FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 25th, 1875.
EX-SENATOR BAYARD ON THE PO
LITICAL SITUATION.
Ex-Senator Bayard, of Delaware,
for more than forty years an active
politician, was in new York city
a few days since much enfeebled in
health. In an interview, he stated
that he had virtually withdrawn
from political life. The modi of his
colleagues were dead, and age pre
vented him from mixing in active i
politics. He contemplated with fear
and anxiety the spread of corrup-
tion in both parties. He expressed
deep reverence for old constitution
al principles which prescribed the
limitation of powers, and forbade
the interference of Federal govern
ment in internal improvement. The
abandonment of these principles will
breed corruption, and government
interference with railroads or other
matters which should be left to in
dividual enterprise, will undoubt
edly lead to its destruction. He be
lieved it was a great mistake to give
the right of suffrage to the negro
race. They are untutored, full of
passions, without deliberation or ar
gumentative powers, and become an
easy prey of polilitical demagogues.
They did not expect tlm right of
suffrage, but they were worthy of
equal rights before the laws. Re
ferring to Grant’s letter, Bayard’s
opinion was that Grant will take the
third term nomination if he could
get it, and would use armed force
in the Southern States if he saw a
chance of success, but Grant is no
fool. Should the fall elections go
against the adminstration nothing
would be heard of the third term.
If they go otherwise, Grant will be
the Republican candidate for the
presidency next year. Mr. Bayard
is a man of brains and knows exact
ly what he’s talking about.
Ohio Democracy. — The Ohio De
mocratic Convention has again
nominated “Old Bill Allen” for a
second term for Governor and Sam
uel F. Carey for Lieutenant Gov
ernor. Their platform gives adher
ence to the principles of the fathers
of the Republic, .and opposition to
aggressions of either upon the
functions of the co-ordinate powers
of government, or the exercise of
functions reserved to the people;
protection to all citizens, regardless
to anything; one term and twenty
live thousand dollars salary for the
President; no grants of money,
credit or lands to any schemes; the
abolition to national banks, and the
issue of legal tenders to meet the
wants of trade, and the establish
ment of State banks of discount and
deposit, under State regulations;
half of customs payable in legal
tenders; no currency but legal ten
ders; a complete separation of
Church and State, and no secular
schools. Continued tyranny and
cruelty to the Southern States de
nounced .
Iteg-The trial of "Win. L. Cash,
charged with the murder of Col. 0.
S. Holland, of Columbus, took place
in that city last week, The jury re
tired for consultation on Saturday
afternoon, and on Monday morning
returned a verdict of voluntary
manslaughter. The Court House
was packed with spectators when
Judge Bartlett sentenced the pris
oner. The judge spoke of his re
gret at the unpleasant duty that de
volved upon him, but said that the
law must be enforced. He sen
tenced Cash to the peniten
tiary for ten years. Cash heard
the sentence without a change of
countenance. Ed. Cash and Tlios.
McEachern, charged with the same
crime as "W. L. Cash, will not be
tried until the next term. Colum
bus was cunsiderably excited over
this trial and comments were vari
ous. The jury was composed of as
good men as could be found. A
motion for anew trial will be made.
&&&“ The steamer which arrived
in New York on the 17th, from
Havana, brought information that
there were thirty cases of yellow fe
ver in Havana when she left.

! THE NEW ARISTOCRACY 0? THE
SOUTH.
The IHite ill the I,ami at llieCapitol.
“Hear land o’ calc, sand brother Scots,
* Fral maiden—kirk to Jobnie Groats;
If tiler’s a hole in a your coats,
I reado ye tent it.
A child among yo taking notes,
And faith hc'ii preud it.''
All honor to Governor Chamber
lain who has had the courage to
denounce the evil doings of his
party, and begin the great reform.
Too long lias the legislative halls of
South Carolina been usurped by
unprincipled mamon seekers and
adventurers. From the highest to
the lowest the motto seems to have
been “steal all you can.” Now that
the reform has commenced a para
graph is going the rounds“since the
Governor has been driving the !
thieves from their hiding places,
the authorities are widening Hell
Gate.”
The waning party seem deter
mined to go down with flying col
ors. Daily they hang out their
banners, and right curious arc
some of them wrought. During my
two days sojourn at the capitol, I
noticed several. One of the great
I am’s may frequently be seen dash
ing along the streets in a gorgeous
vehicle; by his side a buxum ne
gress habited in a lavender costume
trimed with white lace; her hair
falls in gentle ringlets over her sa
ble brow and sparkles with cut
glass that sheds a halo of light
around her lubly face. I was told
that her companion, the carpet-bag
ger by her side, had left liis wife in
his distant New England State,
while lie “sported” with tins lovely
damsel. A white man, one of Un
cle Sam’s ex-Federal soldiers, filled
the dignified position of driver for
the attractive couple.
A distinguished light of the new
regime may frequently be seen
“struting” down the streets. He
may be known by the beautious
locks that surround his classic brow
and the light that illuminates his
countenance. During his stay
among his adopted people, he pro
posed to a beautiful bronzed belle;
but Iter papa, did not think him el
igible.
Another milk and water man
hails from Ohio, and is the brilliant
representative of a neighboring dis
trict. He always endeavors to be
primeua inter paris and always has
weighty matter on had, privately he
is entre deux vins.
One of the celibrities, who has
recently come to grief, formerly
kept an oyster stand in New York.
He came South, his new friends
“put a handle” to his name, and
elected him to a fat office, and he
became a distinguished member of
the shody aristocracy. He like oth
ers of the important aristocrats, ac
cording to the old adage of “birds
feathers Hock together” soon found
his proper beat—regardless of color
or previous condition
One of the celebrated belles of
the new regime was in by-gone
days a belle do chamber in a hotel of
this city. Since then she has risen
to the highest ton of modern fash
ionable society. She was present
at Grant's Inaugeral Ball,(and since
then has attended several of our
Presidents receptions. I passed her
on the streets; her costume was all
that groveling mortals here below
would wish. A saffron movie an
tique draped the form of this lovely
lanatique, cut in M’me Demmerest’s
latest Parisian style, via balloon
with a tight over skirt, knoted and
flounced. This gorgeous habili
ments was firmly held to its place
by an oride clasp out of which pour
ed an Alaska paste, upon her culled
arms and neck paste in rich profu
sion startled.
One evening going to the cam
pus about the hour the military
baud give their open air concert.
I was highly “edgeified” at some of
“de poplar culler” who drove up
and down between the band and
the visitors,displaying his make up.
He wore a silk hat, which, perhaps,
was the style in the year of “one.”
His face was like ebony, "he wore a
striped shirt, on which reposed a
pro forma, a yellow “west" black
coat and checked pants, his lion
legs had generously uncoiled them
selves and hung gracefully over the
side of the buggy. Seated by his
side was a bright mulatto; her cos
tume had been got up regardless of
cost or the opinion of “dat white
| trash.” A broca&inemegligee looped
up with jassemine draped her pret
ty form; from the back of lit r head
swayed a waterfall of lordly pro
portions; above it rested the mental
remains of a bird of paradise; one
hand displayed a number of rings
of doubtful composition, while the
I other convulsively grasped a bril
j liant parasol, on the bosom of her
! dress, lent a la Pompadore and filled
j in with trulle was a flour delis;
| from he neck floated several feet of
] Brussells nett.
The reigning belle of the evening
was en promenade. She was attired
in a green silk, with a sky blue bon
net, silk overshirt heavily flounced.
A pink sasli around her waist, a red
ribbon with a “loud” bow around
her neck and a white one with a
fan attached, dangled at her side.
Her hands were encased in lemon
kids; her hair was done up ala for
l’isine and her bonnet was dicidedly
modish. Language i.s inadequate
to.convey an idea of this twinkling
star. She charmingly displayed a
new monchoir and delightfully en
tertained the numerous insects that
fluttered around her. She seemed
to fully understand the advantages
of wealth, but was ignorant of the
well nigh forgotten fact,that wealth
does not always makes aristocrats
and frequently covers a multitude
of sins and a very humble origin.
W ARRINGTON.
bt-if At the Mayor’s reception in
Bdfeton, Mass., on the 19th, General
Fitzliugli Lee spoke as follows:
Mr. Mayor—l have but very few
words to say. I came here not ex
pecting to speak, and I think we
have had enough speeches and
fully understand everything; but I
unite with the gentlemen in thank
in you and the city of Boston and
its vicinity, through you, for the
very cordial and gratifying recep
tion which we have met here. We
expected to be the recipients of some
little civility at the hands of the
gentlemen of Boston—even those
who differed most widely with us —
but we were not prepared to meet
with this enthusiastic and splendid
demonstration which we have wit
nessed at your hands. We will re
turn to Virginia and we will tell
those people that they should come
here and see for themselves, as we
have seen, the people of Boston and
they will feel as we feel—that this
is a great country and that we form
a part of it. I thank you most sin
cerely, sir, for your kindness and
hospitality.
After a few minutes social conver
sation, Mayor Cobb shook each by
the hand and bade them good-bye,
again assuring them he appreciated
their visit most highly
The Beecher “Cussedners,” — All
reflecting people agree with the
Wilmington Star that more harm
to the morals of this country has
been done by the trirl of Henry
Ward Beecher than by forty thous
and ordinary police trials with all
of the flaunting accompaniments
graphically and gorgeously set
forth in pictorial papers. The
whole affair reeking in licentious
ness and perfumed by the upas of
hypocrisy has been read and dis
cussed in all the land. The melan
choly spectacle of religion reviled
and dragged through the mire, of
woman dishonored and trampled
under foot, of thousands feeding on
foul swill and smacking their jaws,
like swine at trough, over the bes
tial repast is too horrid to be made
the subject of refined or long con
tinued comment. The hope, long
deferred, is that the dreadful busi
ness will be through soon, when we
can scrub oft’ the debris and sprink
le the lime of moral purifying over
the scene of the corruption.
Charleston at Boston. —The
Washington Light Infantry of
Charleston, S. C., w’ere entertained
at dinner by the Old Guards of
New York, at the St. James Hotel,
Boston, on last Friday, and left in
company with them at 5 :40, by the
Fall River Line. The veterans of
the Seventh regiment left by a spe
cial train for New York. Saturday
they acted as escort to the Charles
ton soldiers on their arrival in
New York, and entertained them at
Delmonico’s. At 3p. m. the latter
took a steamer for home.
Peter Finnegan, who was recent
ly tried at Columbus, for the mur
der of Charles Waldiug, was, on the
10th instant, sentenced to be liuug
on July the 30th. Jas. Kilgore, for
the murder of Coulter, will also
hang the same dav.
O v
THE PULLMAN CAP..
The Atlanta Constitution, one of
our ablest exchanges, thus speaks
of that negro-loving crowd, the
Pullmans, of Pullman Palace Car
noterieiy. We would set up all
night for twenty-four years before
we would ride in one of those dirty
cars belonging to Pullman:
‘•'Judge Lochcrane’s defense of
the Pullman palace car companies
is full of rounded sentences and
glittering generalities, but very de
ficent in substantial points. It cun
ningly avoids the weal-points of the
Pullman side, and come out power
fully on a technicality. That tech
nicality consist in denying that an
order—a printed order is evidently
meant—has been issued to give the
negroes free access to the Pullman
cars. No one for a moment sup
poses that a printed or written order
was ever issued. The managers of
the allied companies are shrewd
men, and the subject is one that de
mands careful and insidious treat
ment. But we have the best of rea
sons for asserting that the wishes cf
the management have been handed
down through the different grada
tions of employees, until every con
ductor .is informed that“no respecta
ble negro” can be excluded from a
Pullman car, provided he offers to
pay for the accommodations he de
mands. This is an order to all in
tents and purposes, and we assert
its existance. Judge Locbrane ab
solutely admits its existence when
ho says that the Pullman sleeping
car companies will not “expose
themselves to the suits and annoy
ances of litigation” that would grow
out of violations of the civil rights
bill. He speaks as a man having
authority, and we accept his evi
dence as final. But, to satisfy the
curiosity of our readers, we will en
deavor to lay before them, in the
course of two or three days, some
more evidence on this point.
The counsel for the Pullman cars
indulges in a great many general
phrases that are liable to mislead
the unwary. For example, he says
that the Pullman Southern Car
Company “combines Southern capi
tal and capitalists.” So it does, but
the bond of union is so thin that it
is almost imperceptible. The sim
ple truth is, George M. Pullman
and his friends own the larger part
of the stock in both companies, and
no stock worth mentioning is held
below Louisville. Certainly there is
not enough to have any influence in
dictating the policy of the compa
nies. Both of the Pullman compa
nies are entirely under the control
and direction of George M. Pull
man.
Who is George. M. Pullman ? He
is an exacting, arbitary and exceed
ingly egotistical man; a bitter Radi
cal in politics, and worse still, a
confidential friend of the man on
horseback. Their cottages join each
other at Long Branch. Gen. Por
ter,who sleeps iii the Grant cottage,
is paid ten thousand dollars a year
by the occupant of the Pullman cot
tage. Porter’s duties as Vice Pres
ident of the Pullman lines are con
fined to the drawing of his sala
ry- , ,
W r e do not propose to let J udge
Loclirane or any other man make a
hero out of George M. Pullman, or
to deceive our readers about his real
sentiments. One of his official acts
is sufficient to show what kind of a
man he is. Long before any negro
thought of applying for berths by
virture of civil rights or any other
act, President Pullman issued a pass
in peculiarly broad terms to a South
Carolina negro by the name of Car
dozo. The fact that the recipient
was a leader in the Moses crowd of
plunderers does not, we opine, alter
the case to a great extent. This pass
directed the conductors of the Pull
man cars to grant the bearer “equal
facilities and privileges in the sleep
ing-cars with any other good citi
zen.” It was signed by Mr. George
M. Pullman himself, and dalivered
to J. N. Cardozo, who was and is a
very bad negro. The date of the
pass was about April, 1873. It was
an anual pass. It was good where
ever there was a Pullman car. It’s
subsequent history is in our posses
sion, and if Judge Locbrane thinks
these facts are imaginary, we will
take pleasure in presenting the
whole story of this offensive and
needlessly insulting act of Presi-'
dent Geo. At. Pullman to our read
ers.

The Supreme Court reversed the
decision of Hopkins, of the Fulton
Superior Court, in regard to taxing
the Western and Atlantic Railroad,
Georgia Railroad, and Augusta and
Waynesboro Railroad. It is held
that the roads are only liable to a
tax of one and a half of one per
cent, on their net earnings. The
court held that the Central Railroad
and the Southwestern Railroad
must pay the tax levied, and sus
tains Hopkins' decision in regard to
these roads.
Dsg“A coroner who hasn’t had a
job in a good while, and feels that
he has been wronged, complains to
Max Adeler: “Why: there’s Belcher
come home from Peru with six
mummies that he dug out of some
sepulcher in that country. They
look exactly like dried beef. Now,
my view is that I ought to sit on
them things. They’re human be
ings; nobody ’round here knows
what they died of. The law has a
right to know. Belcher ain’t got no
doctor’s certifiicate about ’em, and
I’m sworn to look after all dead
people that can’t account for bein’
dead, or that is suspicioned of dyin’
of foul play. I could have made
fifty dollars out of them dead Peru
vians, and I ought to’ve done it.”

Sheridan’s B-P.ide has thus
been done into poetry: The first
that the General saw was the
group of wedding guests, then the
presents in troops. What was done,
what to do, he knew like a book,
then seizing her hand with a lov
ingest look, he marched down the
room mid smothered huzzas, and
the friends on each side held their
breath then, because the words that
the priest spoke compelled them to
pause. With lace and withs ilk the
fair lady was gay; by the flash of
her eye and her fan’s nervous play,
she seemed to the whole smiling
country to say, “The conquerer’s
conquered, don’t you see, lo! She. -

Atlanta Constitution: An em
ploye at the saw mill of A. M. Left
witch, four miles from Lithonia on
Wednesday, while employed in
work about a circular saw, met with
a terrible fate. The name of the
unfortunate man we did not learn,
but are informed that he was a mar
ried man. While engaged about
the saw, his foot slipped and he fell
in front of the saw. He struggled
to get up, and the saw took off first
one arm and then the other. The
agony of the wounded man was
fearful and in his paroxysms his
feet came in front of the saw and
its insatiate teeth gnawed their way
into his groin. At last accounts he
was still lingering, though suffering
intensely.
