We recently invited . attention ta the progress in cultivating the sor ghum cane and from it making su gar. The successful experiments in two as widely separated. States as New Jersey and Kansas in growing the cane and from it producing an excellent , grade of sugar, ought to encourage our; Southern .planters to engage in the same work. ; we nee a diversity of crops and;, there 79 no reason why North Carolina should not grow better cane t.hah ...States, as' 1 far North as Kansas and New Jer- sev are. Our climate, soil' and the mt - length of the summer season ' are all favorable.

These cases were- all based on the first and second sections of the Civil Rights act of 1875, . ana wefe' respectively prosecutions Tinder the ant5 for not admitting certain colored per-, sons to equal 'accommodations and privi-. leges in inns or noteis, in rauroaa cars auu in ieatres.! The defence set up in! every casb was the alleged uhconstitutibnality of the law. . iThe first . and second sections .ot thei act, which were the parts directly, in controversy, are as follows: " ' , ' . '.'Section 1st. That 'all' bersons within thej jurisdiction of the United States . shall be entitled to full and. equal enjoyment of accommodations, advantages, facilities and rivileges of inns,' public conveyances on and and water, theatres and other places of public amusement; subject only to the conditions .and limitations established by law and applicable alike to citizens of every color, regardless' of any previous condition! of servitudei." t i . .... .-, . . ,m tr . The .second- section provides that any Eefispn who violates the first' section shall e Jiable to forfeit $500 for each off ence, to be recovered in civil taction, and .also, to a penalty of from $500 to $1,000,, to ( fine or imprisonment from thirty days t6 a y6ar,to be pnforced in a criminal prosecution. ' Ex clusive jurisdiction is given to the District and Circuit Courts of the United, States, in cases arising under the law. ' The rights and privileges clairhed.by and. desiea to tne coiorea persons in mese cases were mil auu - equal auuuuiuiuuauuua w hotels, in ladie's cars on railroad traiasjand in the dress circle in theatres.. . The Court, in a long and carefully prepared opinion by Justice Bradley, holds : First, That Congress- had no constitutional : authority to pass the sections in question under either the 13th or 14th amendment of the , consti tution. Second, That the 14th amendment is prohibitory upon States only, and that legislation authorized to -be adopted by Congress for enforcing that amendment is hot direct legislation on matters respecting which the . States are prohibited from making or enforcing certain laws or doing certain ...acts; ibut . , is ...corrective. ,leg islation, ; necessary ?T6r i? proper for . eoun: teracting - and - redressing: ; the s effect ofl&ucb law or . acts.- That in forbidding States, for example, to' deprive any persons of life libertV' or property without duei .process of law, and giving Congress power to enforce the prohibition, it was not in tended to give Congress po we to provide due process of law s for thei protection of Hfe, n liberty r and . property, (which would embrace almost all subjects of legislation). but to provide modes of redress for coun- teracting the operation . and effect of State laws obnoxious? to- prohibition. Third, that the 13th amendment gives no power. to Congress to pass the sections referred to;' because that amendment '"relates only ; to slavery and involuntary servitude, which; it abolishes, and gives Congress power to pass. laws, for : . ts. ' enforcement. " That this power npnlyv extendi' to the subject matter of the amendment Itself , namely, slavery and involuntary servitude, and the necessary, incidents and '.consequences of those conditions; that it has nothing . to,do wth different races or colors; but only re fers to slavery, the legal eauality of -different races and classes of citizens being' pro vided for in the 14th amendment,'! which prohibits the States .from: doing,' anything .td interfere with such eauaUty,.'
