WEDNESDAY, JUKE 11,1879.
ILL-TIMED SPEECHES.
There are many things which are
lawful which are not expedient, and
there are many things which may be
said with peifect truthfulness and sin
cerity which there is no sense in saying
at all. It is strange that after all these
years leading men and intelligent men
have not learned to keep their mouths
shut upon certain subjects. We note
with a great deal of surprise the asso
ciated press report of the oration deliv
ered last Friday over the Confederate
dead at Winchester, Va., by Senator
Morgan, of Alabama. Instead of pay
ing the proper and customary tribute to
the dead on account of their courage
and devotion to principle, he unwisely
went further and entered into a discus
sion of the causes which led to the war,
re-affirmed the riglrt of secession and
placed the blame for the war upon the
shoulders of the North. While the
questions which produced the war are
naturally suggested by the recurrence
of decoration day, we can see no good
reason why this ground should be gone
over and over again after all the ques
tions have been settled beyond the pos
sibility of resurrection. If there were
any good to be accomplish by these
discussions they could be commended;
if they were merely harmless they could
not be objected to; but since they can
accomplish no good, while they do a
vast deal of harm, they are not only not
to be encouraged but they are to be
condemned,
We desire to be understood about this
matter. We believe in making no
apologies for the past. Our reasons and
our record are before the world and by
these we are willing to be judged. Of
course the South Relieved in '61
that it was right, but the sword
said we were wrong and after
that decision we returned to the
Union and we propose to stay there
The question of our right to secede was
raised, tested and settled. Let there be
an end of it. We cannot consistently
with good faitli and our oaths go be
hind that, decision. If it is said by Sen
ator Morgan that it is nftt proposed to
call it jfltq question, then, we ask, why
raise again all those questions which
were covered by the arbitrament ? The
whole business is an old sore which it
were far better to let heal if it will. By
ignoring the dead issues of the past we
commit no moral perjury, we compro
mise no principle, and we exhibit vast
ly better sense. It is disagreeable to us
to have the North parade before our
eyes its peculiar notions as opposed to
our own ; so it is disagreeable to the
North for us to resurrect the doctrines
of 1861 and re-affirm our unfaltering
belief in them. We may believe in them
if we want to; we have never promised
any one that we would not ; but why
obtrude them upon people who dissent
from them and who don't want to hear
them? It does us no good and it does
us harm because it mafces the North
despise us the more and it gives an ex
case to the politicians of that section to
declare before their ignorant followers
that the South is plotting fresh "trea
son." We Southern people have no
good ends to subserve by keeping alive
the bitterness of the past, and if we
would have an end of sectional strife
let ns not minister to it. We can eulo
gize our dead without having even the
appearance of trying to infuse fresh
life into exploded issues. We can be
true to our traditions, to our principles
and to our dead, and still be sensible
and take things as we find them.
A Change of FRONT.-fThe Louis
ville Age) an alleged independent paper
which atTirst saw nothing but staleness
in Senator Vance's recent speech, has ex
perienced a change of heart with refer
ence to that gentleman 'and his speech
and in its last issue has this good word
for both :
Wit wins its way faster than wisdom.
Few men have so quickly attracted the
national attention as Senator Vance.
In fact, before he arose at all on the
floor of the Senate, the news got abroad
that the staid dignity of the senatorial
fathers was to be relieved, and the press
entered into serious discussions about
the value of fun in national politics.
But the wires were made merry even
with the condensed and blurred trans
mission of his jokes in his first speech
the other day. It seems probable that
the whole nation is willing to give its
attention to Mr. Vance, as his' own con
utituency have done for many years.
At home he is the most popular man
that his State ever produced. lie will
soon joke his way into a national repu
tation. Fortunately, too, he has not
merely wit but wisdom also.
The Ingersoll Oration in the
Pulpit. Rev. Dr. Wm. Tj Brantly.
pastor of the Seventh Baptist church of
Baltimore, took for the subject of his
last Sunday night discourse, An Infi
del Over a Coffin," being a discussion of
the funeral oration of Col. Robt. G. In
gersoll over his brother, the late Hon.
E. C Ingersoll, of Washington. Dr
Brantly warned his hearers against the
sentiment in that "beautifully worded
speech which, he said, "has beeu sent
on its mission of evil with every ad
vantage that could be given by beauty
of style and choice of language."
, :
One of the colored "exodusters" from
the South was badly beaten and bruised
up a few days ago at Wyandotte, Kan-
sap, by his colored brethren,5 because he
had announced his purpose to return
to his old home. It is said, they regard
all those .who want to go, back'as' de
serters, and buiMioze uiem at such a
rate that manywho would like to re
turn to the South are deterred; through
fear from so doing. . f r t .,
: Secretary McCrary wrote the first
veto of the army bill. Secretary Mc
Crary is a violent partisan and as such
not fit to sit on the bench. There i?,
therefore, a probability that the Senate
will refuse to confirm bim for the Unit
d Stales Judgeship for which he has
been nominated. This would be speedy
retributive justice. . ,

Alice Oates, the irresistible little actress

scribed as "a man-about town," which

great pity that little Oates chooses :so

she seems devil-bent upon marrying

The Terre Haute, Ind., Express has
been making some calculations, and
discovers that the number of soldiers
the Republicans have elected to Con
gress is only twenty-nine per cent of
the entire Republican representation.
Only two of the Indiana Republican
Congressmen are Union veterans,"
and only four of the fifteen Republican
Governors are soldiers. This is the very
thing Senator Hampton was talking
about in his speech the other day.
Senator Conkling is looming up as a
lesser light. His friends want to make
him Governor of New York, and it is
reported that he "has the matter under
serious consideration," with a view, in
the event of the failure of the Grant
programme, of appearing before his
party as a candidate for the Presiden
tial nomination. John Sherman, how
ever, will have something to say about
all that.
The Republicans paid no attention to
Senator Hampton's speech. Logan,
McMillan and Conkling remained -in
the Senate chamber during its delivery,
and the two former, it is stated, laugh
ed and conversed with each other in
undertones giving out the impression
that they were ridiculing the speech.
And yet they talk of plantation man
ners. A niece ol Barbara Frietchie pre
sented a bouquet to Gen. Ilawley, at
the end of his oration at Frederick,

The New York Mail, Republican,
bestows warm praise upon Senator
Hampton's recent speech, and speaks
of it as if Gen. Hampton had almost
convinced it that he had no designs up
on the life of
the government.
A - EG RO RIOT IX GEORGIA.
Bloody Work of an Excursion Party
No Whites Engaged.
Savannah, June 9. A terrible riot
took place this afternoon at Mcintosh,
Liberty county, a station on the Atlan
tic and Gulf Railroad, between a party
of negro excursionists from Bryan coun
ty and those belonging to the place. It
began in a tight between two negroes,
whereupon John Randall, the captain
of a negro militia company from Bryan
county, which company made a part of
the excursionists, ordered his company
to charge, which they did, bayoneting
everybody within reach. The captain
himselt killed one man by running
him through with his sword.
There was intense excitement at this
outrage, and the Liberty county negroes
rained ana aroyetne military company
into the cars, and opened tire on them
killing four and wounding many more
ana only stopped shooting when the
train got -out of the way, which they
tried to prevent by tearing up the track.
All the parties engaged were negroes
Testimony in the Dncr-llearn Case.
SnqwIIill, Md., June 10 On the
opening of court this morning, Judge
Wilson announced that the court had
decided to admit the prescriptions and
testimony of the druggist (Lloyd) as
tending to show the quantity of chlo
ral administered. Calvin Hughes was
recalled and testified that in the after
noon of the day of Miss Hearn's death,
he met Dr. Truitt who said Miss Ilearn
would be well in a few days and that
her wound was well. At 1 o'clock in
the evening witness heard of her death.
C. C. Lloyd, druggist, was recalled and
his testimony was that according to hu
recollection after looking over all the
prescriptions, that five ounces of chlo
ral, mixed with forty ounces of water,
went from his store to Hearn's family
between November isth and December

Call introduced a bill establishing an
additional land district in Florida, and
a life saving service at Cape Bias, Flor

The Senate then went into executive
session and afterwards adjourned.
Senator Jones, of Florida, stated this
afternoon that he voted against taking
up Coke's resolution to discharge the
finance committee from the further
consideration of the House silver bill
because after a careful canvass of votes
he believed the bill wrould fail to pass
the Senate and that its defeat would be
more injurious to the Democratic party
than its postponement for full consid
eration next December. He added that
his views heretofore expressed on the
silver question remained unchanged
and that he is entirely in favor of the
objects oi the pending bill.
House. Morrison, of Illinois, from
me committee on ways ana means, re
ported a resolution providing for the
final adjournment of Congress at 12

remarked that the House of Washing
ton's parents had disappeared, and that
nothing remained to show to posterity
where the father of his country was
born.
The Speaker asked whether there was
any objection to the joint resolution.
Air. Garheld. .None on this side, I am
sure.
There was no objection and the ioint
resolution passed.
ij-
McMahon, ot Ohio, reported back
lroin the appropriation committee the
bill making appropriations for certain
judicial expenses ot the erovernment.
it was referred to the committee of the
whole, and the House immediately
went into committee, all creneral debate
on the bill being limited to forty min
utes.
After a few remarks from Blackburn
explanatory of the bill, Garfield said he
could not vote for it. The clause re-
lerring to title 20 of the Revised
Statutes not only neglected to appro
priate but nullified the enforcement
and execution of the laws. It was only
an indirect way of doing temporarily
for one year what Congress could not
do absolutely and nermanentlv. He
also criticised the clause prohibiting the
government from incurring liabilities
lor which no appropriation has been
specifically made, saying that the pres
ent, laws command the executive to
perform duties which this bill forbid
him to perform if he thereby incurs any
na unity.
Garfield was replied to by McMahon
ot Ohio, who said that the Democrats
had uniformly voted for the appropria
tion bills and the Republicans against
them ; that what the Democrats desir
ed was to have iair and free elections.
ana to deprive the other side of the
power to put partisans at the polls. He
said his colleague Garfield had got
up a new catch-word. Awhile ago the
ineinoers oi tne majority were call
ed "revolutionists ;"now they are styled
ii umnei s.
the general debate then closed and
the committee proceeded to consider
the bill by sections. On motion of
H inley, of Ohio, art amendment was
adopted providing that the names of
jurors shall be placed in a box by the
cierK ana commissioner alternately,
without reference to party affiliations
many omer amenaments were propos-
eu out an rejectea or ruled out.
The committee then rose and the bil
was reportea to tne Mouse and passed

'-'-.i logo case.
june oponoia-jveiiogg case was re
sumed. Judge Merrick, tor Judge Spot
ford, said he had no witnesses to exam
me at present. He was entitled to two
more, and expected they would be here,
out .preferred 'not to tell waen, as they
might be captured bv tlie other aid.
He should have some documentary evi-
ueuue, urn, it,was not preparea.
iSenator.Saulsbury, chairman, said as
it. seemea probable that Congress would
adjourn at the end of this or the com
mencement of next week, he doubted
whether after adjournment a quorum
of the eommittee could be held togeth
er; therefore, it would be well to put in
an tne available testimony by that time,
Judge Shellabarger, said several of
jeiioggs witnesses are expected to
morrow; he had none to-day. ,
, It was unanimously agreed by the
committee that the affidavits heretofore
offered be admitted aa p.vidpnf
" Merrick said he would put in his doc
umentary evidence to-morrow.
. Hill called up the question 5 of paying
Jules Leveignes his witness ,fees. . TI
objected to payment on the ground that
the witness had said he had deliberately
and intentionally deceived the parties
who subpoenaed him. The committee
should protect itself and the Senate, and
do nothing that would make it conveni
ent tor any man to come here at the ex
pense of thefOYernmont and impose on
somebpdjr by testifying directly contra
ry to what he may have stated in affida
vit or otner rorm.iTnere should be pro-
ection; from jsuch imposition. -Kernan
remarked that he had never
heard of a rule to deny the payment of
the fees of a witness who had 6een sub
poenaed by the government; besides. if
pay is refused, it would be said it was
for the reason that the witness in deny
ing the truth of his ' affidavit, swore to
something different. -s .. ,
uauey remarked that this witness was
evidently a base, bad man,' and merited
the penitentiary, yet, having been sub-
poenaea py tne government, he ought to
ue paia.
Ingalls said his impression was. from
the testimony. that the witness imposed
on Spofford's attorney for the purpose
of disclosing a conspiracy, the purpose
of which was to deprive Kellogg of his
seat. If the witness had not obeyed
the subpoena he would haye been amen
able to contempt.
The chairman said the witness having
obeyed the summons of the committee,
ought to be paid.
Remarks were made by other Sena
tors, when the question was taken on
Hills motion that Leveignes be not
paid. The motion was disagreed to.
Hill and Vance onlv voting in the affir
mative,, and Kernan, Bailey, Ingalls
and Cameron in the negative. Hoar
not being present when the discussion
took plaoe, excused himself from vot-
ng. The committee adjourned till to
morrow.
