The Republicans of Elkbgrt county met . in convention at Goshen, on® Saturday last, and placed the following ticket in nomination : i rlegresentatiVe —E. B. Myers, Washington township. |/ e s Auditor-—A. M. Tucker, Concord twp. V Treasurer—W. H. Venamon, Goshen, Clerk—Joseph D. Arnold, Goshen. - Recorder—John G. Kay, Goshen. ; ' Sheriff—Thomas Prickett, Benton twp. Surveyor—James R. McCord, Goshen. (Jotd:;er—Wm. Waugh, Goshen. Commissioners—Alford P: Wright, of York twp.; Peach C. Messick, of Goshen, and _}«)l‘;glna D. Irwin, of Benton twp. It ‘will be noticed that out of the eleven candidates nominated, six are ‘from the city of (Goshen. . | . -+ Before the convention proceeded to the ' nomination of candidates, Charley Mur-. . ray offered a series of “retrenehment and reform’! resolutions, the adoption of which he urged with his accustomed éarnestnes:s. ; The bly political foxes who were fully cognizant of Charley’s intentions, insisted npon ' referring the resolutions to a committee, of which their author was to be a member. The plausible arguments of ~ Messrs, Woods and Shuey had such a "soothing effect upon Charley that he gracefally yielded to their superior knowl: ~edge of procedure-in such cases, and with amazing avidity took the bait that had been so carefully prepared for his capture. 1 Exiled into the Auditor’s office, Charley " plead eloquently for retrenchment and re- ., form’ beforé his committee, whilst the * ring-lenders consummated their plans in convention. The committee on resolutigns finally agreed to report Charley’s platform, some¢what modified; to tlie con-

vention; but when he afipeared on the platform, the managers politeily informed thé chairman that it would be very im‘politic to act upon his report before the nominations were all made, as the people were quite anxious to finish that business. Of cougse, Charley could not resist so plausible ap objection—and the “ring” achieved vigtory No. 2. ; : When the nominations were all made, and the crowd save dbout twenty persons had dispersed, thes resolutions were read. The vote on their adoption was then put, and, gecording to Mr. Woods' statement, six voted for, and about the same number against the resolutions!: The platform, thus adopted, has no binding force, and victory No. 3 was recorded for the “ring.’ The- ticket by no means gives entire satisfaction, aud the nominees themselves fully realize the fact that Jordan will be a hard road to travel néxt October. “ We will again refer to this subject at an enﬁ.y day. P L bt A B — ' What it Means. i Thq Booneville E’nquire7' furnishes an additionsl answer to' the query: * what does the ill-fate of democratic papers before nominating conventions mean )~ That"paper replies as follows : _* It means for you to contiriue on in your good''work of laying before the -people, each successive week, one of the best pa ‘pers in the State, and in common with other Democratic editors, battle for the lestoration of the democratic party to power, and thereby maintaining the supremacy of 'white men in a white man’s country. Then, Mr. Stoll; you will receive your reward, which we trust will be'at ho distant day. i " Oux_excellent friends of the Anquirer have slightly misapprehended the import of our reference to this matter. The brief 'paraghph which elicited this response was not penned with a view of indicating dissatisfaction at the result of the Bth of Janudry convention, but merely to call attention to the somewhat remarkable fact that in almost every case where democratic editors were candidates for nemination their aspirations met. with ill success. As for ourselves, we mean to-devote our entire

| energies to the advocacy of democratic | principles, with less regard for our personal advancement than the promotion of our " country's welfare. g - - — 4 /A Sigun of the Times. The Republicans in the Fourth Con¢ressional District.of North Carolina have nominated a negro by the name of Harris | for the next Congress. . In aspeechaccept- | ing./the nomination he said: J “My election or defeat depends upon | the action of the white Republicans in ¢ this district. If their professions are true, | . and they make no distinction in regard " to color, and support me unanimously, my . election is sure, .This case will bea test one, and the colored people of this distriet will look on with interest to see whether or no: the professions of white Republicans are carried out when they are brought to a test.” 4 ; , How long will it be before radical agi- " tators will demand the nomination of a negra far President or Vice President ? Is it not ’hfigh time to put a stop to this " pegro.mania by rolling up immense dem“octatic majorities? ‘ e | A Tardy Act of Justice. < . On Baturday the lower House of Con- | gress finally passed & long-deferred act of justice in the shape of a bill giving sol--diersi'and sailors who served three con:, secutive months in the war of 1812, and | . who.are now in indigent and dependent " circumstances, a pension of $8 a month,— .

e e—— . .A-QUESTION POR THE POOR. - ! The telegraph informs us that Hon: Thomas A. Hendricks delivered an able speech a% a democratic mass meeting at Vincennes, Ind., .on Saturdsy last. Fe reviewed the National and St§‘ affalrs in connection with the claims ofthe rad ical party for continuanee in power, and demonstrated that it was incapable of administering the government wisely or wcll. “Mr. Hendricks took the position that the Fifteenth amendment, the invest-ing-of negroes with- political equality, if maintained as the poliey ofthe country, must result in social equality—that the one pecessarily followed the other. :In commenting upon Mr. Sumner’s last bill, Mr. Hendricks said :

“His stronger will has so often govern. ed against the wish of his party followers, that I look for the adoption of his most extreme measurcs, unless the peo?le forbid it at the elections. ‘' There will be in_convenience from the unrestrained mingling without distinction of color at all public places and in all public conveyanceg, but the greater hurt to be apprehended will be to the public schools. The free echaols, well conducted, bring blessings to all the people, but especially to the poor. When the white and black children are crowded ' into the same free schools, the wealthy may provide for the education of their children in select schools, but the poor must lovk to the public schools, or allow their children to go without education. Thus, from childhood up, the line will be drawn in society between the children of the rich on the one hand, and of the poor and the negroes or the other. What will compensate ns for so great an evil?, Isitawrong to the colored race that geparate schools be provided for its children, where they may be prepared, as far as possible, for the duties that rest upon them ? The séntiments of the- democracy upon the relafions of the two races have not and do apt rest upon the feelings of hostility toward the col ored race,’ but upon a well-established conviction that their union is unnatural, and cannot promote the harmony of socicty, the stability of its institutions, or the elevation of either, but will bring evil to both.” :

Will honest Republicans hesitate longer /to array themselves against the party that ‘offers this new injustice against the white laboring men of the North? Is there to pe no end to this infamous legislation against the white race? (Can adhesion to party so thoroughly blind. people that they will quietly submit to this' the most infamous of all the infamies yet devised by Sumner? Or will they indicate a spirit -of manhood by forever hurling this detestable party from power ? G et ey The, Wool Trade, ~ For the benefit of our farming commug nity who are interested in the wool trade, we publish the following letter from the most extensive wool commission merchants in/ the city of New York. Their vast experience in the trade, and their extensive knowledge of the subject alluded to, enables thewn to furnish the most reliable information. The perusal of the subjoined letter will give our farmers a correct idea of the wool market : T . NEw York, May 25th, 1870. MEessrs, STRAUS &MEAGHER, Ligonier, Indiana. ’ iie Qentlemen :—Your favor of the 23d is at hand and we have noted contents. We shall take pleasure in writing to you once a week during the season, and will try to give you a correct status of our market. We have had a number of letters from -different parts of the country, Ohio, Indiana, ‘Michigan, &c.,, and they generally say that the clip will be about the same s last year. A few speak of a falling off, and some others of a slight increase. We do not think it will vary much. The new’clip from California is coming in, and from present prospects will be large; also the Texas cli{). Foreign wools, in England, are at present se low that they can be imYorted, pay duties and sell relatively as low as our domestic wools. : :

During the past year wool operations have %‘oved very unsatisfactory as a general thing. Those large manufacturing corporations who. bought wool in the country last year, have lost money and say they shall confine their purchases to the Eastern markets. .

- 'The prosg:ct for woolen goods does not seem to be very cheerful, as, although there is a good amount of business doing, the prices obtained Are not at all remunerative, ‘ e

These facts lead us to feel that wools are likely to sell low this season. At the safne time we are confident that if discretion and judgment are used, there will be an opportunity to purchase with a profitable margin, and the prospects of a com:tortable money market throughout the summer ought 'to make business a little more active. |° P

From present indications and from ins formation we get from the West, wools ought: to be bou%bt at 8¢ @ 36¢. for good lots;.egettinidfu_ 1 deductions on all unwashed and -half-washed fleeces. * The long stapled combing and de laine wools will not sell as well as last year by several cents per pound. Very Truly, ;- WALTER BrowN & SoN. e — -—— 4 A Demoralized Party. The crushing blow dealt radicalism in New York on the 17th ult., is keenly felt by the leaders of that partyin every quarter. In speaking of the result the New York Sun says: ; " The’ republican party in this city and State are completely demoralized ; and if it cannot be' radically reorganized, it might as well be disbanded. Tlts present forlorn' condition is due in great J)art tor the utter failure of the 'mg,ional administration to redeem the (fle ges wherewith it obtained rnwer, ‘and in part to the incapacity and corruption of its local leaders. ! 2 o

From the very start Gencral Grant’s administration was a heavy -load upon the party in New York, and the burden has been growing more intolerable with every month that has elapsed since he took the oath of office. He has shownan utter lack of statesmanship in dealing with the great questions which have come before him ; while his want: of all tact in the choice of his confidants, and in the distribution of bis patronage in the State of New York, proves that he is incapable of rising to the level cf a politician even of ordinary importance. { The New York Standard, in announcing the defeat, remarks; = . ‘ - “The re&t:blican leaders have sqtiandered away thejr power in New York Staté. This is the meaning ot the recent election, and the party might as well look it squarely in the face.” et ‘ln commenting on the canse of the defeat, and the means of saving the party front further disasters, the Standard says: “There is but. one way to do it. The men who led the party into disaster must be removed from command. The' party needs a leader. < If'it is willing fo fight like a flock of sheep, it must expect even more disistrous results,” . : : ._._._.__...‘..__._.:..__ vt ' A cowarpLy and maliciously false fling against 15&@5:1 .gmocrmc editors in the fdrth path SF XN AR ove faes ’fﬁ&k’lj}‘%bﬁhf’ O&:c thr -, s W’iﬁ E “”.A; SRy Sinuations of mﬂ _utterly desti: ttte of tfuth, sod in branding the puthor a 8 an onmitigated lar, 0

I Of the famous Fenian raid upon Cans da we condense the: following particulars from the lengthy and._ contradictory dis- ; (%thajg-ﬂh it ti en?:uv:qe pouringinto the bor rlgns n all parts of the East, West, and South. There are ' two points of rendezvous, Bt. Albans, Vt., ‘and Milwaukee. The Eastern expedition ‘crossed the line, and troops eame down from Montreal to meet it. The movement “in'the 'West is towards the Red River counitry and is'in command of veteran oﬁicem President Grant promptly issued a proclamation warning all persons from joining in the ill_egtﬁl military enterprise now on foot against a friendly power.

Dispatches of the 25th announced the arrest of the Fenian chieftain, Gen. O’ Neiil, by U. S. authorities, who was plased in jail at Burlington, Vt. His troops are demoralized if not disbanded, and the last Fenian invasion of Canada is graphically if not Jacc?urately described in the telegraphic dispatches as a huge “fizzle.” Gen. O'Neill appears to have sub mitted to his captors very quietly. The preparations for a very sharp and interesting' campaign were made on both sides. Canada, although taken unawares, was making up imhaste for her surprise. Her people were badly scared, but very determined, and would donbtless have fought well. The Fenians were in high glee; “the wrongs of fifty years” were in the breasts of the men who fought at Fontenoy, but the w;ﬂ'i'mge" of some dozen fifties were in the Lreasts of the men who faced death at Pigeon Hill; and who met it without a chance of a square fight. Great satisfaction is felt in England at the President's proelamation, and equal dissatisfac tion is felt'in Washington. The!Fenians met the “enemy” in two or threé places, but no important results were secured. Unfortunately, a few were killed. With a captured leader, a dissenting Senite, an enemy in the front, 8 “neutral” power in the rear, the bravery of the Fénians can hardly prevent this expedition from turning out a complete and disheartening /- aseo. !

Thursdays dispatches.—Though defeated in the first onset and disheartened by the capture ot their chief, the bold FenJans have not yet given up the project of sweeping over tHe Dominion of Canada and reducing it to the sway of the Irish republic. The situation on the-border last night was substantially this: The movement upon Canada by the way of St. Albans is abandoned. A large force of Fenians is concentrating at Maloné, and all troops arriving at St. Albans are hurried on to that place. A council of Fenian officers have chosen General Sam Spear to lead his forlorn hope.- The United States troops are on the move; they are pusling north from. Boston and east from Sackett’s Harbor. Generals Meade and McDowell, and staff, left last night for the border. They both'tidiculed the idea that there is anything serious in the Fenian movement. ' In Canada there is much excitement, and no- little boasting over the “glorious victory” near Pigeon Hill, in which not a: Canadian washurt. Two more skirmishes occurred after that reported yesterday, and in one of them the Fenian General Doni]e_lly was mortally wounded. Troops, both British regulars and “Canadiati’ volunteers, are peuring down from Montreal and Toronto to the border. In England the Fenian raid is generally commented upon the press.. The promptitude of Pres't Grant in issuing the proclamation elicits praise, but the London Z7umes savagely calls on the Canadians to raise the black flag, and spare noae of the “marauders.” In government circles in Washington the whole affair is looked upon as a device of the Fenian leaders to tickle more money out of the rank and file of the Irish laboring population of thiscountry. Nous verrons. Fridays Dispatches — The Fenians fought another engagement on Canada soil, and were defeated, A party of them, commanded by General Starr, took a position north of Malone, and three miles from Trout River, where they were attacked by the Sixty-ninth Rifles from Montrealzand a regiment of volunteers, all under cgwmand of Colonel Bagot. A tew shots only were fired by the Fenians, when they were seized with a panic and fled, leaving one of their comrades a prisoner. They fell back across the line into the United States, where they remained during the night in a badly demoralized condition. O’Neill expects to be released from jail ; he is savagely denounced by his late fol lowers. General Meade is at St. Albans, together with fresh reinforcements of United States troops. The Fenian General Gleason has held a council of war with General Spear, and the telegraph says they have resolved on a “real movement.” Gleason declares that he will have another fight if he has to fight the Yankees. " Meanwhile, we hear of more Fenian recruits being hurried to the front. The “situation” may be briefly summed up in the following: All /the Fenian leaders have bcen arrested by the U. S authorities; the rank and. flle are sadly demoralized and anxious to be transported. to their respective homes; the leaders are vigorously denounced by their betrayed followers ; Canada is safe, and Fenianism has met with a reverse from which it can scarcely recover.

A LITTLE ?on: EQUALITY. . The irrepressible Sumner is about to| ‘continue the African ‘eampaign by . a bill supplex’nent’qu to the Civil Rig Act, which he has just introduced in_the United State Semate, It seemsy _says the Harrisburg Patriot, hat weshall ' nmever get done with the everlasting ne_gro. Sumner’s bill provides that no dis_tinction shall be made on account of; race .or color on any railroad car stearboat or other_public mnyexqpee, in hot_eﬂ. theatres and houses of pyblic entertainment, in common schools tm\gjutitutiona of learnirig authorized by law, church institutions and cemetery instituti ps incorporated by nationsl or State authority, on juries, in the courts. It subjects any one violating or inciting to violation of its provisions, to a fine of $5OO, to be paid to the person aggrieved, and a turther fine ($5OO or $l,1000 according to the gravamen of the offense) and imprisonment, Corporations violating the pro‘visions of the act shall forfeit their charters. Having forced the negro upon usas a voter, Sumaer and his satellites are determined that we shall go to school with him, travel with him, eat with him, sleep with him, and die and be buried with him. This is a free country, with the slight exception that a white man is not to be permitted to choose his company in hotels, on railroad cars, in churches, nor even in the grave yard, if 8 negro insists on being by his side. There are to be no separate cars, no special‘berths on steam- | boats, no district schools, no isolated lots in cemeteries. for the African. Of course this bill will pass. The “progress of the age” (which, being translated into plain English, means the tendency of the nation toward the infernal) demands it. The “loyal men”. of the country will not be safe until it becomes a law. It isto be the crowning work of the great and glorious “republican” party, the cap-stone of the wonderous edifice built up with the bones, cemented with the blood and paid for by the sweat of the American people. Who can doubt that it will not take its place cn the national statute book ? We opine, however, that after a!! there is a little selfishness in Sumner’s motive in this matter. The editor of the Easton Argus, while in Washington recently, found on Pennsylvania’ Avenue the following interesting document : _ Mistab Sumnah : my dere chawls:’ - Kum 'roun dis evenir. at ate o’klock. Hirum’s goin’to wurmlee’s to ete rose possum! derest lub, du kum to ure

: feckshunate dinah Revels. Whether this paper is genuine, or merely an inventién of Mr. Sumner’s enemies to injure ' his reputation for chastity, we do not venture to say. -But it is said that “Hirum” i¢ awfully jealous’ of the Massa chusetts Senator and that Sumner is quite’ proud of'the mention made of bim in Washingtn gossip as having a liaison with the beautiful and sweet smelling Dinab. "Our own opinion. woyld be decidedly in favor of the theory that the ;missive above copied is spurious, -were it ‘not that the bill introduced in the Senate by Mr. Sumner, to which we have just referred, gives color to the presumption of itg genuineness. Those who are posteéd in the on dits of Wa hington society, declare that it is the generally received opinion in that ¢ity that Sumner means to abolish by law sll distinctions on account of race or color, in theatres, hotels npdrailroads, in order that he may enjoy with less restraint, the spciety of his saddle-col-ored dulcinea when “Hirum” goes to “wurmlee’s to ete rose possum.” As for the schools, they are included in the same category with theatres, hotels, railroads, etc.,, because “Chawls” has an eye to the future. We give this statement for what it 1s worth. But if this is not the true theory of'this latest “measure” of the Massachusetts Senator, it must be that he is either a lunatic ori a knave, and his friends, admirers and followers may determiné which, ‘ il - GP— The Farmers and the Monopelists. Whenever complain's are made by our Western consumers, that hlankets, clothing and articles for apparel are unreasonably high, the monopolists forthwith throw a certain ‘wool tariff euzq:t at: their beads, and assert that the imposed high duty on foreign wool was the means of saving the farmer from destruction ; and, that the high price of blankets, for instance, is fglly : __(iqmpensated to the farmer by the equivalent high price he receives for his wool. g . We will now show, by ﬁgnres and facts, that these assertions are false—that the farmer is shamefully deceived and cheated, and that the })roﬁt is all one-sided, and for the benefit of the Eastern high tariff mon‘opolists. : ] The following were the prices, in Cincicnati, for wool, during the years 1860 and 1869 restpectively; and also the whole. sale prices of woolen blankets during those two periods; : o PRICES OF WOOL AND BLANKETS, ’ aeso. 1869, Wool, %b100d.‘%}b....,........ 48 8.45 Merino fleece, b oesee s v SO4 oD 50 Merin0pu11ed,%m.............. B 0 45 10-4 fing blankets, weighing 6 Ibs, 4.20 6.00 ‘Now, let it be well understood that, during 1860, the farmers' wool was not protected, and foreign blankets were subject to a duty of 15 per cent. Our farmers, by sellli'ng 5014 pounds of Merino pulled wool, in 1830. could buy exactly six pairs of 'six-pound 104 blankets, and have five cents’ worth of wool left, In 1869, when the farmer sold 5014 ‘s, ‘of merino pulled wool, he received $22.72, and trying to buy 104 six fpoun,d blankets he could buy only a fraction more than 33{ pairs; or, in otber words, he would have to put his hands into his pocket and pull out $18.2714, in addition to the 5014 pounds of woel, to get six pairs of 10-¢4. six-pound blankets, which ‘the 5024 pounds of wool alose procured for him'in 1860. e E

Now we agk our farmers (it is no use to ask the monopolists) why the highly favored and protected wool, in 1869, cannot buy, by: ﬂRy per cent,, the same amount of woolen blankets that it could do in 60, .when 'wool was comparatively free? Is not tbe farmer deceived and cheated when he has been tricked into a bargain which enables the blanket-maker to deliver: to him 8%/ paits of blankets. for 501¢ Ibs, of wool, in 1869, ‘whereas, 1n 1860, hé had' to deliver 6 pairsof blankets for the same pay? The truth is. that a so-ealled protective tariff is to the farmer’s produce a wicked sham, while: Eastera: monopolists .alone are richly fattened by it,—an example of which we bave_fivgn in the above. +—Chicago Post (Republican). = - Tue PoPULAW RESORT.— Oné’ of the ‘nicest and moit: orderly saloons in otr ‘eighboring city, Goshen, is that of A.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. TurspAY, May 24 __The Scnaée- was engaged over the bill for tlie saleof the ‘Osage Indian Reservation and the A ppropristion bills. In the House, Mr. Lynch's bill to revive American navigation was amended in many particulars, but the House refused to put the bill on its passage by a vote of 75 to 65, which is supposed to be u test of itsstrength. An animated debate was had on the foreign policy of the. administration, in which that policy was generally denounced from b6th' sides of the House. . Mr. Voorhees characterized the head of the State Department as a dead man, and Mr. Cox said that Grant’s administration bas run its foreign policy in the interests of land jobbers, San Domingo jobbers, railroad jobbers, steamship jobbers, ‘and jobbery in. general. Mr. Banks said that the Committee on Foreign Relations were ready to bring to the notice of the House the outrages committed by ‘the Spaniards in Cuba on American citizens. ' v

~ 'WEDNESDAY, May 25.—The Senate resumed the consideration of the bill reported by the conference committee to enforce the fifteenth amendment. Mr. -Bayard made an excellent and cpmpai:t argument against . the bill, pointing out that it grasped the whole machinery of the State elections, and, while discriminating in favor of the negro, utterly failed to say one word for the naturalized white citizens who, in Rhode Island, are shut out from the ballot. Mr. Saulsbury followed "Mr. Bayard; when Mr. Stewart wound up the regular ‘debate with a specimen of Boanerges eloquence against the democratic party. Mr. Sherman took advantage of an interregnum of five minutes before the hour of voting to repeat the very bitter observations he had flung out the other day at the Democratic party. His words were extreme, but they were mild in contrast with his manner, which indicated fierceness wound up to the highest pitch by 3he great Democratic triumph in New Yérk. The vote was then taken, and the report of the conference committee sustained by a strict party vote, as all bad expected it would be. In the House, theold contest over the Northern Pacific Railroad was unexpectedly revived to-day. Mr. Cox- stated that for ten years he had voted against all these land grant railroads, and should vote against, this; but he expresscd his contempt for the opposi‘tion against this bill that arose from ‘the interest felt in rival lines. The feature of interest was when the House proceeded to vote. A test question at once arose on an amendment to restrict the company in the sales of t.heu,lahds to actual settlers at $2.50 ‘per acre. This was rejected, by some cighteen votes. The amendment that followed it was likewise rejected, and pending a vote on the others the House adjourned. These votes indicate very clearly that the. company has triumphed, and that its bill; allowing it to mortgage the road and issue its bonds thereon, will pass. ' ;

. TuurspaY, May 26.—The Senate devoted almost the entire session to the consideration of the Appropriation bill. The proceedings in the House of Representatives were important. The Northern Pacific Railroad bill, which has been so stoutly combatted by the opponents of the land-grabbing lobby, was tuken up and passed by a vote of 107 to 85. The members voting in the negative werc mostly Democrats. The bill to enforce the fifteenth amendments, as agreed upon by the Conference Committee, was reported and an attempt was made to force its pass. age. The Democrats having shown an intention to fillibuster, the majority consentefl to permit debate the following day, and so the bill went over. Mr. Lyndh's bill te revive American shipping was debated, and the Weslern members were defeated In_an effort to lay.it on the table. L e o e

FripAY, May 27.—1 n the Senate the Appropriation bill was under consideration. The amendment placing female clerks in the departments on an equality with males in the tzmttg‘r of compensation was adopted— 36 to 20 The amendment appropriating money for the extension-of the capitol grounds brought up the question of the removal of the seat of government tothe West. Mr, Yates made a speech in favor of building the new Capitol on the banks of the Mississippi. Mr. Carpenterargued for Milwaukee, but other Western Senators were satisfied with Washington, the salubrity of which was praised by Mr. Drake. The amendment was adopted, and the malcontents defeat. ed by a vote of 42 to 10 The amendment appropriating $lOO,OOO to the expedition to the North Pole was adopted. The amendment increasing the salaries of Unitied States Judges was further amend - ed and passed.” The Chief-Justice of the Supreme Court is to get $lO,OOO ; Associate Justices $8,000; Circuit Judges $7,500. The House of Representatives opened its session with the -outrage of voting into a seat the carpet-bagger Wallace, who was defeated in the Fourth Congressional Distriet of South Carolina by over 4,000 majority. The Democrats protested, but of course without avail. The bill'to enforce the fiftcenth amendment, as reported from the Conference Committee was taken up, and a spirited debate followed. Mr. Kerr (Dem.). denounced it .as “vicious;: lawless, and revolutionary.” Mr. Potter insisted that it was designed to interfere with ‘the New York elections, and Mr. Johnson said that one of its motives was to foreé ‘the ‘odious Chinese suffrage on the People of the Pacific coast. 'An interesting passage between Messrs. Cox and Brooks on one si,d:::gvﬂenton and Noah Davis on the other enabled the Democratic represoptatives to defend the metropolis agoinst tho slanders, of its politicaliagemies.
