WHAT TIE OHIO ELECTION
Nashville American

The facts connected with, rs wei
as the result of, the election in Ohio
strongly point to the dissolution o
the Republican party. a significant
circumstance Is that stated by both
Foster and Foraker-that, through
the whole canvass, the Executive
committee was without money. The
insignificant sum of $4,000 was all
that could be raised, and it is said
that 4 considerable part of this was
paid by Foraker himself. Appeals
were made in New York and else
where i'm the East, but no help came,
and the begging letters of the COM
mittec were not answered.
This plainly indicates that the Re
publican leaders no longer have suf-
ticient interest in the party to spend
money for its success, and have lost
confidence in it as political organ
izatiOn
No intelligent man of either party
will deny the Importance of the Ohio
election. In every section of the
Country it was regarded as the cru
cial test OF party strength; the result
would impart or destroy confidence.
The State is central and of vast i'm
pOrtance in the Presidential contest.
Its capture by the Democrats must
have its effect on the State to follow
next month.
Heretofore the State which was
to indicate which way the wind was
blowing was literally ''set up with
of highs by the political managers.
Indiana was the pivotal State be-
fore Garfield's election and it has
been stated by Dorsey, who handled
what Mr.. Arthur so facetiously
termed the "soap," that the Repub-
icans spent 100000 in that State
election. They paid that vast sum
for the effect of victory in a doubt
tul State, at the right time Just be-
fore the election. Now what could
have been more important TO the
Republican party than the Ohio
election? 1t was the first of the
State elections, whore there was a
hot contest. The election was for
Governor and Legislature, and the
United States Senatorship depended
upon the result; yet the entire Re
publican party, at home and abroad,
would pay only $4,000 to aid in the
contest
The battle was fought and lost by
the Republicans, and we predict
that the party will not rally. Moth
ing can now save it, unless IL be
some such foolish crusade as that
started by the Louisville Courier
Journal and its noisy crowd of NAL
contents, who seem to be moving
heaven and earth to incite dissen-
siOns among the Democracy on the
tariff question. This, too, when it
is admitted on all hands that, with
the control Of only one house of
Congress, 49, Republican President
against us, and the Presidential
election but n yeat off, to reopen the
tariff agitation would be the great
est OF all blunders that could be
committed by a party having vic
tory already within its grasp.

MEXICAN WAR SOLDIERS.

The survivors Of the Mexican war
resident in Washington are max
ing active preparations to give their
visiting comrades a rousing recep-
ton on the occasion of the national
reunion in that city, which is set for
Dec. q. Z. and s. There are only
about 6 900 survivors of that war
left. and the local committee eX-
pect that between 800 and ! 900 ofthe
number will lie there ut the reunion.
These men, TO whose valOr the
United States Is indebted for the
ACQUISITION Of vast territory, en-
bracing New Mexico, Colorado, Ari-
iona, Utah and California, will II rs
understood, make an appeal to Con
gress for recognition more common
surate to the value of services rem
dered than has yet been accorded to
them. Public spirited citizens who
have been approached by the com
mittees Of the local association have
responded literally, and there will be
no lack Ofmeans for entertaining the
visitors. II Is understood that a
meeting OF interested citizens will
be held at an early day tOperfect ar
engagements and select a subcommit-
tee To act Jointly with the committee
of the local society of veterans.

This preparation, which has been known as

CIVIL RIGHTS
The SUPREME COURT OF THE U. STATES
DECLARES THE FIRST AND SEC
oND ACTS or TIE CIVIL
RIGHTS BILL UNCON-


oND ACTS or TIE CIVIL
RIGHTS BILL UNCoN-
sTITUTIoNAL.
A Washington press dispatch Of the
18th says thar decision was rendered
lar day By the Supreme Court If tho
United States in five civil rights cases,
based on the first aud second sections
OF the civil rights act OF March ], 1879.
They were respectively prosecutions
under the act for not admitting certain
cOlorcd persons accommodations and
privileges in inns or hotels, in railroad
cars aud in theatres. The Court held
that Congress had 10 constit nj NAL
authority 10 pass the section in Ques-
lion, under either the 18Th or l4.h
amendment Of the Constitution. The
decision, however, is held 10 apply on
ly to the validity of the law in States,
aud not in Territories or tie District
Of Columbia, where the l. gi> a'ive
power Of C"ngr, - j. uulImited. s.
far as States are concern,d, tie Nv
sections Of tie law above eferred Ia
are decl red unconsti. ~ local aud void.
Justice Bradley rendered thu opinion,
Justice Harlan dissenting.
A late Washington dispatch says that
thousands of the most prominent color
ed men Of the District have b en- inter-
viewed and have given their opinions as
to the moral effect Of The decision.
Naturally tn" majority III m express
regret a at the Supreme Court has rem
dered such decision and are inclined
to regard it as an obstacle TO the pro-
gress of the colored race. Mr.. Bruce,
ex-senator from Mississippi and present
Register Of the Treasury, declares it a
most unfortunate decision and one that
will carry the country backward fif-
teen years at least;' also that it does
not reflect the sentiment of the people
of the United States and is a revival of
the theory of State rights. Fred Doug
lass says that the decision puts the col
ored people again outside of the law and
places them, when on a steamboat or
railroad or in a theatre, restaurant or
other public place, at the mercy of any
white Tuflian who may choose to insult
them. l.. of, ssOr Greener says that in
view OF this decision every colored man
with any self-respect must continue to
demand the fullest protection of the
law, both as a man and as an American
citizen, and that he does not think the
civiliz alton of the age can be turned
back, even by the Supreme Court OF the
United States. At conference Of col
cred people of the District it was decid-
ed to hold a meeting in the early future
to express the sentiment of the co'ored
race with respect to the decision and to
consider what course to pursue in view
of that decision. Among those who are
10 address the meeting are several prom
inent white liwg ers and clergymen and
such colOred speakers as Fred Douglass
and PROBES or Gregory.

In saloon on The Bowery, New
York, kept by one Shang Draper, him
self burglar and his place a thieves
resort, bloody fight occurred about
O'Clock on tie morning of the 10Th.
John Walsh, burglar, killed John Irv-
ing, burglar, aud Billy Porter, burg
lar, thereupou killed John Walsh. The
deal men were famous criminals, and
Porter is not less notorious. The po-
lice have got Porter aud are much de-
Lighted. The affair caused general re-
joicing in police circles. Other thieves
and stragglers who were in the saloon
at the time of the shooting were arrest
ed. The men were bo' h drunk and had
quarreled over some of their business
affairs until each at the same moment
drew revolver and fired, and each fell
dead without drawing second breath.
Irving was shot through the brain and
Walch through the heart. The only re-
greet among those who know the parties,
seems TO be that Porter ;and others of
the companions of the dead men did
not Initiate their example. The two
dead meu have been among the boldest
criminals ia New York for many years,
and have caused the courts and public
endless trouble.
