THE decision of the United States Supreme
Court, rendered yesterday, in the cases in
volving the civil rights of colored citizens
will be surprise to the general public 1t
has come to be believed that the newly en-
franchised citizen was constitutionally guar
anteed the same rights in hotels, theaters and
public conveyances as are enjoyed by white
men,. This, it appears, is a mistake,
which is made plain in the opinion
prepared by Justice Bradley. The current
belief has been that the Thirteenth and
Fourteenth amendments to the constitution
made provision for the compelling of equal
treatment of all men without regard to race,
color, or previous condition of servitude,
The error OF such idea may be readily de-
suited. The Thirteenth amendment gives
Congress the power to prevent slavery and
involuntary servitude except as a punish
ment for crime, whereof the party shall
have been duly convicted. The Fourteenth,
or civil rights amendment, empowers Con-
gress to pass laws preventing any State abridg-
ing the civil rights of any citizen, black or
white, except as a punishment for crime
after conviction. But it does not give Con-
gress any power to pass a law compelling
States to see that its citizens enjoy the priv
ileges of public places and conveyances.
The amendment is prohibitory, and the act
passed by Congress is clearly unconstitu-
tiona, in that it exceeds the power of Con-
gress as fixed by the article under which the
statute was sought to be established The
court holds that Congress may, if it sees
proper enact such laws for the territories
and the District of Columbia, but
not for the states. As the matter
now stands, the colored man who is refused
