From time immemorial all mancu lave had equal right at the common aw in places of public auueweants, n publio conveyances and in inns or icensed taverns, because all such juAinems was for the public undeV jeGial privileges granted by 'tleI Ljoverninent. The theatre and like publi anwusemen(s were licoosed by lie publio authorities and protected by the police. The public convey. moces used the King's highway. Tie I public ion had the special privilege >f a lien or cL aim upon the baggage >r other property of any traveler ising it.f'or Ihis keep -; and if any nun was refa4d, while behaving rmlmself we4l ad paying his 'fate, a 'eat in any place of am usemnent-, or arriage by public conveyance, or shelter in a publio ins, hie had at ommoh la;w'a right of action agaicat ~he party so refusinig, The Civil llights bi-ll only confirms these righte >f all citigens to the colored man in 3lonbidocrationi of the prqjudioe against aim and an attempt in certain parts if the countr'y to interfere with the 3(ercis.e of those -common law rights and has enacted a penalty as a means >f enforcing the right in his beball n consideration of' his help)ess and lependenit cndition, T1heo Civil Ilights b~iI has not altered the coor d inan's rights at all from what they were before under the common law ppli'aable to nearly every Btate in he Union, It has only given hint a ~reattr power to enf.oe that 'righta o met he xigncyofcombined b,ill allows the coloredl man to f. rce iimself into any mao's private houso ar into any eating house, boarding house or establishmenot other than, those I have named, is simply an ex.

She seemed to have an inconquerable ind isposition to remain oat. 8be was set much out of repair.

The estimated white population is 24,000. Th:Lt of the colored is 26,000. Thus the r.%tio of deaths is ("e for every 33 whitep, and one for every 21 colored. The health officer says in his report that "Previous to the war consump tion among the colored was of rare occurrence, and then only among the well marked scrofulous diathesis of the African descendant." The in crease of the diaea.e is ascribed to exposure, dissipation, - want cl pro per nutrition, clothing and bedding, and the health oficer says that the only hope of saviug the raee (row, the fate of the American Indians is ii securirg to them moral, religious and i adustrial education. That this fear of their dying out in tuat locality is not an idle one is shown not only by the general death rate of the race, but particularly by the death rate aiong children under five years of age. The proportion of oolored still born to whites was Ist as 6 to I ; the proportion of deaths under five years was 2 to 1, and this in a communtity almost equally divided by two taces. -Carpetbagism and Congreasional Jeg. islation of the sort fashionable with the dominant party for the South will never better, but add to this deplorable condition-of the colored people.

A!,out the t,kird terni scheie i .w -a ileut and on his Louislaar. vote, which has made him so unpopular, in Georgia, he appea-rs to have wade no remarks. En a space of ten years not les than.2,000,000 of Brit.>h subjects $have left their native land. Soie went to Australia, some to Canada, and more came to the United States. Until lately the Irish emigrants were in excess of the English aud Scotoh. Since 1869, hosvevcr, the -repective ratios are reversed. During that year Great 1Iritain sent forth 18,000 iore emigrants than Ireland; and iu 1872 this excess was even more uarked. President Grant and Attorney General Williams are troubled to know what they shall do with an Indian who kills another, as the In. dians are not subject to our law.
