THERE IS good deal OF newspaper talk
now about neI movement inaugurated by
the negro ex-MiEster to Liberia, Taylor, to
make democrats OF negroes. AS we'll talk
of making white men negroes. The negroes
were born in the belief that the republi-
can party is their friend. and their guide
and support. That belief is IS firmly fixed
In their minds 81 the no less silly one that
they are subject to spells" put upon them
by members of their own race. and it cannot
be eradioated. The only negroes who vote
the democratic ticket are those who d. so
for onsidei atior."

Pennsylvania REPUBECANs.-TheP Penn

Senator Louis A. Wstres for Lieutenant

tsry of internal affairs.
Gen. Daniel J. Hastings, the defeated car
didate for Governor, was elected chairman

From the expressions of republicans
throughout the State 1t is apparent that
great dissatisfaction exists in the party
over the nomination OF Senator Del

THE ONLY congressional action that can
possibly help the farmers of the country
would be the removal of all res rlctions up IN
commerce, by which the market Tor their
products would be extended and they De
enabled to SSH in the dearest and buy IN
the cheapest market. But, instead OF this
tariff bills are framed that limit their mar
ket to this country and double the price OF
almost every thing they have to buy silver
bills are proposed that will lessen the pun
chasing value of the little money they get
for their crops, and bills are passed that IN
crease their taxes In order to establish agri-
cultural colleges which their childrea Will
be unable to attend. But the republican
party now has control OF all branches OF the
government, and what 1t does the repuhli-
Can President, the republican Senate. the re-
publican House, and the republican U. {.
Supreme Court unite in saying is eminently
right and proper.

A NEW HYDRoPHoBIA CURE.-The doc
tors of Seville are proclaiming the discovery
of most elicacious remedy for hydrophe-
bia. In French account Of it, which ]
have before me, it is spoken of ss "pita,
which is not French for anything
th at am aware of, but is, fancy, the sci
entifc name for lax or hemp. The diecov-
cry is thought 30 much of in Saville that
memorandum on the subject, drawn up By
the local doctors, has been transmitted by
the civil government of the town to the
sanitary authorities. l. describes the case
of child suffering from oil the worst symr-
toms of hydrophobia, who had taken no
nourishment of any kind for 70 hours and
was all but given up when the "pita" was
tried by way of experiment. The account
says that the patient seized the stufi and ate
1t with voracity. He at once showed bene
6t from 1t, aud continued to MUNICH 1t for
several days, other medicines being stopped.
II was first administered on the evening Of
the 18Th, and on the night of the 2lst the
patient slept and took food. Ga the 24,h be
was pronounced convelescent, and by the
&c b all the functions were reported perfect.
He has been gradually taking less and
lees "pta" and the bulletin of the och states
that he has horror Of it," / am quoting
not from q rnmapce, bnt an official docu

THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 26.

THE STRONG probability is that the pre-
posed partisan and sectional federal eiec''o,i
law. by which State elections In the eou.n
will be put under the control OF federal OIL
GERS to be appointed by men who receive
their commissions from Washington, Will De
passed by the republican majority IN the u
s. House of Representatives In short order,
under the gag law and autocratic rule Gu
forced In that body by Mr.. Speaker keed
But whether 1t can pass the Senate Is by 20
mans "a certain. In order that 1t may DC
40 at this session, it will be necessary that II
be taken up in that body as soon as 1t shal'
come from the House, and that all othef
business. the tariff bill, the silver bill, and
others almost IS important, be laid hside
until vote on 1t shall be reached. NO"
whether there be enough republican Sena
tors to force the passage OF bill that must
necessarily destroy the psacs and prosper
to of the South-the section upon which the
whole country depends for the most valoa
bile part of its export trade-though its pa
sage will delay indefinitely and probably
defeat other bills relating to the most i'm
portant business of all the people OF al
parts of the country, remains to be seen
But the partisan action OF the republican
Senators in the Montana aud other cases /
by no means conducive to the hope tha
they will be more conservative in respect
the one referred to.

In THE earlier aod better days OF the re-
public, when brains and integrity. aud not

lions OF U. s. Senators, such persons were

rary popularity among the ignorant. But
that 1t is different now is patent to all we'll

Proceedings of Congress.
WASHINGTON, d. o., June 26.
SENATE.

A resolution offered yesterday by Mr..
Call directing the Secretary Of the Senate to
prepare table showing the number of bills
introduced by each Senator and the number
of them passed, was taken up and Mr.. Ed
muuds moved to lay the resolution on the
table. remarking Ironically that as the
teat of Senator's value was the number OF
bills introduced by him, and as be found
that under that test he Mr.. Edmunds) was
not of much vaiue, he wished to have the
resolution laid on the table.
After an explanation by MIR. Call OF his
motive In Offering the resolution the motion
to lay on the table was agreed to.
The House bill for the admission of Wyom-
ing as State was taken up and MIR. Jones
of Arkansas, addressed the Senate In oppo-
sition to It. The participation of women In
the vote on the constitution of the proposed
State was one of the reasons for his opposi-
ton.
HOUSE,.
The House bill was passed granting 10
days leave to clerks in 1st and % class post
Offices.
The regular order being demanded Mr..
Lodge, of Massachusetts, began the debate
upon the national election bill. He said :
The bill proposed to extend existing laws
regarding the election of members go that
they would be effective throughout the
United States whenever the people wanted
them so extended. If the belief that sucn q
thing as fair election in the South was un.
known, then it was high time the United
Ststes should put stop to the evil, If it had
to exercise every power the constitution
put into its bands. 1t was not necessary to
argue that southern elections were not a.
ways fair and free. Where wrong doing oc-
Cured in the North 1t was where one party
sought to get ahead Of the other by vulgar
means. AS to the South II was largely a
question of race. The negro problem was
one of the gravest before the American peo.
pe The wrong OF slavery was 10 be e1pia'
ed by the North, which condemned it, as
we'll as by the South. which upheld 1t. The
negro was not forced upon US like the Chi
nsse 1t was idle to say that be was better
off than II no had not been brought to civil
ization. Better an eternity of ssvsge liber-
ty than civilization which came to them
with the auctioneer's hammer In one hand
and the slave drivers whip In the other.
The government which made the black
man o citizen WAS cowardly government
If it did not protect him In his rights. The
national government must extend TO every
citizen the equal rights which the oonstitn.
ton granted.
Mr.. Hcmphill. Of South Carolina, followed,
beginning with an argument to demonstrate
the unconstitutional nature OF the bill-that
Congress had no power to interfere with
election. He declared that this was not a
national bill it was sectional. Under the
provisions of the first section some portions
Of the United States would he under the gu
pervison OF supervisors. If 1t WAS good
thing the law should be OF universal appli-
cation
