THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.
An Exciting Day in the House. But
ler Replies to John Young Brown.
Passage of the Iniquity. The Vote
on its Passage.
Washington, February s.— At a quar
ter after twelve o’clock., after several
speeches had been made, the most no
ticeable of which were those of Messrs.
Phelps and Shanks, Gen. Butler called
the previous question.
In the course of his speech, Mr.
Shanks caused the equal rights plank
of the Democratic platform of 1872, to
be read, which created a burst of
laughter all over the House, which was
again and again renewed, when he an
nounced he would offer it as a preamble
to the bill.
Mr. Butler accepted the amendment.
At twenty minutes to one o’clock Mr.
Butler rose to close the debate on the
bill. The scene presented in the House
has rarely been surpassed. Every gal
lery, including the diplomatic, the la
dies, etc., is crowded, and nearly a
thousand persons crowded around the
doors endeavoring to obtain admission.
Before Mr. Butler commenced his
speech a motion was made to admit
the ladies to the floor, but objection
was made by Mr. Niblack. Mr. But
ler’s speech was very moderate, con
taining no personal allusions whatever.
In the course of his speech, Mr. Butler
caused to be read a petition to the Mis
sissippi Legislature, in -which a white
mao asked that seven different child
ren by six different colored women be
legitimitized. The reading of the names
was greeted with bursts of laughter.
He followed up this point by asking
the clerk to read a letter received by
him from a colored man in Richmond,
in which he declared that colored chil
dren twelve years old, and p even under,
were outraged in that and. other States
by white men and boys, and no redress
could be obtained in the courts.
Mr. John Ambler Smith, of the Rich
mond District, pronounced th© state
ment utterly false, which drew forth
applause from the Democratic side of
the House.
Mr. Butler maintained that the pas
sage of the Civil Rights bill was im
perative demanded to correct this con
dition of society. Under the guise of
showing the struggle through which
the question of equal rights for the
colored people has passed, Mr. Butler,
in his speech, endeavored to square
accounts with John Young' Brown, who
assailed him yesterday. He pronounc
ed a eulogism on old John Brown, and
said he was a brave man, who had
never done a cowardly act, never struck
at a man behind his back, and never
told a lie. And then he went on to
contrast him with another John
Brown, the younger of that name
(referring to Mr. Brown, of Ken
tucky), and sent to the clerk’s desk to be
read a communication to the Louisville
Courier in 1861, in which he admits
having declared at a public meeting
that not one man nor one dollar would
Kentucky furnish to Lincoln to aid him
in his unholy war against the South,
and that if the Northern army should
attem pt to cross the borders of Ken
tucky, it would be resisted to the death,
and that if one man were found in the
commonwealth to volunteer to join it,
he ought to be and would be shot down
before leaving tbe State.
Before the clerk had completed the
reading of the letter, a point of order
was raised by Mr. Hale, of New York,
who insisted if it reflected on a mem
ber of the House it should not be read.
Mr. Butler, on the other hand, in
sisted it. was the official report made
by the Election Committee to the
House of Representatives.
The Speaker represented the diffi
culty of deciding on points on debate,
but held if the gentleman from Massa
chusetts asserted it was pertinent to
the subject before the House, it could
be excused, if it did reflect on a
member, because it was contained in
au official report.
Mr. Hale then said he trusted the
gentleman from Massachusetts would
not shame the Republican side of the
House by such an attack upon a mem
ber, when no response could be made.
Mr. Butler, not having heard the re
mark distinctly asked Mr. Hale to re
peat it, which fhe latter did, strongly
emphasizing the word shame.
Mr. Butler—l cannot understand it.
I sat here with my lips sealed for
hours yesterday, and heard every hard
word spoken against me, aud there
was no objection on the part of the ob
jecting member from New York.
Mr. Halo—The gentleman is in er
ror. I did raise tho objection.
Mr. Butlee—Yes, when your own re
marks were quoted against you. *
Mr. Halo—No, sir.
Mr. Butler—l have lived to see many
things and I expect to live to see many
more, barring accidents, but I never
expected to live to hear in a House of
Representatives that a public report
adopted by a former House could not
be read over, out of kind consideration
for the feelings of some man who put
himself in rebellion agains t the country.
After a long discussion on the point
of order, and after the reading of the
letter, Mr. Butler resumed his remarks.
He said the gentleman from Kentucky
(Mr. Brown) made a speech against the
Civil Rights bill, and I have endeavored
to put before the House his published
sentiments to show how little heed we
should pay to anything he says on
this subject; to show how little we
should take his advice, how little we
should hear from him at all, unless he
has repented, and I have no knowledge
of his repentance. Again, I have been
accused here of being the only mur
derer on this floor. I produce the
solemn report of a committee of the
House and this man’s own letter to
show there were men who counseled
murder in the South ; not only murder
but assassination, and instead of my
being his accuser, he was an accuser,
and that this state of things existing
shows how completely tho negro, if we
do not protect him in his rights, is at
tho mercy of the same men who would
shoot down the gentleman himself (Mr.
Brown) if he had ever dared to step
IfeJMo lanstitutionalist.
across the line of Union bayonets
during the war. [Applause and clap
ping of hands on the floor and in the
galleries.]
Mr. Crossland, of Kentucky, called
the attention of the Speaker to this
violation of order.
The Speaker thereupon directed the
Sergeant-at-Arms, on the recurrence of
any such manifestation, to clear the
galleries.
Mr. Butler—The reason why we de
sire to have this bill passed its'the fact
which has been so often put before us,
that wo are about passing from power.
We are to surrender the power of one
branch of the Government at least into
the hands of the gentlemen who enter
tained the sentiments toward Unon
men and Union soldiers that I have
had read, who have avowed them on
the stump, and who have neveir, to my
knowledge, retracted them. If I was
wrong the other day, and went too far
in saying there was a minority of mur
derers in the South, here is my justifi
cation. The House of Representatives
has solemnly said it by adopting that
report. Not only murderers, but assas
sins, and therefore I was right in say
ing the minority were so.
Mr. Eldridge made a point of order
on Mr. Butler’s last remarks, whicli
were reduced to writing.
The Speaker ruled there was nothing
in the language which transcended the
rights of debate.
Mr. Butler said he sympathized with
the conditions of things South. When
the Northern army was disbanded
there were thousands of men discharg
ed who would become pests of society
if they had not been rapidly absorbed
and obtained employment in mechani
cal, manufacturing, sea-faring and oth
er pursuits ; that it was not so with
men disbanded from the Southern
army. They were left demoralized by
the war, without work, without em
ployment, largely without education,
by which they might divert their
minds, with nothing to do except
brood over their wrongs, and think how
wrong it was that the results of the
war had been that the negroes who
had worked for them before the war
had been taken from them. That state
of natural irritation has left a large
number of demoralized and unruly men,
and most of the White Leaguers are
men of that class. I call upon the
people of the South, if they want
prosperity, that they shall ' them
selves check and control this class
of men. They are impoverishing
the South and impoverishing the
whole country. When I spoke the
other day about the South having a
large minority of murderers and raid
ers, I spoke of that class of men who
form Ku Klux klans. But we are told
that if we pass this bill wo shall not
come back to Congress. My deliber
ate conviction is that the reason why
many of us do not come back to Con
gress, is because we had not passed
the bill a year ago; because we were a
do-nothing party, afraid of our shad
ows ; because wo were aptly described
by the angel who asked to have writ
ten to the Church of Loadicia, “ being
neither hot or cold, I spew you out of
ray mouth.” My successor a very
clever gentleman, could no more have
been elected than he could be trans
lated to heaven as Elijah, if he had not
agreed to stand on the doctrine of
equal rights to all before the law, on
every stump in my district. Why we
were beaten was because civil rights
was not an accomplished fact. So now,
if the Republican party will finish its
great work, if it will bring, by bayo
nets, or otherwise, peace, prosperity,
quiet, order and law into the South,
and put down raiders there, as the
people of the South ought to do them
selves, then you will find we shall come
back here.
The House then proceeded to vote
on the bill and amendments. The first
vote was on Kellogg’s amendment to
strike out of House bill all in reference
to schools, and it was agreed to by a
large majority, but without the yeas
and nays. The next vote was on Mr.
Cessna’s motion to substitute the Sen
ate bill for the House bill, and it was
rejected—yeas, 113 ; nays, 148. The
next vote was on inserting, as a pre
amble to the bill, a portion of the De
mocratic platform of 1872, which had
been quoted by Mr. Burrows of Michi
gan.
Mr. Porter, of New York, asked leave
to add as an amendment to the pre
amble the 4th section of the same
platform, as follows :
‘•Local self-goveanment, with impar
tial suffrage, will guard the rights of
all citizens more securely than any
central power.”
Objection was made and the amend
ment was not received.
The preamble was then adopted—
yeas, 219 ; nays, 26.
The bill was then passed by—yeas,
162 ; nays, 100, as follows :

THE STATE OF TRADE.
Causes of the Dead Lock Between
Buyers and Sellers.
New Year’s has passed and gone, and
the improved condition of business
which was anticipated has taken place,
but in a way that only keeps the pro
mise to the lips while it destroys it to
the spirit. Transactions are taking
place on a more extended scale ; money
is no longer so extremely scarce, and,
taken altogether there is a bustle and
preparation, if not an actual improve
ment in business, which gives promise
of a magnificent spring trade. But
when we come to investigate these ope
rations we find a rather unexpected
condition of affairs. In the first place
they are on a very limited scale, and to
supply immediate direct wants of con
sumers. Then, again, sales are
only possible on evidence that no fur
ther decline in the market is to be
looked for. And just here we have
the key-note of the causes of the con
tinuance of the present commercial de
pression. Every one is afraid to buy
on a falling market. When prices are
advancing he who buys most and often
est makes the most money. Every
transaction is a profit. But in a fall
ing or doubtful market all these condi
tions are reversed. He who buys least
and last is likely to realize the most
profit. This is so well understood that
buyers in the early part of. the season
are anxious to stipulate' that they
should be “ recompensed ” in case of a
decline. That is to say, if the market
should fall the early buyer shall re
ceive the difference between the
amounts first paid them and the cur
rent rates. Of course, restrictions of
this kind is the destruction of anv(hing
like an active trade, and puts an end
to all enterprise. The practice is only
excusuable on account of its supposed
necessity. It facilitates operations
which would otherwise be impossible,
owing to differences between buyers
and sellers.
And this is about the condition of j
affairs now existing all over the coun
try, and which is likely to continue for I
some months to come. There has been
a very heavy shrinkage of values of all
kinds, but it is not yet quite certain
whether the bottom has been touched
or not. Until this is positively deter
mined once for all, trade will be neces
sarily limited and contracted. Buyers
want to know the very best terms of
sellers, and this must be determined too
clearly to admit of any “ favorite par
ties.” Persons coming late in the day
to buy must not be led to suspect that
the cream has been taken off the mar
ket. There is also much that sellers
and manufacturers desire to know. It
is vital with them to ascertain the out
side limits at which production is safe,
and in cases where the margin is nar
row to keep closely within the lines.
The purchasing capacity of the people
requires to be ascertained with some
thing of approximate correctness, in
order to justify investments.
The question as to how long the dead
lock will continue between buyers and
sellers depends upon contingencies
that it is impossible to anticipate. So
far as the prices of the great staples
are concerned it is difficult to imagine
how they can be any cheaper than
they are at present. Most of the Lead
ing commodities are cheaper in cur
rency than they were in gold, and hu
man labor is the very cheapest of all.
Nevertheless sales are difficult to ef
fect, and thousand of workmen stand
idle. But when we consider the im
mense material wealth of the country
it is difficult to imagine that it can
much longer remain tied up. Causes
are in operation that must soon pro
duce a change, which cannot fail to be
for the better.
A Husband Sold for Two Cents.—
A few months ago a married woman on
Ida, Hill became acquainted with a
maiden lady of forty, who resides near
the junction of Congress and Ferry
streets. They been acquainted but a
short time, when the married woman
made a proposition to the maiden lady,
aud offered her husband for sale. The
price fixed was two cents. This was
quickly paid, and the pair soon parted.
When night came Mrs. A’s husband
failed to make his appearance ; up to
last night he was still missing. Mrs.
A. says she was only in jest when she
made the proposition, but, unfortu
nately for her, the maiden, who hap
pened to be somewhat advanced in
life, took the matter in earnest, and
she is now lord and master of Mrs. A.’s
husband. The disturbed feeling3 of
one and the supposed rejoicing of the
other other cannot easily be portrayed,
aud the circumstances connected there
with belong only to themselves, no
doubt. Anxious friends, however, are
awaiting further developments.
[Tray (N. Y.) Wfiuj.
One night recently the gas suddenly
went out all over Marseilles, just as a
gymnast, performing on the flying tra
peze in a theatre, was in the air making
his leap from one trapeze to catch the
other. He caught the other success
fully, but in such a nervous condition
that he remained in a convulsive or
cateleptic state. He could not relax
his grasp to change his position ; his
muscles held rigidly as steel, and his
whole body was fixed swinging like a
stone. He was taken down in that con
dition, and recovered next day.

One morning last week a five year
old boy in Portland, while in bed, ask
ed his mother if God could stand in
the air. The mother replied that he
could, and while reflecting upon the
maturity of the boy, and that the
thoughts of God and heaven were ab
sorbing his mind, her feelings can be
etter imagined than described when
rema f ked that God could do
more than a circus man.
