PUs BILLs - lNash;nyion My 22-Two
measures We're passed in the long session of
the Senate last night which are likely to fail
in the House-the supplemented civil rights
bill and the bill to continue the extension of
the privilege to suspend the writ of habeas
corpus to the end of the present Congress-
Although the former Was so amended as not
to provide for mixed schools or equal priv
ieees in benevolent institutions or ceme-
teries, and is thereby less Objectionable, it
nevertheless is at the bottom of all the bills on
the Speakers table in the House, where it
will be quite impossible to take it up BY the
required twn>thirds vote. Mr.. Sumner was
absent from the Senate when the bill passed
and on ascertaining the fact, became very in
dignant over its consideration in his absence
and also over the omission Of some of its social
equality features. As for the bill to continue
the suspension of habeas corpus. it is pretty
evident that there is a decided majority in
the House against it, and it is therefore likely
to fail.
EN As a matter of interest to numerous
citizens of our county, We publish the follow
