We printed yesterdny morning " the con cluding part of a fine speech by Senator Uayard on the Presidential election bill. Our readers are aware that Mr. Bayard wis our of three Democrats to support this measure, which on ifs'fute, whatever its occult tendency, enures to the benefit of out- partj.CChis diinjtoished, gentle man, who has been prominently' mentioned for the Democratic nomination for the -.'Presidency,' is accustomed 1o vote on questions which have not been decided in caucus as his mind and .heart dictate, with little if any reference to his personal fortunes, lie is one of the manliest tnen in this land, and in Congress there is no nobler spirit. True to his con victions of dutv, he is yet firm in his alle giance to party. In all its glorious his tory .tlicDeiaocratic party has had no truer exponent bTits principles than he who' is so fitly named by every tongue, the Chevalier Bayard. Were Mr, Bayard iu accord with South crn opinion on the currency questions of the day, there is no gift in the disposition of the people the Hotith would not be wil ling should be Ue.-tuwed ou.hini.. But his Uxiu viwm uie ihoHi - of Wall Street, and bet ween tl at locality and us there is a great gulf fixed. It is greatly regretted down here that there should be any differ ence between this lofty. fhian and our peo ple, and th hote is , cherisheVl in many breasts that be I ore the dawn of-1880 the mis .Table money questions will either be settled or settle themselves. Till: IHSri SSIOX MOXDAY. Despite all the colored reports in the great "independent" papers of the North, Mr.. Blaine has boon very badly used up in the recent discussions. First Senator Thur man 'and then Senator Lanuir' met him on the argumentative arena, and vanquished him. When next, with the superciliously extended help of Conkling, he turned upon other Senators, a lew days later, he was op posed dignifiedly amiably by Senators Han som, Butler, Bayard, Eustisand Merrimon. In attempting to be sharp inthe discussion with Ceneral Ransom he showed both his lack of refinement and his need of some thing to say worth listening' to. But the chivalric Senator from North Carolina, while. exhibiting the highest courtesy and forbearance, made him disclaim that he had insinuated fear on the part of Southern Senators. . The speech of Senator Ransom, elsewhere printed in The Six this morning, reflects great credit upon him, and is really a fine piece of unstudied eloquence. Always when there is need, and only when there is need, the voice of M. W.. Ransom is heard in tho Senate chamber strongly appealing for right and justice in the accents of pa triotisiii and with words of peace. A FOUIi CALUMNY. Some ghoul, Simon Cameron or another, starts the silly but malicious story long since exploded, and never belieyed by any one who knew Gen. Hampton, that at the battle of Manassas Wade Hampton shot and killed Col. Jame3 Cameron, a brother of the ex-Senator from Pennsylvania, after Ctftieron had surrendered. A Federal soldier writing to the Boston Pbst finds it difficult to believe that Mr. Cameron made so absurd a charge in face of well known facts. The circumstances of Colonel Cam ron's death at the first Bull Run fight were fully brought. out in an investigation made bp the committee on the conduct of the war regarding alleged "rebcl barbarities." Colonel (merrJn'sordetfyfwhb1 wasby'him vat the -time, testified that, the regiment being under fire,' the colonel,, while giving an order to one of his company officers, was hit Tby a nfd&etr ball a'nd ' instantly killed ; .and never, spoke after he fell. But this fs not all. Henry Keener, of St. Jxmis, says : wai a 'toembfcr of the "Seventy-ninth ew York1 regiment; of "which Col. Cameron was colonel.- I .was "at Bull Rmi yvfth hitn.' I was 'notUen "feet away when he fell, and was the.first "to raise him up. The rebels were three "or four hundred 'yards away cannonading us, and we could not see them, they being "screened by the trees and bushes. Col. "Cameron fell after two or three rounds "had been fired at lis, and long before our "regiment was forced to surrender." This evidence to show that Wade Hamp ton could not have been guilty of the'al leged atrocity ought not to be necessary. No honest man, not blinded by his preju dices, could believe that it was possible for him to have shot Col. Cameron or tiny one else in the cowardly and barbarous manner alleged. But it seems to be expected of mm Southern men to prove their innocence of i every charge that an irre?pcris;b!e and reckless enemy may bring against them. Just at this time, wfeen the distinguished Governor of South- Carolina is lying at the point of death, the revival of this exploded calumny is the refinement of cruelty, if we may be permitted the use of the word re finement in any such connection. THE BLAI.XE Bl SI.M:sXaM1 . That muscular sinner, - Blaine of Maine, continues to pop upnn his Senatorial teat something and insist on investi which he alleges is wrong in the Southern elections. As nothing is ever right in the South, in Mr. Blaine's eyes, we do not know that it is necessary to investigate anybody or anything. It would not satisfy Mr. Blaine. Besides, it would consume time and money. Still, if investigation there must be, let the bill providing for it be amendeded as proposed by Mr. Thurman. This amendment has been twice presented in different shapes in Tub Sex, but, cnthe principle that it is hard to have too mseh of a good thing? its provisions are again stated "The committee." it reads. "hall "also inquire whether any citizen of aijy ' State has been dismissed or threatened "with diam'jsgal from employment or depri "vation ol any right or privilege by reason "of his vote or intention to vote at the "recent elections, or ha? been otherwise in "terfered with, and to inquire whether, in "the year 1878, money was raised by assess ment or .otherwise upon ' federal office "holders or employes for election purposes, "and under what, circumstances and -by "what means, and if so what amount was "so raised, and howthe same was expend "ed, and, further, whether such assessments 'wtre or not m violation Ol law: and snail "further inouire into th .- 1 , .. f action and con- f "duct of United States supervisors of elec "tion3 in the several States, and as to the "number of marshals, deputy marshals and "others employed to take part in the con "duct f the said elections : in what States "or cities appoiuted, the amount of money "paid or promised to he paid to them, and "how or by whom and unde what law and "authority." If the investigation is to be more than political investigations have been recently these subjects must be" included. It is true Mr.Blaine and his Radical frie nds would Hot like to have these matters 'too closely scrutinized. But in a Congress like the pres ent, one house of which is Democratic, there is every need for feeding the North and Smith out of the same spoon, and Southern Democrats in Congress must insist on this being done. Bull-dozing by the officers of the Federal government" or by Republi can employers in Massachusetts, is sur rounded by no sanctity that does not. sur round it when practised, as alleged, by Southern whites on Southern blacks. Punish the scoundrel Davenport first, and the South is williug for any committee to sit on anv "outrages" committed here. It may be a very nice thing for Mr. Blaine to stir up sectional feeling if he can, but let him remember that as "curses come home to roost," so injustice reaps its fitting reward, often very soon after the commis sion of the unjust act. The trouble with Mr. Blaine is that he is smarter than he is wise. Not greatly troubled with, conscience, he is yet not malignant enough to wiskto persecute the Southern people out of "pure cussedness." With him, this whole matter is "business," dramatically understood. It is business, too, in wfiice and emoluments hard cash. Mr. Blaine is death bent on being President. He is smart enough "'to think he can get to the white liAifsc by trimming the crimson nether raiment with gilt-edge, fringe, and shouting to the American people, "Hoop-la ! Here's your patriotism! In me see the eagle and the flag and the boys in blue and everythiug." Now this was a beautiful refrain a few years ago. But re cently the people of the North have tired of such war cries, and emotional politics is at a discount. .Practical as Mr. Blaiae is in methods, it is rather wonderful that he didn't see this ; but he didn't, and hereiu he was not wise. RANSOJI AM) aim:. Jjpeecliot Senator Hansom Deliv ered iu the Senate Dec. lGtli. Mr. Ransom. Mr. President, I did not intend to have anything to say in this stage of the debate, and I only arise now to ad dress myself to the amendment of the Sen ator from West Virginia. The Constitu tion of the United States, in' the amended articles, articles, article C, has provided that "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy tho right to a speedy and pub lie trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and .fo be informed ot the aature and cause of the accusation ; to be confronted with the witnesses against him ; to have Compnlsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his. defense." It would be idle for me at this time of our history to say that that was a wise or necessary provision in the organic law of this country, .Our forefathers, with some little claim to patriotism" and wisdom, in serted it in the Constitution as one of the essentia securities of -freedom and good government. If that security was necessa ry to be placed in the Constitution of the United States for the protection of the humblest individual in this land, ought it not to be respected in a proceeding in the nature of an inquiry or prosecution intend ed by its authors to embrace at least one third of the people of this great country, and, if I understand the resolutions of the Senator from Maine,0that may lead to changes in our laws and perhaps in the Constitution of the country ' itself ? ' One of the resolutions of the Senator, from Maine is: "Resolved, That the select committee be further instructed to inquire and report whether it is within the competency of Con gress to provide by additional " legislation tor the, more perfect security of the right of suffrage to citizens of the United States in all the Sftates of the Union. " Mr. President, in the judgment of the Senator from Maine, or in the judgment of the country, can anything be more import ant than the rights of citizenship, wnich Le charges have been violated; than the right of the citizen to suffrage, which he charges has been taken away ? And I ask if an investigation intended to affect those great rights, designed and declared to lead to new legislation upon that greatest of all subject., the rights of American citizen ship, ought not to be .conducted with the same prudence and the same forms and have around it the same safeguards of law that attend the prosecution of the humblest individual in this country for the moA trifling offence against its criminal laws? , . . . e t 1 tnaKe nanus uu iuc ceuiui iiuui Maine when he says that he intends that no anrer thall enter this debate. If 1 thought that what I said would destroy or ... 4. , . , 4lw , ' i would maintain a prudent and I bone patriotic silence to-day; but I trust the senator from ilame will paraon me wnen I tell him that, although declaring these j sentiments of peace he did not use the j moiit pacific arguments when, at the very i threshold of his last remarks here, he de- clared in the face of the history of the last j hundred years that tlu-re never had been j until since the war a free election in the j Southern States. If I thought proper, Mr. j President, I could take up that glovt. and j I think, feeble as I am, I could persuade j any American patriot to retire from the j proposition. 1 hope the day may be long j distant when party or sectional faction shall induce any man to believe or repeat j the utterance that the history of one half of this country for seventy years was -a continued violation of the principles of free election. If I thought proper to re tort, 1 might say it was a calumny upon our history. I shall say no such thing. 1 shall leave it to the considerate and pat riotic reflection of tho Senator from Maine to correct it at his leisure. "When all the -world have uncovered ; their heads to bow in reverence to the free ! dom of elections instituted and practised ! in this country by Washington. Jefferson, f Madison, and their great compatriots of j the Northern States, the Adamses and their compeers, it i.s too late ibr the S elm s' tor from Maine in this discussion puUicly L t A,... 4V...

' ! Uut, sir. 1 must ask pardon of the Sen ate for alluding to that matter. I wish 1 could have found it in my heart not to say one word about it. The Senator from Maine knows that I do not say it in the spirit of crimination or recrimination, but I assure him that is not tho way to secure peaceable relations in this country. Mr. President, last Wcdncsdav the Sen--ator from Maine, ujio before that day had introduced his resolntions of investigation, made his speech upon them. Immediately after his argument, the Senator from Ohio Mr. Thurnuin introduced his amend ment, and very brief remarks were made upon this-side of the Chamber; this morn ing the resolutions were again brought up by the Senator from Maine. A motion by a distinguished Senator on the Democrat ic side of the Chamber' to my the resolu tions on 'the ta'ole met with no response from his party friends of the Senate. Era- ment as the Senator from Pennsylvania Mr. Wallace is, highly esteemed by his associates on our f ide of this body as he is, occupying a high party position with us, so .desirous and so determined were Demo cratic Senators that this investigation should be f'uU and complete and early, that his proposition to lay . the resolutions on the table received "the smallest possible support only three votes from his party associates. , Wc showed them, from the North and from the South, that we were willing that this investigation should proceed, and that we would put no impediments in its )ath. The Senator from. South Carolina Mr. Butler remembering thet roubles' f he country and what had happened in his own State before a former committee of in vestigation, offered his amendment to the effect tha't the proceedings of the commit tee should take place with open doors, and upon that proposition a debate snranjr up. llis.amendment was lost by a tie vote of the Senate. A proposition almost sub stantially the same but in different form wis renewed by the Senator from West Virginia. Mr. Davis. Now let us see how it stands. If I understood the Senator from Maine correctly in reply to the Senator from South Carolina that wrong might be done in consequence of this investigation being conducted with closed doors, the Senator from Maine asserted that both parties, in fact that all parties in this Chamber should be represented upon the committee and that the wishes and.views of the minority would be of course respected ; and I under stood him also to say that when a witness, was examined before the committee if in the judgment of any member of the com mittee it- became necessary that other par ties should be called to reply to what the witness had said it was in the power of the committee to.call the other witnesses or the parties accused. I think I am right. The Senator assents to what I have said. Now, Mr. President, that being so, I ap peal to the Senate and I appeal to the Senator from Maine if the opposition to this amendment is not I mean it respect fully, but I mean it strongly a mockery. What protection will the Senator from Maine throw around his timid witness if as soon as he makes a statement in secret committee' a Democratic Senator discloses the fact to the local Democrats ? Will the circumstance that the testimony was given in secret make it less obnoxious to those who, it is charged, will resent it ? Is that protection to the. witness? Upon your theory of intimidation you must admit one of tw things: that you . cannot protect your witness or you cannot permit his evi dence to be diTulged. If the statements of the witness are to be divulged, then you furnish h'im no protection ; but you do this by your secret commission, yon impair the right of cross-examination and all the op portunities lor having the whole truth de veloped. The statements ef the witness go out garbled, they go out second-handed, they go out at best but deformed re flections. Days or perhaps weeks pass before the absent party can be heard, the accusers have departed, and the examination breaks down and you never get the truth. Now, we say, "pat en the light." , As the Senator from New jYork Mr. Conkling has so often said in this Chamber with-more than dramatic efTect,"turn on the lights." The Senator from Maine has called for the light. In his speech of last Wednesday he invoked the light on these transactions that the country might know what was tfrong and that tho wrong might be corrected. Now, when we meet the Senator and say ' turn on the lights," oh, no. says the Senator from Maine, nut as in a dark corner, cover us with curtains, .draw the veils around us, lock the doors, shut out the light, the light will conceal the truth, the light will suppress the facts. Mr. President, the Senator from Maine is wrong in that. I am too weak to ex press the sentiment. I wish I had greater power to present it this light, "this light of heaven, the first creation of the Al mighty, this light of day in the face of men is the great protection of all ; it is the . , T enemy of fraud ; it is the enemy of force ; j it is "the enemy of corruption; it is the 1 light of day that protects our homes, that protects our rights, that protects oir couris ' of justice, that protects every man in this I country. That light has oeen secured oy the Constitution. Lt it shine in this Chamber and in and through every act of the Covemment. I Mr. President, 1 do hot intend at this time to s tv what 1 intend at a fit season to tav in defence of the people of the bouth. 1 nave some etimes attempted 10 go iaai but I j-av tlrs. when that evidence comes . . cncn:, . rwrl :t. let it comf as a ray from the sun; let it come B t tl cre mav bo no doubt about its truth: let it corae'so that there may be lio room for controversy in this Chamber or elsewhere; let it be so unaccompanied by 'deccptien or concealment let it be so broad, in Lrrirht. so clar that my esteemed irietv! freni Illinois on my right Mr. Oglerbvj ai:d inv esteemed friend Irom Florida en mv hft'Mr. -Jones will b&th see it withoat doubts and without confus ion. I'nl-fs it is clear, open, free, itan furnish no instruction to the Senate or the countrv. Do not let it come here clouded, shrouded in mystery with these exceptions to it. I will s iv one other word, sir. I trust ! tint it wilfnot be necessary for the Senator ! from Maine, or any other Senator, to make , an assault upon tl'e Southern States. If j I thev feel it to be their duty to do it I shall I meet it as best I can. I .'hall endeavor to ; i tell the truth about that people, and the j ! truth will be their best defence; but I beg J 1 h ave here once for all I will not say it 1o ; ; tho Senator from Maine, became I will not ; do him tho injustice to say that it is in his j heart, but 1 .say to all that if there j thought anywhere, any expectation any i, where that anything can be said in this j Chamber, orintheother end of thiscapitol ! or ebev.hore in this country, that will pro ! voke the South to recrimination against the ! other sections' of this country, the gentle I men are mistake:!. I tell the country, I sp -aking for my own State and in part for 1 the StMith of which I am, that such is not our purpose. Senators from are to have war your fault, not that a .little over the Xorth. if you with us it shall be ours. You know twelve months ago it was in the power of southern men I will not say to have endangered this Gov ernment, l" will not harbor or utter thp thought ; but it was in our power to have given this Administration intense trouble. 1 think the country has said we acted pa triotically in the matter of the installation j of the present .President of the United j States. We could have imperilled the ere- ! ditofthe nation. We could, it we had been 'disposed as we have been misrepre sented, brought on revolution. We could have thrown impediment after impediment in the way of the healthy administration of this Government. We knew it, but we had no dream, no desiiv of doing it. We will never do it. We de-ire its pe ice. We love its Constitution, for our lorelnthers hau a We love its lion eat part m making it, or, tor we claim mat wc nau a cniet part in its illustration. We -expect to deserve its blessings, for we intend to be patriotic and true to it. We desire no sectional aggrandizement to your injury. We have felt enough of sectional domination to hate it, to shun it ; and if we had the power, which we know is imposs ossible, we would not i exercise it over you. It is a phantom that you have conjured up and that doss not exist with- us. All we desire is our right ful equality in the Government, to be let alone, to build up our ruined fortunes, to maintain our honor, and to do and to have justice. AYe do not menace your rights or any section or citizen. 3ut when you propose to investigate us, when you call up and impeach our States, Avhen you indict our people, when you de clare here, as the Senator from Minnesota does, that the rights of the colored people are denied, we meet you half way. AVe say "turn on the ligjit," dispel the clouds, see it all in broad, open day., AYill you deny us this ? Mr. President, this government has had the power to maintain itself against ad verse fortune. It has maintained itself with wonderful power and wonderful cour age. God forbid that it should go out to mankind and go down the stream of time forever that in this the' one hundred and second year of its independence the Amer ican Senate, representing the thirty-eight States of the Republic, has declared that the truth cannot be reached by an investi gation in open day. I do not and will not believe it. . Mr. Blaine Mr. President, I hold in my hand a paper from North Carolina, printed in Raleigh, the capital .of the State, a pa per devoted to the interests ot the Demo- cratic party, a paper which does me the honor to publish some remarks I made the other day in the Senate and which jicr-nm- panies their publication with some editorial ' mman)s -iV.-.i e i-t a e comments. lthout feel ihg the necessity of any elaboration of proof of the justice and propriety of all that I said the other day which the honorable Senator now calls, in question, I will read from the leading Democratic paper of his own State, as vindicating the truth of what I spoke. 1' will not inflict on the-Senate the whole of the editorial. Let one paragraph suffice : 'The South will resist" " The paragraph I allude to begins uto the bitter end.v AYhat the South is going to "resist to the bitter end" I do not exactly know, but perhaps the paragraph will show : 'The South wifl resist to the bitter end. This is unquestionably a white man's country, and white men" will unquestiona bly rule it. But for all that, we do not in- t tend that the negro race shall be deprived ! of the right of suffrage. It matters not how they exercise that right. AYe care little how the negro votes, or whether he votes at all. the State and the South will be Democratic, with or without his aid. But his right to vote must be maintained, for that right entitles North Carolina to three, and the South to thirty-five Con gressmen. Oar Northern brethren took a stick to beat us with; it has passed into our hands and we take infinite pleasure in breaking their heads with it." Laughter. . That is the answer which I read to the honorable Senator from North Carolina. Mr. Ransom I had read it before. Mr. Biaine You had not read it to the Senate. Mr. Kansom And I bad read the rest of the article, the whole of that editorial. Laughed Ilerscirto Death. At Providence, H. I., last week, Joshua Walker, colored, made the laughable mis take of salting down a purchase f pork with granulated sugar. This incited his wife to immoderate laughter, which con- tinued until she actually laughed herself to death . A Successful Sportsman.

LIXA. i The State Ext-cuthe Commutee congratu j lates the Democratic-Conrervative party of North Carolina upon the result of the reeent 1 Congressional elections at the North. These j elections clearly indicate three things w hich j are of consequence to us : First, that the peo ; pie of this country- aie dis.-atislu-d with the j Republican party anJ are iniviltii:r for the j Republican leaders to- afflict U loniriv with ; their ruinous measures arid fraudulent pra--, tees. Second, that the Nationals do not r.w-e j with popular favor, and, as a separate i r.uiii zation, have utterly, failed to !ii;tiT;f tin ;u- selves upon the country : and l:iny, that the ! fctr of the Democratic party i sti'.l in the ascendant, and th;' peopie are looking to tint party a. the only one capable ot restoring prosperity to the country, and able to admin ister. the government on those Constitutional and just principles, which are essential alike to the happiness of our citizens and fo the perpetuity of our institutions. Thus iu the elections held in eight States the Republicans have lost twelve members of Congress ; the Nationals have elected four; and the Demo crats have elected twenty-three, and have gained seven. These tacts demonstrate that the pe -pit in tend to invest the Democratic party with the full control of the National (iovernnient. The Senate of the next Congress will be Democ rat ie by a considerable majority, and it is only necessary for the Democrats of the South to remain steadfast in their allegiance to our or ganization, and our triumph will be complete. It is for us to determine whether the banner on which are inscribed Reconciliation, Home Rule and Financial Reform, thali trail in the dust, or thill be home on to victory. Every consideration of interest. 01 policy and of patriotism then urges us to prepare imuiesiately tor the approaching .olitical struggle. Be assured, fellow-citizens, that without preparation, it will be impossible to ac hieve success. Let us ot by our apathv, our juke warm- nets and indilFerence postpone the accession to power ot that party which alone has been able to cheek Renublican "eorruotion and to arrest the progress of oer government towards a centralized despotism. L,ct us do eteaalast in our uevotion to prin ciple, true to our organization and endeavor by every means to discountenance those inde pendents and disorganizes who oppose our worMiy standard-bearers freely and fairly chosen by the Democratic party in Convention assembled. In particular do we desire to repeat what we have so often urged the necessity of thorough local organization. It is the towii elrp committees who are charged with the most important of ail party duties. To them is committed the duty of supervising the election, and of devising means to bring out every Democratic voter to the polls. They ought to meet frequentty and advise and take counsel together how best to promote the for tunes of that party, on whose success depends so largely the prosperity of themselves and of their posterity. In every township, in' every neighborhood, there ought to be appointed a committee of active, efficient, and prudent party men, who will undertake to see that every Democrat in the precinct comes to the polls and casts his ballot for our nomlneee. We therefore urge this ipon the township committees; and if in any township it is ne glected, we appeal to our Democratic friends there to send their conveyances for all their neighbors who otherwise might not attend the polls. Let it be clearly understood in every locali ty that he who fails to vote for our nominee, gives half a vote to the Republican party, and that the Conservative who casts his vote for an independent is taking the surest means to break up and destroy the Only party which can give relief to our afflicted country. We warn our fellow-citizens that great ends can not be accomplished except at the cost of gome inconvenience, and olten through the sacritice of our pej sonal preferences ; and we appeal to every man who has the good ol the people j at hetart to yc a Porio". of W? ountry, and subordinating his individual . preferences, cast his ballot for the nominee of the Conservative party.
