J Though it may be irregular for a physi cian to give a certificate in lav or of a pro prietary medicine, still, in the cause of Humanity, I venture to say a word in fa vor of Allcoch’s Porous Plasters, which I esteem the most remarkable ex ternal remedy of this century. 1 have known these Plasters to cure Spinal Weakness where the patient had lieen confined for months to his bed. A blacksmith of my acquaintance was se verely injured in the back by the kick of n burse: four Allcock's Porous Plasters quickly relieved him of excruciating ago ny and cured him in a week. Another patient, suffering with Neuralgia of the tkan, was completely cutvd in four pours. in Asthma, f kn*>w of a ftasg where they wC:* worn lor three months and iqljr re stored to o?altb. In another case where a imtlußt had SporaJ'd Cholera, nothing relieved btm until he put on three All cock's Porous Plasters; m twelve hours all |ains in his chest and stowieh disappear ed. I know that these Plasters, applied on the pit of the stomach, are a sovereign remedy for Ityspepsia and Constipation. Finally, if persons once use Allcock's Porous Plasters they will never use any other; are so pleasant, quick and painless—nature’s balmy assistant. H. C. Van Norman, M.

Brown, of Georgia, Delivered in the Senate of the United States, June 16, 1884, in Keply to Senator Hoar, of Massachu setts. In the following forcible speech Senator Joseph E. Brown replied on June 16 to the attacks of Senator Hoar and others on the South: The Senate, as in committee of the whole, having under consideration the bill (S. 1283/ to amenu an act entitled “An act to amend sec tion 7352 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, in reference to bigamy, and for other purposes,” approved March 22. 1882. Mr. Brown said: Mr. Pkksidest—S]/eaking of my speech of *7th ultimo, the Senator from Massachusetts Mr. Hoar) said, in his reply: “Certainly the logical result of ihe speech, if it has premises from which a logical result is to be derived, is that polygamy is belter than the lawful mar riage of one husband to one wife, and that Mormonisni is better than Christianity as Hie practical governing rule of a State.” Now, Mr. President, this is an extraordiuarv state ment, coming from a person of the usual accu racy of the senator from Massachusetts, and I can account for it in only one wav, and that is that he did not hear the first portion of my speech, to which he was replying. I laid down the position that the constitu tion of the United States protects every citi zen in the free exercise of religion, ana Hint neither Congress nor any other power in the United states has the constitutional right to oass anv law abridging the freedom of relig ion or interfering with the most perfect free dom of opinion oii religious subjects. At the same lime I laid down the position most dis tinctly that no one can practice immorality under the cloak of religion amt claim the pro tection of the constitution. I stated that ilie Supreme Court of the United States had de cided, and properly, that a person indicted for polygamy can not pro.cn himself by pleading his religions opinion that polygamy is legal. I stated distinctly that I consoler the practice of polygamy grosdy immoral. I stated that Congress had already passed laws which were now on the statute book making polygamy a la-nitcniiary crime, and that it was the duty of the court when a person in the Territory of Utah is convicted of polygamy to sentence the party to penitentialy imprisonment just as the sentence of the law is imposed on any other felon who is convicted of the commis sion of crime. I stated that I had repeatedly denounced on this floor, aud that all the prosperity and good conduct of the Mormons could not justify polygamy I further stated that as the law now stands we appoint the Governor, the Judges, the prosecuting attorney, the Marshal, anil the Clerks for Utah; and|they arc appointed be cause thev are opposed to polygamy; and that when a Mormon is put upon trial for polyga my, as the law now stands, no other Mormon can serve as a juror in the case unless he will first swear that he has never practiced polyg amy and that he does not believe it is right. So that it is next to impossible, if there is any evidence against him for a person who has been guilty of polygamy to escape before a jury who have sworn that tliey do not believe poligamy to be right, and be Aire a Judge, prosecuting attorney. Marshal, and Clerk who are sent there to" convict, who arc appointed because of their opposition to polygamy. I further stated that polygamy could not in crease under this state of tuiugs, but must de crease; that it was not considered compulsory under the laws of the Mormon Church, but only permissive; that the law as it now stands disiranchisea a man who practices it, and neither p- rmiti him to vo.e nor hold office, and 1 took it for g -anted that no young Mor mon who is ambitious, and who looks to the future, will enter into polygamy when the punishment would be peniteutiary imprison ment and disqualification to vote or hold ollice. or, indeed, to hold any public trust. liul wbne I took this decided ground in fa vor of punishing and suppressing polygamy, I also took the position that we have no right to pun'sh any one under a charge of jiolygamy until he is convicted by due course of law; that to impose upon him a test oath to prove his guilt is in violation not only of fundamen tal principle, but of the constitution of the United Stales. Now. Mr. President, I still standby the doc trine of mv speech. I say punish with peni tentiary imprisonment every polygamist who is legally convicted of the crime, but punish noliodv for any crime until he has been legally convicted. Use no illegal or unconstitutional test-oaths as a means of ascertaining the guilt of anybody, but use all legal and constitutional ‘ means to suppress the evil and i wash the guilty. While we (have a right to do this, we have no right to undertake to suppress the Mormon Chinch or to put them down as a sect or denomina tion. The fact that they believe in polygamy furnishes no justification for iiersecutiou or fur their punishment. The fact that they practice it not only furnishes a justification for severe penal statutes, but makes it our duty toeuact them; and, while I am ready to support any law that imposes severe penalties upon pol\gamy, I am not willing, in connec tion w ith it, to support the confiscation of church property, the imposition .of illegal test-oaths, or the punishment of any person for any crime of which he has not been legally convicted. But while I take this position in reference to bigamy or polygamy in Utah. I at the same time hold that" the practice of bigamy or polygamy by the Mormons in Utah is no worse than the same practice is in New England or in llic District of Columbia, and the penalty ought to lie the same in liotli cases. I have laid down the doctrine, and I do not expect to hear It successfully controverted, that a divorce granted for any other cause except that of adultery or fornication is illegal according to the Divine law, and is in violation of the express command of Christ himself. Tlii- authority does not bindper sor.s w ho deny that Christ is the son of God, and that the Christian religion is true and is what it professes to be. 1 admit that such person would not hold himself bound by this authority, hut every Christian and every be liever in the truth of the Christian religion must feel bound by it. Then, according to this authority every man w ho puts aw ay his wile by divorce and mar ries another, except for the cause of fornica tion, commits adultery, as he is not legally divorced or separated from the first wife, and as he has married the second and is living with her in adultery he is a bigamist or a po lygamist. He has two living wives. He is neglecting his dntv to the first and only legal wife and is living in adultery with another woman. , . , Now. Mr. President, while we are legislat ing against the social evil in one of the Terri tories and are professing to have great regard for the sanctity of the family, let us so legis late as to prohibit this illegal destruction of the family m the District of Columbia and the Territories. If we have jurisdiction over the question of polygamy in the Territory of Utah we have certa'inly like jurisdiction over il legal divorce and illegal remarriages in the District of Columbia and the Territories of the United States. My amendment provides that this system of illeiral divorce which is now authorized bv Congiess in the District of Columbia shall lie abolished ami the courts in granting an absolute divorce shall be confined io the one cause which is legal according to the divine law. The Senator from Massachusetts says he docs not suppose I expect to pass such an amendment. \Vliy not, Mr. Presiueut? 1 have a right to expect the Senator from Massachu setts and every Senator on this floor who ad mits the divine"character of the Saviour and the truths of Christianity to vote for this amend ment. I exiect the Senator from Massachu setts to vote for it, because if I am not misin formed he believes in the truths of Christiani ty, and because he professes to be greatly in terested in the preservation and sanctity of She marriage relation. If he believes in Chris tianity and desires to maintain inviolate the marriage relation X can see no exetne he can have for voting against my amendment. Again. Mr. President, 1 presume the Senator from Massachusetts has great respect for the constitution and laws of his own State, and if he carries out here the requirements of the constitution of Massachusetts he certainly can not vote agaiast mv amendment. In part !. article 3. of the constitution of M'ssachuselts it is distinctly stated that the happiness of a people and the good order and preservation of a civil government essentially depend upon “religion, piety, and morality. l ' If the good order of a civil government de pends upon morality, it may be proper to in 3uire what is morality. One of Webster's efinitions is: ‘‘The conformity of an act to the divine law or to the principles of morals.” And one of the definitionsof the word “moral” is: “Conformed to the rules of right or to the divine law respecting social duties.” If, then, we apply the principles of morality to mv amendment they would require that the law of Congress as we may enact it be made to conform to the divine law respecting social duties. If so we must forbid divorce lor any cause except fornication, because the divine law on the subject of social duties distinctly declares that divorce shall be granted for no other cause. lu part 1, article IS of the con stitution of MassachuelU, I find the following language: “A frequent recurrence to the fundamen tal principles of the constitution, and a con stant adherence to those of piety, justice, moderation, temperance, industry and fru galiiv, arc necessary to preserve the advan tages of liberty ard to maintain a free gov ernment. The people ought constantly to have a particular a-tention to all those pria c pies in the choice o their officers ami repre sentatives, and they have a right to require of their lawgivers and magistrates an exact and constant observance of them in the for mation and execution of the laws necessary for the good administration of the common wealth." Here the praoticeof oiety, among other vir tues, is absolutely enjoined upon the lawgiv ers and magistrates of Massachusetts by a fundamental constitutional provision. And in the formation and execution of the laws necessary for the good administra tion of the commonwealth they are to be governed by the principles of piety, justice, moderation, temperance, industry and frugality. There is to be a constant adher ence to these principles required of the law givers and magistrates. Now Mr. President, what do we understand by "piety?” One of the definitions of the word giVen by Webster is: "Veneration or reverence of the Supreme Being and love of His character; obedient love of the will of God and zealous devotion to llis service; re ligion; sanctity." Then, according to the constitution of Mas sachusetts, the lawgivers of that State in forming laws must do so in a spirit of venera tion of the Supreme Being, in a spirit of love Of His character, obedient love of His will, and xealous devotion to His service. Now, Mr. President, the Supreme Being has said that divorce shall lie granted for no cause except fornication. By my amendment I have asked the Senator Mrom Massachusetts and other Senator* to act in obedience to that law of the Supreme Being and forbid divorce for any other cause where ever the United States have Inritdietion, as w.-ii in all the Territories as in the District of Columbia ■*°d I insist that the Senator from Massachusetts cannot xotT * eains * j loeiit without a palpable violation o* r ' ■pint of U*o constitution of his own State, which requires this lawgivers for that jieople to practice morality and exereiso piety, which means obedient love of the will of the supreme Being. And obedience to His will in the en actment of laws must restrain divorces within Uie iutc laid down by Him. Upon-what prin ciple, then, can the Senator from Massachu setts vote against mv amendment? And why shotlld the Senator seek to punish a jK*rson iii Utah for practicing polygamy and r. Live to pass a law preventing the destruc tion of the family and the practice of polvga tuy in the District of Lolumhta and the Ter ritories. And if the polygamy of Utah and the illegal divorce and remarriage of parties in the District of Columbia stand condemned upon the same moral ground, why should the Senator from Massachusetts seek by legisla tion to punish the one and refuse to legislate to suppress the other? I will unite with him, if he wi'l leave other unconstitutional or op pressive provisions out of his bill, to pass laws still more severe, if need be. for the punish ment of polygamy in Utah, if he will unite with Senators for the prstage of laws applicable to the District of Colombia and the Territories which shall forbid a party to marrv aeaiu who has according to the moral law been illegally divorced, and who when he remarries is de clared by the Divine Being to lie an adulterer. Since our last discussion of this question I was glad to see that the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in session at Philadelphia, has condemned illegal mar riages, and has passed a resolution saying that divorce should be confined to the cause laid down Uv the Saviour himself, and that alone, and lias forbidden its ministers to perform the marriage ceremony between parties who under that rule have no right to marry again. This is a noble example set by that "church; and I trust the Congress of the United States, within the limits of its jurisdiction in the District of Columbia and all the Territores, will bv law set a like example to the States and to all the jieople of this Union. In the discussion of this question the other dav I confined myself to a living issue, to an evil which is now prevalent, which may prop erly be said to be our great nstioual sin. Most of my references were to New England, not with any view of making an assault upon that section of the Union any more than upon any other section guilty of the sa ue practices, bat because the evil seems to lie most prevalent there, and the statistics showing its prevalence were at hand, given us by New England authors, to show the true state of things. X did not go back to the his tory of New England and refer to any other evil or any other bad points in her history which might seem to lie disconnected with the subject under discussion. J tried to confine myself to a discussion of the evils which de stroy the |>eace and sanctity of the family, which is the unit of the State. I am very sorry the Senator from Massachu setts (Mr. Hoar) is not in his seat, for I desire that he shall hear the remarks that I am going to make. However, it is amatter within his own discretion as to whether ho will do so or not. But, Mr. President, my friend from Massa chusetts in his reply, while he justly acquit ted me of any purpo-e to do injustice to New Eng land, did not think proper to confine himself to the living issues of to-day. but he felt it his duty to go back and disinter for exhibition the corpse of slavery, which is now one of the dead issues of the past. He charges that I had for a large portion of ray life supported an institution (meaning slavery) lying at the foundation of govern ment which prohibited marriage to a majority of the people of my State. In t.iatconncction. however, he was a little at fault ia his figures, as slaves were, I believe, never at any time a majority of the people of Georgia, yet they formed a large minority of our people. But as I am charged with having sup pirtcd the institution of slavery most of my life which prohibited marriage among the slaves, it may not be inappropriate, however unpleasant the task may be, for me to make some reference to the origin of slavery in this country, and to show who was responsible for its introduction. As slavery is now dead in this country, it is certainly as proper for me to go back and refer to its origin and its early practices as it was for the Senator froiii Massachusetts to introduce it into this dis cussion, and refer to its practices twenty years ago. It is also proper to inquire when and how and by whom it was introduced into the different States of the Union; and as fair an illustration as auv will be found in the his tory of the two States, Massachusetts and Georgia. In my other speech I took occasion to contrast the polygamy of Utah and New England; now it will become to some-extent my duty to contrast the slavery of Massa chusett' and Georgia. In doing this I shall quote .rom the history of Massachusetts ou the slavery question. I shall make some ex tracts from the book written by George H. Moore, a member of the Historical Society of the State of Massachusetts, which is entitled “Notes ou the History of Slavery in Massachusetts,” and from Elliott’s History of New England. I shall first quote from Moore in substance as follows: SLAVERY IN MASSACHUSETTS. “The Puritans in their earliest code made ample provision for slavery, and added the conviction that slavery was established by the law of God, and that Christianity always recognized it as the antecedent Mosaic prac tice. (Moore’s Notes on the History of Slavery in Massachusetts, pages 105 and 123-4.) “Massachusetts held in slavery Scots and Irish.” (Elliott’s History of New England, volume 2, page 179.) “Negroes and Indians were bought and sold without compunction by priest and people alike.” (Ibid., page 180.) “Through all the wars captive Indians were sold as slaves, and Inuians were held as slaves without compunction.” (Ibid., pages 175 and 176.) “The people of Massachusetts made rum and carried cargoes of it to Africa, and bought cargoes of slaves Ifor the markets of the iVest Indies and Southern Colonies, and brought portions of them to New England.” (Ibid., page 179.) “Aged and infirm slaves were set free to re lieve the master from the charge of support ing them.” (Moore on Slavery in Massachu setts. page 58.) “The people of Massachusetts raised slaves for the markets.” (Ibid., page 69.) “They were taxed like horses, oxen, cows, goats, s'heep, and swine, until after the com mencement of the war of the revolution.” (Ibid., page 65.) “Negr.-es were looked upon as a good dog is now. They were commonly treated with kindness, but were liable to abuse as dogs arc.” (2 Elliott, page 182.) Negroes were advertised for sale as wc now advertise a horse or a cow, and the news papers of the day contain such advertisements as these, which 1 should like the Senator from Massachusetts, if he had remained in the hall, to have heard: “A likely negro wench and child to be sold. Inquire of printer." “To be sold by the subscriber, of Branford, a likely negro wench, 18 years of age; is ac quainted with all sorts of "housework; is sold for no fault. June 15, 1773.” Under the date of October 4,1708, the Boston tmLetttr has the following advertisements: “A negro woman, aged about 31 years, to lie sold. Inquire at the pos: office in Cornhill, Boston, and know further.” October 11. same year: “An Indian woman, aged about 30 years, to be sold. Inquire at the post office in Cornhill, Boston, and know further. Nov. 23. (2 El liott, pages 181 and 182.) Moore, in his Notes on Slavery in Massachu setts, page 70, says: “Negro men, women, and children were mixed up in the sales w'itli wearing apparel, gold watches, and other goods;” and he then gives specimens of ad vertisements, as follows: “Very good Barba does rum is offered with a young negro that lias had the small-pox;” “Competitors offer likely men and women, just arrived;” “Ne gro merf, new. and negro boys who have been in the country some time;” “And also just arrived, a choice parcel of ne gro boys aud girls;” “A likely negro man, born in the country and bred a farmer, lit for any service;” "A negro woman about 22 years old, with boy about 5 months,” etc.; “A likely negro woman, about 19 years, and a child of about 6 months of age, to be sold to gether or apiirt;” and “a lively negro man taken by execution, and to be sold by public auction at the Koval Exchange tavern in King street at 6 o’clock this afternoon.” Again, 2 Elliott, page 178, the following advertisement: “Just imported from Dublin, in the brig Derby, a parcel of Irish servants, both men and women, and to be sold cheap, bv Israel Boardntan, of Stamford, January 5, 1764.” These may serve as specimens of advertise ments of slaves in Massachusetts for sate, and it will be seen that the slaveholders of that good old Commonwealth were in condition to accommodate and were very accommodating to purchasers. They could sell you an Irish slave or a Scotch slave, an Indian slave or a negro slave: they could sell you a man ora woman, or they could sell you a mother with a child 6 months old. to be sold together or apart, as it best suited the purchaser; and they could sell td one person the father of the child and to another person the mother, and to a third the child itself, which was held to be legitimate if the master consented to the intercourse when the parties were never mar ried. Aud they sold negroes “taken by execu tion” for the "payment of the debts of the owner. This showed a very liberal commerce in slave property in Massachusetts. Anything the purchaser wanted in that line he could get for the money. Hubbard, the contemporary historian of the Indian wars, says of these captives: “Of those who’ are not so desperate or sullen to sell their lives for nothing, but yielded in time, the male children were sent to the Ber mudas. Of the females, some were distributed to the English towns; some were disposed of amoug other Indians, to whom they were deadly enemies, as well as to ourselves.” (Moore,page 5.) “The colonists of Massachusetts assumed to themselves ‘a right to treat the Indians on the footing of Canaanites or Amalekites,’ aud practically regarded them from the first as forlorn and wretched heathen, possessing few rights which were entitled to respect.” (3 Bancroft, page 408; Moore, page 30.) “They exported Indians to sell for negroes.” (Moore, page 32.) The colonists of Massachusetts sold Indian prisoners on public account, and the Treas urer, in giving an account of his stewardship, has this item: “Captives: for one hundred and eighty eight prisoners at war sold, X 397.13.” The author says: “There is a peculiar significance in the phrae which occurs in the records—‘sent away by the Treasurer.” It means sold into slavery." (Massachusetts Records, volume 3, page 58: Moore, page 35.) Anything to turn an honest penny. When King l’hilip, the great Indian leader, fell, his wife and son, the Queen and Prince of his great tribe, were taken prisoners. Of their treatment that great man, Edward Everett, says: “What was the fate of Phillip’s wife and ehild? She is a woman; he is a lad. They did not surely hang ihem? No; that would have been merciful. The boy is the grandson, the mother is the daughter-in-lanr of good old Massasoit, the first and best friend the English ever hail in New England. Perhaps—perhaps now Philip is slain and his warriors scattered to the four winds, they will allow his wife and son to go back—the widow and the orphan—to finish their days and sorrows in their native wilderness. They are sold into slavery—West India slavery—an Indian Princess and her child, sold from the coot breezes of Mount Hope, from the wild freedom of the New Eng land forests, to gasp under the lash beneath the blazing sun of the tropic*; bitter as death, aye, bitter as hell! Is there anything-I do uot sat in the range of humanity—is there anything animated that would not struggle againt this? (Moore, pages 48 and 44.) "The practice_was to consider Such issue (the children of the slave mother) as slaves and the property of the master of the parents, liable to be soid -and transferred like other chattels, and as assets in the hands of execu tors and administrators.’! (Moore, page SI.) "The Indians of Cape Sable, Who had never been in the least manner guilty of any injury done to New England, were kidnapped and sent off to be sold.” ( Ibid page 47.) ‘•The breeding of slaves was finally not found to be profitable and not regarded with favor T * 1 ' Belknap says that negro children were considered an incumbrance in a family; when weaned they were given ivav like puppies. They were frequently publicly ad vertised to be given away, sometimes with the additional inducement, of sum of money to any one who would take them off. (/btd., P^ e t was in the power of the masters in Mas sachusetts to deny baptism to their slaves, and they practioed such denial, as appears from the extract from the Secretary to the Society for the Propagation o f the Gospel, etc.’-’ (Ibid., page 58.) “In 1758 It was adjudged by the Superior Court of Massachusetts that the child of a fe male slave never married according to any of the forms prescribed by the laws M the land, by another slave who had kept her company with her master’s consent, was not a bastard.’’ Ibtd., page 58.) If this decision was right, there were no bastards among the slave children of Georgia. •Hr. Palfrey gives it as his opinion that from the revere nee entertained by the fathers of New England for the nuptial tie it is safe to infer that slave husbands and wives were never parted. • j; T . h ‘- of New England also cher ished a due regard—" Says Moore— ‘‘for parental and filial duties and respoosl bilities; yet it is certain that slave mothers and children were separated. Resting upon Hhe law Of God established in Israel,' the Puritan could have had no scruple about this matter. Such a condition of master and slave most have been regarded as an axiom, as it was by the Hebrew. Mr. Palfrev’s inference is not warranted by facts.” Rear in mind, Moore, the historian, says: “It is certain that slave mothers and chil dren were separated, and that Mr. Palfrey’s inference is not warranted by the facts when he inferred that the New England fathers did not separate slave husbands and wives in Massachusetts." Scots, Irish. Indians and negroes, when taken as prisoners of war or kidnapped or purchased with rum or other commodity, were considered and treated as slaves. John Adams says: “I lived for many years in times when the practice of slavery was not disgraceful, when the best men in mv vicinity thought it not in consistent with their character. ’ (Adams’ Works, 10,380.) “If there was a prevailing pnblic sentiment against slavery in Massachusetts, as has been constantly claimed of late, the peop'e of that State, far less demonstrative than their de scendants, had an extraordinary way of not showing it.” (Moore, page 110.) Cotton Mather, who was a prominent man and minister of the gospel In New England in his day. illustrates the temper of the times in reference to enslaving Indians, in the follow ing paragraph: ••We know not when or how these Indians first became inhabitants of this mighty con tinent, yet we may guess that probably the devil decoyed these mis erable savages hither in hopes that the gos|/el of the Lord Jesus Christ would never come here to destroy or disturb his absolute empire over them.” (Moore, page 31.) In 2 Elliott, page 181, we find it recited that— “Whf.bkas, James, the servant and bond man unto Richard, hath had a desire to mar ry, and, having manifested the same unto his said master, who promises to buy a Yokefel low for him, but upon some consideration hath thought it better for him to make said James, his servant, to serve him five years, without marriage, than to pay X3O for his libertv”— In other words, than to pay X3O for a wife for him— “ Slaves who committed offenses were tried and puuishcd in the most rigorous man ner. Phyllis, a negro woman, and Mark, a negro man. were suspected of poisoniug their master, Capt. Codman, of Charlestown, Mass. Tliey were put on trial and convicted, and the court sentenced 51 ark to be hanged, and Phyllis to be burned to death. On the day of execution they were both drawn to the place of execution attended by the greatest number of spectators ever known on such occasion, whore the former was hanged by the neck until he was dead, after which his body was gibbeted, and the latter burned to death.” (2 Elliott, 187.) "Slaves were forbidden to be out an hour after sunset upon paiu of whipping and im prisonment. They were forbidden to meet together in the streets more than two at a time. And slaves who assaulted a Whiteman were to be whipped and sent beyond sea, whatever the provocation.” (Ibid., "page 189.) In 1774 the slaves of Slassachusetts sent their humble petition to the Governor, in which they say: “We have no property; we have no wives; we hare no city, no country. (Elliott, page 192). This did not look like Massachusetts was providing for the marriage relation at that time. “In referring to the horrors of the slave trade, in which Massachusetts took so promi nent a part, Jonathan Edwards, the great New England divine, states that of the 100,000 slaves annually exported from Africa 25,000 perished before they arrived in America, and that another 25,009 died in the ‘seasoning.’ And that, including these ami those who per 'isbed in the wars tor the capture of slaves in Africa, a hundred thousand human beings arc annually destroyed to support the traffic. (2 Elliott, page 199), “In New England, the harbors of Bristol and Newport were alive with vessels engaged in the traffic, and large fortunes were rapidly raised from its profits.” (Ibid., page 205.) So much for slaverv in Massachusetts. Let us see for a moment now the free negroes and free Indians fared in that State. In second Elliott, page 189, I find the following; “Free negroes or Indians who entertained any slaves in their houses were subject to im prisonment and whipping (1723) and free negroes and Indians were whipped who kept arms. They were forbid on public days to sell any cakes or drinks. They were compelled to bind out their children before they were 4 years old to some English master. If they re ceived any stolen goods they were to be whip ped and banished, and if tliey returned were to l/e imprisoned lor life. IT convicted of theft, they were to|l/e shipped off beyond sea.” So that the fate of the free negroes aud In dians in Massachusetts was little better than that of the slaves. If the marriage relation was recognized among them, the offspring were cruelly takcu from the father and mother before tliey were 4 years of age and lzound to an English master. In other words, the children of free negroes and Indians were enslaved for the benefit of the English mas ters. This was slavery in Massachusetts. Neither slavery in Georgia, which I supported for a portion of my life, nor any other slavery, even of the dark ages, was ever more tyrannical, venal and oppressive than the slavery of Mas sachusetts. MULATTOES. But my honorable friend from Massachu setts did not confine himself to the allegation that I had supported for a large part of my life an institution that did not recognize the marriage relation, but be nlso called atten tion to the further fact that there was a large number of mulattoes in the South to be ac counted for. Now, Mr. President, I have never claimed perfection for the South. Human nature ex ists there as it does everywhere else, and I shall not claim that t lie people of the South are entirely free from human pas sion. But, having shown where slavery came from when it invaded m.y State, I will now try to account for at least a portion of the mulattoes. And again I state I am very sorry the Senator from slassachuetls is not in tlio Chamber to hear the remarks 1 make on that subject. In order to do this it will be necessary for me again to refer to the history of Massachusetts. I will here quote a few passages from that history: “The law of 1703, chapter 2, was In restraint of the manumission, discharge, or setting free of mulatto or negro slaves. “(Moore on Slavery in Massachusetts, page 53.) “In 1694 all negroes, mulattos—” Yes, “mulattoes” is the word— “and Indian servants, as well male as female, of 16 years old and upward, were taxed at the rate of 12 pence per poll, same as other polls. In 1695 all negroes, mulattoes, and In dian servants, males of 14 years of age and upwards, at the rate of X2O estate, and fe males at Xl4 estate unless disabled by infirm ity.” (Ibid., page 62.) “One ot the earliest legal cases where a mu latto was a party of which we have any record in slassachn*etts is noticed in the diary of John Adams. It was in the Superior Court at Salem in 1766. Vuder date of Wednesday, Nov. 5. he says: ‘Attendedcourt: heard trial of an action o' trespass brought by a mulatto woman for damages, for restraining her of her liberty. This is called suing for liberty: the first case that ever 1 knew of the sort.’ (Ibid., page 112.) “In another esse the master protested the plaintiff was his mulatto slave, and that he, the master, was not held by law to answer, but for nleading the master said, ‘Not guilty.’ (Ibid., page 119.) “As in the preceding valuationsof the prop erty of their constituents. Indians, negroes and mulatto slaves had been prominent arti cles, they must keep on still in the old track. Indians, negroes and mulattoes must still be valued as property. (Ibid., page 64.) “Again, in 172} the Assessors were required to estimate Indian, negro and mulatto slaves proportionately as other personal estate. (Ibid., page 65.) "Negroes, Indians aud mulattoes were for bidden to serve as porters in Boston, except they gave security. Their testimony was not received like a white man’s in court. They were forbidden to go to fires at night. Tbsy could not bury their friends after mid night or on the Lord’s dav. Negro, Indian, and mulatto slaves are forbidden to buy any thing in the market lest it should enhance prices. (2 Elliott, 189.) “The law of 1703, chapter 4, prohibited In dian, negro, and mulatto servants or slaves to be abroad after 9 o’clock. ’The law of 1705, chapter 6, for the better preventing of a spurious and mixt issue, etc., punishes negroes and mulattoes for improper intercourse with whites by selling them out of the province.’ (It does not tell what was to be done with the whites). It also punishes any negro or mu latto for striking a Christian' by whipping, at the discretion of the Justices before whom he may be convicted. It also prohibits marriage of Christians with negroes or mulattoes.” (Moore, pages 14 and 55.) Here you will oliserve, Mr. President, the mulattoes come in rather thick; indeed, they are scattered all along down through the his tory of Massachusetts. “in 1718 all negro. Indian and mulatto ser vants for life were estimated as other personal estate.” (Moore, page 64.) “Indian, negro and mulatto servants for a term of years were to be numbered and rated as other polls.” (Ibid., page 64.) “It was enacted by the Legislature of Mas sachusetts in 1786 that no'person authorized by this act to marrv shall join in marriage any white person with any negro, Indian, or mulatto under penalty of £bo, and all such marriages shall be absolutely null and void.” (Ibid, page 59). The inhibition applies not only to the negro and to the Indian, but to the mulatto as well. “The law of 1698 appears to have been the first, if not the only, one in which this feature was applied to the negroes, mulattoes, and Indians in bondage, aud mar be justly re garded as an indication of progress, for it was an admission that these unfortunate creatures had ‘faculties’ valuable to their owners, if not to themselves.” (Ibid,, page 63). Here again comas in the mulatto. And when, in 1788. after the end of the Revo lutionary war, Massachusetts banished the free negroes from her territory by an act of her Legislature, unless they were subjects of the Emperor of Morocco, with whom, I pre sume, they had valuable commerce, or citi zens of the United States, and if they failed to go after t n days’ notice, they were liable to be punished in the house of correction for a fixed time; and then if they still failed to go they were to be taken up ana whipped, and if they still did not go this punishment was to be inflicted once every two months. Under this law a lengthy list of names is given of those who received the notice and were com pelled to leave the State; and among this list who were thus banished from Massachusetts I find the names of a large number of mulat toes. (Moore, 238 and 234.) Now, Mr. President, f think I have -hown to the satisfaction of the Senate that Massachusetts was enacting laws in reference to mulattoes when the colony of Georgia was absolutely prohibiting slavery. Ia Elliott’s History, volume 2, page 178, we find the following; “In Georgia slavery was positively prohibit ed (1734)." Gen. Oglethorpe said: “Slavery is against the gospel, as well as the fundamental law of England. We refused as trustees to mase a law permitting such a horrid crime.” When Massachusetts was making laws to punish mulattoes for intercourse with white people, banishing the mulatto without punishing the white, so far as the historian tells us; when she wm legislating against the emancipation of mnlattoes; w hen she was fixing the rate of taxation on mnlattoes; when she was offering mulatloe* for sale in the market, Georgia had not a single mulatto within her limits, nor a slave of any other character. But as all the other colonies had introduced slavery the peo ple of Georeia were finally tempted by ihe ■lave dealer* to try the institution, and thev yielded to the allurements of the t/cople o'f Massachusetts and other slave traders and adopted it. I have already shown that Massachusetts sent cargoes of rum to Africa aud brought car goes of slaves to some of the West Indies aud the Southern colonies; and I further showed that they raised slaves for the market as long as they found it profitable. The* in purchasing slavf s from Massachusetts we purchased a due proportion of mnlattoes. It seems the | r.zpor tion there was a very large one, and we got the mulatto institution as we got the slavery institution from Massachusetts, by pur chase, when we bought slaves Horn her. She was not careful about the color of the slave, whether he was a Scotch man, an Irishman, an Indian, a negro, or a mulatto. The only question with her was whether he would bring ihe money. She held him as a slave and she offered him'for sale as a slave. When the expulsion act in 1788 was passed expelling free negroes and mulatto*;-, from Massachusetts it might have seemed to some people a little unnatnral to expel the mnlattoes, Ido not sav they were akin to the people of Massachusetts. It may have been that climatic influence had changed their color until they bore a likeness to the good people of that State. The cold, bleaching winds of Massachusetts or some other cause had ver>' largely modified theebonv-likecolor of the African in that State, aud had infu*ed a com|H/und of yellow, so that they were no longer called negroes but mnlattoes. Alter these mulatloe*. whether naturally or unuaturally, were expelled from Massa chusetts they doubtless took refuge in the Southern States, and their descendants there have multiplied, still transmitting the modi fied color inherited from climatic influence or other cause in Massachusetts. Any casual observer who will go iuto Massachusetts and Georgia will see that the proportion the mulattoes I/ear to the number ot negroes in that State is much greater than the propor tion In Georgia. Doubtless the wonderful effect of climate. If the climate of Massa chusetts does not change, there seems to l/e danger that the pure African blood will en tirely run out and the yellow hue will be the predominating color of the race. So wonderful is the effect of Ihe Massa chusetts climate upon the color of the African race that it has even followed them into their retreat in the milder atmosphere of the South. About twenty-one or two years ago an im mense cold wave from Massachusetts anil oth er Northern States bore aownii]zon tlie South, envelojied in smoke and streaked with fire; as frigid and inhospitable as the freezing wind* of a Massachusetts winter. Tins cold wave rested four long yeurs upon the South, and it bleached with yellow large numbers of the young of the negro race in that section, and tliey are now called mulattoes. The race was first bleached by Massachusetts when they were slaves there. They have since been bleached over again from Massachusetts since they left there. The census of 1880 doe* not show the pro portion that the mulattoes 1/ear in Georgia and Massaehusett* to the black raee; I do not find it in the census of 1S70; but in looking back to the census of 1860 i see they were taken separately, and I want to refer to it. In 1860 Georgia, as you know, was a slave State. What proportion did the mulattoes hear to the negroes, or the black*, as the cen sus designates them? There were in 18‘iO, ac cording to the census, 425,208 blacks and 36,000 mulattoes, being a little above S percent, of the colored race in Georgia who were inulat toes in 1860. Now, how did th 6 count stand in Massachusetts? In Slassachusettsatthesanie period there were 6,531 blacks and 3,071 mu lattoe*, being almost 50 per cent, of mulattoes in Massachusetts as compared with the whole number of blacks, and only a little over 8 per cent, iu Georgia. So much for slavery in Mas sachusetts ami Georgia, and so much for the origin and existence of mulattoes there. The Senate will remember that I did not intro duce slavery into this debate. Now, slr. President, a few words in reply to another part of the speech of the honorable Senator from Massachusetts. He stated in substance the other day when tip* question Wits last under discussion that the laws of Georgia were substantially the same as the Utah bi 1 in 'refer ence to the right of husband and wife to testi fy against each other in criminal cases, or their obligation to do so. The Senator has grossly misstated the law of my State, 1 will not say intentionally, for I think the book was handed to him on the spur of the moment and he probably had not time to examine it care fully. The only fault 1 find with him is that he did not examine it before he made the as sertion, What is the first section of this bill that he says is very similar to the laws of mv own State? it reads as follow*: “That iu any proceeding and examination before a grand Jitrr, a Judge, Justice, or a United States Commissioner, or a court in any prosecution for bigamy, polygamy, or unlaw ful cohabitation, under any statute of the United States, the lawful husband or wife of the person accused shall lie a competent wit ness, and may be called ami may l/e compelled to testify in such proceeding, examination, or prosecution without the consent of the hus band or wife, as the case may be.” That is the first section of the pending b.ll The Senator from Massachusetts insisted that the law of Georgia was substantially the same. Before I take my seat I must show that he grossly misstated the law of Georgia on that subject. The law of Georgia was the same as it was in most of the other Stales prior to the act of 1866, which was passed uy our Legislature and which is copied almost literally into the code, but as I have the pamphlet acts of the Legislature before me I propose to read from that instead of the code, simply remarking before I read that in no case prior to that time could husband or wife be a witness against each other ;the v conld in no case be compelled to testify against each other; they were not to bo called. Parlies to the record were not witnesses; parties who were infamous or convicted of felony were not witnesses; parties at interest were not wit nesses. In a word, the old rule of evidence substantially that we ape all familiar with ob tained. In 1866, the Legislature of Georgia passed this act: “An act to declare certain persons competent witnesses as in the act set out and for other purposes. PREAMBLE. “W here AS the inquiry after truth in courts or justice is often obstructed by incapacities created by the present law, an I it is desirable that full information as to the facts in issue, both in civil and criminal cases, should be laid before the persous who are to decide upon them, ant that such persons should exercise their judgment on the credit of the witnesses adduced for the truth of testimony. •‘.Section 1. Ee it enucted, etc.. That in all cases hereafter tried, no person offered as a witness shall hereafter be excluded by reason of incapacity from crime or interest, or from being a party, from giving evidence, either in person or by deposition, according to the prac tice of the court, on the trial of any issue joined or of any matter or question, or oh any inquiry arising in any suit, action or proceed ing, civil or criminal, in any court or before any Judge, jury, Sheriff, Coroner, Magistrate, officer or party, having by law or consent of parties authority to hear, receive and ex amine evidence; but that every person so offered shall be competent and compellablo to give evidence on behalf of either or any of the parties to said suit, action or other pro ceeding except as hereinafter excepted.” That is the general rule now. It re peals the old law of evidence and makes all persons, other than the exceptions that follow, competent wit nesses, leaving their disabilities and their credibility with the jury. Then these excep tions were made: '■■Provided, That when one of the original parties to the contract or cause of action in issue and ou trial is dead, or is shown to the court to be insane, or when an executor or administrator is a party in any suit on a con tract of his testator or intestate, the other party snail not be admitted to testify in his own favor. ‘•Sec. 2. But nothing herein contained shall render any person, wno in any criminal pro ceeding is cnarged with the commission of any indictable offense, or any offense punishable on summary conviction, competent or com pellable, to give evidence for or against him self or herself, or shall render any person compellable to answer any question tending ti criminate himself or herself, orshall in nnv criminal proceeding render any husband com petent or compellable to give evidence for or against his wife, or any wife competent) or compellable to give evidence for or against her husband; nor shall any attorney be com pellable to give evidence for or against his client. “Sec. 3. Nothing herein contained shall ap ply to any action, suit, or proceeding, or bill in any court of law or equity instituted in consequence of adultery, or to any action for breach of promise of marriage.” That is the act of 1866. of this latter part the Senator from Massachusetts undertook to make a change of the law of Georgia so as to jiermit husband and wife to testify against each other; but when you notice the act alto gether, the first section changes the old law and makes everybody competent except those who are excepted in the following sections, and one of thefollowingsectionshas theprovi sion that I have just read—that "nothing here in contained shall apply to anv action, suit or proceeding, or bill iu any court of law or equity instituted in consequence of adultery or to any action for breach of promise of mar riage.” Therefore it left the law exactly as it stood before on that question, and provided that nothing in the act should apply to those two cases. , the law be fore that act was passed? The law was that neither husband nor wife could testify in any action concern ing adultery, and the law was that in an action for breach of promise of marriage neither of the parties could testify. It leaves the law on those points exactly as it stood at common law. In case of an action for adnl tery or either of the other causes mentioned in that section the law stands as it stood before Nothing in the act contained shall apply to that, says the Legislature, and iu case of an action for breach of marriage contract it leaves the law precisely as it stood before. So the Senator from Massachusetts is en tirely inaccurate when he savs that the law of Georgia has been changed on that subject. The only modification of the law ia that where the wife herself was the injured party, as for instance in the case of wife-whipping, which is & criminal offense in Georgia, the wife may lie called as a witness to prove the whipping, but in all other matters the law there stands just as it stood before. The Senator from Massachusetts, in attempting to show that the law of Georgia was applicable in this case, made a very egregious mistake. liow does it stand in Massachusetts? By reference to the statutes of Massachusetts I find, first, neither husband nor wife shall be allowed to testify as to private communica tions with each other: second, neither hus band nor wife shall txj compelled to be a wit ness on any trial upon any indictment, com plaint, or other criminal proceeding against the other. So that neither Massachusetts nor Georgia permits or ever has permitted or I presume ever qrill permit, the outrage against' the home and the breach qf confidence be tween linshaml and wife which it is proposed by the first section of this bill to onaot as a law. # What is the reason, Mr. President, for this exclusion of husband and wife, and thisdenial of the right to compel them to give evidence against each other? I will read from a dis tinguished Massachusetts author as to the pol icy of the law on that subject. Mr. Greenlcaf. of Massachusetts, in his first volume on evi dence, section 334, savs: jj essential to the happiness-of social life that the confidence subsisting between husband and wife should be sacredlv pro tected and cherished in its most unlimited ex tnt, and to break down or impair trie great principles which protect the sanctity ot that relation would be to destroy the best solace of human existence.” Again he says; . happiness of the married state requires that there should be the most unlimited con fiilenee between husoand and wife, ami this omHdeoce the law secures by providing that it shall be kept forever inviolable; that noth ing shall be extracted from the bosom of the ?^ue.^ r . llic,, w aa confided there by the hus (First Greeuiears Evidence, section s-H.i A train he says: “But the object really is to secure domestic happiness by piling the protecting seal of the law upon all confidential communications be twwu the husband and wife, ami whatever has come to i lie knowledge of cither by means of the hallowed confidence which that rela tion inspires eauuot be afterward divulged in testimony even though the other party be no hunger living.” (First Greenleaf s Evidence. Yet it is proposed by this bill to destroy ab solutely that rule which affects the confidence and happiness, and, as Greenleaf savs, the greatest solace of human existence. It is pro posed, in the wild madness, in the fanaticism that now rules the Mormon question, to break down all these sacred barriers that protected the family for so long a time from the earliest period of English history and to apply a rule that has never been applied between husband and wife so far as 1 know in a civilized country, that In proceeding on indict ment against one of the parties for adultery or bigamy the other, without even being summoned, may be arrested and carried into court and compelled to testify. The pretext here is that we are legislating to make happy homes in Utah. The argu ment is that we are legislating to suppress polygamy and to have one husband to one wife, and to make that home a happy one. If Mr. Greenleaf he right as to the objects and aims of civil society and the objects of the law protecting the marriage relation, we are legislating to destroy one of the greatest safe guards of the home and of human happiness, I repel the statement that the State of Georgia ever has or ever will pass such unwise and outrageous laws. lam glad to see that the State or Massachusetts never has passed such a law, and I know of no other State in the Union that has. It would be iniquitous ami it would be monstrous. There are other iioints, if I had the time at present to follow the senator from Massa chusetts, that I should like to notice, f should like to point out the absolute confiscation of cinirch property that is provided for in this proposed act under the section that he refers to when he speaks of the amendment of his hill. I think it certainly needs amending, but I cau point out that'under a different section, which I will do as we go along, for I propose to try to amend it. As it stauds it amounts to absolute confiscation of church properly in open and palpable viola tion of the constitution of the United States. However, Mr. President, I do not desire to say more at present. After my amendment now before the Senate is acted upon I shall have some other amendment to introduce, when these subjects may come up more ap propriately. A Costly Artesian Well Experiment. Two years ago the Winchester Arms Company, of New Haven, Conn., which uses a vast amount of water daily, set out to save water hills by sinking an artesian well on their premises in the heart of the city. A large frame-work was put up, an engine erected, and the work of putting a six-inch hole down towards the centre of the earth was begun by Contractor John Hogan, a man of much experience, Irom the Pennsylvania oil regions. In a month the hole reached a depth at which ordi narily plenty of water is found, but Mr. Hogan’s bore was as dry as powder. He made a fresh contract, and then another and another, and kepton working towards the centre of the earth. Still no water was reached. At length sandstone was struck, and this made progress more than ever slow. The concern has spent slß,ooo on the well, and now finds itself a hole within a few feet of half a mile deep on its hands, with no water in it. To make matters still worse, it is found that a chunk of iron has lallen to the bottom of the shaft, thus effectually crippling the work of the drill. It will take three months to drill through it, and Mr. Hogan has gone to Penn sylvania for a machine with which he hopes to be able to fish the obstruction out. If he fails, the well will probably be given up. “If the company wants to spend tbo money,” said a man connected with the company, “Hogan will strike water, even if he has to bore all the way to China. lie has only gone half a mile now, but is perfectly willing, I am told, to go half a mile iurther. Whether thb Winchester Company wants to spend any more on the sceme is a matter of some doubt.” Undoubtedly there is plenty of water below' the sandstone belt. He Was a UnicyclUt. Buffalo Express.

But we de sire to say that Swift’s Specific (S. S. 8.) is a decided exception to this rule. This remedy is manufactured in Atlanta, Ga.; and in our treatise on Blood and Skin dis eases we give the indorsement of many of the prominent people of our city and State. It is true we are spending a'large amount in advertising, for we think it our duty to humanity to do so. The wonder ful development in the treatment of Can cer alone would make it our duty to have it known to every sufferer in the world.

Swift’s Specific is a vegetable remedy, and restores the system to health and builds up the waste made by these poisons. “I was suffering with Blood Poison, and treated several months with Mercury and Potash, only to make me worse. The Potash took away my appetite and gave me dyspep sia, and both gave me rheumatism. I then took Sarsaparillas. etc. All these Sarsaparilla mixtures have Potash in them. This made me still worse; as it drove the poison farther into my system. A friend insisted I should take Swift’s Specific, and it cared me of the Blood Poison, drove the Mercury and Potash out of my system, and to-day I am as well as I ever was.’’ GEO. O.
