Butler and the Civil Rights Bill.


WASHINGTON, June 12.-Grn. Butler is
earning many forcible abjurgations At
least from the principal advocates Of the
mixed school provision of the civil rights
bill, who declare that the General has be-
trayed them.
Thomas w. Conway, formerly Of Louisi-
ana, stated to-day that Butler told Gen.
Sheridan, Pinchback's opponent for Con
gresham at Large in Louisiana, that he
should allow motion to strike ont the oh
nOxious provision, if the bill should be taken
from the table during the remaining ten
days. Mr.. Conway asked Mr.. Butler if this
was trne az Sheridan stated and the Gene
raj replied that it was.
All this has greatly changed Downing
and Others who are working with him, and
Batter is as greatly denounced as hereto
fore he has been praised. There is slight
possibility of the bill being taken up be-
fore the session closes, as the rules being
suspended at twO-thirds vote is not re-
qnirel. But if so, the school clause will be
AZ once stricken out. There are many re-
ports ahoat Of the Presidents opposition TO
the measure, and altogether the feeling is
quite bitter among its friends, and inbilant
among those who oppose it.
To-day was the first of the ten remaining
days in which the rules remain suspended,
so that a twO-thirds is not necessary to 90
to the Speakers table or take special bill
therefrom. Under the operation Of the rule,
any measure that can command a two-thirds
vote of the House is very quickly and easily
disposed of, without debate, and the trans
action of business becomes very rapid.
In the Senate, however, the usual discus
sion is in order and if any Senator chooses
to occupy the whole of the next ten days in
a continuous speech, no rule Of the Senate
could prevent him.

Some of the leading negroes here assert
that if the Civil Rights Negro Equality bill |
does not become law this session. tn, |
negro vote for the Republican party this |
fall will be much lighter than usual. At
the late special election for Trustee of the |
Water Works, it was noticed as significant !
that few negroes came to the polls.

The New York Star says that the most
skillful made counterfeit note is always a |
little smaller than the genuine. Govern
ment plates which it is impossible to steal,
are somewhat larger than the bills made
therefrOm, on account Of allowing for the |
shrinkage in the paper. In making coun-
terfelt money new nore is pasted on a
polshed steel plate, and transfer paper is |
placed over it. The work is then traced |
with fine pencil, and afrerward marked |
through on the steel plate with sharp en-
graver. The plate, thus made, il Of course |
just the size Of the note, and the bills made |
from it, when dampened, shrink, making |
them somewhat smaller than the genuine |
