keeper, a tremendous stage driver or 3
magnificent theatrical manager, crawl
ed It's way through despairing congress
whose dominant party was gssping for
breath, but it cannot creep through an
independent judiciary. A dying party
may say that the United States govern
ment should conduct all private busi-
ness, but the courts will demur. Judge
EmmOns has the high honor to be the
first representative of the judiciary OF
the United States to declare that con-
gress, in passiag the civil rights bill
Overstepped its demesnes. He says,
in effect, that congress had no power
to pass the bill. There are
other United States judges whe will rem
der the same opinion, as we are compe.
tently assured. The supreme court Of
the United States will not reverse these
decisions, for it is already committed to
the position taken by Judge Emmons.
That the opiriOn Of
Judge Emmons is, substantially, the
opinion of the supreme court OF the
United States, is evident from the de-
cision OF that court in the Slaughter
house cases (16 Wallace) alluded to by
Judge EmmOns, and quoted in the En-
gllireT of a recent date. The civil rights
bill could pass congress, but it cannot
pass the courts Of the United States.

Mrs. Felicia shorter

Departed this life, at her residence in Shell
by county, Tennessee, March Is, elS75, Mrs.
FELICIA SHORTER, daughter of Moses and
Mrs. Jane p. Neely, In the fortieth year OF
her age.
This excellent lady who has been removed
from us by death, sustained, during her bIief
life, the relations of daughter, sister, wife and
mother, and 1t would be difficult to speak too
his shly OF her Department. in all these relations
AS a daughter, she never lost sight OF her
father and mother, and of her fillal duty to
them. As sister, it seemed that she, by her
own goodness of heart, had drawn to her own
the hearts of all the rest. As a wife, though
that relation, in the providence of God, was
permitted to continue only few years, was
in perfect keeping with the relations Just
mentioned Her husband, Robert Shorter,
died in Arkansas sometime before the war,
leaving his young wife a widow, and to her
sole care and guardianship an only daughter.
She. meekly but trustingly accepted the
charge, and as a mother she performed her
duty faithfully and tenderly, SO that when
the mother was taken away 1t was like the
severing of the sweetest cor~s this world can
ever have.
Mrs Shorter sustained another relation that
gave a peculiar charm to her life, in all the
other relations, and which 1t would not be
just to her memory TO omit. She was a faith
ful, earnest, and lovely Christian. The present
pastor of the Presbyterian Church in German
town had the pleasure OF receiving her into
that church in 1853, aud from that time until
her gentle spirit was taken from the " dissolv-
ing earthly tabernacle" to the house not
naue WIN lblS 70 say Judl
she adorned the doctrine of our Savior. Her
piety was not ftful and evanescent, nor peri
Odical. 1t was like the palm tree-fresh,
cheerful, inviting-making one feel in her
presence, and hearing her conversation, that
surely there are attractions in the Cross OF
Christ. TO no one with whom the writer has
ever been acquainted are the following lines
more applicable:
"Sister, thou vast mild and lovely,
Gentle as the evening breeze"
To the attraction of her person were added
the graces of a cultivated mind, of refined
manners and tastes, and of a sweet, amiable
disposition. Her native endOwments were OF
no inferior order. Independence of thought
was tempered and restrained by wise and
judiciOus decision of character, which enabled
her to bear with composure the calamities OF
life, and the long personal suderings she was
called to endure. To the last her faith in the
Redeemer was firm and comforting. She
knew whom she believed. Then let the be-
reaved parents, brothers and sisters, and above
all the stricken daughter, think, amid their
tears, and with smitten hearts, that 1t is writ
ten, " Blessed are the dead that die in the
Lord" The absent one is mot dead but
s,eepeth." E.

NEW ORLEANS, March 25.-Com-
menting on the call for an extra session
OF the legislature, the Times says: awe
regard an extra session as simply afford
ing an OItunity to do what has been
neglected in the past. Every thing de-
pends on concert of action and deter
minstion on the part Of those having
the material interests OF the State at
heart to see adjustment carried out in
good faith by both parties to the
agreement, and that nothing shall pre-
vent reformation, to gain which this ar
rangement is made"
The Picaltfne says: "Subjects OF
legislation selected for precedence in
order of business are certainly of i'm
portance, and If appropriate action shall
be taken upon them much good may be
accomplished. The several sessions
must not be made an agency or pre-
text Of the revival Of partisan schemes
or for the reputation of party conflicts;
it should be devoted solely to the task Of
adjusting political differences and en-
acting necessary measures OF REFORM"

The earliest declaration of Unit I'd
States court touching the civil rights
bill comes from Judge Emmons, and
was made at Memphis on Monday. 1t
is in the form OF charge to grand
jury with reference to that bill, and is
evidently in answer to a specific inquiry

fact that negro has been denied the
full and equal enjoyment OF accommo-

is crime for which the Jury have the
right to find an Indictment. This query
precipitated the entire question as
to the constitutionality Of the civil rights
bill. Judge Emmons met the query,
not, apparently, altogether willingly,
but altogether like a judge. He

these words: "Such denial is not an of

which the State alone controls" The
