WASHINGTON, May 22-The debate on the Civil
Rights Bill, which continued in the Senate this
afternoon and evening, principally a rehash of
the arguments and assertions that have been made
on one side the other, not only since the Senate
took the question up this time, but on former
occasions when the same subject has been
under consideration The only remarkable speech
was that of Senator Alcorn, which he made during
the afternoon He reviewed very ably some of the
strongest objections TO the BILL referred to his own
history and experience with Slavery, and supported
the measure in its, most radical form. The debate
continued into the evening without recess, the
Republicans being determined to have decisive
vote and the Democrats to have their say.
