From Our Regular Correspondent
WAsHINGT0N. April 2G.-Gencral Tom
Ewing concluded his admirable speech to-
at its close. He told the Republicans that
they dared not 90 before the country upon
the questions dividing the parties, and
hence reSorted to the bloody shirt. The
people of the North, he said, however, CAN
not he rallied on the negro question as
they could a few years ago. because there
are now among them hundreds OF thou
sands OF white men who arc thinking OF
! bread for their suffering wives and children,
and have no inclination to waste sympathy
! on the imaginary wrongs OF the negroes.
, He was eloquent and earnest when be de-
clarcd that while the Republicans in Con-
! eresS were striving to stir up sectional hate
! the people North and South are painting for
peace. And yet when this gallant Union
general pleaded for Cancellation and good
will among all Americans, Reed. Conger,
and other non .combatants who never mus
tered with Il tlint.lOck in 4 home guard.

efforts.

Ii parson Garfield meant to ccinteract the
| ~cod effect OF General Ewing'S speech b.
taking the floor at lis close he failed; for he
had not proceeded lar before Judge Kelly
got the laugh on liim about his cry OF rebel
lion. and several puzzling questions from
Democrat, interrupted his smooth talk.
JOLLY REPUBLICAN PUTS THE HOUSE IN a
GOOD HUMOR.
The House looked sour to-day, and each
side litl dcd common courte>ics with seem
ing reluctance: but Mr.. Boyd (Eepubiican].
OF Michigan, who has fine face and looks
jolly. put il in roar OF laughter before he had
spoken five minutes. He gave his attention
first 10 the Grcenbackers, whom, he said, in
the last campaign promised poor people
that ii shonid rain grecnbacks for
forty days and forty nights, and then told
capital stoly about the mermaid, which
made wicked old men shake their sides.
Coins over to the front OF the Democratic
side he said, with inimitable good humor,
that he wanted to give the South some good
advice. Pointing to 4 member from Mis-
sissippi he sad, want you people down in
Mississippi to raise more corn and cotton
and less cussedness; and turning to mem
Der from South Carolina he said, and you
down in South Carolina to raise more ha2ls
and less Hamburg. Even when he talked
about the bloody shirt there was applause,
and the Democrats cried "Go on" when
his time was ont.
| A TRIBUTE TO NORTHERN DEMOCRATS.
General. Chalmers, OF Mississippi, to.
day, in the course OF the debate, paid a
handsome tribute 10 the patriotism OF
! northern Democrats. He said that his
tory will write them down rs the trucSt
OF American patriots, for when south
ern Democrats cndrayorcd 10 break up
the Union they rallied the Republicans
and saved it. Then. when the Republicans
undertook to destroy the Constitution. they
rallied the southern Democrats and pre-
vented the outrage. The Republicans, he
said, love the Union better than the ConStlttl-
ton, the southern Democrats the Constitli-
ton better than the Onion but the north
crn Democrats love the Union and the Con-
sti;ution alike, and would make them one
and mSeparable. This was warmly cicercG
by southern Democrats, but the Republicans
only looked mad.
TIE SPIRIT OF JOHN BROWN MARCHING on.
Mr.. Ryan, Of Kansas, who looks Is if his
life were not altogether pleasant, made 4
speech Just long enough to call John Brown
"lhc old hero" and add that the grass had
not crown green on his grave before the
mcn who hung him were firing on the flag
Of their country.
