ent those scenes might be, would afford
ess opportunities of mistakes or of decep-
ion. One not the least good effect of this
etorm would be that the mouths OF polit-
cal opponents would be closed from i'm
'uting fraud to the legislative majority,
nd the Legislature would be judged not
