[Correspondence of the Graphic ]
Washington, December 25.—A
few evening past, 1 was introduced
to Senator Norwood, the Georgia
man, who lives at the most prosper
ous town in the South—Savannah.
That city ships the great bulk of cot
ton cast of the Mississippi river.
Mobile is dead and grass grows in the
streets. Charleston is poor except
amongst the German merchants, who

Hayes. About that, I will say noth

wrong, arc always proper forms of
conduct for Ben Hili.”
“Gath,” said the silver-haired
judge, “you musn’t get Senator
Norwood now in print. He’s a most
candid man. and you musn’t give
him away. Ila, ha! you under-tand
me! Ha, ha!”
I might have said: “No! No
body is to be given away but myself.
You great statesmen and their chums
are every day loading up the public
writer, adding the cap, and saying:
“ Pull the trigger ; hut don’t say it

the devil for circumventing anything.
But Ben Hill never keeps a secret,
nor, with all his versatility of shifting
about and diving down under his re
cord, accomplies any results. He in
forms upon himself; in a word, sir,
lie’s impressive and shallow.”
“ Ha! ha!” thought Isuch was

Here we all smiled, and nothing
was needed to complete the hilarity
except that Ben Hill should stride in,
bearing his warlike inkstand, and,
instead of throwing it, give me a dip
to relate the wonders of Georgia as
he might have related them at Nor
wood’s expense. Gatii.

the eastern shore of Maryland, prob
ably the most pious and unselfish
Methodist personality since Aslmry.
Norwood lias lived twenty-five years
in Savannah, but came from the west
ern part of the State. Hill is from
the northeast, and is seven years
Norwood’s senior. All the Georgia
men were educated at country col
leges in their own State.
I looked at Senator Norwood and
saw thc average keen senator —part
gossip, part stump speaker, and over
all thc business factor, llis dark,
coarse hair, wide-flirted gray eye,
big bones, and perfect acquaintance
with whatever he was trying to do,
seemed so natural and yet so. pro
vincial, that I wondered it’Xve Ameri
cans could he exaggerated in our
behavior. We are still the peddlers
of the world in government. Our
legislation is a vast swap. “ IIowTl
you trade ?" ought to he oil tho great
seal of tho United States, and imme
diately under it, as a sort of diplo
matic corollary, “Name your pizen!”
Amongst Norwood’s friends on that
occasion wn9 a Georgia judge; a
smooth-haired, gray, smiling genius,
whose voice was 6oft as a liquid
fleece gently poured down your back.
Under a deferring, melodious, assent
ing exterior, he was a person of
fierce prejudice and clanships. He
had joined his forces with Norwood’s
to re-elect him, and was doing it
slyly as became him, yet assiduously.
WHAT NORWOOD SAYS OF BEN HILL.
I tapped Senator Norwood on the
subject of Ben Hill, and ho ran a
most musical kind of descriptive
cider.
“ Ben Hill,” he said, “ has been
everywhere on every subject. He
takes no thought of the morrow, nor
yesterday either, for consistency
Neither is he a man of policy. He
belongs to that great body of theo-
rizers who have so often misled the
South, and rushes to lead public
opinion where he may abandon the
movement next day. He is now at a
critical movement, mentioned os the
II Stephens challenged him to fight
a duel, lie declined. Hu said he was
too pious and good a man to accept
a challenge.’’
“What piety has Ben Hill?”
“ He professes to be a Methodist ’’
said the sleek ami genial judge.
The gray-eyed senator took an*
other look sidewise and downward*
and continued his story :
“ At the close of the war, sir, wc
were all anxious to get Georgia out
of the chaos and set her on her feet
again. Ben Hill, almost alone, ex
cept Toombs, took tho attitude of a
radical disuniouist. IIu advised the
people never to submit to tbe acts of
reconstruction. They were uncon
stitutional, he said, and of no avail,
lie published a set of letters called
4 Notes on the Situation,’ which were
attractively written and generally
circulated and wore used against ns
in thc North. Tlioir tone was that of
everlasting resistance to the North
and thc Union. • Wc had one genuine
union public man, Joshua Hill—no
relative of Ben Hill—and him we at
tempted to put in the senate of the
United States as our peaco offering.
Every such overture aroused the un-
snhmissive energies of Ben Hill. He
delivered what is known ns the Bush
Arboa speech at Atlanta, couched in
the vein of a new South. We all
were compelled to suffer for those
unguarded and unwise utterances.”
the senator that the lease of the
State railroad to the Pennsylvania
interest was unfair. Because, said
the judge, there was a higher hid
from a Southern company. Senator
Norwood then with much particul
arity showed how Hill was a local
carpet-bagger, and liad been easily
beaten for congress in thc north-east
district, and had only got in for an
unexpired term by a death, a bolt,
and so forth. This was told to show
his personal unpopularity. Returned
to Congress, he had given Blaine the
opportunity to attack the Confederacy
and reopen its wounds by making a
foolish attempt to eulogize it. Hill’s
behavior on that occasion had saved
Blaine and put his party on the de
fensive. t “ And, now,” concluded
Norwood, “when we are closing np
our forces and presidency, we hear
that Ben Hill is looking toward Mr.
Hayes as thc solution of the question.”
ONLY AN ORATOR.
“ Is Hill rich ?**
“ He is probably hard pushed,'sir.
I hear that he is.”
14 Now, lie must have some kind of
ability. What is it?’’
“ He is an orator and a fine speech-
maker. He has that faculty, sure.
It makes some people think him a
man of genius.”

judge, “ always a loose theorist and

ineffable, and relapsed, as if to say,
