" Kju-cad of the legislative deelara- >s< iu the past by the States of New ?r York, Ohio and New Jersey against congressional usurpation of thj right ov to conduct elections. He declared lll> that this was not a national bill. It was th sectional. Under the provisions of bl ^Hie tirst section some portions of the r? ^^piited States would be under tin bi ^Wpervision of from two to fivo super- (b visors according to tue respective "i sizi> of the congressional ftiul judicial ?t districts. He could conceive of no l'l honest purpose for such provision. Pc It could have no eft'ect but to place the Ui people of some districts between ul: the upper and nether mill- hsi stones. As to the terms under which to the law was to go into effect (petition ov of a limited number of persons.) hi why was it so limited if it. was a ho good thing? The law should be uui- tli versally applied. Why was it that tli this very complicated and unsatisfac- 111 tory provision was putin unless there was an iiiteiition to put the yoke on f? some portions of the people ot tins u' coiiiWyand allow others to do as they AV' saw lit? He called for an explanation ^h of that provision. Now suppose the United States Courts were corrupted hi ami from the amount of corruption reported by the gentleman from Mas- rh l u . 1... 1 r?f niiniUNUtlK It IIll^IlL SUIC'l.V Uf HlIlTlt'U tluit one-half of the people were unworthy of trust, that they were to be watched as * riminals or ticket of leave men. Suppose that the supervisor were to turn to a Democrat. He had a life tenure and could not lie JU. removed. That hadn't occurred to jj, the gentleman from Massachusetts. This was a measure to rob them of .U| their dearest rights, lie had marched before the glittering bayonets of , United States soldiers to cast his j ballot.

U J 4Jr I ??Wr> Url ger majority th: n it had ever had in any l'rcsidoHial electttfh. ei Under this system, which it was cc proposed to revive, the people of the South had been robbed by picked !!! villains of the North, backed up by the bayonets of the United States so army. The South didn't want to M be caught in that position again, st "We," Hemphill continued, "know Tl thai we must either rule that country d? or leave it. Mow for myself, before the people of the United States and rj, before God, in all reverence, I swear we will not leave it. (Applause.) It j)A is the home of our fathers. There ]-[ their bones lie buried. They bought iU1 it with their blood when Concord j(, and Lexington were the battle fields of this country. They have handed it down to us unimpaired and, gen- * ' tlemen, are we not our fathers' sons' p Shall the blood tirst turn back in our ^ veins? Shall we transmit to the com- ' ing generations a great and noble , State which has been overruled and ,( down trodden by those who God never intended should rule over us? I don't hesitate to say the colored j? man has as many rights as I have, but lie can't have his rights and mine l'u too, and this law is intended to put m him again in control of the Southern 11,1 States?intended to waken their pre judicesfe'liich are fast dying out?in- tli tended to bring about again that oil constant irritation and clash between ar 1 the two colors in the South which nn will retard its growth and which will tli be the destruction of the joys of lni fo: man life.'' Hemphill then reatl from a recent G< address by ex-Governor Chamberlain SI of South Carolina, Republican, in H Host on to show what a former Gov- \\ | ernor and Republican thought of the SI 1 negro situation in the South. He to 1 knew it was useless to reason with cer- en It tain men in the North. They did not M K" -want. to anil would not boliov? any- Si y thing the South might say. Hut there SI ! were many people in the country who f believe in honesty and he had not sp I doubted that "when we pass back of t), j polities and get to the great body of in, ' the American people ami have stated th lein honestly and fairly the truth JUI > the Southern country ami the j,ii ^^hlaek man in it; when they have un W: the whole facts and have Wi CSfiBM|^^HiiHii)n, I have no doubt ]>a people pM MHHranHQ^nil^kh*1 Himi nnHnnHH^nil^^iH. hi v the bill aroscchielly from the con tion of affairs in the South, am ?on being challenged for specilica >11 by Southern members he gav< stances in AJ abama, Georgia, Mis ssippi and Arkansas.

Lehlbach, of New Jersey, ltcpub sail, said he could not favor tin jislation. He admitted the condi )u of elections in many parts of tin uiitry would seem to justify tin .ssage of such a measure. He lnu > doubt frauds were perpetrated t< certain extent both North am >uth. It would, however, in hi anion be worse not to let the peopl the several States regulate thei m elections.

He also renewed his attack on the present federal administration, as oppressive (i to the farming interests. He begged of his people a courteous hearing for Lj other speakers, saying they only maintained their self respect by being courteous to ot hers. ' Colonel Karle, who was the next I speaker, was greeted with loud cheers and throughout Lis speech was lis tencd to with respect and attention ? except one or two attempted inter * roptions. His speech was very aggressive. ( He said the State Government had () been charged with extravagance and ,, "prruntioii. .He said the ycuort was tiiat Capt, Till man only paiu S13 m taxes on l.HOO acres of land and other property. Tillman said that was State taxes. 0 Karle said the report said all. s Tillman said it was a lie. ' Colonel Karle said the railroads in Kdgetield county were returned at a low valuation and Tillman was a member of the board of equalization.

He thanked (tod he had ^ made him acknowledge the honesty of one man against whom he hail made charges and if that was all y he accomplished he felt his canvass of the State had not been in vain. s Earle accused Tillman of slandering the State and read from an arc tide published in The Cotton Plant. Tillman had in this slandered every l- officer the State has had since'7(5. t- He went through the institutions of g the Shell manifesto and, platform \ and assailed the objectionable points, s He asked Gary how he got 011 the - ticket. Gary said he was, tendered the ; nomination by Shell. <t Colonel Earle spoke of the pri0 niary and alluded to the rejected it, proposition at Union. He closed amid 11 rousing cheers. (. When Captain Tillman was presented there was perfect pandeinonium. Tillman said it was the most impartial crowd he had seen except ,{ in Columbia. All the candidates had (> been received so warmly. He said it j, was the fourteenth county he had 1 been in and there were more Bratton and Earle men here than all the others put together. s Tillman was continually interrupted 5- 1...+u,. 1: 01 i ?.?.> mi- nui\> v? liiu^miy cm iui; cruffd. v Tlio spirit of the anti's seemed to be to listen, but the two sides wriui11 gled so among themselves that it was almost impossible to hear. 1 Finally Tillman said he had twenty ' two more speeches to make and he would not be howled down by ajmob. v A voice cried out, "get down." ' Tillman said, "all right, sir. I'll get down," and took his seat. The intcnsest excitement followed ~ this incident ami anything like order ' was impossible. One man walked up on the stand, shook hands with ' Tillman and said he was a Bratton man at flrst but now he was a Till s manite "from hell to breakfast." ' A prominent Bratton man said it * was only righteous indignation for '' the treatment of Bratton at Laurens. ' After live minutes of confusion thrice confounded Tillman again ' proceeded and was heard with re ' spectful attention till the close of his s speech. He rehearsed the charges of the l) campaign and endeavored to defend r the action of the March Convention. He said he was the head of the ticket ' and the only man suggested by the organization and if he was elected it i- would be one time the head would I wag the dog. He would not allow 1 the lawyers on his. ticket to dictate his policy. Ii He said he would carry all the e counties in the State except live or e six. and the people wi re goingtohnvo c si liovernor Tillman in spite of them i. selves. In alluding to his prospects, it lie said lie knew of only one tiling 11 which could heat him. It would he i for the News and t'ourier to turn it over and advocate him for Governor, n The people would then say he had >t sold out. lie charged many impost e tionsand extravagances of the State i government, naming the cost of the n penitentiary, the experiment stations n and agricultural bureau, and giving the figures of the reports of tilt1 cost of the Agricultural Depart I SJ' incut. Earle renewed the proposition to , lmve an expert to exmniiie the departinent. Tillman said ho would make no investigations till he was Governor. ',0' Tillman read a letter of Senator * Woodward accusing' him of assaulting !, the State Government. Woodward denied the charge em phatciallv. Another episode seemed 00 imminent. Woodward said there V'l vere Tillmanites on the stand with 1111 l!i . hands en their pistols. James m< Tillman, son of C'ongi essinau Tillman. construed the remark as applying to 11,1 himself and some hot words passed but all was quieted in a few moments *lt> aud Tillman closed his speech.

Mr. John It. Lynch, the colored ^ ex Representative from Mississippi, ri, and now fourth auditor of the treas si< urj*, writes an exeeedingl.v lengthy a' connnnnieation to the Post in favor x\' su ?f the proposed federal election law. Mr. Lynch is one of the ablest of the hi colored politicians of the South, or g< rather he was, for practically Wash su ington has been his abiding place for rc a number of vcars. and the outy *11- T, lie appears to take in his race is when tr he writes an occasional letter or tl: makes an occasional speech on South- pt ern affairs. He is a thorough politician, and a professional colored poli- st tician can not be expected to give ai good advice to his people. There arc cl 110 strong points in his argument in ei favor of another force bill. It pro- tl eeeds on the old assumption that the tl colored voters of the South arc never L to have any liberty of opinion, but are tl to be forever chained to the hind o! wheel of the Republican party. In tl opposition to Mr. Lynch the voice of fii a great many of the real representa- c:tives of his race have been raised? ai men who have not come to Washing- h< ton to look forotlice, bill have stayed w at home and cast their lot with their hi own people.

He w said the caucus bill now pending in pi the House was needless, that it. was g( plainly unconstitutional, and if en cl acted would entirely fail to accoin- fr plish the purposes for which in gc tended. Its only elt'ect would be to ai disturb harmony ami promote ill will, m He said there was a time years ago pc when the Republican party in Con cl gross, if it had had the courage, could have settled the negro question, cl and settled it permanently.
