The action of the democratic side Of the
senate in reopening the long settled question
regarding the right of Senator Kellogg to
his seat lie calling forth an earnest discussion
of the subject. The point taken BY the
leading republican senators is that the dem
ocrats are endeavoring to preserve party
majority by unseating a republican and
seating a democrat, and that if they can do
this in Mr.. Kellogg's case, they will establish
q precedent that will enable the majority to
retain its numerical preponderance by re-
moving any number of the opposition who
stand in the way.

The Mississippi valley labor convention,
at Vicksburg, has completed its work and
the negroes are considering whether or not
the promises of the convention are sufficient
to induce them to remain on southern soil.
The African representatives in the assem-
blage declined to talk or to vote, saying
that they were there simply to listen and
find out what was to be done in their behalf.
The convention adopted a series of resolu-
tons. the most important of which reads
as follows:
Resolued, That this committee does
affirm that the colored race has been placed
by the constitution of the United States
and the states represented and the laws
thereof on a plane of absolute legal equality
with the white race and does declare that
the colored race shall be accorded the prac-
teal enjoyment of rights, civil and politi-
cal, guaranteed by said constitution and
laws.
Another resolution promises that the
members of the convention will use all
their influence TO secure to the blacks a
fair expression of their wishes at the polls
and to protect them against fraud, intimi-
dation and bulldosing on the part Of the
whites. In this declaration we have, from
an unexpected source. a tacit acknowledge
e of that which democratic orators and
democratic newspapers have persistent]y
denied-that fraud, intimidation and bull.
dosing has been, and still is, practiced for
the purpose of attaining political ends.
The sophistries Of congressional confederate
brigadiers and their northern allies fall to
the ground in the face of this acknowledge.
e and the persuasive democratic argu-
ments of years are as SO much chat, scatter.
ed to the four winds by the first breath of
truth. In the labor convention of the
southwest it is a foregone conclusion that
this condition does exist. The bloody shirt
is there endorsed and elevated to the gaze
Of the world by those who opened the veins
which furnished the color to the ensanguin-
ed garment. This is the paragraph In the
platform of the convention which promises
to the blacks future immunity from the
shot gun ard rifle:
Resolued. That to this end the members
OF this convention pledge themselves 10 use
whatever power and influence they possess
to protect the colored race against ali dan
gers in respect to the fair expression of their
Wills at the polls. which they apprehend
may result from fraud, intimidation or bull
dosing on the part of the whites, and as
there can be no liberty of action without
freedom Of thought, they demand that the
elections be fair and free.

At Tuesdays meeting Of the cabinet the
threatened invasion of the Indian territory
was further discussed and the conclusion
reached that settlers have no right to occu-

would be fully justified in instituting militia

the verbal opinion that under the treaties of
1866 with the Creeks and Seminoles, by

quence Of the desire Of the government to
locate civilized Indians and freedmen there

terminus is Pattersonville. twenty three
miles from the Great Sioux river. which is
the boundary between Iowa and Dakota,
In this space the road bed is already made.
But a brief stop will be made at the State
boundary, for during this year the rails are
to be laid far into Dakota, to a distance of
lv0 miles from the present terminus. The
line of the road will run about sixty miles
north of the Missouri river for most of the
way, and will cross that river at or near
Brule City, where the onward march of the
iron horse towards the Black Hills. Its ulti-
mate stamping grounds, will cease for this
year. En- route the line crosses the valley
of James river, singularly fertile and al
ready quite thickly inhabited by such a
sturdy population as the Mennonites. Fire
Steel, the prospective capital of the state,
is on the line. From Brule City, the tenn
porary terminus, the distance by stage to
Deadwood is only $50 miles, and conse.
quently with the completion of this extern
sion, the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
will have the shortest route to the Black
Hills. The next nearest route, via Bis |
marck and the Northern Pacific, requires
910 miles of staging. When completed the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul extension
will be known as the air line to the Black |
Hills.

on the British Residency at Cabul. 1t Is re-
lated BY the trooper who escaped that when
the mutinous troops were making the out
cry for their pay soldier cried, Let us kill
the Envoy and then the Amer" The mu-
tineers then rushed upon the Embassy and
stoned some Of the servants. The troops
composing the escort Of the Embassy fred
upon the mutineers without orders from
the British officers. The mufineers
then went for their weapons. They were
absent about . quarter Of an hour, during
which time the British officers might have
escaped. The Residency was defended from
the windows and from trench made on the
outside with . mud roof. A trooper was
the bearer Of . letter TO the mutineers, then
on the roof Of the Embassy, promising them
six months pay. He was seized and thrown
from the roof and made insensible. When
he recovered he was brought before Gen.
kerim Khan, commander Of the mutinous
brigade, who said he was powerless against

lowing additional particulars: The roof Of

was: Sod willing, / am making arrange

Maj. Cavagnari had met with tine same re-
ply. Mr.. Jenkyns wrote again when Mai.
