Negroes VS, Irishmen.

1t seems that the "powers that be" at
Washington have been turning out Irish
men and putting negroes in their place,
and tho f0rp:er are very indignan; in con-
sequence. The TaJict-a we'll known and
recognized organ OF Irishmen il this coun-
.ry-.ells the following story, through a
correspondent, who writes from Washing
ton:
"There is a dead lock in political affairs
lere, ut this time, if We except the occa-
sional removals flom and appointments to
Office. The richest, and, perhaps most
remarkable ezplo:. in this way, happened
a week or SO since. Two worthy Irish
men, having families, were employed, up-
der Capt. Meigs, at Sl.25 per day each, to
attend the furnace in the House Of Repre-
seut.tive,. b. recent ac', the control
Of the apparatus was transferred to the
Clerk of the House, from Capt Mcig7.
An assistant to Mr.. Allen, named Carter,
and part editor and owner of the iaioa,
in the absence Of the principal, removed
the tUo Irish Democrats, and put two Nc
groes in their places. This is not all. lie
ever raised the pay of the Negroes to $50
per month. have not yet learned whe-
ther the darkies were free or slave; if the
latter, the motive of the change may be
inferred; ii the former, then negroes are
better citizens than Irishmen under Dem
ocrstic Administration or Democratic
House Of Representatives"
1t is intima.ed, that these Negroes are
slaue., belonging to some one who was eff.
fecsive in getting the English swindle
through Congress By the employment
of hia "chat,eis," he will pocket 500 4
month-no mean compensation. The af-
fair, however, has raised a howl through
out the Irish camp, and excited storm
of indignation, that it will trouble the
Administration to allay -Harrisbary Tel.
This reminds US of the Irish woman
married Bill Davis, black man, in pre-
ference to an Irishman who sought her
hspd. "Fo accounting for !astss."

An ilter2stf1g Discovery.

We see it stated upon what nav
he considered reliable authority. that
thirty thousand Christians have re.
Gently been .oaud on an island north Of
Celehes. Il has been rumored for q
time, that there was a Christian peo.
pie, forgotten and iorsaicn. which.
however, yet po,,c,ei three Bibles,
and continued siea Hast in the faith.
( When missionaries first landed Oh the
island. they met with q school teacher
and his pupils. who repeated in the
Malayan tongue As the heart pa1teth
after the watcr-prooSs. 20 panteth my
soul after Thee, o Lord"
No Bibles were found. but the most
precious promises Of the Bible written
upon the bark of trees. Thev knew
the Apostles Greed, and the HeideI.
burg Catechism, and had Christian
customs twenty churches and schools
yet existed. Through the instrumer-
tality of Pastor Heldring.'founder Of
the Magdalen Asylum at Siecnback.
and chief patron OF Inner Missions in
lioiIahu, 4oUf MISSIONARIES, who had
been educated under the venerable
GOsner, were sent out, aud three thou.
sand persons were baptized.
This IS certainly a most interesting
discovery. Theisland on which these
Christians were found belongs TO the
East Indian Archipelago. The Dutch
have for years had political rule in
this region. This may account for
the original Introduction of Chris.
tianity among this people, and for
the fact tia. the Heidelburg Cate
chisin was still found in their posses
sion. But still the particular time
and circumstances in which this intro.
duction took place may well challenge
special attention, and elicit investiga-
ton from those who have the leisure
and facilities for prosecuting it,

The St. Louis Election.

The entire vote for member of Congress

Berret Dem ocraD 1900

Breckenridge (American) 5,ll5
The election of Berret was secured, be.
yond doubt, by the grossest frauds. The
Democrat says: "a canvass Of ell the
poll.books shows the enormous total OF
1878, as against 1864 in 1856. 1t is
seen that Mr.. Blair has increased upon
his vote gradually at every poll, receiving
$500 this year, against 6,000 in 1856 /;
getting votes where the party strength lay,
and failing to get them where the opposi-
ton prevailed heretofore. Itthus demon
strates natural Increase on his ticket Of
500 votes. Mr.. Breckinridge also polls a
small number more than did Mr.. Ken.
net, (Am.) two years since. But, on the
other hand, Mr.. Berret finds his support
in lust those localities where his party
never had any strength, before, aud where
i, is known not to have it now. From
21sl, in 1856, it is forced up to $500 in
lS5s-a gain of nearly 5000 for the Ad-
ministration, when it must be conceded,
that, owing to the policy of the past year,
that Administration has in fact receded,
rather than advanced, in public favor,
during the interval. Breckenridge Is an
Anti Lccompton man, as much opposed to
the Kansas policy Of the President as Mr
Blair is. notwithstanding all the frauds
and ballot box stufings on the part oil the
Democrats, the Administration is still IN
