An Affecting Scene.

From the Springfield Republi-
cans report we take the following
touching reference to Senator
Tillman's part in the recent me-
mortal exercises held by the Sen
ate in honor of several of its late
members:
So affected by the emotions and
weakened by the illness with which
he was stricken in the last session
of Congress as to be unable to con-
tinue, Senator Tillman of South
Carolina, sank sobbing into his
seat Sunday, soon after having be-
gun speech in eulogy of the late
Senator Alexander 5. Clay of
Georgia and Jonathan p. Dolliyer
of Iowa. Senator Bacon of Georg
ia moved hastily over and took a
seat by the South Carolinan. A few
words by Mr.. Bacon in a measure
restored control of his nerves to
III n Tilfnan, and soon after he
feebly walked from the chamber.
The scene was an affecting one,
embers on the floor and specta-
tors in the gallery being visibly
moved.
Indeed an affecting scene! Till
man in tears. The Pitchfork bent
and feeble! The arch-angle be
with us. We wonder not that
those who saw the sight were mov-
ed, nor did surprise strike us short
if they had been moved to tears
which well might have mingled
with the precious drops that
streamed down the furrowed face
of the strickened Nullitier. Tears!
Upon these, that coursed the
cheaks of helpless and harmless
people, this stricken sweetheart OF
infamy sailed to fame and Torture
These-tears-were the high seas
of which he was captain and pilot.
Does Tillman sob for his friends,
gone whittier he must soon take
his journey, or does Remorse exact
her tribute? A life spent in viii
famous assault upon those that
bore him no illwill, and in blaspem
eous TRADE against the Brotherhood
of man ends in sobs. Let us strike
Pity's bosom and implore the
charity of the saints. And yet let
Benjamin weep: an ocean OF tears
from his softened heart can never
wash away the crimes against the
South Carolina blacks the heart
lessness of which carried him to
earthly crowns and robes of state.

prophet the Lord spake: Ven

knows this is fixed by the general

well as among Confederate veterans
owing to the introduction of history
of the United States which carries par

Negro women in slavery days by their
masters. The history is also SAID 10

The chief objection to the work is
an extract from page 55, which reads
in part
.rThe most revolving feature of slav-
erv in America, one that the historian
blushes to record (but history must
deal with facts), is that too often the
attractive slave woman was prosti-
tute TO her master; that their children
bore the stamp of her countenance,
and vet, according to the infleXlple
rule of the slave states, they shared
the condition of the mother and were
sold by their own father; this evil was
widespread at the south, as the mixed
condition of the black race today Will
testify.
