The Civil Rights Kill

The bill, which has attracted so much infer
est, not more from the results sought to be ac
compllshed by it in the event of its becomino
law, than from its almost certain veto Iv tbl
PRESIDENT The general feature, of the bill
are: 10 secure to all persons, of whatever race
or color, exclusive Of Indians, not taxed tbc
same right in every State and Territory to
MAKE ana enforce contracts, to sue and be sued
De parties and give evidence, to inherit pur.
chase, lease, sell, hold and convey nersonal
property, and in full and equal benefit of all
laws ana proceedings for the security of person
anu property as is enjoyed by white citizens. -
ana to make them subject to the same penal
tleS' pains and punishmcnts, and no Others.
any law statute, ordinance, regulation or CHS
tom TO the contrary notwithstanding. 1t pro-
'Iues that any person who shall cause any citi-
zen to be deprived Of etherof therights above
reeltcd shall be punished by fine not exceed
ing thousand dollars, or by Imprisonment not
exceeding one year, or both. 1t also provides
lii all questions Of law arising in any case I'M
der the provisions Of this act, final anpcal
snail be taken to the Supreme Court of the
United States.
1t is alleged that the principal objection of
the President is that, the first section secures
'qual rights to both whites and blacks, Cjustly
'o,) but, In the second section, any Judge. sber-
III, or other officer executing n State law contr,
+y TO tins Is punished therefor, thus interfering
with State laws. As the objections of the
president will be given to-day, perhaps, we let

e 3ss DRUM EooTEsIAsrIe Ie ',--The decline Of real
religion among us during the last four years, has
countries. The Reverend Doctor who edits the
British Quarterly Review has called attention to
that painful faet'in the following language
During the last four years The z drum ecclesias-
tic y has sounded louder than any other. Chris
tian pastors have taken the first place among sec
sular politicians, and the passions which have
moved the civil organizations of the States, have
moved the spiritual organizations of the Ghurch in
circumstances, the ecclesiastical will be Affected
anew BY the politician. If the epreacher is to be-
come as much politician as divine, ,!and preaching
is to be transformed into sort Of Sunday news
paper-What next
What nexta asks DIR. Vaughan Of the Quarterly
Review He asks the questions with an if 2 it IS
true; but then his pToviso represents what is but
too generally painful fact Very many of our
preachers have shown themselves in the recent
conventions Of religious bodies of the country, to
be at least 6 as much politicians as divines' it,
indeed, we may not go on to affirm that they have
shown themselves to be not at all divines, but, on
the contrary politicians of a most dangerous class
And in how many casesis it not a notorious fact
that ttpreaehing has been transformed into not
