Civil RIsb,. md Amnesty


One can find materials for a commentary on
the present political situation, by studying the
talk and action OF congress on the civil rights
question. There are two civil rights bills be
fore congress. one in the house, and one in the
senate, introduced by Mr.. Sumner. Their aim
is 10 make unlawful the annoyances, insults,
oppression, and abuse, to which colored people
are subjected in many parts of the country.
For instance, Frederick Douglass, John NJ
Langston, and others, could not 90 to New Or
leans 10 attend convention, and have decent
treatment on the way, from railroad managers
and hotel keepers. 1t happens constantly that
respectable and intelligent eolored people, male
and female, are excluded from hotels and other
places of entertainment turned out of the cab
ins of steamboats,, and otherwise matreated,
when travelling, with a coarsely uttered notice
that they are ''niggers." In many other ways,
colored people are misused, oppressed, and de-
prived of their civil rights.
Senator Sumner, who is always the champion
of freedom and justice, proposes to make this
villainous treatment of colored people unlaw-
full. Therefore, he seeks to provide the needed
remedy, by means of a civil rights bill, which
he urges in the senate; and a similar bill has
been introduced in the house. Something impor-
tant can be learned by giving careful attention
10 the opposition they receive. Most of the
repuoheans are reSuy 10 wore ior them' vi

When we hear of the corrupt Judges of New
York, the names of Barnard and Cardozo at
once suggest themselves as the most conspicu-
Gus examples of judicial misbehavior. But
there is another judge who deserves more noto-
Tiety than he has yet attained. Judge Curtis is
one OF the justices of the marine court, a tribu-
nal whose name may give the imperlcctly in
formed reader the impression that its judges,
officers or suitors are of maritime way of
life. This would be incorrect; the only known
fitness in the name is that it is generally under
stood that the assertion that justice is habtually
dispensed in this court might properly be adj
dressed to the marines What is actually done
there few persons know, but the court is in
theory of an intermediate rank between the
police and superior courts, although
its Judges receive salaries considerably
greater than those paid to the justices of the
United States supreme court. The bar assoca-
ton, having dealt with Barnard and Cardozo,
have been looking after Judge Curtis, and from
their report it appears TO be quite time he was
looked after. According to the testimony they
have collected, it has been his habit to speak in
open court in an insulting and abusive manner
" MlihtsSeS anu pdIllts, saying sometimes, Tor
instance, to counsel, before even preliminary
statement of the case: 81 will find against your
client if | possibly can. ! know him to be a
scoundrel, blackguard, and unworthy of be-
lief" When the counsel thus warned asked TO
have the case set down before another Judge,
Curtis would refuse, saying: "Go on with
your case; | will give you an excep-
ton" When about to hear the case in
which one Nye was defendant, the Judge
said, with an expression of satisfaction, that
he (Nye) was a great rascal, a big villain, and
he would try the case and give him justice"
The infamous Judge Jeffries never was more in
decent in bis language to suitors in his court.
Besides bis intolerable misbehavor in court
Judge Curtis had another weakness He is
proved to have entered into copartnership by
written articles with certain attorneys by which
he was TO have twelve dollars out of every sixty
three dollars earned by the firm. lie afterward
referred to them several actions pending in his
court, and the reference fees were divided, the
Judge getting his share. These transactions
were actually recorded in the books of the firm.
Some of the actions were tried before Curtis
himself aud the fees divided.

HARPER q BROTHERS have issued the third
volume of Tyerman's "Life and Times of John
Wesley" which completes the work 1t has
another portrait OF Mr.. Wesley, taken when he
was s. years Old. This is altogether the best
life of Wesley that has ever been published 1t
gives more complete account of his life, than
any other, and explains more fully some things
which others have omitted or treated very i'm
perfectly. 1t was great life, not after the fash
ion of those lives which history has been most
inclined to celebrate as great, but great in its
spirit, aims, self sacrifice and usefulness. Mr..
Tyerman being Methodist, and having admi-
raole qualifications for writing such a biogra-
ply, his work will be eminenty successful.
Anere is an appendix to this volume containing
an elaborate paper by Rev. A. Stevens, on the
organization of the Methodist Episcopal Church
~ America, which was Mr. Wesley's work.

GRAPES ABOUT THE HoUsE.-It is pleasant
TO observe that the grape has, and still continues
70 ehclt much attention, nearly or quite all over
new England. ii is annually becoming more
common IN our markets, and the quality and
mayor nave been gradually improved. Some of
them may be pronounced as excellent Much
however, remains to be learned of their habits
and Of the best modes of cultyatng them as
regards location and soil Especially is it nee
essary that better practices should prevail in re-.
gard to the manner of preparing them for mar
ket. Many of those exhibited for sale keep but
| short time, owing to the bungling and imper-
| feet manner adopted in harvesting them They
are handled TOO roughly, which not only rubs
of the beautiful bloom that covers them, but
often bruises them. If packed in boxes. they
are sometimes 50 numerous that the weight Of
the top layers alone is sufficient to press the
lower ones out of shape, and perhaps to burst
some of them.

~, for instance, it would be advisable to grade
them. Let the lunches which are the most
perfect in form, color and favor be put up BY

themselves. In this way they will sell for a
much larger price than ii the best and second
quality were together.
We are inclined to think that the cultiyator
might go step farther, and find advantage in
1t. 10 order that the grape may be kept well,
and retain its sOundness and sweetness for
many weeks, the lunches should not be rudely
pucked from the vines by the hand, but be
carefully cut off with pair of sharp shears or
twg cutters, and the cut covered Immediately

the fruit from shrinking, and thus prevent the

The person who, by some care of this nature,
can offer excellent fruit in the market two or

because it is in season at all times of the year

A HUMANEMANUFACTUR Alr.John Smed-
ley, the owner of the Lea mills Matlock, En-
gland, has published letter which describes the
life of his factory. He employs about one thou
sand hands in spinning and manufacturing
merino hosiery. The business is an old one,
dating from period long before the commence
ment of this century During this time the bust
ness has continued in the Smedley family, and
there has never been any trouble whatever with
the operatives. Work begins in this mill at six
O'Clock. At eight o'clock bell rings for break
fast, which is furnished in the premises at a
moderate cost. After breakfast the manager
takes his stand at desk, gives out hymn,
reads in the Bible, or some other work
of general interest; short prayer fol-
back to their work refreshed and alert. On five
days Of the week the operatives work 10 hours.
On Saturday the mill is closed at 12l. The work
ing hours amount in week to 55t. For Christ
mas day and Good Friday, wages are paid in
full. Hospitals for the sick are provided; and
care is taken that as regards the matter CT
wages, an operative when he is taken i'll is not
cast aside, as if no bond had ever existed be-
tween him and his employers" There has new
or been strike since the SmedleyS owned the
mill. Hands are rarely tempted to leave; there
is no drunkenness; the hands are smart and
effective. Mr. Smedley wisely says in his letter:
81 believe the present disagreement between
employers and employed is the long neglect of
consideration for the workers, and the want of
sympathy and personal knowledge and inter
course with them" These are golden words,
which all employers would find it pleasant and
profitable to consider and to act upon,
