UNCoNsTITUTIoNALITY OF THE CIVIL
RIGHTS BILL.-Judge Giles, of the United
States District Court, at Baltimore, decided
last week that the Civil Rights Act is uncon.
situtlonal. Harriet A. Gully, brought suit
against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, under the Civil Rights act of Con.
gress, which imposes penalty of $500 on
any person who should deny equal accom-
modations to any citizen, regardless of pre-
yous condition, in hotels, theatres, and public
conveyances. The plaintiff, colored citizen
OF Maryland, claimed to have been denied
accommodation on the companys train in
June, 1876, and was compelled, as she alleg-
ed, to occupy compartment 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
trains rs whites. The court re affirmed the
decision that only the privileges of citizens
of the United States, as such, were under
Congressional projection that the right TO
ride in railway car for purposes of local
travel was not privilege of citizen 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 privilege the citizen must look for re.
dress to tie State tribunals
That it is not within the power of Con-
gress to inflict penalty for the denial of such
privilege. The act therefore was unct n
stitutonal.
This opinion accords with that of judge
E nmons, United States Circuit Judge for the
Sixth Circuit, ofJudge Sawyer, of California,
and other Federal Judges.

THE LIQUOR LICENSE LAW SUSTAINED
On Friday last Judge Waters filed his de-
cision dismissing the petition for n writ of
mandamus to compel the Clerk of the Cir
cult Court to refund to George Stephenson
the additional amount paid by him for a IL
cense to sell liquor, as imposed by the act of
1876, which amount the law requires the Clerk
to pay to the County Commissioners for the
use of the county. Judge Waters says:
at is evident that the Act of 1876, Chap.
ter BOZ, referred to in these proceedings, is
an exercise of the police power of the State,
and that the provisions of Section of said
Act were not inserted SIMPLY with view to
realize revenue
1t is too late now TO contend that such
laws must of necessity apply equally TO every
portion of the State. The Legislature has
power to prohibit the sale of sprituous or
iermcnted liquors an any part Of tie State
Fell VS.. State, 42d Nd SO.
"The power to prohibit cl arly includes
the power to Impose any restraints short of
prohibition.
Having thus determined that the petit
TONER has suffered nothing illegal and un-
constitutional, and in contravention of his
rights as citizen of the State OF Maryland
it is unnecessary to examine the other point
raised by the answer of the respondent, viz,
whether the petitioner has sought to avail
himself of the proper remedy.
" 1t is thereupon this 18th day of March,
1877, ordered that the writ of mandamus as
prayed for, is refused, and the said PEI ition
is dismissed, with costs in favor of respond
ent.
JAS. ID. WATERS"
The case was argued by Henry w. Archer
and VIM Young, Esqs., for the petitioner,
and Henry d. Farnandis and George Y.
Maynader, Esqs., for the Clerk. Tie case
will probably be sent to the Court of APP
peals for final adjudication.

-Hayes's new policy of delay will likely
prove fatal to business prospects this spring,
both i'll South Carolina and Louisiana. Com
mission merchants refuse to make advances
to the planters, who should now be actively
