SeNATOR Toombs ON THE FLoor.—Senator
Toombs is thus described by a Republican
journal:
To get an idea of the man and his speech
your readers must imagine abig obese,
swarthy looking savage—a perfect specimen ofa plantation overseer, who rolls
about with awhipin hand, wita a hoarse,
gruff voice, erdering the hands like so
many dogs, and they have a faint picture of
the Georgia Senator. Now, listen to his
roar in harsh, cracked, thick, guttural ca(lences—pitching his voice in the middle of
every seoteuce, so loud that he could be
heard all over a plantation, a league in extent; dropping it ateach end of the sentence to a conversational tone, and rattling
and jumbliog his words together so fast
and thick as to defy the swiftest phonographer to keep up, and most practical ear
. to understand all heis saying. All this
time he is swinging bis arms and head violently, and jerking about him and looking
. at Republican Senators with wrathfal visage.
