ToIu tuc ENeW IofA IimCs
Mr.. Blsne's speech presents remarkable con-
trast TO that portion of the Message in which the
President treats of the Southern elections. The
President confines himself to q single aspect and
touches it so tenderly that one wonders how
great the outrages must be to awaken his slumber-
ing indignation and extort . confess ion of the
failure that has attic aided his Cancellation policy.
Mr.. Blaine, on the contrary. speaks with the
warmth Of conviction, and with a vivid perception
Of the besriug Of his subject upon the rights and
interests of the American people. He wastes no
words, INDUCES in no horid rhetoric. but with q
wealth Of facts and illustrations shows how the
pretensions set up by the Southern democracy
iuperil the Just influence Of other States 10 the
making Of laws and the administration Of the
Government. The Pres ident sees only the wrong
done to the colored citizen, who, having been en-
frsnchised is now denied the free Of his vote.
Mr.. Blaine does not overlook this wrong or depre-
cate ito effect on the future Of the colored people.
But he regards it as only of series of wrongs
affecting white and black alike, and tending
to the overthrow of that balance of rcprese ntstvc
power on whose continuance the safe working Of
our constitutional system depends. The Pes
lent speaks with the air Of man whose instincts
are Just and whose feelings are kindly, but whose
fear Of Southern hostility or Of Northern msap
prehension imparts to what he SAYS . tone of in
decision and weakness. The Maine Senator
knows no such tim dy. He is not rash in his
presentation of the case reckless in his search
for remedies, as Yesterdays speech clearly proves
But be does not shrink from calling things by
their right names, or from collision with the ami
mostly which bis exposure Of Southern audacty
will surely excite.
Neither Mr.. Thurman nor Mr. Lamar seems to
have been effective in his reply to Mr.. Blsine's
exposition of the new issue The Mississippi
Senator'S plea for education As the great want of
the South is ludcrous in view OF the treatment &C
corded to the subject since the local Governments
passed under democratic control. Amid much
that was Objectionable, the reconstruction era did
yield salutary provisions in the matter Of education.
Democratic rule has impaired these provisions in
some States and ID wsrted them In others. Mr.. Thur
mans attempt TO depict "the money power" ct the
North as more potent 10 "its fell operston the
combined force of violence and fraud at the South
is even more absurd. Will the Senator pause to
explain the probable result OF an organized effort
to carry an Ohio election by the methods to which

Mr.. Blaine's Speech.
From the New York Tribune. |

From the New I0rk tribune.
The debate in the Senate upon the recent crimes
against the suffrage in the South, which began
with Mr.. Blaine's speech yesterday. has already
achieved good results. In the first place, it put
the question ct issue before the country in the
clesrest possible light. Mr.. Blsine's speech wss
digni6ed, careful and moderate, and dealt with
the exciting subject Of outrages and frauds calmly
and dispsssionately. He showed FIRST how the
practical exclusion of the colored voters from the
polls gives every Southern white man more than
twice the power in the National Government than
IL enjoyed by . white man at the North, and be
fortified this point with abundant illustration and
calculation. South Carolina, Mississippi and
Louisis na combined, with white population only
half % great Is that Of Iowa and Wisconsin CON-
bined, have just ss many representatives, As those
States. The same thing is true Of Georgia and
Alat ana, ss compared with the four Northern
ststes Of Michigan, Minnesota, Nebrasks
and California. Thus, to quote Mr..
Blaine's own words, "the Confederate soldier
South 10 enabled to cast vote that 10 twice ..

"the Union soldier North This 10 an impudenl

elections. He drew . striking picture of the

Blaine's speech was not much of speech,

The Encounter.

The republican party and all friends OF
equal rights are grati6ed with the result
of the encounter in debate which followed
the speech made by Senator Blaine on the
Southern election wrongs. The biggest
guns OF the democracy, Thurman and La
mar. the former confessedly the leading
candidate of his party for the Presidency,
were brought out to reply to Mr.. Blaine.
bat even they had to retire from the field
discounted. Their assault did not weak
On the force of the speech in the least
indeed, some of their admissions strength
ened it-while in the running debate they
had far the worst of the contest. "Sena-
tor Thurman" says an eye witness, did
the best that could be done under the cir
cumstances. Cool, careful and expert
enced, he steered clear of most of the
rocks that would have beset the course OF
anv one else who would have attempt
ed to defend the democracy for its late
crimes in the South. He landed high and
dry. however, upon shoal when he re-
peaisd the assertion so often made by the
Southern bulldozers and ballot-box- stuff
ers. that the wealth and intelligence of the
South is bound to rule there. That asser
ton has come to have new meaning
since South Carolina "red-shirts" and It's
sue paper ballots became controlling ele-
ments in q campaign. No democrat can
make it without recalling to the minds OF
bis hearers the means by which the intelli-
gencs.. and wealth of that State have
snght TO assert themselves"
Mr.. Blaine at once seized upon this AS
sertiOp, and soon Thurman was made to
sss that he was but repeating the trite de-
fence of the bulldozers for their course,
and avowing a doctrine at war with re
publican institutions, opposed to the con-
stitution, dangerous to the country.
The portion of the debate which ap-
pears in our columns this morning is in
teresting reading and shows how hand
somsly both democratic Senators we're
worsted in the encounter by Blaine and
Eimunds, the latter giving some very
sharp thrusts to the Mississippisn.

INDIAN NEWS.

The Battle With the Bannocks.
A Bismarck correspondent of the St
Paul Pioneer Press writing under date of
the 18th, gossips % follows:
l met to-day Felix Sanger, who was in
the fight Gen. Miles had with the Ban
nocks. he describes it "a. Q lively encouu-
ter Tor about three. quarters of an hour. The
troops were posted within q hundred yards
of the Indians. The enemy was lodged In
the thtckest sage brush, and the firing was
wholly without any sort of aim. Miles
circulated before, entering into the battle
that each soldier was pi;ted against ten In
dians. If his calculation had proven cor
rect. the Bismarck rumor might have been
sadly confirmed. About twenty. minutes af.
ter the fight Capt. Bennett was shot through
the heart by an Indian behind q tree. He
fell instantly dead. Sanger says he fired
ffty.two shots, and others as high as sixty.
1t was business with . vengeance. Sixteen
were killed, ~thirty-two captured, and q few
escaped. The two hundred and twenty ponies
taken were given as pay to the Grows. who

Sitting Bull wanted to surrender needs =

Woodruff, of Fort Keogh. told me to-day
that the Indians who wee at Keoah, repre-
sented the Ogalalla wing of Sitting Bulls
camp. They wanted to know what terms
the government would grant their particu.
lar tribe. They did not claim to speak Of
Sitting Bull. and had no request from him
on the subject Of surrender, Gen. Miles,
moreover, was not at Keogh and did not see
the delegation. He was the man they
wished to talk to- Miles is still off on his
