MIR. SUMMERS DISTRICT CIVIL RIGHTS

Il.
The bill introduced by MT. SIMMER in the
Senate yesterday providing that In the District
OF Columbia no person shall be excluded from
any office on account of raos or color, passed
that body with but five negative votes. lathe
House there was 10 ANNA ted discussion a. .
the proper form for the bill. and II 1nal was
sent to the Judi ciary Commfttee for re vision.
Mr.. Judd proposed to amend By inserting
arer the word /" office" the wor Is I" or ser wing
on luries"
MT. Ingersoll suggested that ne amendment
read, {" or from being selected ana serving a. q
juror"
Mr. Schenck objected to the introduction Of
tn phrase without distinction of race or
color" as keeping up distinction that ought
not to exist. We had by the civil rights bill,
and in various ways, abolished this distiac.
on. and he was opposed to its continual itera-
on and reiteration. We might IA we'll make
distinction between red. haired people aud
black-haHed people, long nosed people and
short nosed people. Defining citizens to re-
eligible to hold ONCE or serve on juries would
cover the point.
Mr.. Judd moved to amend by inserting that
in the District of Columbia no citizen being an
e'ector shall be excluded
Mr.. Farnsworth suggested that some who
are electors might not be qualified for takin {
q seat.
TIE amendment OF Mr.. Judd was adopted
The amendment striking ont the words .sby
reason OF race or color" was rejected, and,
after some further debate, the bill was referred
10 the Judiciary Committee.

THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY IN THE SOUTH

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN THE SOUTH
There now seems to be no doubt that great
majority OF the Southern people are making up
their minds to rely no longer for help on their
old political friends. The indications are I'M
misiakabIe, Of desire on the psrt of many Of
the late lighting rebels at least. whatever
the politicians in that section advise, to ally
themselves with the Republicans. Not only
have several OF their prominent generals
gwen in their adhesion, stated by us
heretofore, but meetings Of the rank and
file are held daily to favor cooperation with
Union men in the work or reconstruction.
Already there is q powerful and ow,ng
party IN that section, that has the counte.
nance and con fdence Of Congress. and the
Work goes bravely on. What the South wants
Is peace and prosperity, and many or her citi.
zens are willing to sacrifice their former prin-
Sipies 70 obtain such great boons, and Justly
claim that they are patriotic and consistent
In doing SO. One of them who was in the
Confederate army has written q letter 10 the
Columbus (Georgia) Inquirer in rep,y to the
grumolfngs of the late u. H. Hill. He says: "You
keep throwing up to us secesh that I'VE are the
most submissive Of ALL We know ws are, be-
cause we recognize the right of the North to
alter, to make and unmake their own Oousti.
tuition equally with the South; and because
we pride ourselves upon our honor aad chiy
airy, and are not gong to retain the stakes
after we have put them up to the sword and
lost So far from being ashamed of our sub.
mission, we pride ourselves upon it, as the
highest evidence we can transmit to posterisy
OF our high sense OF honor-that submitted as
more bot gentlemen can to an unconditional
surrender, Withholding nothing, not even
par OF goio LETT MD IN the camp, and claiming
nothing, not even life-for If we are not slain.
like Macmillan, it's not because our lives are
not forfeited by an uncond itional surrender.
but because the character of our adysrsaries
