colored man. He knew that under the
Constitution she could not be paid, and he
did not ask it. He contended that Masss-
chusetts did greater injustice to the Irish in
that State, and to foreigners generally. than
was done to the eolored people in the South.
Mr.. Hampton, in reply to some portion of
Mr.. Frye's speech, asserted that numbers
Of colOred people in South Carolina voted

he promised him that he would
be met on every stand on which he would

Hampton) would join the Republican party.
Mr.. Butler said that If he saw fit he would
at some future time reply at.length to the
illusions made to fraud in South Carolina
by the Senator from Maine. The Senator
had made use of the old dodge of politicians
and lawyers OF calling, ''stop thief" in
order to divert public attention from the
real issue. The real question here was:
Had there been disgraceful bargain In this
Senate by which the offices OF the Senate
were to be turned over to those to whom
they do not belongF
Mr.. Burnside-Or, rather, whether the
majority shall rule or notF
Mr.. Butler = That has nothing to do
with it.
Mr.. Burnside (excitedly)-I say that there
has been no bargain, and any man who says
there has been says what is false. He subse-
quentlY repeated the remark that such
statements were false, and added: 81 do
not,as an honorable man propose, to sit here
and listen to 1t, and any man who says there
is a corrupt bargain on this side of the
chamber tells falsehood."
Mr.. Butler (quietly)-The Senator may
characterize 1t as false as much as he pleases
| say that inasmuch as the Senator has seen
fit to say that the charge is false (after
pause), | will not make 1t in this chamber.
Mr.. Burnside, continuing, said IL evil
dence could be brought to prove bargain
he would vote to expel any member of the
Senate who had been guilty of the thing, or
he would favor a resolution to investigate
the matter.
Mr.. Butler then turned his attention to
Mr.. Frye's speech, which he said had ar
raigned every Senator from the South. He
denied the charges of reputation that were
made against the South, but inquired
whether, admitting their truth, that was any
excuse for the great Republican party throw
ing its powerful weight on the side of
reputation in Virginia. He warned
that party that in tampering
with reputation in that State 1t was deal
ing with dynamite. These tactics were not
going to dissolve the solid South. Just
Maine riVeted the South more than ever,
and drove the people of that section
together. The South would not be dis
solved by Federal patronage. 1t would not
be dissolved by abuse, vituperation or mis-
representation. 1t would not be bullied
into dissolution.
After some further discussion between
Messrs. Hoar and Brown concerning suf-
frage in Massachusetts,, the Senate ad-
journed.

Grier is the gentleman who cast the first
vote in the Chicago Convention for the
nomination of General Garfield, and per-
sisted in thus voting on every ballot from
the second to the last, although for long
time no other delegate joined him. He is
resident of Hazelton, Pennsylvania, and, SO
far as can be learned here, has never held
any public office.
BRADY BOUNCED.
1t is said on good authority that the Pos-
master General, by direction of the President,
to-day demanded the resignation Of ThOs.
J. Brady, Second Assistant Postmaster
General, to take effect Immediately. The
statement is current tonight that no other
course was open which would secure
the speedy severance of Mr.. BradY's
connection with the Post Office Department

might indefinitely postpone the confirma-
tion of his successor. The facts explana-
tory of this summary action on the part of
the President and Postmaster General will,
