STATEMENT ooNTRADIoTED

The Hon. Sidney Clarke stated, in the
House of Representatives, in his speech
upon the death of Senator Lane, that the
Senator regretted his vote against the Civ
il Rights Bill, whereupon, the widow of
the late Senator writes to the Hon. Thos.
N. Stillwell that the statement was with
out ga shadow of foundation. - She says
that the Senator, on all occasions, said
that time would Vindicats the correctness
of that vote. and that he regarded the
Civil Rights bill Objectionable on consti-
tutional grounds.
The statement that Senator Lane re-
GREETED this vote, after it was cast, has
before been made by what We considered
good authority. Whether he regretted ito
not We believe many of his warmest friends
would like the small consolation of think
ing he did. They do not like to reflect
that he whom they had 30 long trusted
deliberately betrayed them. They had
rather think it was a mistake of Judge
ment, and that the Senator regretted that
unwise act. sE'fI a.-. .
