Speak ON Danviile aud Copiah.

the flfty-sevcn Democrats who opposed
him IN caucus. He says That IL Mr.. Cox
OF New York, and Mr.. Converse, Of Ohio
promised in Ohio last tall that the wool
tariff should be restored, they did so with.
out authority. lie further says that IL MIR
Converse does not propose 10 return home
as announced, until the duty on wool /,
increased TO what II was before the last re.
vision Of the tariff. 1t will be long time
before he will 90 there. His best card now
he evidently thinks, is TO continue TO Offer
a reduction OF the internal revenue in ex.
change for votes for his tariff bin. Your
representative says he cannot vote fol
the bill even IL coupled with re-
duciion OF the tax on tobacco, because he
believes an alliance OF the two measures
will not help but hurt the abolition OF the
tobacco tax. He says, however. the Nor
risoH- Carlisle plan is that intcrnal-reycnue
reformers are to vote for the Morrison
bin, but IL il fails, as it will, then tariff
reformerS are 10 do nothing whatever
towards acknowledgements reduction. lie
thinks such q compromise Is very much
like the reciprocity o! the Canadian treaty.
which was all ola one side. The practical
question with Mr.. Morrison Is 10 ascertain
beyond 4 doubt how many votes he can get
IN favor OF taking IN and considering his
hill. Until he aSceraius this he cannot fix
q day for its consideration.
THE EDUCATIONAL BILL.
The Senate resumed the consideration OF
the Blair bill to-day, and fears were ex-
pressed hy some OF its friends that the Re-
puhlicans intended TO so amend it rs TO
make it utterly Objectionable to the Demo
Gratis Of the House. 1t has, however, a
number Of Republican friends who would
not. take it, aid IN doing this. Senator
Coke spoke against it, and replied TO the
speech OF Senator George, OF Mississippi
There has been no ADLER speech during the
debate than that Of Senator Lamar. The
opponents Of the bin this morning admit
ted that il would pass in some shape.
senator Blair expects 20 reach a vote on
the educational bill tomorrow, even if il
necessitates anight session. Mr.. Willis. in
the House, this evening asked unanimous
consent TO take up his educational bill.
which is simil r 10 the Blair bill. and its
friends regretted that Mr.. Tucker objected.
SENATOR LAMAR on COPIAH AND DANvILLE.
At the proper time Senator Lamar pro-
poses TO make a speech on the Copiah and
Danville riots, in which he will explain
the causes that lead to such collisions. He
will also show why il is that in Mississippi.
where there is n negro majority, the Demo-
Gratis carry the elections. He says this is
not only due to the fact that many negroes
vote the Democratic ticket and others be-
cause of political apathy remain at home,
but because the Democrats have a compact
and active organization that brings oct a
full vote OF is party, and uses all fair means
10 secure its triumph.
POLITICAL SPECULATi0NS.
Those who are for Edmunds and Lincoln
say tonight that Blaine is not As strong as
represented. because the men who were
for him at Chicago before are against him
now. They allude to Chandler, Hale.
FRYE, and Ingcrsol. have not heard up
10 this lime as many people predict the
nomination OF Tilden and Hendricks as
did to-day at the Capitol. The old ticket
had quite boom.
