''1he Practicrl Effect" of the
Turn Pike Law.

IN an editorial of recent dat
giving reasons for our Opposition t.
the turnpike law, we warned ou
friends and readers to pay no atten
tion to any one who tried to con
vince them that they would no
bear their share OF the proposed in
crease of taxation simply because
they were not tax payers. In a re
cent editorial in the Huntsville
Independent headed practical Eff
iect," favoring the turn pike law
we find the following unexpected
language. "But for the reason
hat it needs no argument TO con
vince the man who has no tax to pa,
that it is to his interest to have tn.
road built, and any thing said to th'
contrary is too idle and devoid o
meaning to reqniere argument or an
swer"
The simple menaing of the abov,

scheme.
We forewarn our friends that a1
appeal to them based upon this al
gument is wrong and should not o.
tight be listened to. Ii you ere /;
non tex payer and you are inAance,
alone hy u desire to make the proper
ty owners pay for the turnrikes
then you ought to stay away from
the polls. II you have none OF tn,
burdens of taxation to bear, thel
you can safely let the tax payer,
both white and colored settle thu
question for themselves.
Our race has advanced too far il

As stated before in our lumus,
such an appeal to non tax payt,
is without foundation. The non tax

will have to pay for the land ht

CONGRESSIONAL.
HOUSE..

WASHINGTON, Feb. l3.-Henley
from the committee ON public lands,
reported back the resolution request
ing the President to inform the house
what were the reasons which impelled
him to appoint a commission to ex-
anime line of the California and
Oregon railroad, said railroad having
failed to complete TIE line within the
timerequired by law. Oates offered q
substitute to the resolution, respect
fully requesting the President not to
confirm any favorable report which
may be made by the conan ission re-
Gently appointed by him to inspect q
section of the California and Oregon
road nor order patents to issue until
the senate acts upon the house bill
f0rfeiling certain lands granted to aid
the construction of that railroad, nor
until after the adjournment Of the
present congress. He offered this
substitute, he said, because he did
not think the original resolution was
exactly respectful to this President
and would not accomplish the par
pose intended.
The substitute was ruled out on q
point of order. Henley demanded
the previous question, bnt no quorum
voted and Horr raised the point that
such an outrage should not be perpe-
trated on the executive without de-
bate. The previous question was
seconded l16 to AZ on vote by tellers.
Steele moved to lay the resolution on
the table; lost, AZ to SO. The resolu-
tiOn was then passed. /

LONDON, Feb. i3.-The receat dy-
Mantle explosion in the House of
Commons demonstrated the fact that
under existing rules governing the
admission of strangers to the galleries
and lobbies of the houses of Parlia-
ment, it is an easy matter for dyn m
tiers to convey explosives into the
building during the session OF Par
Lament and cause death to many Of
its members. The government has
decided to adopt more stringent rules
regulating the admission of visitors.
Members of Parliament in the future
will not be allowed to introduce
strangers within the galleries and
Hobbies. The speaker of the House of
Commons alone has the right of grant
ing tickets of admission 10 visitors, and
he will only issue tickets to members
for tneir friends after having received
a weeks notice, so that in the mean.
time the antecedents of the proposed
visitors can be inquired into. Turn
ing stiles are erected at the entrance
to the galleries and lobbies, and ex-
perienced detectives will be poste at
each turn stile to carefully scrutinize
stran gers.
