TRZ “CIVIL RIGHTS" INFAMY ITT
NORTH CAROLINA.
How the “Civil Hights” monstrosity is
likely to affect society in North Osrolinn is
thus discussed by a gentleman who writes
from Raleigh, nml who evidently knows
what he ia talking about:
“Tiio passage of the Civil Rights hill, so
called by a most miserable misnomer, is
regarded in North Carolina as a great ca
lamity to the entire country. The view
taken of this net of Congress by Rome,
perhaps by ninny, is that, we can stand it if
our fellow-citizens of other States can.
Not even the most inUlligent and moder
ate men in the community can find any
excuse for such a piece of legislation.
The negroes, ns a cluwi, are liars, and,
moreover, thieves; hut their outrageous
impudence is their most troublesome and
aggravating peculiarity. The treatment
of negroes like human beings; the provid
ing for them suitable and sufficient acenm
(uodaliom in traveling; their admission,
under proper r< strietions, to churches,
theaters and other entertainments, not
alone of a public but even of a private
diameter, all this is no hardship to North
Carolinians, for the reason that ever since
the war these privileges have been fully
ami freely accorded to them. For the
negro iu liis appointed place -that place
which God in liis wise providence has
designated for him -there is no sentiment
f cruelty, or even niikindness, anywhere
in this (State, Imt the exact contrary. Hut
it is this ingrained, congenital, constitu
tional element of insolence ill the negro
diameter which wo object to, mid which is
tine of his dominant traits. It is this which
it is feared may cause trouble in the prac
tical operation of tlm Civil Rights hill. It
is apprehended by many of the people
here that impudent negroes mny attempt,
under ita supposed warrant, to try conclu
sions with the whites and to force them
selves into hotels, and into Indies’ ears and
wloouh on railroads ami steamboats, and
that they may do this insolently and with
intent nnd purpose to insult the white
people. Of course trouble must he the
e lusequonee. Mingled with the quiet and
suppressed, but nevertheless intense senti
ment of indignation which pervades the
white race everywhere nnd in every nook
and corner of North Carolina, at the ratill
cation of this crowning Radical iniquity,
there is a spirit of forlienrance and of hope,
trust in that benignant future which
shall, ultimately and in due season, repair
ud avenge all those grievous wrongs.
Timo is the great healer, nnd the people
f the .South will wait fi r th - vindication
which will speedily he brought to them in
a returning sense of justice and magna
nimity on the part of their Northern
brethren. They know that blood is to
♦hem as to us, thicker than water; and
they rust assured that the great Common
wealth of the North will not submit or
consent to tin-degeneration of the common
Anglo-Saxon race.

Letter from Major H. G Dcnniston, j
La*e A. A. A G., 2d Brigade Ist !
Div sion Fifth Army Corps.
Savannah, (la., March 23, 1875.
KtUUtr Imlejienileiit:
A Northern mail, nml whose interests;
lire identified with ifiy home, you have
asked mo to express freely to you my sen
timents of the Hoiiih and its people. J
have always been somewhat of a politician
not a partisan, in the strict sense of the ;
word, for tiff* two terms are not the same;;
the one being Identified with that which
tends to the general good, while, the other
shaped only to a per onal end, nnd this
very often through corrupt motives. Ia
my later school days, many of my com
panions were gentlemen’a sons from the
South, nnd the friemlaliipa then and there
formed were of the most pleasing clinrnc
ler, nnd have continued to be so np to the
present time. When the Month seceded
from the union of States, I doubted the
policy of her doing so. If ho had griev
ances, (and the Inal many) to my mind it
were better to battle and have them right
ed in the Union, nnd not out of it. I be
lieved a compromise could have been ef
fected, and it should have been so. When
secession and war wns inevitable, nnd the
cannons began the fray nt Sumter, I en
listed under the, “Old Flag," nml followed
the fortuniA of the North, (I speak now
. of the masses,) simply for the purpose of
preserving the Union intact, and fur no
other purpose. I eared not for slavery
simply for the union of the Statis and
when the slaves were emancipated, I re
| garded it, nnd still regard it, as u military
j verms it;/, simply to preserve thnt Union.
Ho it was. I believe to this day that
I slavery was a blessing and not a curse to
! the negro population as a mass, in the
South, and every year since their emanci
pation, their condition verifies the fact in
the demoralized and constantly depraved
status of the race. They do not improve
under freedom they retrograde. An a
military necessity, emancipation was right
-it closed the war, and saved the Union,
To the slaves, themselves, it was a wrung,
for if nt all ernancipntior should have been
gradual. To any candid mind, North
or Smith, Ibis fact, ia obvious; and the
most biller Radical, if not a fool, or knave,
corning South, and looking over these
States and seeing tho effects, must ac
knowledge it. Win n the war closed, ull
; hostility should lmvn ceased, and the gen
j eml good of tho whole country should
Imvc occupied the attention of our Natio i
|id Councils. This would have been poii
; tic but. right here, tlie partisan stepped
! in, and in the shape of corrupt men the
' majority of whom consnlteU a polity of keep
ing at mnjit ifctoii ctixtanren. During the war
these ne ii Hunted to the nurfuee. and sel
fishness in greed and gain was their only
; aim. These men eontrolcd tho people bv
the cry of rebel I rebel ! nt succeeding elec
tions tho true politicians were to them
eopper-lieiuls—and crazy partisans, ever
; ready to start and filch from the treasury,
were the truly lny.il. Home men iu the
South acted wrongly, uml gave pretexts
lor these rascals to prate upon—and news
papers North, to eko out an efisteoee, as
the case might be, doled forth the silliest
trash. Tho universal suffrage bill was the
pet of these shysters, because it flooded
the Smith with ignorant voters, whom tjiey
might shape and mould to their purposes,
by making tho negro believe they were liis
friend. This bill was tlie greatest curse
thnt ever was placed upon tho people of
the Union, black or white- -for good gov
ernment is i,ot the offspring of ignorance.
Ignorant, unintelligible suffrage conduces
always to corruption ami absolute anarchy.
Samples of this we have in South Carolina,
Jamisiium and other States, where the
newly emancipated ami ignorant negro is
tho controlling vote. Well, to keep in
place nnd power, this Radical ring of gov
ernment thieves, have continued to usurp
authority, nnd pass monstrous and illegal
bills np to the present moment. And
wlmt is the result? Tlie country, for the
past two years, lias been on a strain of
bankruptcy. Business nud commercial
pursuits have become paralyzed, and tlie
future is full of foreboding gloom. Nor
has the negro been benefited. Ho Ims
sank lower and lower as an element of
labor, ns ho truly is, and can be hardly de
pended upon. He Ims become idle and
thriftless, because frent lorn to him in couplet!
with ini/olence, nml where bo lm become a
politician, he is always u nuisance and a
vagabond, Columbia, Month Carolina, ex
emplifies (ids. The Civil Rights Bill is a
civil curse to both luces, nud will prove so
in time. There is nothing in it that will
lend to elevate the black race, but every
thing to make it impudent, presumptions,
and lower it. It eun never bring the ne
gro to the status of tlie white ; but its
white advocate will surely go to that of
the negro. Tlie North never asked it, nor
can tlie hill be enfold'd there, nud the ne
gro is better off South than North, who
would avail himself of its provisions. The
great North will never make the negro an'
equal, nor do they wish to force such a
state of affairs upon sister States South.—
Several generations have passed aw ay since
the North emancipated their slaves, but,
iu spite of alt this, the social repugnance
between the races Ims never become ob
literated. Let me tell the colored race of
Georgia Unit they are eminently better
treated to day. in their State, than are the
negroes of Massaclmsi Its, Vermont or any
other Rudival State. If they don’t believe
it, they laid better go tlu-re and become
disabused of the idea they have. I’romts
cnons social intercourse is to be found no
w here oil this continent. The true course,
now that the blacks are free, is to cultivate
in tho negro the pride of nice. Teach
them that no promotion is leal Hint dues
not come from absolute merit, and that
while the contention for equality of rights
is ennobling, every form of social jire
snmnti m is contemptible and debasing.
But, Mi. Editor, the race of the Radical
partisan is about run. Ilis abuse of power.
good government, have awakened the j
North from its lethargy. Last fall’s elec
tions were but the precursors of the great
coming storm thnt will sweep them out of
existence ; and there is yet hope for a
greut hut abused nlld distracted country,
Wliat now effects the fair sunny South is
effecting the whole nation. The limbs
cannot be gangrened nml the body remain :
unaffected. The name of “Rebel" nml
“Copperhead” ate becoming obsolete
words, and the name of American citizen
will he tin- rallying cry. Two more years
of Grant, nnd the day dawns. The PlE
oans will receive the attention of United j
States soldiers, and American citizens Will
riot ho esteemed *• banditti ” when they
. dare to assert their lawful rights. Satraps
! will “he afraid” to call them “banditti,"
and military bluster will bo succeeded by
; civil power.
I cannot but admire the discipline with
which your great people haVesubmitted to
| indignity and humiliation. God made
; them gentlemen, gave them dignity, uml
; they exemplify it in their every net and
| conduct. This is moral heroism, and they
| deserve the meed of all praise. For four
winters I have been iu Georgia, nlld in all
I that time I have seen no Kn-Khix, or been
treated with an indignity. I have met with
great social courtesy and hospitality al
ways. I suppose it is because I am judged
j by the company I. keep ; thin "'ill hold good
the irnrld or nr.
And now, in conclusion, lot mo only add,
that I hope to see the (lay when the two
great sections w ill be better acquainted,

They ought to he, and must, for their in
terests are imleotieal. When this is done,
they will ho bound together by clamps

: in New Hampshire by Republican
organs was that the Democrats L id im
ported two “rebel Generals,” Gordon and

Mr. Fred. \Y. Symons, for a number ot
years connected with the press of our city,
and who a few mouths ago was admitted
to practice law in tlie courts of Georgia,
made his maiden effort in a criminal ease
on tho 241 h instant, before magistrate
Russell, appearing ns I tie attorney for a
negro girl ebarged with the offense of as
sault and buttery. Although tailoring un
der the excitement of the moment, Mr.
Symons made an able and lurid ajH-eeh in
behalf of bis cheat, which had the effect
of n> eming a verdict of discharge, nud so]
the gill was set scot free. A pood begin

A difficulty occurred in A lanta, on the
IBth instant, between n Mr. Hunt, a rail
road conductor, and n Mr. Brsntly, which ;
resulted in the latter getting Ill’s nose
broken and sustaining some oilier injuries
alsint the face. The particulars of the
affair as they were gleaned from those
present were, that the parties met nnd ex
changed a few word* relative to an old
grudge, when Mr. Brsntly attempt! and to
draw a pistol, whereupon Mr. Hunt struck
him with a walking rune across the nose,
breaking the usul nud one of the motor ;
Ihhick. The blow broke ttie cane. The
wounded man wns carried to tlie drug
store of Messrs. Hurt & Browu, and his
wounds dresst'd by Dr. -J. T. Love. No
arrests have been made.
UTinsatal complications have arisen from
the failure of W. L. Lumpkin A Cos., o!
Forsyth, and noue more strange than the
suit brought by a Mr. Howard against
Messrs. Tison ,t Gordon.
It appears that Messrs. Tison A Gordon
received forty-two bales ot cotton from
Bolingbroke, on the Macon & Western
branch of tlie Central road, and a letter of
advice from \V. L. Lnmpkiu A Cos., in
structing them to hold tlie same for fur
ther orders. The same firm sent to Messrs.
Tison A' Gordon a railroad receipt for
same, made out to T J. Howard nud e
(forstntby him. thus giving a complete nud j
decisive transfer of nil his right, title and t
interest in the samo to the holder of the
said railroad receipt,
It will therefore be a matter of surprise
to the commercial community to learn that
suit was instituted by Mr. Howard for the
recovery of tlie cotton.— Sur. Advertiser. '
