Henry Ward Beecher’s discourse at Plymouth church regarding his recent trip throughout the country attracts much attention, bpeaklng of tbe colored peoplo, he said: "The theory of religion is that atl men wero botn equal, but as humanity is now, prudeuce and wisdom indicates that social equality should not be enforced, aud that men should grow into tho relationships that are necessary. We do uot feel bound to associate with every nation that sends us emigrants here. We let them work their way up by solid merit into our respect, aud then there U no difficulty. WHITE AND BLACK. I would not force a school to take black children in with white children if snch action would cause eltherof them to be uncomfortable. Time will set tle this question. One thing is certain, an inferior race will never stand alongside of a superior race, aud the road of the colored people up to social equality is tbe road of talent, virtue, Intelligence aud religion, and they are traveling on that road, and tbe future will take care of Itself. Tho decis ion of the supreme court, which is regarded •« ad verse to the lights of the colored people of the south, in a matter of very great excitement on their told them that I thougnt that ou the wbc would work lu tho end to be to the.r vantage. They are no longer maintained in their rights by tho band of tne government They stand now committed to tbe kindness aud the generosity of th-«e aroun l them, and just m far aa they earn resptctablllty they will rise, in spite of tbe want of that protection wblcb was supposed to be guaran teed tothixn by tne constitution Of the United Btates I believe in tbe stock; 1 believe in their future; I believe tbwy will achieve liberty and re spectability, and as much social equality aa is good for them or for us.

CARLISLE NOMINATED HE SCORBS A MAJORITY OVRR ALL ON THK FIR-.T BALLOT. Tbe Georgia Msmbirt.

Washington, December 1,—The fight Is over. Mr. Randall saw his defeat certain this afternoon, and in conversation with The Constitution rep resentative said: "I havo made the fight on principle, and if I loss, all right. If the party takes a wrong policy into the house this tession, I will do the best I can, but I am not responsible for it" The Georgia delegation voted on the final test nine for Carlisle and one fer Randall, Rich- oils b»log the only Randall vote, ft seems that Carlisle's friends were frightened early to-day by the strength of the management Randall was showing, and resolved to force a viva toco ballot. THK VIVA YOCE BULK. Whea Mr Dorsheimer, of New York, ro» in tho caucus and proposed this rule, John Klcholls, of Georgia, quickly offered an amendment to allow the old rule of a ballot vote. This was defeated, of course, for every effort of Sunset Cox from the first has been to defeat Randall whenever It camo to an issue betw< cn him aud Carlisle, The scene at tho capltol was exciting beyond description. Despite all the claims of the Carlisle men money was freely offered on Randall up to themeetiug of the oaucui. Nobody except members, ox-members and accredi ted correspondents were allowed to enter the capl toL As the caucus would decide ou one after an other of the candidates, the cheers iuWdo would be caught up iu the corridors and carried to the echo. Just as soon as it was known that Carlisle was elected Randall stepped out of his quarters, in tho ways and means committee room,aud sent for Cox to escort Carlisle Into the canons. His foce was wreathed in smiles, and no man ever appeared better in defeat. As he passed through tho dense crowd of ex-members aud correspondents theie was one unanimous expression of admiration for hlmss a man, aud many who had beon against him were ready to admit that no man in tho party deserved better of it than he. REPUBLICAN JUBILATION. Republican correspondents are Jubilant over his defeat,aud declare that the election of Carlisle seals New York to their party next year Randall speaks to-night in the kludest terms of tho south, and says he trusts we will all pull together aud win next year. The Georgia delegation voted solid for Atkins for clerk, and Fields for doorkeeper,both of whom were defeated. They were all in caucm, but Hammond, who is still unable to leave the'hotel, but much better. THE MONET LOST AND WON. Nobody knows how muehmouey was won and lost to-night, Captain Brady, owner of the Critic, is out ten thousand on Randall, Joe Rlcksty of St, Loula, haa won twenty fire thousand, but half of it Is said to have been bet for other parties. General Pierce Young is reported to havo won *500, besides nu- merous other bets. There is very little bad feeling to-night, considering how excited the contest has been, but tho advooatoj of Randall still think his defeat wits a serious party mistake. After watening the maneuvers lu tho corridors of the capltol to-‘ night, l am convinced that tho south Is solid on tho interest of a very uuaulmous party. THE BEPUBLICAN CAUCUS. j The houso republican caucus met to-day at 2 p. m., Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, lu tho choir.. Iplwnj hvjilou to nominate a candidate Tor speaker was made, Mr. Phelps, of New Jehey, moved to lay 'that motion on the table. Mr. Phelps’ motion re ceived only one vote—his own. Kvlfer aud all the oldofficers wero renominated, excepting the.post- master. Deputy Postmaster MoCrain was nomi nated to bo postmaster. .F. H. R. THD ACTION OF T Htt CAUCUS. again thanking you for what you have already done, I shall say no more.” THE NEW SPEAK EE. John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky, is the strongest man in debate qpon tho democratic side. He Is an orator and a logician, Mr. Carlisle is a later comer in congress than either Mr. Randall or Mr. Cox and speedily pnt himself at the front of parliamentary debaters. Mr. Carlisle has uot yet reached fifty, and has been in congress but three terms. Tho first oongrosi ho devoted himself apparently to becoming familiar with the mothods and usages of the body and ho was very little heard of. In tho second session his notable ability as a lawyer, and his skill as a delator; soon brought him into promlueuce. It wassgoedlly dl.se/ivered that he was * political student, aud that, when he rose to spesk he rose because ho bad something to say, aud knew how to say it- In spe^chi*s upon consituiloual law he showed great familiarity with his country's history, and soon toot the leadership lu discussion* ol that sort from Mr. Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, who at a political doctrinaire generally rose whenever any old-time debate was threatened, with tke constitution on his shoulders. Carlisle's A ROM*NO« m RBaL LIFEC. rhe UlatsiT Of Us Itab; *hal Was Found o*;Hr tlarrlMa’o Varaadab. | The Constitution is euabled to preseut "to iu readers this morning a romance in real life that is as complete In all its details as one could deslro. One Sunday nlgnt lu March last about eight o'clock there was a vigorous ring at the door bell of the residence of Mr. James P. Harrison. When tho ring waaanswored there was found ou the verandah what appeared to be a basket of clothes, but no one was in sight. The basket was taken luto the bouse, and au examination of its conteuu showed that within the folds of the warm clothes mailed a pbetty girl baby. Of course Mr. Harrison aud Mrs. Harrison were taken by surprise at the visit of the young stranger but iu helpless condition at once enllaied their sympathies, and they proceeded to give the child »uch care as was necessary. It was found that tbe baby was under the lufluunoe of some drug, doubt less administered to keep tbe little one from crj * Dr. Gray, who lived a snort distance from the denneof Mr. Harrison, was sent tor and atteuded to the wants of the baby, aud iu two or three hours !i was all right. As Mr. klarrlsou did uot care to f.iuud an orphan asylum he turned the baby over to captain Criin, of the police fore*, and that officer carried her to the Ivy street hospital, where it was taken lu charge by tbe matron. THE BABY NAKED. Mr. J. J. Toon, woo exercises a fatherly care over the inmates, was charm » i with, the pretty faca o the little st-anger from the .realm of mystery, A number of ladies called to see the baby and sev eral were so carried away that they offered to giv it a home aud a uame Mr. Toon finally redded to name the baby "Centreline Ivy," iu honor of tbe imiitulion—the Central Ivy street hospital. After two weeks the baby was given to a beuevo lent lady who adopted It, but the child soon sick ened and died, bhe was • esc<1 bed as a lovely lit tle girl, and the ladles who saw her foigot the pos sibilities of her btrtb In their admiration of her soft cheeks and » sv little dimples WBuSEBABY Was ITT One day soon after me baby was sent to tbe hos pital, there appeared at the do >r an old lady who a>ked admlwloa to tke warm predneu of the cheerful institution. She was properly sccredlted aud was admlped fibe at once maulf^su-d au in terestln tbe baby and soon admitted thatsbe k ew cf it* history, bhe said tuat her name was Fearsou and that »he was the grand mother of tbe child and bad with her own bauds placed itou the veiaudah ••f Mr. HairtMMj’shou»e.

Tne girl was the old woman's daughter and was tbe mother of tbe baby, wblcb was the re suit of au unholy alliance between the young dreumaker and o car T. Waters, a cotton buyer, i he old woman stated that Waters bad threatened :o til thechild, a:.d thatsbe bad taken itout aud left It ou the varandsb of Mr. Harrison's house. A t tbe time, however, she did not know who lived in the blackness THE DEVELOPMENTS. In the midst of tbe young girl's distress Mr. Toon got hold of Waters and endeavored to get him to marry tbe girl, but be »aid that he was not ready. It developed that Waters had once carried the girl wlih him to Charlotte, where he liv*-d, and that there be had introduced her as his wife, and had, in that way, gio»»iy Imposed on bis fsmily. That occurred b fore the child was born. All efforts to get Waters to mske reparation were fralin ■« and the girl, after three months. Mi the h**pliAl aud nothlig more was heard of her therefor several moot ha. A fow days ago Waters turned no at tbt hospital and asked for the girl. He was told that she w«i not thete. but was informed t»h?re she could probably oe found. He went to the puce designated, but-he girl bad gone to Union FoiuL Waters followed her •nd now (ooti the story that he has married her. If helusaiid he treats her well be will be doing her au act of tong delayed Justice. At least It win so as far as be can lowaid reparation for the wrong he has done the pretty dressmaker. being unwilling to accnrd^hem atl opportunity to reply. His speeches from that time upoti constltutloual aud political questions aud the tariff have formed a sort of text book for young democratic orators. Mr. Carlisle has corns to be regarded as a safe pilot for bln party in time of storm, and ns the tnau to be put forward to copo with the great republican leaders. Mr. Carlisle Is about six feet high, with a slight stoop iu his shoulders, and abo lms his face tnooth tinven. Ho drewcsln black, cut In the old conventional stylo, and generally wears it black: ilk hat, which is seldom brushed.
