LONDON, August 2.-There was Sc
rious rioting in the town Of CoaIbridgr,
Lanarkshire, Scotland, Saturday, be-
tween parties ofOrangemen and Catho-
lies, when twenty.six of the partici-
pants were arrested. Two police officers
were dangerously wounded IN quelling

this morning, when a number of Catho-
lies, armed with picks and hammers,
paraded the main street of the town in
search of their religious antagonists anu
resisted the efforts of a force of police
sent to disperse them. The officers, who
were unsuccessful in their attempts to
break up the mob, were subsequently
reinforced by body of mounted police"
men, and the combined forces, after a
sharp fight, charged upon and dispersed
the rioters, twenty of whom we're ar

PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER.

In looking about for an eligible candi
date for nomination for The presidency by
the mex; Democratic National Convention
attention is naturally turned to the "tidal
wave" governors who were borne into office
within year so triumphantly by the swell.
ing floods of democracy. Gov. Cleveland
of New York, has thus obtained quite a
prominent place in the list of democratic
availables. Gov. Pattlsen, of Pennsylvania,
is often mentioned in the same connection
even Ben. Butler, of Mass, is not over
looked; and now Gov. IIoadley, of Ohio,
steps To the fore as eminently worthy OF
consideration.
But-but-iollow democrats, we thought
there was tacit understanding that the
West should have the next democratic can.
didate for the presidency, and so far as the
voice of the press goes an almost anIvcr-
sal expression has gone forth that unless
the "old ticket'-Tilden and Hendricks
is again put in the field, the candidate is
to come from the West, and II is In this
light that the claims of Holman and Nc
Donald, of Indiana, are so strongly urged.
But meantime is not the fact being over
looked that the west also has q tidal. wave
governor who s at least the equal OF Cleve.

THE CIVIL RIGHTS DECISION

The decision of the Supreme Court o
the United States, referred to elsewhere
that the civil rights law of congress, pass
ed in 1875, and the object of which was t.
secure to negroes the same rights anC
attentions in hotels, restaurants, theatres
and on public conveyances as are accorded
to white people, Is really OF less conse
quence to the "man and brother" than a.
| first blush it would seem. In point Of
tact, the law since its passage has been 8
dead letter both because the hotels, restaI
rants, theatres, steamboats, and other pub
lie institutions and conyeyances ignored It,
and because the negroes themselves gener.
ally had too much good sense to abtrude
their presence where they were not wanted
The law itself was misnamed, for instead
of aiming to secure to the negro his civil
rights 1t attempted to give him social
rights, and OF kind and to degree not
even accorded to the whites as q body
Civil rights, as legally defined, are those
which pertain to the right to vote, hold
office, buy and sell real and personal prop
crty, sit on juries, and to engage IN all the
various professional, commercial or me-
chanical pursuits which people are sup
posed to engage IN to make an honest
negroes are as fully recognized and accord.
ed them as they are to the whites. But
social rights are altogether different affairs.
They involve the right Of the negro to be
present at any public ball, to claim the
first seat at any public table, to INSIST If he
pays his money, on occupying the choice
box in the theatre, the best state-room on a
steamboat, or the most eligible berth on q
car, and so on. These are rights
that are not accorded to the whites as a
body. A hotel keeper has no hesitancy in
excluding white man with dirty face
or dirty shirt from the public table, or
steamboat owner in denying the best or
any s,ate.room to a white man Of object
ionabe mien or appearance; or theatres
IN excluding such from the proscenium
boxes or dress circle. Yet such rights, &C
cording to the general understanding, the
civil rights bill proposed to con-
fer upon the negro. The Supreme Court
simply says such Legislation IS not within
the scope of the powers and duties Of con,
gress. If there is power anywhere to pass
such laws, the court says, 1t belongs to the
states, though by the states such legislation,
even If within the range OF their pow
ers, the court more than intimaes would
be of doubtful expediency.

had reason to crticise, has been abandoned

be DESIRED everything is clean, and the in
mates are well cared for. This is true as
well Of the apartments occupied Dy the in
sane as by the sane paupers-a fact which
proves that, with sufficient care, the hlthy
can be kept clean, and that there is no excuse
for neglecting any insane person, whatever
his habits may be. The average number OF
puupers in this establishment is little over
one hundred; when visited there we're IA,
