The Acrimonious Debate In the
House Between Bragg and Ellis.
New YORK, January "a.
The "World's" Washington correspon-
| dent sends the following account OF an in
| terview with Mr.. Williams, Of Alabama,
| relative to the acrimonious debate in the
| House the other day between Mr.. Bragg,
Of Wisconsin, and Mr.. Ellis, of Louisiana.
| Mr.. Williams said II am very sorry the
| discussion came up, and especially that Mr..
| Ellis should have been led into saying what
he did. l myself am a Southern man, and
all my sympathies are with the people OF
my section. What Mr.. Ellis said is true
enough, but the effect of such things may
be disastrous. The Democrats Of the South
must at all hazards maintain friendly rela-
lions with those of the North. 1t is a
comparatively small thing if the party is
beaten in the North, considered locally,
but defeat in the South means the utter
ruin of the white race. l tell you the
South is solid only in self-defense. We are
Democrats not always from choice, but
from necessity; when Republicanism means
carpet-bag or negro rule, and Democracy
means the supremacy Of our own race, no
intelligent man need hesitate long as to
which party he will join. A debate like
that of yesterday cannot do any good"
The Herald" correspondent does not
think the debate will be reopened. He
says it is the fashion to speak of Bragg as
crotchety, with an infirm temper, but he
expressed the sense and will of the North
ern Democrats yesterday. The Republi-
cans hope for success in a solid South, and
this debate is likely to forewarn the South.
The 'sTimes'' correspondent says further
efforts will be made by the Southerners to
renew the quarrel. Mr.. Chalmers and
Others have already prepared speeches cal
culated to bind up the wounds of Southern
honor. The writer, though, thinks that
Wednesdays debate has spoiled the Demo-
Gratis pet scheme of IN alliance between
the South and West against the East.
Professor ~Newberry's Lecture.
New York, January "a.
Professor Newberry, Of the School OF
Mines of Columbia College, lectured at
Steinway Hall last night on gold and silver
in the past and in the future. He traced
the history of the precious metals dow
to the present time, and gave an account
of the earliest discoveries on this CONT
nent. He though that the era of the great
est production in silver had been reached
by the immense yield of the Comstock
lode. This great lode had been a disturb
ing element in the country's finances by
the promise which it once gave of causing
a glut of silver. He believed, however,
that nature had come to the rescue, and
that hereafter the yield from that source
would be only moderate in quantity.
The New York Custom-house Norni-
nations.
WAeurScToS Januarv OIL
Speculations concerning the fate of the
New York Custom-house nominations on
tinues rife in political circles in Washing
ton, and the Administration forces on the
one hand, and the anti-Hayes men, headed
by Mr.. Conkling, on the other, are making
strenuous efforts to achieve the victory.
Secretary Sherman was at the Capitol per-
sonally interviewing Senators on the sub
ject to-day. The Democrats, who hold the
balance of power, still remain silent, and
until they determine their course the issue
of the contest cannot safely be predicted.
