| WASHINGTON, D. c., February "a, 1875.
Passage or fhe yCivfI-Hights BilI-Sen
ator Carpenters Grees speech In Op
position to It. .aa,> rzrl Il.
This has been the most interesting, as il
was in = party sense the most important,
day Of the present session of Congress, the
caucus force bill in the House and tbe civil.
rights bill in the Senate attracting unusual
attention. 80 -.-#.- .5aa $685..
Senator Carpenter made bis first speech
of the session. 1t was "a solid le-
gal argument against the civil-rights
bill, and. attracted the closest attention of
the prominent senator's on both sides, and
for the first time in several weeks everything
else was disregarded in the Senate excepting
the argument that was being made. His
view of the civil.rigbts bill, briefly stated, is
that it is measure beyond the limits of the
Constitution. The bill has passed, however,
and will, of course, be promptly signed by
the President. AS usual, the galleries of the
Senate were crowded with negroes to-day,
who have felt a great interest in the bill.
Many northern and western Republicans do
not hesitate to say that Its practical enforce
ment in their sections is bound to work dis
astrously to the party.
The Prospects of the Force Bill
are no better than they were last night. The
best of the leading Radical lights in the House
are opposed to it.. These, include Messrs.
Blaine, Poland, Dawes, Garfield, E. r. and
George T. Hoar, and several others. Butler,
though he cracks his whip vigorously, is not
meeting with the success be expected. There
are several amendments to be proposed to the
bill, and it must run most formidable
gauntlet even to get through the House un-
der any circumstances.
The bill cannot get before the Senate until
Tuesday, if it passes tonight. as there will
be objection to Its consideration on Monday,
as the Senate will put it over Que day.
If it then comes before the Senate on Tues
day, the Democrats can effectualy kill it by
debate OF twenty bours after which, by law,
both houses must adjourn. There has been
no special measure before Congress since
ante.bellum times in which there has been
so much interest manifested.

xHD SUHz CANAE. zSEt6 preesntJ6ns
dition ofthe Surz,C Canal, is exciting ;at.
tention in England, The history Of
this extraordinary enterprise may be
told in q few words. Il was built
mainly by France and French capital
against the strenuous opposition y of
England. Its practical, ADVANTAGE,
however. has been to the benefit Of
England. that nation having occasion
to use It more than any other. Con-
sequently, ever since the utility OF the
enterprise has been demonstrated. the
English have strained every effort to
obtain possession of it. The canal ia
said to be on the highway OF England
to India. One of the doctrines" of
English diplomacy is, that no foreign
nation shall interfere with this hiaI.
way. About one.third of the shares in
the ownership OF this canal are held
ny the Khedive, another third by Eng
tish owners, and the remaining third
by French capitalists. This gives the
khedive the casting vote in its
management, in addition to Che
right OF authority which. he pos.
faesses as the sovereign of the country.
An attempt has been nude to induce
tne hbedlve to sell his shares to Eng
lish capitalists, but thus far without
success. The cost Of keeping the ca
nal in order, dredging and strengthen.
ing 1t. is from So. .000,00O to 81, ,O0O,.
OO0 year. The receipts last year
only amounted to S6.OOO.OOO. It, is
also said that the condition OF the
canal is not satisfactory 1t is
neither completed nor in good repair,
and that. unless strengthened and
deopened, it will become useless.
Although broad enough to accommo-
date three steamers abreast, its depth
ts SO variable that but one steamer can
pass at time. Ii vessel happens to
get aground, Communication is inter.
Tered with until it is set ahoat again.
Consequently the travel is precarious,
and there are complaints. The mat
ter is OF 80 much Importance to Eng
land and other maratime nations. that
1t would not surprise US to End the CO.
nai transferred to an international
com mission and made one of the ueu-
trul highways of the world.

Never do thou loaf about, nor knock
down the type, or the boys will love

Thou shouldst never read the COPY

knock thee down.
Never inquire OF the editor for news,

It is not right that thou shouldst

When thou dost enter his Office.
take heed unto thyself that thou dost

A sprightly lady correspondent,
writing from Now York, infinitely do.
soribes the various tricks resorted to
by the female smugglers for getting
silks, laces and diamonds through the
custom house. The officers have only
to look these females in the eye to see
toadozen just the number OF gloves and
just the number of yards of silks and
laces and velvets they have on their
mind. II the thing is managed right
ly they usually pass the men. and even
when handed over to the female ex-
amining custom house officer, they yet
clear, for the women officials are lost
as smart as tho men. You put hand.
some ring on the intruding hand, and
the little package OF unset diamonds
liz not disturbed from its resting
placs in the top OF ones stock
ing or the bottom of ones skirt.
Some time ago q passenger of
French ship was suspected of
having quantity of diamonds to get
through. AMI on the dock she was told
she must be examined. The dear girl
protested. It was 10 use. SO turn.
ing to her fellow-passepgers she bade
them tender adieu. The warm en-
brace che bestowed on one lady was
touching; ohe kissed her, not once,
but twice, and with each kiss she gave
into her friend'e keeping solitaire
worth 93, GOO. Then che went of with
whole mouthful. which che would
have swallowed like 80 many pills
rather than disgorRe. AS she after
wards explained, those awful big stones
impeded her utte>anoe. and she In.
tended giving the oustom house people
a.piece OF her mind. And shus. she
was enabled to do 30. thanks to her
own ingenuity and tho size OF hes
friend's mouth.

Senator elect Andrew johnson told
O correspondent of the st. Louis Re-

douDt whatever about President
Grants third term purposes. He did
not know anything about the details,
personal or otherwise, of the situation
at Washington, because ho had been
there bat very little, and had his
mind occupied with other affairs while
there. But go far as he hes been able
to judge, from his knowledge of Grant
as man and politician, he thought
there was no end to the number of
terms be would take IL he could get
them-in fact, there was no end to
anything Grant would take If he could
get it.

HE REPORTS ON THE SoUTA. The
reports OF the com mittees Of Congress
on the state Of Bffairs in the South are
thorough vindication OF the human
ity and governing capacity of the
white people Of the South. The great
crime OF the Northern .Oongressmen
was their assumption that Southern
whites had been cruel aud barbarous.
The assumption was false, as they
knew In their own hearts. To argue
that they did not know that in all the
virtues Of civilization tho white peo.
pie OF the South we're their equals
(and. as we know, their superlors)
would be to assume that they were as
Ignorant as they We're malignant.
But it suited their party purposes to
assume that the Southern whites we're
cruel and barbaroue. and they had not
enough honesty and consoientiousnes ess
in their vindictive hearts to restrain
them from the outrageous assumption.
The Congressional Committees have
made their reports. They vindicate
the South from the aspcrsions of
Northern men. and yet for the sake Of
preserving their vicious party organi-
cation. the majority OF both the Ala
bama and Louisiana Committees assert
propositions utterly at war with their
own Information. But can the nation
be induced upon the information they
give to take steps which outrage the
Constitution and degrade tho white
race which has saved the country-in
the South, at leaat-from utter ruin
and anarchy.
As we have often said, the North
must dispose of the question. 1t is
one ofthe most lamenrable OF things,
that the questions affecting Southern
society and negro capacities are left to
the North to decide. There the negro
is In numbers 80 small. that no proper
opinion Can be formed of him and his
relation to Southern society. It is an
| indispensable qualification OF the
Judge, that he shonld be impartial and
fully understand the subject he has to
decide upon. And yet here we have
an anomaly in human history, that the
Northern people, who are altogether
inoompetent--incompetent by want of
Information, and incompetent from
prejudice and fanaticism-are by the
train of circumstances placed in judg.
ment over Southern society and over
the white people of the South, who are
not IN this day. nor were not in any
preceding age, exoelled for their civil
! customs and social virtues. This is q
terrible fact. This country will ap.
preciate it ere long. We are panied to
think that its appreciation will be
learned in sorrow and misfortune. But
come it will, and this nation has to
understand through its agony tho fear.
fnl consequences of surrendering it's
Government to the control of q COM
bination of fanatics and corrupt poll
ticians.-Richnaond Dispatch.
