had read statements Contained' in a
Washington newspaper of this morning,
Intimating certain correspondence in
connection with the sale of Black Bob
Shawnee lands, of which lie (Mr. Roes;

anbeeesa6 expense In printing and (add
tate an intelligent presentation of the
case. A letter addressed by him to the
Secretary of the _Ulterior and reciting
these fads, was also read. •
Mr. WILSON presented a memorial
from the committee appointed at a coo
vention of colored people residing in the
Chootaw and Chickasaw wintry, repro
: sendoff that a recent treaty violated their
rights as to land owned by them, .and
was in many respects outrageous. Re-
Tarred to the Committee on Indian
Affairs., r
At mai o'clock the - Georgia _bill was
taken up, the galleries being thronged
in anticipation of a speech by. Mr. Revels.
Mr. Morton, who was entitled to the
floor, yielded it in favor of the Senator
from Mississippi. •
ktr: REVELS then commenced his
remarks, which, during tlisir enlist de
livery, were listened to with the Closed
attention. He said t
Mr. President, I rise at this particular
Juncture in the discussion of the Georgia
bill with feelings width perhaps never
before entered into tho experience. of soy
member or this body, I rise, too, with
misgivings as to the propriety of lilting
my voice w at this early period after my
admission in - the Senate. Perhaps it
were wiser for me, Bo inexperienced in
the details of Senatorial duty, to remain
a passive listener in the progress or this
debate. But when I remember that my
term is short, and that the issues
with which this bill • is fraught
are momentous in their present
and future influenee upon the well being
of my race, I would seem indifferent to
the importance of the hour and recreant
to the high trust imposed upon me, if I
neglected to lend my voice in behalf of
the loyal people of the elnitti:' I there
fore waive ell thoughts as to the propri
ety - of entering into this discussion,
breaking through a generally understood
etiquette of this body. When questions
arise Which bear upon the safety and
- protection of loyal white and col
ored people of those States lately
In rebellion, I cannot allow any
thought as to mere . prepriety
'inter into ani - conalderation 'OT day.
The responsibilities of being the exponent
of such ',a constituency as 1 have the
honor to represent, are fully appreciated
by MO: I have about mo dally the
keenest sense of this weight, and that
I feeling prompts me now to lift my voice
for the ant Umo in this council chamber
of the Nation. And air, I stand to
day on thin 'tor to appeal for
protection from the strong arm of
the government for her loyal chil
dren, irrespective of color or race,
who are citizens of the Southern States,
and particularly of the greet State of
Georgia. lam well aware, air, that, the
ides is abroad that an antagonism ends
between the whites and btu's; that that
race which the notion raised from the
degradation of slavery and endowed
with full and =qualified rights and
privileges of citizenship, are intent upon
power at whatever price it can be gained.
It has been the well considered purpose
and aim of a class not °radioed to the,
South, to spread this charge over
the land, and their efforts are as vigor
ous to day to educate the people of
this nation into that belief as they were
at the dose of the war. It was not un
common to find this same class, even
during the rebellion, prognosticating a
servile War. It may have been that the
wish was tither to the thought. And,
air, as the -recognized representative of
my down...trodden people, I deny the
charge and hurl It back into the teeth of
those who make it, and who, I believe,
have not a tens and conscientious desire
to further the Interests of the' whole
South. Certainly any one possessing
a knowledge of the colored population of
my own many other State, need not be
reminded of the noble conduct of that
people under the most trying Ciretlin-
I stances in the history of the late war.
I When they ware beyond the protection of
the 'Federal force., while the Confeder-
I ate army pressed into its ranks every
white male capable of bearing arms,
I mothers, wives, daughters and eiders of
the Southern soldiers were left defence
and in the power of the blacks, upon
whom the chains of slavery were still
Hutted, and to bind those chains
edger was the real issue for which
so much life and property was sacrificed.
And now, sir, I ask how did that race
act? Did they, in those days of Corded..
eras weakness and impotence, evince
the malignity of which we have heard so
much? Granting for the sake of the ar.
gement that they were ignorant and be
sotted, which I do not believe, yet with
all their antitrust ignorance and credu
lity they, in their way, understood as
fully ma you or I, the awful Im

ler bondage. They longed, too, as their
fathers did before thorn, for the advent
of that epoch over which was shed the
hallowed light of Inspiration itself. They
desired, too, with their fathers, to wel
come the feet of strangers shod with
peaceful preparation of good news.
Weary years of bondage had told their
tale of sorrow. •To the Court of
Heaven, in the Councils of the
great Father of aff, they knew the
adjudication or their case, albeit
delayed for year', in which patient suf
fering had nearly exhausted itself, would
in the end bring them the boon for which
they sighed,God's most blessed gift to his
creatures, the inestimable boon of Lib.
arty! They welted, and they wafted
patiently. In the absence of their mes
ters they protected the virtue and chas
tity of defenceless women. Think, sir,
few a moment what the rendition of title
land would be to day if theaters popula
tion had risen in servile Insurrection
against those who, month by month,
were fighting to perpetuate that institu
tion which brought them all the evils of
which they eomplained! Where would
have been the security for property, fe
male chastity and childhood 'a innocence?
The bloody counterpart of such a histo•
ry of cruelty and wrongs would have
been parallelled only In those chapters
of Jewish history by Tosephus, or the
still later atrocities of that reign of ter.'
ror which sent the unfortnesto Louis '
Sixteenth and Merle Antoinette to the
scaffold. Nay, deeds in that drama of
cold blooded butchery would have out.

Mr. }Wild.. then reviewed the history'
of affairs In Georgia, stating that at the
election In November, 1887, for members
to the State Convention, 30,000 white and
80.000 colored votes were polled and a
number of col red delegates elected. A
Constitution as framed sod ratified,
and a Leal/el& me elected under It was
convened. After all this, supposing they
had passed beyond Congressional con
trol, the rebel element In the Legislature
(smarted itself, and many of those whose
liabilities had been removed by the Suite
Convention, which wee composed of a
number of colored members, joined In
the declaration made by that Leg
islature that a man leaving mote
than an eighth African blood in
his veins was Ineligible to ollice.
These very men. to whom the Republi
can
arty
extended all the rights and
privileges of citizenship, of which_they
had deprived themselves, denied politl
cal equality to a large majority of their
fellow citizens, and twenty-eight mem
bers were expelled. On December
1869, an .act of Congress was passed
requiring the resasem bling of the persons
declared elected by the military com
mander, the restoration of the expelled
members and the rejection of others wbo
were diem:Willed. All the conditions
had now been compiled with, and having
ratified the 14th sod 15th amendments,
Georgia presented herself for recognition.
The Illegham amendment proposed to
legalize the organization of 1868, and
would legalize the act of the Legislature
in appointing a Judge who decided in
favor of ohms distinction in the Stale.
As a means of future protection for loyal
Owergione he desired their terms should
commence from the date of the present
legislation. Ile asked this •in the name
of 100,000 white and colored Georgians,
and reminded the Senate that he who
permitted opposition shared In the
crime.
tipon • the conclusion of his remarks
Mr. Revels receives' the congratulations
of many Republican Senators and others,
and then the immense andieece In the
galleries, which included many persons
of color, slowly dispersed.
Mr. MORTON, In complimenting Mr.
Revels on his speech, expressed the
opinion that in the exchange by which
that gentleman occupied the place of
Jeff. Davis, the Senate had lost nothing
In intelligence, while It bad gained much
In patriotism and loyalty. lie proceeded
to argue the - -government of Georgia
was provisional, and would so continue
until actually represented. in Congress;
that the inference from the opposite
' theory was that trio State had been
denied representation when • she was
entitled to It, and had been
treated badly by Congress. He
claimed that in the reeonstruction login.
laden Congress simply exercised -the
power of guaranteeing a Republican form
of Government, but had never assumed
to give a particular construction to the
constitution of a State, as did the Bing
ham amendment, In declaring the length
of the terms of the present State calkers.
He also argued that the substantial
reason for the report of the • Judiciary
tximmittee in 1E69, against the admission
thf as Senator from Georgia, was
thee organization of the legislature
was void from the beginning.
Mr. THURMAN inquired whether in
that event the action of the Legislature
In ratifying the XlVth Amendment
would hold good
Mr. MORTON replied he concurred ni
the opinions set forth In a former report
or the Judiciary Committee, that the
action was not valid because the defects
in organization went to a violation of the
fundamental law that created that
body. He went on to review the
whole question and to controvert peel
sitiona assumed by Mr. Thurman, parti
cularly with reference to the validity of
the composition of the Georgia - Le
gislature. He quoted froth the laws
of the State to show that pro
vision was expressly made for the
admission of minority candidates for
the Legislature, when the person receiv
ing the highest number of votes was
notoriously ineligible. _ In regard to
tenure of office. be showed it was not In
the contemplation of the laws that thews
terms should begin until the State took
her plats In the Union: that Bullock did
not become Governor till then, and the'
whole State government was now re
garded as merely provisional. The pro
posed Bingham amendment was to-day
a source of exultation to the extreme or
Southern wing of the DemOcratio party,
and he opposed it as a violation ofjustice
and of human rights.
MriIIOWARD took the floor, but yield.

Since we met tb celebrate oar last an

sive round of seasons has rolled by. An
other cycle of joys and sorrows. of trials
and conquests is numbered -with the
things that are past, and we are one
year nearer receiving our final reward.
Another chain of opportunities for show
ing our love to .! Him that first loved us"
has gone never to return.. For the aid
which we have received, and the, good
which we have been enabled to wont
pliah, let us give the praise and the glory
to God, the fountain of all good and all •
mellitus! life. Our work has been very
similar to that of previous* peen. Our
city la divided line twenty four districts;
each of these ate sub divided until we
have ore hundred sub.divisions, visited
monthly, during the last year by about
ninety visitors, wbo go f rom house
to house with the printed truth.
But our • field of labor • has in
cluded more than oar own . city,
teeming as. it le, with imniortal souls
and its bookstores and news depots
sending out poisonous literature, which
tends to lead many of those souls to
everlasting death. Believing "the field
as the world,!' and our . neighbors all
these whom we can influence for good,
we have scattered Gospel seed in the far
West and on those dreary plains where
all printed matter 'meagerly sought after.
Mission to other needy Sabbath Schools
have also shared our supply, and as
'God path chceen the week things of
this world to confound the mighty," our
trust Is in Him for the increase. Daring
the year we have distributed 57,000
trans In the Eoglisli language, 20,600
tracts in the German language and a few
Welsh and German tracts; also 30,076
copies of the American Nissen.
gm and 13,150 of, the same paper
In German. Athough the circulation ,
of printed truth, accompanied with.
I
words of instruction and encouragement
has been the main feature of our work,
It has not stopped here. Piny:nine
children have been brought into Sabbath
Schools; a number of families. found
destitute of the Bible have been supplied
through the Ladles' Bible Society; many'
sick and destitute of the comforts of life I
have been sought out and. their need
relieved through the Ladies' Relief
Association; and some who were soon to •
tread the dark valley of the shadow of
death, have been cheered and comforted
by the presence of our faithful visitors.
Thus our labor has been varied to milt
the wants and conditions, and to touch
the haute of as many as possible. Al
' though our effort to scatter the seed has
been weak and Imperfect, Ter eternity
alone can reveal the fruits of our labors.
In ctosingour report we appeal to all the
friends of Christianity for rid in carrying
on our work. • We need aid pecuniarily
to assist us in bearing our expenses.
Who will share with us the talents which
God has bounteously placed at their
disposal? We greatly need the personal

commands, and promises of the - Savior
leads as to believe that faithfully doing
the work as His work, the Holy Spirit
will give power to it and many shall be
led to repent and acknowledge Christ as
their Savior. For this we earnestly
desire the prayers and co-operation of
all. Christiana to this community. En
°enraged by what we have been able to
do during the past, we would go on with
renewed seal and courage through the
coming year, trusting only for success
by the blessings of God In Christ, our
Redeemer. R. H.
