WRENN, Qvn'l p***i -erand TicketAgLAtlanta,Oa. =V»,twtf The argument was fuls.'. It tvas a libel outlie American rules oflaw, and was without precedent. No precedent for it could be found in any civilized country. He (Hill) acquitted Gen. Grant of complicity in the whisky frauds and revenue'fraudsi and the facts acquitted Mr. Davis of complicity withjan atrocity anywhere. Mr. Hill preceded to quote the law on Confed- to weary the House to day, because with the history of the last fifteen years yet fresh in the mind of the world, it was useless to speak of the grace and mag nanimity of the Republican party. With the master enslaved, with intelli gence disfranchised, with society dis ordered, with States subverted, with Legislatures dispersed, the people could not afford to talk of grace and inngna- nimitv. If that was grace and magna nimity, he prayed God to have the country in future free from such vir tues. The gentleman from Maine had the grave indictment against Mr. Davis that he was guilty of the murdersandcrimea at Andersonville, and the gentleman (Blaine) stood before the country with his very fame in peril if, after mak ing such a charge, he failed to prove it. He (Hill) would take up the gentle man’s propositions in their order. He hoped no one would imagine he was here to pass any eulogy on Mr. Davis. The record on which his fame must rest had been made up, and his com panions and friends had remitted that rocord-to the only tribunal that would give an impartial judgment—honest posterity. In the meantime no eulogy of his could help it, no censure from the gentleman (Blaine) could damage it. and to act or resolution of the House could effect it. The oharje against Mr. Davis, was thathewasa deliberate and willful scheming murderer of thousands of his fellow citizens. Knowing the high character and reputation of tire gentle man from Maine, he (Hill) hud sup posed when he heard the charge fall from his lips, that he had certainly made a recent discovery, and he listen 'd for the evidence. But what was it ? Nothing but the partial report of a Con gressional committee. The testimony mad was exclusive ex parte testimony, taken while the gentleman, now on trial before the country, was in prison without a hearing aud without tho op portunity of a hearing. If thero was any principle held sacred in the Anglo- Saxon mind, it was, that an En lish- man was not to be condemned until he Bhould be confronted with his wit 's* 6*o a m nesses; but the testimony was not only ex parte; but was mutilated, ingenious ly mutilated, and palpably mutilated, most adroitly mutilated. In this con nection Mr. Hill referred to the state ment of Dr. Jones, one of the witnesses on the Wirz trial, who had been sent by tho Confederate Government to make a report as to the condition of Andersonville, but whose report had never reached the Confederate authori ties. That report had, in the hands of tho Judge Advocate, been mutilated, and Dr. Jones had called the attention of tho court to the fact of one of tho suppressed statements, beiug that home sickness and disappointment among the prisoners had been more destruc tive to life than any physical cause. During the whole three months of the Wirz trial, tho Federal Government with all the means at its disposal, had not produced a single witness to con nect Mr.-Davis with a single atrocity. Even on the day of his execution, Wirz had beeu offered commutation of his sentence, if he would implicate Mr. Davis; but Wirz, answer to his counsel was: "Mr. Scbade.you know that I have always told you that I don’t know anything about Jefferson Davis. He had no connection with me ns to what was done at Andersonville. I would not become a traitoragainsthini or any body else to save my life.” But, said Mr. Hill, what poor Wirz, within two hours of his execution, would not say for his life, the gentleman from Maine says to the country for the sake of keep ing his party in power. [Sensatisn.] Sir, Christianity is a falsehood, humani ty is ft lie, civilization is a cheat, or tin man who would notmako a false charm ier his life was never guilty of willful murder. Mr. Hill went on to argue that ot the logio of Mr. Blaine’s speech, hold ing Mr. Davis responsible for the act of Winder, President Grant might h. held responsible for the acts of McDon aid and Joyce, and he asked wheth-i Blaine meant to establish a rule ol con struction that would authorize the coun try to arraign President Grant for con plicity in the whisky frauds. Was Mr Grant, he asked, responsible for the Credit Mobilor, for tho Sanburn con tract, and for the frauds on the District of Columbia. And yet Mr. Grant had absolutely sent to the Senate of the Uni ted States, for confirmation for a high office, the name of a mail, (Alluding tn Alexander R.Shephard,of Washington) who stood charged before the _c°unty with the great- st ' OTovided the rations for tho prisoners of war shall be the same in quality and quantity ns those furnished the en listed men in the army of the Confed eracy. That law was passed by the Confederate Congress, was approved by Davis, and wusso far as Davis’ agency was concerned, executed. The gentle man from Maine has gonb so far as to say Mr. Davis had sent GenSWinder to Andersonville for the purpose of or ganizing a den of horrors. The answer to that was an order lo cating the prison, which Mr. Hill proceed ed to read, and which provided that it should be in a healthy locality with plen ty of pure water, a ruuniug stream, and, if possible,shade trees, nnd in the imme diate neighborhood of grist and saw mills. That, he said did not look like organ izing a den of horrors. Mr. Blaine had said no Confederate prisoner in the hands of Federalshad suffered, but had always beeu allowed to buy whatever they wauted. The only answer he would give to that was that he himself had once the honor of beiug in prisou in tha North, and on the first day of his imprison ment the officer in charge of the person had kindly told him that he would put him on Andersonville fare aud would not allow hiih to buy anything. He (Mr. Hill) only got released from imprisonment after ten days effort before Gen. Dix of New York. " He then pro ceeded to discuss tho cause of the hor rors at Andersonville. He said that the first cause was the want of medicine. They did not have mediciue in the Con federacy, ui d the Federal Government had made medicine a contraband of war, a tiling which uo other country on the earth had ever done before; not even had the Duke of Alva done such a thing. Even the General officers received in struclious to examine women passing through the lines to search their petticoats so as to prevent their conveying medi cine to the Confederacy. Who was re sponsible for that? There was auother misfortune, and that was the want of clothing. Of course it had been made a contraband of war. Hedeclar d what ever were (he horrors at Andersonville, not one of them could be attributed to a single order of the Confederate G <v- ernraent, and every one of them grew out of the necessity of the occasion, which necessity was fastened on the Coufeder- erates by the conduct of the other side. He challenged Mr. Blaiue to meet him face to face, and fact to fact, in dicussion of of the question, declaring that the time was past when the country could accept the impudence of assertion for the force of argument or recklessness of statement for the truth of history. He (Hill) did not want to unfold the chapter on the other side. He was American who hon ored his country, and his whole country, and it tvas not pleasant for him to bring iroof that any poitiou of his country tail been guilty of willful maltreatment of poor manacled prisoners. Most of these horrors were inseparable from a state of war, aud ho wauted tho people to recollect that, so hereafter they should not be hurried into another war. Still, as a set off to the gentleman’s (Blaine’s) statement about Andersonville, ho would read some extracts from a letter by a Confederate surgeon, who was a prisoner of war at Elmira. Ho read portions of that letter, in which it was stated that tho mortality of Elmira was no less than that at Andersonville. Mr. Platt asked him who was the au thor of the letter ? Mr. Hill said h« didn’t know Mr. Platt declared that he was living within thirty-six miles of Elmira, aud that the statements were unqualifiedly false. Mr. Hill replied ho did not say the state ments were true, but only that they were as good »s the statements quoted on the ot-i- er side, lie merely used them as a sei-off. hut after all what was the test as to the degree of misery suffered in Northern md Southern prisons. The test was the result ot the report of Mr. Stautou, -Sec retary of War. The republican side of .lie house will believe him. He exhib ited the faot that, of Federal prisoners in the hands of the Confederate authori- ies during the war 22,576 had died, and ■ liaiot Confederate prisoners in Federal rands 26,530 had died. Surgeou Geu- ■rul Barues—ho supposed the republi cans would believe him also—had given the number uf Confederate prisoners in Federal hands during -ho war as 220,- J00 aud of Federal prisoners in Con- federate hands at 270,000. Therefore out of the 270,0J0 prisoners in Confed erate hands, only 22,576 had died, while out of the 220,000 Confederate nrisoners ia Federal hands, 26,439 had died. Tho ratio was 12 per cent, of Confederate pri-on-irs in Federal hands died, and less thau 9 per cent, of Federal prisoners in this district, after tho charges had | Confederate hands, aud my friend, ad dressing Blaiue with great emphasis, who is the murderer? 1 would have believed Gen. Barnes in preference to any politi cian over there. The gentleman, Platt, says ho Uvcb thirty-six miles from Elmira. Perhaps he could have smelled tho small pox-that far. He certainly could apt have seen it, aud i venture' to say that if small pox wus ut the prison camp no one oouhl huve got him nearer. [Lau hterj. But it is not cqtml to the mutilated evidence which tho gentleman from Maine intro duccd yesterday. We know how our prisoners suffered in Federal hands if wc choose to toll. Thousands uf-wwr-noor fellows come home from Elmira, Ft. Dela ware and o-lior places with their fingprs frozen off, with their toes frozen off, and their teeth fallen out but tho great question is at last who wus responsible for that state of thiiigs, and that is really The only important question. He wenton to dicuss the history of tho exchange of prisoners, stating that all the proposition from the Confederates for exchange, and for an amelioration of the condition of the prisoners, were rejected by the Federul Government. Mr. Blaine then asked him whether he had not been a member of the Confederate Senate. Mr. Hill replied that he had been. Mr? Blaine then proceeded to quote a resolution offered in the Confederate Congress by Senator-Hill, of Georgia, to the following effect: “Tlfttt every person pretending to be a soidier of the United States, who Bhall be cap tured on the soil of the Confederate States after the 1st of Janud’-y, 1863, shall be presumed to have entered the territory of the Confederate States with the intent to incite insurrection nnd abet murder, and that unless satisfac tory proof be adduced to the contrary before a military court, before whien his trial shall he hud, he shall suffer death.” He asked Mr. Hill whether he was the author of that resolution. Mr. Hill -1 will say to the gentle man from Muine very frankly that I have net the slightest recollection ol hearing it before. Mr. Blaine—You do not deny it. Mr. Hill—I do not know. My own •pinion is that I neyer was the author of that resolution, but I have ho rtool- leotion of it. If tho gentleman can ive mo the cirouinstances under which it was introduced, I may re collect. Mr. Blaine—On the first of October 1862, the Judicury Committee of the Confederate Congress made a report and offered a series of resolutions, and there upon Senator Hill, of Georgia, is recorded as having offered tho resolu tion which I have just read. Mr.—Hill I was Chairman of tho Judiciary Committee in the Senate, and very likely, like the Chairman of tbs Committee on Rules at the last session, I may have consented to that report, [Laughter at the expense of Mr. Blaine.] Mr. Blaine—Docs the gentlemen ad mit that he made that report. M. Hill—I do not know, but it is very likely. [Derisive laughter on the Republican side.] Mr. Blaine—The copy which I have quoted from, is entitled ‘‘Republican ism in America.” I wish to know whether the gentlemen was The author of that resolution. Mr. Hill—I reully do not recollect. [Renewed laughter on tho Republican side. M. Blaine, persistently—If tho gen tlemen does not say that he was not the author of i;— Mr. Hill—I do not, but I think I wus not the author of it. Mr. Blaine—I thought that, as the gentleman’s effort was to show the hu mane character of the Confederate Con gress, this might aid him in remem bering facts. Mr. Hill—With nil due deference to the gentleman, he did not think any such thiug (Laughter.) He thought he would divert me from the purpose of my argument. Mr. Blaine, apologetically—Oh no, the gentleman can have all the time he wants. Mr. Hill—What measures "the Con federate Government might huve thought proper to take ut that time to protect the women and children of the Confederacy from insune ;ti-m I do not recollect, hut I Shull not be diverted by the gentleman from the course of my argument to go into tho history of smvery or of the insurrection of John Brown’s said. 1 know this, that wheth er I or any other gentleman on the committee was the author of the reao lutum,and which I think mure than probable, our purpose wus nut to do iiijusiiue to any man, woman or child. North ort[ mill, hut to adopt what we deemed stringent nieasuies to protect our w v-s and eliilbeo from servile insurreution aud slaughter while our brave s»us were in the field. [Mur murs of applause on the Democratic side] Mr. Hiil then continued his remarks relative to the exchange of prisoners, and said: Tne Confederate Govern ment oflically proposed in August 1864, that if the Federal Government would seud steamers and transport to Savannah, the Confederate Govern’ ment would return the sick end woun ded prisoners on its hands without an equivalent. The proposition, which was communicated to the Federal au thorities in August, 1864, was not an swered until December, when some ships were sent to Savannah.
