Senator Lamar said, from indispositlon he
was unable to reply to the singular remarks
tust submitted. They contained false ideas
easily exposed, which he would, if he deemed
it necessary, take future occasion to expose.
Senator Dawes denied the statement OF La
mar that he knew the people OF the North
better than Senator's from Massachusetts,.
The Senator from Mississippi had at one time,
Representatives that the more the people OF
the North knew the southern people, the better
they would like them. People from Massa.
chusetts had located in Mississippi, had
had taken their capital and energy
and enterprise and convictions. They had
gone to Mississippi conhding in what the Sen.
ator told them. The reason the Senator was
mistaken when he told the Senate the people Of
the North would listen to him, was because
they found no works In Mississippi meet for
the North. Day before yesterday there had
passed through this city on the way to the
North, where he could enjoy his own oonvic.
tions, a venerable, gray haired man who, four.
teen years ago, had brought his capital and
his energy to build up home
and business in Mississippi. He
had been prosecuted, his factory burned and
his workmen murdered. At last he had been
obliged to give in and return to Massachusetts,.
The people of the latter State would listen to
that man before they would listen to the Sen
ator from Mississippi to repeat his platitudes
here about the North and South.
Senator George would like to know the
name of the gentleman. He had never heard
of such an instance in Mississippi. BE had
never heard of any body of operators having
been murdered or his factories burned.
Senator Dawes-The gentleman has Just

North, living IN Mississippi. from whence
every breeze comes laden
George, interrupting-I ask the Senator re-
spectfully to answer my question. under
take to say the occurrences which he has re-
cited are untrue.
Senator Dawes rejoined the people of the
North would believe every word the gentle
man said. It was only the way Of writing
this thing to call for names; he didn't intend
to furnish an opportunity Tor further perse-
cution of this man. The people of the North
were no longer to be deceived by fair words
and false pretenses. The experience OF those
who come back from Mississippi, was Of
more force than all the rhetoric and all the sl-
oquenee that had rething behind 1t but fair
words
Senator Hale, apologizipg for addressing the
Senate, said he felt compelled to do so on ae-
count of remarks OF his upon
carpet baggers, which had hsen quoted by
Lamar. lie still agreed there had been evils,
but the Democrats of the South had taken a
wrong method of relieving themselves of
those evils. They had endeavored to do so
by fraud and assassination instead of by
patience. Many Democrats had in private
conversation stated they were tired of the
Democratic>methods,s ,sbut those utterances had
never gone any farther. The Senator
from Virginia, Malone, had alone dared
put his convictions into action and he, Hale,
had no apology to make for supporting him
In his position.
Senator George, recurring to the statement
made by Dawes as to the gentleman returning
from Mississippi to Massachusetts on account
of the persecution he met in the former State,
said he undertook to say, though the Senator
form Massachusetts might have met the in
dividual referred to, and might have received
the information, the whole thing was myth.
He had never heard of factory
in Mississippi having been burned, and as
there were but two or three in the State, he
would probably have heard of 1t. There was
not particle of truth in the recital. 1t wasn't
fair for he'gentleman from Massachusetts, to
refuse to give the name OF the person alluded
to on the ground 1t wonld expose him to per-
secution. II the people of Mississippi were
such persons as would burn mans factory
and murder his hands, certainty they didn't need
the stimulus of disclosure of his name to
further trespass on hisrights. !He then proceed
ed to reply at some length to some remarks
by Hale as TO the Mississippi plan, asserting
Of the many murders committed In the state
(MIississippD and attributed by the Republican
party to political causes, were in fact attribu-
ted to other reasons. He warned the Northern
people against placing Scredence in the ystories
interrupted at various times by
Hoar, Dawes and Mcmillan, and concluded
his speech with some remarks as to the debt
of Mississippi.
Senator Dawes said he had been mistaken in
stating factory had been burned. 1t had
been gin house.
Senator George stated he had had a gin
house burned and had this morning received a
letter stating several of his hands had been

The discussion was continued at some
length between Dawes and VOORHEES,, Dawes
and George--between whom there were some
hot and bitter passages-Hill, Logan, Butler,
Call, Maxey, Beck and Burnside.
Senator VOORHEES, then took the floor and
sent to the clerks desk and read the extract
from the Epening Telegraph, a Philadelphia
Republican paper, which alluded to Malone
as ''renegade Democrat" and charging his
acting with the Republicans was in conse-
quence of adisgraceful bargain.
Senator Hoar objected to its being read, and
VOORHEES, stated he would endorse it and make
it his speech.
Senator Hoar then raised the point of order
against reading of the article, which was over
ruled by the President pro tenn. ingalls,. Sub.
sequently VOORHEES,, at Hoar's private sugges-
tion, disclaimed any endorsement of
anv expressions in the article which
might be construed in the way of making
personal quarrel with either OF the gentle
men alluded in it, Malone and the Vice Presi.
