Mr.. L0FLAND AND THE CIVIL RIGHTS
BIII

The abored efforts Of the Democratic news
papers to asaail Mr.. Lofand, because of his
course on the supplementary Civil Righta bill are
without good reason, and ought to fail Of any af-
feet as doubtless they will do. Mr.. Lofiand was
placed, with regard to this bill, in position Of
great delicscy. He desired to do justice to the
colored people. He does not belong to a polit-
cal organization whose stock in trade is the
abuse and injury Of them and whose claim to
public consideration ia that it has steadily OBJ
posed their liberation and acknowledgements.
On the contrary, it is the just boast of his party
that it has sought to secure them equal rights
and equal Justice, carrying out the principle by
which alone any citizen can be free, and by
which alone Democratic government can be
preserved
Desiring, therefore, to support any bill csleu-
lated to secure to any class of citizens the rights
to which they we're justly entitled, Mr.. Lofland
was obliged nevertheless, to hesitate, and ulti-
mately to disapprove the bill proposed He saw
that it was an impractical and worthless measure,
one which could not give the colored people
what it pretended it would do, and which, il it
did, would work great injury to them in particn-
lars far more important. He therefore gave no
vote for the bill at any stage of its considers
tion, and when in came to the test question
whether it should be taken up and assed he
voted No
There is nothing occult or mysterious about
this matter. 1t was simply one of those affairs
In which the representative of the people may
well proceed with caution, aiming to act Justly
and honoraby, and Withholding his support nj
timately, from measures that his mature iudg-
ment condemns. This il precisely what Mr..
Loiiand did. He voted against the supplement
tary Civil Rights BILL and it failed to pass. In
It's present shape, containing provisions which
could not be maintained, and which an over
whelming majority of the people would refuse
to support, it cannot be passed at all. Mr.. Lof-
land should it again come up, at the next SEES
sion, would vote against it again, under his con-
viclions of duty. If Mr.. Williams, his opponent.
were the sitting member, he could not do more,
There appears, therefore, not one shred of rea-
sou to assal Mr.. Loiland on this question. He
has acted with courage, taking the risk of being
misunderstood by the colored voters, and acted
az his convictions Of duty required When his
Democratic assailants display the record of his
votes, they really do him substantial service.
and if they should act justly and honorably they
would be forced to admit that his course in the
matter was one which they cannot fairly crit-

The election just passed in those States is
rather more favorable TO the Republicans than
that OF 1862. In Ohio, the Republicans then
elected only Ave Congressman, while they now
elect seven, and the Democrats chose fourteen.
while they now get but tlirteen in Indiana, also
the Republicans then had but four and now have
five, while the Democrats make the same in
crease, (the apportionment being enlarged two
members,) and now elect eight instead of the
seven of 1869.
The rapid recovery of the Republicans, be-
tween 1862 and 1864, was one Of the extraordinary
changes which Ohio and Indiana will no doubt
repeat in the two years between this and 1876.
The numerous disturbing influences Of this CAM
paign-the Crusade, the Grange movement, the
Currency QUESTIONABLE all have disappeared,
and it will not be surprising to see the lelega-
cations sent to Congress precisely reversed in
