Civil Rights.


Many Southern white republicans
recoil with indignation from the
civil rights pr opposed to; bo enforced
under this obnoxions bill, particular
lyithe right t. enforce the mixing Of
black children with white ehildren
in the public schools on a footing of
equality, and under the power of the
Executive and the Judioiary, and of
tho navy OF, the United States if
necessary. Evidently in several, if
not 10 most, Of the Southern States
tho blacks arc estimating at too high
hgure,tlic advantages they are sure
to gaia under the Civil Rights bill.
They even seem to think that in an
ticipation fsthis bill they may do
as they please, and that the govern
lnent is bound to ,sustai II them. We
are gratilied therefore,, to-. perceive
that they, too, are to. be taught sub
mission to their local laws and .au-
thorities, and that government
bayoncts are no longer to be used in
support of the colored citizons of
the South, VIII ether they are orderly
or riotous, right or wrong. We
have quite enough of. the supre macy
of the federal bayonct in the local
affairs of tho South, and We are glad
that there is to be an end of. it. .,
Tho whites of the South, we are
pleased also to perceive, have some
rights which the republican party is
bound to respect for fear of tho ssoSs-
sion of the whites, which though few
in number, comparatively in =. the
South, still loayen tho whole party
and give it it's, unity and power even
in South Carolina. In a word, hav.
ing trotted their black elephant

GAS WoRKs.--The Western Gas Com

proposition to our city fathers to establish
suitable Gas Works and furnish good

That the city Board pas an ordinance
granting to said company the right to man-

gas lights to kerosene explosions with such
exclusive privileges for . term of thirty
years.
The company's charges not t, exceed
$3.50 per thousand cubic feet until GER
number Of burners are taken when the
price shall be redssed to 800 per thous-
and feet of Gas. ...
We see no reason why our city fathers
should not pass tie ordinance at on &c I'M
der the she above rrcpos hion as it costs
no tax payer penny unless he chooses to
use gas. In fast It rcduees his taxes as it

The recent great Brooklyn scandal has

from different sources upon the secular
press Tor giving publicity to every gross
violation of statutory and moral law. There
are no doubt many acts SO extremely indie
cent that they should be kept from the pub
he ear; not, however, from any danger of
their rendering lax the morals of the COM
munity, but because Of their very repul-
siveness; yet, should the secular press
cease to denounce atroc:ous acts and
withhold their censure from the per-
pe,rs..ors, crime would multiply in the
land; for it is the bitter depunciation of
villany BY the press and the Indignation
created thereby that persons disposed to
disregard the Wholesome regulations of So
ciety fear more than anything else.
