The Civil Rights Bill.

During the discussion Of the civil
rights bill in the U. S. Senate on
Saturday last, Mr.. Carpenter said
"that after thoroughly considering
the bill he would be compelled o
vote against it, but was not willing
to record his vote against a measure
supported by so many of his associ
ates in tho senate without giving his
reasons for doing 50. He then spoke
at length against the bill, and was
listened to throughout with the
greatest attention, both by those on
the floor and in the galleries. He
concluded as follows: | can under
stand how an orator like the Senator
fcom Indiana could inflame the pas
sions of a popular assembly and rally
them to the support Of the bill, but |
confess my astOnishment and sorrow
that be can carry with him the sem
ate of the United States and pass
this bill through all the forms of en-
actment, but am consoled, however,
by the confidence that if it shall be-
come law, the JUDICIAL courts will
intervene to vihdicate the constitu-
ton"
Attic conclusion of Mr.. Carpenters
speech, brief colloquy took place
between him and Mr.. Morton, the
latter urging his argument of yester-
day, that excluding colored men from
the Jury box was a denial of the
rights and privileges guaranteed by
the fourteenth amendment.
After long debate, the vote was
taken on Mr.. Thurman's amendment
to amend the section 10 regard to
Jurors, 90 that it should not apply to
state courts, and it was rejected,
yeas &c, nays 40, Messrs. Carpenter,
Ferry, of Connecticut, Hamilton, of
Texas, Schurz, Sprague and Upton
voting with the democrats in the af-
| tirmatiVe.
The bill was finally reported to the
senate, and no amendment having
been made in committee of the whole,
the question was upon its third read
! ing. Which was ordered and the bill
| passed.

The Wisconsin Legislature.

This body closed its twenty eighth
session on Saturday morning last.
The session began on the 18th of JAN
uary and was of So days duration,
making it one of the shortest sessions
ever held. 1t has been very impor-
tant one, and considering the fact that
the election of United States Senator
considerably delayed legislation, cred
it IS due the members for their indus
try. The State tax levied is S235, l25
against $287,525 last year, reduc-
ton Of $4,000 from last year Had
it not been for the appropriation of
Sol 900 to rebuild the institution for
the blind, and $25, 900 for the addition
to the university, the reduction would
have been $4,000 more. All the
laws of general interest enacted dur
ing the session will appear in supple
ment form in the HERALD soon,

Danger Ahead.

We are drifting into another civil
war, because there is a want of union
among men who have no desire to
see war in the land. While the
South is uniting, with the determina-
ton to vote solidly for the election of
it's future Democratic tool to the
next Presidency, we are snarling and
quarreling about matters that are of
70 real moment. Desire TO have
power and place animates some men
here, and they are ready to "bolt"
whenever their 'claims" are not
blindly admitted.-Boston Traveller
This is q very concise and truthful
statement of the political situation.
The Democrats, North and South,
are uniting compactly upon the
Southern platform, "a they were be-
fore the war, and Mt the same time
the Republicans, WHO are the real
friends of the nation as a whole, are
quarreling among themselves and
dividing over non essential questions
snd the possession of the empty
honor or once, ~ non auu nafIno-
ny" should, from this time until after
the next Presidential election, be the
motto and the study of all true Rev
pubicans everywhere, in Congress
and out of Congress in State Legis-
latures, in the press and throughout
the entire Republic. Otherwise, the
Government will fall into the bands
of the nations enemies, an event
which under present and prospective
circumstances, cannot be anticipated
by patriotic men without the most
serious apprehensions. 1t is time for
wise counsels to prevail, and for the
sinking of personal considerations IN
the one object of preserving the ma
tonal honor and integrity - Chicago

salutatory Of his new paper, makes
this sanguine prediction Nor do |
read the signs Of the times as those
who believe that the country is to be
afflicted with the success of the demo-
cratic party in the presidential election
of 1876. On the contrary, the indica
tons point to the defeat of the party
in the great national contest. And l
here predict that the great party
which has controlled the national

only have a new lease of power in

Every year increases the populari-
" of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our Cd patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
audit is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents arc pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes.

The Independents will find but few
grains of comfort in the following re-
port of an interview with the new
Senator from Wisconsin by a Sentinel
reporter. 1t was held at Milwaukee
Just before the Senator's departure
for Washington. He replied to the
questions put as follows:
There is not word of truth in the report
that | would act with the Independents in
Congress. | never entertained such a ridicu-
ous idea. | know of only two parties at
Washington, and the Independent is neither
of them. don't see how | could join that
party when have no idea of its existence at
Washington.

always, and do not intend to vote any other
ticket now. l was a Wing in the days when
there were Wings, and have been a Republi
can since the organization of the party.
When ! go Washington | intend to act with
the Republican party
AS will be seen in the dispatches
lsewhere Senator Cameron has kept
good his promises made at Milwaukee,
and will hereafter, as heretofore, act
with the Republican party, along with
Senators Christiancy, of Michigan, and
Paddock of Nebraska. This settles
that little matter of doubt. Mr.. Cam
eron will be found in Matt Carpenters
brigade, and to "keep step to the mu-
sic Of the Union.'
