The OWL Rights Bill in North
Culelinu.

On last Saturday, long and excited
discussion took place in the House of
Representatives of North Carolina, OH n
resolution protesting against tho passage
of tho Civil Rights Bill by Congress.
It was adopted, with IN amendment,
which embodied petition to Congress
not to pass the bill, and expressing tho
belief that its immediate efrscts would
be to suppress the public schools for
both white md colored, the closing of
houses OF worship, tho ruin OF landlords
and proprietors, as we'll as the thorough
decentralization OF society and the cause
of bitter strife between the races.
Most OF the Western Republicans sup
ported tho resolution. They said that
the white Republicans of their section
would never swallow such doctrines ns
are set forth in the supplementary Civil
lights Bill.

FOREIGN DIPLOMACY IN JArAN.-The
question of opening the Empire o!
Japan generally to foreign trade is be-
ing pressed automatically on the Go
vernment of tho Mikado by the repre-
sentativcs Of tho foreign monarchies
The subject is exceedingly distasteful to
to the Japanese Cabinet and the ministe-
rial agitation Of it is likely to excite q
nativist disposition to retroact against
the commercial concessions generally.
Tne matter is quite important. The at.
titude of the United States Minister is,
as it appears, mediatory and conciliatory
between the contending partics-a pru.
dent course, which. if pursued skillfully,
may inure profitably to the trading in
terests of America.
