THE MAIDEN SPEECH OF THE NEW NEGRO SENATOR. The speech delivered in the United States Senate yesterday by Revels, the negro Sena tor from Mississippi, marks an era in the his tory of the race he represents and in the politics of this country only second in im portance to the issue of the Emancipation Proclamation. The coming man has come. He has made his debut in the highest tribunal Of the land, and, awakening the profound at tention of his colleagues and the crowded galleries, he has carried oil the highest ora torical honors. The Democrats are endeavor ing to weaken the significance of this tri umph by asserting that the speech is not original, and it is alleged that a phonographio reporter is ready to swear that its leading points wore dictated by Governor Bullock. That there may be some color of truth in this allegation is not improbable, for it would have been foolish in Revels to violate the usual custom of the Senate by making a set speech 80 soon after his entrance into that boJy without taking counsel with his friends. The greatest of white orators often do the same thing, and dozens of white Senators and Con gressmen habitually employ the ready-writers who abound in Washington to prepare their speeches. It is a well-known fact, however, that Senator Revels is a fine orator, and abundantly able to deliver effective speeches of his own composition, so that we should not be at all surprised if his effort yesterday was substantially original. That it was won derfully well delivered no man pretends to deny. There is nothing at all strange in the development of a good negro orator. Fred. Douglass, as a public speaker, was, in his palmy days, the peer of any orator in the land, and there is scarcely a Democratic speech-maker now in the country who can equal him on the stump or the rostrum. Whatever may be the deficiencies of the negro raoe, they are certainly not deficient in voice, nor, when properly educated, in oratorioal power. They are even more likely to pro duce fine speakers, under favorable circum stances, than the Anglo-Saxon race, which is more noted for its working than its talking capacity. Revels got off a good speech, a very good speech, in the Senate yesterday, and this is a comparatively rare occurrence even in the Capitol where white speeoh makcrs most do congregate. There is a world of difference, however, between oratory and statesmanship, and the political speaker only rises into a really important and useful per sonage when he combines both these capaci ties. Revels, as a speech-maker, is far supe rior to either Grant, Washington, or Jeffer son. It remains to be seen how far he com bines practical wisdom with his other gifts, and whether his race, when ' entrusted with power, will be unlike the merry monarch "who never said a foolish thing and never did a wise one." The immediate object of the demonstration yesterday was to defeat the Bingham amendment whioh had passed in the House by the votes of the Democrats and the conservative Republicans. The lead ing provision of this amendment is that none of the offices now filled in Georgia shall be va cated, whereas Revels wishes to take a new departure in the reconstruction of that State, and especially to turn out of offne the judges who decided that negroes were, under the State laws, ineligible to offioo. The appeal made to the feeling of the Senate to promote this end was adroit and powerful. The story of the position, conduct, and claims of the colored race to protection was never better told than yesterday; and if strong words well strung together can gain the desired object, Senator Revels may win the rare honor of seriously affecting the deliberations of the Senate on an important question. It remains to be seen, however, whether the judgmentof the House will be reversed and the whole reorganization of Georgia torn up by the roots. If this is really done, a crown ing seal will be placed on the triumph of Revels; if it is not, his speech will pass into Congressional history, with thousands of others, as a fine but fruitless effort. THE BALLOT IN ENGLAND. These seems to be a fair chance that the British Parliament will adopt the bill now before it for the conduct of elections by bal lot, and then Mr. Gladstone can congratulate himself upon having distinguished his rre miership by the accomplishment of at least two creat and creanant reforms. The Ballot bill was read for a second time yesterday in the House of Commons, and the debate upon it indicates that the feeling is increasing that some such measure is absolutely necessary, not only for the protection of voters and for seouring a reasonable amount of purity in the elections, but for the prevention of in numerable outrages that are attendant upon the present system. Mr. Latham, who moved the second reading of the bill, said that it was the only remedy for great evils, especially in Ireland, where it was indispensable for the protection of voters against landlords and priests, and Mr. Osborne, in an account of his experiences as a candidate for Waterford, and the hairbreadth escapes that he under went, said that the dark ages still existed in some parts of Ireland, and that there was absolutely no freedom or security at elec tions. Everybody went armed to the polls; voters were torn from their beds, compelled to vote, and returned on shutters to find their Rouses burnod down by the opposition party. TIIE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, For thoso evils ho connidnrod the ballot a remedy, and here it is probable that ho and many other advocatos of the roform will be greatly mistaken. That the dark ages still exist in some parts of Ireland is due, more than any other causo, to centuries of British miurule and tyranny, and it will require some more potent measure, than a reform in the method of conducting elections to bring about a better state of affairs. Indeed, many of the English friends of the ballot appear to have a very exaggerated idea of its value as affecting the purity of elections. This is not altogether un natural or to be wondered at, but it is likely to produce some disappointment when the re form actually goes into operation. No one in the United States doubts for a moment that the only proper way of voting at publio elec tions is by ballot, but we do not consider it by any means as a porfoct guarantee of purity or a perfect protection for the voter. No system that could be devised would be this, but we contend that the voter is entitled to such protection as socret voting gives, and that he has, independently of every other consideration, a right to vote for who ever he chooses without anybody but himself being informed of the nature of his choice. That the ballot will produce any great or material change in the British party machinery for conducting elections immediately is scaroely probable, but that it will ultimately bring about decided improvements and plaoe an additional power in the hands of the Liberal party is certain. It will remove an incentive to riot at the polls, and it will relieve tenants and em ployes of manufacturing establishments of the neoessity that now exists of depositing their votes at the dictation of men who have the power of withholding from them the means of support for themselves and their families. These considerations alone are sufficient to induce a decision in favor of the proposed reform, especially as the old Bystem has nothing whatever in its favor except that it has been the custom from a remote an tiquity. Genebal Ames resigned his position in the regular army, a position so good that it was not worth his while to resign it unless with something decidedly better in his grasp, to accept the seat in the United States Senate to which the reconstructed Legislature of Mississippi elected him. Revels, his colored colleague, was admitted to his seat some time ago, and has already begun to feel so com fortable in it that he has made his maiden speech. General Ames, however, is still out in the cold. The Democrats made a deter mined effort to have Revels' credentials re ferred to the Judiciary Committeo, but failed. When Ames' credentials were presented by Senator Robertson, of South Carolina, on the 2"th of February, they were referred to the Judiciary Committee, without ceremony and apparently without opposition, and with the Judiciary Committee they still remain. This unusual reference and delay look as if the committee regarded the General's claims to a seat as rather unsatisfactory. At the time of his election to the Sonate, General Ames was an officer of the regular army, on duty in the State of Mississippi as military commander and provisional governor under the Recon struction acts, and if the law which applies to SHch cases in general is applied impartially to his case, he was not a citizen of the State which attempted to bestow upon him the highest honor within its gift. It is quite probable that the Senate will ultimately take this view of the case, and that the Legislature of Mississippi will be called upon to elect some one else as the direct successor to Jeff. Davis. The State Houso of Representatives yes terday made an appropriation of $000 to pay the clerk of the Treasury Investigating Com mittee, after an unsuccessful attempt on the part of somebody with a conscience to have the amount reduced to $100. After perform ing this virtuous deod, the next subject that engaged the attention of our honored legislators was to a proposition to pay Thomas Wilson, Sorgeant-at-Arms, the sum of $23790 for witness fees and services rendered in attending the Police-Bill Investi gating Committee. Strange to say, there was a decided opposition to this, which would seem to indicate that the Sergoant-at-Arms is not in the good graces of some of the mem bers. What this committee was ever ap pointed for, unless it was to give its mem bers an opportunity to have a good time in Philadelphia, nobody outside of the Legisla ture probably knows, and what servioes Ser-geant-at-Arms Thomas Wilson rendered what will entitle him to the amount named, Unless for ordering the whisky and cigars consumed by the committee during their arduous labors, nobody knows but himself. Mr. Brown, who offered tho original resolu tion appointing the committee, stated that there had been a provision to the effect that there should be no expense to the State, and further, that there had never been an order issued by the chairman to have a single wit ness subpoenaed. The matter was finally postponed for the present, in order to have the bill itemized, and we presume that the Sergeant-at-Arms understands the disposition of the average Pennsylvania legislator well enough by this time to feel tolerably sure t hat he will ultimately get the money. The Ibibh Landowners who reside outside of the island, and soldom or never set foot upon the soil they own, are said to expend $10,000,000 in gold annually. Some of them own property in England also, from whioh a portion of this immense sum is derived, but by far the greater part of it comes irom tne revenues of their Irish estates, and for tnis large drain upon the wealth of the country there is absolutely nothing given in return A country far richer in resources than Ire land would soon be impoverished by such a system. The land bill recently introduced by Mr. Gladstone in the nouse of Commons does cot attempt to deal with this question in any way, but sooner or lator tho attonti.m of the British Government must bo directed to it, and some schome devised which will tend to counteract it. The vexatious land question of Ireland can never bo satisfactorily disposed of until the evils of absenteeism are in a measure remedied. It is a difficult subject to handle, and will tax tho ingonuily and consistency of the Prime Minister to the utmost. TnE world npparently moves a little whon some one has the courage to introduce a bill for the abolition of the game laws into tho Brit ish House of Commons. It is not too much to say that those laws have o iusod more suffer ing, misery, and indefensible outrage than all the other obsoluto statutes of tho English law-books combined, and yet tho sporting in stincts of a British patrician would induce" him to consent to a severance of the Church and State, to the introduction of the ballot, to universal suffrage, or almost to the aboli tion of royalty itself, rather than that his pheasants and rabbits should not be protected by penalties dread and dire against the ravages of plcboian poachers. It is not sur prising to learn that the bill met with a bit ter opposition, and that it was withdrawn. The next time, however, it will probably be accorded a hearing, and in a few years it may even be passed, in spite of the opposition of those who will look upon it as an attempt to knock away ono of the main supports of that much-vaunted but very shadowy instrument popularly known as the British Constitution. Quite as strange things have happened without causing the downfall of nations. Tits Hon. Kodekick It. Butler, of TonneuBcc, has come to grief. Mr. Logan, In the House of Konre- sentatives yesterday, made a report from the Com mittee on Military Affairs, to the effect that Uutler had appointed to the West Point Military Academy a young man who was not a resident of his district, and had subsequently accej. ted from the father of the appointee a sum of money. The report of tho committee was accompanied by two resolutions, each being signed by half the members of tlieco n rulttce, one of them providing for the expulsion and the other for the censure nirely of Mr. Butler. Tho report was ordered to bo printed, and will coiuo before the House to-day for Its action, with what result remainB to be seen. Mr. Butler Is the Repre sentative from the First district of Tennessee, an.! was born in Wytheville, Virgiulj, on the bth of April, 1327. Ho was In early youth bound out as an apprentice to the tailoring business, which seems to be bucIi an exoelleut school for statesmanship In Tennessee, but aftr attaining his majority studied law and engaged In its practice with somo succesp, being elected a county Judge in Virginia lu 1SS0. Iu lh.')9 he was elected a member of the lower house of the State Legislature, to which pos tlon he was re-elected m 1SC1. Daing a portion of the war he served as Lleuteiiaut-Uilouel of the 13th Tennes see Cavalry, lie was a member from Tennessee of the Republican Convention held at Baltimore In 1SG4, and a member of tho state Constitutional Con vention in 1865. llo was next elected a State Sena tor of Tennessee In April, ISO'S, uod In Junu follow ing was appointed a circul" court Judge. Soon after Tennessee was restored to representation he was elected a Republican Representative lu the Fortieth Congress from the First district, aud was re-elected to the Forty-first Congress almost without opposi tion, rccelviug 10,107 votes, against 78 votes for Powell, Independent, and 75 votus for Kyle, Demo crat. Railroad Travelling. An Important paper on this subject was recently road before the English Society of Arts. The writer, Mr. G. VV. Jones, com plains of tho exorbitant charges Kiade for passen ger trail! c. Tho source of this mistake was in the selection of the mile as the standard of measure ment. It would be better to select a "stage" of ten or twenty miles, tho travellers going but a portion of the way having to pay for the entire stage. The shorter distances would be compensated for by the longer distances. Mr. Jones also suggested the em ployment of railway omnibuses. lie proposes the division of the country into railroad circles of 80 to 100 miles round, embracing a population of from 100,000 to 750,000. These circles should be ploroed with Hues of light passenger trains, starting every half hour, travelling at the rate of twenty-live miles an hour, and charging by the "stage" of llfteen miles. This would Increase tho railroad tratllo be yond Imagination. The money rate would be one penny for third-class, threepence for second-class, and sixpence for first-class accommodation. Tho saving on tickets alono would be XI 50, 000. Mr. Jones calculates that, according to this plan, travel lers might be taken to Holyhead, a distance of 264 miles, for Is. 0d., 4s. Cel., aud 9s., according to class, and to Edinburgh, adlBtance of 403 miles, at fares of Is. lid., 5s. 9d.t lis. 6d. This plan was favorably received, although Mr. Allport, the oldest railroad manager In the country, declared that its adoption would ruin every company In England. TnB PtruLic Lands The public lands of the United States previous to tho purchase of the Rus sian possessions embraced about 1,440,718,072 acres, to which was added by the acquisition of Alaska 3C9,M9,ooo acres, making a total or 1,916,245,072 acres, or more than 2,837,882 square miles.

Brevet Major-GoneralJamcs VV. Kipley, United States Army, died on Tuosday last In Hartford, Connecticut. In his seventv-eixth year. General Ripley graduated from West Point among the early cadets on June 1, 1814. Ho took high honors on his graduation and was Immediately commissioned second lloutonant of artillery, nis army life extondod without Intermission from the war of 1813 to the lato Rebellion, a period of half a centurv. He received a first lieutenant's commission April 20, 1818, and be came captain August 1, 1835, whllo a member of the 4th Artillery. In May. 1832. he was trans ferred to the Ordnance Department. His major's commission was received July 7. 1838, and that of lieutenant-colonel December 81, 1854. Ho assumed the office of Chief of Ordnance Bureau August 8, 1801, when he labored lncossantly in gathering and armln jr. the forces of the Union army for the euonresslon of the Rebellion. His great labors seriously Impaired his health, and on the 15th of Sootomber. loud, be was placed upon the retired list at his own request, and returned to hU homo In Connecticut. He wa' succeeded by General George D. Ramsey ns Chief of the Uurcau of Ordnance. General Ripley was an ablo olllccr ami a sin cere ntrlot. In the darkest days of the Rebel lion he never doubted of nucccsf, and labored wiih all the energy of bis nature to promote the Bticccfs of tho Union arms. Ho was ono of tho first to recognlzo the importance of arming tho negroes, and In this, as In all other matters connected with tho welfare of tho army and the country, ho was In advauco of niot-t of his con temporaries. General Ripley was much esteemed for his social qualities by his brother officers and by a largo clrclo of friends in civil life, and his death will be sincerely mourned.
