By Te!eirraph to tile New and Observer.
WAsaiseTOir, August 13 Sesatx
Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, gave notice that
he would; on Thursday next, ask th"
Senate to consider the report of the
judiciary committee on the alleged
suppression of the colored vote io
Jackson, Mississippi.
I The Senate then resumed the con
sideration of the fisberits treaty in
open executive session and was ad
dressed by Mr. Call in support of its
ratification. .
i He argued that the contention of
Mr. Sherman (that the great bays on
the Canadian coast were the high seas
and public property) would apply to
the open sea fisheries of Florida, be
tween Key West and the mainland,
and to the coasts of Alaska and the
Northwest, and would amount to
surrender of the territorial possession
and 'jurisdiction' over all that vast
line. ; To his. mind the treaty
which j asset" ed the jurisdictional
power and exclusive right over those
wa'era was to be commended
as establishing a principle far
more important than the enjoyment
of the inshore fisheries of the , Gulf
of St. Lawrence. And he said that
to the United States, and to his
own State of Florida, abounding in
fish and fisheries, the right to say on
what terms and conditions the privi
lege of fishing might be enjoyed by
foreign people was a most important
consideration,- and that the pending
treaty did affirm that principle by re
cognizing the right oi Great Britain
to declare what portion Of her inshore
fisheries Bbould be the privilege of
American fishermen. As to the power
of the United States, he said that the
United States was great and power
fa), but only so long and so
far as it conformed to right,
to justice, to humanity, in its rela
tions with other nations. He de-'
c'.ared that he would not be willing
to grant commercial rights in Florida
waters to fishing smacks, and be was
Dot willing that Canada should be
retaliated against for taking that
position. At the close of Mr. Call's
speech the presiding officer (Cock
rell in the chair) announced the ques
tion to be on Mr, Morgan's -motion
to postpone the consideration of the
treaty till Uecember next, and asked
whether the Senate was ready for the
question.
Mr. Hoar On that motion I call
for toe yeas and nays.
Mri Gray said that before the vote
was taken he desired to say something
on . the motion. It had become
evident from various outgivings on
the Republican: side of the Chamber
that the treaty Was not to be ratified
at this session. ! j The Senate had been
told in a more or less monitory tone
that it was not! 'only to be rejected,
but was to bel rejected at once, and
without delay! i No special reason for
that bad been given, but there were
reasons for it i which lay on tne sur
face, and were easily read. The
trea'y was being discussed in the
very i midst of an excited political
campaign, and the Democratic Sena
tors had been told that they were
arguing the itraisn side of the case.
Why, (he asked; should not the con
sideration of Che treaty beposbponed
to a more quiet season t Wny should
not these influences that.- came from
a sober second thought and from the
absence of extraneous influences and
excitements be invoked
The issues
involved in the ! debate were too mo
mentous, and the consequences that
might arise mere too serious ana
grave to be lightly dealt with. No
interest involved could possibly be
affected injuriously by the proposed
postponement; The fishermen, whose
rights were the subject-matter oi the
treaty, were pursuing their avocations
now unmolested and undisturbed
under the protocol attached to the
treaty. The burden was on these, who
denjjed that a postponement should
be made to give some good, strong
and; broad reason for their opposi
tions. He proceeded to criticise the
letter published in the Evening Bul
letin and purporting to be from
Charles Levi Woodbury, on . the sub
ject of the twelfth article of the
treaty las riving away the rights of
the StateB to control their territorial
waters), and he spoke of it as an ab
solutely fallacious argument, as unloy
al and nonsense. Congress could not
(Mr. Gray declared) divest the otate
of Maryland of its jurisdiction qger
the ' Chesapeake Bay, nor could it
divest the States of Delaware and
New Jersey of ! the j urisdiction over
the Delaware Bay. And he did not
believe that Jar. Woodbury ever
risked his professional reputation (a
high one) by such argument. He
(Mr; Gray) would not for'a moment
think of voting; for the: treaty if it
were susceptible of the interpretation
which , that paper attempted to put
upon it. -
Id conclusion, Mr. Gray declared
bia belief that; the honor and fame
and reputation of the country were
preserved by b treaty
ana that,
if it should be rejected, and if trou
blea and annoyances to American
fishermen should be renewed, the re
sponsibility therefor would fall on
those who had voted to reject the
treaty.
Mr. George obtained the floor, but
after a short but sharp passage be
tween himself and Mr. Hoar, the mat
ter went over (ill tomorrow, and at
6 15 the Senate adjourned.

Mr. Davidson, of Florida, intro

bia. . After some time spent on measures
of lpcal interest to the District of

ieereasing to $30 per month the rate
o( pension for total deafness.
Mr. Warner, of Missouri, afked
unanimous consent for the immediate
consideration of the dependent pen
sion bill; but Mr. Walker, oil Missouri,
objected.
The House then went into com
mittee of the whole on the, fortifica
tion appropriation bill. Moltime was
ccmsumwi iu general debate, and! the
camoiittee innnedia'ely proceeded to
the consideration of the bill by sec

Senator Voorhees' speech was about
three quarters of an hour in length
and was an admirable and powerful
review of the conduct and relation of
the parties, an eloquent presentation
of the claims of the Democratic party
to) support and confidence and an
equally eloquent arraignment and
condemnation of the Republicans.

There were twenty-five hundred peo

Senators Voorhees and Butler made
fepeeches three-quarters of an hour in
length each. Gen. Young was too
unwell to speak. The speeches were
able, eloquent and effective. Voor
hees warned the Southern peo
ple of the danger if the Re
publicans succeed, and against Harri
son whom he described as a bitter,
malignant enemy of the South. He
paid a splendid tribute to Cleveland,
as standing between tariff reduction
and the repeal of the internal rev
enue. He preferred the former,
which sentiment was cheered. 'His
denunciation of Morton wss specially
effective. He said he was a specula
tor in the fraudulent bonds of North
Carolina, had bought them at very
low rates and now demanded them
dollar for dollar. Both speeches were
well received by the vast audience.

25 years spent in the school-room as

brought to him much wisdom and
real skill in tne management of pu-
ils. Mild in discipline, but firm,
controls his ouoils like a born
leader, and has but slight difficulty in
winning all to obedience. Being in

to spend bis future at this

The recent rains have greatly im

Let me add that the interest felt in

A Burnsville correspondent, writes
us that the day Messrs.; Fowle and
Finger spoke in that town was old
Yancey's greatest red letter day,
Jack's Creek mounted ; Democratic
club, Col. Moses W. Peterson in com
mand, the Burnsville mounted Demo
cratic club, Col. L. H. Smith in com
mand, met the distinguished speakers
at the Mitchell county hne and es
corted them to Burnsville. There
were several hundred in the mounted
escort, and at Burnsville these were
joined by the balance of the county
escort, ihe reception was enthusias
tic, and indicated strongly the united
condition of the Democracy of old
Yancey. Gov. Fowle was introduced
to the large audience so large the
meeting bad to be held m an oak
grove, the large court room not being
capable of holding half the people
present by Colonel L. H. Smith
and made such a speech
only JJaniel ii. lfowie can
make. The people were electrified 4
by the speech. Col. Peterson then
introduced Maj- Finger, who made
powerful speech on the iniquities of
the tariff and other onerous national
taxes. The facts and figures pre
sented by Maj. Finger opened the
eyes of the people. He is a strong
speaker. Owing to illness Kev. Mr.
Sanderlin, candidate for Auditor, was
not present, and Rev. Mr. Baldwin,
of Burnsville, kindly consented to
represent him. Mr. Baldwin is
strong and eloquent speaker, and his
speech on this occasion not only bus
tained his reputation, but was a grand
thing for Democracy.
Mai. u. D. Ray, president of the
Burnsville Democratic club, went
over to Bakersville with an elegant
team and carriage and brought Judge
Fowle and Mai- Finger over to Burns
vilJe.
The Democracy in Yancey is solid
this year, which means a big victory
in that county.

The issues in the present campaign
are, "Sfiall the white control the
State, and Reduction ot Taxation f"
While tbe writer claims to be as
anxious as any one to do all in bia
power to mitigate or remove the evils
of intemperance, as j a Democrat,
he will not vote on questions not at
issue, acid thereby give a vote indi
rectly to the Republican party, which
all must admit, would be the result
of voting with the Third party in the
coming election. It is a trap Bet by
the Republicans, which all Democrats
should shun.
Tax reduction has put 'one eighth
bottles of quinine at; fifteen cents,
instead of 50 or bo .cents, and we
want to put seventy-five cent wool
hats at 'fifty cents, kar1 five dollar
woolen coats at three i de iirs, and a
corresponding reduction cn all ar
ticles used by the masses, which
can be done, we believe, without in
jury to the manufacturer or laborer,
Whether taxes sliall be reduoed,so as
to give the greatest relief to the tax
payer, oil. whether taxes shall be re
duced, so as to do the least possible
harm to subsidized industries, is
the plain! matter of dispute between
tbe two parties,
There will be a vast. ska! of talk

If vou will remember a few years axo

Asheville CHIien.
Now, as to the operation of the
tariff; Major Finger illustrates sim
ply, clearly and effectively. He givea
an example which every understand
ing will take in Suppose, he says
he is speaking within a dozen miles
of tbe Tennessee line that a man
gors Over into Tennessee and buys a
pair of shoes for two dollars. He
starts home with them, but on tbe
North Carolina line he finds posted a
man invested by law with the power
of exacting seventy cents for the priv
ilege of bringing them into his own
State- This , is preoiselv analovoua
to the operation of the duties levied
on foreign importations, four thou
sand articles ibeinGr now subiaet to
impost, where a government officer
stands posted in every port to attach
to the dutiable objects a tax of from
30 to 80 per cent, which must be paid
before it can be offered for sale.
When it gets into the hand of
the ultimate consumer it has cost
of transportation and merchants' profit
added. When the people hear a pro
position so plain and indisputable as
this, is it to be presumed that they
are fools in understanding, or so apa
thetic in sensibility as not to awake
to their interest, or to resent the at
tempt to practice upon their igno
rance or credulity ?
lhis is wbat the Republicans are
playing upon when they insist so
vehemently upon the maintenance of
the doctrine of protection. Tbe Dem
ocrats respect the intelligence of the
people and sympathize in their dis '
tresses. The one party demands tbmi;
the people shall still be oppressed
that a few favored industries may
prosper. Ihe Democrats urge with
all their force that the tariff duties
shall be such only as is demanded by
the needs of the government. Ana
in this difference the issue is joined.
