HE CONSTITUTIONALIST
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1875.
THE SOCIAL RIGHTS BILL.
There were two speeches made in
ie House of Representatives, during
ihe debate on Civil Rights, which were,
in the main, the quintessence of com
’nonsense. One speech came from a
Democrat and the other from a Repub
lican. The Democrat, Mr. Whitehead,
of Virginia, made this centre-shot:
The trouble was the black man wanted
omething, and would always want some
iing, because he was and ssatisfied with his
i lack skin. They could not give him a
-hiteskin, and therefore should educate
', nd elevate him, and do the best they could
f or him, without attempting impossibili
ties.
Mr. Chittenden, a Republican mem
ber from New York, said :
I do not want to go down with my party
quite so deep as the bill will sink it if it
becomes the law, and that is the reason
why I speak.
I shail vote against the bill for two rea
sons, which I briefly mention. I was born
n Connecticut. I have for thirty-two years
jeen a citizen of the State of New York,
nd I do not believe there is a single town
a New England, or one in the State oi
> ew York, having railroads and telegraphs,
hose white men would favor or vote foi
lis bill if you were to reverse the ratio of
.opulation giving such towns in New Eng
„nd and in the State of New York the samt
: roportion of black men that South Caro
, na and Louisiana now have.
I admit the justice, I admit the conformi
ty of the bill wnich will probably pass to
day with the late Constitutional amend
ments, so far as I understand them. Bui
ne bill is nevertheless an offense ant
menace to the dominant race. Say this b
.rejudiee, or sentiment if you please. I air
a practical man, and believe it impolitic
unnecessarily to vex white men, North ant.
South, by passing this bill now. It will,
moreover, in my judgment, breed mischief,
prejudice, and cruelty, to the weaker iace
in their struggle for a higher civilization.
It will inevitably, unless human nature has
changed, expose the black man to new per
secution, and will raise new barriers to the
rapid elevation of his race. Let it not be
supposed that the battle of the black man
is finished. He cannot be lifted, after a
hundred years of oppression, in one decade
to be in ail respects on the same level with
the white race in this country. He ought
not to expect it.
It will be seen that the warrant to
pass the Civil Rights bill is claimed as
a logical sequence of the 14th and 15th
Amendments and the “appropriate
legislation ” thereunder. Hence the
sting of the Gheelky platform as a pre
amble and the terrific thrust given the
Democracy who committed themselves
to these monstrosities.
While the New York Times and other
high-strung Republican journals de
clare that the bill, if it should become
a law, would be a barrier to their party
in the only way it could hope to make
decided gains ; and that it will be of no
real service to the negro ; the main ob
ject of the measure, as of all the Re
construction schemes, is meant, not for
the welfare of the black man, but the
degradation of white society, of all
sexes, classes and conditions, in the
South. The New York Day Book ut
ters some plain truths on thia subject,
as follows:
“The Abolitionists hold that the
Almighty Creator of the Universe has
made a mistake in creating distinc
tions of race, and to correct this blun
der of Providence, they havo amended
the Constitution, forbidding the peo
ple to recognize these distinctions, and
given Congress power, by ‘ appropriate
legislation,’ to en’orce the ‘amend
ments.’ This Congress has been at
work for ten years past, by its Civil
Rights bills, Ku-Klux, Enforcement
law's, etc., but though it has had a
standing army to aid it, it has thus far
failed utterly to reach the end in view,
and therefore they now propose a
‘Supplemental Civil Rights bill,” which,
with Sheeidan’s aid, they fancy will
accomplish their object and en
force the ‘amendments.’ But we re
peat, why not go the bottom, and
force white and negro to intermarry,
and thus reach the end they seek at
once ? It is no more in conflict with
the Constitution of 1787, or with his
tory or American civilization, or the
natural order, or work of God, than any
ther of their “laws” on this subject for
ten years, and as it reaches at a single
bound all that is possible to mortals, it
is certainly “appropriate legislation.”
And as our worthy and distinguished
'Governor, and our New York Senate.,
and several other luminaries in neigh
boring States, seem to have combined
to induce the Democracy to accept the
“amendments,” of course they could
not object to such appropriate legis
lation as that proposed for carrying
them out, and therefore, howeve:,
the people may revolt at it, a large
share of the Democratic politicians
would be unable to say a word
against it.”
The reference made in the above ex
tract is to Samuel J. Tilden and Fran
cis Kernan, who, however personally
reputable, have- made the dreadful
mistake of attempting to consecrate
these infamous amendments which are
not only in violation of the Constitu
tion but of the law of God. Such a
shameful abandonment of principle by
leading Democrats is one of the worst
signs of the times ; and even Beecher’s
paper, the Christian Union, makes
merry over the fact that latter day
saints among the Democracy have vir
tually endorsed those very principles of
Abolition and Radicalism which have
brought upon this country its greatest
woe and bid fair to open up in the
future miseries undreamt of in the past.
ARKANSAS.
e must await further light upon
tue Arkansas matter before arriving
decided conclusion. That very
irregular proceedings have taken
place in that State no doubt seems to
exist; but there are very grave doubts
as to a retroactive policy which must
disturb the present status of affairs.
Our recollection of past troubles in
Arkansas is that Banter was backed
by the Republicans and Brooks by the
Democrats. Baxter, however, turned
against his party followers and es
poused the Democratic cause, while
Brooks, equally slippery, betrayed the
Democracy and was transformed into
a roaring, ranting Radical. The prime
cause of Arkansas’ difficulty is the de
sertion of principle. Men who essay
all tho dodges of expediency will, soon
er or later, suffer for such betrayal of
trust, and learn, frequently when it is
too late, that when they bet the devil
their heads, His Satanic Majesty al
ways proves to be the winner.
Be this as it may, the President’s
suggestions are full of peril and, so
so far as we can understand them, cal
culated to do much mischief.
The last paragraph of Grant’s spe
cial message is noteworthy. Having
very squarely declared his own con
victions, he asks that Congress will
take some decisive action to relieve
him of a responsibility which he thinks
does not belong to him or his office.
We trust that Congress will let well
enough alone and so instruct the
President. It is very likely that
Congress will dodge the issue and
force Grant to accept another
burden. If the Louisiana case has so
nearly swamped the Republican party,
we should think that such action as the
President foreshadows in Arkansas
would complete the wreck, unless true
patriots ar- so fearfully in the minority
that the country has no longer the ele
ments of salvation and is already ripe
for destruction.

ATLANTA.
Legislative Proceedings.
Atlanta, Ga., February 9.
This morning, in the Senate, Mr.
; Reese moved to reconsider the action
of the Senate yesterday in passing the
bill to prohibit the payment of certain
fraudulent bonds, the same being an
amendment passed by the last Legisla
ture. The said amendment is defect
ive. It didn’t touch the million of
Brunswick and Albany bonds, and the
600,000 Macon and "Brunswick, and
others. He said he had a bill before
the Judiciary Committee, which cover
ed the whole ground.
Mr. Lester was in favor of passing
the bill for what it was worth.
Mr. Wofford said the present bill re
pudiated five millions, and he favored
it for what it was worth, and moved to
lay the motion to reconsider on the ta
ble, which prevailed.
Gov. Smith announced to the Senate
that he had appointed J. F. Bozeman,
of Fulton county, to examine the office
of the State Treasurer, under the reso
lution by the Senate.
The following bills were introduced
in the Senate:
By Mr. Gilmore—To incorporate San
dersville.
By Mr. Reese—To provide for the con
tinuance or discontinuance of the
County Court of McDuffie; also to
allow the father, who insures his life
for the benefit of his wife and children,
to direct how the proceeds are to be
disposed of after death.
By Mr. Howell—A resolution to em
power the Governor to send insane
convicts to the Lunatic Asylum.
The following bill passed the Senate:
To amend the act to construct the
Elberton Air Line.
The following bill was tabled for the
present: To establish a Department
of Insurance.
The following House bills passed the
Senate : To confine the jurisdiction of
the Criminal Court of Richmond; to
make valid certain acts of the Augusta
Real Estate and Building Association ;
to prohibit the sale of intoxicating
liquors in Putnam county, outside of
Eatonton ; to regulate the granting of
retail liquor licenses in Washington
county; to exempt the Augusta Schuet
zenfest from the operation of the law
regulating liquor licenses; to exempt
from jury duty persons over 60 years
of age; to incorporate the Augusta
Savings Institution.
The bill to repeal the act exempting
certain manufactories from taxation
was made the special order for next
Tuesday.
The House, this morning, concurred
in the Senate amendment to give the
Phatty Harris Committee $lO per diem.
The House, this morning, took up
the case of a contested election in Mc-
Intosh county between A. S. Barnwell
and Tunis G. Campbell. The Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections reported
that by counting the precinct of Darien
Campbell was elected, but that one of
the managers was proven not to be a
freeholder; consequently they threw
out the precinct. After which Barn
well was elected by eleven majority
and recommended he be seated. The
report was adopted without discussion
by 71 yeas to 24 nays. A motion was
made to seat Barnwell, but upon the
earnest request of Hoge and Black,
who pronounced the action hasty, it
was withdrawn until to-morrow.
The bill to re-enact the usury law is
the special order for Monday. The fol
lowing bill provoked considerable dis
cussion : To declare the obtaining of
advances on contracts for labor and
abandonment of said contracts, leaving
advances unpaid, a misdemeanor. It
was supported by Jones, of Burke, and
opposed by Speer, Turner, of Brooks,
Livingstone, Harrison and Furlow.—
The bill was lost; yeas, 12 ; nays, 116.
The following passed : To authorize
the Board of Commissioners of Jack
son county to apply $5,600 raised by
special tax to build anew jail, to repair
old jail and pay general indebtedness
of the county,
Four Senators, who oppose the
amendment to the constitution to pro
hibit the payment of bonds declared
fraudulent—Reese, Hester, Peavy and
Kibbee—give as a reason that they fa
vor a convention, and want to submit
the question to the people through a
convention.
The Joint Finance Committee of the
Senate and House will unanimously re
port adversely to the petition of the
Sharp Rifle Manufacturing Company.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES.
CONGRESSIONAL.
The Duty on Sugar to be Restored—
Gen. Custis Lee Claim to Arlington.
Washington, February 9.—Syper, of
Louisiana offered the following reso
lution which was agreed to:
Whereas, As the expenses of the
government require an additional re
venue of from $30,000,000 to 40,000,000-
and whereas by the act of 14th of Feb
ruary, 18<0, the duty on imported su
gars was reduced at the rate of 33%
percent.; and whereas said reduction
of duty diminished the revenue of the
Government 14,000,000 in gold annually
without reducing the price of sugars to
the consumers, therefore be it
Resolved, That the Committe of Ways
and Means be directed to enquire into
the expediency of restoring the duty
on all imported sugars to the rate of
duty imposed by the law previous to
the passage of the aforesaid act.
Howe, of Mississippi, introdueed a
bill to remove the political disabilities
of Isaac N. Brown, of Mississippi.
Jl 8.880(1.
The Sub-committee of Ways and
Means have reported in favor of 20 per
cent, increase on the present tariff on
all grades of sugar, and it is said the ■
full committee have adopted the re
port, and that their till embraces this
feature.
Senate— On motion of Johnston,
of Virginia, the vote by which the bill
referring to the Court of Claims the
claim of G. W. Custis Lee for the
Arlington estate in Virginia was indefi
nitely postponed yesterday, was recon
sidered and the bill was placed on the
calendar with an adverse report John
ston gave notice he would address the
Senate in regard to the bill at an early
day.
Debate on the Message.
In the Senate, Bogy, of Misouri, pre
sented the memorial of the St. Louis
Chamber of Commerce in favor of
opening the southwest pass of the Mis
sissippi river, and remonstrating
against the opening of the south pass
thereof. Referred to the Committee
on Transportation.
Alconn, of Mississippi, presented the
memorial of members of the Bar of
Northeast Mississippi favoring the
passage of the House bill providing
for a District Court at Aberdeen, Miss.
Referred to the Judiciary Committee.
Clayton, of Arkansas, moved that
the message of the President on Ar
kansas be taken up, and referred to
the Committee on Privileges and Elec
tions.
Bayard, of Delaware, said yesterday
an order was made to print the mes
sage and accompanying documents,
which had not yet been complied with.
True, the message was here, but the
accompanying documents had not yet
been printed. He had been informed
that it was the intention of the Senate
to adjourn to-day at the expiration of
the morning hour, as a mark of respect
to the late Senator Buckingham, of
Connecticut, whose funeral took place
to-day. He therefore hoped the mo
tion to refer would not be considered
now, as it would lead to debate, and
there were but five minutes of the
morning hour left,
Clayton said some days ago he pre
sented a memorial from Hon. Joseph
Brooks, of Arkansas, to the effect that
he had been unlawfully kept out of his
office as Governor, and that the me
morial was referred to the Committee
on Privileges and Elections. He (Clay
ton) introduced the resolution calling
upon the President for information, re
ceived yesterday. After presenting
that memorial, it seemed .to him pro
per that the message should go the
same committee as the memorial of
Brooks.
Thurman said ordinarily there was
no trouble about referring a message,
but this was an exceptionable case. It
seemed to him that if anything could
be demonstrated it was the fact that
this message should go to the Commit
tee on the Judiciary. He did not want
to consume time in arguing the matter
now, but he was sure that the mes
sage could not be referred without de
bate, as it was the most extraordinary
and astounding of all messages. He
asked that the unfinished busines of
the Steamboat bill be taken up.
The Vice-President announced that
the morning hour had expired, and
laid before the Senate the Steamboat
bill, it being unfinished business from
yesterday. The Senate then, at 1:05
p. m., as a mark of respect to the late
Senator Buckihgham, of Connecticut,
adjourned.
WASHINGTON.
Probable Favorable Consideration of
the Southern Pacific Road—-No
More Cheap Sugar and Whiskey.
Washington, February 9.—There was
a full Cabinet, except Jewell.
The Senate Committee voted on the
Southern Pacific Railroad bill. The re
sult was a tie. Further action will
await the return of Senator Stewart,
who favors the bill.
Quartermaster Hodges has been re
lieved from duty in the Department of
the Gulf. Quartermaster Darby ha,s
been ordered to Raleigh, N. C. Quar
termaster Hughes has been ordered to
Charleston, S. C.
The Ways and Means Committee
agreed upon the Tariff and Tax bill,
which will be reported to-morrow. The
duty on sugar and molasses is in
creased by 5 per cent, upon present
rates and classifications are not dis
turbed. The tax on whiskey is in
creased 15 cents per gallon on all in
bond and in hands of rectifiers and
wholesale dealers, and 30 cents per
gallon on future manufacture, and an
increase of duty on imported spirits to
correspond with the im rease upon it.
Domestic tax on tobacco increased 4
cents per pound on all manufactured
after the law takes effect. The 10 per
cent, reduction in act of 1872 was re
pealed, and matches are wholly re
lieved from tax. The committee re
fuse by a decided vote to tax tea and
coffee.
Vance, of North Carolina, appeared
before the Committee of Apj ropria
tions, and urged the payment of $370,-
977.17, due Southern mail contractors
for carrying the mails up the 26th of
May, 1861. Referred to a sub-commit
tee.
The rest of the- day’s session was
consumed in a proposition to pay Choc
taw and Chickasaw claims to the
amount of about $4,000,000. They
were rejected, and the Indian Appro
priation bill was passed.
The bill of the Committee of Ways
and Means will be as reported in an
earlier dispatch. The repeal of the
two cent stamp on bank checks will, be
erased from the bill. The argument is
that when the poor man’s tobacco tax
is increased, fhat of the rich man who
can draw bank checks should not be
decreased.
In addition to the details of the biil
prepared by the Ways and Means
Committee, is the abolition of the two
cent stamps on bank checks after this
year.

Charleston, February 9.— The Na

EVERY MOMENT OF DELAY MAKES
your cure more hopeless, and much dependfe
on the judicious choice of a remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of Dr.Schene £ s
Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for consumption,
far exceeds all that can be brought to support
the pretensions of any other medicine. See
Dr. Schenek’s Almanao, containing the cert .-
flcates of many persons of the highest respec
tability, who have been restored to health,
after being pronounced incurable by physi
cians of acknowledged ability. Schenck’s
Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as
these evidences will shows but the cure is
often promoted by the employment of two
other remedies which Dr. Sohenck provides
for the purpose. These additional remedies
are Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic and Man
drake Pills. By the timely use of these medi
cines, according to directions. Dr. Bchenck
certifies that most any case of Consumption
