The gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Har-
ris) had said yesterday that he was speak
ing TO white people. He would not ans
wer his remarks, but let him see that the
negro had too much magnanimity to strike
him in his weakness, and generosity
enough TO grant him the mercy of his ST.
lence. LApplause.l The negro aspired to
higher courtesy than had been shown
him in this debate.
The bill, he said, simply proposed to en-
force the written guarantees of the consti-
tuition. There never was n bill that was
more clearly enforced within the constitu-
tional power of the Government. He
held that the war and reconstruction of
the country had settled the political status
of the colored race, and the passage of this
bill would settle their civil status aud place
the capstone on the temple of liberty
founded on this continent by those who
had gone before us.
Referring to the story of Boaz and Ruth
he said that for over two centuries his peo-
pie had CLEANED in the field of their klns-
man, and when, like Ruth, they found
favor in their eyes, they would be most
grateful, and would repeat the prayer of
Ruth: "Entreat me not to leave thee or to
return from following after thee, for with
ersoever thou goest / will go, and where
thou lodgest | will lodge thy people shall
be my people, and thy God shall be my
God. Where thou diest j will die, and
there will j be buried" Loud and pro-
longed applause on the floor and in the
galleries

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Great speech of n COIOred Congressman
Tennessee Leg IsIatIon.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.,

" aAtihiAN'IpAN ~ -
January 6, p. NJ, 1874.
Special Correspondence of the Chronicle
The great event of this day in Congress
was the speech of Congressman r.. b.
Elliott, of South Carolina, in support of the
Civil Rights Bill now pending in the
House. The text of the speech you will
have before you by the time this letter
reaches you. 1t has been freely discussed
everywhere tonight, and but one opinion
is expressed, and that is, that it was one of
the very best speeches ever delivered in
Congress. So highly is it rated, that South
ern Democratic members insist that it was
not written by Mr.. Elliott, but that it was
the joint protection of Charles Sumner and
ex-AttOrney General Hoar. But L am
of the opinion, from the manner
and spirit of its delivery as well as from
the well known literary qualifications OF
its author that it is his own production.
Elliott is graduate of Elton College, Eng
land. He was born in Boston and partly
educated there in private school before
he went to England. He was selected by
the friends of the bill to answer Alex. III.
Stephens, and as q forensic and literary
effort it is conceded TO have surpassed that
of the distinguished Georgia statesman.
overheard Cox, of New York, a fine scholar
and speaker, pronounce it an effort of the
highest merit, showing the first order OF
talent. 1t had nothing low in 1t. 1t was
a philosophical, high toned, eloquent plea
of cOlored man for rights to which he
believes his race are Justly entitled.
make special mention of this effort be-
cause Of the profound impression which
the speech has made, as you will see from
the press. The colored race of America
stand higher tonight because of the speech
of their representative.
At the conclusion of his effort Mr.. Elliott
was congratulated by fully one-third of
the House, and for ten minutes his
desk was surro unded by many of both par
ties. The bill will be recommitted to the
Judiciary Committee tomorrow with the
amendments to the school section which
have been presented. 1t will not come be-
fore the House again for some time. il
will finally pssa, with changes in the school,
and hotel clauses.
Mr.. Maynard to-day introduced joint
resolution, naming among the Regents Of
the Smithsonian Institute, Henry Ward
| Beecher and Rev. Thos. w. Humes, ID. D.
of your city.
| He also introduced bill to establish
new postal routes from Unitia via Coytee
| to LenOir's; from Cleveland to Ducktown,
and Crossville to Wartburg.
Gov. Jno. g. Brown appeared before the
Military Committee this morning in ref
erence to allowing Tennessee for damages
done to certain railroads.
The East Tennessee University claim was
considered by the Military Committee Of
the Senate and will be favorably acted
upon ut an early day. A. J.R.
