A NOBLE TEBrrE.-,Iust before the close
Of the late session Of Congress, the Hon
George f. Hoar of Massachusetts,, paid the
following well-merited tribute TO the colored
members of that body " During the past
seven years there have sat in this hall an
average Of seven colored representatives.
Most Of them had been slaves, deprived by
the laws under which they were born Of the
right to learn to read, to attend public meet
ing, or avail themselves of any of the com
mon methods Of obtaining information con-
corning public affairs. All of them came
from an humble place in life. Yet what
equal number of members Of this House can
be chosen on any principle of selection that
will stand higher, either for fidelity, honesty,
wisdom or propriety in the discharge of
their high duties Who can cite an in
stance of an improper utterance in speech,
or an undignifed or unbecoming act Of a
colored representative What colored man
has been compelled to suppress from the
official reports any angry or incorporate ut
terances which may have come from his
heart in the heat of debate 90

against 2O7 ,979 for Harrison and 12,.

the Greenback vote of October was cast
by Republicans. But without regard
to this point it is clear that the men who

hold the balance of power in Indiana
and will on the 7th of December decide
that States political position, and, per

Financial Crisis at st. Petersburg

from Berlin states: "A financial crash
of most serious character is threaten
ing in Russia. Thes public besiege the
banking Offices to sell Russia Govern
ment and company stocks, but as rule
the offers are declined.
"On the 18th and 10Th insts., nothing
was salable at any price, and worse will
happen should General Ignatieffs mis-.
sion take Il warlike character. The
crisis is the worst in the southwestern
provinces contiguous to Che possible seat
of War. A conference of bank directors
few days ago, at the office of the Gov
ernor of the National Bank, decided
they could do nothing to stay the crisis.
Accordingly, fresh issues of inconverti-

full than at the time of the Crimean
War, are expected"

Silk Culture i'm Louisiana.

From the New Orleans Times, October 21.l

contributed much to the incre eased silk
production of Sicily. He has in ST.
Tammany Parish an establishment
where for several years he has raised
large quantities of silk worms of the
finest species He does not make silk,
because he found it more profitable to
ship his worms eggs to Messina and sell
them; his income is above $4,000 every
year from this source. The eggs produc-
ed in Louisiana were found to be the
best produced anywhere, and Mr.. Ro-
quet has been complimented by our own
Agricultural Bureau and by the italian
authorities for his success in raising
sound and healthy worms, yet few oI

CHEYENNE, Wy, October 24.-Gen-
eral Crook being satisfied that the Red
Cloud and Red Leafs bands of Sioux
were about to depart with view Of
joining the hostiles in the north, they
having refused to comply with orders to
come into the agency and receive rations

Fourth Cavalry, one battalion of which
was commanded by Major Gordon, and
another by Captain Maulk, successfully
surrounded these two bands, consisting
Of 800 lodges, and captured bucks,

posed, and Spotted Tail, with Little
Wound, have agreed to furnish Genera

and Blacks Disbanding.

wAsHISoroS, October 23.-Captain
Lloyd, of the Eighteenth Infantry, e.
s. A., who was ordered to the scene of
near Aiken, South Carolina,
makes report to army headquarters re-
garding his Investigations. On his ar
rival mt Rouse's bridge, Captain Lloyd
states that he found a BODY of three
hundred mounted men under command
Of A. p. Butler, who had thrown ont
skirmish lines surrounding the negroes,
and adds: There was undoubted evid-
euce Of well digested plan which, if
carried out, would have resulted in the
slaughter Of nearly all the negroes in
the place. The presence of the troops
brought about an agreement by which
both armed whites and negroes dIsband-
ed. On the march from Rouse's bridge
to Ellenton, the bodies Of three negroes
who had been killed we're found, and in
formation was received that five others
had been murdered. One white man
was killed. The negroes were complete
ly cowed, and afraid TO leave their
places in the woods and return to work,
from fear Of being shot in the cotton
field. A detachment sent down the
Barnwell road met body of twenty or
thirty whites, who said they were de-
tachment of General Hsywood's COM
mand, under orders from Judge Virgins
to disarm and arrest negroes, and also to
protect a party Of negroes while bury
ing a colored member Of the Legisla.
