priet0E Of many year, experience With
cOluued walters had found them the first

regulate iIselE that the interests Of his
business and The sentiments Of his patrons
Ah0uld Be protected, and this even q the
disregard Of laE. He preferred lSpSy
penalties rather than suffer the destTUe-
tiOn Of his business. Another gentleman,
employing French servants, stated that
be should exercise the right, al be always
had, Of discriminating With regard to the
quality and character Of his patTouB; that
e. could not entertain cOlOred people,
intoxicated or disrepatable persons, nor
those who we're uptidly dressed; that in
all thess matters he was Obliged to ex.
eTciso the greatest caution. The senti-
mentI Of other prOpFietOrS we're found 10
Be similar 10 thee. Only one was found
that expressed himself willing TO abide
BY the law. Generally no trouble was
apPrshended from the new Law, a Il was
thought that tho matter WOnld regulate

The feeling Of the colOred portion Of
the population in New York generally
Was found to 30 that The civil rights bill
was Of little advantage 70 the RAGS, and a.
q political measure was q failure. Isaac
II. Hunter, one Of the members Of the
Liberal Republican Association, said
that the Radical Republicans had played
this MEASURE as their Last card, and in 80
doing had thought 70 win over the oolored
vote; but the colOTed men had lost all
confidence In the Republican party; and
BY taking from Charles Summers bill the
very esience Of civil rights TO the coloEed
men the Republicans had spoiled their
whole game. The coloEed voters had de-
pended, on the dicalRepublicans 70 long
and had absolutely gained nothing, that
they were not likely now to place any
trust in them for the future.
Peter W. Downing, who Is in the Gus
tom.hpuEe, said ii would have been better
II no bill at all had been passed than the
present one. II gave the ColOred man no
other rights than no had already gained
under the amendments TO the Constitution.
The Rev. ]. Morris Williams said that
the bill did not give satisfaction to the
edpeOpls generally, although o large
proportion accepted Il - the best they
were likely TO get under the cirCum-
stances. In his opinion II showed that
the Administration party was very weak
in the knees.
The Rev. Jacob Thomas said he was not
satisfied with the bill, as II was virtually
Of little practical effect.
The Rev. William spellman said that
he thought tho civil rights bill, as q law,
will he like many other statutes, entirely
Valucless and OF no effect. The prejudi-
ces Of some persons would still remain,
aud they would continue 70 ovade the
law without actually violating it, tenets,
