HOT WORDS IN THE SENATE.

Mr.. Beck PrOVOkes n Sectional Dispute
Over Emory Speer's Nomination
Messrs. Edmunds and Lamar Take
Fart
Stories, says the Washington cores
pondent of the New York Times, are go
ing the rounds about ''rOw' in an exec
utive session of the Senate on Tuesday,
which some of the Senators are qualify
ing or denying. An account OF the scene,
/ as described nv one Senator who was
/ present, ia that it arose over the PROPOSE
4 tiOn to confirm the nomination of Emory
Speer as District Attorney for Georgia.
Senator Butler. of South Carolina, ex-
pressed the views of his constituents,
among whom Speer has lately APP
peared in some election cases as
special counsel tor the gov
eTnment. when he opposed his con-
firmatinn. Mr.. Lamar. Georgian by
birth, favored Speer because Georgia SEN
timent appeared to favor him, as being Il
great improvement upon the prosecutors
generally employ ed by the government in
the South, and made a speech in his be-
half. The debate was in the end disturb
ed by a suggestion from Senator Beck that
Mr.. Speer was vOted for by Republicans
in the Senate to pay him his price for de-
SertiOn of his old political associates. Mr..
rlmOny and satire, referring to his
own well-knOwn readiness to have
let the Senate offices stand unchanged
as proof that he did not always
believe in either rewards or punishments
in politics. He believed that no man
would be permitted to expose Bourbon
methods in the South as Speer had effect
lively done and be regarded otherwise than
as traitor by BOurbOns like the Ken
tucky Senator. "Rppublican Senator's"
said Mr. Edmunds, represent the Repuh-
lican sentiment when they cordially meet
men who war upon Bourbon intolerance
and prescriptions"
Southern senators have always regarded
Mr.. Edmunds as especially unfrIendly to
their section. His speech Of Tuesday is
described 10y them as being up to the
usual mark of his speeches whenever de-
bate in the Senate takes a sectional turn.
A Southern Senator to-day spoke of it as
a '-mean speech against the South" II
provoked Senator Lamar to a very impas-
stoned reply, which, barring the epithets
and personalities Of the scene between
himself and Mr. COnkling, nearly five
years ago. was quite as dramatic as that
famous collision. Mr.. Lamar spoke as
though convinced that the Yer
mont Senator was deliberately pro-
vOking sectional quarrel, and
strongly reprObated his impeach-
ment Of the partisan temper Of the south.
when many Southern Senators were about
to vote for Speer. He closSd with the re-
mark. in reply to a remark from MIR. Ed
munds that they differ widely: Yes,
sir, and | differ with you, as | believe
do with no other Senator on your side OF
the chamber" 4 Democratic Senator
said to-day that Lamars reply to Ed
munds was the most severe and scath-
ing and yet perfectly parliamentary effort
he had heard in long Senatorial expert
ence. The result Of the vote was inter
esting in the light of Mr.. Edmunds'
speech. Mr.. Speer was confirmed by a
vote of II to 10, the negative votes being
all cast hv Democrats. Brown and Col
nllitt of Gnnrria hnth Nnted for MIN.
