A Personal ARRAIGNMEMT.

The resolution in the Democratic plat
form which l am considering says: 1--WE
view with adherence this attempt on
the part of the Federal Government to
take control of all the schools, colleges,
churches, hotels, railroads, steamboats,
theaters and graveyards, for the purpose
of establishing negro equality and enforc-
ing it under enormous penalties of fines,
damages and imprisonment. We arraign
Senators Morton and pratt before the
people of Indiana for their votes in favor
of this atrocious measure, and we shall
ask for Judgment against them at the
hands of their constituents, whom they
have misreprssented"
l arraign the authors of this resolution
for gross ignorance of the provisions of
the Civil Rights Bill which passed the
Senate and the Constitution of the State
of Indiana The bill does not attempt
to take control of all the schools, col
leges, churches, hotels, railroads. steam
boats, theaters, and graveyards," on the
part of the Government of the United
States, but leaves that control precisely
where it is now. 1t simply makes it
penal offense to deprive the negro of his
equal enjoyment of those institutions be-
cause of his race and color The provision
of the Civil Rights Bill in regard to
schools is in these words: "That all per-
sons within the jurisdiction of the United
States shall be entitled to the full and
equal enjoyment of the accommodations,
advantages, facilities, and privileges
of common schools and public in
stitutions of learning or benevolence sup
ported in whole or in part by general
taxation"
1t will be perceived that if colored
children receive the full and equal en-
joyment of the common school system it
is a compliance with the act, and that
the act goes no farther than to secure to
colored children the equal benefit of the
schools, and the control of these schools
is left to the local authorities; but where
they are deprived of these equal benefits,
Furnishing by appropriate penalties those
officers or persons by whom they are so
| deprived.
CIVIL RIGHTS IN THE CONSTITUTION OF FINDIANA.
The first section of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution of the
! United States is in these words:
"All persons born or naturalized In the
| United States and subject to the juris-
diction thereof, are citizens of the United

CIVIL RIGHTS.

In the seventh resolution the Demo
cratic convention went upon its knees to
the prejudice against color and the
hatred of negroes. The bill which pass
ed the senate making provision for the
equal rights of negroes in the public
schools, supported by general taxation,
colleges, churches, hotels, railroads,
steamboats,, theaters and graveyards sup
ported at public expense, was made the
occasion for special attack upon Sena-
tor Pratt and myself. 1t will be remem-
bered that the same men who passed
this resolution were the apologists of
slavery and to the very last did every
thing in it's defense, except to fight
They were opposed to its abolition, re-
sisted the civil rights of the negro at
every step, and declared that to confer
upon him the right of suffrage would be
the dishonor and destruction of the Re-
| public. Beaten at every point, they
would still exclude him from the bless
ing of education the equal privileges of
| travel or a place of refreshment and rest
on his journey, or of honorable burial
when dead. They would even exclude
him from the privilege of worshipping
God in company with white people; and
this, too, by white men, some of whom
seldom enter the doors of church.
UNREAsoNABLENEss OF PREJUDICE.
There is something very remarkable in
the operation of this prejudice against

CONCLUSION.

In conclusion, am proud to say that
while the Republican party may have
erred, it has not proved false to any great
principle, nor cowardly in the presence
of any great question. Its aims are noble
and patriotic, and it does not seek a con-
tinuance in power by pandering to vice
and prejudice, but refers to its past record
Of great actions in behalf of the Union,
of liberty, education, equality and the
material growth and improvement of the
nation as an earnest of what it seeks to
accomplish in the future. And there
must be no cessation in its labors; it
must not presume to live on the gleries
and memories of the past Its first and
ever-present duty is introspection, self
examination, the correction of errors, the
introduction of reforms. 1t must look
to the execution and enforcement of the
Constitution and laws; and while assert
ing the existence of the nation and the
just powers of the National Government,
it should ever be vigilant to preserve in
all their just extent the rights and pow
ers of the Statess ever carrying before it,
as lamp to guild its steps, those great
fundamental principles which have given
to the party its power and glory-equal
rights to all-equal and exact justice to
all men.

TRY OF DAMAGED FIRE.CRAcKGRs TIE CAUSE.
Mrs. Mary Ann Harmon, aged sixty three,
who occupies the front room on the hrst
floor of No. 100 Orange street, Brooklyn,
was taken suddenly and violently Ill about
midnight on Wednesday. DR.. John g..
johnson was called iii to attend her. He
prescribed the usual remedies for severe
case Of cholera morbus, but they failed TO
produce the desired effect, and the woman
gradually grew worse, and gave unmistaka-
BILE signs of cholera.
/ DR.. Jewelt, of No. 101 Hicks street, was
called in, and recognized the case as one OF
Asiatic cholera. The two physicians treated
the woman for that disease. She continued
very low during the night, but early in The
morning began to grow trifie better. The
physicians had noticed very foul odor 10
the room when they entered it, and an ex-
animation of the adjoining apartment re-
yealed the cause. A number of boxes filled
with fire-crackcrs, which had become satu-
rated with bilac-watcr in their passage from
Ch,ns, were piled up in the back room. The
coverings of the crackers, known as
"Chinese chop" were being prepared to be
taken TO paper warehouse in New YORK.
The physicians who attended the woman
stated that the poisonous gases arising from
the decayiDg vegetable fibre in the paper
and the putrescent odors from the bilge.Wa-
ter had occasioned the disease, which was
sporadic cholera. They did not regard the
case as one to be feared, because it was not
occasioned by state Of the atmosphere
which carried the disease far and wide, but
simply one caused by foul condition of
local surroundings. Tribune.

The politics of the State of Maine are an
interesting study. The State lies back in an
eddy outside of political currents and tides,
and the politicians go round and round IN it
like blind horse in bark-miil. Its con-
yentions have sort of Rip Van Wrinkle
favor, its politicians a faded and rusty as
pect, and its platforms and resolutions deal
gently with things pre-Adamite, and express
profound convictions as to the Fall Of Jeru-
salem and the Destruction Of the Armada.

RAyAGEs OF THE GRAsSHOPPERS IN SOUTH
WESTERN MISNEsoTA.-[ Aladela Letter, July
.. to ST. Paul Press lit is pretty well I'M
derstood that the graSshoppers in this Imme'
diate vicinity will nearly, if not entirely,
ruin the entire crop for this season. In tact
and truth, nine-tenths of all grain in this
country is now entirely destroyed by these
pests, and n thousand different opinions are
given as to their migration. Many seem to
think that il Is not in the nature OF things
that they should continue for another year.
Others claim that there is prospect OF
everything in the shape of vegetation being
DESTROYED during the coming season; but
none seem to have n theory at all satisiac-
tory to the community. People who were
in good circumstances last week are now
confronted with starvation, as Wheat-rals-
ing, in almost every instance, makes up
the whole E.eans Of their supplies; and,
that being entirely destroyed, their all IS
gone. and nothing left-crcdit, confidence,
and good faith in the future, with their
heretofore heroic courage and ambition, are
all gone. BY one whirlpool of destruction
they are left on deserted and, at present,
a barren soil, with nothing but the wants OF
large and dependent families TO console
them, and yet many Of them seem to
imagine that they can endure this great loss
for another year; but Others cannot, and
ought to receive prompt attention. at this
writing, July ., at noon, the sky is really
darkened with the myriads of these pests,
now passing over the village to the North,
and, in case they leave immediately, Madelia
NAV be able to save sufficient for bread and
seed. All the counties in this State south
aud east of us have been completely raYased,
there is now DO room TO doubt; and it
seems that the State Government ought soon
TO take action in this important matter.

Iatiye to the stone contract OF Ord~ay d

A New AND Most IMPORTANT INVENTION
A correspondent of the Ficksburg Herald
gives an account of a new invention now in
practical operation in the Mountain cotton
mills, near Bolton station, on the Memphis
aud Charleston railroad, which, if it proves
TO be all that is represented, must have
more Important effect upon the production
and manufacture Of cotton than even Whit
news cotton-gin has had. 1t does away
with the ordinary process of ginning, con-
verting the cotton just as it is taken from
the field into thread of superior quality.
1t costs only $3.50, and is attached to
the ordinary card-stand. 1t is said that
specimens OF thread made by this machine
have been sent to nearly all the northern
manufacturers, and have been pronounced
stronger and more luStrous than that spun
by the ordinary method. 1t is claimed that
q thread spun by this means will sustain
fully one.third more weight than thread
of equal size made Of cotton that has passed
through the processes Of compression and
the complicated machinery OF COTTON mills.
The great Importance Of the inventiQn, how;
ever. consists in the fact that by LTD cheap
ness and simplicity it may be introduced into
common use, the natural result OF which
will be to transfer the whole work OF cotton
spinning from the manufactures to the cot
ton fields, thus effectiag great saving IN the
cost of packing aud transportation, ana IN
other eXpenses.--Mdcon Telegraph.
