SENATOR GEORGE SPEAKS FOR MISSISSIPPI
Mr.. GEORGE said he would like to know the
lame of the gentleman. He had never heard
# such instance in Mississippi. He had
lever heard of anybody's operatives having
'een murdered or his factories burned.
Mr.. DAwEs-The gentleman has just attain.

living in Mississippi, whence every breeze n
ONES laden
Mr.. GEORGE Gnterruptng)-I ask the Sem n
tor respectfully to answer my question. | ~
to say that the occurrences which n
e has stated are untrue. n
Mr.. DAWES rejoined that the people of the Z
Jorth would believe every word the gentle
nen said. 1t the only way of meeting -
his thing to call for names. He did not in
end to furnish opportunity for the further 81
ersecution of this man. The people of the II
Iorth were no longer to be deceived by fair IS
lords and false pretenses. The experience n
those who came back from Mississippi, was
more force than all the rhetoric and all the
loquence, that had nothing behind but fair
-ords.
Mn. GEORGE. recurring to the stateme mt An
ade by Mr.. Dawes, as to gentleman re- a,
lrning from Mississippi to Massachusetts on Al
ccount of persecution he met in the former G
tate, said he undertook to say + GGiGTS the -
orator from massachusetts might have met -
he individual referred to and might have re- .
;eived the information, that the whole thing
vas a myth. He had never heard of factory
n Mississippi having been burned. and as
here were but two or three in the State he
would probably have heard of it.
THERE WAS NOT PARTICLE OF TRUTH
n the recital. 1t was not fair for the gentle :
nan from Massachusetts to refuse to give the "
lame OF the person alluded TO on the RFOuuu
hat it would expose him to persecution. II 4
he people of Mississippi were such persons as
would burn a mans factory and murder his
lands certainly they did not need the stlmu-
us of the disclosure of his name to further
respass on his rights. He then proceeded to T
.eply at some length to some remarks made
~ Mr.. Hale as to the Mississippi plan as
erting that many of the murders committed !
n the State of Mississippi and attributed by
he Republican party to political causes were
n fact attributable to other reasons. lie

Mississippi. X
He was interrupted at various times by
Messrs. Hoar Dawes aud Mcmillan, and con-
;luded his speech with some remarks as to
he debt of Mississippi. P
Mr. DAWES said he had been mistaken in
stating the factory had been burned 1t had X

etter stating that several of his hands had
been drowned, and yet he had never been II

Mr.. DAWES said the country had been
reated to an exhibition of sublime ignorance

he Senator from Mississippi Mr.. George.) +
lie was snlisting in THE lost cause again N
when he was attempting to put down the free K
exercise of mans right as citizen, and the Y
rec utterance of his convictions.
After some sharp passages between Messrs
Dawes and Voorhees,, as to what the latter r
erns lack of courtesy, Mr.. George again X
ook the floor and inquired whether he had @
'eceived his information as to outrages upon A
Massachusetts man from the man himself y
IT at second hand. y
Nh. DAWES declined to answer, and, upon c,
Or. Georges repeating his question, said the
senator had no right to ask He asserted the c
ruth of what he had said, and the Senator a
