Mr. Allen, of Michigan, iuquired whether
he shouhl deduce from the remark that the

ticket?
t Mr. OTerrall replied that no such deduc
tion could he made. The more u colored
man knew the more inrliued he was to vote
the Democratic ticket.
Mr. Allen suggested that preachers knew
more than layuien and that they advised
their peo si e to vote the Republican ticket.
Mr. O’Per rail replied that the gentleman
did not understand the condition of ntlairs
down South. All the leaders the coiorcd
people hud there—white or colored—were
office seekers, and that was why they were
Republicans. They overawed ’ the colored
people.
IP FKKEDOM MEANT LIBERTY
of thought, of action and of opinion, the col*
ored men of the South were as abject slaves
to the preachers as they had been the day
when Lincoln, with hesitating hand, signed
the emancipation proclamation; if freedom
meant the full rights of citizenship, then the
coiorcd men of the South, by domination of
members of their race, had been deprived of
the sweets of freedom. It was time that the
Demoeratfe party should t:iki* a stand and
sustain, support and uphold colored men in
their right to vote as they pleased. [Ap
plause.] There was a coiorcd man in the
employ of the House whose house had been
burned down by men of his own race because
he voted the Democratic ticket in Virginia.
Mr. Jy*rr,of Iowa, inquired where the gen
tleman learned that Lincoln signed the
emancipation proclamation with a hesitating
hand?
Mr. O’Ferrall replied that he learned it
from history. There was u painting on the

States that ha.l been in the rebellion, no fur
as lie knew, a Union soldier as a representa
tive in either branch of Congress elected by
Democratic votes. The Democratic party ill
these States never had laundered in sending
to Congress or electing as Governor a man
who had not served in the Confederate army
in some capacity. Thut had been the test
supreme. When he looked over the rolls
of the Senate and House and reflected how
few of tho«e who had served in the Union
army were found in the councils of the
nation, he was not surprised to witness such
demonstrations as were witnessed when pen
sion bills were up for action. Criticising the
statement of Seimtor Vest of 188.1, that of the
millions paid out in pensions, 000,000
had been contributed by the 8outh, he de
clared such a statement was a “glittering
generality.” He doubtcMl whether the $outn
nau **ctually contributed $290,000, ins ead of
$290,000,000. R.it oven if the south had paid
$290,000,000, it was very lucky It did not have
to pay the w hole of the pensions instead of
grumbling and complaining that it had paid
$290,000,000. It ought to be thankful that it
did not have to foat all the bill, as France
had to do after the Franco-Prussian war.
Senator Ingalls declared thut the move
ment for pensions was not going to stop un
til arrears of pensions were paid, until the
limititions were removed, until every pen
sioner was paid from the day of his disa
bility, or in case of minor from
the day of his father’s death and
his blood on Cemetery Heights at Gettys
burg, the Senator from Kansas, always be
hind iu the rear of array, was prosecuting
Kuusas Jay-hawkers for rifling henroosts.
[Laughter and applause.] Now what are
you to think of the arguments of the Sena
tor who will leave his seat as presiding of
ficer and come to the floor in illustration of
partisan zeal which, I am glad to say, has no
equal, attacking all decent people from the
President of ihe United States down?
One would say that he was a cynic, dis-
pising i laukuid, perhapn because he liad a
suspicion that mankind is not enamored of
him. Hut neither the President, nor sol
diers living or dead, Confederate or Federal,
except he accords with him in political con-
victious, is safe from his unjust and unfound
ed attacks. I do not want to be put in the po
sition of an opponent or enemy of pensioning
honest Federal soldiers. I have
NEVER OPPOSED PENSIONING
the men who have served in the Uuionar
my, and were incapacitated from supporting
themselves either by disease or wounds,and
1 do not know a Confederate who has done
so. The Senator tells us in whnt haste he
rushed to the eouclusion that no Democratic
constituency in the South bad uever elected
a Uniou soldier to either House of Congress.
I do not know that. It ia material to answer
that assertion, but there is not ao atom of
foundation in fact for the statement The
until every surviving soldier of the Union | State of Texas sent to Congress, term after
army was jdaccd on the pension rolls for | term, a distinguished Union soldier in the
service only. That was, he said, when it
was going to stop, and if the other side did
not like it, they might make the most of it.
Senator IngaU.n spoke an hour and a half.
REPLY Oaf SENATOR BLACKBURN.
Senat >r Ulackbum rose io reply and said,
after the confusion succeeding Senator In-
gall’s speech hod subsided, that he was at a
loss to account for the course of the Senator
from Kansas in dragging him into the tirade
in which he hadjust indulged. lie was sure
that he (Blackburn) had never boasted his
identification with the military service and
had uever referred to the fact of his having
been a Confederate soldier. Unlike the
Senator from Kansas, he (Ulackbum)
thought his military service too wodent and
too l uuible to prove a subject of interest to
the galleries* lie did not need to be told by
that Senator thut Kentucky lutd always
been loyal. That Senator knew that ne
(Blackburn) represented a constituency,
which had sent thtce men into, the Union
army for each man that Kansas sent, and it
was not without pride that he recalled the
fact that of thirty-odd States then in the
Union, Kentucky was the only State whieh
bad without a draft supplied more than iter
quota of men to both sides during the strug-

HOUSE OP UKfltKSKNTATIVES.
lleutcd Debate Over ttie Alabnnia Contest
—Majority He port Adopted
WaMiixuton, Mar^hC.—The Speaker pro
tern anumtneed the appointment of Mr. Ma
son of Illinois, as the member of the com
mittee on claims.
Mr. Thomas, of Illinois, introduced a bill
prohibiting the use of the likeness, portrait*,
or representation* of females for advertising
purposes without consent in writing,' which
wa* referred.
The Honse then resumed consideration of
the Alabama contested election cose of Mc
Duffie agalust Davidson.
After brief arguments by Mr. I.ytnan ol
Iowa, and Mr. Johnson nMutliana, in favor
ot the claims ol the contestant, Mr. O’Far
rell of Virginia, took the Door in support ol
the majority report. He ridiculed what he
eidled the claim* of the Republican party
that the negro vote ol the Bouth waa inva
riably cast for the nominees of that party.
This had been true in year* gone by when
the negroes of the South had been under the
domination of earpet-baggers who had con
vinced them that If the Democratic party
rame into power they would be relegated to
slavery. The negroes had learned that their
emancipation waa not the action of the Re
publican party but had been a war measure.
They hail learned that there had been
AH MANY DEMOCRATS AH KKPUBLIOANS
In the Union army, and that brave Demo
crats like ilaneork and Thomas had been
general officer* in that army. In 1884 a man
of destiny had arisen, one who knew no sec
tion, hut'took into hi* big national heart all
sections, extended the a-gi* of his protection
over North and South, oyer white and col
ored, without discrimination. This man had
been called to preside over the country and
make it a union, not only of lake* and
land*, hut of heart* and hand*. That year
would be enshrined in the history of the
itintrv a* the year when the embers pf civil
tiou proclamation by that great ami good
nmh vyhnse tragic death hits been a terrible
calamity to the whole country. The deep
thought thut there rested upon’ hi* feature*
THE ANXIETY ON HIS DltOW,
the unsmocth hair, told that fire wa* bunt
ing with a fervent glow within his brain
while the pen in hi* hand was hesitating to
sign the immortal name of Lincoln.
Mr. Bontelle, of Maine.—Does the gentle
man pretend to say that Lincoln, as por
trayed at that crucial period of liis .career,
when engaged in performing the grandest
duty, was hesitating? I tell the gentleman
that he was unfortunately situated to know
the history of his country at that time.
Mr. O’Ferrall—Such language as that,
coming from that gentleman who never
loses opportunity to use it, is not the lan
guage of a brave man. I have
always been taught it was cownrdly
to kick and cufTa fallen foe. They arc cow
ards only that do It—not brave men. [Ap
plause on the Democratic side.]
Iloutelle—Allow me to say—
Mr. O’Ferrall—I do not yield. You can
take your own time.
Mr. Iloutelle—I will take ng own time.
Mr. O’Ferrall—And I will take my time
after you.
Mr. Boutellc—That is the bravery to which
you nllude. [Applause on the Republican
side.]
Mr. O’Ferrall—Well, sir, It is the right
kind of bravery; you can bet your bottom
dollar on that.
Ilouk, of Tennessee, twitted Mr.
O’Ferrall upon the fact that notwithstanding
his assertion that Southern negroes voted the
Democratic ticket, the Democratic ‘majority
in Virginia had dwindled until it had almost
ceased to be, nu fi ol the Virginia delegation
tlte House the majority arc Republicans.

ami Ni< *‘-r*. M.H.rc, Hi l'|. ri-i.t, an-l .b.m--, <>!
Alabama and Wbceler, ot Alabama, in favor
of the claims of the sitting member, the dis
cussion was.
CLOSED BY MR. CRISP,
of Georgia, who touched upon the question
of the negro vote and declared that in the
South the vote was being cast for nomine**
of ths Democratic party. But for the mis
erable car|>et-baggera who went South to
prey upon its poverty-stricken people, there
would never have keen any division between
the people of tho 8outli and their former
slaves. But the colored people now know
tliat their interests were the same as those of
the white people among whom they lired
and they would no longer be mislead by
threats of Republican leader*.
The minority resolution, declaring Mr.
McDclilc entitled to the scat, wa* rejected,
yea*, 122; nava, 144; and the majority re*o-
lutioa declaring the sitting member entitled
to the seat wn* udopttd without a division.
Tbs House then adjourned.
BRADFORD,I’A.,March C.—About 11 o’clock
this morning a masked man named Kimball,
entered the Bradford National Bank with a
revolver in his hand und went midway be
tween the paying teller’s and the discount
clerk’s desks, nimbly jumped over the high
gloss partition and made a grab for the
tlte on the cashier’s desk. The sud-
denm .. tlte act paralyzed the clerks, but
Cashict '. aitinson rushed from his private
office and seized the robber. As he did so, he
received a ball from a revolver in the hands
<>f tlte villain over his left hip, going clear
through him mid coming out over the right
hip. Ho dropped to the floor and tlte rob
ber escaped at the front door witli the
money und rundown a side street.
The report of the revolver attracted a
crowd itad a number of citizens started in
pursuit. Kimball ran some distance, when
he turned on his pursuers nnd shot A. L.
Bleic-li, a butcher, in the abdomen, inflicting
dangerous wound. He then placed the
revolver to his own head mid fired. The
hall entered at tlte temple u,iu killed him in-
tantlv. The stolen n onev was found in an
inside pocket of a rubber coat which he
wore.
Tomlinson und Bleich are fatally hurt,and
can live but a few hours. Kimball was
about 28 years old, and was a former
employe of a produce firm. He was
recently injured on tlte Kric road near
Staniburg in an accident, and for which lie
said to have received several hundred dol
lars damages, since which time he has been
here drinking heavily. He was formerly a
real estate agent in Garden City, Kansas,
where his wife died, leaving two girls.
The whole city is greatly excited over the
tragic affitir. Tomlinson ha* a wile and
uhild and is held in great esteem.

law residing at LUbon, Dak., which re
bate* an incident which strikingly illus
trates the high degree of animal intelli
gence under the most trying circumstances.
Whin the terrible storm of Jsnusry 12tli
approached Lisbon with it* awful fury Mr.
Carter, who in a lawyer, wa* in hi* office
on tho opposite side of the street from
where his residence was located, and two
or three blocks down the thoroughfsre.
Upon peering into the street, presumably
will: the intention of starting upon his re
turn home, Mr. Carter wxs unable to Bee
bis own residence, and so mightily
did tho wind blow and so dense
was the fall of snow that buildings within
a few rod* were ohacured from tho vision
as perfectly a* though darkness reigned
over tho surrounding country. Finally
he thought lie could distinguish an object
near the middle of the road and u|K>n call
ing out his horse came rushing to his side.
Mr. Carter jumped on the faithful ani
mal's back, and putting his arms around
the horse's neck, was carried safely to the
doer of the barn adjoining the residence.
The intelligent equine Ind been blanketed
by the folks at the house and turned loose
for the pnrpcec- of bringing hi* master
safely home. When discovered by Mr.
Carter he was apparently making his way
to the office for the performance of hi* dif
ficult errand.

Two l-'muoun 1‘irmrs.
E. V. StmalU-y in March KL Nicholas.
In the early years of this century, when
there were slave insurrections in the West
Indies, and wars tor independence in
Mexico, Central America, and South
America, many people were driven from
their homes in these regions, and came to
New Orleans as a place of refuge. Among
them were two btothers, l’ierrc and Jean
Lafittc. They were Frenchmen bon in
Bayonne, but they had lived for several
yeurs in the West Inies. Both were tall,
handsome men; but Jean had th* stronger
character. For a lime, they carried outlie
trade of hlacksuiithing. T heir sl.op stood
on SL l’liilip street, between Bourbon ar.d
Dauphin. It was pulled down only a lew
years ago. Bold ami enterprising in dis
position, nnd of commanding presence, tliu
two brothers were fitted by nature to be
leaders of men. Jean, especially, was of
an appearance so striking that strangers,
meeting him on the streets turned for a
second look at him.
At first they were only the agents in
Kew Orleans for s'liupglers who brought
merchandise and slat ea into ihe bays and
bayous along the Louisiana coast; but it
was nut long before they became the
chiefs of the most powerful organization of
lawless men tliat ever exi ted in this
country. In 1810, they made their head
quarters on the islands at the entrance of
Die Bay of Barataria, where they built a
fort and a village. They obtained from
the republic ot Carthagenn, in South
America, then at war with Spain
for it* independence, letters of mnrque
which authorized them to capture Span
ish vessels wherever found. They
fitted out and armed fast-sailing schoonets,
which were the terror of the Gulf. Accord
ing to common belief at the time, these
vessels were pirates, which did not hesi
tate to pick up ayy merchant ship they
could overhaul, no matter what flag it
might carry; but the Lafittos denied thu ■
reports, and inaisted that they were honor
able privateersmen, only attack ...g the
ship* ot Spain, as, under the laws ot na
tions, their letters of marqi.r g-.vc them
the right to do. That they w-rc smugglers,
violating the law* of the United States,
they dia not deny.
In vain did Governor Claiborne i-sue
proclamations, commanding tho people of
Louisiana to ar,cst the Latitte* atitl their
men. Jean and l’ierrc came often to
New t trleaiis, and read the proclamations
posted on the wall* cl the chi government
building, on tho Place mix Amies. Once
there wa* an effiort made to arrest Jean, as
he was passing through a br'vott with a
boat-load of smuggled goods. A pn-ty of
custom house officer* attacked hint from
the shore. There wa* a fight, and Jean
and hi* crew beat off their a-* Haute.
Afterward, Jean sent a polite letter to the
captain of thecustom house force, iu which
he said: “I am a man of peace, und do not
want to fight; but I would have you to.
know that 1 am at all timea ready to ioac
my life rather than my goods.”

Savannah, March5.—Capt. W. J.Thomp
son, of the pilot boat O’Dell, at Port Rojal
yesterday, reports that on Sunday aftern oon
while three miles to eastward of Martin’s
Industry Lightship, he sighted a bark which
appeared to be bound into Port Royal nml
shortly after saw her gj ashore. lie went to
the assistance of the vessel and found that
she,was one mile southwest of Port Royal
breakers. Owing to a heavy sea, he could
not get near enough to put out his boat, but
he signalled the vessel to put out her boat
over the lee side, which was done, and the
O'Dell went as near the breakers as possible
and picked up the boat and eleven men. The
vessel proved to be the Melehoir Viderlich.
bound forSavannah. Aftergettingall aboard
the O’Ddell took them to Port Royal, as it was
impossible to get out aguin, owing to the
heavy sea on the bar. The sea when the
pilot left was breaking over the bar and
the crew reported six feet of water in her
hold, when they took to the boats. Thev
saved nothing but what they had on their
backs. Caiitain Thompson took the men te
the city ana had them provided for. The
wind wits blowing east north*east, and had
the pilot boat not been sighted, the entire
crew would have been lost, as the sea was
running very high.
The bark Melehoir Viderlich ia an Aus
trian vessel commanded by Captain Torneii
and sailed from Hull, England, Jan nary 7 f
for this port. She was loaded with pno*>
phate.
A Man of Many sweethearts.
From the New York Suti.
The sweethearts of Edgar Allan Poe are
dying off with frightful rapidity. At least
a score of them have been buried within
the last half dozen years. The last two
were natives of Richmond, Va. It isgrat~
ifving to know in this connection that
Washington’s body servants still hold
their own. No deaths in that little arm/
have been reported for several months.
From the Boston Post.
The prospccta for the postage of a bank
ruptcy hill at this tension are not brillianL
General Collins has consulted ifvernl
times with Senator Hoar as to the kind of
a hill which could lie carried through the
upper branch, but the Senator has not felt
justified in taking any action. Ilia defeat
in the last Congress had a sobering effect
upon him, and he realizes that tho senti
ment in the South and West is rather hos
tile than favorable to Federal legislation.
Whether a majority could be obtained in
the House, even \ e a bill could be or >ught
before .it. is doubtful. No canvas lias been
made, hut the** is no probability that a
two-thirds vote could be obtained’ to take-
a bill up for consideration. General Col
lins is willing to make the fight when he
is assured that it will be oi any use, and-
he has a bill which lie is rendy to present.
The sub-committee of the House judiciary
committee, in charge of the bill increasing
the salaries of district judges, ha* agreed
to repoil favorably to the committee. The
measure increases to $6,000 the salaries of
the judges for Massachusetta, Southern
New York and Illinois.
