WILL STAND BY THE NEGRO.
The other day, when he concluded his
speech, he went down the steps of the capi-
tol, and an old colored man whose head was
bowed with years, whose hair was gray
and grizEled, with tears In his eyes, and
with quivering lips had taken his hand and
blessed him because ne had spoken in be
half of the people of his race. Others
might seek the plaudits of the powerful
and great; but as for him
he would be content to stand by the side Of
the plain people whom Abraham Lincoln
had loved. Others might seek for the &C.
claim Of the high-born, the titled and the
rich, but as for him, be would be content
with the tears and gratitude and blessings
Oh the poor, the lowly and the oppressed.

HENDERSON CRITICIsES THE SENATE.
In the course of a vigorous attack Mr..
Henderson Incidentally criticised the Senate
for putting the amendment on the bill He
also announced his adherence to the doc-
trine that senators should be elected
by vote of the people. He said
this with great respect to the Sen
ate. but God knew he meant it..
While he stood here charged with the
responsibility of this appropriation bill he
would not see this amendment agreed to,
satisfied as be was that it was unjust. The
House had refused to pass the per diem bill
on the ground that the government could
not afford it. Could the gentlemen go back
to their constituents and say that, while
they could not afford to pass that bill, they
could afford to pay French spoliation
claims? The congress, or administration
that shouldered this claim would, in his
opinion, justly go into oblivion.
MIR. Dinble moved concurrence in the
amendment. The motion was lost by a
vote of 10 to 80. The committee then rose,
and the French spolation claims amend
ment was nonconcurred in-yeas Ill, nays
81. A conference was ordered and Messrs.
Henderson of Iowa, Cannon and Breckin-
ridge were appointed conferees.
