Brown Retorts.

WASHINGTON, June lb.-lne cOnsld
Grafton of the Utah bill was resumed
Senator Brown having the floor. Reply
ing to Senator Hoar, Senator Brown said
the Senator from Massachusetts, had
charged him Brown with having for q
great part of his life sustained an institu-
ton which prohibited a legal marriage
among part of the people of Georgia.
THE sYsTEM OF SLAVERY,
to which the Senator from Massachusetts,
has called attention, originated in Massa-
chusetts, and the South derived much of
its slavery from hat State. Senator
Brown read from Elliott's History of New
England to show hat the people of
Massachusetts, bought and held as slaves
Scotchmen, ~Irishmen, Indians, negroes
and mulattoes and that they sent cargoes
of rum to Africa exchanging the rum for
slaves, some of which they sold; that they
kidnapped Indians and sold them into
slavery; that some prohibited baptism to
their slaves; that the
MARRIAGE RELATION WAS DIsREGARDED
that they sold negro women and children
in open market, and advertised a woman
with a child six months old to be sold
together or separate to suit the pur-
chaser; that they raised slaves for market
and when they found it Improbable to
raise them in the climate of Massachu-
sets, they gave away the negro children

them. The charter of Georgia, Senator
Brown continued, originally forbade slay-
cry and while Massachusetts, was import
ing slaves and selling them for profit,
Georgia was refusing to hold them.
FINALLY GEORGIA ADOPTED SLAVERY,
purchasing part of her slaves from Massa-
chusetts. The Senator from Massachu-
sets had said there was a large number of
mulattoes to be accounted for in the South.
He, Brown did not claim That the South
was %guiltless in this particular. His eff
fort had been to show that no section of
the country was guiltless. He read from
various historical works to show that a
large number of mulattoes were always
found in Massachusetts during the time
slavery prevailed there and when in 1883
Massachusetts, passed an act expelling
from the state all negroes, the court held
that the act applied to mulattoes. 1t may
have been very natural to expel negroes
from Massachusetts,. but it seemed a little
unnatural to expel mulattoes; not that they
were akin to the people of Massachusetts,
but possibly because
THE CLIMATIC INFLUENCES
had changed their color until they were
more in the likeness of the good people of
that state. The cold, bleaching winds of
Massachusetts, or some other cause, had
modified the ebony color of the African in
that state, and had Infused a compound of
yellow, so that they are no lon
ger called negroes, but mulattoes.
After these mulattoes, whether nat
urally or unnaturally, had been expelled
from Massachusetts,, they doubtless took
refuge in the Southern States, and their
descendants there have multiplied,
STILL TRANSMITTING MODIFIED COLOR,
inherited from the climatic influences of
Massachusetts. Senator Brown, in the
course of his remarks, regretted the alb
sence of Senator Hoar. AS he concluded
Senator Hoar entered and said it was
hardly necessary to reply to what the
honorable gentleman had said, as on look
ing into the chamber during the course of
