SUNDAY MORNING. DBT. 14. 1*T*.
“Civil ttlghta.”
Tliu liiUu K*xtberinjf of roatlon mulatto
jioliticisna, calling itself a “National
Civil KighU Convention," waa i
fiasco fo far as the negro population of
this country ia concerned. It
•onto! only itself, and that waa nothing
Hi"f than a knot of hybrids, supremely
aniioua to nib out, by United States stat
ute, what little of the negro there may
bo in them, and to force themselves by
law in unwcleomo social contact with the
whites.
Hut however insignificant the move
ment may bo, doubtless the so-called
« Supplementary Civil Bights bill” will
get through Congress this soasioc. It
will create some temporary discontent,
but will bo found practically to amount
to nothin)'. No statute of tko kind could
be productive of any material offeet in
opposition to public opinion. No taVcan
be devised which will not bo evaded, and
tho more the negro pushes himself into
social contort with tho whites, tho leas
practical success will ho achieve.
A law against naturo, tho fino senses,
anil public and private decency and
propriety i.-: a dead letter. It is true, the
Southern whites, accustomed to intimate
association with tho negro from early
childhood ore far moro tolerant of such
contact than those of any other section;
hut with us it has certain limits and oc-
rations beyond which tho senses and an
innate conviction of propriety revolt.
Tho attempt to force common tables—
lath tat*—bedding and other hotel ac
commodations, and all of that kind of so
cial intercourse which implies affiliation
and intermixture is insurmountably of
fensive, and tho effoct of this effort to
compel it by tlio United State statute,
will only be to aggravate that so-callod
"prejudice of color” which it is tho pro
fessed design of the bill to abate.
If the God of Naturo bad intended
Uiose two widely diverse races to com
mingle, ho would not hava endowed
either with physical characteristics to
nrnko it unwelcome or impossible. True,
tho advocates of such stupid and indo-
rent legislation say that thoy do not
moan to enforce ton at equality—oh, no.
Hut if thoy legislate to putanogroaloog-
eido or a white man in overy spot oxcept
his own house, how much further can
Hgfn/.. ft( . '- ft ' mm I
cesses, and that which in the ruder sex
inquires yean of persistent toil to imper
fectly accomplish, is pronounced finutui.
And it is wonderful how much these
ambitious and tractable creatures do
achieve in that brief period. Many a
sturdy young man, with twice the oppor
tunities and length of time devoted to his
education, might well shrink from com
parison with these tender graduates.
But at what cost has this forcing process
been carried on ? * How many young
ladies ore stricken down with typhoid
fever from exhaustion before tho scholas
tic year closes, and if able to graduate,
are lacking in that vigorous physique
which is tho result of English training,
but, alas con so seldom be seen on this
side of the water ? And the reason is
that the hours of recreation aro too few,
and the duties and studies too many.
Prom the earliest dawn labor begins,
and never eessas until a late hour at
night. Even tho brief seasons of so call
ed recess must be devoted to conning
lessons, or given to tho music teacher.
But surely they have Saturday for them-
solves. By no means—compositions, so
ciety exercises, and other tasks occupy
that day also. Tho mind and body aro
ever on the stretch, and the galley slavo
chained to his oar lias moro hours of re
pose.
We do not hesitate to affirm that this
system of oducation is erroneous and de
fective. Society and parents are to blame
for it—not the institutions, as they but
simply carry out the will of their patrons.
Learned professors declare that tho mind
of the student should not bo burdened
with a multitude of studies at the same
time, and the daily recitations ought
never to exceed throe in number. More
than this is not exacted in the first uni
versities of the country, nor is tho liberty
of the student restricted, savo when in tho
recitation room.
Why thon should a contrary course bo
pursued with our daughters, who are said
to be tho weaker vessels, (physically we
moan,) and deserve to bo the moro ten-
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
Tito Price of Negron.
Time was when the papers used to print
tegular quotations; but now tho exchange
U closed, and transactions aro only occa
sional. This makes tho market extremo-
ly uncertain and fluctuating. The Charlos-
Neirs nnd Courier prints tho affidavits of
somo of the African Legislators as to tho
prieo for which thoy sold thomselvcn to
John Patterson. Ono Miller swoon he
•old himself for sixty-fivo dollan, which
ix far below tho old price for a good field
hand. Another, a likely fellow, named
Ellison, swears before Trial “Jcstioe”
Kirk that he sold himself for any sum of
money between fivo hundred and a thou
sand dollars, and if bo, that comet nearer
old prices. Another, ono Battens, says
he was offered four hundred dollan.
It will bo soon that the range of prices
il to wide that thoy fail to establish reli
able quotations. Tire object of these
oaths is to convict John Patterson of
bribing his way into tho Senate of tho
United States—a piocn of business which
no man in tho United States doubts that
the said John Patterson did successfully
transact—paying for tho legislative votes
considerations varying from a two gallon
jug of vrlusky to a thousand doltefii a
bead.
But although this may be true, bow
aro the facts to be establish oil by affiants
*lw swear that they sold themselves to
John Pattorson 7 It John Patterson
bought those niggers, are their oaths en
titled to credit when they swear that John
Patterson bought them? They swear,
for example, that they have committed
perjury and breach of trust for sixty-five
dollar*. Very good ! If that be so, what
i» their evidence worth f Aro they cred
ible witnesses 7 Did they commit perjury
and breach of trust when they voted for
John Patterson, or are thoy committing
perjury now when thoy swear that they
•old themselves to John Patterson. That
>* the point.
Their affidavit establishes that they
ore in tho market at a prieo, and the
location arises, when are thoy or were
•hey sold—then or now t It is a vexed
Print, and it ought to be settled by a de-
eaion of tho Supreme Court of the United
States, and some rales of construction of
hogro testimony be authoritatively estab
lished. Wo know that hundreds ot white
m«n have been sworn into tho peniten
tiary by their testimony, and the United
States have now stored away in its u-
f hireE ton volumes of fourteen thousand
Pages each of it, and the Kadicais have
no possession they value so much. There
fore a sound rule of constructing and in
terpreting this valuable mass of evidence
ou frht to be laid down at once, and to be
introduced into the preface of each of
three volumes. The point is this: When
a man swears that he has been paid so
~uch for perjuring himself, where does

in the majority of the seminaries and
brenling schools of the country, the girls
ore over-taxed, both in mind and body.
The herculean and impossible attempt
u mode to put them through a seien-
•He course, embracing in its curriculum
*°*n« of tho dead languages, the higher
poaches of mathematics, French, chom-
utr 7. philosophy, rhetoric and many other
*tudies. Music and drawing too, most, of
reorso. come in for a share of attention,
nnd divers other ornamental brunches
, likewise.
This would all be very proper, for girls
Proverbially bright and teachable, if
« dear little things had half a chance.

Education is properly tho work of a

The Chief-Justiceship.
The question of confirming the nomi
nation of Attorney-General Williams aa
Chief Justice of tho Supremo Bench was
to havo .been determined in tho Scnato
lost Friday, but so far, wo liavo no infor
mation that final action boa bocn token.
Meantime, every Whito House influenco
is brought to bear on tho Senate, but tho
number of refractory Kadicais is not di
minishing. Among theso arc said to ho
Senator Edmunds, tho two Morrills, Pratt,
Allison, Ferry of Michigan, Chandler,
Logan, Oglosby, Buckingham, Alcorn,
Cragin and Ingalls. It is alleged that
Senators Morton, Wright, Boutwoll, Fre-
linghuysen and Cfoxier, look upon tho
appointment with great disfavor, hut do
not like to toko any steps which will lead
to a rupture with the President.
A dispatch to tho St. Louis Republican
of the 8th, says :
The case of Williams was postponed
again to-day, and will come np Friday.
Tho affair is daily assuming new features
of gravity, and the President is becorn-
ing quite uneasy. He feels that the re
jection of so important an appointment
would he the severest blow his adminis
tration has received, and every appliance
known to White House tactics is being
brought to compel tho confirmation of
Williams. Some days ago it was tele
graphed that tho issue would probably
be brought down to a direct question of
fealty to the party and to tho President,
and ’ •' i° is tho stago that has now been
reached. Tho ease is scarcely parallel to
the late one of Judge Hoar. In Hoar’s
ease, his rejoctlon was doe to the adverse
working of personal influences; in this
cose there is no personal animosity on tho
part of Senators toward tho la to Attor
ney General. Tho opposition to his
confirmation is plaoedon the broad ground
of the unfitness of tho nomination, and
the fooling is that, in filling such a
vacancy as that of tho Chief Justice
ship, considerations other than those of
partisanship should obtain. The post
ponement of tho case till Friday is held
to be an indication of strength on the
part of the opposition, and corresponding
weakness on the other side. The friends
of Mr. Williams would have been glad to
proceed to vote on the day after his nom
ination was sent in, had it not been
known that such action would havo forced
ht then and there; so they yielded
to delay, trusting to the operation of
White House influences which thoy knew
would be applied to the utmost. Had a
vote been taken immediately after the
reoeipt of the nomination at least twenty •
three Republican Senator* would have
voted to reject, provided no direct threat*
of ostracism had been held over them.
These '"»«»«« hare materially weak
ened the opposition in the few days that
had already passed, and it is thought and
hoped at the White House that between
this time and Friday the

Senator Gordon’s Postal Reso
lution,
It seems, was in the form of a resolu
tion ot enquiry, as follows:
Whereas, tho abolition of the frank
ing privilege was intended to economize
the expenditures of the government; and
whereas, its abolition prevents the gen
eral distribution to the people of improv
ed field »nd garden seeds, thus defeating
in a measure the benefits which would
otherwise accrue to tho agriculture of
the country from the establishment of
the Agricultural Bureau, and also dis
courages the distribution of public doc-
tun ents which afford important informa
tion and are educators of tho people; and
whereas, to oompenaats the people for
thegi Iqmm them should bo ftn impor
tant reduction of expenditures in the
pnetnl eeirioo of the government; there
fore, _
Seeotvedp That the Poetmeeter Gene-
ral be requested to report for the informa
tion of the Senatet First—What amount
of expense, if any, has been saved to the
government by the abolition of the frank
ing privilege- Second—How many em-
■ in the mail aervioe, if any, have
discharged, by the railroads and
other carriers for the mails since the ab
olition of the franking privilege. Third—
How mneh less appropriation will be re
quired for the postal service by reason of
the abolition of said privilege.
Bixux is now reported to be agitating
the question of getting np an Industrial
Exposition.
That political “What Is It," the Grif
fin Star, “likes the appointment of Wil
liams as Chief Justice. He is a self-made
man, and a man all over—physically,
mentally and morally. He hm sustained
himself wonderfully upon the bench, in
the Senate Chamber and in the Cabinet.
He is a Conservative and at the same
time a Young America man. In all his
career he has nevor yet poured out any
vials of wrath toward the South.”
That ought to be worth a Federal print
ing job, or a post-office, or some other
crumb. Brother Freeman will doubtless
see to it that such trooly loyl gush is
brought to the notice of the powers that
be. What opinion the white people of
Louisiana, especially, and all other true
men everywhere, will have of it, is no
doubt a very small matter to the gusher.

000 asked for by the Secretary of Navy
which passed the House yesterday. Tho
committee will amend the hill, making
the appropriation $5,000,000, the amount
originally asked for by the Secretary, the
amount appropriated by the House not
being sufficient to moot the necessities of
the navy.
Cheap Transportation.
The meeting called for this evening in
the hall of tho House of Representatives
to compare views on tho subject of rapid
and cheap transportation was presided
over by Representative Dunnell, of Min
nesota. Representatives Clements, of
Florida, and Stone, of Missouri, wero
chosen Secretaries. Fifty or sixty Rep
resentatives were present, together with
Senators Alcorn, of Mississippi, and Ste
venson, of.Kentucky.
Representative Sypher, of Louisiana,
read the call for a meeting which ho said
was signed by over 100 members. This
meeting, he remarked, was not for the
purpose of committing any individual to
any particular project. The East was
interested in this question equally tho
great West and South, and in his judg
ment improvements of a national char
acter was the first question to which they
would sccuro this end, and they were
sought to a greater degree and at less
expense to tho country than any other
project of artificial means which could
bo devised. After speaking of the ex
cess of Western products seeking
Eastern and European markets being
an amount over one-tenth of the
gross yield of cereals, he said theso
cereals were transported by threo great
water routes, namely, tho St. Lawrence,
Hudson and Mississippi. Tho average
freight rates per bushel and time of
transit are as fell ws: From Chicago to
Liverpool via St. Lawrence, 45 cents per
bushel and fifty-three day’s timo; by ti a
Hudson river route, forty-line cents pi x
bushel and fifty eight day’s time; by the
Mississippi from St. Louis, thirty-seven
cents per bushel and thirty days’
time. The two first-named routes wore
icc-bound five months out of twelve,
whereas the last-named was practicable
the entire year. While ho was an advo
cate, and pressed the advantages, of the
Mississippi route, he desired it to be dis
tinctly understood that he didn’t antago
nize with other projects of the St. Phillip
Canal. He spoke especially of its neces
sity. The material depth of water at the
month of the Mississippi being only four
teen feet, from seventeen to twenty feet
had been maintained by tho Government
dredge boats, bnt this was not reliable.
He continued to speak at length of the
great advantages, not only to the people
of the Mississippi Valley, but to the en
tire country.
Representative Norris, of Virginia,
spoke of the improvement of the James
River and Kanawha canal, which would
connect the James river with the Atlant
ic, affording the great West an outlet to
the sea. This work was favored by many
of those who framed our Government, in
cluding General Washington himself, a
practical engineer. A survey had been
made by order of the Government, and
all the engineers reported as to its feasi
bility. It would n»t cost over $47,000,-
000 or $50,000,000. This sum was not
hogo as compared with the benefits which
would result from it. Water communi
cation, though slow and tedious, was only
cheap transportation. Liverpool was
nearer by one thousand miles by way of
Norfolk tbft-Ti by way of New Orleans. He
was prepared to go into an examination
of all improvement projects, and to give
such of them as were proper his cordial
support. They were great national ques
tions, and must not be treated as alone of
interest to the Mississippi valley; but as
of tlie advantage to a common country
and a common destiny.
Representative Cobb, of Kansas, said
he should like to know whether this was
a caucus of the members residing in the
valley of the Mississippi, met to consider
the interests of that section of country
and not the merits of the James River
and Kanawha canal ?
Mr. Harris replied that he did not wish
to intrude himself on the caucus, and
imagined that he was at liberty to speak
of one great moans of transportation, a9
he was not aware the call wa3 exclusive
in its character.
Mr. Sypher interposed, saving to his
friend from Virginia and all others that
the coll did not exclusively apply to the
interests of the Mississippi Volley. This
question was national, and could not be
made sectional.
Representative Rurehard, of Illinois,
said he came hero representing a constit
uency deeply interested in this trailspor
tation question. He did Hot suppose the
object was to agree upon any particular
place, hut that every gentleman was at
liberty to express his views, and that he
would acquire knowledge for future con
sideration with U view to acting intelli
gently on such measures as might bo
brought before the House. He did not
think it prudent to ogreo upon auy plan,
in fact, it waa now impossible to do so. A
strong and popular committee had been
appointed by tho Speaker, consisting of
gentlemen from the West Sid South, who
wero to take charge of all matters rela
ting to railroads, canals, freight and in
land transportation. Ho should bo happy
to hear more fully the views of tho gen
tlemen, either before or after that com
mittee shall make a report.
Crittenden, of Missouri, felt grateful
in seeing so many of all parties meeting
together for the common elevation of our
country from Maine to California, lifting
it from the valley of sectionalism to the
broad plain of nationality. Ho was here
to co-operato with anybody, provided they
could so act as to cany their project.
Congress tad given millions of dol
lars to railroad companies, and while
ho did not mako war upon them, ho
thought now was tho timo for thoso liv
ing in tho Mississippi valley to apply to
Congress to givo them 3uch assistance as
would develop tho great resources of the
West, commencing where tho Mississippi
takes its rise to where it ha3 its outlet,
and removing the obstructions at tho
mouth of that river. Ho hoped they
would all agree, before they loft Wash
ington, upon some plan satisfactory to
the people of the whola country.
Representative Loughridge was glad
to see so many members hero from tho
Mississippi valley. No one question in
terested their constituents so much as
cheap transportation. They wero too apt
to forgot there was any other section than
their own. The South at one timo forgot
there was a North, and the North that
there was a South. Tho East was now
beginning to find out there was a West—
a West which has power in Congress, and
now comes with renewed strength. Tho
West had power to obtain redress if they
would but unite. Ho wished to tako in
tho whole country, and obtain such im
provements as would bo of national ben
efit. The co3t was nothing in tho mat
ter. His constituents were farmers, and
therefore must have an outlet for their
surplus products.
Representative Clark, of Kansas, wished
to offer a resolution declaring tho meet
ing was in favor of tho government im
proving the mouth of the Msssissi|»pi,
either by the counstruction of a canal or
otherwise as competent judges may deem
to bo feasible, at tho earliest possible
moment, as the first great work oE inter
nal improvements.
Representative Bnrohard said this
meeting had no right to bind members to
any plan. Gentlemen conld only express
their individual opinions.
Stannrd, resuming, expressed tho hope
that no resolution would be offered. Ho
proceeded to show that the object in view
could bo effected in no better way than
by improvement of tho Mississippi river.
It was the duty of the Government to do
this, no matter what it might c03t, to
that all tho tributaries to that river might
thus he benefited.
Representative Loughridge asked the
gentleman how long it would take to im
prove tho mouth of the Mississippi if the
outlet were in New York. Stauard re
plied, as soon as men and money could
do it.
Representative Clark, of Kansas, said
the time had come when the West would
demostrate there wa3 a West. He was
in favor of tho Jame3 River and Kana
wha canal, in favor of the St. Lawrence
route, and tho Atlantic and Great We3t-
ern canal, and he favored the improve
ment of the harbor of Galveston, and now
ho asked his Eastern friends to open up
the Mississippi river to tho people of that
valley. He thon offered a resolution, to
which reference has already been made.
After a brisk debate, the chair decided
it to he out of order, as ho did also a res
olution offered by Representative Ford, of
Illinois, providing for tho appointment of
a committee of nine to collect informa
tion as to the facilities and cost of trans
portation by the various proposed ways
of communication.
Mr. Ford said ho had supposed the ob
ject of tho meeting was to put the mat
ter in such a shape as would promise
nnity of action and thus secure results.
Representative McNulty, of Illinois,
said he had attended a cheap transporta
tion convention in Missouri without ac
tion, and now ho had been invited hither
to hear speeches and to compare views.
It struck him that it wore best to quit
talking and do something. He wa3 now'
ready to commence the fight and con
tinue it. If the gentlemen of the East
shall, os intimated, attempt to control
legislation, the Wc3t and South should
unite to control Congress at tho perform
ance of right. Let it bo said the West
and South havo as much power as the
East and will use it.
Representative McLean, of Texas, of
fered the following resolution:
Resolved by this meeting, That the
members of the House of Representatives
whose constituents are interested in
cheap transportation, will direct their
efforts to bring about a unity of action on
the part of said members in the legisla
tion of Congress.
Representative Holman, of Indiana,
alluded to the fact that the Committee
on River and Harbor Improvements has
been largely controlled by Western mem
bers, and that appropriations made for
the Mississippi river, including the in
tervening lines of communication, had.
been in fair proportion to the appropria
tions for such purposes.

Reading, Penn., December 13.—Isaac
Reckert, aged 75 years, one of the oldest
and leading iron masters of the State,
and ono of Reading’s most influential

and Chesapeake railroad stock for $125,-
000. The buyers also guarantoo pay
ment of tlio depositors of tho bank.
Cooperstown, December 13.—Judge
Nelson had been for some months past in
good health and spirits. On Monday ho
complained of having taken a slight cold
and was confined to his room until Fri

lor. Ho came down to breakfast this
morning at rather a late hour as waa his
custom, nnd appeared as well as usual.
While sitting in his chair between one
and two o’clock this afternoon, listening
to tho reading of a letter by Mrs. Nebon,
ho made enquiry in regard to it and then
without a word or sign suddenly died.

Representative Wilson, of Iowa, said
the East was as mnch interested as the
West in snch improvements, and he was
satisfied the Western members were a
unit, and mast support the measures
which would benefit the agricultural in
terests. The question was not how much
money should be spent, but how far Con
gress should go.
Objection was raised to McLean’s reso
lution, but the chair decided it to be in
order.
Representative Purman, of Florida, af
ter Baying that the South had interests
in common with the West, remarked that
if he came from the Mississippi valley he
would, in company with others, demand
the improvement of that river and or
ganize a caucus—making the caucus a
power behind the throne—and would
carry the measure irrespective of money
or sections.
Mr. McLean’s resolution was agreed to.
McNulty offered a resolution that when
this meeting adjourn it adjourn to meet
three weeks from to-night, when it will
take into consideration the propriety of
forming a permanent organization in the
43d Congress in favor of cheap transpor
tation, and will take means for the accom
plishment of that end.
Pending the resolution a motion was
made and carried to adjourn.
It is understood a futuro meeting will
be at the call of the chairman.
