The Civil Rights Bill. Both branches of tho general Assent i My have consumed mneh time of the present already protracted session in discussions upon the Civil Eights Bill.

Tho indications still are that Us consideration will make large drafts upon the time yet to lie consumed before the Leg-Jointure, ndjotifnft. Tho General Assembly of the 'State haa seldom had a more Important measure before it. Tho pro. visions of this hill awn at the subversion of long established customs, and the re-organization ot the organic principles which He at the foundation of our social fabric. They seek to do thnt which can never bo accomplished hy legal enactments, and make elements mingle upon terms of social equality which are utterly incongruous and entirely unsuitable, president Grant wisety said in his inaugural address that social equality was not a subject of legislation.

Ko candid man will object to the enactment of such laws as will give the negro the full enjoyment of all the civil nnd political rights to which he is entitled as a citizen of the Stato and of the United States. As we have said before in these columns he ought to have comfortable accommodations upon railroads when ho paj-s the price of such accommodations. But ho has no right to expect, and ought not to sot up any claim, to a place in such apartments as may be appropriated to white people. We have thought that sensible men among them did not desire any such legislation, or any such forced and unnatural commingling of the races. That principle of self rcpect which is common to tho human race and exhibits itself upon occasions calculated to draw it out is utterly at war with, and indignantly re volts at the idea of forcing one's self into the company of those who draw back from such association.

The fact that political capital may be mado or party advantages gained- by the public degredntion of political antagonist will, I hope, make me niily more careful not to degrade my position as judge into that of an un scrupulous partisan.

I have tried to look over all this ground and see what was best for tho country, what was safest as a precedent, aud what was most in accordance with the fundamental principles of the great jiarty to which I belong; aud I am satisfied that all thcc require that no doubtful power should bo exercised, no uiisus-tained or ufipretended authority evoked in order lo attain my end or accomplish any purpose, however desirable. I am not silly enough to assume that the individual members of the Democratic party are moiC honest, more patriotic, more worthy of public coufi Irnce than the men who differ with them. What 1 assume is, aud it is for that reason that I am a Democrat, that the doctrine and teaching's of my party arc all opposed to the cv itcise of doubtful powers. All favor strict construction all require its honest followers lo set their faces in unbroken phalanx ngair.st monopolies, jobs, subsidies, rings, centralization, consolidation, usurpation nnd corruption in every form, nnd it is only whon our men abandon those prin-iph'H and lone sight of the great landmarks of the party that thi-y become demoralized and corrupt, irtv brred contempt for fixed constitu- tional irinciples. because with them the end justifies the means, because success sancttit's all the steps taken to achieve it.

Marks of improvement arc to be seen in every direction, new dwelling houses are being built, old houses and fences ropaiut-od, the new Methodist Church, which bids fair to be quite an ornament, is fast approaching completion, and-ere long its noble spires will tower majestically above one of the finest churches in the Slate, one every way worthy of the Methodist denomination at Tuskegee. We were pleased to note these improvements, as we feel much interest in tho place and its good people.

Our child hood was passed here, and we love lo take the hand of its noble men and have them bid us God speed and prosperity in our life struggle. Sad recollections are always awakened by a Visit to Tuskegee. Many changes have taken place. Many of our old friends havo left and are seeking their fortunes elsewhere. Others have been laid in tho silent grave, and are mouldering int0 dust.

are not forgotten, nor can we i cease to think of them when we pass over the scenes of onr childhood. THE TUSKEGEE FEMALE COLLEGE is now in a flourishing condition, and its former reputation is well sustained under the supervision of Prof. Moore, who is rapidfy gaining the confidence of the people as a female Educator. All departments of education are thriving in Tukegee, and it can well boast of its splendid schools and superior education- ai advantages. Wo have said that the narrow guacie railroad hafi ntnv Hlb to Tuskegee.

Its benefits to Tuskegee and Union Springs would bo unquestionable, and the Railroad itself could be made a paying institution.

Mr. Campbell thinks the Road can be built for $12,000 per mile, which seems to us very cheap, and quite nn inducement to examine its practicability. Wo would like to see Mr. Campbell take hold of the matter in earnest and we are satisfied that the project would be accomplished, aB ho knows no such word as fail. Go ahead Mr.

Campbell and let as have the Road. Wo will do all in our power to ndvance the enterprise. The circuit coi'RT, xr -ixi Hon. Littlehirry Strange presiding, was in session, and gave an enlivening ap penrance to things. Many Lawyers, be- sides the local bar, were in attendance.

We had the pleasure of meeting Capt. F. S. Ferguson, of the law firm of Blaltey Ferguson. Montgomery.

Cnpt. Fred, like ourselves, once lived in Tuskegee, and can appreciate a visit there, he' bo mg widely known and deservedly popn- Inr. He was at one lime the Editor of the and we say with no disparagi mcnt to the present Editors, that fill ed the position most ahly, aud the News wa5 a spicy, readable sheet while under his management, and we regretted to see him retire from a work for which he was so well fitted. We glad to welcome him hack to the Tripod The Xetrit in speaking of him, says fiat rpt. "I- I i 1 he is ever wont to speak of the -little Ferguson," and proudly thereof.

Don't blame him, who would not be proud to be called "Papa." Long life to you Captain Fred. We did not have the pleasure of meeting the Editors of the News, they were not in their Sanctum when we called, we were anxious to see them but could not wait.
