CIVIL RIGHTS.
How the Georgia Minstrels Are
Being Waxed.
A Mutiny Among the Topeka
Servant Girls.
lLeavenworth Times, Nay 10


The original Georgia Ministries,
billed for q performance here next
week, are having a bitter experience
in the surrounding towns. 1t seems
they travel on their dignity, with
their heads among the clouds and
are altogether too high-tOned for the
civil rights atmosphere of Kansas.
1t was ut Atchison the trouble first
commenced. A Mr.. Irvine, whose
color is like unto that of the min
strels themselves, went to the agent
of the minstrel company to pur-
chase a ticket for a reserved seat for
his wife. He alleges that he was re-
fused such ticket, and that, too, ON
the ground of his color. This was a
gross insult to the dignity of a col
Ored man, and showed a want of re-
spect for his ministerial character.
To refuse to sell a colOred man, and
he a minister of the gospel and a
politician, a ticket to a place of
amusement was, provided the refu-
sal should come from a white man,
n of the things which the famous
civil rights bill was designed to pre-
vent.
OF course Mr.. Irvine became en-
ragged at once, got out an attach
ment on the instruments and bag
gage of the minstrel company, and
is determined that the insult to his
color shall be healed with a goOdly
sum of greenbacks. 1t remains to
be seen how much damage will be
awarded a minister's wife for not
allowing her a reserved seat at the
minstrel show.
Leaving Atchison the Minstrels
dropped down upon Topeka and
put up at the Tem House, where a
knowle lge of their Atchison trans
action had preceded them. The
Commonwealth says: Upon learn
ing of the presence of the distin-
guished strangers the corps of din
ing room girls at the hotel informed
the steward that they would not wait
on the MINISTRIES at the table. This
unpleasant bit of information was
communicated by the stewart to
MI. Williams, n of the proprie-
tors, who interviewed the high
toned dOmestics, and informed them
that he would pay each of them a
dollar extra if they would take and
fill orders for the Ministries the same
as for the whole guests, and that he
would deduct one dollar from the
salary of each girl who failed to
put in an appearance at the dinner
table.
The hour for dinner arrived, and
the Ministries took their seats in the
dining room, unbuttOned their
~waistcoats, and prepared themselves
for a much-coveted square meal.
But the walters were missing, being
unwilling to sacrifice so much prin-
ciple for so little money. What
was a paltry dollar to them, weigh
ed in the balance with the accumu-
lated prejudice of years? Absolute
ly nothing, and they determined to
fight it out on that line if they
never made another dollar in the
world.
The result was what might have
been expected; the girls all united
in an insurrection, with the eXcep-
ton of two, and for a while matters
were very lively in every part of
the house, except the table, where
the Georgians sat patiently waiting
for somebody to bring on some mac
arOni and vegetables.
The excessively conscientious in
terpreters of the daily bill of fare
were finally discharged in a body
and other assistance obtained.

ACCORDING to our Washington
advices the House Committee on
Postofices and Post roads, have
agreed to recommend the enact
ment of a law which shall require
payment on all newspapers and pc
riodicals at the Office of publication.
If this bill becomes a law il will en-
tail much hardship upon publishers,
especially i'm the smaller towns and
cities.

FROM the Congressional Record
Of last Thursday, We CLEAN that
Senator Hitchcock, from the Com
mittee on Territories, reported a
bill transferring to the territorial
authorities the control of peniten-
tiaries located within their limits.
Heretofore, if we mistake not, these
institutions were managed by fed
eral officers.

Vlewed by a New York Herald re-
porter for his views of the Arkansas

made the first free State speech eyer
made in Arkansas, but that after
TIA the largest powers were given
70 the Governor, and a despotism
mas since been organized. He
knows Baxter very well, and saws
that he is an honest man and means

Brooks.

Hon. JOHN MORRIssEY behaved
himself while in Congress, but he is
at his old prize-ring tricks in New

the statesman such names as

to improve Johns morals Is TO send
him back to Congress.

Maricopa County School Affairs.

JudgeJ. T. Alsap, eX-officio superinten- dent of public schools in Maricopa coun- ty, on December ,, sent his annual report to Gov. Stafford, in pursuance of law. The report makes a very encouraging showing, from which we learn that 47 children have attended public and 20 private school dur- ing the year, and that the average daily attendance at public school was g. The private school only commenced in No- vember, and therefore no particulars of progress reported, bat the advancement made in the public school is put down as excellent" A female teacher at $l00 per month has taught in the public school, and the private school is by male teach CT who charges 5 per scholar per month. The public school has been maintained eight months this year. The text books used are Pacific Coast readers and spell CTS; Montieth's geography; Browns gram mar; Thompson'S arithmetic. The valua- ton Of the school-houses and furniture is s3O0O. In district No. l (PheniX), the school house is 20X30 feet, and that in No. ? (Mes- quite), 1SX24. The amount of money re- ceived from the Territory $S54.36, and from county SS674l. Amount paid teachers SS64; for houses and furniture S4S9; for school books S140; for salaries of superin- tendent and census marshalS SlS0; for oth- CT expenses Sl6.S7-total paid out Sl7I9.l2, leaving on hand S275. Probable receipts from Territory and county for 1875, are es- timated at SI2O0, and amount needed for the year at SlS0O
 Superintendent Alsap adds the follow ing to the statistical part of his report:
 1 can scarcely suggest any improve mentS in the present school law that would be practicable at the present time. It has worked well-much better than its friends expected in the beginning, and it is perhaps better to |" let well enough alone" There is always some difficulty, however, in getting school boards to act, and it may be that if the entire school af- fairs of county were placed in the hands of one man-at any rate the mOnied DOT ton of them-it would work better. But no one man would take this charge for nothing, and the school fund is not large and cannot well afford to pay any more.
 The people have supported me well in my efforts to promote education in this county, and 1 feel bound to say here that without their strong support and coopera- tion, should not have succeeded as well as l have done ill establishing good school at this place. J. T. ALSAP,

Circumstances Alter Cases.

The case of the Territory vs c. V. Moore came up for hearing Tuesday of this week. Here is an abstract from the court record as it stands approved:
 John Titus, Esq, appearing as counsel for the prisoner Moore, the court remarked that 1t supposed the same order would be entered in this case as in the case of the Territory VS. Joseph T. Holmes, Mr. Hughes, tue district attorney, and Judge Titus, counsel for the defense, being part nerS. WhereupOn Judge Titus rose and declared to the court that it was mistake 10 suppose that he and NIT. Hughes were law partners in any sense; whereupon the court inquired if they had not some little time ago been partners? To which Judge Titus replied they had not; that they were not now and never had been part nerS. The district attorney made d state ment to the court to the same effect. where upon the case was allowed to proceed with the district attorney as counsel for the prosecution.
 We have letter Of date August :, 1874, written and signed by "John Titus D and addressed to s. W. Foreman, Esq, (said letter being sent to San Francisco, there held for postage, then sent to Foreman and by the latter returned to us), in which reference is made to THE CITIZENS course regarding the business developments con- nected with the reduction Of the White Mountain reservation, in which "John Titus" says to Mir. Foreman:
 Before this can be received, THE ARIZo- MA CITIZEN if it reaches you regularly will bring information of the infamous attack made indirectly on me, by the di- rect attack made on my partner L. c. Hughes.
 We ask all to compare Titus statement in court with this extract from let ter written by himself, and which letter any one may see upon application. From the outrageously false insinuations and charges contained in said letter, that about NIT. l.. c. Hughes being his partner, may also be false. As the matter has de- veloped itself, we don't wonder that dis trict attorney Hughes declared to the court that no partnership existed between him. self and Titus.
