The Mexican Government has just
paid the annual 1nstallment of $500, 600
on the $S,975, 123 awarded American citi-
zens by the American and Mexican Joint
Claims Commission in 1876, for damages
incurred through Mexican raids. This
is the fourth installment which has been
paid, and it has been a pretty severe
strain on our neighbours Purse to make
them. Diaz, Notwithstanding the many
revolutions and an empty treasury, came
up. faithfully every January during his
term, aud there is no doubt that the
whole amount will be handed over dur
ing the next seven or eight years. The
only difficulty is found in paying out the
money at Washington to the proper
American claimants, who are quarreling
among themselves for the money.

The Colonization of South Carolina.

We have received from Colonel G. G.
Jones, Jr., of Augusta, copy of little
work rescued from oblivion, and trans
lated by him from the French, which is
of rare interest. It is entitled Memo.
rial presented to His Grace, My Lord
the Duke of Newcastle, Chamberlain of
King George, etc, and Secretary of
State, upon the present condition Of
Carolina and the means OF its ameliora-
ton; by Jean Pierre Purry, of Neufcha-
tel, Switzerland.
NJ Purry was the founder of what is
now known as the town of PuTrysburg,
in South Carolina. When that State
was yet a province he induced Zone
hundred and seventy poor Switzers TO
leave their native land and settle upon
"the feEtile and delightful province of
South Carolina, and soon after two hun
dred more came over aud joined them.
In his preface to this memorial Colonel
Jones gives a brief but comprehensive
and interesting history of this colony.
and details the causes which led to its
failure. As he expresses it, latter a com
paratively short and precarious exist
ence, Purrysburg, like New E5enezsr
and AbercOrn, on the Georgia side of
the river, became little more than
nsme-scaroely aught else than frall
monument of hopes deferred and disap-
pOintment most severe.
Following the preface, comes the
translation Of the memorial, which is,
exactly as is stated in its title, a full
history of the province of Carolina at
that time-1724-withs suggestions as to
how that condition could be improved
1t is exceedingly interesting, not only to
South Carolinians and Georgians resid
ing on the confines of that State, but to
all persons who feel an interest in the
early settlement of this country
Colonel Jones well known reputation
as a jealous searcher into everything
connected with the primitive days of
America. and the numerous valuable
contributions he has made to the history
of that period, is a guarantee of the
merits of this pamphlet.
He has had an edition of two hundred
and fifty copies privately printed at the
MORNING News Steam Printing Estab-
lishment The style of type is antique,
exactly similar to that which was used
in those old days, and the work reflects
great credit upon all concerned.

Themost noticeable point of the acqui
escence of the Republican Senators in
the passage Of the new electoral count
resolutions on Wednesday, was the re
servation which was directed by their
caucus and expressed by Mr. Edmunds,
that they should not thereby be held to
have committed themselves against the
theory of the right Of the President of
the Senate to count the votes. They did
not propose to lay even a straw in the
way Of such an usurpation of power by
Vice President Arthurin 1885. And vet
Dir. Edmunds, who formulated this very
significant reservation, is on record as
having in 1876 denied the constitution
atty Of the very theory which is sought
to be protected by the reservation.

It seems not altogether unlikely that
logging may again become a not unusual
penalty in statute books, says the Church
man, referring to Mr. Bergh's move
ments in this direction, and for a certain
limited class Of offenses, it seems. under
proper restrictions, that itsrevIval might
be a real appreciable benefit to the com
munity in general, and that without in
jury, If not with positive benefit, to the
criminal classes. Any remnant of
sense Of shame is more likely to be
awakened than destroyed by the judicial
inhiction of sharp bodily pain, and,
however that may be, the protection of
the innocent is tie first consideration.

1t is reported that the Greenbackers
are proposing to organize Peoples
Party" with the decidedly visionary
idea of swallowing up the Democracy.
The New Haven Register Dem says:
1.-The Democrats cast 5000 more votes
than the Republicans, and upwards of
four millions more votes than the Green.
hackers at the last election, and yet
Messrs. De La Matyr and Weaver, who
have just been retired from public life
by the disappearance of their party,
want the 100000 Democrats to come
over and join the 300, 900 Greenbacksrs
These are modest gentlemen, very. If
they have no other hope of getting Office
except by this scheme, they had better
abandon politics. The Democratic party
is stronger now than it ever was before;
the Greenbackers are weaker than at any
time since the early days of their party's
existence.

The Memphis Appeal, in the course of
comments upon the relative positions of
the white and colored Republicans, says:
Wherever the colored vote predomi-
mates the Republicans elect negroes to
Office by appealing to race prejudices
But when a white man is elected to the
Presidency by the solid colored vote and
an appeal to race prejudices, the negro
is refused place in the Cabinet and de-
MED his proportionate share of the spoils,
because it Is unwise and unpatriotic to
recognize the very race prejudices by
which the Republicans secured power"

Granting Cabinet Members the PriTl.
lee of the Floor In Congress.

Iege of the Floor In Congress.
The bill of Senator Pendleton, Of
Ohio, now pending before the Senate, to
grant members of the Cabinet seats upon
the floors of the two houses Of Congress,
with the privilege Of entering into de-
bates, is doubtless a good measure. 1t
is a custom which has always prevailed
in England, and indeed in that country
members of the Ministry are always
chosen from members of Parliament
The object Of this is that the Ministers
may be present to instruct Parliament
upon the vital questions before the gov
eminent, both by answering questions
propounded to them by members, and
by advocating measures of public inter
est before that body. In this way the
Parliament is thoroughly informed upon
all questions of public welfare, and
when opposed to the plans of the MIN
istry, a vote of lack Of confidence is
taken, and the result is either a resigna-
ton of the Ministry and the formation
of new government, or Propagation
of Parliament and an appeal to the peo-
PIE.
Under our system, where both Con-
gress and the President are elected to
serve limited and fixed time, no such
result can follow a disagreement with
the administration, and therefore it has
never been necessary that members of
the Cabinet should be present in Con-
gress to justify their action and appeal
to the National Legislature to retain them
in power by endorsing their course on any
special subject. Congress and the Cabi-
net in this country will always remain
independent Of each other. No matter
what the views of the latter, they cannot
be carried out without the consent of
the former, nor does it matter how much
Congress may disagree with the secre-
taries, they still continue to occupy their
positions until they resign, or until their
terms of office expire with the
administration. 1t is easy to be
seen, however, what great advantage
to the country at large would result
from permitting members of the Cabinet
TO participate in the debates of the Ma
tional Legislature, and publicly venti-
late their views upon all questions of
interest before that body, since, in so
doing, a much more thorough under
standing between Congress. the people
at large and the administration would be
established, to the mutual benefit of all
concerned Mr.. Pendleton's bill is,
therefore, wise one, and will no doubt
meet the appreciation of the country.
