regrets at the unfortunate direction into
winch the argument in this case turned the
day before. He thanked DR.. Keene for the
defence OF his own people and the state.
He said it was the demand OF the people
he represented that every Malone official
should be decapitated wherever the hand
oi the law could reach them. They de-
manded to be saved from the hands Of
those officials who had disgraced the
State. The people wanted to put
the hand OF cessation upon the abuse
OF Executive power which had al
ready characterized the acts OF Governor
Cameron. He declared that no such stain
as that OF the FraZier-Lady case should
mark the conduct of his party. Ii repre-
sentatiyes were ever justified in going to
the extreme OF zeal, surely these Nir-
ginians, sent to the Assembly by great
majority OF the people, might he excused.
These people had been greatly wronged,
and it was natural that Nlrginians should
remember and resent olitrages upon their
rights and sacred privileges. Mr.. Smith
then discussed the legal bearings OF the
question for the remainder Of his twenty
minutes.
