A great deal of discussion has lieen going ou for two years over this caw. la the Senate on Wednesday Sen ators Spooner and Ihuiiel, on opRi aite nil lm of tbe que.tion, made tbe principal 8 pew he. Tbe former defended the ltcpuhlicau policy iu relation to free and eUiU citizen ship, without regard to racial preju dices, and the latter declared that the policy of the elevation of ne groes to biph posit ioiia as contrary to the established law of centuries, that the Anglo Haxou race is the chosen people to govern the world. After the doors were closed Senator (lalliuger, who bad charge, of the Doiuiuatiou, culled attention to the several times the nominal ioii bad beeu sent to the Senate, and the long period it bad been prevented from coming to a vote. Senators Latinicr and (iorman discussed the question of senatorial courtesy, sav iug that Senator Tillman, who is opposed to the nomination, is now ill at his bonie in South Carolina and unable to be present. Senttor Spooner then contended that the Republican party should not lie aked to surrender its convictions as to the right of the uegio to lie a cili.en, aud as such he is entitled to participate in the government. He mid the negro had been a good citizen, had not been lacking iu soldierly or iu any form of defense of the country, and that it is ask ing -too much of the Republican dices in the South, and at the places where negroes reside iu great uuuibcr.

The eighteen -months-old son of Mr. iiml Mrs. Lucius Ri ll was run over by the Southern's west-bound freight train last Saturday afternoon uImiiiI n mile ami a half bevoml Riverside, ami so injured that it died nit hour ami a half later. The accident was a very distress ing one nml enlists the deepest sym pathy of the iMiblio for the parents of the child. Magistrate Caskey held an inquest over the ImmIv of the child, mid the snhstatiro of the testimony brought out liefore his jury was, that a short while iM-fore the time the freight train was due along there, Mrs. Hell went out to the lot and was gone only a few minutes. When she re turned the child had gone out or the house. She immediately went out in search of the little fellow. She soon saw the two dogs that usually fol lowed the child around the premises down on tlie railroad, nio Knew then that thechild was near there ami went as fast as she could toward the railroad track, but ln-fore she could reach the child, or even ln-fore she saw it, the cruel train had passed over its tender little body and sev ered its right arm, crushed and man gled its 1 -ft leg, crushed its skull anil cut a gash across its face and mouth. The ior, distressed mother was the first to reach the cHM after the train passed over it. The train crew and several persons w ho were near by were uim the ground in a few seconds mid rendered such as sistance as they could to the dis tressed mother, Mr. Hell himself being in Lancaster ut the time of the acci dent. The engineer saw the children on the track, and, liciug on a heavy down grade, put on his air brakes, blew for the hand brakes and re versed his engine in his attempt to stop tlie train: and as the train slowed down the fireman jumped dow n off the engine and attempted to run ahead of the train and rescue tlie child, but he could not reach it in time.

Two years ago two men from Chi cago were the guisls for a day of an extremely rich and prominent old man in Memphis. Their host had iM'en a member of Forrest's famous avalrv during the war, and was noted as a fire-cater. One afternoon the old man and his two Northern guests hoarded a street car together it one of the principal street corners in Memphis. It happened that one side of the street car was pretty well tilled. Al one end of the other scat half a dozen people wen sitting, leaving more than enough room to accommodate the new comers. Hut midway in this vacant space sat a young and loudly iressed negro man. The young negro looked up as the three white men entered the car, but made no sign of moving over so as to leave space for the three of them to, sit down together. The old South, erner said nothing, lie sat down In side the negro, put his hand into his waistcoat, pocket and pulled out a small and dainty penknife. IVIili erately he oicned the smallest blade of his knife alsuil half an inch lung - and reaching over jablicd the ne gro 111 tlie leg Willi 11. 1 lie negro gave a wild yell of terror and leaped from the car. Sull calmly mid dc liberatcly the old man closed his knife, put il bark in his waistcoat pocket, and, with a coiiitly gesture to his two friends from the North, who were slill standing, said: "Sit down, gentlemen." Nor did he ever again refer to the incident. As for the two men from the North, they were ton greatly as tonished to call attention to it time, but it has turmsl warmer and we l''k for the seed yet to spring up. We went wandering down the meadow lane (so to ss-ak) on the Irautiful Suiklav morning past. We heard the sw.-et songs of the various kinds of birds singing merrily 111 tin forest; we saw the cattle fitilllig on the hillsi le and the U-astsof burdiii that seemed lo lie g!ad for a day of rest. We turned our thoughts to ward the sourer from whence coiia lh all good things to enjoy.

Sometimes at ten o'clock at night we are inspired by a few notes of praise from a mock ingbird, to remind us that we are not alone in the. world.
