To show the urgent necessity of pass
ing the Civil Rights bill, and rigidly en-
forcing it by the whole power OF the
United States Government, we give the
concluding portion OF the southern cor
respondenee OF the Cincinnati C,asn,sT-
ciai;
My God, - said a Republican 70 me,
the other day, Il vii! give halF I've got
to have the negroes colonized out of the
country. Let Congress appropriate
billion of dollars and move them away 10
themselves. They viii cost us twice that
much before we get through win II.
We can never have peace IL this country,
and good feeling between the North ana
| South, until the negroes are cJiohlzed-
Nv Republican friend spoke with
warmth, for he had been well heated up
| by reading the Civil Rights bill.
| But whv blame the negroes? They did
not bring themselves TO our country
from the sunny shores of Africa; the
white man did it. They did not make
themselves slaves; the whites did it.
| They did not make themselves voters;
| the whites did it. And last, they did not
pass the Civil Rights bill it was the
work of the whites. 1t truth, these un-
/ fortunate people occupy about the same
| relation to affairs that foot ball does
to those who kick it.
1t makes my heart beat to see the in
dications of hate awakened against the
negroes on account of the passage of the
-lC,ivil Rights Bill by the Senate If the
bill should fail to become law the evil
that has been done in awakening the
slumbering i'll will between the two races
cannot be cured in two years. The eX-
asperated whites, not being'able to reach
the men who passed the law, take their
vengeance out of the miserable creatures
that the law is supposed ooh, how erro-
neously y to benefit.
| told you, the other day, how a man
with only about one-eighth negro blood
in his veins was jerked from bed in a
hotel in Murfreesboro, and compelled to
walk seven miles to the next station and
take the train for Nashville This man
) only offense was that he had a small
quantity of negro blood in his veins, and
appeared at a hotel when the people
were in high state of evaporation ovel
the Civil Rights Bill. He had got tC
bed before the fearful discovery wa:
made that he was a ''nigger."
, Another negro. a respectable, educated
man, by the way, had to walk the depo
platform all night at Humboldt, not Ions
since, because the landlord of the hote

even in the bar-room. Ordinarily thi
would not have been so, but the landlord
was in a blind rage about the Civi
Rights Bill, and sought this small wa,
of revenge.
Another negro, a traveller on tn,
Northwestern road beyond Nashville, in
quired of hotel-keeper for the sitting
: room. I'm show it to you" said tn
f proprietor, and taking the unfortunat,
. African by the coat-collar, he kicked hin
across the railroad and for half squar
beyond, telling him at every blow tina
t he was getting his civil rights.
q Southern white blood is at such feve
e heat of excitement over the Civil Right
. Bill that the least effort on the part o

i the occasion of a muss of some sort. Be
4 fore that bill passed. the feelin
D between the races was better thai
: ever before, and continually in
proving. Now it is worse than it ha
been in FIVE years. Any attempt to con
troll by law the prejudices of the South
: ern whites, only augments that prejudic
and makes the case five times worse tha,

! The negro to be sure 1t is always sc
