The Dramatic Incidents of a Great Life Sumner Eulogized and Conkling The Champion and the Idol of the South-Congressman Senator. Cabinet Officer and Justice. BY L. L. KNIQHT.

Rince the days of the lion-hearted Rich. IJd no one has exemplified the chivalry of that ulustrlous prince la a more super dgre thaa Lueius Q. C. Lamar. Without the vices however which marred the character of Richard and dimmed the luster or his achievements la the holy land Lamar Was' fh embodiment of alt those vir tus whkh btlong to polished knighthood and which made t4in the cherished idol of his people.

Even the bitterness of party wrangles could not disturb the temper of his speech but when he found it necessary to rebuke his adversaries he did to with a trace of diction that silenced reply and made him twice a. victor. Never has this country witnessed such a. combination of genius heroism grace and generosity as that presented In the life of this lamented son of Georgia. Though Mississippi was tJi.

tome of his ntaturer years-the state which he represented In the councils of the nation anti with which his JUNr L. C. LAMAR OP GEORGIA. Brother of Mlrabeau and Father or Justice Lamar. was was the cradle or his ancestors the hone of his birth and of his boyhood.

Here lived his grandfather John Lamar. whose ashes deep at the old homestead in Putnam county. At Milledgeville Ga. on the banks or the Oonea. a simple.

unpretentious shaft marks the last resting place of his father. who Illustrated Georgia on the bench. In Lincoln county not far from the Savannah river. sleep two of his kinsmen Peter Lamar and LaFayette Lamar. Other members of the family repose at Macon.

Savannah and Atlanta. Though Georgia regrets that her gtfted son is not permitted to sleep with Ms tethers in the soil of this state she resigns him. cheerfully to Mississippi knowing- fr he cherished the state of his I adoption and that over his ashes she will I keep a. loving and' tender vigil. There la ome consolation too.

in the hot that i after a loos and useful career he found hi3 way back to Georgia and closed his I yes among' tie familiar scenes of his I boyhood. Ever since his death the peo- Die of this state have been anxious for some one who possessed the proper quail. to the task which devolved upon hint not only the ripe acquirements of the scholar but' the close insight of personal friendship end domesthj association. Every Phase of Justice Lamar's character as displayed in the forum of public service and the cloistered retreat of his home life in Mississippi is given by the author in all the details of Intimate acquaintance without the bias or reserve which might be expected of one who. enjoyed such a.

close and cordial relationship with the deceased. There Is nothing pretentious In the style which the author has adopted. In language pure but unassuming ho has told the story of a great life satisfied with making himself simply a pen and allowing that life. In all its colossal grandeur to be its own biographer. Justice Lamar embodied wtthtn himself both the grace and gallantry peculiar to the cavalier.

If he knew the meaning of the word tear he never betrayed it In his outward bearing. Dignified yet easy to approach and ready to lay aside his reserve at a. moments notice gentle In disposition yet bold in enterprise and Quick. to resent a wrong. Justice Lamar.

in these respects resembled the Lion-hearted Richard. But associated with these qualities there was something or a. dreamy atmosphere about him which gave him the typical appearance of a poet. Though he made but slight pretense in this direction. he nevertheless possessed a poets soul Ills eulogy of Charles Sumner may be cited.

as a splendid exemplification of those poetic Instincts by which he was otUnies governed. That eulogy' brought him at once tub national fane as a medl. ator between the sections. Scarcely ten years had elapsed since the war tint the embers of hate were still burning when he made use or that noble sentiment My countrymen know one another and you will love one another. Later on the rebuke which he administered to ConklJng served to advance his reputation still further and to make him a.

sun greater ruz- zle to the ration. In ep akuvg of his great Sumner speech the lamented R. W. Patterson of Macon. said at the time of Lamar's death His eloquence was the Applan way through whi the banished cohorts of the confederacy pasted tack Into the hearts of the republic.

These are beautiful words. but no less beautiful than true. Scarcely below this tribute Is that other felicitous expression from the same lamented source In the silken glove of courtesy he always carried the iron grip of honor. On the let of March 1279 a resolution was Introduced in the senate or the United States to the effect that no pension should ever be paid to Jefferson Davis' for his services In the war of 1812. Among those who took part In the discussion were Senators Bailey or Tennessee Hoar.

of Massachusetts Garland of Arkansas Shields of Missouri. Maxey of Tstas and Thurman. of Ohio. In his last speech Senator Hoar the author of the resolution said The senator from Arkansas alluded to the courage which this gentleman had shown In battle and I do not deny It. Two of the bravest officers of our revolutionary war were Aaron Burr and Benedict Arnold.

Mr. Lamar who had hitherto been a si lent Observer of these proceedings was no longer ei le to retain his seat. The senator from Massachusetts had scarcely closed his Ups before Lamar. impelled by a. like Impulse took the floor.

His eyes flashed tire and every feature pf his face indicated that he was swayed by some powerful emotion. Mr President. said he speaklnr with suppressed indignation it is with ex tteme reluctance that I rise' to say a GEN.

from the pl of Dr. EdJward Mayes. ex-chancellor of the University or Mississippi. Dr. Yayes has performed his task wen.

With hint the preparation of the volume ties been a labor of love. Being a. member f- of Justice Lamar's own household. barm VXLrfd his eWest daubtc. its toootht word upon this subject I must confess my surprise and regret that the senator from Massachusetts should have wantonly without provocation flung this Insult.

At this point Mr. Edwards who we. In the chair called the speaker to. order by saying that he could not impute wanton- ness or Insult to a member of the senate. I staad corrected.

said Mr. Lamar. It is perfectly in order for certain senators to Insult other senators. but they cannot be characterized by those who receive the blow. Here the presiding officer rapped again The observations of the senator from Mississippi in the opinion of the chair are not to order.

To thia Mr. Lmr replied Ths ob servations of the senator from Mississippi in his own opinion are not only in order. but perfectly and olutely true. At this point Mr. Lamar was to sit down.

Some one appealed from the decision or the chair which appeal was sustained. Mr. Lamar was then Wed to proceed. Explaining why It was that he regarded the language of the senator from Massachusetts as insulting he said 4 What I meant by that remark was this- Jefferson Davis stands in precisely the same position that I stand in and that every southern man who believed in the right of a state to secede stands In. LUCIUS Q.

C. LAMAR 0 MISSISSIPPI SOLDIER STATESMAN JURIST. After a. brief Interruption Yr Lamar continued The only difference between myself and Jefferson Davis Is that his exalted charac- tar. his re talents his well- established patriotism as II.

statesman as a patriot and as a soldier enabled him to take the lead in a cause to which I consecrated myself and to which every fiber or nay heart responded. There was no distinction between Insult to him and the southern people. except that he was their chosen leader and they. his enthusiastic followers and there has been no difference since. The effect of the senators language is to fix upon this aged tuna this man broken in fortune suffering from bereavement.

an epithet of odium and imputation of moral turpitude. See it required no courage to do that It required no magnanimity to do It. It required no courtesy. It only required hate bitter malignant sectional feeling and a. sense or personal impunity.

The gentleman I believe takes rank among Christian statesmen. He might have learned a. better lesson even from the pages of mythology. When Prometheus was hound to the rock it was not an eagle it WWI a vulture that burled his beak in the tortured vitals of the victim. This magnificent rebuke is regarded as the finest specimen of legislative retort in existence.

Hoar was completely silenced. After this Mr. Lamar sent a. letter to the desk from Mr. Davis which he requested the secretary to read.

In title letter Mr. Davis urged that his name be withdrawn tram the list of those who were entitled to pensions by reason or their services in the war of 12. He did not wish to have comrades suffer by having their names on the same list with his own. This ended the debate. Mr.

Lamar's peech became the topic of discussion in all parts of the country. IDs own people were drawn closer toward him. while even those at tie north could not restrain the admiration. which they felt for the gifted senator. A letter from Mr.

Davis expressed the gratitude or the writer for tile brld and courageous manner in which he bad undertaken his defense. Two or three da after the debit a wt narrated Mr. Elaine ventured to pJcl3h Lamaz for his Insolence but he found that mar was snore than a. snatch for The next senatorial victim of Mr. La- mars eloquence was Rose Conkllng of New York.

Though a. man of pronounced ability. Conkling was somewhat overbearing in his dtsposltron and his rnannr was offensive even to the members of his own party. Consequently in his famous tilt with the senator from Mississippi he failed to derive any consolation except from a few personal friends One or two of these advised him to challenge tmar but knowing that Lamar was a man of fighting proclivities sod having good reason to believe that a challenge would be accepted by him these friendly suggestions were not regarded by the New Tech senator. The' newspapers of the country discussed the affair at some length.

giving Lamer the credit for having punished the senatorial popinjay in a manner worthy of his insolence. Of all the senators who were present at the tune of this passage between Lamar and COnkUng no one nJoyed the Utter confusion mere. than Elaine. Oh saU tf tIOflC the steps of tte capital. yH wasriclujl 4ontsthlnkjlstYer saw Conklings wattles quite so red.

The crossing of swords came up In this Way When the time arrived for the discussion of what was known as the army bill. a measure in which the democrats were Interested but which. tile republicans were anxious to defeat by unfair methods Mr. Lamar asked for the privilege of taking up a. bill to create' a Mississippi river commission which he promised would not occupy more than twenty minute There was Bome sobjection as the republicans were anxious to filibuster but' the consent of the body was finally- obtained As soon as the twMty minutes expired the army bill was taken up and then followed one of those protracted sittings which sometimes result.

from filibustering tactics. The days session was prolonged until noon or the next day. About midnight a. wrangle occurred between Senators Elaine and Saulsbury in which the latter charged. the for.

met and his party with obstructing legislation. Conkllrg participated in this debate and among other things charged Lamar and other democratic senators with having acted In bad faith with the republican minority. In closing he. said While I re. main a member of this body no minority shall be gagged.

down or throttled or in suited by such a proceeding as this. I say Mr. President and I measure my assertion that it was an act not only insulting but an act of bad faith. As soon as Conkling took his seat mar was recognized. After explaining his con.

necUon with the bill under consideration. he added. With reference to the charge of bad faith which the senator from New York has Intimated. toward those of us who have been opposing these motions to ad- burn I have only to say that if I am not superior to such attacks from such a source I have lived In vain. It Is not my habit to indulge in personalities but I desire to say here to tile senator that in in UmaUng anything Inconsistent.

as he has done. with perfect good faith. I pronounce his statement a falsehood which I repel with all the unmitigated contempt which I feel for the author of it Applause on the democratic side and in the galleries. Conkling arose from his seat and endeavor to create the impression that he was otherwise engaged and might possibly have misunderstood the senator from Mississippi. So much of the language as he did hear was insulting alike both to him and to the senate.

Nothing but respect for the senate would prevent him from denouncing La. mar as a blackguard and a. coward. This speech was greeted with applause by a few tit the republican members. Lamar then took the floor and In a manner perfectly calm cad self-possessed said Mr President I have only to say that the senator from New York understood me correctly.

I did mean to ay Just precisely the words and all that they imported. I beg pardon or the senate for the mentary language. It was very harsh was very severe it was such as no good man would deserve and no brave man would wear. Applause on the floor anc In the galleries. Coukling was completely answered.

In conslJaraUon of the language us every one expected that Lamar would receive a challenge indeed Lamar himself shared this expectation but none was ever celvad Conkling never ruffled the feathers of Lamar again nor did any of the other republican members of the senate. In speaking of Lamar at this time William Preston Johnson made use of the following language Among the democratic senators the man wish most Interests puzzles and. influences the northern mind Is Lucius Qulntus Cincinnatus Lamar of Mississippi He is by all odds the most picturesque figure In the senate. The popular Imagination dwelling on certain- phases of his character riot commonplace has converted him into a political sphinx. The Lamar are Huguenot in origin.

The fatal dowry of genius was on that house. AU that came forth from It felt its touch. Its inspiration its triumphs and some share or its wretchedness Mirnbcau B. Lamar is known as the second president of the Texas republic. as the soul of chivalry on the battlefield as the- Impassioned orator of the Texas revolution as a large-hearted gifted unhappy lamented son of the routh.

Senator. Lunar Is lit five fret nine Inches in height heavy set. with handsome feet and hands. IDs features are regular but rather. massive with brown hair and pointed beard and heavy eyebrows over clear gray brilliant eyes.

When he entered the house it' was still the correct role for the radical patriot to perform on the floor of the house the melodrama. of The Rebellion Crushed. with Immense applause. Lamar administered some of the most effective rebukes received by this spurious patriotism. At the same time he hasi Conceded to the national sentiment as much' it was possible for any sovthern man to do.

Re la taken a position which say waa would Jan failed who lacked et itacoaYlctas' the confidence of. life constituents. has maintained it because of the southern est mate of isis statesmanship and integrity. sun another phase of Mr. Lamar's character is found in the following piece newspaper gossip Beneath Mr.

Lamar's quiet and dreamy exterior one would not recognize the tact that he was a. man of passionate nature and that at one period of his life he was devoted to athletic sports. He was a splendid swordsman and was likewise skillful in the use of the gloves. He was always' happy to take up the tolls. with any on who was skilled In fencing and at on time he was possessed of Wonderful physical strength.

His arms and shoulders were almost as solid as those of a prize fighter. Those who. have only considered him as dreamy and scholarly would ban bun surprised It they could have seen Mr. Lamar behind a foil. He had great agility and vigilance anti he often crossed swords with professional teachers of fencing and rarely could one of them touch.

him with the button. In speaking of Mr. Lamar's fighting qua itles Dr. Mayes says In theory Mr. La- mar was a duellistt la practice he never fought one.

Standing upon the strictest punctilio of the code of honor. so that occasionally figured as a. referee in affairs of that nature his career was a signal example of that working of. the code which its better advocates insist upon for its justification-a a tendency to heal quarrels rather than to Inflame them. He never.

acted as a. econd in a duel and in early life formed a resolution to which he always adhered and sometimes under very trying Circumstances that he never would do so. In speaking of tie Lamar family Dr. Mayes says There is a tradition among the Lamere of Georgia that their family was of Huguenot origin and was planted in Maryland by tour brothers who fled from France in the celebrated exodus consequent upon the revocation of the edict of Nantes in 1685. In tact this report is probably correct but there are public records still extant which shoW that the Georgia tradition is incomplete and.

in details. erroneous. The author goes on to show that the La- mars came to Georgia. several years before the edict of Nantes at the invitation Blame. Edmunds.

Among the children by this marriage were Lucius Qulntus dnclnnatus Thomas Randolph Mlrabe Bonaparte tad Jefferwn Jackson besides tour daughters. John Lamar had the rare good fortune of seeing two of his' sons achieve distinction. Of these Mtrabeau.

la the midst of these honors however he suddenly' died at the early ago of thirty- seven. leaving a wife and' several children among whom was L. Q. Lamar. Jr.

LvcIII3 Qumt1JS clncinnatus Lamar was born at the old Lamar homestead' In Put- Earn county Georgia. on the 17th. of. September. Much of his.
