privilege Oh, Ben, this inimitable bit OF
sarcasm carries you further than you think.
Where now are your Temperance profess
sions-we refer not to your personal tenn
perance but to your political temperance
The poor white man may go to the devil,
but the colored man can't, by your aid, let
him wish to ever so much. Cannot you
spare little of your philanthropy to re-
move from the Ignorant and vicious"
white man this 'badge of their superiority
to the colored race9" In your great un-
selfish heart, have you no room for the zig
norant and Vicious" white man ? Cannot
you extend them a helping hand? In
your extreme anxiety to make point,
haveiyou not lost point We fear that
your morality is not quite 80 severe as you
make it out to be. The New York Herald
need not borrow any trouble on your ac-
count.
As the black man has no civil right to
"take drink" neither has he to be shaved
for Ben says that barber has the same
right to shave whom he pleases as has "a
blacksmith to shoe such colored horses as
he pleases." Granted, but why cannot the
blackman 'take drink" as we'll as a white
man The general says because the SELL
ing of liquor is "not public employment.
but private business in which the law does
not interfere" and because theatres, inns
and public conveyances are licensed by
the public authorities and protected by
the police. True, but if this gives right
to colored man to use and enjoy the priv
ilegcs of theatres. inns and public convey
ances, why does it not confer the same
right as to drinking saloons p Are not
drinking saloons licensed Can a man,
anywhere in the United States, carry on
the business of selling liquor without Ii
cense ? Are not drinking saloons, except
where the sale of liquor is prohibited by
law, entitled to the protection OF the po-
lice ? Do they not receive such protection

He has this right or power, not because
liquor selling is not licensed and protected
by law, not because it is not public EN-

is silent upon the subject. The bill simply

BEN MAKES A POINT.

General Benjamin Franklin Butler, in |
his commentary on the civil rights bill,
however correct he may be in his conclu-
sions, is somewhat faulty in his reasoning. |
But If his conclusions are correct, what !
was the use of the law lie says that
1.-THE civil rights bill has not altered the
colored mans rights at all from what they
were before under the common law ap-
plicable to nearly every state in the Union"
If so, and let it be granted if you please,
was the sole object of the law, as he says,
to give him ga greater power to enforce
that right? We apprehend not. Law
makers are not apt to pile remedy upon
remedy, but when an adequate remedy is
already provided, to leave person deprived
of his rights thereto. But whether this is
so or not-and we concede that comulatiye
remedies are sometimes given-we appre-
bend that the civil rights bill would never
have become law but for the fear-rea-
sonable under the peculiar circumstances
Of the south-that the common law on
these subjects might be abrogated at any
time. The common law is only the accep-
ted law of state when it is made SO by
express statute, or, perhaps better, when
an express statute is not passed in derroga-
ton of the common law Granted that the
civil rights bill is but re-enactment of the
common law, its necessity was found in
the fact that although the common law on
the subject might be binding on the several
states, to-day, the possibilities, and even
the probabilities, were that it might not be
tomorrow. Before the passage of the
bill, if Il coored man was interfered will
in the exercise of these rights, he had, a
common law, right of action, but thai
right of action could, by statute, be takeI
from him at any time. These rights arr
now assured to him, and no state can de
prive him thereof. This may not have in
vote, but it went far towards reconcilinl
"a large proportion of the republican part.
toward what appeared like class legislation
and we venture to say, controlled many

He says further, that "the civil right
bill does not give any right to colore
man to go into drinking saloon withou
the leave of the proprietor Conceded
and we are, also, willing to concede thu
the general is as he says, "Nery glad thi
it does not" Perhaps, too, it may be tru'
that he "would not advocate bill whic
should give that right to the colored man

A Refractory Corpse.

Over in Wilmington. the other day. q
man named William ID. Shuckers died. 1t
seems that there was another man in the
city bearing precisely the same name, and
when the death was announced q good
many of his friends thought he was dead,
and they resolved to go to the funeral. On
the day of the funeral the living Shuckers
also thought he would go, partly for the
purpose of ascertaining how it felt to par
ticipate IN the obsequies of man named
William ID. Shuckers. He took up po-
sition in the vestibule, and just as the
mourners were about to come out, a friend
of his named Jones, saw him. The first
impulse of Jones was to rush through the
kitchen, and climb suddenly over the back
fence but he controlled himself, and after
poking Shuckers in the ribs with his ani-
brella to determine positively that he vas
not ghost, Jones remarked;
"Why, Shuckers, what on earth are you
doing here ? Why amt you Ii your cof-

you mean What do | want with cof-
| fin ?"
"Mr. Shuckers, you know you are dead.
Why, they got up all this gorgeous funeral
for you, all these carriages and pall-bearers
and things, and the clergyman's just been
paying you splendid compliments that any
dead man might be proud of.
"But | tell you I'm not dad. I'm as
much alive as you are.
"There is no use of arguing the point,
Shuckers the occasion is too solemn for
controversy. But If you hive any con-

"Jones, my boy said Suckers, "you
have mistaken"
"No, I'm not mistaken. You're dead,
technically dead, anyhow. It has been al
, nounced in all the papers, your relations
have gone into mourning, the board OF
trade has passed resolutions of regret, the
sepulchre has been dug up there in the
cemetery, and the undertaken has gone to

some people who were attracted by his
frenzied manner. This enabled the fugi-

minutes, furious and breathless, and was
uncontrolably enraged upon finding that
he was baffled. Ray stood at the window
with his fingers vibrating at his nose. But
Ter, hatless, barefooted, his long hair tum-
