The Crm. RIaHTs BuL-The time of the
House Of Representative was mostly taken up
yesterday with the discussion of the Civil
Rights bill The discussion has no interest
or importance, and the proceedings would
have been exceedingly dull but for an episode,
in which General Butler took leading part.
His language was insulting to the white people
of the South, butonly a sample of the partisan
epithets in which too many of our public
men indulge; and Mr.. Mclean, of
Texas, in reply, used words that were
even more offensive. Then there was scene
which was disgraceful to all concerned in it.
and not less to Mr.. Randall for his use Of
slang and Mr.. Cox for his dull witticisms, than
to the others. The only member who met
the matter with proper dignity and decorum
was Mr.. Lamar, of Mississippi, and he did
himself honor by making his point without
any bitter words of his own. 1t was one of
those scenes which relieve the dulness of de-
bate but injure all who take part in them. A
vote will probably be reached to-day, and
as the Senate bill, the substitute of Mr.. White
and the amendment Of Mr.. Kellogg striking
out everything relating to schools in the first
section are now all before the House, it is
probable the whole matter will soon be out of
the way for the present at least.

Golfers of the Sanitary Commission for the
benefit Of our soldiers, but an invest
ment. We do not see any reason
to doubt that o properly built steam
railway through the city Of New York
would be desirable investment an immedi-
ate income to its owners and from year to
year the source of larger and larger revenue.
So that the demand for rapid transit affords
these largely endowed gentlemen an unique
and attractive opportunity of making good
investment and gaining national renown.
To them would be given the honor that New
York now gives to the far-seeing statesman
who built the Erie Canal. The effect of that
measure was to open the resources of New
York and so develop them that this State be-
came the first in the Union and the city
among the first in the world. Fifty years
have passed since that blessing was obtained;
now comes another opportunity. In many
respects, to the city especially, rapid transit
is higher necessity than the Erie Canal.
We repeat, it is virtually the life or
death of New York. If we mean
to maintain our metropolitan supremacy
we must confirm it. The men to do il are
these highly favored fellow citizens who owe
their wealth largely to the business prosperity
of the metropolis in the past, and who, we
are confident, will only be too glad to have an
opportunity of contributing to the consolida.

THINGS NOT PLEASANT TO BE-
HOLD.

A home where house plants seem to
receive more love than the children
where every bud is watched carefully
and every blossom brings delight. as it
seems to acknowledge the skill and wis
dom of the florist who has tended them,
but where the little immortal plants
show plainly the want of care and cul
ture. Let not the mother rob her chill
dren of the care and training that be-
longs to them, even for the pleasure of
flowers. We love the flowers they are
bright gifts, but when we have in our
homes, the little ones, upon whose faces
shines the radiance of heaven. let them
have the light of the window and the
tenderest love of the heart.
We dislike to witness such a sight as
came to our observation but few days
ago A sick lady lay in her bed; her
night dress as we'll as her bed, indicated
that she sadly needed something of her
husbands earnings to make herself COM
Portable. But the husband sat uncon-
cerned in another room smoking his pipe,
and the filthy fumes came into the room
of the invalid to add to her suffering,
while they told the cause of poverty.
The expense of tobacco and the hours
wasted in smoking it. made family
poor, and deprived a sick woman of CON-
forts and necessaries which might have
been had under other circumstances.
Many men who pride themselves on be-
ing too good to drink liquors, waste over
their pipes, many hours of valuable
time and money sufficient to bring com.
forts to their homes, and education t
their children.
We do not like to see an aged mother
who has devoted her life to the welfar,
of her family, deprived of the comforts
and blessings of life, through the folly
and extravaganza of her daughters. w
know lady who is obliged to remain a
home from church, not having suitable
apparel to appear there in, while he
daughter is docket out in costly clothing
ribbons and jewelry. Would it not b
sensible in that girl if she should thoos
more plain and comely attire, and lie
her mother also be so clad that sh
would not be ashamed to appear in tn
house of God? AN OBSERVER.

Death and Accident.

AUSTIN, Dec. 7th.-Andrew Casa
mayau, Sr., editor of the Reese Rive:
Reville and an old and highly respect
ed resident of this city, died to-day af-
ter brief illness. The flags of the
city are at half mast in honor of his
memory.
Last night a miner named j. Town,
employed in the Oregon mine wheeled
a car from the 500 foot level into
the shaft and fell with it to the
dump, a distance of four hundred feet
Men engaged at the fifty mine foot lev
ell, hearing the noise of the fall, ran to
the station at that level when Town
hailed them and asked them to lower
rope, telling them that he was cling
ing TO the guides and that he believed
be was strong enough to come up
without assistance. This request was
complied with, but after being hoisted
fifty feet, Town cried out to lower him
quickly, as his holdlwas weakening
aud he felt faint. Two men then went
downsto his assistance and he was
brought to the surface. His mouth
was found TO be filled with blood, but
beyond this and a sensation of pain in
the region of the back, there were no
indications of his being injured. The
physicians state that the man has not
sustained fracture of any bones, and
unless he has received internal injuries
he will recover. He made the fright

feet down the shaft while clinging to
q loaded ear without sustaining impor-

The Campo Gang.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Dec. 7th.--A gen-
tleman stopped at Valley Las Vejos
last Thursday night, hailing from San
Josquin Valley, looking for sheep
range. His name is unknown. He
had considerable money With him.
He rode yellow Canadian horse, and
had Henry rifle and heavy gold
watch with hair chain. A rifle,
watch and chain answering to the de-
scription of his was found with one of
the robbers who was killed in the
raid at Campo, and as this man has
not been seen or heard from since he
left Valley Las Vejos il is feared he
was victim of bandits.
Sheriff Hunsaker returned from
Campo this evening, from whom was
obtained the following particulars of
the hanging of the MeXicans on Sat-
urday night. He says everything
was quiet. No unusual excitement
existed among the residents. He had
gone to bed, leaving the prisoners
with n guard of three persons. At
about IL O'Clock two of the guard went
out for few moments, and while out
the other guard was seized and bound.
The prisoners We're hurried away and
hardly word was spoken. Search
was soon after made, and the lifeless
forms of the two robbers were found
suspended at each end of rore TO a
tree a short distance away. The au-
thorities below the line have track of
and the names of the remaining MEM
bers of the gang and will probably
catch them. Alcalde Gonzales will de
liver them TO the proper authorities if
caught, on requisition OF the Cover

sue we took exception to the language
he used in reference to the Govern

etc. The Express says at may suit
the HERALD's principles to consider
those who do suck things in more
favorable light, but that will not alter
the fact" 1t is well known fact
that the creation of greenbacks was Il
Republican measure, under u Repub-
lican administration. 1t is also known
in this community that Mr.. BARRows
and the editors of the Express ire Re-
publicans. Mr.. BARRows now calls
the Government "beggar," "sneak

q fact. AS they all belong to the
same family they ought to know each
other better than we do. But we do
not protest against such language in
reference to the Government 1t does
no good, and from any other newspa-

Safe and Unsafe Banking.

The lack of display that characterizes
the merchants and bankers of England
has been the admiration of observing
men of all nations. The millions that
are disbursed and forwarded tn all
parts of the world daily, weekly and
monthly in a modest office and retired
ostreet are in sad contrast with the gor-
gous gildings and mosaic surroundings
of an American Bank, and which real
ly set the solid man to thinking wheth
er there is not more money in the
show than In the vault. Our hollow,
ridiculous show Is fraud on the igno-
rant, who are the victims. The busi-
hess man is not taken in. He surveys
the situation, examines the surround
ings, takes an occasional look at the
records, meets on change with the
bright men of his locality, corresponds
with able men who control finance in
his commercial metropolis. He is
not deceived with bosh-He laughs at
the fraud, and heartily despises and
condemns the deception. When we
look around now as the year 1875 is
coming TO close, and take view Of
the disasters that have befallen these
custodians Of the earnings of the Wild
ow, the orphan, the confiding servant
man and woman, we invariably find
this hollow display, and the criminal
rascality Of those at their head arises
from the use of other peoples money
in their private speculations. While
we are for protecting legitimate busi-
ness, private or corporate, the legisla-
ture must be invoked to throw some
degree ofsecurity around institutions
that open their doors for the reception
Of the earnings of the people.

The Democratic Sheriff of New
York undoubtedly was criminally
negligent in allowing TWEED 10 es-
cape, and we look for his prompt trial
by the new Democratic District At
torney and Judge. Denunciation
comes with bad grace, however, from
the Eastern Republican papers, when
it is so we'll known that President
GRANT has pardoned scores of election
repeaters, postoffiee thieves, revenue
robbers and plunderers of the public
treasury.

The Presidents Message.

The strong points in the Presidents g
Message, according to his friends, are
the educational and religious parts.
The President has suddenly become
a self-appointed champion of educa-
tion and religious freedom. Any re-
marks on the question of education,
would seem to be out of place in a
Presidents Message, as the school
question is regulated by the States;
and the constitution itself guarantee s
freedom of religion. Why the Presi-
dent should sud ienly rush before the
country in the defense of public educa-
tion, we cannot see; as every State ed.
ucates the masses out of general tax.
1t is still less apparent why he con-
jures up the spectre of religious tyran-
ny. But then, something had to be
done to bolster up the waning fortunes
of Republicanism and the Message has
done it in good style. The suggestion
as to taxation of church property will
be widely discussed and is likely to
bring down on GRANTS devoted head
o host of denunciations from all sects.
This part of the message is, perhaps,
the most interesting to the average
taxpayer and will cause the most
discussion, though we believe 1t to be
in consonance with Me ideas of the
majority of the American people. en-
foreign matters the President is con-
servative and dignified and the finan-
cial question is handled with consid-
erable ability. 1t is the most careful
ly written Message President GRANT
ever presented and will attract atten-
ton all over the civilized world. 1t
discusses more than the usual number
of subjects and they are handled, at
least, shrewdly. His summing up at
the close of the Message is quite pow
erful and will make a strong cam
paign document for the Republican
party. AS State paper it is peculiar,
as special plea for the Republican
party 1t is success.

THE Legislature commences its
work slowly ana this is promise of
wise legislation. We trust that the
Democratic majority will look only
to the peoples interest in their legis-

wise action on the part of the Demo-
cratic party in the Legislature is the
best party policy.
