THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
FRIDAY, MARCH 5,1875.
EQUAL RIGHTS.
The Richmond Dispatch in its com
ment upon the Civil Rights bill, says .
u be seen that the bill touches
only, first, hotels ; secondly, public con
veyances ; thirdly, places of amuse
ment ; and fourthly, juries. A more
stringent law is upon the statute-book
of New York, but has never been en
forced. Negroes must be admitted to
inns, but they may be lodged wherever
the landlord chooses, and if they should
dislike their quarters and sue for
damages, they will not be able
to find easily a jury that will
give them anything. Besides, there
are people to dispose of such negioes
without calling upon hotel proprietors
to kick them out, and without any
words or understanding with su eft r; )-
prietors, or “ aiding or inciting” them
in any way. Observe, there can be no
offense against the law unless the party
offending either himself denies some of
these “advantages,” &c., to negroes,
or else shall “aid” or “incite” some
one else who does so deny them. The
landlord won’t deny them, and the boys
who kick the darkies won’t say a word
to the landlord on the subject. They
will not “ aid” or “ incite” anybody to
deny them, but will simply “ clare de
kitchen.” Such prosecutions and such
suits will not amount to much. The
law will be a dead letter within a year.
“As to public conveyances, negroes
already enjoy their facilities as much
and as fully as whites.
“As to places of amusement, we ap
prehend no trouble. Lester Wallace,
of New York, was sued by several ne
groes of that city soon after the Civil
Rights law of New York was passed,
but he answered that he did not ex
clude them from his theatre on account
of race, color or previous condition of
servitude. The negoes’ counsel asked
the Judge to make Wallace swear to
his answer. Wallace’s counsel ob
jected that to do so would make him
inculpate himself if guilty, no man
could be compelled to testify against
himself. And so the Judge ruled. And
there have been no such suits since,
that we have heard of.
“ The section as to jurors is already
a dead letter. There can be nobody
who will have the right to prosecute
under such a law. There are six thou
sand negro men in Richmond. Which
of them will have this right ? No par
ticular one, and therefore none. Be
sides, the negroes could get nothing
under this section. The prosecution is
bound to be on the part of the Govern
ment, and none of the money goes to
the negroes or anybody else. So this
section is already a nullity here in Vir
ginia, where negroes are summoned
whenever they are needed or wanted.
There are seven thousand white men
in Richmond. Only a few dozen of
them are ever summoned at any one
court; and of course the other six thou
sand nine hundred will have the same
right to prosecute Judge Guigon or
Sergeant Cooe that the negroes may
have. The Judge and the Sergeant
can summon only one man in a hun
dred, and all that are omitted, white
and black, are on the same footing.
Indeed, none of them know but thfey
may be summoned the next month or
the next year. The law does not re
quire any particular man, white or
black, to be summoned this month or
this year. If it did, it would be ab
surd.”
As the Dispatch is a very conserva
tive paper and published at a point
where negroes, if ill-advised, can make
themselves specially obnoxious, we
have reproduced its comments con
spicuously.
The Chicago Tribune , an avowed Re
publican organ of the strictest Central
izing tendencies, is not entirely pleased
with this foolish bill and congratulates
the country that the Supreme Court
can pass it in review. It says :
It would not be surprising if the first
test case on this question should come
from the North; for, while the number
of people in the North who now deny any
of the political rights of the negro is very
small, the number of those who entertain
social prejudices is still very large. The
practice of excluding negroes from the
public dining-rooms of first-class hotels
and the choice seats in first-class theatres
and operas is as general in the ; North as
in the South, and a test-case is as likely to
go to the Supreme Court on one of these
points from Chicago, Boston or New York,
as it is from New Orleans, Louisville or
Richmond. At all events, the issue is for
tunately disposed of until the Supreme
Court shall take it up for review.
The great danger is that the bill will
meet with violent resentment from
some incensed Southern men. The peo
ple of the North have found means of
evading it in a peaceful manner. It will
be strange indeed if our hotel and the
atre proprietors cannot discover the
truth of the old adage that “ there are
more ways of killing a cat than chok
ing her with butter.”
Brownlow. —Parson Brownlow takes
his retirement philosophically. He
says, apropos of his becoming an
editor, “ that he is getting up in the
world ; he is promoted ; he is now in a
position of far more power and res
pectability than being a member of
Congress. Small men, with plenty of
money and no brains, may crawl into
the Senate as the snail crawled to the
top of the pyramid, but such a fellow
can’t run a great newspaper.”
Why the mischief did he not find
that out when an editor in old times ?
Labor. —The Cincinnati Gazette sar
castically observes: “We hear of the
nobility of labor, and we find every
laborer trying to shirk it; of the noble
workingman, the noble mechanic, and
so on, and we find the noblemen
striving to get most pay for least ser
vice, and to rise above their noble
callings as soon as they can. We hear
of the nobility of trade, of our mer
chant princes, of the manufacturers as
benefactors, of the noble learned pro
fessions, and we find all actuated by
the same ambition to get money for
least value. All this talk of nobility of
calling is a cheap and harmless in
dulgence.”
SOME RELIEF.
The New York Bulletin rejoices at
the adjournment of Congress, because
thereby one of the most formidable em- j
barrassments in the path of the Spring
trade will be pushed out of the way.
The same paper says “it is not pleas
ant to be compelled to characterize the
National Legislature as a formidable
embarrassment to the advancement of
the commercial or industrial interests
of the country ; but the entire unanim
ity with which all classes of business
men are expressing the conviction that
‘as soon as Congress is out of the way’
a general revival of trade may be look
ed for, we are constrained to say, dis
closes a popular conviction in that re
spect which cannot well be mistaken.
It can only be hoped that the time is
coming when the reproach will not ap
ply ; but that will only be when the
men who make our laws will have
broader views, a keener moral sense,
{j,nd a more accurate knowledge of
their duties, not to this class nor that
section only, but to the whole country,
than those who are now' upon the
stage.”
The same remarks and objections
seem almost of universal application to
State Legislatures. The country is
governed too much by mere political
hucksters, and the hucksters aforesaid
assemble too frequently for the com
mon weal.
Revivals. —There seems to be a con
sentaneous movement of good people,
of all denominations, all over the
Union, to engage in a revival of re
ligion. The newspapers from every
section teem with accounts of pious
progress. A writer in the Louisville
Courier-Journal, noting this fact of a
clearer moral atmosphere, appeals to
the prayer meetings to make a special
plea for the professional gamblers. We
quote:
“ The prayers of the righteous availeth
much,” says Holy Writ, and seeing what
vast good has already been accomplished
thereby, why not make a special plea to
the throne of Almighty Power on High,
that these hardened, sin-burdened men be
turned from the error of their way before
it be everlastingly too late. Let the Chris
tian people who attend these meetings set
forth a time in which, with one voice, they
shall ask that the vail of darkness by which
the moral perceptions of the gambler are
enshrouded may be rent asunder, and that
he may receive anew heart from on high.
Pray for him, Christian laborers, that he
be taught to fully realize that money ob
tained through dishonor and sin is at the
cost of his own soul.”
We think this a capital idea, with one
amendment, and that is that the special
prayers shall include all gamblers, pro
fessional and otherwise. The man who
gambles unprofessionally need not pray
too vigorously for his professional
brethren, until his own skirts be cleaned
of the offense. *
Righteous Retribution.— lf the peo
ple of the North should lose their lib
erties as a consequence of having,
through greed and hatred, destroyed
the liberties of the South, w r e fail to see
the use of bewailing such righteous
retribution. It is our hope and desire
that all parts of the country may be
once more free and happy; but if the
North should sink into the pit dug for
the South, we need not waste any
tears over the catastrophe.

for stamps for spirits produced from
that date. All spirits produced in the
cistern room or warehouse after mid
night on the 3d inst. will be liable to a
tax of 90 cents per gallon, according to
the provisions of the new bill. Tobacco
or cigars in the hands of manufactur
ers, legally packed and properly stamp
ed prior to midnight of the 3d in
stant, will be charged at the old rate
of 20 cents, but after that time the tax
of 24 cents will be imposed.

Baltimore, March 4.
To H. J. Jewett, President, New York :
I have received your telegram of
yesterday. The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company adheres to its
determination to maintain its inde
pendent relations. It cannot therefore
submit the control of its policy and
business either to other railway com
panies or to third parties. In order to
restore harmony, the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company must retrace its
steps. Reckless reduction of rates by
that Company will prove illusory
in accomplishing the object pro
posed by forcing the Baltimore and
Ohio Company into any combina
tion contrary to the fixed principles
of its management. No Good will
follow from the present extraordinary
course of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The serious lessons which will be
taught by the history of the present
wild hostilities against the Baltimore
and Ohio Company will lead to calmer
counsels, to more good sense and to
fairer dealings in the future. I thank
you for your courteous and friendly
communication.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
CONSUMPTIVES, TAKE NOTICE.
EVERY MOMENT OF DELAY MAKES
your cure more hopeless, and much depends
on the judicious choice of a remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of Dr.Sehenck’s
Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for censumption.
far exceeds all that can be brought to support
the pretensions of any other modieine. See
Dr. Sehenek’s Almanac, containing the certi
ficates 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 show; but the cure is
often promoted by the employment of two
other remedies which Dr. Sehenck provides
for the purpose. These additional remedies
are Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic and Man
drake Piils. By the timely use of these medi
cines, according to directions, Dr. Schenck
certiiles that most any case of .Consumption
may be cured.
Dr. Schenck is professionally at his princi
pal office, corner Sixth and Arch streets,
Philadelphia, every Monday, whore all letters
for advice must be addressed.

CAUTION!
IT IS IMPORTANT to Planters to keep in
mind that SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO
is brought into market by the Pacific Gu
ano Company only, and lhat it must not be
confounded with any other Fertilizer to
which a similar name has been given, with
the prefix of any manufacturer’s name,
such, for example, as A. D. or S.’s Soluble
Pacific Guano. All such are encroachments
upon the legal trade mark of the Pacific
Guano Company, and are calculated to de
ceive consumers desiring the Soluble Pa
cific Guano. Hence we caution Planters, in
ordering supplies, to procure it from the
Agents of the Company, or give specific di
rections to their Factors to that effect.
The name of John S. Reese & Cos., General
