The Democrats never tire of telling the people how they are blessed by the Democracy. They enlace upon this theme in their newspapers, on the stamp, in private conversation, at all times and in all places. We are seized today with benev olent sort of impulse, which moves us to point out, to a grateful people just bow the Democracy has blessed knowing nothing of his wife white or otherwise, and intending in no way to endorse inter-marriage be tween the races, and wishing t please the negroe in thi House and to remove their prejudice against my party, niy brst impulse was to vote for the resolution, arid I bo indicated it by standing up; but when then wa some confusion, kn jwmg tha it was not unanimous and Bp mtatieou.-; that the compliment wa won-e than sounding bras and a tinkling c-v tu bal, and not wishing to In- iiiixt; up in the matter at the final com', J did not vote at all.

Within the last past sixteen mouths the Democratic party borrowed mon ey to the sum of $IIXi,0OU,W0. The money thus borrowed, was used to redeem, with gold, obligations that are redeemable by law, in coin that is, in either silver or gold. These obligations, when redeemed with the gold thus borrowed, were not can celled; but they were reissued; and . lit .1 II! so, tLere was audt-u to tne pumie debt ol the United States just $In--000,000, bearing interest at the rate of five per centum per annum. Thin $102,000,000, with the annual intei st of $3,100,000 equals $170,100,000; and this is the exact amount' of the debt additional debt put upon the country by the Democrats within the last sixteen months. 1 UK SIKCI A I.

Mr. Flack asked the gentle man if he was in lavor of educating the masses or the classes. "I am in favor of educating all.'' Mr. Turner said every appropriation made takes that much money out ol the public crib, ami that much away from the State's ability to provide for the public schools. hwart said: "t ou have made ample appropriation lor other insti tutions, and now reltise to give sanitary conveniences to the girls, which you give to the convicts to the State and to the young men of the university.

MR. MOROE'S KXI'LAN ATION. Bepresentative Monroe was one of the Democrats who voted, in the House, for the Douglass resolution. The following is his explanation of .a m . i 1 -v Unvote, it. all tne democrats in and as much goodness of heart, as Mr. Monroe shows, there would be some hope of the Democracy. 15at alas! alas! Mr. Monroe seems to stand quite alone in these respects.' If Mr. Alonroe shall teel quite isolated, we beg to call his attention to the fact, that his political chief, Mr. Cleve land, invited Mr. Douglass and wife to dine at the White House, during his first term. The .invitation wad accepted, and Mr. Mrs. Douglass were treated by this great Demociat with distinguished consideration. So Mr. Monroe, you are in splendid company in voting to honor Mr. Douglass. And there are few of those who are crying out against you said your associates, for your vote on the Douglass resolution, who would not stoop to black Mr. Cleveland's boots. "Mr. Speaker, I wish to speak for a minute or two to a question of per sonal privilege. Douglass ghost, like Banquo's, will not down at our bidding. I had hoped yesterday that this House, and the whole country, had heard the last of this matter, but, as I have been informed that on yesterday it was stated that I was publicly charged with having voted lor the famous resolution, and that I did not deny it, and as the rtpers this morning are full of it, wish to make a brief statement of the whole matter. ""When the resolution was offered, having no prejudice against Doug lass simply because ne was a negro, sadly in ueed of improvement, started to move away, these same scare-crow makers passed a law to keep him here. The scare-crow was too valu able to lose. We saw a typical negro laborer tne otner day. ins breecnes were i i ragged and patcned, ins coat was out at the elbow, his hair peeped out through a large hole in the top of his crownless hat. lie was bringinc to town a load of cotton drawn by an ox in a cart. lie had labored and toiled and lived on scant food, and was now changing into money all the surplus of his crop to go to the landlord. Nat a penny would be his. lUit he was happy aud cheerful. Through his black skin shone the light of content and he was a perfect p'ctureof docility and harnilessness. And thi3 is the Southern ecare-crow! The future Historian will write it dowu among the wild delusion?, the temporary in sanities that seem at interval i to possess mankind aud deprive them of reason. It would be a comedy were it not so nearly a traced v.

They were violating thejr own consciences when they voted for it. Mr. Jtascoe said it had been stated that Mr. McClanimy's position on this bill meant political ostracism. He did not think so. He admired his bravery lor standing up here solitary and alone so for as the Democrats were coiiet-ru-ed, and advocating what he believed was for the best interests of his own people, but he could not vote for the bill. . The bill passed its second reading by a vote of 52 to 47. Mr. French inoved to suspend the rules and put the bill upon its final passage. - The motion prevailed.
