Letter from tlie Friends of Hon. Alexan-
der Stephens, in the Georgia Legis
lature.
Milledgeville, Feb. 2,1866.
Editors of Macon Telegraph—Gentlemen:—In
Feading the printed copy of Mr. Joshua Hill’s speech
as reported to your paper, our attention is called par
ticularly to one paragraph, which, being manifestly
wrong, we leel bound to correct. The part of the speech
alluded to is in these words:
“It is generally understood that you will make
choice of a distinguished gentleman, prominent for
his public services and his acknowledged talents, and
regardless of his earnest remonstrances as set forth in
the letter I will read you, force upon him, objecting
and reluctant as he may be of this high trust. If you
are really his friends, you will better serve him by
loregoing the use of his name. 1 care not if a mail be
considered as ptlre as an angel, under such circum
stances he cannot escape a suspicion of encouraging
the act. My attitude may bias my judgment, but I
will stake my reputation that evil comes of the deed.
But the fiat has^gone forth, and it is irrevocable.*’
Now, we take this occasion to state that this is not
only an assumption on the part of the speaker, but in
direct conflict with the facts in the case. The friends
of Mr. Stephens, notwithstanding liis letter withhold
ing the use of his name, looking upon him and regard
ing him as a man whose antecedents would not only
recommend him, but make him an exceedingly de
sirable senator, not only to the Southern, but also to
the Northern people, felt it to be their duty to bestow
upon him this office, and take the chances of his ac
ceptance. We state it as a fact that Mr. Stephens was
not only not privy to this movement, but the first an
nouncement of it was made to him after it was ma
tured on Saturday previous to the election on Tuftsday,
and that that announcement was made to him by Col.
Ramsey, himself a candidate for that office—Col. Ram
sey, hearing of it, with a patriotism which he brings
from the battle-field and now illustrates in his defer
ence to the superior wisdom, experience and fame of
Mr. Stephens, not only retired gracefully from the
field, but advised all his friends to cast their votes for
that man to whom the people of Georgia, almost en
■masse, are looking as their senator. Col. Ramsey’s
testimony, if required here, will show that Mr. Ste
phens, up to this time, knew nothing of the move
ment. Mr. Hill must now fall back upon his “yudg-
meat, as being biased by his attitude
We have felt it to be our duty to correct this erron
eous version of Mr. Stephens’ position. What motive,
we ask, could have induced Mr. Stephens, if he had de
sired the election, to have taken the course he did, of
writing to the Legislature and emphatically desiring
that not even a complimentary vote be cast for him.
That is not the course usually adopted by candidates.
We state, most emphatically, that Mr. Stephens knew
nothing of the movement until it was matured, and
moreover we further state that many of the friends of
Mr. Stephens, to whom the plan had not as yet been
divulged, had determined, in view of his first letter,
not to vote for him, thinking that his services could
not be obtained. At this stage of the movement, those
who had originated it, believing that Mr. Stephens
could not commit the incivisim of refusing any reason
able trust confided to him by his State, and regarding
the greatest possible approximation to unanimity as
altogether desirable, determined to address him a let
ter putting the question to him direct—“Will you
serve us il elected ?” that letter to be handed to I»m
with the verbal declaration that we intended to elect
him any way, believing that he would be the most ac
ceptable man to the whole country that Georgia could
send.
Now, here is, sirs, a true revelation of the whole
transaction. We have said thus much; we do not feel
that we could have said less. We make issue with Mr.
Hill again. The scope and tenor of hia speech are to
the effect that we were « pposed to him solely for his
loyalty to the old Hag, aod that his defeat was, or
would be, regarded at the North as an act of disloyalty.
Now, just here we must ask, what is the plea of loyalty
set up by Mr. Hill ? What does he give as the evidence
of liis loyalty ? That when the State of Georgia se
ceded, he did not retain his seat in Congress, but va
cated it by his own act; that he came home and never
raised his voice in any public manner, before or dur
ing the existence of the rebellion, one way or the
other.
His plea, to make the most of it, is that he preserved
a position of neutrality, and he sets that up as an evi
dence of his statesmanship and of lus loyalty to the
Union. We claim that .Mr. Stephens did more than
this. He saw the breakers ahead, the shoals and the
quicksands, and, like a true watchman on the tower,
his warning voice was heard but not heeded. Have
we forgotten the memorable occasion wiien the gifted
Toombs stood before the Legislature of his State
and advised his countrymen to strike for independ
ence ? Who measured arms with the great orator on
that occasion ? Who dared to face the multitude cla
morous for secession ? Who lp*d the nerve amid this
torrent of excitement to raise his voice in favor of the
then despised Union ?
If you desire an answer, go and read the printed
speech of Alexander Hamilton Stephens, which you
will find in almost every house throughout the
Northern and Northwestern States. Where was Mr.
Hill all this time? A loyal man, forsooth; but accord
ing to his own declaration not a word does he utter in
defense of the Union. But more than this, Mr. Hill
not only preserved silence at that critical time, but in
the progress of events we find lmn h candidate for
gubernatorial honors, thereby asking the people of
Georgia to bestow upon him the ermine of office
which would have placed him in official antagonism to
the Government of the United- States. Aud yet he
claims to have been, from first to last, a Steadfast
Union man. Mr. Hill says he can take the test oath;
did he not try to get an office, the obtaining of whi- h
must have made it impossible lor him to take that
oath ? True he was not elected, and therefore not
called upon to take the oath of office as Governor of
the 9tate; but it was only because he did not get
votes enough. We must judge him by his acts. His
letter of acceptance, where he takes high ground
against reconstruction is upon record, and that will fix
the animus of the man.
But, Messrs. Editors, we will pursue the speech no
further. What we mean to say is this: That Mr. Ste
phens was not privy to the plan inaugurated lor his
election, aud the determination to run him was based
upon the idea first, that he was the choice of tile peo
ple; and second, that he was the most appropriate
representative oi the present sentiment in favor of res
toration and pacification. Original Union men and o -
ginal secessionists united in choosing as their common
representative, the prophet, who had warned us against
the fatal error, which we all now lament and are anx
ious to correct. Instead ol its being an act of disloy
alty, it was just the reverse. We knew that Mr. Ste
phens was on the line of President Johnson’s restora
tion policy.
As you have given publicity to Mr. Hill's speech, we
now ask a place in your paper for this vindication;
and all papers, both South and North, which have or
may publish Mr. Hill's speech, are requested to pub
lish this also.

and will soon appear. It is approved by Mr. Seward
and one other member of the Cabinet, and disap
proved by Messrs. Stanton, Harl&u and Speed. 1
“ As the Cabinet is to be unanimous in support of the
President's policy, successors to these three officials
will be found at once. It will then remain to be seen
whether the President’s policy or that of Mr. Stevens
is to prevail. The President has ,no fears for the
result, even in Congress.
“Mr. Raymond, it is understood,will at once assume
the position of leader of the conservative Republicans
in the House, and Mr. Cowan, of Pennsylvania, will
assume the same position in the Senate; and it is be
lieved that they can, without difficulty, when the Pre
sident’s purposes are plainly announced, rally around
them enough of the moderate Republicans* to defeat,
with the aid of the Democrats, all ol‘ the radical mea
sures now before Congress, and to secure the complete
triumph of the President's restoration policy. The
task of protesting against the illegal and unconstitu
tional measures that are now being rushed through
the Senate, for in the face of such a decided radical
majority, the opposition to such measures amounts
practically to little more than protest, seems to de
volve chiefly upon the Hon. Garrett Davis, of Ken
tucky, Mr. Go wan, Reverdy Johnson aud Mr. Doo
little.”
(Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.]
“Washington, Feb. 5, 1866.—You will learn, with
much pleasure, that an issue with the Radicals is about
to be made, and in a manner, too, that will put the
President on high vantage ground.
“A resolution^ to be offered in the House by Mr.
Raymond of New York, declaring the views of the
Administration and its conservative friends, upon the
subject of the relations of the South to the Government,
and taking the same ground with the Crittenden re
solutions of 1861, which all remem oer, and which, if at
hand, you can here recite.
“ They declare that the object of the war is only to
preserve the Union, and that when armed resist—»ce
ceases the relations of the States to the Union should
be resumed.
“ This declaratory resolution will be offered as an ad
ministration measure, or rather as the President’s
measure, and those of his Cabinet who disagree to it
will have leave to go out.
“ The House of Representatives will either adopt the
resolution or reject it, or evade it. They will not
adopt or reject it. Adoption would pledge them to the
President’s policy. Rejection will hasten a dreaded
rupture with the President. Evasion is the only
alternative. I have the best reason to believe that, if
the House shall, by any of the Parliamentary dodges,
get rid of the question, the President will then issue
his proclamation declaring the Union to be restored—
that all the States are recognized as loyal to the Union,
and are entitled to be considered by Congress as States
in the Union.
“Moreover, I may state that the proclamation is al
ready written.
“After this coup d’etat the radicals, in their frenzy,
will try to raise a storm. Perhaps Stevens will propose
impeachment. But throughout the country Union
leagues, with the title of the “Union White,” will
spring up and carry all before them.
“Mr. Sumner is speaking to-day in the Senate against
the amendment to the Constitution respecting repre
sentation, on the ground that it excludes five million
of negroes from the suffrage. His proposed amend
ment to the Constitution will, as you will see, carry
out his great idea of the constitutional equality of all
men.

the fanatical radicals.”

IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON.
Tlie President and tbe Radicals—The Im
pending War—A Proclamation of Sou
thern Restoration—Division in the Cabi
net and a Re-east.
Recent indications justify the belief that the dis
agreement between President Johnson and the radical
wing of the Republican party in ^gress in regard to
the President's policy of restoring the seceded States
to their proper relations in the Union, is about to be
brought to a direct issue. That this opinion prevails
in well informed circles in Washington is shown by the
following extracts from the letters of the correspond
ents of the NewjYork News and Charleston Courier.
The information they convey is certainly ^Important

His proclamation declaring the
the Southern States entitled to
tion in Congress has been written
We learned yesterday from Capt. Morton of the
steamer Gen. Barnes, and from passengers by the
same boat, that a serious affray took place in Charles
ton about tbe hour of the departure of that steamer.
It appears that a difficulty occurred between a couple
of negro soldiers belonging to a regiment which had
just been mustered out of service, on Meeting street,
when a policeman interferred and tried to arrest the
parties. Other negroes on the spot interferred and
the beligereuts refused to be arrested. The policeman
gave the alarm aud othetsr to the number of about
thirty came to his assistiKfee, but the negroes having
been also re-infoived, tne affair assumed rather a
serious aspect. The negroes outnumbered and drove
the officers away.
At this stifle of the proceedings Colonel Clitz of the
6th U. S. Infantry ordered out the regiment aud com
manded the negroes to disperse. They refused to
obey aud began to pelt the soldiers, and we believe
fired upon them. The soldftrs were then ordered to
lira on th»* nesrnen. but 'being loth to slaughter them
indiscriminately, they tired a volley over tfieir neaus.
That not having the desired effect, the regulars poured
a telling fire into the 1110b, killing at least four of the
negroes. The tiring brought the rioters to their senses,
and being followed up by a charge upon them by the
troops, they retreated in various directions, and quiet
was soon afterward restored.
—M. Etienne D., living on the Boulevard du Temple,
Paris, has just lost his life by an extraordinary acci
dent. He was sitting alone in his office at night, when
he suddenly heard a noise over liis head, like a clash of
anus, and looking up saw that a large trophy of arms,
consisting of a Turkish sabre, a Malay dagger, a toma
hawk and other weapons, had become disengaged from
the wall, and was falling. The next moment he received
a wound on the forehead from the descending mass,
and his face was immediately deluged with blood,
One of tbe anus had divided the temporal artery, aud
he died shortly alter.
