THE* AID MOW.
().?• r<a\on why Harvard refused to
nak-* Governor Butlsr a Doctor of Laws
ws» f nnded:o the fact that some of the
C-l t.-ated tanned human hides of Tewks
bury panpare, white and colored, were
traced to the Medical Sc’ nol nf that insti
tution. How Senator Hoar and the Puri
laoe of Massachusetts would have made
the air resound with anathema had any
such thing happened at the South! We
can ail remember how the Senator and his
fnendfl want off half-cocked about Cadet
Wnrrraxrß and clamored for the annihila
tion of West Point. When it was discovered
that Whittak •'•d disgraced the colored
people, mutilated h own ears and prac
ticed perfidy of a ry base kind, the lat
ter-day saints oftheEist cooled off and
felt more or less ashamed of their prema
ture But they are furious be
cans* Governor Butler has not only
that inhumanity has been exhibited
a* an almshouse-, bn* that the hides of black
and white men have been tanned. The
conoec.ion between Tewksbury and Har
vard has been established in this ne
farious procieding. Hizherto the de
fenders of the almshouse and col
lege officials have challenged some
apeciho evidence of the hide-tanning.
Gov. Btrn.Eß was equal to the occasion
and placed before them tangible evidence-
Tbe Globe says that “a piece of human
skin, on which was tattooed a representa
tion of our Saviour upon ths cross, to
gether with the name and date of the birth
of the person upon whose flesh the repre
appeared, was produced and of
* sered an evidence by his Excellency. The
name tattooed upon the skin is that of a
Swede, C. J. Ekluxd, a pauper, who died
at Tewksbury in 1879, and whose name
appears upon the records of the instiution
an ! upon the history books in charge of
the department of indoor poor.” This
shocking testimony bore heavily upon
Tewksbury and Harvard. It rose before
the Banctimonious Hoars as the body of
the nr justly executed Neapolitan Admiral
was given up by the sea to shame the
guilty souls of Nelson and lady Hamil
ton. The jurists gnash their teeth because
Butler uncovered the hypocrisy of a
sometime dominant faction in his
.State, but it is one of the revenges of time
that the man who inflicted gross insults
and indignities upon the South, in days
long past, should be an instrument of vin
dication in the present time. T:ie world
is beginning to understand that, outside
of squeamish sentimentality, the negro
i laves of the South wore the best treated
peasantry on earth, and that occasional acts
of cruelty were as nothing compared to the
wrongs inflicted upon the poor
whites of Europe and America. But
thin is nothing ne w. The open persecu
tions of the Puritans of a former day ware
quite equal to the clandestine merciless
ness of tho existing epoch. For example,
we have the poetic evidence of Whittier
tjat not only wis savage whipping a com
mon ass jjj, but that this infliction of the
New England knout was not always for
sins agaiust the moral law, but for religious
dissent. Witness t! is poem which the
author calls "The W< men of Dover:
The tossing spray of Cocheci’s fall ~ l>
Hardened to ice on it rooky wall,
As through Dover town, in the chill] gray
dawn, “TZ
Three women pissed, he cart tail drawn !
Bared to the waist for the north wind’s grip
And keener sting cf the constable’s whip,
The blood that followed each hissing blow
Frose as it sprinkled the winter snow.
* • • • ♦ ♦
The tale is one of an ev.l time, ‘
When souls were fettered and thought was
crime,
And he relay’s whisper above its breath
Meant shameful scourging and bonds and
death I
What marvel that, hunted and sorely tried,
Even women rebuked and prophesied,
And soft words rarely answered back
The grim persuasion of whip and rack.]
If her ery from the whipping poet and jail
Pierced sharp as the Ren te’s driven nail,
O. woman, at ease in tbe?e hippier days,7
Forbear to judge of thy sister’s ways !
How much thy boau*Wal ’ife may owe
To her f*ith and ciur* ; ?e thou canst!Jnot
know.
It seems then that the whipping of white
women for heresy was an old Massachu
setts custom, just as the tanning of the
bides of paupers is a new device of the Old
Biy State. Mr. Whither attempts to show
that the women of this time are all the
bitter because of the flagellation of their
sbters of the oncten regime. But this may
boa matter of di>nbt. It may be that,
when the curtain is wholly withdrawn,
facts shall show that tho stripes which
once fell upon the poor New England
woman’s back di ’cend now upon her
heart and spirit. The descendants of the
grim Puritan fathers are possibly more po
lite but not less cruel. Tiie whipping
post of Dover may not be more terrible
than the almshouse at Tewksbury.
FAILURES AND TRIUMPHS OF GE-
NIUS.
Tho Florida Times regrets that distin
guished mental ability is sj often accom
panied with moral weaknesses. There are
not a few examples of men who were vir
tuous as well as wise. The fallen angels
among men of genius have severer scru
tiny than common place mortals, and their
laches are not only made conspicuous but
exaggerated. In the long run, there has
been jnst as much morality among emi
nent persons, as a class, as can be found
in any other group of the human family.
We think our Jacksonville brother goes too
far when be intimates that it is the
rule, and not exception, for great wit
to be not only allied to madness but
to vics. Webster was a spendthrift
and worse; but Calhoun emulated the
Stoics and Spartans. Goldsmith was
improvident; but Wordsworth was a
mode! of thrift. Poe was an inebriate;
but Longfellow was sober. Btron was a
libertine; but Scott was decorum itself.
Shrllet was immoral and infidel; but
Kbblb was pure and devout. And so, it
would be easy perhaps to more than match
examples of intellectual depravity with il
lustrations of mental force and consummate
piety. The •’prelude” of our Jacksonville
friend is intended to point a moral in the
career of Jambs R. Wa. son, who was a boy
hero during the war, and, afterward, at
West Point, in a graduating class of forty
members, stood “pre-eminently first in
mathematics and law, in painting in lan
guages end horsemanship.” From the
Fourth Cavalry he drifted to Japan, I ut
got into trouble and resigned. He was
made paymaster in the army, and became
a rogue. Hig powers were wasted and his
life wrecked by temptation. We suspect
CHRONICLE AND CONSTITUTIONALIST, AUGUSTA. GA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 1883.
thet there was an element of baseness in
the man’s character, just as there was in
that of the Annapolis cadet who would have
graduated as “a star” this year had he not
developed into a thief or kleptomaniac.
But the possession of versatile talents does
not always lead to distinction. The spe
cialist usually becomes much more famous
and useful than the Admirable Cbichton.
Custis Lee, we believe, graduated with
distinction equal to that of Wasson, and
he has done honor to hia intellect and
name. It is the soul of the man and not
bis brain that forms the moral stature.
There are other famous West Point gradu
ates who
. “ Keep the lamp of chivalry
Alight in hearts of gold.”
That men of brilliant gifts do some
times squander them, because of some
inherent or acquired infirmity cf purpose
cannot be denied, and Wasson is not the
first exemplar of that statement as he will
not be the last. There lived, years ago, a
West Pointer who was easily and conspi
cuously first in all things mental and phy
sical. He could, in the language of a
friend, not only surpass his fellows in
scholastic studies, but beat them in mar
ble 6 and billiards. He became a General
during the war, but misled some splendid
opportunities because bis social habits had
led him into hard drinking. Having
promised when called to the field from a
seaport station not to use intox
icating beverages, he kept his word
but lost his reckoning for the want of a
drink to clarify his mind. But for his
ineptitude, Gen. B. F. Butler, when bot
tled up by Beauregard, would have been
captured with his whole army. Afterward,
this remarkable but unfortunate soldier
gave up his life in defence of Fort Fisher.
His one weakness did indeed come near to
eclipsing all of his astonishing talents, so
that death in the line of duty was kinder
to him than it has been to some others.
But the genius of Lee and Jackson was no
barrier to their advance in virtue, and we
place them in opposition to those who
had showy talent which, “like extended
empire and gold, exchanges solid strength
for feeble splendor.” We are not prepared
to admit that possession of lofty intellect
ual powers i?, evan in a majority of cases,
allied to a defective and criminal morale.
It would be a sad thing for the world if
that were true. Legions of angels fell with
Luuifeb, but legions remained steadfast
and kept the faith of heaven. So, while
there are only too many gifted creatures
who descend to the pit, it may
be said that those who keep # to
the empyrean are more numberous still.
The descent of a meteor or its extin
guishment causes more surprise than the
reign of a fixed star in its accustomed
orbit. For the honor of humanity we are
inclined to believe that the majority of
highly gifted men and women areas whole
some morally as they are intellectually.
A STARTLING THEORY.
Unless the Rev. George H. Hep worth
has been belied by the reporters, he must
ba presented as the retailer of a most as
tounding theory. He attributes the agnos
ticism of the day to eating lobster salad.
The World reproduces the curious chain
of sensation and reasoning whereby he ar
rived at this odd solution of a complex
moral problem. Hear this :
He ate lobster salad and immediately doubt
ed the eternal fitness of things. His psychic
symptoms and moral perversion were accu
rately noted. During the first half hour he
had a clear impression that the author of all
things is malign. This grew into a profound
feeling that death ends all, and the sooner the
better. The salad appeared to have opened
his eyes very much as it was predicted the
original forbidden fruit would openthem, and
he knew good from evil, with the additional
fact that there was not any good worth know- *
ing, and, with hia hands crossed on hia abdo
men in the old archaic manner of the Assy
rians, he repeated Carlyle’s dictum: “This
is Tophet and the belly of Hell !”
Now we know some persons who par
take of lobster salad and still cling to
orthodox creeds. A bait of canned lobster
worked up into a powerful salad and par
taken about supper time may re
mind the eater of the pangs of Gehenna;
but the victim rather seeks to repent
of his sins and believe all mysteries
than anticipate eternal torment by the
ravage of intestinal dynamite. Possi
bly, for the time being, a man may,
in the thrall of such a diet, be tempted to
do as holy Job was advised by diabolical
counselors; but when the paroxysm is over
the chances are that God is thanked for a
mercy and that the Devil is momentarily
dismissed. At any rate, there are numerous
church people who venture upon the dish
that shook the faith of Mr. Hepwjbth, and
there are devout people who go still far
ther and habitually eat a salad of crab,
made in Savannah fashion, which is calcu
lated to sicken a President on sight. As
Mr. Arthur survived the attack of crab
salad aud afterward attended Sunday
services at three different churches, we
dismiss the statement of Mr. Hepwobth as
entirely erroneous,aud add that a man who
cannot masticate lobster or crab salad
without becoming an agnostic must have
a stomach unfit for preservation and a soul
not worth saving, as a general proposition
GEN. GRANT'S LATEST SPEECH.
New York railway men gave certain
Louisville citizen’, headed by Senator
Beck, Mr. Carlet and Mr. Watterson, a
greed entertainment at Delmonico’s, the
other day. These Kentucky gentlemen
had gone East to agitate the subject of a
Southern exposition. Quite an array of
distinguished business and public men
met these Blue Grass representatives at
the festive board. Several speeches were
made, and all of them were in the line of
patriotism and amity. Mr. Beck talked
statistically. Mr. Carley spoke in au oily,
common sense way. Mr. Watterson
gushed. Gen. Grant made a characteristic
address. He started out by stating that,
on a recent visit to Louisville, he had been
overwhelmed with attention. He agreed
with some of the other speakers that the
great desideratum is for people on both
sides of the sectional line to be brought
together. The rest of his brief remarks
may be quoted entire:
Thia will be an occasion where they will
meet upon that line, and where, I hope, great
numbers of our Northern people will go and
great numbers of the Southern people wiP
come. They will find, when they meet and
shake hands, that, after all, there is very little
difference between us. (Applause.) We have
no longer any North, South, East or West. I
am sure there is great ignorance on the part
of the people each side of the line as fa how
those on the other aide think and act- I don’t
know how I cin illustrate this better than to
tell what was said to me by a gentleman from
Louisiana whom I met at Saratoga last sum
mer. Within the part three years I have vis
eted every Southern State where slavery once
existed, and during my travels I went to Louis.
Una, where, as everywhere else in the South-
I was treated with great kindness. I visited
the Legislature and was introduced by the
Speaker of the House in a speech so hospita
ble and eloquent that it embarrassed me, for
I was expected to reply and I was not equal to
the occasion, (Laughter.) This gentleman—
he is still Speaker, I believe,—was the one I
met at Saratoga last year. He said to me
then:—“Why, lam surprised. I thought the
grass was growing in the streets of the North
ern cities. I thought your peop’e were poor.
I have not visited the North since before the
war. I think, sir, the very best thing Congress
could do would be to make an appropriation
to send Northern people down South and par
ticularly to send people from the South up
North” (Laughter.)
“The best thing next to that will be the Ex
position. I want to go, with others from the
North, to shake hands with the Southern peo
ple. (Great applause.) Mr Huntington and
the other railroad men will furnish us with
special trains and will doubtless give you
Southern gentlemen ample opportunity to
come North and shake hands with us.
Judge Tourgee insists that the people
of the South are distinct from those of the
North, and are likely to remain so for
generations. There is some truth in that;
but it is equally true that more intercourse
and a better knowledge of each other will
work miracles of confraternity, just as a
Boston reception of uncommon fervidness
reconstructed Father Ryan, who was sup
posed to be, next to General Toombs, the
most Intense anti-Yankee man in the whole
country. Men on both sides of the line
may and will disagree politically, economi
cally and morally, in many ways, but they
need not do so with ignorance and preju
dice. General Grant was well received
in the South, on his return from Mexico,
and he spoke in away that disarmed even the
Louisanians who remembered reconstruc*
tion and its infamies under Warmoth,
KELL r GG and Shebidan. But as Grant
moved northward and eastward, he chan
ged his tone and said ugly things of the
South. He wanted the Presidential nom
ination and adapted his language to
stalwart ideas then prevalent. The Lou
isana gentleman who thought that grass
grew in the streets of northernwities and
that the East and West were poor must
have been a lineal descendant of Rip Van
Winkle and an inheritor of that person’s
fondness for long naps. Such a man
really does need an appropriation
to have his eyes opened and his wits
sharpened. Many of the Southern people
have travelled Northward aud know what
the mighty civilization of that section is;
but like a North Carolina farmer we once
met, they prefer their own part of the
country and are not dazzled by the feverish
enterprise of the wealthier lands beyond
them. On the whole though,Gen. Grant’s
ideaor ratherthe old idea revived by Gen
Grant is a seasonable and sensible one
As many Southern men as possible ought
to visit the East and West, and as
many Eastern and Western men
as possible ought to travel to
the South. Southern meu going North
ward will find no difficulty in procuring
the beat of en'ertainment at hotels. We
regret to say that thousands of Northern
men desirous of visiting and inspecting
the South have no such guarantee, from
all accounts. To carry out the suggestion
of General Grant, the South ought to pro.
vide proper and ample accommodations
For example, Augusta ahould have at
leaat one firat claaa modern hotel, and
Mount Salubrity ahould have another.
UNDULY SENSITIVE), perhaps.
Our esteemed contemporary of the Co
lumbia Register appears to have gone out
of the way to find fault with the Chronicle
anent the illustrious William Gregg, of
Graniteville. We add the Graniteville,
because it ia as distinctively his title as
Roanoke belonged to John Randolph’s no
menclature and Carrollton to that of
Charles Carroll It was not at all our
intention to deprive South Carolina of the
honor of having fostered William Gregg,
although Virginia gave him birth. Such
an idea never entered our thought, any
more than it would to speak of
Joseph E. Bbown or Charles J.
Jenkins as South Carolinians. Nor
did we intend, aa our Columbia friend ap
prehends, to discredit the real orators and
statesmen of South Carolina. We should
have to do violence to our own spirit and
to the memory of those near and dear to
us in such a case. Our regret was and is
that not South Carolina alone but the
whole South did not possess more men of
practical talents and accomplishment and
fewer great Columbian orators who really
did mislead the people and deceive them
selves. Had there been more mechanics and
fewer stump speakers in the South, more
machine shops, and fewer places of elegant
leisure, the North, when war came, would
not have conquered us. Mr. Dawes, in his
reply to Mr. Lamar, conceded that. He
admitted that the history of the conflict
would have been written differently had
the South’possessed more of the substantial
elements of material prosperity, as she had
a g wins for war and a matchless valor.
William Gregg was a pioneer. We are
reaping what he sowed. It is bootless to
discuss whether the war did or did
not settle anything. Facts are be
fore us all. If it will add anything to
our Columbia friend’s happiness we most
cheerfully link to the name of William
Gbegg the name of South Carolina. Vir
ginia has furnished so many great men to
nearly all the States of the Union that she
will not insist upon claiming her wander
ing sons. Possibly she would be in better
plight herielf if that coaid be done. To
contribute still more to our respected
brother’s felicity, we say, once for all, that
no human being has more reverence
for South Carolina’s statesmen than
the Chronicle and that while we
are proud of the record of the South in a
war where whatever was lost military
honor was saved, our sole regret is that so
much talent, so much sacrifice, so much
intrepidity did not have behind it the
means to forge all the cannon, arms, etc.,
required for land service, and the shops i
and skilled labor sufficient to break the
blockade and maintain our coast from in
sult. In other words, we regret that the
William Gbbggs were so few and the ora
tors so many.
