Washingtox, I)
—The action ot tlie House in passing the
international copyright 1, bill today is
agreeably regarded. Such a measure com
mends itself to the majority of honest peo
ple everywhere. The provisions of the,
bill are very broad and liberal. With such
a law on the statute books, a better class
of books reprinted from abroad will be
put on tlie market, and one branch of
Jack .Shepard literature will be suppressed.
The course of the Senate in taking up
the Force bill by a strict party vote
indicates that the Uepublieans are
united, at least on the question of imme
diately considering that measure. It looks,
too. as if they mean to pass the hill if they
can. Mr. Hoar is in charge of it for his
side, while the opposition is being led by-
Mr. Corman. One Democratic hope is
based upon the plan of holding out the sil
ver coinage measure as a glittering bait to
the far West Senators, who take a livelier
interest in silver than they do in election
measures. A smart member of the I louse
said today that the Senate would pass the
Force bill by substitute, and
tiiat tlie House would then pro
ceed to emasculate tlie substitute.
He did not live a reason for the faith that
was in him, but he is a man whose judg
ment is good on all political matters.
Senator
crats toda

Turpie is a great man and only lacks a
voice to express himself. With that tie
would be tlie foremost man in Congress.

Detroit, Midi., December 3.—Tlie fine

morning. It. was valued at $100,000. The

unknown. Two firemen were killed and
two others were injured. Tlie snow ren

Till-'. IDLE COAT. M1XKKS.
Nashville, Tenn., December 3.—A
Birmingham special says: 'The striking
coal miners were yesterday joined by
nearly all the men who were at work Mon
day. and all the miners are idle except
where convicts arc at work and negro
miners have been secured. At the Bloc-
ton mines, where 2,00(1 men were em
ployed, the conservative element tried to
net all the men to return to work yester
day. but failed, and those who worked
Monday went out. $.000 miners are now
idle, and the indications are that the strug

was barred by a more patent law—the law
of race and blood. The colored man in
those States bad no more chance of prefer
ment than a Roman Catholic had had in
New Hampshire or (treat Britain 100years
ago. The suppression of the colored vote
in tin* South was the thing manifestly in
question, affirmed on one side and denied
on the other, but the suppression of the
colored voter of the North was a thing
without a question, actual, absolute, uncon
ditional. The supremacy of the white
race was not peculiar to any portion of the
United States. South Carolina was not
more completely under its sway than was
Pennsylvania. Its supremacy was not one
whit more firmly established in Texas and
Arkansas than in Illinois and Ohio. Much
might be said of the injustice of this su
premacy. It was easy to write and print
aphorisms, even to give them
tlie shape of legislative formulas,
that all citizens are equal. Political rights
as between races might be granted, de
fined and decreed, but political equities
could only be adjusted by action. That
action was everywhere wanting. It was
everywhere withheld. The supremacy of
the white race, had not been brought about
by force or fear. It had not been wrested
or seized from others, but. it had been
given, granted, voluntarily ceded to those
deemed for the time most worthy of its pos
session. Especially tiie man of the White
House, who sought to embroil the white
and black races for purposes he could not
conceal and dare not avow, was guilty of
ail outrage ten-fold greater than any of
these lie invented or described. The solu
tion of tlie race problem was a process, not
as abstract speculation, but of real experi
ence. Wherein, people of different races
were living peacefully together, under the
urpte led off for tlie Demo- same laws, members of the same body po-

New Youk, December 3.—Futures

7 to S points advance from yesterday's
closing prices. There was quite a buoyant
market during the morning hours. Tin*
Liverpool market was 2 points better at
the close, and tlie receipts at American
ports were estimated at a compara
tively low figure. These influences
j caused the hoars much uneasiness,
j and a rush to cover contracts was
the consequence, and a smart advance fol
lowed. Soon after the second call tin re

j the demand scarcely equalled the offerings.
Still tiie close was well up to the best

Washington, December 3.—In present

tariff bill in relation to the rebate on man
ufactured tobacco, Allison said that tin*

>* — The^ mills of the j ; ts SU pp 0 rt 0:1 what was called the sup
pressed colored Republican vote in tlie
South. The returns of the election showed
an abstinence from voting.
A11 abstinence much greater in Massa- ■
ehusetts and other northern States than .
elsewhere. The extremes, w : tli meagre
majority, in both houses said that this was |
proof enough of the suppression of the
colored vote, and thereupon proceeds to !
revolutionize the whole method of con- I
gressional elections. There has been sup-
sotne must command and others must
obey, this problem was being solved. The
purposes of the national election bill, so-
called, was, so far as related to the
South, to wreck and destroy this pending
condition of inter social adjustment. It
proposed not to maintain the will of the
majority but to overthrow it on the single
issue of race, to make much of black men
because they are black, and to establish
gents ot complexion, not of opinion. The
kernel and purpose of the pending bill was
that the law of the land must be subordi
nated to set enmity between tlie white
man and the black man. The bill
was not artfully framed. Its only
art, was its absolute malignity.
I’ass this bill, and the right of the people
to choose their representatives, that right
so precious and priceless to every lover of
liberty, was lost—lost beyond recovery and
recall. lie then proceeded to make a con
stitutional argument against the power of
Congress to pass a law regulating the elec
tion of Representatives in the lower House
of Congress; that having this power itself
it could not delegate it to a Federal elec
tion board. These boards would be a
screen behind which tlie lowest forms
of fraud and wrong would be
practiced with impunity. Its effect on
the colored constituency of the South
would be most unfortunate. The negroes,
stripped of all motive for further sell ex
ertion, would become perpetual pensioners
on the national treasury Facile and venal
representatives would be ready for any as
sault on the public coffers, taxes would he
levied on the labor of tlie white men and
women of tlie North for the support of
negro constituencies, who, abandoning
every thought of selt-improve-
| ment, would idly wait for
their annual date. The South
had had for a period of years a
rest, it had made great industrial pro-
I gress ami invited Northern capital. This
| had been the result of the re-establishment
of the normal ascendancy of the white
race. Should this bill become a law, the
investor would find in many places in the
South no dividends or income, but chilled
furnaces, idle mills and smoking ruins.
The future would intone a malediction
exceedingly rare and vehement against
certain men of our day, who
would betray their own race, recreant
to their kindred and lineage, beings of
perdition, doomed to a reproach who h
would darken in infamy as the past re
ceded until time, grown weary of such fell
remembrances, should cast their miscreant
names a prey to the dumb forgetfulness
of oblivion.
At the conclusion of his speech, Turpie
received the congratulations of his Demo
cratic colleagues, and tlie Senate, at 2:30
o'clock, adjourned.
kenridge of Kentucky, said that it
was clearly inconsistent with any idea of
tiie copyright to make it anything but ex
clusive. The idea of tlie copyright was,
that he who owned a copyright had the
exclusive right of the sale of his book. He
who owned property had a right to seil it
according to his judgment. The copy
right was nothing but a legal title under
the statutes to the property of the man
who wrote the book. Being his. he had
right to dispose of it. It was dishonest to
deprive him of that right.
Oates inquired as to the clause requir
ing tlie book to be printed from type set
in the United States.
Breckinridge replied that all legislation
was practical and a matter of concession.
The question was not whether t.lie remedy
could be made absolute, but how nearly
absolute it could be made. There wen-
divers interests involved—tlie interest of
the author who furnished the brains, tin-
interest of the publisher who furnished
ti: - capital, and the interest of the work
ing man who furnished the labor All
these interests must he combined in this
biil and all were combined in it. He did
not believe that cheaper books could
be obtained now that could be obtained
under this bill, but even if they could,
this was a matter of justice and honesty,
it was an old argument he bad heard of in
Ki ntucky, when one old coiored man
asked another, “Sam, how’s it you sell
year brooms cheaper than me, when 1
steals de straw'.”’ “Oh. that ain’t noth
in; .” was the reply, “I steals my brooms
re; dy made." (Laughter.) lie believed
that a man’s dollar belonged to the man
vv' o made it, and society’s highest duty
‘a 10 protect that man in the possession
o his dollar, whether that man was a for
eigner or not.
Kerr, of Iowa, opposed the bill, charac
terizing the ideas as something intangible
and referring to the pending measure as a
great tariff law. It was a law for the pro
tection id'printers. It was not a protect
ive tariff, but a prohibitive tariff.
The debate lasted two horns.
Tlie other speakers in favor of the bill
were Farquhar and Cummings, of New
York, Me Ad 00, but IVti-rs of Kansas,
moved to recommit the bill with instruc
tions to tin- committee on patents to ri -
port, it back with an amendment, limiting
the life of a copyright to fourteen years.
Breckenridge, of Ark.uisaw. moved to
amend tile instructions tiy instructing the
committee to provide for the importation of
books of foreign authors at tlie rate now-
provided by law. Lost- yeas !*5 n.tys 140,
Peters’ motion was iost—yeas its, nays 13s.
Tiie question then recurred to the pas
sage ot the bill, and the vote resulted,

Without reaching action on any other
measure, the House adjourned.

Washington, December 3.—Up to the

while unanimous in their opposition to the
national election- bill, have not found it
necessary to unite upon a dist inct party

Farmers’ Allianee, ;ts
night, was not the
press committee at all. The members of
the fraternal relations committee were no
tified that they were the press committee,
and as such they have served until noon
today, when the error in the noti
fication was discovered. The press com
mittee is now made up as follows:
Stokes of Alabama, chairman; McDowell
of Tennessee, Cary of Indiana, Langley of
Arkansas, and Crum of Illinois. Colonel
Livingston, of Georgia, w ho has up to this
time acted as the mouthpiece of tlie press
committee, iias extended every courtesy to
the press and newspaper representatives
here, about thirty in number. They said
good-bye to him this afternoon with re
gret.
At the morning session of the
nvention tlie committee on credentials
made a final report, but this does not
affect the personel of the body except in
one or two instances where tlie representa
tion from States was cut down, owing to i
iecreaso in membership on account of non

YVashington. December 3.—After tlie
reading of the journal the Speaker stated
the pending business to be the further con
sideration of the copyright bill.
Simonds. who was in charge of the bill,
stated that the friends of the measure were
willing to have the vote taken immediate
ly, but expressed a readiness to yield any
time that its opponents might desire.
Springer argued that the bill changed
the tariff law, in so far as the importation

cent census would show that in the States
of Pennsylvania. Ohio and Illinois there
were about 250,000 colored people: yet in
those States no colored man has
ever served as governor, or been
elected to any department of
the State government. There had been
not only no proportional division of offices,
there had been none at ail. The colored
race in these States had been deprived of
participation in official preferment. The
colored citizen in these States was not
barred by any constitutional statute; he

after the election,

articles from abroad, notwithstanding th-
statement of the Presidt nt that importa

expressed opposition to tiie character of
the legislation involved in the bill. It was
in the nature of quasi-special legislation,
and, as a matter of fact, was the veiy 1

The pending elections biil wa>, of Course,
the principal theme for eoiisiib ration.
The chaiic**s of tiie passage ot the bill, if
it should re..eh a final vole, were can-
\assed, and individual Senators expicss
divers opinions as to tile ability of tie-
Republican party leaders to keep tin-ir
forces in line. The conclusion ivacneh
was to maintain an unalterable o iposition
to the passage of the eU-ci ions bill. The
policy inaugurated today by Serator Tur
pie will be followed, and : li<* minority will
seize every opportunity to discuss the oil)
exhaustively and fa:r!y, and strive to
amend every objectionable feature as
reached in the detailid consideration of
the measure, as was the case with tin*
tariff bill. I he opinion was expressed that,
as the majority hail not yet signified anv
intentitn to unduly restrict reasonable
debate, it would be premature for tiie
caucus to undertake tin- arrangement of a
programme to meet the presentation of
clature resolutions. It was made apparent
however that the Democratic Senators in
tended to resist the passage the of bill to

There was some comparison of notes in
the caucus to ascertain what Senator was
prepared to speak. It appeared that few-
bad set speeches on the bill prepared, but
a number of Senators promised to be ready
to meet any emergency in the shape of a
dearth of debators. As to the further
A LIVELY SENSATION.
The sensation of the morning session
was when President Livingston, of the
Georgia Alliance, arose to a question ot
privilege and said that in coii-eqtietiee ot
certain rumors and reports grow ing out ot
“special letters published in certain news
papers’’ before tiie assembling of this con
vention, insinuations had been made tiiat
corrupt aim improper methods had been
employed in tin* r. eent .Senatorial contest
in Georgia. These insinuations had
been aimed at Marline and
himself, and President Polk’s
name had been connected with them also,
lie made a speech an hour long, in which
he denounced those rumors and insinua
tions as infamously false, and lie demand
ed the appointment of a fair and imparlia,
committee to thoroughly investigate them.
J in* assertions, lie said,, had been made ii
these specials i hat the National Eronomist.
and some oilier S:a;e Alliance organs had
been, or are being Cl inducted by Wail street
capital, wiiieb assertions Livingston also
denied mcmt emphatically. The special-
are those mentioned in Tiies-
tehes as having appeared in ;.

President Polk then took the floor, am:

he therefore urged tin* appointment, nt a
committee for this purpose.
He was followed by Hr. U. W. Macune.
of the National Economist, who joined
Livingston and Polk in their demand fo;
sifting this slander to the bottom in tin
interest of the tuture harmony of the A!
hanee. He characterized the rumors and
