Mixed So boo la.
A motion in the House of Repre?
sentatives, last Saturday, to take up
the Civil Rights Bill failed by 140 to
91 votes?not two-thirds. Eleven Re*
rt-?H!??V-.riS TJitsd agailiafe ?fc !*nfl fnrl.v
dodged the ? vote. Thai is the eud of
it this eessiop, and perhaps /forever.
It is killed1 in the house of its friends,
and the party" to whioh Somner be?
queathed the care of this bill as a pre?
cious and eaored logaoy bows politely
to his memory, but deolinea the task,
and throws ib overboard. It oould not
stand the pressure whioh comes up
against it from every quarter of this
whole country, including many sensi?
ble and thoughtful blaok persons.
Measures, snoh aa this, whioh are only
meant to divide and distract the peo?
ple and to foment bad blood between
parties, who, ? let alone, would be at
peaoe.with each other, have met their
emphatic .and pointed- condemnation.
The principal weapon whioh baa slain
this particular measure was tbe feat of
the Republican ' party, to sho ul 6>c it
and" go before tho country. Those
who lead it have houbo euOogb, ;tb! ece
that it is being rapidly short of its.
strength, and tbeir policy i? to eabject
it tb"lS lew trials as possibl'o in its
weakening condition. ' ^ ^
We can understand and appreciate
the, j doflire of " the colored people to
aoouro all their J;ja8t, rightej and in
every' legitimate" way }as *?roiriote their
own prosperity'. But it ia not wise in
?#?,W.n.o;;^ 'trfc to
pjwwj lupuj Iu un iiuualurai pemiiiun.
They have no more desire to cat at the
same tables, lodge iu the same hotels,
lend their ohildren to the same schools,
ooonpy pewfl contiguous to each other
iu tho same churches with the white
people1, than these latter have with
them. Only tl^e politician*, and occa?
sionally uome silly 'ambitious colored
Benson, wish any such admixture.
We see by aa article in the Pittaburg
Evening ? Leader that R*iney, the co?
lored Congressman from the George?
town Distriot in this State, makes
piteous complaint of the treatment ha
has received in Washington and else?
where. . In speaking of the mixed
?chool feature of the Civil Rights BUI,
while admitting it to be the most
obnoxious, he claimed it, nevertheless,
aa the colored people's * 'right." "Do
you suppose," be said, "that I want
my two children hindered in the en
jo^ment of the educational Interests of
the country, merely on account of
their,color, when wo are taxed for the
support of these schools?" It is a
'homely saying,,that what's sanoe for
the goose is Sauoe for the gander.
Perhaps Raiuey has boa^rd of it. If a
colored man who pays a poll tax of
ana dollar is entitled; on that account,
and because he prefers'it, to place his
child in a school, with white children,
the white man who pays beaidee his
poll-other taxes' to the State, heavy it
may be in amoupt, ia entitled to the
privilege ou that account, and bjoauee
he prefers it, to withdraw his son from
the mixed school and break it op.
What; then, becomes of the colored
man's right iu oopflict with thelwhite
man's right, supposing the white man
to have any loft 1* Clearly, they oau't,
consist together, and the colored man
is worse than foolish who greedily
graaps at a shadow and loses the sub?
stance. In schools as in oirou9 exhi?
bitions, "you pays your money and
yon takes your choice." This is true
even of a down-trodden community
like South Carolina. Tbe property
holders pay.tho money whioh support
the' public school*, of which the co?
lored pupils more especially get the
ndvautage. But they will not send
thbir children to mixed eohools.
Young Hm'ta the Front.
In tbe addreas'to the people of the
State from the Executive-' Committee
of the Tax-Payers* Convention, pub?
lished in theae columns yesterday,
there are aomo timely suggestions and
a spirited appeal tQtthe young men of
the country. The tax-payers have
made an issue with,' their oppressors,
arid accompanying it, have sent an
earnest remonstrance und memorial to
Congress and the whole noun try. This
work was a good one and well done.
Its consequenoes and effects bavo been
everything that could, be expected, so
far as deyejqpad, It has rebuked po?
litical fanaticism; it has caused men to
pause in their folly and anduess; it
has evoked the exerbiae of a just or
judgment. Within the State, no less
important duties remain to be dis?
charged. We must oomo up to their
discharge resolutely, aud with the
spirit of self-denial and eelf-saorifioe.
It is eminently proper that the young
men should oome to the front in thU
emergency, and carry forward to com?
pletion the schema of the- State's-.re?
demption, so Msely .phtaderj byvJiheir
father^? In oon$smpfejHn^ the |gl3rio*s
services tboy may b?/'able to 'render,
veterans can hardly jresiit the feeling
of regret that they are no longer
young, no lonp>r able to take the
nlty invites the yonng and aspiring,
the intelligent and daring.
The question which u presented to
every man, and moro especially to
ovcry young raan, in South Carolina
to-day, is whether ignorance and cor?
ruption shall continue to possess the
country. There oan be but one an?
swer, and that answer fixes upon every
man, and particularly upon every
young man, the duty of working for
the restoration of good government
and the installation, ultimately and as
the fruit of their toils, of honesty and
intelligence in places of power and
trust. We shall have something more
to say on this subject. We shall call
upon the yonng men again. Mean?
while, we oommend to tbem the pass?
age whiob follows from a Republican
Writer:
"Does anybody suppose that such a
oondition of things as'exists to-day in
South Carolina is to last?' Such a sup?
position is to ignore the. history and
the character of mankind. Suppose
the men, or a large portion, of the
white men;- of South-Carolina, who
have gone through the civil war, are
cowed and demoralized fay its results?
'bow is it with the individuals of the
rising generation who are fast taking
their plaaei? Is not the hot blood of
the South in their veins? They have
the ardor of youth; tboy have the sti
mulns of young ambition; they have
the pride of ancestry; they have the
inherited valor of suaoessive genera'
tions. Have they no part to play in
the future? We may rust assured that
no depressing oiroumstanaes of the
present are going to destroy or repress
the natural development that comes of
raae and blood. Opportunity alone is
wanting, and that, we know, is always
fouud by the bold and aspiring."

The Remains of the Liberty Pole
Mb. EmTon: Yesterday morning, as
the workmen were engaged in remov
ing the roots of the old palmetto tree,
(corner of Biohardson and Washing
ton streets,) preparatory to oommenc
ing the foundation of the handsome
buildiug about boicg erected by the
Southern Life Insurunoe Compauy,
they came upon the stump of the
liberty pole, whiob was erected sixteen
years ago, and from which the flag was
first thrown to the breeze on the 4th of
July, 1858. Our old fireman friend,
Lewis Levy, Esq., was the prime
mover in the affair, and after a style
peculiarly his own, succeeded in rais
ing the neoessary funds. Au immense
hole was exoavated, and a heavy base
or framework, well tarred, put down
Inquisitive individuals would ask the
meaning of these exteusive prepara
tions, when the old gentleman would
state to tbem that the information
would cost $5, (or $1, according as b
rated the fopeket of the party.) in _
r 'ijority of instances, the money was
ficely paid, and the inquirer appeared
satisfied; but kept quiet about it, so
that others would be caught. Ou th
morning of the 4th, the Ricbiand R
flea, Governor'sGuard siCarolina Blues
and Columbia Artillery paraded, and
wore drawn up around the flagstaff,
at an . early hour, to salute the stars
uud stripes as it was thrown to the
breeze. Everything was in readiness,
bat just as it was about being hoisted,
the cord became entangled in the
roller, and it oon'd not be adjusted.
Here was a dilemn. \. Somo thought?
ful individual remembered "Sailor
James," as be -as called?au em?
ployee on the State House?and hur?
ried off for bim. In a short time, the
sailor-workman was ou baud. Upou
the promise of a $5 bill, be climbed
the lofty pole, udjiisted the rope pro?
perly, slid down, the dig was hoisted,
and everybody made happy. His (in?
significant, us he termed it,) fe.it was
greeted with roars of applause, und
the sailor was made happy by a contri?
bution of $25 from the gratified indi?
viduals present. During a thunder?
storm, a short time afterwards, the
upper portion of the polo, above tt e
cross-tree, was shattered by a stroke ol
lightning, and the lower part so badly
injured, that it was deemed proper to
have it taken down. And now we have
the finale?tbo grubbiug up of the sup?
ports. Snob is my recollection of the
old libertv polo and what, became of it.
A LOOKER ON.
Tbo savings bank bill, in which so
great interest is felt in difi'ereut cities,
was passed by the Senate on Wednes?
day, and only requires the President's
signature to. become a law. This bill
relieves all savings banks from the tax
on surplus dividends. Commissioner
Douglass h?hl that tbo banks were
bound to pay this tax, and brought
suit against the Dollar Savings Bank
of Philadelphia/ The Supreme Court
of the United Stetes riot only decided
ip favor of the law, b?t further hyid
that as no statute of limitation runs
against the United States, the Govern?
ment could recover the amount of the
tax for any former year, whether it
had been assessed or not. The bill as
passed stops the suits to recover the
amount due from 1864 to 1871.

? 'Banco"?How Fooia and Their Money
Part Company.
When my friend, the pick-pocket,,
daring a late interview, had narrated
bis experiences in that line of business,
Writes.? contributor of the New York
2V77jerf,1ho next entertained me with an
account o f bie doings in what he called
the "bunker" business:
Just now it is the most popular de?
vice for fleecing the stranger who ven?
tures into the metropolis, and the un?
suspecting can be best warned by giv?
ing tbo story, as nearly as- possible, in
the pick-pocket's ow.u words.
??You see, sir," ho began, "it is a
good deal safer and more profitable
than picking pockets. I! you are 'col
hired'?I meau arrested, sir?you ore
euro to get off with something light,
but the cbauci a tire ten to one against
your being 'coliared.' The 'sucker' j
stands in with you, ns it were, and is
almost certain not to 'squeal'?that is,
not to complain to the police. In this
way its like the panel game, which is
the meanest as it is the safest kind of
robbery. Then banco pays big pro?
fits. It don't take a big 'mob.' I ex?
plained to you a bit ago thnt by 'mob'
we mean any number of men working
a job together. There is only the
dealer, the 'steerer'aud his pal. These
three, with the sucker, make a quiet
little party of four, and the sucker is
skinned for the equal benefit of the
other three. Why do we oall the fel?
lows we swindle .suckers? Really, I
don't know, unless it is because tbey
are so much like the fish of that name,
which Bwallows any bait that comes
along. Wo need a sort of an office iu
playing this game, but its not expen?
sive, for a dingy back room, in a side
street, that can be got for 325 per
month, is better tbau big apartments
on Broadway. Then we want a few
old drawings of the Havana lottery,
two sets of dice, and a moderate .sun
ply of money, say $700 or $300. Hav?
ing all these things fixed, we go on
our 'graft.' We always go to one of
the first class hotels to lay for suckers,
and we never pick up the wrong muu.
? never did, and I don't believe any of
my 'pals' ever did. Tbero is no trou?
ble in telling strangers from city men.
It isn't because they stare at the ntoro
windows and sigu9, for lots of city
men do that; nor is it always their
dress, for sometimes the oouutryman
swaggers along iu the latest style.
But there is always something about
him he can't disguise which Bays he's a
stranger, aud it's almost us certain that
he shows whether he's got money or I
not. Sometimes we pick op a sucker
who's broke, but it isn't often.
"Well, as I was saying, the big
hotels are our 'plant.' Now, suppose
you and I are on the 'graft.' Nobody,
though, seeu us speak to each other,
or iu any way recognize one another,
but for all that, each of us keeps a
sharp watch on the other. Maybe
we'll hang around au hour or two,
without finding a sucker. Sometimes
we don't find one at all. If we do find
bim, I give you the 'office,' that is, I
give you a signal you understand to
watch sharp. I then keep my eye on
the sucker until be goes into the
street. I step briskly up iu front of
him as if I had just turned up, and
bold ont my band with great cordiality,
saying: 'My dear Dr. Smith, I'm de?
lighted to son yon. When did you
eome to town? How did you leave all
tbe folks in Zinesville? I say all this
so quickly that the sucker hasn't a
chance to open bis mouth until I get
through. Even then, he isn't usnally
very fast about it. You sea I'm a per?
son of gentlemanly appearance and
address, and the suckei don't know at
first ez-iotly what to make of it all.
When be does recover from his usto
nishment, of course, be says bis name
isn't Smith. Generally, he is Very
stiff about it, aud suys very grandly:
'Sir, you are m -taken; I am not Dr.
Smith, sir.' Thou comes the fiuest
point iu our liitlo game. It used to
be that the sucker would always follow
this up by giving his numo and place
of residence, but lutely they've got
cursed 'fly,' aud it has to be wormed
out of them in must eisen. If be don't
give it, why, I say: 'Really, I beg
your pardon, sir; I would have sworu
you ivitb Dr. Smith; I uever mw such
a strikiug resemblance in my life
Now, really, sir, if it's not asking too
much, I would like to know your name,
ho that. I may tell Dr. Suiltti, the next
tinjo I see htm, who bis double is '
Tins always fetches the sucker. He
gets friendly ail at once und nays:
'(Jortaiuly. Mr, I am Mr. Thouias
Browu, of Brownsville, Texas, or
whatever it may be. That's all we
wuut to know. 1 beg pardon ot the
sucker, and turn away while he goes
oil. aud in a minute has pinbably for
goiteu all about me and Dr. Smith
Now you have been standing near nil
tbe time, aud heiiid him give his
U'imo, or, if you didn't, you push
against me by uccident like, uud I
throw it at you in asoft whisper, with?
out attruotiug any attention Iroru the
by-Standers. Thou you go off iu au
ordiuary way. If tbe sucker has gone
up street, you go down bad a block or
so, aud then cross over. You've taken
particular notice of his features aud
dress, ho that you can't mistuke your
man. As you go down, you look at h
list of national banks you always carry
iu your pooket, and got the nnnio ol
the president or cashier of a bank in
the sucker's town. Wheu you get on
the other side of the street, you walk
up briskly, keeping your eyes shurp
on the sucker all the time. You puss
him, and when you get a b ock above,
cross over, and walk down street aud
meet htm. Wheu you oomo up to
him, you stop all of a sudden; then
you seize him by the buud. whiob you
shake like au old friend, aud say:
'Why, my dear Brown, I'm delighted
to see you. How are all tho folks in
Brownsville?' You must be particular
about the last, for it's that whioh al?
ways gets the sucker. But you musn't
give him a cbanco to speak yet, for
you see he don't know you?how
could be, when he never set eyes on
yon before?and you say: 'Now.^hat's
too bad; I see you don't know me.
Why, I am Jones, nephew of Ephraim
Jones, Cashier of tbe National Bank in
your town. Don't you romomber
j when I was at your place? I was a
youugster then, but I remember you
perfectly/ AH this goes io make you
'solid' with tho sucker; if you uro the
nephew of a bank cashier, yon must
be somebody, aud if you have carried
him in your mind so long, you must
be u devilish clever fellow. Hut he ia
forced to say he dou't remember you,
and you thiuk it's too bud that he
should have forgotteu you so eutirely. i
But you are determitied he shan't do it!
again, for now you've met him once
more, you'll give him cause to remem?
ber you, which you are pretty sure to
do, but not in the way bo thiuks. Yoa
ask him to take a drink, and ten to
oue ho does it, for tho.-o suckers are
nearly always ready to drink at some?
body else's expense. If he goes into a
bur-room with you, your 'graft' is easy
after that; if he don't, you propose a
cigar, and if ha dou't smoke, you in?
sist it's your lunch time, and you drag
him off with you. Wherever you
take him, you opeu him ut once. You
do all the talking, for it won't do to
give him a chance, except to answer
questions, ho that you may have the
'office' as to Ins business, family,
friends and all thut, so that io u little
time you know almost us much about
him und tho place where ho lives as be
does himself. Then you get to talking
about yourself, and you always m*ke it
appear that you've been a wonderful
lucky fellow. Yon buve always made
money at everything you put your
bund to. Yon can't eveu buy a lottery
ticket without drawing a prize. Then
a sudden thought strikes you. You
say: 'By-the by, I've got a ticket uow
that's drawn a prize of some sort; I
must go dowu to tue office, and Hee
what it is and get the money.' Then
you draw out your pocket-book, which
Nhowa up well, and you take out the
ticket and bhow it to the suoker. His cu?
riosity is ezcitod, for be never saw any?
thing of the ktud before. Your ticket
is one in a pust drawing iu the Havana
lottery, und uot worth a cent; but, the
sucker dou't see tbe date, uud dou't
'tumble to it.' I never knew a case
where ouo did. Then you suy you
must go to tbe office, and you ask him
to go along with yon, for ufter you get
your money, you want to go up town
with him aud show him the sights.
The sucker always goes. Sometimes
be makes one excuse after another,
but you iusist und be always goes.
"Well, you got biui to our office,
which is fixed up like all tbo lottery
places in town which have 'Exchange'
on the windows. You lay your ticket
dowu and ask the man behind the
counter, who is tbe third 'pal'?I'll call
him the dealer?if that has drawn a
prize. The dealer Bays ho'll sec, and
be looks over a list of prizes pasted
on the wall at tbo back of tbe room,
and of course bobind tbe oounter.
He's very oareful about it, but at last
ho says: 'Yes, sir, you have drawn a
prize of $21)1. If you want tho money,
I'll give it to yon, although as a rule
all prizes are cashed at our main office
in Wall street.' You say, of course,
that you will take the money, and,
opeuing a drawer, be takes out a big
'bunch of soft' and bands yoa over the
amount. Then be says that as you are
in luck, you bad better take another
ticket for the odd dollar, and determine
it by the dice. You agree to it, and of
course you win. By this time the
sucker is generally ready to bite, but
if bo dou't, you go through the thing
again and win again. By this time be
is always sure to bite. But by this
time the game requires a large sum of
mouey, un 1 he puts it up. The dealer
fixes the umouut by what be thinks the
sucker has. The first throw, no mat?
ter what it is, the sucker wins. Some?
times, if we think he has a big pile, |
we let him win n second time, but it's
not often. Always the .second or
third time we play him double or quits,
aud 'ring tho dice on him;' that is,
we exchange the true dice which be
has been playing with for false oues,
aud, of cour.-e, without his knowing
it. Then we say to him that ho has
an exceileut chance to wiu, for be can
lose on no number but 28, and it's al?
most impossible bo can throw it. His
money is on tbe counter, und so is
yours He throws, and he throws 28,
for the false dice wont count anything
else, no matter bow they fall. Theu
the dealer sweeps h;s mouey into the j
drawer, remarking its very singular ho
should have thrown 28, uud pitying
his b?d luck. Then he says; 'Now, ;
gentlemen, 1 would like to have your
names. Wo ul ways take tho names of
our putrous for reference, iu order
that peoplt may kuow that this little
gambling transaction is douo ou the
square ' He lays particular stress OC
'gambling,'aud that settles the sucker.
Ho is always in a hurry to get stoerer,
not to say anything about the ulYur,
uud he always promises, of course,
and, what's more, be keeps it."
This, iu brief, was tho story my
friend, the banco-dealer, lato pick
poo'iet, told mo as we sut over oar
brandy and water, and I wondered
that it should be possible for any oue
to bo despoiled by so transparent a
swindle.

about their teadoooy to madness, and
has written frequently on the subject,

phobia. His letters have in past years
been widely published. He doubted
whether the disease of canine madness
bad a real existence, and he was quite
convinced that at all events its occur?
rence is so rare that there is no need
of taking precautions against it. The

Be ok the AiiBRr! Dangbb is at
Hand.?This has been a sickly season.
Tho medical faculty prophesy evil in
the future. They think pestilence is
on tbe wing for America. Suppose
this to be true, what is the best de
feuoo against it? Redoubled nervous
vigor. This is the only protection
against panic, as well as against the
principle of infection. Why do not
those who predict the epidemio pro?
pose an adequate preventive? There
is one?a tonic, nervine and alterative,
competent to shield tbe system against
the subtle elements of disease, whether
they float hither on the winds from
distant lands, or rise like vapor from
our own noil, or are^ incorporated
with the universal fluid. This one
preventive, of which there is no dupli?
cate among the Compounds either of
the old world or the new, is Hostet
tor's Stomach Bitters. Remember
that it is a specific for all the com?
plaints whioh lay the system open to
visitations of deadly epidemics. If yon
are dyspeptic, it renews the vigor of
your digestive powers, gives yon appe?
tite and restores your oheerfnlness.
If yon are nervous, it invigorates every
fibre of your nervous system, from
the base of the brain, obere it begins,
to the extremities, where it termi?
nates. If you are bilious, it disci?
plines your unruly liver and briogs
the action of that organ into harmony
with the laws of health. It is, in
short, an invigorant and alterative so
powerful that nature, with Hosletter's
Bitters for her ally, may bid defiance
alike to native malaria and foreign in?
fection. It not only awakens the phy?
sical powers from a state of collapse
and inanition, but it imparts perma?
nent vigor to tbe musoular and ner?
vous systems, reinforcing, as it wore,
both tho stronghold and the outworks
of vitality. The aged, the decrepid,
tbe nervous, tho broken-down of both
sexes, are recommended to try it.
They will assuredly find it a present
help in time of trouble. J21 fSfll

These medicines have undoubtedly
performed more cure.; of consumption
than uuy othor remedy known to tbe
Ameriouu public. They are com?
pounded of vegetable ingredients, aud
contain nothing which oan be injuri?
ous to tbe human constitution. Other
remedies advertised as cures for con?
sumption, probably contain opium,
which is a somewhat daugorous drug
in all cases, and if taken freely by con?
sumptive patients, it must do great in?
jury; for its tendency is to confine the
morbid matter in tbe system, whiob,
of course, must make a oure impossi?
ble. Sobenck's Pulmonio Syrup is
warranted not to contain a particle of
opium. It is composed of powerful
but harmless herbs, wbiob aot on the
lungs, liver, stomaoh and blood, and
thus correct all morbid secretions and
expel all the diseased matter from the
body. Tbeso are tho only means by
whioh consumption can be cured, and
as Sobenck's Pulmonio Syrup, Bea
Weed Tonio and, Mandrake Pills are
the only medicines whioh operate in
this way, it is obvious they are the
only genuine euro for pulmonary con?
sumption. Eaoh bottle of this invalu?
able medicine is accompanied by full
directions. Dr. Sohenck is profes?
sionally at his prinoipal office, corner
Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia,
every Monday, where all letters for ad
vioe mast be addressed. J9 fl8
