IRr TELEGRAPH TO The IRIBUNE.l
Washington Dee 19.-The Civil Rights bill of
fht Judiciary Committee was the regular order in
ile House to-day, and short speeches were made
npon 1T by Messrs. Butler, Beck, and Rainey Mr.
Butler wanted vote to-day, but Alex. III. Stephens
zspTealed for more time, saying that he wanted to
.jeba,e the bill and was not well enough 10 do so
nbw An arrangement was made for the discussion
II contnue until the second day after the recess.
The KEY note of the opposition to the measure on
III. part of the Democrats struck by Mr.. Beck,
who argued that il infrDged upon the constitutional
rights of the States, by assuming for the General
Government powers that belonged TO them He
sDoted late decision of the Supreme Court to prove
ahat United states citizenship and State citizenship
were different things, and said that the rights Of
citizenship proposed 10 be enforced by the bill were
hot guaranteed by the Constitution OF by the Four
feeuth Amendment but were matters for the States
10 regulate. He wanted the negro to have all his
rights bat the bill would njure him instead of ben
eftting him The effort 10 force black children into
white schools would break up the schools and de-
Trye the negroes of the opportunity they now had
sf getting an education. He detracted considerable
from the effects of what was an able speech by his
SnttmreIste conclusion, iii which he charged that
sbe object of the Republicans in passing the bill was
create revolution in the South, 30 as 10 pat IT

woman's Rishts.

A woman makes reply 10 the argu.
ments Of Mrs. Stanton'B advocacy OF
woman's right 10 vote, through New
York paper as follows.
Mrs. Stanton calls q womRn's sphere
narrow" Is she woman and yet
speaks so2 cannot fancy broader or
nobler sphere. Think what faculties a
woman needs TO instruct and elevate
even an infant mind. Speak, mothers,
and say whether, as years pass, and your
sons and daughters grow in age and wis
dom, you do not have need OF every fac
ulty, Of every highly cultivated power, %
make the men and women you would
wish 10 see them. Again Mrs. Stantsn
says, No one is compelled TO vote.
Many good uen never 20 to the polls. ="
This last IS but too true. There are
many men, noble and honorable in every
other respect. who care SO little for their
country as never to cast vote, who
make the corruption common in politics
an excuse for keeping aloof from them,
and thus leaving them the more wholly
in the hands Of the corrupt. But | be-
lieve that il is as much the duty OF every
one who has q vote TO cast il, as it is a
duty for every one to pay his debts. l
am surprised that an advocate OF progress
aud reform should make the failure in
duty of men an argument to show that if
we women obtained the franchise we
are not bound TO fulfill the duties due
from every voting citizen to his coun-
try. If this franchise is obtained we
educated women are every one Of us
bocnd to do our utmost to counteract
the influence which the many bad, de-
PRAYED women of our land would be
sure to attempt to exercise in politics.
If the good minded their duty we should

of the like sort engaged in the admins.

From Rome Letter to the N, Y. World.l
A remarkably interesting discovery
has been made here in Rome in these
last days. On Wednesday, when the
workmen were busy removing, brick by
brick, the high altar in the church of the
Twelve Apostles-which edifice is under.
going thorough repair-they came
upon the relics Of st. Phillip and St.
James minor, the cousins Of the Savior.
1t was kuown this basilica, which dates
from the days of Constantine, did receive
in the fourth or fifth century, from the
east, the bodies of these martyrs, and
that they were inferred within its limits,
but the precise spot was not known; in
deed, according to tradition, the relics
had been so concealed that they were
never to be discovered until the
day of Judgment. An ancient manu-
script, also found lately among
the venerable archives of the convent
attached to the basilica, did say that the
burying place of the two apostles
(claimed to be among tho special proteo-
tors Of Rome), existed beneath the steps
of the high altar. But this had only
been read by a few of the monks, so that
it was great surprise to most people
when that mornings work brought to
light great stone slab with an equilat-
eral cross in altrelief, reaching to either
side, covering in an empty chamber with
rough hewn walls. And to one side,
and exactly beneath the site Of the altar
table, anoth, chamber, plated with
Phrygian marble, containing beech
wood coffin in very decayed con-
dition, but having within it the
bones and ashes of the two apos-
ties, That same afternoon the COM
mission of sacred archaeology visited
the site, and drew up their statement be-
fore anything was disturbed. The cof-
fin was then carefully taken up and
placed in a new one prepared to receive
it, aud they then came upon a slab of
marble with round hole in it, such as
used to be placed before the tombs of
martYred saints. The aperture was
made TO pass handkerchief OF bunoh of
flowers through till they touched the
venerated remains that laid within. The
legal documents having been drawn up
and signed by all who were privileged to
be present, the outer casing was sealed
up and put in charge of the monk, who
has the ssFs Of the relic department in
the basilica.
