WHO USED THE SHOTGUN ARGUMENT.
Mr.. Bayard said he had some knowledge OF
ghat the Senator (Mr. Molton) called the shot
Gun argument of Mississippi. When the time
came for reporting to the Senate the testimony
taken by tue committee viii h ecently investi-
G ted Mississippi affairs, 10 would be seen where
the shotgun rgument originated. 1t would
show where the Governor Of the State delib-
erately wHged war on unarmed white men with
bis colored militia, and Was engaged in arraSing
one race aRan't the other II there Was gath
eriug OF shOtguus, u was TO defend homes and
Q esides. He or. ia d. would not have re-
ierred to tbis kIssisaippi Investigation bad not
the SEN tor from Indiana undertaken TO give to
tie country, In advance Of the report of the
committee, the condition Of affairs which did
noi rAlst IN that state.
Mir. Mcmillan (Rep., Mimi said the testimony
taken by the hississiu.i committee would oe
Tar from showing that the Governor Of that
State undertook TO array the bl OK race AGAINST
the white race; on tue contrary, II would be
shown that 10 1870 rmed bands OF white men
prepared 10 carry the election, and the sldugh-
ter Il colortd men wOuld not only astonish the
sen'te. OUT would astonish the whole country.
de would undertake to cay that II wouu show
slaughter ~ black zen throughout the State

CARED by fraud aud Violence.
