WAHIIIKOTOK , January U ! ) . Mr. Voat
( doin. ftlo. ) frotn tlio comtnittoo on pub
Uo lands , reported favorably a bill ro
ponliug the tinibor culture liiws.
Sir. Camorou , ( rop. Wia. ) introduced n
bill to OBtablish tbo territory of North
Dakota.
Mr. Platt ( rop. Conn. ) offered n reso
lution tor which ho asked iuimcdiato con-
eideration , directing the committee on
postoQJcoa and post rondo to inquire
whether telegraphic changoa hnv been
injuriously nfFoctcd by the large Block
dividnnds of tha Western Union compa
ny , or on consolidations or contracts
with competing or other companies and
whether through the gold and slock tel
egraph company , otherwise the Western
Union company , there haa been'prescrib-
td rules or rcgulati < nB for the transmis-
aion of press nowa , Tne resolution au
thorizes the committee to nend for the
persons andpaporp.
Objection was made by Mr. Sherman ,
( rep. O. ) and the resolution wonl
over until to-morrow. Mr. Sherman's res
olutiou on the Virginia and Mississippi
elections wcro then taken up.
Mr. Sherman said that mnco the begin
ning of the session ho had fall thatrcceul
oventa in Virginia and Mississippi worool
such importance as to demand n full and
impartial investigation of the causes
which * led to them. The real facts in
volved a proper constitutional remedy to
prevent a recurrence , and , if necessary ,
to further secure all American citizens
freedom of speech in the open assertior
of their political opinions , and the peace
ful exercise of the right to votl. Now
that sufiieient time had elapsed to allay
to Botno'oxtent the excitement caused by
thescn events , ho hoped the senate
would make this investigation , BO
thafc our citizens of every state
might more fully understand jus
how far the niittjnnl government woulc
protect them in the enjoyment of their
rights , or if it was helpless or listless
that no longer relying upon barren
declarations of the constitution , eacl
man for himself might appeal to the
right of self-defence or to the boastec
American right of migration to more
friendly regions. The allegations in this
resolution aa to the Danville riot or mas
/ .icro were , ho said , founded upon state
inents in the public prints supported by
other witnesses and their Bubatautia
truth was also verified by the publibhoc
statements of a member of this body ,
the senator from the state of Virginia.
The allegations as to Mississippi were
founded upon captious narrations in the
public printa , the proceedings of public
meetings and the acts and failure to ao
of ofliuors of the state government , in
eluding governor , judgoa of courts , and
juries. If these ntatcmonte art ) true
then in both these etatua there hus been
organized conspiracies to subvert tb
fruedom of elections , accompanied bv
murder and violence in many forms
The crimes reported are not ordinary
crimps but those of the prevailing ma
jorily to subvert byiolouco the highes
constitutional privolegea of citizens anc
cannot from their nature bo inquired of
or punished by _ the ordinary tribunal
lie hud no desire to open up soctiona
questions or renew old strife ; still , i
these allegations are true , it would bo
cowardly and a shrinking from the
gravest public dnty to allow such oventi
to deepen into precedents which woulc
subvert the foundation of republican ! ! -
atutions and convert our
elections into organized crimes
* If the crimes nlleged by these resolu
tionn wore the result of a chance out
break or riot between opposing partioi
or different races of men , they mighi
properly lx > loft to bo dealt with by loca
authorities , but if they were the part of
the machineiy devised by ono party to
tfeter another party or race from the
freedom of elections , or the free , open
expression of politicalopinions , then they
constitute a crime against the nationa
government , and the highest duty of the
government was to maintain at every
hazard equal rights nnd privileges ol
citiions. It waa noteuOiciont to say that
the elections referred to were not nation
al elections. Iho govornmentpresoriboc
the duties of states in respc > tlo liberty
property and the elective franchise , anc
citiityns of any state wcro citizens of the
UuiM States.
This point and the right of congress to
provide any additional safeguards fo
these rights wort dwelt upon. Ho then
took up the matter of race antagonist
arising out of emancipations , and sau
be could pardon the prejudices of race
caste , ano even local ties , and the Amor
Jean peoole , ho thought , had waited with
great forbearance for the time when con
stitutional rights would ho ropectot
without regard to roco or color , creed o
party.
If the time had como when members
of the republican party , through whose
agency largely the existence of tha gov
eminent had boon maintained , could no
enjoy constitutional rights. If men won
murdered at the billet box without foa
on the pirt of the murderer * of punish
ment , if they were driven from thei
homos by outrage and terror nnd tlia
black and whits alike were aubjocted to
ostracism and injustice and as a part ;
.disfranchised , then indeed was patien
Inquiry donmndod nd a full , open
manly a erlion that the rights and equal
itica of all should be maintaine (
And enforced at every hnzrd
Jt the Capiih county resolution *
were the creed of the domocrntio
party of the south , then indeed waa the
\rat a f niliiro. Ho waa assured by gentle
men too , that tboy were the creed o
Wne-tonUia of tUu party in power in
iisaissippi. Ho would conduct the in-
ostip.Uion charitably and with all rp.
; nrd for the imturnl prejudices of moil in
heir situation , and would give them
ivory right guaranteed other American
itizcita , and in return would demand
qual freedom forall other citizens of
whatever color or party , and if the state
xnild or would not guarantee thin , then
ho nation should.
Mr.'Mahono ( ind. , Va. ) followed Mr.
Sherman. His sneccch was similar m
character to the address ho recently is
sued to the public concerning Virginia's
situation. Ho said this was the first
nno in the glorious history of Virginia
hat political ends were achieved by such
catering methods na gave riao to the
J.invillo massacre. Ho hid no four that
an investigation would bring a stnin upon
ho escutcheon of the majority in that
state , but that upon the violent faction
rould be founu the responsibility and
.ho blood of her murdered citizens.
Upon the conclusion of Mr. Mahono's
omarliB calls of "vote" wcro hoard , mid
.ho chair announced the question to bo
on agreeing to the resolution. A demand
'or the yeas and nays was made without
remark from any democratic senator , the
matter was brought to a vote and the
resolution passed by 33 yca to 29 naya.
Mr. Liopan ( rep. 111. ) had called up
ind paisud a joint resolution approp'rat-
ng $11,000 tor the improvement ot the

resolution , which was agreed to , in
structing the committee on postoQlcca
and postroads to inquire as to the ox-
pudionoy of admitting newspapers , peri
odicals and other printed reading matter
to the mails free of postage.
The senate resolved to attend the
funeral of Representative Mackey to
morrow afternoon.
The resolution appropriating $50,000
for the maintenance of destitute Indiana
was increased to § 100,000 and passed.
The house bills making appropriations
of $375,000 for the rebate on the tob.-vcco
tax , and § 21K15 ! for expenses of the
legislature of Now Mexico , passed.
The bill providing a mpthodforsottling
incomplete titles to Mexican land grants
on lands derived from Mexico by thn
United States in Now Mexico , Wyoming ,
Arizona and Utah , was discussed al
length , but without action the senate
went into executive nession and soon
after adjourned.

him corruptly while speaker of the house

asking Kcifer to cause an invcstigatiot
into the charges against him ( Boynton
and threatening that unless Keifor caus
oo steps to bo taken to that end by to
day he ( Boynton ) would make bis lottci
public. Koifor's reply is long and filled
with more bitter denunciations of Boyn
ton and his co-laborer , W. B. Shuw.both
of whom ho says lost no opportunity to
dofaino him in their dispatcher )
He calls Boynton a liar , defamer
and lobbyist , and refuting to mnvo for

WAHHINOTOK , January 20.
ion. \Varrou Koifor , House of Koprosont-
ntlvui :
Dear Sir About a week ago you saw
it to declare before the house committee
on acoounta , where your official action , is
undergoing investigation , that a "clique
of correspondents" had misrepresented
. on before the public because you had
lefoatad a claim they had attempted to
obby through congress , and called on by
several correspondents and asked
or the manner and specifications you
wore pleased to nao my name in this con
nection snd claimed that you had letters
rom mo which would bo produced in the
roper time to make good your charge.
Thereupon I publicly denounced your
Gtatemont so far as it related 10 mo as
lishonorabld and falsivnud challenge you
to make good your charges before the
comtnittoo of invo.atigation.
In the multiplicity of your public du-
, ics and the nddod tax upon your time ,
your attention has not boon attract-
sd to this published card. I there
"oro take the liberty of inolos-
ng it to you with the remark
bat I cannot' ' cnncoivo it possible for an
lonorablo nan to have made such
charges as you have thua circulated nnd
lave maintained since , when asked for
proofs on which they were based.
In renewing my proposition to test
, -our charges before an open committee
itnpowred to send for poisons and papers
and to administer oaths , I desire to give
you the widest possible field for your in
quiries by now assorting that I have
never had neither a direct or contingent
interest in aiiy claim
jr other legislation pending be-
'oro either /houso / of congress
luring my servifa as a correspondent in
Washington , s *
Hiuco I am amenable to the rules of
the house , and hold a seat in the press
allery subject to its will , proof of your
: harge or any similar charge would HU-
cure my expulsion from the gallery and
effect ny disgrace. But , on the other
band , if you decline to assume
your own words , it ought not to
overtask your power of perception to see
your pditical associates will have abun
dant raisoii to bo mortified on account of
their hto complimentary votes for you ,
and thtt the country will have the right
to conclude that you are without manli
ness o ; sentiments of honor , and inpvo
on so low and base a piano of political
morah that you regard falao
charges against honorable meu
us proper weapons to wield
when vou ore yourself arraigned before a
committee members , on charges of most
questionable conduct and find they are
Hkuly to bo proved against you.
Unless you withdraw these charges or
take action boboro the close of Monday's
session , looking to submitting th'Jin to an
investigation , 1 shall consider myself at
liberty to make this letter public us evidence -
donco to sustain your charges
Koepoctfully Yours ,

Hon. J. Warroii Koifor Sir : Your
charges I havu tvriuo publicly declared

the face of your repetitions of them and
your additions of pretended details I
still dociaro your whole charge so far as
it reflects on mo , to bo unqualifiedly
falke , and assort further that 1 never
hold any conversation whatever with you
concerning thn provisions of the McGar

ported favorably by a committee of you

think the good stocks are selling as low

Perhaps that seems a high price for ,

is , and how your whole system is
prostrateddebilitatcdnnd enfeebled.
People have been heard to say , under
such circumstances , that they would
not give the toss of a copper for the 1
choice betwccn life and death. But
when it comes to actually drawing
near the grave , a man naturally draws
back , and says he docs not wafat to
die. Life is very precious , and even .
to a broken-down man it is worth i
saving. > i
One dollar will buy a bottle ot

lar may start you on the road from
misery to recovery. A man must ,
take a very mean view of himself who

making one serious effort to resale ,
