SUTLER on civil RIO his.
Th* following letter emanates from
^ Butler, the
(Wwssman from the district of
SSiin Massachusetts, and will de
fine some doubt , hitherto existing
rrjfly intelligent minds as to the ex
act scope of the fatuous civil rights
*** Washington, March 18, 1875. /
Sir—I have the pleasure to ato-
Itnowledge receipt of yours of thel4th,
5*^5sfeaerm
>iohts* bill, for which accept ( ray
jiinks. You further ask^ “Will you
))e kind enough to inform me if colored
jjjeu are entitled to the privileges of
gaioous and barber shops under' its
pI X 0 this I answer: I understand by
••saloons” you men drinking saloous,
and am happy t0 «*£ that the ciyil
ri^ht bill does not give any right to a
colored man to go into a drinking sa
loon without the leave of the proprie
tor, and am very glad that it does not.
I g’m willing to concede, as a friend to
the colored man, that the white race
oay have at least this one superior
privilege to the colored man, that they
can drink in bar-rooms and saloons,
and I never shall do anything to inter
fere with the exercise of that high and
distinctive privilege. I Would not ad
vocate a bill which should give that
right to the colored man. If I were
to vote for any bill on this subject at
all, it would, be to keep the colored
man out of the drinking saloons; and I
hope no bar-keeper will ever let a col
ored man have a glass of liquor at any
bar open for drinking. Indeed, I
should be glad, whenever a colored
man should go into a drinking saloon
for the purpose of drinking at the bar,
if somebody would at once take him
and put him out, doing him as little
injury as possible. He could do * L ~
colored man no greater kindness.
As to the other branch of your ques
tion, in reference to barber shops, let
me say that the trade of a barber
like any other trade, to be carried on
by the man who is engaged in it at his
own will and pleasure, and the civil
right* bill has nothing to do, and was
intended to have nothing to do, with
its exercises. A barber has a right to
shave whom he pleases, as much ns a
jeweller has a right to repair a watch
for whom he pleases, or a blackrmith
to shoe such colored horses ns he
pleases. In other words, these are
not public employments, but private
business, in which the law does not
interfere.
From time immemorial all men
have had equal rights at the common
law in places of public amusement, in
[ tublic conveyances, and in inns or
icencd taverns, bemuse all such busi
ness was for the public under special
privilegs granted by the government.
The theatre and like public amuse
ments were licensed by the public au
thorities and protected. by the police.
The public conveyances used the
King’s highway. The public inn had
the special privileges of a lien or claim
scruple to impose thirty-five or forty
millions of additional taxerfrr the last
hours of its existeuoe, not a single ef
fort was made to reduce the most no
torious extravagance, or to ditniaiBh
the prodigal 1* -leuditu res which we so
glaring. On toe contrary, the system
of loose, reckless, and corrupt appro
priation of the public money to uu-
worthy objects and for personal uses,
was pursued as yiciously as in the days
of an overflowing Treasury and an ap
parent general prosperity.
The amount of money voted to the
President and for the White House,
exceeds the grants of former years,
aud covers the scandalous frauds which
have heretofore attracted so much
harsh comment. Compared with all
preceding Presidents, the allowances
made to Grant far more than double
those of any predecessor, and quite
treble the appropriations for Mr.
Lincoln during the rebellion, when the
exigencies of the public service were
ten times greater than they now are.
The Legislative Judicial, and Exec
utive bill, and that for sundry civil
Expenses at the late session, contain
the. following ncteworthy items:

and for repairing and extending water
pipes and cleaning the springs that
supply the Capitol and Executive
Mansion, $10,000.
Before Gen. Grant became Presi
dent, the practice was to furnish the
White House anew at the beginning
of every terra of four years. Since
then, an annual appropriation often
or fifteen thousand dollars has been
regularly made and applied to other
objects under the name of furniture.

Early Influences.—There can
be no greater blessing than to be born
in the light and influence of a cheerful,
loving home. It not only insures a
happy childhood, if there be health
and a good constitution—but it almost
makes such a virtuous and happy man
hood, and a fresh young heartljn old
age. We think every parent’s duty
to try and make their children’s child
hood full of love and of childhood’s
proper joyousness; and we never see
children destitute of them through the

The Modern Wonder.—The Cheapest and
Best Sewing Mashino now manufactured
for Family Use, and warranted for'five
years by a responsible Company, is the,
WILSON. This Machine is neither like
nor connected in any way with 1 the
Wheeler & Wilson Machine. Experienced
people are found wondering how so per
fect a Sewing Machine as the Wilson
Shuttle can be inside so perfect in every
part, so thoroughly adapted to the re
quirements ol Family 8ewing. and yet be
sold for twenty dollars less than any oth
er First Class Machine.
It works with equal facility on Muslin,
Cloth, Cambric, Tarletnn, Flannel and
Leather. It docs not paralyze the Spine
or wear out the operator in any way,
A- 00 ? neither does it demand an incessant stop
page to find out where tbe difficulty is,
as none exists. There is 110 difficulty. It
runs smoothly and evenly ; Hems, Fells,
Tucks, Gathers and Binds. It does the
finest and most beautiful work on Cam
bric and Linen.
It also has the merit of lieing cheaper
than any other First Claas Bcwing Ma
chine. It does not get out of order, nor
break needles, nor slip, nor. pucker the
cloth. So complete has the Wilson Sew
ing Machine been made, by a skillful
combination of brain and muscle, that it
has left nothing to be desired.
Each single piece oi steel and iron in
the Wilson Shuttle Sewing Machine, lia
ble to the least particle of wear, is finely
tempered or thoroughly case-hardened,
thus making the Wilson Sewing Machine
wear as long as time, and last from one
generation to another, with proper care
and attention.

against him, and an attempt in certain
parte of the country to interfere with
the exercise of those common law
rights, and has enacted a penally as a
means of enforcing the rights in his
behalf in consideration of his helpless
aud dependent condition. The civil
rights bill has not altered the colored
man’s rights at all from what they
were before under the common law ap
plicable to pearly every Siu!•• i’i the
Union. It has only given him
greater power to enforce that right to
meet the exigency of combined elfoTt
to deprive colored citizens of it; and all
idea that the civil rights bill allows the
colored man to force himself into any
man’s shop, or into any man’s private
house, or into any eating house, board
ing house or establishment other than
those I have named, is simply an ex
hibition of ignorance as well as, in
some cases, of insufferable prejucdice
and malignity. And while I would
sustain any colored man in firmly and
properly insisting upon his rights un
der the civil rights hill, which were his
at common law, as they were the right
of every citizen, yet I should oppose to
the utmost of my power any attempt
on the part of the colored men to use
the civil rights bill ns a pretence to in
terfere with the private business of
private parties. It is beneath the
dignity of any colored man so to do,
and all acts, such as shutting hi in out
from drinking saloons, may be. well
left to the ignorant ana generally
vicious men who keep them as a badge
of their superiority to the colored race.

him if there was “ a gentleman with
