Then he went home, sent message to

"Do," said Little. "Tell her who it is.

Some ADVICE, GAATIs.-Mr Bigss, who
saw Senator ReVels comblng his lousy WOO
in the Senate chamber" is not only "hide
bound" as the New York World says, but he
is either false sighted or false tongued, or all
three combined. Here is what the Chicago
Times, the Democratic organ of the North
West says of him:
Mr.. Biggs, a Democratic candidate for Con
gress III Delaware, says that he does not want
10 be elected by negro votes, and does not want
negroes to vote for him. Ii he should tell the
whole truth, he probably would say that he
does not desire to be defeated by negro votes.
In all localities in the Southern States where
the blacks can determine the result of elections,
the question for the white men to decide is
whether they will control the negroes or be
controlled by them. Mr.. Biggs may be 50
blinded by prejudice that he cannot see this
question, but that does not alter the tact OF its
existence.
