CIVIL RIGHTS I L

The following is a brief abstract Of the
provisions Of the Civil Rights Bill which
has passed both Houses of Congress, and
is now in the hands Of the President.
There is a good deal Of speculation among
politicians as to whether the President will
sign it or not.
The first section provides that all
persons horn in the United States, and not
subjec, to any foreign power, excluding
Indians not taxed, are hereby declared to
be citizens of the United States without
distinction Of color, but the inhabitants Of
every race and color, without regard to
any previous condition Of slavery or in
voluntary servitude, except as a punish
ment for crime whereof the party shall
have been duly convicted, shall have the
| same right to make and enforce contracts
to sue, and be parties to suits, to give evil
| dence, and to inherit, purchase, lease, sell,
| hold and convey real and personal pro-
per,y. and to have a full and equal benefit
| Of all the avs and proceedings for the Sc
curi,y of person and property, and shall be
subject to like punishment, pains, penal
ties, and to none other, any law, statute,
ordinance, regulation or custom, to the
contrary notwithstanding
The second section says: Any person
who, under color OF any law snail SUBJECT
or cause to be subjected any ~inhaol,ant Of
any STATE ot letr'o'y 10 oePr''auon u
any riShs ecure or protected oy TINS act

THE SUPREME COURT ON MIN.
ING TITLES.

A decision wa rendered by tho SUI
preme Court Of the United States, on the
10th of February, Of interest to holders Of
mining claims in the Pacific States. AT
the last session of Congress, when the bill
recognizing the United States Circuit
Court of the Tenth District was under dis
cussion, Senators Stewart and Conness
succeeded in having the bill so amended
as to require the Supreme Court to re-
ceive evidence as to possessory titles to
mining claims upon the public domain.
Previously the Court had held that all
miners were trespassers, and that q party
dispossessed of a claim by force had no
right which could be recognized BY that
tribunal. The case lately decided was the
first that has arisen since the passage Of
the law alluded to above, and the Court
has given the mining code of the Pacific
States very much the same sanction and
effect as is given to it by the statutes OF
California and Nevada. and the decisions
of the State Courts. The case was that
| Of Strong vs.. Sparrow. in which several
hundred feet of the Yellow Jacket mine,
in Gold Hill. were in litigation, and is Of
interest from the fact that it first drew
from the Supreme Court Of the United
States an affirmation of the equity Of min
ing laws, and gives them effect beyond,
and independent of, legislation. A mo-
ton was made to dismiss the appeal be-
cause there could be no right in individ-
uals to these mines, the titles to the same
being in the United States. The Court
refused to dismiss the writ, and Chief
Justice Chase, in giving the opinion, said /:
1--WE cannot shut our eyes to the pub
lie history which informs US that under
the legislation [of Nevada, and not only
without interference by the National
Government, but under its implied sane
ton, vast mining interests have grown up.
employing many millions Of capital, and
contributing largely to the prosperity and
improvement Of the whole country"
The BuHetin', Washington correspon-
dent, referring to this decision, says:
1.-THE law thus declared by the Court
gives in effect to our Pacific mining rights
the same characteristics that were intended
by the Ac. Of last Winter, and provides
the amplcst security for the property that
has been acquired by the tacit consent OF
Congress. Since this opinion, applied as
it will be. and probably before long. in
numerous other cases. it will be impossible
to pass any act for the survey and sale OF
the mineral lands which fails to recognize
and confirm the title Of parties in bona
Ede possession prior to its passage.
Rights have accrued under the non-inter-
ference policy of Congress, which that
body cannot fail to hold sacred, whatever
change of policy for the future it may see
tit to make with reference to mineral land,
| unoccupied."

Col. +. A. BgE.-A correspondent Of
the Gold Hill .Netcs, writing ftom San
Francisco. says that Col. F. A. Bee. OF
this city, is going to s~uperintend the con-
struction Of the proposed railroad between
San Jose and Jacksonville. A more thor
oush and energetic business man cannot
be found than the Colonel, and what is OF
equal importance in enterprises OF this
nature, capitalists have confidence in
him, and will invest in any enterprise he
takes hold of.-PiaeerriHs Mirror.
We can endorse every syllable in the
above commendation. Col. Bee Is one oil
the most e~nterprising men on this Coast.
He i. was who projected the tr%ans-con,i-
mental telegraph line, and completed the
frs, telegraph over the Sierra Nevada
He is a man of un,iring energy, and unites
10 all Of his admirable business qua'6ca-
tons social" gifts Of the very first order.
W. regret that we do not hear that Col.
Bee is to s~uperin,end the construction OF
a railroad from Placerville to Strawberry.
We still expect to hear Of his fighting it
out on that line before many month, pass
away.

MEDICAL CONGRESS- IN CON-
STANTINOPLE.

The Emperor Of France has proposed a
consultation of physicians to meet at Con-
s,sntinople and discuss the probable origin
and progress of cholera, and report the
best means Of aver,ing this scourge. The
Sultan has acquiesced and appointed one
or two Of his own best physicians, and so
have several European Powers. Our
Government has been invited TO send rep
rescnta,ives, and the matter is under con-
sideration. The fact is, the French either
have discovered, or say they have, proof
that the great cause of the cholera is to be
found in the annual pilgrimages made to
Mecca; the filth OF the 100, 900 pilgrims,
and the carcasses OF the animals they kill
being ssrewed on the way. and these, with
the privations and poverty they suffer, and
the intense heat they have to endure, breed
pes,ilence. II was q march Of British
troops in India, suffering from great heat
and privation. that is said, in 1917, TO
have produced the cholera which rsvaged
Europe in 1881. and visited this country
in 1882. The Emperor of France pro-
poses. i, is said, if such should prove to
ba the cause Of this epidemic, to suggest
some means by which the annual pilgrim
ages may be either abolished or human
lied.
Some Of the schemes Of the Emperor
Napoleon are sagacious, intellectual. far
reaching, and even fair in Themselves
plans, in fact, tina, the world must come
TO, sooner or later. although his motive
NAV be to u them to his WI account.
The bes, way with such propositions is
often TO coneede everything to what is fair
and good in them. only taking the most
careful precautions that no n person or
Power shall thereby gain an unfair adran-
,ase. A medical congress. that shall bring
facts and science together from all quarters
Of the globe, with a view to arresting the
march Of a disease like the cholera, will
be q new thing in the history Of the race.
1, would be best. perhaps, should it have
been originated and carried through as
entirely a scientific convention, not sup
ported by, but independent Of, all Gov
m influences. Moreover, as the
world becomes more and more linked by
science and ommerce by ,elegraphs and
steam. by railroads and even BY epidemics,
there mus, clearly be more and more Of
international consultation. Il will not
now do to let all the power Of these move
men,s &c, into bad and dangerous hands,
bu. TO arrange programmes so fair and just
and equal tina, evil shall be prevented and
the good extracted.
After the war of Independence, our own
States, jealous of their liberties and rights
sevcrally, wouldlis,en to no union stronger
than a Confederation. But a little ex-
perience led them. in 1877, TO seek acloser
compac, and unity. So it must be in the
future history Of mankind, and we, Of all
nations, ought to be prepared for this
coming change by broader and bet.er-con-
sidercd principles Of international law and
order among mankind than other nations
yet conceive.
