Civil Rights Bill.

So monstrous are the features of the
Civil Rights Bill, which has just been vetoed
by the President, that the Hon. John A.
bingham, of Ohio, one of the most bitter
and INSCRIPTIONS radical Republicans in
the House, felt called upon to denouncc it,
lie said:
'If civil rights has this extent, what
then, is proposed by the provision of the
first section? Simply to strike down by
Congressional enactment every state con-
stituton which makes discrimination on
account of race or color in any of the civil
rights of the citizens. l ght say here,
without the least fear of contradiction, that
there is scarcely state in this Union which
does not, by its constitution or by its stat
ute law, make some discrimination on ac-
count of race or color between citizens of
the United States in respect Of civil rights
SPY the constitution of my own state,
neither the right of the elective franchise
nor the franchise of Office can be conferred
upon any citizen of the United States, save
upon a white citizen of the United States.
What do you propose to do by this bill
You propose to make it q misdemednor, pan,
ishdJteupon conriction By. fine and imprison-
mem an the penitentia'y, for the GOre'nor
Of Ohio to obey the requirements Of the
constitution Of the State, which requires
that none shall be elected, and, therefore,
none commissioned to Office in that State,
save white citizens of the United States.

''lf the bill of rights, as has been SOL
emily ruled by the Supreme Court of the
United States, does not limit the powers of
States and prohibit such gross injustice
by States, it does limit the power of Con-
grcss and prohibit any such Legislation by
Congress-"
''But, sir, on yesterday, the honorable
gentleman from Pennsylvania, Mr.. Broom
al) than whom there is no more candid or
just gentleman in the House, treated this
measure as though it was bill simply for
the protection of freedmen in their rights
for the time being in the late instruction.

applies to every state in the Union, to states
| which have never been in instruction, and
is to be enforced in every state of the Union
| not only for the present, but for all future
time, or until it shall be repealed by some
subsequent act of Congress. 1t does not
expire by virtue of its own Limitation; it is
intended to be permanent"

Triehina.
The Chicago Times reports that FIVE so-
rams LEARNED ducks) of tho Academy Of
Sciences of that city, have taken mi
croscope and square inch of pork, each,
and have concluded that there arc one mil
lion trichinos (if this is the plural) in a
common meal Of pork. By the time per-
son eats hog Of 200 pounds in weight,
he will have swallowed following 4 ounces
to the mcal) the enormous amount Of 500
millions of the pestiferous worms! In
view of this fact, who among US is not
anxious to become an Israelite? 1t is also
discovered that angle worms have the dis
case, and hence chickens are infected; that
mon is also wormy, and hence baked mis-
sionary will not be SO popular hereafter
among the south sea cannibals; that cats
arc similarly diseased, and therefore John
Chinaman must let that favored deity of
the ancient Egyptians alone. 1t is becom-
ing question now whether the excellence
and richness of meats of all kinds is not
owing to the presence of this wondrous
latter-day scare-worm. Why not? Can
not this parasite, as it is called, be as much
: partof the hog as the bristles which Or
nament his outer surface? Both are hairy.
Webster tells US that Trichina is pronounc-
Cd trick-ki-na, the accent on the second
syllable; it is from the Greek, and means
hair or hairy. We are happy to inform
our readers that we have procured, at con-
siderable expense, one Of these miserable
curiosities, and it will afford our "show-
man" pleasure to exhibit it; it is so placed
- to be visible to the naked eye-a very
large specimen, we suppose.
Serisusly-if the water We drink were
submitted to microscopic power of 500,
how many beasts and reptiles do you sup
pose would go down our threats in the
course Of year? 1t is saidthat if man
realized the delicacy of the internal ma
chinery which runs his corporosity, he
would be afraid to move lest some part of
it should break and produce death. Let
vs. not, then, put too fine point on our
investigations. We can see blotches
enough in the moral and the physical
world without the purchase Of micro
scope to examine our neighbors' faults, or
the quality Of our food. Cook your pork
we'll, and trichina will not hurt you.

The North Iowa TINES is out in a new
dress. If any journal of the state deserves
prosperity, it is the Times. Its editors
are gentlemen who are above indulging in
low filings and personalities. It has al
wsys discussed the political questions of
the day in the spirit Of candor and moder-
stion rather than in the spirit of partisan
siin, and is, consequently, popular with
alI parties in this county. The Times is
for the Union and the Constitution, is live
~ and spicy, and Patriotic al over. Long
may it wave! 5a29

THE LEvEE.-It is complained by steam
boat men, commission men and travel
lers, that Buses and Drays monopolize too
much of the wharf when steamers arrive.
They get down to the end of the staging
or so near it as to be in the way of the de-
livery or receipt of goods and passengers.
A strife to get the nearest almost led to
personal collision one day last week. we
have nobody to blame, because we were
not there at the time; but it is suggested
by those who were present and regretted
the alteration as well as the too close oc-
cupancy of the rivers edge by teams, that
all vehicles for the conveyance OF passen-
gers, freight or baggage shall stand
little back - say twenty or thirty feet
from the landing, and send their runners
to solicit. We have no personal interest
in the matter further than that our busi-
ness men and hotcl-runners should be too
ccntlemanly to trepass on propricty.
Our lcvee is miserable one at best. 1t
