FEAT IN ORAToRY.-A member of
the Legislative Assembly of Ysncou.
ver's Island spoke in that House re.
Gently for seventeen hours, in order
to prevent a bill of much local interest
from passing before the close of a
particular day, which had been ap-
pointed as the limit of the time for
making certain payments. The last
twenty-four hours of the twelve
month alone remained when this
gentleman, Mr.. Mcclure, began his
speech. The E.raminer says: "Every
effort was made by the majority to put
him down and tire him out. With a
merciless unanimity, they refused to
allow him to lean against the table,
to put his foot upon o chair for q
moment, to relieve himself from the
irksomeness of his position by rest
ing his hand upon anything, or to
speak, in short, in any other than n
rigidly erect and unsupported atti-
tude.
During the whole of the time,
they relieved each other at intervals,
going out and procuring such re-
freshments as they needed, and al
ways leaving quorum in the House.
When Mcclure sank exhausted into
his seat, MIR. De Comost rose, and
for the remaining seven hours of the
twenty-four talked against time. On
rising; amidst the groans and Kisses
OF the disgusted and infuriated ma
jority, he exclaimed, with more force
than refinement, that it was useless
for honorable members to evince
their malice in that manner, for he
had got up with the determination to
talk, If necessary, until the angel
Gabriel sounded the last trump His
powers of endurance were not quite
so severely tested; but the end was
achieved, and when the clock struck
IL, the worn and wearied champion
of honesty looked round with par
donable exultation upon the blank
faces OF bought and beaten assem-
bly,"
No recusant Democrat in Washing
ton now would dare to go on such a
"fillibustering expedition"

Two THOUSAND MINERS ON STRIKE.
The strike of the miners in New Jer-
sey still continues and is increasing.
1900 are idle or engaged with the
strikers, and all the mines in Morris
County have suspended work. The
strikers obtain credit at the stores as
they have heretofore done, but it is
only because the dealers are afraid to
refuse them.
VIRGINIA ToDAcco Cnop. The to-
bacco now on hand in the Counties
OF Halifax. Pittsylvania, Franklin and
Henry, in Virginia, and Rockingham
and Caswell, in North Carolina, is es-
timated to be worth $l2, 900, 900.
The crop of Pittsylvania alone is
placed at $3, 100000. We doubt this
estimate.

JEFF. DAVIS. s.-Professor Thomas
Chenowith, of Baltimore, an artist
on his travels, recently visited the
fort and commenced giving instruc-
tons in painting to Mr.. Davis, Miss
Howell, his sister-in-law, md others.
The Professor had many pleasant
conversations with Mr.. Davis. The
latter said thnt he had no complaints
to make of whnt appeared to be the
strict measures of the Government
to prevent his escape, and that he
entertained towards oil the officers
of the fort none but the most kindly
and friendly feelings, as they had
ever been ready. and willing to pro-
mote his comfort. He said he was
under many obligations to the citi-
zens of Baltimore. AS to his trial,
he expressed no opinion. He was
in the bands of the Government,
and patiently awaited the decision
which would either place him before
the courts OF justice or release him.

A CononED PnrAonrn's VIEWS OF

A CoI,oRED PREACHBR's VIEWS OF
THE SrruATIoN.-A friend, who was
present at one of the churches where
our colored people worship. on Sun
day afternoon, gives us the following,
among other sensible remarks, which
occurred in the sermon of the preach
er, Tor many years slave in this
oity:
My brethren" said the preacher,
lit is true, your condition is changed.
You are now free men and women,
instead of, rs i'll former years, slaves;
but because you are free, it does not
relieve you from certain duties which
are incumbent upon white and CO.
lored persons. You must work, and
take care of yourselves and families,
and behave yourselves as the white
people do, and be polite to all per-
sons. Without this, you cannot be
respected. DO not be de-
ceived by professions from any one.
When you find white men who are
willing to get down under you for the
purpose of showing you up above
them, us some profess to do, for the
purpose Of gaining your support,
say to You, watch all such charac-
ters. When, however, men are will
ling to reach down from the wall and
offer you their hands to pull you up,
as your former masters are willing to
do, you may trust them. say unto
you, brethren, look out for designing
men, who profess only to betray"

Maryland returns 1000 majority

In the Supreme Court, on the mo-
ton to file the Mississippi bill, the
Chief Justice said the motion to file
a bill was usually granted Us a matter
of course. but suggested that if the
bill contains matter scandalous or
unfit to come before the Court, the
Court examines it or refers it to q
master. In this case, the Attorney
General objects to the bill as contain
ing matter unfit to bring before the
Court. That is the only point which
can now be considered. Upon that
point, the Court will first hear the
Attorney General.
Mr.. O'Connor announced himself
and associates in attendance, should
it be decided to argue both bills.
The Attorney-Genernl said the
Georgia bill lacked the point on
which he proposed to oppose filing
the Mississippi bill. The Mississippi
bill was, in n legal sense, soandalous,
as it proposed making the President
the defendant before the Court.
Gov. Sharkey said he had amended
the bill to proceed against the Presi-
dent as citizen of Tennessee.
Attorney General Stanberry read
portions of the bill, claiming it was
manifestly against the President as
President. He alluded to process
somewhat similar issued against Mr..
Jefferson, in the Burr trial. Mr..
Jefferson did not obey, nor even
notice, the process. He should ad-
wise tho President to disregard the
subpoena, and traced the result,
should the Court persist and the Pre-
sident remain firm. The Court, to
maintain its dignity, would have to
imprison the President for contempt.
He maintained, equally with the
Kings of England, that the President
was exempt from proceedings of this
kind. He could only be brought be-
fore the bar of the Senate after i'm
peachment. The Courts could punish
for acts committed while President,
but he was beyond their jurisdiction
while occupying the chair. He also
maintained that the action was
against the United States Govern
ment as much as though the Govern
ment were named. He announced
that he appeared at the request of
the President, who, when the bills
passed over his veto, said there was
but one duty, in his estimation, rest
ing upon him, and that was faithfully
to carry out and execute those laws.
r. u. Walker followed, and the
Court took the matter under advise
ment.
