Senator Upton on the Civil
Rights Bill,
Omaha Herald, May u, ls74.)

Omaha Herald, May d, 1874
The following letter has been
handed us for publication, and We
are only too glad lay it before our
readers:
SENATE CHAMBER, May %.
DEAR SIR:-I was cheered by
your letter commencing my course
i'm relation to the Louisiana case and
your question of language, 'In saw
ing the Union We have lost the
States" Since then the evidence
of State loss has become most pain
fully apparent, in the passage of an
act through the Senate, by which
the United States takes con-
troll of u State taverns, public
conveyances on land and water,
theatres, and Other p~laces::of amuse-
ment, common schools and public
institutions of learning or benevO-
lence, and cemeteries, supported in
whole on in part by general taxa
ton, in order to secure every citizen
equal enjoyment, accommodation,
advantages, and facilities. This
would mix all our races i'm schools,
theatres, ETC., not by an act Of the
people who support them, but by the
Federal Government. These acts
of inequity are prohibited as to State
legislation, it is claimad, by q con-
stitutional amendment; but this
legislation Of which 1 complain does
not temp. to deal with States,
rs such, but passes over State lines,
and addresses itself to individual
citizens, and says if "my per-
son" shall violate the provisions
of this act Of Congress, such person
shall forfeit and pay $500 to the per-
son aggrieved, with full costs, and
shall be liable to Q fine Of not less
than S., 90 nor more than 81 900, and
be imprisoned not less than thirty
days nor more than one year. The
bill also dictates the manner of Sc
lecting juries in the States, and on
this account lost the vote of the Sen.
ator from Wisconsin, (Carpenter)
who could not give up this inesti-
mable right.
Apparently fearing that the States
might omit to comply with the SUI
preme dictation Of Congress, Sena-
tor Stewart, on yesterday, offered
the following amendment to the
United States Constitution:
"ARrICLE l6. II any State shall
fail to maintain Q common school
system, under which all persons be-
tween the ages Of five and eighteen
years OF age, shall receive, free of
charge. such elementary education
as Congress may prescribe, the Con-
gress shall have power to establish !

CONSEQUENCES OF cRnNE.

There are two sides to contro.
versy. The thirteen oppressed but
strictly honest editors of the Omaha
Union, sitting as a court ofimpeach-
ment, have proclaimed their views
about the rights of criminals, and
now the BEE proposes to present
the other side of the case.
We hardly deem it necessary to
refute the malignant misrepresenta-
ton with which our contemporary
seeks as usual to poison the ear of
workingmen against this journal.
They are of a piece with the
tactics pursued by the Union ever
since its inception. The BEE is
charged with and condemned fer
publishing a communication from
an ex-convict containing certain al
legged grievances and complaints.
The columns of the BEE have al
ways been,a and are now, open to any
body who may seek redress or SYM
pathy from the public. This is a sa-
cred privilege which, as an indepen-
dent journal, we would not deny a
dog, If he could write or commune
cate his thoughts.
This is a perogative which even
criminals ought to possess. Ex-con-
Wet Harry Bennett has just as much
right to be heard as the President of
a railroad, or a bank. The BEE is
charged with taking up Benefits
case and laying the troubles of this
ex-convict to the Painters Union.
This we deny.
Although the cas- involved some
important principles the BEE re-
Trained from all editorial comments.
1t simply publishes an explanation
from Melville's employers as to
their version of the Ease and left the
to judge who, if any one
was to blame. And now let us hear
the new doctrine proclaimed by TINS
peseudo organ of Omaha working
men:
The complaints of this ex-con.
Wet serve a good purpose. Ii
reaches, in strong terms ''thaf the
of the tramsgressor is hard"
and that prison bars are not the
WORT punishment meted out 10
crime. With being DISTINGUISHED

For a consistent and oOnteMpti-
BILE political demagogue commend
us to Upton. Nothing exhibits the
canting hypocrisy Of this two-faced
political bush-whaeker more clearly
than does his speech advocating the
admission of colored students into
agricultural colleges, and his letter
explaining his views on civil rights.
1t is not our purpose at this time to
discuss the merits Of that bill,
but inasmuch rs Senator Upton
wants to know what his constitu-
ents will say to his course, we
simply refer Mr.. Upton of 1874 to
10 Mr.. Upton, of 1873. What a re-
markabie reversion of sentiment
these fourteen months have pro-
duced, to be sure. Mr.. Tipton's
course, i'm this respect, Is however,
lust as consistent as was his tnfa-
NOUS course i'm connection with the
new constitution of 1872.
When Judge Mason invited
him to state his reasons for oppos-
ing the new constitution this bril-
liant Nebraska Statesman replied
that he opposed it on general prin-
ciples. Is you will cite any particu-
lar section which seems objection
able, I will try and explain it said
the Judge. No, Sir, 1 do not care
about entering into such a discus
sion /; / have not read the new con-
stitution yet.
And still Nj. Upton wants to
know what his constituents think
of his course. We are not &C
auainted with all his constituents,
but can safely state that ninety-nine
out of every hundred think that un-
less Nebraska can find a more hon.
est and consistent Senator, she had
better leave the seat now occupied
by Upton vacant for an indefinite
nariod-

EDITOR BEE:
Not being accustomed to write
letters for publication, but feeling au
interest in my Surroundings 1 have
concluded, in my humble way, to
pen a few lines for the columns of
your widely circulated and intelli-
gent journal.
Business affairs are rather duh
among us at present. The poor
homesteader and the man who owns
his hun ireds of acres, are continu-
ally applying to the county Treasur-
er to know the amount of their
taxes. Nearly every N has to be
told about the same thing over and
over again, concerning matters of
taxation. Old man Hummer, our
county Treasurer, is gifted with a
great deal of patience, and answers
the last with as much pleasantness
as the first.
There is not very much stirring
Just NV i'm the political field. 1t is
reported that Nebraska is entitled
TO an ,ther representative i'll Con-
Dress. with due Difference to other
localities and sections, / don't e
why ~ place might not have q
hand i'm furnishing q candidate for
that important Office. A number of
our people think We have q man
we'll qualified for that important
trust. 1t is generally known in the
State that Leander Gerard, Esq;
the leading lawyer of the Columbus
bar, has long been identified with
the Republican party, and has
stuck by it, through thick
and thin, under many dis.
advantages to himself in times
gone by, which transaction
be cherished by those who
desire to do good for the party as q
proof Of his sincerity. In view of
which fact, I propose, the name of
Gerard as a suitable and proper
perapn for the nomination of con-
tineent Congressman Of Nebraska
to the decision of the next
State Convention.

the modifying influences of novelty and
travel. we trust, will get him out OF his
old rut, and all its pernicious influences.
Il is undoubtedly true that God made
Horace White in his own image, but in
dependency has sadly marred that i'm
age. We trust his stall feeding upon
rue and wormwood has not so far chang
ed his nature as TO discourage an earnest
effort TO regain his lost image, ana Pu.
himself in the honorable position 'na'
his fine talents and his naturally aihia"ie
and gentle heart will fit him Tor. AS
the noI;ticaj status of the pHper heleai-
tar n, ATediII declares his intention is to
n,t Il hack into the position il SO long
and always, while under his man
agement, oecupied-that of an exponent
of the principles Of the Republican party,
and a defender of all its measures based
upon principle. while at the same
time reserving the right 10 fully crihcise
and refusing to become the organ of any
Clique. He expresses the firm belief that
the Republican party should continue to
hold the balance of power and control
the country and that any errors or faults
of the party may and should be rectifed
inside the party.
The original stock of the Tribune com
many was two hundred shares at 81 900
per share. 1t is stated that Mr.. MedIIl
paid 100000 for sixty shares or at the
rate of 5000 per share, and that he no W
holds three ffths of the entire stock.
There are stories afloat, that the Times
Liberal Democratic io-was crowding the
Tribune. This would seem to have been
natural enough, as the preference to
Democratic taste, between the two jour-
nails, would be against the 71'bUnS, and its
.nolicv and treatment of Republicans
vould ALLEVIATE them from 1t. From adj
mission freely made by him, the Times. was
the worst competitor the Tribune had to
cope with. It's not improbable, there
fore, that this relation between the two
papers may have had something to dc
with the retirement on the one side, ant
the change of policy on the other. The
change is happy one for the Republi-
can party and the country.

The Elections.

The October elections were suf1clentlY
significant to prepare the public mind for
the results of Tuesdays elections. The
tide was evidently against the Republican
party. Though modification Of the
Storm that then begun was timidly hoped
for, our fears were stronger than our
hopes, and the worst has come upon US.
Even our strongholds have faltered and
fallen, and we cast about in the wide and
almost utter desolation, for some green
and pleasant spot upon which 10 halt and
take survey of the field-Where we may
take breath and soberly consider the
causes Of defeat, and draw lessons for fu-
ture gu dance, The head waters of Salt
River, like the sage barrens of the "Amer-
ican desert" is not an inspiring region,
and hopeless dispair is more likely to
take possession of US than immediate en-
eouragement and confidence. When such
States as Massachusetts,, which has held
the even tenor of her way for more than
generation, and defied the Vaccinations
of the adversary, descends from the proud
eminence which lead Webster to call the
world to behold and admire, the heart
faints, and we feel that the Vandals have
overrun the land, and nothing but despon-
dency and dispair is left US. The old Bay
State has elected a Democratic Governor,
whether by 5000 or double that majority
matters but little. Brazen impudence,
however, has been shocked in the defeat
OF Ben Butler by Thompson. by about
1000. Besides him, there are three Dem
ocrats and two Independents. All the
Republican State ticket except Governor,
is elected
New York has given heavy majority
for Tilden, Democrat, for Governor, not
Withstanding the popularity and strength
of Dix, and the very general and hearty
approval ofhis course.
Returns from Pennsylvania are too
mesgre for conclusions. The city Of
Philadelphia is Republican by about q
600; 16 of the q members of Congress
are reported Democratic.
Illinois, according to reports, has prob
ably gone Republican by a diminished
majOrity-say from 900 to 10000, with
a light vote.
New jersey has elected Dem ocratic
Governor by about 1900, and m ade
gain Of three member of Congress. The
Legislature is Democratic.
Kansas probably gives the Sta te ticket
majority of 5000.
Latest returns from Michigan show
the result for Governor very close, with
chances in favor of Bagley, Rep. Further
than that it is difficult to say.
Alabama is Democratic by six-or eight
thousand majority.
Louisiana is Democr atic by a cons;dor-
able majority.
In South Carolina, the chances favor
the Republicans.
Wisconsin is Republican by 5000 on
Congressmen, and 30 maj. in the Legisla-
ture.
Minnesota holds its own.
Many other States are given in the dis
patches, but they are nearly all of the
same complexiOn-the Democrats have
carried this, that and the other Congress
sional district The House of Represen-
tatiVes will be largely Democratic.
1t will hardly do to close the reports
without giving Tennessee as Democratic.
