SURPRISE AND coNSTFHll

SUHFhlSE AND CONS1E
New YoRK, August 13,-MucG sd.
prise and some CONSERVATION exists
among the bulls of the stock market
concerning the steady decline of the
market, which has been going on for
the paaS week. About two weeks ago
stocks fell with a thump, but before
the day passed the market had re-
covered itself and all fear was dis
PEELED. The average fear OF depres-
sion at that time on all holders of
stock was nearly 40 per cent. Well
known brokers and bankers aver there
was really no cause for fluctuations,
as affairs throughout the county were
steady and money easy andy plentiful.
This second fuRFyis therefore deemed
as inexpicabae as the first. Tele-
grams have o been D received from
Europe asking the reason of the de-
preston. One well known broker

The New Naval Uniforms.
CHANGES WHICH HAVE REEN APPROVED BY

CHANGES WINCH HAVE REEN APPROVED BY THE
SECRETARY OF THE NAVY.
The revised naval uniform circular has been
signed by secretary Chandler. 1t is now in the
hands of the government printer and will be issued
in few days. 1t will go into effect on the first day
of January, 1884, and by July !, 1884, officers must
have completed all the changes made. The regula-
tonS do not differ materially from those partially
issued last summer. The most important mOdifica-
t1on of those regulations is the retention of the
shoulder straps These devices are considered the
most typlcally american portion of the uniform,
and the proposed aboliShment met with
general dfsapprObatiOn among the officers.
-Four uniforms are prescribed by the new circular:
The first, known as the full dress, remains the
same as that now worn. The full dress coat, here
tofore known as the social coat remains the same,
except that all commissioned officers and naval
cadets are required to have it. The frOck coat is
the same except that 1t Is to button to the throat
The tn service coat or blouse is to be made OF blue
coat is OF blue cloth instead OF white marseflle5.
Ihe overcoat IS smooth-faced blue cloth ulster
VIII belt and hood @ The only devices are those
The corps color OF the medical corps is changed from
blue cloth to dark maroon velvet. The epauettes
ana shoulder knots remain the same except that
all commissioned officers will hereafter wear them
No change is made In the shoulder straps. The
chapeau is TO be little smaller than the one now
the present one. A braid band is substituted for
the ribbed Silk and the whole body is higher, with
the top little smaller than the base. The wiser
slopes from 20 to 30 deg. from the horizontal. The
gold cord is replaced by leather chin strap, COW
cred with gold lace The cap ornaments remain
the same. The helmet replaces straw hats and
white caps It is to be Of cork or other suitable
material, covered with light drab linen duck. The
length OF the sword may be 80 inches. The mittens
are both large and small. The field dress sword
belt is the same for flag Officers For captains and
commanders 1t has seven strips Of gold; lieut.. COM
manders and lieutenants, five straps; heutenants,
junior grades and both grades OF ensign three strips
The leather belt remains the same. Commanding

The Civil Rights Es:ll.
MR.. JUSTICE HARLANS OPINION THAT THE Bill
C0SSTITrTI0EAL.

MR.. JUSTICE HARLAN's OPINION THAT THE BILL Is
CONSTITrrIOEAL-
Mr.. Justice Harlan, OF the United States Supreme
Court, filed with the clerk OF the court Saturday
his opinion dissenting from the recent opinion OF
the court In the civil rights cases Justice Harlan
says The opinion In these cases proceeds seems
to me- upon grounds entirely 100 narrow and artif-
cial. The substance and spirit OF all the recent
amendments OF the Constitution have been Sacri-
feed by a subtle and ingenious verbal criticism.
Constitutional provisions, adopted I'm the interest
OF liberty and for the purpose of securing through
national legislation, II need be. rights inhering in
state OF freedom and belonging to American citi-
ZenShlp, have been so construed as to defeat the
ends the people desired to accomplish. IL is nv
conviction that the court has departed from the
familiar rule requiring, I'm the Interpretation OF
constitutional provisions that full effect be given
to the intent with which they We're adopted"
He then reviews the relations that had existed
between the national government and the 1nStitu-
ton Of slavery as indicated by the provisions OF the
Constitution. the legislation OF Congress- and the
decisions OF the United States Supreme Court He
draws this conclusion: 81 venture with all respect
for the opinion Of Others to insist that the national
legislature may, without tranScendfng the limits
OF the Constitution, do for human liberty and the
fundamental rights OF American citizenship what 1t
did, with the sanction OF this court, for the prOtec
tiOn of slavery and the rights OF the master VI fug
