COLUMBIAN SUPPLEMENT.
Bloomsburg, Pa.. Friday, February 4, 1 S87.
Riudleberger oa Aristocrats.
.Senator Uiddlobcrgcr ot Virginia
recently said to a friend in Washing
ton : "I proposo showing tho Senate
that I have somo rights in that body
and do tfot intend that I shall always
10 looked upon as one, like many of
tho others, simply occupying a seat in
tho chamber. I liavo my opinion ui)
on subjects, and havo tho eatno right
to express myself as those who havo
been elected to tho Senato bcomiao of
their vast wealth. I havo nova- op
posed anything that I thought waa
proper. Thoro is too much aristocracy
in tho Senate, and a growing tendency
upon a majority of Senators to do
everything except what is American.
It is not a body representing tho peo
plo of tho country, but upon tho con
trary, a kind of a club whero nono but
tho rioh and arbitrary are wanted. A
poor man in tho Senate is Heated by
many of his biother Senators as an
outlaw and looked upon with ecorn aud
derision. I am poor and am proud of
it, and all tho timo I h.ivo been hero
thoro has been only ono Senator who
has shown mo tho courtesy of inviting
rao to his house. This was Senator
Palmer, of Michigan. I asked him if
it was necessary to como in evening
dress and ho Baid it was. J could not
go becauso I did not have tho money
to spare with which to purchase' the
conventional evening dress suit. It
may be," continued tho Senator, "that
becauso I do not wear a dress suit I am
not appreciated by my colleagues.''
Tho Senator for the last fow days
has been considering tho question of
resigning aud will probably resign at
the assembling of tho Fiftieth Con
gress. "I think," ho said, "that in tho
event of my resignation I will enter
the State Senate of my State and do
what I can to repeal some of the odious
laws that are now upon tho statute
books, which havo boon enacted under
tho Mabone rule. I know that Ms
hone despises me, but I do not care for
that. If I could control every voto in
tho State, Mahono could buy them
way from me in fifteen minutes. Ma
hono has a standing in tho Senate, be
oauso ho has money. I havo douu. as
much for the people of Virginia 89 he.
The other Senators can speak of mo as
tnoy HKe, but they cannot buy me,
neither can they force me to voto at
all times in tho interest of corporations
and array myself on tho side of the
woum-be aristocracy.
The Lojalty of Old Blaves,
A rare instance of tho fidelity of two
oolorcd men to their former master has
1'ust corao to publio attention in
Jcforo tho war one of tho
proudest slave owners in that
section was Col. Downinc. He was
the owner of largo tracts of land, as
well as of a number of slaves. When
tho troubles of 18G0 came on he was
tho rankest secessionist in the country,
Tho strntrglo lett him land poor ; acre
by aero lie sold it off, beint; unable to
square himself with the now order of
things. At last when all his land was
gone and his family dead, ho was
afllicted with blindness and was in
danger of being put in tho county poor
house.
"They must not do that with old
master, said Joo Downing. Joe and
his brother Peter were tho slaves of
Col. Downing boforo tho war and al
irays went under his name. While
tneir old master was going down in
the world, theso two colored men wero
hard at work and saving money. They
purchased lot) acres ol rich laud, built
thereon a comfortablo house, accumu
lated livo stock aud farming implo
meets and had good credit at the bank
here. To this homo they took their
old master, installed him in tho best
rooms and compelled all tho peoplo
around to treat him with tho utmost
respect. Lately Col. Downing has
seen leaving that his death was ap
proaching and Beemed to be fearful
that Im might bo buried as a pauper.
To ease his mind on this matter, tho
brothers have just deposited in bank
hero $100, to bo held until the old
man's death, with which to pay all
funeral expenses. Milledgeville (?,)
