NOZZLE, ALA, June 6.-Whle /
the people of the South are much ex-
ercised about the possible passage of
the civil-rights bill, and many are de-
nouncing itquite philosophically, and
are even making arrangements, view
of it, passage, to turn it to profit, and
by which they may recover the fortunes
that were swept away by the lost
cause.
In this city an enterprise is being
set on foot OF very novel character.
The projectors purpose to go out upon
the plantations and select about one
hundred Of the blacklist, greasiest,
filthiest, longest-heeled and sinking
est negroes that can be found, take
them, Just as they are, barefoot, half
naked and dirty, buck and wcnch
alike. and start with them for the
North. Ilearn that Cairo, Cincinnati,
and Louisville are the first object
i've points. In these points, say
Cairo first, twenty will be taken.
Application will be made to the Hi
nois Central Railroad for sleepmg-car
berths. Ifthis is refused, as is antici-
pated, then civil suits will be commenc-
ed against the roads. Then turn TO
Chicago, application will be made to
the Grand Pacific, Palmer, fremont,
and Sherman houses for first class
rooms for five each of these negroes,
the bucks demanding the range Of the
bars, smOkingrO0ms, bathrooms,
barbcr-shops, dining-rooms and gen
tlemcn's parlors, the weuches the run
OF the halls, pariors, aud ladies ordi-
naries. Then McVickers, HOoleys
and the Academy of music will be
put through. Then excursions Will
/ be made on the night train-Pullman
cars-wheneve it can be ascertained
that bridal parties are going on the
cars half filed up. To Cincinnati,
another objective point, about twenty
more will be taken. The Burnet
house will be made headquarters for
the present; but as soon as their grand
new hotel is opened applications will
be made for twenty rooms for these
cuffees in that elegant house, and con-
stantly during the day the bar, par
lors and smoking-rooms will be Occu-
pied by these greasy Africans. At
night the theaters viii be visited, and
the sleaping-car dodge will be put into
operation. From Cincinnati excur-
sions will be made to Dayton, Col
umbus, rittsburg and places Of that
class.
From Louisville parties will be sent
over the northern slceping-car lines to
Indianapa lis. The Bates House, Pal
mer, and Mason will in turn be fill
ed by these flowers Of the South. In
proper persons these duSky maids
and gafI:hcclcd youths will pay their
respects to Senator Morton when he
shall return to that over-inhated city.
| do not know whether my old
friends Jils johnson, Of the Gait
House, or Tom Taylor, of the Louis,
vile, will be called upon, but | think
not, as enc of the movers in this en-.
terprise thinks Louisville viii suffer
enough anyhow by the passage of this
. infamous measure,
You will say this sort of thing
will be expensive. So it will, but
ample remuneration is looked for.
Nay, very large profits are expected
to be realized from suits against al
parties who refuse absolute and per
feet equality.
Now all of this you may think is
fiction, but ! tell you it is as certain
to be done, if the civil rights bill pass
es, and appropriate legislation fellows
us the sun shines.
Not only viii companies be organ
, lied for the points named, but larger
ones are in contemplation for Washing
ton, Philadelphia, Boston, and New
York. At Washington they propose
to take one hundred and fifty men anC
fifty women Of the most repulsiyt
character to be present and to thorough
" mingle with the crowd at every
Presidential reception, to make the ruI
Of the hotels, and to call in bodies OF
all proper occasions on the leading
radical Senators, cabinet officers, anC
: Congressman.
This enterprise will pay large diyi
| dcnds, and very much mistake if tn,
projectors don't grow rich, and tn
: cities visited don't get sick Of thi
, equality business.
