If General Gordon used those words, as
bn copied from jour paper, he is not only
“deceitful, unprincipled, dishonorable, uu
reliable in every way,” to Use Ur. Stephens',
tognage ot General Gordon, but he is also
ngimnlie liar and the truth is not in him.

I did vote for the Thurman funding bill,

KQ'stives from Georgia and evety member
ot toe whole House but two. and one of
those was Ben Butler, of Massachusetts,
ud the other “Mr. I.ynde,” of Wisconsin,
both tiid to be employed ns uttorneisby
the ruined. I did vote with tbe tax-payers
inUIlow, while John B. Gordon voted
wahHuuigton and the railroads in the

till not have an opportunity to vote on
Ih. bill introduced by General Gordon in tbe
Senate, which Hnutiugton called “his bdi,”
ud which he thought he could pass with
WHIM). It was killed in the Senate—
ilughterrd before tbe eyes of Huntington's
“Btii," alias John B. Gordon—by the pa-
bioU.Q ot Senators Cockrell and Wallace,
D-uccrata, and Senator Sherman, Republi
cs If it hid lived long enough to rcuch
the House I should have voted i gainat it, as
I have no doubt would have been dono by
every other member from Georgia, it was
sd«|>icahle bill, born of monopoly, und
pn-awd by the “infernal fo co” of Hunting-
t,n’. gold. I should have defended the tax-
him to • the best of my ability from that
wil.OUU, used by Huntington to press Geu-
ual Uonlou'e till through the Senate—and
tut hill had no more to do with building
Tom Scott's railroad, or with “Tom Scott'k
lobby scheme,” than Gladstone's present
tiU before tho people of Great Britain now
lea with Ocner.il Gordon's candidaoy.
Central Gordon was obliged to know that
thu taUehood would be exposed. He was
obliged to know that he would he proven a
kartrom tho official records; yet he brazen
ly ahempta bis filthy falsehood, to preju
dice the peopteof Laurens county, who
*<ee not prepared with official documents
■oibov Ueneral Gordon’s desperation and
abamtlesa efforts. General Gordon is gift-
•dinthese mendacious exploits. He can
““the most unwarrantable falsehoods in
jne (ace of the evidence that I have ewer
•novo a human being to coucoct and pro
late.
lhe only speech that I ewer listened to
■ Congress, on the bill of tbe Texas Pacific
“deoad, was made by Otho Singleton, of
"*"*i«aippi; and the only Congressional
ft*'!* I ever read on the subject was made
“Jbetialor L. Q. C. Lamar in the Senate,
jf** General Gordon pretend to lay,
Jr** gentlemen were defending Tom
deotfa lobby scheme,” while he was at-
“dung it? lit them settle the.matt*r be-
‘•een themaelves. To their honor, be it
eral Gordon that I bring proof to establish
every charge made by myself against him—
proof from official documents and Hunting
ton's letters, the truth of which he does not
deny.
In reviewing General Gordon's course
end his utterances since he wss imported
from Wall street, New York, to become the
candidate of a clique for the Governorship
of Georgia, it is the hounden duty of the
citizens of the State to examine into his
qualifications for the position.
Governor Brown found an enormous
weight of political guilt resting on bis
shoulders when he traded with Foster and
Stanley Matthews, to do something, not
yet fully revealed. I find an enormons
weight of political infamy resting on his
shoulders when he became Huntington's
“man" in the United States Senate to betray
the tax-payers of this country. I find alt
enormous weight of political trick-ry and
infamy resting on his shoulders when the
sworn testimony develops the methods by
which he seoured control of Georgia's con
victs for twenty years, to the injury of the
tax payers and tue free labor of this State.
I shall tell the people of Georgia that bo
unsafe, nnworthy, and unreliable, so
long as these attested facts stand out as
tbev do to his shame nnd discredit.
His sucoess at this time wonld lower tbe
standard of political rectitude, and pbtee
n premium on politicaltreacheryand official
unfaithfulness, which, in my opinion,
would do more to debauch the young men
of tbe State than anything which has oc
curred in its history.
His brilliant war record, like that of
Mitrlimrongh, has been trailed in tho dust
to fill his pockets with gold.
Respectfully, W. H. Fzltos.

Plumb, in oppobing tho bill, said be
wfiuld venture to Bay that not a man in tae
Senate who had served in the Confederacy
in arms would hesitate to say
that such a soldier in the Con
federate urmy would have been dismissed
in disgrace, if not shot, for failing to ptr-
fonn the obvious dtity which Po.ter failed
to perform on the 2i)th and 3(llb of August,
1862, The re-instatement ef Fitz-John Por
ter was the beginning of an attempt to re
unite the history of the Union army, to put
that which was disloyal and unfaithfnl
above ahat which was loyal and faithful,
litis was our quarrel, if quarrel it was; and
tbe other side ought to retrain from voting
on it.
Butler interposed to sny that he bad sat
during tnis discussion without opening bis
month, either for or against the bill; but
be submitted that there was a puuit be
yond which forbearance ceased to be a
virtue. That point was about reached, so
far tut ho was concerned, it had been in
timated by innuendo, almost by direct as
sertion, that Southern men were casting
their votes to restore Fitz-John Porter to
tbe army beeause he was disloyal to the
Union
I not only protest against that, Mr.
President,” continued Butler; "sir, for one,
1 denounce it as absolutely and entirely and
unqualifiedly untrue; and, sir, if it were in
unotber forum I would denounce it as cow
ardly, Because we are here in exercise ef

MARRIAGE AT OXFORD.
FREAKS OF TUB INSANE.
A Sheriff Relate, ns Adventure with an ln-
nau«* Negro.
During the tight year* I have been
sheriff of l’ike county,” said Sheriff Bussey
nt the union depot last night, “I have car-
ried twenty fentaUs to the lunatic asylum,
and I have noticed that in every case they
nse more profanity than men. They enrsi
even when their training has been the most
careful and religions, bnt why, I have never
born able to find out."
Sheriff Bussey enjoys s reputation all
over the St-to as one of the bdst amt
shrewdest officials, besides bting a man of
nnqneatinnabi* courage. He has natural
knack in ferreting ont criminals, and has
been known to undergo many trials and
privations in order to carry out bis plans
for the capture of criminals; but one of the
tightest places he was ever placed in was
with a lunatic, and be tells the story him
self:
I went in s buggy several miles in the
country after s negro man who
had been bound by colds and kept
securely until I c nld place him in jail to
await a trial on a wilt of lunacy. 1 fonnd
him bound band and foot, and when I re
leased him from bis uncomfortable position
be seamed to be the moat grateful negro I
everstw. I concluded that as he looktd
upon me as his deliverer, I wonld have no
difficulty in carrying him to town. Accorf-
ingly, I gave him a seat in my buggy one
did not tie him in any way. I placed him
on my right side, and we drove off all right.
My bone waa a spirited animal and when
the negro would now and then give a je:
Plumb—As the Senator has not restrained
himself from asomeobatlivelyspciohhero,
I hope be will not teel under any restraint
elsewhere.
Bailer—I can say this to the Senator,
that if he were to indulge in just such senti
ments and expressions elsewhere, as be has
here, he would be Tery likely to hear from
me.
Plumb—Oh, Mr. President, we hear
great many Rings in these days. There
are sign* and portents and all that sort ot
thing. It is just what the S -nstor has sold
that I waa commenting upon that
while men who served in the Union
army and the Northern peopl
were divided to some extent ot
this question, affecting the honor, good
name, faithfulness and loyalty of oue of
their own soldiers, no Confederate soldier
hod any doubt upon the subject but voted
nern. con. that he was guilty."
After some further rem-rks, Plumb said
be bad just been informed that the Presi
dent bad veted the bill giving a pension of
$50 a month to tbe widow of
Mujor-Gem ral Hunter, who had been tbs
presiding officer of the court-martial that
bail tried Fitx-Jobn Potter. That seemed
a fitting accompanimeat far tbe passage of
the Fitz-Jobn Porter bill, but tbe loyal
people of the country would see to it that
lira. Hunter shonld not suffer.
Teller offered si an amendment to place
upon tbe retired list Central Alfred
Pleasanton; rejected, 19 to 29.
Plumb offered an amendment to place
Mrs. Hunter on the pension roll at $50 a
month. Lost—19 to 29.
Logan offered an amendment to place on
the retired list every volunteer officer who
received wounds producing total diaability.
Rejected—18 to 29.
Blair offered an amendment providing
that rejected pension claims may be taken
to tba United States Couita' with the
privilege of a jury trial. This
amendment, be said, would relieve Con
grets of many bills for private relist
it would frighten him and it required
could do ta keep the horse from running
sway. When we had gens a few mill s the
negro changed. He seemed to think I was
carrying him to jail, and before I knew
it be dealt ms a stinging blow on Re
side of tho head, nearly kno-kioi
me out of lbs buggy,
held on the lines, knowing that it 1 turned
them loose tbe hone would run away and
lierbaps kill us both. Meeting with no
resistance the nrgro gave ue another blow,
and then another, and still another, nntil'
began to think I was being manled with
sledge hammer. Tbe more I talked to him
the madd>r he seemed to get, and then he
began to belabor me nntil I was fast being
beaten into a jelly. I waa never oo badly
puniahed in my lin. lie rained bla heavy
slinging blows upon me, and tbe borne was
going at bis utmost speed. There was not
s soul in sigbt, and to drop tbe lines to de
fend myself meant a horrible death. Finally
we met some men in the road, and using
all my strength I stopped tba borae and my
prisoner was fastened again in ropes. Bnt
for this I wonld have been beaten to death.”
