Dawesattributed it to Mississippi throngh misinformation. Mr. Jonss replied in d=fensa of the people of Caldwell parish, where the outrage wes eald to have taken place. He eaid there wes nothing to show that the crime alluded to had any po- 1i quificance, or differed mteri- ally from what might have occarred in auy other state.

He also wondered at the bravery of the senator from Flor ids talking about the poor and stacy- ing mill operatives of Massachusetts, when the operatives of that stato had money enough in tho siyings banks to buy up Florida’s real and personal property and have fitty wil- lion dollars left.” But the bravest one of all was the sena or from North Carolina, when he darcd to say that his stato never repudiated any of i debt. He then entered upon a com- parison of the freedom of the ballot north and eouth, se ecting what he called a few specimen bricks from the court records toshow eliction outrages in Florida and other states,and stat, isfranchisemen'. incidents in Florida, Carolina snd Texas, tho re- peciive senators of those states jumped up and and asked for the evi- dence. Mr. Frye referred them one and all to the judisial reports which he had consulted. The debate continued, during which alively tilt occurred batween Barn- side aud Butler.
