CONGRESS YESTERDAY,

In the U. s. Senate, yesterday, Mr..
Herman introduced a joint resolution
authorizing the President to invite the
participation of foreign nations in the
New York Worlds Fair, and Mr.. Wal
lace introduced bill for the relief of
the Reading Railroad Company. Mr..
Hoar, of Massachusetts, offered reso-
luton instructing the Judiciary Com
mitlee to consider and report whether
the assembling at the National Capi-
tai of large bodies of armed troops not
under command of United States Off
GERS be not likely to prove dangerous
in future, etc. After debate, the resolu-
ton went over. Mr.. Wallace addressed
the Senate on his constitutional amend
ment providing for the election OF Presi-
dent by the district system and popular
vote. The Pos office Appropriation bill
was considered, and the decision OF the
Char against the amendment appropriat-
ing $1,000, 600 for postal service in
American vess Is was overruled, the
vote on sustaining the decision being
ayes, Is; naes, 20. Pending action, the
Senate went into executive session, and
soon afterwards adjourned.
In the House nothing was done be-
yond the passage Of a.number Of private
local bills.

THE CoLoRED ELDoRADo.

The tide of black emigration from the
. 1uthern TO the Western States has, Gu
rious to say, been arrested with the
close OF The PRESIDENTIAL campaign. Ae-
eordlng to the Southern journals the
black man has ceased to turn his ewes
Aansaswafd, and the Georgia and Ala
pana negroes who, under the leader
ship OF political demagogues, all last
summer and all last tall were making
up the line OF march to Indiana and
other Western States are now moving
INTO the rich cotton belt in the Mlssissz
llppl Valley aud the sugar fields of
Louisiana. In an economic point Of
view this chahge in the current OF black
emigration, is fortunate for The coIored
man himself aud tor the country. The
South IS the natural home of the black
race, and the vexatious problems of
politics once solved, as they are steadi-
ly being solved, there can be ho doubt
that the blacks will be more bappiar
aud more prosperous than they could
ever become in the West, with its keen
and eager competition. The demapog.

Quarter Sessions.

CONTINUATION OF THIS MORNINGS q
SESSION A HIGHWAY ROBBERY
TRIAL.
The charge held that though Fer.
guson's desertion from the army de.
prlved him OF his rights as a citizen Of
the United States, and rendered him an
alien, in fact, not entitled to the protec-
ton Of the general government or to
hold any office of trust or profit under it,
he was not thereby any less citizen oi
Delaware, entitled to tate part in its
affairs. The jury were therefore instruc-
ted that Ferguson had iighs TO vote,
and that his ballot was improperly re-
] cted.
On the point that Tyre knowingly and
wilfully rejected the vote, 1.-The charge said
this was a matter of fact for the jury to
determine. The case of the state rs
Robt. Mcdonnell, in 4th Harrington,
was cited, where the Court held that an
Inspector Is the judge of the election,
and if he made mistakes, with no corrupt
intention he was not to be held liable.
The reading of the report occupied
about twenty minutes.
At 1915 o'clock the jury retired.
James Christy, of New Castle, who
pleaded guilty to charge of selling
liquor without license, was fined $50
and cNsts.
state VS.. Robert Herrick and Sam |
Hamilton, charged with highway rob
berry. Deputy Attorney General
Cooper for the State, aud HarrySharp-
ley, Esq., for the defense.
The facts, as alleged by the State,
were as follows: On last Christmas
eve. about midnigh, James Hopkins
left the Logan House, at the middle
railway station, and was followed by
the prisoners, who finally, on Scott
street, assaulted him, knocked him
down and robbed him of his overcoat,
vest, cap, a box Of collars, two pairs
OF stockings, and pocket book con
tanning some meney.
James Hopkins, the prosecuting
witness, took the stand, testified to
the facts as above stated, and identi-
ned the prisoners as the parties who
committed the assault and robbery
AAS S"AN ehO ofdlCOdl Was VIOLIN o. DU
the vest 81 90, the cap ten cents, purse
90 cents, collars 80 cents and stock
ings so cents. He recovered the over
coat AID stockings.
When the State closed Counsellor
Sharpley, for the defense addressed
the Court, claiming that the indict-
ment was insufficient, inasmuch as il
did not specifically aver that the Of
fense was committed in New Castle
county.
The Court over ruled the objection,
and the defense called witnesses to
prove that one of the defendants, Ham
llton, was at the Columbus Inn from
~ TO 2 O'Clock during the night the
otiense was committed.
In rebuttal the State called Joseph
Il. Carpenter, Jr., who testified that
the Columbus Inn is only about ten
minutes walk from Scott street, where
the assault occurred.
The case was argued quite fully,
counsel for the defense claiming that
the testimony indicated that the al
legged assault and highway robbery
was merely drupken row between
the three men.
At O'Clock the arguments were
finished, and the jury were discharged
until 3 o'clock. and the Court took a
recess, the jury in Philip Tyres case
being still out.

GOLD FOUND IN ALASKA.


SAN Francisco, CAL, Feb. 9.-The
steamer California, thirteen days out
from Sitka, brings the sensational
news that Alaska is affected with a
gold fever. Some months ago genu~
inc quartz groupings were discovered
near the Token river, about eighty
miles north of Sitka. The indications
of rich lead were SO stroRg that the
discovery created quite an excitement
which has been increased with every
breath of news from the Eldorado.
Specimens of quartz brought from a
visit TO the mines by Captain Carroll
have been assayed as high as from
three thousand dollars to ten. 1t is of
whitesh yellow, profusely sprinkled
with sulphur-rSck, and is Iich enough
IL found in large quantities, to make
a bonanza prince OF every man there.
Sitka appears to have become imbued
with the idea that no means of impor-
tatiOn can be furnished until the Cali
fornia returns. The excited mer-
chants have to remain in Sitka at pres
ent. According TO the best authenti-
Gated reports, however, they are put
ting down their stores and packing
their mining implements for a trip to
that district, and when the California
goes back she will transform the lone
ly station there into busy mining
camp. AT present there are about fif-
ty men at the gold field, though Cap
tain Carroll says but eleven claims
have been located. The mines can't
be worked before the end of March,
but while waiting for the snow to
melt, adventurers still lay out tfeir
town. The California will take back
all the lumber she can carry.
