Chicago, June 2.—The following
manifesto is published this morning:
“We, the undersigned, delegates to the
national convention from Pennsylvania,
knowing that the sentiment of the Re
publicans of said State is largely against
the nomination of Gen. U. S. Grant for
President, and having the best interests
of the Republican party at heart, and de
siring honestly to represent our constitu
ents, hereby pledge ourselves to vote
against his nomination.” Signed by 23
delegates.
Senators Wagner, West, Robinson and
others of the protesting New York dele
gation are receiving numerous telegrams
from their constituents, endorsing their
action and urging firmness.
Senator B. K. Bruce was serenaded at
the Palmer Ilouse last night, by bU col
ored friends—among the delegates rep
resenting all the Southern States. They
were enthusiastic in their expressions in
favor of his nomination for vice president,
lie made a brief speech from the ro
tunda.
George Williams, of Cincinnati, re
sponded in his behalf, in an eloquent
speech full of compliments for the man
ner in which Senator Bruce had repre
sented the colored race in Congress.
There seems to be a determination on
the part of the colored delegates to pre
sent the name of Senator Bruce in the
convention for Vice President.
The national committee yesterday de
cided that neither of the Louisiana dele
gates should be admitted to the tempo
rary organization of the convention. It
is now stated that the Grant managers
are much more confident of secariug his
nomination on the first ballot. In fact
they are pretty well convinced they can
secure it. If they should not and should
fail to secure au increased vote on the
second ballot, it is rumored that the
Grant leaders have decided to throw the
votes which they control, some 300 or
325, for Edmunds.
The claim is made that this would noin.
inate Edmunds as against any other can
didate or combination. The meeting of
the Grant leaders last night is said to
have had this ultimate object in view.
They still keep a strong iront, and claim
they have about 400 votes.
SECOND DISPATCH.
Chicago, June 2.—The Grant caucus
lasted until midnight. There were nearly
400 delegates in the room. John Went
worth presided. Conkling made a pow
erful speech, setting forth the reason why
they should stand solid for Grant, and not
he frightened by a parcel of boys, as he
characterized the supporters of opposing
candidates. lie said all they need do was
to be firm and Grant would be nomi
nated.
The Blaine delegates also held a caucus.
They claim 300 on the first ballot, with
the probability of subsequent gains. Ex-
Secretary Bout we 11 admitted last night
that liis count left Grant 40 to 50 short of
a majority.
THIKD DISPATCH.
Chicago, June 2.—Tlic convention
was called to order at one o’clock. Tem
porary chairman George F. Iloar was
elected unanimously, and is now address
ing the convention.
11:45 a. M The building in which the
national Republican convention is being
held, presents a scene of striking interest.
Situated on the lake shorn, within a short
distance of the very heart of the city, it is
witlun a few minutes’ walk of the great
hotels.
Sitting on the platform and looking
around, it lias the appearance of an
immense tunnel, with seats rang
ing upon it from the floor to
half of the extreme height, those
of cither end and side facing each
other. The platform occupies the south
ern side—right under it being a section ar
ranged for the committeemen, guests, re
porters and correspondents of the press,
who are here by hundreds. The roof and
sides are decorated with flags and ban
ners. At the extreme north end is a large
picture of Abraham Lincoln, in the centre
of the canvass a strip bearing the cele
brated motto: “And that govern
ment of the people, by the people and for
the people shall not perish from the face
of the earth.”
More toward the centre hangs a still
larger picture of Washington, while on
the south end over the stage is a gigantic
bust of the late Senator Chandler.
The iocatiou of the various delegations
is indicated by shields bearing the name
of the State or Territory. The hall is
about two-thirds full, and the appearance
of prominent men, as they enter, is greeted
with applause. Every moment delegates
are entering and takingtlieir places, while
the military band stationed in the centre
is playing patriotic and other airs. At
11:30 the delegates were generally in tlieir
seats, but the galleries are filling slowly,
and there is no sign of coming to order.
FOURTH DISPATCn.
Chicago, June 2.—At five minutes af
ter one Chairman Cameron, of the na
tional Republican committee, called the
convention to order, aud called upon
Rev. Dr. Kittridge, of Chicago, who
opened tliq, proceedings with prayer.
Mr. Cameron briefly addressed the
convention, referring to the bitterness
which had attended the preliminary cau
cus, and which he hoped would now dis
appear in air, and expressed the determin
ation to put in nomination for President,
the strongest candidate, and one who
would command the respect of the civilized
world. He counselled harmonious and
united action. In conclusion he an
nounced that he had been instructed by
the national committee to put in nomina
tion for chairman, Hon Geo. F. Hoar, of
Massachusetts. [Applause.] The nom
ination was unanimously ratified, and
Messrs. Davis, of Texas, Frye, of Maine,
and Raum, of Illinois, were appointed a
committee to conduct him to the chair.
Mr- Iloar, on taking the platform, ad
dressed the convention at some length.
He said the function of the convention, if
wisely used, was that of naming the roan
whom the people would make president.
He mad* a reference to the nomination of
Lincoln, twenty years ago, which was
greeted with applause. Ho said that Lin
coln had gone to rest, but his associate on
the ticket, Hamlin, was here to-day in full
vigor, still discharging actively his duty to
his country ami party. [Applause.] lie
reviewed briefly the history of the war and
its political results and consequences,
and criticised the policy of the
Democratic party in that connection.
That party, he claimed, was to-day actua
ted by the same old rebel spirit in the
North, South, East and West—was the
party of fraud, oppression, and the over
riding of justice. For iu Maine it ambi
tiously sought to pilfer a whole State.
[Applause.] While the Republican par
ty, on the other hand, tells us of rebellion
subsued, of slaves enfranchised, of sound
currency restored, of the flag floating ev
erywhere, honored and respected.
In conclusion, Mr. Hoar said he would
discharge his duties as chairman faith-
fuly and without respect to persons.
The following were appointed tempora
ry secretaries: "John H. Roberts, of Illi
nois, and C. L. Magee, of Pennsylvania;
also, Charles W. Clisby, of Alabama, and
J. C. Bradwcll, of Missouri, as reading
clerks, and Eugene Davis, of New York,
as official stenographer.
Mr. Hale, of Maine, to expedite busi
ness, moved a resolution that the roll of
States and Territories be called, and the
chairman of each-delegation shall name
its members of committees in the follow
ing order: On permanent orgauization, on
rules and order of business, on creden
tials and on resolutions. Adopted with
out objection. . .
The roll was accordingly called, and the
committee named. Ohio's presenta
tion of James A. Garfield as a member of
one committee, was greeted with consider
able applause. Utah being excluded in
the roll of States and Territories, Mr.
Frye asked that it be included. Mr.
Conkling, of New York, on rising was re
ceived with applause. He said there was
objection to Mr. Frye’s request, holdings
lie did, that the order ol the convention
had been executed as prepared by the
national committee. There was a contest
in Utah as in Louisiana, and so it had
been omitted. The chair ruled that as
the committee’s roll had been called, a
motion to add any State or Territoiy was
in order.
Frye said it was agreed by the commit
tee that Utah should be pat upon that
roll [great applause], and that the secre-
retary of the national committee says the
Utah omission was made by mistake.
[Wild applause.]
Conkling said if there had been a mis
take it should be corrected.
The only special significance of this
colloquial incident was the enthusiastic
applause which greeted Frye, from both
the galleries and the floor.
McCormick, of Arizona, moved a call of
the roll of States and territories for pre
sentation of credentials, notices of con
tests, aud for papers. Adopted.
On call of roll, Alabama and Arkansas
gave notice of contest. Henderson, of
Iowa, gave notice of contest in ten dis
tricts of Illinois. [Applause in the galle
ries.] Wannoth gave notice of a contest
in Louisiana. Contests were also noti
fied in Pennsylvania and Utah, the latter
by Conkling, by request.
Conkling moved that, as some of the
committees already appointed could not
report in time for an evening session to
night, the convention take a recess
until to-morrow inoruing at 11 o’clock.
Mr. Hale concurred in the uselessness
of an evening session, and supported
Coukling’s motion, which was adopted.
So a recess was taken at 3 p. m. until 11
a. m. to-morrow.
FIFTH DISPATCH.
Chicago, June 2.—Mr. Logan moved
that instructions be given to the commit
tee on tickets of admission to issue 500
tickets daily to veterans of the army;
that justice had been done to them by ev
ery other national Republican convention,
and why should not it be done now and
here. [Applause.] There were veteran
soldiers supporting each one of the Presi
dential candidates—so there was no par
ticular meaning in his motion. He had
to enter the building this morning without
a ticket because he could not get or.e from
the national committee. He was here,
and he wanted to see veterans here also
—not to make a noise or to cheer for any
man, but to look upon the convention
which had to nominate the man for whom
they would have to vote. [Loud clieers].
Mr. Kilpatrick, of New Jersey, seconded
the resolution with all his heart. It was
adopted.
SIXTH DISPATCH.
Chicago, June 2.—The committee on
credeutials organized and adjourned until
5 p. uk The Grant meu moved that B.
F. Tracy, of New York, be made chair
man. Mr. Chandler, of Maine, moved to
substitute the name of Mr. Conger, of
Michigan, which was agreed to by 29 to
11.
Mr. Fessenden, of Massachusetts, was
appointed secretary of the committee.
There are anticipations of a stormy all-
night session of the committee.
The committee on rules aud order of
business, oiganized, with James A. Gar
field as chairman, aud Thos. W. Chase, of
Rhode Island, as secretary. After a
sub-committee, consisting of the chair
man, L. Letveliyn Powers, of Maine,
Kobt. M. Morse Jr., of Massachusetts,
Congress.
Washington, May 31.—In the Senate,
on motion of Mr. Eaton, the House joint
resolution requesting the President to
open negotiations witli France, Spain and
Austria, with a view to the removal of
duties upon the importation of tobacco
into said countries, was taken up aud
passed.
The bill appropriating one hundred
thousand dollars to erect a monument at
Yorktown and thirty thousand for the
celebration of the victory there were un
der discussion when the morning hour ex
pired.
On motion of Mr. Covert, of New
York,the Senate amendments to the agri
cultural appropriation bill were not con
curred in.
The House then went into committee
of the whole on the general deficiency
bill. Mr. Cobb, of Indiana, spoke briefly
on the bill, aud then Mr. Reagan, of Tex
as, took the floor and proceeded to speak
upon the inter-State commerce bill.
Mr. Cox, of New York, raised the point
that it was out of order for Mr. Reagan
to make such a speech, because the House
was in committee of the whole. The
Chair overruled the point of order. Mr.
Baker appealed from the ruling, and, no
quorum voting, the committee rose.
Mr. Springer, of Illinois, moved that
the House proceed to consider business on
the Speaker’s table. No quorum voted
on this motion, and, at 4:30 p. m., the
House adjourned.
Washington, May 31.—On motion of
Mr. Burnside, the Senate took up the
House bill to carry into effect the resolu
tion of Congress adopted October 29th,
17S1, with regard to a monument and cel
ebration at Yorktown, Virginia. It ap
propriates one hundred thousand dollars
for the erection of a monument, and thir
ty thousand to defraying the expenses ot
the Yorktown centennial celebration.
After considerable debate, in which Messrs.
Kernan, Maxey, Hampton, Withers,
Johnson, Butler, and others, supported
the bill, and Cockrell and Morrill opposed
it. The bill was amended so as to pro
vide that thirteen Senators shall be mem
bers of the commission for the selection
of a site, aud was then passed.
The Senate then resumed the consider
ation of the Eaton tariff commission
bill. Mr. Dawes supported the bill, be
cause lie was in favor of a revision and re
form of the tariff. Many articles on the
list should be made free, and an adjust
ment should be made of the whole list.
He then replied at length to the recent
speech of Mr. Beck, of Kentucky,
Mr. Maxey, of Texas, said he desired
without going into the merits of the tariff,
to give his reasons for voting for the bill.
He believed the power granted to Con
gress to impose the tariff was limited to
the raising of money to pay debts and pro
vide for common defense and general
welfare. He didn’t think tins power
covered a protective tariff. Those who
proposed such tariff claimed that it was
covered by the. words, “general
welfare;” but it had never been
satisfactorily established that a protective
tariff worked to the general welfare of the
country. He believed a tariff could be
constitutionally imposed only for revenue,
The Senate could* not originate revenue
bills, but it could and should pass this
bill, and get all intelligent information
possible, so that when the House should
E. F. Drake, of Minnesota, H. C. Carter, finally be induced to act, it could act on a
of Mississippi, General Geo. H. Sharp, of full knowledge of facts.
New York, A. J. Turner, of Mississippi,
iiad been appointed, to draft rules and
regulations to be submitted to the commit
tee to-morrow at 9 o’clock, the committee
adjourned until that time.
The committee on resolutions oiganized
with Edwards Fierrepont, of New York,
as chairman, and T. D. Edwards, of Ne
vada, as secretary. After hearing the
delegates from the National Woman's
Suffrage Convention iu favor of resolu
tions in the national platform favoring
woman’s suffrage, the committee took a
recess until eleven o’clock.
SEVENTH DISPATCH.
Chicago, June 2.—When the commit
tee ou credentials convened to-night, after
transacting some preliminary business, it
was decided to take up the contests in al-
pliabetical order; under which rule Ala
bama was the first case called. The cre
dentials of James F. Rapier, under the
hand of the chairman and secretaty of the
fourth Congressional district, were pres-
seuted, and after hearing arguments
pro and con, the committee, by a vote of
31 ayes to 12 nays, 3 not voting, decided
that Rapier was entitled to his seat. The
vote in this case shows the complexion of
the committee. It is reported to-night
that Col. Bob Ingersoll will appear on the
floor of the convention to-morrow as a
proxy. Ingersoll to-night declined to
state whether this would be so or not, but
admitted that he had been offered a
proxy.
EIGnT DISPATCH.
CniCAOO, June 3, 12:30 a- m.—
The contest in the seventh congression
al district of Alabama, in which Willard
Warner and Wm. H. Smith, (anti-Grant),
elected by the district convention, claimed
seats now occupied by A. Bingham and R.
A. Mosely, jr., elected by the State con
vention and instructed for Grant, next
came up. After hearing statements by
which it appeared that Bingham and
Mosely had been seated in the place
of Warner and Smith, ou the latter refus
ing to take a pledge to obey the State’s
instructions. A discussion ensued, in
which Mr. Chandler, General Tracy, and
others, joined. General Tracy asked if
the committee was prepared to usurp the
right of the national convention, to undo
the action of a State convention in the se
lection of delegates. Mr. Chandler re
plied that lie had no hesitation instating
that in voting on this case or any other,
which might come before the committee,
lie would vote to seat in the convention
any delegate honestly and regularly elec
ted by a district, in any case where the
State, by an arbitrary majority, had over
ridden the expressed choice of the district.
On motion, decison on the case under
discussion was postponed until after hear
ing of the Illinois contest.
The committee at ten o’clock took a
recess, after wliidh the Illinois case will
be taken up. The committee on perma
nent organization, by a vote of 31 to 9,
decided to report Geo. F. Hoar as perma
nent chairman of the convention.
NINTH DISPATCH.
CmcAGO, June 3.—A vote was taken
in the credentials committee on the ad
mission of Rapier from the fourth district
of Alabama, which was the first test of
the relative strength of the Grant and
anti-Grant men in said committee. The
ayes were Colorado, Connecticut,
Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Mich
igan, Minnessota, Mississippi, Ne
braska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon,
Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia,

bia, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico,
Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. The
nays—Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado,
Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland.
Wisconsin, New' York, Pennsylvania,
Texas and Virginia—31 to 12.
Pithy and to the Point.
A large committee of Newnan citizens
recently addressed an earnest appeal to
Chief Justice Hiram Warner, asking him
to permit the use of his name before the
State nominating convention as a candi
date lev governor. The quaint response
of the grim judge is as follows:
Atlanta, May 25, 1SS0.
Messrs. T. M. Jones and others, New-
nan—Gentlemen: I am in receipt of
yo’ir letter of the 21st inst. The office of
governor belongs to the people of Georgia;
have no claim to it myself, and do. not
know that they desiic me to be a candidate*
for that office,*but if they do, and should
make it known tlirougli their delegates in
convention assembled, am not aware of
any valid reason, at this time, why I
should not accept it. Very respectfully,
your obedieut servant,
Hiram Warner.
The venerable chief justice would make
a model Governor.
—Lord Ripon, according to Mr. La-
bouchcrc, has determined to raise the
tone of the Vice-regal Court in India by
announcing that in no case will.he kiss
the ladies who honor his court with their
presence. Whether the ladies will regard
this as a gain or loss Mr. Labouchcre is in
doubt.
Mr. Eaton took the floor at five o’clock,
but not wishing to begin speaking at so
late an hour, yielded to Mr. Voorhees,
who introduced a private bill, after the
passage of which the Seuate adjourned.
In the House, Mr. Cobb, of Indiana'
from the appropriations committee,report-
ed hack the general deficiency appropria
tion bill, and it was referred to committee
of the whole.
The House then resumed the consider
ation of the sundry civil appropriation
hill upon which the pending question was
an amendment increasing from §275,000
to $300,000 the appropriation for a survey
of the Atlantic and Gulf coast. The
amendment was adopted by a vote of 88
to 81. About fifty pairs were announced
on this vote.
The amendment striking out the appro
priation of §100,000 to enable the secre
tary of the treasury to provide suitable
accommodation for the storage of coin
was adopted by a vote of 90 to 71.
The next amendment was that of
Mr. Downey, of Wyoming, directing
sums appropriated by this bill to be paid
in lawful silver coin of the United
States.
Mr. Buckner, of Missouri, asked
unanimous consent to amend the
amendment so as to read, “standard gold
or silver coin.” Mr. Baker, of Iudiana,
objected to this as discriminating against
greenbacks. Downey’s amendment was
agreed to by 105 yeas to 58 nays.
The amendment increasing from §300,
000 to §400,000 the appropriation for £
survey of the public lands was rejected b)
73 yeas to 85 nays.
An amendment appropriating $650,000
for the pay of marshals and their general
deputies, except for services ol the latter
rendered at elections, was passed by 85 to
00.
Other amendments were then agreed to
and the bill passed—yeas 112; nays 53.
The negative vote was cast mainly by Re
publicans.
On the recommendation of the appro
priation committee some of the Senate
amendments to the legislative, executive
aud judiciary appropriation bill, which
was reported back by Mr. Atkins, of Ten
nessee, were concurred in, and others non-
concurred in.
Washington, June 1.—In the Senate,
Mr. Vance, from the select committee on
the exodus of negroes from Southern to
Northern States, submitted the report of
the majority of tiie committee, which was
ordered to be printed, together with the
testimony taken by the committee. Mr.
Windom announced that he would here
after submit the views of the minority.
In the House the morning hour was dis
pensed with. A discussion arose as to
the propriety of limiting the debate upon
the general deficiency appropriation bill
in committee of the whole.
Mr. Reagan, of Texas, desired to speak
upon the inter-State commerce hill, but a
great deal of opposition was manifested
by the Republican side.
The Speaker suggested that by unani
mous consent, after the disposition of the
deficiency bill, a debate of two hours
might be allowed in the House, one hour
to be occupied by Mr. Reagan and the
other by a Republican.
To this Mr. Fernando Wood objected,
stating that when the deficiency bill is
disposed of he would press the funding
bill for consideration. Finally, the House
at 11:50, went.into committee of the
whole, Sir. Whitthome in the chair, on
the deficiency hill, the debate being lim
ited to two hours.
Sir. Reagan proceeded to speak on tlia
subject of inter-Sta’e commerce, hut was
interrupted by Mr. Valentine, of Nebras
ka, who made the point of order that he
must adjust himself to the question under
consideration. It being evident,however,
that the chair would overrule the point he
withdrew.it, preferring that Mr. Reagan
should proceed by unanimous consent
than that he should do so by the vote on
the chair’s decision. Sir. Reagan then
spoke criticising the features of Sir. Hen
derson’s bill, and advocating the passage
of whai. is known as the Reagan bill.
In the Senate, Sir. Ransom, as per
previous notice, moved to postpone all
prior orders, and take up the river and har-
borappropriation bill.
Mr. Morgan hoped this bill wonld not
be taken up in the morning hour. It con
tained many appropriations of doubtful
public usefulness, and would lead to much
debate. It could not drop through ths
Senate as through the House by its own
weight, but would be thoroughly exam
ined. He was in charge of a bill affecting
the safety or the whole country in the
next election—a bill to enforce constitu
tional nroviaions relative to the election
of preHdent and vice president; and he
hoped the Senate would now consider that
bill, which could not pass at this session
unless it were considered speedily.
Mr. Ransom’s motion was agreed to—
yeas, 45; nays, 7; and the river and har
bor appropriation bill was thereupon
taken up.
Washington, June 1.—In the House,
at the conclusion of Mr. Reagan’s remarks
some further discussion ensued, when the
deficiency bill was read section by section,
for amendment. Mr. Bland, of Missouri,
moved to strike out the paragraph appro
priating $200,000, to enable the secretary
of the treasury to provide storage for
silver coin, and said the secretary of the
treasury had entered into an agreement
with the New York clearing house, by
wliich he refused to pay the
government balances iu silver coin.
The secretary, he said, had
not, and would not pay out silver coin,
except in such quautities, as not to disturb
the gold standard. He had asked Con
gress to hack him up, by appropriating for
the storage of coin. When the secretary
came confessing to the country and Con
gress that lie was violating the laws of the
land, and asked Congress to sustain liim
was time for the House to put a stop it.
Mr. Dwight, of New York, moved to
increase the appropriation from §20,000 to
§75,000. Rejected.
Mr. Bland finally withdrew his motion
to strike out the paragraph, and moved as
a substitute au amendment authorizing
the secretary of the treasury to relieve the
treasury vaults of hoarded silver by pay
ing in standard silver dollars the amounts
appropriated in the general deficiency bill,
and also appropriating §10,000 to provide
for the storage of so much coin as may be
returned to the treasury for silver certifi
cates.
Mr. Ewing, of Ohio, favored the amend-,
ment, and in his remarks asserted that
the secretary of the treasury did not want
the people to get silver certificates, and
justified the assertion by pointing to the
fact that in more than a year less than ten
million certificates had been issued, while
the amount of silver hoarded in the treas
ury was thirty-three millions.
Considerable discussion followed, which
was participated in by Messrs. Warner, of
Ohio, Kelley, of Pennsylvania, Cox, of
New York, and others, in which the sub
ject of the single and double standard, aud
the effect of the remonetization of silver
were discussed, when the committee,
without disposing of Mr. Bland’s amend
ment, rose.
Mr. King, of Louisiana, introduced a
resolution for the appointment of a com
mittee to investigate the expenditures of
the appropriations for the Red and Ou-
chita rivers for the last ten years. Re
ferred. Also, a resolution authorizing
the secretary of war to enter into con
tracts for keeping open the mouth of Red
river for ten years. Referred. The Senate
then adjourned.
In the Senate, the river and harbor hill
was taken up, and the bill was read for
action upon the committee’s amendments.
On motion of Mr. Withers, of Virginia,
the amendment reducing from §5,000 to
$3,500 the appropriation for improving
the harbor of Onancock, Virginia, was
disagreed to. The amendment striking
out the §10,000 appropriation for improv
ing Brunswick, Ga., harbor, was opposed
by Senators Brown and Hill, of Georgia.
The amendment was finally disagreed to.
The amendment increasing the appropria
tion from §40,000 to §70,0<X) for improving
Cape Fear river, N. C.; increasing the
appropriation from §15,000 to §45,000 for
improving Neuse river, North Carolina;
increasing appropriation from S3,000 to
$9,000 for Pamlico river, North Carolina,
and for striking out appropriations of §2,-
000 for Little Roanoke river and $2,000
for Tar river, North Carolina, were all
concurred in.
The amendment increasing Trent river,
N. C., appropriation from $5,000 to $10,-
000 was also concurred in. The amend
ment reducing from $250,000 to 200,000
the appropriation for improving the Mis
sissippi river between the mouths of the
Ohio and Illinois rivers was opposed by
Mr. Davis, of Illinois, and Mr. Vest, aud
was rejected.
Senator Vance, in behalf of the majori-
ity of the Senate exodus committee, to
day submitted a report which, after set
ting forth the amount of labor devoted to
the inquiry, and reporting that witnesses
had been examined from the States of
North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mis
sissippi, Louisiana, Texas, Missouri, Kan
sas and ludiaua, goes on to say: “We
think it clearly established, from the testi
mony, that the following may be said to
be the causes wliich which induced this
migration of colored people' from various
portions of the South to the Northern
States, chiefly Kansas and Indiana. The
exodus to Iudiana was undoubtedly in
duced, in a great degree, by Northern
politicians and negro leaders in tlieir em
ploy and in the employ of railroad lines.”
Particular examination into the condi
tion of the colored men in North Caro
lina, as disclosed by the testimony of both
whites and blacks, Republicans and Dem
ocrats, showed that the cause of discon
tent among the colored people could not
have arisen from any deprivation of their
political rights, or any hardship in tlieir
condition. ‘'Testimony taken showed the
average compensation for labor in that
State quite equal to or better than an av
erage in any Northern State to which the
negroes were going. The closest investi
gation could not show any violence upon
their private rights in North Carolina.
It was also shown that there existed
societies in Washington City and in Wes
tern cities to promote the exodus of every
member and friend of the societies, whose
object is purely political—being to re
move a sufficient number of blacks from
the South to where their votes could aid
in turniug the scales in close States in
favor of the Republican party.
The report next mentions the question
of wages and rents. The share system of
cultivating laud was inquired into in all
of the Southern States, and the fact as
certained that the rates of compensation
received by colored people were about as
liberal as in the North. With regard to
landlord and tenant laws of the various
Southern States, and the system, growing
out of them, adopted by many planters
of furnishing supplies to their tenants
and laborers, the committee find they were
urgently called for by the circumstances
in which the South found itself after the
war. The universal adoption of the home
stead and personal property exemption
laws deprived poor men of credit, and the
landlord class found its only protection in
the passage of these laws.
As to alleged extortions by landlords
and country merchants of the South who
furnished supplies to laborers and tenants
the committee admit they found that fre
quently bad men would take advantage
of the ignorance or necessities of negroes
and exact high prices, but assert that this
abuse is not at all general.
On the subject of mistreatment of
blacks in Southern courts of justice, the
committee say they have ascertained that
in many districts the courts were under
entire Republican control, and that gen
erally there were as many complaints
from such districts as from districts uuder
the control of Democratic officials. Taken
all together the complaints might be gen
erally found to be made by the ignorant
who fail to receive iu the courts what they
think is justice.
The educational advantages in the
South, the committee say, are insufficient,
aud are far inferior to those of most
Northern States, hut such as they are, the
same facilities are afforded to the blacks
os to the whites.
That their condition is gradually improv
ing in every respect, is really true.
(flashings, the committee say, between
the two races are neither to be denied nor
to be wondered at; but when we come to
consider the method in which these peo
ple were freed as the result of a bitter,
desolating and cruel war, and that for
purposes of party politicians, ignorant,
landless, homeless people, without any of
the ties of property or the obligations of
education, were suddenly thrown into
political power, and the effort was made
not only to place them upon an equality
with their late masters hut to absolutely
place them in front and hold them there
by legislation, by military violence
and by every other means that could
possibly be resorted to—when we con
sider these things, no philosophical mind
can behold their present condition and
the present comparative state of peace
and amity between the two races without
wonder that tlieir couditiou is as good as
it is.
The report is signed by Senators Yance,
Voorhees and Pendleton. Mr. Windom
gave notice that he would liereafer submit
a dissenting report in behalf of the Repub
lican minority.
Washington, June 1.—In the Senate
the amendment striking out an appropri
ation of SI,000 for improving Ashley river,
South Carolina, was opposed by Mr.
Butler and rejected. TLe amendment
reducing the appropriation for the bayou
Courtable in Louisiana. from §7,500 to
§5,000, was opposed by Mr. Jonas and re
jected. The amendment appropriating§20,-
000 for the Yaukin river in North Caro
lina, was adopted. The amendment
striking out the appropriation of §5,000
for Pagan creek in Virginia, was opposed
by Mr. Wit here and rejected. Same ac
tion was taken on the amendment strik
ing out the appropriation of §2,500 for
Mattapony river in Virginia. The
amendment increasing the appropriation
for the Waccomwa river in South Caro
lina from $9,000 to $1,000, was adopted.
The amendment striking out the appro
priation of $10,000 for French Broad
river, in Tennessee, was opposed by Mr.
Bailey and rejected.
The amendment striking out the appro-
the proportion that the amount therein
specified for each work of improvement,
shall bear to the sum of $3,150,000.
Mr. Morgan spoke at length in support
of liis amendment, and in opposition to
the unrestrained expenditure of public
money ou local works. He wanted to see
this bill passed, * but he wanted to limit
the amount to a reasonable sum. This
his amendment would accomplish.
Mr. Bayard moved to amend by making
the amount $0,500,000. After considera
ble debate Mr. Bayard’s amendment was
rejected by 17 yeas to 33 nays.
After some further debate Mr. Morgan’s
amendment was rejected by IS yeas to
33 nays.
The bill was then reported to the Sen
ate, read the third time and passed by 36
yeas to 13 nays.
The president pro tern, laid before
the Senate a communication from
the secretary of the treasury,
recommending an appropriation oi $150,000
for light house board,- for lighting the
Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio rivers,
instead of §130,000. Referred. Also, a
communication from the secretary of war,
recommending an appropriation of §400,-
000, to continue payments to the laud
grant railroad companies, under the act of
March 3, 1S70. Referred. The Senate
then adjourned.
In the House, Mr. Warner offered the
following substitute for the original para
graph and it was agreed to: To enable
the secretary of the treasury to provide
more secure, and if needed, an additional
vault-room for coin and bullion, §20,000.
Mr. Chittenden, of New York, re
marked that the gold coin and bullion in
the treasury had in three months fallen
short to the extent of SIS,000,000. It was
being hoarded by the people because it
was more valuable than silver and it
would be exported for the same reason
until our only coiu cuirency would be de
preciated silver.
Mr. Buckner thought there was no dan
ger of silver driving gold out for along
while yet.
The amendments were adopted appro
priating $30,000 for maps and illustrations
j of the geological survey, and §7,500 for
detecting violators of revenue laws.

With regard to the political outrages,
which the committee say have formed the
staple of complaint for ma.iy years against
the people of the South, they find nothing
now. Many old stories are renewed by
zealous witnesses, few of whom venture
to say that any considerable violence or
outrage had been exhibited toward the
colored people in the South within the
past few years, aud still fewer of those
who testified on this subject testified to
anything happening within their own
knowledge. Their evidence, with rare
exceptions, was all hearsay.
In conclusion, the committee expresses
a positive opinion that the condition of
the colored people of the South is not
only as good as could have reasonably
been expected, but is better than if large
communities had been transferred to
colder or more densely populated regions,
thus throwing them into competition
with a different system of labor, and
while a gradual migration might benefit
the individual black mau and liis family as
it does those of whites, the committee
ment striking out the appropriation of
§10,090 for the Clinch river, in Tennessee,
was opposed by Mr. Bailey and rejected!
The amendment increasing from §12,000
to §20,000 the appropriation for the Sa
vannah river above Augusta, was adopted,
The amendment appropriating S30,-
000 for improving the entrance to
Cumberland sound, Florida and Georgia,
was adopted. The amendment appropri-
ting $75,000 for reservoirs at head waters of
Mississippi river was adopted. The
amendment striking out the clause
requiring all works under this
bill to be let by contract to the
lowest responsible bidder was adopted
and an amendment making it optiona l
with the secretary of war te contract when
he thinks it advisable, was adopted.
After opposition by Messrs. Vest and
McPherson, and advocacy by Messrs,
Hereford, Burnside, and Jones, of Florida^
amendments approving surveys at the
following points were adopted: For ice
harbor at St. Louis; for opening ship ca
nal across Charleston Neck, S. C.; for
Bocuf river, La.; for opening of steamboat
communication from St. Johns river, Fla.,
by way of Topokaligo Land to Charlotte
Harbor or Perse Creek, and for Pacesen
river, N. C.
All committie amendments being dis
posed of, Mr. Butler moved to insert apro-
vision to survey and determine the feasi
bility of connecting the headwaters of the
Savannah river with the Tennessee and
Hiawassee rivers.
Mr. Morgan moved to increase the ap
propriation for improving Mobile harbor
from §125,000 to §200,000, and spoke in
support of the amendment, urging the im
portance of that harbor not. only to Ala
bama, but to the whole country.
Mr. Withers said he hoped ^Senators
would stand by the bill as reported, and
not let it be loaded down with amend
ments."
On motion of Mr. Ransom, the amend
ment was laid on the table.
Mr. Brown moved to increase the ap
propriation for the improvement of the
Savannah harbor, from §65,000 to $100,-
000. He spoke of the advantage of that
harbor to the whole country, as affording a
new outlet for Western produce, and ap
pealed to Senators from all sections to
join in the efforts of Georgia to build up
nourishing commercial, manufacturing,
agricultural and mining industries. Mr.
Brown’s fust speech was listened to with
marked attcutiou.
Mr. Blaine said the Senator fr^m Geor
gia had convinced him of the justice of
his amendment, and he should vote for
it.
Mr. Beck spoke against the bill as
whole, saying the Democrats were making
a poor showing for economy by appropri
ating between §9,000,000 and §10,000,000
when the department only estimated for
§5,000,000. He favbrcd improving great
harbors, and might vote for Mr. Brown’s
amendment, but the bill in other direc
tions was essentially bad and invited cor
ruption. Pending debate, at 6 p. m., the
Senate adjourned.
Washington, June 2.—In the House,
the morning hour was dispensed with.
The House, at 11:20, went into committee
of the whole, Mr. Whittliorne in the
chair, on the general deficiency appropria
tion bill, the pending paragraph being the
clause appropriating §20,000 to enable the
secretary of the treasury to provide
storage for silver coin. To this was pend
ing, as a substitute, the amendment ottered
yesterday by Mr. Bland and amended by
Mr. Ilayes, directing the secretaty of the
treasury to pay, in standard silver dollars,
the amounts appropriated by this act; ap
propriating §10,000 for storing of so
much of said coin as may be returned to
the treasury for certificates issued there
for, and providing that the salaries of
members of Congreess shall be p-tid in
standard silver dollars.
Mr. Townsend offered an amendment
providing that all Federal salaries should
be paid in silver dollars. Rejected by 27
to 5S.
A large number of amendments were
offored and rejected, and Mr. Bland’s sub
stitute finally rejected by 12 to 57.
In the Senate, on motion-of Mr. Ran
som, and notwithstanding Mr. Morgan’s
appeal for the consideration of the calen
dar during the morning hour, all prior or
ders were postponed and the river and
harbor hill resumed.
Washington, June 2.—In the Senate,
the pending question was on Mr. Brown’s
amendment to increase the appropriation
for improving the Savannah, Ga., harbor
from §65,000 to $100,000.
Mr. Kernan spoke in opposition to the
bill.
Mr. Hill, of Georgia, said the justice of
his colleague’s amendment was generally
admitted. He hoped, therefore, that it
would not be rejected, mainly because it
was wrong in other respects. He hoped a
bill would be adopted confining appropri
ations in this bill to works of national
value, and that the President should be
authorized to veto parts of bills without
vetoing the whole bill.
Senator Brown submitted additional
remarks in support of his amendment.
H« thought the Senate could be trusted to
vote down improper amendments and
adopt proper ones.
Mr. Maxeysaid he sympathized with the
Senators from {Georgia, but feared that if
the bill should’become too heavily loaded
courts shall be used to pay general or
special deputy marshals for services ren
dered at elections. Rejected by 50 to 76.
Mr. Page, of California, moved to ap
propriate §7,000 to pay deputy marshals
lor election services in California last
September. Rejected.
An amendment was adopted appropria
ting $1 S3,000 to pay judgments of the
Court of Claims. An amendment appro
priating $10,000 for the relief of the fam
ily of a sa’lor who recently perished at
Aux Barques, Lake Huron, wliilS acting
under orders from the life saving service,
was adopted.
The committee then rose and reported
the hill to the House. The main question
was ordered and the House adjourned.
Washington, June 2.—The Senate
to-day confirmed the nomination of Hor
ace Maynard, of Tean., to be postmaster
general, vice David M. Key.
HOW WE WERE PARTED.
I am an elderly, grave man now, past
that feverish, hot turn of life when passion
holds sway in men’s hearts, but tiie time
was with me—as with all others—when
all the world seemed naught lacking the
sight of one woman’s smile, the sound of
one woman’s voice.
She loved me, too, and nothing seemed
able to destroy the prospect cf our mutual
happiness, since none could say us nay.
And yet 1 sit alone, forlorn, a sad, broken
hearted man, while she whom I love
sleeps in her silent grave, far, far away
from me. Let me recall the past once
more, and tell how it came that I am alone
in tills world.
I had just returned from my morning
round of professional visits, and was sit
ting in my study one bright June morn
ing, when a messenger sought me in great
haste to say that I had been sent for by a
lady who feared that her child was dying.
I lost no time iu hurrying to the address
given me—a small house in one of the
quietest of our Londou suburbs, the door
of which was opened by a young and very
beautiful woman.
“You are the doctor?” she said,
voice of wonderful sweetness.
1 bowed asseut.
“Then you must save my darling!” she
went on. “You mu3t—you must!”
I answered nothing, but drew nearer
and looked down upon the unconscious
form of the little sufferer,
He was a beautiful boy, scarce three
years of age, with deepest blue eyes, wide
open aud brilliant with fever, which had
also left its crimson stain upon each cheek,
in startling contrast with the marble
whiteness of the brow.
A few moments’ professional examina
tion convinced me that the child was be
yond the reach of professional skill, and
except to alleviate his sufferings, my ser
vices could avail nothing; hut how to tell
the mother ?
“You can save him, doctor?”
The question was an appeal. I would
have given all I possessed in that moment
to have taken her hand iu mine aud an
swered “Yes;” but I dared not palter with
the truth.
“I will do all that I can,” I answered,
it is but little.”
“He will die, you mean ?” she gasped
out.
“He shall at least die in peace,” I re
plied.
“lie shall not, must not die!” she
whined. “Oh, heaven, spare him to me 1
Spare me my hoy!” she prayed again,
sinking on her knees and clasping her
arms about the little form.
An hour later we unlonsened the cling
ing touch from the then soulless clay, and
bore her senseless to her bed. She knew
nothing for days, not even when we laid
the baby in liis spotless coffin and bore
him to the graveyard.
When she first recovered consciousness
was beside her. She looked down at her
anus; they were empty. She glanced
about the room; it was silent.
“Why did you save me,” she cried,
“when you could not save for me all that
made life sweet?”
But when she grewcaimer and stronger
she thanked me for my care—thanked me
so humbly, that I felt I would far rather
bear her reproaches.
Her child had been dead six months
when I began to understand my heart’s
secret, and to learn why 1 still continued
the visits no longer professionally re
quired.
One evening as I entered her room I
noticed a slight shade of embarrassment
in her manner.
“Doctor,” she said, “you have never
sent me your bill.”
"It is very large,” I answered gravely.
"That does not matter,” she replied.
“I may not have the entire sum necessary
at my command—I am not a rich woman
—but iu tune I promise to pay it all.”
“I must have immediate payment,” 1
answered. “I cannot but be satisfied with
the whole.”
ncr face paled.
“The amount?” she questioned.
But I could no Ion eer wear my mask.
“Yourself, my darling! 'With this, and
this only, will 1 be content. Youtold me
the life I helped to restore was valueless
to you. This is the only payment I will
have. Tell me, dearest, will you give it
to me?”
“You have asked me nothing of my
“Because he has come back! He is
here! He claims me /”
And with a low cry she fell fainting to
the floor.
I lifted her in my arms and laid her
upon a couch, aud at last!
restoring her to consciousness
hear the whole miserable story.
She had married, when she was hut j per bbl., §8.00; choice §7.30; extra'family

his teuderest care and devotion; though,
injustice to the man, it must be said that
he was ignorant of tills fact.
About a year after her child was born v
and they were supported by her own toil
and the scanty remnant of her . fortune,
which she had retained in her own pos
session. When the baby was three
inonllis old tiie rumor, seemingly sub
stantiated, reached her of her husband’s
death.
This afternoon, sitting in her room
thinking of me and the new life soon to
begin for us both a knock had come to the
door. She sprang eagerly to open it, think
ing it was mine, when, instead, her hus
band stood upon the threshold!
He had returned, repentant and success
ful, exultant aiul with the thought of the
happy future which might yet be in store
for him. At her feet he prayed for for
giveness, until, fearful I would come, she
roused from the stony apathy into which
she had fallen.
I was mad. I forgot reason and honor.
I asked wliat were this man’s claims upon
her compared to mine. I entreated her by
ali she held sacred to be mine—mine as
she already was in the eyes of heaven
But, thank God—even I can say it now—
my darling was true to herself, true to
me, true to the little dead child, true to
the repentant man who had returned
to her.
It was a whirlwind which shook to
the foundation both our souls, but she
was the stronger of the two—stronger in
her own pure .womanhood—and so she
conquered.
When we parted that night, we knew
was to be forever, and so it proved—I nev
er saw her again. For five years she lived
a true wife to tiie man who sought vainly
to atone, then her heart broke. Just be
fore her death she sent me, on a slip of
paper, these words:
“God will not part us in heaven!”
No more—no word of love. But that
sentence brought full comfort to me.
look at it every night before I go to rest,
each morning ere I seek my daily toil
and know that some day I shall be re
warded, that some day I shall meet my
love above.

After considerable debate, Mr. Brown’s
amendment was rejected—yeas 10, nays
28. It was generally admitted that the
amendment was & just, proper and neces

be agreed to, other amendments would
also nave to be passed, aud the bill would
be so loaded down that it would fail en

And soitly her little hand stole into
mine, and I knew that I had gained my
treasure. Her mother-heart was empty,
robbed and despoiled. Perhaps it was for
this reason it turned to me for the com

At last our wedding day was fixed,
when one evening, as I was preparing to
go to her, I heard a hurried knock at the
door, and ere-I could reach it, it was
thrown open; and Elaanor, white and
breathless, entered my room.
A dread sense of some calamity came
over me as I looked upon her.
“My • darling,” I said, hastening to her
side, “what has brought yott here ?”

cold voice, “that I mav never be \o tr
