DAWES ON THE MASSCHUSETTS MAN PERSE- CUTED IN THE SOUTH. Mr. Dawes, alluding to the statement made by him some days ago as to the persecutioa of Massachueetts man in Mississipp!, sald that the story of that gentleman was to-day printed in Massachusetts papers. That story cor- roborated his statement in every particular, except as to locality. The incidents had hap- pened in the — of Caldwell, in Louisiana, and not in issippl, as he had stated. Tac gentleman’s name was Charles Heath. He (Dawes) asked that the gentleman’s statement as published in the papers should be printed in the Record. Mr. Jonas demanded the reading of the arti- cle, and It was read by the clerk. ‘It relates to the persecutions to which Mr. Heath state3 that he was subjected to in Louisiana because he was & Yankee, anc gives accounts of variou3 murders committed there to show thecondition of society in that state, SENATOR JONAS NEVER HEARD OF THE CASE BE- FORE: Mr, Jonas said that the Senator from Mass. had transferred the scene of his cock and ball story from Mississipp! to Louisiana, When it ‘was contradicted in one locality it would prob- ably be translated to Texas or Georgia. He heard of these alleged persecutions now for the frst time. There was nothing in the article which showed that Heath had been persecuted 0B account of his political opinions. He called attention to the fact that the outrages alluded to had been committed nine. years ago. He would make some remarks upon the subject when he could get some information from the locality. He sent tothe Clerk’s desk and had read, for the purpose of showing that murders and robberies were not confined to the south- erm states, an account of the killing of one of the Foster brothers in Massachusetts while committing a burglary.

Mr. Frye said that being the youngest mem- ber of the Senate, perhaps a reasonable degrea of modesty shdifid have Kept him silent, and he had fully intended to keep silencetind act as a “looker on in Venice;” but he found that unex- Pectedly he would be obliged to leave on Sat- urday for a protracted absence, snd there were some things which yet remained to be sald. Mr. Frye compared the schoel statistics of southern and northern states to show that Massachu- getts, Rhode Island and other northern states, even including Colorado, make araple provision. for public education; that some of the northern States put restrictions od the ballot, but at the same time they furnish educational facili- tes forall, Mr. Frye took up aremark In a recent speech of Mr. Call, that the factory op- eratives of the north were ground down aud Starved. Hesald the workmen of the north were free and educated, walle the labor of the South had been ground down by one hundred years of slavery and are in the darkness of ignorance. It the white workingmen of the Dorth had been in the south, they couid never have been bulldozed or intimidated; they were white freemen, and it would have been a differ- ent thing to draw a shotgun on them from drawing it on the poor ignorant slaves, He denied that the republicans had in any wise endorzed repudiation: he would that repu- diation found no abiding place in New Eng- land. He took up the subject of repudiation in the south; referred to Mr. Vance’s recent ‘speech denying that North Carolina had repu- lated her debt, and reviewed the several re- Tunding operations showing that each one cut down the tepa e and interest until after years of waiting the holder could not now get one-half of his original investment. Mr. Frye referred to the declaration of democrats that outrages are not committed now in the south. He said he intended to select a few specimen bricks froma number of outrages he had in hand, and he would-give names, dates, ec. He first declared that in the. pending contest of Brisbee against Finley, the proceedings have had to be stopped because rapublican witnesses have been intimidated and driven away.
