The Fee and Salary EsiIi-Ar .oIhe 4
Abortion.

Three years ago Gov. Alcorn sent mes
sage to the Legislature vetoing fee and
salary bill on the ground of its being
L" informal, contradictory of itself, grossly
+" extravagant, unequal, inequitable
:" and especially oppressive to the poor. :"
From that day until this, the subject
has been fruitful ofperplexities. After re-
peated failures, another bill finally passed,
and received the signature Of Governor
Powers 1t was believed to have been al
tered by light fingered experts whose
profession is to hang around the legisla-
ture and earn dishonest living, and
the question of the validity of the meas
ure was brought before the judiciary.
The Supreme court has decided that it
is of no effect; and consequently the law
in force before the reconstruction era,
still regulates the fees and salaries Of pub
lie officials.
The court held that it was legitimate
to go behind the signatures of the presi-
ding officers of the two Houses and of
the approval of the Governor, and as
certain if the bill thus signed was the
one which passed the two Houses. Their
conclusion was that it was not, and that
consequently the pretended law was nolaw
at all. The time that was consumed, and
the money that has been expended on the
measure are thus shown by the court,
to have been thrown away. The old
law, with its crudities, extravaganza and
to the changed times, re-
mains on the statute book So much for
Radical misrule and incompetency.

Some of the Southern newspapers are
publishing a good deal of such rant, as
the following from Raleigh paper:
eve shall insist on the immediate re-
peal of our laws providing for common
schools whenever the Legislature assem-
bles Verify the republican party has
much to answer for. 1t has turned over
the South as far as practicable to horde
of thieves and rascals, and now forces IL
to abolish public schools. Let the white
men of North Carolina who have hereto
fore co operated with that party decide
now whether they can sustain such an
outrage. Will they accept negrolsm, or
will they go with US for the protection OF
the white race and advocate no public
schools rather than mixed schools.
The n. Y. Herald commenting on the
foregoing says:
owe can understand the provocation
under which sentiments of this kind are
expressed. But these are not the senti-
ments which can lead to the results desired
not only by the editor of the Crescent but
by all who wish well to the oppressed
South There is no such issue as ''ne-
groism" and the protection Of the white
race, and whoever inspires it does harm
to negro and white alike. Reconstruction
in the South must come when the good
men of both races understand that they
have a common interest in the peace of
the community, the honesty Of admins
traton and the rescue of the Common
wealths of the South from the fearful
state into which they have fallen. The
contest is not between races, but between
honesty and dishonesty-between patriot
ism and crime.
And in another article, referring to Ger
tain Bourbonistic manifestations the same
journal adds:
Let it be understood that the Demo
Gratis and Republicans are about to fight
over the contests Of 1860 or 1864, and the
Republicans will carry the country, even
with General Grant as candidate for
third term.
''No matter what the Republican smay
have done-and their record is dismal and
appalling enough-the Democratic party
must be reconstructed upon now Princi-
Piles and must find for its leadership new
men before it can win a Presidential can

THE OREGON election took place Mon
day. From reports Glover, Democratic
present incumbent, is reelected Cover
nor by "a small majority, and Williams
Republican, is elected to Congress-
Party lines were ignored" says the dis
patch, thus confirming the statement pre-
viously made of coalition between the
two old parties against the Independents.
Before the election this programme was
foreshadowed by the San Francisco Bull
letin:
1.-The Republicans are content that
Glover shall retain the office of Cover
nor, if their candidate Williams is allow
ed to go to Congress.
Besides contending against this coali-
ton, the Independent leaders loaded
themselves with the dead weight of the
Maine Liquor Law which is enough to
sink any party.

rHE ladies oi Macarthur, il
should be remembered will
hold g festival at the Court
House on Wednesday evening,
June II, for the benefit oi Hor.
toms Cornet Band. This band
is a source OF pride to Near
thur. The band has been or
ganized but a short time, yet
their music is most excellent
In fact, the band has but few
superiOrs and not many equals
in this section of the country
The members seem determined
to excei, having gone 10 large
expense in buying the most ap-
LrIved instruments, and had a
new and elegant band wagon
built. The band practices
every night three or four hours.
1t is under the leadership OF
Henry w. Horton, a young man
who exhibits rare talents as a
musical prodigy, and with con
tinued perseverance, this baud
will be the peer of the besl
bands in the State. You will
get more than the worth OF
your money by gong to the
Court House and hearing it,
next Wednesday.

THERE is no doubt in the
minds OF any person living in
the vicinity but the burning OF
the Barnes Mills bridge was
the WORK of an incendiary.-
The Commissioners, with a
false economy, have refused or
neglected to offer a reward for
the apprehension of the mis-
creant, This virtually says to
incendiarles that they may
burn and destroy the county's
property without fear OF pun
ishment.

Pulaski Lyceum.

We consider this organization one of
the best that was ever gotten up in Pu-
laski. The rolls of the association con-
tain the names of nearly every man in
Pulaski, and the Executive Committee
Is composed of men alive to the impor-
lance of the matter in hand. The con-
stitution provides that no member of the
society shall pay more than two dollars
annually into the treasury, and the OBJ
ject of the committee is to secure a suf-
ticient number Of paying members not
only to secure monthly free lectures, but
to raise surplus sufficient to establish
a reading room in connection there
with. The reading room will thus be
established upon basis that will insure
its perpetuity, and the expense will fall
lightly on each man. There are some
two or three hundred volumes belonging
to the old Reading Room that will be
transferred to this, and other donations
have been promised and will be solicited.
We consider this the best opportunity
we ever had to establish an institution
of this kind upon a permanent basis,
and we hope every citizen of Pulaski
will make himself member of the Ly-
ceum and thus insure its success.

Died

In this city, on last Thursday night,
Jan. 18th, at 10 o'clock, of pseudo
membranOus Group, JAMES ASHER SUMP-
TER, son of DR.. and Mrs. j. A. Sumpter,
aged years, one month and q days.
No language can express the grief of
relatives and sorrow of friends at the
sad and untimely death of this bright
boy. He had such an extraordinary
mind for a child that his future gave
promise of greatness, and the sudden
nIpping in the bud of the flower that
was blooming so sweetly added an
other pang to the grief of those whose
hearts bleed with lacerated affection.
We sincerely sympathize with the fam
lily who are thus brought to the vale of
mourning, and we trust their grief is
assuaged by the remembrance of the
language of Him who said, ''Suffer lit
tie children to come unto me, and forbid
them not, for Of such is the Kingdom of
Heaven"
