The PRESIDENT ON CIVIL R1unrs. :


The PRESIDENT ON CIVIL RIunrs. =
Tho President. in conversation upon
the Civil Rights Bill. expressed the
opinion that be has always looked
upon some of the measures advocated
in that connection as exceedingly nm
wise. He does not think that legis-
lation designed to regulate tho social
relations of any class of people is Judi.
cious. and generally gives Eiae to e
! state Of feeling calculated to do more
mischief than good. There were some
things which had better fnd their own
level than to undertake to force results
ont of the natural course. Every citi
zen, lie believes, is entitled to certain
rights, and be he white or black, rich
or poor, those rights shonli bc enjoyed
in un.rn nl meiled freedom. So fur he
has favored civil rights, but when it
has been brought up rs II sucla! 1nrs-
ton. III which Congressional! intcrfcr.
eucc can effect no btnofio!al resnl's, aud

fo.o Congress last session been pre-.
-cntcl for hia signature. as already
known, he would hnve vetoed it, and
that he will do with Any Other hi! nf !,
siinlinr nut"re with similar provisions
On social questions.
Iu the matter of m;zel sa.,oni; the
President remarks That 10 enforce such
measure would be of no service to
the colored man. und would destroy
he common schools OF The United
States, and deprive the p,or OF all
classes of an education. What change
there might be in public sentiment on
this subject in the future. he thought
the future had better determine. It
was quite evident to him that mixed
schools would drive away the children
OF large GLASS who need education,
and for whom the free schools we're
fret established. He only nIluded in
this matter to the past of the National
Government. AS fur as the action OF
the States were concerned, that was II
question entirely local. and for thom
to decide. If pnblic sentiment favored
mixed schools. they could hive them
but 1t was no part of Congress to force
such measure. whether or not, upon
Communities o. antagouistio views
The President thinks that there should
be appropriate provisions everywhere
for the education of tho colored race

strated that where the Numbers ar,

course recently delivered in Manches
ter on "Crystaliine and Molecular
Forces" Prof. Tyndall, after some
beautiful experiments, showing the
constructive power OF molecular forces
as following what might be called their
architectural instinots. said:
"The way in which these atoms
build themselves together, is. to mo,
perfectly astounding. You have her.

Improvement I'm kinances Since tho
Elections.

Improvement I'm FINANCES Since the
Elections.
There were ominous predictions be.
lore the late elections, that financial
ruin would certainly ensue if the De
mocrats should be successful. But the
funds have not sunk. the crash has not
come. The Wal Street Reuieo con.
eiders that the financial status of the
country abroad has improved since the
political revolution.
1.-THE legislative reaction which has
just transpired here found parallel in
England at the last election, by the
overthrow OF the Gladstone party. On
receipt of the suc,ess of the Demo
Gratis in London an improved tone in
our Government bonds took place,
which is an indication that the public
credit has not been injured, but rather
suggests the probability that it has
been benefited by the change. In the
same manner We may interpret the up.
ward movement in stocks. Many deal.
ers who have been Withholding orders
until the election was over, are now
found busily engaged in their brokers
Offices. which. by their example. has
imparted tone of confidence to
others, and given a strong impetus to
stock speculation, resulting in a gene
raj advance of the whole list OF from
! to 2 per cent. up to Saturday.
The effect upon Southern credit we
showed the other day. by showing
advance in the bonds of several OF the
States. The market is reported to be
only moderately active, but is support
ed by patient undertone, which is
apparently waiting on the action of the
legislatures about to assemble. 10
view OF the political changes that have
taken place throughout the country, it
is not improbable, as remarked by the
commercial editor Of the New York
Herald, that this class of securities will
eventually command more attention,
the several Southern States that have
been under the ban now being likely
10 recover. Iu this class South Caro-
lima cannot yet be inclnded. But
things are mending here, and better
lines will come at last.

HAMProN's SPEEoH.-The following
is synopsis of Gen. Wade Hsmpton's
speech before the Young Mems Demo
cratic Club. of New York, last Satur.
day:
II am happy to be able to give. in a
few words, tho hopes and ambitions OF
the South. I beg to say that I am
speaking only for myself, aud by my
very large aud extrnded acquaintance
throughout our land. I may assure you
that the people OF the South do not in
tend to enbarrass the Democracy Of
the State Of New York. Our hopes
and purposes were almost lost in the
gloom of despair. There was nothing
to bok for IN the future, when the
news from the Northwest awakened us
from our lethargy. The glorious news
oame flashing along. telling ns OF the
rising once again OF the Democracy,
who had nailed their colors to the
ramparts, aud had declared that the
rule of rings had come to an end. The
sound rang over the South, the people
rallied in their might, aud showed
their spirit in Louisiana, in Alabama
and in Arkansas, in spite of the bayo-
nets and Of hordes of ruff auIy deteo
tives-in spite of all this the great
mass of the people rose aud stood
stoutly together. aud when the night
of the 81 Of November came. we lay
down conscious of having doue our
dnty, be the result what 1t may. On
the morning of the 4th came the glnri-
GUS word Of the Empire State, whioh
hal risen in it's majesty to H lending
place once more in the roll of States,
and even Massachusetts hud given
Democratic vote. Tired and heart.
sore as we were, you may we'll imug,ne
the feelings of the people OF the South.
When you had thus extended the
right hand of fellowship we looked
forward with hope that in the success
of the Democratic party, we should Sc
cure the Reinstatement of civil liberty
and constitutional government.
'''I tell you, honestly, truly aud sill
cereiy, that believe it as I believe in
my God, that the people OF the South
intend not to embarrass the Democracy
of the North by the expression Of Que
rash wish. They would look to them
to restore liberty. In the language OF
the old republic, that the repnb.ic
suffers no detrlment.' We want no
violent revolutions. though could tell
u tale of woe, of insult and of down.
right wrong and despotism which
would make 10000 Republicans say
'can such things bs?' aud cry shame
upon those who have placed these
burdens upon US. see you have in

ENa11sH EMIGRATION TO TIE UNITED
STATES. 1t 10 mentioned as o remarka-
BILE fact that in 1873 the number of
emigrauts from England to the Uaited
States was more than four times
greater than that from Ireland.
Hitherto by fer the larger per centase
Of emigration was from Ireland, !,
whereby that country has been 40 re-
markahly depleted that the population
which was SITS. 124 thirty years be.
fore. had fallen to 5.zi:.3i6 in 1871,
and is not now more than 5000, 600.
Emigration on large scale from Eng
land. Wales and Scotland is o com
paratively recent movement. The
fact would seem to Indicate an i'm
provement in the comfort and con-
tentment of the Irish people. The
English increase is somewhat remarka-
BILE, as they are averse to change their
homes. OF the 3l0.612 emigrants
from the United Kingdom in 1873,
233, ,073 came to the United States.
Whatever the cause be of the move
ment, this GLASS Of population is COR
daily welcome. We should be glad to
see them coming this way.

The Legislature meets to-day. It is.
in many RESPECTS. an improvement
upon the last. There are respectable
names upon the list both of members
reelected and OF new members. There
are no important measures OF Legislation
TO be enacted that we are aware Of.
The greatest matter to be considered
10 the reduction Of expenditures; the
dimination OF the rate OF taxation; the
ssSS:H:::oS o. aul51essary Offices. aud
the enstsi!msnt Of salariss. There are
several reforms also. in, the law that
ought to be instituted. The power Of
appointment TO the Offices of Auditor
and Treasurer should no longer rest in
the hands Of the Executive. a regis.
tration law ought to be passed without
delay. A full Investigation should be
made into the legitimate public debt
and Its exact amount asosrtained.
There are . few measures needed to
bs acted upon, and it should be done
promptly We are disposed to hope
something from the improved charac-
ter OF the General Assembly. Events
outside OF the State will have their
effect upon the thoughtful members.
We trust that they may be able to
check the spirit of extravaganza and
love OF corruption which nave been
