WASHINGTON, January 29.-The Senate
to-day discussed the bill for the protection
| of ali persons, without distinction of color
or race, in their civil rights.
Mr.. Trumbull offered an amendment by
inserting that all persons of African de-
scent, born in the United States, are citi-
zens thereof, and made speech in support
| OF the bill.
Mr.. Salisbury replied, contending that
the liberties Of white men were entitled to
some consideration; that it was time to
cease shedding tears for the negroes.
A resolution was offered and referred to
tho Committee on Naval Affairs, rendering
the thanks of Congress to Admiral Farra-
gut and his officers for their conduct in
Mobile Bay, in August, 1864.
In the House, Mr.. Raymond, Of New
York, refuted the position of those who
main tanned that the Southern States were
out of the Union. This he denied, and
main tanned that Congress has no more
power to do anything against them than
against any other State. The Southern
States having reorganized, the only ques-
ton was as to the qualifications Of their
representatives. Congress should act sep
arntely in the cases from each district, and
admit those who can take the oath. We
policy IA well as patriotism should induce
their recognition. Hc said the House owed
it to their dignity to repudiate the select
Committee on Reconstruction. All tho
paper constitutions would not save the
country unless there was sufficient patriot
ism among the people.
WASHINGTON, January 29.-In his con-
versation with Senator last Saturday, the
President also remarked that he thought
precedence should be given to more i'm
portant and urgent matters of legislation,
which were essential for the restoration Of
the Union, the peace of the country and
the prosperity of the people. The above,
AZ we'll rs the remarks telegraphed yester-
day, are implicitly true.
Mr.. Sherman reported bill to grant o
million acres of public lands for the use of
the public schools Of the District of Column
bia.
Mr.. Julian offered resolution, which
went over, that the people demand trial
of Jefferson Davis and his execution If
guilty.
A recess of four minutes was declared.
Gen. Sherman was conducted to the Speak
er's chair, and introduced by the Speaker to
the House. Gen. Sherman responded.
Three cheers from the House were given at
the close Of Sherman's remarks.
The House then resumed It's debate ON
the constitutional amendment.
The semi-oftcal exposition ofthe Presi-
dents views on reconstruction and the
constitutional amendments, create great
excitement here.

~ Our friends of the ddpocut,
allude in terms of acknowledgment
to certain neighborly services it has
been our pleasant duty of late tc
render them and thereupon take
occasion to make complimentary men
ton of the Gazette and Comet.
Thank you, kind sirs ave owe
you one," and hardly know how to
acquit ourselves of the debt save by
rendering to you our sincere recipro-
cations ain kind" with interest at
compound rates.
What the AdUocate observes as to
the strange apathy which exists on
the part OF SO many Southern people
to support their home papers and the
curious anomaly Of disposition they
betray in patronizing SO literally the
pernlcious jacobinical papers pub
llshed in more northerly attitudes, is,
and always has been, alas ! too true.
Those kind of people profess to a
great love and preference for everv-
thing Southern, and are prone to
back their professions with the most
blatant and boisterous asseverat;ons
tearing we suppose, that unless thew
do so, they will not be thought "good
enough Southern" We have no faith
In that stripe nor in what they at
Tempt to pass current upon the cre-
dulity of the masses, and therefore
we know where to place them and
how to estimate them.
We shall rely upon such able and
influential journals as the Advocute,
and others of that class, to aid us in
bringing about reform in these
matters. Let us see if the noisy,
sensational jacobin press of the North
that are specializing so largely and
probably upon Southern credulity
by over much professions of love and
devotion to the interests of our "dear
people," and that other sIanderous
portion which are patronized through
an eager curiosity to "see what both
sides have to say"-are always to
take precedence in patronage over
our local papers.

DEATH OF Ex-Gov. A. b. ROMAN.
We regret to hear of the death Of
this distinguished and most estima-
BILE gentleman, which occurred sud-
denly in New Orleans on Sunday
last.
The Times of the so BUS speaks
Of this sad event:
While taking an after-dinner walk
for the purpose of visiting a friend,
he was attacked by disease of the
heart, on Dumaine street, between
between Bourbon and Dauphine
streets, and, falling on the sidewalk,
died almost instantly. Mr.. ROMAN
was born in Louisiana, and lived here
during his entire three.score years
and ten, honored and beloved by all
who knew him. He held the posi-
ton Of Governor Of his State for two
terms, and his last public service
was that of Peace Commissioner
one of the three sent. just before the
commencement of hostilities by the
Provisional Confederate Government
to Washington. His estimable widow
and three children, two sons and
daughter, survive him. At 4o'clock,
this afternoon, his remains will be
removed from the residence of his
son-in-law, Mr.. La Villebeuvre, II
Dumaine street, to the steamer La
fourche, for removal to St. James
Parish, where he will be left to his
last sleep, in his own family tomb.
Gov. ROMAN was II years of age.
He was elected Governor of Loui-
siana in 1888 and entered on the dis
charge Of his official duties in 1889.
He was one of the very best Cover
nors this State ever had, being truly
honest, faithful and capable in all
his relations, whether public or pri-
vate.

The EFFEcr.-The exorbitant price
Of printing paper. coupled with the
heavy taxes imposed by Congress on
publishers, is beginning to attract at
tention at the North. Harper's
Weekly states that if Congress does
not soon modify the taxes-some fiji
teen in number-levied upon those
publishing books in this country, the
entire book publishing business Of
the United States will be transferred
to England. 1t is now much cheaper
to print and bind books in England
and pay the duty on their importation,
than tits to print them here. Congress,
We trust, will see the necessity of re-
pealing all taxes on know ledge, direct
or indirect.

DIvERsIFICATIoN OF CROPS.

Aho AAPohcy "a W ~" Aout'no ~
the agricultural economy ofthe South,
by which the many resources Of the
soil are sacrificed to the production OIL
some particular one of the promi-
nent staples, has engaged much seri-
Gus attention and consideration, with.
out, however, as yet, effecting any
very noticeable improvement in the
old system. The disposition so tena-
ciously adhered to before the war,
of raising only cotton and buying
everything else, seems 10th to loose its
hold on the planting community not
withstanding the facts, SO universally
acknowledged and more forcibly man
Tested during the progress Of the late
war than ever before, that in all the
varied resources which flow from az
ricultural as we'll as mineral develop
ments, the South is rich beyond
measurement or calculation, and that
to diversity the products Of the soil is
to reap surer harvests and realize
larger profits, and with less amount
of labor and capital.
The outside world, we freely grant
remarks the Memphis Appeal on this
subject, is very much interested in
having large crops Of cheap cotton:
but we Of the South are infinitely more
concerned in improving and develop
ing the natural capability Of our coun-
try. Instead of large cotton planta-
tons, we want small, well cultivated,
well stocked, well improved farms,
with plenty of corn, and wine, flat
focks and sleek herds Of our own pro-
duction. We want a diversifcation
of our labor, whereby, in the develop
ment of our mineral wealth, and in
the manufactures for which our coun-
try is so we'll adapted, we may dis
pense, in part at least, with cotton as
a means ofcommanding ready money.
Under the old order Of things, the
Southern cotton planter was, in effect
though he little suspected it-but
little more than a steward and over
seer for the "Lords of the Loom" in
New and Old England. His inheri-
lance of the burthen of African slaves,
for whom he was bound to provide,
and hence was under the necessity Of
furnishing with employment suited to
their capacities, perhaps rendered it
difficult to be anything else. But now
that he has been emancipated and set
free from this obligation, it will surely
argue little for his intelligence if be
voluntarily returns to the old seryi-
tude. If the world wants cheap cot
ton, let the world lind it as best they
may. The Southron-whether by
birth or adoption-if he is wise, will
consider that he has contributed his
due proportion to that specific philan-
thropy.
And so let him betake himself to |
that way Of life to which soil and eli
mate invite him, and become the |
well-living, rubicund, independent far |
mer and country gentleman that he
well stored cellar of wine |
of his own making, fruits of bis own
growing, stock Of his own rearing
owing no one, envying no one, but an
example ofthe thrift, health, happiness
and real independent wealth that may
reanimate our wasted Southern land |
by proper direction of agriculture in
