On Friday night of last week five unoc
cupied houses on the plantation of R. J,
Bevan, of Madison county, wore burned.
The fire is supposed to hate been of in
cendiary origin, as none of the buildings

them, a residence, was insured for about
$450, but tbe company giving the pol.cy
having withdrawn from the State had or
dered the surrender of the policy. Mr.
Bevan still holds the policy and It is be

William Paiks, a colored man of Jasper
county, about 33 years ot age now, had

white began going away some eight years
ago, and now be baa only a few white
spots near tbe eye, but his moustache,
beard and hair turned white on the same
side as his skin turned back black, while
tbe other side has no white hairs at all.
Ills age certainly waa not the cause of bis
hair turning white, which is a* remarka
ble as his sklh turning white.
At Jacksonville a week or so ago a

Wheeler, employed as deck band on the

thought tbat he bad gone ashore again.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. MARCH 7,1686.
MR. NORWOOD'S SPEECH.
A MODEL SPECIMEN OK SATIRE
IN THE CAPITAL.
Full Report of the Dressing Down Ad
ministered to an lowa Bloody Shirt
Hypucrlte—How Our Representative
Made Henderson Squirm.
Washington, March 3.—The committee of
the whole House on the state of the Union re
sumed its session, having under consideration
the pension appropriation bill.
Mr Norwood—Mr. Chairman, the valuable
time of Ibis House has been wasted for four
days iu tbe consideration of a bill to which I
presume not one member has any objection.
But this arrest of the public business has oc
curred in consequence of an assault which
was made without provocation ou the South
and on the Commissioner of Pensions hy tbe
gentleman from lowa (Mr. Henderson), Be
ing from that section, I desire to submit a few
remarks in reply to that gentleman. His
speech on that oceasion, if successful in no
other respect, was successful in one, so far as
lam concerned, for I never before realized
any truth in the cynic’s witticism. “Beware
of a Jicoichman when ho smiles.” The gentle
man must have been exceedingly eager to de
liver himself of that piece of declamation,
which is as familiar to this House aud this
country, wnere it has been delivered a thous
and times, as “The boy stood on the burning
deck'’ or “Mary had a little lamb.” [Laugh
ter.] But I do not mean to discredit the style
of the gentleman’s declamation, for I say here
and uow, as an acknowledgment in the pres
ent'* of this House, that his declamation of
that aged piece of classic fustian waa one of
the finest physical effort* I ever saw or heard.
[Laughter]
But 1 say the gentleman was exceedingly
eager to declaim that piece of antiquity on
that occasiou, when we consider the circum
stances and the moment of time which he
seized upon to enforce our attention. The
House was considering the general invalid
pension bill. Democrats and Republicans,
ex-Fcderal and ex-Confederate soiuiers were
moving abreast in solid column, without a
single straggler, to do an act of mercy aud of
justice to tile survivors of the Union army and
to the widows andorphans, when the geutle
man from lowa, stepping forward arrested
the column, and smiling upon the Confeder
ates in that line as gently as Brutus smiled
u usn Caesar in the capitol on “the idee of
March” when he invited him to be down and
take a rest at the base of Pompey’s siatne.
eewmeausti to address those < on federates in
aNrgit the fellow in* delicate, pMstfoMse
“t now approach this subject with great
hesitation and delleacy. The weak spot in
my nature is, I have not got a hating heart. 1
can knock a fellow down when I am mad and
the next minute pick him np and help him
and be his friend. The tendency of my mind
is for fraternity. Therefore 1 beg to say, you
have no right to be here. You got here by
alu thug ballot-boxes and by killing negroes
with shniguns. [Laughter.] Do not misin
terpret my motives or sentiments. Tbe tend
ency of my mind is to fraternity. You gave
an almost, solid vote three weeks ago against
the bill to give a pension of sl2 to Union
s ldlcra’ widows. There are 106 of you and
650f you voted against that bill—almost a solid
vote from tbe South. Let uo gentleman who
was in the Confederate ranks against mo (I
speak not of the Uniou, but against me), mis
interpret my fee ings. I approach thesubject
with hesitation and with defies*/. You are a
band of criminals. [Laughter.J
“Tnere is hardly a constitution of the Uni
ted Slates to be found in tbe Southern States,
Mr. Ones. I feel in the kindest and sino rest
spirit imaginable, and just now I am feeling
my own oats. [Laughter ] You criminals
boast that you will control this government
In spite of the constitution, and, feeling in the
kindest spirit imaginable, I charge you with
as great crimes under the forms of law as
when Miinter was fired on. [Laughter.] You
preiend that you voted against sl2 a month
because vou thought $8 enough. 1 wish I
could feel that to Ob true; but I do not, be
cause you smoke $24 worth of cigars a month.
[Laughter.] By your almost solid vote you
unfurled the bloody shirt in my face, not
withstanding I fought for both sides during
the war.” [Laughter.!
Mr. Henderson, of lowa—Will the gentle
man kindly allow me a word? Does he intend
to have that go to bis constituents as the
speech made by me?
Mr. Norwood—l intend this, as the sub
stance of what you said as reported in the
Record, to go to my constituents.
Mr. Henderson, of lowa—lf you intend to
quote that as an original speech made by me,
there is not a word of truth in it.
The Chairman—does the gentleman from
Georgia (Mr. Norwood) yield to tbe gentle
man from Iowa?
Mr. Norwood—l cannot yield further.
“But gentlemen, to turn up: As I am at
this moment speaking with unusual delicacy
for me, as 1 would no' have you misinterpret
my feelings: as the tendency of my mind is to
fraternity; as 1 just now feel in the kindest
and sincerest spirit imaginable, as you can see
by my soft and persuasive language and
by my smile, ana as I have not got a
hating heart, I declare untoyouthatnoi witb
siandiug you waved the bloody shirt in my
face; notwithstanding you boast you will
rule this government outside of the constitu
tion; noiwithsiauding 1 don’t believe your
reason for opposing the increase of widows'
pensions; notwithstanding you have no right
to be hero, and commit great crimes to get
here; notwithstanding you stuff ballot-boxes
ana kill negroes and don’t read the constitu
tion, still 1 declare unto you Confederates
that I respect you, and ever shall respect you,
and I would rather dance un Irish jig on
burning coals in hell with you forever than to
be eternally in heaven with a Northern cop
perhead. [Great laughter.!
Mr. Henderson, of lowa—That is pretty
stiff; but 1 stick to it.
Mr. Norwood—Mr. Chairman, tbe compli
ment pa and by tbe gentleman from lowa to
that nallot-lx'X stuffing and shotgun brigade
has no equal in irs sentiment of devotiou. in
history or liction there has never been but one
instauee which approached it, and that was
when Dame Quickly was narrating to Pistol
and liardilph the circumstances of the death
of Sir John Kal-uaff [laughter], wlieu Isar
dolpli, in tbe enthusiasm of his roguish soul,
cried out. “Would I were with him, where
some’er lie is, whether in heaven or in bell.”
[Laughter.]
.Speaking for myself only, while 1 return
m> profoundest a. knowledgmenis to tbe gen
tleman from lows for the offer of his society,
if I should be so unfortunale as to tiue the
wrong road and join turndown below [laugh
ter], and while 1 do not doubt that he will not
be much worse than the average ot ibe natu
ralised citizens ot that country so populous
with involuntary immigrants, yet I here and
now enter my solemn und vigorous protest
against accept'iig his delicate companionship
[laughter], for I am persuaded, notwithstand
ing bis peculiar delicacy in approaching a
subject, and his tendency to fraternal feeling,
llial no engagement, however pressing it
might be upon those who would be going
through tbe very rapid evolutions supposed
to be incident to that torrid clime, could pre
vent Hie gentleman from arresting the col
umn and muuuiug upon a red-bot stump and
Insisting that we should listen to him de
claiming that stale piece of jiolitical lore.
That would be a punishment greater than I
could hear. [Laughter and applause.] I
would he in favor of inaugurating another
rebellion [renewed l*ughier|. even with tbe
certain foreknowledge that die gentleman In
ten minutes would be found lighting first for
the devil and then for me. { Laughter.]
The gentleman ha, causcu in me the pro
foundest gratitude by tbe announcement tbat
He fought fur tlie South during the late un
plea- aii Liss< betwei n the I in led and tbe
Confederate States. Wben that overwhelm
ing outburst of plethoric philanthropy and
continental patriotism spurted from his
pierced and lacerated bosom as he approached
the gentleman from South Carolina the other
day, as a revival poacher leaves his pulpit
and approaches a hardened irtnner [lsughterj,
I confess that I took an extra grip of my
lachrymal dueta, winch 1 discovered were
about to leak. [Ureal laughter.]
I wondered If such patriotism Is hereditary,
and if it were, I begun to think of that geu
tl> mm's children. When Horne Tooko was
on trial for tre son, and the attorney general
began to expatiate abont hi - personal virtues
and about bis desire to leave Ids good name
ssa rich legacy to Ilia cbil Iren, lloroe Tooke
was seen to lie in tears, and wben his counsel
asked him the cause, he said be bad Just been
thinking of what a very small legaov theae
aafortunatechildren would receive. [Laugh-
Ip t. H raster sow. of. knre-1 would set

gia. [ Cries of “Ohr on Ua BmiinilH atde.l
If y legacy la my child nee I caa afford to leave
aide by side with roars
Mr. Norwood—Yoo will have your tlma to
speak whet) I get through.
Mr. Henderson—l throw that In to help
along affaire.
Mr. Norwood—l thought also bow many
valuable lives could have been saved If In tbe
lieginuing of tbe war the gentleman had ap
proached tbe Confederate lines with bis pecu
liar delicacy, and decorated himself with one
of bis sweetest smiles; for every Confederate
soldier would have Incontinently fled.
| Laughter.] And w hen they might have re
covered their senses, If they ever eould suffi
ciently to consider what It was they bad seen,
the mystery would have rmatned unsolved,
like another mystery recorded in an old eong;
*• Some said it was the red moon,
And some said naj ;
Some said it was the devil.
And they all ran a way.”
[Great laughter and applause.]
Mr. Henderson, of lowa—l never met them
but they did run away before 1 got through
with them. [ Applause on Republican side and
laughter and applause ou Democratic sole.]
M r Norwood—My honorable friend the oth
er dav—and Pave I not the right to call him
friend when he fought for me?—declared be
had said uotlung for tbe purpose of rufiling
the feeliugs of auybody, ami it wss certain
nobody could say anything that would rutile
bis.
But I was speaking of the gentleman's ox
fiansive patriotism, and after its exhibition
iere a few days ago, and I imagined if Ben
Lomond could be separated from Ibe Gram
pian range and transported over tbe sea, as
the gentleman was, and were set down some
where ia itie middle of this country, wo will
say about the state of lowa, how natural it
wonkt be for Ben Lomond to want to lie down
and spread himself all over tbo United States
aud the Temv lories thereof. with a sublime
disregard of tbo extreme attenuation of his
form. [Laughter.]
But. Mh Chairman, wc cannot receive Ben
Lomond. Scotland cannot bestow upon us
her Bruce or tier Wallace, for they made glo
rious history and their names are embalmed
in tbe leaves that record the history they
made, iiut she has bestowed upon us onu of
her choicest thistles; and, though its flowers
have fallen. Its thorns are still strong and
vigorous, lie with hia patriotism can oover
the Whole of the United States and a small
majority of the Third Congressional District
of lowa and a very considerable part of him
self, [Laughter.] His love has never neon
equaled since the time of Robin Roughhosd,
wbo declared if he could have his owu way
there would be no widows, for he would mar
ry them all, and tbere would be no orphans,
for he would father them all. [Great laugh
ter and applause.]
The literature of Scotland has furnished us
with au example that is a prototype, to some
ex'ent, of the gentleman from lowa. The
"Wizard of the North” exhausted his genius
in producing the character or Capt. Dalgetty,
whoso chief delight aud labor were to flgbt
first upon one aide and then upon the oilier,
wltn equal valor, fidelity and enthusiasm.
[Laughter.!
But, Mr. Chairman, truth is stranger than
fiction. aud the character i reduced by Walter
Scott is more than realized in the chnracterof
the geutleman from lowa, because he can do
what no fox-hunter has ever been able to do,
that Is, to ride upoa both sides of n sapling at
the same time, sad to draw his sword la de
fense of both soles of Ms country, as he avows
he did in the late war. [*r uswed laughter, i ,

plause.]
Mr. Chairman, it has been a rule of my life
never to bo outdone in courtesy or gratitude f
n, wore possible, ami u 1 ted under tiiepro
fonndest obligation to the gent'emub from
lows for the declaration that ho fought for
me during the war, t shall now proceed to de
fend turn against all comers. It has been in
sinuated liuru that tbe gen Homan’s speech the
other day was made for a different purpose
than for itH effort upon this House; that he was
speaking tor the third Coil regional district
or 10Wa,,, .Mr' Chairman. I repel the loul in
si n Italian agaiuat the go u tie in an. I thus been
satffeyen that Ijb Was speaking for the
benefit or a sacoe-uor yfho is to follow huh trim
that iljAtrict. That, tbo. is a mist ke, for hew
ean anv man possibly know who his successor
is to be?
Again, It was intimated that be Mas speak
ing upon the pension bill for votes, when we
all know it was a widow’s pension hill, and
widows do not vote. |Laughter.] These
charges are all unjust; all false. The gentle
man was actuated by puro patriotism, hut it
is of a pioudar kind, in making tbat attack
upon the South. His successor might be hU
political or his personal enemy, If indeed
there be a miscreant in tbe State or lowa wbo
coulu lie tbe enemy of a man who is as fall of
universal charity as a throe-year old doll is
full of sawdust. [Laughter.]
Hut, Mr. Chairman, there is another, a bet
ter and a sadder reason than all of these why
the gentleman was not actuated by any self
ish motive. I desire to slate here that I have
made a diagnosis of the cate of the gentleman
from lowa, and the concln-lon to which 1
have arrived is that he is afflicted with a dis
ease very common, but almost exclnsivelv
confined to public men, tbe name of which
was never known until discovered in the Slate
of Georgia. This discovery waa interesting.
An old lady was slok and her husband had
called several physicians to see her. who
treated her without sure***. Finally a young
friend of mine, who li.djnst commenced prac
tice, was called in, and, understanding the
situation as soon a* he examined the case, he
told the husband that he understood it per
fectly. He knew thecharsrier of the disease
at sight, and told the husband that the **vox
populi” had gel dows on her diaphragm.
[Great laughter and applause. 1
The gentleman from lowa has a very
marked and a .very extreme attack of the
••vox popnTi.” [R. aowed laughter, j Bolin

it should lie borue iu mind that man is com
posed of two parts, and all other elements

That ia the condition of the gentleman from
lowa. | Renewed laugh er.] His casei* one
of the Worst I have ever examined. [Laugh
ter and applause.] lie has what is called
cerebro e eplianliasts. [Loud laughter and
applause.] And this disease has increased
until the patient's brain is affected. I have
before me here a record that gives some of
the symptoms of a patient suffering from that
disease when it assumes the acute inflamma

newed laughter. The difficulty with tho
patient laboring under Ibe disease

has it i“. that when be attempts to say one
thing that he means, be says, another, and
here are some of the symptoms laid down in
this record which shows the character and
ext out of the disease:
For instance, if the patient is very eager to
perform an act he will nay, “I approacn it
with reluctance and hesitation.” [Laughter.]
If be has no delicacy whatever about express

These symptoms. Mr. Chairman, are un

district of {owa will require David B Hen

be cured of tbit disease, and lie will no longer

i DIVE’S UfIOST.
From the A IheruToim.
Is it the ghost or dead and ruined Love
Winch haunts the House of Life, and comes
by night
With weary sighs, and in its eyes the light
Of joya long st? I hear lit footsteps move
Through darkened rooms where only ghosts
now rove—
The rooms love’s shining eye of old made
bright.
It whispers low, It trembles Into sight;
A bodiless pmaense hearts alone may prova.
I say, "Sad visitsnt of this dark house,
W hy wondered thou through these deserted
rooms,
A dreadful glimmering light shout thy brows?
Thy siienlhonie should be among tbs tomlw ”
And th ghost answers, while I thrill with
fear,
“In all the world I hate no home but here.”

Deathly Hick.
Taunton. Mass.
Dr. David Kenned y, Handout, ,V 1".
Dkak Sir—l am an engineer on the Old
Colony Railroad, and run the Fall river boat
train between Fall River and Unveil, residing
in Taunton. For ten years 1 suffered every
thing but death from dyspepsia. Often I had
such blindiug sick headaches that 1 could
hardiysee. 1 think this was < ie partly to Ir
regular habits of eating and , nrtly to the jar
of the engine.
Remember that I had tried every medicine
I heard of and hnd been treated by some of
the best physicians in Taunton nnd Isvwell.
At this critical time DR. DAVID KEN
NEDY’S FAVORITE REMEDY was recom
mended to me. It was new to me, and with
my experience of medicines, you can easily
forgive me for saying that I had not a particle
of faith in it.
1 bad taken it but a few days when I began
to get better. Tbe raw aud sore feeling left
rav stomach and the snapping pains left my
head, and soon I was all right and have been
ever since. It is tbe only thing that ever did
me the least good, and it drove every ache,
pain and discomfort completely out of my
body. Now 1 keep KENNEDY’S FAVORITE
REMEDY with me on my engine, aud it goes
wherever 1 go.
Why. I believe FAVORITE REMEDY will
cure anything. One night awhile ago. John
Layton, an engineer wbo runs the main line
boat train from Boston, came on my engine
sick as death. He was worn out with work,
had a high fever and was so nervous he almost
broke down crying. “Nonsense. John,” I
said; “cheer up. I’ve got something on my
engine tbat will set you up in a jiffyl took
ont my bottle of “Favorite Remedy.” lifted
his bead and gave him a good dose. He went
to bed. Two days after I saw him looking
healthy as a butcher. “Dan,” he said, “what
was that stuff you gave me the other night'"”
“Itwas DR- DAVID KENNEDY’S FAVOR
ITE REMEDY, Kondout, N. Y.,” said I.
“Well, I don’t care wboee remedy It is, it’s tbe
thing for a man on the railroad.” So say we
all. Yours, etc.. Daniki. Fires.
