Civil RightsAin New FORK.

Says Seymour, the New York COR
respondent Of the Hartford Times: Our
hotel keepers and theatre nanAgen do
not show any special interest in tho
vcivil rights decision. The reason il that
the act just declared unconstitutional
gave them no trouble TO speak OF, be-
cause they paid hardly any attention to
it. Very few negroes applied for admis-
sion to either the hotels or the theatres,
and the lew who did apply were got nd
OF without much difficulty. II is true
that two or three lawsuits were COM
msnced bv colored persons who fancied
themselves aggrieved. but they were not
pushed with much spirit. and they did
no one any particular harm.
SO far As the theatres are concerned,
negroes were admitted 70 the most Of
them before the act was heard OF, and
will be admitted right along while they
pay their wav. But not to the expensive
seats TO which the high-tonsd white
people go. If they wish to enter the
galleries or even the democratic" part
Of the balconies which used to be called
the dress circles, no one makes any OBJ
lec.ion. hardly ever visit theatre
without seting colored people in either
OF these places. and no one seems TO
think anything OF it. The only mana
gerial objection is 10 their entering the
fashionable parts. As TO the hetels. il
has been easy enough ali along 70 ex.
clude co!ored people. All the clerks
had to say was that they had no Rooms,
and that ended the matter.

THE CIVIL RlGnTSACT.
Ths CniteA saates hapreus Court sets IL
Aside.


The United States Supreme Court dis
posed Of the Civil Rights act passed by
Congress IN 1875, at least SO far a. all
the States are concerned. That act was
intended to secure to colored persons the
.ame rights enjoyed by whites in hotels,
public convevances aud places OF amuse-
nent. It declares that in such places
al persons shall enjoy equal accomo1a-
lions and advantages, without distinction
# race or color It gives any person
,ggrieved the night to sue for five hun
ired dollars damages, and further SUBJ
lects every offender to maximum pen.
Atty Of one Thousand dollars fine and one
years Imprisonment.
The Court lolds that neither the thir-
teenth nor the fourteenth amendment
gives to Congress any authority to pass
;his law. The thirteenth amendment
'elates wholly to slavery or involuntary
,ervitude, but the denial to any person
If equal accommodations in an inn, pub.
ic conveyance or place OF entertainment
imposes upoa him no badge Of slavery
,r involuntary servitude." The four
seenth amendment declares that no State
shall deprive any person Of life, liberty,
or property without due process of law,
Tor deny to any person the equal pro-
lection of the laws, and it empowers
Congress to enforce its provisions. This
prohibits States from enacting laws con-
trary to the amendment, but it does not
authorize Congress to legislate directly
| to secure the objects Of the amendment
in the absence or independently Of hos
tile State action. Congress is simply
empowered "to provide modes of redress
for counteracting the operations and Of
feet of State laws obnoxious to the
amendment"
The Court accordingly declares the
! act unconstitutional so far as it relates to
the States, but upholds it as constitu-
tional in its application to the Terrific
xies. While the States are prohibited
by the fourteenth amendment from max.
| IIK uuJttol dkd1AIot SO1-
ored persons, it is the States, and not
Congress, which have the power to ell
force by penal Legislation the equal
rights Of colored persons in hotels,
theatres and public conveyances. In
she Western Territories. however, and
the District of Columbia the jurisdiction
If Congress is supreme, and there the
Civil Rights act remains in force.
The Court was not called upon to give
its views Of the power of Congress under
the commerce clause of the constitution
70 legislate for the protection of colored
passengers in public conveyances. But
there can he little doubt that Congress
has the authority to pass such laws il
their operation be limited to interstate
travel
