Congressional.

The Senate rejected Pratt's amend.
nent TO the salary bill compelling mem
bers TO refund back pay received since
March 2, 1873.
The President sent message TO the
Senate Withdrawing the nomination Of
Geo. II. Williams to be Chief Justice,
and stating that the withdrawal is made
at the instance of Williams himself who
will retain .his position as Attorney
General.
IL is said that the House Committee
on Railroads have devised plan that
will give the government indirect con.
troll OF the Interstate railroad lines
The report in which this Is 10 be embo-
died Will declare the right OF the gov
eminent to supervise railroads-a right
founded on the power of Congress 10
reso'ate commerce among the several
States. IL will then propose the es,ab-
lishmcnt of bureau Of railroad statis-
tics to examine into the various inter-
State routes, and report on the charges
for transportation; and. finally, the in.
corporation, under the authority OF the
General Government, Of continental
railroad line with separate tracks for
passenger and freight traffic. The pur-
pose Of this latter scheme is evidently
to secure a through line with uniform
regulations, which shall be under the
control of the National Government, in
stead Of being made up of sections con.
trolled by different States. The plan,
though plausible, will probably meet
with fatal opposition in both branches
Of Congress.

The President and the Civil Rights
BilI.

President Gran. is said to be opposed
to the Civil Rights 2ill now pending In
Congress for the following reasons:
He is opposed TO mixed schools 90
long rs any prejudices of race ana col.
or exist, prefcrring that the contest, u
there must be one. be fought ont by tie
adults at The ballot boxes, aud youth
and education left as FREQ as possible
from disturbance. Second, the bill, re-
duced to practical propositions, means
social equality formulated into law and
enforced by legal punishments. and
against this very thing the exponents OF
the Republican party have pledged
themselves time and again. Third, the
bill is an attempt to forestall the slower
but healthier operation Of public opin-
ion upon subject that cannot be ham
died in any other way, and will be pro-
ductive Of dcploreble mischief to both
races all over the Union. Fourth IL Is
"a strong measure, entirely confined In
its practical operation 10 the Southern
States, the relations between the races
in other parts OF the Union being ami
cable aud constantly improving, and the
representatives of the East aud West IN
Congress exhibiting significant desire
10 kept out of the controversy. Fifth,
however well defined the intent Of the
law, II will be used as n terrible engine
of oppression in the South. by arraign-
ing and prosecuting under il persons at
tempting to continue those discrimina-
tions that have always been recognized
as proper. without reference 10 race or
color. Sixth, il cannot fail to greatly
weaken the republican party bv tho re-
action that will spring mp against II as
soon ms its practical working is seen, a.
one Of the many unwisc, reckless and
cowardly pieces of legislation for which
the party in Congress has become too
notorious. Seventh, il the bill was one
to be approved, instead of being secuted.
the glory and credit would go TO its
champion, Mr.. Sumner, and be car.
riod by him owny from tho republican
party to further strengthen an opposi-
ton that threatens to crystalize and con-
solidate itself before the next Presiden-
fial election
