spoke OF the Hamburg massacre 50 an
outrageous barbarian. for which there
could be no excuse or paliatioD, =
sentiment which was warmly sp-
plauded, from the Republican side. Toe
time devoted to debate on the amend
ment was exhausted before Mr.. Lamar
tinisbe |, AMI the Republicans made All
effort to have the time extended that he
might conclude. This was objected to
by the Democratic side, when motions
were made SUCCESSFULLY TO extend the
time for debate to twenty and Thirty
minutes, and voted down on yea and
nay vote. In the meantime, more time
was consumed in twice calling the roll
than was asked for debate. Finally
twenty-five minutes additional time was
granted, and Mr.. Lamar finished his re-
marks, closing by charging that OF the
system OF local governmentins some poi

In the house the Republicans were
bent on turning the Hamburg riot to the
best account, and speeches were made
on their side by Garfield, KassoD, Hale
and Townsend, in the same bitter strain
OF the "blCody shirt" that marked the
debate ia the senate. They evidently
hoped to provoke defense Of that riot,
and misrepresented the Democratic side
in declaring that it had only deplored,
but not condemned it. The REPLIES Of
Mr.. Lamar, Of Mississippi, and Mr..
Hartridge, of Georgia, were as eloquent
as they were conclusive in that respect,
and the discussion suddenly ended in
the utter failure of the Republican side
to make any capital out Of it. The
amendment they adopted to the pend
il G resolution is meaningless one, and
best illustrates the fimsy pretepses Of
the Republican side. 1t requires simply
that troops shall remain in the States
where the President deems them most
necessary, power already conferred by
the constitution.

Mr.. Hsrtridge, of Georgia, who was
represented last Saturday as attempting
20 defend the action of General Butler
in the Hamburg massacre, spoke four or
five minute to-day, and spoke so elo-
quently and we'll that he received unan-
Imous applause from both sides of the
house. He is young man, who has
never before taken any part in any Of
the debates, and was comparatively 10
known. He spoke with great readiness
and with more than ordinary eloquence.
He said the people Of the north could
not understand the real relations Of the
southern whites with the colored peo-
pie. He said it was thoroughly wrong
to suppose that there was an antagonism
between the two classes as they existed;
that the colored people represented la
Dor, and the whites capital,
and that it was impossible to
suppose that capital wonld willing
lY antagOniZe the only labor element it
had, and so damage the material pros
perity Of the south. He said there was
not southern member on the floor who
had not experienced the same affection
and kindness of the colored race. He
spoke in most glowing terms OF his COL
Ored nurse, who had been to him O Sec
Ond mother, and to whose kindness and
tender care be looked back even to this
day with a warm gratitude which moth.
ing could efface. The speeches of Mr..
Lamar and Hartridge, and the remarks
of Ben Hill, to the effect that the coro-
ner's Jury was now examining into this
uumDug m6ssacre, anu tnat al men
connected with it should be severely
punished, appeared to have quieting
effect upon the disturbed elements, al
though KassOn, Hale, Garfield, Hoge,
OF South Carolina, and Mackey, of the
same State, attempted to throw fresh
fuel upon the flames, but their attempt
failed entirely. The Democrats even
withdrew their opposition to the amend
oh
outset. 1t means nothing one way or
the other. The house adopted the SUBJ
stitute of Hancock, OF Texas, to the eff.
feet that no troops should be withdrawn
from South Carolina unless, in the judg-
ment Of the President, it WAS deemed
necessary. This closed up the afternoon
