Il long speech denouncing Southern
Democrats for alleged brutal treatment
of colored postmasterS, He read a
number of letters which purported to

ClarkSon.
Mr.. Allen. of Mississippi, said that
the gentleman from Kansas seemed to

COCHRAN EXPLODES KELLEN'S STORY.
Mr.. Cochran, of South Carolina. said
there was just enough Of the fact in the
flaming letter whichhad been read by
the gentleman from Kansas. relative to
the Abbeyllc case to make out story.
There was town; was poStoiiice;
there was an applicant for the poStmaS-
tership and there were some hot-headed
young men. of which his son was one.
After the war a Northern man
had been appointed postmaster
and had served until Arthur'S
term when ne died, and his wife, most
eStimablc and able woman, had been ap-
pointed. Finley had filed an applica-
tion with the First Assistant Postmaster
General. in which he miSrepreSented
and DETAINED the character of the
postmistresS. There was feeling
of outrage against him. Three
young men. not for the pnrpSe
of doing Finley any harm, went 10
his house in the night, and made some
demonstration. With guilty conscience
ne had broken out at the back door and
run down to the railroad track. In
Jumping down ne broke his leg. The
Young men had sent for physician and
had paid all the expenses of the treat
mcnt. That was all there was to il.
