TIE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.
lie SUBJECT OF tllC supplementary CIVIL iiSii''
bill is now the question of the House. Its bellev-
ed that the admirable tone Of the speeches de
livcred by Southern members and especially
tie resolutions of the Legislature of Virginia,
have not been without potent effect IN reiercncc
to this measure There seems to BE- reason to
believe that many Of the Republican members.
especially from the northwest, are not satisfied
with the Till in its present shape, and there Is
good reason to say that il it passes at all, it will
ouly be after very considerable amendment.
The delegation from Virginia, with the cx
ceptop of Messrs Platt aud Stowell, are a
unit against the BILL MeSsrs. Aublcr Smith
and Sencr, Republicans, with all the ConScrva-

would take her to the next station and see that
she was returned by the down train. After
parleying awhile she got off, and was compelled
TO walk home The night was dark aud the
ground covered with snow and ice, and from
the exposure and frequ mt falls she contracted
a terrible cold, resulting in long sickness. She
claimed $4,000 damages, and the jury awarded
$500 Mr.. J. G.. Wilson appeared for tie
