NEW YORK Press I'm CIVIL RlaHTs
AND THE SouTH. The New York press
generally condemns the course of the
majority in Congress in pushing the
OWL rights measure. The New York
Herald regrets the scene in the House,
because dilatory motions may ouly i'm
pede while they may not prevent the
passuge OF the bill. The Herald enys:
''The action of Wednesday served
no other purpose than to excite parti-
san bitterness at the cost of the public
business. It would be bold thing IN
tho dominant party to pass this civil
rights neasnre against the out spoken
will OF the people, aud il it is done the
rebuke of last year will foreahadow
eterner retribotion in the future"
The New York Times addresses itself
to both political parties in Congress.
To the Republicans. the Times says:
"We cannot perceive the necessity
or the deeirability of the passage of
the Civil Rights Bill. We do not be.
lieve thas it is possible to administer
its provisione effectively in any CON-
munity where public opinion is 81 ongly
opposed to it. aud We are convinced
that any resolute attempt to enforce it
would bring incalculable anuoyapoe
upon the class for whose benefit the
bill is intended. It is. moreover, a
bill of doubtful oouatitntionality. We
suppose that it viii not be denied that
the passage of the bill is regarded by
many Republicans as o political ne.
cessity. and that it is pressed to some
extent on that ground. It seems very
clear to Us that from the stand- point
OF party policy. the measure is u mis-
take"
The Now York Tribune. in an article
on ''intimidation." traces the whole
troubles of the South to the enforce
ment acts. which Disseminated in
favor of the negro. Intimidation of
colored voters was made crime. The
Tribute says:
"Punishments were provided for any
Infringement Of his political rights, If
it could be shown or presumed that
the offence originated in the prejudice
OF color, but il o white man was the
victim OF ench wrongs. Congress did
not help him. The crime of 'intimi.
dstion.' having been thus magnifed
by Act OF Congress, was made the pre-
taxi for throwing cot his returns of
elections where it was alleged to have
been praoticed, and canvnssers took
