Senator Morrill, of Vermont has for
some months been known to be engaged
in the preparation of an elaborate speech
against reciprocity treaties, OF this labor
the country is to-day given the benefit.
Although not Il lawyer by profession or
training, senator Morrill, in his opinions
upon constitutional questions is entitled
to more than common respect ana atten-
ton. His singular purity in official pur-
pose and his absolute devotion to that
which he believes to be right and best for
the country which he has served So long
well assures his hearers that in this
vigorous and earnest effort he has com
bined maturcd thought and strong con
ViCtiOn. His theories of the constitutional
rights of the President and senate in eS-
tablishlng commercial treaties are, how
ever, not those generally accepted, and in
his denuncatiOn of reciprocity treaties
on principle he goes where few will will
ingly follow. Properly adjusted, these
treaties may be made to yield quite salts
factory results in connection with our
protective system, and 50 long as the final
legislation to harmOnlle tariff laws with
treaties is left to be initiated in the house
of representatives, no usurpatiun of the
rights of that body can bee complained of
with justice.

Investigated the charges in detail and on
Thursday submitted its report through
Mr., Cox of New York. The report
starts out with the declaration that there

BALTIMORE, November 23.-Rey.
Harvey Johnston, of the colored Union
Baptist church, and Rev. P. ii. A.
Braxton. Of the colored Calvary church,
both Of this city, have, through their
counsel, completed their declarations
in suits against the officers and crew of
the ferry-bOat plying between Norfolk
and Portsmouth, Va, under the civil
rights act, which declarations are in
tended to avoid any ground upon which
the Supreme Court Of the United States
has rendered decisions adverse to CO.
lorcd ltigants. The suit will be
brought in the Fourth circuit of the
Eastern district o. Virginia. The suit
will include the municipalities Of Ports
mouth and Norfolk as parties to the vio-
lation Of the ciyil-rights law as joint own
ers of the ferry-boat. The facts alleged
are that the complainants were in at
tendance upon the convention held in
Norfolk, and were delegated to preach
in Portsmouth on the 18th Of May,
1885. They secured first-class passage
on the ferry-bOat, and were roughly
ordered to confne themselves to that
portion Of the boat separated for the
blacks. Braxton, being ignorant Of
such rules, refused to comply with the
order. when he was forcibly seized,
though offering no resistance, and
elected from that part Of the boat
occupied by the white passengers.
johnson complied with the order, and
for the remainder Of the journey stood
among the horses and freight. On
landing at Portsmouth both were ar
rested and held to bail for violating the
rules Of the boat, but, upon trial, were
acquitted. The declaration contains
two counts; first, of false arrest and
imprisonment, and in the second is pre-
sented for the first time the novel law
point of an action for discrimination on
account Of color against citizen of the
United States Of African descent.
This, it is claimed, involves the ques-
ton Of intrinsic importance as to civil
