Mr.. DOOLITTLE rep. Wis., said when the bin
abosbing Slavery in the District Of Columbia was
before the Senate, and ndment was offered BY
the Senator from Kentucky, be made some remarks,
and said he could not support that amendment; but
the correspondent Of The NeT- York Tunes said b

Tribune actually ssid he voted against the BILL and
made remark that all the Republicans voted for It,
lie should not have noticed it. IL this was the first
time that that journal had nisrepresented him. The
editor Of that Journal was receiving the patronage Of
the Republican party 10 the Post-OtRce at Chicago

Senator from New-Hampshire said yesterday that

crease of the negroes. He proposed to figure with
the increase Of whites was 3S.12 per cent the IN

was 1897; total increase, 1888. The Increase Of

The tuunsge Of the United States would carry nearly
the whole colored population in one trip. These
statistics show another thing, that free blacks do not
incTed,e half As fat as slaves, and the slaves were
set free, the increase would very mnch diminish.
Two steamboats, running from New-Orleans or
Beaufort lust across the Gulf could carry away the
increase OF this population IL was impossible for
the people of the Slave States 10 consider the cues
ton Of emancipation without colonization. Even
now in spite of all the attempts to prevent it, the
importation Of negroes into Cuba stolen from A.

ator from Virginia Wiley. No matter If there
were differences Of opinion with that Senator, 20

he lDooliiiel gave him the band OF friendship, and
told told Lim 10 take courage, for better days are
coming for the Republic. He referred TO the great
emigration OF various peoples, such as the exTds 81
the Hebrews and the emigration Of the Norihment 70

only another species Of Slavery. He believed, at
