WASHINGTON, April 2l.-lSpeciall-
The New York delegation of corored
men sent to Washingoop to memorislize
the President in regard to the outrayes
perpetraaed upon the negroes of the
South arrived here this, morning at q
o'clock and were entertained at break
fast by Hon. Frederick Douglas and
William Z. Matthews. The delegation
was introdeced to President HARRISON az
10 O'Clock By the Hon. John, r. LYNCH.
fourth auditor of the Treasury. DR.
William b. Derrick, of New Fork citv-
stated the purpose of the delegation To-
tho President and presented resolutions,
which were adopted at regent mass
meeting at Cooper Union.
In his reply President Harrison OK
planned just how far he could exercise
his authority under the constitution.
stating very clearly the difference be-.
tween State and Federal au hority in re-
gard to crimes committed in any partic-
nlr State. The Now Orleans lynchinp
matter was taken as an example. The
Federal Government, no said, clearly
had the right to provide for tho protec-
ton OF Italian subjects as that was q
matter OF treaty rights, but it has not
oo'h uoHe. no legislation has been
enacted and neither the Federal courts
nor the President could interfere oven
in that case.
Mr: Harrison advised the delegation
to collect in detail facts concerning the
lynohing in tho South for year and
present them to him and the public
press and said upon these facts he would
assist as far as possible, in creating
public sentiment against the lawless
method of punishment of colored men
OF the South. While willing to do
everything in behalf of all of the eiti-
zens OF the country no explained clearly
now any attempted interference with
State authorities by him would do more
harm than good. Tho delegation was
very much pleased with the Presidents
speech and attitude.

New ORLEANS, April 2I-Returns of

its plurality in the country parishes.

The McEnery campaign manage RS
will probably make Il protest in the
Legislature against the returns, if tho
secretary of state, who Is II McEncryite,
will stand by them. He complies tho
returns for the legislature, and with
the clerk, who is nl.o McEneiy
man, has the power of placing on tho
roll only those members supposed TO
have been elected without fraud, but
whether no will have the backbone to
do so emains to be seen.
The composition of the legislature is
still in doubt, but he chances are that
tho Foster faction of the Democratic
party will be in control. Tho PEOPLES.
or Third party, will elect several repre-
sentatives, as will the Republicans.
In the outlying parishes the Foster

places were cracked and clocks stopped.
at Winters and Vacaville, while the
shock seemed less severe than those of
the 1rst day, greater wreck was caused
by many buildings which stood the
previous shaking but were rond cred in

were several strong stole buildings.
At Winters several people were hurt
by falling walls. To.day's disturbance
reached points not previously affected
ana there are signs of a panic.

"1thas to do with shaking hands, but the
ordinary tedium of the infliction is not

nately, a great many individuals in the
world who think it is a. clever trick to
give painful grip TO- anyone who may
have the misfortune to grasp hands with
them. Almost invariably they pretend
that the thing is quite unconsciousiy
done, but in fact they take pleasure
OF a mlschicvous nature in the act.
They have various ways Of perpetrating

accosted to regret the circumstance.
"Chester A. Arthur told me once that
he was obliged to be constantly on his
guard against people who did that sort
OF thing. On a nutnbcr OF occasions. he
was caused annoyance and even pain,
/ by individuals who gripped his hand in
shaking it with the evident intention to
hurt him. We're president / would
see that anyone who perpetrated such
an oHcnse was promptly arrested. 1t
could be'easily done by having an off,
Ger conveniently near. Obviously such
action need only be taken in an extreme
case, but surely the chief executive
should have some. means of defense
against assault in this form. President
Grant, 1 have been.told, complainedi of
similar annoyances, and have no
doubt that every president of the United
States has suffered likewise. l. will
venture to say that Gen. Washington
would have promptly knocked down
any man who attempted such q, thing
with him. s
Il once had an, opportunity to ihflict
a well-deserved punishment upon man
who was addicted to committing the Of

on me three or four times, and learned
that ouch was hin. habit, inasmueh as he

nal claims that, if the GRAPHIC
had gone to the records in the
office of the Secretary of the
Board, an error would have been
discovered in the item taken from
the Trenton Tribune. For the
information of the editor of the
Journal, the GRAPHIC VIII state
that the item iu question was
given to the Secretary OF the
Board with the request that he
explain it. His only explanation
was thst the contract WAS not let
by the page. If the Trenton
Tribune was In error, would not
that have been an excellent time
to produce the records ald prove
lit? The records were not pro-
duced, and the GRAPHIC has nc
apology to make for publishing
the item or commenting thereon.
The collision between the
Pinkerton men and CarnePle's g
striking workmen at Homestead,
Pa, in which twenty-eigh men
lost their lives, is an occurrence to
be deeply deplored. The trouble
arose on account of a proposed
reduction in the wages of 5000
men. This proposed reduction
led to strike, and the Carnegie
company, believing that its prop
erty was IL danger, attempted to
place q guard in the works. This
was resented by the strikers, wLo
believed that il the works were
placed under guard outsiders
would be permitted to work, and
this they sought to prevent. The
attempt to place men inside the
stockade led to the fight which
has caused such loss of life, 1t
may be that Carnegie is oppres-
sive, but the men who are op-
pressed have the right and the
privilege to cease their labors for
him. Labor has the right to or
ganize, but organized labor has
no right to declare that unor-
ganized labor must remain idle.
Whenever it does this, the op-
pressed becomes the oppressor,
and public sympathy is lost. It
becomes a case of might against
right. When organized labor
recognizes the fact that it has
not absorbed all the rights and
privileges Of mankind, difficulties
like the present one will be
adjusted without destruction of
property or loss of life.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regu Correspo ndeut
WASHINGTON. July 4. '92

| w ASGlhGION, July 4, Jl
The President goes on IN the
even tenor of his way, just as if the
passage Of the Stewart free coin
age bill by the Senate had not
thrown Congress into what might
almost be called a panic. If he
is worried even a little bit over
the situation he does not show it.
The situation in the house at
present is chaotic. owing to the
absence of SO many members and
the uncertainty Of getting them
here. The telegraph wires have
been kept hot since Saturday by
both friends and opponents of free
coinage, and good many men,
bers have probably had their
Fourth of July plans sadly disar-
ranged by sn imperative sum-
mons to come to Washington at
once.
The free coinage bill will be
taken from the Speakers table
tomorrow and be referred to the
committee on coinage, which will
hold a meeting on Wednesday,
and will, it is expected, imme-
diately report the bill favorably.
Then the music will begin, and
if the republican members are all
in their seats it is believed that
they can easily become masters
of the situation and dictate the
action of the House. Both silver
and snti-silver men are threaten
ing to win. Mr.. Cleveland has
been appealed to by the anti-silver
dmocrats to bring his influence to
their aid, but it is doubtful
whether he will dare to do it.
The situation is such that the
President may have to abandon
the idea of accompanying Mrs.
Harrison to the Adirondacks the
last of this week, rs he had In
tended doing. Only one of the
regular appropriation bills has
been sent to the White House
yet, and if the silver fight begins
before the others are disposed
of no one can say when the rest
of them will get there. Congress
is not in session today, anG the
breathing spell is very welcome
one to the contestants; it gives
them a chance to maneuver for
position.
So many contradictory stories
have been told about the attitude
of ex-Chairman Clarkson, of the
republican national committee, to-
wards the organization of tha,
committee. that it is a pleasure
to give his real position in his
own words. 81 esme to Wash
ington," he says, fully determined
not to accept the chairmsnshir
of the committee, and | 80 informed
the fortymembers of the commit.
tee who voluntarily rendered me
their support. Mr.. Campbell, the
new chairman, has been my per.
sonal friend and colleague on the
national committee for years, anc
knowing him TO ss q master il
political details and thoroughly
competent to make a successful
chairman, l joined with Other
