y REMARKABLE SCENE.-In referring
to Congressman Elliott's effort in behalf
of the Civil Rights bill, the New York
Dispatch has the following under the
title above: "a scene remarkable in its
character was presented in the House of
Representatives, last week. Alexander
H. Stephens, ex-Vice President of the
defunct Southern COnfederacy, made
long speech in opposition to the Civil
Service bill, and sat down. Mr.. Elliott,
colOred Representative from South
Carolina, rose in his place and made
reply Think of the cOntrasti indulge
for a moment the thronging associations
as memory goes back to the days OF Cal
hOun, Bully Brooks, aud Rhett-to the
threats of notification. No more lash
or chain on account OF color. Instead,
one of the despised slave race sits in the
seat of the chfefest of the Southern chiv-
alry, and stands before tie Representa-
tives of thirty-seven States, the peer of
any, every inch n man. The speech of
Mr.. Elliott was keen, calm, caustic, and
clear in argument. 1t must have
seemed as strange as wonderful to Mr..
Stephens to be answered by a black
man-Representative though he be. To
him, the clear sentence, the flashing
eye, the concise, connected argument.
must have told how utterly futile the
attempt to establish cOnfederacv based
upon involuntary servitude as a corner
stone. In that ringing voice he must
have realized how utterly a lost cause
was that mad attempt of Jefferson Da-
Wis when he outraged the laws of God
and man to attempt the establishment
Of a slave oligarchy. The black man
stood proudly up, was listened to with
interest, and made an able, feeling, con
vincing argument in favor of the rights
-Of the race he so well represents"
