GALVESTON, June Sin the United
State. District Court this morning, IN
the case against the proPrietors OF the
Galveston Ne,rS, the attorney for the
defendants presented motion to qIash
the indictment on the following grounds:
First. the court had not jurisdiction in
such n matter of contempt and such
procedure on the part of the court was
contrary to all laws and practices OF the
United States; second, the demurrer,
that while the proprietors Of the
Ne,rs claimed the right and privilege
to discuss all questions before the co"r-
in which the public were interested.
The article referred to higher law, yet
mo- di,rrs pect was intended to the court
Judge Bollinger expressed his desire to
state the legal points involvedtoo. Judge
Morrill, decided not to hear them, stating
that he would take the papers under ad-
viscmcnt until tomorrow morning. Inc
questions on his mind first to be settled,
was An answer sufficient to show the
cause why the attachment for contempt
should not be issued. If it was deemed
proper further proceedings would be
unnecessary.

The civil Rights Bill.

WINoNA, MrNN., June S-Judge. K.
r. Nelson OF the United States District
/ Court. now in session, to. day, rendered
an opinion affirming the Coustitutonalty
of the supplementary civil rights law,
which is believed to be the first adjudica
ton in this direction by federal judge,
a. Judge Nelson has been lifelong
| Democrat. His emphatic opinion pro-
duces no little astoniShmcnt among
! politicians us well as lawyers. The OPT
! MON was gwen in response to a request
made by the Grand Jury before whom
a case was brought by the District Attor-
ncy under the civil rights bill. After
| rccIting the provisions Of the last three
| amendments to the Constitution, and
/ after attending to the celebrated
slaughter house decision of the Supreme
! Court ofthc United States, Judge Nelson
proceeds: l call your attention to this
case for the reason that several distin-
gui>hd federal district Judges, and one
eminent circuit Judge in inStructing the
grand jurors. upon the presentation of Il
similar question, have considered that
the Interpretation by the United States
Supreme Court of this first section, of
the l4th amendment, is judgment
against the constitutionality of the law
under consideration. and have therefore
given negative reply to the question
propoundei. With great respect for the
opinions of these Judges, | cannot
consent to their conclusions, and while
[ have no sympathy with this kind Of
Congressional legislation, and believe
that the State government should punish
all wrong or outrage Of this character
committed within itsi limits, still |
think that when race, color, notoriety,
religion or political belief furnishes the
only reason for the commission of such
wrong or outrage, proper occasion
arise, for the exercise of the power OF
Congress. Under thi>hmendment the o3-
lection urged against such law, is that
it seeks to punish in the Federal Courts,
violation of certain privileges which
pertain 10 State citizenship.

LAWYER what would be a confession OF
guilt, if the law did not protect these con-
tidenceS. Yet men say these lavish pro-
fessions of sorrow in Beechers letter, are

honest but injudicious self-reproaches Of
men who had acted in the impulse Of
doing good to others so many pearls cast
before swine who afterwards sought 10

because Beecher is more tender than

The following is told Of beautiful sheet
of water known as the Spirit Lake in Cen
tral Wisconsin: Many years ago, ere tho
foot of the pale fac" had trod the soil which
the red man claimed as his own, many
tribes dwct Ecar this lake. for in this lake
were fish, and among the bluffs and in the
ncighboring forest were game while the
warrior, when tired oi the chase, could seek
,leasurc and find it, bathing III the clear,
bright waters, which he only, under the
Great SPIRIT claimed, and with his light
canoe could take his love out boating. In
deed, it seemed to the happy red man q
paradise as well it might.
As fortune would have il, a Frcnchman,
more daring than his fellows, wandered
from the settlements and found the lake ::
he INDUCED with the Indians in the pleas
ure and disappointment of the chase, and
fingered long among them. When first he
came among the rel men, he was charmed
with the beauty and lovelincss of an Indian
maiden and made love to her.
She loved in return, and all went on mer-
rily and when the autumn leaves began
to fall and the feathered songstcr to fly
away to a southern home, the French hun
ter sought an inteiyi v with the aged
chief, her father to ask his conso At to the
hoped for marriage.
But at the same time q young warrior
who had long looked with jealous eyes up
on the Frenchman, and had often in vain
sought to win the affections of the fair
maiden of his tribe, came to the old chief
and asked for his daughters hind. The
cheftaia, disdainine rurtialiy to the war
rior on account Of the fact that he was one
of his tribe, stepped to the bank of the lake
with the two suitors, and pointing to high
and ragged-looking trto upon the opposite

4 correspondent tells capital story up
on the poet Whittier, who is rs modest as
he is gifted. He was in Chicago, and went
to hear the Rev. E. II. Chaplin speak n
lecture somewhere up town. The clergy
man was eloquent as usual, his discourse
intcrlardcd with highly wrought passages
of rhetoric, closing with a stirring poetical
quot tti0n, so well delivered that the Qul-
kcr bard applauded with the rest. Some
one sitting next to him inquired
"Do you know, Mr.. Whittier, who is the
author of this extract ?"
NO, do not. 1t sounds familiar, and l
ike the SENTIMENT
"Why, the lines are yours, Mr.. Whittier.
You must remember them. They are from
your famous anti-slnvery ODE
$50 they are" said Whittier, after a lit
tie reflection. and blushing like school
gill caught reading her first love-letter
Il really did not recall them. Indeed, they
sound so much better than they ever sound
ed before, that it is not strange failed to
recognize them
The poet, though Thoroughly sincere, did
not recover for some time from the embar-
ras5mcnt of outwardly acclaiming his own
composition, but has now come to regard
it as so good Joke that he tells it him
self.

A shocking case of premature intermcnt

and how the gray haired sire, when he Of

son--prayed that he might return in safe

And then one Thanksgiving day, when
they had about given him up for dead, al
though the plate and vacant chair told the
story of a mothers mdyins hopes, just as
