WasiiNGron, October 14.—A decision was rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States to-day in five civil ! rights cases, based on the first and sec- ond sections of the civil rights act of e March 1st. They are respectively prose- 1 Gations under the act for not admitting certain colored persons to equal accom- medations and privileges in inns or ho- tels, in railroad cars and theaters. The court held that Congress had no constitu- fional authority to pass the sections in qeestion under cithor_ the 15th or 14th at.eadments to the constitution. The decision however, is held to apply only tq its validity in States and not in Ter- ritories or the District of Columbia, where the legislat ve power of Congress is unlimited as far as the statutes are concerned. The two sections of the law above roferred to are declared unconsti- tional and void. Justice Bradley ren- deved the opinion, Justice Harlan dis- senting. THB DECCSION IN DETAIL. The most important decision rendered 7 by the Supreme Court of the United g States to-day was that in five cases com- monly known as civil rights cases, which wore submisted to the court on printed arguinents about a year ago. The titles of these vases and States from which they came ars as follows: No. 1, United States against Murray Stanley, from United States Circuit Court, district of Kansas; No. 3, United States against Michael Ryan, from the United States Circuit Court, district of California; No. 3, United States against Samuel Nichols, from the United States Circuit Court, western district of Missouri; No. 26, United States against Samuel D. Single- ton, from the United States Circuit Court, for the seuthern district of New York, and No. 28, Richard A. Robinson and wife against the Mem- phis & Charleston railroad company from the United States Circuit Court for the District of Tennessee. Those cases were 11 based on the first and second sections of the civil rights act of 1875 and were respectively prosecutions under that act for not admitting certain colored persons to equal accommodations and privileges in inns or Lotels, in railroad cars and in theaters. The defense set up in every D T e T e P UL A A - “_Ut.;.,, T HIRTEEL .. ““uber ™ that the act of 1875 can be supported by it. Fourth--That this decision affects only the validity of the law in States and not in Territorie the District of Columbia, where the legislative power of Congre ig unlimited and it does not undertakoe to decide what Congress might or might not do under the power to regulate commerce with foreign nations and amongst the swveral States, the law not being drawn with any such view; that t is tho opinion of the court that he first and second acts of Congress March 1st, 1875, ontitled ‘‘An act to protect all citizens in their civil and legal rights” are unconstitutional and void and judgment should be rendered case was allegad unconstitutionality of the law. The first and second sections of the act, which were the parta directly +in controversy, are as follows: SEc, 1. That all persons within the juris- \ diction of the United States shall be entitled to full and equal enjoyment, accommodations, ¥ advantages, facilitios’ and privileges of inns, ' publio conveyancos on land and water, thea- ters and other places of public amusement, Sybject only to conditions and regulations es- tablished by law and applicable alike to every e s A dition of servitude. Sko, 2. Provides that any person whe vio- 1ates the first section shall be liable to forfeit ‘ $500 for each offence, to be recovered in civil action, and also to o penalty of from 8500 to $1,000 fine or imprisonment from_thirty days to's year, to be enforced in criminal prosecu- tion, Kxclusive jurisdiction is given to the ‘ District and Circuit Courts of the United States in cases arising under the law. The right and privileges claimed by and denied to colored persons in these cases were full and equal accommoda- tions in hotels, in ladies’ cars on railway trains and in dress circles in theatres. The court, in a long and carefully pro- pared opinion byJustice Bradley, holds Firet—That Congress had no- constitu- i tional aushority to pass these sections under either the thirtcenth or fourteenth amendments to the constitution, Second—That the fourteeath amend- ment is prohibitory upon States | only, and that the legislation authorized to be adopted by Congress for enforcing that nmuu&mnm is not direct l legislation on matters respecting whizh { states are prohibited from making or en- forcing certain laws or doing certain acts, but is a correction of legislation neces- sary or proper for counteracting and re- dressing the effects of such law or acts; that in prohibiting states for example to ] ) deprive any person of liberty orJ)rogeyty without due process of law, and giving Congress power to enforce the prohibi- "fo# vaari; tion, it was not intended to give Congrese “ power to provide due process of law for the protection of life, liberty and property (which would embrace almost all subjects of legislation), but to pro- vide medes of redress for counteracting the operation and effect of state laws ob- noxious to the prohibition, Third —That the thirteenth amendment gives no power to Congress to pass the sections referred to, because that amend- ment relates only to slavery and involun- tary servitude, which it abolishes u{nd gives Congress power to pass laws for its enforement; that this power only extends to the subject matter of the amendment itsalf, name'y, slavery and involuntary servitude and the necessary incidents and consequences of this condition; that it has nothing to do with the different races or colors, but only refers to slavery, the legal equality of different races and classes of citizens being provided for in the fourteenth amendment, which pro- hibits States from doing anything to in- terfere with such equality; that it is no infringe rent of the thirteenth amend- ment to refuse to any person equal ac- commodations and privileges in an iun or place of publio_entertainment, however be violative of ; it may his legal rights; that it imposes upon ( him no badge of slaver or involuntary servitude which imply some sort of subjection of one per- son to another and incapacity incident thereto, such as inability to hold proper- ty, to make contracts, be parties in court, ete., and that if the original civil rights act which abolished these incapacities might be supported by the thirteenth amendment, it does not therefore follow upon the indictments accordingly. At the conclusion of the reading of Judge Bradley's opinion, which occupied more than an hour, Justice Harlan said, under ordinary circumstances and in an ordinary case he should hesitate to set up his individual opinion in opposition to this eight colleagues, but in OMAHA, NEB.

SaN Francisco, October 15,—Suspic- ions have for sometime past existed that many Chinamen have been permitted to land from Chinese stcamers, who, under tho restriction act, are not entitled to that privilege. The loop hole was dis- covered to exist under article second of the treaty, which permits any Chinaman, other than laborers, to come to the Uni- ted States if provided with a certificate issued by the Chinese Government iden- tifying him as engaged in other pursuits than that of laborers. The steamer Rio Janerio, which arrived Saturday, brought 132 Chinamen, for San Francisco, 77 of whom held trader's certificates issued by the officials of the Chinese government. Notwithstanding the strongest external evidence of their being ignorant laborers, they were, with the exception of six, permitted to land. The steamer Coptic, which arrived last week, brought 114 Chinese, 54 of whom held similar cectifi- cotes issued by officials of the Chinese customs. Fully 90 per cent of both lots belonged to the common class of work- men. When..the ~circumstanves were called "to the attention of the custom house officials the reply was they had no power to go back of the Chinese govern- ment's certificate. e ————— The Railroad Commission Business. CH10AGO, October 156.—Oflicials of the Pennsylvania company deny that the re- sumption of payment commissions by that company means high commission rates 80 a8 to eventually precipitate a war and cause stoppage of payment of commissions entirery. They claim they have no such purpose, but, intend to pay about the same rates as competitors in order to secure their proportion of busi- ness, and that they intend to stay in the commission field indefinitly, believing it necessary in order to securé their share of business. e —— Striking sw.tchmen. St. Louts, October 14.—The switch- men on all the roads centering in St. Louis and East St. Louis entered on a general strike for shorter hours and higher wages at noon to-day. They de- mand ten hours as a day's work, extra pay for Sunday, and thirty cents per hour for all time over ten hours, besides 806 per month of twenty-six working days. The strikers number about 600 in St. Louis and Kast St. Louis, The strike will probably cause a blockade of freight in Kast St. Louis. The Denver & Rio Grande. New Yong, October 15.—The direc- tors of the Denver & Rio Grande accept- ed the resignation of Vice.President Myer and elected August Engler in his lace, The syndicate to take the new Denver securities is composed of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., Lovejoy, Woerishoeffer, Cammack, Cassatt, Hallgarten, Scott and Rutter.

The Secretary of State is requested to sock, through the American logation, courteous and complimentary relaxation of bar and other rules which may at present deny United States counsel the right to appear and plead in the caso in connection with the eminent gentlemen of the English bar already retained for the defense. 8 S FOR THE DEFE! . October 15.—Witnesses for the O'Donnell trial now at Cape Town leave immediately for England.

H2 pointed out the conflict in the evidence in regard to O'Donnell’s explanation to Mrs. Carey after he had shot her hus- band. The recorder said it would be the sworn duty of the jury to return a true bill fer murder against O'Donnell. The motion to postpone the trial will be heard next Wednesday. X THE DREFENSE FUND, New York, October, 15.—General Roger A. Prior sends the following cable to Patrick Ford, editor of The Irish World: “Rumor that 1 have advised against further subscriptions for O'Don. nell's defense is utterly untrue.

The Latest Rclnarfahlc Utterances o Vanderbilt, Directed to His Brethren on Wall Strect. The Old Man's Bile Drawn Out as His Diluted Pile Di~ minishes, Stocks on the Downward Road, and Liable to Remain There. The Pool Swindle fand Its Effcct— The Rapid Rise in Pacific Malil Shares. Spocial Dispatch to Tur Brk, New York, October 16.—Riggiolo in “In and Out of Wall Street,” in the Sun, says: It is a singular thing,” said, after reading the Vanderbilt interview, a well known broker, usually very reserved in 1 | his language, “‘that Mr. Vanderbilt can never speak on any subject of public in- torest; he always barks. damned,” ‘squealers,’ ‘sneak thieves,’ ‘liars,’ such and similar are tho terms of his elegant vocabulary. Verily, this is pushing horse sharpers and stable-boy's language a little too far. Hosays,among other handsome things, that ‘there is something in the very appearance of tho Bears which makes them look like sneak thieves.” Now who are our representa- tive Bears? W. R. Traverse,J. R. Keene, A. Cammack, 0. H. Woerishoffer, Ben Carver and a few more men of that class, who are every one of them an AN ADONIS AND A CHESTERFIELD when compared to William H." Wall street circles are full of this kind of comment, both up and dewn town, and will probably remain so for some dnys to como. With tho oxception of Mr. Kussell Sage, there is not an intelli- sont man to bo found to approve Mr. Vanderbilt's utterances. Their effect upon the massos of peeplo throughout the length and breadth of this country and of Burope will be just tho reverse of what Mr. Sage anticipates. The least the people will do is to laugh at umm.| Fancy a man like Mr. Vanderbilt talk- ing about gentlemanly instincts and the rapacity and greediness of men. It seems as if, when money becomes the question, men lose gentlemanly instincts, and stoop it is. As if people c{uvuuho\lt the length and breadth of this country and Europe did not know anything about Mr. Vanderbilt's wom of money or his unscrupulous rail and stock ope- rations, But the point which must ap- pear PARTICULARLY STRIKING to any l::c&five reador of }O.llut :’w“'hh;; terview is: Mr. W. H, Vanderbi says that his lon?‘l‘nr'zxm losing anything in stock speculations, has increased th 82,000, loft him by his grandfather to ,000,000. ‘‘He is one of the breed.” ‘‘He can buy all the bearsup.” ‘‘Cut him loose among the bears and he will take care of himself.” Now for nearly two years the market has been going ntuldi.lly down. Theshrinkage in Wall street val- ues during that time is estimated at sumuthing like $1,000,000,000. It is during that period that the young Mr. Vanderbilt has become prominent as a stock speculator. All the stock he was known to be interested in have gone down from 30 to 560 per cent. Therefore the question which naturally suggests itself is: How could he have made any money on the bull side of the market in such circumstances? IT 18 EVIDENT that his father's statement is not correct. Either the young gontleman has lost a great deal of money if ho was operating on the bull side, or if he made $6,000,- 000 or any other amount, he did so on the bull side; that 1s to say, he was work- ing hand and gloves with those whom his father calls “sneak thieves.” There are shrewd old Wall street men, however, who put a very peculiar interprotation on the subject of this interview. They say that the wholo thing is a mere manouvre to cover a rotreat; that tho young Mr, Vanderbilt did unquestionabl Ymm o great deal of money, and that W, paid it, because the loss was made to pro- tect his intercst. A prominent operator, who does not scem to care about the per- sonal attacks of Mr, Vanderbilt upon the bears, said yesterday: *‘The Vanderbilt dynasty nm{umw are one, and W. K Vanderbilt was moroly o bait thrown out to induce people to buy stocks by appar- ently bulling the market, y this means he was to help the old man to sell out his stocks to the large and wealthy following of the young and dashing spec- ulator, but he failed—the attempt was too vast, and people were too distrersed by the paralysis of trade, Thus, the \’mderb' ts accumulated more stocks ine stead of reducing their holdings, Now William H, TAKES OFF THE MASK and says that he goes into Wall Street again to buy stocks, he has not retired, he is loaded, and W. K. Vanderbilt is the victorious sacrifice for the old man’s losses,” There is only one pleasant feature in all the public comments upon this epi- sode and that is that not a word is said against the young gentlemen, all the good. wishes aro with him, and if the in- terview settles the father, it does no’ in anyway hurt the son, who is spoken of everywhere as a brave, dashing thorough- bred. There is some comfort in finding that, after all Wall Street is not alone guilty of the unscrupulous immorality of the ways of doing business, Just as the bulls and bears are accused of sending false telegrams and reports some specu- lators in horso racing are now charged with TAMPERING WITH THE WIRES and sending the names of horses and win- ners which have not in reality won the race, This process points out a new species of rascality which is all our own and probably could not occur inany other country, The trick has been play- od more than once in the racing season, which is just about to finish, and several large bookmakers have long since refused “Tho public be | ©! have delivered to to pay botaat theirestablishments in town while the races: wero in progress. Every one who has the true interests of racing at heart must deplore the swindle of last Saturday and the Western Union people ought to leave no stone unturned to dis- the perpotrators of the fraud and bring them to speedy justice. The book- makers and \\ sollors pay high rates for their dispatches and a largo amount of the telograph companies receipts are do- rived from them. Besides, as botting is illegal, theso people are unable to ro- sort to the means for rodress which a merchant or stock broker is entitled to, OF THE WEEKS FLUCTUATIONS of the market, little need be said here. The markot is on the down track, and must continue on the same route with oc- casional reactions on the part of the bears. Whenevor a rally occurs long stocks come out by the ream, Immedi- ately after the publication of the Vander- bilt interview on Saturday, the market became stronger,but 6,000 shares of Lake Shore were thrown out in one Tump, and broke prices down again, The sale was traced to Mr. Sam Barton, which means Vanderbilt again. Some attention has recently been attracted to Pacific Mail, which fu\n advanced from 31 to 38 in the teeth of a falling market. Inquiries about the stock have elicited the following !facts: The company has paid offits float- |ing debt, and is now steadily taking in the bonds issued by the Panama railroad company under its contract. The fleet of tive ne asels built in the last three yoars is entirely paid for, and the com |uu§, has ovor guu,lm in bank depopits in New York and London. The business with China has steadily increased, and the business with Canadn is the largest in the history of the company. This in- crense has boen 80 great that the man- agoment has been obliged to add another monthly steamer to the Now York and Aspinwall line to carry the increased froight. The directors are now in favor of delaring a dividend next April. — SPOILING FOR A FIGHT. A Good Prusnébt for a Bloody Row Near Bradford, Pa. Two Thousand Armed Miners Pitted Against One Hundred Detece tives. Branvorn, Pa., October 14,—There were no new developments in the miners’ strike to-day.

The Condition and Prospeots of the Land Grant Overland Pool, Traffic Rapidly Inoreasing While the Rates Remain at the War Standard. A Rallroad to Yellowstone Park Recommended, Wasnixaros, October 15, —The report of Commissioner of Railroads Avmstrong waa transmitted to the Secretary of the Interior to-day. He notes a marked im- provement in’ the method of accountin and reporting to his office by several roads, ~ Particular attention is called to the degision of Controller Lawrence in relation to withholding payment of trans- portation for the government by the roads which have not been subsidized with bonds. Ho reports that the proper- ties of several railroads coming within the jurisdiction of the bureau are well maintained and that whiie the traffic on theseroads is steadily increasing in volume the rates charged are gradually decreas- ing.
