whore is tine NEGRO Now2

The supreme court decided that
the civil rights bill is nnconstitu
tional in that it is law to enforce
afllrmatively measure for which
the constitution stood only as guar
dian. That is to say, the 18th
amendment is only restraint upon
the states to prevent them from
passing laws that deny the rights
it enforces, and congress had no
right to name an act that should
enforce affirmatiYely its negative
provisions. Whenever state shall
abridge those rights, then the 14th
amendment stands to nullify such
act. This is right and just. The
negro has no superior rights in this
country. If it is right to have spe-
cial laws to describe his status and
save to him his rights and equities,
then the white man may claim like
protection. Nature denied the negro
the attributes that fitted him to
claim the equality conferred. Nature
denied the white man the attributes
that fitted him to endure the equal
ty conferred. Hence, if the neg o
has the right to demand its enforce
ment, the white man has an equal
right to demand its annulment.
This civil rights bill was fanatical,
red-mouthed dickering for votes,
and went as soon as the calm light
of unprecedented reason conld reveal
its insane hideousness. Let the
negro take his place under the laws
like the balance of US. If that is
not just, what is2 If under equal
laws he cannot mount to equal
stations with the white man, let him
turn and rend and curse the hand
that made him inferior. A hotel

In a conversation with State
Treasurer Thomas the other day we
found that we had been misin-
formed as to one ruling of the fund
ing board. They do not exclude
state debt proper bonds that have
been refunded if their identity can
be traced. We had thought that
the board arbitrarily excluded
them wherever the original bond
had been converted into another,
but it is not true. He says that it
is almost impossible to trace them,
but wherever it can be certainly de
termined that a COG bond repre-
sents a proper bond it is funded at
100 cents. Col. Thomas informed
us also that the board learned more
of the nature of the bonds and of
the funding operations from Capt.
Jno. S. Wilkes than from all other
sources together. He says that he
has intimation that the funding
will proceed more rapidly as soon
as the suit against the railroads is
decided.

1t was in the midst of the war oil
the rebellion-3rd of march, 1868
that the act of congress was passed
which established the uniform rate
of three cents postage for a half
ounce letter everywhere throughout
the United States. Prior to that
the limit, under the act of 1855, was
1900 miles; and for any half-ounce
letter to be carried further the
charge was ten cents. Going be
hind this again to 1916, the rate
was five cents for a single sheet let
ter carried 800 miles or under, and
ten cents when the distance was
over 300 miles.

The Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette has raised the ghost of Val
landigham to brighten people back
into the republican party. This
going back to bloody-shirt argu-
ment will fail of effect. What mat
tiers it now that Vallandigham
thought the war on the south I'M
just or unnecessary? Others
thought like him and others thought
differently, and each had right to
such opinion. The south long since
lost sight of these things. Who
was more odious to Tennesseans
than Andrew Johnson2 And yet a
short time after the war the people
who had hated him for his opinions
elected him senator over several
rebel generals. Men reason now.

A Confederate Ball in Rich

If next year we should succeed in

$35, 0O0) now in hand for the build

Pulaski went back on its promise
to help build a railroad from that
place to Lawrenceburg.
Result:-Lawrence county being
cut off from railroad communities
tions with that city, the whole
trade and business of Lawrence
county, of necessity, goes some
where else.--Lawrenceburg Press
Correct, except that Pulaski new
er went back on her promise. 1t
was decision of the supreme
court, evoked at the instance of a
few men. Pulaski voted 334 to IL
to subscribe $4,000 to build the
road. We al regretted the failure,
and even the men who defeated it
now recognize their error. We rejoice
at Lawrenceburg's success at last
and we are sorry Pulaski does not
share it.

We have received some very
strong documents showing the
strength and availability of Mr..
Randall for speaker. He is making
vigorous canvass;or some one for
him. For our part,it makes little diff
ference to us whether it be Carlisle
or Randall or Cox. The democratic
members will surely not risk the
life of the party by attempting any
radical tariff changes Immediately
We need time to reflect and weigh
matters before this question is Ia
ken up. The recent revision ought
to have longer trial to see exactly
how it works and see what rene
dies are needed. This being true,
we are rather inclined to think that
Mr.. Randall will bring more
strength and dignity and experience
to the Office than either of the 9th
ers. The party needs to place its
best foot foremost, and put it there
firmly, and after it is well established,
then take up the tariff and adjust it
calmly.

The Rev. DR.. Leftwich has been
pastor of the Tulip street church
for the past two years, and his con-
gregation have become very much
attached to him. One lady, an
ardent admircr, desiring to show
her affection for him, named her
dog after him--"Leftwich so that
the name became household word.
On one occasion, the reverend
gentleman paid a visit to the lady
and her family, and hardly got
seated, when the lady exclaimed,
You, Leftwich, take yourself out of
here. Go! don't you hearT' stamp
ing her foot emphatically. The
doctor looked puzzled. He had
certainly been cordially invited in,
and what did this mean? He was
considerably relieved when the lady
explained, Il was talking to the
dog" as that parsonage wagged his
tail and took a reluctant departure.

resolution was passed rendering the
gratitude of those assembled to
Justice Harlan for his patriotic
and unselfish devotion in reconizing

Another resolution set forth that
'relying on the constitution and
laws of our country and reposing
confidence in the generosity and
sense of justice of our white fellow
citizens, we view without alarm the
abrogation of the civil rights law,
feeling sure that as the two races
grow in wisdom aud tolerance, the

be dissipated, and that in the near
future all American citizens will
stand undisputed on a platform of
