zion. The administration spurs VIII be
used 10 prick the sides of those VINO owe
it allegiance, and although tho opposition
will DO long and fierce, there is but little
hope that the desire, OF the administra-
ton will be defeated.
soME RIGHTS LEFT YET.
/, was decided in the Supreme Court
Yesterday in the case Of the United States
Pacific Railroad VS.. the Treasurer Of Lin
coin county, Nebraska, that the fact OF
said road being n Government agent did
not e1emp, it from State ta1stion-there
being nothing by implication in the con-
stiiution to prohibit State tax upon the
property Of an agent of the Government,
merely because it lie the property Of such
sgent. 1t seems then that the states have
some rights that the general government
and their croatures-the railroads--are
bound - respect.
THE BANRRuPT LAW.
There seems TO b, but little doub, that
the bill from the Judiciary Committee
repeating the bankrupt law-will become
a law.
Mr.. Trcmaine, the new member from
New York, yesterday tried to choke off
debate ana rush tho measure thi ough un-
der suspension Of the rules. This the
gentleman found would not do, and SO the
matter was postponed until to-day. Mr..
Tremai1o will dad it much harder TO
bend tho stuff that he has 10 handle in
Congrosf, than that which New York
jurios are composed Of, rs bis FIRST attempt
SO plA,nly proves.
NOT YET.
Yesterday morning tho opinion was
generally expressed that tho siministrs.
ton and inlgonccs OF u social nature had
sortoned the hearts of the Radical sena-
tors who oppose the confirmation of
A,torney-Gensral Williams to the Chief
Justiceship, ana that all was made lovely,
but the end after two hours discussion
yesterday, ia not yet reached Things
begin TO look equally, for IL, as though.
this case goes over the holidays and
Pinchbeck's case comes up for discussion
thore will be such developments regarding
Williams and his connection with the
Pinchbeck- Louisiana question as will
make it impossible for the now hating
hositating Radicals TO confirm him out Of
a descent regard for public opinion, which
Grant and his parasites in tho Senate
totally ignore.
THE SALARY CRAB.
The committee having this question in
charge have agreed to report a bill fixing
tho salaries Of mem bors at $500 and
actual expenses incurred in coming to and
going from Washington. This bill will be
open TO amendment and from the di.posi-
ton thus far shown by members, by their
votes and remarks outside, there will DO q
Of the unsoemly spiri. Of
" grab that has been so highly denounced
and rebakej by the people. Even should
Congress come up TO tho demands Of the
people, which much doubt, it
will hRvn been done in such
n reluctant ungrNcious manner a. to take
all the good out 81 i. SUD uM ,ne prgu-
meU;s q men like 4. II, Stephens whose
motives snd honesty are not doubied-will
no. shield the advocates or tardy repeal
cs e the grab from public condemns-
ton.
0. o. HOWARD.
Shrewl and far seeing Radicals are
dining the stupidity Of "that fossil'-
Dawes for bolstering up the Froedmens
Bureau apos!le-Howard; when the Sec
rotary Of war handed him over to Con-
gress FOR sn explanation US to where that
@ .sh-over Il half million wen. TO.
CIVIL RIGHTS.
Ben. Buffers civil rights bill-by which
be steals Summers ihunder-proyides that
no person shall be excluded from any
building, place or which is
licensed by the authorities or supported
by the public on account Of race, color or
previous condition of servitudo under
penalty Of from 81, 900 to 5000. BY this
schools, churches, theatres, cemeteries and
railway cars are included. Although a
number o! Radicals hold sach a measure
t. be unconstitutional it will-under party
cssh--become II law much to Charles Sum
uyr's delight, who will see in this another
chapter in the book Of his life TO which he
has devoted himself 70 the entire repres-
s.Ja Of every feeling Of humanity even TO
that Of God physical gifts that be might
appear On the pages Of history asa pio-
ueer pL.lauthropist The true historian
will give him high rank among selGshly
esJu.tic and impracticable theors.s-
oao whose heart never beat responsive TO
any want Of mankind save elm bodied in

IA. maine Of sumner.
