Creole Women.

The Creole woman is prettier than the
French woman. There is a climatic in-
fuence in America which refiues features
and gives dslicacy to the complexion.
This is especially tho case in Louisiana,
where finely formed women are often
found to be the descendants of iguoble
looking ancestors. The light olive ii n.
of the woman seems to have been paint.

and this pinkish creaminess of the skin
saves it from dullness and sallowness.
In word, there is something of that
transparency for which painters are
always seeking.
She inherits from her mother over the
sea the ph, sical characteristics of round
limbs and delicate extremities, with a
figure pomething slightcr--another
effect Of climate, also that sense of art
with which the people are born, but can
never entirely acquire. From the same
source come her coquetry aud her grace
of speech and action, but modified She
does not wear crude colors or awry
shapes; nor does she express herself
with unseomly gesture or discordant
tones. Her dress is rather sombre than
gay, and her carriage simple and conven-
tional-for they all walk alike. Smooth
ness and graceful propriety arc hers. In
a word there is an absence of angles in
her general conduct GALAXY.

To the Senators ord Representatives franz tie
State IF Ner Jrsey:
lBY "Ev. WIN. +, wALKER.1
We. the delegates regularly elected BY the
State Convention Of the State of New Jersey,
constituting an important part of the body
polite Of that State, beg respectfully TO rep
resent That our State Convention Of New
Jersey recently held, by n unanimous vote
respectfully request the members Of Congress
and Senators elect from that state t. vote at
the present session of Congress for civil
rights bill, which will give to each colored
citizen the same public rights as are enjoyed
by our white fellow citizens.
This we request not only because we are
deprived Of these rights, but because we are,
as American citizens, entitled to them. We
ask it not as a favor, but as a right which
should be guarded and protected by law.
We exceedingly regret that such class
legislation becomes necessary, which origi-
mates from the fact that the prejudices Gre
atcd and engendered by American slavery
has 80 deeply imbedded itself into the
American heart, that neither the loyalty
nor the manhood, nor the constitutional
right of the citizen can eradicate it. Moth
ing less than the strong arm of law can
secure to us the enjoyment Of these rights
which are denied to us in all the ramifca-
tons and departments of society.
We believe, and are fully persuaded, that
if these prejudiccs are laid aside when we,
rs fellow-citzens, meet at the polls, from
which We were before denied by reason Of
prejudice, so will they willingly accord TO us
these rights when guaranteed by law, as law
is the mighty lever that regulates, governs,
and controls the American people.
We also beg leave to state further that we,
as citizens of the State Of New Jersey, are
subjected TO many indign.tics, deprivations,
and insults by reason Of this branlcss and
unnatural prejudice. We re .ue1t therefore,
in behalf of our manhood, in justice to our
citizenship and the peculiar position We
occupy as an clement Of political pOrer, that
this Congress pass civil rights bill which
shall become the supreme law of the land, by
the party in power.
Our devotion TO principle is a well estab-
lished fact, and devotion TO our friends is
by-word among all the civilized nations Of
the South, even when they cease to be
friends we still adhere TO them but the great
and wonderful development which our people
have made in all the elements of greatness
for the last ten years, rs well as intellectual
culture, constrain them to act like our white
fsuow-citizens, but vote only for those who
are their real true and tried friends. Those
who will sustain US in this our extremity and
not for.ake US, and not forsake u by party
devotion nor popular prejudice, for it is an
old adage, lone good turn deserves an
other" This, perhaps, is not the old pre-

Hon. +. T. Frelinghuyscn responded as
follows:
Gentlemen Of tie Delegations have voted
for the civil rights bill last session of Con.
gress, and amended that bill, and shall vote
again for civil rights bill, but it will have

before the Judiciary Committee, so as to pre-
vent its being set aside bv the Supreme
Court, as they have already decided in the
case some of the provisions
of the fourteenth amendment civil rights bill
unconstitutional. / think, however, a bill
will be passed after careful examination of
the judiciary Committee, and / shall, as |
have heretofore, vote for it.
Hon. Walter W. Phelps also replied that
he thought such bill as referred to was Just
and right, and he should, whenever pre-
scented, give it his hearty approval and vote

SIR why does il not create insurrection and
rebellion in the East? Why not in Ohio and
IN other parts Of the country where these
rights are now accorded to us? We have a
great many, but not all, of our rights in South
Carolina, and there is no rebellion there. In
the Legislature Of South Carolina | find

ask them because we know it is proper. not
because we want to deprive any other class
OF the rights and immuntes they enjoy, but
because they are granted to us by the law of

Us when we enter public convevances or
places of public amusement? WHY is a
discrimination made against Us in the church
and III the cemeteries where we 90 to pay

Gentlemen, l say to you this discrimna-
ton must cease. We are determined to
fight this question we believe the Constl-
tuition gives this right. All of the fifteen
amendments made to the Constitution run
down III one single line ofprotecting the rights
OF the citizens of this country. One after an
other OF those amendments give these rights
to citizens; step by step these right arc secured
to them; and now we say to you that if
you will not obey the Constitution, then
the power is given by that Constitution
for the enactment of such law as will
have tendency to enforce the provisions
thereof
Mr.. Speaker, will reserve much that [.
have to say upon this question for another
time. feel grateful to the gentleman from
New York Mr.. WOODFORDl for having ac-
corded to the so much Of his time and to the
House for its indulgence.
