The Civil Rights Decision.
Text Of the Dissenting Opinion as De
Hvered by Justice Harlan.

Hvered by Justice Harlan.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Justice Harlan.
in the United States Supreme Conrt. in his
dissenting opinion in the civil rights cases.
says The opinion in these cases pro-
eeeds upon grounds entirely too narrow
and artificial. The substance and spirit OF
the recent amendment to the constitution
has been sacrificed by subtle and ingeni-
ous verbal criticism. Constitutional pro.
visions adopted in the interest Of liberty,
and for tho purpose Of securing. through
national Legislation il need bs. rights in
herring in Z state Of freedom and belonging
TO American citizenship, have been so con-
strued a. 70 defeat the ends the people de-
sired to accomplish. which they attempted
- accomplish. and which they supposed
hey had accomplished by changes in theft
fundamental lay. The court has departed
from the familiar rule requiring, in the
intsrpretion Of constitutional provisions,
that full effect be given to the intent with
which they we're adopted. The power
conferred BY tho thirteenth amendment
does not rest upon Implication or infer
snoe, and the power to enforce it by appro-
pirate legislation was expressly granted
Congress, therefore may enact laws to pro.
tsot colorsd people against deprivation on
account Of their race, Of any civil rights
enjoyed by other freemen in the same
State, and such legislation may Be Of . d.
rect and primary character. operating upon
the States. their officers and agents. and
upon those welding power under the
State. National legislatures may, without
trsnscending the limits of the Constitution,
do fer human liberty and the fundamental
rights Of American citizenship what it did,
With the sanction Of the Supreme Court,
for the protection of slavery and the rights
Of the masters of fugitive slaves.
In every material sense this is applicable
to practical enforcement Of the fourteenth
amendment. Railroad corporations, the
keepers Of inns. and managers Of places OF
amusement, are agents Of the State, be-
e.-a- amendable to gublic regulation, and
denial OF thnse in.trumentalities Of the
State to . citizen because of his -aoe q,
that equality Of civil rights secured him
by law, is denial by the State. and the
supreme Law Of the land has decreed that
no authority shall be exercised in this coun
try upon basis Of discrimination in re.
spsct to civil rights against frecmen and
citizens, because Of their race, color. OF
previous condition Of ssrvitade. The a..
sumption that the general government can
not. In advance Of hostile State laws .,
hostile State proceedings. actively interfere
for the protection of any rights. privileges.
and immunitiss, secured BY the fourteenth
amendment. is unauthorized BY its lar
guage."

From the Rutland Herald.
A sister of the writer, who is now
spending the winter in Georgia,
writes him description of the sol-
diers monument at Augusta, which
excited her admiration because of the
dignity and beauty of it's inscription.
1t is an obelisk, eighty feet high,
surmounted by the statue of a SOL
der, and on each corner pedestal
there is statue of a general-Lee,
jackson, Walker, and Cobb. On one
side is the inscription, Erected in
1878 by the Ladies Memorial Asso-
citation of Augusta in honor of men
of Richmond County who died in the
cause of the Confederate States" on
another side, "Worthy to have lived
and known our gratitude; worthy to
be hallowed and held in tender re-
membrance; worthy the fadeless
honor which Confederate soldiers
won;gave themselves in life and death
for us--for the honor OF Georgia, for
the rights of the States, for the liber
ties of the people, for the sentiments
OF the South, for the principles of
the Union, rs these were handed
down to them by tho fathers of our
common country" On another side;
"No nation rose 80 white and fair
None fell SO pure OF crime"

Hamilton tor Senator.

Col. j. S. Hamilton, of this place, is
no relation to tho great Federalist, nor
does he believe in the kind of govern
mont advocated by that Statesman in
the long ago. He is a plain, practical,
energetic, wide awake citizen, who has
given N IRE of his time to developing the
resources of Mississippi than 10 politics.
But he is posted on all questions OF the
day, and knows as much of tue laws of
the State as the best Judge in it. Not
only that, but nature has endowed him
with brains sufficient to answer any and
all emergencies. He, as well Ms any
man, knows the needs of the people.
This he has demonstrated often. he is
success ut anything he undertakes.
He believes in the old adnge that what
ever is worth do ng should be well dono.
Hence his success But we started ont
to say that he had been suggested Tor
State Senator. He is qualified for that
or any office, and if he will accept it, the
district would have grent difficulty in
finding Il bettr man. 1t would be II
graceful thing if the people should elect
him whether he consents to serve or not.
His friends are canvassing the mater
aud seem deeply in earnest .-Jach5on

superintendent.
''For killing my old man."
"When?'
"Niue years ago yesterday"
"Where?'
"About fourteen miles from Macon. "
Ard so it proved. When the circum,
stances were hunted ont it was found
that she WAS the wife of dead man who
had been killed while walking on the
track, and no one hid been able to
identify him.
"Why didn't you come here sooner?'
he asked.
"Just heard Of it the other day." she
replied. II supposed the old man was
parading around somewhere, and would
come ZONE when his knees wanted new
patches"
"And what damage do you ask?'
"W'ell it was long lime ago, and my
grief has been soitened up good deal,

Atlanta will be about right"
settlement was made on the spot, and

What is the right of the ballot to
woman com pared with her privilege of
enjoying health and happiness in the
charmed circle of her social and domes-
tic relations? Among the many discovo-
res tending to promote the happiness
and advancement of the human race,
nothing is so intimately connected with
the health aud happiness Of women-the
centre and source of our highest earthly
enioynents--as The discovery OF rene
DIV which meets her peculiar wants, and
fits her for the enjoyment of life, and for
ministering TO the happiness of those
with whom she is associated in the tender
relations of sister, wife and mother. This
remedy is found III DR.. j. Bradfeld's
