In a recent speech at Pontotoc
Governor Brewer stated that
Lieutenant Governor Bib o.
worked his graft on the Varda-
man faction for 500 during the
famous secret caucus" threat
ening to quit supporting Varda-
man unless he was paid 800.
The Governor further declared
that the 800 was paid to Bilbo
by Mr.. John Armstrong, of this
city, a member of Vardaman's
military staff for four years.
and who had long been an ardent
and enthusiastic supporter of
Vardaman. He declared, fur
thermore, that if anybody doubt
ed this statement they could
write to Mr.. Armstrong and
have it verified.
Since that time Mr.. Arm
strong has received several hum
dred letters from all parts of the
State, asking him whether the
charge is true or false.
In reply to this inquiry, Mr..
Armstrong has written the fol-

An esteemed contemporary, in
dorsed by Others, states the atti-
tude of Senator Davis and Con.
gresham Lamar wrongfully. The
fact is that Jefferson DAYS was, in
the last Congress preceding the
war, one of the most conservative
of our statesmen, while Col.
Lamar enthused as a secessionist.
It was during the farewell speech
of Mr.. Lamar that the serpent
incident occurred. He was badly
Kissed from the gallery, and

said "Let them hiss, Mr.. Speak.

ing even in the garden of Eden,"
and he preceded without further
interruption in his vindication of
Mississippi. 1t has become a
habit in the South to adopt the
Yankee idea of Mr.. Davis as that
of a violent and fauatical leader
in the demand for secession,
whereas he was the very opposite.
Col. Lamar, with a wisdom pro-
phetic and wonderful, seized upon
the occasion of the death of Mr..
Sumner to deliver an address in
Congress that was epoch making
and tended more to the oblitera-
ton of sectional animosity than
any other human ~utterance 1t is
upon the basis of this great trib'
ute and argument that Mr.. Lamar
obtained the character of pacif'
Gator, and obtained a hold upon
public opinion well earned and
we'll deserved, but not obiiterative
