CIVIL RIGHTS N TEXAS.
OK TIE CARS, TEXAS, February 49,
There is less excitement in Texas about
civil rights than in any other southern State.
The whites seem to feel secure against its
provisions, for they say that it can never be
enforced in this State. The State is so large,
public sentiment is so unanimous, and Fede-
raj courts 30 scattering" that the white
people declare that the bill can never be en-.
forced. or be the cause of trouble, except,
| perhaps, now aud then a negro killed ;
therefore they tell me that they are nditter-
ent whether it passes or not, or whether the
Senate or the House bill becomes law, or
both.
A hotel-keeper Of Marshall, where stopped
day or TWO, told me that ne feared no trou.
BILE in his line Of business from Say sort OF q
civi.rishls bill that Congress could pass. |
asked him what he would do if the bill be-
came law and a negro should apply for &C.
commodations. He answered that ne
groes in Texas bad too much sense to at
tempt any such thing as that. A few of the
"insolent" ones might perhaps make some
trouble, but they would soon be settled. He
said the whites would not submit to any
thing of the sort, Congress or no Congress.
| They might pass laws on the subject Tor al
eternity, but they could not inaugurate " ne
gro equality" in Texas.
Another citizen OF Marshall feared nothing
except that those whom he styled "saSsy ,
negroes might be put up by designing
white men" to Calm some of the advantage.
of the law, and get killed for their "inSo
lence." Texas already has bad name fol-
