. Speech or Senator Bevels.
Friend# ! and Fellow-Citizens: It is known to
wljo now hear me, how patiently the
Southern slaves bore their bondage, so
patiently that many thought they had ho de
-B*Fe j ,e free > bnt this was & mistake, I,
who, had every opportunity during my ndn
lsterings among them to sound the deptha of
tneir hearts, know how earnestly they yearned *
for freedom ; but they prayed and waited,
m the oontdetion that He who orders
all thingß rieht, would, in the fullness of time,
enect their deliverance in such manner as to
id's wisdom should '‘'seem meet. Their'
faith was! unwavering, and when the -time
came for its exertion, the keenness of
their perception was admirable; add their con
duct Such as to merit the highest praise/ Iso
lated as they were from the world of ahtiOn,
Of eveuts; cut off from all Sources of informa
tion of that world by reasbtf of their inability
to read ; plied constantly with the most fright
ful stones about the'“ Yankees,-” as 'dtir sol
diers were termed-they yet had theMlscrimi
nation to know and appreciate' their, true
friends. As many a Northern man cap tes
tily. when fleeing from a Southern prison, the
sight of a black face was hope and joy; bis
Sole reliance,-under God, for escape from a
i dreadful death. When we take into Consid
| oration the numerous instances in whloh the
I Union soldier had no choice between death
from starvation and exposure off'the one
! baud, and implicitly trusting the first dark-
I visage-d stranger be might meet with on the
nr ! other hand, and the certainty ot much re
! «ard to the slave for the’ betrayal, and the
E, Tl/T i greater certainty of terrific punishment ifdis-
EADY-iVJ.ADE | covered assisting the fugitive, together with
1 AUJb : the tact that no such betrayal did take place,
Cl think you must allow, my friends, that bis-
T OTPTTTMfI tory has few parallels, on so gigantic a scale,
** . of such combined courage and lidelity as was
j displayed by the negro throughout the whole
j course of the war. ( Applanse.l
' j There was, then, surpassing beauty in a
, black face, for therein was beliald rescue,
i -afetv, friendship. [Applause.] Where cau
! there be a prouder Tecord throughout the
; "bole course of the war? Not a Bingle in
! stance, not a solitary egse wherein the black
! man or woman betrayed trust. And doubly
j faithful, while succoring the distressed in
-1 vader, they, at the same time, gave service,
support ami protection to the feminine and
juvenile family, of their absent task-master. A
little more free of tongue and pert of speech
they may have been, but that was all the re
venge they sought or took for their manifold
wrongs.
Fooii after the commencement of the war
the question was mooted,' “ Shall we employ
Mack troops ’-” The replies were various.
“ They will not tight,” said one; “ the sight of.
their masters will so intimidate them they will
throw down their ,anns, and flee.” Said
another: “They are barbarians and savages
anyhow; their psalm-singing and conversion
to Christianity is all pretence, , Once let them
imbrue ibtir hands Iff blood and tliwr savage
instincts will beafoused'; sberies'aa‘ Will make
humanity shudder and bring a blightnpon our
cause will l>c the consequence.” “ Under any
circumstances,”said others, “it would he im
proper and degrading to, put arms- into the
bands of the black*’ to “mrtcWr J dffr white
brethren, misguided though they be.” And
yet again others said, “ How shall we remit
the blacks to Slavery .when the war is over, if
t we make soldiers of then! -now And the
! various replies resolved themselves into one
comprehensive Noll and Fremont was or

The final result of onr triumph, the cap

glory of the edifice raised to Freedom,was the
ratilieation of the .Fifteenth. Amendment,
which we now celebrate. ThiSsacrei Amend

the.last hope of the rebellion; which abolishes,
-so tar as statutes can abolish, the last civil anil
I political distinction between different classes

;,.one harmonious whole. ‘•Rpluribus Umtm” is
/the glory of the hour. This Amendment,
/which firmly places the ballot in the'hands of
the male adult members pf a race numbering
I from fourth five' millions; had become a pi>
j litical necessity as.imperipus as was, the mili
tary necessity which placed the bayouet lutho

FOI'BTD: DEAD IS DHIIHOSD.
A Nad navi Carton* Circumstance.
I From til. Richmond Whig, April 11.]'
lAn old white woman named Mrs. Ann Mi
chaud, hut kuown te persons residing in the
lower portion of the city as Nancy Hayes,was
found.dead, Saturday morning, in an oldframe
house on the south side of Main street. She
had been living in tliis house for many years,
iter only companion being an insane brother;
and eked out a miserable living by keeping
fowls,-cows,-&c.- Her death was discovered
! *>y a servant sent by one of the' neighbors td
ascertain the cause of her non-appearance,
When everybody else in the vicinity was ex.
cited by, a Sprang chimney near bv. The dis
covery was- reported to the Coroner.* t>n
searching the premises, two calves, which the
old woman had .beep raising,, were found dead
—apparently lrom starvation. The insane
bf other was fbubd ’on the premises, and when
questioned, stated that his sister had been
:isltepior.» long--lime„.and. that,' befbra„sha
went to sleep she.had .complained of being
unwell. He stated that be had nothing to
eat, and had lived on coffee and water. He
also stated that -he had hotfbeentfff the lot
for sixteen years;. He was taken .'charge of
aiidcatTietHotherOld-MarketSmtion-hOllgß,
whbte he will remain until some proper 'dis
position can'be made of him. ;! The Search was
further: ksbntiimecL; and; resulted in tho hading
in an old trunk of a bag containing about 5800
iu Confederate notes, and about.sJt) in Federal
..-urrency, showing plainly, that 'she had not
died irom destitution,, but,' more probably,
discasisapd neglect. Coroner Seabrook had a;
jury of inquest summoned, who, after view
and Mr*. Kerse, rendered, a verdict, that she
? ;ime to her death frbm 'natural causes'.; The
fOdy and premi es were .placed ip charge of
two’pdlicemen until the -arrival of a brother

Vat.paiiaiso, March, 3, 1870.—As the ap
of th® elections in April straws near.
J 2 '- e anxjety and excitement prevailing lit
the republic concerning them becomes more
secsihle and general. The rival factions
throughout the country are'now in" reality
Preparing for the fray .and the season of rest
? n “ etpoytnent at. the watering places, re
ferred to in my latest despatches, has givew
waytoailthe agitation ofan important poll#-
non that the thirds of the people have been
greatly exercisedregardingitfor’ months past,' 1
and the fact that; upon tho next Congress de
volycs the duty of xeforraingthe constitution,
and Nearly eAtabliShlhgthe fight of franchise
attaches* a very peculiar interest td the rCsttlt;
However,, no,;troubleis; apprehended; the'
S°°d people of Chile are well convinced that
their 1 prosperity lies' rather Itfpeace than in’
wary and' the experiences of many years of
franngilljty, together with the example of our
neighbors, tends to increase this conviction.
In a few days the nominations of candidates
i will hard been concliided,andfhen we'may
expect the wprk to begin in earnest; A very
mtjer crusade against the government is pro
greshingln tbe iiberal newspapers oh account
of the position assumed by the officers of the
administration respecting the elections. Ac
cording tO the 'laws and customs hitherto
dominant in the republic, the Governors and
Mayors of provinces and towns have had an
immense power in determining, the choice of
[the people, always; astis natural, casting their
influence in favor of those candidates ap
proved, of by the common master—the ad
ministration. In this canvass this power has
not been neglected,-and the probabilities are
that the favorites of the government will be
retnrned in majority. Nevertheless, tbe policy
of the present Cabinet' has recently undergone
so radical a change that the difference between
its ideas and those of the opposition party is
merely technical, and little doubt is enter
tained in any case of the realization of those'
liberal projects so greatly required by the re
pnblic.
The Emperor of the Araucanians, Orelie
the First, aided by his caciques and the
Frenchmen who mainly compose his Council
of State, still appears disposed to carry war
into Africa. Jn spite of all thepeaceful meas
ures resorted to by'the government in order
to avoid a resumption of hostilities, and the
endeavors of the Chilean commander to en
force a due execntion of the treaties concluded
lately between the President and the Indian
chiefs, itis positively known that great pre
parations are being made in the savage camps
to organize their hordes for an active cam
paign* and a formidable raid on. the part of the
Indians is t almost daily expected. The settlers
along the frontier, taught by sad experience,
are leaving their holdings, notwithstanding
that the presence of a considerable number of
national troops should 'inspire them s with; a
certain degree ’of confidence, blit the knowl
edge of the almost irresistible force of the
Araucanians in their first onset, and the
crnelties ; and barbarities ■' 'practised, ' im
pel the immigrants" "td - resort to a step”
which causes great suffering and loss. In the
meantime the government is not idle. All
the militja of the smxoiindinj; districts have
been placed under arms, detachments of
troops are daily proceeding towards the
scene of action, nearly
(i,OOO meD, horse, foot and artillery, will soon
be ready to repel any attack that may he made
upon the.sett-loraent. fThgfreasons ljeld-by the
government' in assuming this defensive posi
tion are considered to be the disinclination to
give the Indians an'example:of breaking the

The steamship Nevada, of the Williams &
.Guron line,- arrived' last evening at dastle’
Garden,trom Liverpool and Queenstown, and
discharged 1;1'22 steerage > passengers, mostly'
of English and Trish nationality: There was
a general complaint of improper and insuffi
cient food. In the first place; the ticket Which
they purchase says on its face that it is to be
retained until .they arrive at the point of de
barkation. / If moreover gives the bill of fare
:allowed to each passenger for the day,' and
among other things mentioned are one pound
of bread and three quarts of water; but this
ticket was'taken'up soon after leaving Qucens
town, thus .depriving them of the means of
reference or demanding their rights.
The following is the bill of fare which was
doled out to them during the voyage :
For breakfast—Four ounces’ of bread and
one tin cup of coffee ; four times during the
voyage thpy'had j butter. For dinner—ltice
soup, stinking fresh meat, or salt meat and
bad potatoes; ; For supper—Biscuit, butter and
ten. i
All of this was insufficient and badly cooked.
That was the burden;of their complaint. Dur
ing the voyage'the thirst caused by eating salt
meat—for they could noteattheso-called fresh
meat—could hot be allayed by the small quan
tity of water furnished, and a rush was made
for the pump, which was forcibly seized, and
;the passengers helped themselves until the wa
ter ’.vos turnedoff.- ~
East Friday a/depntatlon of passengers went
to the captain and complained of their cruel
treatment., They had had nothing that day for
dinner hot salt fish, without potatoes or bread.
,But little or no satisfaction could be obtained
from him. ■ . , , > ,
The immigrants apeak in kind terms of the
steerage steward, who was obliging to them;
but it was the first voyage in this steamer by
•the chief steward, and he exhibited a fiendish
.ambition to curry favor with his employers,
bv getting tip this system of starving economy.
He was heard, to order the baker to make the
loaves smaller, no matter if the passengers did
complain.. -Some AMh,e men said they would.
father go to, prison, and eat prison fare, than
to ship in the Nevada again.

»11. MARY WALKER.
How She was J>ef«nte<l in a Smoky
Contest.
The militant medical major Mary Walker
has found her Waterloo in Texas. After a
conquering career throughout the habitable
portions of the Union, "putting to headlong
flight all concourses that dared to face her;
after a military record of triumphant years,
during which she was a terror alike to friend
and toe;. after meeting and vanquishing the
wild hordes of New ' Orleans street
gamins with conspicuous velvet bravery,
this heroine , of a hundred fights has
been compelled to ignominious retreat by
an unconth, untutored Texan savage. And
this is hoty it came, to pass : The invading
party (meaning thereby the Amazonian host
aforesaid) entered and established its seat of
war in the smoking-car of a-' certain train.
Thus quartered in the enemy’s territory, a re
connoissance detected a non-combatant gentle
man enjoying his cigar a few seats off, uncon
scious of the hostile presence. A summons to
surrender unconditionally not being by, him
instantly heeded, a sndden sortie effected his
forcible capture, his cigar being seized and
thrown out of the window.: Flushed i with this
successful skirmish, the victorious corps again J
intrjenched itself behind its breastworks, and 1
watched the progress of events. But Hootttbe 1
smoke pf another battle arose from the distant
pipe of the wild Texan ranger whom fate had
destined to overthrow the proud usurper. To
collect all her forces and make an assault in
mass was for the Walker the work of a mo
ment ; blit, alas! instead of yielding at disere- [
tiori;tfie attacked'party engaged in open fight.
For a brief time the battle raged hotly in front, |
in flank, in rear; fortune now favoring one, I
anon the other; but at last victory perched [
'.npon the native banner; and the Texan con
quered a piping peace with dire discomfiture: I
o£. the.inyader,,wJio..was. forced to .retire-in j
disordef to another car. Thus do we sadly ‘
chronicle the disastrous result of the flrkt '

“ Our informant, with flis negro men, was
pulling, quietly along the .shore,* when the
.'.light-built craft was suddenly and without
uny,premonitory, sign, lifted, up, as' by some,
immense roller, throjying,the crew,ouf of their
seats and, completely scaring ,the life

like breakers! ; ‘ But,’says the hero of the ad
venture, ‘ I: did .not heed the danger around
me in this respect, nor the groveling fear ,pf
the men with mO, for I iould not, if life was at
: stake,: have taken my eyes - away front the'
hideous preature that, had caused all the com
motion and was making its way lazily out of
the'river into the long rushes on the bank.
Neveflbeforc hadjl anticipated such a monstro
sity,, ,nor. do I-ever wish to see another.
A creatnrc almost indescribable, though
its general ' appearance is fixed in
my mind’s,,, eye ■ too indelibly for
pleasant afterthought.. The beast, tislfor rep
ule, whatever speCies of God’s creation it
might be-classed ' under, was of a tawny
grfeenish color, growing more definite toward
the bead. The body ol the creature was seal
shaped, apparently twenty feet long, and as
thick as the carcass of the largest-sized ele
phant. Prom this trunk sprang forth the’
most remarkable feature of the phenomenon,
a long, curved, swan-like neck, large enough
apparently to have taken a man in whole,
terminated by a head and jaws simi
lar to. that of an immense boa eon
strictor, the eyes' fishy, yet possessing ferocity
enough■ in. their expression to' make a man
tremble. The baclf ofthe beast was deeply
ridged, the ridges running from the base ,of
the neck to the extreriie end of the tail, and
several inches deep; An immense, tail, shaped
something like an alligator’s, and three times
longer, so It seemed;- than the body, com
pleted the tout ensemble of this wonderful
anomaly. The creature navigated by feet, re
sembling the fore feet of an alligator, and its
progress on land was slow, but it soon disap
peared. With all this combination of the '
terrible, before me,’.saysniv friend, ‘it was
not strange that I trembled. ’ ”

Post-office' people. On the outside of the en
velope, just above tbeaddress,he writes: “As
I ljave lost money often by sending to this of

as the eiiyelojie.— Tribune.

Queen of Anthracite, before whose throne ail
her citizens pay most devout and.protitatile

some western communities' whose- growth 11 .
absorbs so much newspaper wonder, but it 1 !
, has been decidedly more substantial! 1
