| is solid, emphatically solid, and can you
wonder il the North becomes. solid, too ?"
He left nothing undonc, in word or tone,
| while commenting on the Conicdcrates in
Congress, to make it appear that rebellion
controls the House and Senate, and that
| northern Democratic senators arc only aux
! lllarleS, to be used as sappers and miners.
And after all this he undertook to give the
South advice, saying 1t should go 10 work
and stop prescription for opinions sake
| and on account OF color. 1t is not proper,
| he said with 4 snecr, that the South should
| be the McGrcgor at the table, and that the
| North should take such seat as he dictates.
| The delivery OF the speech consumed
three hours, and it contained a senate
| rial enumeration by authority OF Grantism.
| The Radicals all congratulated him at its
| close, ard tonight Republicans say it is the
greatest speech yet made in the debate.
The Democrats do not regret its bitterness
from party standpoint, and regard it as
an evidence Of the desperation to which
the Grant leaders are driven in their efforts
to make the North solid for him. 1t IS due
to candor 10 say that the speech was iu-
tended to do harm, and will do harm at the
North.
Mr.. RANDALL PUZZLES HIS COLLEAGUE.
While Mr.. O'Neal was defending the Re-
publicans OF Philadelphia in the House to-
day, Mr.. Randall, who was on the floor,
asked him II the Republicans did not claim
great credit because Mayor Stokes and his
1,200 Republican politicians were in 1877
able TO suppress the railroad riots without
| assistance from the State or the United
States. Now, said Mr.. Randall, that being
50, did the gentleman think that at the last
election they could not have preserved the
peace without the aid OF the $50 deputy
marshalS, especially when the election was
as quiet rs the proceedings OF the House
arc to-day: Charles could not answer the
question, but made Il big effort to do so.
BLOODY, SLANDEROUs, AND PROVOKING.
Joyce, of Vermont. is one OF the small
| animals OF the Radical menagerie Of the
House; but il is not the largest animal that
makes the worst stencil. To-day he made
an infamous speech, and accused in coarse
terms southern repre- scntaliveS OF murder,
&c, falsc-swcaring, and every crime
possible, and predicted that their butchcred
victims would rise up by thousands in
judgment against them. While he did this
no Democrat listened, and some OF his
party hung their heads in shame; but
others not only applauGeG, but congratu-
lated hun at the close OF his outrageous
speech.
| TIE GREENBACKEES HAVE 4 SMALL CHANCE.
| The House met at 10 to-day, and the
Grecnbackcrs had small show in the de-
bate. Mir. Gillette, OF Iowa, announced that
the Greenbackers would, as in the case OF
the army bill, move to strike out the politi-
cal sections, and il they fail in this, then
they will vote for the bill with the Demo
Gratis. The Rev. De La Matyr also spoke on
the same line, and, like hs..Iowa brother,
deprecated the sectionalisln Of the debate,
and declared that nothing revolutionary
was contained in the political sections OF the
bill. When his time had expired the Demo
Gratis wanted to let him proceed, but Repub-
llcaus objected and the reverend brother
shook his head, Us much as 10 say Will pay
YOU back when the time comes, and come
it will.
