THE APPROPRIATION BILL.

owe are patiently waiting fora parliament
ary' defense of Tom Hanna for killing the
appropriation bill. That his head was on
his shoulders twenty-four hours after he
committed the act proved that he was in a
land of liberty and-license. 1t would have
been a short journey for him from the
French Deputies to the guillotine. "-Senti-
mel.
We will try and accommodate you. After
bill shall have passed certain stage in the
house where it originated, it cannot be
amended therein without unanimous con-
sent And where a bill is pending in the
house in which it did not originate, and
thereon, it cannot be further amended,
after the pending amendments have
been ordered to engrossment, with
out unanimous consent, except
through the action of conference COM
mlttee upon a disagreement of the two
houses. Hence, when n bill has passed both
houses and the notification of its passage
has passed from each to the other, no further
action can be taken on the bill by either
house without the consent of the other,
and where the last action in finishing bill
has been the adoption by both houses of
conference report, and the notification of its
adoption by each house has passed to the
other, neither house can then again touch
the bill without the consent of the other.
This was the condition of the general ap-
preparation bill. The only thing to be done
with it was for the Speaker of the House
sign it, and send it to the Lieutenant
governor for his signature, and then have it
presented by the House committee to the
Governor. Instead of this, the Democratic
House unconstitutionally, parliamentary,
and with revolutionary purpose, kept the
bill virtually in their hands When the
hour OF midnight approached of the last day,
when action could be constitutionally had,
Speaker Bynum arbitrarily and defiantly re-
fused to entertain any motion from the DEM
ocratic chairman of the ways and means
Bell pleaded with him not to put the shame
and disgrace of defeating the bill upon

never escape the odium of the disgrace
full, rotous, revolutionary proceed
ings of the last Saturday night of the last in

THE dogmatic Catholics may take their chill

priests There is no law against that. They
may do their education this injustice, but they
can never expect that the people of this coun-

support of sectarian schools. Monsignor Capel

THE recognition and unfolding of informal
marriages based upon mere verbal agreements

grew out of the disposition of the courts to save

crafty have been vastly more unfortunate and

they are ready to gather in these votes and
count them and profit by them, regardless of

therefore. Democratic President should be
elected in 1884, he would owe his election TO the
SOLD South and TO the methods which were made
so conspicuous by the Bourbons OF Virginia in
the late farce which is misscalled an election. 1t
seems ordered that the battle of civilization
against barbarism must be fought over again in
1854, and the people who are on the side of the
former may as we'll begin prepare their bal-

Ing full political privileges to the negroes, or
whether those laws shall prevail, even at the
expense of allowing an ignorant and inferior
class TO rule We take it that the decision will
be that the ballot must be protected at any

where it has been legally conferred will be
deemed to be greater, all things considered, than
those flowing from a free vote Tamperlng

THE New Orleans Times-Democra has seen
the error of its way in opposing the idea of
a tariff for the protection of American in

Times-Democrat, sent the following dispatch
to the Washington Office of that paper on
Saturday:
with the highest respect and warm per-
sonal regard for Carlisle, of my native State,
l find him supported by all leading free
traders of the country. Our conviction re-
garding the best interests of the growing in
dustral South dictates the expression of the
Times Democrats preference for the election
of Randall for Speaker"
The Times Democrat came out for Mr.. Ran
dali on Saturday. Possibly the impetuous
Mr.. Watterson may conclude soon that he
has no commission to speak for the entire
South.

THE indianapolis Colored World says:

"The colored race are meek in manner and
disposition; for two hundred odd years of
slavish brutality has driven the spirit of
manhood out of them. They are unrevenge-
full and so forgiving that they bear patiently
ills that other races would never suffer. The
colered man is initiative, and the seeds of
cruel murder sown by the whites will soon
bear fruit that will be bitter to the lips.
These Southern thugs and murderers are
paving the way for day of wrath, when
the negro, profiting by the white mans
teaching, will burn, kill and spread terror
before him."
This is what the Journal said in answer to
those papers which look with complacence
upon the striking down of all laws for the
protection of the colored race and tell the
negro to protect himself. A very little OF
this kind of teaching may go long way,
and we all may have occasion to remember,
with shuddering, that very little fire kin
