The Negro Exodus.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-To-d day
was made memorable to the session by
a speech by Senator Lamar, whose i'll
ness has prevented his taking any
active part in congressional work
during the past session. 1t was in re-
ply to SenatorW indom's attack on the
south in a speech on the exodus ques-
ton. Except that his voice was very
weak, the speech was fully equal to
Lamars great reputation as an orator.
He rose to the height OF craftsmanship,
which Window did not seem to
comprehend, when he pronoun-
ced himself in favor of the
migration of the negro to the north,
that, by combating with the sterner
conditions of climate and soil, he
might develop a frmer and manlier
character. In defense Of the south,
and in answer to what Window had
said, and what Lamar fifty character
lied as malignant outpourings,' con
corning the condition of negro labor
ers of the south, he read the testimony
of Bishop Simpson, Governor George
Campbell and Rev. Or. Hatfield, all
of whom had received very pleasant
ideas OF the happy condition Of the ex-
slaves among their old masters,
and General Grants Cairo and
New Orleans speeches, to en-
phasize how men who look
at the south honestly see it, as men
like Window wish it not to be. As
the senator drew heal the close of his
speech his voice gained strength, and
he was very eloquent whenever he al
luded to Windows bad motives in
stirring up sectional strife for the sake
Of securing votes, or when he defended
his own action. In the course of his
speech he read some interesting sta
%tistics, showing that Mississippi em.
ploys in productive enterprises as
large a percentage of her population
as the northern states and pays as
high, and in some instances higher,
wages than her northern and western
neighbors. She makes an especially
good showing in comparison with
Windows state, Minnesota.

and a large crowd of delighted spec
tators gathered about to listen to
sweet strains evolved from Urso's in
strument, aided by another person on
the harp. Various difficult operate
mOrceaus were beautifully performed,
and liberal contributions were dropped
into the hat when it was passed

sic in their souls, will be RECALLED with

ABRAHAM AND ABSALOM..
The Religious Aspect Of the Re-
publican Ticket.

Washington Special to the Gin. Com
There is a dispute here as to wheth-
er Garfeld's name is James Abraham
or james Abram. Some papers spell
it Abraham and others Abram. His
fathers name was Abraham, and it is
said he was named for his father.
Gen. Garfield can settle this, as it is
spelled both ways in in the papers.
Gen. Garfield is a member of the
Christian church, ordinarily called
the Campbellite church, after its
founder, Alexander Campbell. The
denomination is quite large and pow
erful in the south and west, and as
they are somewhat clannish, it is said
that the republican nominee will get
a great many votes from the church
membership, because he is a member
Of this organization. In West Vir.
GINA, Kentucky and Tennessee the
denomination is very strong, and mem
bers of congress from those states say
that Garfield will undoubtedly get
large numbers of votes among men
who do not belong particularly to one
party or another, but vote for a mem
Der of their church rather than
againstShim.
Judge Keyhas already received sew
eral notes from the mountains often
nessee, asking him what church Gar
field belongs to, and if it is true that
he is a Campbellite.
1t is thought that the ticket will be
strong with the religious element. as
both Garfield and Arthur are church
members and temperance men, and
both came from deeply religious fami-
lies, and one is the son of a clergyman.
If it is true that Garfeld's middle
name is Abraham instead of Abram.
then they both have biblical names,
to-wit: Abraham and Absalom, Ar
thurs middle name being Absalom.

The pine apple and banana sea-

Every now and then some poor
wight gets a silver trade dollar palmed

when he tries to pass it, must stand
a shave of ten cents. Several about
town will put the uncurrent nuisance
out for a whole dollar if they get hall
a chance, and hen refuse to take
them in for more than 80 cents. The
illegal uncurrent, unlawful things
ought to be redeemed and retired by
the nation, and without delay. They
are a swindle in their present condi-
ton. The present bullion value of a
trade dollar in London is about 92
cents, while the regular standard sill
yer dollar is worth there less than SO
cents. We are not in London, how
ever, and must therefore stand the
shave, if we handle trade dollars.
