WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The Senate, at
o,,iock to-day, resumed consideration of the
+arif bill, the pending question being on
NJ Vests amendment offered last Monday
l., strike ottar of roses off from tho free
~ and TO substitute salt. Without further
d,scnssioD q vote was taken, and the amend
r,ant was rejected by the usual party vote
Of % yeas to 26 nays.
Mr. Allison moved to amend paragraph
179. as to penknives and razors, increasing
oil the rates named in the substitute. At
the suggestion of Mr.. Vest the amendment
went over till tomorrow.
Tho amendment heretofore offered by
Mr. Allison, making the duty on cross-cut
saws 10 and Is cents per linear foot, instead
of 6 and 10 cents, was agreed to.
The amendment heretofore offered by
Mr. Allison as to taggers iron was some
what modified by him; and Mr.. Jones Of
Arkansas moved to put that article on the
Mr. Morgan advocated Mr. Jones' motion
70 mt tin plate on the free list, and made
the point against Mr.. Allison's amendment
that it raised the tax on a tin plant 100 per
cent. not for the purpose Of increasing the
revenues of the government, but for the
purpose Of decreasing them.
ALARAMA's YOUNG NEGROES.
II, the course of a discussion between
Messrs. Morgan and Hawley, as to the rela-
of in, faR inc nd
non-manufacturing states. MIR. Morgan
characterized the young negroes of Alabama
as the most God forsaken people Gn respect
of Industry hat was to be found any where
outside of Agiers, or Morocco, or the great
desert of Sahara. 1t cost fully $4,000 to
raise negro boy from birth to manhood
not to include his stealings and other depre-
dations. If he could, by decree of the
law. or of providence, expel from Alabama
every negro in it, and have barrier erected
so that he could never return, lands in
Alabama would run up to prices greater
than those in Wisconsin. People would
rush there with more eagerness than they
are now showing to try to get into Okla
homa.
Mr.. Blair-Do you consider that it would
be for the interests Of the white southern
people that the negroes should emigrate
from the southern states in bOdys
LIKED WINDOWS SCHEME.
Mr.. Morgan-Not in a body, and not i'm
mediately. But | have been always in
favor of the proposition introduced by
Senator Window of Minnesota, which
looked to the scattering of the negroes into
the northern states. | wish the Senator
from New Hampshire had in his own state
100000 negroes that we can furnish him
from Alabama. l would be very glad in
deed to give them to him l wish that
L
would get up one for the Introduction f
negroes from Alabama into New Hamp-
shire and l will do my best to promote his
society, get some subscribers for it, and get
negroes to migrate.
Mr. Blair-I think it would be quite as
mucb for the interest of my state to en-
courage the colored people of Alabama to
migrate there IS to encourage the white
people Of that state.
ALABAMAIANS WILL KEEP COOL.
Mr. Morgan-The senator may spare
himself ali of his invectives against the
people of Alabama 1t will not produce
any sort of excitement.
Mr. Blair-I will be very glad to limit
my general reflection on the white people
Of Alabama and cOnflne it to the senator
with whom | am in cOllOquy.
Mr.. Morgan-If any providential thing
should keep the senator and me apart |
would be thankful. He adds nothing to my
happiness, and think that moro intimate
association with MIN would improve me
neither in temper, nor in information, nor
in any other way.
After this little depression, Mr.. Morgan
resumed and finished the reading of his
speech.
Mr.. Chandler called attention to the skate
Industry carried on at Concord, N H., but
which he said, could not be continued under
the present rate Of duty Is per cent. ad
Val0rem.
UNDERSOLD BY GERMANS.
The manufacturers, he said, want the
uuty on skates increased because the Ger
nan skate manufacturers undersell them
II Ine existing rate of duty be continued
Ile SKATE industry will disappear in New
hampshire and in this country. In the
course OF his speech Mr.. Chandler, criticiz-
tue tne opposition Of the Democratic party
70 pFotectlonlst ideas, said that the Con
Ielerate brigadiersn were now trying to
carry out the principle which they had in
eop0Tated into the Confederate constitu-
u9h' and meant the destruction Of all
northern Industries that were protected by
tl9 tariff system. They had nothing left
u aick, kill and destroy but the protective
.aiiu; mat was the business in which they
qH-u Tue PRESIDENT had been engaged for tho
iiHst year, and notwithstanding their bad
.ucA Iley still continued to make faces and
to kick.
