was the only being to whom Aaron
Burr was ever sincerely attached. Burr
came back to New York after the failure
Of his Texas scheme and made prepara-
tons to visit Europe. He was very poor
AZ the time, and, in order to raise
money, be mOrtgaged his home, Rich
mond Hill, to Astor for $50, 600. The
mortgage was . peculiar one for the
times: 1t provided that, in the event Of
Burr being unable to meet the principal

return the 81, 600, and 80 Aston got the
place: He held on to it, and it laid the
foundation of his later millions. The
AstOrs own 1t yet, and It Is among the
most valuable Of their possessions. Burr
during his stay In England claimed, in
order to get some place under the Brit

subject all his life, notwithstanding he
had been Vice President of the United

at last returned to New York. He tried

2 | will say for the contestant that
his presentation OF his own case before

foreible, able, and admirable that if the
argument had then closed without op-
portuniTy for reilly on cur side, he
would have gaine,i an easy victory.
will say further tor Mr.. Lynch, from
what | know o. him and what | have
heard, that in point Of iatelligc cnce. char
aeter, honesty purpose, ana menfai cal

man of his race in this country
The argument OF Hon. Stewart l..

The Negro Vindicated.

The Negro can afford to stand the
abuse and structures of smaller men
and not revile against them for the
worriment when it is productive OF
such valiant defense as that which
recently came from the Hon. Geo. +
Hoar. Senator from Massachusetts,.
We should much prefer to have the
backsliding reproaches of Senator
Jones remain part of the Congress
ional Record than to lose the follow
ing noble and disinterested tribute
to the race, delivered by Senator
Hoar, in the course OF his speech on
the Chinese bill:
"Who now so bold as 10 deny to
the colored race fitness for citizen
ship. Twenty years have not pass
ed bv since the children of the AT
rican savage were emancipated from
slavery. In that brief space they
have vindicated their title to the
highest priv eges and their fitness
tor the highest duties of citizenship.
These despised .savages have sat in
the House and in the Senate. | have
served with them for twelve years
in both branches. Can you find an
equal number, chosen on any prin-
ic pie of selection, whose conduct b s
been marked by more uniform goo..
sense and propriety? | have seen
most accomplished debaters unhors-
ed with as dexterity as courtesy by
one of this despised race. Coming
to his place in the community, he
has shown no memory OF his centu-
ries of wrong. Revenge and hate.
those fires of hell, can find no fuel IN
the negro's breast. When Massa-
chusetts desired to provide for TT
ting eulogy to her great Senator she
summoned to her service two OF the
most famous orators in the country.
1t is no injustice to those accom-.
plished gentlemen to declare that
their masterpieces did not surpass
the address delivered in Faneul
Hall on the same theme by Robert
B. Elliott, of South Carolina, full
blooded African. Oae of this people
has but lately left the Senate. We
have all of us seen him here. l have
seen him sitting in the chair where
you now preside. In courtesy, mod
esty, dignity, wisdom, tact, in what
other needed quality did he fall be-
low the character of an American
Senator

SENATOR GEoRGE's concluding dec
laration in his Chinese speech is re-
markell bic. Reduced to plain Ian
guage, it is that he casts his vote as q
white man to kick the Chinese out,
hoping that should the contest eve,
arise his white brethren of the Pacific
slope would vote with him to kick the
Negro out. We venture the sugges-
tion that the Pacific States would re-
ceiye the colored people with open
arms. Further, while there is cotton
and corn to be raised in the South, the
politician who would vote away its
colored laborers could not find safe
footing on Southern soil. They are
enemies to the country who directly
or indirectly seek to disturb the peace
full relationship between the races.

the candidates have been fixed upon

rebuke to the party in power for allow
ing the fair name of the State to suf-
fer as it has under the present fraudu-
lent election law, for the evils of the
convict system, and other shortcom-
ings that might be mentioned.
The Democracy seem to have antici-
pated this state Of the public mind,
and therefore want long campaign,
as is indicated by the action Of the
chairman of the State Executive Com
mittee in calling together that body al
early as the Both Of this month.
They are evidently afraid to submit
their record before the intelli gent
public without long and weary can
vass Of explanation and coaxing to
allay opposition and just indignation
among honest voters. This game,
however, will not succeed. The long
er the canvass the more light will be
turned upon their misdeeds.
While the enemy are thus early
moving for the field. it is not we'll fol
the opposition to be asleep. Let us
remember that it is not defensive
battle, but an aggressive one, that
must be fought to redeem the State.

STATE OF ALABAMA,
MADISON COUNTY.

MADISON COUNTY. !
Personally appeared before mo A. W.
Mccullough, United States Commission
er; Robert w. Figg who is known to me
and being duly sworn deposes and says:
that he has just seen for the first time the
following statements made in an answer of
Joseph Wheeler to motion made by Will
liam NJ. Lowe, to wit:
I" Another Commissioner, Robert W.
Figg Esq. declined to take Evidence for Con-
festee. Record Page 1419.
This statement is SO clearly made for the
purpose of creating a false impression that
afiant deems it his duty to contradict it
by this affidavit. The contestee never ap-
piled to atfiant to issue on subpoena, or to
set day, or to take any step preparatory
to taking evidence for him.
Affiant would have taken evidence or per
formed any official act or duty as willingly
for the Contestee as for the Contestant.
Affiant remembers that on one occasion,
being the last day for taking evidence for
he wanted him (affiant) to sit and take evil
dence in the stead of L. G. Barclay whom
he was informed was sick ana could not
act, and in case VIM. II. Councill could not
act on the night OF the day that this con-
versation occurred. Afiant informed the
Contestee that he affiant, was trying a case
as ustice of the Peace and would not prob
ably finish it in time. Contestee said that
he only wished affiant to act in the event
Barclay or Council could not act. Aft
ant learned that on the night in question
said Council did act in taking said evil
dence.
Affiant is forced reluctantly to believe
that said application was made by said
Wheeler to afiiant, not bona tide, but for
the purpose OF having some apparent
ground upon which to base said false
charge, as he never before this time asked
if would take deposition for him.
Attiant was not a partizan and supporter
of Win IL Lowe, as Contestee seems anx-
lous to make him appear. Afiiant with re-
gret admits that he supported said Joseph
Wheeler tor Cougress.
