THR CIVIL RIQHT3 AND FORCE
BILLS.
A. Curious Compromise on the Civil
Rights Bill—Democratic Senators
Charged With Surrendering to the
Enemy.
[Special to Baltimore Sun.
INDIGNANT DEMOCRATS.
Washington, February 26.—Some of
the Democratic members of the House
are indignant over what they term the
surrender of their party friends in the
Senate in the matter of the Civil Rights
bill. They say they had a right to ex
pect that the Democratic Senators
would refuse to make any bargain
with the Radicals in regard to this im
portant bill, but would fight it to the
last moment. It may bo said that the
agreement by which the vote is to be
taken to-morrow did not meet the ap
proval of quite a number of the Demo
cratic Senators, who were perfectly
confident of their ability to delay a
vote on the bill beyond the end of the
session, but they were overruled by
their associates. It has, ever since the
Pinch back matter was up, been con
ceded by the Radical Senators that
if the Democrats would present 9
A FIRM FRONT
with their twenty strong, it would be
impossible to get through any political
legislation. Hence this surrender, as
it is called, has been a subject of much
surprise all around. Several of the
Democratic Senators were to-day in re
ceipt of telegrams from their constitu
ents and from prominent gentlemen in
the North, asking the meaning of the
consent to allow a vote to be reached,
as it is considered that the Civil Rights
bill is as much obnoxious to public sen
timent and as gross an invasion of
local self government as any or almost
any other of the political measures
brought forward by the Radical party
in Congress. A Southern Democratic
Senator telegraphed back to-night that
it was done so as to use as much time
as possible to
THROW OVER THE FORCE BILL
to within a day or two of the end of the
session. The same Senator said in
conversation that he was certain that
as soon as a case could be made the
Supreme Court would decide the Civil
Rights bill unconstitutional. He said
further that he did not regard the
Civil Rights bill as of much practical
consequence in its present shape ; that
the State laws in most of the Southern
States conferred privileges pretty much
similar to those in the bill. The pass
age of the Civil Rights bill, he said,
would lose votes to the Republican
party. But the Force bill would cer
tainly give the Radicals the machinery
to carry the next Presidential election.
Therefore, if there was to be any “ sit
ting out,” he thought it wiser for the
minority to husband their strength for
the Force bill. The
JURY CLAUSE
in the Civil Rights bill would, despite
the Senator’s opinion, seem to be of
very material consequence, as it forces
negroes into the jury boxes in all the
States. This is the clause whioh has
heretofore been regarded by Senator
Carpenter as unconstitutional, and it is
to b<^supposed that he still adheres to
that opinion. It is certainly looked
upon as unfortunate that the Demo
cratic Senators should have made any
compromise with the Radicals, for, as
said above, no doubt can be entertain
ed that they had it in their power to
confine legislation for the rest of the
session to the passage of the Appro
priation bills.
The last section of the bill author
izes any case arising under it to be ap
pealed to the Supreme Court, and, of
course, it will not be many days before
a case will be certified to that tribunal.
As questions of such magnitude are at
stake it is understood that the Supreme
Court will advance any case coming
before under the bill on the docket,
otherwise a decision would not bo
reached for two years.
DELIRIOUS DARKIES.
The expressions of the colored peo
ple here indicate that they have very
exaggerated ideas of the effect of this
bill, Many of them seem to imagine
that they can now order a box at the
opera, a dinner at Welcker’s, a section
of a Pullman palace car, or demand for
their accommodation the bridal cham
ber at the Arlington without rendering
any equivalent. Such ideas as these
are bound to beget trouble and possi
bly bloodshed before they are dissi
pated. A Liberal Republican Senator,
in speaking of the evil effects which are
certain to flow from the bill, said that
as a party measure it was suicidal in
the extreme. Said he: “ The Radical
party has got all the negro votes any
how, so it will gain nothing in that di
rection. But, on the other hand, this
thing will array against it all the rail
road interests, all the hotels and tav
ern-keepers, and all the theatre pro
prietors, and the combined influence of
these will affect thousands and thou
sands of votes.”
Uncle Billy Objects to Civil Rights.
[Wallace Putnam Reed in the Independent.
I “ interviewed ” Uncle Billy, a good
colored friend of mine, the other day
on the question of civil rights.
“ Don’t want nuffin mo’,” said Uncle
Billy. “ Got too much already fur dis
niggah.”
“ How is that. Uncle Billy ? Is it
not a good thing to be equal before the
law ?”
* “ Now, Marse Boss,” grunted Billy,
plaintively, “ dar’s jist whar de misery
comes in. We’re ekal befo’ de law an’
dar yer hit our weak pint. Befo’ de
law, ef niggah stole chicken an’ pig,
yer jerked him up, guv him thirty-nine
Ife flaihj (Eaißtitutionali'jt
lashes an’ let him go. But jist let a
cullud pusson try it now ! Yer hauls
him ’foro court and sen’s him to de
penitentiary just like he was one of
yer poor white trash. Dat’s what ’tis
to be ekal ’fore de law !”
I suggested to Uncle Biily that this
might be obviated by being a little
more honest.
“ Marse Boss,” interrupted Billy,
“we can’t run agin natur. It’s nat’ral
fur niggah to steal pig and chicken,
fryin’ size. Yep know it is, an’ ’taint
no use tryin’ to stop us. Now we uns
are willin’ to let you uns alone, and you
all jist let us alone on this pint. Were’
powerful weak on dis pint, Marse
Boss.”
Just here a perverse and disloyal
spirit tempted me to hint to Uncle
Billy that the colored people were in
debted to their Republicans friends for
this change in their status.
“Well, den, Marse Boss,” said he, “all
Ise got to say is, de law’s got to be
changed. Mus’ hab a law for de white
man and a law for de black man.”
Strange as it may seem, some of our
best citizens echo Uncle Billy’s senti
ment. They are inclined to view the
negro’s minor transgressions in a len
ient light, and I know that some of our
Democratic judges impose lighter pen
alties upon colored men for small of
fences than they would do in cases
where the guilty parties were white.
Before Uucle Billy left I asked him
how he would like to sit down at the
table with white folks at the hotels.
“ Great Goddlemightyexclaim
ed the good old man. ‘T allow
youse tryin’ to make fun o’ dis chile.
Why, you knows yourself dat no cullud
pusson ebber lets a white man see ’em
eat if dey kin help it.”
This is strictly true. The ordinary
Southern negro will not eat in the pre
sence of a white spectator.
“Well, Uncle Billy,” I said, “it is very
evident that you don’t want any civil
rights.”
“Not anything mo’, I tank you,” re
plied Billy. “Nearly done ruined now.
Hev to pay my own doctor’s bills, lost
all my money in the Freedmen’s Bank ;
nebber got no forty acres an’ de mule
dey promised me; an’ can’t help myself
to a little chicken, fryin’ size, widout
gwine to de penitentiary. I’se got ’nuff
cibbil rights!”
The above is no production of the
fancy. It is a true incident, honestly
told, and it is impossible to talk to the
country negroes without hearing just
such things as I have related.
A Gigantic Fraud.
[New York Herald.
Practically it is little more than a
reassertion in the form of a law of un
doubted rights belonging to every citi
zen. Legally, railroad companies and
inn-keepers and possibly theatrical
managers were bound to afford equal
accoriimodations to all who were willing
to pay for them before Mr. Sumner be
gan to urge the passage of his bill. We
cannot doubt that these rights so
strenuously denied before will continue
to be refused. The manager of a the
atre will run the risk of a verdict for
damages before seating black men by
the side of white ones in the parquet
and dress circle. It will be some years
before the aristocratic denizens of Sul
livan and Thompson streets will be al
lowed to occupy the boxes at Wallack’s
or Booth’s or Daly’s. In reality the bill
is a pretence, not a measure, and it re
sults in pleasing nobody. Mr. Sumner
would have spurned it from him with
contempt. In omitting the school
clause everything that was vital in it is
destroyed. Nobody supposed, even in
its most radical form, that it was a biil
to make a white man marry his daugh
ter to a negro ; but its great purpose in
Mr. Sumner’s hands was to open all
the public schools to black and white
alike. This being refused it was strip
ped of everything which the law, in so
far as it was operative, did not guaran
tee already. Even the negroes are not
likely to be deceived by so lame and
impotent a conclusion, and we doubt
not that the Civil Rights bill, which oc
casioned so much angry comment while
it was under consideration, now that it
is out of the way, will be forgotten in a
shorter space of time than was re
quired to pass it.
New York World.
The Great Fight on the Force Bill.
On Thursday morning the Demo
cratic Senators held a meeting, at which
only one important point was decided,
and that was to choose a leader in the
Senate to defeat the enemy that was
slowly but surely coming over them.
Senator Bayard was chosen by ac
clamation ; not a dissentient voice was
heard. It was felt that he was best
fitted to lead the fight and win the bat
tle. His great earnestness, his indomi
table perseverance, bis stern exaction
of those he leads in such a contest to
do their full duty, will prove during
the next three days the wisdom of the
choice. When, nine months ago, Sena
tor Bayard took the lead in the aboli
tion of moieties and booty seizure in
the Senate, he gave evidence of his
formidable powers as a leader. That
was only a skirmish ; now he will lead
a pitched battle. And although he can
not overcome a decided majority, he
will nevertheless win.
To understand this great fight thor
oughly, it should be remembered that
on Thursday at 12 o’clock the Forty
third Congress dies; and of course
any bill not passed before that hour
dies with it. The Third-Term bill, or
Force bill, just passed the House, will
have a decided majority in the Senate
if the Senate can only force a vote on
it. The defeat of the bill, therefore,
lies in preventing a vote on it from
Monday until Thursday at 12 o’clock.
It is therefore by no means unlikely
that we may see a seventy-two hours’
session without intermission, from Mon
day until 12 o’clock on Thursday.—
There is no rule in the Senate which
prescribes the time a Senator shall
speak on any subject. The bill can and
will be talked to death. The first ques
tion arises on the physical force and
endurance of the opposition. All this
has been carefully canvassed, and all
necessary arrangements have been
made. There are eighteen Democrats
in the Senate. To these must be add
ed such Independent Republicans as
Senators Schurz, Tipton, Fenton and
Alcorn, making altogether twenty-two
decided opponents to the bill; but all
of these cannot be relied upon to talk.
For this an allowance is made. Six
teen Senators will be found whose
talking will average four hours each,
and therefor if the bill is kept before
the Senate continuously, to the exclu
sion of all other business, sixty-four
hours’ talk will practically kill it.
The Democrats have a further ad
vantage in the Tariff bill, which comes
up as unfinished business on Monday.
Ibis may consume four or five hours.
Nor will the Democrats object to tak
ing up any appropriation bill that can
be decently debated. In fact, they will
not object to the consideration of any
proposed legislation which will cut into
the di eary three days from Monday to
AUGUSTA. GA„ THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 4, 1875.
Thursday. Of those who will stand in
the van of this great fight the tall form
of Senator Bayard, the chosen leader,
will be the most conspicuous. But the
one who is sure to make the long hours
pass away most glibly wil be Senator
Schurz. It is worthy of the man that
the very clo.-ing hours of his present
Senatorial career will be the ones in
which he will serve his adopted coun
try even more than he has done here
tofore, either on the field of battle or
in the Senate Chamber. Nor will the
humorous Senator Tipton be found
silent. Senator Thurman, too, with
a glass of water on his desk, the inevi
table snuff box in his hand, and
a dozen law books on his chair,
is just as good for a six hours
speech as a hungry guest is
good for a one hour’s stay at dinner
And, what is still more to the point,
perhaps the most eloquent and learned
speeches made of late years will be
made by these able men. Gen. Gor
don, Senator Hamilton and Senator Al
corn think nothing of talking five or six
hours, and there need be no fear of ex
haustion. Of course, the tactics of the
enemy have been surmised. The
friends of the bill may consume, and
will no doubt only consume, two or
three hours in debate. Their aim is to
let the Democrats talk themselves tired
—they will only stay to listen. Per
haps some arbitrary motion may be
made to try to cut off debate, but the
rules of the Senate are decidedly
against such a contingency. When
this letter is being read in New York
the battle will presently begin. The
situation reminds one of the 2d Decem
ber, 1851, when a silent, ambitious man
was sitting shut up in the Elysee in
Paris, smoking his inevitable cigar and
poking the sea-coal fire, while the St.
Arnauds, De Morneys, Persignys,
Walewskys, Fleuries and Canroberts
were fighting for him outside. This
fight during the next three days will
be bloodless. But woe to the nation if
the St. Arnauds of the Senate win, for
in that event the future may prove as
disastrous here as it did in France.
IN. Y. Correspondence of Atlanta Herald.
HENRY CLEWS.
What he Has to Say About Mr. Jones’
Statement to the Investigating
Committee—A General Deneral of
Allegations—About Those Bonds—
A Much Abused Man.
Correspondent.—l am sorry to have
trespassed upon your time, sir, and
trust you will excuse the liberty, im
posed upon you only in behalf of en
terprising journalism, I have not come
to gratify any partisanship in the mat
ter, as I am strictly conservative and
merely seek to know your views on the
subject.
Henry Clews—(reiteratively.) I have
nothing to say, nothing at pres--
ent; at least not now.
Here your correspondent started to
readjust his professional badge by
picking up the bundle of newspapers
he had listlessly disencumbered him
self of cs entering, when Henry Clews
(reuniting the scattered threads of the
conversation) observed : Whenever the
State of Georgia treats me right, and
redeems her reputation by paying the
bonds she has repudiated, I will feel
that she has only reciprocated the
kindness I have extended to her. If,
however, she persists in her present
attitude, her bonds will be as worth
less as are (or were) those of Mississippi.
Why, sir, this is nothing but a political
persecution. All my transaccions were
in good faith. I advanced my money
to the State, paying 87 for her bonds,
and here they are to-day (those that I
have undisposed of), not worth the pa
per they are printed on. I sold some
at a sacrifice. In fact (bridling up
with excited enthusiasm) I lost money
in all my dealings with Georgia, and
yet I am held up to public obloquy
and spite by men now in the State
steeped in iniquities, and charged at
the very bar of public opinion with
every species of villainy.
Correspondent—But you are gener
alizing, Mr. Clews. Allow me to read
to you the telegram published in the
New York Herald (proceeding to read.)
I had scarcely reached the ending
of the paragraph, wherein Mr. Jones
initially announces to the committee in
his statement, “If you remember Henry
Clews, was previously to my adminis
tration, financial agent of the State in
New York.”
Henry Clews—That is not true. I
never was financial agent of the State
of Georgia in New York. The Fourth
National Bank was its agent; subse
quently, the Bank of Commerce, and
then, I believe, the agency was trans
ferred again to the Fourth National
Bank.
Correspondent—But, Mr. Clews, you
acted for the State, in her financial op
erations. Do you mean to say that
you were never officially appointed or
legally commissioned ?
Henry Clews—(With stubborn tautol
ogy), I never was financial agent of
the State. I did business for Gov.
Bullock.
Correspondent—Ah, Mr. Clews, I will
say something about Bullock at anoth
er juncture ! But how about the bonds
Mr. Jones distinctly and unqualifiefily
announces you must have paid without
cancelling, and put upon the market
again, thus depriving him of the
knowledge of definitely ascertaining
what bonds had been paid by you ?
Henry Clews—ln the first place, it is
untrue that I refused to make any
statement, or render any accounts. I
did so on several occasions. None of
my statements, however, were ever
heeded, or if they were, they were un
acknowledged to me. Why, sir. I have
sent on statements and communica
tions time after time, to the officials,
and other parties, in Georgia, I have
repeatedly written the Governor, and
no notice whatever has been taken of
my correspondence. As regards th j
payment of bonds, without cancelling
them, that is as ridiculous as it is false.
The cancelling of a bond, which is coin
cident with its payment, would neces
sarily send back the bond to its origi
nal drawer, the State of Georgia, and
by the registry, the Treasurer would
have known what bonds, if any, I had
paid. No, sir, for some reason or
other, my name is lugged in, unfairly
and reflectingly, with certain trausac
tions of the State, and only recently the
Governor, in a legislative message,
mixed me up prejudicially with some
antecedent State affairs.
Correspondent—Are you accused of
dishonorable dealings, or have you
been guilty of wrongs towards the
State, that her officers should becloud
your name ?
Henry Clews—No, sir ; so far as the
Governor was concerned, that was all
for political effect, political capital.
They all know down there in Georgia
that I was a very pronounced Republi
can, a friend and abettor of the na
tional administration, and they take up
the hue and cry against me, to curry
favor with their respective constitu-
encies. If I have acted in bad faith,
why don’t they bring the matter into
the courts. I only wish they would,
and then I would get justice. Georgia
will ultimately have to settle with me
anyhow. Do you know, sir, that they
even went so far as to specify the very
bonds, by the numbers by which they
were classified, or rather registered,
that I held and paid my money for, and
repudiated them. I had, as I said be
fore, sold a number of them, long be
fore I knew they were repudiated. I
sold them in a perfectly legitimate
manner, and in the best faith.
Correspondent—You spoke, in the
incipiency of our interview, Mr. Clews,
of ex-Gov. Bullock. He has not been
in the city, I believe, for about a year.
Henry Clews —You are mistaken, sir,
I have seen him, casually, withiu the
last three weeks, or possibly it may
have been a little longer period. I saw
him by accident, on street. I have
no association or interest in him. I say
if he is guilty wrongs imputed to
him, why don’t the State prosecute
him? He should be followed up and
punished. He is not beyond the reach
and operation of the law. He lives, I
am creditably informed, in Albion, in
this State. I met a gentleman who
apprized me of this fact, and who lately
saw him at that place. No, sir, I am a
heavy loser by all my transactions
with and for the State of Georgia, and
as such I cannot understand the sig
nificance and drift of the popular opin
ion in that State against me. I am get
ting through my affairs here rapidly
as practicable, and I hope soon to be
up again. New York has not, within
her extensive limits, a stone heavy
enough, which, if applied about my
neck, can drag me or keep me down.
Correspondent—Mr. Clews, I thank
you for this free expression of senti
ment, and the conference you have
enabled me to effect. I shall report
you as accurately and truthfully as I
can, and having no prepossessions to
indulge or prejudices to gratify, hope
to chronicle a faithful record of what
has actually transpired between us.
Henry Clews—l am happy to have
made your acquaintance, sir. All of
the allegations in reference to myself,
and my actions relative to the State
bonds, and withholding of full and ex
plicit statements when enjoined to ren
der them, as reported in the Treasurer’s
announcement to the committee, are
without the slightest foundation. The
result of the committee’s investigation
strikes me as establishing rather ne
gligence or incompetency in the Trea
surer’s administration, some singular
oversight or irregularities causing the
discrepancies, than any outside trans
actions or delinquences on the part of
any acting agent.
And here the interview ended ; your
correspondent impressed, both with
the seemingly unvarnished tale of the
ex-banker and broker, injured and cir
cumvented by State inappreciation,
and that surprising elasticity or tem
perament, that enables a man to re
bound from the depths of bankruptcy,
to reassured affluence and position, as
indicated by Mr. Clews in his prophetic
suggestions. Nehoc.

A CARGO OF TEA generally pas-es
through tho hands of live or six par
ties before reaching the consumer, and, of
course, has to leave profit with each, thus
making yery “ dear goods.”
1 have a large assortment of TEAS, and
make a “ specialty ” of them in my busi
ness, regarding the quality and price.
They are bought from the IMPORTER,
direct from CHINA and JAPAN, thus get
ting them from first hands, with only
freight and United States Receiver’s com
mission added to cost in China.
I would say to the public they can rely on
the quality of my TEAS, and the price will
be LOW, because there is only ONE instead
of several profits, as is generally the case.
Retailers furnished in chests, at as low
rates as the same quality can be bought in
large cities.

Two pounds of good Green or Black Tea,
four and a half pounds of good Bio Coffee,
