To BE Investigated,

The more the transactions are inquired
into connected with the appointment
of JAY COOKE, MCCULLoCH X Co.. and
CLEws, IIAmCHT y Co., to be financial
agents OF the United states in Europe the
more reprchcnsible they are. Each Of
these houses was appointed 60 this post
by GRANTS personal orders Mr. BouT-
WE'LL was against II, though he made no
active opposition. Mr.. FISH at first resist
ed the change, which directly affected his
department, both from feeling of inse-
curity about the money and from belief
that II was an act OF injustice to the
BARINGs. In consequence of this resist
ance the scheme was suspended for some
months but finally II was consummatcd,
with his consent, and the country knows
what followed.
Two years from the time of these APP
pointments both houses became bankrupt.
and they are to-day large debtors to the
Government. 1t has been proved in court
that SEcoR robson advanced more than
Il million of the public money TO JAY
COOKIES rotten firm after the panic of 1873
had broken it; and now 1t appears that
the appointment of CLEws's house was
not made by GRANT out of friendship or
for the advancement of his party, but sim
ply because there was money in it,, and
his brothcr-in-law was heavily paid. OF
the many scandalous transactions which
have dishonored the President, and sunk
his administration into contempt, none is
more scandalous than this, and none more
demands stern inquiry by the House of
Representatives. In the Black Friday in
vestigation GRANT escaped, although the
sum Of $4,000 was traced inside the White
House as the premium paid by JAY GOULD
through Brother-in-law CoRBIN for the
Presidents aid in that conspiracy. In that
case, the majority of the committee, being
Republicans, were not willing to examine
into the facts for fear that when officially
established they would destroy their Prosi-
dent. Let us trust that in the present in
stance there will be no such cowardice and
no such trifling with Il great public duty,

Assessment.

The greatest engine for the robbery OF
this people is the ingenious system of as

lowers of a couqueriHg army into whose
hands our destinies have been committed
by a magnanimous foe. A more complete
scheme of robbery were utterly impossible,
except by open, undisguised confi.cation.
set of unscrupulOus, vindictive par
tiR4ns are appointed assessors of property,
in the interest of those public enemies who,
under protection of United States bayonets,
assume to rule our people. This is bad
enough of itself, as so delicate duty ought
always to be confided to friends of the PEG
pie. But the infamy of the scheme insists
in the amount of power vested in these
persons. They can arbitrarily AZ the
valuation of property at any figure what
ever. THERE'S no appeal from their decision
no recourse for relief and justice given by
the law.
This is an absolute power of conHscation

The African.

We lately perceived in a leading Northern
paper a tendency to abandon the negro.
1t found him an irreclaimable savage except
IN a state of slavery, and favored his re-
turn to his native juugles. 1t sketched his
degeueracy under the influence of freedom
as exhibited in San Domingo, Jamaica and
the United States, and concluded that the
only way to get the South rid of the incubus
of lazy, thieving, irresponsible negro
population was to ship them off bodily to
Africa.
So much for their Northern friends. The
darkies will soon find this doctrine perva
ding the whole North. So long as they are
useful allies to one side, and one side only,
in political contests, SO long they will find
themselves tolerated and even. hattered
But such a condition of things cannot last
1t is unnatural. If one class of population
arrays itself invariably as a unit in politi.
cal questions, and on the very ground that
it lie class, the other classes must eventually
combine against it. In this case, for in

BISHOP MANUcY.-Last Thursday evening
We had the pleasure of meeting the Right Rev.
D. Nancy, Vicar Apostolic of Brownsville,
Texas. He was in perfect health and excellent
spirits, having just returned from visit to the
old fields of his labors in Alabama, where his
friends are legion. He expected to leave the
city for his Vicariate Saturday morning, 18th,
but stated that he might possibly postpone his
departure till next Tuesday. That our readers
may have some idea of the immense labors
Bishop Manucy has already performed in his
diocese, We will mention that in the small
epace of four months he travelled several
thousand miles on horse back and in stages,
part of the time under escort, as his path was
along the Mexican border, and confirmed
&wenty-six hundred persons.

This could be remedied by forcing as
SCISSORS to take property at the valuation

should 80 desire. If they were unable

no remedy provided by the law; none
whatever. On the contrary, the assessors

In no other civilized country of the
world, we will venture to say, are the tax
payers left completely at the mercy OF the
assessors. Our Courts have refused re-
dress. They have, they say, no right to
hear appeals from the assessors. In other
words, they cannot protect the people from
confiscation. One would suppose that al
though the la,o may give them no power OF
redress, they could find some such power In
the Constitution, if they would look. NO
right of appeal Does not the Constitution

assessment is JUST 1t would be absurd
to say that the tax shall be one per cent

of the same value. The taxation in the
two cases would certainly not be uniform

made SO on paper.

ST. VINCENT DE PAUh's GIRLS SCHOOL,
Under the excellent management of the Sisters
of Holy Cross this school has always prospered,
and has afforded to the girls of the old Third
District as good opportunities of receiving
thorough Christian education as those enjoyed
by the youth of any city in the South. This
fact the heads of families in that section of
the city have always fully appreciated. as is
evidenced by the large attendance of pupils at
the several parochial schools and the Academy
which the Sisters control.
Last Sunday evening the girls of st. Vincenvs
gave their annual exhibition, Which was at
tended by a number of clergymen and q large
concourse of ladies, most of the gentlemen
having to content themselves with q view from
the outside, as there was not even standing
room in the hall. The exercises were opened
! by Miss ]. Chevillon, who, in the name of heI
comrades, greeted the assembly in beautiful
address. After this the progremme consisting
! of songs, dialogues, recitations, etc., was car
ried out, the young girls acquitting themselves
] with credit, and receiving the hearty applause
| of the audience. Among those who specially dis
| tinguishsd themselves were Misses Olivia An

Caroline Vale, Mary Wright, Sidonie Wilt
Mary Dudenheifer, Rosalie Points, Mary Bour

miums were then distributed, and the veneer
