F THE CIVIL BRIGHTS THE WOBKING One The majority in Congress, in their eagerness, before the power passes from them. to estab- lish negro equality—social, legal, and politi- cal—seem fated to defeat this end by their own hasty and imperfect legislation. Thus, until they adopt the views of the President as to the status of the Southern States, their pet scheme, the Civil Rights bill, will be inoperative in the ‘very section it was intended to affect. Theex- cution of the law is entrusted to the Judiciary of the United States, which Judiciary is not organized in the excluded States, and Chief Justice Chase says cannot be organized until Congress prepares the way by appropriate le- gislation. The radicals must abandon part of | their policy if they wish to ensure the com- plete success of the remainder. Thus the Teadiest way to make the Civil Rights law Operative in the Southern States, and to bring | the leaders of the rebellion to trial, will be to ‘Qdopt the President's policy ofa speedy resto- ation of the federal relations of the eleven States now held as territories. Territories do mot have the benefit of the Federal Judiciary, @ccording to Chief Justice Marshall who said: | “These Courts, then, are not Constitutional Coarts, in which the judicial power conferred by the general Government can be deposited: ‘They are incapable of receiving it.” Thus the law is immediately operative only in the northern and border States, in most of which its strict enforcement will give but little satisfaction. This 1s particularly the case in those States which, like Connecticut, are op- posed to negro suffrage, and those which, like indiana, legislate against the negro. The le- gal contests certain to ensue will doubtless strengthen the opponents of the radical policy, and will, we fear, im the end cause a reaction Zatal to the best interests of the colored people- One of the first test cases reported is in Lafay- @tte, Indiana, where a colored man named Barnes brought suit against a prominent citi- zen toenforce a contract. The defendant, for @uswer, sets up that the negro came into the State in violation of the thirteenth article of the constitution of the State of Indiana, which, under pains and penalties, prohibits negroes trom coming into the State, and debars them from all rights to enforce contracts, etc., etc. ‘The plaintiff demurs to the answer, main- taining that the thirteenth article is void and of no effect, because: 1. It is in contravention of the letter and spirit of the Constitution of the United States. 2. It isin direct conflict with the constitutional amendment abolishing slave- Fy. 3. ltis void under the first section of the Civil Rights bill, which gives to all persons born in the United States tull right to make and enforce contracts, any law, statute, ordi- Rance, regulation or custom to the contrary Rotwithstanding. Under the second section of the Civil Rights bill, Judge Gest can only de- ide in favor of the negro, for the reason that an adverse decision would subject him to the Penalty of one thousand dollars fine and im- Prisonment. Several interesting cases under this law are also reported in Baltimore an account of which ‘we publish to-day. The probabilities are that the constitutionality of the act will be tested @t an early day. OPPOSITION TO FREEDMEN’S SCHOOLS. ‘The Inspector of the Freedmen’s Bureau at ‘Warrenton, Va.. reports, concerning the recent Manifestations of hostility towards the freed- men onthe part of the people of Fauquier County, that there can be no doubt of an insult- ing and mischievous element in the popula- tion. He is pleased, however, to state that the Socially respectable people take decided ground —at least in conversation and m writing— against rowdyism and all interference with the Assistant Superintendent and the colored ®chool teachers. He says of the two attacks recently made upon the school house and abuse of the lady teacher, that they are not, as the Richmond Times has twice stated in edi- torials, “either inventions or dreams of the lady, resulting from eating mess pork for sup- per,” as the Mayor has recognized the truth of the report made to the Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Bureau, and the Town Councils ave passed an ordinance on the subject, making it the duty of the local police to protect the school, and have offered a reward for the perpetrators of these outrages. HON. D. 8. DICKINSON’S SUCCESSOR. 5S. J. Courtney, Esq., son-in-law of the late Daniel S. Dickinson, bas been. appointed United States District Attorney for the Southern Dis- @ict of New York.

Let the States give the freedmen all civil rights, and by degrees extend to them the rightof suffrage. Or else let an amendment of the Constitution make one rule of suffrage for all the States, ‘This attempt of Congress to interfere with the Tights of the States after the war power ceases is & usurpation of power unknown to the Con- stitution, and subversive of the whole theory of republicanism, as based upon the old Consti- tution of the United States.” Mr. Clay was an original emancipationist, and one of the most honest and earnest Repub- licans in the country.

About the most refreshingly icy thing of this muggy weather, was the proposal of Mr. Ste- vens, in the House to-day, for that body to take stock in the Washington Morning Chronicle. Mr. Stevens’ resolution proposing to bleed the contingent fund ofthe House for the sup- port of that paper ran to the effect that «“where- as it is important that our legations abroad should be kept duly advised of the state of the country, therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring, that the Clerk of the House be requested to furnish three copies of the Washington Morning Chron- icle to each of our foreign legations, consulates and commercial agencies, and pay the same out of the contingent fund of the House.” Mr. Stevens bad the nerve to ask a suspension of the rules to carry his resolution through, but the House couldn't exactly stand the dose, and in this instance, at least, tailed to “follow my leader.” PERSONAL AFFAIRIN THESENATE, In the Senate to-day rather an extraordinary scene occurred, creating no little sensation for a time on the floor and in the galleries. On the question under debste concerning a branch of the Union Pacific Railroad, Mr. McDougal charged that his colleague was animated in his action by personal motives. Mr. Conness made a bitter reply, allezing that his colleague mis- represented and disgraced his State, and tha; nothing but a feeling of charity had prevented bim (Mr. C.) from moving his expulsion. Mr. McDougal in answering Mr. Conness, pro- ceeded to tell a story which rather astonished the ladies in the gallery, and was deemed so objectionable by the President of the Senate that he interposed to stop its further narration, Mr. McDougal proceeded with a personal ex- planation at some length, but in atone inau- dible in the reporters’ gallery. ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS. The Reconstruction Committee to-day re ported a large mass of testimony, including that of Alexander H. Stephens. Hespoke from extensive correspondenee and conversations from ieading men of Georgia, giving as his de- liberate opinion that the people of that State are exceedingly anxious for the restoration of the Government and for the State to take her former position in the Union and to enjoy all her rightsand discharge her obligations as a State under the Constitution of the United States as it stands amende!. The people are sufficiently satisfied with the experiment of se- cession never to resort tothat measure of re- dress again by force. They have come to the conclusion itis better to appeal to the powers of reason and justice, to the halls of legislation and the courts forthe principles of constitn- nal liberty than to the arena of arms, The idea of secession is totally abandoned. fstasspeel settee lease Ir gl PERSONAL BXPLANATIONS IN THE HOUSE The air at the Capitol to-day was charged with explosive matter. The House had its personal affair as well as the Senate, in the shape of a sharp little encounter between Messrs. Conkling and Raymond, all about a paragraph in the New York Times concerning crease of the salary of U.S. District Judges. Referred to Judiciary Commitiee. Mr. Morgan presented the concerrent reso- lation of the New York Legisiature, asking Congress to 2 $575,060 to pay for clothing farntshed'to soldiers sm the war of Ish. .

Referred to the Finance Committee. Mr. Anthony offered a resolation iustracting the Military Committee to inquize whether the full Army Register has been compiled im ac- cordance with a resolution of March 7, 1565, ‘What its cost would be,etc. Adopted. Mr. Williams presented the petition of the Orgen City Manufacturing Company, setting forth that they are engaged in tbe manufactore of woolen cloths; and they are compelled to pay 8 tax first on the raw material, and then on the manufactured articicle. They ask a modification of the Internal Revenue law that shall ask them to pay but one tax. Referredto the Finance Committee. Mr. Howard called up Senate bill to rescind the order of the President designating the Sioux City and Pacific Railroad a branch of the Pacific Railroad. Mr. Howard said the order referred to was issued by President Lincoln, December 25, 1554. Mr. Grimes offered 4 subsutute for Mr. Howard's bill, requining the Sioux City and Pacitic Railroad to construct their Pacitic branch upon the best and most direct rouze, subject of the future approval of the President of the United States. Hovsr.—As usual on Monday, the States were called for bills and reso. utions, and a large number of each were presented, among them the following By Mr. Hill, of Indiana—A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution, busing representation on voters. Referred to Reconstruction Committee. Py Mr. Hayes, of Ohio—A resolution in- structing the Military Committee to inquire in- quire into the expediency of providing for the punishment of persons collecting claims trom the Government without proper authority for sodoing. Adopted. By Mr. McKee, of Kentucky—A resolution requesting the President to. commanicate any correspondence with the French Government in relation to the withdrawal of the French troops from Mexico. Adopted. By Mr. Ingersoll, of Illinois—A resolution instructing the Committee on the District of Columbia to inquire into the expediency of re- porting a Jaw establishing the Eight Hour sys- tem as constituting a days work in the District of Columbia. During the consideration of the resolution the morning hour expired and the resolution was laid over. Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, moved to sus- pend the rules to enable him to offer a resolu- tion providing tor the furnishing of three copies of the Washington Chronicle to our Foreignde- gations, the same to be paid for out of the con- tingent fund of the House. The House refused to suspend the rules, yeas SO, nays 44—two-thirds not voting in favor thereof. - After some personal explanations by Messrs. Whaley and Kogers the House resumed the con- sideration of the Army bill. TELEGRAPHIO NEWS.
