Speech Of Senator Blair.


Senator Blair, replying to Senator
Morton, is reported as follows in the
telegraphic summary ofthe 10th:
Mr.. Blair replied that the Senator
from Indiana (Morton) fully repre-
sented the Administration in the bold,
outspoken and contemptuous manner
in which he had spoken of the repre-
sentatives Of the Government. Last
summer it was rumored that the Sena-
tor had been appointed to high mis-
sion, and that after accepting the office,
he had changed his mind about it, in
consequence ofthe Democratic majority
at the election in his State, but avOw-
eddy to prevent a Democrat from com.
ing here in his place to represent his
State.
Mr.. Morton, interruptins: "ro mis-
Mr.. Blair repeating with emphasis)
to represent her. The State of Indiana
having elected a Democratic Legislature
would have the right to be represented
by Democrat whenever the Senator's
(Mr. MortOn) term had ceased. Had
that gentleman gone abroad he would
have learned that when the popular
will condemned any man or measure the
ministry at once laid down their arms,
but the Senator (MOrton) would make
that the very reason for holding on to
his Office. ...,
Mr.. Blair then proceeded to argue
that in forcing negro suffrage upon the
country through the exertiOns Of parti-
san majorities in State Legislatures, the
Republican party had not only stifled
the popular sentiment which was over
whelmingly averse to the proposition,
but directly repudiated their Presiden-
tial platform, which asserted the control
of the suffrage to be entirely within the
States.
The Fifteenth Amendment was voted
for in Congress by Senators and Repre-
sentatives from the States of Missouri,
Kansas, Michigan, New York and
Ohio, Notwithstanding the rejection of
the principle by the people Of these
States by immense majorities at the
elections just preceding. Hethen conn
mented upon the gradual extension Of
the military authority, the employ
ment of the bayonet at the polls in the
North as we'll as in the South. The
plea for it in every case being patry
necessity. He took occasion to explain
that that portion Of the famous Broad
head letter to the effect that the ar
my should be made to undo these
usurpatiOns, was intended to mean that
that object would be accomplished by
recalling the army. The inevitable
consequence would be the collapse and
dispersion of the carpet-baggers.
In answer to Mr.. Morton he said he
regarded the ratification of the Fifteenth
Amendment as complete, and that it
was part of the fundamental law, but
he never did and never would believe
the Reconstruction acts constitutional.
II in any place of power and called
upon to execute those acts he would fol-
low his convictions of duty no matter
what the consequences might be.

Lsngstreet, Carter and Ray.
Noticing q recent dinner given to GER
tain prominent Radicals Of our State,
the editor Of the Vicksburg Herald
uses the following forcible language
concerning some Of those in attend
ance:
Longstreet, % our readers all know,
was q Confederate soldier, and better
or more gallant one never drew q
sword-Carter commanded COnfeder-
ate regiment-John Ray, was once re-
garded as gentleman, and was widely
known and highly esteemed. That
these three men should have become
renegades-that they should have
proved false to the land which gave
them birth--that they should have
allied themselves with the bitterest
enemies of our people, caused regret
wherever they were known. But in
the lowest deep, there is still a lower
depth of shame and degradation, and
into that depth of infamy Longstreet,
Carter and Ray have voluntarily
plunged! There let them remain as a
warning to the future! AS these men
have been honored in the past, so let
them be marked in the future! Let all
decent men avoid, and give them the
cold shoulder! Let no gentleman speak
to either of them, and as they have
chosen to set an example of social
equality, by mingling socially with the
negroes, in future their only associates
should be of that class!
Having degraded himself by becom-
ing renegade, Radical, and the as
sociate of negroes, John Ray, we sup
pose, thought that he could not get
lower, and SO he still further disgraced
himself by the following eulOgy of that
abandoned wretch, H. .WarmOth, the
Governor Of the once prOund State of
Louisiana. Ifthere is one solitary crime
in the long calendar of Newgate, which
a man utterly destitute of courage, and
a stranger to truth, may commit, we
may be sure that that particular crime
has been committed by Warmoth. An
epicure and cOnniseur in villany, he
revels in corruption, delights in bribery,
and realizes his Heaven on earth, in
peculatiOn and plumber. So accomplish
ed was he in the arts of falsehOOd and
cowardice, that even the stolid stupidity
Of General Grant, revOlted, and in a
moment of sober indignation, he tore
the shoulder straps from the miserable
caitiff, and drove him from his presence.
This H. c. Warmoth, thus disgraced by
his superior officer, is now the Govern
or of Louisiana, and it is of him, and
his administration, that John Ray, in
his negro-dinner-speech, thus speaks:
"Generations to come will look back
at the administration of Gov. War;
moth, as the proudest epoch of the his
tory of Louisiana.
This praise would be fulsOme, when
applied to the noblest Governor, Louis
lana ever had; but when applied to
WarmOth, and has reign of bribery,
population and plumber, it can only ex-
cite nausea.

AL~osr DESTRUCTION. = Our town
narrowly escaped dreadful confrSra>
ton last Sunday morning. About two
clock the buildings situated immodi 4tcly
in the rear and west Of The business,
houses mich Inc the west side of th,.
public square, from some uDknC wn
cause, caught Grc and were totally con
sumed. They were occupied by two
families-Esquire J. s Fergusons and
Sir. Flateh ar's-the latter having NOV,
in oniy a lew days prior to the Ere Tie
buildings, or rather the main house, was
the first ever erected in the corporation
Of Bolivar, and is said to have shelt2red
the first white woman that ever slept In
this goodly town. The buildings we're
owned by a. NJ S,atler, and as there
WAS no insurance, his loss, We are sorry
to cay, amounts to at least one thousand
dollars. Mr.. FergusoAs loss IN provis>
ions and kitchen utensils is about three
hundred dollars; while that of Mr.
| Fletcher is not quite so much. Both
families saved all Of their furniture cloth
| lug, bedding, etc Had the wind been
blowing from the west or northwest in<
stead of from the southeast, there is no
doubt but what the huge frame structure
known as the Harrington House, and
now occupied by w. c. KossOn as a sa>
loon and bowling alley, would have
caught on fire from the burning kitchen,
in which the fire originated, and thus
caused the total destruction of at least
one half or two~thirds of the business
portion Of Bolivar, but kind Providence
again spared US, and every heart should
feel the deepest thanks for so much mar
cy in such a trying time. Many time
and oft have we warned our people of
their complete helplessness In the case of
fire, and still We are as unmoved as dumb
animals, and when a FIRE does occur all
that can be done is to save the plundCr
and let the building 90. We give it as
our honest conviction that ten men with
four or five stout hooks could have
pulled the kitchen to pieces and saved
the other building. But no hooks OF
ladders or buckets were at hand. How
lung is this sad and deplOrable state o
) affairs TO continue? Cannot something
be done to afford even slight protection
Let our people think about this, for it j
D a serious matter, indeed, and more thar
E worth eli the Tina, attention and sxpeAs
that cen Be gives it. Let US organize
company, procure hooks, axes, ladders
buckets, ropes etc, and be in som
= condition prepared to battle with tn
e flames, for the 6re-fend is restles
81 devil, and is liable to swoop down on u
D at any lime. We cam OF escape by mer
j accident always. VIII our peapls tax

morning Is worth mentioning. An in

to assist at the fire, made his haul and
started for home, but when overtaken
somewhere near John Umhaw's saloon,
his plumber was found to consist Of only
an armful Of bricks, and consequently hs
was released after having been compelled
