Geo. w. McCrary, of Iowa, says the
Inter- Ocean, has written an open let
ter to Hon. Charles Francis Adams,
jr., in reply to the open letter of the
latter, addressed to Senator Window,
and criticising the McCrary bill. 1t
discusses the propriety of prohibiting,
by national law, both extortion and
unjust discrimination on the part of
the mter-S State Railways. u
He says tie passage OF his bill or OF
some similar measure would, if it did
nothing more, accomplish two things,
viz. l, Afford an adequate remedy tor
unjust discrimination; 2 Put an end
to the present practice Of adding from
thirty to fifty per cent. to freight
chaIges Of railways as soon as the
lakes and rivers freeze up in the win
ter. The first will be secured under
the bill, even if all that relates to the
board of commissioners and the sched-
ulcs be stricken out, and he charac-
terizes this feature Of the bill as af-
fording a plain, simple. speedy, and
an adequate remedy tor Il known and
admitted abuse
Mr.. McCrary proceeds to discuss
Mr.. Adams remedy for railway abuses
which is to appoint commission to
inquire into all complaints against
railway companies, and, where they
find them in the wrong, to advise re.
sistance; and he declares his Inability
to believe either in the efficiency o,
sufficiency of the remedy. He is viii
ling. however, that any bill that is
finally passed may provide for trial
of Mr.. Adams remedy before resort
ing to other measures, but he insists
that in case the railways continue then
abuses after being advised to stop, 8
suitable penalty should be provided
He declares his opinion that tn,
courts and jurors of the country are
as competent to deal with these cor.
porations as to pass upon question.

McCrary discusses all the objection.
of Mr.. Adams, and attempts to show
that he proposes some real tangibl,

We at length reached the hotel

and then the landlord looked at me

overspread the cOnntenance Of both.

The civil RsxIsss nilp.

An Insignificant number of
Northern Republican, newspapers
make war upon the Senate civil
rights bill Following the lead of
Parson Brownlow. they declare
that comforting upon negro children
the right to enter thepublic schools
will break up the common school
system in the South. In other
words, they assert, by implication,
that if co,ored children choose to
avail themselves of these privileges
under the civil rights bill. in the
event of its enactment, white child
rem will leave the schools. Plaus-
ible arguments are advanced to
show that separate schools for
whites and blacks accomplish the
same object as mixed schools, name
": universal education. It is urged
that the prejudice Of the South
against the association of whites
with blacks should be deferred to.
but that eventually the sentiment
will wear itself out, and mixed
schools may be established. Now,
if it we're q fact that the obiectio,,
by the whites of the South TO- mixed
schools is based on prejudice against
''associating'' with blacks, it would
have q very poor foundation in.
deed, but still a certain foundation.
But this is not the fact. Through
out the whole period OF the exist. i
ance of the late peculiar institution,
black and white children were in
timately associated They PLAYED
together. quarreled with each other;
and formed for each other lchildish
friendship and childish hates and
aversions.. What the Southern
whites object to is associating Will
blacks on terms OF equality. Sc

There looms in the near future
the ominous figure of Democracy
bent on desperate effort to regain
the control of national affairs
There is something admirable. but
alarming as well, i'll the s.pluck,"
not to say impudence, of the Dem,
ocratic pal ty, incumbered bya load
of political sins which would have
long since swept from existancc
any other party organization. The
heats of summer do not enervate
nor the frosts of winter chill it. It
rises from defeat full armed for
renewal of the battle for the lost
cause. It neither apologies for
nor Furnishes the political crimes OF
its adherents. 1t does not seek to
hide it's bad deeds, but rather en-
blazons them on it's banners, and
holds them high in front of the
column. Everywhere it opposes
the civilrights bill. In New Hamp
shire it proposes, on the very
threshold of it's advent to power, to
add to the burdens of taxation by
increasing the salaries of public
servants. In Connecticut it sends
to the United States Senate the
most radical State rights Bourbon
Democrat known to the history OF
the State. Everywhere it plants
itself firmly on its record of dis
loyalty and constructive treason,
and threatens to pull down all that
the Republican party has built up
during the last dozen years. The
Democratic party is thoroughly
reactionary and menaces every right
of the people guaranteed by the
recent amendments to the Consti-
tuition. This is the general situa
ton the Republicans of Illinois are
called to face, and it is fortunate
that they realize the gravity of the
issues involved in the contest upon
which they are about to enter
Hereafter it is not between the
Republican party and disorganized
factions that q contest is to be
waged, but between the Republican
party and the Democratic party as
it was before and during the war.
In sending Eaton to the United
States Senate the Democratic party
reasserts the doctrine of State
rights in its most odious form; il
virtually declares that the war for
the suppression of the rebellion
was wrong, and that the South was
right in resisting Federal authority.
