The Civil Rights Bill at the South

We did not expect the Southern people
would like the civil rights bill, even had
it been approved of by the President !;
much less did we expect they would
like it when it had to be passed over
the Presidents veto. But the comments
of the Southern press, as far as we have
seen them, show how completele the
people in the late rebellious States are
subdued, The New York News and
some other COpperhead papers counsel
resistance to the law, but as yet no such
madness comes from the Southern press.
They have had fighting enough, and
they find support under what they con
slider a new indignity in the hope that
another Congress will correct the &C
ton Of this. The following extracts
indicate the general tone OF the South
ern press -
Our only hope is in the self-destruc-
tive power of all such atrOcious wrong
as that which is embodied under the
spacious head of civil rights. An over
dose of poison is apt to produce q con-
vulsion by which the mischievous agent
is forcibly elected from the system bat
it must be candidly confessed that NIT

Walton's Montpelier Journal of the
18th says

Walton's Montpelier Journal of the
18th, says
The RUTLAND HERALD in.erprets Sen
atOr POland's letter to us as a charge
that we "have insinuated what we were
unwilling boldly to ASSERT {. that
Senator Foot would have voted against
Senator Stockton. We had asserted in
reply to Senator Poland, that in our
opinion Senator Foot would have voted
against Senator Stockton; yea, and Sen
atOr Poland also if he had not been
committed by previous action. The
Herald needed not to take the pains to
"insinuate" thing that we have boldly
asserted There is cowardice in the
word "insnuate" that we do not admire,
and are not addicted to.
Now mark the queerness of this reply.
The quotation made by Senator Poland
in his letter published by US on the 18th,
from the journal, certainly contained an
nsipuattot that Senator Foot would have
voted for unseating Senator Stockton
aud against the vote of Senator Poland,
whereas Senator Poland bears positive
testimony that Senator Foot approved
of his course. This quotation from the
Journals editorial is all we have seen of
it, and is as follows;
Now we have to add that Senator
Poland sustains Mr.. Stockton, while
Senator Foot is on a sick bed, and thus
Vermont is wholly on the side Of Mr.
culiar interest to the question in Yer
mont, and if the facts warrant the con-
ClusiOn that there is reasonable doubt
against Mr.. StOckton's right, the vote of
Senator Poland will be much regretted
and Justly condemned"
Is there not an inslnuation in the
! above paragraph that if Senator Foot
had not been on a sick bed he would
have voted differently from Senator Pc
land If not, then why the regret that
Judge Poland should place Vermont
wholly on the side of Mr. Stockton by
! his vote; and why the statement that
the incident will give peculiar interest
| to the question in Vermont if the editor
of the Journal did not intend to tn8inu-
! ate (ah the COwardly word , to the
people of Vermont that they should
make this a cause OF opposition to Judge
! Poland in the Senatorial canvass Here
! are two insinuations of the most COW.

RIOT IN MTDDLEBURY.- The Register
says that on Fast Day Officer Champion
and posse were set upon near the Court
House and severely handled by an infu-
rated mob of drunken Irishmen, while
taking a refractory prisoner to Jail who
had been arrested for breach OF the peace.
This prisoner, Robert Manney, was res
cued, but retaken on Saturday. The
principal rioters escaped. Three Of
them were from parts unknown, but had
been about the streets all day spelling
for fight" The Others it is supposed
were workmen at the North Middlebury
marble quarry. All Of them against
whom there was positive proof slipped
away before warrant could be issued
for their arrest. Mr.. Champion was very
badly bruised, and his assistants were
more or less injured. On the whole we
must confess that the mob triumphed

WHEN TO REVIVE THE DEMOCRATIC

thing in his speech at Bridgeport. Ct,

A moderate democrat came to a dis
tingushed democrat of the State of
Ohio Gov. Tod) last fall, after the war
had ended, and said:
"Now my friend, you supported Lin
coin all through the war; now the war
is over; and now suppose we start again
the old democratic party"
"Well" said the ONO democrat. Il
don't know but that would be a good
thing | like the democratic party |
was raised in it, and | stuck to it until
it deserted the country and went over to
the rebels. l don't know but it would
be a good thing to revive and purify the
old party; but would not do it Just
yet"
"Ah,7 said his friend, "when would
you do it?"
"My friend, said the Ohio democrat,
"when the Union party shall have dis
charged in full all the obligations it has
assumed during this war; when it shall
have paid all the pensions that are due
to the widows of soldiers when it shall
have paid every dollar of the national
debt incurred during the war; when it
shall have punished all the rebels; when,
it shall have accomplished all that it
has promised to do, then am willing
that the old democratic party should b.
revived. am not willing to trust the
democratic party to perform obligations
that they opposed in their contracting.

own debts myself"
