REASONFOR
THE LEE BILL
Offered to Cemept Frlcndshlp
' of North and South.
THEY STRONGLY FAVOR IT
Senators Wickham and Harrpan Make
Ringing Addresses for Placing a
Statue of General Lee in
Statuary Hall.
Two great speeches were made In the
Senate yesterday in favor ot the Halsey
bill proVIrilng for ploclng a statue of
General Robert E. X*e in the' Statuary
Hall In the Capitol at Washington. One
was dellvered by Mr. Wickham and the
other hy Mr. Harman, the one a Demo
crat, the other a Republlcan.
Mr. Wickham is the oldest Senator ln
polnt of servlce,
He Is always llstunod to with the cloaest
attcntlon, for he never spcaks unloss he
has somethtng Interesting to say.
The debate of the day before had
aroused'great Interest, but lt remalned
for Mr. Wickham to "clinch" the ar
gumentfl In favor of the measure. He
never made a greater improsslon upon
an audience ln hls llfe. Whlle he was
speaklng not a Senator left hls seat.
Each one stopped readlng or wrltlng. All
conversation ceased. When Mr. Wick?
ham had concluded hls address, the Sen?
ate chamber rang out with applause, even
the pages jolning In. The Lleutenant-Goi'
ernor could hardly restraln hlmself, and
came very nearly Jolning In the hand
clapplng, ev*in though ho occupicd the
presidlng offlecr's chair.
MR. HAJtMAN'S ADDRESS.
When Mr. Wickham had taken hls seat,
Mr. Harman was recognlzed. To foliow
Buchja man a.*? the Senator from Hanover,
and such a speech as he had mnde, waa
no easy taek. but when tho Tazewcll Sen?
ator, one of the new members, tall, rath?
er sp.irely bullt, with a flowlng mustache
and attired ln the garb of a clergj'man.
commeneed hls remarks, another hush
fc-ll over the body. Not a word was
spoken by any one.sace by the Senator
who was addresslng the body. Mr, Har?
man recelved. at the close of hls remarks.
an ovation that almost equalled that ac
corded Mr. Wickham.
After the bill had been made the spe?
clal contlnulng order for next Thursday.
the Senate Immediately adjourncd. There
Is hardly a shadow of doubt that the
bill wlll pass.
WHY ACT WAS OFFERED.
Mr. Halsey wlshes it to be understood
that his bill was not offered with a
purpose, or with the object of offending
the Northern peoplo, but. on the con
trary, in ,-a, splrlt of reconcillatlon of the
two formerly dlvlded sections of the coun?
try. The best people of the North. and
the great majorlty of them. he Is eon
vlnced, mean what they say when they
profess frlendshlp for the South. Give
Just. prals'e to the Southern heroe-s, and
manifest a deslre to let past dlfferences
be forgotten.
WICKHAM'S FINE ADDRESS.
Mr. Wickhnm's splemlld address was
as follows:
Mr. Presldent:
?' I reallze thnt there is a possiblllty
or mlsconstruing the vote that wlll
bo cast upon the questlon of the pas
snge of the pending bill which has
as Its ultlmato purpose the plaeing ot a
statue of General Lee in the Capitol at
Washington. This mlsconstruction may
bo made by those who profess to see a
valiiglorlous offort to ihrust upon a slt?
uation the representativo of ideas out
of harmony and inconslstent with the
leadlng rnotive of the place; and It may
also be made by those on the other hand
who do not deslre to see an Idollzed
.sentiment tlnd expresslon where lt may
be exposed to insult and contumely.
Were 1 to uct upon my own una'ded
judgrnent. I mlght porhaps have deemed
it unwlpe to have lnaugurated thls
movement at this time. 'But lu the llght
of informatlon, opinlons and cxpresslons
of others, I seo my way clearly now
to.glve thls bill the support of my yoto
and In order that my vote may not ..o
mlsunderstood 1 deslre to present to tho
Senate tho roasuns which impel me to
this vote. '
I shall not uttempt uny eulogy upon
the llfe and pharactc'r of Genoral Leo
nny moro tlinn 1 should nttompt to eu
loglse nny of the dlvlnely appolnted
leavlers of tlie chosen people, whose hls?
tory I was taught at my mother's knee.
Every Sbutheriier has that same rever
entlal feellng towards Genoral Lee.
I am not impolled hy any feellng of
vanlty whntsoever. whether it may ho
terrnod laudahle or olherwlse, of vanlty
ellher of General Leo or to exalt tho
South, And on the other hand, neltlier
am I Impelled by any deslre to thiust
upon tho North that whlch may bo ob
Jectinnalile to the sentlmonts of some of
them.
I do not thlnk tho word "vanlty" ls a
flt word In the presenco of thls discus?
sion, whlch is ocourrlng not only horo
in the Senate of V(rglnla, but ln the
hroatler forum of tho oplnion of tho peo?
ple of theso L'nltod Stntos.
NO FRRWNG OF BEVRNGE.
1 know tlie feellnprs of rnncor and ro
vengo aro absopt froni the hearts of nll
tight-mlnded people, North ns well as
Scuith, und I do not bolleve that the few
misguiderl fnnntlcs who are nttemptlng

to succeed.
1 do not b'aso my vote upon tho legal
rlght of Vlrglnln tn solect whom sho wlll
of nll her sons, nlthnugh I nm sntistled
fully ln ray'nwn mlnd ns to hor full and

But I shall cast tny voto now for thls

The Campbell Case to Come,
Up Again Next Tuesday.
LONG SIEGE LOOKED FOR
Many Witnesses to Be Examined on
Behalf of Judge Campbell?Spicy
Cross-Examination Seems
to Be Certain.
The cruxtaln wlll rlse for another act
la tho Campbcll-Crawford drama on
Tuesday next at 10 o'clock A. M? when
the HouBe Committeo for Courts of Jua
tlce wlll meet to resumo the consldara
tlon of the case.
It wlll roqulre but a ahort whllo for
the prosecutlon to complete the taktng
of Its teatlmony under the recent rull.ig
of the commlttee. and by. Wednesday.
Judgo Lovlng and Messrs. Strode and
Brown wlll have rested thelr case,-ar.d
the examlnatlon of Judgo Carripbell's
wltnessea wlll be taken up.
Mr. Strode has recently asked on be?
half of hlmself and his associatea that
they be allowed to lntroduce elght or ten
more witnesses before the defenBe be
glns the case, but the commlttee haa'
denled the request, and declded to ad
here to Ita orlglnal rullng, whlch waa to
allow the lntroductlon of the throo or
four witnesses already summoned for tho
proseoutlon, who failed to arrlve In tlme"
to go on the stand at the last alttlng
of the commlttee.
Forty witnesses have been summoned
for Judge Campbell. and as soon aa the
prosecutlon resta, whlch wlll not be later
than Wednesday, they wlll be examined.
Chalrman Southall thinks the case may
be completed next weok, but thlB Is not
the pppti'lar vlew, for ln addltion to tho
forty witnosses a-fready called for Judgo
Campbell, he wlll ? bo glven aa many
mora as he may deslre. lt ls sold tnm
hls entlre llst will embrace somethlng
llke seventy-flve, and If thls be triie. tho
end of the Investigation is by no means
fn slirht.
A MATTER OF INTEREST.
Much Interest is conterlng upon the
probable aotlon of Judge Campbell ln tho
matter, and" It Is tlie general presump
tlon that. he wlll at some stago of tho
tnn.ulryta.ke the stond In hls own behalf,
though ho has not yet ofllclally indicated
that.ho. would do so.
The . cross-examtnatlon of the wit?
nesses for the .defense Is expected to con
stltule a. v.ery-sptcy part of the lnvea
tlgatloji, and Messrs.. Loving and Strode
aro expected to follow the example set
them?Dy.Major Conrad and go after those
put upon-.tho stand.ln a soarchlng and
vlgorous ? manner.
There seenis to be somo confusion
nmong the publlc regardlng the status
of the case. Somo entertaln the bellef
that Judge Campbell ls now upon trlal
and that the action of the Judlclary
Committeo wlll determlne hls right to
the offlco of judgo of the County Court
of Amherst. Thls ls fnr from true. Tho
functlon of tho commlttee undor tho res?
olutlon passed by tho House ls slmply
to ascortaln by tho cxamlnn.tlon ot wit?
nesses whether the oase is one of whlch
tho Legislature should tako ofllclal no?
tlce, and lf thls questlon shall be detcr
mlned ln tho afflrmntlve and the report
of the committeo Is adopted by the House,
then that body wlll sottle upon a mode
of proceduro agalnst Judge Campbell
?two of-whlch nro provlded by tho Con?
stltutlon?and proceed to investlgato lnto
the cliargos made ln the report of the
^committeo, wlth the viow to Impeaeh
ment or removal by jolnt resolutlon,
should tha report of the committeo bo
advorse to Judge Campbell and be sus
talned by the Leglslaturo.
HOW IT MAY END.
On the othor liand, thero aro sovoral
elinneos that tho case may end hofor
