The Senate then adjourned at ten o’clock and twenty minutes on the morning of May 22d.
Nothing further occurred on this interesting subject during the remainder of the session. The Amnesty Bill became a law. The Civil Rights Bill was not considered in the House; so that even this imperfect measure failed. At the next session of Congress Mr. Sumner was an invalid, under medical treatment, and withdrawn from the Senate, so that he was unable to press his bill; nor did any other Senator move it.
December 1, 1873, on the first day of the session, Mr. Sumner again brought forward his bill in the following terms:—
A Bill supplementary to an Act entitled “An Act to protect all persons in the United States in their civil rights, and furnish the means of their vindication,” passed April 9, 1866.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That no citizen of the United States shall, by reason of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, be excepted or excluded from the full enjoyment of any accommodation, advantage, facility, or privilege furnished by innkeepers; by common carriers, whether on land or water; by licensed owners, managers, or lessees of theatres or other places of public amusement; by trustees, commissioners, superintendents, teachers, or other officers of common schools and public institutions of learning, the same being supported by moneys derived from general taxation or authorized by law; also of cemetery associations and benevolent associations supported or authorized in the same way: Provided, That private schools, cemeteries, and institutions of learning, established exclusively for white or colored persons, and maintained respectively by voluntary contributions, shall remain according to the terms of their original establishment.
Sec. 2. That any person violating any of the provisions of the foregoing section, or aiding in their violation, or inciting thereto, shall, for every such offence, forfeit and pay the sum of five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby, to be recovered in an action on the case, with full costs, and shall also, for every such offence, be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not less than five hundred nor more than one thousand dollars, or shall be imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than one year: Provided, That the party aggrieved shall not recover more than one penalty; and when the offence is a refusal of burial, the penalty may be recovered by the heirs-at-law of the person whose body has been refused burial.
Sec. 3. That the same jurisdiction and powers are hereby conferred, and the same duties enjoined upon the courts and officers of the United States in the execution of this Act, as are conferred and enjoined upon such courts and officers in sections three, four, five, seven, and ten of an Act entitled “An Act to protect all persons in the United States in their civil rights, and furnish the means of their vindication,” passed April 9, 1866, and these sections are hereby made a part of this Act; and any of the aforesaid officers, failing to institute and prosecute such proceedings herein required, shall, for every such offence, forfeit and pay the sum of five hundred dollars to the person aggrieved thereby, to be recovered by an action on the case, with full costs, and shall, on conviction thereof, be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and be fined not less than one thousand dollars nor more than five thousand dollars.
Sec. 4. That no citizen, possessing all other qualifications which are or may be prescribed by law, shall be disqualified for service as juror in any court, National or State, by reason of race, color, or previous condition of servitude; and any officer or other person charged with any duty in the selection or summoning of jurors, who shall fail to summon any citizen for the reason above named, shall, on conviction thereof, be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and be fined not less than one thousand dollars nor more than five thousand dollars.
Sec. 5. That every discrimination against any citizen on account of color, by the use of the word “white,” or any other term in law, statute, ordinance, or regulation, National or State, is hereby repealed and annulled.
On the reïntroduction of this bill, the original clause relating to “churches” was omitted, in order to keep it in substantial harmony with the votes of the Senate.

Milano, 1830.—The death of the author the following year prevented the completion of his work; but in 1837 a supplementary volume on the Practice of the Art, by Carl Barth, appeared in connection with a translation by him of Longhi’s volume, under the title, Die Kupferstecherei oder die Kunst in Kupfer zu stechen und zu ätzen. (No translation has been made into French or English.) This rare volume is in the Congressional Library, among the books which belonged originally to Hon. George P. Marsh, our excellent and most scholarly Minister in Italy. I asked for it in vain at the Paris Cabinet of Engravings, and also at the Imperial Library.

[158] Something in this success is doubtless due to Le Brun, whom Nanteuil translated,—especially as an earlier portrait of Pomponne by him is little regarded. But it is the engraver, and not the painter, that is praised,—thus showing the part which his art may perform.
There is much in this portrait, especially in the eyes, to suggest the late Sir Frederick Bruce, British Minister at Washington, who, when a youth in the diplomatic suite of Lord Ashburton, was called by Mr. Choate “the Corinthian part of the British Legation.”
