The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1878-12-14


this exception all held crayous. All
faces turned earnestly toward the cam
vass, the clay, y,and the model, and not a
sign of dwadlng or frivolity was to be
seen. To them the woman was a statue,
nothing was recognised here but art, 1t
took the form of worship, and he who
looked with other eyes, than those of an
artist, was accounted sacreligious. Thus
the public opinion of the atelier made
them all artists and, il the art feeling
was not possessed, 1t was assumed,
while a consciousness of the fact was
acquired, that in nature woman is the
highest expression of the beautiful.
The event of the present week, IL not
of the session, will be the debate in the .
Senate on the resolution of Senator |
Blaine, touching the elections in the |
South. The leading Senators on both
sides will participate, and, judging from
the careful preparation they have be-
slowed upon the speeches they are to
make, and the distinguished ability
which characterizes the best efforts of
the central figures of the present body,
the occasion promises not to be un-
worthy of the great debates Of the old
Senate, when our wondrous three"
were there. To Mr.. Blaine the event
is of more than ordinary importance,
and his friends so regard it. lie has
not reinquished his Presidential aspira-
tions, and it is believed that in the
speech that he is abou t to deliver he will
in a measure sound the key note of his
candidacy for the Republican nomina-
ton in 1880. Mr.. Blaine's intimates
hint at what nobody doubts, that the
forthcoming effort will be among the
best of his life. Senator Thurman ac-
cording to the present programme, has
been entrusted with the task of replying
to Mr.. Blaine, and will, ,after the amend.
mentS to the resolution agreed upon by
the Democratic caucus, which amend
ments, by the way, the Republicans
generally intend to vote down. What
Mr.. Thurman will say is not difficult to
foreshadow. lie will deny that the col
Ored Republicans of the South have been
denied any Of their political rights, and
solemnly declare that all their cry of
election outrage is but another Repub
lcan attempt to wave I" the bloody shirt
and rekindle the flames of sectional pre-
iudce." This will be the refrain of all
the Democratic Senators. 1t was only
on Thursday last that Senator Ben Hill,
of Georgia, stated that the colOred citi-
zen is as fully protected in all his rights
in the south as well as IN the North, and
that there was not q word of truth la
the published statements about differ
ent condition of affairs. And we will
prove it too, CONTINUED Mr.. Hill. "When
| hnt lalN IN Mr
takes place we shall prove to the coun-
try that all these stories are absolutely
false, and gotten up by the Radicals for
partisan purposes. We shall produce
the evidence to sustain our denial" Mr..
Hill never moved muscle while max
ing this declaration, and was as serious
as if he had been at prayer.
