We ilwpwe all manner of ostracism
for opinion’* sake. We have fought
zealously every effort to ostracise the
men of the south in national politics
on account of Iheir honest opinion*.
We have zealously fought every sem-
hlanee of an attempt in the south to
optnu i.se either men from the north,or
nativcM, who held political opinion* ad
verse to the maj rity of our people.
This style of thuggery ha* always had
our nu *t earnest condemnatioi£>tnd we
will lx* chargeable as recreants to the
true spirit and principle* of this gov
ernment whenever we panel ion it in
any form, or anywhere.
If there i* one man ulsive all other*
in the whole aggregation of northern
politician* wlnx*e ostracism would

man could xfford us pleasure—it would
Imi William I>. Kelley, of Pennsylvania.
We rememlier his record in congress
with very little respect and no desire
to pay it a compliment. He ha* al
ways Immmi the iinrompromiHing foe of
the south in it* every opinion and de
sire. A bitterer and more implacable
enemy we have never had. He ha*
lieen hold, outspoken and extreme in
hi* denunciation* of our Hpecial cus-
tom*, Icudii.g men and |>opular move
ment*. Under such circumstances we
have no love for Kelley and no Pj>efial
interest in hi* fortune* or fate.
William II. Keile -, however, as the
representative of a Pennsylvania c< n
stitueney for the |wv*t sixteen year*,
has had one thing in hi* favor. He
ha* ne\ T been a low-minded, snake-
mouthed and hloody-tsy**d scouu
drel. Ho ha* *|>oken fearlessly, aid
while he lied often we 'imagino he did
so from mistaken information,

experience, he spoke that truth o|>enly
t«» the world from hi* place in theeapi-
tol. lie did thi* in go**t faith and lion-
esty, and we admire the manline
wliieli he met the issue.
Now, we return to the first proposi
tion of our article, and hold that it is
mean and unfair to Judge Kelley for
hi* political friend* to try and throw
him ovcrltoard on account of hi* de-
tense of the people of the south from
the slander* which were lieing uttered
against them on the floor of the house.
I lei* being denounced in hi* home for
those patriotic utterance* which called
forth the thank* of Hen. Hill, Waddell,
hinmr and other leading southern
men. Hi* party friend* are seeking to
ostracise him for those opinion* ami
such is the visible tcui|>er of the
|*eop!e who sit in the very shadow* of
the centennial building*. We feel no
interest in Kelley’s fate—we only dep
recate the spirit of those who aie op-
posing him becan*-© of hi* real patriot
ism.
Tiik New fork Herald is always alter
some new eensation and a* often fails
a* it inets with auccesa. It* latest i* to
present the country with a list of suit
able persons, in either party, upon
whom the nominations for the vice
piesidency might be conferred. The
Herald either forgets or ignores the fact
that there art* no persons in the nnion
who are aspirants for the vice preai-
ilency. Still it proceeds to say
"We have presented on several inva
sions the names of centennial candi
date* for the presidency; and we pre
sent to-day a centennial list of «iemo-
cratic and republican candidates for the
vice presidency for public considera
tion. The selection of a vice presiden
usd candidate will necessarily be ruled
by the residence of the presidential
nominee; for it is not probable that
troth Lrandnlates on any ticket will be
eastern or*we»tern men.
DANGER Of THE DEMOCRATIC PART Y.
We regret to see the course which is
lieing pursued by heated partisans in
the democratic ranks towards some of
the statesmen whose names have been
brought forward in connection with the
p.-eaidential nomination. We have
just seen how Mr. Thurman, one of the
ablest and parent men in the union,
has been struck down in the house of
his own friends, and his prospects for
the nomination utterly ruined. Noth
ing that radical leaders and newspapers
might eay could harm a hair of
his head, hut hi* frimd$
so-called, have found it easy enough to
bring min upon him acd his hopes.
The latent effort in this suicidal line
is directed at Governor Tilden, the
bead ami front of the great reform
movement in his dty and state. It
under his brave leadership that
Tweed and hh£band of plunderers in the
dtv, and the canal ring in the atate
were nncarthed and put to flight. It
is no wonder then that Tammany Hall
and such of its organs a* the Evening
Express, once a respectable paj>er,
should now seek to defeat his norninr-
tion; nor should it surprise us that the
canal thieves should creep out at night
like ravening wolves and seek to des
troy him. The plunderers and spoils
men know well enough that they w ill
Mtar.d no chance under Tilden. They
know, too, that their only hope of suc-
ces* is to attack him in the rear—in hi*
own home and *tate—and thu* create
the impression that he ha*
not the support of hi* own people.
The whole enginery of Tammany
Hall lias been put in motion against
him. The World newspaper ha* been
bought up by his enemies, and letter*
private letter*—are lieing *ent out
from New York by the car load all
over the country, Haying that Tilden i*
a good man, a very able man, Imt that
it would lie unwise to nominate him,
since he wonld break up the party in
New York ami lose the state! Some of
these letter* have been sent to < ieorgia.
These Tammany rascal* forgot that
their oppfisition would add 50,000 vote*
to Tilden or any other candidate, and
that their society i* a stench in the
nostril* of honest men everywhere.
It is the fiart of wisdom to have done
with any such course as this. Any of
the statesmen whose name* have been
suggested for the democratic nomina
tion, would make an admirable chief
magistrate of the republic, Tilden or
Bayard from the east and Hendricks,
Thurman, or Pendleton from th'! west;
and the democracy cannot afford to
imitate their opponent* by allowing
blind partisan* to besmirch them or to
ri sort to any manner of unfairness in
order to advance the claims of panic-
u ar favorites. Those great men are
leaders—o jewels.

ANHNOW A PARTY MATTER.
We do not know that there i* a ne-
essity existing to defend tlie demo
cratic par, of (ieorgia in any matter
appertainin ’« Bullick or his adminis
tration, bat w do believe that it is the
duty of every true democrat in the
state to protect himself and his party
from misrepresentation and slander.
The record of the democratic party of
Georgia Is an honorable one, because
made by honorable men and patriots,
and the attempt to connect it with the
responsibility for Bullock’s acts, while
governor of Georgia, is wholly gratui
tous and slanderous.
In tie latest issue of the New York
Time* received at this office, we are
treat«d to tlie following editorial opin-
ons and extract:
‘There is no concealment among the
Imldcr and more honest democrat* in

first, that misgovernment in the south
does not lies lelv at the doors of repub

Here we have “democratic accom
plices” heralded to the world as parties
ho will shield Bullock from punish
ment for his crimes. The people of the
union are invited to draw a legitimate
conclusion from the quoted extract t
the effect that “democrat* have had a
large share” in the “scheme* of corrup
tion” carried forward under radical
rule. The party in Georgia and the
south is charged with a responsibility
for our woes because a certain journal
does not like that the methods which
the law prescribes should l*e
followed by the courts in the
matter of Bullock’s trial. The people
arc asked to consider that the sconn-
d reli*m of the crew which once lorded
over Georgia is but a j>art of a system
of fraud, bribery and corruption which
embraced “ prominent democrats,” as
well as radicals.
This is not true. The assumption
wholly imaginary and the proof gv
tlie'contrary. This manner of at
tack is would than all the utterances o:
the Blaines. Blaine was “satdown”

A Consyitctton wtupo-tsr called on
Governor Smith yesterday and requested the
privilege of a con venation in reference to the
Avery correapondence which appeared in tlie
Coj-stti ution a day or two since. The p: ivllege
was courteously granted, and the following is
the report of the interview:
REroBTXH—With what motive, governor, did
you propound to Col Avery the inquiry iu ref
erence to the authorship of the New York Herald
letter?
Gov 8—1 had heard that Mr Avery was the
author of that letter, acd I naturally felt curious,
to know wh ther the writer of the ven inous
.nit against me therein contained waa the
e person who had bestowed such extrava-
I ganl praises upon me in the “Fopulus” letter
I published in the Cos>titction iu January last.
I Kepoktex—What course did you intend to
pursue if Mr. Avery had avowed the authorship
of the letter?
Gov. 8—Such an avowal would have furm-di
ed me with a proper opportunity for meeting
the charges which the letter outained. Mr.
Avety was a member of tue democratic execu
tion committee of the state, which gave him a
respectable position before the people 1 would
have had no personal controversy with him,
but 1 intended to meet Imchurges square.y by
a statement to the public. This much would
have been due to myself uot only personally but
I officially.
KErownat—Why did you not reply to the
charges when made directly to you by Mr. Avery
j himse’l?
Gov. S—Because his course rendered it impos
J si ble for me to do socousisteutlv with my owu

came on east and paid a visit to his old

Mr. McGonn mentioned that he was
sorry his wife was out of town as he
would like Parker to see her.
And how is she ?” asked Parker. “I
remember her well. Mary Jones she
was before you married her. Splendid
woman ! And how is she, anyhow ?”
“I am sorry to say Mary is dead;
been dead more than twenty years.”
“Oh, I beg pardon,” said Parker.
“Excuse me for stirring up old griefs.
But how is your second wife? Fine

falling in love with pretty women I
ever saw. What is she? Brunette, I
venture to say. Ain’t you going to in

“It is not—not a pleasant subject to
discuss—but—but—my second wife
was laid away in the grave more than
fifteen years ago.”
“You don’t say? Oh, I know, of
course, your second wife, of course; I
forgot about it. Did I say your second
wife? I meant your third instead of
your second. * And how is she? Mc
Gonn, I must know that woman. In

During the last year, tliere lived upon
tho plantation of Mr. A. A. Trible, a
family of negroes, tlie youngest, a
child, about three years old, had tamed
a king snake, and it became so warmly
attached to the child that it would
meet it every day not far from the
house and near a cow pen to lie fed.
The child would fondle it as if it hatl
been a kitten. The parents, when
they first saw the child witli the siinke,
were alarmed, but after a
while became satisfied there
w s no danger, and paid no
attention to it. At the close of last
vear the family moved over to Mr.
Iiond’s, some two or three miles, and
the child grieved about the snake until
it became sick. During ita sickness,
when any person would come over
from Trible’*, tlie child would invaria
bly ask for its “’nako” and was contin
ually calling for it. After a
while it got better, and the
family went, back to Trible’* on a
visit one Sunday ; taking the child
along. Assoon as it got to its old homo
the child slipped off, but, finding it was
watched, came back, and getting anoth
er opportunity it started again for tho
cow pen. This time they were more
careful in watching the child, suppos
ing it was not seen, went to an old
fence row and called, and in a few min
utes Ihe snake made its appearance.
Both seemed rejoiced at the
meeting, and it was not until those who
were watching name near the snake
would leave; it then hid. When the
chiUl was about leaving for home it went
hack and called its snake and carried it
home. Those who saw it say it was as
large a* a man’s arm, but seemed per
fectly harmless and manifested strong
attachment for the child. It was after
wards killed.
Au Emperor's Memory.
Tlie Cincinnati Gazette says: “Tlie
Emperor of Brazil is possessed of a good
memory, whatever may be said of his
way of treating mayors and high coun-
cilmeu. During hisla’e visit to this
city his party drove to the Miami
medical college, where the emperor
alighted and made inquiry for Dr. Mur-
>hy. He was informed by the janitor
n charge that the college was uot in
session, and that Dr. Murphy was not
there. The imperial lightning traveler
then explained that he had met Dr.
Murphy twenty-three years ago in
Paris, and wanted to see him to renew
the acquaintance. During all that in
terval he had remembered not only tho
name of the Cincinnati doctor, but also
that of the college with which he was
connected. After this explanation the
l>om examined the cabinets and vari
ous departments of the college with as
much interest as if he had been abont
to start a medical college of his own on
the banks of tho Amazon.”

It has become lately a habit with
many of us to look upon Washington
as a’ magnificent, proper, but rather
wooden figure-head of the new nation.
There can l)e no doubt, from contemp
orary records, that, on the contrary, he
exerted a tremendous persona! magnet-
ism.
He was a clumsy, slow, heavy man
bat with a sad sincerity of great pur
pose, in every word and action. “There
was an indescribable something in
Washington,” says one of
! his contemporaries “which
awed every man who came
in contact with him.” We have many
pictures of this brilliant court of Phila
delphia, but none which please us so
much as the story of a girl, friend of
lovely Nellie Custis, who spent a night
in the president’s mansion. “When

Washington. D. C., 27.—The New

Augusta, Me., November 25th, 1870,
from James G. Blaine to Warren Fish

procure for Fisher the 190 second part
of the entire franchise of the Northern
and Facific Railroad, including the land
company’s stock. After describing
prospective prospects of the transaction
Blaine says he cannot avail himself of
the opportunity, and following the
first and best impulse, offered
it to Fisher. In the concluding para
graph Blaine says: “Keep my name
quiet. Mention it to no one, unless it
be Mr. Caldwell,”
The Bun also published Blaine’s re
