THE ACOOLADE.
BY BAYARD TAYLOR.
Under the lamp in the town yard
The beggars and thieves were met;
Ruins of lives that were evil-starred,
' Battered bodies and faces hard,
A loveless and lawless set.
The one were full, if the'scrip was lean: '
A fiddler played to the ring
The high-pitched lilt of s tune obscene,
When there entered the gate, in garments mean,
A stranger-even the King.
There was danger in their doubting eyes:
“ Now who are you 7" they said.
" One who has been more wild than white,
Who has played with force and fed on lies,
As you on your mouldy bread. '
, “ The false have come to me, high and low,
Where I only sought the true:
I am sick of sham and sated with show:
The honest evil I faiu would know.
‘ In the license here with you."
“ He shall go! " “ He shall stsyl" In hot debate
Their whims and humors run,
When Jack o’ the Strong Arm square and straight
Stood up, like a man whose word was late,
A reckless and resolute mas.
_ “ Why brawl." said he, “ st sojslight a thing?
Are fifty afraid of one i "
We have taken a stranger intotjaur ring
Ere this. and made him in sport our slug:
So let it io-nlght be done! - LI
“ Fetch him a crown of tinsel blight, ,
For sceptre a tough oak-SM; .
And who most serves to’thc Kiu’s delight.
The King shall dub him his own true knight,
And I swear the King shall'faughl ”
They brought him a monstrous gin-cl crown.
They put the stat in his hadd:
There was wrestling and racisghp and down.
There was'song of singoundl a t of clown,
_ There was strength and slel ht-of-hsnd.
The King, he pledged them wi ' clhrk of can,
He laughed with royal glee ’ .
There was dull mistrust when t sports began.
There was roaring mirth when _e real-most man
Gsve out, and the ring was ,' e. -

With the wit and strength of Imr:

President, I think every person understands
that such is the constitution of one of the
branches of Congress between the two great
political parties of the day that the bill for
the removal of political disabilities, if in:
cumbered with this amendment, cannot ill

ginai bill Ol' upon the amendment. For
three years I have endeavored to obtain a
vote of the Senate upon thequcslion of the
removal of political disabilities. The lime
has come now 'when it seems as if such a
vote might be taken upon this bill unem-
barraSLed by other, and not germane. con-
siderations. Because I desire to see the bill
passed, because now the period .has come
that it ma be passed than on any former
occasion, shall vote ugainst the amend-
ment of the Senator from Wisconsin, and
acaiust the amendment of the Senator from
Massachusetts. because they, in, the actual
situation of affairs, are the deadliest enemies
of the bill. .
N 0 one either in this branch of Congress
or in the other, expects that the bill for the
r.~moval of political disabilities can be passed
and become a law if either the amendment
' of the Senator from Wisconsin or that of the
Senator from .Massacbusetls shall prevail.
I am endeavoring to legislate so as to make
the bill become a law. -thu the Senator
from Massachusetts and the Senator from
Wisconsin shall bring their proposition be-
fore the Senate in. an independent form, I
will vote upon them according as my eon-_'
science shall prescribe ; but here and now I
cannot but regard ‘lhem as a betrayal of the
bill;. I cannot but regard the amendment
as offered here as an assassin of the bill,
"which stabs it in the back on the pretense
Of embracing it ; audI hope that every one
who really wishes a general removal of po-'
- lilical disabilities (for this bill goes no fur-
ther) will unite in excluding all amend-
, meats, and let us come to that question

Ma SHERMAN. I also move to strike out
the last section but one. I ask that it be
read.
The VICE-PRESIDENT, The Secretary will
read the words proposed to bestrieken out.
The Cums CLERK. The section proposed
to be stricken out is:
Sec. —. That every law. statute, ordinance,
re -
lotion or custom inconsistent with this act, go
or mak-
ing any discriminations against any persons on ac-
count of color by using the word “ white ” is hereby
repealed and annulled.
. MR. COLE. . It is very clear that the adop-
tion of this bill as presented will open the
door wide for the naturalization of the Chi-
nese. I am satisfied that if this is adopted it

portions of the United States. They Who

Citizenship; I hope if at this section will
not be adopted. I was in hopes when the
appeal was made to the mover of it that he
would consent to withdraw this part of his
amendment, leaving the bill to cover what
it was the original intention should be cov-
ered by its provisnons, and not, under a cov-
er of language wh-ch might not be construed
to comprehend so much as it really does, to
give the bill wider scope than was intended
by those _ who were favoring it. I hope,

Mr;_ President, as l remarked yesterday, I
shall vote against this as against other
amendments. But with regard to this one
in particular I have a special Objection, for from Massachusetts exerts Federal authority
the. amendment which the Senator from over the schools and the school officers of
Ohio offers is placed before the Senate upon the States that the provision which the Son-

But. sir, I do not wish to go into this ar-
ment. I have neither the time nor the in-’
from Massachusetts, or even into the ques-
tion of expediency involved in that amend-
ment. I rose simply to ask those who sin-
sdoptedpretended ordinances ofaecesslon who voted cerely favor the removal of political disu-
bililies to save the bill from the stab which
this amendment inflicts upon it.
I was remarking when I was interrupted
b the Senator from New York that the
questiOn of the removal of political disabil-
ities has now become anold question. It is
time it was settled. It has confronted us
for the last four years. It met the national
Republican convention at Chicago, and that
convention adopted a principle upon which
we ought to have acted long ago. If we are
true to our principles. if we are indeed such
Republicans as sustain the national platform
of our own party last adopted, we ought
long since to have passed a general bill for
the removal ,of political disabilities.
Bills were offered here from time to time
by different Senators. They scarcely creat-
ed a ripple in this body. At last the Presi-
dent ot' the United States, receiving, no he
must have done, during the last three years,
'lhe most widely extended information from
all portions Of the country, and especially
from that portion of the country upon
which the bill would particularlly operate,
recommends precisely such a bi] as is now
before the Senate- ‘
Last winter we created a committee of
this body to proceed to the Southern states
to make a Careful and thorough examination
_of the condition of things there, especially
to inquire into the outrages and violence
said to exist there, and lo repOrt to us the
facts and the causes and the remedies which
were in their judgment adapted to that
case. That committee, after great labor,
real expense of money and of time, comes
back, and the chairman of that .eommiltce,
with all the experience and information he
has received, advises the passage of the pres-
ent bill. _ '
Under these circumstances it has seemed
to me from the beginning to be ungenerous
to attempt to attach to this bill an ' amend-
ment’whosc only ultimate result could be
its defeat ; and I think that the Senator from
Massachusetts has said that if the amend-
ment were put on the bill in the Senate, it
would then go to the House and be killed—
Mu. SUMNER. No; no; never.
MR. FERRY, of Connecticut. The Sena-
tor must pardon me, but I think it can be
shown that, not indeed in debate here, and
yet not in private conversation, language-
Such as I have just uttered has fallen from
the lips 61' the Senator himself—and that
then the Senator's bill which slands‘first on
the Calender can be taken up and passed,
for a majority of the Senate would then
bq committed'to it. Sir, I like to legislate,
as I like to do everything else, in a straight-
forward way. We have in the bill now be-
fore as a great public question which ought
to be settled on ils own merits, and having
settled that, then let us prodeed to inquire,
first, whether in point of facllbere exist the
evils which the amendment of the Senator
from Massachusetts is intended to remove;
and in the second place, if those evils do ex-
ist, whether that is the pro or remedy; and
1, say to the Senator from assachusetls that
if it shall be made to appear that a portion
of'the citizens Of this country are subjected
to wrong without a remedy, I will go with
him in finding some appropriate remedy;
but I shall have to ask the Senator from
Massachusetts, if I shall be compelled to dif-
fer from him as to the mode of applying a
remedy, as to what is the true and safe and
consxiiulional remedy under our system of
e
roper-bill insuring civil rights to all men JOhio. I was led yesterday into a general 3
expression of opinion in reference to the sells we have the strange ofl'ensl'e created by
MR. FERRY. I disagree with the Senator amendment of the Senator from Massachu- which one who refuses to participate in his

briefly as I can to give the reasons why I to be subjected to fine and imprisonment by ‘ '

and the amendment proposed by the Senator
from Wisconsin alike, are argued here upon which the Senator invokes the Federal Gov-

ivil injury for which he already possessed

l
denial of the facilities furnished by in‘nkeep-
ers and by common carriers to any citizen,
.no matter what his color, is a wrong for
w
courts the damages which he had sufl'ercd overwhelm every State. And now the Sen-
add that in every State of the Union the
hich that citizen could recover in the Slate
thereby. So that in reference to common
Massachusetts by his amendment proposes
only to give a remedy in addition to the
remedy already provided by the common
law of the States for a' wrong that may be
inflicted upon any citizen of the United
States ; and how does He propose to do it l’
Why, from the very foundation of the
common law this denial of accommodations
or facilities by common carriers or inn-
keepers has been regarded simply as a civil
injury that the party wronged thereby might
pursue in his action for damages in the
courts having appropriate jurisdiction. But
now the Senator makes it both a civil injury ‘
and a misdemeanor punishable by fine and
Herelofore the Civil injury
inflicted by a common carrier or an inn-
keeper of the kind specified could be pur-
sued by a citizen of a. State against another
"citizen of the same State only in the courts
of that State ; but now it is to be made a
crime cognizuble in the Federal courts,while
the individual who has sumred the wrong
may also bring his civil ac ion in the Fede-
ral courts. .
The jurisdicition of this class of cases, be-
tween citizens of the same State, is taken
out of the State courts and transferred to the
Federal courts in civil actions, and a new
species of misdemeanor is created to be
prosecuted and punished by the Federal
courts._ And see, sir, at what a change con-
clusion we arrive,if the amendment becomes
a part of the law of the land. If I am dc-
nied by an innkeeper or a common carrier
in my Stale any facility or advantage such
as is described in the amendment because
even of direct malice against me, it is no
misdemeanor on his part, it is no crime pun-
ishable by fine and imprisonment; the Fed-
eral courts have'no jurisdiction of the wrong
inflicted upon me ; , I must go only, to the
courts of my own State where the injury
has been inflicted, and there I am to find re-
dress ; but it the denial of the facility or ad-
vantage is made on account of my color,
then forthwith the same act becomes a mis-
demeanor, for which the party ma be in-
dicted by the grand jury in the ederal
courts, and by the sentence of these courts
subjected to fine and imprisonment, and
also may be prosecuted by me in the same
courts in a civil action. ,
_Now, sir, it is of but little consequence
whether the use of the facilities and advan-
tages ofl'ered by innkeepers and common
carriers are rights, immunities, and priviv
ieges such as are described in the fourteenth
amendment or act. They exist b the com-
mon law of all the States, and t e Senator
will only depress the powers functions
of the States and ' elevate t ower and
functions of the Federal Government by his
amendment. But the other cases are of a
different character. He next would punish
owners of theatres if they refuse to allow
admission into their places of entertainment
to any person on account of color. If I at-
tempt to enter a theatre in Connecticut, and
am excluded from‘ any motive personal to
myself except color, upon the theory of the
Senator from Massachusetts,I must resort
to my action in the courts of In State ; but
ifI am excluded on account 0 my colorI
may go to the Federal courts, and the owner
is guilty of a misdemeanor cognizable in the
Federal jurisdiction.
But, Sll‘, I deny entirely that it is an injury
to a party refu‘sed the purchase of a ticket
to a theatre, for which he may maintain an
action against the licensee or manager of that
theatre. If the manager sells him a ticket,
then all the privileges purchased by that
ticket he has a right to, and if they are re-
fused lic may“ maintain his action against
the manager; but the amendment creates

Since my remembrance, have been accus-
tomed to attend the some schools, and I
never knew or'heard of a denial of the priv-
ilege either by 'law or custom, yet at the
same time with respect to our school system
we are tenacious ; with respect to our rights
over that school system we are tenacious.
It has been our pride from our foundation as
a Commonwealth. Our fathers began by
making provision for the education of every
child, and I have often read the records in
the old town record-books ; and even in
those days the fathers made no discrimina-
tion of color, but provided for the education
ofevery child within the township ; and as
generatrons and centuries have passed away
and we have seen the blessed influences Of
our educational system upon ourselves and
upon those who have gone out from us to
build up communities in other "porlions of
our land, we have grown still, more and
more tenacious of that system, and of our -
- .. power of control of it as we ourselves may
see fit. And we do not like that Represen»
talives from distant States should assist us in"
he control of our school food. or in the dis-
rlbutionfoflhc school moneys provided for

sand such amendmenls as this. but the

But, sir, the Senator is not content with
this. Through all the business ramifica<
tions of society he follows the citizen, taking
away from him the shelter of State law, and
imposing upon him penalties of new crimes
and misdemeanors created by Federal law.
He enters the sanctuary of God with unholy
hand, and he follows the citizen to the grave
and says that he shall not lie there side by
side only with those whom he shall choose
to be his companions in his last resting-place.
And what for ?. What is the need’of all this ?
I’ do not care to talk about constitutional
questions, particularly upon this part of the
amendment. Who hasbecn harmed through-
out this broad land by the denial lo a citizen
of a‘place of sepulture in a public cemetery ?
I listened carefully to the speech of the
Senator from Massachusetts and to his array
of evidence, and I do not remember that
anywhere any wrong had been committed
in reference to the administration of eccle-
siastical organizations, except that he said
somewhere in colored. soldier had been re-
fused the sacrament. Supposehe had; sup:
pose it was wrong; that he was fitted to
communicate, are we, the Congress of the
United States, to dictate to the churches
whom they shall receive to the communion
'of the body and blood of the blessed Lord ?
God forbid it, sir. And yet the only evil in-
flicted by an ecclesiastical organization
which the Senator recited in his long array
ot‘wrongs, as he termed them, was that.
With regard to cemetery associations I
recollect nothing except that he read a let-
ter from some one who stated that in Rhode
Island, while the funeral service mgr the
l‘( mains of a colored woman was being per-
formed in the church her body was left in
the vestibule. I have seen that done with
white persons, and never deemed it was be-
cause of their color. This is the grievance
upon this branch of the amendment which
the Senator from Mississippi invokes the
Federal power to restrain! Sir, it is an ab—
surdity.
Wherever there is a wrong enumerated in
this amendment the law of every State pro-
vides already an adequate remedy. The
Senator from Massachusetts says that
negroes are turned out of cars. Let them
bring their action, and in every State in the
United States the law is so that the have
got the same rights that I have. little
while ago one negro had courage enough to
bring his action in an old slave and rebel
State, and he recovered damages for being
excluded from the cars. -
Ilistened to the Senator’s letter from Mr.
Cardozo, of South Carolina, invoking the
species of Federal legislation, and yet the
law of South Carolina makes every citizen
of that State equal. in rights, privileges and
immunities, in railroad cars, theatres, inns,
and everywhere else. Mr. Cardozo. in that
letter, giving his reasons for the invocation
of Federal authority, said that in their State
courts, judges and juries were so prejudiced
that they could not hope for justice. Judges
and juries so prejudiced in South Carolina,
Where the negro majority is thirty thousand,
where they control the executiveJegrslatrve
and judicial departments of lhogovernment.
Sir, I fear that there are agitators in the
as misdemeanors in making the manager 'of
colored race as well as in the white race,
and I fear that man of the communications
which the Senator rom Massachusetts read
the rights of the colored race.
With regard to cemetery associations and
schools and churches, I am clearly of opin-
ion_ that the Federal Government ought not
to interfere. I think it best to leave those
matters which 'are cognizable b human
law.» to regulation by the States. , Why. sir,
the other Senator from Massachusetts, Mr.
Wilson, a few days since, in'somc bri re-
that in that Commonwealth they had got
over all these old prejudices whereby these
injuries were inflicted upon the colored5noe;
and how did they get over them I Did they}
get over them by creating new crimes, new
penalties and new courts ? They left it to
the slow operation of time and of human
. nature and of the law of God as preached
from the thousand pulpits of Massachusetts,
and it has brought them out right. Better
fill" so to do than attempt the species of legis-
lation which is embodied in the amendment.
But, sir, after all the impulse that I have
fell upon ‘ me‘ to”speak- on this matter has
been crcatednot so much by the legislation
embodied in this amendment aeby the rinc .
crples upon whieh‘that legislation has been
attempted to be justified before this body.
In substance the principle is the same,
whether it is enunciated by the Senator flora
Massachusetts, Mr. Sumner,) the Senator
fromWisconsin,(Mr. Carpenter). That princ- -
iple substantially isthis: that by the adaption
of the three most recent amendments to the "
stem of Govemmeut- has been subverted.
on may undertake to draw a line short of
the position assumed by the Senator flom
Indiana, as the Senator from Wisconsin did
attempt, but it will be in vain. Your rea-
soning upon this bill carries you to the full
length of givin to the Federal Government
complete lcgis alive authority over every
interest affecting the life,liberly and proper-
ly ot'cvery citizen of the United States, and
leaves to the State Legislatures absolutely
nothing. .
N ow let us see. Senators have based their
arguments upon the fourteenth article of
amendment to the Constitution. The Sens-
tor from Massachusetts based :1 part of his
3
stretch of construction so extravagant that ‘
no one has followed him therein; deriving '
from an amendment that says'not one word
about colg, that has'not a suggestion of dis-
criniinalions about color in it, an amend-
ment that only prohibits slavery and
'mlhorizes Congress to enact laws to enforce
the prohibition, the power to enter into the
churches and schools of the States and create
crimes and misdemeanors and. inflict fines
and penalties because of discriminations of
color. It seems to me that the statement of -
the claim thus set up by the Senator from
Massachusetts in relation to the thirteenth
amendment is its own refutation. But the-
claim made with regard to the fourteenth
amendment is more plausible. It is under
the following three clauses that the Sena-
tors insist upon the right to enact the amend-
ment proposed by thefienator fl'om Moses.
' To " '
Raymond . Bros. n. hauntifiotxotgigez? Pi» .‘cm’d' that the amendmciit of- the Senator in without thereby consenting-to an expression he placed this clause in his amendment how chusetts :— .

' ue process of law; nor deny to any person within
its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” ,
Now, it is said in regard to all three of '
these clauses that, without waiting for any
action on the part of the States, considering
simply the subject matter to which the
three clauses refe . Congress has the right
to enact affirmative laws to the full scope of .
the subjects embraced in them, so that upon
this reasoning Congress may enact laws to.
secure the privileges and immunities of citi-
zens ofthe United States; may enact laws
may enact laws giving to all persons the

principle of this amendment, if State laws .

~and Congresashall deem that '

amendment to protect citizens in life, liberty
and properly, it may enact laws-inflicting a
punishment of “reply years’ imprisonment.
Murder is a crime which deprives a man of
life. Hitherto the States have enacted laws
for its suppression; but, upon-the theory of
Senators, Congress, under the fourteenth
amendment, has full power to. enact laws for
the protection of life, and if it deem, as
many deem, the death nowinflicted by the
laws of most of the States loo_seyere,Con-
gross may change that, and make the penal-
ty of murder imprisonment for life, and
all State laws are abrogated ' instantly
thereby. ,_
Mu. CARPENTER. Will I disturb my friend
if I ask him a question at that point 1’
Mn. REY. Not at all. '
Mu. ARPENTER. This subject is so ex-
ceedingly important and the Senator is dis-
ncss that I desire to put this exact question
to him, because I want to hear his view of
it. Suppose the State of Mississippi to-
morrow should pass a law repealing all puns
ishmcnt for murdering a black man, and in
that State of things the matter comes 'lo
knowledge of Congress. The fourteenth
article of the Constitution says that “no
State shall deny to any person the e ual
protection of the laws.’ he State of is-
sissippi has done it by abolishing the statute
which punishes murder if committed upon a
black man. The last clause of the fourteenth
amendment is that “Congress shall have
power by appropriate legislation to en-
force lhis article.” Now, how is that to be
done unless Congress in such a case shall
pass slow to punish the murder of black
men in Mississipi'?
Mu. FERRY. The case which the Senator
supposes is not one arising within the prin-
ciples upon which this amendment has been
argued from beginning to end.
Ila. CARPENTER. No: I concede that.
MR. FERRY. If a State actually enacts a
“law depriving a citizen of the equal protec-
tion of the laws, I will not undertake to say
that under the fourteenth amendment Con-
gress may not legislate; nor will I aver that
under the fourteenth amendment it may log-
islate. I will simply leave that as a queso
tion to be decided when the exigency shall
arise. It may turn out to bea docile mm' a,
or it may be a proper matter for legislation
hv Congress under the fourteenth amend-
ment. ' .
not what I am considering, and have been
considering all the while, is the principle
upon which this particular amendment has
been argued, going so far as to saly that pre--
liminary to, and utterly. regard css of, all
State legislation, State authority, or State
function, Congress by virtue of the four-
month amendment has full, complete, and
sweeping jurisdiction'to enact laws for the '
security of the rights, privileges and immu-
nities of the citizens ot‘:'the United States
and of the several States .to the fullest extent
to which Stale legislation has ever been cn-r '
joyed by. the States during. the whole histo-
ry of our country. Congress, upon the
theory advocated by the Senator from Indi-
aha—and the Senator from Wisconsin must
pardon me, but I, cannot . see the distinction
in principle between that theory and .his
own, although he reprobaled, and I think
deservedly, the theory of the Senator from
Indiana—Congress, upon the theo
is necessary to give to all citizens
protection the laws, that it is necessary.
secure all citizens in the right to life,
borough and hamlet in the nitedStales
and enact ordinary police laws, and put a
Federal officer to keep guard over your
streets. , , ' ' _ -
Now, where are we going to-land ? I agree
with the Senator fl’om‘ Wisconsin that this
is an exceedingly important question. We-
:lrc diving down now to those deep ques-
tions which underlie the Government, and
for to-day and for-all time to come. what are
the changes made in this Government by-
rhe adoption of the three last amendments
to the Constitution. If they mean all that
