following are extracts from tho dis
course:
Lilies and Gentlemen: I rejoice
very much, this evening, to feel • •
free to express to you sentiments
which, if presented in otlier lands,
would, I fear, excite a great deal <>i
prejudice for themselves; but we ar.
iu oue of the greatest countries ol
the world, and where meu can freel\
and fully express their ideas. L-tu
reason together u,>u one of tile in >*
important subjects of the lime. Tlie e
are more than live hue ired million
of ieo|>l*‘ who have never heard the
name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now
according to your scriptures, wh n is
to be done with all these: 1 Is it p.issi
ble for a great an i merciful Oil t..
care for one portion of tne human
family ami neglect tile otlier.' I c .ul
see nothing reasonable or just in
God’s sending three-fourths of the
human lace to hell for no other rea
son than the difference between thei;
holiest convictions and those
of the rest of men. Gid ha
given to the various nations a way t"
salvation tilting their respective |>e
culiar needs. A prevalent idea in
this country lamat a loss to know
how it originated—is, that the Bunn
ese and Chinese have no prop
er idea of a Supreme
Being. Why, before Germ my or
France or England knew the art of
civil living when their people were
clad like the wild Indians of the Wes
—then China und Hindoostan were
as highly civilized as they am to-day.
They knew tho art of printing, and
thousands of years ago some of the
most useful instruments of modern
times were invented by them. Is ii
possible that such people could bow
down to wood and stone, and no
know the difference betweeu the Cre
ator and His creatures ? I admit we
have images. I lately saw au intelli
gent gentleman kneel before a cross
I did not disturb him, knowing that
he was communing with his God.
When he arose I asked: "Why do you
kneel to a cross of wood instead of to
God ?” He told tne that that cross
represented the sufferings of the
Bird Jesus Christ, and recalled to
him the whole Bible; he did not rev
erence the wood as wood, but as a
sacred memorial. In our temples we
have images to remind us of God’s
greatness and the more readily to in
spire fear und humility in our
hearts. We, like you, have the
Ten Commandments of Go 1 ;
but we have not your first command
ment, because the Chinese, unlike
tbe Jews to whom vours was given
on Sinai, never fell into idolatry.
Aud yet the Jews were in direct com
munication with God. Here are ours:
First, thou shalt not kill the small
est creature; second, thou shall not
steal; third, thou shalt not infringe
the laws of chastity: fourth, thou
shalt. not lie; tifth. thou shalt not
calmninate: sixth, thou shalt, riot re
venge injuries; seventh, thou shall
not excite quarrels; eighth, honor
thy father aud mother; ninth, tire
serve faith in the Holy Writings;
tenth, believe in immortality. The
golden rule of Confucius is the same
as thegreatChristian commandment,
except, like everything else in China,
which is on the opposite side of the
earth, you know, it reads backward,
thus: “Whatsoever you would that
men should not do to you, do you not
to them.” The Christian religion
would not take in China; neither
would Confucianism in this country—
especially our rule: “Grieve not be
cause thou art not promoted to high
offices.” You live in order to do
well; we live in order to lire well,
loving our fellow man, practicing
morality, never thinking of death
till the hour comes, and when it does
come, if our lives have been good,
we are iirejiared.
People believe the Chinese O ivern
ment tne most tyrannical in the
world; that tho Einiieror has sole
control over the lives of his subjects.
It la not so. The Emperor cannot
break ourlaws, and they protect the
natural rights of ull men. If, after a
rule of three years, the head of a city
d.ies not improve his [km,pie in mor
ality aud intelligence, he cannot be
promoted, and if a School teacher
during the same period, make a sim
ilar failure with nis nupils, he loses
his ixisition. In China we n-ver
knew slavery until of late years when
Bpain, Portugal aDd Itajv carried off
our coolies and itttle children to sell
them in the West Indies and else
where. Trane back the history of
China for' four thousand years, and

teaming is so highly regarded in
Hina that a man with a blue but on

i making this distinction we obey
loiifucius, who says we should associ

unedogruded to their rank. The
treat doctor also says; “Let the pub

uni let children be early instructeo

oour bodies, so we believe, oursehool
eachers give birili to souls. Many

on, moral principle is religion. L’o

vVnat is iCliristiau? It I understand,
it is to he like Christ. Christ was a
'oo 1 man a man without sin—t lien

Tim. The Bu 1-luist law, "i’uou
shalt love the Lord thy God with till
liy strength and all thy mind; with
thy whole heart aud thy whole soul
iitd thyt neighbor as thyself,” is also
the Christian law.
The speaker censured the I’resby
erian article of faith which exeln It-s
from hope of salvation till who are
tot Christians. Let those who cen
sure us study our religion and mo
rals, tttid their faults aud show them
to ns. It reason prove them rigln
and us wrong, we will concede; hut,

You cannot help admiring that gretn

A MESSAGE OS SOUTHERN AFFAIRS.
Washington, Dec. 13, midnight.
I’he message which the President
will shortly send to Congress on
•Southern affairs, will relate in a
greater part to tlie late troubles in
Mississippi and tho mode of conduct
ing elections in that State, the ittfor
■nation having been gathered by per

THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
Col. L imar presided at the Dem
ocratic caucus to-day. Banuiug, oi
Onio, and Robbins, of North Caroli
na, were Secretaries.
Mr. Waddell, of North Carolina,
offered resolutions for the appoint
ment, by the Chairmau, of u Demo
cratic Executive Committee, to eou
sist of three Senators, six Represen
tatives and luree citizens of the Dis
trict ot Columbia.
Mr. Cox, ot New York, offered tt
tesoiuiiou providing for the ap
pointment, by the Cuairtuatt, of a
committee of eleven members, to
suggest to the caucus, at a tu< urc day
meeting, such line ot policy, or ac
tion, ou public measures as would
oesi serve lue interests of the coun
try. Tuese resolutions, after debate,
were severally agreed to.
There was a harmony of views with
regard to the duty of the majority ot
ihe House. All agreed that they
should, as far us possible, effect u
reduction of taxation, and that the
ti iverntneut should bo houestly and
economically administered. Much
responsibility devolved upon the ma
jority of the House, although the
senate Wits not politically iu accord
with them. The country desired the
stoppage of corruption and wasteful
expenditures, and the Democracy
could not expect the people to sluttd
by them unless they stood by the
people.
No business, apart from that above
mentioned, was considered, aud the
caucus, after remaining in session an
hour aud a liulf, adjourned.
SUPREME COURT
The Chief Justice announced that
the Supreme Court would adjourn
from Friday next to the third ot Juu
uary.
Judge Bradley's decision in the
Giaud Patish cases will almost cer
aittly be sustained when the opinion

this suit was consol brought, aud

Mr. Davis introduced a bill making

On motion of Mr. ClaytOD, tbe At-

The Chair laid before the Senate

the improvement of the Southwest
ttissof the Mississippi river.
The tnotiou submitted by Mr. West
tulhorizitig the withdrawel from the
die of tho Senate of L. McMillan as
Senator from Louisiana was taken
up. Mr. Suulsbury said he did
not know that he had anyobjee
>iou to this withdrawal, but he would
like to know tlie reason, as it seent
rather novel proceeding.
Mr. Thurman Btlid it appeared to
him as a matter of no consequence
whatever whether the credentials
were withdrawn or not; MuM.linn's
action and the acceptance of his resig
nation by Gov. McEuery, puts hint
entirely out of the question. But. his
action Itad and could have no effect
on the ease of Mr. Piuohbuck.
Mr. Merriraou thought it just to
refer tlie matter to tlie Committee on
Privileges and Elections.
Mr. Morton did not cure whether
these credentials were withdrawn or
not.
They were a more sham, as there
never was any such thing as a Mc-
Euery Legislature or a McEuery Gov
ernment. The credentials amounted
to uothing, whether laid upon the
table, under tho fable, or any where
else.
Mr. Stevenson agreed with Mr.
Morton, that it did not mattei
whether or not the credentials were
withdrawn, but he dissented front
the opinion of that Senator about the
McEuery Government. A Republi
can committee of this body hail de
clared the Kellogg Government the
greatest sham and fraud that had
over disgraced a free Government.
