Mr. Cox replied to Mr. Smalls, aud quoted from a book written by Mr. Pike, late min ister to the Hague, entitle’ “A Prostrate State—South Carolina under a Negro Gov erpment,” and in which the members of the legislature are characterize! as “highwa: men,” ‘‘professioval legislative robbers, avd “pickpockets, who, under the law. rob poor and rich alike” He spoke of the book &s “a revelation of the blackness of darkness in robbery and rascality.” Mr. Smails asked Mr. Cox whether he had ot a book of the history of the cily of New ork? [Laughter on the ublic&D side.) Mr. Cox replied that he balonged to that portion of the democratic pariy which had driven out the rascals from New York, and asked why they bad not done the same in South Carolina. (Applause ou the demo- cratic siae } Mr. Lamar spoke of the Hamburg affairas terrible and disgraceful, but he denied that its clreumstances were & legitimate topic of debate in the House. There were one or two facts, however, that gleamed out Indispata- ble.

He deemed it a wonder that society, under ey of governments which allowed such lawlessness to stalk abroad in the land, did not go to eo In reply to Mr. Conger’s argument on jast Saturday, he declared the use of the army bad never produced any good effect in such cases. The ~g always got there after the occurrence. Tne use of military power was an instrument that was ineffective, cumbersome, slow and almest useless; and, in spite of the good faith of army officers, it bad been coustracted into a monstrous engine of political oppression and corrupt intrigae. It was the duty of Gov. Coameriain at once to adopt measures swift and vigorous to bring to justice those who shot down these prisoners in coid blood, and if he did gbat he would receive his (Mr. La- mar’s) support and If, instead of doing so, however, Governor Chemberiain rushes to Washington for the purpose of mekipg this cecurrence the foundation for fanaticism and strife, he will not stop that disorder. Arkansas was an illustration for the last two years of the advantages of good government under @ firm and intelligent man, Gov. Garland. In conciusion he de- clared that the occurrence at Hamburg was @ mobilific element, not sporadic, but unnat- ural, and one that would disappear under goed government. .The debate was further continued by Mr. Kasson, Mr. Hartridge, Mr. Hale, and Mr. jackey.
