ELLIOTT SEATED BY A PAETI TOTE
The contest between Messrs. Elliott and
Emails, the latter colored, for a seat in Con
cress as a Representative f:om South Caro
lina, -was decided yesterday in favor of
Elliott. The discussion over the report of
the Committee on Contested Seats ras ex
tremely heated, and ended in a small-sized
riot, which the Sergeant-at-Arms had diffi
culty in suppressing. Both Republican
and Democratic members claimed to be the
friends of the colored man, and the retorts
vVere warm and pointed.
"Washington .February 13. The Smalls
Elliott contest was settled in favor of the
latter in the House to-day. When the
matter was taken up for consideration Mr.
Hemphill, ot South Carolina, took the floor
and said that all this gabble and talk
about the unfair registry laws of South
Carolina was the merest twaddle, and was
intended to affect results different from those
involved in this case. The people of South
Carolina believed that a white man was as
rood as a negro. They believed that the
Begro should have all lis rights, but they
did not believe that he should have all his
rights and the white man's rights too, and
they did not intend that he should have
them. Some gentlemen worked themselves
into a creat passion in talking about the
suppression of votes in Southern States.
The gentlemen from Illinois (Mason and
Howell) had delivered phillipics against
the Southern people, and had declared that
the people ot South Carolina stood convicted
before the people of the United States of a
great crime in depriving the negroes ot their
right to vote.
PASSION NOT XOGIC.
The speech made by the gentleman from
Illinois (Mr. Howell) and the great passion
lie had worked himself into was proof that
he did not have very much faith in the
strength of his case. He had resorted to the
old plan of abusing the plaintiff when he had
nothing in the shape of facts to present to the
jury.
Mr. Howell said that he Had not cone outside
of the record, and had confined his remarks to
the Seventh district of South Carolina. He
had merely discussed the facts of the case. If
because the people of South Carolina did not
choose to cast their ballots, gentlemen were
coins to argue upon the census that there had
been a suppression of the vote, let them apply
tbe same nil to Massachusetts and Rhode
Island. All the people of tbe South asked was
fair treatment. If the colored men were so
dear to the people of tbe North (and be wasnot
going to express any undue affection for them)
why did not some of tbe Northern States elect
a colored man to Congress and make a living
example of his fitness to make laws for the peo
ple of the United States.
A BED-HOT DEBATE.
There was a number of States in the North
which would not have a glimmer of a chance
of being carried by tbe Republicans except for
tbe colored race. The colored people had been
full-fledged citizens since 1S6S, and yet in the
Northern States, which had a colored vote
which could keep tbe Republican party in or
turn it out,not a single instance had tbere been
of a man elected to Congress who bad a tinge
of color in bis blood.
"Can you name a Northern State," broke in
Sir. Hopkins, of Illinois, "where the colored
vote is 20 per cent of tbe entire vote 7"
"Oh." replied Mr. Hemphill, "then it comes
to this, that unless there are in a district
enough negro votes to put in a man of color, he
never gets there. Applause and laughter.
If you want colored men to vote for a wbito
man, and if a colored man is as good as a white
man, why does not a white man occasionally
Tote for a colored man." Laughter.
CARING FOB COLORED MEN.
Mr. Hopkins Do you know of a Northern
State where a colored man aspires in that di
rection? Do you not know that the white men
there take care of tbe colored men T
"Oh," cried Mr. Hemphill, sarcastically, "I
know that. I have never known a colored man
in a district in a Northern State who bad tbe
assurance or presumption to suppose that they
would elect him to office even, it ho did aspire
to it." Applause on Democratic side.
This last remark of Mr. Hemphill's aroused
the Republicans, and Messrs. Gheadle, Fun
Bton, Owen, Row ell and others were on their
feet plying Mr. Hemphill with questions, which
neither be nor anybody else was able to hear,
on account of the creat confusion in the
House, the mingling of voices and tbe persist
ent demand for the "regular order."
Finally Mr. Rowcll's voice was beard above
the rest declarinc that in Illinois colored men
had been elected to the Legislature.
GBOWIKG SAKCASTIC.
"We elect them to the Legislature of South
Carolina," responded Mr. Hemphill, "so com
monly that I would not think of mentioning it
Laughter. We elect them on the Republican
ticket and on tbe Democratic ticket, and tbe
first time I was in the Legislature both my col
leagues from my district and our Senator were
colored."
Mr. Johnson, of Indiana, suggested that the
county should have elected another colored
man at the same time. Laughter.
"I do not say,' continued Mr. Hemphill,
"that a colored man in tbe North does not oc
casionally creep into tbe Legislature; but in
tbe South he gets into the Legislature all the
time; and I know that since 1S68 there has not
been a Legislature in South Carolina that has
not contained colored men, both Democrats
and Republicans."
Continuing. Mr. HenDhill said that be pro
posed to show from a Chicago paper published
in 1857, that a colored inn had not as many
rights in Chicago as in Mobile and New
Orleans.
This brought Mr. Adams, of Illinois, to his
feet with a demand for specifications.
WICKED CHICAGO.
Mr. Hemphill replied that he would specify,
end he quoted from tbe paper to show that in
Chicago a colored boy could not get into a
trade and could not learn to be a mason or a
carpenter.
Mr. Adams Neither can any American boy.
"If that is so." exclaimed Mr. Hemphill,
"Chicago is worse than I thought it was.
Laughter. It is bad enough to treat a poor
darkey that way, but when you treat every
man that way, it is worse than I thought.
Laughter.
"I agree with you," was Mr. Adams' com
ment. Continuing, to show the bad treatment of the
negro m the noith. Mr. Hemphill said that he
had seen it stated that in Marion, DL,-where
some colored men had recently been employed
in a tobacco warehouse, notices had been
served upon them that if tbey did not leave
town in ten days they would receive summary
punishment, and notice had been served upon
their employer that if they were not dis
charged his factory would be burned down. At
Fort Scott, in Kansas, colored children had
been turned out of the white schools.
UTILE SOUTH CABOUXA.
This declaration aronsed Mr. Funston, of
Kansas, who vehemently, amid loud cries for
order, denied the assertion.
Mr. Hemphill 1 will not yield. It Is not worth
wnue to get excited.
"From what do you readr shouted Mr.
Funston through tbe din.
"From the New York Jfation," replied Mr.
Hemphill, while the Republicans indulged in
derisive laughter.
' Oxford. O-," continued Mr. Hemphill,
"100 people held a meeting to protest against the
admission of colored children to the white
schools."
Mr. Williams, of Ohio, declared that Oxford
was a town with 2,400 Democratic majority.
Laughter.1
Mr. Hemphill So far as the North Is con
cerned, the Democrats and Republicans think
the same.
Mr. Williams That portion of Ohio Is called
South Carolina. Laughter.
Mr. Gallinger asked Mr. Hemphill If he did
not know that Ohio had elected a negro as a
member of the Electoral College.
UNSUBSTANTIAL GLOBr.
Mr. Hemphill replied that he' knew, that a
negro did sometimes slip Into an office thathad
no salary connected with it Applause and
laughter. But a colored man could not live
on glory any more than a white man. He (Mr.
Hemphill) did not know any people more in.
teres ted in having a free ballot and a fair count
and some just solution of the negro problem
than the people of the South. There the
whites and tbe blacks were to live together:
"sink or swim, live or die. survive or perish,"
they must go together. But it did not lie in
the mouths of people who had treated this
race as the people of the North had treated
them to give the South advice on this question,
and particularly on the question of houesty in
elections, until tbey had done some missionary
work among themselves. Applause on Demo
cratic side.
Mr. Lafolette, of Wisconsin, said that tbe
gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Hemp
ill) in his excursion through the North had
demonstrated one thing that in the center of
Democracy and ignorance in the North the be
havior toward the negro was just the same as
it was in the South. Applause on the Repub
lican side.
A SHOBT STEP.
From the bloodhound and the rawhide, the
South Carolina election law was but a little step.
He warned the gentleman on the other side
that a majority would ultimately control in
every corner of the Union. What would the
gentlemen think if the colored men turned and
said: "The villany you taught us we will exe
cute, and it will go hard if we do not better the
instructions." In the name of the lost past be
entreated the gentlemen to stop for the sake of
peace and honor, to go no further in this infa
mous business. The hour was at hand when
tbe people would make it their first business
to secure and preserve the representative char
acter of this Government Applause on the
Republican side.
Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, said that the
argument of the centleman from South Caro
lina (Mr. Hemphill) was the old, old argument
"that you're another." It was tbe argument
that because one wrong existed it could be
balanced by saying that another wrong existed
somewhere else. Two wrongs had never made
a right and they never would. Because the
fundamental rights of the black citizen were
torn up by the roots in South Carolina, it was
no answer to say that tbere were here and
there instances of race prejudice against him
in the North.
AN HONEST BBEAKFAST.
It was no answer to say that because a group
of men here and there in the North manifested
an unworthy race prejudice, that men in tbe
South had the richt to deprive the black man
of tbe rights granted to him by the Constitu
tion. The gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Cnsp)
had spoken of the election in the Seventh dis
trict as a free, fair and honest one. This re
minded him of the story of the English gentle
man crossing the plains, who got off tbe stage
at one of the way stations, and, going up to the
bar, said that be would like a breakfast
poached eggs, steak and coffee. The barkeeper
looked at him across the bar, drew
out his revolver, covered him and
said, "You will eat hash." He (Mr. Lodge)
had no doubt that in the view of the barkeeper
tbe centleman bad a full, fair and honest
breakfast (laughter), but he doubted whether
that was the view taken by the traveler. He
then went on to review the methods which he
said were practiced in the South to stifle the
voice of the majority, saying that it had come
to such a pass that in Arkansas the fraud had
begun with the plunder of tbe ballot boxes ana
ended with the murder of the contestant Tbe
Secretary of the State of Tennessee bad been
putting obstacles in tbe way of the delivery of
the certificates of the man elected on the face
of the returns.
A BEVOLUTIONABT STEP.
The Governor of West Virginia had with
held certificates from two Republican Con
gressmen elected on tbe face of the returns.
Did the gentlemen suppose that tbe people of
the North were going to submit to such a thing
as that It was absolutely the most revolution
ary step that could be taUen. These men had
undertaken to seize the powers of the House to
judge of the election of its members, and to say
wno snouia constitute a majority ot the Amer
ican Congress. It was a part of the same evil
system. Both parties expended money in elec
tions. It was six of one and half a dozen of
the other, but the feeling of tbe North was in
favor of getting rid of this, and it would get
rid of it There must be fair elections in the
South and in the North, in the East and in the
West
Mr. Tarsney, of Michigan, said that he must
protest against the assumption by the Repub
licans that they were the sole guardians of the
colored man. The highest law he knew was
the Constitution and his understanding, and
when the Republicans insisted that the colored
man was entitled to a seat in this House they
were in error. When they spoke of gerry
mandering South Carolina districts, he could
show them a district in a Northern State, made
by a Republican Legislature, 230 miles long by
27 miles wide. He bad seen as much bulldozing
at the polls In the North as he had heard re
counted before this House. He favored a fair,
free ballot, but when the Republicans sought
to draw sectional lines they were making a
mistake, and when tbey asked him to vote to
seat a man whom be believed was not elected
tbey made another.
SOLID BUT CABELESS.
In the course of his remarks Mr. Tarsney was
interrupted when reflecting upon the shape of
an Iowa district by Mr.Catcheon, who declared
that the district was solid at least
Mr. Tarsney immediately retorted: "Yes,
and they're getting so careless that they do not
care whom they elect" Laughter.
Mr. Rowell, of Rlinois, closed the debate for
the Republicans, saying that notwitstanding
all of the assaults made upon it. Robert
Smalls' ma jontv of 129 votes still lived. With
tbe exception of one witness no voter had
sworn that he was prevented from voting the
Democratic ticket or compelled to vote the Re
publican ticket
Mr. Crisp, of Georeia, in concluding the ar
gument for the majority of the committee, de
nied the truth of the general statements that
bad been made touching election outrages in
the South, and said there was nothing ibout
Southern elections that was not as fair, and as
well calculated to secure an untrammelled ex
pression of view as in an election in any other
section.
Mr. Johnston, of Indlana,tried to interrupt
tbe speaker, but Mr. Crisp waved him off with
the remark that the gentleman was imitating
the tactics of Smalls. In a .State where they
resorted to "blocks of five" perhaps they had
better have looked at home before they went
abroad.
This remark brought the .Indiana Republic
ans to their feet in indignant protest, but Mr.
Crisp declined to permit interruptions, and in
the midst of the uproar his time expired.
A BIOT IN THE HOUSE.
Then a scene of tumult and confusion en
sued. During the delivery of Mr. Crisp's
speech, the main aisle of the House had be
come thronged with members of both parties,
who kept up an incessant demand for the regu
lar order, while Mr. Crisp attempted to have
his time extended, and while the Indiana Re
publicans continued their vigorous but entirely
unintelligible demand for an opportunity to re-
The Speaker pro tem (Mr. McCreary) at
tempted vainly to .quell the tumult which was
Sadually assuming tbe proportions of a riot
e was finally compelledto call upon the ser-geant-at-arms
to assist him in preserving the
peace. That official, armed with a silver mall
of authority, proceeded up tbe main aisle scat
tering the members on all sides, but even with
his assistance it was many minutes before the
presiding officer could bring the body to a state
of comparative quiet
Then Mr. Crisp asked leave to extend bis
remarks in the -Record, but Mr. Johnston, of
Indiana, objected unless he could be given the
same permission in answer, he said, to the fling
made against his State by tbe gentleman from
Georgia. At Mr. Rowell's suggestion, how
ever, leave was granted Mr. Crisp to print and
Mr. Johnston again come forward with his re
quest but Mr. O'Ferrall, of Virginia, objected,
wbich led to tbe remark from Mr. Owen, of
Indiana, that "there is a hereafter of unani
mous consents."
Tbe vote was then taken on the minority re
port declaring Mr. Smalls entitled to a seatand
it was rejected by a party vote of yeas 126,nays
143, with exception of Wilson, of Minnesota,
and Russell, of Massachusetts, who voted with
the Republicans. The majority resolution
seating Elliott was then agreed to without a
division and tbe House adjourned.
How to Overcome the Dangers of Kxposure.
Francis O'Reilly, the well-known livery man
of No, 18 Prince street New York, says of All
cock's Porous Plasters:
"For the last 42 years I have been engaged in
the livery and hacking business. I am greatly
aided by my four boys. We are much exposed
to tbe weather, and we have found Allcock's
Plasters of very great service. We use them
as chest protectors, placing one on the chest
and one on the pit of tbe stomach. They not
only ward off the cold, bnt act as a tonic
"We are frequently affected with rheuma
tism, kinks in the back, and pains in the side;
but one or two of Allcock's Plasters quickly
cure us. My wife and daughter have been using
Allcock's Plasters for weak back and think the
world of them. I have now been using them
for 20 years, and always have a box in the
nnmp"
bouse."

SHOULD ALWAYS MAKE IT A "POINT" TQ VISIT
KAUFMANNS'
HANDSOME AND SPACIOUS
CLOAK DEPARTMENT.
All things considered, you cannot spend a more profitable or
pleasant hour than a call at and a leisure stroll through these vast
Cloak Parlors. Why? The reason is plain. First Courteous
salesmen and obliging salesladies are always ready to "show you
through," whether you wish to buy or not Second Kaufmanns',
being the only house in Western Pennsylvania sending its buyers to
the European markets, always show the latest styles from London,
the "Haute Nouveaute's" from Paris and the "Neuesten Moden"
from Berlin fully two (often three and four) weeks in advance of
any other house in Pittsburg or Allegheny. Third Kaufmanns' as
sortment is the largest in the city by big odds; to tell the truth,
they show more goods in one corner of their grand Cloak Depart
ment than the entire stocks of the very houses which daily fill the
advertising columns of the newspapers with loud claims and noisy
pretentions. Fourth Kaufmanns' are the Pioneers and Champions
of the Ladies' tailor-made garments system, and there isn't a
woman in the land who doesn't prefer the superior fit and make of
the tailor-made article. Fifth Kaufmanns' prices are invariably
the lowest in the city.
These five reasons we ask every thinking woman in both cities
to consider. "Be sure you're right, then go ahead" and buy. We
have just unpacked
NOVELTIES in INFANTS' SLIPS and DRESSES
We have them from 19c up. Beautiful white and colored Dresses
for 29c Very handsome Dresses in flannels, basket cloths and
