AMONG the many different opinions
and comments on the decision of the
United States Supreme Court against
the constitutionality of the Civil Rights
Law, those of the Philadelphia Times,
given below, are among the best, most
sensible and most dispassiOnate:
The decision of the Supreme Court
Of the United States which was render
ed yesterday declaring the first and sec
oDd sections of the civil rights bill un.
constitutional will prove a surprise to
many and will doubtless be regarded by
the colored people as severe blow to
their hopes Of rapid advancement.
The decision was rendered upon five
different cases brought up from the
District Courts of California, Kansas,
Tennessee, Missouri and New York
and involved the right of cOlOred per-
sons to equal recommendations with
white pei sons in hotels, ladies' cars on
railway trains and the parquet and
family circle in theatres. The Court
decides that the legislation was not JUS
Titled by the fourteenth amendment,
which was only intended to restrain
the States from unfriendly legislation
on the subject, but did not authOriz e
Congress to legiSlate upon directly. In
other words, the complainants must seek
their remedy in the State Courts and
not in the United States Courts.
While the colored people will undOubt-
edly feel that the decision is unfriend-
ly TO them IN the highest degree, the
fact that the Court is almost entirely
composed of Republicans and that rut
one Judge dissented from the opinion
must be accepted by the col0red people
as conclusive evidence that the dGci-
sion was not instigated by prejudice a.
gainst their race. Coming at this late
day, when thepower of the colored people
is being more fully recognized and their
votes courted by all political parties in
the South, the decision will have really
much less effect for evil upon their pros
poets than if rendered several years a.
go. That the race prejudice will act to
their annoyance and detriment to q
certain extent under the terms Of this
decision is not to be doubted, but the
increasing intelligence and self-respect
which results from education ard the
accumulation of wealth will gradually
wear out the unjust restrictions laid
upon them by the sel[ishness and pre-
judice of their white fellOw-citizens.

Deceiving Voters.

An act of assembly approved June
l3, 1883. provides that any person who
"shall furnish or supply to any elector
''of this commonwealth, at any of the
''polls or voting places any ticket false
ely representing it to contain names
mot thereon shall pay a fine not to
exceed one hundred dollars, or under
ego imprisonment not to exceed one
''year, or both or either at the discretion
"of the court"
This law is intended to put stop to
the exceptions practiced on ignorant or
unWary voters. 1t is a measure that
will operate for good if it is properly
enforced. The ''best workers in the
ward'' will please take notice. Those
who trust the preparation of their tick
cts to others should understand that if
any fraud Is practiced lpon them there
is now a remedy at law for the wrong.

certain colored persons to equal accom-
modations aud privileges in inns or ho'
tells, in railroad cars and in theatres.
The Court holds that Congress had no
constitutional authority TO pass the
sections in question under either the
thirteenth or fourteenth amendment of
the Constitution. The decision. how
ever, is held to apply only to the validi-
ty of the law in the States and not in
the Territories or the District of CO.
lumbia, where the legislative power Of
Congress is unlimited. so far as the
States are concerned the two sections
of the law above referred to are declar-
ed unconstitutional and void. Justice
Bradley rendered the opinion, Justice
Harlan dissenting.

Randall Invaluable to the Democ-


handall 1nValuaDle TO the OemOc-
racy.
From the Nashville American, Dem.
At this time Mr.. Randall is simply
invaluable to the Democracy. He pos
sesses qualifications which are comOln-
ed in no other prominent leader. As
Il Speaker he has never had q superior
and his official record is as free from
blemish as his private character. Bold
and fearless as a leader on the floor, he
is strictly impartial as a presiding Off
Ger. His knowledge OF parliamentary
law and his promptneSS of decision
have challenged the Arbitration Of
friend and foe. The Democratic party
cannot afford to have him thrust aside
to make place for less efficient man.
Now more than ever do they ueed in
the Speakers chair his great brain, his
wide experience, his ready tact, his
firmness of purpose and his courage to
do that which is right, regardless of
the clamOrs of the lobby or the abuses
of partisan extremists.

sectarianism.

1t does seem strange that professed
Masons will ever dream Of introducing
in connection with Freemasonry, some
of the peculiar tenets Of the church to
which they happen to be members, and
Of opposing with might and main all
efforts to purify the ritual from sectar-
ian illusions and interpretations. If
there is anything that distinguishes
Freemasonry from every other institu-
ton on the earth--if there is any one
thing more strongly or forcibly inculca-
ted in its teachings than another-it is
than with the religious and political
opinions Of its disciples, Freemasonary
has nothing to do. They are left to the
particular bias Of its membership; but
within the body of the Lodge such sub
iects are excluded So zee were taught,
and every other Mason at his initiation,
If he were properly instructed. Let US
have one place at least, as Masonry
promises, sacred, where as men, as
Masons, as living souls striving to gain
the same end, we can meet with the as.
s,lrance that no church dogma, no creed
except that Of doing good, can ever dis
turb the fraternal quiet of our peaceful

PHILADELPHIA, January Harry
Smith, lad of twelve years, who had
been cash boy at Wanamaker's Grand
Depot, died on Saturday evening in a
terrible paroxysm of hydrophobia at his
parents residence He was taken sick
on Thursday. On Friday the disease
developed rapidly, and the victim went
into spasms. His mouth and throat be-
came parched, and although he would
complain of thirst the sight of water
would cause slight fits, and finally he re-
fused to drink anything. The spasms
increased in violence every hour. and a
physician was sent for. The doctor did
not at first suspect that his patient was
suffering with hydrophObia. The parch-
ed condition of the throat, however, led
| the physician to ask for glass of water,
which he directed the sufferer to drink,
in order to test the condition of the bron-
chial organs. The sight of the water
caused the patient to tremble, and when
it was put to his lips produced violent
and alarming spasm, lasting for n con-
siderable time, and causing the doctor to
suspect the real nature of the disease
DIR. John Agnew was summoned, and a
consultation was held. 1t was learned
that three weeks ago young Smith had
been bitten on the hand by small black
and-tan dog belonging to lady custo-
mer. The dog was perched upon one of
the revolving seats provided for shop
pers, and snapped at and bit the lad as
he was passing along the aisle. The
wound was very slight and no great at
tention was paid to it at the time, a
druggist to whom he applied for rene
dies remarking that it was only scratch
and would heal in few hours. Appar-
emily the dog was not mad, and was
taken home by its mistress. As soon as
the facts were divulged to them the ply

"There will be no thinking it over,

made out a receipt in full and took the
money.
At the end Of the week he was asked
to return the loan, but laughed at the
absurdity of the request. Suit was
begun to recover it, the mutual friend
used as a witness, and the plaintiff re.
ceived Judgment in his favor, and had q
