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."
