Cleveland Leader Special.
G8rfleId's Speech.

Garfield made powerful speech. II
was calm and moderate, but con.
vincing. He shattered Hill's fragile
conclusions as if they had been Of thin
nest glass. While Garfield was going
over the AndersonvilIe matter Hill
rose in his seat and protested against
any further exhibition of the Ander.
sonville horrors. He thought such
things ought to be buried in oblivion.
Coming from him it was good.
Quite a little scene occurred when
Garfield was talking about the per.
jured traitors who broke their oath to
60 into rebellion. Randolph Tucker,
of Virginia, left his seat and approach.
ing Garfield asked what he meant by
perjurers. Tucker was very angry, the
blood of Southern chivafry was up.
Garfield stated that the law said q
broken oath was perjury in the die
tionary. He did not make the diction-
ary. The gentleman from Virginia
might place his own construction on it.
Davis, of Virginia, objected to Gar
fields free use of the word traitor.
Garfield quoted with great force, Gen.
eral Scott's words before the war. that
after the war was over it would require
the whole power of the Government to
restrain non-cOmbatants.
