SENATOR BRUCE, of Mississippi, in a
long letter, discourages the movement in
the Southern States in favor of the emf
grafton of the colored people to Liberia
He argues that the negro of this country
is not African but American 'in his
physical qualities and aptitudes, in his
mental development and biases, in his re-
hgious beliefs and hopes, and in his po-
Htical conceptions and convictions" The
Senator advises him to work out his dcs-
tiny in this country. Mr.. Bruce can af-
ford to feel pleased with himself and
competent to give advice, since he won a
vote of thanks from the Legislature of
his State, composed almost exclusively of
the opposing political party and made up
Of men strongly antagonistic to him.

THE AGE OFF EsOCKS.

At the first meeting session of the Liver
pool Geological Society, the retiring presi-
dent delivered the annual address. The
subject was an interesting one, being a
calculation of the amount of solid matter
removed annually from the surface Of
England and Wales in solution in rain or
river water. The result of the calcula-
tions, which were of an elaborate nature,
showed that it would take thirteen thou
sand years to move in this manner one
foot in depths of solid matter over the en-
tire surface of England and Wales. This

ALL who have any appreciation of
humor honor Mr.. Nast's great ability,
but the want of taste displayed in his
last effort is condemned as universally as
anything be ever did was commended.
Senator Morton's death is too recent and
the admiration for him too general for
his face to be placed in cartoon to make
inerriment Mr. Mast should have dis
played better taste.

A CHINESE Consul, duly accredited to

are of the same opinion, but lay the

SPEAKER RANDALL ON TARIFF
REVISION

Speaker RANDALR is reported as tax
ing deep interest in the proposed revis-
ION of tho tariff, and is directing his
efforts to have it SO perfected by the Com
mittee of Ways and Means as to make it
harmonious in all its features. He de-
cHned TO discuss the WOOD report in
detail, because he believes that necessary
corrections can be better made by work
than by public criticism. Like most Of
the majority of the House, who believe
that the protective policy should not
be entirely abandoned, Speaker RAN
DALI says that this Congress should
make the needed revision OF the tariff,
md he will favor such action if it can DO
done without injustice TO any interests.
lie says that general revision of the
tariff is necessary to harmonic our rev.
cnue laws, as there has been so much
special legislation on the subject in the
Interest of particular industries or enter
prises that tho law is incongruOus and in
some respects flsgrantly unjust.

SENATOR DAVIS ON SILVER.

The telegraph brings US brief synCp-
sis OF the speech delivered yesterday in
the United States Senate by Mr.. DAVIS
of this State. lie argued in favor OF the
tho restoration of silver to our metallic
currency because it Is the coin of the
constitution; because it was stipulated in
tho bond that the people might pay their
public debt in both gold and sill
yer; because it would aid IN restoring
prosperity to country sorely in need of
relief; because the people demand its re-
monetizstion; and because silver is one Of
the most valuable products of the coun-
Try. The Senator's points are strong and
forcibly pat Further, he denies that
the agitation of the silver question is the
cause of our bonds returning TO this coun-
try, but rather because we are exporting
largely In excess OF the amount we are
importing. Mr.. DAVIS argued against
increasing the amount of silver in the
dollsr than APP grains, because that was
the amount that was in the old dollar
ard which commanded premium over
god; and further, because if the silver
dollar is made still more valuable it
would be driven out OF circulation by the
cheaper commedity-gold.

his lecture on Irish Humor before a

the Fall OF 1876, and sll who did hear
him, whether political friend or foe, were
delighted with mis- bright sayings; but
as there will be no politics in this lecture
and great deal more humor, we expect
TO see him greeted by very large and
merry audience.

WAR CLAIMS.

On Friday, Congressman WILSON, Of
the Wheeling District, made short
speech in which he set forth, with clear
ness and force, the hardships and wrongs
that many of his constituents have suf-
lered, and are still suffering, at the hands
Of the Government, by virtue of the I'M
fortunate muddle the existing laws have
plunged the settlement of these claims
into. Colonel WILSON says there are
many citizens of this District and State,
who have claims, the justice and legality
Ct which can readily be established in
any court of law, but which cannot be
adjudicated under the constructions of the
departments. The fault, he points out, is
not with either the claims themselves or
the officers OF the Government, but with
the system.

endorsements of Senators DAVIS and

the President has appointed Colonel A.
j. SWEENEY OF this city, one of the
twenty paid Commissioners to Paris
West Virginia is being recognized ;
at Washington. Colonel SWEENEY is
q practical mechanic and msnafac-
turer, and has had the advantage of
observation at the Vienna and Philadci-
phia exhibitions, both of which he at
tended. Having practically had charge
OF the West Virginia department at the
Centennial Exhibition, he understands
thoroughly our resources ard our needs.
In the Capitol building we have quite
an extensive collection of specimens of
the native woods and minerals of West
Virgins, which was exhibited at Phila-
delphis. ltthere is any means by which
these articles can be taken to Paris, this
State could make handsome show there
with but little expense or trouble.
We believe the government Will
detail ships to carry such exhibits when
they are once placed on beard, so the
expense to West Virginia of making a
rood show would be small.
