A late despatch from Cleveland announces that a gigantk civil-rights movement has been started throtwhout that State. colored people are said to have been worked up to a terrible pitch on the subject, and to be leagues in every section.

Every township has or expects to have us league in which the colored people will gather to consult and agree on joint action. The', probably had its origin in the decision of the Supreme Court of the United Stales -declaring mvalid the National Cinl-nghts Ad. The Democratic Legislature of Ohio took up the ouestron soon "after the decision had been rendered, and on February 5th passed a Ovil-rights Act, which was an nounced the despatches as containing; pre- ustlj'tht Kim: pruvi-kra thbl are in the in. valid National act. The singularity of such' action wa j-emarked.

upon by Jhsxfrxss at the time. But it proves that (he Ohio act Is not the same as the National act. The' Ohio act de clares it essential to protect all men as equal before the law," and "to mete out equal and exact justice to all, of whatever nativity, race. coior. or persuasion.

ft also decrires aflper-J sons ithin the jurisdiction of Ohio entitled to the fall and eoual en joymem of theaccom- modaUcinsvantagea anal, ptjvSb eges of 'wnsublic 'jtejajK'tteriafj; and other places of public amusement." But it Mys nothing of -restaurants and public" eat mg-placea outside of inns, and the penalty for violation of the act is but tioo. These features convince: the colored people that the Dem ocrats mean the act' simply, as a they are just shouting for a trmrougtrjing ClvH-rights Act. The Natmriai Cml-richts Act etjNrered res- taurants as well as inns, and made the penalty lor its violation 51,500 fine. But the colored people would joot now be satisfied with "the Nationai act. They demand the repeal of the black laws of Ohio.

which, among other thing, make 4t a penitentiary offense lor a Negia 10 marry a white womaiiir They also demand the elimination of the word "white "from the CoiitWMi sured in e-ery respect.

This' decision was appealed from, and in the regular course of procedure ft cameto the Court of Appeal to pa upon. The Court, in decision of Wednesday, affirms the decree of the court below. As one of.

A bill was there upon introduced granting the Comrhission furthe'r tirmv The bill passed the-Assem-bly on Thursday night.

The Democrats opposed its passage evidently not Jn the interest ot workingmen but purely as a political dodee. tt Troy, the espial Tepresema- tive ol the workingmen in the Assembly, made a vigorous speech favoring the bill 16' "Brant further time and protesting against the DefW-cratic action. It was necessary, he said, to provide some substitute for contract-labor and "we have a Commission the people of the State of New-York-are proud of to provide that substitute; The biU passe by a party wR Mr. Hooley and one Democrat; Mr. Harpendvng, voting with the Republicans in tffie eflirinative.
