THE ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.
JUr, Shaw, at 12 o'clock, introduced
the following resolution!
"Whereas, The term of the Forty
Third Congress of the . United States
expires with this hour. And whereas
a large majority of said Congress be
ing unmindful of the trusts imposed
in it by a free people, and have heaped
burdens and insults upon them un
. precedented in the annals of history,
and with an unmitigated hatred to
the Southern portion of this Union,
have converted the "Halls of Con
gress" into a "Star Chamber" of op
pression; ' " ' , ; -." '
Therefore, be it Resolved, by the
Senate of North Carolina, That we
hail with joy this the hour of our de
liverance, and extend our congratula
tions to the whole people ef these
United States upon this happy dawn
of a better day."
This resolution created a warm dis
cussion, and resulted in quite a num
ber, of motions to postpone and table,
which were lost.
. Mr.r Morehead introduced the fol
lowing substitute:
"That the Senate of North Caroli
na congratulates the people of the
Uniteid States, and all lovers of civil
liberty, that the hour has. arrived at
which the 43d Congress expires."
Mr. Mills moved to table the whole
matter. Tabled.

whole matter till Saturday next.
This motion was vehemently opposed

of the substitute. -
(Mr. Pattou argued in favor of the
original bill.. ,
Mr. Staples, at considerable length,
opposed the Tate bill, arguing, that
ti provisions , werd j in no vise .feas--ible,
, as its i firsijjproposition was to
purchase the road by the State with
out any machinery to- raise fund for
this purpose. Again, it proposed to
pay the interest! on its I bonds from
half of the earnings of this road, the
other half to be applied to the com
pletion of the road to its proposed
termini. He proposed to show that
in tent years the road would be more
embarrassed than it is now, add not a
a single foor of work performed to
wards completion,! by. such " legisla
tion. He wanted an appeal to the
Supreme furV whichvwth; tho sub

to the State. .'Vt,.;' il-vr--:" f ';
Mr,, McRae repliecltQ the" argu
ment of Mr. Staples and spoke
mainly to the merits- ol the amend
ment offered by himself. .
Mr. Mendenball was-.loth. to take
issue with his colleague on matters of
importance before the General As
sembly, but after ! careful considera
tion of the subject j he was convinced
of the fact that there was merit in the
Tate bill and would support it.
Mr. Moring warmly advocated the
Tate bill, and argued at some length
the various provisions therein in con
trast with those of the substitute.
Mr. Robinson (Mr. Walker, of
Richmond, in the Chair) bad ex
amined both bills now before the
House with care, and while he was
willing to accord merit, to each, yet
be thought the Tate bill would save
the. property to . the State, and the
substitute would not; he would there-
Tore support the original bill. -The
gentleman from Guilford, he said,
faintly suggests that: ah appeal to the
supreme Court . would relieve the
road of Us embarrassment. . If tie re
membered aright, a ; resolution was
now before the, Committee on Rail
roads providing for the taking of this
ap'peai to the Supreme Court.
Mr. Staples (interrupting). 1 he res
olution was introduced and is now
sleeping in the hands of the commit
tee. -' . . --.'H ill " . i
Mr.' Robinson I have information
that the resolution has been carefully
considered by the committee, and they
have had Major Smith before and are

. CIVIL RIGHTS. .
View of Hotel-Keeper. Restaura
teurs and Leadlos Colored Men.
The New York ! Tribune says the
civil rights bill having been signed by
the President, the j question of the
right ot colored people to the privi
leges of the hotels and theatres is ex
citing considerable 'attention in that
city. A reporter of that paper con
versed on 1 uesday with the managers
of several leading theatres as to the
probable effect of the law 'on their
UUBlllCDSt J I '
"WHAT THE MANAGERS THINK. .
Theodore Moss, of Wallack's The
atre, said that- the management had
not determined how; to act. Theatres
are a luxury, and the managers ought
to have the right toj run them in their
own pay, and admit whom they please
to admit, and to refuse admission to
those who would injure their business
or who were i otherwise i objection
able. Sheridan Shook, of the Union
Square Theatre, stated that the the
atre would no doubt obey the law, but
it did not followlbat colored people
would be admitted i 'except on the
conditions made by the proprietors!
Mr. Fiflke, of Daly's Fifth Avenue

: WILMINGTON
'i.:
.Theatre, said that there bad been set
aside a portion of the family circle in
that house for colored people, and he
did not expect that the arrangement
would'be altered except uudera3vice
of counsel; Mr. Tooker, of .Booth's
Theatre, stated there would probably
be a uuion of interests, and the the
atres would be governed by ; the ad
vice of counsel. At ; the Lyceu m
Theatre and the Academy of Music
It was also understood that the man-
. agers would be guided in their course
by counsel.- . .
INTENTIONS OF HOTEL KEEPERS AND
: RESTAURANT PROPRIETORS. " " '
The leading hotel proprietors were
also interviewed. At the Fifth Ave-!
nue Hotel,' Mr. Griswold said he did
not think that the bill would trouble
the New York hotel proprietors. To
the question if he would permit col
ored meu to have such rooins aa theWjtn", ran from considerable distanee . and j
dewreoVfi said he lid not allow bw lUempte h F jotoiadow to f
presenjt guests to dictate to. him as to
what portion of the house they would
occupy. I . . if '
f At the Grand Central, H. L. Pow
ers, the lessee, was called upon, and
in reply to the question whether he
would, entei tain colored guests, he
said'he did nt think he would be
either honored or troubled witb-.thenv
When: asked if he would allow them
to sit at the "general table, -he said
that the hotel was provided with
three dining-rooms, and, as he did
not allow any one to dictate in his
establishment, he could dispose of
colored gaests as he saw fit. .
At the ot. Jeni!, m rejJv-- to the
question whether the hotel would ad
mit colored guests, the olerksawi that
if it was the law he supposed that
there would be nothing left for the
management to de but to obev The
general impression given bythe pro
prietors was that probably all ; their
rooms would be occupied, or not in a
condition to receive undesirable
guests.
In conversation with the leading
New York restaurant proprietors,
there was foond a bitter sentiment of
opposition to the features of the civil
rights bill relating to the entertain
ment of the negro in public houses
and restaurants, i il
VIEWS OF PROMINENT COLORED MEN.
The feeling of the colored portion
of the population in New York gen
erally was found to be that the civil
rights bill was of little advantage to
the race, and as a political measure
was a failure. Isaac II. II u ti
ter, one of the members of the
Liberal Republican Association,1
said that the Radical Republicans
bad played this measure as their last
tiara," and 111 so doing hadTnoughTto
win over me colored vote; but the
colored men had. lost all confidence
iu the Republican party, and by tak
ing from Charles bumner a bill the
very essence j of civil rights to the
colored man; the Republicans had
spoiledtheir whole game. The col-;
ored voters had depended on the
Radical Republicans so, long and had,
absolutely gained nothing, that. they
were not likely now to place any trust
in them for the future. ;

Not Our Fault. j

" Patrons of the Wilmington Daily Star

this place failed to put in an appearance.
In these uncertain days of injunctions and
civil rights we tremble for its safety." '

The Feamal Last Nlgnt. , . 1
' The Festival given by the ladies of the
First Baptist Church last night at the Resi
dence of Mr. Wa A. French was a very
enjoyable affair.. It-was quite successful
for, notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather, the ladies were not forgotten by
their numerous friends, nor neither: did
they forget "ye. local," who was the 're
cipient of a refreshing and substantial re
membrance from them; ? i " :
.'. ! "A CABB TO THE PUBLIC.
' We, fthe undersigned colored citizeas
Wilmington, take this occasion to express
through the public press our disapprobation
and condemnation of the action of certain
men who, assuming to represent the colored'
people or this city, undertook to provoke a
difficultyj under cover of the Civil Rights
bill, at certain public places m this city on
Wednesday last, and beg leave to say that
while we rejoice in the passage of ..that bill
by Congress, yet we most emphatically dis
sent to its use in any way others than s
OoBgreas intend Loamely. a-a law f oi!
the protection of colored persons in the
exercise of legitimate rights, and notas an
engine of oppression to any class of oui
fellow-citizens. We earnestly counsel mod-j
eration on the part of our friends, and we
hope they will discountenance any attempt"
on the part of unreliable persons to create;
unnecessary suile. ,
