From an act entitled, "An Actor

information of persons having dogs.

of one dollar annually for the keep

THE COST OF THE 6lst AND e2d
GENERAL ASSEMBLYS,

For the purpose of keeping down
the aggregate amount of appropria-
tions, so as to win favor in the eyes
of the people, the late Legislature at
its regular session appropriated on
ly $4,000 to pay per diem and mile
age of members and officers-not
enough to pay all Of it. So on the
18th of January, 1877, an appropria-
ton of $4,000 was made to cover
the deficiency. At the same time an
appropriation of $4,000 was made
for per diem and mileage. At the
close of the session q further appro.
priation of $4,000 was made to pay
up arrearages. We, therefore, find
that the late Republican General AS
sembly cost for per diem and mile
age of members and officers:

The whites at the South say that all

travagant generalization, for every
white man or woman who repeats this
common SAYING will, il questioned,
admit to having known colored people
who were scrupulOusly honest. Never
theless, it cannot be denied that the
blacks as class are much more given
to stealing than the poor ignorant
whites. Southern prisons aud peni-
tenIiaries are full OF negroes, and IN
more than one Southern State there il
