A Bit of History—Who Brought on
the War ?
Upon the part of our Northern brethren,
more especially those who control the
Press, It has been popular to charge the
South with the initiation of active hostili
ties between the two sections. The firing
upon Fort Sumter, and the indignity to the
“old flag” have been put forth as the causes
lyhich induced the North to fly to arms
with alacrity.
We of the South have met this charge
with the counter one, that Lincoln was but
clay in the hands of the potters, and that
the potters were Morton and others, then
Governors of the North Western States. We
have said that the counsels of the Border
(States Peace Convention were unheeded,
and the appeals put forth by that
body for a peaceful adjustment of pending
differences were treated with unjustifiable
contempt. Further, we have alleged that
the bad faith of Secretary Seward to Judge
Jno. A. Campbell, and his equivocal diplo
macy with the Peace Commissioners of the
Confederate States, precipitated a calamity
that, might have been avoided, if the voice
of reason had been heard. No arbiter has
yet arisen to decide this marked difference
of opinion, and the point involved must be
left to the enlightened judgment of man
kind, when the participants in the late strife
have passed from the stage, and the pas
sions engendered by the great drama have
died away with those who aronsed them
and gave them life. But almost every day
contributes something toward clearing up
the true history of the causes of the civil
strife which will always occupy so promi
nent a place upon the page of history.
The latest contribution comes from the
Cincinnati Enquirer, a journal, before the
war, devoted to the political fortunes of the
late Senator Douglass. For thisreason its
utterances on its own side must be taken
with full weight. It charges that the split
jn the Charleston Convention was the ac
tive, moving cause which brought on the
war ; and it further asserts that that split
was produced by a piece of parliamentary
legerdemain, in which Mr. Vallnndigham
was an innocent actor.
It will be remembered that Mr. Caleb
CushiDg was the President of the Charles
ton Convention, and it may not be forgotten
that Mr. Benjamin Butler, his colleague
from Massachusetts, voted in that Conven
some sixty odd times for Jefferson Davis,
late President of the Southern Confederacy.
We give the history of the affair in the
language of the Enquirer. In the course of
the article referred to, it says: “The con
vention, although close, contained a small
majority of Mr. Douglass’ friends. They
could adopt their platform if they could get
a vote upon it. But how to do so was the
point. Cushing would not give any man
the floor whom lie suspected of an Inten
tion to move the previous question. Thus
the debate went on altogether upon one
side, and the convention bid fair to last for
weeks, if not for months. The funds of
many of the Northern men were giving out.
Western whiskey was exhausted, and there
were reports of the yellow fever having
made its appearance. Things looked des
perate, when all was saved by the tact of a
distinguished member of the Ohio delega
tion. He went to the late C. L. Vailandig
ham, also a member, and who was on the
most intimate terms with Cushing. Said
he: ‘Val, can’t you get the floor for my
friend Governor King, of Missouri, who has
been endeavoring for a long time to attract
Cushing’s attention to his seat?” “What
does he want with it ?” says Mr. Vallandig
ham. “Why, they have, 1 believe, a little
difficulty in the delegation as to how the
vote shall be cast, and they want Mr. Cush
ing to settle it.” This was true. “All
right,” says Val; “I will see Cushing.” See
him he did, and when our friend saw Mr.
Vallandigham nod his head in assent, he
proceeded to the Missouri seats and in
formed Governor King that as soon as
the man who then had the floor sat down
the President would recognize him, but
ho must be quick on his pins. Governor
Ring arose, explained his difflculty,
was answered by Cushing, when lo ! to the
consternation of the South aud their North
ern allies, he moved the previous question
on the platform. The delegates from the
northwest rose in one mass and vocifer
ously seconded the motion of the gentle
man from Missouri. Cashing, one of the
very best parliamentarians in the country,
saw he was floored, and when the confu
sion subsided he had to put the question,
which the Douglass men carried, and the
light was over. Then came the secession
of the Southern delegates, who left the
convention in the precise order they did
the Union after the election of Lincoln-
South Carolina leading off, closely followed
by Mississippi and the remainder of the
cotton States. But for this deception of
Cashing, Mr. Douglass would not have
been nominated, and there would have
been a compromise candidate, who might
have kept the Democratic party North and
South intact, and defeated Lincoln, and so
averted the war.
The Homestead taw.
With one or two exceptions the present
homestead act lias no friends among the
newspapers of Georgia. The Atlanta
Herald assumes the championship of the
existing law, but its arguments are based
solely upon an overwhelming tendency to
sympathize exclusively with the debtor
simply because he is unfortunate.
The equity of the law and its terrible
abuse by dishonest men are hardly consid
ered by the Herald. The Augusta Chronicle
and Sentinel, while referring to this matter,
says :
“ We do not argue against the policy or
justice of property exemptions, but we in
sist that the present exemption is entirely
too large, and that it works wrong to a
large class of our citizens. Three thousand
dollars in gold or thirty-five hundred dol
lars in currency is an amount largely in ex
cess of the entire property owned by four
fifths of the inhabitants of the State. Ac
cording to the report of the comptroller
general the property of the State is valued
at about two hundred and fifty millions of
dollars. The census gives a population of
little more than one million. These figures
show the average wealth of each individual
to be two hundred and fifty dollars.
••As a matter of course there are thousands
who are worth a hundred times more, just
as there are thousands who are worth a great
deal less—but this sum is the average. The
present homestead law gives to every head
of a family more than ten times this amount.
It covers ail the property which lie has, and
lias almost entirely suspended the collection
of debts. It is time that the law makers
remembered that there were creditors as
well as debtors, who deserve protection at
their hands. For every debtor there must
be a creditor, and the burden should be
distributed a little more equitably. We do
not believe that the debtor should be de
spoiled of everything ho has when misfor
tune overtakes him. Neither do we believe
that the creditor should be ruined, while
the man whom he has trusted and aided is
secured a competency for life.”

Memorials Against tile Influx of the
“Heathen Chinee.’
Washington, February 13.—Senate.—
Air. Sargent presented memorials signed
by 16,658 citizens of California, calling the
attention of Congress to the Influx of Chi
nese on the Pacific slope. Air. Sargent said
there were sixty thousand Chinese near the
Pacific coast. They underbid native labor,
and they imparted no value to the coniniu
nity. They were pagans. They evinced
no desire to become assimilated to our
institutions. There had been but one or
two instances known where any of them
had expressed desire to become citizens.
The added nothing to the material wealth
of the community, taking away with them
all that they accumulated, and not even
allowing their bones to rest in American
soil. This was a question which did not
now concern the States east, but would
soon become a national question before
many years. The Pacific coast was tlie
gateway through which these people
would pass and finally spread over the
whole country. The memorial was re
ferred to the Committee on Foreign Re
lations. , , .

Bayard, during his remarks, referred to tlie
fact that many members of the South Caro
lina Legislature were ignorant, not being
able to read and write.
Air. West, of Louisiana, inquired of the
gentleman whose fault that was.
Air. Bayard—lt may suit the gentleman to
ask ttiat question now, but there were
periods in his life when he could answer it,
having lived in the community under the
laws and in sympathy with those who wmre
charged with preventing tlie colored people
from receiving education.

Philadelphia, February 13.—Between
nine and ten this morning a terrible acci
dent occurred at Alillef’s brewery, on
Thirty-first and Thompson streets. The ice
house attached to the brewery fell in, bury
ing in tlie ruins some of the employes. One
was taken out dead, and two more are in
the ruins. Intense excitement prevails in
the neighborhood, and a large force of
policemen are at the scene working with
the citizens to rescue the unfortunate work
men. After working sevefal hours in tlie
ruin, the workmen exposed the head and
part of the arm of one of tlie unfortunates.
The man was undoubtedly dead, but from
the mass of brick, ice and wood work about
him it was evident that it would be some
hours before the body could be exhumed.
In close proximity to this body there are
supposed to be two other men, who were
in the building when it fell, anil were work
ing side by side with the man whosd cold
hand was exposed by the rescuers. These
three men are unknown, and belonged to a
body of new workmen who bad boon just
employed on this job. It was discovered
that of six men who were still imbedded
in the ruins not one was living.

some time We have been trying to avoid,
seems now to be beyond any peaceable

Lieut. Robinson and corporal Coleman,
the chief cl,erk at the Red Cloud agency has
been killed. The agerit of Spotted Tail
agency reports that a large putty of hostile
Indians from both agencies have left for

Headquarters, Army of the U. S. A.,)
Washington, D. C., February 13th. j
General P. 11. Sheridan, Commanding
Alilitary Division of Alissouri, Fifth Av
enue, New York :
Dispatch of this morning received uuder
call of the interior Department of to day,
sent to your headquarters at Chicago. You
will be justified in collecting the most ef
fective force possible, even if you draw
cavalry from Fort Riley by rail to Cheyenne,
to march to the Red Cloud agency. Every
party of Indians who has marauded south
of the North Platte, should he demanded,
and held as accomplices in the murder of
Lieutenant Robinson. Their ponies must
be very poor now', and the game must be
scarce, so the occasion to give the Sioux a
lesson, so long merited, seems to me fa
vorable. Aty own opinion is that the
Sioux should never again have an agency
from the Mississippi river.
[Signed) AV. T. Sherman.
WASHINGTON.
Washington, February 13.—T0-day Mr.
Eades of St. Louis, argued before the
House Committee on Railways and Canals
in favor of opening the passes at the month
of the Mississippi river by a system of jet
ties. He read a bill which he had prepared
to submit to the committee, provided that
the government shall pay him and his asso
ciates five million doilars in instalments as
they shall perform the work. Two millions
when twenty feet of water shall be secured
in the channel, and the remaindet as soon
as that depth shall be increased.
Representative Sypher, of Louisiana, was
heard In reply. He characterized Eade’s
scheme as visionary. A permanent outlet
and not one of uncertain tenure was re
quired, and this could only be secured by
constructing the fort St. Philip canal’,
which lias been pronounced practicable by
all the engineers who have examined it.
The canal being a national necessity it
would be a national disgrace if it should
not be constructed.

Dr. R., in order to arrive at tlie absolute cer

of treatment invented and adopted by Him, de
voted great attention to the mechanism of tin*
structure involved in the course of Hernia, so
that he is now assured, by a large experience.
I that it is In accordance with the principles of
.science, and with the most universally ac
knowledged practice of artistic surgery, and he
as sorts, with the confidence thus inspired, that
it will permanently relieve all cases of reducible
IDnrnia, without regard to the age of the patient
or tire duration of the injury, while it is wholly
free .from all the cruelty that lias characterized
the tl eatment of the malady with tortuous
Trusses from the earliest age to tire present
day. Hi i therefore invites tlie earnest attention,
of the afi licted and the closest scrutiny of tlie
professiol i.
