PUBLIC FEELING.

WASHINGTON Telegram to Chicago Herald
The decision is the subject of universal
comment here, and il is safe to say that no
other decision of the Court since the famous
Cred Scott decision by Chief Justice fancy
has created SO much excitement and dis
cussion.
Washington Telegram to Chicago Inter Ocean,
The decision Of the Supreme court in the
Civil Rights eases made something 81 "a sensa-
ton here. There are several suits pending i'm
this district, and the reference made 10 these
in Bradley's opinion causes some consterna-
ton among hotel and restaurant men, who
imagine IL will operate disastrously TO them.
The strong intimation that the law Of Con-
greSs Is operative here, while not deciding the
questions pending as 10 the district. Is con-
strued as authoritative. II also destroys the
hope OF the clique which il agitating the ques-
ton OF suffrage, and opens the new question
as 10 n similar form Of Government tor Utah
Both OF these propositions have had able legal
advocates and the decision Of to-day il re-
Parded n utfording the secure legal footing
for the future. Gen. Ben Harrison. Of Indi-
ana, says he was not much surprised nj the

JUSTICE HARLAN DIssENTS.

At the conclusion of the reading Of Judge
Rradley's opinion, which occupied more than
nm hour, Justice Harlan said that under ordi-
nary circumstances and in an ordinary case
he should hesitate TO set up his individual
opinion i'm opposition 10 his eight colleagues
but, in view Of what he thought the people Of
this country wished to accomplish, what they
tried 10 accomplish. and what they believed
they had accomplished hy means OF this ieyis-
lation. he must express his dissent from the
opinion Of the court. He had not time since
hearing that opinion To prepare statement
of the grounds Of his dissent, hut he should
prepare and file one rs soon as possible, and
In the meantime he desired To put upon rec
ord this expression OF his individual judg
ment. .
