The New York Times on Civil
Rights

For the benefit of our friend Dr.
Prewitt, who, as the radical candidate
for the Legislature is now public props
erty," we clip the following from the
Neac York Times, which is certainly
good radical authority.
1--WE did not hesitate, when it was be-
fore the House last session, to express
our own disapproval of it But it stands
on the calendar of the House with the
Endorsement of the Senate, and is likely
to be called up for action one way or
another next winter. In our opinion it
is bill which seeks some ends not worth
seeking at all, and seeks other very
good ends by means entirely beyond the
legitimate powers of Congress. 1t pro-
POSES to give to the colored people equal
1" enjoyment of the accommodations, ad-
V. ntages, facilities, and privileges of inns,
public conveyances on land and water,
theaters and other places of public
amusement" We fail to find anywhere
in the Constitution any authority for
the assumption by Congress of the right
to control theaters or inns, and if it exis-
ted, we question very seriously if it would
be well to exercise it in the way pros
posed. The bill also guarantees equal~
ity in the advantages of common schools
and public institutions of learning, sup
ported in Whole or in part by general
taxation. This certainly, so far as it
Is meant to secure education to the ne
groes, pursues not only praiseworthy,
but necessary, object of legislation.
The negroes must be educated. If the
States separately will not educate them,
the Federal Government will be COMPEL
ed to find means to do So But surely no
one will pretend that among the means
authorized by the Constitution of the
United States for this purpose is the
subsection to a heavy fine of school
teachers and trustees who refuse to re =
ceive blacks with whites in State schools !
The method of getting at the proposed
object is at best clumsy and feeble,
but it Is also clearly unconstitutional, or,
We might say, extra-eonstitutional.
Does that suit you, Doctor, or is there
too much Democratic construction
about it?

The Conflict Between Right and
Law

1t has been justly said, that the Diff
Guilty in the Louisiana situation consists
in a COZ flict between what is right and
what is legal In point of law, Mr.. KEEL
logg is governor, and the President as
snmes that be is bound to sustain him
Bnt in equity and justice, Kellogg has no
title to the Office, and the sound recog~
nized public opinion of the State repudi.
ates his usuFpation of authority.
With justice and universal public Opin-
ion on one side, and the strict letter of
the law on the other, but one course ap-
pears to be open, by which a peaceable
solution of the difficulty can be obtained !:
1t IS for the President to procure the re-
signation of the Kellogg state officers.
and the McEnerY state officers, and re-,
NIT, In new election, the whole cues
ton to the people of the state. With
the state left without any kind of govern
ment, the opportunity IS then afforded
the federal authority to step in and pro-
vide for new state government, as was
done at the close of the war The people
would then have the entire matter before
them, and an honest election, secured by
federal supervision, would definitely set
tie and adjust the controversy for all time
to come.
1t cannot be denied that the insurrecS
ton rests with the President His re-
eognition Of the Kellogg government in
the first place, was an arbitrary exercise
Of power. Having made the mistake, he
assumes thatit is legally necessary for
him to persist in it. HenceforWard it is
the President who assumes the RESPONSE
bility and rules Lou 'siana through Kelr
logg Before this he merely inspired
what Republican senate committee de-
nOunced as a usurpation by sustaining it
with the military power of the federal
government; but now he makes il his
Own, by the mere fact of intervening and
sustaining it with military. This respon-
sibility he may have been unwilling to
take before. Now he is, by virtue of the
Law and his own act, compelled to as
sumo it.
1t is an important point gained in the
consideration of this matter that the
whole controversy has whitfield itself
down into this simple condition For
the question is still to be met whether
usurpation under the forms of law and
sustained afterward by military authority
Is the legitimate representative of repub.
ican government The people of the en-
tire country have the question fairly be-
fore them. Despite the evasion of cons
gress. and the haste of the executive to
assume a responsibility he was not called
upon to exercise, the Louisiana case has
had hearing
1t is now before tribunal from whose
decision there is no appeal. 1t will put
the responsibility of all the evils and
misfortunes Of his hasty and incoRsider>
ate action on the President There is
