A GOoxi SIgu.

A gentleman Iateiy rom Tallahassee, Fla, mentions two very interesting facts as illustrating the present outlook for the farmers of the "Black Belt" of which that city is the center. The cot ton and crops of cotton and corn the present year have been considerably above the average. The second Is that the negro farmers, after selling their cotton at good prices, are paying of rents to owners of the land and to the merchants the advances. by which they were assisted in making their crops-these debts being secured by liens-and, with most exemplary hon- esty, are also paying off old debts-the accumulati0ns ofyears-for which there was no liens or other security and instead Of showing any disposition to spend the remainder, take it home with them and lay it by. lie says he actually heard as matter of complaint by very wealthy Tallahassee merchant, who having no credit, was collecting no old debts, that the negroes were buying little or nothing; on the contrary, were boarding their money. Similar stories come from the negroes in every part of the State. Those who are industrious. economical and prudent are almost in- variably doing well. They have built up innumerable comfortable homes. and good many of them are accumu. lating property. The most gratifying feature of this thrift is the fact that the negroes are keeping up their churches. educating their children, and living in peace and real friendship with the whites.

JUSTICE LAMAR.
Comments of the New York Press on His
 Confirmation by the Senate.

Comments of the New York Press on His
 Confirmation by the Senate.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The Tribune has long editorial on the confirma- tion of Justice Lamar. After giving its reasons for opposing him 1t says: "These were some of our reasons for opposing MT. Lamar's confirmation. They have seemed sufficient not only to the Republican press of the country, almost without exception, but the thinking men of the party everywhere, as sh own in countless resolutions, let ters, etc. Some Republican Senators have chosen to take another view. They are understood to be Messrs Rid dleberger, Stewart and Stanford. We believe they have made mistake, and hat they win live to see 1t and will perhaps find out before long that their constituents see it also. These were grounds upon which the Republican party was bound to oppose MT. Lamar if it had any faith in its own princi- ples, and the Senators should have done so with solid front. Those we have named seem to have yielded to the sneers and shrugs of the opposition and have virtually allowed the Demo- erats to dictate to the Republican party. This Is poor patriotism and the worst kind of politics"
 On the same subject the World says: 1.-The result marks William k. Chand- ler's first failure as . bloody-shirt leader in the Senate"
 TheSun says: Ut is not improper to saythat the Republican fight against MT. Lamar has been a bungling piece of business from the beginning"
 The Times says: "The prompt con- firmation of the nomination of MT. Lamar as Justice of the Supreme Court so soon as the question could be brought to a vote Is a severe blow to the petty politicians who have been trying to re- yive the war feeling in connection with this appointment. The position of the little clique of self-appointed Republi- can leaders has been attacked from every side. It is very earnestly to be hoped that the party will take a lesson from this experience, and that the men who have so ignoniniously failed in an attempt so mischievous will be shorn of some of their influence and compelled to give place to others of more sense and with a more decent standard of conduct"

FIFTIETH CONGRESS.
The House.


 WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 20--After a personal explanation from MT. Springer of Illinois relative to his connection with the case involving the rights of the United states in the appropriation made for the Philadelphia Centennial in 1sT6 the House proceeded to the con- sideration of the Thoebe-C Carlisle con- tested election case.
 MT. Crisp opened the debate by re- viewing the proceedings before the Committee on Elections with regard to reopening the case. He justified the majority of the committee in deciding that tho case should not be reopened. The contestant had submitted affidayits charging fraud, and the contestee sub nitted affidsyits and records in reply, which, in the minds of the majority, overwhelmingly established the fact that If the case were reopened the con- testant could net prove q single charge he had made.
 Mir. Lyman of Iowa knew ofno reason why the house should not reopen the case. Grave charges had been made by the contestant in affidavits-ex-parte affidavits, 1t was true--and they had been answered by other ex-parte atfi- usyirs. Strong efforts had been made to prevent an investigation of these charges. We're the contestee and his friends afraid of the truth? Did his friends doubt their ability to go into the Sixth district of Kentucky and es- tablish beyond controversy that the charges Of the contestant were not true2 The fact that there was such constant determination that the events of the election should not be investigated sug- gested to his mind that there was something wrong.
