The Civil Rights Bill--.Did it Receive q
Two.thirds Vote in the Senate?

OIOoSc AtUtOtTUt, duu tu0 lOiIOWlUO cxtTdcC
from letter of Druid" to the New York
News reiterates the argument, that the Civil
Rights Bill has not received the requisite or
Constitutional twonhirds vote in the Senate,
but on Y two thirds Of the votes of the ilIe,
gal "Rump." While this is really the case
what prospect is there that the result can be
changed; Congress certainly will not do it
and the usurping faction will not yield the
advantage they have gained for any protests
that may be urged, on the grounds Of right
and Justice
When the expressed will Of tho people is
set aside, as in this State, by partisan
Court, and the right of suffrage made con-
temptlble and well nigh worthless by un>
faithful judges, of what use to appeal to the
honor or good faith of the WASHINGTON
"Rump!" We live under an Abolition des
potsm-our few remaining rights are held
10y the permission of clique of 'Congres,
sonal usurpers, but the eud is not yet
Their monstrous and infamous acts have not
reached the clmax-the men who have haz
arded so much to gain their objects will not
stop short of the complete suhjpgation Of
the American people to the despotism they
have reared at so vast an expenditure of
treasure and blood. Evil and wicked bas
been the career of the Abolition Jacobins but
worse remains behind"
The people should hold public meetings
wherein they should express their detesla'
ton of the acts of the "Rump" fanatics their
faith in the policy of the President; their
desire for peace and reunion. Public senti'
ment unequivocally expressed in popular

career of crime. The experiment should be
tried-and the warning voice of the people
heard without delay.
We quote the argument of the News cor,
respondent concerning the Senate twothrds
vote:
"Ihe manner in which this bill was passed.

lcals resorted in order to secure two-thirds
vote in the Senate, and the shameful scenes
which marked lis passage over the veto in

properly of ~ members. OF these % are
excluded from their seats by the Radicals,
and one had been expelled whose right to
his seat even Mr.. Trumbul and the Judici.
ary Committee had declared to be as perfect
AS the right Of Mr., Sumner or Mr. Wade to
theirs. With these % Senators in their seats,
.43 votes would have been necessary to con-
stitue the required lwo-thirds vote. In other
words the Radicals would have lacked Is
votes of having the number requisite to carr
ry the bill over the Presidents veto. On
the other hand, the votes of these % absent
Senators would have been added to the l5
who voted against the bill, making % votes
in support of the veto. The Civil Rights
Bill, therefore, has not been passed by two
thirds vote of the Senate, but only by two
thirds vote of the revolutionary faction
there, who have usurped the power Of that
body. Let it not be expected, then, that the
President will execute an act passed by such
palpabe violation Of the Constitution
AS soon as an occasion arises, therefore, for
the execution of this act, and the President
refuses to excite it, the proceedings for iml
peachment will be commenced"
A FoRcIBLE FAcr.-The IN J) True Ame,

interesting fact, than is contained in the fol
lowing: "Business would greatly revive If
Congress would adjourn, and let the coun-
try settle down. The constant excitement
and the unsettled state Of public affairs is
doing more damage to the commercial and
industrial interests of the country than a

GERMAN CURE FOR Take
a pound of pure honey, and let it boil gently
in a stewpan; then, having washed, scraped
clean, and finely grated with sharp crater
two large sticks Of fresh horse radisb, stir
in the honey as much as you possibly can.
1t must remain in a boiling state about five
minutee, but stirred so as not to burn; after
which, put into small earthern pots, or
jar, and keep it covered up for use. Two
or three table spoonfuls day, or more, ac'
cordng to the strength of the patient and
some time persisted in, is said to perform
wonders, even where there is confirmed
phlhiss pulmonais or consumption of the
lungs. 1t is also servceable in all coughs
where the lungs are greatly affected.
