WASHINGTON.
Grant and Pardee. All a Muddle.
Washington, March 25. — Marshal
Packard, Judge Pardee and Col. Fish
visited tlie President to-day regarding
his power to appoint Pardee or any
one else as District Judge of Louisiana.
The President still has his power under
advisement, but its a foregone conclu
sion that tho Bench will be vacant until
the convening of the next Congress. It
seems to have been the determination
of the Senate to send there a person
who had no local affiliation. At the
last hour, ex-Senator Pratt, of Indiana,
was suggested to the President by the
Judiciary Committee. By usual cour
tesy to ex-Senators his name would
have come up for immediate action
without reference to the committee, and
the President was assured of Pratt’s
confirmation, but he adhered to Par
dee, whose name went on the table.
This action involves no personal dis
paragment to Pardee but carries out
the theory of the Republican Senator
that an entire stranger should occupy
the Bench.
The Freedman’s Bureau to be Investi
gated—-Senator Robertson’s Posi
tion.
The Attorney General has written a
letter to the United States Attorneys
having control of suits against parties
charged with fraud in connection with
tho operation of the Freedman’s Bu
reau requiring them to promptly and
thoroughly investigate the alleged
frauds, and to institute proceedings in
all cases where they are satisfied
frauds have been committed, and to
make an early report to the Depart
ment of Justice in detail, giving the
name of each case, and whatever ac
tion has been taken.
Senator Robertson did not sever his
relations with the Republican caucus,
but attended all its meetings. He re
fused to vote for a resolution recog
nizing the legality of the Kellogg Leg
islature, but voted for a resolution
which approved of what was termed
the Prreident's protection of the peo
ple of Louisiana from domestic vio
lence.
NEW YORK.
Raiding Saloons—A Portion of the
North Pole Afloat.
New York, March 25.— “Prettya Witer
saloons” on Broadway and Bleecher
streets were raided and inmates ar
rested.
Steamships arrived yesterday brought
reports of large quantities of ice en
countered in mid ocean. The Holsatia
from Hamburg, when in latitude 43 and
longitude 40, passed two immense ice
bergs and was three hours forcing a
passage through large fields of drift
ice. The steamer Cimbria, from Havre,
met with a similar experience, but
found greater difficulty in avoiding ob
structions. March 19th, when in lati
tude 45 and longitude 46, the vessel
passed a short distance from an im
mense iceburg, and about midnight
came into an immense field of drift iee,
through which tho steamer could not
force a passage. No opening appeared,
and it was found necessary to go out
of her course and pass around the field.
The steamer L’Amerique, from Havre,
also encountered ice fields on March
20th, when in latitude 43 and longi
tude 51.
Maj. Cox, Paymaster, was assigned
to San Antonio, Texas. Tho Senate
failed to confirm Maynadier and Bren
neman, nominated by the President as
Paymasters. It is questioned whether
the President can appoint.
A Coal Famine Threatened—An “Al
leged” Respect.
The destruction of the coal railroad
bridges of New Jersey threaten a coal
famine. The supply at some important
yards is exhausted and closed.
The steamer for Havana to-day took
nearly half million. Tilton scandal
trial adjourned to Monday from alleged
respect for Good Friday.

Important Charge of Judge Emmons
to the Grand Jury—Congress Can
Give the United States Courts No
Jurisdiction Over Cases Arising
Under the Law—They are Matters
which Legitimately Belong to the
States.
Memphis, March 22.
Judge Emmons of the United States
Court to-day delivered an elaborate
and exhaustive charge to the grand
jury in reference to Civil Rights. He
said: It is to be regretted that a ques
tion of such exceptional importance
and one which is producing so much
excitement, should come before the
court in this form. At an early day,
however, and during the term, we are
compelled to decide the matter you lay
before us. The several penalties im
posed by this law upon prosecuting at
torneys and other officials will, we are
advertised, be attempted to be enforced
should the grand jury fail to iudict, an
assumption that their action will be
controlled by such officers, unless the
court acts. Every consideration makes
it a duty to answer your questions at
once. You ask whether it is a crime
for which you have a right to
find an indictment that a negro has
been denied the full and equal enjoy
ment of the accommodations, ad
vantages and privileges of theatres
and inns in this State. Such denial is
not an offense over which Congress
can give this court jurisdiction. Those
are matters which the State Govern
ment alone controls. Parties who
think themselves aggrieved can bring
their civil action in this court at once.
Any decision we may then make can
be reviewed by the Supreme Court. He
then gives his reasons for entering into
the details of the case, which are main
ly the excited condition of the classes
whom the law was intended to affect.
Until the three recent amendments to
the national Constitution, which abol
ished slavery and attempted to protect
the civil and political lights of the
freedmen, all parties conceded that the
Federal Government had no power,
whatever, *to restrain such an offense
as this. The punishment of murder,
arson, assaults and batteries, tresspas
ses, fraifds injuries to reputation, ob
struction to the right of attending
church, public schools, theatres and
forcing the right of being accommoda
ted in inns, and by common carriers
within the State, were matters not only
not granted to the General Govern
ment, but in the Constitution itself ex
pressly reserved to the States. The
vastness of civil and political rights in
cluded in the compendious phrase,
“ right to life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness,” rested entirely under
State protection. To this familiar and
unquestioned truism there was univer
sal assent then, and is now. The only
question presented for judicial deter
mination is, have these amendments
completely revolutionized the whole
character of our Government, because,
it is certainly evident that, if Congress
has the power of regulating the theatre
and other places of amusement in Mem
phis and other cities of the Uuion, this
necessarily involves the power of pro
tecting the more sacred and important
rights of the colored citizen. He then
reviews the Thirteenth Amendment,
and declares that it abolished slavery
and did no more. He also reviews, at
great length, the Fourteenth amend
ment, and says the clauses forbidding
States to deprive any person of life,
liberty or property, without due pro
cess of law, or denying to any person
the equal protection of the law, have
no application to this subject. They
are intended solely to prevent the ar
bitrary tran- fei of property from citi
zen to citizen without legal adjudica
tion or process, and prevent the estab
lishment of tribunals for one class of
persons varying from those which de
termine the rights of all. These inhi
bitions, too, beyond all controversy,
are aimed at the action of the State
only, and have no reference to individ
uals. He cites decisions in Michigan
and Ohio in Hupport of this, and also
the Slaughter house cases of the Su
preme Court—Sixteenth Wallace—and
then deals at great length with the
outrages against the colored race, and
expresses his sympathy with that large
and respectable class of our fellow
citizens, including beyond question a
majority of the more conservative,
Christian gentlemen of the South, who
regret that there exists nowhere in
either government, State or national,
the power of punishing those mean
and cowardly murders.

Fun in the British Parliament.
London, March 4. —The proceedings
in Parliament continue to be dull, and
it is only by going to the House, sit
ting in the Speaker’s gallery, and look
ing out for absurd things, that one
can extract any amusement out of the
Legislature. In this way, however,
one may spend occasionally a merry
evening. The awkwardness of many of
the members is comical. The other
night Mr. Pell got up to move an
amendment to Mr. Fawcett’s motion
concerning the education of the chil
dren of the peasants. “No member
can be more sensible than I am,” he
began; and there he forgot what he
was going to say, and paused, while
a titter ran through the House. “No
member,” he resumed, “ can be more
sensible than I am”— and again
he stopped, amid the cries of “ Hear!
hear ! ” “No member, Mr. Speaker,
can be more sensible than I am ” —a
voice from below the gallery, “ Who
denies it?”—“that the question of ed
ucation, etc.”
The Hon. Mr. Stanley, Earl Derby's
brother and heir presumptive, is a
member of long standing and much
experience ; but his manner of speak
ing is something terrible. He is as
nervous and embarrassed as if he were
a school boy. He gets up to speak
with a large piece of paper in his hand,
on which he has made his notes. He
fumbles this over and never finds what
he looks for. “I think, sir,” he says,
“I think, that is, I would venture to
say”—a long silenee, in which the
house sits ia respectful silence—”
“ now, this question is one in which a
colonel, or I may say a major, might,
in point of fact —that is, I think, sup
posing his regiment were ordered to
India—to India”—another long pause,
in which someone says, in a stage
whisper, "On, Stanley, on!” “I was
saying, sir that a major or a colonel”
—a pause and a nervous search
of the notes—“ but, sir, to come to the
point”—and so on for twenty minutes.
One hears, also, the strangest pronun
ciations of Euglisk—l don’t mean from
the Irish members. Here, for instance,
is Mr. Trevelyan : “Ifl am osked to
ouswer this, I reply that if offairs come
to such a pauss that the commaund of
a regiment, etc.”
The other night John Bright unex

cadence of his powers. His voice was
tremulous, and his broad frame seemed
very weak. He laid himself open, also,
by a clumsy slip, to a severe retort
from Mr. Disraeli, who does not like
Mr. Bright at all, and who seemed to
take a malicious pleasure in torment
ing the sick lion.
ftlichmond Dispatch.
THE RICHMOND GASWORKS.
Extract from Mayor Keiley’s Report.
The report of operations in this de
partment (the Gas Works) is in every
respect satisfactory. For thorough
purification, high luminary power, and
entire adequacy of supply the gas pro
duction of Richmond will compare fa
vorably with any in the country, while
on the score of cost it is not only the
cheapest gas furnished in the Common
wealth, but the rate is lower than the
average in any State or Territory in
the Union. I have before me a table
of tho average cost of gas to the con
sumer in each political subdivision of
the country, and the lowest—West
Virginia—is 33.11, while to the people
of Richmond gas is furnished at 32.85
per thousand—the average net price
throughout the United States being
34.32>£ per one thousand cubic feet.
When we remember that this low rate
is charged for an unsurpassed article,
and that withal a profit of 380,000 was
realized last year on an estimated capi
tal in the value of the works of 31,000,-
000 the management of this branch of
the public service may with confidence
claim the approbation of the citizens.
During the coming year arrange
ments will be made for the direct de
livery of the gas from the lower instead
of as at present, making a second
storage in the old works on Cary street.
This will be the prelude to the aban
donment at no distant day of the upper
works, for the continuance of which no
better reason can be assigned than the
unwillingness to relinquish property
which cost a great deal of money, how
ever useless at present. The manu
facture and storage of gas should be at
the same point and under a single con
trol ; and there are, besides, reasons of
safety to adjacent property which make
it desirable that the upp jr works should
be removed as soon as practicable.
During the year the consumption of
gas has been diminished nearly two
millions of cubic feet. An examination
of the records at the office will show
that this is due first to the greater
economy in the public expenditure,
which was ono million four hundred
and twenty-three thousand two hun
dred and ninety-four (1,423,294) feet
less in 1874 than in 1873, and secondly,
to the diminished consumption by the
Chesapeake &nd Ohio Railroad Com
pany, which, during the years 1873-74,
paid the city 35,487 for gas, used prin
cipally in the tunnel.
The private use of gas has increased,
and must continue to increase. I ro
commend that section 27 of chapter 31
of the city ordinances be amended by
tho adoption of the words: “or the
chief of police,” so as to allow that
officer when the necessity arises to or
der the lighting of the city lamps on
other nights than those indicated by
the almanac as moonless nights. As
the lamps are lit by the police, it seems
best to lodge this power in the hands
of this officer as a matter of con
venience. The revenue from this de
partment has been already stated at
380,000. Of this sum 334,603 were paid
into the public treasury, and the resi
due is accounted for by the gratuitous
supply to the public officers, buildings
and streets. Not the least gratifying
feature of the administration of this
department is the faithfulness witli
which the collection of the bills is en
forced. During the year 33.440 bills,
calling for 3167,378, were ma le out.—
The uncollected portion amounts to
but 3412, or about twenty-four cents in
every hundred dollars. The delin
quency has been reduced over eighty
per cent in four years.
The following table will show the
chief items of interest in the statistics
of this department for the past two
years:
_ , ... 1873. 1874.
Coal carbonized (bushels) 298.308 292,750
Gas reduced (feet) 84,3 .2.800 82,390,500
Public consumption
M(feet) 17,35 *,778 15.929,484
Private consumption(ft.).sß,s23,Bßo 68,288,024
Paid for coal $75,974 $-3,199
Paid for other expenses.. 91,529 88,616
Received from coke, &c... 11,433 9.041
Received from gas 167,721 167,378
This table is chiefly interesting, as
showing that tho improved financial
condition of the works is not owing to
increased consumption, but to economy
in management. Excluding construc
tion accounts and interest on capital,
each thousand feet of gas produced in
1873 cost 31.98, each thousand in 1874
cost 31-72 to manufacture—a gain of
27 ceuts.per thousand.
The proposition still further to re
duce the price of gas because the city
is at least getting a fair interest on her
investment, will, I presume, receive
little favor at the hands of the Coun
cil. If the record of the works from
their introduction were examined it
would be found that, so far from the
city being in debt to the gas consum
ers, the latter were under a heavy ob
ligation to the public at large, from
whose united contributions the works
were built and maintained.
Moreover, if the principle is a just
one it should be extended to tho water
supply, and the result would be that
the water consumers, who are, in the
main, the gas consumers, would lose a
dollar-on their water rates for every
dime they would save on their gas bills.
The revenue lights the streets and
public buildings, which are used by all,
and the surplus lightens the burden of
general taxation borne by all.
A Short Sermon.— An eminent cler
gyman in Trenton, N. J., sat in his
study, some time since, busily engaged
in preparing his Sunday sermon, when
his little boy toddled into the room,
and holding up his pinched finger, said,
with an expression of suffering, “Look,
pop; how I hurt it.” The father, inter
rupted iu the middle of a senteuce,
glanced hastily at him, and with just
the slightest tone of impatience, said,
“I can’t help it, sonny.” The little fel
low’s eyes grow bigger, and, as he
turned to go out, he said in a low voice,
“Yes you could; you might have said
‘Oh!’ ” There was a sermon in minia
ture.
There are 4,000,000 cats in Great
Britain, and it is estimated that each
cat kills an average of twenty mice or
rats every year. It is estimated fur
ther that every rat or mouse, if it lived,
would injure property to the extent of
£1 sterling. If all this is true, pussy
saves to that country every year 3400,-
000,000, and she might pay off the Na
tional debt if she chose.

Gas Bills.
What a conscientious piece of me
chanism is a gas meter! Like little
George Washington, “ it can’t tell a lie.”
The Pope’s “ infallibility ” is sometimes
questioned by inconsiderate people,
but what shall we say of the man who
can stand up before the receiving tell
er in tho gas company’s office and de
liberately intimate the possibility of in
accuracy iu a gas bill; why the thing
is so absurd? How do you suppose
the tiny little pointers iu the dial plates
spin round and round unless gas does
it ? You suggest it may be wind —as
sometimes the match is blown out of
your hand iu lighting. You don’t want
to buy wind by the foot, why, by step
ping to the door, you can, perhaps, get
a whole hurricane free of expense.—
But you are told The quality has noth
ing to do in governing tho quantity.
If you are in pursuit of the ‘ wtnj vs it ?”
that your bill is larger by half than
formerly, and that formerly it was out
of all reason, why just go down cellar
and see for yourself—or what is better,
take tho mau-with-the-lantern’s word
for it. But your house has been closed,
or you have been prudent, and there
you get laughed at again. Y r ou igno
ramus ! don’t you see the figures,
thusly :

Soventy-flve hundred cubic feet or gas,
or what is the same to the Company
wind—at 31 cents per hundred, equals
324.37.
You protest that having but two
burners, and your habits of early re
tirement, would uot amount to that;
and furthermore, your neighbor who
runs a dozen burners to your one,“has
a bill no larger. “Yes, but you see the
figures, don’t you ? are they not accu
rately added and subtracted ? If there
are any errors it is in your favor and
against the Company, for in case meters
could get out of order, they would re
gister less instead of more, owing to
friction in the machinery,” etc., etc. —
You are cou -sold, pay your bill, take a
receipt and a bland smile from the re
ceiver, and resolve yuurself into a com
mittee of one to pay your next quar
terly bill to King Kerosene.
This is how Mary Kyle Dallas says

Keep the front locks on pins all night
and let them tickle his eyes all day;
