THE BLOCKS OF FIVE FRAUD.
Voorhees, offered preamble and reso.
luton reciting newspaper reports that
Chambers, the United States District
Attorney at indianapolis, had interfered
in his official capacity to prevent the ar
rest of w. W. Dudley on the charge of
feloniously violating the election laws Of
Indiana at the last Presidential election,
and directing the Attorney. General to
report what instructions the Department
of Justice had issued to Chambers on
the subject, and to furnish copies of the
correspondence. He asked that the
resolution 60 over until tomorrow, when
he would submit remarks upon it.
Edmunds-That's right; am in favor
OF the substance of it.
The resolution went over.
NEGRO EMIGRATION.
Morgan proceeded to address the Sc
ate on the subject of bill heretofore in
troduced by Butler to provide for the
emigration OF persons OF color from the
Southern States. He had reached the
conclusion that there WAS natural in
congruity and an irrepressible conflict
between the races; and that the return
OF the negro race to Africa was the only
solution OF the race problem. 1t was
undenlable that the aversion between
the races had greatly increased since
slavery was abolished, and it would in.
crease so long as a large portion of the
population was of the African race. Ex.
perience would not permit the statement
that such aversion OF feeling existed only
in the South. 1t WIS not so intense in
the South as it was in the North; it was
not so strong between the negro and his
former master as it was between the
negro and those who never owned
slaves. The separation of the races was
the only thing which would extinguish
race aversion. In Africa the negro
could grow up to the full measure of his
destiny.
Slavery. Morgan said, would be abol-
ished in central Africa. If the work was
left to the whites it would be slow pro-
cess, but the American negro would
accomplish it if he dwelt among those
people.
In summing up his speech, Morgan
pointed to the fact that the negroes had
no chance to rise in this country. Politi-
cal influence would never lift the negro
race in this country above it's present
level. On the contrary, the friction and
collision caused by the negro's use of the
ballot would create more and more envy
against the negro race. He (Morgan)
looked forward to the establishment of
free republican government in the Congo
region by the influence of America, or
American negroes, who would thus be
the redeemers and regenerators of their
fatherland.
WIDOWS CLAIM.
A message from the President in rela-
ton to the claim of the widow of John
Paul, German subject, arising out of
his death at Wilmington, N. c., and rec
ommending an appropriation of $1,000,
was presented to the Senate, and re-
ferred.
After executive session, the Senate
adjourned.
