There has been no member Of Con-
xrsss more aattersd or more highly
spoksn of than senator Lamar q MIS-
sissippi. His liberality on some SUD
iects was something remarkable e1ei'-
ing the concentrations even OF the
liberal Republican press The Demo-
cratic journals Of this city, especially
the "Every Evening" were wild in
raptures over Senator Lamar. He was
the very embodiment Of everything
shat was chivalrous, nobls, brave and
magnau,mous. Somehow We never felt
that,way about him, because we could not
see how such double dyed rebel couid
truly represent State in the United
States Senate, that had upon fair and
free vote 10000 Of Republican ma
ioritv within her borders. In fact We
could never fully understand how any
honest man could pretent to hold a scat
in the Senate under any such circum-
stances. 1t was bad enough for Sena-
4or Lamar and the members OF the
House of Representatives from Missis'
sippi to hold seats under any circum-
.tauces IN Congress, through the MUIR
ders. intimidations and violence that
vere committed in their State, but that
we're still not 80 bad as to be directly
charpsabls with being accessory to the
most brutal murders IS Senator Lamar
has been. 1t almost makes the heart
sick to think that this Senator so flat'
tered and fstsd, though not directly
guilty Of pulling the trigger and draw
inq the knife that murdered Judge
Chisholm, at least consented to his
death and advised putting him out Of
the way. 1t took long time for the
news of the Chisholm murder to reach
the public ear from the heart OF Missis
sippi, and it has only been recently
that it has transp.red that Senator La
mar was in any way accessory to the
murder Of the Judge, his daughter, SOL
and friend. The Senator in a speech
made at Scooba, Kemper county, Missis
sipui, in the contest Of 1876, made u.s.
Of the following language: "ThiS mai
CHISHOLM do not personally know, bu
am told he is one Of the most susve Q
gentlemen, winning and gentle il
b;s manners, kind and charitable
one who never turns his back on sol
rov and from whom the widow and tn
orphan never 60 away with empt
hands. 50 much the more need to b
rid of him. So muon the more harl
can he do" Such was the kind of
man according to Senator Lamar's STATE
ment. that was an enemy to Mississippi
and one whom ths Senator advised get
ting rid Of. There was no room il
Mississippi for suave gentlemen, win
ming aud gentle in their manners kin
and charitable. They wanted no mai
in Mississippi who would not turn hi
his back upon the poor and who woul
not turn the widow empty handle
away. This speech at the time it wa
made by the Senator, was much praise
by the Democratic journals Of MississiE
nj as one of the best he ever made, bu
now that it has merged out from tn
heart Of bloody Mississippi and foun
its way into the New York papers, tn
Senator denies that he ever made sue
aspeech, 4 or even heard Of such man /
Judge Chisholm until he heard of h
murder. This denial of Senator Lama
only adds to the crime of advising tn
murder of Chisholm. Indeed ma
who would not hesitate " give such &C
vice. would not hesitate to lie out of
tight place. The Senator however, III
dertakes difficult task to prove his il
noraucs Of the fact. that Judge Chishol
was the Republican candidate for Cor
press in that district against Mr.. None
who now misrepresents itin Congress
and Mr.. Lamar was in the same di
trict making speeches, he being then
candidate for Senator. Another prom
nent politician in the county catchin
his inspiration rom Lamar said in
public speech: fyou can expect
have peace and harmony in your count
you, must get rid OF this man. wi
not undertake to tell you how to get ri
Of aim; that you know as well as !, b.
you must get rid Of him." This speee
was delivered about the same time tn
Lamar delivered his, and shows th
there was a preconcerted action be
tween the two to instigate violent me
sures which would end in the ASSASSIN
alton of Judge Chisholm. Instigatt
