LATIIBH. Borne n Slave, Mo I'.iimIv Oorcniiie Itnce Prrinilcp. Trom the Philadelphia Press On one of his latest visits to New York Mr. Bruce told e)f nn expeilenco which he had just after he was elected Senator fiom Mississippi, and It was an experience which illustrates the tint and good sense which alwnvs charac terised him, and which explained much of the success and rcs'iect whlih he gained by his public life In Washington. It was announced that the Senator would go to Washington, from Jus Mississippi home by one e)f the Mis sissippi stenmboats, nt least as far as St. Louis, on his wav. The captain, a man of the name of Latheis, was a tjplial Mississippi steamboat captain, and he was leported to have said that he would show the black Senator when he got aboard of his boat that he would have to keep his plate on that beiat, and if he put on any airs because he happened to be a si nntor, the captain would teach his manner' As soon as Bruce boaided the steam boat he soucht the caotain, anel he s lid to him, ' Captain Lathers, I am going to Washington, and a part of the way as passenger on your steamboat. Mv name s Buice and poslbly ou may have heard of me What I wanted to say Is that I know perfectly well what the feeling of many people who are travellers tegardlng pet sons of mv color Is They cannot help it, and I cannot help it, nnd I am going to give them no occasion for any nnnoyance while I am n passenger on your boat. I simply ask you that vou see to it that I am made as comfortable as possible, and I assure eu that jou will have no reason fur complaint " The bluff Captain stepped back a pace ot two, looked Biuce ovet, and then held nut his hand and said, with great emphasis, "Bv , jou shall sit at my table ou shall sit on my right hand on the entire ttlp, and if any man objects, he will have to fight me A man who can talk as jou have, and who is as fair as vou are, is a sight betetr than some of the white Sena tors I have can led on this bo it," nnd on that entire trip of some thteo das the Captain made Bruce his guest. The same quality seived Bruce ad mirably In the Senate, and It was one of the most Impusslve of Washington sights to see the mulatto Senator and his colleague, the ailstoiratlc Lamai, walking daily together up the avenue to the capltol Lamar the scholar, the orateir, tho line tjpc of Southern chlv alty and cultivation, had the highest respect for Biueo and preferted his companionship in the dally walks to and ftom the tnplted to that of any other senator Afteiwnrd. when Lniniu became Secietnt of the Intel lor, Btuce went to see him and said that he had pi itemed a good many appointments In the Intel lor Depattmenl. In fact, a good many more than his stint e, and he bad come te see his fotmer col league so that he might take counsel with him In respect te such action In the way of removals as Lamar might have In mind Theieupon, Lnmnr said to him.
