W.sniNr.TON, Jiinuar.v Xi. SKNATIJ.
When the Rcnnte met the gnllerirH were
cni'vdcd with 8)cctiitors in nniicipntion
of n treat in the promised khtIi of Mr.
Infills in oppomtion to the hill to en
cournnc the cmiurntion of the colnrcd
K.'ople trimi the United Sinus.
Mr. Vest presented the credentials ol"
Win. A. Clark and Martin Martinis ns
scimtors-clret from the Stntcof Mimtnnn.
Thev were rend nnd referred on Mr.
Vests' motion to the committee on privi
leges and elections.
On his motion, nlso, four gentlemen 1
clniininK t' 1 M-nntors-clect were ml
mittcd, I iK'iiilinK conlciitl to the privi
leges of the floor.
Un motion of Mr. Dolph, the senate
lull for nn immediate appropriation ol
$"iOO,000 for the continuance of im
provements ut the mouth of Columbia
river, was taken up and passed.
Mr. Gorman said that while he would
not antnuonise the bill, he would oppose
unv further specilic appropriations until
all'tnc public works were considered in
the river nnd harbor bill.
A mmiU'r of bills on the cnlendnr, were
passed; mmm); them, one estiiblisliinn
a li".ht station at Ilillsboro Inlet, Florida.
At o'clock Mr. Infills rose to speak
tiiiou Mr. llutlcr'a neKro emi;riitioii lull.
At this time there wns scarcely a va
cant seat in the galleries, except as to
the diplomatic gallery in which there
were only half n dozen seats occupied.
There hiid nlso been numerous admis
sions to the lloor of the senate.und there
wascousciiiently a great buzz and hum
of conversation nil over the chamber.
When Mr. Inealls rose and asked lor
the reading of the bill in lull, the noise
and contusion instantly ceased ami lcr
lect stillness succeeded. He opened his
SKtvh in n clear, ringing voice, saying:
Mr. President: The nice to which we
belong is the most arrogant nnd rapa
cious, the most exclusive nnd indomita
ble in history. It is contiucring mi un
conureublc"racc, through which alone
man bus taken iosessiou of the physical
nnd moral world. To our rncchiiinnnity
is indebted for religion, for literature, fur
civilization. It hasn genius fnrcoiiiuest.
for politics, for jurisprudence, anil lor
ndministrntion. The home nnd family
are its contributions to society, ludi-
nluulism, Irntcrnity, lilwrly ami citial-
ity have laen its contributions to the
State. AH other races have leen lis
eiiciiprs and its victims. This is not the
time nor is it the occasion to consider
profoundly the interesting cpicstion ol
the unit v of the raws. It is sulhcient to
snv that, either by instinct or design.
the Cnucasian race at every step ol its
progress from barbarism to enlighten
ment has rcliiscd to mingle its blood, or
to assimilate, with two other great
human families (the Mongolian ami the
African I and has K-rsistenlly rejected
niliilteration. Mr. Inunlls went oil to
siH'ak of the triumphs accotnplUhtd by
the exiles of J'lymoulli and Jamestown
who hud ventured on this continent nu
hitherto untried experiment a paruilox
of government in which those who rule
are those to be governed, ('iiilrrthcshield
of the American government, he said,
every faith had found its shelter, even
creed n sanctuary and every wrong re
dress. It had resisted the rancor ol
party spirit, the violences of taction,
the perils of foreign immigration, the
collisions of civil war uud the jealous
menunce of foreign nnd hostile animus.
He nuotcd Irom Mr. John llrighl s siR-ecn
(during the civil war,) in which Mr.
bright said: . .
1 tee another ami n brighter vinon
Isrfure my gaze. It may lie it vision, but
I cherish it. I see one vast cnuleilcriition
atrrtehini! from the frozen North to the
glowing South, mid from the wild bil
lows ol the Atlantic in ineeaiiuer wmeia
of the Pncilic mam, and I si one Koplc.
one laiiguuge, one law and one laith; uud
all over that wide continent the home
of freedom mid the relugc lor the -
pressed ol every race and every clone .
Mr. Itignlls proceeded: On the thresh
hold olour second tvntury we are con
fronted with the most lorinidable nnd
portentous problem ever submitted to a
free people lor a solution; complex, un
precedented, involving the social, moral,
political considerations, party suprem
acy, und in the estimation of inaiiy.
though not in my own, theexistenceof our
svslein ol government, us solution win
demand all resources and the sliitesman-
liin of the present uud of the Hit tire lo pre
vent a crisis that may Iwccme a catastro
phe. It should la? npiironehcd withcaudor,
Willi solemnity, wiin pairnmi- nn...m.,
with learless scrutiny, without subter
fuge and without reserve. Let me state
i lite hniLMliiirc I I one of Ihe most hril-
iinul, most impassioned and powerful of
ull orators of the South, now iiumriu
nalelv no more. When Henry W. firmly

Irom the Soiilhcril lirmanietit. Sir. Ill
galls therriiHin avnl to the clerk's desk
nnil had reiidmiextructfroin.Mr.tirndy's
oration before the Huston Chamber of
Coimnerce nnd then went on to say:
Let nie stnte the arithmetic ol this jiroh
Icin, In I KU0 there were in the t uiled
Stules 4,4-4.0,0110 negroes, slaves and
m. In 1870 there were 4.4HO.I KiO : in

which, I say in pnssiug, can only lie ac

I1 v there will not I less than liliecn mil
lions of (lie liluek mid colored nice on

the problem is still fiirlhtTcnmpliciitcd
hv the fact that thev lire gregarious.
they instinctively separate themselves
into their own communities, with their
own hubits, their own customs, their
own mctliodsof lile. They worsbipscpar
nlely. They lire taught separately. The
line of cleavage between Ihe whiles and
blacks is liecoiuiug cousiuuuy more ins
tinct und iwrccptihle. There is neither
amalgamation iiornhsorptioit nor assimi
lation. Politicully, they are nllilialed
with the victors in the line civil war.
Socially nnd by locality and residence
thev are associated with the vauotiiahed.
Will the exK-ritnent Unit has failed else
where succeed here? Can the black race
exist as citizens of the I'nited Suites tin
terms of political eiiialily with the Cau
casian nice ? And if not, why not ? Fred
llouglns, the most illustrious living rep
resentative of Ihe negro race (greater, I
Hunk, liv lus Laucasiati reuilnrceiiicni
than by his African blood), once said lo
me that he thought ns prejudice anil so
cial and political untagonismdisapK'ared
the races would blend, coalesce, and lie
come iiouirogcncous. I do not agree
with him. There is no natural affinity
lietween the races. This solution of the
problem is impossible. The relations be
tween Ihe sexes in time of slavery were
compulsory. The hybrid was the product
ot relations between while miners ami
black mothers, and never between black
fathers and white mothers, and the infer
ence from that result (etlmiigrnphicnlly I
is conclusion of that cpicstion. Such u
solution, in mr judgment, would perpetu
ate the vices of both races and the virtues
of neither. There is no blood poison
so tntal as the adulteration of race. The
colored eoplc, be continued, are hen-;
they me natives; they arc citizens; man
liir iiinii they are our political riuals.
They came here involuntarily, ns prison
ers ol war, captured in fight. They lire
of ancient lineage genuine F. F. Vs.
(Laughter.)
Alter praising the colored people for
their fidelity to tlieSouthdiiriiig thewnr,
he said: h' seems incredible that grati
tude should not hnve defended and
shielded them Irom hideous and in
describable wrongs nnd crimes of which
thev have been for a uuartcr of a
century the guiltless and unresisting vic
tims. I lie snmv impulse wmcn maue
iliem loyal to- their masters throughout
the war lias made litem faithful to their
deliverers since. Their allegiance to the
putty of Lincoln and (Irnnt is (icrsistent
and unswerving. Their instincts were
more inlnllible than reason. They have
voted with their friends.
Four solutions of the problem, he said,
had been suggested emigration, exter
mination, ubsorption and disfranchise
ment lint there was still n fifth solution
which had never been tried; and that so
lution was justice. I .ipiieal to the South,
he exclaimed, to try the cxerimcnt of
justice. Stack your guns, oien your bal
lot boxes, register your voters, black
and white; and i I, after the exicriment
has been fairly and honestly tried, it np
iwiirs that tlie African nice is incapable
ot civilization, mid it it nptenrs thai the
complexion burnt upon him by nu Indian
sun is incompatible with freedom, 1 will
pledge mysell lo consult with you about
some measure of solving the race prob
lem, but until then nothing can be done.
The citizenship of the negro must Is; ab
solutely recognized. His right to vote
must lie admitted, and the ballots that
he casts must lie honestly counted. These
are essential preliminaries, conditions
precedent to any consideration of the in
terior uud fundamental ouestions ol race
eipiality in the I'nited States, North or
South. Those who fired the slaves ask
nothing more; they will hecontent with
nothing less. The exieriment must Ik
lan k : ru il. This is the starting point anil
this is the goal. The longer it is deferred
the greater will lie the exasperation, and
more doubtful the final result.
As Mr. Ingalls took his seat he ws
again loudlv applauded. He had spoken
exactly two hours. Without attempting
anv other business, the senate at 4 p. in.
adjourned till Monday.

Mr. Hrcwcr, of Michigan, introduced a
bill lor the construction of public build
ings by conlrnct. Kclerrcd.
The house then went into committee ol
the whole. Mr. Iturrows, of Michigan, in
the chair, on the customs administrative
bill.
The bill having been re.nl at length. Mr.
MeKiulry saitl the bill, as its title indi
cated, wiis purely an administrative bill,
ami was not intended to change the rate
ot duties. The ncccKsitv lor the simplifi
cation of the laws in relation to the col
lection of revenue had la-ea first called to
the attention of congress by Secretary
Folgcr. A bill with this purpisc in view
had lavn introduced in congress by Mr.
Hewitt, of New Vork, mid h:nl received
the npprovalof the waysand mcausi-om-mil
tee, and subeiiientlv the Morrison
uud Mills tai ill bills hail contained sub
stantially the provisions ul the h ailing
measure.
Mr. Carlisle, while heaibnilied tlint the
provisions of this bill writ- substantially
the same as those contained in the Mor
rison nnil Mills bills, said that the gentle
men who nisi ced with him in his tariff
views might not feel themselves in a posi
tion lo give support to the bill while
simidimi alone. There were certain pro
visions which, while they did not in terms
cliaiiL'r the rales of duty, would neces
sarily increase tl duly. The restoration
ol duty on packiigesaiiilcovcrirgs would
iiicrense the revenue to the extent of
$.",ii00,0Oll r $0,000,000 a year, lie re
garded as uniusl the proposition of the
bill which miioes the same rate of duly
on imods brouiiht here inn damaged con
dition us on goods in a htIccI condition.
Mr. McKinlcv aitul that anadmmistrii
live bill was absolutely necessary for nn
lionesl admiiii-trntion of the law.
Mr. Ilmi! cv. ol Maine, contended that
it was just and euuitablr that the cost of
the package which was necessary to lit
the goods for transixirlation should be

On motion of Mr. Post, ol Illinois, mi
amendment was adopted providing that

the merchandise was inanulacturcd or

to the News and Observer from Louis

Wasiiincton, January 21. The major
ity report of the hoiise committee on
elections was submitted to the house to
day in the contested case of Smith versus
Jackson, Irom the Fourth district of West
Virginia. Jackson obtained the (lovern
or's certificate, mid now holds his sent,
both of which were contested by Smith,
who claims that he was entitled tonsent
in the fust instance according to the
votes legally cast. The report says that
it is very plain to the committee that the
contestant was elected upon the face of
the returns, and therefore entitled lo a
certificate from the (iovernor. The re
port ihen elaborately mid in great detail
reviews the testimony submitted, and in
conclusion asserts that Smith wns fairly
elected and is entitled to n sent. Mr.
Crisp will probably submit the report ol

77ie Ohl 1'enr has drawn to a close,
nnd with the beginning of the New Yenr
we wish to thunk the public for their
putronuge and recognition of our efforts
to do our full duty. We are fully con
scious that it is to them that we owe the
lint? pa ted success of the past yenr, in
which our business has been more than
doubled, and we can only regard it as a
new evidence that our business maxims
me such us to cause our customers to
have confidence in us nnd attract those
who are cautious in dealing with any
I'hnrmHcist until they have become fully
assured of the nature and extent of his
business principles. In out dealing with
the public we reulite that the most scru
pulous care ami honesty are paramount
in importance. If these are virtue in
nil ordinary business transactions, they
become sacred duties in Pharmacy, and
without them no one can lie a true Phar
macist. The health, maylie tlie lite, 01
those dealing with the Apothecary de
tiends upon them. Hi consider it our
most sacred duty to shun adulterations
nnd spoiled as well as inferior drugs.
They constitute an evil from which Phar
macy suffers no less than the public. The
-viV is not a new one, inaugurated in lute
vears; it has existed as long as there
were men wAose cupidity was stronger
than their sense of justice, und it will
loubtlcss continue as long as there may
'ie men with conceptions of business so
vague that theyexiect to purchase gold
for the money value of dross. There are
no other moral principles required for
transacting a Pharmaceutical business
than are necessary for any other business.
Unwavering integrity that remains unin
'luenced by the visions of g(dd along the
road of ipiestionuble or deceitful prac
tices is the only foundation for success
that is worthy the name; it is so in
TVery pursuit, and more particularly in
Pharmacy, where us a matter of tieces
iity it must lie combiiml with constant
vigilance in nil directions, so as to secure
all possible safeguards.
These arc the principles which we have
endeavored to live up to, und to which
we trust our increasing success is due.
We hope our former patious will show
the same kindness townid us in the fu
ture that they have in the past, knowing
that no action ot ours will ever make
them regret u continuance ol their fa
vors. Yours truly.
