EXECUTIVE ABUSES.

The Little Rock (Ark. Gazette criticises
severely disappointment of Jos. Brooks as
postmaster at that place. Only last May,
Gen. Grant issesd proclamation, the effect
as welfas design of which was to show that
this man was not entitled to the Office which:
he then claimed. and warned thossswho sup,
ported his claims to the Governorst1ip Of the
State to desist from their reasonable purposes,
and repairquicklyto their homes, as he meant
to support the de facto Governor, Baxter
But Baxter, meanwhile, had changed his
policy, became conservative in his course; and
co>operated as Governor. withsthe people, in
securing new constitution which virtually
legislated him out of Office and brought in a
new set of officials. Brooks, who had run On.
the Greeley ticket in opposition to Baxter aud
Grant, had also changed, becoming an ultra
Radical and Administration man. Under
these circumstances, as the iLynchburg FIR
gilman says, the:President "repented him" Of
what he: had done, and SO. as the easiest way
out of the. dilemma, asked Congressat its last
session. to kindly overlook the Proclamation
OF May, 1874 to'consider Brooks the legally
chosen Governor of Arkansas to remove the
present 6 overuor, and put Brooks, with the
old constitution. in power. This, Congress,
under the lead of Judge Poland, declined to
de, and thus Mr.. Brooks was left onthe Pres
ident's hands. to be provided for in some way.
As he could not impose him upon the people
of Arkansas as their Governor, he made him
postmaster at Little Rock, underline circum-
stances thus described by the Gazette:
'The President now sends Jos. Brooks,
with scarcely Qualification for the duties of
the place. az postmaster at,Little Rock, turn

universal satisfaction to the people of all
parties, and whose competency aud honesty

potency Joseph Brooks is no more fitted for

SILVER RESUMPTIoN.

Its stated from Washington that the Sec.
rotary of the Treasury has already begun in
good earnest his preparations for the resump
ton of silver payments. He is required to
do SO by act of Congress, aud therefore the
secretary himself is not to be regarded as
subject to criticism for his action in this mat
ter. In buying 80. SOC, 900 of silver bullion
And setting the mints in full activity, he is
simply carrying ont an act of Legislation first
suggested by the President and then adopted
by Congress. But what is likely to be the

thus, as it has been answered before, by say
ing that silver coin is intended to circulate
on par with paper currency, can in fact
have no other circulation aud yet, with the
price of gold over no, the silver will be

under such condition of the gold premium,
will disappear from circulation and go out of

THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.

The prosecutions for attractions of the Civil
Rights law, so far as the Now York Times
has been able to observe, have not been at
tended with such success as to lead to the be-
lief th.t the colored race viii find their CON
ditiou particularly improved by its enactment.
In the Northern States, says that paper, the
cOlorsd people, generally. have shown their
good sense By avoiding any intrusion into
places where their presence would not be ac>
ceptable, aud in the few cases in which pro-
ceedings have been instituted for violations of
the law, it has usually been determined that
the acts complained of do not como within its
provisions. For instance, in New Jersey it
has been decided that a. negro has no. more
right to force himself into a billiard room,
against the wishes Of tho proprietor, than
before the bill was passed while elsewhere
It has been established that neither the keep
eEs of drinking saloons Eor barber shops can
be compelled to attend upon customers against
their will because the latter belong to the
African race. In Cincinnati the proprietor
of the Crawford House was arrested for re-
fusing to provide lodgings for colored cler>
gyman, aud an interesting test case was antici-
Pated but, unfortunately, it was proved that
the complainant had never asked either the
proprietor or clerks for the desired accommo
datioD, and he left town hurriedly to avoid
prosecution for perjury. The most interest
ing incident relating to the new law which
has occurred. however, was the charge deliv>'
cred in Memphis by Judge Emmons of the.
United States District Court to the Grand
Jury In answer TO an inquiry as to the duty
of that body in regard to finding bills of in
dictment against keepers of inns and man.
ayers. of theatres for denying accommodation
or entertainment to negroes. Judge Emmons,
who is Republican, fatty replied that such
denial would not be an offence over which
Congress could give United States jurisdic
tion, these are matters which the State
alone controls. In brief, he pronounced the
law unconstitutional. in which opinion he is
in agreement with the best lawyers on the Re-
publican side who we're in the Congress which
passed the act. The truth is that the Civil
Rights bill was sham-a trick, intended to
catch the colored vote, and make mischief in
the South, while it vas we'll understood that
IL could not be sustained in the courts.

OUR STATE CAPITAL.

a dispatch from Charleston states that
Judge Waite. of the ninth judicial Circuit
Court, has granted an injunction staying the
removal of the capital to Wheeling. The
capital will remain at Charleston until the
courts have an opportunity to pass upon the
validity of tho act of removal, which it is
claimed is unconstitutional.
The Wheeling papers claim 'that'the in
junction will be dissolved by the Court of
Appeals at its session in tina. city in June.
The Wheeling LtcHiycncer, reporting the
occurrences of n recent entertainment at the
Mcclure House, in that city, says there was
considerable talk upon the subject of the cap
ita', and referring to the Hon. q. j. Faulkner,
who was present, says:
''As for Martinsburg, Mr.. Faulkner says
she is not at this. time a rival for the location
of the Capital. Her people are we'll content
that the Capital shall remain at Wheeling for
years to come. She has all that she can take
care of for the present in the way of public
enterprises She las, among other things,
water works and gas works to put up, and
these improvements will sufficiently tax her
resources for some time to come"
This does not. seem to accord very we'll,
either with The tone of the Martinsburg pa
pers, or with the reasons assigned for the vote
of Senator GraHtham on this question in the
late Legislature.
