WASHINGTON, JAM 6-The discuss
sion of Supplementary Civil Rights
bill was resumed.
Mr.. Elliott, (colorcd(, spoke in adj
yocacy OF the bill.
lie read % speech from manuscript
aud the effort attracted much atten-
ton, the language being good and de-
livery impressive. He referred to the
services of his race on the battlefield,
and their claims upon the Government
for protection in their rights.
Replying to the argument of Mr..
Stephens, speech, yesterday, he con-
tended that Congress had full power
under the 18th aud 18th amendments
to the Constitution TO pass this bill
and protect all 3ci,izens OF The United
States in all their rights, aud denied
that discrimination against colored
people III hotels, &C., was the exercise
OF the police powers Of The States.
| While holding Mr.. Stephens in high
personal regard, he must say that it
was not from him that American Re-
representatives. would take lessons in
matters touching human rights, and
he could not refrain from saying that
that gentlemen (Stephens) now offered
poor return 70 the Government he
had done his utmost to destroy, for its
magnanimity, by coming here apd
seeking TO continue the burdens of op.
preston on a race which had prayed
and fought for the Government,
against his efforts.
Mr.. Elliott reviewed therecofd of
Mr.. Stephens during the rebellion, and
said he should put away entirely those
false and fatal theories which had
marred his otherwise enviable record.
Lie should accept in its ftillness the
great doctrine that American citizen

THE Gote CYxy speaks very sensibl,

The Eate CITY speaks very sensibly
in regard to the mistake in compiling
the Congressional Directory in refer
ence to who was the competitor of
John A. Kasson for Congress in 1879.
We have refrained from noticing this
attack upon Mr.. Kasson for it has
seemed to us that it could not injure
him, but would recoil with force upon
its authors. The Gate CITY. says:
In his last Congressional race Mr..
KassOn's competitor was Mr.. o. L.
Palmer, Of Charlton, we believe. In
the Congressional Directory, compiled
by Ben Perlcy Poore, the mistake was
made Of putting down Mr.. Palmer's
name as r. w. and designating him
as ' Liberal and Democrat In politics.
The mistake explained ITSELF but an
idle report was started and received
in a few quarters absurd recognition
that Nj, Kasaon was responsible for 1t
and had aimed il as a damaging blow
at Frank w. Palmer, Of the Inter
Ocean. il must be particularly in.
famable mind in its hostility to Mr..
Kasson that could credit such 8 stupid
and cruel libel for moment.

therefore Of quite ripe age. He en-
tered The military service at the age Of
fifteen as n Lieutenant AL the death
of Ferdinand VII he cspoused the
cause of Queen Isabella, and defended
her against the pretensions of the then
Don Carlos. He distinguished him
self in various battles, and was made
a Brigadier-General, then Division
General, and at the fall of Espartero. he
was made Minister of War, and then
the young Queen Isabella gave him the
rank Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. After
wards after the defeat of Espartero's
renewed attempt at revolution, he was
made Captain-General. Stililater he
was for 4 time Captain GeneFAA Of
Cuba. In 1868, upon his return to
Spain, he was appointed Secretary OF
Foreign Affairs. Thus il is seen. that
he has been favorite Of Queen lea
bella's and her fast friend. 1t there

Spain is quite similar in character to
that in France. which placed MacMa-
