A SOUTHERN VIEW.
Aa Interview w th Bca Hilt, of Georgia,
oa the PoLliesl Situotloa
A £(*od deal of random gossip has
leen afloat here for some days as to
! the sentiments said to t e entertained
hy the Southern Congressmen with
j :efer* nee to Governor Hayes and a**
'to their liking for him, Tu ascertain
the real nature of this fueling Mr.
Ben Hill, of Georgia, who was foie
muet in the caucus in deprecating the
presidential impeachment propoei
; don and w ho has been classed among
the Southern Congressmen said to be
alnnnt inditferent whether Hayes or
Tilden is next President so lo.ig as the
iSonthern States secure a g > -d local
i gtivernment, vtas this evening asktsi
to give a statement ot his views of
the situation and his opinion tegani
ing Governor Haves.
Mr. Hill, in answer to the lirst
question put to him, said :
“I regarded General Hayes’ nomi
nation from the loginning as a vic
tory over the ultraisms of t.ie repub
lican party. It was a defeat, in my
judgment, of the military element, so
much to Le dreaded in the civil ad
ministration of all free governments,
It was also a the political,
belligerent element of the republican
party, which seems to have no place
for statesmanship or policy except
to loment sectional hates and pa.--
sions. 'i he South, above all things,
wants an honest administration of
the general government, according
to the constituiion. I do not know
Governor Hayes personally, but from
the information I get concerning him
I believe he is an honest and a fair
man. Being a lawyer he is also fa
miliar with civil matters, and will
naturally have respect for the consti
tution and civil methods. These
things being true he must necessarily
discontinue the unwarrantable inter
ferences in the affairs of the South ;
he will also naturally desire the co
operation of the best men in the
South. If this lie true his adminis
tration w ill he a great gain and im
provement t the Southern people.
The Southern people have no de ire
to resist tin federal government, but
they i o desire to be regarded as a
portion of tiiis country, and entitled
to the administration in the South,
exactly as that administration is ex
tendea to other portions of the coun
try, and if she can get this plain,
houest administration, and best peo
pie can be recognized by the federal
administration as the proper repre
sentatives of Soutiiern interest and
sentiment, the whole country will
perceive at once that tiie ultraisms
charged upon the Scuth will have no
foundation in fact.”
Correspondent—Do ytu anticipate
that there wou and he any trouble in
the Anal disposition of this presiden
tial quest on?
Mr. Hill—There is, in my opinion,
neither necessity nor excuse for
trouble in the settlement of the pres
idential question. If we are as pa
triotic as the men who framed the
constitution we shall find no difficul
ty whatever in its fair and true inter
pretation. There can be no possible
apology for a breach of the peace,
nor for any physical collision, much
less for a civil war. 1 must be per
mitted to say that the chief trouble
of tlie present situation lies in the
deplorable fact that too many of the
prominent leaders of both parties
teem to be exerting all the Ingenuity,
not in discovering the truth about
the election, but in devising ways to
secure a mere party tiijmpb, and I
am afraid they are only
too willing to secure a mere
party truiuph by any means,
foul or lair. Ido wish some means
could be adopted to make General
Grant realize that he is the President
of the whole country and not the
President of tiie Republican party. I
must confess that no feature of the
situation gives me so much uneasi
ness of the evidences I daily see that
General Grant seems to think that he
is under some obligation to use his
oftice to secure the success of Repub
licanism. If my fears in this respect
are well grounded and General Grant
should persist in such a partisan ad
ministration of the Government,then
I do fear the most serious consequen
ces will result.
Correspondent —Will not those rep
resentatives now in Congress who
have seen service in the ex-confeder
are army, hy the calmness, modera
tion and counsels, as shown in the
house, exercise a good influence in
the peaceful solution of the present
difficulties ?
Mr. Hill—l certainly think so.
These representatives feel keenly,
the embarrassments of their situation.
These are the subjects of suspicion.
This suspicion may be considered
somewhat natural. Asa result of
this feeling they are not inclined to
make themselves prominent or con
spicious in directing events, but you
may rely upon it they will be calm,
self-poised and determined to do
whatever they can to secure a peace
able solution of the present difficul
ties. If war must come it will not
be their fault. And now let me add
emphatically that, come what may,
the southern people will remain in
the Union and true to the Union.
They have tried secession, and they
know it bore no fruit but bitterness,
They will never try it again. The
people of the North, too, should
know that the negro will receive
from the Southern people absolute
protection in all his civil and politi
cal rights. The South has no preju
dices against the negro ; we charge
none of our wrongs to the negro; it is
our interest not only to protect the
negro, but to do all we can to edu
cate and improve them; he is a citi
zen ; he is a freeman, and it is our in
terest to make him a wise votes.
This is especially true because the
fourteenth amendment increases
the power of the South in the elector
al college and in Congress. We would
not, therefore, if we could, take the
the right of suffrage away from the
negro. The South is uot afraid of
the negro ; when sinister influences
are moved from him he is docile and
easily governed, and, being a necess
ary element in our society, we are
also desirous that he should be uu
element of power with us.
Correspondent— ln what form or
shape would these seriouseonsequen
cca be likely to come up.
Mr. Hill—Weil, if I understand tho
position of the republican party they
; will insist that the piesident of the
senate alone shall not only count the
votes as the organ of the two houses,
but that he should determined all
questions arising in the count. Thi*
position manifestly absurd. He is
a presiding officer; he announces, re
sults. but he must announce them as
the mouthpiece of the two houses*
according to the positon of the repub
licans mouthpiece is not only judge,
hut he is an absolute judge and must
determine all questions which, from
their nature, can only be determined
by the two houses If he refuses to
entertain objections and take up him
self, and not only to count the vote,
but to determine also what vote shall
be counted, be will simply declare
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 31. 1870.
Haves elected president. This nouse
will deem it it 9 duty to enter a pio
test against such arbitary adjudica
tion by this mere presiding officer,
and if the house shall honestly con
cluded that Gov. Hayae is not elect
ed and proceed to elect Tilden, as
they are required to do by the con
stitution, I suppose General Grant,
with his idea that he is administering
the government for the success of the
republican party only will seek to
use the military’to inaugurate Gov.
Hays**. Of course no man can foresee
tiie results of such a policy. They
cannot lie otherwise than disastrous
to the whole country. One thing is
certain, tiie southern people want
peace; they know well what war
means; they know *hat civil war is
the remedy fur no wrong, but an ag
gravator of mII wrongs. Their rep
resi (Datives an congress will use all
their best exertions to secure peace
able solution of all tiuse troubles.

EX-GOV. BROWN.
The following letter from Governor
Brown, is printed in the late issue of
of the Rome Courier:
Hon. Augustus 11. Wright, Rome,
Go:
Dear Sir—As you have noticed,
no doubt, in the newspapers, we
were unable to do anything with the
Radical majority of tiie Canvassing
Boiird of Florida, except to expose
their villainies. Any other count
than one made by them would havt
counted themselves out of office, as
tly are appointed by tiie Governor;
aud they therefore determined to
throw out counties and preeints that
had given Democratic majorities,
until they had overrun onr majority
and established theirs. Tiiis was
done upon mere pretext, with an un
blushing audacity which you have
seldom seen. Upon any fair count
that could be made, Tilden carried
the State honestly. So did the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor and
the twocandidates for Congress, with
a majority of the Legislature Demo
cratic. Hut two out or the members
of the board were a majority, and
no influence that could be brought
to bear upon them could control
them, or did any sense of shame
deter them. We have left the matter
in a condition, however, where the
Congressional Committee can have
tide difficulty in getting at all tiie
facts, and have no doubt that the
honest men upon it will report the
action of the board as an outrage
upou justice and law.
Very truly, your friend,
Joseph E. Brown.
No More Fooling.— A woman
named Hastings, living near the
House of Correction, came down yes
terday in search of her husband, and
finding him hanging round the post
ofliee waiting for ‘-latest returns,”
she collared him, and called out:
“I want you up home.”
“Not yet dear ; I want to hear the
result,” he replied.
“You come along home!” she re
peated. “I want to see this thing
decided as much as you do, but we
are out of wood, flour, moat and po
tatoes, and we’ve got to eat whether
this country ever has a President or
not.”
“I’ll come up this evening after
I hear the result,” he protested.
“The result cun be learned right here
Peter Hastings!” she chuckled,
catching him by the collar. “Now
you trot, or I’lfdouble you up before
the crowd !”
“Leumie hear from Louisiana—
only from Louisiana !” he pleaded.
You’ll near from me!” she howled,
giving him a shake, and seeing that
she was backed by the crowd, he
meekly followed her away. —Detroit

Rev. A J Jarrell, being in atten
dance upon the Confeienc© at Sparta,
came over by the Saturday afternoon
to see his many friends in this com
munity, after an absence of two years.
He was located here for four years,
and obtained a stronghold upon the
the affections of our people of ail
classes and all denominations. He
preached at the Methodist church
last Sunday morning, and although
the weather was very cold the con
gregation was very large. At the
conclusion of the service the people
crowded around him all eager to take
him by the hand. In tho afternoon
he pleached at the Factory Chapel,
anti delivered a short address to the
Methodist Sunday School. At night
he preached by invitation, at the
Presbyterian church. He returned
to Spasta Monday morning, but
promises, on the adjournment ol con
ference, to come back and visit his
friends. —MUedgevWe Recorder.
Round the world tourists crossing
the Pacific en route for Japan, on ar
riving at the 1801 h degree of longti
tude, drop a day from their calendar,
the returning ship adds a day to its
reckoning. It happened to the
Dr. Field crossing this meridian on
the 2Slh of June, which fell on a
Sunday to enjoy two successive Sun
days in mid-ocean, one of w hich was
the Sunday of Asia, and the other
that of America and Europe. The
reverend chronicler sadly rocords the
fact that many of his fellow voyagers
in their perplexity as to which day
ought to be observed, failed to keep
either day, and so, instead of gaining
two Sundays, lost the one which was
theirs of right.
Gov. Kemper, of Virgiuia, in his
message to the General Assembly
stated that the Slate debt amounted
to $33,000,160 73. Not w dollar of it.
according to the Governor, was con
tracted during or since the war.
The debt is less than one tenth of
the assessed values in the State.

th* Return mt Um “Sn of Lihorty Mnll”
to Wuhlaftea City.
The foiiowiug article, written for
the Augusta Constitutional iM , is from*
the pen of Mr. T. K, Oglesby. The
views of Mr. Stephen* therein ex
pressed may be cousideretl as ex
cathedra:
Washington, DC., Nov. 28 *74.
You have already been informed,
by t ltgraph and mail, of the arrival
in this city of Hon. A. H. Stephens,
the immediate repres mtative iu Con
gress of the Eighth Georgia District.
Mr. Stephens left hie home, at Craw
ford ville, a week ago last Monday,
traveled to Atlanta i 1 a special car
kindly furnished for his own use and
comfort by Col.* S. K. Johusoa tiie
Superintendent of the Georgia rail
road. Though a bed was provided
for him iu the car lie did not use it,
but made tiie journey to Atlanta
without once having to lie down. It
was really a touching sight to see his
dejairture from home—from that un
preteuding little village, among
whose people he has lived for more
than fifty years. Nearly all the in
habitants of the place, black as well
as white, gathered at the depot to bid
him goodbye and ****** l>Mu go uif, nm)
many aud fervent u’ere the wishes
utiered that he might return to them j
safety ottce more. There was a geu- j
eral rush from the other part of the
traiu towards Mr. Stephen's car as
>OOll us it was known that he wus on
board, and ail along the route,.
wherever it was known, the c. r was
surrounded by people eager to see
and, if possible, speak once more
w ith their distinguished fellow-citi
zoii. Most of them had never ex
pected to see him again iu this life.
Mr. Stephens came by way of At
lanta for two reasons. He desired to 1
attend to some business iu connection
with the memoir ol his brother, the
late Judge Linton Stephens, which is
in the press there; ana he could get
through from Atlanta to this city
without change of ears. This was au
important object with him. He spent
two dayes in Atlanta, having his
rooms at the Kimball House, where
he was visted by a great number ot
people. He left Atlanta the after
noon of Wednesday, the 23d of No
vember, in a chartered Palace sleep
ing car, and reached Washington on
tiie morning of Friday ttie 2oth,
having coiue through without stop
ping over any where and without j
changing cars.
Of course, when it was known—as
it speedily was-that the distinguish- j
ed Georgia statesman was iu theCap
tal, his rooms at the National was
soon filled with callers—old frieudsto
welcome him back again, stranger*
make his acquaintance and represen
tatives of the the press to interview
him o 1 the '‘situation.” As this is a
subject on which I Enow your.read- (
ers would like to hear from Mr.
Stephens, I will give you the sub
stance of a conversation between him
and a number of visitors to-day,
among whom General Jones, of
Maryland, Ex-Governor Jenkins of
Georgia, Mr. , of Maine and
Mr. Russell, of tiiis city. Severn
other gentlemen were present and
some ladies also.
On '>eing uaki.nl what he thought
of the prospect, Mr. Stephens replied j
that it was dark and gloomy, but
not more so tnnn he had often wit-
UW9OU lltfirll/fvit:. In tn ffhj.
gratulationaon his return, and the
remark that many of them were
looking to his consels in this emer
gency, lie expressed his gratification
at being able to be here, and said hi
should certainly do all in his power i
to secure a proper and peaceful solu ;
tion of the questions agitating the
country. Concerning the ptoceed
ings in Columbia—the ocupation of
the State House and the interference
of the military in the organization
of the Legislature—Mr. Stephens
said tie thought very badly of them
as reported in the papers. To the
question, “Is it any worse than the
like organization off the Louisiana
Legislature in ISTC ?” he answered
“Infinitely worse. The cases are
w idely different. In Louisiana Fed
eral interference was assumed npou
the principle and avowed grounds ot
maintaining the laws of a State as
expounded by the highest judicial
tribunal of that Slate. In Louisiana
the Supreme court had decided that
a certain set of men, composing a Re
turning board were legally constitut
ed, and that the decision of this
board in favor of the Kellogg gov
ernment was right and according to
the laws of the State. In South Car
olina, as I understand it, the Su
preme court of that State has decid
ed that the acts of the Returning
Board in awarding certificates ot
, election were not in accordance w'ith
I the laws of that State. Federal
in the one case was based upon the
; assumption of maintenance of State
; autthority, while in the other it is,
if reports lie true, otherwise of State
authorities, eveu the highest—that
of the Supreme court—in their con
struction of State laws. The cases
Louisiana and South Carolina are
| therefore totally different.
As to what will be the result Mr.
Stephens said : “I cauiiot say,
or even venture a conjecture
at present. We must patiently wait
the development of facts and event.
After the first Tuesday in December
when all the colleges shall have act
ed and cast their votes, we shall have
more light on the subject.” When
askt'd if Congress couid take juris
diction of the subject, he said : “I
think, so, without doubt; I think
moreover, that they will; and if
patience, prudence, wisdom and
patriotism govern their counsels, I
think the right will ultimately pre
vail, without any disturbance of the
; peace or harmony of the country.”
Trulv consummation devoutly to be
I wished!
Mr. Stephens stood the travel here
much better than lie expected. He
occupies his eld quarters at the Na
tional Hotel, on Pennayl vania avenue
Ilis rooms are next to those occupied
by Mr. Clay at the time of his death
and there is an uninterrupted flow of
visititors to and from them all day
long. irorn ail parts of the
country. As he was not present at
the organization of the present Con
gress he will require to he sworn in
u|>on taking his seat this session. God
grant that the same spirit of patriot
ism which animates him may influ
ence the action of every member of
the Congress now about to meet in
deli e ation upon questions involv
ing the life of the Republic.
