Mr.. Blaine. II does now.
Mr.. Voorhees,. Then 1t was one o
the four frst.class missions, England
France, Germany, Russia and th
Confederate officer received it as hi
reward for joining the Republican
party. know what my friend from
Illinois (Mr. Logan is saying to him
self He is mentally exclaiming
"Would to God that some of my com
rades who fought under the old flal
could have u great place like that
cannot be mistaken as to what is 90
ing on in the breast of that hard fight
ing Federal soldier. think even my
genial friend from Rhode Island (Mr
Buinside) has his conscience some
what quickencd If not entirely aroused
on the subject by this time,
Colonel Northup, of South Carolina
is now United States District Attor
ney he was an officer in tho Conied
crate army.
We move on again and pause next
in the Mississippi, the land of the brave
and warm. hearted, as ! know, for
have been there the land of genius
because the Senator from Mississippi
sitting behind me + Mr.. Lamer1 has
his home there. Let us see how the
Republican party has managed its
affairs in that State. Major Morrhis
was the most prominent scout of Gen
eral Stephen d. Lees command and
he is now tho United States Marshal
for the northerif district of Mississippi.
Captain G. W. Hunt was an aid to
General Hardee, and he is now the
United States Marshal of the southern
district Of Mississippi. All how the
good things come TO the regcherate
Thomas Walton---I knew him he is
in his grave, and peace to his ashes
was an aid to General Longstreet.
He was appointed United States Dis
trict Attorney; and after his death
he was succeeded by Green Chandler,
a Confederate officer who was at that
time United States mail agent, and is
now United States District Attorney
in the place of Walton, deceased.
Colonel G.. w. Henderson was q Col
onel of cavalry in General Chalmers
division. He is now receiving the re-
ward of his services as United States
Revenue Collector; and in order to
make you feel proud of your party IN
Mississippi and to finish up my work
properly it only remains for me to
state that the Republican candidate
Tor State Auditor in 1875, was Captain
Buchanan, captain of the second Mis-
souri, Cavalry at Fort Pillow. He is
said, according to all accounts, to have
fought fercly in that memorable bat
tie. Yet he received all tho votes the
Republican party had to give as well
as the prayers of his northern friends
who could not get to the polls TO vote
for him. With what devout aspira-
tion the Senator from Maine hoped for
his success, and l have no doubt he
could get up now and prove that he
would have been elected If his sup
porters had not been bull.dozed. Yes,
he was captain fighting at Fort Pill
low under the Confederate flag. The
leaders of the Republican party stand
ing here as the Representatives OF in
dignant loyalty against Confederate
Brigadiers take to their bosoms this
Confederate officer who bathed his
sword in the blood of Fort Pillow.
Take next Louisiana, that lated
region ofrlot, disorder, and stupendous
unveracity. We have known it long
as the land Of the magnolia; we know
It now as the land also OF the stalwart
liars, as disclosed within the last few
weeks in this Capitol. Let the cur
tain be raised and let us look at some
Federal officials in Louisiana. We
