any event. His friends would theYeupon
make application to q federal judge for a
writ of habeas corpus and secure his
immediate discharge. The Civil Rights bill
gives the federal courts exclusive jurisdiction
Of cases arising under it. and the sentence OF
the State tribunal would be treated as a
nullity. Moreover the federal District Attor-
ney would prosecute the hotel keeper and
could subpoena as witnesses oil the employees
of the hotel to prove that the statement, that
there were no vacant rooms or seats was
false pretence, and the proprietor would be
subject to the penalties of the federal law.
The only way to nullify the Civil Rights bill is
by getting decision that it is unconstitu-
tional. The very cogent argument of Senator
Carpenter leaves but little room for doubt en-
this point, aud the true course for those who
feel aggrieved by the bill is to bring it as speed
lily as possible to judicial test.

The Civil Rights Bill in Virgins


The bill proposed in the Virginia Legisla-
ture for defeating the operations of the Civil
Rights bill is iDgeniously contrived but we
doubt whether 1t will accomplish its object.
On its face it merely gives legislative sanction
to the ordinary practice of innkeepers and
theatrical managers in all parts of the coun-
try. If man wearing the appearance of a
rowdy, woman suspected to be of bad
character, or a person judged by his looks
to be unable to pay his bill, goes to a hotel
and applies for accommodations it is custom
airy to get rid of them by saying that the
house is iull and can receive no more guests
The Virginia bill proposes to give hotel
keepers the right to say this without respect
to race or color, and to punish as disturbers
of the peace applicants who do not accept
this answer as final and quietly retire. 1t is
the common practice of theatres to assign
particular seats to purchasers of tickets.
and by this means they can put all
negroes by themselves in separate quarter
of the house. 1t is also right of the theatres
to issue, if they please, tickets marked mot
transferable and the proposed Virginia
law proposes to make it penal disturbance
of the peace for any other person than the
buyer of such ticket to present it at the door
and insist on admission. II also authorizes
the theatres, like the hotels, to say that they
are full, and to prosecute for a breach of the
peace any individual who disputes the truth
OF this answer Such law, if il could be
executed, would no doubt keep negroes out Of
wanted hut we do not believe it can be
enforced if the federal courts should hold the
Civil Rights bill to be constitutional.
The penalties OF the Virginia bill are fine
and Imprisonment If negro were fined he
would refuse to pay his fine, even if he we're

Atlantic Storms.

A highly interesting communication on At
lnntic storms has recently been published in
the London scientific journal, Nature, from the
pen of the French savant, M. de Fonvielle
His suggestive views are prompted by brief
editorial comment in our columns of January
20, relative to the terrible westerly gales
through which the transatlantic steamships,
then arriving, had to force their stormy west
ward way. The HERALD article, to which NJ.
de Fonvielle refers, drew from the long record
Of steamer detentions and ship disasters the
lesson ''that the severest cyclones may be
looked for as the sequel phenomena of the
great winter areas of high barometer and in
tense cold; or, in other words, the rising
glass should be studied by the seaman rs care
fully as the falling glass" Citing these
words of the HERALD, in which the French
scientist concurs, he is led by them to make
the very valuable suggestion Of connecting
the barometer conditions in the United States
with those simultaneously prevailing in West
ern Europe. He communicates to the Nature
the significant information that the high ba-
rometers or Polar waves at that time in the
United States were associated and linked
with very low pressures on the other side
of the Atlantic. On the 18th of JAN
uary strong southwesterly gale was
raging at Valentia, which indicated the
presence of n storm centre west of
Ireland, which must have greatly intensified
the effect of the North American Polar waves
on the westward-bound Transatlantic steamers.
There can be little if any doubt that such a
barometric depression as M. de Fonvielle
mentions would produce powerful indraught
of air from the American coasts and greatly
increase the force of our westerly coast winds
in front of Polar wave. Evidently" he
remarks, "the danger is very great when a
rising barometer in America is coupled with
falling barometer in Europe, and v;ce rerso."
The remark unquesiionably holds good, but
the application, as he suggests, con be practi-
cally utilized for storm warning purposes only
when Geographic information can be promptly
passed from side to side of the ocean for the
guidance of the meteorological and navigator
There Is every reason To believe that the
weather conditions on either side Of the
Atlantic are Intimately related and 50 inter-
dependent that when they can be reciprocally
telegraphed from Europe to America the
furious tempests of mid-ocean may be approx
imately predicted. When this is accomplished
it will show the utility Of the system Of inter-

The NIcnnonitcs.

So quietly and unobtrusively has this large,
fourishing and important sect accomplished
its work that the general reader knows little
or nothing of its existence. We should take
no interest in its growth were it not for the
fact that for the last few years its members
have been emigrating to this country, and are
likely within the next two or three decades to
make themselves felt as an industrial element.
The sect originated with Memo Simonis, who
was the contemporary of Luther. He gathered
together the broken columns of tine descend
ants of the Waldenses and established So
ciety whose peculiarities were like those of
the Shakers and Quakers. Their corner stone
of faith was non-resistance. They were a
sober, thrifty, thoughtful people, and made,
withaI, as good citizens as any country could
desire. But Europe was, and is, and for
long time to come will be, military in it's
ardor. One OF its prime demands upon
a subject il tor military service.
Everything else may be ignored or avoided,
but not that. For this reason the Mennon-
ties had hard time. They were shifted from
place 10 place and lived uneasily, admired by
q few and hated and despised by many. Near
the close of the last century very large num-
Der of them were invited to settle on the
fertile lands of Southern Russia, and such
liberal concessions were made to them that
they accepted the invitation, under the I'M
precision that at last they had found psrma-
nent home. They at once set about clearing
lands, raising cattle, building mills and doing
the other work Of successful colony, and in
the course of couple of generations grew to
wealth and no little influence.
In Russia, however, exemption from mill
tary service cannot last. So long as the sect
was insignificant it could be overlooked but
when the covetous eye Of war saw scores and
hundreds of able-bodied men the government
forgot its concessions and pledges and de-
manded the usual military tribute. So OBJ
noxious as this to the feelings of the Mennon-
ties that they resolved to sell their immense
property to the highest bidder and to emil
crate to more friendly cline. OF course
they turned their eyes toward America. Here
they can have all the freedom they can use
and all the land they can till They will be
left in peace to practise their peculiar GUS
toms so long as they arc orderly and law
abiding citizens. Last year they contracted
for something over q hundred thousand acres
in Kansas. They have also property in
Canada, Minnesota, Dakota Territory and
other places. 1t is expected that within few
weeks at least one thousand families, dis
turbed by the bad faith of the home govern
ment, will arrive in this country.
The Mennonites ore not given to the vagaries
of most of the eccentric sects which gravitate to
the Western prairies, but are thoughtful
skilled in the arts and industries, frugal and
thrifty. They will doubtless, before many
years, take the lead among the somewhat
abnormal societies of America and constitute
a new enigma for the politics of the next
generation to solve.

RAPID TRANSIT IN A NUTSHELL. way to
achieve rapid transit is simple. Let us have
the Elevated Railway on Greenwich street con-
tinued as far as Kingsbridge. That will do
for the west side. Let us have the Vanderbilt
road, which is now nearly completed from
Forty-second street to Harlem. continued down
Fourth avenue, the Bowery and William
street to the Battery. This will do for the
EAST side. There might be connection be-
tween the Elevated Railway and the Forty
Second street depot which could be made in
month, and would give us steam from the
Battery to Westchester. These are practical
points, and why not consider them?

Mr.. Van Nort's Letter to Mr.. wickham

MI. Van Norris Letter to Mr.. Wickham.
What one man can do to obstruct the
growth and development of the city has been
proved by Mr.. Green in his unpopular career
ns Comptroller and if further illustration
than his own acts of the evil he has inflicted
on New York is needed it is amply afforded
in the letter from Mr.. Van Mort, which we
print this morning 1t was addressed to Mr..
Wickham while Mr.. Van Mort vas still the
Commissioner of Public Works, and is an IN
answerable argument in favor of completing
the uptown improvements which were long
ago projected. Many of these improvements,
so essential to the progress and prosperity of
the community, were proposed and advocated
by Mr.. Green when he was Park Commits
sioner, but have met with his bitter and unre-
lenting hostility stree he became Comptroller.
Yet the reasons for continuing the work of
opening new streets and providing for the
wants of an increased population are
stronger now than they were then. and the
hostility of Mr.. Green cannot be as much to
the measures as to the men who urge them.
This feeling Of personal jealousy stands be-
tween New York and her future, and the bar
must be broken down if we are to proceed with
the development of the city. The character
of Mr.. Green's opposition is well summed up
in one sentence of Mr. Van Nort's letter.
During my administration the Comptroller
has repeatedly nullifed the ordinances of the
Common Council and the approval of the
Mayor by withholding his approval of the sure
ties on contracts for reasons other than those
affecting the suffciency Of the sureties, thus
assuming and exercising veto power more
absolute than that vested in the Mayor" Mr.
Van Mort truly says that this is a power which
the Legislature never intended to confer, and
that its assumption violates the principles of
democratic government.
Since this indictment was made Mr. Van
Mort has ceased to be Commissioner of Pub
lie Works and Mr.. Wickham has become
Mayor But Mr.. Green still remains Comp
troller, and insists upon using both the legal
and illegal powers of his position to stop the
development of the city. We suggest that if
New York is finished Mr.. Green had better
build Chinese wall around it, and SO bring
his policy of obstruction to q logical close.

The Return OF tho Hon. Bill King.
AS Congress leaves Washington the Hon.
William King enters it, md might we'll ex-
claim, with the burlesque tragic heroine,
'Ive just arrived in time to be too late"
This is remarkable example of exactitude in
calculating time, and will strengthen the gen.
eral belief in Mr.. Kings sagacity. For
months he has been the man whom Congress
especially desired to see; he has been looked
foras theoretically as Stanley looked for Living
stone, and his discovery in Canada was almost
as unexpected as would be that Of the North
Pole But Congress was the body which Mr..
King especially desired not to see, and, as our
correspondents interview with him shows,
private business, fortunately, compelled him
to spend the winter in Canada.
OF course Mr.. King tells tale of griev-
GUS wrongs he has endured in his exile. He
never knew how rapidly the newspapers
could lie till they undertook to tell how fast
be travelled When they said that he was
hiding from the Congressional Committee of
Investigation he felt virtuous indignation The
fact being that he was not hiding, but had
merely left the country by advice of his
counsel. This explanation is quite lucid, and
we do not doubt that Mr.. King will be quite
as successful when he undertakes to show
what he did with the large sum he received
from the Pacific Mail Company about the
time its subsidy bill was before Congress.
He declares his intention to disclose that

ton.
But dismissing all these matters. we are
glad that Mr.. King has come back, and hope
that before he goes away again, whether to
sell bull, obey his counsel or collect his
claims, his relations to the Pacific Mail affair
will be finally decided. He is little bill
which it is the duty OF the country to settle.
