Hill vs. Blaine.
The following extract is from an
editorial published in the Kalamazoo
(Michigan) Gazette, and shows the
difference between the speeches of
Hill and Blaine upon the amnesty
bill, in the nutshell.
‘ Now we have the two characters
presented to the mind of the reader.
Blaine contending to strife,ill-feeling
and bad blood ; and Hill for fellow
ship, good will, and the cultivation
of the noble i apulses of honesty and
charity. One desires to cultivate the
most elevating sentiments, and the
other the worst and lowest passions.
Blaine represents the radical element
iof the Republican party. Hill rep
i resents the Southern element of the
! Democratic party. Every noble im
pulse of the heart of an honest man
i responds in unison with the senti
i mentsof Hill and the Democracy. It
is the lowest, most degrading, and
most hateful perversion of human
nature that can agree with Blaine in
his work of hate. Under his leader
ship the whole country would Jbe
! come a bedlam of strife, confusion
, and bloodshed ; but under the lead
ership of ex-rebel Hill; our oppressed
1 countrymen would become a band of
patriotic brothers. Instead of strife
| and bloodshed, we would have peace
i harmony and prosperity.”
HON MARK A. COOPER,
His Speech on the Resolution in Regard
to an Excursion on the State Road
The f\>llowing is the speech of
Hon. Mark A. Cooper, on the reso
lution toaccept the invitation of the
President of the Western & Atlantic
road to take an excursion to Chatta
nooga, over the railroad, Mr. Coop
er said :
Mr. President: I cannot let this op
port unit/ pass with a silent vote.
Finding myself differing from dis
tinguished Senatojs, with whom it
ha3 been my pleasure to concur on
great and important questions, it be
comes my duty, briefly, to tell why
I think the Senate and the House
ought to accept this invitation. Not
for mere recreation , not for pleasure
seeking, certainly not. Not for kill
ing time, nor even on account of cour
tesy to the source whence it comes,
not so. The business we are called
to here, is paramount to them. But
sir, it ought to be accepted as a bus
iness affair. In this light, and this
atone, would I say yes, and the fact
that m&ny might "not enter on it
with this view—should not deter
your Senators from the occasion of
dutiful service.
The Western and Atlantic Rail
road is a grand and magnificent
property. It belongs to the people
of Georgift, and we, Senators, and the
members in the House, are the ap
pointed agents of the people, have
annually to view and examine it.
The fact that the entire body of the
Legislature is too unwieldy to exam
ine it, does not acquit the body of
blame in the utter neglect to view it,
when an opportunity is courteously
extended, free of cost, by those who,
by contract, have leased "it for twentv
years, and who after five years, ap
plying money, time and ability in
discharge of their obligations, now
call attention to it, that we may
realize its value and aporeciate what
they have done, or if we please, crit
icise defects or omissions and call
them to account.
Sir, it is a matter of business and
of vast interest. Asa matter of bus
iness, what man of our constituents,
the people, having a private inter
est of his own, relatively great, that
he never saw, being in the vicinity
of it, would neglect or decline to
view it in the hands of his tenant,
when, by the teannt, asked to do so?
None. There is none.
Such, sir, is our relations to this
property and to the people. We are
here as agents of the people. With
this immense property -rut our doors
and before our faces—nine-tenths,
probably two-thirds of the
nertn* *’**” ■, auu scarcely realize
that it is> theirs—for all purposes that
people can own it—they probably
may never see it—and yet their
agents are here, charged to look
after, understand'and appreciate it,
with every interest of their’s. Very
many of these agents have them
selves never viewed this property
oft heir constituents. The tenants,
lessees of this property, convinced
that they have performed all their
obligations as lesees, having put it in
good order and in good preservation,
after five years of twenty years lease,
courteously and politely invite the
representatives, “agents” of the peo
ple, to go over the entire property to
view it, free of charge or cost. And
how rU to meet it?
Strange to say, sir, you propose to
say first “We have not time to go.
We must attend to other matters;”
second “we shal' be laughei at and
we will be ridiculed :” third, you
reply, “it will cost the people seven
dollars for each Senator and Repre
sentative;” fourth, “notwithstand
ing all this we return out* thanks for
the distinguished courtesy and hos
pitality so offered.”
If, sir, we are invited into a mat
ter that must bring us into ridicule
and cause us to be laughed at, I, for
one, would not have the Senate go
into it, nor would I nave it adopt a
vote of thanks for courtesy and hos
pitality.
1 take a different view of the sub
ject. We will be in the discharge of
a high and important service-to the
people, which duty calls us to view
this most valuable property, see its
surroundings, its connections, its
present and future presperity—that
we as eye witnesses, may carry back
the facts to the masses, that they
may know what a priceless estate
they have, and wiiat a wonderful
country lies along it, filled with peo
ple of full stature, mind and body,
turning out, annually the elements
of national wealth, of which you and
they, as joint tenants, are proud.—
They have too much sense to laugh
at or ridicule you for such service.
The laughter and ridicule will be by
those who have not mind enough to
comprehend, or thoughtfulness
enough to consider the objects of
your visit. I feel sure that such men
as compose this legislature have 100
much good breeding and seif respect
to subject themselves to laughter or
rid icule.
But you say it will cost the coun
try seven dollars a day, per capita,
for each member of the legislature.
Granted. So it will cost the like
amount for each day spent here in
making laws. Which result is most
valuable? In either case the cost is
only one-twentieth of one per cent,
on the costand value of this property.
What owner of such property wou.d
think this a high commission for
such agents to have his property in
spected ?
“The great objection, however, “we
have not time ,” to view this property.
“Not time.” How much will it take?
One day, at a cost of one-twentieth of
one per cent, and that expended in
five years, for the first time. “Not
time” to see and look at a railroad
built by Georgia, one hundred and
forty miles long, passing through her
territory—so remarkable for its soil,
climate, water, mineral and agricul
tural properties—connecting the cot
ton and the grain regions, the At
lantic and Pacific oceans. “Not time”
to see and know what vast propor
tions of our people and some of this
legislature have heard of hut never
saw, to-wit: the largest and best
property owned by the State in this
Federal Union.
Sir, it cost three millions of dol
lars, and it is worth it all. It now
pays annually in monthly cash pay
ments 5 per cent, on that valuation.
Sir, managed, preserved and opera
ted as it now is, in ten years, it will
pay 10 per cen f .
Reduce your taxes one-half now,
and in 15 years it will pay the public
debt of Georgia. After that, it will
support the government free of taxa
tion, and endow a preparatory col
lege for your University in each con
gressional district in the State. Not
time to view this property and the
country it opens to us. Surely we
will reconsider and resolve to go.
The income ot tho estate owned by
Trinity parish is about five hundred
thousand dollars.— N Y Time*.
