WILLIAMfS SKINN~ED HEYBURN Plea to Keep "Jim" Jones, Jefferson Davis' Bodyguard, on Pay Roll, Is Carried. "The ~Was2,igton Post contains the the following detailed account bf the Williams-Hleyburn clash: The senate for two hours discuss ed, and then killed, a resolution re-1 ported by its recent patroage commit-' tee abolishing five places that some 'body thought were filled by superan nuated employees, who gave no ade quate service for the pay they receiv-1 ed The discussion was heated at itimes, particularly -vihen Mr. Heyburn -undertook to fight the civil war over again. and roused the anger and re -.entment of John Sharp Williams. A characterization of the Confeder --v a. an -"infamous cause" by Mr.' Heyburn brought bitter rebuke from the Mississippian. "As the son of a man who gladly gave his life to a cause that he thought was right, I am not willing to hear a civilized man in this twentieth cen tury call it an infamous cause," said Mr.. Willimas. "But for the parlia mentary rules that restrain me. I would have a few words to say abcut the kind of human being in whos, heart such thought can exist." Of the five places sought to be abol ished, one was held by "Jim" Jones, the 82-year-old negro who had been Jefferson Davis' bodyguard. rIe is on the senate's pay roll as a laborer, but has not done any work for too years. A colored miessenger is in the same category. The three other cases were those of men who were r ularlyf employed, one of them in an expert ca pacity. who has been identified wi?a the senate for upward of 40 years. It was in connection with "To." Jones' case that John Sharp Willian, scught to reverse the action of the day be fore when the resolution was agreed pro forma. Williams Pleads for Jones. "I do not know,' said Mr. Williams, "that I have anything to urge in his b4half except a sentiment. Among all of the magnificent attributes of the human race I think Tom Carlyle was right in saying that loyalty was the greatest of them all-loyalty to a county, to a State, to a cause, to a leader, to a man, loyalty to something. It is not peculiarly one of our vir tues. This old darky possessed it in a very high degree. He is very old now, I believe pretty nearly 80 years of age. "They say that he has done no work for about two years, or very little. I have no doubt that is true. But, Mr. President, you do not always compen sate by present service for what you are receiving. If character and past services cannot help up superfluity to be credited to present service in old age, sometimes the world would be rather a bad place to live in. Here is, for example, the senator from Maine, (Mr. Frye,) and in my time I have known many more. Who is there who would have called upon Morgan or ettus, of Alabama, or the senator rom-'Maine, or anybody else, to resign ecause they could not render each lay a priesent service for a present ~molument? "Mr. President, this old darky was oyal as a slave to Jefferson Davis, f Mississippi. That loyalty might ave been accounted for by the facti hat it niay be it was the part of pol ~cy of the slave's position. But when reedom came he was loyal still, loy il to the man who had been his master, rho had never said a cross word to Itim or laid upon him a blow. He fol owed him voluntarily as his body uard. He went with him to Fort donroe. He went into the cell there ith him, and when, old, emaciated, rokel down by four years of ner ous tension and public service, the ld master was seized and shackled, his old darky was there. "A great many of us in Mississippi nd throughout the South feel a Aebt f gratitude to this old darky. I can-' ot urge any logical reasons for what Iam asking upon the ground of his' eing able to render a quitd pro quo. t may be that he will never be able o render efficient service. But, I epeat, is it not tru that there are I thers, and many others, in the same fix? And if that be true, then I have aright, I think, to go out of facts alittle bit and appeal to historical entiment." Mr. Penrose said he was in full ympathy with Mr.; Williams, and in ended to vote for 'his motion. Penrose With Williams. I "It seems to me," said Mr. Penrose, that the proposition has got down' ow to merely one of the cheese-par ng variety. The senate roll is notI he only roll of the government where uperannuated employees are retained nd I take it that no one, whether out f kindness of heart or an apprecia on of past services, vould desire to e brutal in the treatment of superan ua ted employees."
