SWIVEL
RIGHTS,

It is. funny TO study the childish
attempts of the average democratic
editor to make political capital out
of the recent supreme court decision
declaring INVALID as to states the
that part of the so-called civil rights
act which prohibited discrimination
on account of color i'll public places.
They don't jump in and howl for
civil rights at all, nor do they go
back and damn the republican con
gress which enacted the bill. The
colored voter is the fish they are
seining for, while the average bour-
bon is watching with jealous eye to
detect some DETECTION from the true
democratic principle of "damn-a-
nigger-anyway."
Hence the requirement OF ex-
treme caution In handling so deli-
cate a subject, aud the plan adopted
is to appeal to the colored brothers
angry passions by pointing him to
what a republican supreme court has
done in declaring unconstitutioal the
most ridiculous congressional meas
ure on the statute books of the
union.
1t strikes us that the man and
brother aforesaid will see through
both the democratic editor and their
articles, and it will possibly occur
to him that the attempts to legislate
in his favor is the thing for him to
look too and not the action OF a
high tribunal acting as judges OF
the supreme law of the land, as the
test of friendship.

He Denies.

Rev. Lawson Green. who recently
figured as a principal in a Cooke
County seduction cases as reported
by the Newport Sentinel, defends
himself in a long article in the Eliza
bethton Mountaineer, from which
we extract the following:
Now that he (the editor of the
SentineD is perfectly honest we
have no doubt, but that he misrep-
resented things lam fully able and
shall prove to the satisfaction of all
who wish to know the truth about
that, of which, lam accused. That
the girl swore against me | do not
deny, but she was made to swear
against me by her relatives in hope
of gain. Through malice they did
it after threatening to whip and to
drive away the girl with hey child,
Why they could do this, | am not
able to say, when they were two
fold more the objects of disgrace
and shame than she hersalf. for they
had marked out the,road in which
the girl was travelling. -
I went to Little Pine creek and
commenced a meeting and it was
NOT until after l had left home that
there was any warrant issued by
any one for me. I continued my
meeting for several days to a good
effect. and after many believed ON
the name of Jesus and confessed
him openly | returned home, WITHIN
q mile of the girls home, and being
sick remained there oyer two weeks
without being molestsd. That does
not look like lodging much.

As a straw to show that the
Democracy does not feel as conf
dsnt of it's strength as it pretends
to, we notice that our democratic
exchanges are discouraging the
proposition to claim the second
place on the ticket for O southern
man. The modesty of these peo>
pie is astonishing. The tail can
still wag the dog-as long rs the
latter fears the temper of the
yanks. {

At the request Of the President

Commission called al the White
House this afternoon and had a long
interview with him. The object Of
the conference is not known, and
the Commissioners are ieticent as
to what t%ranspired
Mr.. Dorman b. Eaton, president
of the Commission, said this evening
that the rumors that the Commls-
sion was about to submit rules for
competitive examinations for pro-
motion were without foundation,
snd he added that. in hls opinion. it
would much to be regretted if, while
the new system was in its immature
stages, a restless anxiety to enter
upon the difficult subject of promo.
lions should divert any measure of
the attention Of the Commission
which is needed to make the first trial
of the new system effective.

SPOILS POLITICS.

Had there been none other than
purely political questions at issue
in Ohio we doubt that either party
would have polled a third of its
%strength, for the reason that there
are no genuine political issues be-
!; fore the people to bring them out
y AS we see the matter all present
struggles between the parties are
mere contests for spoils, and the
vote must be brought out by some
outside or fictitious issue. In
Massachusetts Ben Butler displays
a piece of tanned human hide to
arouse the people while the repub-
licans hold up B1tler himself to
enrage the masses of the party.
In Virginia Malone has to rely
upon the past record of his party
in lettering the condition of
schools and taxes, while the dem
ocrats have r~esurrected the race
issue amongithe whites and spur
the desire for office and straight
line republicanism among the col
ored people. New York and New
Jersey seem to be coDservatively
quiet and the vote in both states
will probably be lighter than for
many years.
Reviewing the past three years
we can find but few really nation.
nj questions that amount to the
dignity of issues. The measure
for the regulation of Interstate
traffic seems 20 have dropped COM
pletely out of sight and legisla-
ton. The parties either feared to
touch it or their leaders found cit
profitable to drop it. National APP
Dropriations for schools on the
basis of ilIiteracy, while it has some
able and earnest advocates, seems
to drag as if either summed or
passed in ~careIessness by b leg
islatros of the day. 1t preseHts
a noble outlet for some of the over
plus of coin now damned mp in
the Treasury, but we don't think
the overflow will start in that di>
fection soon, largely because Ills
inois wont get as much in pro-
portion to her population as would
Tennessee or Mississippi.
Within a few months past an
old scheme has been revived
whose object is to get the Federal
treasury emptied. A prominent
republican of Pennsylvania se>
cured a platform endorsement of
a plan for the distribution of the
surplus funds among the States
whereupon Virginia called the at
fention of the Secretary OF the
Treasury to the fact that the old
Deposit Act had never been an,
nuIed and demanded about a hall
million dollars as her share OF the
fund on hand.
We have no idea that this meas
nrs will ever become a strong one.
The people believe that the money
lis much safer where it is than II
scattered about in the hands OF
dhirty-eigbt state ~treasurers, and
that it would reach the people
srIuicker by ordinary congressional
appropriations than by distrlDu>
.fon among the States. If it is re-
SLY desirable to get rid of this
..eI,rpIus revenue, and the people
4, re to be consulted, they will say
unanimously to apply 1t
stantly to the reduction of the
bic debt Statesmen may howl
long and as loud as they please
out the danger to the banking
stem and the general undesira-
lily of rapid reduction, but it
<rikes the mind of the people as

Death on the Rail.


Sunday morning as the train
from Louisville was nearing Pow
ell's the engineer discovered the
body of a colored man on thetrack.
The train was stopped, and it was
ascertained That the man had been
run over by some train Saturday
night, as parts of the body we're
scattered along the track.
A jury of inquest found his
name-to be John King, and rem
dered a verdict that he was killed
by a passing train.
His home is not known, but it is
thought that he might have been a
road employe, and haying got on a
big drunk, laid down on 1.-THE track,
