WASHINGTON. January 6.
The Radicals in the House to-day
resorted to one of their characteristic
acts of fraud and malignity.

Southern members of Congress who
are opposing the Civil Rights Bill, a
highly offensive speech was written
out by Mr.. Hoar. of Massachusetts, and
Put into the hands of a Massachusetts
negro, named Elliott, who pFrtends to
represent South Carolina. The speech
VAS made especially bitter and malig-
nant towards Mr.. Beck, Of Kentucky,
Mr. Sephcns, of Georgia, and Judge
Harris, of Virginia, who had already
spoken in this debate.
None OF these gentlemen took the
slightest notice OF this Negroes inso-
lence, and Mr.. Stephens was not in the
hall; Tut the Radicals regarded this
trick rs a grand and honorable per

Mayor, who OF course has power Of removal Tor
