The Presidents Appointments.


The Boston Herald says it hopes for
the credit of the Republican senator's
that the published report is incorrect
which said that they await information
concerning the Presidents nominees
from the Republican State or county
committees in the localities wherein the
changes have been made. 1t rightly
declares that "this would give to their
action distinctively partisan bias, and
would, in effect, make these political
committees the real confirming or re-
jecting power" and adds:
The Republican senators should adjust
themselves 10 the fact that the people last
year decreed n political change In the Ad.
ministration OF the country. And when the
President nominates capable and ny men
for Office. they should be confirmed. His
accountability 10 to the people, and by the
people he is willing to be judged.
Exactly. And the true inwardness Of
the proposed war upon the Presidents
appointments is desire to place it, as
far as possible, out Of the power of the
President to make his administration q
success. 1t is therefore not only a war
upon the President but war upon the
people.

The School-Book Question.

The Staunton Vindicator has raised
O constitutional question in regard to
the proposition to furnish school-boOks
to all children attending the public
schools. 1t quotes the State Constitu-
ton as follows:
Section 8. Provision shall
be made TO supply children attending the
public free schools with necessary text.
books IN cases where the parent or guardian
is unable, by reason OF poverty, 10 furnish
them.
ETpreSSio minis ercluSio est aHeriuS.
To say that books shall be furnished to
children whose parents are unable to
furnish them is to come very near say
ing that books shall not he furnished
to children whose parents are able to
furnish them. In the american Reports
a case is reported of sheriff the duties
of whose Office were attempted to be
taken from him by law. The Supreme
Court of his State-lllinois, we think
decided that when the Constitution pro-
vided for sheriff it provided for a
sheriff having sherifi's powers as these
powers were understood to be at the
time the Constitution was made, and,
therefore, that the act of the Legisla-
ture was unconstitutional. So in this
case it may be held that the Legislature
cannot pass an act inconsistent with
the intention the trainers Of the Con-
stitution had when they inserted in that
instrument the language quoted above.
We shall see what the courts say
about it.

Day before yesterday was one of the
most orderly Christmases ever expe-
rienced in Richmond. There were the
usual blowing Of horns, firing of crack
ers, &C., but comparatively little intox-
ication, and no aggravated breaches Of the
peace. When We consider the license
that is allowed in celebrating Christmas
at the South, the record of the day is
creditable to our city. Yet after all it
only illustrates the truth Of the asser.
ton, often made with great pride by our
own citizens and attested by strangers,
that Richmond is the most law-abiding
city in the Union.

Trouble Among White and Black
Miners.

lBy telegraph to the Dispatch.l
BEvIER, Mo-, December 26.-Much
apprehension was felt among law
abiding citizens yesterday in regard to
the white and black miners, but no con-
flict occurred between them. On Christ
mas-eye the negroes had a dance at the
stockade and many Of them were in
toxicated and revolvers were frequently
fourished. Several fights occurred
among them, and all night long there
was shooting going on, without fatal ef.
feet, however. The citizens claim that all
the shooting was done by negroes, and
the negroes claim that some of the white
miners did the shooting. Yesterday
the negroes remained in the stockade
drinking heavily. There was also a
great deal Of drinking among the white
men, and frequent fights occurred on
both sides. A large number of both
black and white miners went to Macon
to-day, and the authorities there were
somewhat alarmed and took extraordi-
nary precautions to prevent trouble by
enlisting extra police. Several alterca-
tons took place, but prompt arrests
prevented a riot.

National Aid.

The Christian Union, in an article
refuting the slanderous declaration of
certain Chicago ministers that the PEG.
pie Of the South are opposed to edu-
eating the negro, gives the South credit
for splendid and generous work in the
matter of educating both races, and in
cidentally puts in a strong plea for Fed
eral aid to education. 1t says:
1.-THE publc.school system for both races
Is a reality at the South, but il is not yet
faultlessly adjusted. The only possibility
OF perfecting ifs machinery Is through sub
stantial aid from the General Government"
Evidence is accommodating to show
that the question of national aid TO edu-
cation is the burning question Of the
day.

BOYCOTTING A DEMOCRATIC POST
MASTER, &C.
South Salem is little village just
outside of New York, but far enough
away from railways to be intensely ru-
raj. 1t counts 200 souls, and its post
office business last year amounted to
just sl20. Squire Cyrus Lawrence
has handled the village mail for nigh on
to a quarter Of century, but he has
just been displaced by his bitterest
enemy and the only Democrat in the
place, Elias q. Lyon. "Li," as his
neighbors call him, fell out years ago
with the Squire over his management
of the mails, and has been keeping up
a quiet little individual boycotting by
sending his mail to a neighboring town,
and thereby cutting down the 'Squire's
sales Of stamps. Now "Li" is post
master, and South Salem is boycotting
him because he is Democrat. lie had
waited long and patiently for the dawn
ing Of the new era, and when its time
came oil" sold his only yoke
Of steers and hied him up to Washing
ton to see it. lie came back feeling
that he really was " some pumpkins, >
and that the South Salem pCst-ofice was
lust about his size. Being the only
Democrat in the place and the incam-
bent an offensive partisan Ii got IT..
The villagers were not taken into the
confidence Of the department, but were
thrown into a ferment Of indignation one
day when "Li" drove up to
the Squlre'S red store anu SHOW
ing his commission, said he be-
lieyed "as how he'd take them traps
and start things on Democratic basis y
out on his farm nearly half mile away.
The villagers demonstrated and petit
toned Washington, but would not give
the new postmaster quarters in the
place and got so worked up about it
that they could not sleep o nights.
Finally some one recalled how" Ii" had
boycotted the Squire, and that settled
it ; the tables we're Immediately turned
and South Salem's mail goes now to an
adjoining town, leaving Lyon a post
master without any mail. lie swears
he will stick, and he probably will, for
his wife boasts that he married into
democracy on their wedding day and
that she inherited it from her great
grandfather.
