THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.
Gov. Butler Tells slow the Bill Was
Passed.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 22.-Gov Butler, in
an interview with reporter regarding
newspaper assertion that he had said the
civil rights bill was not drawn by him, but
by Mr. Shellabarger, makes the following
statement:
l did not say that Shellabarger drew the
civil rights bill. He drew the force bill I
did not draw this civil rights bill. If you
viii look into The Congressional Record for
February, 1875, from the 1st to the 18th, you
will find this to be the history of the bill:
The senate had passed this bill as reported by
the senate judiciary committee. 1t came over
to the house and laid on the speakers
table with large number of bills on top of
it. Of course it could not be got at without
getting rid of all those bills first except by
two-thirds vote, which we couldn't get 1t the
house passed its judiciary committees bill,
then the senate would probably not pass that
without some amendments, and then it could
not be carried through the house, because it
was not passed after all until the LIST of March,
1875, and congress adjourned the 3d. There
fore, / was instructed by the judiciary COM
mittee of the house to report civil rights
bill, which did. I was also instructed at
the same time to yield to an amendment to
nv bill by the substitution Of the senate bill,
which did, and that senate bill was passed
by the house as my bill amended, and then
this substitute bill was sent over to the senate
anc: that body passed it.
In the same interview his excellency denied
the authenticity of the story that he had
sail uncomplimentary things about Gov.
Cleveland of New York and ov.-elect
Albeit of New Jersey, and added that he had
written to those gentlemen pronouncing the
story a fabrication.

PRETTY MRS. MACER.
Story of a Trustftll Woman Who
Loved Not Wisely,
But Turned Over Her Affections aud
:. Her Money to q Bad Citizen---
Murdered by Burglar-.-
/ Other Sins.

CHICAGO, Nov. GA young man wearing
q checkered overcast flashy suit Of clothes
and a white plug hat stood before Justice
Foote. He was charged with obtaining
money under false pretenses. A handsome
little woman dressed in black gave her evil
dence. She had just arrived from New York.
The justice held the prisoner to the criminal
court in bonds of 81, 900.
The case revealed curious story. The
name of the prisoner was j. Henry Melville,
and he claimed to be the manager of the
New York Ideal Comedy company-''now on
the road, he remarked, with a professional
air. The woman in black was Mrs Alice
Macer, of New York city. Last summer she
became acquainted with Melville in New
York Her husband is confined in lunatic
asylum, and she controlled considerable
property and ready cash. The acquaintance
with Melville soon ripened into love, real on
her part and feigned on his To his credit as
an actor, he successfully hoodwinked the
fair one, and it was agreed that they should
fly and marry.
He proposed going to Chicago, where, he
said, divorce from an insane husband could
easily be obtained. Mrs. Macer gave him $500
and he came to this city. But here he fell in
with another woman and went to live with
her at a city hotel. In letters written to Mrs.
Macer he represented that he was just about
buying store, and received $40 more with
the understanding that it was to be invested.
1t was, but not in store, the money being
lavished on his new paramount.
Mrs. Macer at last became suspicious, and
started for Chicago. She arrived, with the
result as detailed above To add another
complication to the case it is said that the
husband has been released from the insane
asylum, and is now hunting for his wife. 1t
is not known whether he is permanently
cured or not. In the meantime Mrs Macer is
following Melville, and the semi-maniac hus-
band may be expected on the track of bothin
