THURSDAY, APRIL 15. 1875* Connecticut sill Itiglit. It was with exceeding gratifica tion that we chronicle I in our last issue, the decisive Democratic suc cess in Connecticut. Occurring on the heel of the election in New Hampshire, where it was bonsting ly claimed, that the victory-flushed columns of the Democracy hail sus tained a signal check, the struggle was regarded by all parties with peculiar interest. The issue was to decide whatever was of doubtful significt nee in the New Hampshire election, and prove an augury ol success or disaster in the grand campaign of "76. Ingcrsoll's re-election by an in creased majority, and the return ol a Democratic legislature despite the most active opposition, may well be accepted as convincing proof that the drift of public sentiment, as ex hibited in the Western elections, is still surging ahead, and that the people of the North have at length began to appreciate Radicalism, and are no longer te he hoodwink ed by its miserable partisan catch cries. It is worthy of special notice that there were no local issues in volved as heretofore—tho contest was made on purely national grounds, and in no previous can vass have questions of purely na tional concern been so boldly and sharply defined and discussed. In gcrsoll placed himself squarely on the platform of State Rights, and the consequent limited pow er of the General Government, and of course in opposition to Grant and the Rad ical programme, while his opponent indorsed Grant, third term and all The unstinted use of party appli ances, legitimate and corrupt, was of no avail, and the candidate and principles of the Administration met emphatic discomfiture and re buke. . ..„%Wt!li v S.rnmNVe's from a New England State !

LliTTlilt I JtOt! IIO.Y. A. 86. . UTEI’IICAS. [From the Savannah News.] Liberty Haii,, • j CIXAWFORDVIU.K. Ga., V March 31st, 1875. Editor News: My attention has been called, by the kindness of a friend, to an editorial iti your paper of the 22d inst., and a communication in the same issue, over the signature of ‘l’hilokris,” each containing strictures upon uiy course in Congress, which, 1 am informed, some of your readers think I ought not to permit to pass unnoticed. It is due to myself, as well as to the country, 1 am told, that I should authoritatively respond to those grave, public charges against my fidelity to the enusc of constitutional liberty. The copy of the paper referred to was received several days ago, but my time since then has been too much oe eupied with company and other busi ness of pressing importance, for me, at an earlier day than this, to give the subject that notice which its character, in the opinion of others, seems to de mand. You will, therefore, please allow n,e the privilege of now expressing th.ough your columns, as briefly aud pointedly as possible, and also in language irn tended to be entirely respectful, my un qualified protest against tho misstate ment iu matter, and what i can but look upon as tho disingenuousness in tone, which pervade both of these ar ticles. As fair specimens of the mat ter, as well as the tone, which charac terize both, from their beginning to their eud. the following extracts —one from oach —may be given. Iu the edi torial, for instance, you say : " “Jt has been with extreme reluct ance aud only from a profound sense of duty that we have expressed our dissent from the course of Hon. A. II Stephens in upholding the usurpations of President Grant, by which constitu tional gov ;o: .out has been virtually overthrow h in ifie State of Louisiana and a military despotism established in its stead. In the confident expecta tion that Mr. Stephens would in his place on the 1i -or of the House, at the proper lime, give the country his views of the policy of the Administration towards the people of Louisiana, and that lie would make known the reason whieh impelled him not only to justify the Kellogg usurpation, but al.-o to ap prove the subsequent military inter vention for its maintenance, we re frained even from an expression of our surprise at his course, so widely at variance with the known sentiments of his constituents and of the constitu tional Democracy of the Union. When, however, he nov only failed to ra.se his vo ; ee in denunciation of a deliberate and persistent system cf usurpation and outrage, such as has never before dis graced the annals of even the Radical party, but by his vote in tlie last hours of Congress conributed to defeat the parliamentary tactics of the Democrats, the object ol which was to prevent the endorsement o) the Kellogg usurpation by the Radical majority in that body, we were constrained, more in sorrow than in any spirit ot fault finding with our distinguished Representative, to express our dis-ent, from his course.” In the communication referred to, signed “Philokris,” (and which from its position and the leaded style m which it is put up, may bo considered assent forth with editorial sanction,) the writer, after stating what lie had said in a previous article about “ the distinguished author” of “the war be tween the States,” “ was in sorrow not in anger,” goes on with the following language: *• And some people entertained un b miide I confidence in bis resources, power and influence. They looked on him as ihe Moses who was to lead u through the wilderness of ditficulties in which we bad become involved safe to thj Canaan of restored po-ition and weight in the administration of the affairs of this eoun ry. 'l imy looked on him as the greatest living Apostle, the very Paul of State sovereignty And what was the sequel ? \\ hat has he dune ? IL.w has lied fended Stati rights? What has been his courser lie has defend 'd back-pay. supported Grant, voted with Radicals ag in-' Democrats! Oh! what a falling off! 11 iw have we found our idol, clay 1” First, then, as to the u.alter ot’ the above extracts, against which I enter my unqualified protest. When and where, in what w -r.l, or by what deed have I ever “uph- Id.” “defended,” or ■•suppotled” any act ni “usurpation” by General G i ant or any body else, cither in low or high .■ fli• ; 1 1 s’ . X jou 111 reetly and squarely upon the facts on which your aceusai ions are ha ed You say farther in your editorial that you expected me. in my pbo-e in the House, to make known the reasons which “im pelled” me “to justify the Kellogg us urpation.” When and where, I u.-k, did I ever by word or deed justify any usurpation of Kellogg? I aver that no “reasons" nor powers have ever yet ••impelled,’’or induced me to justify or sanction any usurpation whatever, and never will so long as I retain the facul ties of my mind. 'J his statement, that I have by some aet or word justified the Keihgg “usurpation,” you will please allow me umst respectfully to say, is as groundless in point of fact as it is injurious in force of terms My life has been devoted to the mainten ance of right against wrong—ti e rights of individuals as well as the rights of States against all abuses of power which tend to oppression and tyranny; and you are most respectfully asked to specify, if you can, a single word or aet in that life, private or public, at vari ance with this averment. You have the record off >rty years before you. If I have ever said or done anything in relation to any aet of General Grant, which is not maintainable upon the im mutable principles ot right, truth and justice, you will do me n favor by nam ing it. Again, you say in effect, (and must have meant to be understood as so say ing in terms, if you meant anything.) that my vote, “in the last hours of Cun gress,” to take up the report of the Committee on Louisiana Affairs, en abled the Radical majority of the House to endorse the Kellogg usurpa tion. Allow uie to say to you. as befote. that this statement, if you intended it. as I suppose you did, is utterly errone ous. My vote did not enable the Rad ical majority of the House to do any such tiling; nor did that majority do any sue!) thing. There was no endorse uient of the legality of Kellogg’s elec tion. nor ol a single aet of h.s adminis tration. Rut my vote did enable a ma jority of the House to put their ex piicit condemnation upon the huge iniquity of the Radical returning board in Louisiana, by which the Democracy of that State load been defrauded of the majority in the House of Representa tives of the Legislature, to which they were rightfully entitled. By my vote, which turned the scale, and decided the question of taking up that report, this condemnation was secured—a con demnation the more signal from the fact that it was unanimous—every Radi cal, as well as every Democrat, the in House voting for it! This grand re sult, which never would have been at tained without my vote, however you and others may look upon it, I regard as the greatest triumph in the vindica. tion of popular rights and State rights achieved on the floor of Cougress for the sixteen preceding years. It opened the way, too, fur another like vindica tion on the Arkansas question, which soon followed. But in voting, as I did, to take up the report of the committee, I was found voting with Radicals,aud “against the parliamentary tactics of the Demo crats,” whose object, you say, was “to prevent the endorsement of the Kellogg usurpation !” That is the “tactics” 1 did not yield to—it seems, were planned with a view to prevent what no one even proposed to do. Wise and saga cious ltade s of the “ Democracy of the Union,” think you, were those who planned such “ parliamentary tactics ?’ Heaven forbid that I shall ever be found following such leaders, when public liberty is at stake; and Heaven forbid that the cause of the true De mocracy of the United States shall ever be committed for guidance and control to the hands of the authors oi such “ tactics!” My great offence, then, consists in giving a vote by which no change was effected as to the status of Kellogg, but by which the crimes of tho returning boar 1 against the rights of the people and of the State of Loi isiana were unanimously condemned by the House of Representatives in Congress ; and by which, through the peaceful instru mentalities of the Constitution, that State has been relieved from the terri ble scourge of military interference, and the whole country relieved, tem porarily at least from the anguish of one of those virulent cankers upon (hr body politic growing out of the recon struction usurpations of Congress, against which i have ever warred and ever shall war. 1 his, forsooth, is my b'undcr, my crime, my worse than archangel fall ! [t is for this ‘• Philokris ” exclaims How have we found our idol, clay !’ In this consists my desertion from the principles taught in the “Constitu tional view of the war between the States?” Excuse me, Mr. Edior.f r s.ying t’rrt all who thu< really think, if any sue: theie lie, have my si. cere.-t pity atil pi"f'oin'b'St commiseration. !>,. 1 1 tlia’.n maiuriiT of my h-n sfituents, niia a majority. I trust, .if iHe Democracy of the Union, are not in that el.iss. Your assertion in this particular is I ween, ns grafuit li as in others. You aud -‘Philokris” would do well also to remember that it was not Moses who fell, but those who “departed” from the true fui'li. and erected in its stead a molten calf as their “idol,” before which they bowed down and worshipped. Hence, their troubles r.nd sufferings. So much as to the matter set forth in my double arraignment beforo your readers. Secondly, then, with your indul gence, I have a few words to add as to the tone of that arraignment. On this point you must allow me most respect tolly to say that as it seems to me both articles evince an objector purpose not unlike that of the wolf in the fable limit was bent upon a quarrel with his intended “ictim —fas nut lie fas. When the charge of muddying the waters in the stream above him by the one below was too flimsy a pretext to justify his ulterior designs, another one mere specious, but equally fallacious, was soon afterwards resorted to. Whether the result in this case, if it really be as it appeals to me, will be similar to that in the fable, time must disclose. But if this case is not as it seems to me. (which you know best,) if the rcul nl>. jeet and purpose of these imputations against my fidelity to true Democratic principles be not barely a prelude to a contemplated open war upon me and my known positiou in the coming great struggle between Constitutionalism and Centralism iu the United States why, let me ask you am I not only thus as sailed in your paper upon charges so groundless, but also made the special object of assault for my course upon the repeal of the Act of March, 1873, in crea-ing the pay ol members of Con gress ? Was uiy position ou that question different in any respect from that of both oi our distinguished Sena tors, Gordon and Norwood ? If 1 voted against the repeal of that Aet. did not they do tho same? Is it nut well known that General Gordon was in Washington 3d March, 1373, and urged his friends to vote for the in crease, though he had not yet taken his seat? Nay, more, did not Senator Norwood not only vote for the increase in March. 1873, but also receive and retain the “back pay?” If I defended those who, like Senator Norwood, voted for and received the “ back pay” against the charge of being “public robbers,” or being guilty of anything illegal or immoral to. doing, show- ing, as I did, that the ablest, truest and purest men of the country from the beginning of the government hud received the “back pay" ou the increase of salary, does that justly subject me to be singled out and denounced for my course on this subject ? Does this thus singling me out fur reprehension in this matter look much like being “con strained” in the expression of your dis sent from tny course “ more in sorrow than in any spirit of fault finding ?” To me it looks very much as if your purpose was the same as that of the rnlf. I speak in perfect candor and frankness. What view others may take of it 1 know not. I speak only of myself on this point. In regard to your “sorrow,” and that of your eorresp indent, all >w me to assure you and him that 1 feel duly thankful for your united sympathies, but think you and !'.e ha 1 better re serve them for m ie appr> pride be stowal. In the mar future if you. he, and a majority of (he Democracy of the Uni n. shall still adhere to the worship <f your “idol” erected in Baltimore in 1872, your present sorrows uray be greatly increased, hut even then, if in life, 1 shail say, as now, to you, and all who denounce me lor what I have done in Congress, and shed tears of “sorrow ’ over it, “ Weep not for me, but weep lor yourselves” and for your country — brought to ruin by the friends of the Constitution being guilefully induced to follow those whose “tactics” lead in evitably to defeat, disaster and destruc tion.
