be convicted upon such testimony
This sort CT talk went on for ten
or fifteen minutes Butler in one in
stance charged that the Republicans
had bought Speer and that the office
of District Attorney was given to him
as the price of his new allegiance.
"Take him, said Butler You are
welcome to him."
It was only towards the last of the
spat that Senator Lamar spoke. He
rose for the purpose of explaining why
he should vote for the confirmation.
It was in pursuance of his policy oil
|epotins>ior all nominations OF the Ad-
,ministation where there was nothing
shown to prove disreputable character.
Lamar then uttered one sentence oi
comment upon Edmund's 8 criticism Of
Southern State affairs. He said that
Edmunds had evidently intended to
be as offensive as possible to the
Southern Senators, and that far as
he was concerned be had thoroughly
succeeded, but be said nothing about
severing personal relations. To this
Edmunds made no reply.

Butler RrbukeS EdmundS,

WASHINGTON, January "a -Senat
or M. C Butler, of South Csrolips,
had very lively set to with Senator
E1munds during the executive session.
When the Senate considering the
nomination of Emory Speer to be
United States District Attorney for
Georgia, Butler opposed the nomln !.
ton on the ground that Speer had
acted unfairly in the prosecution OF
the South Carolina election cases.
Senator Edmunds made very crusiy
speech, in which he dwelt upon the
modification he felt at the failure of
the trials. He described with biting
humor Speer's imprudence in croseiae g
the line and venturing upon the sacred
soil of South Carolina. He then went
on to describe the trials as farce,
and said that Speer, as the special
counsel for the Government, had been
openly lnsulted in court by Youmans,
The chief counsel for the defence.
Youmans was former law partner
Of Senator Butler, and Butler at once
sprapg to his defence. He said that
the Vermont Senat ,r had been misin
formed and misled by certain news
paper publications upon the subjeotl
He (Butler) was present durIas ths
trial and could give evidence rebuk
ing the charge.
Edmunds then said that he-Bad
written a letter to Judge Bond, who
presided at this trial, and that the
Judge had replied that the newspaper
reports of Speer's treatment in court
were substantially correct.
"Then," said Butler, 1.-THE Judgr
convicts himselfof incapacity toprop..
erly discharge the duties oil his Office. If
any such thing had occurred it would
have been the duty of the Judge to
protect the counsel" Butler continued,
saying that the proof that there was
nothing in these cases lay in the fact
that not single conviction had re-
suited.
The Vermont Senator had smiled
grimly at this and said that it must
be remembered that these trials took
place in South Carolina.
"But," said Butler, you must
also remember that the trials took
place in the United States Court,
where the power o, the Government
was represented by unusual means
fer carrying out prosecution. You
had the machinery for packing the
jury in your hands and yet not a sim
gle con iction was obtained.
- Eimuuds then sail that he had
read the te timony in those cases and
he was Of the opinion chat there
should have been convictions.
Butler replied: e" 1t is ouly your
opinion. I, too, have read the testi-

Ex-Goy. Hagood on the c. C, G. &C, ,
Railroad.

Governor Hsgood, President Of the
Carolina, Cumberland Gap and Chica-
90 Railway Company, has lately given
the two Aiken papers his views as to
the prospects of this great enterprise
and is hopeful that arrangements will
be made by which it can be- completed.
This road has been surveyed along its
entire proposed route, which extends
from Aiken, S. c.. to London, Ky a
distance of more than 400 miles in
almost an air line. In 1882 the com
pany was formed by the consolidation
of five independent railroad corpora
tions in the States Of South and North
Carolina, Tennessee. and Kentucky,
the franchises granted to each OF the
FIVE comr anies being transferred to
the consolidated company. The stock
holders of the consolidated railway
are the stockholders Of the original
companies. A majority Of the stock
ia held in South Carolina, has been
nearly all paid up, and has been ex;
pended in surveys and construction
IN this State. OF the 125 miles of
the South Carolina division of the
railway, so miles are graded. When
the consolidation was effected con.
tract was made with the Atlantic
and North w estern Construction Com.
pany, of New Jersey, for the building
and equipment of the entire line from
Aiken to Loudon, KY, the construc-
ton company to be paid in bonds OF
the railway company.
But it was stipulated by the con-
st.uction company that it should not
be compelled to commence work until
"a contract was made for the sale Of
the bonds Of the railway c'Gpany,
the construction OF the railway thus
being made to depend entirely upon
the prior negotiation OF the sale Of
it's bonds. A financial agent was ap
pointed and cent to England, where
he is now trying to negotiat, the
bonds Of the company In spite of
the depressed condition of railway
securities, he has succeeded in at ract
ing the attention Of capitalists who
are able to float the bonds OF the
road, and who will take hold Of the
enterprise as soon as there is reac
ton in railway matters. The com.
pany has determined to raise money
enough to finish the grading and to
trestle and cross tie the road from
Aiken to the mountains by securing
the subscriptions Of towns, townships,
aad counties interested in the road TO
the capital stock Of the company.
These inscriptions will be made by
a popular vote and will be collected
by ,pecial taxation. The road, when
completed, will bring Chicago ITO
miles nearer to Charleston than any
other route, and will open up one Of
the richest agricultural, mineral, and
manufacturing sections of country IN
the South.
