Brownlow on the Civil Rights Bill.

We reproduce two paragraph!
from Brownlow's letter on the civi
rights bill, addressed to tho Pres
dent of Maryville College, by wa,
Of specimens OF the whole:
The negro now has the equal pro
lection Of the laws. III other words
he has equal political rights with
theoyhites. Besides this, in all the
Southern States he has equal facil
tiles for education at the public cx
pcnsr, though he does not pay one
tenth Of zone per cent. on the dol
lar OF the taxes which arc collected
to support the schools. No invldi
GUS distinctions are made against
him. Education in these States is
out Of the sphere tg politics. ;1he
negro is amply protected, and the
National Legislature should cease
lcgislating Oh the educational ques-
tion aud creating turmoil and bad
blood where progress and good
feeling is being secured. For sew
eral years the greater portion of the
time Of our legislators rms been oc-
cupied in legislating for the negro
race. Amendment after amend.
melit to the constitution has been
adopted, and law after law for the
further protection Of the negro has
been adopted, until heo is now the
political equal OF the whlte man.
Now that this has been achieved
the negro business ought to stop.
The country at large is becoming
disgustcd with the efforts now be.
ing made to oppress the whites in
the passage Of !. bill which is not
essential to the protection of the
blacks. .-a tIs
What the people and the States
of the South need is to be let alone
by Congress, aud given a. little op-
portunity tor recovering from the
desolation and waste of war. The
Southern people have been whipped
in battle between the sections, and
except a small class OF fossilized po-
liticians and a lot Of weak minded
young men who part their hair in
the middle they. acknowledge and
feel it. In no State is tho negro de-.
ptiIyed of. full equal protection be-
fore the law; but in several South.
crn StateA, like South Carolina, the
white man has no rights which the
negro is bound to respect.

i STORY on MoNKEY..sAGAclrf

IL
II Was Wild and drcary part Of the
country, in the piains Of India, while jour
iueying. tlct one day friend and myself
sat down nuder tl,c shade ii d banyan tree,
and we were enjoying meal Of sarions ed
ibles. when We were disturbed by the ar
rival aud noise Of troop Of largo: black
faced monkeys tho branches overhead lit-
orally swar,Icd with them. They looked
on us MS interlopers, no debut; and for
some time fhcir gestures appeared 50 me
EnacinE that we we're arprehchslyc they
would dispute the ground with us.
We had just risen from our meal, when
to our surprise one Of the mcnkeys(a young
oue) fell down from branch at our feet.
II was quite dead. The clamor that arose
above us IN the occurrence Of this calamity
was deafening. The whole assembly Of
monkeys clustered together for 4 confah.
Long and loud were the gatherings, and
various the grimaces Of the tribe. each IN
dividual yieing with the other in the loud
ness Of his tongue. Their looks and ges-
lures made it apparent that they suspected
us Of being the cause If the death Of thtir
Juvenile c0tiirade.
Bit we were unarmed, aud the good
sense Of the monkeys seemed to tell them
that there must be some otbar. culprit.
Having come to this conclusion one mon-
key, apparently the senior and leader Of
the whole tribe, separated himself from
the rest. ran to the spot on the branch
whence the young monkey bad fallen, ex-
alnined il carefully, smclt the branch. and
then glided niihbly down one Of The pillars
or pendant roots. and came TO the corpse
of the monkey, took it up, examined il
minutely !, particularly the shoulder, where
there was small wound Instinct iirine-
diately turned suspicion INTO certainty. lie
placed the corpse on the ground again. aud
turning his gaze in every direction. en-
deayored to pierce the foliage in search Of
the murderer.
After little while something seemed to
riyet his attention. In an Instant he had
mounted the tree, sprung 10 the spot, and
with ohe. clutch had sened long whip
snake, with which be hestrnea to tie
ground.
Now there occurred i most curious scene.
The whole monkey rabble, following their
leader. werelUa the ground ahpost as soon
as he; then as many as totld range Them
selves on each side Of the snake. Each
monkey put his hand on the reptile, clatch-
idg hold IL the skin Of the back tightly.
At q given signal, the executioners dragged
tie writhiug snake backward aud forward
On the ground till nothing was left Of the
murderer but the backbone. The mode
Of the execution was efectual aud in the
way il was carried out. showed tie clear
understanding which the monkey language
conveys.
