To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
We have discussions here as to the free-trade
sentiments of Senator Voorhees,. Democrat
bets me that Voorhees, never made the speech
of which the within slip is an extract. Can you
furnish me the speech? This slip is from Sen
ator Harrisons late speech GEO. L. GATES.
CENTERvILLE, Ind, Sept 30.
The extract is as follows:
cit is true that had the power would go further
than this position of the executive. Free trade with
all the markets of the world is the true theory of gov
eminent No nation should prevent its citizens from
buying wherever their hard earnings will buy most
and 90 furthest If Hottentot can make and sell a
bolt of CLOTH of muslin, calico, cheaper than
New England senator who few days since asked for
increased protection to his manufactures (Mr.
Sprague) it is the right of any aborer in this broad
land to pass by the civilized but rapacious Senator and
obtain from the barbarian better return for the
sweat of his brow. For revenue would look to the
actual wealth of the country and make it contribute
accordingly. But this just and philosophical system
of trade and government is not within reach,
and content to accept the recommendation of the
President to adjust the present mpost system to the
basis of revenue alone and not Of protection. 1t is
step in the direction of true and practical reform.
This portion of Mr.. Voorhees, speech delivered
in the House of Representatives in 1866, will be
found on pages 251-2 of the printed volume of
Daniel W. Voorhees, speeches, published in 1875
- his son Charles S. Voorhees,. 1t is literal
copy of the Senator'S words.

| We are authorized to contradict
the report to the effect that Hon. II
L. Muldrow promised at the las
Convention, if nominated at thai
time he would not run again. There
is not syllable of truth in the re-
port He never made any sucf
promise. He voluntarily reires from
the field in which he has so efficient,
ly labored for 8 years without being
trammeled by any pledges or de.
clarations, and without q blemish
upon his official Character &arb
gi1le Citizen.
We are surprised to hear that such
a report has been in circulation. His
last nomination was the result of q
hard and manly contest, and obtain
ed without other pledge than that he
would be as true to the interests OF
his people in the 4Sth Congress as
he had been in the 45th, 46th and
47th, and this pledge be has glori-
ously fulfilled.
No man is more sensitive to the
demands of honor than Henry
Muldrow, and our readers have not
forgotten his withdrawal from the
contest for nomination several years
ago because o faithful friend had
written to an opposing candidate
that be would not be in the field.

The Railway Commission,

JACKSON, May THE Railway
Commission met here to-day, with
Hon. J. NJ. Stone in the chair. The
following railroads which have had
their tariffs on file for some time we're
examined and approved: Memphis
& Charleston, Alabama Central, Mis-
sissippi & Tennessee, Ship Island,
Ripley & Kentucky, New Orleans,
Baton Rouge, Vicksburg s. Memphis.
Several railroads in the State after
having been duly apprised of the
provision in the commission bill COM
pelling them to file with the Com
missioners their tariff rates for revl-
sion or acceptance, have failed to do
50, and the Commission decided that
for all such railroads it would proceed
to fix rates at its next meeting.
From the above special which we
clip from the Vicksburg Herald, it
will be seen that some five or six
of the railroads fled their tariffs with
the Commissioners in compliance
with the recent act Of the Legislature,
and that all of the tariffs fled "were
examined and approved" Phis be-
ing the case, and the inference being
in favor of the Commissioners under
stanling their business, the conclu-
sion is inevitable that the corpora
tions have been "doing the right
thing" all the time, in the way of
| charges-and have been exacting
fair and reasonable rates from ship
pers, and that all the loud mouthed
denunoiation hurled upon their de-
voted heads by supervisionists inside
the Legislature and outside Of it, was
mere buncomb and balderdash.
AS to the Commission fixing rates
for the other railroads sat its next
meeting," we suppose that will in
| volve another little discussion before
the courts if the matter has not al
ready been definitely settled by
Judge Hill's recent decision.

Death Of Hon Judah II Benjamin

| A cablegram of the 7th inst, an
nounces the death in his apartments
in Avenue Jena, Paris, of the great
statesman, iurist and orator, Hon.
Judah p. Benjamin, ez Secretary ol
State of the Southern Confederacy,
and an acknowledged leader of the
Bar of two continents.
Mr., Benjamin was well advanced
in years and has been in feeble
health ever since he received a violent
fall while deoending from tramway
car several years go.
He was born on the Island Of 81
Domingo, in 1912, but was brought
to Savannah, Ga, by his parents in
1916. His education was mainly
attained in the common schools;
though he entered Yale College his
means did not admit of bis remain.
ing long enough to graduate, In
1881 he went to New Orleans where
he supported himself by teaching
school while studying law. He was
admitted to the bar in 1884, and
rapidly rose to leadership in the pro-
fession, and to national fame as an
impassioned orator.
Entering the political field he
espoused the cause of the Wing
party, and iu 1852 he was elected to
U. S. Senate. He was re>elected in
1859. During the exciting days and
SCIENCES that preceded the withdrawal
of the Southern States from the
Union, he occupied perhaps the most
conspicuous attitude Of any Senator
from his section, his wonderful
speech on December 31st 1860 being
regarded and accepted by the South
as its vindication and defence, In
the succeeding February he with
drew from the Senate, and was at
once appointed Attorney General Of
the Provisional Government of the
Confederate States, He was AFTER
wards for short time Secretary Of
War, and became subsequently, Sec
retary of State, holding that impor.
tant portfolio up to the death Of the
Conioderaoy, when in company with
several other notable Confedarates
he escaped to Cuba in an open boat,
and going thence to London entered
upon a c'reer at the jealous English
Bar, only possible to a man possess,
ed of the most wonderful resources
of mind and wealth Of attainments.
Tuose who knew aud appreciated the
wonderful genius of the man, were
not surprised al his attaining high
rank at the British bar and being
the recipient OF princely fo7, but
they were surprised 10 learn that he
had saved from his earnings q com.
petence for his old age; for in Loui-
siana bis earnings usually went to
his friends, for his fees were almost
invariably devoted to paying securi>
ty debls. He never could refuse to
endorse a note, and had no talent or
knack for taking care of money.
In Louisiana there are thousands
of people who will drop tear to the
memory of the dead advocate, while
among men of brains and letters
throughout the world his loss will
be keenly felt.
