MR.. LoFLAND AND THE CIVIL RIGHTS


The abored efforts of the Democratic news
papers to sssail Mr.. Lofand, because of his
course ON the supplementary Civil Rights bill,are
without good reason, and ought to fail of any af-
feet, as doubtless they will do. Mr.. Loiand was
placed, with regard to this bill, in position of
great decacy. He desired to do justice to the
colored people. He does not belong to a polit-
cal organization whose stock in trade is the
abuse and injury Of them, and whose claim to
public consideration is that it has steadily OPP
posed their liberation and Acknowledgement.
On the contrary, it is the just boast OF his party
that it has sought to secure them equal rights
and equal justice, carrying out the principle by
which alone any citizen can be free, and by
which alone Democratic government can be
preserved.
Desiring, therefore, to support any bill caleu
lated to secure to any class of citizens the rights
to which they we're justly entitled Mr. Lohand
Was obliged, nevertheless, to hesitate and ulti-
mately to disapprove the bill proposed. lie saw
that it was an impractical and worthless measure,
one which could not give the colored people
what it pretended it would do, and which, il it
did, would work great injury to them in partieu-
lars far more important He therefore gave no
vote for the bill at any stage of its considers
ton, and when in came to the test question.
whether it should be taken up and passed, he
voted No
There is nothing occult OF mysterious about
this matter. 1t was simply one of those affairs
in which the representative of the people may
we'll proceed with caution aiming TO act justly
and honorably, and withholding his support III
tmately, from measures that his mature iudg
ment condemns. This is precisely what Mr.
Lofiand did. He voted against the supplement
tary Civil Rights bill, and it failed to pass. Ii
its present shape, containing provisions which
could not be maintained, and which an over
whelming majority of the people would refus'
to support, it cannot be passed at all. Mr.. LOT
land, should it again come up, at the next ses
sion, would vote against it again, under his con
yictions Of duty. If Mr. Williams, his opponent
were the sitting member, lie could not do more
There appears, therefore, not one sbred OF rea
son to assail Mr.. Loiland Oh this question. II
has acted with courage, taking the risk of bein
misunderstood by the colored voters, and acte
az his convictions of duty required. When hi
Democratic assailants display the record of hi
votes, they really do him substantial service
and if they should act justly and honorably the
would be forced to admit that his course in til
matter was one which they cannot fairly crit

The conviction in the Philadelphia courts of
the proprietors of the Reading Eagle for a pub
lished letter concerning the Ross case, appears
be gross hardship, and the extreme swiftness
and severity with which the prosecution has
been pushed are scandalous. Other newspapers
had directly and indirectly charged what the
letter in the Eagle did, but they have
not been prosecuted. There is not
the slightest evidence of any malice on
the part of that paper, and it WAS ready to make
the fullest reparation-and did do 1t. Sentence
will probably be imposed tomorrow, and it is
limited that it will be severe if so, new ustra-
ton of the outrage perpetrated upon the press

insisted upon putting an odious and unjust libel

Ahe DehOCFAIIC hkecOru III cong fehs,
From the speech OF Hon. Lyman Tremain, at Al
hany, n. "
Perhaps you are inclined to ask me be fore
closing my account to present to you the record
made by the minority during the session. All,
gentleman, there il wonderful paucity of ma
terials from which to construct that record At
the commencement of the session they voted
for Hon. Fernando Wood, their caucus candi-
date, for Speaker. There were some
thoughtless people who, remembering the pub
lie utterances of Mayor Wood during the war,
and the assurances of the Democratic Party that
they had entered upon new departure during
the Greeley campaign, expressed surprise at his
selection, instead of the selection OF a known
war Democrat. But it was a very natural event.
Fifty-two members of the House were either
Ex-Confederate Army officers or gentlemen
whose course during the war was such that they
were obliged to take the modified oath pre-
scribed for rebels before they could occupy
their seats as members of the Congress- Ii
would be work Of supererogation to ask whether
they were Democrats Fifty-two votes consti-
tiyes, and surely the majority could not be ex-
pected to.choose war Democrat for Speaker, or
any other Democrat whose selection could re-
fleet any implied censure upon themselves OF
their action during the war. And these men con-
stitute a fair sample of the material composing
the present Democratic Party in Congress.
On the floor of the House the Democrats
seemed TO be like sheep without shepherd. To
be sure, there was my witty friend Cox, ever
ready to make fun, and to play the role OF the
flying artillery of the Democratic Party There
was my able friend Beck, always ready to do the
heavy grumbling for the party There, too were

Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all human
ailments. Its symptoms are almost infinite in their
variety, and the forlon AMI Respondent victims of
the disease often fancy themselves the prey in turn

close sympathy which exists between tile stomach
and the brain, and in part also to the fact that any

of the State have been destroyed
for two years and the restitution
is appalling. It's a little singular
that the story should first reach
the people of Minnesota's sister
States by the way of Washington,
and through dispatches asking
from the government assistance
which it has neither the right nor
the power to grant. AS Congress
has adjourned, however, there
could hardly be any motive for
inventing such story or for even
exaggerating its details. The mat
ter ought to be looked to immc ill
ately and relief, if needed, furnish
ed at once. There may be some
excuse, when the famine is in India
or Persia, for cornning sympathy
to expression Of regret; but when
it is here e.. our doors we ought to
do something more than merely
pity the sufferers.

Presidents Peace Policy.

The Boston Post says of the re-
cent news from the frontier:
Now that the season is fully
established and forage for the In
dian ponies is abundant the usual
war, occurring annually under the
presidents peace policy" shows
signs of breaking out. From the
frontier stations of Kansas and
Colorado there come reports of sup
ply trains captured and robbed, of
transfers tied to their wagon
wheels and tortured, of settlers
scalped in sight of their burning
dwellings, and of women and child
rem carried of to a captivity worse
than death. The Peace commits
sion, or what there is left of it, has
met to consider the situation; and
by one of those metamorphoses so
frequent under the presidents
policy" Immediately determine to
put aside the idea of peace for this
occasion and trust to the military
arm. Whether the troops with
the settlers who are now arriving
for defense and retaliation, put an
end to this disturbance of-hand,
or another Indian war grows out
of the uprising, the comment
which it furnishes upon the "policy'
and the usefulness of the Peace
Commission is equally severe. The
Encouragement, corruption, vacil-
lation and nonsense in which the
whole Indian question is involved
under this administration can have
no other issue. Honest men have
resigned from the commission in
disgust; the ring is powerful as
ever; and in the place of peace
md civilization, we have constant
oGtrages and reprisals, frauds and
periodical panics and Indian wars.

TO the Black Hills, and our st. Paul
correspondent of yesterday morn
ing, quoting from tho treaty made
with the Sioux by Gen. Sherman
and others, in 1868, seems to de-
monstrate that such an expedition
would be direct violation of the
plain provisions of That treaty.
But, aside from the rights and
wrongs of the case, there are good
reasons to fear the most disastrous
results 60 the EXPEDITION itself. AL
though it is armed and equipped
an the best possible manner, it is
too small to resist the power of the
entire Sioux nation. It's eff
fective force we have seen stated
at considerable less than 1000 men.
Yesterday it was put at ten compa-
MES of the Seventh Cavalry. They
are seldom full, and, if they were,
the force is still too weak to pene-
trate into the Businesses Of the
Sioux. Five thousand of these
savages are already reported to be
massed, and probably nearly, If not
quite, double the number of war
riors will attack the EXPEDITION with
all the arts and savagery known to
their mode of warfare. The posi-
bic destruction of the EXPEDITION
itself is sufficiently horrible to con-
template, but it would be the least
of the calamities to fall on the
frontier settlements. An indis-
criminate massacre Of men, women
and children for hundreds Of miles
along the border would add a
bloody chapter to our Indian his
tory. Hence the War Department
assumes grave responsibility in
ordering this EXPEDITION to the
Black Hills. 1t may be successful,
but there is certainly room for
great anxiety in regard to it.

The Philadelphia Press, Repub-
lican journal says: ave hold that
the present crisis in business, the
the lack of confidence and the con-
traction of trade are due entirely
to the Government. This
unemployed labor will, ere long
make itself heard. We anticipate
no violent outbreaks, but men who
see their families wasting and suf-
fering for the common necessaries
of life will not be slow to ascertain
the cause Of this misery, and
promptly apply the remedy they
can secure. Every unem-
ployed man in the land under
stands this feature of the financial
problem. What effect, then, viii

The New York Erening Post,
speaking of the third term talk,
says:
Looking at the matter from a
party point of view, the first ap-
pcarance Of a third term PROPOSE
ton is preposterous. But when
one passes in review the present
condition organization and manage
ment, the matter becomes some
what serious, though the ridiculous
features of any combination of the
Southern Democrats with some of
the Presidents present personal
adherants become very prominent.
Without considering further, how
ever, the details of possible combi-
nation to re-elect q President for a
third time, we regard any such
combination as sure to be futile. A
third term for President of the
United States is forbidden fruit,
and woe to him who tries to pluck
It."
