Oragin, from the Committee on Mili?
tary Affairs, reported adversely on a
bill authorizing the President lb pur?
chase a site for a coaliog station for
the Navy Department and other Go?
vernment uses at Fort Point, Port
Royal, South Carolina, and it was in?
definitely postponed. Gordon, of
Georgia, introduced bills to remove
the political disabilities of S. D. Lee
und'O. R. Singleton, of Mississippi.
Flo also presented memorial of Mayor
and City Council of Atlanta, Georgia, I
in favor of having tho bill making that I
place a port of delivery recommitted
to the Committee on Commerce, and,
on motion of Gordon, tho bill was re?
committed. Harvey, of Kansas, pre?
sented a resolution of the Legislature
of that State, eudorsiug the message
of tho President in regard toLouisiaua
and expressing confidence in General
Sheridan. The Senate bill to grant a
site for the Peabody School in St. Au
gustiue, Florida, was taken up, to
which there was un amendment
pending, submitted last session
by Edmunds, providing thut, if at any
time any distinction shall be mndo on
the admission of pupils, on account ol
race or color, the site shall revert to
the United States, and it was rejected
?yeas 23; nays 24; Cameron, Ferry,
of Connecticut, Gilbert, Ingalle, Mer?
rill, of Vermont, Schurz and Sprague
being among those who voted in the
negative. Aloorn, of Mississippi, said
the vote just taken indicated the fact
that the Republicans had become tho?
roughly demoralized on the subject
of civil rights, and he felt con?
strained to vote against the bill.
It could be construed iu no other way
than as en intimation that if the trus?
tees of the school choose to do so, tbey
might exclude colored children from
its benefits. Merrill, of Vermont,
denied that such a construction
would be justified. He hoped this in?
stitution, which was a private one,
would make no distinction on account
of color. The bill was then passed j
without a division, Alcorn voting iu
the negative.

Mexioan Affairs.?The conflict be?
tween Catholicism aud Protestantism
in Europe is political. In Mexico it is
personal. The Protestants have been
very active lately in Mexico, and our
despatches from the capital show that
tho number of reformed cborches is
increasing. The expulsiou of the Sts?
tors of Charity baa been bitterly re
sentod. aud the pledge of the Carbolic
women reveals intense feeling. It is u
pity that a more tolerant public opi?
nion does nut put an end to these per?
petual religious wars. No country can
be free where the State and the churob
arc in allianee, or wbero society will
I not tolerate absolute freedom of
thought.
The War in Cora.?If the Spuuish
authorities in Cuba fail to suppress the
rebellion now, they might as well
abandon tbe uttempt. They bave been
six years doing nothing, aud say Ha?
vana despatches, that Captain-General
Concha will direct tho campaign per?
sonally, aud that indemnity is to be
rendered to loyal subjects. If tho in?
surgents cun withstand these measures
of confiscation aud attack, sustained
by reinforcements from Spain, they
will prove that they ure entitled to re?
cognition and able to obtaiu their in?
dependence. We doubt tbat General
Conoha will do more iu person thau
he has achieved by his deputies.
The Grand Jury of Marion County
declares the jury law to be a nuisance
That is where their heads wcro level.
Tho ignorance or venality of one man
can deprive a County of a oourt for a
whole year. Oa numerous occasions
have we known of lawyers, witnesses
and jurors being brought to the court
boose towns, at great pnblio aud pri?
vate expense, only to find that a court
could not be legally held because of
the stupidity of a jury commissioner.
There should be a change made that
would render suoh tilings impossible
