WHO KILLS AMNESTY !-Charles Sum
ner, who is known as one of the most
determined o?ponant of President Grant,
has given notice in the Senate that he
will tack on his supplementary Civil
Rights bill to any measure of general
legislation His doggedness, aided by
his Cincinnati confreres, has killed the
amnesty bin, because when Summers so.
cal equality amendment was tackled on,
it was impossible to obtain two-thirds
vote in the Senate in favor Of such a
conglomerated Bill
Amnesty requires two-third vote, and
Sumner knows that by lacking on his
supplementary Civil-Rights bill he can
kill Il generous amnesty to the South.
Yet the Cincinnati sore-heads did not
dare denounce the indicative course of
Sumner to our Southern brethren, while
they berate the President because of the
failure of universal amnesty. 1t

PRESIDENT GRANT has decided upon
the removal of General Casey from the
Dictatorship Of the Port Of New Orleans.
This is not because a great fuss has been
made about his being brother n.law,
nor yet because Casey has been guilty Of
corruption, but solely because the report
OF the Congressional Committee shows
that he has taken an undue pat in State
politics His removal is evidence that
'reneral Grant is sincere in his purpose
= take the civil service out of the foul
pool OF local politics, as far as possible.
