desk which was formerly occupied by Gar

from the galleries. Disclaiming any in

of the county returning boards. Rending
from an interview withOoMml Chalmers
published in the Hew York fVAwne shortly
after the OeoUra, totho effect that he I
wanted a white man's government in Mis-
sisslppi and would resort to any means
short of open violence to accomplish that
object, Lynch idmiUed that Chal mers woe
authorized to speak for the Bourbons of
Mississippi, but emphatically dfnied his
authority to apeak for tho oonssevaHve
I white people. He deoied that raceprejn-
the lraud and

tipathy of the Bourbons was not a race an

Langston or any other intelligent colored
man as the Republican candidate for the
Presidency in 1880 would have come as near
carrying Mississ ppi as
carrying Missies ppi ss General Garfield
bad done. Ho asserted, with feelings of
deep mortification and profound regret,
that in the official person of the contestee
in this case the c.nntry was presented with
a living monument to rifled .ballot boxes
and stifled public, justice. Though

with either silent acquiescence or public
approval.
In the farther course of Ms speech,
Lynch characterized Mr. Chalmers a, a
maligner of his section and a tradneer of
the most respectable and intelligent por
tion of his own people. Referring to what
ho termod the Bourbon method of alectiou, I
ho declared that the Republican party
would continue' to wage an tun.easing war
upon that method until the right of every i
Amcrio-n citizen to cast his ballot for the

Mr. Chalmers, the oonteatee, was the
next speaker. Referring to the speech just
delivered by Mr. Lynch, ho said it was but
a repetit.cn of what had been said time
and time again by the contestant and bi3
co-conspirators, who had through the pub
lic press of the country endeavored to de
stroy tho reputation of tho white people of
Mississippi. Notice of contest was filed
with just fitch general charges of fraud, vi
olence and all manner of corruption in
Mississippi, and yet. when these charges
came to be tried they could not be sub
stantiated. The contestant had undertaken
to arraign him personally before Congress,
but he iChalmers) challenged tne gentle
man to find in the record a line or sj liable
from beginning to tnd that cast any suspi
cion o:t his character. He then entered
into an exhaustive review of the facts of
the caao as eihibittd by the record, nud
which failed, !w claimed, to prove any ho:
v f fraud or violence. Instead of having I
in ido hit* eotlleht with rrtle and shot-gun,
it \»r,s matter of history that he had made
it with n brass band blown by colored mu
sicians, in ft patriotic wagon deckod In red,
white an blue.
In conclusion, he said: “If reason and

riftco of Democrats is to b» made and 1

Mr, DgMott, of Indiana, closed the dnv’s
debate with an argument iu favor of Mr.
Lynch’s ♦•laTm to the seat, and then the
matter went over. The previous question
will probably be called at two o'clock to
morrow. _
The Speaker laid before tho House a
message from the President respecting
outlawry in Arizona. After a brief si>eech
by Mr. Springer, of Illinois, relative to the
importance of immediate action, the mes
sage was referred to the committee on mil
itary affairs, with leave to report at uny
time. Adjourned.
THZ 8HIFHZED INVESTIGATION.
AV.tsnfNoroN, An il 27.—When the for
eign affairs committee assembled to-day,
both Mr. Blaine nnd Mr. Belmont gave
evidence from their manner and expres
sion of countenance that they were pre
pared for an unfriendly encounter. Mr.
Belmont first presented a copy of Evarte
report to Congress on the Londrean claim,
which Mr. bisine said yesterday omitted
the word "unofficial” in referring to Sec
retary Fish's letter of ins tractions to our ^
then minister to Pern upon the same claim.

struction* Tt th tt timo with the word ‘‘un
official'’is at the riot ol tho pre-ent diffi
culty between Blaine and Belmont, Bel

qualify his dispatch to Haribat to^sigui-
fy that official pressure upon Peru in favor

ed. Blaine begun to read Evart,’ letter,
when Belmont stopped him nnd stated
that h9 bad chosen to read that portion of
the letter which did not contain the dispu
ted word. Blaine said, ‘‘Yes, Evarte n et
the word in one place and omits it in
another, showing its otter inconsequent!
ality.”
Before Ur. Belmont oould proceed, Mr.
Blaine said he desired to make a state
ment, and said that Mr. Belmont had .ex
hausted two hours of the timo of the com
mittee yesterday traveling inn circle. He
repeated hia questions Bit or eight or ten
times over. Of course he has the tight,
tmt it is all based on the fact that be made
two misquotations—absolute, palpable mis
quotations—and this course of his is to es
tablish his justification in doing that. He
has not yet touched upon it. “While I
have the largest possible amount of pa
tience, I would rather that he came direct
ly to the point. There are many important
points that I would like to be heard upon,
but the iteration and reiteration of the
same questions, in order to vindicate Mr.
Belmont for having made ihe blunder to
misquote me in two particular?, is a I.tile
too exhausting. He has made two palpa
ble misquotations and has mn’e no ex
planation of them, when as a gentleman, * s
I understand him to be, he ought to ata a
frankly that ho did it."
Mr. Blaine, who had been standing end
speaking with a good deal of-excitement,
took his seat, and Mr. Belmont jumped
from his chair, bnt before he conld reply
the chairman broke in and said: “I desire
to say that the chairman representing the
committee is reluotant to pat any restric
tion on the course and conduct of the ex
amination. Mr. Belmont insists on his
right to examine in bis own way. I have
no doubt that Mr. Blaine will exercise the
virtue of patience, and I presume that in
pursuing that course we shall finish the
examination much sooner than if we were
to restrict either witness or examiner.”
Mr. Belmont—“Of course. Mr. Blaine’s
object is plain enough—that is to avoid the
direct issue."
■Mr. Blaine (rising and striking the table
angrily with his clenched hand)—“What
Bilaaont—“The issue which must be

■Bl»«“e-“whatissue?" „ A
Belmont (also rising angrily and strik
ing the table)—“I will not answer a single
question that you ask from this time to
the end of the examination. You have
attempted to place me in a false position.
In this yon will
ITnrarar not eneceed. I said that
tho quotation marks were a mistako of the
printer, and your language bears the con
struction I put upon it. A careful reader
will agree with me, and a careless reader
may be influenced by your speech.
^Blaine (interrupting)— 1 “Which you are
now trying to copy.
Belmont-“I wunld not copy anything
that I considered improper. The com-
nxenoeiESnt of this examination this morn

the office of Secretary of State. Yonhavo

Blaine (angrily)—‘ What do yon tnean ?”

“I have no more regard for your inso
lence," retorted Blaine, “than 1 have for
that of a boy on the street.”
Belmont—“Mr. Biaine has had due
experience before committee!, and he
has endeavored to threaten them. He has
done it for the last time. He will not do
it to me.”
Mr. Blaine (ip a disgusted tone)—“This
is too trifling. I hone that the committee
will protect itself. I have no power.”
Chairman Williams finally restored a
measure of quiet, when Belmont proceeded.
Question—“Did not the re-olution of the
House of Representatives to which you
have referred simply authorize the State
Department to exercise the kindly offices
of the government in behalf of this Lan-
dre&u claimant—this lobbyist who has
been hanging around the capital, who had
trumped np a claim.—”
At this point Dunnell, with some vehe
mence, Interrupted: “As a member of
this committee, I protest against this style
of patting stump speeches into, tho body
of a question.”
Belmont answered Dunnell that stump
speeches bad been permitted to be injected
in the witness’ replies and that the com
mittee should have enforced Donnell’s
point at the start. The rasping between
Belmont and Blaino continued through the
examination. Belmont’s questions were
directed to indnoing Blaine to interpret his
dispatches. Blaines answers were to rea l
the dispatches and stop there, saying he
was unable to odd anything farther—
that was all there was in it. Belmont asked
what claim Londrean had upon the good
offices of this government. Blaine an
swered, tho claim of an American citizen.
Belmont said no evidence existed “of his
naturalization. Blaine replied that the
Senate had passed upon that question in
confirming him as United States Consul.
Fo this Belmont replied by reading the
names of several United States consuls
who, he stated, ere not citizens of the
United States. Blaine raid he was igno
rant of the matter stated by Belmont, but
if the facts were as claimed, it was a mat
ter to be looked into, as the law was ex
plicit that nono but citizens can be United
aisles consuls.
Representative Walker suggested that an
other investigation seemod imminent.
Mr. Belmont then referred to the letter
of instructions to Treecoti, and Mr Blaino
said: “I most contest that I was greatly
surptised at the publication of that dis
patch. I thought I hod an understanding
with the President that the dispatch should
not bo published until Tresoott retained
from South America. When I heard that it
had been sent to the Senate, I telegraphed
immediately to the White House, aud urged
that it might be withheld from the Associa
ted Press. That evening I sent a note to
tho President stating my reasons why it
ought to be withheld. It wa«, however,
published, and there have been no more
pernic-'ous results from improper publica.
tion of State Department dispatches than
have resulted from this. Tresoott consid
ered his mission to South Amorica ended,
and from that day there has been no
earthly u-e of keeping him thero."
Mr. Belmont then stated that ho had no
moro questiona to ask.
Blaine stated that at Belmont,after being
warned on Monday, had persisted in en
tire y misquoting his dispatches and put
ting upon them constructions utterly for
eign to their true meaning and intent, he
was coifftelied to change his opinion of
him, which had heretofore been that bo
was a gevtleman, An exciting colloquy
ensued, which the committee were unable
to interrupt. Belmont intimated that
he would doal with Blaine in private,
awl followed it np with tho word?, “I be-
liWo yon nro n bully nnd coward.” Mr.
Blaine, addressing the committee and ig
noring Belmont,replied: “Mr. Chairman,
ibis young map has disgraced himself. He
has been put forward by those who are be
hind him to insnlt me, but be is incapable
of doing so." The toene was a most re
markable one, and notwithstanding the
efforts Of tho chairman to Smooth the
troubled waters nitd obviate the necessity
for any misunderstanding, the impression
prevailed at adjournment that the dispute
had by no means ended. It is the subject
of much oommtnt on all sides this alter

reported favorably, and iiaased.
The political disabilities bill came np as
first in order on the calendar, nnd after a
rambling discussion as to whether the dis
cussion should proceed daring the time

of tho claims of

the Benate amendments. Mr. Hooker, of
Mississippi-, objected on the ground that it
was not wise legislation to act upon such
important measures without some time
being given to the consideration of the

order for the printing of the bill and

sin, a resolution was ad >pted authorizing
tho committee on foreign affairs te send a
sub-committee to New York for the pur
pose of examining witnesaoa in the Chili-
Peru investigation.
The House then resumed consideration
of the Mississippi contested election case
of Lynch vs. Chalmers, and the previous
question having been ordered, Mr. Cal
kins, of Indiana, took the floor to close the
debate.
He prefaced hift argutlU’nt with a brief
review of the present condition of the col
ored race. Old follies and sophistries were
gone, and to-day the idea that all men are
created equal before the law was the ac-
oepted doctrine of tfca Republican party.
“Except the Chinese/ suggested Mr.
Buchanan, of Georgia.
Mr. Calkins—“Whenever the Chinese as
people shall stop tho system of servitude,
so man on this side of the chamber will
refuse them the fellowship of mankind.”
Turning to the consideration or tho case,
Mr. Galkina ;^hihlled a map of Mississippi
io show the gerrymandering which bad
been resorted to in order to throw a large
majority of the colored people into the
“shoestring” district, and some good-
natured colloquies ensued as to tho system
of registering in vog*e in Indiana and
Ohio.
Mr. Calkins spoke nearly two hours, and
v.ta frequently applauded by his party
friends.* In conclusion, ho reviewod the
benefits granted to the colored people by
the Repnblioan party, and assured that

dition of that Stato under the carpet-bag
and under Dcmocratio rule, greatly to tho
disadvantage of the former.
Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, commented on
the faot that tho Republican party, which,
broke into enlhuslastio applause at the
advent of the contestant in tho case yes-
did not objoct to tho contestant because he
was a colored mm. If lawfully elected,
he (Tockjr) would vote for him, bat if not
elected be begged of gentlemen on the
other side not to force on a Southern con
stituency n man of African dcicsnt when
they would not allow one of that raco to
occupy a seat from any district in the
North. Ho denied the truth of the propo
sition that all colored men were Republi
can?, and therefore no Democrat oould be
elected from districts in tho South in which
the colored race predominated, except by
resorting to fraud or violence.
Mr. Tucker then proceeded with a legal
argument in support of Mr. Chalmers’
claim, and was followel by Mr. Robeson,
of New Jersey, who presented tbe law sus
taining tbe cause of the contestant. Most
of his argument was that tho House, hav
ing th« constitutional right to determine
upon the election of its members, had the
right and power to ovorrida decisions of
State courts throwing teihnisalities in the
way of allowing votes constitutionally cast
to be honestly counted. The decision of
the Supreme Court of Mississippi, that a
“monkey dash” upon a ticket was n distin
guishing mark, nndlhst consequently over
2,000 vote* cost for Lync • must be thrown
out, was, in his judgment, not only absurd
bot unconstitutional.
Mr. Speer, of Georgia, spokoin favor of
ihe contestee’s right to retain his seat,
stating that be did so influenced by no par

Washington, April 28.—Tha following
letter was sent to Chairman Williams
of the House committee on foreign affairs,
this aftornoon by Representative Ferry
Balmont, of New York:
Dear Sir: In the examination of yester
day and tbe day immediately preceding,
provocation so gross and persistent was of
fered to me by a witness testifying before
yonr committeo that I wa* led to aso lan
guage which, though unparliamentary, did
prrper'y describo his conduct nud my ap
preciation of liis character. The witness
under examination had seen fit to criticise
questions addressed by me on a former o v
casion to another witness,first because quo
tation marks appeared in tho print edrecoru
of such questions, the responsibility for
which Idisivowod, calling attention at tho
snuie time to the fact thatthe form of tbe
question negatived tha idea that I was
quoting ftom these dispatches, _ and sec
ondly. because of the interpretation placed
by me on these dispatches. This was
properly a matter for argument, and tho
wituc.ss had every opportunity to mesent
end explain his construction of the dis
patcher signed by hitn. He chose rather to
insist on a change of my opinion respect
ing the me ining of the dispatches, and
when I declined to make a change in my
belief, which was positive aud well-founded,
he thought it proper on a public occision
to use language personally otfensi'e. It
was my desire and purpose yesterday to
put an end to any farther continuance of
these personalities before the committee,
and I therefore preferred a loss public
treatureut thereof by myself. Having been
surprised int j making a reply in the pres
ence of the committee of a chiracter such
us seem, to my del berate judgment would
have been elsewhere, under the circum
stances, entirely proper, and which ex
presses my opinion perfectly, noting

Execution Ct Dr. Lamson.
London, April 28.—Dr. inmson was
hinged at nine this morning. Ho was
calm and composed.
London. April 28.—Only three reporters
were present at the hanging of Dr. Lamson.
The prisoner, who until the'timo cf start
ing for the gallows had been calm and
composed, looked very pale and was very
oervons. He was supported by wardens
either aido, and was with difficulty nblo
on <
to descend tho steps to the yard. Ho was
met by Marwood, the executioner, at tho
fcotof the step*. Lamson hardly second to
appreciate wliat was going on. From the
steps there was a distance of
about sixty yards to traverse to
the gallow*. Lamson was sup
ported with difficulty from this point to
the scaffold. Ho swayed backward and
forward and stared wildly around him
when placed under the noose. The cbat>-
lain, who appear'd to be much affocted,
began to rerd a portion of the bnrinl ser
vice. Lamson in the meanwhile was sup
ported by two goalers, and his legs we-e
strapped. Just before the cap was adjust
ed he cast down his eyes with a look of de
spair. Ihe drop was nine feet and death
was instantaneous. The chnplain remain
ed by tho gallows, repeating the Lord’s
Prayer. The body remained hanging fur
one hour.
The Lancet says it utterly fails to j>er-
ce ! vo a particle of evidonce demonstrating
the usaoity of nr. Lamson. The -Vetcs be
lieves that if Dr. Lamson had boen re
prieved on the ground of insanity it would
be impossible hereafter to punish any
criminals who could show that indulgence
in sedatives nnd narcotics had weakened
their physical and mental condition.

that he still considered him es his pbysi-

“ Ho also stated that he had no knowl
edge of ever having plaoed himself under
the professional care of Dr. D. W. Bliss,
and he did not believe Dr. Bliss had ever
spoken one word to him upon the subject.
“ Mrs. Garfield stated, at tho same time,
that she had never been consulted by Dr.

Wawxenton, April 27.—Last Saturday
night this section was visited by a most
terrific and disastrous wind and rain
storm. The streams were swollen far be
yond their natural limits. Bridges, fences
and fish-ponds alike were swept away like
chaff before a whirlwind. The lands
plowed previous to the rain were washed
and cut into furrows much to the injury of
our farmers, whose interests are common to
all, and upon whom all classes and condi
tions of mankind are depend*nt
A full harvest cf small grain will be'
reaped in Warren county if no unforeseen
calamity befalls it; especially ia there
promised an abundant yield from the
oat Crop, of whioh a much larger amount
than usual has been sown, the farmers
having begun to learn that serving cotten
as the king of vroductiouB is as unprofitable
as impncticabie. The most prosperous
and independent farmers within the scope
of our observation are those who for the
past few jerfrs have grown the least cotton
and the most grain. It is a rule with bnt
few exceptions, that the strictly cotton
planters are laboring under severe financi
al embarrassments especially is ttrne with
those who have had to shoulder the onus of
the credit system. It would bo fortunate
for many farmers (and for some not farm
ers) if they could not obtiriu such unlim
ited credit, at lsa-t for thone who have
never learned the lesson of eoonomy and
care naught for the practice thereof. And
surely iu many oa*es it would relieve tho
merchant of many anxious fears.
We ere confirmed in the belief that credit
to some leads them to extravagance, and
often to want, white others, who perhaps
are no more conscientious about paying
their justly contracted debts, use the-cams
economy and prudence In buying a* though
they were payiug cash for every article
purchased. Indeed the trade of our coun
try may bo divided into threo general
classes, viz: (1.) those who fully intend
to pay for all they buy; (2.) these who are
indifferent about meeting their obligations;
(3.) those who do not expect to pay if there
is any possible way of escaping it. Nowit
is manifest that upon the first of
them is based the nope of tbe mer
cantile world. They are tbe only
safeguards to the creditor, and while
special favors in prices aro nit—. in .*a*
then), to a great extent they help to bear
the bordon of high pricee placed upon the
other two claseee. And a uniformity of
prioes cannot be maintained when thfire is
too great rink aenumed, and hence it so
happens that tbe most reliable customers
often raise complaints against prioee which
were really fixed for the trade of the unre
liable. Pardon this digression from the
office of a correspondent.

Memorial Day (yesterday) was only par
tially observed here. No address was do
livered, but the usual custom of decorating
the graves of onr soldier dead with flowers
fresh and *air was not abandoned by many
of our patriotio ladies, assisted by the chil

no stream, and would run through an al
most perfectly level country. The road
will be aboat twenty-three miles in
length. Tbe amount ot money originally
estimated for grading, cro-s-tie* etc., was
fifty thousand dollars. Bnt this
estimate ha* since been reduced to
about forty rone thousand. Of th'te
amount thirty six thous-icd has already
been subscribed. The directors of the new
road are to furni*!i cro<a-ties and grade
the road, and the Central railroad i* to
furnish iron and rolling stock. At the
meeting of the Central railroad stockhold
ers in May, the proposition of the directors
will be considered. The directors have
had every reason to believe that their prop
osition will be considered favorably. The

the course of these merchants with that of
the roe-chants of other plac*s which hare

Tbe people of Bnenn Vista are indebted
to Mr. Branham for a most excellent

on tho military plan. Hia boys are all uni
formed and a stranger is at once -truck by
their erect carriage and military bearing.
Everything about his school is conducted
with military precision. '1 he fact that his
patronage is drawn from all the surround
ing counties is evidence of the popularity
of his system.
There is no whisky sold in Marion coun

Our town wss excited this morning by n
shooting affray between two negroes that
met in tbe open streets. It seems that the
order nf the Sons and Daughters ot Jaoob
has been established here some timo, nnd
one George R. Morris is here in tho inter
est of tho order. A few dayB ago another
negro came here, .-epresenting another or
der, and publicly abused Goo. R. Morris,
whereupon George demanded that ho take
back, publicly, what ho had said, whioh the
negro refused to da. George thereupon
drew his pistol and commenced shooting,
the other negro returning tue fire. Nine
shots wsro fired. Morri3 was shot through
the thigh, and the other boy, B. B. Wel-
born, was shot through the nrm. The

Buena Vista, April 20.—The abrupt ad
journment of the Superior Court was quite
a disappointment to the peoplo of Buena
Vista. A number of little affairs, social
aud political, had been arranged for court
week. Among other thing-, u grand rally
nnd mass meeting of the Democrats had
l>een set for Thursday, the 27th instant.
It was proposed on that day to select an
executive committes, and put everything
in readiness for the coming campaign.
Bat on tho breaking up cf the court, the
chairman of the present committee. Mr.
\Y. W. Singleton, revoked the call. Buena
Vistt is rather a too inaccessible point to
assemble a crowd easily, «o Mr. Singleton
will let the men of each district select
their own members.
The inaccessibility of Bnena Vista wil!
soon be a thing of tho past. The poople
have long wanted n railroad. They want
it now, and are resolved to have it. The
surveys have all been made and the proba

J. W. Roberts, one of the directors, that
the origiiml plan was to run the road from
Buena Vista to Geneva. Bot this would
necessitate the building of a bridge and
a considerable amount of trestle, aod would
also require some very heavy grading. It

Fobstto, Ga., April 27.—Memorial day

Amnaicus, April 27.—The memorial exer
cises here yesterday were more interesting,
and attrected moro general attendance and
interest than for many years past. The en
tire oxercises were held in Oak Grovo cem
etery. Tbe programme was well conceived
and admirably executed, the leading fea-
luro of which was an address delivered by
Mr. Eli Shorter, of Alabama. Of his effort
we have heard flattering expressions of ap
proval. In mentioning several living em
bodiments of Southern chivalry, ho paid a
plowing tribute to orr representative in
Congress, Hon. Phil Cook, who, though he
still lives to do honorable service for his
country, while fighting under tho stars and
bars received almost fatal scar?.
Many warm friends of both gentlemen
regret the antagonism between Cook nnd
Crisp for the Cungre>sional nomination in
this district. The general sentiment seems
to be to honor both—return Cook to Con
gress and let Judge Crisp complete his
term ns judge, at tho rlcse of which ho will
doubtless be tendered h'gher honors.
One of the most copious rains wo have
