ties Mr.. Douglass had lived to see the
triumph of the cause for which he contended
L few fitting words the speaker introduced
Mr.. Douglass, who was to respond to the
toast, The Day" Every allusion to Mr.
Douglass was greeted with applause and
now when his head of silvery hair was seen
to rise above those about him, the applause
increased and continued several minutes
Mr.. Douglass in response said the title of the
toast to which he was to respond was small
to the eye and ear but large to the under
standing. Twenty years ago to-day slavery
was forever abolished in our land. He re-
viewed at length the struggle of the
colored race for liberty and equality,
and pictured the triumph which they
had accomplished. From the lowest
depths the colored race had risen until they
filled some OF the highest positions in the
land: The president of the evening had
hlled the chair of a senator OF the United
States, and as such had sat as presiding
officer of that body, the highest legislative
body in our land and one of the most honor
able in the worlds history. He alluded to
some words in a speech of the great Irish
orator, Grattan, who said lie had rocked the
liberty of his country in it's cradle
and had lived to follow it to its grave
Then abiding to the struggle of liberty
among the colored race of America, he said:
Il rocked it in its cradle and witnessed its
growth, and l have lived, thank God"-here
the applause and Mr.. Douglass emotion
smother the remainder of the sentence The
price of liberty" he said. is eternal vigil
ance. If we are to keep pace with the world
we must be more than driftwood in the
stream" He reeounted the difficulties in
the way of tine colored mans advancement.

VanCpd bIf n the don't his
from which he has come" Here Mr.. Doug
lass spoke with emotion, and the question,
Where are WEI" placing greater emphasis
on the words each time. He concluded by
saying nothing has occurred in the last
thing to vindicate the confidence of friends
and put to shame the gloomy predictions of
all the enemies of the coIored man.

A Reporter in Peril.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. "A reporter of the Globe
Democrat visited Carondelet last evening to
interview the iron-workers of the Vulcan
Mills. He met party of men in a saloon,
headed by Boss Dawson, and was only
saved from being mobbed by the efforts of
two police officers. Afterward the reporter,
accompanied police sergeant to the Knights
of Pythias ball, where these men tapped him
on the shoulder called him by name, and DO
litely requested him to step outside for a
minute. The reporter complied, when he
was suddenly struck a violent blow in the
face and a thrust made at him with knife
which penetrated his clothing and skin at a
point opposite the left lung. A couple OF po-
lice officers opportunely arrived and inter
fered and Dawson, who is believed to have
committed the assault, was arrested.
1t would seem, in view of the fact that
Dawson was released on payment of S. fine,
that the above account is somewhat exag-
perated

During his visit here, your correspondent

Republican nominee for Congress from the
Ninth District. He expresses himself as
quite hopeful of the present race, and is 60

read to him that portion of "Jayhawker's'
letter in which DoXey is quoted as having
burned certain letters relating to Venezuela
matters-letters that would have exonerated
Mr. Orth--and asked him what he had say in
reply.
You can say" said Mr. Doxey, that the
story is an infamous lie, and You can sign my
name to the statement" Then he added:
The store is entirely false. At the time
mentioned l was not the son-in-law OF the
Hon. Thomas Sulwell; | never had any let

burned or destroyed any; never saw any

Hon. A. Fl. Conner Elected President Pro
Tenn. of the Nebraska Senate.


Tenn. of the Nebraska Senate.
LINCOLN, Jan. 2.-The Legislature convened
at noon. The Senate is organized in opposi-
ton to the Republican party. A. H. Conner,
of Buffalo county pronounced anti-monop-
opolist of Republican antecedents, was elected
president pro TEN. A committee was selected
to name the standing committees for the
session, taking that power away from the
Lieutenant governor; this committee is
headed by Brown, of Douglass, straight
Democrat.
The House was organized straight Repub-
lican, with G.. NJ. Humphrey, of Pawnee,
Speaker and b. d. Slaughter, chief clerk. 1t
is thought By careful observers that the hos
tiity between the TWO houses will make the
session ineffective All forecasts OF the sena-
torial struggle are merely guesses; al least a
dozen candidates have equal strength. The
balloting begins next Tuesday.

An Iowa Man Kindly Points Out New Glass
of Pensioners.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal


Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WAsH'N GToN, Jan. 2.-It has frequently
been asserted by uncharitable and unpatriotic
persons that the obligations of the Govern
ment were being enlarged beyond reason in
the matter of pensions, but the following
sentiment which gentleman in Iowa writes
to the Committee on Invalid Pensions, would
suggest the last straw, etc He says:
wish to bring to your attention the fact
that there were men in the rebel army that
were loyal TO the Union all during the war;
that these men used their influence against
the rebels, and were beneficial to the Federal
army. Frequently they escaped from the
Southern to the Union army, but by mistake
were held as prisoners of war. While in
prison their health was permanently ruined,
and sometimes they were wounded. Would
it be too much 10 ask you. when the proof is
positive in such cases, to allow such men a
penslon?'
