My Call on "Dexter."

The other day I-wcRit up to Fifty-sixth street to see our new Ledger stable. Mr.. Bonner was out, but his horses were not. Now, I didn't go to see them do their 2:40's, but to gaze at them artistically and of course I wanted them to stand still long enough for me to do it, which I beliveis not their normal condition. I had a fancy, too, for inspecting them through the bars of their respective doors for, you see, my nerves had been thrown a little out of gear by a huge blood-hound, that made for me as I was eutering the stable-yard, but who, iu consideration of my being a Ledger contributor, let me of easy in my boots.

Well, the first thing that strucK my New England bred eyes was the perfect neatness and polish and beauty of every inch of floor and ceiling in that stable. A place for everything, and everything in its place, and Mrs. Bonner nothing to do with either. Shining harness, shining vehicles, big wheels and small seats, and nothing to hold on to—but the natty reins a perfectly awful reflection to me, but then Mr. Bonner's arm is an arm. On the wall was something the size of a full moon red, with a fanciful oak frame. It looked like a huge pincushion, and sure enough it was. Stuck tull of wooden pins, to fasten the blankets of those horses round their wicked, strong necks. If it hadn't been for that blood-hound which I heard snifling round after me from the outside, I should hare inspected it more carefully but it was fastened to the door, and—well, IihoughtI'd pass on to see Dexter. My dear! your new seal-skin isu't softer, browner, nor more lovelier than that creature's skin. As to his tail, your latest "switch" is nothing to it. Mr. Bonner not being present toRareyfy him, he kicked out his hind leg at me in a very suggestive manner so, with an Oh, Gracious! I requested to have his door closed, for there was a glitter in his eye which was not at all Scriptural. Besides, I once flew through Harlem Lane behind him, and didn't get the color back into my lips for a week after. To compose myself I passed ou to Lantern, the Grandpa of the stable, though I have known grandparents rather frisky in my day. He was reposing on his laurels, and turned around his head to me as if to ask, Why don't you? Alas! I have yet to earu them, and unlike him, I have to pin on my own blanket, and comb my own hair, the buy my own shoes that's why I don't, old Lantern.

Then I went to see Startle, as if I needed startling any more, when I had beeu muttering pater-nosters ever since I saw that horrid bloodhound. Well,-Startle is a beauty, and he knew it, too. Just like apiece of satin, with his tail sweeping the floor. After I had looked at the whole ten, I said to myself, if ever a man earned the right to all these beautiful creatures, Robert Bonner has from the time he first began to set types in a printing office, down, or rather up, to the present, day. Every proud moment that he enjoys them, in or out of that handsome stable, he is fairly entitled to, and he is eutitled to that bloodhound, and I wouldn't rob him of that for the wide world FANNY FHRN-. 1 ,s -—Jtf, Y.

A Hundred Years to Come.

No man ever appears to think how soon he must sink into oblivion—that we are one generation of millions. Yet such is the fact. Time and progress have through countless ages come marching hand in hand, the one destroying, the other building up. They seem to create little or no commotion, aud the work of destruction is easily accomplished a as child tearing to pieces a rose. Yet such is the fact. A hundred years hence, and much that we now see around us will have passed away. It is but a repitition of life's story we are born, we die and hence we will grieve over these venerable piles, finding the common level of their prototypes in Mature, ultimate death.

TERRE HAUTE, INJD.: WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 27, 1871.

Inaugural Address of Governor Newton Booth, of California. FELLOW CITIZENS: Established custom requires that the Governor of the State at the beginning of his term of office shall briefly outline the policy he desires to exemplify in his administration. I discharge this duty not without diffidence, lor lam fully aware that experience in the execution of the laws as they are can alone give that exact knowledge of their details and actual working which is of the highest value in forming an opinion of their efficiency and of the necessity of amendment.

The statement of general principles is comparatively easy their practical application to affairs is more difficult, and to some extent experimental. Not every theory will bear the test of practice, and too mucir legislation is one of the recognized evils of government. One of the most philosophical and correct thinkers of modern times has affirmed that the wisdom of the legislator is oftener shown in the repeal of old statutes than in the enactment of new.

That government will be best which confines itself most strictly within the sphere of its duties which, recognizing the sacredness of personal freedom, imposes no more"restriction upon the individual than is necessary for the safety of society, and whose laws, like those of nature, are impartial in design and gen» eral in their operation. The great mass of the people neither expect nor desire any benefits from governments which are not common to all. There will always be, however, an active few seeking the advancement of their own intesest by legislation, and they will never be wanting in specious arguments iu their own behalf, while the public welfare is apt to

be sUont until it is iujured.

TEST OF LEGISLATION.

The most necessary laws will often confer incidental personal advantages. School houses and highways will best accommodate those who live nearest to them public buildings may advance the value of contiguous property public offiees involve the payment of fees and salaries to individuals.

From the nature of things it is impossible that law should equalize human conditions. There is one test, however, which should be applied to every measure of legislation—is the general good the object, and individual advantage the necessity? or is individual profit the object, and the general good the incident or pretext? It should always be remembered that government is ouly the agent of the people for specified purposes that it should never attempt to do for the people what they can as well do for themselves, and that, having nothing of its own to bestow, it cannot give to one without taking from another. The law of compensation is inexorable, and in political economy it will be forever true that to seek a partial good is to incur a general evil.

No body of men was ever wise enough to adjust the conflicting interests and direct the various industries of a large community. To attempt it is to disturb the equilibrium of society. Every citizen has the same right to protection from his government. Under the security afforded by a just government, extending equal protection, enterprise and labor will fiud their most profitable channels, character its best development, and society its most harmonious organization. Brilliant schemes that promise immediate benefits in a particular direction appeal strongly to the imagination, but their highest success is too dearly paid! for by the sense of injustice which impairs the respect for law and weakens the ties of patriotism.

IDEA OF GOVERNMENT.

It follows that my own idea of government is that law should be the simplest possible expression of the necessities of society, and administration a matter of business, not of show. It does not follow, if Xveall agree in this, that we shall be able to realize our ideal. I trust, however, we shall honestly try.

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT OF CITIES. It is sometimes conceded that the Democratic theory fails in its appliation to the muuicipal government of large cities. If it does, necessarily its ultimate failure will be entire, for diverse principles of government connot permanently obtain in the same general system, aud the tendency of population is more and more toward centralization. Perhaps the cause of failure may be found rather in the methods of application than in the principle itself. The city, where public opinion is most concentrated, and its great organ, the press, most powerful, where the interests to be affected are most immediate, should be as capable of municipal self-government as the State and nation are of geueral government. The experiment should be fairly tried, without divided responsiblity, and with the certainty that the municipal regulations of a city, beiug made by itself, will be such as it deserves.

SUBSIDIES.

It is the history of every country that with increasing wealth there is an increasing tendency toward centralization, and a growing danger that aggregated capital will obtain undue political influence. "It is one of the problems of government to prevent the ruling power from becoming all-powerful." Whether the ruling power is found in numbers, where it is supposed to be, or in money, where it too Joften is, every care should be taken to restrain its exercise within the bounds of justice.. In administering the government we are called upon to consider not only immediate material advantages, but ultimate moral effects. It is certain that where money is a political power at all, there is a constant danger that it will become all-powerful. It is the most active principle of society, forever seeking its own, and not apt to be content with that. When the accumulation of wealth is the legitimate result of energy and sagacity, it is a stimulant to industry and enterprise, and their justreward when conferred by favoritism of law, it is first an incentive to, then a source of political corruption. If any favors are granted at all they should be to the weak, and not the strong. But the law should be no respecter of persons, if for no other reason because favors granted to any are certain to gravitate to the strongest power. FREE SCHOOLS AND COMPULSORY EDUCA

TION.

The American system of free schools is one of the most beneficent outgrowths of our history. In some other countries education is as general, and as free, but in none is the principle so well recognizejji that independent manhood is an object of greater solicitude than a powerful State that man should be educated for his own sake, and not as a part of governmental machinery that he is higher than the State, aud that society and law are valuable only as they enable him to become more a man. The right of every child to an elementary education is as sacred as his right to air and light to deprive him of it is to deprive him of the sixth sense of civilization, and in the future will remand him to a parish caste. Public sentiment in this State in favor of "compulsory education" is general, &nd not partisan. It does not propose to interfere with the right of the parent to select a school for his children or to educate them at home, bu* toenfofce the right of the child as a member of society which he himself

is powerless to do. The statutes of Michigan, Texas, and other States that have legislated upon this subject may be studied with advantage in framing our own. THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION INDEPENDENT

OF COLOR.

The amendments to the Federal Constitution which make the rights of citizens independent of color have been so generally acquiesced iu that it is a part of the political creed of both the great national parties to leave them undisturbed. The impropriety of imposing the duties of citizenship upon auy class of persons, aud depriving them of the privileges which fit them for a proper discharge of those duties, is manifest and the injustice of compelling any parent, under penalty, to educate his children, and denying him an equal opportunity with all others to do so, while taxing him for the support of schols whose doors are closed in his face, is too gross and palpable to be allowed. No Republican State can afford to violate the fundamental law of justice by making arbitraly distinctions among its citizens, or to dishonor any one for an accident of birth who may be called upon to peril his life for his country. Whoever is clothed with the dignity of American citizenship should be able to stand erect iu the consciousness that he is the equal before the law with every other citizen— that the Republic which claims his allegiance knows neither high nor low, nor rich nor poor, but recognizes all citizens as''peers of the realm." All badges of distinction that are relics of the slaveholding era of our. national history should pass away with the system they commemorate. Until the State graduates penalties, it cannot justly graduate

of caste without, and no sectarian teaching within, which will prevent any child from freely entering.

CHINESE IMMIGRATION.

The introduction to this State of large numbers of Asiatics has excited the jealousy of one class of citizens and the anxiety of all. That the immediate effects of this immigration will be to cheapen labor is apparent, and in the hifiux of this race the laboring classes fiud cause for alarm, while the political student and the class not dependent upon manual labor for immediate support regard with apprehension the introduction of a people into our midst so different from our own as to preclude the possibility of assimilation. These fears and ap prehensions find full expression in the platforms of both political parties. That the introduction of this race cheapens labor aud that many industries have been prosecuted and are now made feasible through this labor cannot be denied, but that cheap labor and the immediate material development of our various resources are the highest objects to be considered may well be questioned. Material wealth, that form of property which manifests itself in great and costly enterprises, expensive mansions and other indicia of opulence, though valuable in themselves, and the accepted evidences of prosperity, may be purchased at a cost and maintained by a means that will make them but the sure evidence of a nation's de^dence. It may be true in a large sense that the interests of capital and labor are the same but the capitalist and laborer do not make bargains. with each other under the principles of ab stract political economy. Each is prompted by self-interest, and pushes any advantage offered by the occasion. Each avails himself of the other's necessities.

Any system which introduces a class of laborers whose wages are exceptionally low for special reasons, gives the capitalist that advantage in makiug terms and whatever has a tendency to establish a fixed line of demarcation between capital and labor and create a laboring caste is a social and political evil. Under the stimulus of mechanical inventions there is no danger but wealth will be created with sufficient activity. The danger is it will be massed, and not distributed, and that danger will be increased by any system which has tendency to make labor servile or place human labor upon an exact equality with the productive power of machinery. The control of the Asiatic immigration, however, lies exclusively with- the Federal Government. Treaties, c.ommercial relations, and national traditions are all arrayed against any interference with free emigration to these shores, and much difficulty may be found in bringing our national legislators to fully comprehend the evils threatened, which are now local, aud not general. It is the general sense of the public that Congress should be memorialized upon this subject, and such restrictions sought at the hands of the Federal Government as will secure this State, with its hopeful future, to the possession of a people that can share equally with each other in political power.
