did not draw this rights bill. If you
will 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 a
two-thirds vote, which we couldn't get. If
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. be-
cause it was not passed after all until the 1st
of March, 1875, and Congress adjourned on

Supreme Court Decision.

Views of Senator Sherman on the Recent
Supreme Court Decision.
Washington Interview.
II am greatly surprised and disappointed
with the decision. participated in debating
and passing all the amendments and the civil
rights bill. 1t seems to me the decision
emasculates the amendments. They were
intended not only to abolish slavery, but to
secure to all citizens equality of rights and
privileges We knew that the States would
not secure or permit equal rights to colored
people, and therefore gave full and plenary
powers to Congress to secure to all citizens
the common and usual rights, which are
yielded as matter of course to other citi-
zens. l have not had the opportunity yet to
read the decision in full, but it is
conceded that it denies to Congress
the power to secure the colored people the
common facilities OF the highway, the inns
the ferries and places of public amusement.
l know this to be in express opposition to
the avowed intention and object of these
amendments, and that it is wrong, plainly
wrong in principle and policy, to deny to
any class of cItizens equality of rights in
such essential matters. [ don't believe we
erred in the use of proper language to ex-
press our meaning. II we did, it was grave
fault.
'"Fhese amendments in favor of liberty and
equal rights ought to be fairly and literally
construed and not perverted or evaded by
criminal statute. In spite of this decision I
am in favor of trying again and again, both
by State and national law, to secure to every
citizen, black or white, native or naturalized,
every right, privilege or exemption which
by law or custom is conceded to the most
numerous class of the citizens of the State in
which he lives. The minority should have
the same or equal rights with the majority
the poor with the rich, the black with the
white
birth, fortune, education, luck make
enough distinction and difference between
citizens to threaten us with discomfort, COM
munism, jealousy and envy These inequal-
tiles we cannot prevent, nor can we prevent
social likes and dislikes, or the habits, prefer
ences or customs of individuals. These are
social resting with each Individual.
But inequality made by law is tyranny
and should be resisted by constant opposi-
ton and agitation. l. therefore, for one, will
not acquiesce in respect for it and for the
members of it. 1t undermines the founda-
tion-stone of republican principles. The
Republican party could not endure for day
but for the fidelity with which it has strug-
gled for the equality of civil rights for all
citizens and against the intolerances and
prejudices of color or caste"

AN EPIC IN TERRA GOTTA.

Description OF the FrieEo to be Carried
Around tho New Pension OHico Build
Ing.
The new pension Office is having frieze of
terra Gotta sculpture carried around its en-
tire perimeter at the level of the second story.
The first twenty-five feet were put o n yester-
day, The design of the sculpture is to illustrate
different incidents in the soldiers life during
'war, and is very appropriate for building
devoted to relieving tho misfortunes
caused by hostilities. The navy's part in the
operations out of which the pension system
has grown will be indicated by boats rowed
by sailors and taking their appropriate place
in this long procession.
The building being 400 feet long by 200 feet
wide, its perimeter will be 1900 feet, and
that is the length of the frieze.
The subjects selected were indicated to Mr.
G. Buberl, tho sculptor of the colossal figures
on the north entrance of tho national museum
in this city, and tho author also of tho SOL
diers' memorial now erecting at Buffalo,
NY
The first group modelled by Mr.. Buberl for
this frieze and sent to Con. Megs in plaster
for approval contains three mounted officers
and several infantry soldiers. The action of
men and horses is very spirited, natural, and
graceful.
The modelling in high relief is forcible
anu bkllltul. Inc long procession has not
yet all been designed But already groups of
infantry of cavalry, and ofartillery are COM
ploted, and portion of the naval contingent
is In the hands of the Boston Terra
Gotta company, who have the task of putting
into buff terra Gotta, burned at white heat,
the design. of Mr.. BubeIl. OF the work, about
fifty feet in length have been received, and rs
much more has been already shipped from
Boston. As rapidly as received here it will
be erected.
The work thus far received is admirably
executed in clay and does justice to the de-
signs of the sculptor. The tint of the terra
Gotta is warm buff or cream, which harmo-
nizes with the red Washington brick of the
walls, and tho contrast of the two
mutually relieves the sculpture and makes
it more distinct. 1t gives in our bright
climate forcible light and shade.
Three of the gates of the building are COM
pleted. The west and east gates have buff
terra Gotta fgures-with spandules of Mars,
Minerva, and Neptune-representin Mars,
the brute power of war; Minerva, the scien-
tifc skill of arms, and Neptune, the marine
contingent in +" the dread game which, were
their subjects wise, kings would not dare to
play at" The south gate is enriched by
nodded representations of "The Fateful
Three" who spin and twist and cut tho
threads Of human life-Clotho, and Lachesis,
and Atropos.
The terra Gotta used in the gates is from
