“Locality in Politics-”
1 nder this caption the Norcross Ad-
rance has some sensible remarks upon a
T<f . r J Useless practice that has ob-
buned very generally in this State, es-
pecially in the selection of Senators. A
Strict is suppssed to be home gener-
■' without lines except those that en-
--cle it; and yet because it is composed
- counties, forsooth a good man repre-
H-itiug the district must stand aside at
1 e Hext election in order that some

15 claim of looality and the
cry to abide the voice of conventions or
caucuses. U nder the former claim it is
held, and has been for years practically
carried out, that the different sections
of Congressional districts, the different
counties of Senatorial districts, and the
different neighborhoods of counties
must each in turn send its representa
tive. The fitness of present incumbents
or the question whether there be a
worthier man in the field is not consid-
Each section must have a show
ing, no mutter TFlTiTs sTiowing is to be
made through an incompetent man at
the sacrifice of an experienced incum
bent who has reached a stage of an in
telligent discharge of public duties.
This claim among intelligent freemen is
shameful. The better, more enlighten
ed sentiment of the country should be
against it. It is narrow, contracted.
Must the political campaigns of the
country be concluded upon mere per
sonal and local considerations ? or should
they rise to the dignity of discussion of
principles and become persistent war
for right and truth ? for statesman like
policies and imperishible ideas whether
they be advocated by this or that can
didate from this or that part of the dis
trict or county ? Is it any wonder that
intelligent honest men, who care noth
ing for party, but who are deeply inter
ested in the future policies of the State
and Federal government, should begin
to inquire after the fitness of candidates'(
This is the true spirit, and though it
does not exist among petty office seekrs,
it is destined to come to the front and
assert its independence in the coming
campaigns. The intelligent aad labor
ing men of the country are tired of the
claims of mere locality, tired of the
personal aspects of political contest*, and
tired of incompetent, inefficient repre
sentatives. They want candidates in
the field who have principles to guide
them, policies to advocate, aBd the
ability to sustain the former and enforoe
the latter.
Negro Congressmen-
At present the African race has seven
representatives in the National Con
gress. Four of these are from South-
Oarolina, while Mississippi, Alabama
and Florida have, each, the facility ot
one.
South Carolina’s birds are Robert B-
Elliott, Rainey, Alonzo G. ltansier,
and Cain. Elliott is a coal black negro,
32 years old, born in New England and
educated in Great Britain. He lives
in Columbia, S C., and is a lawyer,
lii law partner is said to be an ultra
white Democrat, a statement that we
doubt.
A Northern correspondent thus de
scribes his wife:
•‘■Hie young wife is a quadroon, with
a complexion of the creamy hue of the
Southern magnolia, just tinted with a
suggestion of the prim roses on cheeks
and lips; her eyes are large, brown and
expressive, under their long silken
lashes, and she has the sweetest and
brightest expression and manner in the
world.”
Rainey was a South Carolina slave, is
42 years old; a light mulatto, a barber
by trade, well off, and ha? a large fami
ly. -
Rarisier is a negro with French blood
in him, is middle aged, stoat.
Cain is the oldest negro in the Huse,
very black, a colored Northern Metho
dist preacher, and an editor.
Mississippi has the youngest colored
representative—James Lynch, a mulat
to, twenty-five years old, born a Louisi
ana slave.
Alabama's jewel is James G.- Rapier,
burn free, of French descent, educated
iu Canada. He is. a .bachelor, a cotton
planter and possessed of large means,
inherited from his father. He has made
a tour of Europe. .
The last Congressional black bird is
Walls of Florida. He is a school teach
er by profession, and hails from North
Carolina. He is a bachelor and a poor
speaker.
The enthusiastic female correspon
dent of a Northern journal from whose
letter we glean the above facts, thus elo
quently and hifahitinglj tells of negro
ehiqaence:
‘•As orators, the men of Afaican de
scent have an eloquence that touches
the height of grandeur, the depth of
pathos, far beyond that of those whose
pulses beat languidly with the restrain
ed enthusiasm of generations; and' as
humanitarians, in the settling of humsu
affairs, who, after such years of suffer
ing experience, should surpass them.
Why Do I Dislike that Woman.
‘‘You ask why I hate that woman. I
should think you might see for your
self. She has a better complexion than
mine and I bate her for that Her hair
is two feet longer than mine, and I hate
her for that. Her face is fresher than
mine, and that is another reason why I
hate .her. Her jewelry is finer than
any I have, and that is even eno f ' \
for me to talk about her. She lives in
better style than I do, and I hate her
all over for that. She has a new bon
net every month, and I have only six in
a year, and I dispise her for that. She
has beautiful dresses, and they always
fit her so well and that is another reas
on why I hate her. She minds her own
business, and never says mean things'
about any one, and a woman who 'does
that should be hated by every other
woman. Uar lumGrrml is a more protflT- Tioris oTpoUtics, the perpetrators of this
nent man than mine, and I hate her for
that. She never goes about grumbling,
and telling things to make others feel
mean and uncomfortable, and I hate
her on this aecount. She will not lend
me her jewelry, and I feel above any
woman who will not cheerfully lend her
best clothes and jewelry. Then hej
diamonds are real, while mine are paste,
and I hate her for that. Hate her ? I
should think I had enough to hate her
for She can sing and 1 can’t, and I
hate for that. When I offered to tell
her a half dozen lies that I had heard
and twelve that I made up about her
and she would not hear me, I was mad
enough at her to bite her head off—the
struck up, deceitful thing! When I
give her advice she pays no attention to
it, and I hate her for that. When I try
to tell her something about her hus
band 1 that will make Uer hate him as I
hate mine she will not even listen to
me, and I hate her for that. When I
would tell her what somebody or some
other body has said against her she
says she does not care what folks say so
long as she has - her husband’s devoted
love and confidence, then I hate her
more than ever for throwing out slurs
against me. Her breath is sweeter than
mine, and I hate for that. And I’ll
hate any woman that is happier or get
ting along better than I am.
ly become devils in Pandemonium. But
this is the* apology Harper's Weekly
pleads in defense of Congressional re-
cmqptructiou—and this apology er ex-
ease it prefers to an honest Confession
tjfthe fatal blunder and misjudgment
if Congressional reconstruction with
.-Kegro suffrage.
~ it as time rolls on and the evils. Of
suffrage multiply arid spread, apd
ptfjr themselves in all the ramifica-
Apoligies of Reconstruction.
“Harper’s Weekly, a Journal of Civ
ilization,” and up to a few months ago
the most furious and vindictive of all
the champions of Grantism, is justly
scandalized at the specimen of civiliza
tion displayed by reconstructed South.
Carolina, and gives vent to its opinions
and feelings upon affairs in that State,
in at? article which will be found in
this edition of the Telegraph.
The most notable, as well as the most
feeble part of the article, is the apology
thrown out in justification of the Radi
cal party for imposing such a govern
ment upon South Carolina. The Rad
ical party, it seems, knew they were
running “great risks” in putting South
Carolina under negro domination, but
it had to be done, because, in the first
place. South Carolina went to war with
the United States and wae defeated, and
in the second place Andrew Johnson
undertook to thwart and outwit the gov
ernment. Therefore it became neces
sary to run these great risks, which left
little room for surprise or disappoint
ment at the total miscarriage of the
scheme of reconstruction. The Radicals
have not been disappointed at the ruin
ous results which have followed, and the
South Carolinians have nobody to blame
but themselves.
This is the substance of the Weekly’s
ratiocination in defense of reconstruc
tion, and as weak, futile and rediculous
as it is, we suppose it is the best they
can say on the subject. Most men prefer
a weak excuse to a candid confession,
and many would be charged with crime
sooner tha^ . with bluuder. We will
dp the more intelligent Radicals of the
country the justice to believe that they
would not have consigned the negro
States to such utter ruin had they an
ticipated all the dreadful results of their
action. But they were deluded with
the stuff about the 1 ‘inspiration of the
suffrage,” which was then the fashiona
ble rant among Radical orators,
as well as about the capacities and
aspirations of the negro race.
Certainly no man, out of the infernal
regions, can be so bad'and depraved as
knowingly to consign whole common
wealth to the untold mischiefs and mi
series of an iueurafely bad and depraved
government. When, therefore, they
set up that they were-not mistaken, and
yet were not to blame, because South
Carolinians deserved i'; all and cannot
complain, they make taemselves more
wicked and foolish than we think they
really are.
Bad government is not a justifiable
penalty for any crime, however aggrava
ted. Treason u»ay be punished, by the
rightful authority, with the forfeiture
of life or of property, which last the'
Constitution limits by the death of the
actual offender; but no justification can
be intelligently plead for punishment
anybody by making them the victims of
fraud and misrule, and of protracting
this kind of pnuishment through suc
cessive generation-of their innocentMe-
scendants.
Such a scheme of punishment as this
is not worthy of rational men. however
depraved or wicked, and would scarce- 1
treason to American civilization and the
white race will writhe in still greater
shame, and at length no man not a fool
or a knave will venture on any apology
or argument in its defence.—Macon
Telegraph.
A Saloon Keeper’s Death Caused by
a Visit From a Praying Band-
The temperance question is receiving
a great deal of attention in Douglass at
present. On Fast Day a union mass
meeting was held, and a committee of
ladies and*gentlemen appointed to wait
on the liquor dealers. On Saturday the
ladies called upon one of the principal
saloons, the proprietor, Mr. L. Simpson,
having refused to see the gentlemen,
and were received very politely He
was asked if he thought it right to sell
liquors, and responded: “Yes, as right
as for grocers to sell groceries.”
One of the ladies then read several
passages from the Bible, remarking,
‘‘Let us see what the Lord says.” On
hearing the Scriptures relating to the
anger of the Lord with drunkards and
those who sell liqnor, the proprietor
turned pale, trembled violently, and
clutched the counter convulsively for
support. The many loungers in the
saloons were stupified, and only offered
assistance when urged by the ladies.
On being led into another room he
cried several 'times. “O God' have
mercy on my soul!” Immediately his
tongue began swelling, filling his mouth
to such an extent as to render it im
possible to articulate.
The ladies did all in their power to
make him comfortable, and a physician
was sent for who, on arriving, pro
nounced it w-oase of appoplexy, and in
a short time the man died. The com
munity was of course^ startled with the
news, and the feeling for Mr. Simp
son is intense. The ladies all agreed
that it was the Lord, and even some of
the frequenters of the saloon acquiesced
in the decision.
Death of a Member of the Lee Family.
The venerable Mrs. Ann Fitzhugh
died at Iter residence in Alexandria on
Friday, night last, in the sixty-seventh
year of her age. She was a Miss Golds-
borough, daughter of Governor Golds-
borough, of 5laryland. and a family
long distinguished in that Stata. Her
husband was William H. Fitzhugh, of
Raveu?worth, Fairfax county, Va., a
gentleman of pi muse and . rare accom
plishments, but who died youDg. Geo,
W. Parke Custis married his sister, and
thus came the connection of the Lee
and Fitzhugh families. Mrs. Fitzgugh
has been in delicate health for a Ion
time. She never had any children, and
has distributed much of her immense
estate among the Lee family. She held
much property of her own and much
more for life under her husband's will. A
claim for §375.000 damages to the
Ravensworth estate is pending before
the Claims Commission.
A Sociable Governor.
Governor Powell, of Kentucky, was
never an orator, but his conversational,
story-telling and social qualities were
remarkable. His great forte lay in es
tablishing apersoual intimacy with ev
ery one he met, and in this way he was
powerful in electioneering. He chewed
immense quantities of tobacco, but never
carried the weed himself, and was al
ways begging it of every one be met.
His residence was in Henderson, and
in coming up to Ohio past that place
a gentleman overheard the following
characteristic anecdote of him.
A citizen of Henderson, coming on
board fell into conversation with a pas
senger, who made inquiries about Pow
ell.
“He lives in your place, I believe,
don’t he£
“Yes one of our oldest citizens.”
“Very sociable man, ain’t be?
“Remarkably so:”
“Well I thought so; .I think he is-one
of the most sociable men I ever met in
my life—wonderfully sociable I was
introduced to him over at Grayson
Springs last summer, and he hadn’t
been with me ten minutes when be beg
ged all the tobacco I bad, got his feet
up in my lap, and spit all over me—re
markably sociable:”
Strange Things Will Happen-
In, an exchange we find the follow
ing extract from a letter written from
Staunton, v Lrgiaia, whieh tells of how
a young m i; who-had totally and unac
countably lust the power of speech, as
suddenly, and mysteriously-recovered his
natural voice. It says.
On Suuday. 29th ult., and while the
family were in the sitting room, he-
went out to wash in the porch. On re
turning. he said “good morning,” and
clapped his hand to his throat, his coun
tenance indicating great excitement and
alarm. He was. near, fainting, but catch
ing by the door, was supported to a
chair by his brother, where after sitting
a few minutes, he got up and walked
out. Since that time he has been able
.to talk, and has been in good health,
indeed during the whole of his afflic
tion. except for a short time, his health
was very good. He reports- that at the
time his voice returned he had a sen
sation as if something was being pulled
ont of his throat and a board struck
against both sides of his head.
San Francisco claims the third lowest
death rate in the world. Zurich and
^ neva rank first and second.
The woman’s whisky war has actual
ly diminished the sale of liquors in Ohio
and Indianna to such an extent that
the revenue in these states for Febuary
was less by 8300.000 than it was the
previous month. This is a proof that the
effort of the women have accomplished
something more than the exasperation
of the rumsellers There is a general
desire on the part of consumers of cigars
that a simular crusade should be begun
against tobacco. It could hardly fail
to arrest to some extent the consump
tion of the weed, and hence to reduce
the present high price of cigars, to the
.delight of confirmed and hardened smo-
kers-
The New Senator from Massachusetts.
Williau B. Washburn, who has been
elected to the United States Senate from
Massachusetts to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Charles Sumner, was
born in Winchenden, Mass., January
21, 1820. He graduated at Yale Col
lege in 1844, and subsequently engaged
in the business of manufacturing. In
1850 he was a State Senator, and in
1854 a Representative in the Legisla
ture of Massachusifets. He was subse
quently President of the Greenfield
(Mass.) Bank. In 1862 he was elected
a Representative to the, Thirty-eighth
Congress, and was re-elected to the
thirty ninth and Fortieth Congress-
His latest political sueeoss, prior to that
which he now enjoys, was his election
t 0 the Governorship of Massachusetts,
in the nomination for which office by
the Republican State Convention he
defeated Gen, Butler.
