The MOnHIrOcitles OF the Civil
Rights BilI-ES&sracts from the
Addrcas OF the .Johnson Club in
tho WashIHgton National INTEL
Dgencer,
The Civil Rights bill is a scion Of its
more formidable predecessor. 1t purports
to grant civil rights to the blacks, to place
them as citizens on perfect equality with
the whites. Its dictum is that there shall
be no discrimination between the races in
regard to civil rights, and yet the very first
step in the code takes from the State courts
their independence as judicial tribunals, and
breaks down the majority of the people
who create them. fine judges ofthe State
courts decide against any of che grants or
immunities conferred upon the freedmen
by the Civil Rights bill, the judge is to be
fined or imprisoned for it, no matter how
conscientious his decision, or whether it be
founded on his views of the Constitution,
or the laws of Congress, or the Constitution
or the laws of the State which he is sworn
to administer. There is no such penalty
affixed in case OF Judgment against a
white man, whose person or property may
be involved In the judges decision. In case
white citizen of State sues another he
is confined to seek Justice in a State court.
The negro is privileged to prosecute in the
State court, the District Court of the
United States, or the Circuit Court of the
United States. SO he may drag the white
man through all the tribunals OF the coun-
try. Is not this discrimination! But
there is another of still more practical i'm
portance. The bill requires that Commits
sioners be appointed throughout the States
to become prosecutors of suits for freedmen
litigants. This new tribe OF purSuivants of
litigation are to receive premium from
the Treasury of ten dollars for every suit
they can induce the freedmen to permit to
be brought in his name, and five dollars
additional is to be paid on the warrant when
issued. For similar services State JUS
tice receives twenty-five cents. A poor
white man nowhere in the world has such
assistance in asserting his rights or re-
dressing his wrongs. lie has to pay the
tax and fees when he appeals to the courts
for justice, and the lawyers as counsel; but
for the freedmen there is host of Commits
sioners provided, to instigate and prosecute
suits, prompted by fees in advance, which
alone would make it lucrative, pursuit, to
say nothing of what might be obtained
from the plaintiff or eXtorted from the de-
fendant. There seems to be some discrim-
ination of races, where we find the purse of
the nation opened to one race and stimu-
lating huntsmen to hunt the other as sort OF
prey. This must be meant as retaliation on
the whites (although paroled and promised
peace at their own homes) for the cruelUies
of Senator Mason's Fugitive Slave bill.
The latter, however, only reached a few in
dividuals. The hired beagle of the Civil
Rights bill will hunt the White man down
at his home, or drive him from it, and he
is commissioned to drag State judges from
their courts to trial before United States
courts, and thence to the punishments they
adiudge, for error of opinion.

political Oulet nt VvnshlngtOu.

Under date of the 18th inst. the WASH
ington correspondent of the Ne,O York
Tribune, sends forth the statement that
''there is an unusual lull in the political
world, and members of Congress are be-
coming more frequent visitors at the White
House; but it is morally certain that a
large number of those Republicans who
live in doubtful districts will have some
trouble before the Fall canvass is gone
through"
That is as much as to say that the Presi-
dent will so use his influence that no Re-
publican member will be returned to Con-
gress from doubtful District who has so
spoken and voted as to defeat him in speed
lily completing the work of restoration.
Office-holders and would-be Congressman
should be admonished in time. no

We invite the attention of Mllliners and
Merchants to the advertisement of G. w.
Simmons, found in another column. He
has just returned from the city of New
York, where he purchased and is now re-
cei>ing the largest and finest selection of
Millinery Goods of every description ever
brought to this city.
This is an establishment which has long
been needed in this city, where Retail
Dealers can purchase from one who sells
exclusively to the trade. Especially is this
true in regard to the milliners of this city
and neighboring counties, thereby avoiding
the necessity of purchasing from an estab-
lishment which has retail department con-
nected with it, and with which they must
necessarily come in competition. {.
The stock OF Mr.. Simmons is complete
and new, embracing all the novelties of the
season, together with large assortment of
Men and Boys Hats and Caps. Don't for
