"TO lELL WIihl THE LAW!" Senator Tillmia a Exllaits and Justities -Soie Oli Utteralnces of Ills. A friend of mine has called Iny attention to the editorial :aliea e inl The Stin, "Hlen 'lillnlan Rleconsiders." I am led to write this letter in conse q(uence, and hope you will print it on the editorial page. For years I was a regular subscriber to The Sun, and -occas.Ona!!y I buy a copy now. Its editorial p'ige 'as always interested we very niuch, because of the brillian cy and lucidity of the articles with 'which it is fisted. But you have inih'tentionally been Jed into .in error of fact, and the qluotations you make from the speech es and lecturcs I delivered some years ago led nte to explain and justify what 1 said. When I sind ' "T'I hell with the law" 1 meant the L ieonastruetion acts which .ga-e iero.s : tt etancipated fromn sl. very -nany of wloiu only one gen er:;tion rnoved froin barbarism, and ilone of them litore 'hanl three genera tions-the samte right to vote as white men throughout the 1'nited Stales. When you retitner that South Caro lina and Mississippi then, as they do -now, had large negro maajorities-and to have allowed the negroes to rule would have destroyed our civilization, to say (nothing of our liroperty--you can understand it. The law of self lpreservation comtpelled us, to do it by every e(nans possible, and when we took the Staite away froi the bay onets, with Grant in the White Ilouse, we used our brains to outwit force by stuffing hallot boxes. 'htat is all. If the South had obeyed or aetluieseed In the "law" passed by ('olgress it would be a Veritable hell now for Ie 'c'nt white pelople to live in. and that fact is now recognized bIy alt sensible pe ople, northi and soutlh. I justitlied lynchling, in the 8enate', for rape, anld rape onlly, and I alit taking the liberty of sending you tity speech iade on that o(nasiont. It wai. in answer to it "i ted .lohnt ('.

You are in error in saying that I was '"ettuiescing in the hill for the const r uctloll of the .1leinorial Atiphi 1heatre at Arlington, a naeasurae which I had been previously inclined to op pose,' showing that you yourself did mlot read all ily speech, and did not read the letters of the Secretary of War at all. The hill I introduced was inot for the "'constreetion" of a iinein orial am hlilitheate, but "lor the pro tection of the amphitheatre against the indiscriminate erection of ialel orials to those who may he selected for such distinction without well fouded reasons, to use the words of the See retary of \Var.
