TiVe pro u repeal the.e laws, he said, was said by mi perposai tlielr opponent to be an attempt axainstthe pure elections, an endeavor by the Confederate m.?iiifrn 10 aiueia tiHuu.-eive.t in their The laws originated in the Union League dab, aad wer passed for party purposes, and not at all for tne protection of freedmt n, In 1878 there were Supervisors ot Election appointed under these laws, of which I.7T9 were appointed In the State of Xew York nearlyonn.half of the whole number. There were ll.Sie Marshals, more than one-fourth of tbemtR Xew York. Tnemaln point is where did the money xo? In that yenr there was expended fi-5,l.K. How much was expend ed to protect the poor f reedman down in the country where the Xlxht Raider, the White Leaguer, and the Ku Klux oppress him? In the Southern States there waa emended fW.71S.es, and In the other States $7,3se was uiAuurpeu ; mat is to nay, aoottt one-hLxtli oi tne money went t- the South awl llve-atxths e the North. That is the way the freedmen were protected. They made the South Rive the imhto the rlxht to vote, but when it came to using the money of the United States, for every dollar they gave to protect mm inej- spent x to corrupt elections at tne North and to deprive naenot their right to YtM mere. The Senator from Xew York (Mr.Conkllng) bad carefully enumerated thedllTereut varietlesof Thugs, ehonhler-hitters, and roughs which formed part of Ills constituency. If New York City were raked from Harlem to tnt KaatflrV It wlst van fun faMl (m 4 a I t v. w.uai sua tro itunu ill at, J wote etof mentban the Deputy Marshals selected In 1S7S and 1S7S to execute these law. Of the HST.iSO spent in the Xorth In lii;$l5$,ie-be!ngmore than one half was !entto .ew ork Jstate. The roughs of adjacent States did not Hke to see their brethren in Xew York getting all the money, so, to paclty them, some was cent out of thatState; 5S7,(W went to ennylvania. That was enough, because the local managers ot the Miaciune in rmiadelphla knew how to man re elections perfectly, and did not seed any help from Federal Supervisors to secure the election ot Republicans. But Jftl.WS was epent in Pennsylvania to satlsly the clamor of the roughs. Then they paid some attention to Baltimore, ami sent $lijm to Maryland. Jersey City was a iwetty Important town, and got si2,27t-not much, but It lti-lned to pacify the brethtcn. So these four State Xew York, Pennsylvania, Xew Jersey, and Maryland absorbed $S17, ol the leavlnx ?,9.o for the wther testates. In ISTrf there were 11 Snpervteor. of whleh I.HSJ were in .New York aad l.Si In 1'ennsytvanla, leaving only l.OSJ tor all the other States. Of the 4,7 marshals, more than half were In Xew York-. Tne expenditure were fiK 711.2;, of which only 51S.S11 went South. The jra-lns of the Republican party In Xew York, Xew Jersey, nnd Pennsylvania will show why this nwney was spent In the Xorth. In one Mngle oleetioa II Hepre-entatives were gained, and, irifalarly enouxh, the greatest gain was where the most money was aiient. Mr. Randolph here a.ked leave toatate that tne Jersey City dMiict whfehhadfor many previous f-eloiis elected a Hemocratlc Kepresentative in Congress by from J.eai to ".WO maiotitv. wan now renreent-d bv a RefmblicHti, and most ot the money mentioned y Mr. Thtirman as going to Jersey City had been spent In that district.

In this manner lanee democratic inajorttie were destroyed in eer tain district. If the Democrats were to ob tain power March I, ISeil. and tnere were such a bleMsinxaoa Democratic President, the Ko pttblkans would clamor lor the repeal of thee laws more loudly than they now do ajralnst it. Mr. Thtirman said it wouhl snrprlMt some to learn I tow Mr. Davenport had feathered bis own nest. Without speaking ot the S.WS artt la vita at Id cents each which he undo ou against people for fale registrat. 1 dx! montha lHfora they of lered to register, he would refer to other ev hJencea ot his corruption, becaaee it was rtxht that this man should be held up to eternal infamy.

It Is a well known fast that tb.eeblaek will not gp into the country for regular farm work, but prefer to eke out a precarious existence in tae city. As a necessary consequence, crime is largely increased, and the courts are crowded with prosecutions for larceny, burglary, murder, assault and Infanticide, which last crime has become shockingly common. More than this, the death rate of the colored population at the capital Is nearly double that of the white, though hospitals aad charities for their benent are liberally provided by Congress. This condition of things exists, right under the eyes of Mr.Windem and other philanthropic men who have Instigated the exodus from the South, as a means of helping the despeate llepublleaa eause, by holding it up as a proof of their charges ef oppression of the negro. Since the close of the civil war the blank man has beea the victim of Republican political managers.

And now, without preparation or prevision of any kind, they are tempted to leave the homes or their childhood aad the labor to which they are accustomed, under the persuasion of getting land for nothing, and opportunities to better their condition. Credulous aad Ignorant, former experience in deception counts for nothing with them. Carried away by a sudden impulse and delusion, they do not stop to seek information, or to count the cost of aa adventure whleh Is likely to be followed by the most serious consequences for all who have embarked in It. Thousands will suffer from this cruel imposture immediately, and in the end ether thousands will become indirect victims ef a partisan scheme, diseulsed as a movement of philanthropy.

This Is a Government of civil authority, founded on the Constitution and the laws made in pursuance thereof. One ot the grievance of which eur forefathers complained, was that the king had quartered troops oh them and sought by military power to eoeree them Into tmbmtaefon. It is little less than a public scandal, after a century of national existence, that any party eould venture to ask the people's approval of a species of tyranny that la forbidden la i.nK'Hnti ana wnerever eise tne parliamentary principle Is respected.
