THE OIvIL-RIGHTs LAW.
The Main Points of the Dissenting Opinion
of Judge Harlan.

WASHINGTON, Nov 17-Justice Harlan of
the United States Supreme Court, in his dis
senting opinion of the civil-rights case, says:
THE opinion in these cases proceeds upon
grounds entirely too narrow and artificial.
The substance and spirit of the recent amend
ments to the constitution have been sacrificed
by the subtle and ingenious verbal criticism of
the constitutional provisions, adopted in the
interest of liberty and for the purpose of Sc
curing, through national legislation, if need
be, the rights inhering in a state of freedom
and belonging to American citizenship.
They have been so construed as to defeat the
ends the people desired to accomplish, which
they attempted to accomplish, and which
they supposed they had accomplished, by
changes in their fundamental law. The
court has departed from the familiar rule
requiring, in the Interpretation of constitu-
tional provisions that the full effect be given
the intent with which they were adopted.
The power conferred by the thirteenth
amendment does not rest upon impli-
cation and inference, and the power to
inforce it by appropriate legislation was
expressly granted. Congress- therefore, NAV
enact laws to protect the colored people
against deprivation, on account of their
race, OF any civil rights enjoyed by other
free men in the same State, and such legisla-
ton may be of direct and primary character,
operating upon the States, their officers and
agents. and upon those welding power un-
der the State. The national legislature may,
without transeending the limits of the CON
stitution, do for human liberty and the
fundamental rights of American citizenship
what it did with the sanction of the Supreme
Court for protection of slavery and the rights
Of the masters of fugitive slaves In every
material sense applicable to the practical en-
forcement of the fourteenth amendment
railroad corporations, keepers of inns and
managers of places of amusement are agents
of a State, because amenable to the pulic
regulations, and denial by these instru-
mentalities of State to a citizen, because of
his race, of that equality of civil rights Sc
cured him by the law but denied him by the
State is wrong. The supreme law of the
land has decreed that no authority shall be
exercised in this country upon the basis of
discrimination in respect to civil rights
against freemen and citizens because of their
race, color or previous condition of serV-
tude. The assum ption that the general gov
ernment cannot, in advance of hostile State
laws or hostile State proceedings actively in
terfere for the protection of any rights, priv
ileges and immunities secured by the four
teenth amendment is unauthorized Dy it's

We have not seen nor communicated with
the Governor of Virginia nor heard in any

He is a man as capable as is the Governor of
any State in this Union to determine in what
direction duty lies, and as brave as any man
can be to pursue the course his judgment
may so determine. He is wise to deliberate
well and to wait il waiting will allay the
present eXasperatons. If he shall find that

the public peace and the States authority
if the State is prevented from inquiring into
the nanville massacre through her constitu-
tional agencies at that place, thereby demon
strating that every citizen holds his life by
sufferance of an armed mob, then he will be
called upon to decide whether the time has
not arrived to make application to the Presi-
dent of the United States for the protection of
the State of Virginia against domestic vio-
lence as expressly guaranteed by the language
OF the constitution above quoted. 1t will be
better if reason shall be permitted to resume
her sway. The murders at Danvile must,
in the nature of things, be made the subject
of legal inquiry. The men who witnessed
them should be able to testify without dan
ger to their lives. The reign of terror which
is relied on to stifle the truth cannot continue
if free institutions are to live. The reign of
law and order can be restored through the
submission of the disturbers or the applica-
ton of force. If force becomes necessary
and it should be last resort, to be used

national constitutional force, we say,
should become necessary, the people of the
nation would expect to see their President,

fend the constitution of the United States,

would not be disappointed

Another Account.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
FOWLER, Ind, Nov. 1S.-Jacob Melting, the
murderer of Ada Atkinson, was taken from
Jail here tonight about 1130 o'clock by
weli-organized mob of 300 men, who have
started to Oxford with the prisoner with the
inten ton of hanging him. The mob arrived
in town about II O'clock. 1t was we'll or
ganized, and every man seemed to know just
what he was expected to do.
The Jail was surrounded and the
keys were demanded, but the jaier refused
to deliver them. The mob then forced their
way into the corridors, and Immediately
began work upon the iron doors of the
prison with sledge-hammers. After break
ing through two iron doors, the cell in which
Nelling was confined was reached, and here
the mob had the most difficulty, as two
heavy iron doors had to be battered down.
The work was accomplished in a
few minutes, however. and Melting was
borne from the Jail The mob Immediately
left town with him, and have started to Ok
ford, it is reported, with the intention of
hanging him there. Oxford is ten miles dis
tant from here, and it was near there that
the murder was committed. The mob is
composed of men from that section OF the
county.
The sheriff and Jail officers were not
expecting any attempt at lynch
ing, as the trial of Nelling
was to be called this week and it was under
stood that he would enter plea of guilty,
having already confessed that he committed
the crime The prisoner himself expected
the death penalty, and only hoped that the
execution would be stayed six months. The
Jail officers, not anticipating any mob, were
wholly unprepared to make any strong re-
sstance After breaking through the first
two doors the mob used coldchisels in break
ing the locks on the cell-doors.
NelIiRg had dressed himself while the mob
was working on the outside, and during the
hammerng on the locks of his cell he paced
wildly about in the narrow space of his con-
finement, bowling and begging for mercy.
He was placed in wagon which had been
brought for the purpose, and the mob left
town quietly and in good order
Nelling's crime, the brutal murder OF Ada
Atkinson, was committed on the 9th of

A Significant Article.



Nothing has been printed in Washington
for long time which has attracted more
attention than the editorial in the National
Republican of this morning, which, in forci-
bic language, takes the position that Virginia
is practically in insurrection. The article is
regarded as more significant from the fact
that officials of prominence in the adminis-
tration are known to hold the position that
the present attitude of Virginia IS practically
notification of United States laws.
