General Grant-Civll Rights, &c.

The papers abound in reports and specu

capital.
So the weight of testimony is that General
GRANT is dead against the civi-riShts bill,

Republicans mean to pass next winter. We
don't believe they will. do any such thing.
They sec too plainly that the country won't
stand it; and if they have any hope of ere
constructing" the Republican party they
won't destroy even that hope by an act OF
such supreme folly.
The fact is pretty evident that the "third
term" aud the mawkish talk about it of
WILSON and his followers have materially
aided to create breach between GRANT and
sundry bgots and hypocriteS of the RepnD-
lcan party, who found fault with GRANT
not so much for want of wisdom, ciyility,
and dccorum in his conduct, as for his failure
to CRAFTY their peculiar opinions and their
greed. The elements Of discord are very
abundant in the Republican ranks, and the
Democratic victory puts them actively in
motion. Like band Of detected thieves,
they are all bitterly accusing each other

THE OPS AGAINST WHICH GENERAL BANKS
FoUGHT AND WoS.- From the Boston Post.]
The odds we're at the last very imposing and
powerful against which General Banks sus-
tanned, siugled-handed, his gallant fight, and
tinalIy wrcsted his richly-merited triumph.
An independent candidate, who had openly
rcpudiated and dctied the Administration
when it rained its insults on the head Of
SUMNER he was the one of all others selected
for punishment by defeat which it was sup
posed had been rendered certain. TO place
it beyond conjecture the Administration had
crowded the nayy-yard with idle hirclings,
| whose useless pay cost the people FIVE thou
sand dollars day, dismissed from employ
mcnt every workman who declined to yield
bis vote for au unworthy opponent, and Or
dered into the district speakers like Dawes
and Blaine, with itineraut refuse from other
States, whose role has been to excite alter
patclv public fear and prejudice by crying
up another rebellion at the South and SOW
ing broadcast low and dirty lalsehoods re-
specting the Democratic party. For all this
trouble and cost, and after so much sOlici.
tude and active hatred, the result is the fri
umphant election of General Banks by the
people. Let the Administration take the
lesson to heart among the many other OF a
similar character which are thrust into its
face. General Banks is obnoxious to the
chiefs at Washington, and has no favors' 10
expect or fears to entertain. He will be
| likely to make effective use of bis powerful
| advantages in the new House, and prove OF
signal service. not to his district only, but to
| the whole country.

Judge HuGuEs's opinion, or, rather, sort OF
obiter dichm, in the cases which we're
brought up in his court at Norfolk last week
under the enforcement acts Of Congress, is
worthy Of concentration. Many good law
gers hold that the Federal courts have no
jurisdiction in such cases-that is, where the
offence was committed at State election
Nevertheless, it. as Judge HUGHES says, the
Supreme Court Of the United States is about
to decide the question OF jurisdiction. and
shall decide it atfirmatively, nobody will cen
sure Judge HrGHEs for exercising jursdic
ton in such eases. At any rate, we cannot
but applaud him for declining to take ju1is
diction before the point is decided.
