From Another Standpoint


There is no mistaking the fact that the
civil rights bill would degrade the Courts,
and with this fact before it, the St. Louis
Globe says:
There is another important light 10
which this bill is worthy CT considera-
ton and condemnation. 1t is it, tenden.
cT to degrade and beiittle the judiciary
of the United States. Every United
States Court IS made a petty police tri
hunal to determine whether q school
teacher was polite to a eolored applicant
for admission. The refusal may be based
upon want of room, or a dozen other
causes, apart from race or color; but if
the child believes himself or herself to
have been excluded because of race or
colsr, he or she, through parents or
guardians, goes straighway to tie nearest
United States Judge or Commissioner
and swears out a warrant Imagine
Judge Treat or Judge Dillon interrupted
in million dollar land suit to send a
marshal in pursuit Of a school teacher
male Or female, who refused to increase
the number of his or pupils; and imagine
our District Attorney, EIr. Patrick, inter-
Tupted IN big revenue case, TO prosecute
all the pedagOgues who may offend under
this act Nor Is this all, for the law pros
vides that all cases arising under it may
be Renewable By the S1preme Court Of
the United States without regard to the
sum IN controversy; so that it would
soon have Mr.. Chief Justice Waite and
his learned associates up TO their ears
in appeals, and scratching their honora-
bic heads for precedent. It would re-
quire ten Supreme Courts, and at least
ten times the present number OF Federal
Courts, judges and officers, to make any
showing Of Justice" under this fgment

1t is thought by some that it would
be better for the county convention,
when it assemblies on the 18th Of August,
to defer nominating candidate for the
Legislature Till later day in TIE canvass,
but to transact all other bushes incum-
bent upon it; such as the selection Of
delegates to the various conventions in
which Hardeman must be represented.
The reason given for such action IS, that
it will be an advantage to the party to
nominate candidate for governor and
prOmulg gate platform before the candi-
dates for the Legislature and for cons
gress are named by the county and dis
triet conventions, because we should,
in that case, have all the material reserv.
ed from which we eeuld select the candi
date for governor, and besides this
course seems to be in accordance with
the understanding Of the conservatives
Throughout tho State, and if so will pro,
duce greater unity OF action in the
ranks.
This, however, Will be matter for the
county convention to determine when it
assemblies and we respectfully refer the
discussion fit to that body.

If the Civil Rights Bill be finally de-
feaJed by Congress or vetoed by the
President in case ofits passage, and we
believe that the Indications now are that
it will never become q law, the people
and press Of Tennessee can take a Just
pride in having borne an honorable part
in the defeat of this odious measure. The
conservative people Of the State arc Of
course opposed to the iniquity, but 10
man in the State has struck It harder
blows than Brownlow himself, ana from
the fact that he is leading and inGu-
entail man in his party, we believe that
his opposition to it has had more tells
ing effect upon the minds Of the party
in Congress as well as throughout the
country than that Ct almost any ether
single individual For this we give him
thanks, for in these corrupt times we
suppose it is proper to thank man for
doing his sworn duty. 1t is said that
the white radicals in East Tennessee
are q unit IN their opposition to the bill
and their opposition TO it in Middle Tenn
ossoe is quite general. These of,West
Tennessee have not been so outspoken in
regard to the matter, but it is believed
that they Of course are at heart opposed
to it, but are deferred by the fear of
losing the negro vote in future elections,
from giving public expression of oPin,
i'm in regard to it. The almost unani-
nous opinion Of the conservatives Of the
State that the present public school
system Of the State should be abolished,
in case the Civil Rights Bill be passed,
and other similar demonstrations against
it, have had their influence in causing
the radicals to pause and have otherwise
contributed to its final defeat While on
this subject it may be well to notice that
so far not a single prominent radical in
West Tennessee has taken stand against
the Objectionable features eff the bill.
If we are mistaken in this assertion we
hope to be corrected. We should ike
for those aegroes who are in favor of it
to call them out on this question so that
we may see where they 60 stand But
practically, a white man who viii not
publicly proclaim himself against it must
be set down as in favor Of tt

What the Negroes Demand.

Among the c0Iored men in Washing

IS John N. Langston, who is Professor
of Law In Howard University fer color
ed students. Professor LargstOr made
"a speech, near Washington, on Decera-
ton Day, from which the following ex-
tract Is taken:
We want the Civil Rights Bill PASSED
and enforced, and in the name Of our
dead soldiers we demand its passage
We demand that our wives and daugh~
ters shall ride in what vehicle they
please, when ard where they please, so
long as they pay for the privilege We
demand that our children shall be adj
mltted to the common schools Of the
country, and [ want it shown to inflated
white men shat the coIored mans blood
IS not inferior to the white mans blood.
We demand, in the name Of our dead
cOlOrod soldiers, that there be given 70 US
complete equality cyeTy1chere. Then re
1c5H exercise oar judgment where we
will 90. when we will 90, and how far
we shall go, # we are able to bear the
expense. When We pay for room at

In the name Of our brave dead we ask
for equal rights. This conceded, we will

We discover an increasing disposition
to discuss the merits Of probable caudi

means to bring the best men forward
We gather from the sentiments shat we
hear expressed that the people are alike
tired Of demagogues and old political
hacks. By this we do not mean that tile
people hereabouts are forgetlul Of the
past services Of worthy men who have
spent some ef their best days in the
public service and always for the public
good; but we do mean that a large nuns
Der of the politicians, who have figured
IN the past, may be rcekoned with that
class known as impraoticables an the
people are heartily tired Of them. The
drift of public sentiment is. that if any
man has merit for past services Lee him
rest quietly on his honors won, and the
public will not be slow to draw him to
his proper place. As to the best means
oil bringing forward the best men, it is
conceded that the masses must take an
interest in our district meetings and
