The passage of the Civil Rights bill was
the sixth instance where two thirds of Con-
gress have enacted law without the sig
nature of the Executive. These cases are
as follows: At the second session OF the
Twenty-eighth Congress, 1S44-45, Mr.. Tyler
returned to the Senate, in which 1t Origina-
ted, the bill relating to revenue cutters and
steamers, with his objections, which, upon
reconsideration, was passed by Congress
over the veto. AT the first session of the
Thirty-fou Congress, 1S55-56, Mr.. Pierce
returned to the House of Representatives,
in which it originated, bill for continuing
the improvement of the Des Moines rapids
in the Mississippi river, and to the Senate,
in which they originated, bill to remove
distractions to navigation in the mouth of
the Mississippi river at the Southwest Pass
and Pass a L'Outre, bill making an ap-
preparation for deepening the channel over
the flats of the st. Mary's river in the State
of Michigan, and bill for deepening the
channel over st. Clair Flats, in the State
of Michigan, with his objections, which
bills, upon reconsideration by Congress,
were passed over the veto.

The Civil Rights bill Passed the
House of Representatives.

On Monday last the Civil Rights bill
passed the House of Representatives at
Washington, over the veto of the President,
by vote of 142 to Al. This was to be expect
ed, and excites no surprise; but we are sur
prised that our Representative, Hon. Co
lumbus Delano, should vote for it, after tine
speech he made in Mt. Vernon few even
ings before, and after declaring to num-
Der of our citizens that he considered the
bill unconstitutional, and that the Presi-
dent was right in vetoing it. But Column
bus Delano before his constituents at home,
and Columbus Delano as a member of the
Rump Congress at Washington, are quite
different persons. While at home he pro-
fessed to be Union man, and in his pub
lie speeches and private conversations he
denounced the Radicals in Congress with
all the bitterness and earnestness imagina-
BILE. But strange as it may seem, he went
to Washington and voted with the Jacobins
and against the President, and then re-
ceived the applause and congratulations Of
the very men he had been denouncing as
disunoinists and traitors! The truth is,
Mr.. Delano, although possessing the abili-
ty and the will to expose the Revolution
ary schemes of the disunion Radicals, lacks
the courage to vote and act against them
when it comes to a test.-Mt. Vernon Ban

The great issue before the people is,
whether all the powers of Government
shall be concentrated in the hands OF the
General Government-the States being re-
duced to the condition of counties-and
consolidated despOtism be thereby estab-
lished; or, whether those rights of local
self-government which our fathers enjoy
cd and which we inherited from them, and
without which there can be no real liberty,
no wise government, no public economy,
no light taxation, shall be preserved
A powerful faction, represented bya ma
jority in Congress, have conspired to over
throw the free and benefcent Institutions
of our fathers, and to substitute therefor an
Oligarchy of privileged classes, crushing
the mass of the people and all individual
liberty, under the weight of despotic and
unrestricted General Government. To eff
feet this object, they, in plain violation of
the Constitution, exclude eleven States
from representation in Congress, and insist
upon comforting upon negroes the right
to vote-not out Of regard to the negro,
but because they expect to be able,
with their money, to control his vote, and
thereby perpetuate their party ascendency.
Let every man who is opposed to the
schemes of the conspirators, who cherlshes
the institutions founded by our fathers,
who appreciates the necessity and benefits
of local self-government, who is opposed to
seeing the great State of Oaio shorn of her
dignity and reduced to the dependent con
dition of a county, or who is opposed to
Negro Suffrage, join with the Democracy
in rescuing our country from the grasp of
the Malignants.

Famine in Alabama.

Information from the mountainous region
of North Alabama, south of the Tennessee
river, is of a truly distressing character.
The inhabitants of that section OF country
are generally poor and ignorant, but their
loyalty to the Union has been as unques-
tionable as that of any part of the United
States. Most of the male population of
that part of Alabama have been, during the
war. either in the Federal army, or within
the Federal lines. The women were lett to
make such support as they could by the
cultivation of a poor soil. This, and the
severity of the drouth last summer, has
produced famine in that land, and the
most urgent appeals are now being made
to the charitable to save that people from
starvation. None have any greater claims
upon the charity of the Government and
the loyal people of the North than
the people of North Alabama. The
Government has for while been issuing
rations to them in limited quantities, but
the demand is not supplied sufficiently to
prevent instances of actual starvation.
Judge Wyeth, of Guntersville, Marshall
county, is now in this city soliciting aid
for the suffering of his county. He says
that he is creditably informed that three
persons have already died from absolute
want, and hundreds, many hundreds, must
perish unless quick relief is furnished.
In a population of less than
10000 there are 21S0 persons, wO-
men, children and infirm men, with
out any means of support. Ofpersons who
are able to work, but who have no means to
purchase supplies for farming operations,
there are families embracing 1000 more
OF the residue, not 20 have the means of
helping others. RatiOns for 438 persons in
Marshall county are divided among 1920,
Many of these poor creatures come for miles
on foot to get the little rations that are dis
tributed by the Government officers, leav-
| ing the little children at home alone and
starving, until the parent returns with a
morsel of bread to keep them alive another
day. The same deplorable state of affairs
exists in the counties adjacent to Marshall,
south of the Tennessee river. The minis
ters of this city have meeting to-day for
the epurpose of ofadopting measures to proper
ly present the subject to their congrega-
tions. At the meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce on Monday, an application to
| the merchants will be made for assistance.
All that is subscribed is distributed to the
suffering, irrespective of color.-NaShville

Ac0uittaI of ~ Man who KILLED
The Seducer of his Wife.

Some time since Lorenzo D. Brewer, for
merlya soldier of the 5lst Illinois Infantry,
killed his own cousin, who had seduced his
wife while he was in the army. He was in
dcted at the Fountain Circuit Court for
murder in the first degree, butt a change of
venue was granted to Montgomery county.
The trial in the Montgomery Circuit Court
occupied four days, ending on Saturday
evening at five O'Clock, and the jury came
in on Sunday noon with verdict of "Not
guilty" There was great excitement in
the court room, and public sentiment was
strongly in favor of the defendant.

The National Republican, one of the most
ardent supporters of Mr.. Llncoln's Adj
ministratiOn in the country, says "there
are two ways of destroying Republican
institutions: one by open overt attack with
beliion; and the other, far more insidious
and much more likely to be successful, tho
gradual absorption of power from the peo-
Die and its consolidation into some single
agency. The latter system is pursued in
France by the worshiper, of the Caesars
under the grandiloquent plea, OF the in
terests of civilization; it is being initiated
in this country by Congress under the
sacred name of human rights, and with the
plausible pretext OF devotion to liberty"

0bIo Statesman,
Election of School Trustee-'The
Radicals again Defeated by am
Increased Majority. r. u


Monday last, resulted, after spirited con-
test, in the choice of John j. McFarlin
(Democrat), over David N. Murray Gre
publican), by one hundred and one majOri-
ty, the vote standing: l
For J. j. McFarin. $50
For ID. N. Murray
McFarlins majority. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. .lOl
There were, counting the ballots thrown
out, 1,022 votes cast, being as large vote as
has usually been cast at State elections
The Radicals did their best to rally their
forces and struggled hard for success, but
their vitality is gone, and they were de-
feated by larger majority than at the city
election the week previous.
The result confirms the verdict rendered
by the people on the ID of April, and should
convince the most over-ZealOus follower OF
Thad. Stevens that the voters of our city
are firm in their opposition to his disunion
doctrines. ...
The leaders of the Radical faction are
now limiting that it is a very improper
thing to introduce politics into an election
for School Trustee. We can all well re-
member that at similar elections, two and
three years ago, in the palmy days OF the
Union League" these same men whose
sense of propriety is so much shocked, for
the first time put party name to the head
OF their ticket. They were then intoxi-
Gated with power, reckless in their con
duct, and exulted over the election Of their
candidates for the Board of Education as
political victories. They boastingly as
serted that no "butternut should hold any
office, not even the lowest. Times hare
changed. These political proscriptonists
are in minority, and they Immediately
begin to plead the baby act, and beg like
whipped spaniels for some consideration at
the hands ofthose they insulted and sought
to trample beneath their feet. They first
introduced politics into school matters,
when they held the power, and now, after
having put up and sought to elect their
candidate, and met with defeat, they are
Mortified that politics should be thought
