The Civil Rights Bill,

The National htelLfgenccr says that suit
has been instituted by a negro against the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. for
refusing to sell him ticket for passage in a
first car. 1t also says that the editor of
''The Chronicle has set the social example of
receiving negroes at his mansion, where he
entertained them in the style Of disturbance
usual with him. These, as that paper Justly
says, are among the practical results Of the
enactment of the Civil Rights bill. Nothing
is wanted to establish these results but the
adoption of negro suffrage. At least SO the
Republican party believe and SO Mr.. Wen
dell Phillips declares in a late speech from
which the LutcHiyeKcer quotes this extract:
Negro suffrage means score Of negro

sentatives 1t means coored merchants in

means social equality, and that was where the
Southerner met the question. Social equali-
ty follows hard on the heel of the ballot. box,
and the South knows it, and she resists ne
gro suffrage for what must follow it,
A comparison of this with the following ex-
tract of speech of Mr.. Lincoin's, shows the
wonderful progress that public opinion has
made IN the direction of negro equality within
a very few months

say, in addition to this, that there is a physi-
cal difference between the white and black
races, which, believe, will forever forbid
the two races living together on terms of So
clai equality. And, inasmuch as they cannot
so live while they do remain together, there
must be the position ofsuperior and inferior,
and l, as much as any other man, am in favor
OF having the superior assigned to the white

Alas, poor Berkeley !

and the base and contemplate means by which
it was effected
"The machinery of the Registry Law, uni
ted with the unconstitutional aad iniquitous
system of Test Oaths, all run by reckless and
unprlnclpled partisans, placed the result-of
the election absolutely in the hands of the
radical party. Nothing was essential to their
success, but that the proper officials should
know what number of citizens it was necessa-
rry to deprive of the right to vote,-this
known, and the requisite number we're in
stantiy stricken from the list of registered yo-
tors. We have witnessed in the course of
our life some strange things in politics-but
never before have we witnessed such triainr

zenship, as has marked the official action of
Boards of Registration, under the new Reg
lstry Law Of this State Citizens of the HIGH

VIRGINIA ELECTIONS.

The election held in old Virginia on the
24th, (thc same day the farce was enacted in
the net0) was for Sherifs, and such other
county officers as are required by law. In
nearly all the counties from which we have
returns, the Conservative candidates have
been successful and radicalism is most sig
nallyrebuked.
In Frederick county, after quite an ex-
citing contest, Glaize was chosen by ma
jority Of 400 over Trenary, the present radi-
cal incumbent.
In Clarke, Col. Dearmont was chosen
Sheriff by lao majority over Mr.. Moore, and
DIR. Bonham was elected County Surveyor
In Loudoun, Col. Elijah V. White, was
elected Sheriff by large majority over the
former incumbent, Mr.. Luckett.
Fauquier REFLECTS her old and trusty SER
vaut, W. N. Hume, as Sheriff, by hand

TIE PRprENpnD- nT,Es6Ir1oN.

The Wheeling Register Of Friday last,
furnishes the following snrmise as TO tho
general result of the pretended election in
sO-called West Virginia on oath ult, which
is no more than might have been anticipated
from the gross frauds perpetrated in this and
all the other counties claimed to be within
the boundaries of the God-forsaken Domin-
ion:
THE EbEcrtoN-We have not yet re-
ceived returns that can lay any claim to
accuracy from half of the counties in the
State. Enough have been received, however.
to indicate that a majority of the votes cast
has been given for the ratification of the
constitutional amendment, but how large that
majority really is, we are yet unable to say.
In very few counties was the election con-
Quoted with any degree of fairness; the reg
istration act itself was grossly violated in
many cases, and in some places open force
was employed to prevent men from voting
for rejection. Under these circumstances,
the election held on the 2 18th cannot be re-
garded at all as correct expression of public
opinion, or as affording any evidence that a
majority of the legal voters of the State
sanction radical misrule.

FENlAN OPERATIONS.

A dispatch dated New York, June I'd,
says that the operations at niagara and the
capture Of Fort Erie were mere feints. Much
more important movements are going on at
other sections of the border These move
ments are quite formidable in extent, and
the operations will not be seen in less than
three or four days.
1t is not believed that Sweeney will con-
tinue in command of all the Fenian forces
now collecting on the border in all $4,000
strong. Gen. Wessles formerly commanding
the Department of North Carolina is to take
command in the field
Among other prominent officers are Gen.
Spear and Gen Murphy
The number of men who left New York
Thursday night amounts to 1900. $4,000
rounds of ammunition have been forwarded
from New York to the border during the last
twenty days.

THE LAST SPAWN.

That miserable old marplot from Pennsyl-
vania, Thadeus Stevens, who disgraces his
State and the nation at large, introduced into
the House of Representatives during the last
week, the last of his vile propositions on the
subject of reconstruction" 1t provides
that the present State governments are to be
recognized for municipal purposes, until the
Legislatures of these States shall call Con-
ventions for the formation of &c Legitimate /"
State governments and State Constitutions.
Negroes arc to be allowed to vote for dele
gates to these Conventions and to be eligible
to election as delegates. No person who has
held any Office, or who has sworn allegiance
to the Confederate government, will be al
lowed to vote at this election or to exercise
the elective franchise for five years. No
State Constitution is to be considered by Con.
gress which refuses the elective franchise to
negroes.

RIeHr ON THE RnooRp


Mr.. Thomas johnson, who was last week
placed on the list of Radical voters IN this
township, has taken the pains to place him
self right upon the record. lie has gone be-,
fore Justice Myers and made oath as follows
STATE OF. WEsr yfaeiS1A, D.
TL;a -SSiEFFERssS GouNTY, To-wIT:
thls'dayS IhomRs Johnson personally anneaTed
before me, Justice of the Peace, for the above
named county, and made oath that ne was entirely
West Virginia an: that he voted atEainst the aid
amendment according the best OF his knowledge
ana neiIet Given under my hand this 29lh day Of
may leoo. NATH'L MYERS, J.P.
We should like for this affidavit to have
been little more positive, although we have
no doubt that Mr.. johnson voted as he states.
The affidavit states that he voted as alleged,
to the chest of his knowledge and belief"
which some may distort to different mean
ing from that desired. By this affidavit we
are convinced that Seven men voted against
the Constitutional Amendment, and we have
the positive assurance of Mr.. Charles john
son that he also voted against the Amend
ment. This gives US eight. whilst our poll>
books only credit US with six. Is it not thus
apparent that the Commissioners of Charles
town Township have practiced a. deliberate
fraud in their return Can anything be
palmer? If there is any desire in the COM
munity to know who these commissioners are,
we will give their names in our next issue,
for we are determined that this thing shall
be ferretted out. a man who will alter poll
when he has sworn to discharge his duty
faithfully and fairly, is not to be trusted in
anvthinp
