Civil Rights in New York.

Nothing, says the Charlottesville
Chronicle, could have more effectually
demonstrated the fact that the white
people of the North feel to the negroes
dwelling among them just as do the
white people of the South, than the
so called civil rights bill, recently
passed by the New York Legislature,
to which we referred a few days ago.
Some of the colored people of New
York city have taken advantage of
this law to force themselves into
hotels, restaurants and other places of
public entertainment, admittance to
which had previously been denied
them. The result is that they are
creating a violent prejudice against
their race, and are bringing the party
responsible for the law into almost
universal disfavor. The fact is that
the men who, for political purposes,
rushed the bill through the Legislature
and even most of those fanatical South
haters who desire to force a similar
measure upon the whole country
would hesitate as quickly as any
Southerner before they would admit
the negro into their own houses upon
terms of social equality with their
families.
From present appearances the Re-
publicans who enacted this law have
overreached themselves, and it is like
ly to accomplish result very different
from the one they desired.
The Baltimore Suns New York cor
respondent says
ga hotel man denounced the Jaw as
a political move, and predicts that it
will lose the whole of the hotel vote
and the vote of patrons of hotels to the
Republican party. You'll see, said he,
that the Republicans will find they've
made big mistake in passing that
law. 1t will take thousands of votes
away from them. I'm Repu blican,
but I'll never vote for any man that
voted for that bill or had anything to
do with passing it. To win a few
votes by it the party will lose many"
