A MONKEY AND CIVIL RIGHTS.


Editor Bulletin
The Republican, of the 25th inst, has tht
following extract, which could only have beer
reproduced by it in ignorance or wilful per
version Of the facts therein commented on
| ''The Rochester Democrat says "A sheriff
in South Carolina. has levied on monkey to
satisfy debt. We don't know what he did
for living, but one Of the South Carolina
hotels, afflicted by the Civil Rights bill, has
lost Its landlord :"
Now, the real facts were, that shortly after
the passage Of the Civil Rights BILL large,
well-formed, but halt-civilized monkey ap-
piled for accommodation at the counter of one
Of the leading Charleston hotels. The pro-
prietor after taking legal advice, consented
to his admission but at the end OF the first
fiscal week, upon his guests failure to pay
its dues he again consulted his lawyer, and,
acting upon his advice, made affidavit and
obtain ed from the State Circuit Court writ
of c0piaS al respOndendum, by color of which
the Sheriff levied upon the said defendant.
Thus far the ReDatliicd1tS s statement is correct
but it fails to explain how, by the outrageous
process of the United States Courts, under
the Civil Rights act the unfortunate land
lord was arrested for an alleged violation of
its provisions, and that while he is still held
in custody, his business, deprived of his
supervision, is being ruined.
Your disingenuous contemporary fails to
acknowledge that, taking advantage Of the
confusion reigning in the hotel on account Of
its masters absence, the monkey insulted
the misfortunes Of his quondam host, by en-
tertaining at that very hotel (and by virtue of
an express order obtained from the afore said
COURT choice party of friends, selected from
the members of the State Supreme Court and
Legislature, to whom he felt most attracted
by lffinity.
And now, will the Repabyjcon, upon the
fair, candid statement of facts, which work
the ruin OF an honest man, and the unmerited
elevation Of an unworthy adventurer, presume
to defend the operation of the Civil Rights
bill:

money, and seem like banqueting halls de
serted
Grocers groan over the lack of trade. Mer
who bought by the pourd buy by the quarter
men who bought by the chest buy by the
| pound. Butchers say that their trade has de
creased one-half; men live on vegetables. The
BARRIERS complain; men shave themselves.
The car receipts are reduced; men walk in
stead OF riding. They have nothing to do,
and five cents is worth saving The churches
feel this state Of things terribly. In one
church that happen to know, over third OF
the pew rents have been lost, and the penny
collections have been reduced one-ha!f.
In the most important Baptist church in
this city $1,000 was taken from the minister $
salary, and III milf he resigned general
reduction Of salaries is threatened all along
the line. Last year in Brooklyn, very costly
Presbyterian church was built through the
influence Of one man. He was worth quar-
ter Of q million, and promised to see the
thing through He went to smash, and the
minister, disheartened, has left. Our mission
work feels the pressure beyond example. The
sufferers have increased a hundred told, and
the supply is cut off full fifty per cent.
The same is true of all the benevolent
operations. The Dutch Church have an
nounced that their receipts the last month for
missions were the smallest ever known since
the organization. Men are begging who
never begged before. There is absolutely
nothing to be done, and no pay if people
could get work. To say that there is actual
want and starvation IN the city is to speak
within bounds.

OUR BRIGHTEST HOPE.

We say it regretfully and with many qualm
of conscience, but we say it boldly, that if W.
of the South had been compelled to wait unit
our brethren of the North were moved to pity
our hapless and almost helpless condition by
means of words or through any appreciation
OF our wrongs and suiferings, we would proba
bly, have waited until the sun swung from its
orbit and went kissing through illmitable
space.
No words of ours, no knowledge of the
cruel and barbarous treatment meted out to
us by the Central Government, ever moved
the great mass of people in the North to sym
pathy, much less to indignation. SO long as
they made money and were not interfered
with materially in any of their rights and
privileges, the people of the North regarded our
situation with nonchalance and stoicism
which would have been amusing had it not
been so disastrous in its effects upon the
South.
We cried aloud unto them, showed them
our wounds, exhibited our people PROSTATE
and bleeding beneath the iron rule of the
carpet-bagger and the military tyrant but
they glanced at us askance, and mumbling
some meaningless words of coincidence,
turned away to pursue the paths that lead up
to the golden temple where they worship
They little dreamed that in their heartless in
difference for the sutftrings and wrongs of the
people of the South they were fatally iniur-
ing themselves-that they were undermining
their own fortunes and would one day look
III utter amazement at shrinkage of values
almost unparalleled in any country. They
begin to see it all now very clearly; they find
that their riches are crumbling away and
vanishing into thin air. Real es ate is going
down, stocks of all kinds are depreciating,
firms that have been always regarded as Al
are failing; wet blanket seems to have been
thrown over the business OF the entire North.
and men in their despondency and gloom are
becoming convinced that the policy of crush
ing one-half the country under the heel Of a
merciless despotism is fatal ld awful
blundor. The pockets of the people of the
North have been touched, and sympathetic
chord in their hearts vibrates responsive. As
an evidence of how the shoe pinches, we quote
the following from a recent letter of the New
York correspondent Of the Boston Journal:
Building is stopped, and men by the hum
dreds are thrown out of work. Rents are
down, and landlords have to wait where rents |
remain, or take the stores and warehouses on |
their own hands Every third store on Broad |
way seems to be to let, with chambers and |
lots innumerable. Men who had fair employ
ment last May, and took "A tenement to live in,
having lost their places, have to give up So

To be successful in any business it is
necessary to be able to supply customers
with what they want, and to suit them in
quality, style and prices. In order to
do this the dealer must give strict atten-
ton to the keeping up of his stock, pur-
chasing only such good as he knows will
give satisfaction in every particular.
This rule applies to the printing bust
ness as much as any other In fact,
there is a very great diversity of tastes
and ideas on this subject. We are pleased
to call the attention Of our merchants
and business men generally to an estab.
lishment which has gained the reputation
of being eoer in dd0GGce of all competi-
tors. Their Office is supplied with the

piled to in vain, it will surely be found

Mr.. Robinson is an old residenter and

turned TO him the principal and a small rate
OF interest added, and in addition has an op-
portunity to draw premium ranging from
