CIVIL RIGHTS IN WAsHlNoToN.-Since
the passage of the Civil Rights bill.
respectable colored persons have applied
for and been sold tickets to several
places of amusement here, and have
occupied some most desirable seats,
without objection being raised by whites.
Senator Pease, the colored Senator from
Mississippi, and Pinchback occupied
seats in the Opera House last night.
Thus far. no troubles have occurred at
any of the hotels, and it is understood
that respectable colored people will not
not be denied entertainment if applied
for. Both Pinchback and Pease are
stopping at one of the largest hotels.

The Radical ms titution.

The proposed asylum which We are obliged
TO build to account odate the increased num-
Der of lunatics-whose lunacy is ascribable
to the atrocious legislation at the Federal
capitals claimed by large number OF
promising and Yirtuous rural villages. If
any body should think it a strange taste that
towns should be so anxious to become the
site of lunattS asylum, let him remember
how many contestants there have been for
the penitentiary. We apprehend that the
struggle as to. the place where the lunatic
ASYLUM shall be located in some measure
jcopards the bill itself. If pretty warm
jealousy is excited in the discussion Of the
matter, after place is selected the defeated
towns may turn upon the bill itself and, as
it must pass by q constitutional vote, put it
in peril.
We wish there was less Of this sort of con-
test among towns. We suspect that If they
know when they are well OFT they will steer
clear of all asylum, with its directors and
Jobs. We have seen world of trouble
growing out of hostile cliqucs concerning
such institutions. They are always sure to
enlist every body in town, including even
the women and children. Take our advice,
and let the asylum alone. 1t will generate
the disease Of Iunacy in any town that had
ere its establishment been frugal, serene, and
happy. We particularly warn our friend
Governor MCMILLAN against if.
