Referring lo the Hampton Roads Commis sion in that address I said: - , s • -/ •’You*have heard it said that the Preaidant embarrassed the commissioners, l«y giving them positive instructions to make the rec ognition of (iiir independence an ultimatum— a condition precedent to any negotiation. This is not irue ” There is no allusion to any one as the au thor of this rumor. 1 knew it was current, and was be ng used to damage the repufa- tion of Mr. Davis as a wise and discreet statesman. I had personal knowledge.that the rumor, like many others circulated for the same purpose, wu9 not Irue, and it was duty to ptonounce it untrue. 1 only added, in brief, my reasons fur knowing it was not true, to wit: my knowledge of the circumstances resulting in the appointment of the commissioners, and ‘he information I received from Mr. Davis himself Mr. Stephens, alone of the commissioners, became greatly offended with the address as whole, anil made this reference lo the Hampton Roads Commission the chief point of his attack. But he neither affirmed nor denied the rumor itself. There was no al lusion by me. in this portion of the address, (and really in no portiou of it) to his book, tor there was ns such charge against Mr Davis, as that 1 denounced, iu Lis book If the rumor was true, why did lie not say so, and prove it? If it was uot true, why did he not aid me in correcting it ? Instead of doing either, he made a violent personal as sault upon uiy veracity, and with most bitter epithets denounced me as saying what I could not know—what it was impossible for me to known—because I was not (as he pos itively alleged) in Richmond “ituriog the time the subject of the commission, oi the appointment of the commUsioners,. was uii' der consideration by Mr Davis.” Here was a plain issue of veracity. If I had said what I could uot knoiv, l was cer» laiuly not entitled to credit, and should,peyer ask to be believed. If, v on the other baud. Mr. Stephens had accused me falsely, and had emphasized that false accusation with meat vituperative epithets from both the French and English languages, thou ho was bound to retract, or become, himself, forever unworthy of credit. The issue was one which nothing could satisfy but “proof, retraction, or infamy,” and so 1 made it in the letter of April 21st. Under ordinary circumstances, it would uot have been proper for me, after thus joining issue on a quesilion of veracity, to have said uoother word, until Mr..Stephens,* as the assailant, l.ad been heatd from, bring ing before the public either his proof or his expressed.

U was always difficult to draff the fine as to all the facts affected; some would be claimed oa ou one side, some on tfie other; hut the wildest flights of assertion of Congressional Miprem- tXjr-still admitted there was a vast field of subjectff that was %>gyffi>l|BSTik^oPgsIensy al th*tft*te au thorities.. Now, however, we see the United .States Heuate enter Ibis field of strictly Jos mestic subjects and proceed to legislate, not only pn topics that were formerly left lo tpe Rtate Legislatures, but an topics that were regulated by county authorities, by boards of supervi8prs, apd pven by the more strictly local boards of police and excise, lo the first 8ectiou of this bill for civil rights Con gress pretends to lay down rules for the ho tel keepers, to say who 9hall travel in public conveyance, and to govern the theaters and places of amusement generally; to legifllate for onr common schools, colleges, hospitals, insane asylums and charitable institutions generally; nay, even to deelare who shall be buried In our potters* fields—for we be lieve those sre the.*only graveyards we have that are not private property. Further ih*u all this, Congress proceeds to declare who shall sit on the grand juries in the several States, who shall serve as petit jurors, and to lay down penalties for the misconduct of the. Commissioners of Jariesand similiarly strict ly locai officials. All this is not merely un constitutional; it is absurd and noneensical It does not merely transcend tbe power of Congrees. but goer beyond the point np to which 4f»e people can contemplate the law with respeot, and, at least, with straight faces. * * * * * - * In legislation of this sort the Senate sim ply fulminates a bnll against a corn*}. It has no more authority over tbe subjects which il pretends to regulate than tbe Shah of Persia or the Emperor of China or any other mag nificent potentate upon whose intellect his relationships have hail a hod effect.— Congressmen, in so far as they are sincere in regard to this bill, are no doubt misled by that portentously comprehensive clause of the Fourteenth amendment which declares that “Congress shall have power to enforce hy appropriate legislation the provisions^. -this artiola.” But oae clause in the Consti tion cannot have Ihe power lo nullify the purpose, scope and effect ot the whole instru ment taken together. Perhaps the States wanted lo add to the Constitution; we can not believe they intended to expunge it. It was never suppposed that a clause of two lines at tbe tail of an amendment wonld ab rogate tbe whole compact and take its place. In the same amendment it Is said: “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge tbe privileges or immunities of citizeus of the United States: nor shall any >*tate .deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within .its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.** These are the wise and safe iadiontiona of the only appropriate legislation that is possible. Con gress may define within ceitoin limits a course for the sovereign States, but ir cannot oust them and pretend to perform thrir mi nuter functions. But if this legislation is foolish constitu tionally and as il regards national politics, it is even worse in its aspect from the stand point of general or abstract politics. It di rectly provokes, excites and cultivates tbe antipathies of race and caste hy forcing into prominence distinctions that arc ineradica' bfe.; It enforces conflict by causing the law to give an equality which the Creator bis de nied, and ruinously injures the race it pre- Iend3 io serve by placing it iii a position of antagonism to a superior and dominant race. No laws on suck subjects are sound or effec** live save in so far as they are s)«^Lra(ory of actual conditions. If the law designates a line of action that is in accord with the ten dencies of hnman pride and passion there is harmonious operation : but if law and hu man nature are in conflict it is hnman nature ibat prevails, and every ineffective law that is made is a direct loss to the moral power of the State Senators,- however, do not care whal &e operation of this law will be. They give a vote for it as they might place a bait to catch the negro in their political trap They do not even care if the b® is beaten, so Ihtl they can lay the fault of its defeat npon the opposition. We are not sure but that they vote for it the more readily from a confident anticipation that it will not get through ; for thus they will secure credit with the negio and l*a«e no responsibility for a bad law.— They vote also as meu who bid desperately on a last call.

The Only Known Medicine THAT AT THE SAKE TOC* Purges, Purifies, and Strengthens the System. DR. TU1TS PILLS are composed of many Ingre dients. Prominent among them are Sarsaparilla and Wild rberrr.ao united as to act together; the one, through iu admixture with other substances, purify ing ami purging, while the other L*strengthening the system. Thus these PHb are at tbe same time a tonic and a cathartic, a desideratum long sought for by medical men, hut never before considered. ■ In other words, they do the work of two medicines and do il much better than any two we know of, for. they re move nothing from the system "but impurities, so that while they purge they abo strengthen and hence they cause no debility and are followed by no reaction. PR. TUTTS PILLS have a wonderful influence on the bto*jd. They not only purify wjfbont •weakening it, but they remove all noxious parti;Ies from tbe chyle heibre it Is converted into fluid, and tbu- make impure blood au niter impossibility.
