THB ABOAlNtTIOSI OF DARINA- I - TION. i Yesterday the lower house of Con gress under the whip and , spur of Beast Butler and other leaders of ! equal purity passed by, a large ma ' jority almost a strict party vote v the inferual Civil Rights bill. Though it was modified bo far as to exclude ' the atrocious school feature of the Senate bill,'' it is sufficiently an. out i rage ou the people of this country to l entitle it - to the condemnation of all i good citizens of all parties. It forces hotel keepers and owners of steamers who transport passengers. to provide the same accommodations for all,' irrespective of color or race. The penalties affixed to the violation are heavy and intended to be conclusive jof opposition to the will of the fraraers of the law. j The provisions of this bill in their naked villainy are now, before the country. Will the conspirators suc ceed, in the face of the opposition of a large majority of the people, in en acting them into law ? Will the two ' hodses of Congress again agree upon a bill ? . If enacted, this measure will cre ate universal Indignation, and will hasten the downfall "of the . Republi can party. But the South must with hold active resentment at the crying injustice done her. We must all be wise as serpents in this emergency. .No rash demonstration of 'anger will hel p our cause. We are ex pet-ted to do something rash, precipitate troub les with the other race, and afford a pretext for another reconstruction. That expectation is the last hope, of the expiring Radical; party. Let us defeat it by high prudence and patri otio forbearance. V JYO Ol VKM IMN. L Raleigh News of Yeslerday. j The proposed Convention meeting at the Courthouse last night didn't lake place.

Chamber or Commerce, 1 ) Wilmikgton, K. C, Feb. 5, 1875. J. To the Honorable the Mayor and-Board of Al- dentuni of the (My of j wumtngton : ; Sirs: Your attention is respectfully called to certain projected railway connec tions, which are of vital importance to the growth of the commerce ot this port. 'Pi., '.it ,r mf Plnninnuti haa lwaiirl Hrtnrla to the extent of ten millions ; of dollars to aid in the construction of a railway direct to Chattanooga, thence lo Charleston. The present connection ot our city with the western portion of ithe Stale is but a section of what has always been looked upon as a direct rail connection wan the great Northwest, via Cumberland Gap, and with the Texas facmc ttaiiway via tjuaita nooga. .. ' It behooves us. then to be alive . to oar interests and secure at least some portion of the benefits to be derived from these con nections, and to use every effort to tap such lines as may be constructed, if we are un able to control the whole line ourselves. Tlie Deoule of the West are in ignorance of the advantages of our pott, which is des tined, at an early day, to become equal if not superior to aby other south of tbe Ches apeake: hence our first efforts should be to enlighten them in this! respect by laying before tuem such official tcts and ngures as may satisfy them of the advantages we set forth, not only as to the capacity of our harbor, but as to the short (comparatively) distance required to be overcome to reach US. ,, - ,.. . lis-..-. Tbe efforts of the Chamber of Commerce are directed to this object, and so far as in their power lies, will carry out their views. but Wefnanctal condition of mat oouy will not admit of their undertaking the expens es necessary to accomplish their purposes They have for several years been at heavy expense in sending committees to Congress to urge the necessity of full appropriations for restoring our harbor: and tnis labor and expense still devolves j upon them. They will, before tbe coming weea, have a rep resentative in Washington who will have this matter in charge, and with some assist ance trom tbe city and! the Carolina Central Railway Company propose to have this gen tleman joined by others appointed by your selves and the Railway Company, and the whole committee proceed to Cincinnati as soon as possible to lay tbe claims of our port before the proper authorities of that city, and also of Louisville, i If you concur in this proposition, I would respectfully suggest an appropriation, neces sary to cover juuy one naif oi all tne expense. be made and placed under control ot a committee who will act in concert with the Chamber and the officers of tbe Carolina Central Railway Company in selectingsuit- able persons to represent tbe whole, xonr body have heretofore met our applications in this way quite liberally and I would ask the same in this case, which we look upon as the most momentous step we could take to forward our Commercial prosperity. l would moreover suggest mat tbe appro priation heretofore made, to assist in the survey of the proposed New River Canal might be reconsidered; as it is not probable the same will be called for unless tbe bills now pending before the Legislature should pass, in which event the condition of the company .would hardly then require the assistance. 'V " . j- ! , All of which is respectfully submitted. Wm. L. DeRobset, President. "" The above communication was referred to the Committee on Finance with power to aCt. . .:'.. .. J ... .. j ' V ' ' The Committee on Streets and Wharves made a report recommending that the city grant to the Sound Railroad Company per mission to lay down a permanent track in the eenlre of Church or Castle streets, from Seventeenth street down, to Eight h "street. where they propose to build a depot, and also to lay a track down on Castle street to connect their depot with the river for the term of six months. (All the above to be granted atter the Mayor has obtained from the Railroad Company an agreement, sign ed by the Presideut : of said company, whereby they bind themselves to keep the streets in good condition, and such other requirements as tbe Mayor and Committee on Streets and Wharves believe to be neces sary and proper. The report was received and approved. The following resolution was passed : JSetolved, That as the Executive Commit tee ot the New River Canal Company have not complied with- their proposition made to this Board at their regular meeting Sep tember iSlb, 1874, said proposition is here by repealed, cancelled and annulled. .

This was a suit brought by tbe plaiutiff to recover from the defendant sir thousand and four .hundred dollars, being double the amount of stock held by his in testate in the Commercial Bank of Wil mington.

Messrs. Wright & Stedmao and Robert Strange represented the defendant "and Hon. R. S. French appeared for the plaintiff. The Fire Last Night. "" The alarm of fire was sounded last night at about l&i o'clock, and on examination was found to be caused by the origination of a fire in the pea nut establishment of Weller Bros., situated on Water street, next north of the commission house of Messrs. Kerchner & Calder Bros. The fire ignited from a pea nut drying apparatus which was in operation in the interior of the building. Tbe engines and the truck were prompt ly on Ithe spot, but tbe judicious use of a few buckets of water extinguished the flames without the assistance of the engines. The damage was slight.
