S. Hamilton is appearing as counsel
against Walker in his contest for Judge
Rhea s seat in Congress. A Tribune re-
porter has taken the trouble to investi-
gate the matter, and finds that the TO-
lowing statement in substance was made
by Mr.. Hamilton when he appeared in
the case as counsel: That while he was
opposed to Judge Rhea. he believes him
to have been honestly and fairly elect
ed; and that Gen. James A. Walker, has
attempted to blacken the character of
some of the citizens of Bristol whom he
knows to be men of honor and integri-
ty; and that he, therefore, volunteered
bis services, insofar as Judge Rhea is
concerned, to protect these citizens

That he had done so without any CON

refused a fee from Walker, the contes-
tant, or his agent. This latter state
ment was denied by one of the counsel
for the contestant, and the denial was
bitterly denounced as untrue by Mr..
Hamilton at the time, who said that if
the counsel for the contestant made his
denial on his own authority he was as
foul liar as Walker is politician.
Mr.. Hamilton further said that he was
willing to give his service without com
