Washington, April 3O.-The Presi-

befores he retires for the summer to
Long Branch.
Judges Brooks and Dick, in their
charges to the grand jury in North
Carolina, declared the criminal fea-
lures of the civil rights bill unconsti-
tutional, as no law could say that men
are socially equal.
1t is understood that during the ses-
sion of the Grand Jury to-day, they
had under consideration the evidence
of various alleged libels, published in
the New York Sun, against various
citizens in Washington, and especially
Ex-Governor Shepherd, who appeared
as witness himself. 1t is said on ap-
parently good authority, that a pre-
sentiment has been agreed upon, but
that the Indictment will not be brought
into court for some days.
The internal revenue receipts for the
first four months of the present year,
are over two and half million greater
than any corresponding period of last
year.
No business of importance was
transacted at the Cabinet meeting to-
day.
