person and property as is enjoyed by white
citizens, and shall be subject to like
punishment, pains, and penalties and to
none other, any law, statute, ordinance,
regulation, or custom to the contrary
Notwithstanding"
1t may thus be seen that the recently
adopted civil rights bill directly contra
venes the proposed amendment and
declares that those shall be citizens
whom the amendment says shall not
If the radical theory of government be
correct, and this civil rights bill has
anv force or effect to annul State con-
stitutiens and State laws, then the pro
nosed amendment will be void. In case
II is adopted on the oath of May, who
ever attempts to enforce its provisions
or exclude any returned rebel from the
rights and immunities of citizenship
will he Justly liable to the penalties pre-
scribed in the civil rights bill, and may
be fined one thousand dollars and I'M
prisonod one year for every such offence
But this is not all; the civil rights
bill wipes away all the restrictive laws
that have been passed by the radicals
for the oppression of persons recently
in rebellion 1t cannot, of course, affect
the laws relating to the right of voting
but it does affect and annul several acts
of the legislature making distinctions IL
the courts between the radicals ant
their opponents. If any officer of the
State, even the Governor himself here
after attempts to execute one OF these
laws, he may be arrested and tried and
punished by the Federal Court

most pernicious measure, revolutionary
| in character and intent, and unconstitu
tional in many important particulars

The Civil Rights Hin and Con-iiiu-
IsSnni Amendment.

The radicals in the rump congress in
their blind zeal in behalf of the negro
have checbmated their brethren in this
State The civil rights bill which has
now become law, as far as it is posi-
bic for such ali enactment to be law,
has knocked the props from under the
proposed constitutional amendment in
this State, in so far As that amendment
relates to the citizenship of persons en-
gagged in the late rebellion 1t has been
said that there is no great evil un.
mixed with good" The saying seems to
be true in this case, aud the defeat of
the radical scheme in West Virginia is
the partial good that must flow from that
great evil, the civil rights bill. .
The proposed constitutional amend
ment which is the pet scheme of the
proscriptionists, and in whose support
they have marshalle,t their clans aud
exhausted their logic is intended to he
clare that No person who. since the
first day of June, 1861, has given or
shall give voluntary aii or assistance to
the rebellion against the United States.
shall BE- q citizen Of his State. or be al
lowed TO vote at any election held
