trOduced bill authorizing. the retirement
OF Gen, w. II. Emory, of the United States

Arkansas, together with such recommends

Mr.. Johnston objected To the latter part

motion, that portion of the resolution was
struck O-t, and as amended. it was agreed
to.

member had tue right to characterize th
language Of another member as improper
ungentlemanly and rufianly. He mad
the point from no other motive than that o
regulating the decorum and proprieties o
debate.
The Speaker remarked that it was clearly
unparliamentary, nomatter what the provo
cation was.

Mr. McLean-I withdraw my remark and
inquire if the gentleman has withdrawn

Mr.. Ssorm-This thing has gone far
enough. insist on regular order.
Mr.. Butler yielded the remainder
Of his hour to Mr.. Lynch, who
proceeded to advocate the bill in written
speech. He declared that the cOIOred peO-
pie did not want social rights; they had
enough of them already; what they wanted
was protection in public rights. If on the
way between Mississippi and Washing
ton, he passed by railroad through the God
fOrsaken States of Kentucky and Tennes-
see, he was not treated as a human being,
but as a brute, and was compelled to oc-
cupy a smoking car night and day with
drurkards and gamblers. If cOlored peO-
pie were not protected in their public
rights, then our bOasted civilization was a
fraud, Republican institutions a failure,
the social system disgrace and religion a
farce.
Mr.. Finck argued against the bill as
violation of the principles Of the COnstitu-
tiOn. He characterized the proposed leg
islatiOn as vicious and hurtful. There had
not been q single instance brought before
Congress Of any Southern State denying to
cOlo-ed citizens any political privileges or
immunities. This bill sought TO establish
social equality. The great danger to the
country was the usuTpation Of the general
government, both in a civil and military
sense, and the only safety was in coming
back to cd parties.
The House took a recess till $50, the
evening session to be exclusively for de-
bate on the Civil Rights bill.
Evening Session.
There was an immense crowd in the gal
leries to listen to the debate on the Civil
Rights bill, but only few members were
present, Mr.. Parker, of Missouri, in the
chair Messrs. Storm and Whitehead Op-
posed the bill. Mr.. Cain advocated it and
sneered at the idea of there being bad
blood between the races South, when sta
tisiies showed more than 100000 mulat-
toes in the country. Is this eyi-
Gence of bad blood? (Laughter.) If
the negroes would only cease to be
Republicans and would vote theD smocra,ic
ticket, there would be no bad blood between
them. As to social equality, he divided it
as a bug bear. Why, said he, do you sup
pose l would introduce into my family a
class Of white men whom / see in the cOun-
nv ? Why, sir, there are men who occupy
places on this floor for whom have great
respect, but whom l should be very careful
how 1 should introduce 20 my family.
MessTs. Harris, Rainey and Rapier spoke
in support Of the bill. Mr.. Lamar made a
brief protest against the bill as disastrous
to the peace, prosperity and happiness Of
the people.

In the matter of cheap and good coal.
Winchester has now no cause fer ON
plant. Heretofore we have paid about %
cents per bushel. and all the coal zoe
Speaking individuality have used, has
been full ofsulphur and slate rock. 80 that
we had to grumble over n useless amount
Of ashes AMI 80 reluctantly into our pock-
ct to get the money for new CRATES every
two or three months. More than all this
was the cost of the coal, and We frankly
say that now a { great want, If not The great
wait, of Winchester is supplied. That is
to say, we can get coal from Coal City, Ga,
delivered at the Winchester depot. for
twelve cents per bushel. We have seen
many specimens of this coal. and it is, ac-
corning to our judgment, far superior to
any coal ever brought to our town. Be-
SIDES we have talked with Mr.. James Lee.
one OF the Oldest blacksmiths of our town.

honesty and candor, and he gives his ap-
probation Of the coal most earnestly. saw

has ever used in his long experience. Ey-
cry other person in Winchester who has
purchased 1t, Is equally loud In its conn.,
mendation. 1t Is free from sulphur and

ashes. 1t can be bought at our depot for
