frSe's speech Came be Pooh-poohed /.
INV York Post.

1t will not do to pooh pooh Fry's
speech by declaring, as correspondents
and editors are already doing, that he
merely revamped old stories of eutrages
at the South. Its distinguishing feature
was the magazine of brand-ne outrages.
The items of Southern violence and in
tolerance were almost entirely connected
with the most recent elections, as, for in
stance, his vivid description of "the
dead-line for Garfield niggers," stretch
ed by Democrats in front of
the polls in a Mississippi town. The
speech has made deep impression, and
in spite of Democratic effort to divert its
force and bring the debate back to the
"foul bargain" issue, it will give dis
tinctly low turn TO the Senate proceed
ings. That it was prepared and deliver
ed with the sympathy and cooperation
of the administration is assumed as
matter of course. 1t is said that the
Southern Senators will try to hurt Gar
field, on account of Frye's speech, by
helping Conkling. So did the Volscians

THE SENATE CONTEST.

As we have before stated. we depre-
cate and regret the existence of the Sen
ate deadlock, and would gladly see it
brought to an end, or in some wsy rene
died, in order that the public business,
which is now suffering in consequence,
might be in part, if not wholly, relieved.
But, while so deprecating the unfortunate
state of affairs, it must not be forgotten
that there is q question of honor, and q
question of right as against wrong at
taching to the matter, which makes it
necessary to look at the subject in all its
bearings before rendering Judgment.
or rather some party, is to
blame. The responsibility for the pres
emit obstruction of the business of the
government, belongs somewhere, and in
view of the fact that there are but two

When tine Lion ROars, Look Out.
NeWYOrk Tribune

This fine effort of the imagination ap-
peared in an alleged letter in the Con-
"serri0l Adoertiser last evening: "Proba-
bly, the coolest and most unconcerned
man in Washington at the present mo-
ment is Roscoe Conkling He does not
exhibit any evidences of restlessness or
anxiety, and Is apparently quite con-
sleeping lion. When he does wake up
his assailants will hear his roar, and it
viii be well for them if they keep out of
his reach" If the President does not
back down when he reads that he is q
bold man. 1t should be placarded in
the Senate: "Look out for the lion when
he roars!"

parties Ia the Senate, there certainly ought
not to be any great difficulty in centering
and fastening that responsibility. 1t Is
well understood now that the Republi-
cans are in the majority, and because
they are in the majority they demand the
right accorded TO all legislative bodies,
to rule: but the Democratic minority, in
consequence of certain needed regula
tons necessary to obviate such a course,
have the power, and are using it, to pre-
vent the exercise of the right of the ma
jority. and hence the deadlock The ma
jority having the right on their side, re-
fuse to yield, while the minority, hay
ing the power to thwsrt, choose TO exer-
else it. Such, in brief, is the
situation The ostensible reason for
their conduct, assigned by the minor
ity, Is to prevent the Republicans from
electing the Senate officers, but the real
reason is because the Senate officers,
whom the Republicans would elect, are
Objectionable and, in one case obnox-
ious, to the Democrats, and because fur
Their. in the election of the said officers,
they discover an entering wedge to the
splitting, breaking up and final dismem-
berment of the Democratic party in the
South. 1t is this particular result that
the minority would prevent and because
they would prevent it the deadlock pre-
| walls. A characteristic trait of the Dem
| ocratic party Is opposition, it knows
| nothing and studies nothing but opposi-
ton; in fact, it occupies its normal con-
| dition only when in opposition and would
seem totally unnatural when acting in
any other role. This truth has been ex-
| emplifed in q number of instances ex-
tending oyer period of twenty years OF
more, as for instance, their opposition to
the war of the Rebellion; their opposition
to every measure suggested or offered fol
| the suppression of the rebellion; then
| opposition to the issue of the greenback
| currency, to national banks, to the free
dom of the slaves, to the punishment OF
Il
to the resumption law, and SO on "a
infnituns always opposing; never favor
ing, and now we find them opposed te
the right of the majority-a right never
before questionable rule, and, hence
to properly conduct and manage tn,
affairs of the government. Certainly, il
the light of the foregoing, it ought no
to be difficult to place the responsibility
for the deadlock, and with equal Ger
tainty it may be said the majority, thu
Republicans, rather than yield, should
stand firm, rockrooted, as it were, unit
doomsday, that not only their right
but the principle involved in the ques
ton shall be fully and completely sub

Northern Serfs.

The following is an extract from the
speech recently delivered in the United
States Senate by Mr.. Frye, of Maine. 1t
is reply to the speech of Senator Call,
of Florida, when he alluded to the
workingmen of New England as ''serfs- :"
The extract tells the balance of the story.
Read it:
"Well, Mr. President, live in one of
the New England States. l live in a
manufacturing city, a city which manu-
features the cotton raised in the South,
and l know something about the manu-
featuring employees of New England,
more, evidently, than the distinguished
Senator from Florida knows.
"Why, Mr.. President. the South does
not know anything about the laborer of
the North. There is no more comparison
between the laboring men of the South
and the laboIing men of the North than
there is between white and black. On
the one hand labor has been disgraced
by 100 years of slavery; on the other
hand it has been honored, made free,
made Independent, made dignified, made
proud, and when the gentlemen from the
South talk about 'serfs' in New England
manufactures, they do not know what
they are talking about
81 s say "a ~. Ia, Senator from Florida,
1000 adult ehployes, men and women
and he may Select the best village in thu
whole State Sf Florida, having 0OC
adults, men and women, as its inhabit
ants, and he may exclude every colored
person from that number, and then will
tak a thaoa mill
with the agent and going down through,
and will compare them, man to man,
and woman to woman, and in dignity OF
character, IN intelligence, in education,
in every manly and womanly virtue, in
property, in prosperity, the employees OF
that mill can discount the 900 selected
from in Florida
"Serfsi Men to be bulldozed and in
timidatedi If the Senator from Florida
had had the operatives of Massachusetts
down there during the bloody. history of
that State, and the Conservatives had I'M
dertaken to intimidate and bulldoze
them by the methods then prevailing in
Louisiana, there would not have been
enough Conservatives left to-day to form
the decent nucleus of party.
"Ah, il Is easy to shoot labor where it
has been ground down for 100 years by
slavery. 1t is different thing to point
pistol and look at the eye of free
white man, and bulldoze such an en-
ploye. Starving and hungry employees!
Let me tell the Senator from Florida that
the operatives and mechanics of
Massachusetts to-day have laid by
in the savings banks of that
Commonwealth money enough to pur-
chase the whole State of Florida, real
estate and personal property, five times
over, and have $50, 900, 900 left. laugh
ter and applause in the galleries.) The
valuation of Florida is only about $780,
600, 900 of real estate and personal prop
erty, and the laboring men and women
of Massachusetts, have to-day on deposit
in that State in the savings banks over
$500, 600. 900.

They Want Them Counted.
New York Tribune.

Congressman Manning agrees with all
other Southern statesmen that the "nig-
gers" would get slong all right if they
would let politics alone. When the
census is taking these statesmen are anx-
ious to have all the" niggers" counted, and
when the Congressional superintendent
is made they are anxious to have each
"pigger" count as much as a white man.
But there the counting must stop. The
"niggers" have no right to say who shall
represent them in Congress, who shall
govern them at home, or who shall be
President. Just as soon IS they meddle
with any of these questions they get into
politics, and trouble begins.
