A ROinewiiat interesting letter Ly a rever
end iieutleman, who is abont to pxillish a
work on lhe Holy; Land, for the: Christian
Knowi Sc Society, Las appeared, on the
buhjeet of-.the' Dead Sen. The reverend
gentleman, who has for a long time resided
on the bliores of this famous lake," 'with a
view to the study: of the natural history ot it
environs and of the land generally, briefly
dissipates route of t ho most erroneous but
best established illusions nnd traditions re
Hpecting this maligned spot. Hitherto it
has been supposed, and even decided in
school IkioUs, thnt the -niarfrin of the great
salt sea was fatal-to-animal and vegetable
life. This is that "first 1'ooli.sh fond . tradi
tion' which this'new authority hastens to
dispel. So far from beina: fatal, one hun
dred and eighteen specimens of birds either
swim, through or fly over its waters The
birds which fell plump dovn.de;id as Cole
ridge s albatross, killed by the niephitic
vapors-! the gloomy pool are a nieremvrh
More than forty specimens of mammalia
revel on its banks, in its cane-brakes and
jungle. Indigo, maize and barley crow on
soiue of its approaches to within a few feet
of the margin. Hence it must be consider
ed rather a Paradise than a Aceldama. The
reverend writer, indeed, suggests that; on
account of its salt and sulphur spriugs, it
should be adopted as a . sanatorium, iancy
the Jfead ea as a new Uaden, and a com
pany established to make it a place of fash
lonable resort. Things more unlikely have
happened ere this ; and save that bathing is
more or less " impracticable, because one's
feet will rise above one's head in swimmiug
en these dense waters, there appears no
practicable difficulty in ' the way of such a
scheme. . 1 - , - ..

xne 3rear tnat nas just passed awav was
too momentous with srreat events to have

was the bearing away with it into the solemn

To the Senate of the United. States : I regret
that the bill which has passed both House of Con
gress, entitlod "An act to protect all persons in
the United States iu their ninl rights, and furn
ish the means of their vindication,'' contains pro
visions which I cannot approve consistently with
my seu.-e of duty to the whole people, and my
obligations to the Constitution ;of the tnited States.
PBOVISIOSS. ' - '
I am, therefore, constrained to return it to the
Senate, the House in which itoriginated, with my
objections to its becoming a law. By the tir-t
section ot the bill all persons born in the United
States, and not subject to any foreign power, ex
cluding Indians not taxed, arodeclarod to beciti
xens of the United States. This provision com
prehends the Chinese of the Pacific States, Indi
ans subject to taxation, the people called Oipsies.
as well as the entire Tace designated as black,
people of color, negroes, mnlattocs and persous
of Af rican blood.
" ' FEDERAL ClTlZKSfHUp".
Every individual of these races, born ir the
United States, is by the bilf made a citizen of tho
United States. It doesnot purpose to declare or con
for any other right of citizenship than Federal
citizenship." it does not purport to n: thwe
classes of persons any sttttus as citizens of Slates,
excopt tha't which may result from their statu as
citizens of the United States. The power to con
fer the ritrbt of State citizenship is just as exclu
sively with the several States as power to confer
tho right of Federal citizenship is with Uuiircss.
Tne right of Federal citizenship thus to be con
ferred on the several exoepted race before men
tioned is, now for the first time proposed loi be
given by law; f, as isclaimed by many, all persons-
who are native born are by- virtue of the
Constitution citizens of the United States, the pas
sage of the pending bill cannot be necessary to
make them such., ..- - ' . ..
If. on-the other hand, such persons are not citL
iens, as may be assumed from the proposed legis
lation to make them such, the grave question pre
sents iUelf whether, when. eleven ot the thirty
six States are unrepresented in Congress at this
time, it is sound policy to make our entire colored
population, and all other excepted cla-sses. citi
zens of hc United States. 1 Four millions of them
have just emerged frcmslaverv into freedom.
Can it he reasonably supposed that they possess
the requisite qualiiications to entitle them to all
the privileges and immunities of citizens of the
Vnited Statfeg ? , Have the people of the several
States expressed such conviction ? It may alio be
afked whether it is necessary that they should be
declared citizens in order that they may be se
cured in the enjoyincnt-of the civil rights propos-.
ed to be conferred by the bill ? Those rights are,
by Federal as-well as State laws, secured to all
domiciled aliens and foreigners, even before the
completion of the process of naturalization, and
It may safely be assumed that 'the same enact
ments are sufficient to eive like protection and
benefits to those for whom this bill provides special
legislation. - --).. ;::;; if;
Besides, the policy of the Government, from its
origin to the present time, seems to have been
that persons who are strangers to and unfamiliar
with our institutions and our laws, should pass
through a certain probation, at the end of which
before attaining the coveted privilege, they must
give evmenco ot ineir ntness to receive and to ex
ercise tho rights of citizens, as contemplated by
tne onsuiuuon 01 mo united states.' . -
" " ; . TUB ECRO RACE. : .. r.
The bill, in effect, proposes a discrimination
against aiarge number of irelligent, worthy
and patriotic foreigners, and in favor of tho nogro,
to whom, after-long years of bondage, the ave
nues ot I r ecu 0111 a 11 a intelligence bave just now
been suddenly' opened. He must, of necessity,
i rum n is previous uniortunate condition of scr
vitudo, be lefs informed as to the nature and
character of our institutions, than he who, coming
from abroad, has, to some extent, at least, famil
iarized himself with the principle of a govern
ment to which he voluntarily intrusts life, libertv
and the pursuit of happiness." Yet it is now pro
posed, ty a single legislative enactment, to con
fer the rights of citizens upon all persons of Af
rican descent born within the extended limits of
the United States, while persons of foreign birth.
who make our land their home, must undergo a
probation of five years, and can only then become
citizens upon proof that they are of good moral
character, attached to the- principles of the Con
stitution or tne united fetate8ana well disposed
to the good order and happiness of the same. . ,
lhe nrst section of the bill also contains an enu
meration of the rights to be eujoved by these
classes sj mad citisens in every State and Ter
ritory of the United States.' These rights are u
make and enfotee contracts,. tu sue, bo parties and
gijre evidence; - to inherit, purchase, lease, sell.
bold and convey Tent and personal property, and
to have full, and equal benefit of all laws and pro
ceedings for the security of person and propgrty
as is now;. enioyea oy wnito citizens- jso. too.
they are mado subject ,ta the same punishment,
pains and penalties In common willi white citi
zens and to none others. Thus a perfect equality
of the white and colored racts is attempted te bo
nxed by f ederal law in every state ot tno union
over the vast field of State .jurisdiction covered
by these enumerated rights. In no one of tbeso
can any Stare exercise any discrimination between
the different races. In the exercise of State pol
icy over matters exclusively affecting tho people
of each State, it has frequently been thought ex
pedient to discriminate between the two faces.' .
: i' STATE 8S.1CTJ SSTS. r - rf
' Ey the' statute of soaio of the States, Northern
as well as Southern, it is enacted, for instance,
that no white person shJCllntermarTy with a ne
gro or mulatto. Chancellor Kent fays, speaking
of the blacks, "that marriages between l hem and
the whitog are--- forbidden in om6 of the Htntes
where slavery did not exist, and they ore niohib-
ito t in alt ihesjavc-holding States; .and when not
absolutely contrary to law, fheyarc revolting. and
regarded as an oienso. against publio uecoruai.;
I do not say that this' bill repents State laws on
toe saljjeetof marriage between too two races.fer
as the whites .are iorbilden . to. intermarry with
the blacks, the blacks, can euly make such con
tract as the - white .themselves are allowed lo
make; and taerebre cannot . under ihis bill, en
ter .into the marriage contraot with the whites.
L cite tb is discrimination, however," as an In
stance of the State. policy as to. discrimiuatioa,-
and to inquire whetber- ir yongress can a o ro
tate all State laws of discrimination between the
two race in the matter of real estaea, pf suit,
and 'of contracts generally. Congress may not al-.
0 repeal the State laws, as to the contraot of mar
riage between the races 1 Hitherto every uhjct

I , raOaaAL RESTBAIHT8. . -. '
I do not mean to say that npoa all these subjects
theri are-not FederaK restraint.- 'As-forrttstanee, -
in the State power of legislation over contracts,
there is a Federal limitation that no State shall
pass a law impairing, the obligations of. tbe cob- '
tract; and as to crimes that no State snail pass

citizens, between artificial persons, called corpo
rations, and national persons, in the right to hold
real estate '.
.' If It be granted that Congrvns can repeal att
State law discriminating between white and
blacks iu tho subject covered by this bill, why, It
maybe asked, iuay not Congress repeal. Iu the
name way, all those law discriminating between
the two raefce on tho subject of suffcage and of
fice ? If Congress can declare, by law. who sbaH
hold lauds, who shuJt testify, wbe shall have ea
panity to make a contract in a State, then Con

The object of tbesecond section of the bill is to
afford discriminative protection to colored per
comin the full enjoyment f all the rights se
cured tn them - By the preceding section ir le
elaros that "any. person who. under eolorof tbe
law, -statute, -ordinance , reflation or custom,

coeding one thousand dollar.- or imprisonment

of the court."-... m .- 3.;; r. ;.-. : . ..1
This' section seems to be designed - to apply to
somo existing or future lawof aSiateor Territory,
which may conflict with the provisions of the bi'tt
now under - consideration. - It firovides for coun
teracting such forbidden legislation by imposing
a fine and imprisonmont apon the legislators who
may pas such oontticting laws, or upon the offi
cers or agents who shall putor attempt to put them
into execution. . It means an ofiioial offeace. sot
acommon erime com mil tod againrt law apon tho
person or property of the black man.: acfc an hot
may deprive tbe black man of -his preperty, bat
not of tbe right to hold property. it means de
privation of this right itself, either by the State
judiliary or tho State Legislature, ft in, there-
lore, assamed taat, under this section, soeraber
of State Legislatures, who shoo Id vote for laws
conflicting : with., the provisions of this bill, that
judge of the State Conrta ,who should render,
judgments in antagonism with .its terms, and that
marshals and sacrixU who. snould, as ministerial
officers, execute process sanctioned by .State. laws
and issued by State iudires in execution of Jhcir.
judgments, could be brought before other tribu ,
nals, and. there subjected to aline and imprison
onment for the performance of their duties which
eueh State laws might impose. ' ' .
The legislation thus proposed invade the judi.
cial power of the State. , It ayi to every SUto.
court or judge. '-If you deciao that this act ia
unconstitutional;, if you refuse, under the pro
hibition of a State, to allow a negro, to testify; if
you hold that, over such a subject matter, the late
is paramount, and under coJor. of a Stato law re
fuse the exercise of the right to tbe negro, your'
error of judgment, however conscientious, shall.,
subject you to 6neand punuhment." , I do cot,
apprehend that tbe conflicting legislation, which,
the bill seems to contemplate, is likely to occur a
to render it necessary at this time to adopt atnea
uro of such doubtful constitutionality. . v
