Under color of said act, and possibly

The Senate bill for Amnesty and Par-;
don came up as unfinished, business .9
Mr. McGi bee occupied the floor. He .
had no personal interest in the matter. '
No drop of his blood flawed in the
veins of any one who would be helped
or hurt by the action, of the 3 House in.
If
this matter. 1 He did, not regard this as ,
1
a political issue. . He bad been invited
to, no caucus to consider the measure.
No one had asked his views upon the
matter and he had sought those of no
one. For days after the bill had been:
introduced in . the Senate he had kept.
his lips sealed and communed within
his breast as to what his action should .
-Ll
be. He alluded to the false report, now
in circulation, as to . F A. . . Wiley, of rj
Caswell county, having confessed to one
Hester, complicity in the Stephens mur-
der. ; nAt the time 4 the gentle- ;
man from Mitchel 1 - (llu Bowman!! . if
was on yesterday depicting, with great )
vividness . and circumstantiality, ; the
scene enacted in . the murder of . this
unfortunate man, he (Mr. : McGehee.) '
had proof in his pocket that the report
was false in every particular, &c. ;
. f Mr.' McGehee then passed on to the ;
merits of the bilL He alluded to the -.,
passions engendered by the war and the ,
unsettled and. demoralized condition ..
into whirh the country, was plunged, at .
its . termination.'. He alluded to the .
numerous violations of the chastity of
virtuous femsles, -the cold blooded -murder
of Col. Nethercutt, and others,
and to the burnings of barns, dwellings : :
in various localities. . Was it strange ,
that, men should have associated them- . .
selves together to protect the honor of '
their women, and guard their property 1
against the incendiaries' torch, and
especially after it became well known
in. to what: a, stained condition the
judicial ermine of this State had fallen. '
He mentioned ', some of the vindictive '
expressions that had fallen from the lips
of Judge Tourgee, and drew a paralel
between . that officer and the blopdy
Judge Jeffries. , v
; Mr. McGehee then cited numerous
acts of amnesty in Europe, and said that
the crime sought to be amnestied by
this bill was as the unit to the millioa,
compared to the crimes covered up by
the celebrated act of amnesty of Wil- s
liam HI, of England. He appealed to
both sides of the House to pass this bill
ind bring peace and quiet to hundreds,
ot ( fire-sides, and forever bury the
wounas and wrongs of the past. He
appealed to the Democratic party to
Come up to the full measure of this lofty ,
mission ot grace and pardon, to many
not intentionally or literally criminal, '
and many who were hurried into infrac- '
tions of tne law while smarting under
cruel wrongs and denials of justice. ,;
; - Mr. Badger replied. He would favor ,
an act of general amnesty whenever it k
bould be done, in his opinion, consist- -ently
with good Order and public safety.
He tlid not think that time had yet ;
cornel . He continued at great length in
urging objections to the bill.
