The Army Bill.

Tie following is the text Of the
section of the United States Army
Appropriation bill which was the
subject of irreconcilable difference
between the House of Representa-
tives and the Senate, and Which being
adhered to by the House, caused the
failure of the bill:

oils or S. B. Packard to be Governor
OF the State of Louisiana; nor shall
any Of the money be applied in sup

The Love of It.

No man can ever attain to the
highest results in any branch of agri
culture unless his heart is in the work
To become a successful breeder Of
imals he must love them, be wills
ling to devote his time ID supply
ing their wants and studying their
habits and requirements. So it is
with trees; they must have food as
well as the OK or the horse, and if
that nourishment is not already a.
bundant in the soil, it must be sup
piled or the trees will starve. There
is something about fruit culture that
no book can ever teach: it is only &C
quired by constant and painstaking
observation in the orchard; a thous-
and little things are to be done or
left undone that only experience can
teach You must love your trees and
care for them as you would for the
wants OF friend. 1on must shield
them from their enemies as you
would guard your own lifo from the
attack of foe. You must study the
beet works on horticulture that you
may know the nature of the disease
and how to apply the remedy. The
same laws Of life govern the vegeta-
bic and the animal worlds; all must
eat and drink or die; all must have
suitable food or they will become
diseased and worthless. When
properly cultivated, an orchard is not
only one Of the most profitable but
beautiful ornaments of the farm

The Civil Rights Bill.

BALTIMORE, March 22.-The case
of Harriet A. Culley, colored, against
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, which has been on trial
four days in the United States Dis
trict Court, before Judge Giles, was
concluded this morning, and under
Instructions from the court the jury
rendered verdict for the defendant.
This action, with seventeen others,
was brought against tho company
under the Civil Rights act of Con-
gress of March 1, 1875, which i'm
poses a penalty of five hundred dol
lars on any person who shall deny
equal accommodations to any citizen,
regardless Of previous condition, in
hotels, theatres and public convey
ances. Tho plaintiff, colored citi-
zen of Maryland, claimed to have
been denied accommodation on the
company's train in June, 1876, and
was compelled, as she alleged, to
occupy a comuartment car which was
inferior, simply because of her race
or color. The company denied this,
and proved that colored persons have
the same rights on all their trains as
whites. The court, however, heard
argument on the constitutionality of
the act under the Fourteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution, and held:
First, That the Slaughter House
cases, Cloth Wallace" had deter
mined that the privileges belonging
to citizens of the United States as
such, were different from the priyi-
Eeges belonging to citizens Of the
State as such, and that only the
former were under Congressional
protection, and that this opinion had
heen subsequently affirmed 10y the
United States Supreme Court. Sec-
Ond, mat the rlght 10 Hdc IN rails
way car for the purposes of local
trave! was not privilege Of citi-
zen of the United States as such, but
was privilege belonging to person
by virtue of his State citizenship, and, ,
therefore, for the denial of such pri-
vilege, the citizen must l. ok for re-
dress to the State tribunals, and that
it was not within the power of Con-
gress 10 inhict penalty for the de-
nial of such a privilege. The act,
therefore, was unconstitutional. This
opinion accords With that of Judge
Emmons, United States Circuit Judge
for the Sixth Circuit, and Judge
Sawyer, of California, and other
Federal Judges.

The "irrepressible' G. P. Leslie, of
Land Commission notoriety now
comes to the front In lettcr of re-
cent date, published in Washington
paper, referring to the offer made to
the President by the Chamberlain
committee that eff tho administration
would recognize Chamberlain as Cow
ernor, they could re organize the Re-
publican party in South Carolina and
win the next election two years
hence," he says. "Reorganizo the
party-with whom? Democrats? No
Democrat of any influence would dare
enter into such o scheme. And tho
full Republican vote was pollcd at
the late election. A careful exami-
nation of this novel proposition thrust
upon the President would disclose the
whole secret Of this committee insist
ing upon the recognition of Chambers
lain. There is only one way the Re-
publicans can carry the next State
election. That is, let the administra-
Lion recognize Chamberlain as Gov
ernor, and begin war at once, and
keep 1t up until the Hampton party
are annihilated; then the Republicans
can, if there be any left, carry the
hext election.

Gordon had an interview with the
President this morning, and again
urged bin to at once withdraw the
troops from the State House at Co.
lumbia. and called his attention to the
decision rendered by Judge Reed at
Charleston yesterday. The Presi
dent, as usual, talked very smoothly,
expressed his earnest desire to pacify
both South Carolina and Louisiana,
but could not be induced to sry more
than that action would be taken as
soon as possible.
If the utterances of the Louisiana
and South Carolina conservatives who
are to be taken for anything, the
commission will, so far as its real
purposes are concerned, prove fail
uro. Mr.. Wheeler and those who
accompany him will undoubtedly be
the recipients of every courtesy and
attention from the people of South
Carolina and Louisiana, but it is
scarcely reasonable to expect that
they will listen With patience to the
scheme uf compromise which will be
laid brt re them. W hen Mr.. Wheel

A CONSCIENTIOUS JURY.-An old
story is we'll retold in a recent issue
of a Southern journal, as follows: "a
jury in Alabama had been enfpan<
eled in a case of a Mr.. johnson,
charged with killing his wife. The
evidence was positive and conclusive.
leaving no doubt of his speedy Con-
viction. To the amazement, of all,
the jury, after a short absence, re-
turned a verdict: Guilty of horse
stealing The judge, astonished,
asked an explanation, stating that the
Indictment was not for horse stealing
but manslaughter. The foreman,
with his hand upon huge law book,
and with an amusingly digniied air;
informed the court that 'it was not q
case of manslaughter, but woman
slaughter, for which the law made
no provision, but being satisfied the
man deserved to be hanged, they
had brought in a verdict of horse
stealing, which, in that country,
would be sure to hang him. '..'"

Sir: [ have the honor to acknowl-

desire for personal conference with

OF which is so obvious and simple;

expected by the people of this State

part of the commander-in-chief OF
