was anevenum aay. T
Tbe Republicans' rebellion to the
new Administration has signalized
itself and is now in full blast, with
Blaine at the bead and Cameron and
Conkling as lieutenants. The debate
on Kellogg's case began with a legal
and dignified argument from Mr.
Bayard against the swearing in of
Kellogg. Blaine seized tbe occasion
to put himself at the head of the ul
tra element, embracing the carpet
baggers and scalawags, who are as
serting themselves against President
Hayes, i
His advocacy of Kellogg, for
whom personally he cares nothing,
was merely a means to an end. As a
senatorial "display his performances
were more brilliant than usetul. His
voice resounded through the hall as
he was interjecting a harangue into
Mr. Bayard's speech, and when that
gentleman was doue speaking, he
once more threw down the gage of
battle to Mr. John Sherman by de
nouncing the proposed abandonment
of the Southern Republicans. He
referred, with indignation, to the let
ter of Messrs. Evarts and Stanley
Matthews, requesting Gov. Chamber
lain to get out the way. Mr. Blaine's
loud and senatorial style was exactly
suited to win applause from the gal
leries, which were crowded with Rad
icals.
He succeeded in securing this
cheap and unsubstantial tribute, but
in the Senate be made visibly a bad
impression. Tbe style was swagger-
in? and unsenatorial. Morton and
Conkling looked displeased at having
the leadership snatched from their
hands by this new-comer. Mr. Sher
man, though visibly annoyed, show
ed much tact by letting Blaine beat
the air with his noisy rhetoric, and
made no reply. But the speech was
a new declaration of war against tbe
Administration in an attempt to gaff
it by its owu professed friends, be
fore even a Cabinet had been an
nounced. As an endeavor to renew
the fires of sectional hatred and pas-;
sion, the speech was cold-blooded ana
revolting to patriotic men of both
parlies. The vote was a defeat for
Kellogg by 35 to 29. He was sent
to the committee on Privileges and
Elections, and is hopeful of an early
report and being installed.
Mr. Conkling is evidently organ
izing for a fight on Evarts and
Schurz. Cameron will probably aim
to scalp the whole set. This is his
avowed pur-pose. They say that John
Sherman is responsible for the other
appointments, and that they are
"going for him" on general principles.
I am told that a majority of the Re
publican Senators were talking yes
terday against these Cabinet nomina
tions, but I much doubt if a majority
will go so far as to vote against them.
We thus have a furious and vin
dictive attempt by the ultras to whip
the Administration back into the same
wretched groove of sustaining the
carpet-bag government and thieves I
upon which Grant's Administration
was wrecked. Th Democratic Sena
tors hold tbe balance of power and
can give the victofy to either party. I
Both wintrs of the Rennblioims are
making advances to them and are
soliciting their support. Some of the
orthern Democrats want to reject
'lie nominations, basing their position
n the illegality of Hayes' title to the
Presidency, but the Southern Sena
tors are most decidedly of anather
opinion. They argue that if in such
a contest they were by their votes to
give tbe victory to the extreme wing
of the Radicals, and thus force Hayes
back under their yoke, when he is
trying to break loose from them, they
would not be forgiven by their con-
fitituency. I know this is the view of
th
e ablest Southern Senators, and I
believe the Southern Senators will
generally take this iew when the
issue comes up in the Senate, Their
duty seems to be very plain.

Washington, March 7 4 P. M.
Mr. Bayard's speech on the ad mis-
flion of KTellogg was a very powerful
effort. He completely demoralized
Blaine, and stated that tbe fate of
Louisiana was now entwined with the
life of the nation, and that the fall of
liberty in that State would necessarily
cause the downfall of freedom in the
country.
Grant was present, and sat listen
ing to the denunciation of himself

Tbe Colored Insane Aaylaui.
A correspondent of the Raleigh Observer,
writing from this city in relation to the lo
cation of the proposed colored insane asy
lum, has this to say in favor of the propo
sition made by Colonel Mcllhenny, of Wil
mington: "In the first place, the city of Wilming
ton is one of the healthiest places in North
Carolina; and when I say this I speak ad
visedly, knowing that the mortuary statis
tics wiu xullv bear me out in what i say.
The site offered is a most eligible one, being
on high and dry land, and as the commit
tee say admirably adapted for building
sites, and convenient to wood and water.
As for the building, that is yet to be erected,
and can of course be arranged precisely as
the proper authorities may direct. In ad
dition to this, perhaps, no place in tbe
State is of more easy access to tbe popula
tion from which the inmates of the asylum
will come, than is Wilmington. Tbe only
question, then, it seems to me, Messrs. Edi
tors, is whether the Legislature intends to
make any . provision at all for the colored
insane of tbe state, if it does Wilmington
is the place; certainly, at least, aia tne
Legislature preceding this one think so.
for if I mistake not it appropriated $10,000

or other was not called for.
