His Career Began Earlier Than That of Any Memberof Either House. WENT TO CONGRESS IN 1849. Was Klectrd Governor of Tennessee 'I lire e 'limes He Served ou the Stalls of Noted Southern tienerals. Senator Isharn G. Harris, of Ten nessee, died at his residence in Wash ington, ou tlio sth, a few minutes be fore o'clock. Senator Harris was lust in the Senate chamber about teu days ego, but he was unable to stay for any length of time, and had to be taken home in a carriage. During the past six months the Senator has been able to uttend to his duties only at intervals, having been away from the city sev eia! times endeavoring to recuperate. Probably no man in public life had been nlentilied with more of the his tory of the country thuu had Senator Harris. 1 le had almost completed his T'.-th year, having been born in Febru ary, s!,s5 and lirst became a member of Congress in lst:. Hiscongressional career thus began earlier than that of any member of either House, antedat ing Senators Moi rill and Sherman by several years, and Hou. (ialusha A. Crow , now a member of the House from .Pennsylvania, by one year. Mr. Har ris, when he was elected to tho national House of Jlepieseiitatives, had already become u man of State reputation iu Tennessee, having the year previously served as special elector ou the Demo cratic ticket. Senator Harris represented tho ninth Tennessee district in Congress for the two terms ending in liS.W, w hen he de clined a renomination. Ho then moved to .Memphis, w here he has since resid ed. He was engaged in the practice of law until is:.;, with the interruption necessary to allow him to become a presi teutial elector in 1 h ;. He was three times iu success ou before the war elect ed Governor of his State, and was serving in that capacity when the war broke out. He took a pronounced stand for tho Southern Confederacy, and was know n as one of the Southern war Governors, 'ihe vicissitudes of conflict rendered a lrequent change of residence necessary, ami he was often with the army in tho lield. He attached himself at different times to the stall's of (ieneral Albert Sidney Johnston, Joseph 1',. Johiaton, Heaivr egard and Hragg. Alberts. Johnston fell from his horse into Senator Harris' arms, when ho received his death wound. After Lee's surrender Mr. Harris was oue of a small party of political refugees who escaped to .Mexico, goiug across country ou horselmck. Parson Prownlow, who had become the mili tary Governor of Tennessee, offered a large reward in a characteristically worded poster, for the capture of hts predecessor, but the Jatter remained absent from the country until his re turn w as safe. Ho remained in Mexico for several months, going thence to Enulaml, where he resided until ltir. when ho returned to Memphis and re- j sumed his practice of law. Mr. Harris was allowed to follow the pursuits of the private citizen until i'.r, when ho was elected to the I nited States Sen ate, defeating Hon. L. L. Haw kins, He publicau. He remained a member of the Senate ever since, and would have completed his -J;:th consecutive year in that body on tho -1th of next March, if he had lived to that date. He had been four tunes elected to tho Senate, the last time in is;t."i, aud his term would not have expired until 'M. He had re ceived almost all the honors the Senate could bestow. He was the President pro tern, during the Md Congress, a leading member of the committees on finance and rules, aud also of the Democratic advisory, or steoring com mittee. He has long been awarded by common consent the front place on both sides ot t lie chamber iu parlia mentary question, and in recent years he had been more frequently heard iu expounding these questions than iu the elucidation of other subjects. He was possessed ed a very positive manner, and never failed to throw into his statements concerning parliamentary practice tho fullest force of which ho w as capable. Senator Harris wis especially active in the Senate in the passage of the Wilson-Gorman tarill act iu 1 '.;!!. He was one of the I 'eitiocratic Senators i is t ri 8 -ed w ith the arduous duty of putting the bill in shape in committee, and to him was delegated the control of the par liamentary wink of getting the bill through the Somite. .Mth'-ugh then a man of advanced years, his energies never seemed to flag, fie was at his post of duty day and night. Senator I i arris was a native of Teu nesste. it is father was a planttf, w ho had emigrated to the State from North Carolina lie was admitted to the bat in Hit.

Cabinet, Supreme Court and diplomatic corps were invited, after which, as a further mark of respect to the memory of the deceased, the Senate adjourned. Ji'ly IOtii. The conferees on the tariff bill suspended their labors long enough to attend the funeral ceremon ies conducted over the remains of the late Senator Harris, but resolved before dispersing for this purpose to reassem ble immediately after the conclusion of the obsequies, and to continue their work not only tonight, but all day. The decision to sit ou Sunday vras not reached without some hesitation, but was decided upon as necessary to ex pedite the reiortiug of the biil. HOUSE.

The Wilson Anti-Trust Section Islte-I-nacted, and the Stamp Tax on Ilouds Added to the Hill. Washington, July ". (Special.) By the decisive vote of ai to the tarill bill was l.assed in the Senate shortly before 5 o'clock today. The culmina tion of the long and arduous struggle had excited the keenest interest, and the floor and galleries of the Senate chambers were crowtled by those anx ious to witness the closing scenes. Speaker Reed, Chairman Dingley and many of the members of the House of Cepre: cntatives were in the rear area, while every Beat in the galleries save those reserved for foreign representa tives was occupied. The early part of the day was spent on amendments of comparatively minor importance, the debate brandling into financial and anti-trust channels, liy i o'clock Senators began manifesting their impatience by calls of "vote" and soon thereafter the last amendment was disposed of and tho final vote began. There were many interruptions as pairs were arranged, and then at 4:55 the Vice President arose and announced the pas sagoof the bill, yeas Stf, nays 2b. There was no demonstration, but a few scat tered hand clappings were given as the crowds dispersed. The vote in detail follows: Yeas Allison, Raker, Burrows, Car ter, Clark, Cnllom, .Davis, Deboe, El kins, Fairbanks, Foraker, Gallinger, Rale, llanuu, 1 law ley, Jones of Ne vada, Lodge, Mc Bride, McEnery, Mc MillaD, Mantle, Mason, Morrill, Nelson, Penrose, Perkins, Piatt of Connecticut, Piatt of New York, 1 ritchard, Proctor, Quay, Sowall, Shcup, Spooner, War renton, Wellington, Wetmore aud Wil son Nays Bacon.

Pasco, Pettus, Rawlings, Roach, Turner, Turpie, Vest, Walthall and White-28. The following pairs were announced, the first named would have voted for tho liill and the last named against it: Aldrich and Murphy, Chandler and MeLaurin, Fry e and Gorman, Gear aud Smith, Hansbrough and Daniel. Hoar ami Harris of Tennessee, Thurston and Tillman, Wolcott and George. An analysis of the final vote shows tho affirmative was cast by 85 Republi cans, 2 silver Republicans, Jones of Ne vada, and Mantle, and one Democrat, McEuery; total, i.tf. The negative veto was cast by 25 Democrats, two Popu lists. Harris of Kansas, and Turner, and one silver Republican, Cannon; total, 2SJ. Eight Republicans were paired for the bill and eight Democrats against it. The Senators present and i:ot voting were: Popuiis.s. 5; Allen, Butler, Heitfeld, Kyle and Stewart; silver Re publicans, 2, viz., Teller aud Petti grew. Following the passing of tho bill a resolution was agreed to asking the House for a conference, and Senators Allison, Aldrich, Piatt, of Connecticut; Burrows, Jones, of Nevada; Vest, Tones, of Arkansas, and White were named as conferees on the part of the Senate. 'I he tariff debate begun on May 25, on which day Mr. Aldrich, in behalf of the iiuauce committee, made the open ing statement on the biil. Tho actual consideration of the bill began the next day, Mav "Ji. when schedule A, relating to chemicals, was taken up. The debate has been continuous since theu, covering six weeks, and one day. It has been notable iu some respects, although it has lacked many of the dramatic and erratic features marking past debates. From tho emtset the ad vocates of the bill refrained from set speeches, and the discussion was nar rowed to a consideration of rates and schedules rather than general debates. Mr. Aldrich's illness took him from the chamber after the first day, and siuco then the bill has been in immediate charge of Mr. Allison. The opposition has been directed in tho inaiu bv Mr. Jones of Arkansas, and Mr. est of Missouri, while Senators White, Caf ferv, Gray aud Allen have frequently figured in tlio debate. The bill, as it goes back to the House, re-enacts the anti-trust section of the Wilson act, while the reciprocity aud retaliatory provisions are substitutes for those of the House. ne of the most important provisions added by the Senate is that placing a stamp tax on bonds, debent ures and certificates of stock.

NOT LAST LONG. m ne vuuii .Mius nuvr ?irun) ii0r rasing Trade. Messrs. R. G. Dun A Co.'s Weekly Review ol Trade, ending Saturday, loth, says: The strike of the bitumin ous coal miners has taken T5 ,000 men or more from work and threatens to re strict supplies of fuel iu some quarters, though the West Virginia and some other mines which declined to take part, claim to be able to meet the East ern demand for some months. At the West the strike is by no means united ly sustained, aud the impression pro vails that it will not last long. The tin plate works have settled the wage question, and are again busv, and show a production of 4.500,000 boxes vearly, with a capacity of ,250,000 boxes. The bar mills have more trou ble, but a general settlement of iron and steel wages is exacted without much delay. New orders are small since the annual vacation began, but yet are large enough, everything e-ou-sidered, to afford some encouragement. The cotton mills have a ttiadyand increasing demand, aud the quotations of middling upland- have been advanced n sixteenth, added by sieculative strength on receipts of crop damage, es liecially in Texas and Arkansas. The woolen mills are getting Jeeided ly more orders lor fall wants and begin ning hopefully on spring goods, but are cautious in contracts for future deliv ery. Some have made large purchases of wool, by far the greater part of the sales, which amounted to 14,120,500 pounds at three chief markets for the week, have been of a simulative char acter. Western prices are held much above those of seaboard markets, Mon tana scoured being sold, according to rejiorts, at theequivalent of 42 cents at the East, against H at Boston and 40 at Philadelphia. There is a better demand for domestic wool in ex(ectation of higher prices. V hile the most cautious estimates of w heat yield have beeu advanced, that of the Orange Judd Farmer to 575,000, 000, prices have lifted nearly 3j cents, although Atlanta exports, flour includ ed, w ere lor the week l,5o;f,J52 bushels, against l,41K,:Wi lust year. Western receipSiare small, only l,:W5,fi32 bush els, against 2,!)TS,40t lust year, and the disposition of the farmers to hold for higher figures is strengthened bv many foreign reports. It w'bihs to be the fact that crops in other countries are less promising than usual, and the demand for American wheat is supplemented, even at this season, by exports of 2, J05,5S4 bushels of corn, against 530,010 bushels for the samo week last year. Each week raises the estimates of the estimates of the wheat yield, however, and if the weather continues favorable, the crop may prove a most important factor in tho future national and inter national business. The prospect as to corn is growing more cheerful each week, aud an immense crop is now an ticipated. Failures for the week havo been 2Xi in the United States, against 215 last year. liKCOItl) OF TIIK HOT WAVK. Chicago Appears to Have Suffered More Severely Than Any Other Sec tion. Tho fierce heat under which the greater portion of tho country has sweltered since the first of July has moderated iu many localities. Tho record of prostrations aud deaths re sulting from the long heated term ap proaches in magnitude that of a general epidemic. Rejiorts from all sections of the country show prostrations number ing in the neighborhood of .r),(M0 with fatalities close to ,'50. In addition to this, there were scores of deaths result ing indirectly from the terrible heat. The death rate in many of the large cities shows a fearful increase over pre vious years. Tho Central States have suffered more than the other States. In the number of fatalities, Chicago heads the list with HT death, Cincinnati and suburban points reporting 5, and St. Louis 1J. Throughout the South the heat was intense, but the death rate was much lower than iu the North. A DISI'KNKAKY KNOCK-OFT. The Original 1'aciiage Injunction .VI a ilc I'erniHii.'iit. In the United States Circuit Court at Charleston, S.

The "VVsy to Do It. "What I want is to achieve fame at a single bound." "Then go to Cuba and lose yourself." CleveVaod Plain Dealer. THE SOUTHERN rEOFLE ARE THE NEGROES' BEST FRIENDS. PHILOSOPHER DRAWS COMPARISONS fie Has Strong Convictions la Krcard I.nrlilng anil Throws Ont Sows Timely Suggmtlons. These "Boston yankees" already have big money in cotton mills iu South Carolina. Three-fourths of tho capital in the new mills in Spartan burg is New England money, and thy have never yet even suggested the em ployment of negro operatives. In.li od. it is a new departure if Boston na suddenly fallen in love with the nc,io, for all the genuine Yankees I know or luivo known had little use for him, ex cept as a base of political operations. The new little city of Fitzgerald that is made up of Illinois yankees, won't even allow him a domicile in the coi poration. I know a yankee lady who waT taken sick here and she wouldn't cat anything they cooked, and liked to have perished to death during her long illness. Kind neighbors tooX nice things to her, but had to tell . they were cooked by negroes. It i curious how they don't mix thine. s up north, for iu one hotel you will find all colored waiters and iu suother all whites. There arc hotels in Hif ida where all the waiters are New Eng land girls. In the northwest no color ed barbers are allowed. They would lynch one just as soon as he put up his striped pole. There is really less prejudice against the negro at the south than at the north. There are more trades and occupations open to him. But all this bus been said and resaid for thirty years. "Oh, but yon lynch them," they say, and tho New York Herald keeps an account against us over 300 in the last twelvemonths. If it was 3,000 we would still ask, like Governor Gates, "What ave you going to do about it?" Lynching for that crime is the law of nature, and will goon. When juries are organized to try hyenas and wolves and gorillas, maybe these brutes in hu man form w ill be tried, but not before. The argument is exhausted, and we stand by our wives and children. If the brute who was burned nt Dallas had had as many lives as a cat, I would have have burned them all. The fate cf that poer little child has haunted me over since. And so let the negro bishops and preachers, and teachers and editors stop bewailing the lynch ings and go to denouncing the outrages and teach to their people the enormity of tho crimeand its swift and sure pun ishment. The emotions of tho human heart are the same at Urbana as at Dallas. But Anglo-Saxon fears are aroused prematurely. No white children have yet been displaced that I have heard of. The papers say that some wealthy negroes are about to build a cotton mill in Alabama. That i i alright, of course, and they will employ negro labor. Mr. Anglo-Saxon can't com plain about that, but he charges that lion. Hoke Smith in K'J3 wrote an article for The American Review ad vocating the employment of negro labor iu our cotton mills as a means of competing with the Chinamen. Well, I don't beli vo that Mr. Hoke Smith wrote any such thing, for we have no Chinamen in that business, and if we had, how could the negro compete any better than the white race? I know of no trade or occupa tion in which the negro excels the white man, either in skill or cheap ness. But this man is very mad with us, and actually abuses Frank Stanton for writing poetry about mules and wateriii'dons and violets and daisies, while the whit people are threatened with the dirt st calamity of thirty years.
