OK Tuesday, the 9th inst, when the
negro Elliot, inspired by the Summers
and Buffers, undertook to browbeat
Messrs. Beck, of Kentucky, Stephens,
Of Georgia. and Harris, Of Virginia, all
the galleries Of Congress even to that
reserved for the families OF members,
were densely packed with dusky
faces. No, not all the galleries; the
diplomatic benches were vacant the
whole day. True, It's pity, and pity
tits, It's true. But the great ''mawral'
exhibition Of a Massachusetts, negro
from South Carolina lecturing the Ex-
Vice President of the defunct Confed-
eTacy on constitutional rights, was lost
to the representatives. Of European civil
lization and deccncy. They didn't go

Mr.. LUTTEELL, of California, has
introduced a bill IN the House Of Rep
resentatives, requiring the Attorney
General to begin suit against the fol-
lowing railroads, to recover the interest
due the government on bonds: The
Union Pacific. Central Branch of the
Union Pacific, Western Pacific, Sioux
City and Pacific, and Kansas Pacific.
The preamble to the bill recites the
amounts due blythe several roads, which
aggregate over &20,0o9,000. As some
Of these roads have defaulted on their
interest On first mortgage bonds, it does
not exactly appear how the government
is going to secure its interest on a sec
ond mortgage.

THE Ne,g York Sun makes this point:
''In these days of distress and want
among the poor, it is interesting to
know that the increased pay of Presi-
dent Grant would support fifty families
in all the ordinary comforts of life, and
that his total yearly salary and perqui-
sites, as figured up last summer by
Congressman Willard, Of Vermont, are
equal to the income Of two hundred and
fifty worEing-men's families, supposing
that the heads Of these families work
steadily in snow, frost. rain, and heat
the year round, without any chance for
relaxation at Long Branch or else
where" How do these poor men who
voted for Grant like 1t:

TROUBLE BETWEEN FOREIGNERS AND
NATIVES.
San FRANCISCO, December lG by the
steamer Newbern information was re-
Ceived concerning the trouble between
the foreigners and natives at Lspaz, Mex.
leo. When the United States steamer
SsranAc arrived at Lspaz the story came
out that II. s. Brooks, Superintendent OF
the Honiguere mines at Triunto, who had
asked for the presence OF war vessel, on
the ground that the troops only awaited
some excuse 10 attack his hacienda,
had really been accused OF selling
damaged flour to his men, and an exam.
ination was ordered by the Judge of the
District. Damaged flour was found in the
store, and the matter was referred 10 8
higher Court. After the Saranac arrived
a gang headed by Roman Vallejo,
robbed the people OF San Jose Of ten
thousand dollars. There is rumor
10 the effect that q project is
on foot to rob Triunto and Lapaz
The garrison has been strengthened by
additional troops placed at the disposal
OF Brooks. The next developement was
between the Mexican soldiers and Brooks
forces. The impending hostilities were
prevented by Captain Queen Of Ssrsnac,
and an amiablc understanding between oil
parties finally reached. The Mexican
authorities claim that Mr.. Brooks was try.
ing to create q disturbance and be re-
taliated the charges, The U. S. Consul
at Lspaz not having been consulted he
did not figure in the complications, and
until the Captain at Saranac submits an
official report dispassionate statement oi
the trouble cannot be expected.
