VOI ;V Vll. IE mmm SHIRT, sexatoj: BWBRMAJT FLAUNTS it with VIGOR. He Tries to Secure the Passage of Hie Res olution Relative to the Danville and IJo piali KJots—Ho Plead for Kqnal Rights to Everybody. Enforced by the Strong Arm of the Government. The Senate. ' Washington,!^.2B.Senator Vest, from the committee en public lauds, reported favorably the bill repealing the timber culture laws. It was ordered to be placed on the calendar. Senator Cameron, Wisconsin, introduced a bill to establish the territory of north Dakota. Senator Platt of offered a resolution for •which he asked immediate considera tion, dirictiDg the oommittee on post of fices aD ! post roads, to inquire whether the Lei - -aphic charges have boen injari oasly <\i- -led by large stock dividends of the Waste, i Union Telegraph company, or the consolidations or contracts with competing or other companies, and whether through ' the Gould # stock or telegraph company, otherwise the* Western Union company bad prescribed rules or regulation* for the transmission of press news. The resolution authorizes to send for persons and papers. Objection was made by senator Sherman, and it • went over till to-morrow. Senator Sherman's isolation on the Virginia and Mississippi elections was takea up. f Senator Shsrman said at the beginning of tha preseii. passion he had felt that re cent events in the states of Virginia and Mississippi were of such importance as to demand a full and impartial investigation of the causes that led to them the real facts involved and the proper constitution al remedy to prevent their recurrence, and if necessary to farther secure all Amer ican citizen's freedom of speech in the open assertion of political opinions and the peaceful exercise of the right to vote. Now that suffi cient time had elapsed to allay to some extent the excitement caused by these events, he hoped the senate would make this investigation so that our citizens of every state mi^hl understand how far tha national government will protect them in the enjoyment of their rights, or if it was helpless or listless; that, no longer relying upon the barren declarations of the con stitution, each man for himself might appeal to the right of self defense or to boasted American right of migration to more friendly regions. Tbe allegations in this resolution as to the Danville riot or masaacre were, he said, founded upon statements in the public prints supported by oaths of witnesses, and their substantial truth also vorifie 1 by the published state ment of a member of this body, « senator of the state of Virginia. The allegations as to Mississippi were founded npon copious narratives in the public print?, the proceedings of public meetings, and the action, and failnre to act of officers of the state government inducting governors--, jadges of o*urts and juries. If thss9 staiumonta are true, then in both of those states there has been «r- ganized conspiracies to subvert the free dom of elections- accompanied by murder and violence in many forms. The crimes depicted are not ordinary crimes, bit those of the prevailing majority to eabvart by violence the highest constitutional privi* leges of citizens, and could not from their nature be inquired of or punished by or dinary tribunals. If they are true, then in those communities members of our party and our race have no rights which tho pre vailing majority are bound to respect. He had no desire to open up sectional questions or renew oldstreifs. Still, if thos allf-itions are true, it would be cowardly, a shrinking from the gravest public duty to allow such events to deepen into prece dents, which would subvert the foundation of Republican institutions and convert our eleotions into organized orimes. If the event at Danville were tbe result of a •chance outbreak, or not between opposing parties of a different race of men, they might properly be left to be dealt with by the local authorities, but if the riot and massacre were a part of the machinery devised by a party to deter an other party or race from the freedom of elections, or the free, open expression of political opinions, when they constituted a crime against the national government.and the highest duty of the government was to maintain at every hazard the canal rights and privileges of citizens. If the events in Bopiah county, Mississippi, were merely lawless invasion of individual rights. though they involved murder as well as ether crimes, they should be left to the local authority, and if jnstice could not bo administered by the courts and the citizen wa3 without a reme dy from lawless violence, then he must fail back upon his right of self defense, or failing in that mast seek a home where his rights will be respected or observed. But if these individual crimes involved the greater one of organized conspiracy of a party or race to deprive another party or race of citizens of the enjoy ment of unquestioned rights, accompanied ■ with overt acts with puysioal power sufficient to accom plish the purpose, then it becomes a national qoeetjon/whieh must be dealt with by theuatkm--i"£° <*'Irninent. The war emancipated and m to* citizens of 5,000, --000 people who had !»t,*n slaves. No court ever denied the power of the national gov ernment to protect citizens in the essen tial rights of freemen. No man should be allowed to hold a seat in either house of congress whose election was secured >by crimes such a- depicted here, nor was it sufficient to say the elections re ferred to were not national* election in the serse thai they did not involve the election of a president or a member of congress. While the power of congress over the election of senators, representatives and president ex tended to makiDg and altering laws and regulations passed by the respective states, and therefore was fuller than in respect to state elections, yet the constitution pro vided that the right of the people to be se cure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated, that'all per sons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to tha jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States that no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or or immunities of citizens of the United States, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law, and that the rights of citizens to vote shall sot be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on ac . count of race, color or previous condition of servitude. It also declares that congress shall have power to make all laws necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers and all other powers vested by this constitution in the government of the United States or in any department or offi cer thereof. Power is also given to congress to enforce all the recent arnendmenls by appropriate legislation. If the essential rights of citizenship were overthrown by a state or by the people of a state, with the sanction of the local authorities within the limits of the etate, then congress as the legislative power of the United States is bound to provide additional safegaards, and ' should exhaust all the powers of the national government to maintain these essential rights of citi zenship, within the courts of all states, in as full and complete a manner aa it would gu^rd and protect, unquestioned the rights of citizens of the United States within the domains of tha most powerful nations of the world. He could appreciate the changes that bad coounad in the southern states, and that natural antagonisms would ari?a by emancipated slaves mingling ia tha same community with their former masters. He ooald pardon the prejudices of race, oasto. and even local ti63, atidi.be Ameii:-an people, he thought, had waited v?ith forbearance for the time whta cocstitn tioral rights would be respected without regard to race, color, creed or party. If the time had come when members of the Rep;:olican party through whose agency largely the exist ence of the governmeni hid been main tained could not enjoy their constitutional rights, were murdered at the ballot box without fear on the part of their murder ers of puuishment, were driven from their homes by outrage and terror, and that black and white alike were subjected to os tracism and injustice, and bs a party dis franchised, then, indeed, was a patient inquiry demanded and a full," ;open manly assertion that rights aud equalities should be maintained and enforced at every hazard. If the Bopiah resolutions were the creed of the Democratic party south, then, indeed, was the war a failurej They seemed to him the very germ of despotism and barbarity. And yet he was assured by a gentleman friendly to them, that they were the creed of nine-tenths of the party in power in Mississippi. It was right that the ground work of opinions so utterly repugnant to republican institutions should be known." "In this inve3tigatien," he said, "I would seek every pallia tion or excuse for the conduct the people complained of, I would give to their motives and natural feelings, making in thsir situations the most charitable con struction; I would give to them all the political power they ever enjojed, and without unkiudneßs or pains or penalties, or evea reproaohes, I would extend to them every right, favor or facility enjoy ed by any citizen in any part of our country, but v/heu this concession is made, then I would demand that in the states under their control the freedom and equality of rights and privileges guaran teed by the constitution nnd laws to all citizens, white or black, native or natural ized, poor or rich, igncrant or learned, Repub lican or Democrat, 8!; all bo secured r>y the state government, or if not.that these rights and priv ileges shall be asserted and maintained by the • national government. Upon this issue I weuld appeal to every generous-minded man, to every lover of his country, to every one who wishes to enjoy his own rights by his own tireside, free from embarrassment, to s.and by those who, yielding to others the protection of laws in the enjoyment of equal rights, will dotnacd ihs same rights for themselves and theic asso ciates." Senator Mahone then addressed tha sen ate in favor of the resolution. On the conclusion of Senator Mahone's remarks calls for a vote were heard, and the chair announcing the question to be on agreeing to the resolution, a demand for the yeas and nays was made. Without remark from any Democratic senator, the matter was brought to a vote and the reso lution passed, 33 yeas, 29 nays. Senator Logan called up and had passed a joint resolution, appropriating $11,000 for the improvement of the pool above dam near Rock Island arsenal. Senator Voorhaes offered the following, which was agreed to. Jiesolved,Thn.t thecommitteeon po3toffioes and post roads be instructed to inquire into the propriety and expediency of ad mitting all newspapers, periodicals, and other printed reading matter to the mails free of postsge, the committee to report by bill or otherwise. The senate resolved to attend the funeral ceremonies of Representative Maokey in the hall of the house to-morrow afternoon. Ths senate then took np the house reso lution appropriating $50,000 for tha main teaaace of destitute Indians at Crow agen cy and elsewhere. An amendment in creasing the amount to $100,000 was agreed to. The joint resolution, thus anended, passed. The senate passed houss bills making an appropriation of $3,750,000 for rebate of the tax on tobaoco and §21,9G5 for ex penses of the legislature of New Mexico. Senator Bajard called up the bill made the special order for to-day, providing a method of settling incomplete titles to Mexican land grants. The lands affected are those derived by the United States from the Republic of Mexico and now embraced within the territory of New Mexico, Wyoming, Arizona and Utah, and the states of Nevada and Colorado. A long debate followed, but the matter went over without action. After an executive session. Adjourned. House of Representatives.

VANDERBILT SERENE. He Believes Stocks Bart Reached Bottom Figures and Must Advaiic*—N» Fours of Hog til* Legislation. New Yobk, Jan. 29.—William H. Van derbilt, Jn an interview with a Commercial Advertiser reporter, says: I think the good stocks are selling as low as they ought to sell, and they should advance. The ad vance so far is genuine and healthy. Borne stocks may advance with too much rapidity, and this may cause a reaction in some eases, but my opinion is that inside 0f*,..; thirty ' days '. t^Mrrb^j r - -spill be ... grabbing for stocks and by that time fall confidence will bo restored. I think the bottom bus been reached, and that from now on there will be a good steady rise. It may take a few .weeks yet ally to restore public confidence, bat I think that time is fast approaching. My roads are not only paying dividends but earning them, and I don't concern myself about new roads entering the field as com petitors." "Do yon anticipate any important legis lation at Albany or Washington bearing upon tho railroads?" "I cm only say the public are not going to expect transportation for nothing, but at fair, reasonable prices there is no rea son why a man who has money in roads should not get good returns for his invest ments, as much so as by tha ownership of an apple stand. We all have to live, and the man who owns railroad bonds or mer chandise or anything else depends upon the amount of his sales and the profit he derives. I therefore have no fears that any legislation that may be attempted will work to tho injury of the roads." L4SKER'3 FUNERAL. The Imposing: Ceremonies at the Burial of >■■.' * : the l>ecea»«d Statesman. Berlin, Jan. 29.—The funeral of Lasker was carried ontin accordance with, the programme. Twenty thousand people joined in the proces sion to the cemetery, and it is estimated that hundreds of thousands lined the streets along ■which the procession parsed, notwithstanding the snow storm.

Lasker'a family intend to offer thanks to the |congress of the United States for the honor paid the deceased. At the synagogue the casket was hidden under wreaths. Lasker's old constituency, Meiningen, Bent a solid silver wreath, add another magnificent wreath came from his birth place. The American minister, Sargent placed a wreath upon the cof fin. The assembly represented the whole intel lectual elite of Beilin, but no member of the ministry was present, which was considered significant. While all the Liberal papers de voted columns to this event the Nord Deutcher ZeiUmg dismissed it with a half dozen lines in tha obscurest corner. Harr Koapp in an address sai I, thai; Lasker was such a practical politi cian tbfit even Prince Bismarck was unable to dispense with his assistacce. When Lasker refused his co-opera tion, it was always from important grounds, without any trace of personal prejudice. As shovfijg his indefat.igability, Kapp recalled the remark of the American physician, who perform ed the post mortem elimination, that his fatal illness was probably traceable to the fact that Lasker bad resumed his parliamentary duties when he had scarcely recovered from a- severe typhoid fever. Kapp concluded, "Thy high deeds can never die, thy wreaths fade not." HORSE WHIPPING AT MOORHE4D. A. Young Woman Goes for Os»pt.
