DEFENSE OF GOV. TILDEN.
Mr. Hewitt’s Reply to Mr. Kasson Gov.
Tilden’s War Record.
lii the night seasion of Monday in
the House of Representatives Mr.
Ilewitt, of New Y"ork, replied to the
attack of Mr. Kasson, of lowa, on
Gov. Tilden. Mr. Hewitt’s speech,
which was delived at five o’clock in
the morning, after an all night ses
sion, is said to have been one of the
most effective delivered in the Home
for many years. The following is a
synopsis of the speech :
He spoke of Mr. Ivasson’s speech
as a painful surprise and a melan
choly experience. He could hardly
have believed that that gentleman,
with his intellectual endowments,
could have so far abdicated his own
self respect as to have indulged in
the partisan and malieiousstatements
which he had made. He (Mr. Hewitt)
approached the subject as lie would
take hold of a slimy snake, with a
desire to get rid of it. The first
charge was that Governor Tilden
had been ascessionist. It was possi
ble that Governor might before the
lawless strife have entertained views
in common with Jefferson, Madison,
Jackson, and other great men who
had given construction to the consti
tution and govornment of tlie coun
try. At the out break of the rebel
lion he (Hewitt) was in daily and al
most hourly communion with Gov.
Tilden, and he knew that no moie
loyal or patriotic heart was then
beating in the United States. When
the first call for troops came Tam
many Hall, which had then fallen
into the hands of the ing, raised a
regiment. The Grand Sachem of
Tamany Hall 'W, L>. Kenedy) was
Colonel of that regiment, and it was
officered mostly by members of the
Tamany Society.
Sir. Lapham—After the fall at
Fort Sumpter did not Sir. Tilden re
fuse to sign the call for the great
Cooper Institute meeting, and refuse
to attend the meeting?
Mr. Hewitt—lt is not true that he
refused to sign it, and he did attend
the meeting. (Applause on the
Democratic side.) Sir. Samuel Sloan,
then a member of the Union Safety
Committee, of New York, applied
to Sir. Tilden at a time when he was
engaged in the trial of a case, to
affix his name to the call, and his re
ply was : “I am very busy just now.
Send me the resolutions after the
trial of this case, and if they are en
tirely proper I will sign the call.”
The call was never sent to him, but
when the meeting took place he at
tended it, and the resolutions receiv
ed his absolute and unqualifid ap
proval. 1 say now that Tamany
Hall raised a regiment for the war,
and that Gov. Tilden was a large
contributor to that fund.
Mr. Conger—How much ?
Sir. Hewitt—l am not going to
statedollai# and cents. Patriotism
is above dollars and cents in some
quarters.
Subsequently to. that period no
man in New York was more fre
quently called into counsel there and
in Washington than Sir. Tilden.
I know that he was twice called for
by President Linclon, and came to
Washington and held cheerful con
sultation with him, rc-raalti-ng. in the
earlv and rapid tilling ot the quota
from the State of New York, and I
know that during the whole of that
trying time there never was a doubt
as to the loyalty and patriotism of
Samuel J. Tilden. As to the reso
lutions of the Chicago convention
quoted by Sir. Kassou against Sir.
1 ilden. declaring the war a failure
he (Sir. Ivasson) should have known
that within a month past a public
and positive statement had been
made by Sir. Manton Siarble, the
secretary 01 the committee on resolu
tions, that Gov. Tilden opposed that
resolution publicly and privately,
and it was with his own (Sir.
Hewitt’s) knowledge that Gov. Til
den urged General MeClellen (alter
his nomination) ty make such a de
claration iu his letter of acceptance
as would nullify that portion of the
Chicago platform.
Mr. ifandfill —Which was, “the
Union at all hazards.” |
Mr Hewitt .—Those were words
inserted in the Chicago platform.
Gov. Tilden declared that the ad
justment of the cQtdroversey between
the North and the South on any oth
er basis than the restoration ot the
Union was impossible; that the mo
ment any party went opt of the l i
- the question must be settled by
war, and that the war must be pros
ecuted until the question was settled.
These declarations of Jus were .pub
lished in the New York and Chicago
miners at the time of the convention
and that is my answer to the state
ment of the gentleman ot Ohio that
Governor Tilden never made any
declaration in favor of the prosecu
tion of the war, and that he was a
Hi so m inn Ist. In regard to the insinu
ations con nept} ng HQVprnor

(r Hewitt) said that Governor

Tilden’s untiring <.
night; he knew how lie H jry
people to their dens of iniq ‘ wiblic
finally dragged them forth to 11
excretion. (Applause.)
The bare naked fact is this: The.
was war—war to the knife—between
Gov. Tilden and Tweed. (Loud Ap
plause on the Democratic side.) That
is all there is about it. I call the
House to witness that I have an
swered and am willing to answer
every question bearing on the merits
of this ease. No one will intimate
that there was the slightest intimacy,
personal or political, at any time, be
tween Samuel J, Tilden and Wm.
11. Tweed. There never was. There
was that association which comes
from the enforced appoinment of men
on committees from their living in.
tne same community and from be
longing to the same party. But the
one man stood in the community
above and beyond suspicion, and the
other was always an object of hatred
and finally of detestation. I defy the
gentlem to lay their hands upon a
dishonest dollar in the possession ot
Samuel J- Tiden. The people whom
he served are his friends to-day, and
his best friends and it is the service
which he rendered to them that will
notwithstanding the insinuations of
the gentleman of lowa, give him the
vote of those great Western States
within whose borders he reconstruct
'd highways which are to them to-
V v the arteries of commerce and
ings whose value cannot be prop
ortcV~'timated. Through the whole
i\u remarkable career he has been
Thl'w&H .Heh.beu the
J ' t 0 f friends. He has been the
mosfzealous and earnest of patriots.
He is to day the wisest, the most ac
complished statesman in the land,
mid he will, by the blessing of God,
b” one of the greatest-of Presidents
of the United States, because he will
CAIITERSYILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 31, IS7G.
have the opportunity to rescue this
government from the hands of in
competent and dishonest men who
have controlled it so long, and have
made it a reproach in the eyes 01 the
civilized world. Great applause on
the Democratic side.
MAJ- HAR-iROVE AND THE MACON
TELEGRAPH.
To the Editor of the Rome Courier :
I ask a short space in your paper
in order to correct the error of the
editor of the Macon Telegraph and
Messenger, in his allusion to the re
marks made by myself at the Re
publican meeting at Macon on the
night of the 16th inst.
I cannot think that Col. Clisby
would do mean intentional injustice,
and believe that he will gladly make
the proper correction if he is satisfied
that he is in error, In my remarks
at Macon, I stated that if the Demo
cracy was charged with fraud and ;
corruption, that if some of its leaders ]
were charged with being lobbyists ]
and jobbers, some of its members
with being assassins and thieves, j
that these charges came from the i
Democratic sources. I alluded to
the charge as to Governor Tilden’s
connection with Oakes Ames in the ;
Credit Moblier, so called swindle; 1
to his connection with the famous
“copper company,” and its issue of
310,000,000 of change bills in viola
tion of law, and the passage of a hill
ty Congress to have said company
relieved from the pains and penal
ties of a violations of law. This was*
a matter of public record. Gov. Til
den was to be prominently connect
ed with this job, and the charge has
not been denied. He *is further
charged with not having done his
duty in the investigation of the huge
swindle against the city of New
York by Wm. M. Tweed and his as
sociates. The judges, before who
heard, were arraigned, were openly
charged with fraud and corruption,
of which Mr. Tilden had knowledge,
and no effort on his part to have
them investigated and punished,
and this charge was made by Chas.
O’Conor. In all that was said by me
in reference to Mr. Tilden, I gave
Democratic evidence.
As to matters pertaining to the
present Democratic administration
in Georgia, in all that I said I gave
the highest Democratic authority iu
trie party in Georgia. I alluded to
the fact of a large defalcation in the
State treasury. The charges made
by Gov. J. M. Smith against Col.
Jones; the charges made by Col.
P. Thweatt against Col. Goldsmith
the comptroller of the State,
in which all are charged with cor
ruption, and the charges made by
Democrats against Democrats, and I
stated that the people must make up
the verdict by the evidence.
In the course of my remarks I paid
a merited tribute to the patriotism,
virtue and ability of General A. H.
Colquitt, the present Democratic
candidate for Governor, and also
alluded to Governor H. \ T . Johnson,
and Hon. A. H. Stephens as .among
the noblest and truest of Georgia’s
sons, I also said that there were
many Democrats, high minded and
honorable, who had no word of en
couragement for those guilty of law
lessness, and truly desired the good
of the country, and who with the
(rood an* l 1 everywhere denrecia
ted the lawless acts of that band of
conspirators known as kuklux. And
I further said that inasmuch as the
Democracy at St. Louis had aband
onen the heresy that the thirteenth
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
to the conststution were unconstitu
tional, null and void, and had ac
cepted those amendments as valid
parts of the Constitution; that this
was a surrender of the questions and
the acceptance of Republican doc
trine, and that I now looked more
hopefully to the future for more
peaceful times and a brighter d-Jy for
the South. I desire to be just,
will not knowingly mistate facts
in any case, and now wiU the
Macon Telegraph make the amende
honorable?

THE GEORGIA GOLD-FIELDS.
A Tempting Account by a Nasliville Pros
pector.
Mr. O. P. McKoberts of this city,
who has just returned from a visit to
the gold fields in Northern Georgia,
made the following interesting state
ment to a Nashyille American re
porter:
“Jn company with Col. W. A.
Hoskins, which place we left the 6th
of August, taking the Western and
Atlantic Railroad to Marietta, Ga.,
When we'left the cars and took a
buggy to Cherokee county, lying
north Qf Marietta, and being a coun
try lying in the center of what is
known the gold belt. We visited
many old diggings aud a good many
new enterprises just .starting up, with
fine prospects of success, reaching
at a distance of 35 miles northeast of
Marietta. Col. Hoskins’ Franklin
j Mines, a valuable gold property pur
i chased by him sqme two years ago,
and formerly owned and very suc
cessfully worked by Mr. Franklin.
The property is immediately on the
Etowah River, and has a splendid

quartz, a fine gold disseminated
through it, visible to the naked eye,
and in large quantities, pronounced
by the miners to be exceedingly rich.
At the surface the vein was only a

depth of 62 feet it had reached in
width 4 feet 8 inches, and had grad

“Mrs. Franklin sunk a shaft 100
feet deep some 200 yards nearer the

working a 12 foot vein of rich quartz
ore, but feft want of sufficient ma

“We visited many interesting

THAT REMARKABLE ORDER.
The Lord resolution upon which
Grant based his recent Ku-Klux or
der, after reciting the fifteenth amend
ment, continued :
He it resolved by the House of Rep
sentutives, That all attempts by force,
fraud, terror, intimidation, or other
wise, to prevent the free exercise of
the right of suffrage in any State
should meet with certain, condign
and effectual punishment, and that
in any case which has heretofore oc
curred, or that may hereafter occur,
in which violence or murder has
been or shall be committed by one
race or class upon the other, the
prompt prom-’UtW)mdpunishment of
the criminal or criminals in any
court having jurisdiction is import
lively demanded, whether the crime
be one punishable by fine or impris’
on men t or one demanding the penalty
'* death,
solution, says the Mobile
° This •' Q serts or implies
Register , nowhere .... *° ÜB f
that the Federal Executive ...
his troops to enforce the fifteentn
amendment. It merely declares that
the amendment must be enforced.
That is already declared by the
amendment itself. The amendment
simply forbids a State from discrim
inating as to suffrage, and the purport
of the resolution is simply that the
State authorities shall punish those
who violate the non-discrirninating
acts of the General Assemblies. But
Grant jumps to the conclusion that
this resolution calls \,pon him to do
something more t’ aan the laws al
ready compel to do. The Vicks
burg Iribune sayg :
“The resolution of the House de-
clares thab a n offenders against the
fifteenth amendment are worthy of
“prOtnTjt prosecution and punish
meut \n £ny court having jurisdic
tion,’ -but if Grant, Cameron and
.Sberoian imagine that they, jointly
pr severally constitute a “court hav
ing, jurisdiction” to punish citizens
of the United States, “by fine or im
prisonment,” or by inflicting the
“pei alty of death,” they are likely
to find out, whenever they attempt
to exercise any such despotic powers,
that they are the criminals upon
whom a “ciMxrt having jurisdiction”
will sit.
PRIMARY ELECTIONS.
The Southern (Athens) Watchman
says:
We must confess that we are some
what prepossessed in favor of this
mode of selecting candidates, provid
ed it is not abused. It lias been abus
ed in some places—Atlanta for in
stance —but it does not follow that
this will happen again.
Our ideas about a primary election
tnay.Jiiot suit the views of some,
though we believe we are correct.
For instance, wo do not think that
any gen tleman should urge voters to
support him for a representative of*
flee. Th e people should be left per
fectly r.fiee to select whom they
please. There should be no election
eering few a nomination to such an
office. Where a gentleman seeks a
county ofiec, a mere matter of dol
lars and cents, the case is quite differ
ent. He may, wi h propriety, couit
the favor of the. suffragans—it is
merely a busmens transaction, and
he need not fee! any more hesitancy
in pushing his claim* than a “drum
mer” docs >ll soliciting orders for
merchandise. He is not a represen
tative of any man or set of men, but
merely a public servant.
The position of a true representa
tive is very different. In our repub
lican form of government, the theory
is that he reflects the views and rep
resents the interests of his constitu
ents. In no sense can he do this un
less they are left perfectly free to
choose whom they please at the pri
mary election, without any election
eering tricks or even solicitation to
vote. Leave the people perfectly
f reeand untra*nmeled, and they will
always do rigid. Do this and W’e
have what is in fact, as well as the
ory, the real voice of the people.
Wherever the primary election sys
tem may he adopted, we hope all the
voters will turn oui—vote for the
men of their choice*, be they whom
them may, and give it a- fair trial.
In this county as well as Oconee
this plan has been agreed upon, and
we hope it may be fairly tried, so
that there may De no complaint after
wards.
This is written in the interest of no
man or set of men. We are looking
solely to the welfare of the country,
which we think can alone he secured
through the success of the Democrat
ic party. It is not our object, there
fore to promote or injure the interests
of individuals. More important
matters demand our attention.
“Everything for the cause aud noth
ing for the men,” is our motto. The
people have a right to demand the
services of their very best men to act
in a representative capacity, and if
they do not secure such, it is their own
fault.”
THE DEPTH OP'MINING SHAFTS.
Twenty years ago the deepest min
ing shafts in the world reached only
about 2,000 feet below the surface.
The very deepest; we believe, was a
metalliferous mine in Hanover,which
had beeu carried down to a depth of
2,290 feet. The deepest perpendicu
lar shall to-day is the Adelbert shaft,
in a silver lead mine in Prizibram,
in Bohemia, which has reached a
depth of 3,280 feet. The attainment
of that depth was made by the occas
sion of a three days festival, aud still
further noticed by the striking of a
silver medals of the value flourin
each. There is no record of the be
giuing of work on this niing, although
its written history goes back to 1527.
-a_. uiua-jnt commemorative volume
has been written ana pniueu, wmv..
is most interesting so those that have
a taste for the actualities or antiqui
ties of mining industry, There are
two other localities, however where
a greater depth has been reached
than that at the Adelbert shaft, but
not in a perpendicular line. These
are: 1. The Rocksalt bore hole,
near Sperenburg, not far from Ber
lin, which a few years ago bad been
bored to a depth of 4,175 feet. 2, The
coal mines of Viviers, Remus in
Belgium, where the miners by shaft
sinking, together with boring, have
reached a total depth of 3,543 feet.
Turning from these two mines, no
shaft in unbroken perpendicular
lines has yet exceeded the depth of
of 3,280 feet. The deepest bore hole
in the world is the artesian spring at
Potsdam in Missouri, which reaches
a depth of 5,500 feet.
Wpiat General Sherman Says.
—The Washington corresponnent of
Baltimore Sun report an interview
between a member of Congress and
General Sherman. The writer
says:
To-day a Northern Democratic
member of Congress called at army
headquarters and denounced the let
ter of Secretary Cameron to Gereral
Sherman as an outrage and an un
surpation. He said to General Sher-.
man that he hoped that ho would
pay no attention to the letter. Gen.
Sherman replied that it was his duty
to obey all orders and suggestions
emanating from his superiors. Sev
eral Southern Republican members
were at army headquarters to-day
discussing the measures to be taken
under the order of Secretary Camer
on. In Southern States where there
are Democratic executives, it is un
derstood that the plan will be to place
the troops at the disposal of the Uni
nited States Marshals and the inter
nal revenue officers. These officers
are to be drilled in their pares, and
are expected to caU for the troops
whenever political objects are to be
accomplished,
A frontiersman suggests the follow
ing benevolent plan for clearing out
the “Injuns.” He says: “If I wuz
'"'ver’ment I’d buy Pits of bar
- and lots o’ big knives
the . in the
rels of whisK., . ’-in in the
and I’d put ’em so.*-
West: an’ invite every red Sb...
hull land to what ; :a y call a come.-
enee. After theyd got thar I’d knock j
in the heads ’o the barrels and scatter i
the knives all around loose 30 they and
be haudy. Then I’d go away and
leeve the Injuns to themselves- Ot
course, they’d take the whisky and
the knives, and before sun down thar
wouldn’t be more than one retlskin
j left, anti then I go and knock his
brains out afore he could do any more
damage. That, sir’s the onfy reel
way to settle the lujun question.
I’ve'been amon’ ’em an’ 1 know.
Plenty ’o wisky an’ long knives ’ll
* flx ’em out, an’ nothing else will.
