The New Turmoil In tbs South.

lie white Republican members Of Con-
aress from the Southern States are Just now
passing through severe trial. The Civil
Fights bill was passed by the Senate, every
Republican present voting for it except two.
in the House the bill was prevented from
coming TO a vote, 50 as to leave the white
Republican members from the South q
chance Tor re election. But the issue has
been made in all the Southern States, and
all candidates for Congress have to declare
whether they will vote for that bill or not.
The white Republicans are as much opt os-
cd 70 il as are the Opposition. 1t is known
that Parson Brownlow has denounced the
bill a. the sum Of all Yillainies, aud, as the
negroes are in minority in Tennessee,
that State will have unanimous delesa-
ton opposed to the BILL When Mr.. Horace
Maynard returned to his district he was
forced to discuss this issue, and he declar-
Cd that the Republican part would pass
the bill, and were under obligations to do
20. lie, however, explained the bill as
something very different. from what its
friends and its enemies think it to be. lie
denies that it requires mixed schools, and
insists that the bill merely allows such
schools to exist if the States so provides
A this is one Of the great points in the
bill upon which the negroes are most
strenuous, 1t would seem that, according to
Mr.. Maynard, they are to be swIndled even
II the bill passes. In further explanation
OF the bill, and to show that it is really
harmless, he declares that at most it only
secured to the negroes "civil rights and
public rights, not social or Private rights
and, under this Interpretation of the bill,
he said:
That !. vas but right and Justice, when
n certain class of citizens were required by
"a" y pay taxes for school purposes, they
should receive equal benefits; that ne had
children OF both sexes, but that he had
never been uneasy about their marrying;
shat ne expected ms sons 10 marry resrec-
table ladies, and his daughters not to marry
''hig bucks" of any kind, bat that thew
"ohd marry young gentlemen; that the
white race could trace back their ancestry
sor tho last thousand years, and show thar
they were descended from noble race, and
had ENJOYED all the privileges of Christianity
and Civilization; while on the other hand
The colored race were either slaves or
saya.es.
