Text Of Justice Bradley's Decision.

In the "Grant parish case," Justice
Bradley decided as follows, and
which decision was sustained by a
fall bench of the Supreme Court of
the United States.
That Congress has the right to pass
laws to carry out the provisions of
the 18th, l4th and 18th amendments
no one will deny. The question is,
how far this right extends.
The 18th Amendment declares that
no person in the United States shall
be disqualified from voting on &C.
count of race, color or previous con-
dition. The United States is given
no power to pass laws relative to
elections or voting, but simply to see
that the States do not interfere with
these rights. The United States has
only the power to see these rights en-
forced. The moment the State fails
to comply with the duties enforced
upon it, the United States is called on
to interfere; and the interference of
Congress, when the State is ready to
punish violations Of these rights, is
unnecessary, injudicious and illegal.
To constitute an offense Of which
the United States has jurisdiction, it
must be shown that conspiracy was
formed to take away certain rights
from person on account of bis race,
color or previous condition.
e The 18th Amendment declares that

On this point Justice Bradley said
Does this amount to an affirmative

terfere with the rights of peaceable
assemblagesi Clearly not.
These are the main points with
which we have to contend, and We

When corrupt men cease to foment
the ignorant and vicious to acts Of
lawlessness, "outrages' in the South
will be at an end. When Southern
manhood recognizes 10 his political
opponent an adversary appealing to

Der bent on spoliatiop, the Bull-dozer
will be at a discount, and the White
League will disband.
Troops under Grant aggravated the
disease; Marshals under Hayes will
irritate the patient to renewed disor-
der. The mode of discarding both
treatments is for the enlightened
public sentiment of the South to de
nounce the cause, and mantully resist
the attempt to punish effect, without
removing that cause.

Hayes has. talked of bis Southern
policy as If it deserved especial co,a.
mendation. 1t has been, from the
very beginning nothing but = dis
gushing reward of the scoundrels who
stole States, and put the fraud in Of
Zee. The Southern policy of Hayes
in this State was Wells, Anderson,
Smith, and every other Radical thief
in official position, to the utter dis,
gust of decent people.

Congress and the Pacific Roads.

The Union Pacific and Central Pacific
railroads are now asking that whatever
legislation may be enacted by the present
congress with regard to them shall be
made final and irrepealable. They say
they are kept in state of incessant un-
certainty by the constant propositions
offered in congress to alter or annul their
charter; Senator Blaine in their behalf
stated 10 the debate of Tuesday that for
tie fifteen years he had been in congress
the Pacific roads had been before that
body in one form or another; and he
thought it would be better to say once for
all exactly what is required of the roads
and then let them rest,
This sounds plausible, but it is not good
advice. As Senator Thurman showed, il
is the roads themselves, not their opponents
that are always before congress asking fol
legislation. During the war they procured
all the amendments to their charter they
asked for, because they had their repre-
sentatives in that body as we'll as in The
lobby, and used money and stock freely Il
buy votes with, 1t is desirable that con
gress shall always possess the power Il
reopen the question and amend the charte
of the roads. TIE Union Pacific has ha
bitually disregarded its charter, and it i
always ready to take advantage of defect
in the law. If the Union Pacific and tn
Central Pacific had faithfully observes
their charter and voluntarily established
sinking fund for paying the United State
bonds issued to them, the present legisla
ton would not have been called for. Th
object of it is to compel them to perform
duty they are seeking to evade-and cor
gress ought to retain its authority owe
them till the last dollar of their debt ha
been paid.-&. LOUIS Rep.

From the telegraph reports, it appears
that the probability of a war between
England and Russia is exciting unusual
attention at the present time at
our national seat Of government. and
several senators have of late discussed
among themselves the propriety of pre-
pairing joint resolution which should ex
press deep regret on the part of the peo
pie of the United States at the prospect
Of serious misunderstanding and inteI-
ruption of peaceful relations bet Teen the
people of Great Britain and Russia, and
Instruct and request the president to use
all means, as far as he can consistently
with his constitutional duty, to aid in re-
storing relations of amity and confidence
between the two governments and people;
to one OF whom we are bound by a common
ancestry aud language and similar institu
tlons, while with the other we havet the ties
Of an ancient and unbroken friendship.
The purpose of those senators who think
1t might be wise to bring forward such a
resolution is not, of course, that this gov
ernment should interfere, either as an
active party or as mediator in the
European troubles. They wish simply to
throw the moral weight of America openly
to the side of the peace Of the world. They
say that while it has been the sound policy
OF our government TO avoid all of what
Washington called e1tangling foreign
alliances, 1t was never intended that our
position should be one of isolation, or that
the peace OF the world should be threatened
or broken up,and the interests Of ocean and
general commerce injured without refer
ence to American interests or wishes. We
have, they say, commercial treaties with
European nations, American diplomacy
has changed the relations of ocean com
merce and international law. on the high
seas as much as any other nation, and 8
general European war such as many care.
iui observers here believe to be Imminent
could not help but affect very seriously
and perhaps in way totally unexpected al
present, many of our most important in
terests. 1t is proposed to discuss the pro
prieiy or usefulness of such joint resolution
as above mentioned with Secretary Eyart,
before it is drawn up or offered.
Upon this subject the New York Herald
has a few pertinent and timely remarks
1t says:
We trust congress Twill fall into no sucl
fussy folly as is family foreshadowed in ON,
of our Washington dispatches. What ha
our government to do with the quarrel he
tween England and Russia Nothin
which it might do or offer would have Nh
weight of feather in averting war. Th
only duty Of our government is 10 maintai

II, as Is probable, they should resort
