Suppose the Herald wero to reit
erate the charges made against Mr.
Patterson of witholding funds in pay
ment of the registered warrants of the
countv, when he was county trensurer,
to t!i injury of the county, and the
owners of ihc warrants would that be
any reason why Mr. Cush ay's party
friends should not vote for him?
It should be well tinder -too I that
the hoard of Cass couuty romming'ton
ers have not let a-.sy contracts to the
highest bidder, either as to the county
attorney business or Hiiy other business
auel he who says they have, states that
which is not true Mr. Aden Beson
ha.i not been employed ai county at
torney, except to attend to the cases
now in process of litigation, and in this
the board of corauiissionejs consider
they have elone their full h;ty in look
ing after the interests of the county.
Mr. Allan Beksos elesires the man,
whoever he may be, especially if he i3 a
lawyer, as he, (Beeson) says he believe
that individual pretend to be, to staud
righ; up and say whether or not he
considers one hundred doll u was to
much to charge f r the business he has
transacted for Cass county. Mr. Bee
son further says he.is willing to let a com
mittee of honest grangers examine
the amount of work he hi done for
the couuty, and for which he charged
$100, and say whether or not he has
charged too much; that he is willing to
let a committee of merchants or me
chanics or lawyer?, examine his work
and pass their judgment upon his
ch irges. That for the work he has done
for the county in these cases, he would
not think of charging an eirdinary cli
ent lr-Fs than the amount he charged,
the county. Mr.' BeeBon will person
ally ventilate this county attorney at
tack upon himself before the campaign
closes and certain gentlemen who have
hveu unking them, under . assumed
n a e, will wish they had not med
dled wi h ih.t nutter, or else that they
i h nl be.-n truthful and hemest in their
statements.
TubIIeuali is ready .md williug to
conduct the present campaign on the
grounds of Mr. Allen Bee?on's employ
ment by the county. Now let our
democratic tault tinder phow wherein
Mr. Beeson's charge was too high.
Mr. Newell, Mr. Jeuuings Mr. Eikeu-
bary, and every other lepublicau candi
date, and all their relcives, together
with the republican pr: y uf Cass couu

favor of lettiug any contracts to the
h'ghest bidder.

The democratic mauiiors of this cam- e
paign should bear in miii 1 the last
spring's city election, und remember
that personal abuse ot j;ood citizens
imkis votes against the urty that re
sorts to such mean 4 to secure votes.
General Smith is too wi 11 and favorably
known in this community to lie de
stroyed by any euch a set of men as :re
ba king at his heels, lie treats hi fei
lovv men fairly, and will be heard from
in this campaign to I be n.tire satisfac
tion ot the ward bummers who are as
suming a lietu', because it is a politi
cal campaign, lo make 1 ing attacks
upon him through the public prints.
The llE tAi.n prop ses to do ils utmost
to elect the republican ticket, but not
by throwing mud at good democrats
with whom we expect to hafe to live
anl associate with , alter this campaign
is over.
We think the republican ticket
should faiily and honorably be sup
ported by ail good republicans, from
the top to the bottom ; -because it is a
better ticket than our democratic
ueitfhbors have put up If our demo
cratic friends have any valid icasons
why Mr. Cushing should be chosen
couuty treasurer over Mr. Newell, the
best county treasurer Cas couuty Las
ever hud, we w.n.il be glad lo know
them. If John Green wo ild in;;ke n
better count) clerk than Mr. Jennings,
the best couuty clerk we have ever
had; if Mr. Green is a more fit and ca
pable uiuu, let us have the reasons and
jacts; let the voters know them, aim
ao we say with each nominee oh the
republican ticket.
Ccme ou, gentlemen, we would like
you to compare tickets and see if we
have not the best men before the pub
lic. CIVILIRICHTS BILL.
From the Sioux City Jouwul.
Washington special : The decision o!
the United Scatt-s supreme court
in the
civil rights e-ase was not enliiely tim-x-pected.
The decision in a similar e.iso
last winter had created the impression
that the court would alarm tue uncon
stitutionality of the law. The persons
who have manifesteel the greatest int
terest in the decision are the Washing
ton hotel keepers. The hotels since tne
law was passed have not received col
ored persons. No prosecution has been
attempted. There has has been so much
doult as to the constitutionality that
there has been tin disposition to at
tempt to enforce the law except against
one or two restaurant keepers. The
decision of todav in eftect allects its
constitutionality as to the District oi
(Columbia and the territories. Several
of the hotel keepers declare that they
will give the law no more recognition
north of the Potomac than thev will be
required to ;o south of the Potomac
river, and that the hotel keepers gen
erally wojld doubtless incur the risk of
nenalties ot the act rather than to ad
mit negroes to their tables. The sup
Dlementarv civil rights act was uneler
consideration f m January to March
1875, and durin j ihe consideration of
it occutrel t. e rotracted deadlock in
the house which has beco ne historical.
Mr. Randall was the leader of the oppo
sition. The hid was passed in the
house by a vote of 148 to 118.
The republicans who voted against it
were Butler. Harrison and Tnorn-
burgh, of Tennessee; Hyde and Stan-
ard. of Missouri; Lowndes, or Alary
land: Sever and Ambler Smith, of
Virginia; Walter Phelps, ot New Jer
sev: Kav. of JUiuois; St. John, of New
York, and Thomas, of Virginia; and in
the reDublican uress of the day their
names were often printed in black let
ters under the caption: "The republi
can enemies of civil rights.
In the senate the bill was passed
yeas, 38; uays, 26; absent 9. The af
firmative vote was wholly republican,
and among the negative votes were
these republicans: Carpenter, of Wis
consin; Ferry, of Connecticut; Hamil
ton, of Texas; Lewis, of Virginia;
Schurz, Sprague and Tipton.
Mr. Carpenter made an argument iu
the senate against the constitutionality
of the law; eicclared that all of its pro
visions were in conflict with the con
stitution, and predicteel that the su
preme court would hold it invalid aid
voiel. Edmunds, on the other hand,
was the advocate of the constiiution-
ality of the bill. He insisted that the
purpose of the bill was to protect the
people against discriminations founded
exclusively upon color. Iu the eight
years since the bill passed it has failed
to justify the expectation of its friends
or tbg predictions cf its enemies. The
first iudicial opiuioa under the new
law wa9 delivered by Judge Emmous,
of Tennessee, who iu a chirge to the
i crand mrv in reference to the civil
rights bill, declared it to be unconsti -
' tutional; maintained that
States could not interfere
the United
with hotel
proprietors or' common
carriers, and
83erta,l the right3 ct the States to care
t tor tiKir own private aflairs.
