This is to some extent a teculiaritv of every revolution, and grows out of the temptations of greed, 'of policy and ambition. But we think that, over and earth. And society never will be true to itself, until it finds terrible penalties for such violators of its dignity, purity and repose. The THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL. following are the provisions of the Civil Eights Bill in full, as it passed the Senate on beyond the stormy excitements of any previous Saturday last, May 23rd: century or age, it has been reserved for the won- beref entedwithcorn idir-tin f fathers, husbands and brothers npfyeryjrespect able family in-the country BuV tlfr Jgod ! this stetefoi thl ""inuch loerT jThe Conservative white people of the country. North and South, and of all parties who have bot sold their "manhood for a mesa of poUaie, have seen and are seeing that to carry out the Civil Eights programme is to degradathair own race, and to destroy (heir own I greatness, and hence are declaring in tones that will make derful epoch in which we live, to become preg- nant with the most perfect examples of this men as extraordinary principle. That such Weston should aspire to occupy the columns of metropolitan journals, , with a regular diary of lie amusement; and also of common schools and his performances as a walker, and to interest the public mind of a whole continent with a systematized statement ot his diet pi eggs. chicken and coffee, is ho more astonishing than that such a distinguished physician as Doremus should keep his position by the track, to feel the pulse and regulate the conduct of) the tri umphant pedestrian. Think of the learned and public institutions of learning or benevolence; supported, in whole or in part, by general taxa tion; and also institutions known as Agricultural Colleges endowed by the United States; and of cemeteries so supported, subject only to the conditions and limitations established by law, and applicable alike to citizens of every race and color, regardless of any previous condition of servitude. ' ! And, sir, with shame and indignation be it said, there are white men in our midst ready to act as cup-bearers' during this terrible orgie, gotten up to destroy the virtue j and purity of their own race. But the day will come aye is fast approaching when they shall hear ' j"6n all sides, from innumerable tongues, a dismal uni versal hiss, the sound of public scorn." I ' The equality of the negro recognized, it is but themselves heard throughout the length and a question of time, when every public school in breadth of the land in 1876, that this is a white negro equality seated by the side of the white; child, studying jghall not prevail.

We know a greasy, . slovenly white man, in a neighboring county, who ten years ago kept a wretched grocery, without respecta sian, if alone, would, aided by the instincts of I race only, imbibe a culture and elevation of thought and morals unknown to any other race, and come forth from the groves of his alma mater fitted to assume any station that he might be I called upon to fill. But associated for years with an inferior race, which the experience of the world tell us is susceptible of a small degree of moral and intellectual . elevation only, and therefore necessarily taking into his intellectual (To be continued.)

And on the other hand, we are every day surprised by the apostasy of great minds, fitted by their yoke of Eadical agrarianism, enter the j chain gang of low-bred demagogues and Radical trick- sters, and like Lucifer, jSon of the Morning, falling from the steeps of heaven to the dreary shades of hell to rise no more forever. Is it necessary for us to call names, in order to show that proofs of the truth of this proposition lie as thick as leaves in Valumbrosa's Vale ? ' ... around, and read the scroll on which are Look writ- modatipns, advantages, facilities, or privileges j system a greater or lesser portion of his asso ciates' coarse and vulgar nature, j that desire for knowledge characteristic of the human race is lost. The sensual supercedes the intellectual, the standard of propriety is sunk to the level of de based pleasures; the pride of birth is obliterated by the habit of a degraded companionship,! and he enters the world loose in morals, loose in virtue, forgetful of the proud lineage of his an cestors, incapable of those proud and noble emo tions whi ch fill a patriot's heart, and all because he has been made to associate with, and taught i to regard an inferior being as his equal. True, there are many whose strong moral instincts and detestation of coarse inferiority will enable them to pass through the ordeal unscathed in their virtue, unsullied in their manhood, but the great majority of those from whom most of our, future statesmen and rulers are to come, cannot escape the contaminating influence. Hence, we say, that in the education of the com ing generation lies our danger; "as the twig's inclined so the tree is bent." Three generations educated in this manner, and we will have a tlOTGLO.

And the district attornevs. mar- NEW-BERNE IV. C. been manumitted and allowed to shape his own in the faculties or political condition, is productive of ei; and that continually. If Louis the Sixteenth ana nis Austrian vueen naa encrustea tnej reins of power into the hands of Lafayette and Mira- beau, instead of permitting them fall into the hands of Danton, Marat and Roland, the stormy excitements which broke upon his throne would have been arrested in their career, and the selfish dyiiasty of the Empire would never have begun. Small men have their place in the social and political system as well as gentlemen. But David can no longer wear the harness of Saul in his conflict with the Philistines, than Saul can face the terrible spear of Goliah with the sling of ,the shepherd bov. If small men become -- .- . . . - i . . ambitions beyond the measure of their gifts, it becomes the dignity and intelligence of an en lightened people to show the giddy aspirant his place. Au over-weaning ambition is just as damaging to the character of a State, as the reckless purpose of au incendiary is to! the safety of a city. And alas ! if this be true, what shall we say of that unmanly spirit of -compro- powers of arresting and, imprisoning or bailing offenders against the laws of . the United States, destiny has he not, ninety-nine ..: times hundred, relapsed into a state of barbarism ? Go to Louisiana, in our own land; see him there, in a christian country, surrounded j by the influences of the Gospel, and scarely ten years a freedman -see him ; there in his orgies, bending himself to the worship of snakes and m8 tf are hereby specially authorized and required to 1 fire? a believer in charms and witchcraft; super stitions, vindictive'and barbarous. The charac teristics of his race can no more be changed than the spots of the leopard. And yet, this is the influence that the doctrine of equality seeks to fasten upon the education of our children : this the material from which it seeks to select institute proceedings against every person who shall violate the provisions of this act, and cause him to be arrested and imprisoned or bailed, as the case may be, for the trial before such court of the United States or territorial court as by law has cognizance of the offence, except in respect of the right of action accruing our Presidents and our Governors ; this the so- to the person aggrieved; and such district attor- ciety which it intends to force upon our fair and neys shall cause such proceedings to be prosecu- beautiful women; this the level to which if suc- ted to their termination as in other cases: Pro- cessful, it will pull us all down.
