THE SENATE DEVOTES ITSELF CHIEFLY TO THE PASSAGE OF PRIVATE BILLS, AND VOOR- HERS DISCOURSES ON THE IM PRISONMENT OF AMERICAN SUSPECTS. REPUBLICAN HYPOCRISY. There are indications that tbe Repub lican party managers are working up the color question, with a view to po litical effect in the coming campaign. The movement of the colored people of this State to secure certain rights, which, it is alleeed. have been denied them, and which culminated in the Goldsboro convention, is part of the scheme, which originated not among the colored people, but among the white managers, who never let slip an oppor tunity to practice upon the credulity of the race, whuiii they have found it so easy to dupo sin.-wthey became a factor in politics. The prosecution of the citi zens of South Carolina, charged with violation of the United States election laws, in which Attorney-General Brews ter shows such extraordinary zeal, is substantially a part of the same pro- gramme, which, under pretense of se curing a "free election and a fair count," means an effort to wrest that State from the Democracy and turn it over to the Republicans. The idea is. to mke the negroes believe that they have, been im posed upon, defrauded out of a victory that properly belonged to them, and im press them with the idea that they may look to the United States to champion their cause if they assert their rights and contend for the supremacy of the State. This, we say, is practically what these probecutions mean. Last Thursday a delegation of promi nent colored men w'aited upon Mr. Brewster, who has shown such zeal in the South Carolina cases, and protested acainst the non-enforcement of the civil rights of the negro in Florida, and received f nmi him the assurance that the case complained of should meet with prompt and full investigation. Here, then, is the colored question in some shape coming to the front in three States, two of them very close States, and within the possible reach of the Republican, the other with a large negro majority, which, if it could be held together and voted solidly for the IteiDublicans. would ensure it to them 4- - , There is time between now and the next election to work up these States and get the negroes pretty compactly in line for the work to be done. This is undoubtedly the game. It is the old game which has been played, to a greater or les3 extent, on the advent of every gen eral election that has been held in the South since the war. This interest in the colored man, however, is mere pre tense. They want his vote, and for this they heid with him; his vote received, he may rest under his so-called griev ances until his vote is wanted again, when their interest in him will be again aroused, and they will patch up more "whereases" and "resolves" to show their friendship. It is somewhat remarkable that while this is going on in the South, and the Republican managers are persuading the colored brother that he is very badly treated by the Democrats, that three Republican United States Senators take occasion, in the United States Senate, to pronounce negro suffrage a failure, and to express the opinion that this country belonged to the white man, and would be ruled by. the white man. One of these Senators was H. M. Teller, of j Colorado, who has recentljbeen ap- pointed Secretary of the Interior by Ir. Arthur, he thus indirectly, if not not directly, endorsing the views of Teller by taking him into his cabinet and making him one of his council. What do intelligent colored men think of that? How could they fail to see the hypocrisy of the party whose presi dent places in his cabinet the man who proclaims himself an advccate of white supremacy, while it pretends to be the especial friend and champion of the colored people? The appointment of Teller to that position was an affront to the colored voters of the United States, and would be so regarded by them if they were not used to being kicked, cuffed and humbugged with impunity by the party which has trifled wilh them at will ever since they be came a voting power. Perhaps, in the course of time and in the slow de velopment of events, the colored people will discover how little of real interest or friendship there is in the Republican party for them. The Chinese Question, in the House A Proposition to Pay Certain Ante War Claims Elicits a Lively Discus sion, Calls Some of the "Loyal" Members Vigorously to the Front, and Some of Them Vent Their Opinions Freely. mal condition the industrial and busi ness interests in conflict, or come up to the expectation of the people of that section. The report then proceeds to argue that the government of the Uni ted States was given by the treaty ab solute discretion as to determining the time and manner of such suspension. The House then proceeded to the con sideration of the private business, and at 12 -J30 went into committee of the whole on the private calendar. The first bill on the calendar for the relief of Edward B. Armstrong, one of the heirs of James B. Aimstrong, of Missouri, met with some opposition on the ground that though the original claimant had been loyal, E. B. Arm strong had been unable to prove his Vhite. of Kentucky, advocated the measure and contended that the claims of loyal persons which originated be fore the war should be paid. The Re publican party could not afford to vote against this bill. It might gain some congressional districts in the North by such clap trap, but could not, he hoped, gain any in the South. Camp, of New York, earnestly pro tested against the passage of the bill, contending that it would open the doors fnr nt.hsr rp.hfil claims. It would be quoted as a precedent for the payment of salaries to those officers who resign ing thftir commissions had turned their swords against their country. It would be cited for the payment of the balance of the salaries of those gentlemen who had left their seats in the House and Senate and plunged the nation into war. The men who had gone into the rebel lion had forfeited every right which the constitution had guaranteed to them and the only right they had was to have their property confiscated and themselves hanged higher than Haman. The debate was continued at great length by Taylor, of Ohio, and Buckner, Ot missoun, in auuinuu ui, uu Bright' DUcase, Diabetes, Kidney, Litver or Urinary Diseases.

Senate. Lapham presented a remonstrance transmitted to him by the Chamber of Commerce of New York from the bus iness men of that city engaged in xne China dry goods, iron and cotton trade, and embracing the signatures of bank ers and insurance companies against the passage of any law prohibiting Chi nese immigration. It sets forth that such legislation is contrary to our national policy and an unnecessary affront to a friendly na tion, prejudicial to the commercial in terests of the country in reducing if not destroying our growing commerce with China . which promises to be of vast im portance. Lapham said the petitioners were an imated by that spirit "which so univer sally prevailed in his boyhood, and which was expressed in one stanza in a the song, Jefferson and liberty with which all were familiar. "Here strangers from a thousand shores, Compelled by tyranny to roam, Snail find amid abundant stores A freer and happier home." The paper went to the committee on foreign relations.

Confesses the Vengeance is One of the Culprits Crime, for which Wreaked. New York, April 14. ASelma. Ahv. special says that Henry Ivy and Jim Acoff, negroes, who it has transpired were implicated in the killing of J. B. Weissenger on December 10th last, were taken out and lynched by a body of forty masked men at 2 o'clock yes terday morning, in the woods, four miles south of Brown s Station, on tbe Alabama Central Railroad. Last Wed nesday Ivy, who had been haunted by thoughts of execution and was suffer ing from pangs of conscience, made a full confession of the crime, pronounc ing himself as the man who really did the killing, and implicated Jim Acoff, then at large on the plantation. The confession was made, without fear or compulsion, to seven Intelligent white men. Ivy and Acoff were immediately arrested and held to await the action of Ihe grand Jury. When it became gen erally known on the neighboring plan tations that Ivy had made a confession, the negroes became greatly excited, and it was only with great decision on the part of the white people that they were kept from hanging the culprit then and there. Ivy and Acoff were confined in a, school bouse. Yesterday morning, while one of the guarda was absent to cet a drink of water, forty masked men, thought to be all whites,ode up to the iviMincr rmicklv overcame and bound and gagged the remaining guards, and rode off with the negroes, who in vain pleaded for mercy for 'Mast one more Say" of life. Ivy's body was found hanging to a tree near the school house. AcofTa body has not yet been discov ered, but there can be no doubt of his having been killed. More Rations Furnished. "Washington, April. H.-The Secre tary of War to-day directed that two hundred thousand additional rations be issued to the commissioners atJNew Orleans to be distributed to sufferers from the floods in Louisiana. bill to reappropriate and apply tne amount appropriated by tne ace or March 1S77 to pay certain .Southern mail contractors. On motion of Cameron, of Wisconsin, the House bill for the allowance of about 150 claims-arising under the act of July 4th, 1864, for Btores and sup plies furnished the army of the United States, all of which have been reported by the accounting omcer or ine treasu ry, was passed. The Senate then took up the calen dar and on motion of Teller, devoted the morning hour to the pension Dins, of which a number were passed. At the expiration of the morning hour, at 2 o'clock, the bill for the im provement; of navigation in the Missis sippi and Missouri rivers, which came up as the regular order, was temporari ly laid aside, and 60 pension bills After disposing of this business the regular order was again passed over, and Voorhees addressed the Senate unon the resolution recently introduced - r - . j iu by him aecianng me conauci, oi me State department in relation to the ar rest and imprisonment by the British authorities of Daniel McSweeney and other American citizens in violation of American law, inconsistent with the value of American citizenship and de rogatory of the honor of the United States. He said the Secretary of State had failed to respond to the Senate res olution of March 9th, peremptorily in structing him to report upon the Mc Sweeny case at the earliest day possible until March 20th, although every item of information transmitted on tne latter date was in the hands of that officer when the resolution reached him, ana could have been sent in within 24 hours thereafter. The American State de partment, he asserted, of late years had alwavs proceeded very slowly when ap pealed to in behalf of an American citi zen in a foreign prison. He proceeded as follows: "A government which is indifferent to the fate of its own citi zens, whether at home or abroad, which fails to respond boldly and swiftly to their appeals for justice, and leaves them to waste away their lives in prison, untried and unconvicted, is unworthy of allegiance, and ought not to have and will not long retain a respectable position among the independent powers of the earth." The speaker then re viewed the case of McSweeny, "a natu ralized American citizen, who was ar rested by British authorities in Ireland and imprisoned on the 2d of June, 1881, and who has been in prison without trial ever since, notwithstanding the repeated appeals of the prisoner and his wife to our government for protec tion and redress." The unmanly and pusilanimous silence of the State Department throughout the whole case was, Mr. Voorhees said, such that every Ameri can head would be bowed and every American heart filled with humiliation as the facts become known. He, Voor hees, felt degraded in his pride as a citizen, when compelled to state as he now did with the communication of the State Department in his hands, that for six long and weary months to the pris oner, after this government had receiv ed the letter of Mrs. McSweeney, not a single step was taken by the authorities here for an inquiry into the circum stances of the arrest, and they were then influenced to take action by con siderations other than a just apprecia tion of the claims of McSweeny to pro tection. Mr. Jones, of Florida, asked whether McSweeny was in prison now ? Mr. Voorhees said he understood that he was as no notice had been given of his release. Com menting upon the prisoner's recital of his sufferings in jail he said the picture was one of wanton brutality, such as barbarians alone inflicted on their pris oners, whether guilty or not, and showed that the spirit of torture which for so many years disgraced English history was yet active, especially when the victim belongs to a government whose administration cares nothing for his safety and still less for its own hon or. Upon the history of the case Mr. Voorhees charged that there bad been gross and flagrant violation of the aet of July 27, 1868, section 2,001 or the Ke vised Statutes, for which somebody ought to answer at the bar of the Sen ate under articles of impeachment. At the close of Senator Voorhees' re marks the galleries, which contained many members of the land league con vention reeently in session in this city, noisily manifested their "appreciation of his effort. Upon the suggestion at Senator Sherman tbe resolution of Mr. Vooi- nees was rererrea to tne committee on foreign relations with a view to .en quiring into all the facts of the case. The Senate, at 4 AO, went into execu tive session, and when the doors wre re-opened adjourned until Monday. HcrtSE. Willis, of Kentucky, pre sented aminority report on the anti Chinese Mil and; it was referred to the House" calendar. The report states thatfthe "minority members had desired to report a bill fixing the term of suspension at fifteen of Michigan, in opposition to the bill, after which th,e enacting elause was struck out, thus defeating ihe measure. After the consideration of several other private bills the committee rose and after the transaction of some un important business the house at 4.30 ad journed. To-morrow's session to be for debate on the tariff commission bill. Sugar Cane Killed A Terrific and Rain Storm. Hail Plactjemine, La., April 14 The Times-Democratic's boat Susie B. ar rived here after a trip through Bayou Grosse Tete as far as Rosedale. Wool folk, Shady Grove, Augusta, Trinity and Daquin places are under water. The cane will probably be killed. The los3 to the sugar crop here will be about 3.000 hogsheads and the loss to stock 1000 hogsheads. On the Gay and Dagre places Wednes day night during the terrific hail and rain storm, the sugar house was blown down and nothing has been heard of its 11 white occupants. They were Mr. l'Ovillon, his mother, brother, wife and child, Mr. Hopaker, his wite and two children, and two unknown persons. Search this morning showed all the refugees furniture crushed, but no bodies were found. As their boats are missing it is hoped the people fled to the woods before the storm broke out. Report of Committee on Contested Elections in Florida. WASHINGTON, April 14. The House committee elections to-day adopted the the following resolutions by a vote of 7to4: Resolved, That Jesse J. Finley was not elected as a Representative to the Forty-seventh Congress from the Sec ond Congressional district of Florida, and is not entitled to a seat. Resolved, That Horatio Bisbee, Jr., was duly elected as Representative from the Second Congressional district of Florida to the Forty-seventh Con gress and is entitled to his seat as such Representative. Rainey was instructed to report the action of the committee to the House, and permission was given the minority to make a report direct to the House. Failure of a Buffalo Bank. Buffalo, N. Yn April 14. The First National bank of this city closed its doors this morning. A large number of their drafts issued to live stock dealers drawn on the Fourth National bank of New York city, on the 4th instant and since that date, were yesterday dishon ored in New York. The extent or amount of drafts un paid cannot now be ascertained but is thought to be large. The failure of the bank to pay their drafts will seriously affect a laree number of live stock dealers who sent dishonored drafts in payment of stock sold by them. It is believed that depositors will be paid in full. APRIL 14, 1882 PRODUCE, WrfjpMQTOK, N. C Spirits turpentine Ann, at 55c. Mloeln arm; strained S1.92V&; good strained 81.97T&. Tar Arm, at 81.75.
