In the course Of the debate Mr.. Lamar, Of
terrible and disgraceful; but he denied that
it's circumstances were a legitimate topic
OF debate in the House. There were
one or two facts, however, that
cleaned out as ,indisputable. n. One OF
these was, go that q body OF white
men had without authority OF law put to
death number Of black men while prison
ers: not prisoners in the legal sense, mas.
much as these white men had no right to
deprive them of their personal liberty. lie
wished to say in his place that no excuse or
palliation could possibly be found for that
outrage and barbarism. Applause on the
Republican side OF the Housed The South
had it's 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 defieL
| In these southern States where disorders oc-
Cured there were governments OF pecu-
liar character and type. They were called
| Republican; but it was a spurious repuD-
licanism, which had no sympathy with the
purposes and feelings of the great national
| Republican party. 1t was these State gov
ernments which had encouraged these dis
orders and these murders by their inefi-
cheney, their inability, and their cowardice.
In reply to Mr.. Garfeld's inquiry as to
whether the Hamburg case. was sporadic
or sympathetic, he said that there was not a
community in the South which had not
been thrilled with horror at such occur
rences. He deemed it q wonder that soci-
ETY., under the operation OF governments
which allowed such lawlesSnesS to stalk
abroad in the land, did not go to pieces.
In reply to Ma. Conyer's argument on
last Saturday he declared that the use of the
army had never produced any good effect.
In such cases the troops always got there
after the occurrence. The use Of military
power was an instrument that was inefec-
tive, cumbersome, slow, and almost useless,
and in spite of the good faith OF army Of
ficers it had been converted into mon
strous engine of political oppression and
corrupt intrigue. 1t was the duty OF Gov
ernor Chamberlain at once to adopt mea.
,sures, swift. and vigorous, to bring to JUS
tice those who shot down these prison
ers in cold blood, and il he did that hewould
receive his Namar's) support and praise. II,
instead of doing so, however, Governor
Chamberlain rushes to Washington for the
purpose of making this occurrence the
foundation for sanaticlsm and strife, he will
not stop that disorder. Arkansas was an
illustration for the last two years Of the adj
vantages Of good government under firm
and intelligent man Governor Garland).
In conclusion he declared that the occur
rence at Hamburg was u mobitic element,
sporadic but unnatural, and one that would
disappear under good government.
The debate was further continued by
Messrs. Lawson of Iowa, ,Hartridse, OF
Georgia, Hale OF Maine, and MackeY of
South Carolina. at its close AIr. Hancock,
OF Texas, moved asubstitute for Mr.. Smalis's
