THE HOUSE.
Debate on the Hamburg Ri0t-speech of
Mr.. Lamar.
WASHINGTON, July 1s.--The pending
question was on the amendment offered
last Saturday by Mr.. Smalls, Of South
Carolina, In connection with the Ham
burg troubles, that no troops shall be
withdrawn from South Carolina.
In the course OF the debate Mr. Lamar,
Of Mississippi, spoke OF the Hamburg
affair as terrible and disgraceful, but he
denied Its circumstances were q legiti-
mate topic Of debate in the House.
There were one or two facts, however,
that cleaned out indisputably; one OF
these was that a body OF white men had,
without authority Of law, put TO death a
number OF black men while prisoners
not prisoners In legal sense, inasmuch
,as these white men have no right to de-
privc them OF their personal liberty.
He wished to say in his place that no
excuse or palliation could possibly be
found for that outrage and barbarism.
Applause on the Republican eide Of the
House..
The South had its lawless classes as
the North had, with this difference, that
In the South they famed out In different
localities and were confined to short
periods OF time, while In the North
whole counties were sometimes held in
terror for months at time and the
State authorities defled. In those South
ern States where disorders occurred
there were governments Of a peculiar
character and type.
They were called Republicans, but it
was q spurious republicanism, which
has no sympathy with the purpose and
feelings OF the great National Repub-
lican party. 1t was the State govern
ments which had encouraged these dis
orders and these murders by their in
efficiency, their inability, and their cow
ardice.
In reply to Mr.. Garfleld's inquiry as
to whether the Hamburg case was spo-
radio or systematic. he declared that
there was not community in the South
which had not hean th ril llpd with horror
