THE CIVIL RIGHTS RILL.
PASSAGE OVER THE VETO.
or in tox a or the public mess.
Tub passage of the Civil .Fights bill by th 3
Senate of tbo Uiated States over the veto of
the rrcHldent, marks an era la our hbitory
that will stand forth boldly la all time to
come. Its success In the Senate shows the
Initiation ot a powerful movement against the
Prerident and the Conservative party.
The warlietween radicalism and conserva
tism U now fairly commenced, aud for this
the people may be thankful, because It takes
of! an embargo from Congressional business
action. The work of regulating the finances,
the tariff, the foreign policy, and reconstruc
tion, must move smoothly to consummation.
1 he financial and commercial stagnation of
the past three month9 muot now be gradually
obliterated, and we trust that a healthy fe al
io g of confidence will spring up among the
people.

"YeBtoraay tho United Slates Senate passed, by a

From the Daily News Ben. Wood's Radi
cally Democratic Organ of the 4-11-44 and
Shent-per-Shent Opposition:
"Yesterday the Senate pasned tho Civil Kisrhts bill

Houite wilt pans it by a like majority, it will then
remain to be seen whether the President will enloro j

might follow an open rupture between the I
Executive and Legislative departments.
" The President, in the exercise of his constitutions
power, returned io the Souate, without his approval
a measure called the Civil Kh'hts bill. The Senate
in turn, yesterday exercised its constitutional pre
rogative in voting by the ivqutsite majority that the
measure should become law, independently ot the
Executive veto.

The LTerald, shr?wdly supporting the Presi
dent, because it pays just now, is satisfied
with a general notice o I the events of yester
day in the Senate, as follows :
"t he Senate yesterday passed tho Civil Rights bill
over ibe President's veto, oy a vote oi tairty-three to
tiltcen. lhu hi I originally passed tbe Senate on
Pebruaiy 2, bv a v te of tmrty-ihroo to twelve, flvo
memt era being ub-c nt It passed tno House of Ke
prcsentalivcs on Alaroli 13 tbo rote being ono hun
dred and e even in favor to thirty-eight against (not
quite two thirds;, with thirty-four members not
voting. Ot the live Sonatois not voting oa the
ouginai bill, viz : Ckkswell, Doolittle, Uriues,
Johnson and Wright Mossrs. Doolittlb, John
son and Wright voted lor sustaining the Presi
dent, whie ilesi-rs. Cukbwell und GrtlMaS cast
their votes for tbe bill. Tho conservatives lost the
vote of Stockton, while tbey trained that of Lank
ol Kanas, who supported the bill originally.
"Mr. Lducnds, tho new eeuator trom Vermont,
voted tor tho Dili. Air. Iiizon was the only member
of tbe Senate not voting. Senator Moroan, who
cant bis vote in lavor ot the Froedmeu's Bureau hill,
and afterwards voted to sustain the President's veto,
voted lor tho bill, as he did orijnnally. Tho Now
York State senate on Wednesday lust nassod a reso
lution expiossing disappointment aud regret at the
veto of this bill by the President.
"There was a great deal of excitement in the
Senate dm lug the discussion preceding the passage
of the bill, the galleries be ng donsoly 11 led and the
floor occupied by miembers of the Uouse of Repre
sentatives and other privileged persons. On tbe re
sult oi tho vote being announood much applausne
followed, the friends of the measure being especially
jubilant."
The Conduct and Language of the Op
posing Senators.
iT'svas only natural that the passage of the
Civil Eights bill over the veto of the President
should cause intense excitement in the politi
cal world. It is not to be supposed but that
the gentlemen who were bitterly opposed to
the bill should feel irritated and disappointed
when they saw its adoption inevitable. But
that Senators of the United States, supposed
Put. tf ifTl oinl Hrrnifv anil
e dellberation) Bhould 80 far forget them.
selves as to utter the sentiments attributed
to certain members of the opposition, is a dis
grace on the country as well as on themselves.
That these gentlemen have a perfect right
to favor the "President's yeto none will deny.
That in all legal and honorable ways they
had a right to endeavor to secure the triumph
of their views is not a question. They had as
much right to their views as Senators Sum
neb and Trumbull had to theirs, and if
tb'ey were honest and conscientious, they de
serve the respect of all. But the petty anger
and bitter rage exhibited by Messrs. S a.ui.s
bvby and Davis would be inexcusable even
in Indignant school-boys. These grave, and
and reverend seignors aspired apparently to
the dignity of treason. The entire debate
was not such a one as a citizen of tho United
States would have desiied. Both parties ex
hibited an acrimony and a rim totally inex
cusable, because of the occasion. Let us
"ote a few passages. The, following will

these two Senators. We can see no possible
good which could possibly comn Irom the
uttcranco of such sentiments. Surely Mr.
Saclpbury could not think that his threat
would frighten any of tho friends' of the bill
to such an extent that they would change
their votes, because 6t the terrible attitude of
Delaware Senator. It was nothing more
nor less than an fillc, useless, childish, and
Inexcusable outburst of ill-humor, and Is
another display of what things Mr. Willabd
Saulsbubt is capable. There is more
excuse for that gentleman than there Is for
Mr. Gabkett Davis.
Saulsbubt is excitable, and subject to
extraneous lnfluenc38. Davis is prosy and
deliberative, and his whole course Is not un
like an "October rain," chilly, disagreeable,
and enduring. Ilia utterances were wilful
opt n treason. If the opinions of that gontle
man were at all dangerous, it would be
stilctly within the power of the Senate to
expet him from his seal. But his very insig
nificance is his protection, so that while court
ing the honors of martyrdom, we fear tho
member will sigh for an au'o da fe in vain.
Without, then, entertaining any personal
or political bias, we deplore tbii exhibition of
passion. It was undignified, and calculated
to lower tho attitude of the Senate. It ex
poses us to the sneers of Europe , and the con
tempt of the sober portion ot our own popula
tion. Let the calm, deliberate bearing of the
good old days bo continued in the Senate,
and decency never outraged by such an
exhibition as made the .debate yestorday
partake of the nature of an angry school
boy's quarrel.
The New Jersey Dead Lock.
Among the politicians of Camden and the
other counties of the First Congressional
District, the feelings of indignation against
James M. Scovki, is growing more embit
tered every day, because of his betrayal ot
the party which elevated him to Its confidence
and trust. Many are strongly in favor of an
extra session ol the Legislature to elect a
United Stales Seuator, but others again deem
it the best policy to let the matter lay over,
and trust to the complexion of the next Joint
meeting. Tho Republicans have strong faith
in their ability to elect members of their party
sufficient to have a majority ; but the Cop
perheads will make it the most bitter and
active campaign that has ever been carried
on in the State. Tbey will use every eflbrt
to gain the ascendancy, and with the newly
acquired services of the' man who would
not "weep over Hecuba," they will
make desperate battle, and "defy
the world, the flesh and the devil." For this
reason they are now petting him, and offer
him their pity and condolence, while their ex
pressions of sympathy fall like honey on his
ears and tongue. But if anything can mor
tify these men, or even Mr. Scovel, it is the
fact that the Civil Eights ibll has been
passed over President Johnsoh's veto.
Coming, as it does, on the heelB of Mr.
Scovel's perfidy in -Trenton, it can
not fail to be a most annoying and
scathing rebuke to him. When it is remem
bered that his refusal to act with his party,
was for the purpose ot leaving New Jersey
in an attitude to favor that veto, the Senator
from Camden ttands alone in his infamy,
the "weeping Nlobe and Lost Paradise" of
Jersey. To-day he would gladly, if he has
any political honor left, give back half he is
worth could he regain the friends and posi
tion he has lost by his perfidy. But the
Union party has spurned him from Its ranks,
and the Copperheads whom he has been so
eagerly and willingly serving, will not
receive him back into their confidence a
confidence which ho betrayed in the early
6tages of his political career. He became,
like Esop's raven, dissatisfied with his Demo
cratic flock, and plumed himself in peacock
leathers, until his selfishness and deception
were discovered ; and then the birds whom he
endeavored to pass himself off among as one
of them, suddenly turned upon him and
picked him bare. He then went back
to his own species, but while they
pitied they did not dare to trust him. Una
ble to stand this, Mr. Scovel trans
formed himself, not into the animal "FJecuba"
was, but into a "mountain partridge." In
this newly assumed capacity he will hunted
to his death. But the great Republican
party of New Jersey will see the necessity of
going to work early and earnestly in the
cause of saving the State from the control of
the influences which have, in the present
instance, set at defiance a plain and unequivo
cal provision of the State Constitution, and.
tied the hands of the Governor in the appoint
ing power.
W hat W ill the Arrival ot Stephens Eflect ?
Oub Fenian Mends have been telling, us for
months that their cause would yet be a suc
cess. Internal dissentlon, powerful enemies,
bitter rivalry, lack of funds, and, worse than,
all, absence of opportunity or plans, have
naturally caused the less sanguine American
to doubt whether tle Hibernian blood of out
fellow-citizens had-not thrown, a glamour over
what was really Impracticable. Whenever
we urged these objections tne invariable
answer would be, "Wait until James (Ste
phens arrives; he will settle everything."
The American people have thus learned to
look upon the coming oi the C. E. L R. as
the fcoothlng balm for all the ills which
Fenian flesh is heir to; and now we are
assured that the hero is coming. We are told
that his flight from Ireland la not caused by
necessity, but by a desire to visit our shores,
and pour oil upon the troubled waters
of the O'Maiioh y and Siteent oceans. The
Head Centre of America, officially declares his
anticipated approach. H e eloquently announces
that " he Is now combjg to the United States
for the purpose of restoring harmonious
council and well concerted action among all
true friends of Ireland on the American con
tinent, to reconcile all discordant elements,
and to make a last appeal for his suffering
country to all liberty-loving men throughout
the world. His stay will be but short in our
midst."
With all the faith expressed and admiration
felt, we are at a loss to see what permanent
good Mr. Stephens' arrival here can secure.
We believe him to be a pure patriot, a high
minded gentleman, a man who lias risked his
life for his country, and would gladly d'e for
his principles. We yield him all the praise
which his warmest admirers could desire.
But Stephens is not omnlponent His purity
of purpose cannot subdue the power of Eng
land. His honesty cannot prevent his coun
try being overrun in twenty-four hours with
British troops.
His strength of will and love of country
cannot alter the decrees of nature, and the
decrees of nature are against the success of
the Fenian movement. True, he may har
monize the discordant elements la the Bro
therhood, and we earnestly hope he may ; for
thon he would only have one instead of
two chimerical projects. He may do away
with the bitterness of party dissension, but a
dozen James Stepiienses could not bring the
project one step nearer success. As the
hopes of the Irish-American population are
all based on the great things he will do, we
are glad of his arrival; for the bubble must
burst, and the longer It continues to attract
with its thousand colors the fancy of the poor,
the heavier will be ti e loss and tho greater
the despair when tho end is reached.
Scovel's Case.
DbamatiCALLy considered, tha President of
the New Jersey Senate is one of tho most
versatile of perlormers. When he first an
nounced himself, he was a "partridge upon
the mountains," liable at any moment to fall
Into the snares of the fowler, or to be brought
down by a well-directed shot from some skil
ful huntsman. His second appearance was
as the "rock of Gibraltar," immovable in its
strength, and entirely devoid of anything like
an ornithological nature. Having tried tho
earth and the air, hla last resort was to "take
water," and in a moment of inspiration he
proposed a visit to the mermaids, after the
manner of tbe Cumberland, with a flag fly
ing. Bis last effort was of the earth, earthy,
being nothing more nor less than the order
ing of an obnoxious Journalist from the floor
oi the body over which he presided.
Scovel is a young man J and perhaps has
something to learn. He has a good opinion
of his own abilities, and in thl he does well.
A proper self-esteem is an excellent trait,
but it may be carried to the extreme of ego
tism. - Mr. Scovel has It in his power to
delay important action, as far as the election
of a United States Senator from New Jersey
is concerned, but current events must show
that his 'power is comparatively worthless.
He holds a barren sceptre, and unless he can
make his position pay in a pecuniary sense, he
has certainly failed in his coup d'etat. It Is
to be hoped that when he retires to private
life he will be a wiser man.
