Sped&l Dispatches to Tin Bit.
WASHINGTON , April 20. Mr.
Divres , upon the opening of the sen
ate , corrected the statement made by
him eoveral diys ago concerning out-
r ges on a Massachusetts man in Mis
sissippi. He had iha clerk read a
published statement of Mr. Heath ,
the victim of the-outragp , which- cor
roborated his statement , except to the
locality , which was in Louisiana , and
Mr. Dawes attributed it to Mississippi
through misinformation.
Mr. Jonas replied in defense of the
people of Caldwell parish , where the
outrage was eald to have taken pi ice.
He eaid there wcs nothing to show
that the crime alluded to had any po-
lilic&l significance , or differed miteri-
ally from what might have occurred in
any other state. Mr. Jonas hcd the
clerk read a published account of a
recent burglary and murder at Andover -
ver , Mas ; . , and remarked that Louisi
ana never had the name of murder beIng -
Ing committed to obtain means to get
a theological education. Ho would
have more to say on the subject when
he could get further informotion in
regird to alleged outrages in tlio state.
Mr. Frye , cf M ine , made a speech
charging the democrats with a knowl
edge of being in 'he wrong and acting
contrary to the constitution , and ad
mitted they displayed , remarkable
bravery in their position. The sen
ator from Georgia was particularly
brave in attacking the great Golitth
of Massachusetts , eincL , unlike the
David of Holy Writ , he knew the
Lord was not on his side. He pre
sented statistics to show the fallacy cf
the southern cry against the .educa
tional qualifications of the northern
suffrage laws , when the north apj ro-
prlited sixteen dollars for every dollar
in the south. IIo also wondered at
the bravery of the senator from Flor
Ida talking about the poor and starv
ing mill operatives of Massachusetts ,
when the operatives o.f that state
htd money enough in the styings
banks to buy up Florida's real and
personal property nnd have fitly mil
lion dollars left. B jt the bravest one
of all was the sena or from North
Carolina , when lie dared to say that
his state never repudiated any of its
debt. He then entered upon a com
parison ef the freedom of the ballot
nocth and south , EC cctlng what he
called a few specimen bricks from the
court records to show okction outrages
in Florida and other fitattsand , statis
tics of dufrcnchiaemen1- .
A he cited incidents in F ; or id a ,
South Carolina and Texas , the ro-
spec live senators of those states
jumped up and and asked for the evi
dence.
Mr. Fryo referred them one and
all to the judicial reports which ho had
consulted.
The debate continued , during which
a lively tilt occurred bnween Burn-
side and Butler. At 4:50 : p m. tha
senate adjourned.

Struck by Lightning
During the tevere thunder storm
of Tuesday a small cottage west of
he city and near Farnham street was
struck by lightning. Thecottage con
sisted of an upright part in which the
amily were sleeping , and a small wing
n tha rear , used as a kitchen. With
a singular freak the bolt de-
cended to the least exposed
portion of the house , shattering the
chimney to pieces , tearing off siding in
many places , setting the house on fire ,
and tearing up a great hole in the
earth. The family in the upright
mrt wore more or less affected by the
electricity , but were all able to rush
out and with a few pails of water ex-
inguish the Same. Had the bolt
descended on the upright portion the
osult might have been more serious.
