WASHINGTON, Jan 7.-Senator Morgan
proceeded to address the senate on the
subject of the bill heretofore introduced
by Senator Butler, 10 provide for the emf
grafton of persons of color from the south
crn states. He had reached the conclusion
that there was a natural ~incongruity and
an irreprehensible conflict between the
races. The return of the negro race TO
Africa is the only solution of the problem.
IL was undeniable that the aversion be-
tween the two races had greatly increased
since slavery was abolished and il would
increase SO long as a large portion OF our
population was of the African race. Ex-
perience would not permit the statement
that such IA feeling of aversion existed only
In the south; IL was not so intense in the
south as il wa, in the north. 1t was
not so strong between the negro and
his former master as il was be
tween the negro and those who never
owned slaves. The separation of the races
was the only thing that could extinguish
the race diversions. In Africa the negro
could grow up TO the full measure of his
destiny. Slavery Senator Morgan said,
would be abolished in central Africa. II
the work was lefT TO the whites it would
be a slow process, but the American negro
would accomplish it il he dwelt among
those people. In summing up his speech
Senator Morgan pointed 10 the fnct that
the negroes had no chance to rise In thi.
country. Political influence would never
lift the negro race in this country abov:
its present level. On the coatray, the
friction and collision caused by the negro
use of the ballot would create more and
envy against the negro race. He (Senatoi
Morgan) looked forward to the establish
ment of a free republican government in
America or the American negroes, whs
would thus be redeemers and regenern
tors Of their fatherland.
A message from the president In relation
to the claim of the widow Of John Paul, q
German subject, arising out of his death a
Wilmington, n. c., and recommending al
appropriation of 5000, was presented to
the senate and referred.
