The CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.

Congress
Whereas it is essential 10 just gov

all men before the law, and hold that
it is the duty of the government, in Its
dealings with the people, to mete out
equal and exact justice to all, of what
ever nationality, race, color or persua-
sion, religious or political and it beng
the appropriate object of legislation to
enact great principles into law, there

Be 1t enacted dc, That all persons
within the Jurisdiction of the United

equal enjoyment of the accommodations

and Speer, OF Pennsylvania, of the
Mississippi special committee, have I'LL
tied in report prepared by the for
mer, concluding as follows:
''From a review of the whole testi-
mony we briefly state our conclusions
'First. That in the city of Vicks-
burg and county of Warren, the white
citizens pay about ninety>nine per cent
of the taxes, which have grown enor
mously oppressive, and that. the negroes
chiefly assess, collect and disburse
them.
"Second. That the debt Of the city,
which in 1859 was $4,000, is now
81, 100000, as far as can be ascertain
ed; that it has accumulated to this sum
by reckless and improyident legislation
by republican officials, and is grevlous
burden imposed on a population of
1900 people, less than half Of whom
are white people.
''Third. That corrupt and Infamous
ring composed of negro officials has
existed in said city and county for
several years, who, by forgeries, specu
lation, and systematised frauds on the
revenues have impaired the public
credit, impoverished the people and
augmented the taxes to rates resulting
in practical con6scation.
i.Fourth That Peter Crosby, the
sheriff and tax collector, was the POI
litical and personal friend of the COR
rupt officials, and by his power in sum-
moning juries their conviction was rem

less, and was the chief impairment to
the administration Of justice in the
courts.
"Fiftb. That judge Brown had pub
licly declared that the prosecution of
Cardozo, the leader of the ring, for
malfeasance in office was persecution,
when no honest man in Vicksburg of
either party doubts his guilt, and BY
his pariisanship had destroyed public

A CURIOUS COMPROMISE ON TIE CIVIL
.-s. RIGHTS BILL. ~

WASHINGTON, February 26.-Some
of the democratic members of the
House are indignant over what they
term the surrender of their party
friends in the Senate in the matter of
the civil rights bill. They say they
had right to expect that the democra>
tic Senators would refuse to make any
bargain with the radicals in regard to
this important bill, but would fight it
to the last moment. 1t may be said
that the agreement by which the vote
is to be taken tomorrow did not meet
the approval OF quite number of the
democratic Senators, who were perfect
ly confident of their ability to delay a
vote on the bill beyond the end of the
session, but they were overruled by
their associates. 1t has, ever since the
Pinchback matter was up, been conced
ed by the RADICAL Senators that if the
democrats would present Isl
FIRM FRONT
with their twenty strong, it would be
impossible t. get through any political
Legislation. Hecce this surrender, as
it is called, has been subject of much
surprise all around Several OF the
democratic Senators were to-day In
receipt of kilograms from their canstl-
tuents and from prominent gentlemen
in the North, asking the meaning OF
the consent to allow vote to be reach
ed, as it is considered that the civil
rights bill is as much obnoxious to
public sentiment and as gross an inva-
sion of local self government as any
OF almost any other Of the political
measures brought forward by the radio
al party in Congress. A Southern
democratic Senator photographed back
tonight that it was done so as to use
as much time as possible to
THROW OVER THE FORCE BILL.
to within a day or two of the end Of
the session. This same Senator said
in conversation that he was certain
that as soon as case could be made
the Supreme Court would decide the
civil rights bill unconstitutional. He
said further that he did not regard the
civil rights bill as of much practical
consequence in its present shape; that
the State laws in most of the Southern
States conferred privileges pretty much
similar to those IN the bill. The pas
sage of the civil rights bill, he said,
would lose votes to the republican par
ty. But the force bill would certainly
give the radicals the machinery to
carry the next presidential election.
Therefore, if there was to be any ''sit.
ting ont, she thought it wiser for the
to husband their strength for
the force bill.

THE Civil Rights Bill, which had
previously passed the House, on last
Saturday, passed the Senate In few
DAYS it will receive the sanction of the
President and will become law. 1t
is the offspring of the spiteful feelings
Of a dying party. Its effect will be
only of an Injurious character. The
colored people will presume upon the
rights conferred, and not being able to
draw nice distinctions, will make efforts
to secure for themselves a social
equality not now enjoyed. by whites
among whites. The object of the bill
is to foster animosities and to infame
the passions of the races to such an ex~
tent that bloodshead may ensue. =
While the object of the bill was to
harrass the white people of the country,
the more pernicious effects will be felt
by tie c. lored people. Tie colored race
have much, to gain by living upon
trims of friendship and mutual conf
denee with the whites, and much to
lose by permitting themselves to be -,
come the instruments of discord and
strife between the races In the opinion
of some Of our most eminent lawyers,
the bill will not stand the test of the
courts. and there is some hope that it
may be declared unconstitutional. 1t is
the work of spite and will tell with fear
fll effect upon the party responsible for
its existence. ......
