For, thO ftotlime Bincejfte begin ning of the session, MrrRnsselirepf e senting the third district of North. Car olina, rose in' his place In the HOuse of ; Representatives, last Tuesday and made a few scattering remarks. It was Mr. Russell's first experience in the arena of national politics, and we grieve to relate that he was sat down unon. summarily and violently. The nuestion was upon the motion Of Mr. Bragg, Democrat, of Wisconsin,!; to in sert in the legislative, executive ana judicial appropriation bill jaTelause re-f pealing the Southern claims commis-j sion. Mr. Bragg spoke to his motion and must have said disagreeable things about the class of - men who are "most given to the presentation of f these Southern claims to Congress; !at all events the Wisconsin member raised the ire of the North Carolina member, who spoke as follows, according to the Washineton Republican's report: f r -Russell ft. 0.) protested that the nroDosition offered by the gentleman lrom Hiscuiisiu (Mr. Brace) Was not only an injury, but an insult to the W T . ITir. men nf t.llfl fSOllin. anil UliiW 11 there was any class of men in the coun try who deserved the consideration of tlie government it was the Union men of the Southern states, uiatnrv micrht be searched in vain fnr an inatancft of men having suffered nnri endured for opinion's sake so much as they had done. Even in the Hugue nots of France, the pissenters of Seot i:Ln.i the Puritans of England, there wn im narallel for their endurance. They had suffered for a principle. He pwI the assertion that there had been no Union men in the South. It had become quite respectable on this flnnr tx rast slurs at Union men of the South. That had got to be the high- toned thing, the highly respectaoie thing; but the insinuation was a slan der on men who were the equals of the centleman from Wisconsin, or of any other gentleman on the floor. Applause on the Republican side. The New York Sun, however, gives a much more entertaining sketch than this; in fact, gives a very entertaining sketch indeed; so much so that we copy from the Sun's Washington letter as follows : Daniel L. Russell, a new Republican member from North Carolina, niade an amusing speech. He tucked up his coafc sleeves, brandished a pair of brawny fists, and acted as though he wanted to fight any nan who insinuated that there were not .plenty of loyal Union men in the South in the war4 He talked about the glorious Union and the boys in blue. I Gen. Bragg then said that he wanted the Southern claims commission abol ished to prevent the government from paying debts that it had no business to pay, and to prevent the Republicans from using the cry of rebel claims as a prelude to interesting campaign docu ments. He called, upon the Republi cans to come to the front and face the music. Thev had secreted themselves behind the cloak of lovaltv long enough If the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Russell) was loyal he would like to know when. Russell had served in the Confederate armv. was a member of the Confederate Legislature, and after the war ended had become a Republi can. He had been elected a judge by the Republicans of North Carolina, not withstanding he had never been gradu ated from a law office. This attack upon Russell, every word of which is true, was greeted with roars of applause. An account of the debate is also tele graphed from Washington to the Rich mond Dispatch. As this is substantially, however, the same as that above, we copy only a sentence or two from it: Mr. Russell, Republican, of North Carolina, went into a highfalutin de fence of the Union men of the South, when General Ward, of Ohio, asked him if he proposed to pay for the prop erty which he, as a Confederate soldjer, helped to destroy, and he replied, "Yes ; I was in the Confederate army, and I have no apology to make for it, either. The KepuDlicans, who had been ap plauding, seemed to have suddenly Bwallowed something sour. The whole tenor of the above dis patches goes to show that the older members took an unfair advantage of Mr. Russell's youth and . indiscretion, nnd got him down and stuck their fing ers in his eyes. This was not only very bad on Mr. Russell, but his awkward position mortifies his North Carolina admirers; and even this is not the worst of it, but in the heat of the de- Date, ana ueing pressea closely,; he re iterated his old Confederate sentiments, thereby shocking and scandalizing his brother Republicans on the flooir. In every point of view it was a most unfortunate day for Mr. Russell. If, to quote tne irishman, "lie can never open his mouth without putting his foot in it," he had best come home and doctor his horses and -mules, ; all of which are down with the epizootic, The Sufferings of Deluded Ne groes. -The tale which ourtelegraphic columns tell this morning is not of a character to excite any extraordinary mania On the part of the colored people, of "this section on the subject of emi gration. Utterly destitute, hundreds of these emigrants are lying about; Wvan- dotte, Mo:, and thousands, equally with out the means of livelihood, are Coming after them. The mayor of Kansas City appeals to the secretary of war for auth ority to issue rations to the starving, but this is denied and the charity of the world is then invoked to savfc these foolish unfortunates from death! Truly this is a, captivating picture for Senator Windom to exhibit to the negroes who have comfortable homes and enough to eat in the South. An Immense Newspaper.

President Hayes does not nceaIfiB willingness to assent to the qusticf of the repeal of the provision that was ex cusable in the early days of reconstruc tion, but the revolutionary partisan leaders in Congress are yelling about rebels on juries and the organs must fol low the leaders. The truth is that no Senator, Representative 6r public jour-i nal making any pretentions to self-respect or to any appreciation of justice, can insist that Judge Settle should ad minister the law from the bench while he would be ineligible to decide a case as a juror under the instructions from the court, or that Judge Key might sit in a Republican Cabinet while he could not le sworn as a luror in a court of justice. Weak organs will pipe on in that way, but as they have no self-re spect or influence to lose, it matters not Congressmen who are to be judged somewhat as statesmen, however, should pay some deference to consis tency and the decent administration of the laws." Two Statements Which Do Not Consist." The Louisville Courier- Journal says : "Hon. Horatio C. Bur- chard, mint director, has been on a tour of inspection of United States mints, Among other items he reports that the mint at Charlotte, N. C, was doing a small business, but the operations there were very satisfactory. Its mainten ance he considers important to the. de velopment of the mineral resources of the locality. Mining interests in that State have received a new impetus, and the indications are that the production of gold in North Carolina will be ma terially increased. Northern capital, to a considerable extent, is being invested in mining enterprises there. Mr.. Bur- chard probably speaks from personal knowledge, and his statement about the investment of Northern capital in North Carolina does not appear to accord very closely with the asseveration of the Cincinnati Commercial and other sec tional organs, that everybody is selling out in the isouth and 'nvmg from im pending ruin.' " The Session. The debate in the House on the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, will come to an end, it has been agreed, a week from to-day. This, however, does not argue that the end of the session is anywhere in sight. The army bill has not even passed the Senate yet, and besides, general legislation has fairly commenc ed in the House. The end may . not be reached inside of six months may not be reached before next winter. There is no guessing when it will come; the only thing certain is that it will not come soon. The murder mania rages. We had two homicides in North Carolina only last Saturday the one at Laurinburg, Rich mond county, and the other at Taylors- ville, Alexander county. The people have r .ad of the work of the nimble knife and pistol until they have quite tired of it ; what the country now pines for is some gallows literature. In the United States Senate last Mon day, Mr. Vance, of North Carolina, in troduced a bill to amend so much of the civil appropriation act of 1878 as provides for the pay of mail contrac tors m the Southern States before the rebellion." " STAKVIXG COLORED EMIGRANTS. Arriving Destitute in Missouri Appeal to the Country to Relieve Them. St. Louis, April 17 A Kansas Citv dispatch says : "A large number of col ored southern rerugees having been landed by steamboats at Wyandotte in an entirely destitute condition during the past few days, they are occupying the churches and public halls of that place.

Washington. lApril, 17.-r Senates On the expiration1 of the morning 4i6ur Ifta armypropxutkm f up, -Morgan, oi .a.iauuiia, wins enuueu to the floor. Morgan said that here- axter, he; intended to speak in vindica tion of the attitude of the Southern members of Congress, which had been the object of much unjust aspersion. The South was not responsible for the existence of the question now agitating the public. He said he considered it best at present to yield to his friend from Indiana (Voorhees.) Voorhees called attention to what ne feared was not generally realized; namelv: that Federal interference ex tended not only to congres sionai Dut to all 8te fu$d local elections. Ameri can Citizens i by thus having overseers nut MSter themwere reduced to the condition of. slates. .ViKrhees.ttetaiWd the system or elec tion laws, and pointed out the provis ions therein dangerous to free ballot. Usurpers always take advantage of such and laws. Already our people had seen them used to defeat the popular will. Caesar sent his emissaries into the provinces to incite disturban ces as am excuse fa use tne; army to keep peace. The same thing might be, done and had been done by the Presi dent of the United states. Teller followed him. He said the Democrats had until now sustained the veto power of the President. The roper place to test the validity of the aw was in the courts. The Demo cratic cry for f reeJaallot was consis tent, as all election trauas ror tne last thirty years have been to the advan tage of the Democratic pariy. ne concluded by citing the evidence heard by the Teller committee as proof of the correctness and justice of his argument. t House. Immediately after the read ing of the journal, the. question $ame up rrom yesieruay morning on uie um reported from . the, , committee on coinage, weights and measures to pro vide for the exchange of subsidiary silver coins for legal tender money, and to make such coins legal tender in -an sums not exceeding ten dollars. The question was on the motion made by Buckner, of Missouri, chairman of the committee on banking mid currency, to refer the bill to that committee. That motion was opposed by -Stephens, of Georgia, chairman of the coinage committee, who argued that the bill came from the appropriate committee, was now before the House, was short, simple and ought to be acted on by the House to-day. The motion to refer was sustained by Buckner, who argued that if the coinage committee had jurisdiction of the question involved in the bill, then it had jurisdiction of the whole system of the currency of the country, whereas the functions of that committee were properly confined to the technical points of coinage, devices, dies, &c. The same points were enforced by Chittenden, of New Vprk, who had presented the petition1 on which the bill was reported, but. the bill was be fore the House and should be passed on its merits alone. The opposite view was held by Claflin, of Massachusetts, who argued that the jurisdiction of the banking committee was confined to matters con nected with the National' Banks. The bill therefore had come from the ap propriate , committee and should be passed. Price, of Iowa, declared himself in favor of abolishing the banking and currency committee if it had not con trol of the subject of the bill. The House was brought by the previ ous question to vote on tne motion to refer the bill to the banking committee, and that motion was rejected 88 to 97 and the bill is now before the House for action. At the close of the morning hour the bill went over till to-morrow. An effort was made by Atkins, of Tennessee, to have the debate on the legislative bill closed next Saturday. That provoked a controversy between Atkin and Conger. The latter inter preted a remark of Atkins into an apol ogy to him. Atkins informed him, how ever, that he was incapable of apologiz ing "to that gentleman to that man. Conger said he was equally glad that that gentleman withdrew his apology. Atkins told him that he had not with drawn it. Conger was equallv glad that the gentleman showed some little feel ing. Atkins thought it a pity that Con ger did not show some; but he had none. It was agreed to extend the debate until Friday of next week. The House then went into commit tee of the whole on the legislative bilL Kelly made a speech against the pol icy or attempting to co-erce the iTesi dent into signing the appropriation bills. He warned the Democratic par ty that if it attempts to override the veto in any other than in a constitu tional way it will be trampled under the feet of an indignant people. He said he would vote for the repeal of the test oath for jurors if before the House as a seperate measure. At the expiration of his hour, Kelly's time was, on motion- of Carlisle, of Kentucky, extended fifteen minutes. His speech was hstented to with mark ed attention. Carlisle followed. In his remarks he said: "Disclaiming any intention to make an appeal to passion ; disclaim ing any intention to excite any partisan feeling, or to distract the judgment of the people's representatives on this very exciting question, I say to the gentle men on the other side, not in any spirit of arrogance or dictation, but with all the deliberation and earnestness which the gravity of this great; subject de mands, that these laws fmist be repeal ed, and that this power of the execu tive to control the election of the peo ple's representatives must be taken away." Applause on the Democratic side. THE SP0FFQRD-KELLOGG CASE GOING ON. The Senate committee on privileges and elections to-day continued , their hearing, of argument in the Spofford Kellogg case. Judge Spofford will be heard in his own behalf to-morrow. THE MARYLAND DISTRICT JUDGESHIP, Senators Davis, of Illinois, Bayard and Garland, the sub-committee ap pointed by the judiciary-committee to report upon the nomination of R.

At a mass meeting of colored people iu Cincinnati, Monday night,' measures were taken to aid the colored emigrants from the South now at St. Louis. John Brown, Jr son of Ossawattomie Brown, publishes a letter, in which he volun teers his services to aid the suffering colored refugees of the South. He states that in his opinion the time has come for another grand rescue of the colored man, and although he is fifty-eight years old he is ready to devote his re maining energies to the cause. The damage by a cyclone at Collins ville, Mo., eleven miles from St Louis, Monday, is estimated at $50,000. The cyclone, as usual, was rotary in its mo tion, and struck and bounded from the earth three times during its passage through the town. Its width was only about seventy feet Many houses were destroyed or damaged and several per sons injured, besides one killed. One of the evidences of its force was the picking up of a horse and buggy, which were carried to a height of twenty to thirty feet, a distance of about fifteen rods, and dashed to the earth, the horse being crushed to a jelly and the wagon to splinters. The cemetery, just out side the town, was laid waste, nearly every tombstone being leveled to the ground. mm--m i i THE NEW MARKET DANDICAP. Parole Sweeps the Platter The Favor iteor the Epsom Races. London, April 17 Mr. P. Lorillard's American horse, Parole, before yester day (when he won the race for the New Market Handicap at the Market Craven meeting) was quoted at 4 to 1 for the city and suburban handicap, which is to be run on the 22nd inst, at the Epsom spring meeting. He is now the favor ite for that race at 8 to 1. His win yesterday means five pounds penalty which will make his weight for the city and suburban handicap 119 pounds, his published weight for that race being 112 pounds. Yesterday he car ried 116 pounds and gave Isonomy,' who carried 124 pounds, more than five Sound beating. The field of half ozen competitors was the smallest since the race was established in 1845. This was composed of the three animals mentioned Parole, Isonomy and Lina and Rylstone, Dean and Drumhead. The betting on these was 4 to 1 against Rylstone, 6 to 1 against Dean, and 7 to 1 against Drumhead. Lina made the running with clear advantage of Drumhead, the Dean and Parole, Rylstone and Isonomy lying off. They ran in this order to Turn-off-the Lands," where Rylstone dropped away into the extreme rear, the others re taining their respective positions for only a short distance further, when Parole drew clear away, followed by Isonomy. From this point the race was over, Parole winning with great ease by a length and a half. The rest finished in a cluster, a hundred yards off-headed by Lina. Parole's time was 3 minutes, 1 second.
