The United States Senate Sustains
the President.

On the 23d, after Thurman and the
balance of the Democratic Senators
had exhausted all the tricks of legis.
lative procrastination the Senate
adopted the following resolution, ayes

Resolved. That the action of the
President in protecting the govern.
ment in Louisiana, of which w. p.
Kellogg is executive, and the people
of that State against domestic vio-
lence, and is enforcing the laws of the
United States in that State, is ap-
proved.

All the Republicans except Booth
voting for it. Thurman made des-
perate though unsuccessful effort to
so amend it as to break its force.
Even Mr. Booth voted square against
his propositions.
In commenting on the action of the
Democratic Senators, on the Louisiana
question, the Indianapolis Journal
makes the following pertinent and
truthful remarks:
The action of the Democratic
Senators in voting against the reso-
luton indorsing the Presidents $ course
in Louisiana affairs, was in harmony
with their action throughout the
whole Louisiana business. From the
beginning they have treated that
question as purely partisan one. be-
ing guided through all its shifting
phases by two ideas-first to sustain
the Conservatives and White Leagu-
ers of Louisiana, and, second, to make
political capital for the Democratic
party. While constantly prating of
their devotion to the constitution and
the principles of liberty, they have
never once risen above purely par
tisan view OF the question. At several
stages of the complication Republicans
have honestly differed as to the best
course to be pursued, the question
with them being what would contri-
butte most to a peaceable and perma
nent settlement of the Louisiana
question. to the protection of life and
the establishment of law and order.
But no such differences have ever
sprung up among the Democrats.
They have never been in doubt as to
the best policy for them to pursue; it
was simply to defend the White
Leaguers, oppose everything that
looked toward settlement of the
Louisiana question, ana make all the
political capital they could out of it.
Their conduct has not been embar
rassed by any such considerations as
the enforcement of law, the protection
of life, the restoration of peace or the
settlement of Louisiana affairs on the
solid and enduring basis OF equal
rights. They have given no thought
to anything of the kind They have
simply asked themselves how they
could best uphold the hands of the
White Leagucrs and turn the Louisi-
ana question to political account

Kean's Adverse Decision and Ann
EIiza's Five Hundred Dollars ~
Month.
Mrs. Ann Eliza Young, the nine
teenth wife of tue Prophet, sat in her
room in the Grand Central Hotel
(says the reporter of the New York
Sun of the 22d inst.,) surrounded by
newspapers aud an odor of camphor.
You must excuse my appearance and
that of my ROOM she said, with
pleasant smile; but | am just recov-
ering from a severe illness, and am
not feeling quite myself yet" Mrs.
Young. as she sat in her large easy
chair, clad in very becoming morn
ing dress, with crimson shawl thrown
around her shoulders, bit of lace at
her throat and wrists, brown hair
ripping across her forehead, and a
faint flush on her checks, was any
thing but an unpleasant picture.
Il am very glad you have called
upon me-, said She Il don't hesitate
to say that | want to say something
for myself My history, actions, mo-
tives and present position seem to be
most thoroughly misunderstood by
the public. Some of the leading pa
pers are attacking me bitterly. They
say IN a bad woman; that embraced
Mormonism with my eyes open, and
that [ married Brigham Young know.
ing very we'll what | was doing Why
| was born in Mormonism; | was
taught from my infancy that my sal
vatlon depended upon a polygamous
marriage. ! believed that
BRIGHAM YOUNG WAS NEXT TO GOD,
veritable prophet, and when [ first
learned that he wanted me for his
wife, [ could not have been more
shocked or more Mortified if my own
father had proposed marriage to me-
l resisted the very idea. The public
have heard of the influences which
were brought to bear upon me, and
which forced me to yield, And yet in
view of all these facts, l am called
vile woman, while nothing is said
against John W. Young's last wife,
who left her home aud husband in
Philadelphia, where she was reared
and educated, to go to Utah and be-
come the third and favori,e wife of
the Prophets son. 1t was only when
found that Brigham Young was an
ordinary man, and no prophet; when
l found what bad, cruel man he was,
when | found how unhappy his family
were, that lost faith in my religion"
Here her cheeks flushed with indig-
nation. She paused moment and
then continued:
In regard to the legal condition of
my affairs there seems to be great mis-
understanding on the part of the pub
lie, though [ am convinced that GER
tain newspapers wilfully misrepresent
the facts; and am certain that Nor
mon money is the cause of the mis-
representation.

Civil Rights i'm the South.

The civil rights bill has become
law and is in full force, and yet the
world stands and all things continue
as they were since the fathers fell
asleep. The political papers have, in
deed tried to get up some excitement
over the question, but have complete
ly fattened out in the attempt. A few
simple minded colored boys have call
ed at some of the grog shops in Atian-
ia for liquor, and been refused, which
was good for the boys If all Of the
grog-sellers in the city would do the
same, it would be great favor to the
colored people; and then, if they would
turn their white customers out of
doors, and close up the business. that
would be still better, and would rid
the community of an intolerable ours c
and nuisance. There is sort of one
horse theater In town, where colored
people have heretofore been admitted
to the galleries, which is unfortunate
for them. Last week colored boy
took seat in part of the gallery not
assigned to that people, and was as
saulted and driven down stairs. An
other came up, and was beaten and
hurled back with violence and seri-
ously injured. A gentleman and lady.
the day after these occurrences, the
to get to their proper place. the
who was hurt was not the one he was
supposed to be. No matter, he was
''nigycr;" that was enough Whether
these persons have any redress under
the administration of the law, is
matter of doubt. One gentleman at
this theater was armed with a shot
gun, with the avowed purpose Of
shooting any "nigger" who did not
know his place." In this instance,
it is clear that the white men were the
biggest fools, and the only disturbers
Of the peace. If the newspapers had
indicated half as much good sense in
the case as the colored people. there
would scarcely have been ripple on
the surface of the social sea. But,
happily, the papers have slgnally fail
ed to get up any considerable scare.
Their borrowed trouble finds paral-
lei in that of the ancient maiden who
was found batbed in tears, and when
asked the cause of her sorrow replied.
in the midst of heart-rending sobs:
Suppose [ should get married: and
the baby should be creeping along by
the wood pile. and the wood should
fall over it! Oh, oh. OH That
would be sad. The danger was equal.
ed by that threatened by social equal
lty." The people ought to see that
they have been egregiously humbug-
ged and fooled by designing men tor
political purposes on this matter Our
opinions on the subject are unchang-
ed; the rights OF all Of the people as
citizens must be protected before we
can have peace in the South. The
public schools are not and should not
have been disturbed, but Through
the South generality ought to be made
vastly better than they are, for both
white and colored. The social equali-
ty scare is consummate nonsense. No
one is so stupid as to wish to regulate
social affairs by law The law ought
to protect all, however, in the enjoy
ment of their rights This it must do,
leaving all social relations to regulate
thcmselves.-Southern Methodist Ad-

barrel. Are you-puff-hurt, Jack ?
That was precisely the question
Jack himself had turned to ask Het
ty, but before he could utter a word
she had thrown ber arms around his
neck and exclaimed:
oh! Jack, dear, tell me are you
hurt? Yes, indeed you are! Father
Jack is wounded y
The chunky ponies had ceased theil
| stupid rearing, and were just starting
off down the road on what they nigh,
have mistaken for run, when Bill
Virgins caught their brides and
| brought them to trembling sort OF
stand
."Absalom Absalom Peck p shout
| ed old MerriweatheT, In dazed and
uncertain way. why, the mans gone

He said he would ride home for
assistance, father" and Hetty almost
smiled as she said it; ''but l m afraid
he wouldn't get back in time. Oh,
Jack, get into the sleigh and come
home with u.s. You are dreadfully
scratched and torn. Come p
No, Hetty," said Jack, family;
mot to your fathers house. Bill
Wiggins II take care of me. Where S
old Grip?"
The grim Quaker farmer was trem-
bling strangely from head to foot.
Not to my house p he shouted at
last "Why not to my house? | take
it all back, my boy; thee mustn't bear
hard feelings to-day. Thy dogs body
is in my sleigh, and thee must come,
too. | mean to give him decent flu :
neral, but | don't want to go to thine
just yet. Bill Virgins, help me put
him in. Take hold of him on that
side, Hetty, thee can help him good
deal Just now. Never mind thy broken
gun, Jack Maclay; thee shall have a
better one before Christmas
Poor old Grip!' muttered the
wounded hunter, but somehow he
made no sort of resistance, for Hetty S
arm was actually around his waist, and
In few moments more he was snugly
ensconced in the sleigh, with Bill
Wiggins busy binding up his hurts
for him, while old Merliweather was
pounding the astounded ponies home
ward with Jacks own ramrod.
Before long Bill was able to assure
Hetty and her father that the paint
er's" claws had done no serious harm,
ugly as some of the gashes looked,
and the old Quaker leaned back to
ask him:
bill, can thee get me a good saddle
OF venison for Christmas
Il reckon | kim, said Bill.
Then get me two of 'em, if thee
can Thee and Jack will be at my
house to help eat it, thee knows, but
l don't think Hetty will care to have
any other company"
And no more she did; nor did Alb
salon Peck ever again rein in his fat
gray mare in front of her father $
door, not even to bring assistance.
Perhaps he was afraid of meeting
Jack Maclay, or perhaps he didn't
like to tread on the panther skin that
lay for many year before the parlor
door, inside. 1t lay there, to tell the
truth, till the children of Jack and
Hetty Maclay had heard the story of
its capture thousand times, more or
less, from Grandfather Merriweather,
and until their busy feet and fingers
had divested it of almost every vestige
of the fur. Perhaps that was why all
the young Maclays took so naturally
to double barreled deer guns, rifles,
and health giving tramps among the
rugged gOrges of the mountains.

point in the State. The Columbus
Und Republican says on the top of
the Weed Patch,' there is beauti-
full level plane embracing 600 acres of
land. The view from this point is
grand, romantic and picturesque, and
if the ground should ever be properly
cultivated it would make an attractive
and healthy summer resort for inva-

NARROW ESCAPES FROM LIGHTNING.
During the storm on last Saturday
evening the house situated on the cor
ner of John and Spring streets, occu-
pied by the families OF Messrs. Kern
and Fitzgerald, was struck by light
ming. The chimney was shattered and
a portion of the roof torn off. The bolt
in its decent scattered the furniture in
all directions Miss Fitzgerald made a
most miraculous escape. She was in
the basement just in the act of putting
a stick of wood in tie stove, when a
dog lying at her feet was instantly kill
ed, and the floor torn up where she
stood, yet, beyond very severe shock,
she escaped uninjured. A little child
of Mr.. Kerns was standing outside the
door, near lot of barrels and tubs, and,
although these were shattered, it was
not hurt. Mr.. Fitzgerald, who had
been confined to his bed for two months
with acute rheumatism and unable to
move, jumped up and ran out on the
portico. 1t is said that electricity will
cure this disease, and we hope it may
prove beneficial in his case.
This is the second time this house has
been struck within the last few years,
it is situated on ledge of rocks and
there must be some strong mineral at
traction near it.
The barn of Mr. Jacob Miller, who
resides about three miles east of this
city, was struck and set fire, but it was
fortunately extinguished before any Sc
rious damage resulted. The animals i'll
and about the building were considera
bly, stunned.

that he had been in the heaviest storms
