In the Senate yesterday as stated in the
GAZETTE, the resolution offered BY Mr.
Chandler calling on the Attorney. General
for the report of the United States marshal
for the northern district of Mississippi con
corning the maltrestment of Henry J. FAM
at Aberdeen, Miss, was taken up for con-
eideration.
Mr.. Walthall addressed the Senate. He
said that 1t could not be possibly pretended
that Congress had any jurisdiction of the
subject From what he had heard OF that
affair he felt warranted in saying that it was
simply the wanton conduct OF few persons,
disspproved of By the community in which
1t occurred.
Mr.. Ingalls, eaid II say to the Senator
shat If FAM had besn citizen of the State
OF Kansas, and II 1t should appear that the
authorities of Mississippi would not avsnge
that wrong and If it should appear that
the government and authorities of the
United States were powerless to prevent
such wrong, would guarantee to him that
the oitIz ns of the State of Kansas would
take lt into their hands to resent 1t, and to
exact rsparation."
