WHAT IT MEANs.-The real object Of the
Civil Rights Bill, says the Mountain Demo.
cyot, which the Radicals have passed over
the Presidents veto, is thus given by Mr..
Bingham, Radical member of Congress from
Ohio. 1t means to "strike down by Con-
gressional enactment every State Constitu'
tion in the land and every State statute that
or color" 1t means to place the negro, by
Congressional enactment, upon an equality
with the white man. This is what it means,
fellow citizens, we have the authority of Mr.,
Bingham for stating, and the Radical press
of California call upon you to approve the
infamous Bill! Read and ponder upon what
Bingham says:
What was proposed by The first division
of the first section Of the bill was simply to
strike down by Congressional enactment
every State Constitution in the land and
every State statute that makes discrimina
ton on account Of race or color. There
was scarcely State Of the Union that did
not by lis constitution or law, make some
discrimination on account Of race and color
between citizens of the United States in re-
gard to civil rights; and this bill would sub
ject the Governor of Ohio to fine and inn
prisonment if be did not disobey the consli'
tuition of that State which declared that no
one should be elected to Office land there.

The Danger Ahead.
The Washington correspondent Of th'
Cincinnati Commercial writes:

The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial writes:
1.-The country may as we'll understand
now as be compelled to learn it when too
late, that the impeachment Of the President
must be fought out, not in the distant South
and along The Mississippi River, but in every
city and village of the North, commencing
10 the city Of Washington"
There is truth in the above. If we had
Constitutional House of Representatives to
mpeach, and Constitutional Senate to try
the President, it would be different. That
officer could not and would not interpose
anything to prevent it. But now it is folly
to suppose that Congressional Rump en-
bracing only portion of the States, which
by pure physical force excludes the others
from participation in its deliberations would
be allowed to proceed further in its career of
usurpation, by exercising the executive
powers also.
A full Senate to try the President would
consist of seventy.two members, two from
each of the lhirty'sx States ia the Union.
To convict would require two-thirds, or
for,y>eight Senators. There are but fifty
members Of the Rump, all told, of whom
not over thirty-two could be induced to sus>
tain an impeachment. Neither the Presi'
dent nor the country would allow its Execu,
tive to be removed from office by less than
two,tbirds of the Senate of the United
States An attempt to do so would be an
act of revolution in the Government, full Of
personal peri to all engaged in it. The
President is the representative Of all the
States, and will not be removed by any trib'
unal less broad and extensive than that.

WAR Is EuRorE.-Private dispatches have
been received OF declaration Of war between
Austria and Prussia. The announcement
has created a money panic in London, and
we should judge similar state Of things ex-
ist now in New York, as the premium on
gold has suddenly gone up from 1928 to l4o
the latest quotations being 1871. Previ'
ous sdvces have been conflicting as to
whether actual bostilites would take place
between these two powers, but the general
warlike preparations throughout central Eu
rope, as we'll as Italy, pointed to serious
troubles, and now that bostlities have been
declared, war upon an imposing scale may
be locked for. France assumes to be neu
tral, but if she remain a quiet spectator
amid the crash Of arms. it will be some
thing new and unusual in her history.
The trouble between Austria and Prussia
has grown out Of the interminabls Schleswig-
Holsein question. Our readers will recol'
lect, that something less than two years ago,
Austria and Prussia made common cause in
a grand land grabbing expedition against
the kingdom Of Denmark, and wrested the
Ducbies of SchIeswig and Holseiu from
her control, The present fight is over the
division Of the spoiIs then obtained. The
ostensible object for which the territory was
seized, WAS to reinstate Some pretending
duke to bis hereditary principality. But
having secured the dutches, neither Austria
or Prussia have troubled the,usev about
the duke; and it was supposed they woald
divide the territory between themselves. 1t
seems Prussia has never consented to such
an arrangement, and has evinced a disposi
tion to hold the country for her own use and
benefit thence the row. How many other
complications may grow up out OF the com
ing war; is hard to foresee; bat accounts say
Prussia is to have the assistance Of Italy; and
as The latter bias covetous eve upon The
Austrian Italian province Of Veneta, it is a
fair presumption that pretty plan has been
formed to pluck Francis Joseph Of some of
his farest possessions.
II the public will but have patience, in a
little while they will have their fill of the
accounts OF wars dongs-the dire result of
the ambitions and cross-purposes of Euro.

CHILE "A correspondent writing from
Valparaiso says:
After the bombardment, we felt uncertain
as to what might be the future proceedings
Of the Spanish Commander, although he at
once assured the Foreign Consuls that it was
not his intention to renew the bombardment
unless be we're provoked to do so; but as the
reas easons!given for the bombardment were any
ytbing but satisfactory, it was impossible to
say what be might consider provocstion, and
it was not till we saw the squadron steaming
out of the bay that we felt secure.
At the same time we were informed that
the Consuls and local authorities were notif'
ed that the blockade was suspended for the
present.
The ideas which the Spanish Government
entertain of the best means of making Spain
respected by her former colonies (such is the
pretext for her proceedings on the coast)
can only leave very decided and opposite
effect. All measures may be deemed fair 10
! war that tend to bring it to close, but the
| bombardment Of purely commercial and
totally undefended city, stamps Spain with
eternal disgrace. Not only was it useless
piece of barbarity; but it has aroused such
feelings as can only prolong and embitter
the contest. We have no doubt that day
of retribulion is coming, and that Spain will
have reason TO repent this crying outraee e
against humanity.
