pecially when it. is reported from W ASH
ington that the leading Republicans in con-
gress confess that they do not expect to
get the civil rights bill through the senate,
though it is possible they may talk differ
emily when Grant and the carpet baggers
push them up to the work.
But, whatever may be the later effects
OF the passage Of the bill by the house Of
representatives. its first fruits must be
rather surprising and far from encourag-
ing to the Republican leaders who have
assumed its parentage in, its present form.
In the North Carolina legislature on Mon
day two Of the most prominent Republican
members of that body publicly announced
their secession from the party with which
they have heretofore affiliated, and as
signed as the cause the support given by Re-
publicans 10 the house of representatives
to the civil rights bill, One Of these gen.
tienen introduced resolutions denunciarory
of the bill and inviting white Republicans
generally 10 North Carolina to follow theil
example. The men in congress who have
supported the civil rights bill, not as {
matter Of principle but as party measure
will doubtless discover their mistake be

NOTES HERE AND THERE

Vice President Wilson says he is
overrun with letters approving his recent
manifesto on political affairs. We do not
doubt it. That manifesto stated, In brief,
that the Republican party was going to
the devil with rapid strides, and that
something must be done, and done speed.

We are Approaching an Empire.

That Grant means q military govern
ment with. himself as dictator Is daily be-
coming more apparent. A most extraor-
binary bill was recently adopted in a Re-
publican joint-cau Of senators and rep
resentatives in Washington, which, if they
can enact into law win give to the Presi-
dent the power to suspend the habeas cor.
pus ia any state at his discretion, and en-
large the powers Of inspectors Of election,
United States attorneys. and marshals. 1t
will put check upon every effort Of states
at the south to amend their constitutions
in any essential respect from those instru-
ments at the time of their re-admission to
the Union. IF such law can be made
operative at the south,it can also be made
operative at the north, and congress can
forbid Illinois. New York, or Pennsylvania
from amending their organic laws SO as to
change any of the provisions Of those in
struments at the time of their admission
to the Union.
Then Grants recent message to congress
in regard to Arkansas shows disposition
to overthrow the present state government
in that state. The threat implied in the
last paragraph Of the message. that if con-
gress does not act on the question, MIR.
Grant will himself interfere, excites alarm,
as we'll it may. The Chicago Tribune
administration paper) don't think Grant
means to do this, but it says; 'Nisuntor-
tunate that the soording of the message ,oill
bear this interpretation. Such proceed
ing, would, Of course, be high handed, law
less, and revolutionary, but every one who
knows Grant knows that he Is capable oi
such conduct whenever the interests of the
Republican party or Of himself shall seem
to render it necessary. 1t is very evident
that Grant is preparing the way for a ca
reer of absolute tyranny toward the south
during the recess of congress. designed
probably, to effect the next presidential
election favorably to the Republican party

Grants Arkansas message, saws:

The Civil Rights Bin.

Speaking of the Civil Rights bill, the
st. Louis Globe, administration paper
says:
AS for the Republicans, they have
simply gained q loss. The bill which
they have passed is but feeble imitation
Of Summers civil rights bill, and nothing
but Summers bill would have satisfied the
people for whose benefit 1t was intended
The bill gives them no more rights than
they have really possessed since they were
emancipated. 1t is true that it provides
penalties for refusing those rights or in
tringing upon them; but the colored peo-
pie will sadly discover, if they attempt to
enforce those penalties, that their friends
in congress have placed upon their heads
q fruitless crown. The acknowledgment
that the races may be separated 10 the
schools amounts 60 q qualification of the
doctrine of equal privileges in other re.
spects, and there is not the least proba-
bility that we will witness any change, ex-
cept that which is being gradually brought
about by natural causes"
Considering the source from which it
emanates, the above extract contains some
suggestive ideas for the colored mindless.

The Escape of q Republican Corrup-
ZIONIST Connived at.

VIM. s, King, of Minnesota, is the pre-
ent Republican post master of the U. S.
house of representatives, through whose
hands large sums of money passed into the
hands Of congressman who voted tor the
Pacific Mail Subsidy, He was the Repub-
liccan candidate for congress in the Min
neapolis district in Minnesota, and has the
certificate Of election, but his seat is to be
contested by ST. Julien Cox, the Democrat
ic candidate, who claims that heis elected.
The legislature of Minnesota has demand
ed that this man, Bill King, 90 at once to
Washington and tellall be knows about
the Pacific Mail bribery and robbery, or
resign. Instead of doing either he ran for
Canada, aud, the other day, Mr.. Ordaway, the
sergeant at arms, found him, between Mon
treal and Quebec, and summoned him to
appear before the investigating committee
ct Washington. Bill King will stay where
he is till alter congress adjourns, and he
won't resign either He is nice speci-
cen of Republicanism.
But the fuss made about the efforts to
get him before the committee will not
cause the public to forget two or three
very plain facts, Last December MIR.
King was in Washington. The committee
knew as well then as now unless they ex.
pect the public to believe them more ignor.
ant of the Pacific Mail bribery than many
with half their opportuDities) that Mr.
King was deeply implicated, and thai
large sums of money were almost absolu
tely certain to be traced to his hands,
They knew also that he had sworn to a
state OF facts apparently the exact oppo-
site of these. Unless they were more in
nocent than babes in the wood they knew
that he would not want to testify. But
they calmly allowed Mr. King to come and
go as he chose, while they bent their whole
energies towards bullying Col Irwin -
Here was a man whom some of them had
repeatedly accused, apparently on very in
sufficient evidence, of desire to run away,
while he was himself protesting that he
would be promptly on hand whenever wan
ted He came openly to New York, reg
istered his name openly at the hotel be
was accustomed to use, and went about his
business, These suspicious facts led &c
great alarm, and because he chose to ask
the delay of day or two, they made q
great parade Of arresting him. Why SC
much zeal about Col. Irwin, who had come
home from Europe to appear 10 this case
and such careful neglect of Col. King. who
had every possible motive for running
away2 Why neglect to serve subpens
when they knew perfectly well that they
should want him, asd that he would be one
of their most important witnesses2 Why

An ImpOrtaut Question.

A question of considerable interest to all
stockholders in national banks is soon to be
decided in the courts of Ohio. By the disas-
trous failure of the First National Bank of
Tifin, the individual stockholders have I'M
der the law, become personally liable for
large amounts. Some of these, holding that
gross neglect of duty on the part of the
directors led to the troubles and losses Of
the bank, have concluded to begin proceed
ings against the directors, and attempt to re-
cover the loss Of the stockholders from them.
They have taken legal advice, and believe
that the evidences of neglect on the part OF the
directors are so clear as to enable the stock
holders to succeed in their attempt to hold
them pecusilrily liable for the consequences
of their neglect

aforesaid young gentlemen that the quartet
attended certain entertainment. 1t was
agreed to, aud at the appropriate time the
boys called for the young ladies. They were
shown into the parlor while the dear creatures
arrayed themselves in preparation for the
event. It was the intention Of the young
ladies to steal out at the side door and let the
boys wait in the parlor until they got tired
out and made inquiries into the matter. But
the boys had in some way got wind of the
Joke and turned the tables. The girls arrived
at the entertainment, and after being seated
heard giggle, looked around and-oh. hor-
ror there sat the boys with two other
girls.
