IlESDAY, MARCH 28, 1871
The Enquirer of Columbus, says that
Bishop Pierce will probably deliver an
eulogy in that city on the late Bishop
James 0. Andrew.
A fellow in Columbus recently tried
to forge a check, but did not have sense
enough. He is certainly a foreigner;
lie cau’t be a radical, or else he would
have been taking lessons in this art
from that great model of a forger, Bul
lock.
The scat of Hon. A T McIntyre in Con
gress, we notice is about to be contest'
ed, by the stupid negro candidate Virgil
Hillyer. He thinks perhaps, and rea-
sonably too, that if such men as White
ly and Blodgett can be seated, he, who
is infinitely their superior in every res
pect, can also be admitted in preference
to tbe fairly elected candidates.
We.give this week the letter of Hon.
B. H. Hill, in answer to the various
changes prefered against him. He is
rather cutting on Hon. Linton Stephens
for making a speech before Swayzc;
seeming to think that singing psalms
to a mile-post would have been a much
better way of wasting breath. But Mr
Stephens did not make the speech for
Swayze; lie was addressing the world
in the defense of himself and his coun
try. and the trial before Swayze was
only the occasiou of the speech.
A majority oi the Senate Commit
tee have decided to seat Foster Blod
gett. His qualifications (though not
legal) are admirable. He is the
man who perjured his sou! and Bu
ried his conscience in the putres
cence of his own rottenness. He is
the fellow who not only failed .to
pay a cent into the treasury of the
State of Georgia, for twelve months
of his control of the Slate Road, but
actually run the road in debt a hall
•million of dollars. He is the man
who delighted to oppress the help
less people of the South—to elevate
the ignorant negro to control the
intelligence and virtue of the coun
try. His heart is the seat of every
vice, his head the empty receptacle
of nothing. He is the epitome of
infamy, the summary of villainy, the
climax of shame, in him are con
centrated in a life interest, mean
ness and rascality. In that galaxy
of thieves—his colleagues in Con
gress—he is the blackest star. \\ ilh
such qualifications he can, unblush-
ingly, sit by the side o( Cameron
and Morton, of Thayer ami Nye.

The scenes of the Revolution of
1791 are now being re enacted in
Paris: France then rose in the ma-
gesty of her might to hurl from the
seal of power tier Bourbon King,
Louis XVI. Never, perhaps, were
so many tragical events crowded in
so short a space of time. The guil
lotine drank alike the blood of men
and women—of children and beau-
tv. Public sentiment then displayed
itself tor the first time in blazing op
position to the doctrine of the “Di
vine right of Kings.” Now, nearly
a century hence, the same scenes
are being repealed, but the issue is
far different. The Bourbon dynas
ty has long since been throneless
and sceptreless. The Napoleonic
dynasty, founded upon the over
throw of the Bourbons, closed its
brilliant career in blood and smoke
upon the gory field of Sedan. Then,
from the warm ashes of events and
the stirring dust oflhe dead sprang
the new Republic, and now Paris
spills her blood to overthrow the
Republic—tbe Republic which in
1797 she did so much to establish.
The French people are the weak
est, most easily seduced of all the
nations of Europe. The warm Celt
ic blood fires their hearts with im
pulse often to madness.
Already the blood of her sons has
begun to flow. Seveial of her lead
ing Generals have been tried and
condemned and shot. The guns
not long since pointing to Prussian
invaders are now directed to the
bosoms of her own people. Such
people deserve not to be free. Pow
er, throned and sceptred, should hold
eternal sway over their fierce pas
sions.
It is announced from Paris that
although Marshal MacMahon sup
ports the present government ol
France, he will retire from the ar
my to private life. This simply
means that the Marshal still adheres
to Tapoleon and does not intend to
compromise bis future by taking
service under the new government.
Marshal Bazaine, on the other hand,
although supposed to be the most vi
olent Bonapartist among the French
commanders, does not intimate any
intention of resigning, but insists up
on an investigation into his conduct
at Metz. It was stated some time
ago that Bazaine had begun coquet
ting with the Orleans princess, and
it is likely enough that he is taking
tbe initial steps to abandoning Na
poleon. If be is, bis conduct will
appear in marked contrast to that of
Marshal MacMahon, and will leave
a stain upon his reputation.
The President dined with the Hi
bernian Society at Philadelphia on
the evening of Si. Patrick’s day.
Doubtless the great smoker would
like to gain the favor of the Irish to
compensate tor the rapid loss of Re
publican friends. But he can’t come
it. The Hibernians are charitable
enough to feed the animal, but they
are too sensible to vote for him.
B. F. Butler is at Fifth Avenue
Hotel. Keep a sharp lookout tor

The Atlanta Post Office Robber /Ir-
rested in New York.— E. H. McLaugh
lin alias W. II. McLean, who robbed the
Atlanta Post Office some weeks ago of a
large amount of money and theu de
camped, was arrested in New A ork last
Friday. The Times gives the following
account:
Some day? ago Captain Irving, chief
{ of detectives, received information that
one John W. McLean was wanted in
Atlanta. Georgia, lor robbing the United
States Post Office Department ol 85,000.
Detective Eustace was detailed to as
certain it the supposed man was in the
city, and yesterday afternoon arrested a
man who an-wered the description of the

rcg. rJed me as the chief of the Ku Kiux.
I saw this in a newspaper. It was cer-
taiuly a great mistake. I am very sure
1 never thought of being in the Cabi
net. If, however, the President were
to make me such a tender, I should cer-
taiuly regard it as the highest evidence
he could furnish of an intention to ad
minister the Government in a spirit ot
equal justice to the South, and I should
then begin to suspect there was some
loundatioc for another rumor I have
heard—that President Grant was ex
pecting the nomination of the Demo
cratic party in 1ST.-!
I am anxious for tbe real facts as far
as I know them, touching the State
Hoad lease, to be correctly known, and,
with your permission, 1 propose, at an
early day, to give them to the public
through the Chronicle.
I read the speech of Judge Stephens
soon after it appeared. I saw nothing
in it which I thought needed a reply.
He opens with a high eulogy upon the
intelligence and courage of his Judge—
Swayze. These things may be true I
do not know Swayze. Have beard of
him, but never heard these things of
him before.
Judge Stephens then made an elabo
rate argument before hia learned and
brave Judge, to show that tbe 14th and
15th amendments were usurpations.
These arguments are all familiar to me.
I have endeavored to present them of
ten, of course never so ably. But fee
bly as myself and others have a thousand
times made the argument, I never
thought it could be successfully replied
to except Ly force.
But am 1 to understand that Judge
Stephens was flattering Swayze, aud ap
pealing with high argument to Swayze
to induce him—the learned brave Sway
ze—to declare and proclaim that these
amendments were treated, and should
be treated, as no parts of tbe Constitu
tion? If so, then, when we remember
that every department of the Govern
meut, State aud Federal, including all
the Governors and all the Judges, Dcm
ocralic as well as Republican, in the
United States, are abiding, obeying and
enforcing those amendments ar.d the
acts of Congress under them, this scene
before Swayze narrowly escapes tho In
dicrous! Itcertaiuly admits of no reply.
There seems to be an impression that
Judge Stephens alludes to me under the
name of Daniel. This must be a mis
take. I certaiuly never used such lan
guage,nor entertained such ideas as he
ascribes to Daniel. And in this very
connection, Judge Stephens, in elegant
style, tells a very touching anecdote, il
lustrating his sacred devotion to truth, I
am constraided to conclude that these
who think he alluded to me as Daniel,
do the Judge great injustice.
Judge Stephens next reveals to Sway
ze his plan for getting rid, not only of
the 14th and 15th amendments, but of
all the governments under them, and the
work of our newly elected Democratic
Legislature with them. The plan is to
elect a Democratic President, who will
withdraw all troops and proclaim all
these things nullities. This is splendid 1

Editors Chronicle &f Sentinel:
No man places a higher estimate than
myself on tbe power and usefulness of
a well conducted press. When not well
conducted, its rower for wrong and evil
is equally great. In the memorable
days ol 1867. I learned to honor aud
love the press of Georgia. It was bold

will doubtless end in nothing.
Judge Stephens closed his speech

never issued a document in the stern and
stubborn correctness of which 1 had and
have more faith. It was well consider

despots is he who will insist that.noth

ought to be law I shali seek to write
the Notes on the Address in the same
spirit of passiouless logic which I think
characterizes the address itself. I desire
and will haV8 no personal controversy.
I shall seek to make clear the path of
duty in the present exigency of our peo
ple. and I have an abiding fa tit tliat
four out of five of our people will agree
with me in a few months.
Before closing, allow me to trouble
y<«ii with a message to our excellent
friend of the Constitutionalist: Was
there a typographical error in Senator
Blair’s speech ? It seems Senator Blaii
drew a distinction between the recon
Leller from Nemesis-Number 3.
To “His ExcellencyR. B. Bulloch
Your Excellency will pardon me
for correcting a few typographical
errors which appear in my two let
ters lately addressed to you. An
intelligent reader might amend the
text, but I know your Excellency,
like Martha, is troubled about trtar.v
tilings, and may be just now en
grossed in preparation for your
hegira.
In paragraph 1st (letter number
one) “ministerial” should be magiite-
rial. Your ministerial career h
not yet commenced. The failure of
the mortgager to foreclose on Wade
and Douglas during the westward
trip of the Tennessee leaves them on
Grant’s hands for disposition before
your Excellency can be heard.
You have the consolation of know
ing, however, that merit—which
with your part} is ranked in the in
verse rclio of principle—does not
always insure promotion. The quali
fied applicants ate far too numer
ous for the offices provided by law.
Republics are known to be ungrate
ful, and Presidents sometimes forget
ful after dinner. But your master
will not overlook your metits. He
is not entirely given to cruelty.
Were Grant ag wicked as he is weak
and had no kith or kin history, af
ter a cycle of near two hundred
years, would repeat itself as alter
the Monmouth rebellion, and Aker-
man, with you as executioner, would
be a Jeffreys “campaigning” in the
South, and happy beyond expres
sion. With him as judge and jury,
the assize would then, indeed, be
perfect; and your appointment most
humane. The rebels falling victims
to the judge’s mercy, if they surviv
ed the shock of your Excellency’s
ghastly smile, would gladly call for
death by the guillotine or gallows to
escape the horrors of a second
glance.
In the 5th par., in the sentence
“the remainder of the ostrich—except
the head,” &c-—heart was written
where “head” occurs. The simile,
your Excellency, is not inapt. Ii
grows in favor, upon reflection. Vo
racity anil stupidity are the distin
guishing characteristics of that ani
mal. Green bushes and pebbles
are the weakness oflhe one—green
backs and diamonds the failing of
the other. Again, the body of the
other. Again, the body off the os
trich is of huge dimensions, while
the head is very small. Ornitholog
ists tell us, that in running, it never
deviates from one direction. Evei
since your sublimation, your Excel
lency has held, but one straight
course and that, decsensus aver no.
But singular enough the lower you
get, the higher you rise. The pa
tricians of Rome served the brains
of the stri-thiocamelus (ihe African
species) as a rare and luxurious dish.
The people of Georgia would most
gladly forego the dish, and rejoice to
even know that the American spe
cies carries that luxury in its head
It has instinct sufficient to feather
its own nest, but not brains enough
to keep it from being foul.
In paragraph 7, in referring to
your Excellency’s offspring, in the
expression, “whose greatest crime
is their paternity,” curse was written
lor “crime.” Nothing was farther
from my thoughts that the intention I of all my senses and think you vir-
is certainly something corrupting in
its initial. Even your Excellency,
who doubts all things save total de
pravity, cannot doubt after reacting
the honorable list in which your
name stands “proudly eminent.”
Among them a few are Belshazzar,
Balaam (who smote your great
progenitor with a staff for showing
the family trait—perverseness) Bac
chus, Balak, Barabbas, Borgia.
Barnadine, Bluebeard, Blodgett,
Bryant, Belcher, Bradley, Biteal,
Beelzebub, Butler and Bullock.
Can this be accident? Were the
worst of characters in history, an in
fiction also, christened with that in
itial because predestined to be wick
ed, or did the initial work su< h dire
ful results? His Satanic Majesty is
no exception. Defering to superior
merit he took his rank two grades
below and called himself—devil.
Philologists have made many inter
esting and important discovries of
la'e years. 1 commend to their
consideration, in view of the revela
tion made above, bow it ever came
to pass, that Horace Greeley’s name
does not commence with B.
These philologists tell us that cen
turies ago the inquisitors of Spain
habitually wore heavy beards to
heighten the terror of their presence,
and that by metonpmy (the mous
tache typifying the character,) the
inquisitor was, by his victims, call
ed bigote. This, your Excellency,
trorn your inquisitorial skill and
practice, knows to be the Spanish
word for beard, or moustache. The
bigger the beard, the bigger the
bigot! What, then, must be the
fierce bigoty of your Excellency, if
to be measured by that furious ap
pendage, waving like two bloody
banners over the battlements of
your brazen cheeks, when, with
top boots, spurs, and ivory-handle
whip, 1 like feathered Mercury, you
turn and wind a fiery Pegasus, and
witch the world with noble horse
manship!”
The last error to which l shall re
fer, occurs in my second letter. In
reletting to your Legislature (its
majority) as the pons asmurum over
which you rode so often a: pleasure,
either the printer or myself put in
the latter word’s one too much for
good orthography. If the error be
mine, it only shows that the nature
of the subject was in my thought at
the moment;and how much mightier
is the truth than the arbitrary rules
of language. If the printer added
the letter, it proves that he was bet
ter acquainted than I was with
that General Assembly. In
either case, if you and your parly
a e wise you may draw from this
error in orthography a most instruc
tive lesson. Truth cannot be chang
ed by the arbitrary acts of man.
And your efforts, born of fury and
hate, to raise the negro to the sta
tion and dignity ot the Southern
while race, are as silly and futile as
the attemp of Xerxes to bind the
ocean with an iron chain, or of
your Excellency to give a sincere
smile.
Your Excellency, “I did not think
to shed a tear in all your miseries”
but how can one restrain the course
ot nature after learning that the
'J rib tine of this city has spoken well
of you? This is the curse of Cain
—it is greater than you can bear.
Whatever may have been the com
mon opinion ol your Excellency, no
one supposed before, that you had
sunk so low. Have you suborned
the nai ion’s bawd—this Jezebel
whose Ahah occupies the Capital,
and who, by the false witness of
her “sons of Belial,” laboriously
plied for twenty years, set on the
dogs of war to rob the South of her
possessions?
Had the Tribune condemned your
course, I might reject the evidence
