The United States Senatorshlp—
General A. R. Lawton.
We have not alluded editorially to the
election of a United States Senator to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the resigna
tion of General Gordon, mainly for the
reason that we have not oonsidered it a
legitimate subject for newspaper discus
sion. There are also other reasons that
have inclined U9 to avoid agitation of
the subject and to leave the decision
of the matter where it properly
belongs, with the representatives of
the people. The Gubernatorial can
vass ju3t closed was distinguished
above ail others in the political history
of oar State, by the personalism in
volved in it, and if the overwhelming
verdict of the people sustaining Govern
or Colquitt against the assaults of his op
ponents did not conclude the Senatorial
succession, it certainly transferred.it from
the arena of popular debate to the con
scientious judgment of the Senatorial
constituency, the Senate and House of
Representatives. With this view of the
matter we have felt disinclined to agitate
a question so purely personal, and how
ever decided our preferences, how
ever much we could desire under other
the circumstances to urge the claims
of our city and section, we have refrain
ed from discussing a question in which
the time for argument is passed, and the
agitation of which, partaking as it
must of the spirit of the late canvass,
while it could avail nothing, would be
likely to create new antagonisms and
arouse latent prejudices, prejudicial to the
general welfare. So much in explana
tion of our course in reference to the
Senatorial succession.
In another column we print an article
from the Augusta Chronicle and Consti-
tionalist, in which the qualifications and
merits of our distinguished fellow-citi
zen, Gen. A. Ii. Lawton, are presented
in connection with his candidacy for
United States Senator. We most
heartily and unreservedly endorse the
just encomiums of our Augusta
contemporary, whose tribute to General
Lawton’s ability, integrity and exalted
character will be echoed by all who know
him, while his election to fill the seat
of the noble Gordon would be hailed
with hearty approval by thousands in
all sections of the State. In the
words of the Chronicle, “Georgia could
have no worthier, purer, abler Senator,
nor one who, faithful to the glories of
the past, is so admirably endowed to
sustain the greater aspirations of the fu
ture.”
The
Grant’s Untruthfulness.
It appears that General Grant is as
grossly inaccurate in his accusation that
General Hancock’s official telegrams in
08 from New Orleans cost $250, as he is
in his charge that the General’s virtual
removal from command of that depart
ment was in consequence of a dispute
over the reinstatement of the “levee
commissioners.” The actual^cost, it ap
pears, of General Hancock’s prompt and
sound explanation of the position, in re
sponse to Grant’s telegraphic orders, was
just $30. The difference, here, between
Grant and the truth, is $244. Even that
is not quite so great as the proved dif
ference between Grant’s promise to
President Johnson, when the latter made
him temporary Secretary of War, and the
actual conduct of Grant. The latter
had pledged his word to the President
that when he (Grant) gave up the office
of Secretary of War, he would give the
President sufficient notice, and hand
over the Department to the President or
his appointee. There was a quarrel be
tween President Johnson and the Radi
cal Congress, the latter being determined
to put Stanton back in the office; and
the Radical leaders, as it quickly ap
peared, had a private understanding
with Grant, who, in their interest, vio
lated his promise to the President. The
President confronted Grant, in Cabinet
meeting, and charged him with the vio
lation of his promise. Grant denied it;
but an appeal being taken to the mem
bers of the Cabinet, personally, they
confirmed in writing the President’s
charge. They convicted Grant of false
hood, and Grant, sullenly biting his
cigar, could make no reply, but went
off. His wanton and malicious attack
on Hancock, now, is as false, at all
points, as his conduct was in that mat
ter. It will not hurt Hancock, but it
will damage Grant.
“Why is General Hancock stronger in
Indiana and Ohio than were the Demo
cratic State tickets?” asks some one.
Because in those States, as elsewhere,
there are thousands of Republican vete
ran soldiers who support him but who
do not support the Democratic local can
didates; because there are thousands of
German Republicans who voted for Por
ter and Mcllvaine but will vote for Gen.
Hancock; because there are thousands
of Independent Republicans who voted
the Republican State ticket but who will
repudiate Garfield on account of his
record; because there are thousands of
Republican business men who voted with
their party on Tuesday but will vote for
Gen. Hancock as a means of putting an
end to business-paralyzing sectionalism;
because the workingmen who were
scared” out of their senses by the tariff
bugaboo will repudiate Free Trader
Garfield. Are these not truthful and
satisfactory reasons?
There are one hundred and thirty-
eight Southern electoral votes which
will assuredly be cast for General Han
cock. New York as certainly will give
him thirty-five more. This makes a to
tal of one hundred and seventy three, or
only twelve less than are needed for his
election. They will be obtained from
some of the following States, all of
which promise well for General Han
cock: Maine, Hew Hampshire, Connecti
cut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, California,
Nevada and Oregon. It is an extremely
liberal estimate toward the Republican®,
which places several of these States in
the doubtful column. Indiana, for in
stance, which casts fifteen electoral
votes, is assured for Hancock, in our
judgment. The Southern States, with
New York and Indiana, would give
General Hancock one hundred and
eighty eight electoral votes, or three
more than are necessary to his election.
Indiana Election—Col. Collins'
Letter or Acceptance.
The news from Indiana is bad—unde
niably bad—but it is not disheartening
nor discouraging. It is sufficiently ad
verse to put every Democrat in the coun
try on his mettle. Those of the North
East and West are in the thick of the
fight, and we at the South are called on
That the Southern States will be com
pletely Democratic and give all their
votes for Hancock and English we believe,
but we are not so certain unless we bury
personal issues in the great political
struggle before us, that every Southern
representative in Congress will be
Democrat Here, then, is our work cut
out for us; and if we desire an entire
Democratic representation in Washing
ton city we must go in with a will to
win it As we have said before, we have
confidence in General Hancock’s success,
notwithstanding the failures to carry
State and municipal elections; but, if
disappointed in it, we should retain
our hold upon Congress; the popular
branch of it at least. Therefore we
should determine to elect a Democrat
from every Southern district, and to
this end we must vote and work zeal
ously for the nominee of the De
mocrary. As we are engaged
effecting if we can, a civil revo
lution in the government of the
country for the interests of the Consti
tution and perpetuity of Democracy, in
opposition to sectionalism and the over
throw of the Democratic Republican
principles on which the government is
organized, the duty of every Democrat
is consequently plain, and that is “to
keep in the ranks shoulder to shoulder,
obey orders from Democratic head
quarters, National, State and county, acd
charge with a rush that shall sweep the
field and triumphantly carry the ballot
boxes. ”
In this, First district, we are to have
a struggle, as Col. John T. Collins, of
Maine, United States Collector of Cus
toms for the Brunswick District, has
entered the field as Radical champion in
opposition to the National Democratic
nominee, Col. Geo. R. Black. We gave
CoL Collins’ letter accepting the Radical
nomination in our issue of the 14th inst.
(Thursday.)
Colonel Collins is a pleasant man so
daily, and one of the most decent
of the genus carpetbagger sent down
(from Maine) by the Radical govern
ment to control the colored vote and
make the mo9t of his position. He has
done both tolerably well, and has made
some good investments in Brunswick.
In bis letter of acceptance he says he be
lieves in the principles (?) of the National
Republican party as best for the South,
has made all his investments there, and
consequently, is interested in the com
mercial influence and wealth of the
South. He excites risibility, however,
by his assertion that “the desire on the
part of the Democratic politicians to
make the South solidly Democratic has
caused the people to lose sight of their
industrial interests;” when the fact is
historical, that under Radical rule all
enterprises and industries wera crushed
out by bayonet influence, and that
it was not until Democratic rule
succeeded by its efforts (accomplishing
desire), in giving peace and tranquillity
to Georgia and her sister Southern
States, restoring confidence to business,
that the industrial interests, so JoDg
paralyzed, were revived, and the general
prosperity restored. Stick to truth and
facts, Colonel, and abandon that especial
principle, or rather want of principle, of
Radicalism—falsification.
On the tariff question, the Colonel
declares himself for “protection,” and
not for “revenue;” that is, he is in favor
of making the people buy in the market
at the highest prices, in order to enrich
manufacturers and other capitalists.
That is a favorite principle of the Radi
cal party, and it does the Colonel credit
to proclaim his intention of sticking by
his friends. On the currency the Colo
nel filches considerably from the Demo
cratic policy advocated from the founda
tion of the government. That is
our thunder” and the Colonel has
no right to steal it. Again
the Colonel gets, somehow or other, into
our melon patch. He says, “the South
needs liberal appropriations for internal
improvements and for the improvement
of her rivers and harbors.” That’s just
what the Democrats have been saying
all along, before and since the war, but
the Colonel’s political friends would not
grant us any if they could prevent it, un
less we voted “their principles.” AdcI
here we ask, pertinently, what does
the Colonel know of our internal
improvements, or of our rivers and
harbors and of what is needed for
them? Nothing!
The remainder of the Colonel’s letter
is a tissue of misstatements of the po
litical record of the Democratic party,
to which not only the South, but
the whole United States, is indebted
for whatever of growth, pros
perity, wealth, strength and influence
they possess. We challenge the Colonel
to produce one instance of national de
velopment that is not the fruit of Demo
cratic seed. As a specimen of imagina
tive recitation, we recommend the Colo
nel’s letter, but while we dissent from
its statements, we can neither indorse its
composition, grammar or style. In fact,
it lacks aB the essentials of a sound po
litical argument, but if the Radicals are
content with it—why, then, all we have
to say is, that they are not particular
and are easily satisfied.
How Indiana Was Lost.
The most encouraging event for the
Democracy which has happened since
the Indiana election is that the New
York Herald confidently predicts Gar
field’s success as assured beyond dispute.
From a time, to the beginning of which
the memory of a great many men of the
present day runneth not to the contrary,
it has proven a singular yet emphatic
truth that whenever the Herald has pre
dicted the political success of anyone
the result was sure to be the defeat of
the individual interested, and vice versa.
Hence, if the past is any criterion of the
future, we may plausibly reason that
General Hancock’s election is cer
tarn. But we do not advance
this as any argument in General Han
cock’s favor. The Herald may acci
dentally hit the mark this time, notwith
standing its former frequent misses.
That its conclusions are not based upon
aDy foundation in reason, however, is
clearly shown by the fact that it asserts
that Indiana was lost to the Democrats
and won by the Republicans because
the latter had abandoned the bloody-
shirt and sectional issues, and waged the
fight upon the tariff alone.
Aside from the fact that this assertion—
made before the echoes of Senator Conk
ling’s recent ultra sectional and bloody-
shirt speech in the New York Academy
of Music have died out—is a most re
markable one, there are other facts
which prove the Herald's conclusion
erroneous. The St. Louis Republican
the day after the election notes that in
the 590 precincts of the State, heard from
at the time its article was written, the
Democrats polled 105,990 votes. In the
same precincts in 1876 they polled
100,895 votes, a gain of 5,095, and
our readers well know that all re
turns so far received from the State will
uniformly show Democratic’gains. True,
the Republicans have shown greater
gains than the Democrats, and these
gains are what gave them the State.
Still, if the tariff was the issue which
brought about Radical success, why is it
that the Democratic vote has,so far from
showing a diminution, increased? Clear
ly the Radicals gained no accessions
from the Democratic ranks on account
of the tariff issue. If they had, such
accessions would assuredly have been
manifested by a decreased Democratic
vote.
That the Radicals carried the State
mainly through the importation of un
lawful voters, and the lavish U9e of
money, can be as clearly shown as that
they did not carry it through the aban
donment of the bloody shirt and the
adoption of the tariff issues. It is esti
mated by our St. Louis contemporary
that the popular vote cast on Tuesday
last in Indiana was 35,000 more than
that cast in 1876, when, as is conceded,
both parties polled their full strength.
Of this 30,000 the Republicans gained
not only enough to more than offset the
legitimate Democratic gain, but also
enough to overcome Tilden’s majority
of about 5,000, and to carry the State by
nearly 6,000. As the Republican well
remarks on these figures: “No argu
ment is required to demonstrate, to the
P. Lorillard & Co. have issued a cir
cular to the workmen employed in their
tobacco factory in Jersey City, in which
they say: “It having been publicly as
serted that we are endeavoriug to influ
ence your vote in the approaching gen
eral election, we embrace this means of
not only giving a positive denial to suen
assertion, but to say in addition that it is
the furtherest from our intention, either
in the present or the future, to influence
your political predilections. Coercive
suffrage is an evidence of moral cow
ardice, tending to degrade the working
man, acd productive of great danger to
that integrity of the republic which can
only be maintained by the deposition of
such a ballot as individual reason and
conscience may dictate. ”

“Through the Years,” by Miss R. J.

many incidents that came within the

Heavy Revenues.—The receipts from
customs and internal revenue have been
unusually and surprisingly large for a
number of days past, and Treasury
officials say that the indications are that
they will continue so for some time to
come. The receipts are far beyond the
estimates made last winter, and there is
every probability of a large surplus of
cash ;n the Treasury at the end of the
present year, or a cqi responding decrease
of the public debt.
intelligent and impartial reader, that
this immense increase is not legiti
mate. In other words, the population
of Indiana has not advanced during the
last four years at a rate which justifies
such an increased vote. The irresistible
conclusion is that the greater portion of
it is due to wholesale Republican im
portations. It was absolutely necessary
to offset the loss of Republican Maine by
the capture of Democratic Indiana, and
Indiana has been captured.”
The exact amount of money spent in
importing these voters, and in maintain
ing and controlling them after they were
imported, will probably never be known,
but that it was enormous cannot be de
nied. A Washington special states that
Senator Voorhees gives it as his opin
ion that this success cost the victors five
million dollars in actual cash, and relia
ble Democrats assert that the buying of
votes was shameless and scarcely dis
guised. They say that thirty thousand
dollars were used m the town of Craw*
fordsville alone, voters being taken to
one side on the day of election and paid
ten, twenty and as high as fifty dollars
by one agent, and marched up to the
polls by another, with little effort at con
cealment. That this shameless corrup
tion of voters with money contributed
by several officials and wealthy Eastern
Republicans was deemed necessary to
the interests of the Republican party,
reveals the nature of the interests that
are supported by such agencies, and the
hardened immorality of the party that
employs them.”
To money and the importation of
fraudulent voters alone then, is the
Radical success of Tuesday to he as
cribed, and the contribution of the tariff
question to that success wag a mere drop
in the bucket. But, as Mr. English
says, the Radicals will not have
that money to spend again in
November, neither at that time will the
Democracy of Indiana have to fight the
united Radical party of the Union. The
latter will then have its hands full in
other directions, and as the fight will be
mostly confined to the two parties in that
State, and as General Hancock is vastly
more popular than was General Landers,
it is not at all unlikely that he will win,
especially since a change of three thou
sand votes in the entire State will alter
the result of Tuesday. The National
Democracy, therefore, are far from dis
couraged, but will make renewed efforts
both to recover Indiana and to make sure
of New York, New Jersey and Connec
ticut besides.
General A. R. Lawton.
Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist.
The editorial correspondence of the
Chronicle arid Sentinel, data! Atlanta,
February 1, 1876. contained the follow
ing reference to General A. R. Lawton,
then a member of the House from Chat
ham. We take great pleasure in repro
during this notice of General Lawton in
| the columns of the Chronicle and Consti
tutionalist:
“General Lawton, whose convictions last
year were against a convention on the ground I
of expediency alone, proposed the com pro
mise He is one of the purest and ablest men
in the State, and I coaid say, with truth, in the
South. There is nothing small in the man. He
has neither egotism nor pomposity—neither
assumaey nor servility. Firm in his convic- f
tions, he is candid in the expression of his
opinions and always courteous and dignified
A gentleman of the most liberal culture and of
the highest legal attainments, he stands to-day
the peer of any man in Georgia. There is
nothing negative about him. His views on all
questions are broad and national, and are ex- f
pressed with precision, force and elegance, l
which always command respect, and never I
fail of the impression that he is a man of great f
strength of character, of spotless integrity and
of superior ability. He is not only a patriot,
but a statesman—a man who has never sought
office, but one who would do honor to Georgia,
either as her Chief Executive officer or as one
of her Representatives in the Senate of the
United States.
“I have deemed this due to the exalted char
acter of the distinguished member from Chat
ham. To him is due the credit of the measure
which harmonized the conflicting views of the
friends of a convention. With such men in a
convention to frame the organic law, the peo
ple need have n6 apprehensions as to the re-
suit. The rights of all persons will be pre
served under the new constitution, and the best
interests of the State will be subserved.”
We do not know that we could add
anything new to these opinions express
ed in 1876. They were intended to cover
the whole ground of admiration for Gen
eral Lawton. We know for certain that
time has strengthened our convictions
and that nothing can be taken away in
eulogy. General Lawton is a man of
growth, and, as such, his mental and
moral statue has advanced since 1876.
He has been popularly mentioned for
the Senatorship of this State to succeed
General Gordon, and in this noble ambi
tion we heartily s&ond what we deem to
be a genuine voice of the people. Like
General Hancock, General Lawton is
spotless character. He cannot be success
fully assailed individually, or profession
ally. He has ever been trtie to himself,
his people and his Maker. His ideal
is a lofty one and will always be so. He
has been tried in many ways and found
faithful in all. He has been wise in
peace and valiant in war. He has ever
preferred principle to selfish gain, and
he has never deserted his fellow citizens
in an extremity for his own peculiar
usufruct. True to them in past misfor
tune, he will not forsake them should a
dark day come again. He does not
promise incredible advantages if the
Senatorship should fall to his lot, but he
may be depended upon to illustrate the
commonwealth with dignity end talent
and secure for her all that the law
allows and that personal influence can
compass. The Titmouse art of giving
everything to everybody, by proclama
tion or resolution, is easy of accomplish
ment on paper. It is difficult to bring
to pass in Congress. Wchave no doubt
that, if elected to the Senate, General
Lawton will, in everyway, be acceptable
to the whole people and that they will
be proud of him. He represents the spirit
of conciliation and not antagonism. He
is equipped to meet in debate the best of
his opponents. No scandal will ever at
tach to his name. The practicality of
his career is only matched by the chiv*
airy of his soul. He combines the sound
sense of the North with the high spirit
of the South. Nothing is more attrac
tive, winning and influential at Wash
ington than such a combination of in
tellectual and moral qualities. We may
be sure that on the grand arena of the
Senate he will hold no second place, and
that he will stand among the foremost
of his peers. Georgia could have no
worthier, purer, abler Senator, nor one
who, faithful to the glories of the past.

The revolt of business men against
tariff revision, remarks the Philadelphia
Record, is about aa sensible as the revolt
of business men against a return of specie
payments. There were hundreds of
merchants and manufacturers who be
moaned themselves and walked around
wi«h ashes on their heads because the
government determined to force resump
tion. But the day of resumption passed
over without any financial disaster. Our
present tariff lies like an incubus on
the business of the country. It deadens
internal trade and paralyzes external
trade. It needs modification and adjust
ment, not to destroy any industry but to
permit and to create new industries.
The business men who allow themselves
to bar the way against a most necessary
measure of relief from the frightful, in
direct and insidious taxation under which
the country groans are their own worst
enemies. A reduction in the tariff on
articles of general consumption from
present rates so as not to exceed an aver
age of 30 to 35 per cent, would stifle no
honest industry, hut it would lift a load
from the backs of consumers which
would lighten the hearts and revive the
energies of the whole nation.
Rev. Henry W ard Beecher delivered
a Republican speech in Cooper Institute,
New York, Wednesday evening. He
said the South was the source of all
national troubles.
The festive gusher, unless the “white-
souled Elizabeth” belies him, is much
better qualified to instruct the public in
regard to the source of domestic or fami
ly troubles.
A Tariff for Revenue with Incidental
Protection.
In his recent speech before an im
mense meeting of business men at Phila
delphia, Senator Bayard said: “The
Treasury of Ibis country is filled by I PganUtS, PeamitS, PeaHUtS.
taxation and only by taxation. In round 1 ’
numbers some $300,000,000 are drawn
from the American people into their
Treasury by taxation. More than one
half of that is drawn by taxation upon
merchandise from foreign countries, and
the system is called the tariff system.
Since the foundation of this government
by the American people the govern
ment cf the United States has obtained
revenue for its expenses by levying taxes
upon the entry goods from foreign ports.
What is the principle upon which taxa
tion is to be sustained? It is the public
welfare. In the spirit of levying taxa
tion upon imported merchandise for the
sake of raising revenue to pay the just
expenses of the government, we
have the basis for which the
tariff, as it is called, was originally
designed. What was the result of this?
We did not tax and we do not tax the
manufacturer of merchandise made
within our borders, and as a result if the
same merchandise made abroad and ap
proaching our borders is taxed, what is
the result? First, revenue to the trea
sury, that is the great and justifiable
object ; and the second is that necessarily
—incidentally as it is called, but logi
cally and surely and necessarily—that
tax is a barrier of protection to the
American citizen who is engaged in the
manufacture of that same article. Look,
I pray you, at things and not men. Look
at substance and not at shadow. We
need revenue in this country; the ex
penses of our government are great, and
with its growth the complication of its
interests are apt to increase. Ever since
we were a government the American
people have preferred, whether wisely
or unwisely, to pay the taxes indirectly
upon imported merchandise which
they consumed to paying it directly.
That has been our habit; that has
been our custom; that has been the
preference of the American people, and
1, for one, do not know ten men, much
less a party, that propose to abandon
this method of raising revenue to sup
port the expenses of our government.
In 1861 a system of war tariff taxation
was resorted to, and any man who could
invent a tax upon anything that was to
be imported was invited to come for
ward and swell the list. What was the
result? A tariff system was created that
taxed everything, and in that spirit of
war taxation the great object and result
of revenue was lost sight of and forgot
ten. Jf all the artioles that could be
enumerated were taxed alike, where
would be the protection to manufac
turers going into market abroad? Were
we to stop with supplying these 50,000,-
000 of our own people ’ or were we to I
consider our capacity and supply the
markets of the world?” 1
