WHEN THE GAVEL FELL.
Scenes at the W ind-up of the Forty
third-Congress—The Ovation to
Speaker Blaine— A Poor Session for
the Lobbyists— Crestfallen Stay-at-
Homes.
[Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
Washington, March 4.—The event of
ho day was the manner in which
Speaker Blame was complimented at
the close of his brief speech adjourn
ing the House without day. The hall
was packed with humanity, the gal
leries and floor bei :g crowded to suffo
cation. About an hour before the ad
journment, the ladies were admitted to
the floor, and they soon filled it com
pletely. Mr. Blaine’s speech was so
happy, so modest, dignified and elo
quent, and his manner was so fitting to
his utterance that the performance
alone was worth the compliment. The
courage with which he inspired the
weaker men who wished to be honest,
but feared the party whip, was re
markable, and saved the country
much that would have been not only
disgraceful, but dongerous to the in
stitutions of the country. His worst
enemy could not resist the temptation
to join in the applause to-day, and it
was so generous and so hearty, and so
often repeated, each time with increas
ing warmth and meaning, that it made
the cast-iron Speaker melt like the
soft-hcatened impulsive man that he
is, and -he bent under the wei iht of
his honors, unable to speak. He could
only bow automatically his thanks.
This has been a poor session for lobby,
ists and jobbers, as was also the last
one. Very few steals have succeded,
and these were small and will be found
in the appropriations for public build
ings and rivers and harbors. The great
American patriot will gladly overlook
these little steals for the benefit of his
own particular locality, however, and
these, therefore, may be said not to
count.
[Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Senate this morning, after its
night session, presented the appear
ance of a battle field. Scraps of waste
• paper, torn up speeches, aud mutilated
eloquence, bills and billet-doux, duns,
and what not, lay scattered all over the
floor in one white, uudistinguishable
litter. The night bad been eventful.
Half a dozen Senators were contesting
the floor at once, and all going on the
now-or-never style of doing business.
Newly-elected members sat around the
chamber, wondering how they would
look after au all-night session, and
eager to try it on. Finally, 12 o’clock
was reached, and an era ended in the
United States Senate which, for party
bigotry, and cruelty, and subserviency
to Executive dictation, is without a
parallel in history.
THE CROWDS AT THE HOUSE.
The Capitol was crowded with visit
ors, black and white, blue and gray,
male and female. The gentle sex over
flowed into the reporter’s gallery, not
a single one of the intruders repaying
by a pretty face the annoyance to the
regular occupants, and others were let
in on the floor of the House, and found
delight in filling for a time the seats of
the scornful and desperately wicked
body. There was the same rush of
business, but nothing of much import
passed. The great thiug to be seen
was the crowd itself, some 5,000 eager
faces all waiting for the end and Mr.
Blaine’s parting address. *
Twelve o’clock came, the gavel fell
and the Speaker’s voice rang out sharp
and clear as he uttered his good-bye to
the House. There were no sentences
in it destined to live in history, no tel
ling of the strange, eventful undercur
rent of the greatest parliamentary
struggle of modern times, of which
none knew so much as he ; but the fare
well was fitly, cordially, and modestly
said, and rewarded by plaudits so gen
eral, prolonged, and so hearty from all
quarters, that it might be fairly called
an ovation.
The crowd lingered like the applause.
The ladies seemed loth to go. There
were many goodbyes to be said all
around, and for an hour after the Con
gress had passed into history the hall
was full of spectators.
There is a general feeling of relief
that the Forty-third Congress has end
ed, although the members wjio have
not been elected appear crestfallen.
Kissing the Small-pox.—At Mount
\ ernon the inhabitants are congratu
lating themselves on having escaped
the horrors of an epidemic. It appears
that a young woman, named Carroll,
returned to her father’s house in that
village a 9hort time since and died in
a day or two afterward. During the
wake which followed, a large number
of persons present kissed the corpse.
It has now transpired that the girl died
of smail-pox in its worst and most ma
lignant form. None of Mr. Carroll’s
other children having been vaccinated,
the contagion spread itself among
them, carrying off all but two, out of
seven. Nothing could be dqne to re
strain the inmates of the pestilential
abode from going at large and inter
mingling with the community while
the dangerous infection existed.

THE CIVIL RIGHTS LAW.
How it Works in Baltimore—Views
of Prominent Colored Citizens-The
Hotel Question m Other Cities, &c.
It has already been stated that the
colored people of Baltimore take the
Civil Rights bill very quietly, and there
have been no evidences, so far, of any
intended demonstration on their part.
Some of the hotel proprietors have
been much exercised over the situa
tion in which the law places them. The
proprietor of the Mansion House, tak
ing the initiative, publishes a card
stating that the house i9 not kept as an
inn or hotel, but as a private boarding
house, taking transient boarders at
terms to be agreed upon. This is the
course pursued by some hotels in Vir
ginia, especially where colored people
traveling are numerous. The proprie
tor of the Mansion House does not
run the bar, and has no omnibuses at
depots, etc. The civil rights law ex
pressly applies to inns, which are li
censed houses required to give public
entertainment. By changing their
status to private boarding-houses it is
expected to avoid the consequences of
violating the Federal law, which are
severe. This leaves the question of li
cense with the State and municipality.
MEETING OF HOTEL KEEPERS.
The proprietors of the principal ho
tels of Baltimore met for consultation
Tuesday night at the Carrollton, ad
journing over until last night, when
they again met at Barnum’s City Hotel.
At the second meeting Barnum’s, the
Carrollton, Eutaw, St. Clair, Maltby,
Guy’s, Rennert’s and the Howard House
were represented. It was determined
to follow the course to be pursued by
the principal hotels in New York City—
that is, to do all that can be done to
avoid any violation of law. Should
there, be any necessity the accommo
dations will be designated by the pro
prietors, and all who are in a hotel will
receive the same fare, the proprietors
to regulate the location of rooms, etc.,
in the same manner as they have been
accustomed to do. In New York it is
expected a test of the matter will be
made to-day at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. Those who were in attendance
at the meeting last night* prefer to
leave the matter until the exigencies of
occurring cases compel them to act,
but it is understood the above is the
determination they came to.
WHAT A COLORED BISHOP SAYS.
In a conversation yesterday Bishop
A. W. Wayman, of the African M. E.
Church, aud Mr. Webb, cashier of the
Baltimore branch of the late Freed
men’s Savings Bank, both intelligent
me a, experienced in the needs of their
race, and both exerting considerable
influence with them, gave their views
freely in reference to the bill, coincid
ing with the expressions of the Sun on
the subject yesterday, which recogniz
ed that in BaLiuiore the colored peo
ple generally take care of themselves
and mind their own business. People
who do this will always achieve for
themselves independence and their
proper social recognition, which no
laws can legislate them into, whether
framed by Mr. Sumner or tinkered by
Mr. Butler.
Bishop Wayman said the colored
people have numerous churches and
schools of their own in Baltimore, and,
said, he, “they have their own grave
yards too.” As to theatres and restau
rants, the good bishop did not care
about them at all, but he knows the
colored people are too well accommo
dated with drinking places of their own,
and they have very numerous public
entertainments at scores of halls all
over the city. Houses of public enter
tainment kept by respectable colored
people are as plenty as the needs of the
population demand, aud no disposition
is manifested to interfere with the
white people by respectable colored
people. Neither the bishop nor Mr.
Webb expressed any gratification at
the passage of the bill, nor did they
state any objection to it. Both were of
opinion that the colored people could
not be elevated in the social scale by
legal statute, but must depend upon
their personal worth and endeavor. —
They said that in a week, if the ques
tion was not agitated by the white peo
ple, it would be forgotten in Baltimore
that there was a civil rights bill. If
any overt acts are undeataken by
colored people here they would be by
strangers or designing politicians
among the colored residents of the
city.
THE LAW IN OTHER CITIES —VIEWS OF
HOTEL KEEPERS, RESTAURATEURS AND
LEADING COLORED MEN.
The New York Tribune says the Civil
Rights bill having been signed by the
President, the question of the right of
colored people to the privileges of the
hotels and theatres is exciting consid
erable attention in that city. A Tinbune
representative conversed on Tuesday
with the managers of several leading
theatres as to the probable effect of the
law on their business.
WHAT THE* MANAGERS THINK.
Theodore Moss, of Wallack’s The
atre, said that, the management had not
determined how to act. Theatres are <a
luxury, and the managers ought to
have the right to run them in their own
way, and admit whom they please to
admit, and to refuse admission to those
who would injure their business or who
were otherwise objectionable. Sheri
dan Shook, of the Union Square The
atre, stated that the theatre would no
doubt obey the law, but it did not fol
low that colored people would be ad
mitted except on the conditions made
by the proprietors. Mr. Fiske, of Daly’s
Fifth Avenue Theatre, said that there
had been set aside a portion of the
family circle in that house for colored
people, and he did not expect that the
arrangements would be altered except
under advice of counsl. Mr. Tooker,
of Booth’s Theatre,, stated that there
would probably be a union of interests,
and the theatres would be governed by
the advice of counsel. At the Lyceum
Theatre and the Academy of Music it
was also understood that the mana
gers would be guided in their course
by counsel.
INTENTIONS OF HOTEL KEEPERS AND RES
TAURANT PROPRIETORS.
The leading hotel proprietors were
also interviewed. At the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, Mr. Griswold said he did not
think that the bilL would trouble the
New York hotel proprietors. To the
question if he would permit colored
men to have such rooms as they de
sired, he said he did not allow his
present guests to dictate to him as to
what portion of the house they would
occupy ; they were assigned such rooms
as he saw fit to give them, and if they
were not satisfied they were at perfect
liberty to go elsewhere.
At the Grand Central H. L. Powers,
the lessee, was called upon, and in re
ply to the question whether he would
entertain colored guests, he said that
GLA.., TUESDAY MO RISTIISTGL MAECH 9, 1875.
he did not think he would be either
honored or troubled with them. When
asked if he would allow them to sit at
the general table, he said that the hotel
was provided with three dining rooms,
and as he did not allow any one to
dictate in his establishment he could
dispose of colored guests as he saw
fit, and that if he saw fit to put any
one in the smallest dining-room he
should do so.
At the St. Denis, in reply to the ques
tion whether the hotel would admit
colored guests, the clerk said that if it
was the law he supposed that there
would be nothing left for the manage
ment to do but to obey. The general
impression given by the proprietors
was that probably all their rooms
would be occupied, or not in a condition
to receive undesirable guests.
In conversation with the leading
New York restaurant proprietors, there
was found a bitter sentiment of oppo
sition to the features of the Civil
Rights bill relating to the entertain
ment of the negro in public houses and
restaurants. The proprietor of many
years’ experience with colored waiters,
had found them the first to protest
against serving their own people. He
thought it a matter that would regulate
itself ; that the interests of his business
and the sentiments of his patrons
should be protected, and this even at
the disregard of law. He preferred to
pay penalties rather than suffer the
destruction of his business. Another
gentleman, employing French servants,
stated that he should exercise the
right, as he always had, of discriminat
ing with regard to the quality aud
character of his patrons ; that he could
not entertain colored people, intoxicat
ed or disreputable persons, nor those
who were untidily dressed ; that in all
these matters he waS obliged to exer
cise the greatest, caution. The senti
ments of other proprietors were fouud
to be similar to these. Only one was
found that expressed himself willing to
abide by the law. Generally no trou
ble was apprehended from the new law,
as it was thought that the matter
would regulate itself in the future, as
it had done in the past.
VIEWS OF PROMINENT COLORED MEN.
The feeling of the colored portion of
the population in New York generally
was found to be that the Civil Rights
bill was of little advantage to the race,
and as a political measure was a fail
ure. Isaac H. Hunter, one of the mem
bers of the Liberal Republican Asso
ciation, said that the Radical Republi
cans had played this measure as their
last card, and in so doing had thought
to win over the colored vote ; but the
colored men had lost all confidence in
the Republican party ; aud by taking
from Charles Sumner’s bill the very es
sence of civil rights to the colored man,
the Republicans had spoiled their
whole game. The>colored voters had
depended on the Radical Republicans
so long, and had absolutely gained
nothing, that they were not likely now
to place any trust in them for the fu
ture.
Peter W. Downing, who is in the
custom-hous said it would have been
better if no bill at all had been passed
than the present one. It gave the
colored man no other rights than he
had already gained under the amend
ment to the Constitution. The Rev. J.
Morris Williams said that the bill did
not give satisfaction to the colored
people generally, although a large
proportiou accepted it as the best they
were likely to get under the circum
stances. In his opinion it showed that
the administration party was very
weak in the knees. The Rev. Jacob
Thomas said that he was not satisfied
with the bill, as it was virtually of lit
tle practical effect. The Rev. William
Spellman said that he thought the
Civil Rijjhts bill, as a law, will be like
many other statutes, entirely value
less and of no effect. The prejudices
of some persons would still remain,
and they would continue to evade the
law withour, actually violating its
tenets.

NEW HAMPSHIRE.
The Part Gordon and Lamar Will Play
in the Canvass.
The campaign in New Hampshire is
attracting a g reat deal of attention
here. The Rep üblicans feel very san
guine of their ability to carry the* elec
tion. The acts of the Democratic Le
gislature of that State have been
characterized by a great deal of parti
san unfairness, it is charged, and it is
upon this ground principally that the
Republicans hope to succeed. Both
parties are put ting forth unusual exer
tions, and the campaign promises to be
very closely contested. Senator Gor
don, of Georgia, and L. Q. Lamar, of
Mississippi, ha ve been secured by the
Democrats to speak in the State, and
will start in a few days to begin their
labors. They announce their intention
to make such speeches as they have
delivered in Congress in the interests
of peace and reconciliation between the
North aud the South. Gen. Gordon
has prepared his speech with great
care, in which ho repudiates, on behalf
of his fellow-soldiers of the rebel army,
the idea that the South desires any
payment of the rebel debt or for slaves
emancipated during the war, and em
phntically declaring that in this he
promulgates the policy of the next Con
gress.

says he, “ I wish you would give me

Sal Soda?” says the clerk. “Wall,

of Christian Thought, Effort and Progress;
of Current Literature and News; of Finance
and Commerce, it is to supply all Cris
tian Families througnout the enuntry just
such a metropolitan paper as they need.
Our Editor-in-Chief,
CHARLES F. DEEMS. D‘ D.,
is so widely known as a ripe scholar, an el
oquent and popular Divine, an earnest
worker in the cause of Christ, and as the
possessor of the highest order of Literary
ability, that his name is a tower of strength
to our enterprise; and supported by the
eminent and efficient corps of assistants
that he has called to his aid, we have no
hesitation inasserting that, in point of Edi
torial excellence, wo shall puolish a sur
passingly Christian Newspaper. We
shall endeavor to make each weekly issue
transcend itspredece-sor
DR. DEEMS’ SERMONS.
It is proposed to publish once a month
or oftener, a full report or abstract of a
Sermon or Lecture by Rev. Dr. Deems.
Thus the thousands from diuerent parts of
the land who crowd the “Church of the
Strangers” will have a memorial of the
service which they attended, or the repre
duction of some other discourse from the
same preacher. The CHRISTIAN AGE is
furnished at $3 a year aud to each sub
scriber is given the great Historical En
graving :
THE FOUNDERS AND PIONEERS OF
METHODISM.
It contains 250 portraits of leading Meth
odists in ail parts of the world, and in all
its branches; artistically arranged in an
oval picture, for the walls of the drawing
room.
We want only active Agents, those who
will do the work thoroughly. We give ex
clusive control of territory, and do not wish
to waste our field upon poor agents, and
will insist upon active work, regular and
prompt reports, and a strict following of
our terms and instructions; and if this is
done, there is no business you can engage
in, with anything like the same capital, and
make as much money, in these times, or
make it as easily. We give as much terri
tory as an agent can handle to advantage,
auu give the territory desired and called
for, so far as we can. Terms, Circulars, etc.
sent to any address.
If you want to make money, try it!
Remittances by Mail should be made by
Registered Letters or Drafts, or Post Office
