The Civil Rights Bill.

We notice by our dispatches that
the Civil Rights Bill has again failed
as will be shown below.
1t is passing strange to the deluded
coiored men how those sainted puri.
lans North can fail to discov1f their
exalted and equal position, with those
north and yet insist on equal, both
social and political rights south. If
the northern white people are SO much
more superior to the colored people
why do they send their emissaries
down here to teach the colored people
modern ideas" The fact is, they do
not come to benefit the newly en-
franchised, nor the country, but to
fill their pockets off the hard cravings
of the people, and this comes propor-
tlonately out of the colored people
We are glad to notice that the intelli.
gent colored people (would we had
more) are beginning to grow wearied
of this miserable state of affairs.
What has tt colored man to expect
by keeping u political strife with
bis employ ~, and what does an
illltterate man know of politics? 1t
has only been nine years since they
were freed, is it probable that they
would know more than an intelligent
youth nine years of age? We notice
that in those sections where there has
been the least politics the people both
white and colored seem to prosper,
and better feeling prevails.
How they do lore the dear neq,,oes
as one of those creatures once re-
marked to US. The truth is they love
"them-dear-selves" more than
either the colored people or the
country.
In the name Of common sense. how
long before the country can get along
without those emissaries.
The following is the dispatch:
THE CIVIL RIGHTS sQUELCuED AGAIN.
The motion in the House to take
up the civil rights bill again failed by
a vote Of l40 to 9l-not two-ti .rds
About forty Republicans dodge the
vote. Eleven Republican roted
against the bill, namely: Butler, of
Tennessee F; Harrison, Hyde, Lowndes,
Phillips, Ray and Smith. IF Virginia:
Stanard, St. John, Thomas and
Thornberg. (
eleven Republicans lodged the
vote"
This was rather heavy for them to
carry back on their shoulders to their
They did not wish to touch it. Is
il not time the different State should
cease to enact laws on this subject?

SATURDAY, JUNE 9th, 1874.
The Gov. has just returned from

TRIP TO MoNEoE-We paid our
sister town visit on Sunday evening
last. This trip was not Of our choice
but rather forced one on account OF
the failure to procure tickets from
Monroe to Selma, Ala.
/ This trip would have been taken on
Saturday had it not been for the very
kind and gentlemanly manner in
which Mr.. Mcclure promised us he
would attend to the same al send
them back by the conductor Sunday
morning. This was not done how
ever, and we are under obligations to
Mr.. Mcclure for the very ciril answer
he gave us when asked to know
what of the tickets. 81 do no bust
ness when l come in off road same
day" This of course, was very
satisfactory, and we take this oppor.
tunity of returning our thanks to Mr..
McGuire for such manifestations Of
courtesy and sociabiity.
In using those tickets we had to
pay for the whole route from Monroe
La. to Selma, Ala, and it looks as
though we ought to have been entitled
to two seats all the way, but instead
OF this we were made to pay 50 Is
from Monroe to Delhi. where one of
our party was to get on the train.
eXta expense incurred and time
lost, for whose neglect? Certainly
not ours. This, as the conductor
remarked, "Looks hGrd," but we take
1t for granted that nothing is unreason-
able that is rule or custom, and this
is custom the conductor is expected
to conform to By the managers of the /
road.

year preceding that, 2,100 bales. Gal
weston, Texas, last week received 2, 500
bales as against 500 bales for the CORES
ponding week of last year.
In the course of conversation with a
number of southern planters now in
the city, the writer obtained views OPP
posed In general tenor to those expressed
by the gentlemen above quoted. Col.
Edward Richardson, of Mississippi, and
of the firm of Richardson & May, of New
Orleans, one of the largest cotton plan
tiers and dealers in the south, expressed
it as his opinion that the coming crop
would inevitably disappoint those who
fixed their estimate so high. He thought
3, 500, 600 of bales a fair estimate, and
argued that the dealers at the north had
no practical idea of the demoralized
and disorganized condition of labor in
the south. He was sure the reduction
of acreage had been under estimated,
and judging from his own prospe cts he
could not believe that there would be
any profit to the planter from this sea-
sons crop, as it had cost more to raise
it than it was worth. The colonel said
that while he had no trouble withAthe
freedmen, of whom he employed a8out
one Thousand on his various plantations,
he found it impossible to obtain the
productive labor from them which the
old system afforded. Very many of
them occupied much of their time rot
tering with politics, and others felt too in
to work conscientiously. This
was a serious difficulty in the way of the
planter, and would, during the picking
season, operate to decrease the crop.
Other southern gentlemen engaged ex-
clusively in planting expressed similar
views, and in general thought it doubt
full if the crop would equal the expecta-
tons of the sanguine.
