CLEMENTS AND THE CIVIL
RIGHTS BILL.

The truo.blue Republicans Of Williams
son county. dissatisfied with the equivocsl
expressions OF Mr. Clements on tho civil
rights bill, recalled him to that county
last week and demanded of him that he
should define his position on this great
question. In response to this demand he
made speech at Marion. bu; fsilcd to

the measure lilo wired In and wired out,
leaving tho people still In doubt whether
the snake that made the track was going
south or coming back. The Republicans
opposed to the bill are swearing al him,
aud the Republicans in favor OF it are
cursing him.

The New ork Sun Of tho 9Th has the
following on tho same subject:

Rev. DR.. q. +. Seymour, OF this city, to
the Epscopato OF Illinois is by no means

Bishops at the approaching general con-
vention of tho Protestant Episcopal
church. The Bishop-elect, though a man
of learning and ability, has identilied him
