To the Editor of the Columbia Phoenix: -
The people of South Carolina were persua
ded, six cr seven years ago, that their only
hope of maintaining African slavery was in
the destruction of the American Union and
the formation of a Southern Confederacy. I
did not think so, and raised my warning voice
suffrage, by their intelligence and property, I
am willing to concede the right to them. But
I am not willing, in their present debased and
degraded condition, to throw the political
power of the State'into their hands. I know
the result.will be disastrous, both to them and
the white race. It will end in a bloody con
test of extermination to one race or the other.
In very few of the Northern States are the
against this fatal delusion. I said to them negroes’allowad to vote, where they have only
that slavery was safer in the Union than it a few, and they far superior to those in the
could be in a separate Confederacy. I told j Southern States. It is raonrtious that the
them that the extinction of the
Union would
be the death-knell of slavery. They spurned
my counsel and madly rushed into a bloody-
civil war, which ended in the abolition of
slavery. Now they are being persuaded again
that the onlv wav to save their lands from

The South is sometimes denounced as lawless,

the not hold him up as a model jurist. He was a

surrender the political power of the State into
the hands of the negroes! The inevitable
result of this delusion and criminal folly will
be the establishment of the most atrocious
government and horrible state of society that
a civilized people were ever subjected to.
Already the negro watch-cry in Virginia
and elsewhere i« “land for the landless !’ : —
“homes for the homeless !”—“political equal-
ity tq ail men, regardless of caste or color!”
What avail will 40,000 white votes have in
South Carolina, with tl is watch-cry ringing at
the polls? It is against nature to suppose
that an ignorant and debased majority will
not pursue their own interest, regardless of
right, and cafry out their wicked purposes,
whatever they may be. It is possible to re
strain them at first, before they acquire concert
of action. Hence the importance of defeating
the call of a convention at the first election
before this majority is organized and embold
ened by agitation and evil counsels. It can
not be controlled afterwards, but will make
South Carolina a j and social pande
monium. Is there an ins; mce iu the world’s
history of a class of men, invested with polit-
cal power, who did not unite to promote their
own interests?
Just as sure as general suffrage is given to
the negro in South Carolina, he will feel his
numerical strength, and sooner or later, under
the vile lead of Black Republican emissaries,
seize the political power of the State and ex
ercise it to oppress and plunder the white race.
There are thousands of unprincipled white
men amongst us who will unite their destiny
with the negro for the sake of spoils anu plun
der. They will easily be persuaded, and per
suade themselves, that the lands of t'ne State
should be divided out equally among all her
citizens. Every one should have a home—the
poor treedman as well a$ his former rich mas
ter. Having the power in their hands, with
this belief, it is folly and stupidity to suppose
they will not execute it. They must serve on
juries and hold office, ride with you and your
wives and daughters in the cars, eat with you
at the hotel, ami sit with you iu the church.
All this, and ten times more, you must endure
from your black politic 3 ! masters. And <’ah
ft b^e that the pride of Carolina has sunk so
low and been => degraded as to vote for this
voluntarily, for the purpose of getting back
into that Union .which her citizens professed
to hate and despise so cordially a few years
since? Are they willing tc go thg polls and
cast theii: vote for a convention, with this des
tiny staring tjiem in the face, in order to save
tjieir lands from confiscation ? No. They
\\ ill be voting the ultimate confiscation of their
lands and their political rights as surety as
they are voting away their honor as men and
Carolinians.
There ape in the State only ten districts out
of the thirty in which the white voters are in
the majority, and they are the smallest—con
sequently two-ttiirds and more of the conven
tion may be negroes or Black Republicans.—
The Legislature will be similarly composed.—
Do the people of South Carolina really think
of these consequences, or are they prepared
to accept them ? Better a thousand times let
Congress confiscate your lands than entail such
a government and such degradation and mise
ry on yourself and posterity. Do your duty,
and leave the consequences to God. Act like
[ men and Carolinians. ^Declare, by voting

A Mischief-Maker and a Yile Tfaclncer-
The Macon Telegraph of the 12tli says: There
is a man in this city by the name of Eberhardt,
purporting to be a Superintendent of Colored
Schools under the auspices of the Freedman’s
Bureau. He claims our hospitality, and, we
believe, gentlemen sometimes take him by the
hand. He also professes, we believe, to be a
minister of Christ, though it seems lie does not
consider it at all inconsistent with the charac
ter to bear false witness against his neighbor,
and to fabricate the most wicked and infamous just as soon and as often as he was williu
falsehoods. By way of illustrating*liis true
character wc will let him speak for himself.—
From a letter addressed by him to the Pitts
burg (Pa.) Chronicle, and dated “Macon, April
20th,” we quote. Speaking of the South as a
sick patient, he says:
“The patient has ceased his ravings against
the negro : although his mind is still subject
to much excitement when he hears the terrible
word Radical. When that terrible word is
uttered in his hearing, he has much to say
about “despotism,” “tyranny,” “Jacobins,”
“Puritans,” and the like; and, while thus
wild and raving, has much to say about “dig
nity” and “manhood,” “ honor,” etc., for
getting for the nonce all those lovely attributes
left bug when he was first taken with his
malady—rebelfioii.
lie has, however, almost entirely ceased
openly to abuse those who, in years gone by,
served him so faithfully as slaves. He knows
very well that he did abuse them in a very un
christian and barbarous manner while they
were slaves ; and that, after they were freed,
he did, in Georgia alone, in a year and a half,
connive at the murder of five hundred of them :
you are, under the military rule of your con- j believe that there is really no disgrace attached

justice. 1 feel assured that nothing but
mistaken appeal to base fear, and that bastard
ly virtue, called prudence, could have wrought

making three gallons handsome soft soap from
one pound of this Soan. Each bar is wrapped in
speeches to negroes. He has suddenly come
to the conclusion, and publicly declares it
through the press, that the negro should be
ring
was an irregular, aud therefore, took no dip
Ionia, llis education was limited, and on that
account, it cannot be said of him that “all
knowledge was his province.” Yfittiout ac
quaintance with the dead languages, he was
not in his writings or speeches, a classic. His
English education, however, was good ; and manteau.
he was a man of reading and general informa
tion.
Judge Dougherty was admitted to vi.o Bar
early after his majority and settled in Athens.
He married Miss Elizabeth Moore, a charming
lady of that town, who presided over his house
hold with grace and dignity until the day of
his death.
Removing to Vatkinsville, he resided there
the greater part of his professional life. In the
outset, he acquired business slowly yet surely.
Gradually his reputation pervaded the circuit
and his popularity and his income in
creased until he was called to the Bench. He
presided over the Western Circuit for several
terms. The people of Clarke knew him from
his boyhood and loved and honored him to the
end. They elected him to the legislature
_ to
serve them. He verified the saying “a proph
et is not without honor save in his own coun
try.” Being an exception, he proved the rule.
In that county he was indeed a prophet, and
for many years, aided in guiding its citizens,
by the wisdom of His counsels and the purity
of his life.
During one of the most brilliant periods of
British history, that is, during the reigns of
Elizabeth, James and the first Charles, the ad
ministration of justice was most corrupt. An
honest, independent Chancellor, or Judge of
the Common 1’leas, or King’s Bench, was a
rare spectacle. They were either venal or the
tools of the court. The counsel for the Crown
were the unprincipled agents of oppression.—
This was undoubtedly owing, in pa-t, to the
fact that these offices were held at the will of
the Crown, and the Crown could and did fre
quently, control the administration of the law.
Nothing was more common than for the King
to issue his prohibitory mandates, both to his
Chancellors and to the twelve Judges. Then,
the Chancellorship was in truth, as now, nomi
nally, a political office ; owing however, no less
to the luwqpopular estimate of judicial functions.
The people were accustomed to see the realm
go.Vcrp.ed mo^e by court favorites and caprici
ous kings than by laws. So It was. Now mark
a contrast. The now humiliated Key Stone of
the Southern Arch has never had a corrupt
Judge,
Dougherty was or.eofhei judges. His char
acter shone with a steady light. It gave but
no darting flashes, but emitted that uniform
quality is the balance wheel of the mind, with
out which its machinery, however polished
and strong its parts, work’s badly. He was pa
tient, courteous, and invited and appreciated
argument. His “summing up” was plain and
discriminating—so clear that juries were never
without rules to guide their deliberations. He
was no doubting Judge, as it is said Lord Eiilou
was, leaving questions open, and thus protrac-
t ng litigation ; but came to a decision prompt
ly and announced it emphatically. His mind
vv.is churaeterAed, ut the same time, by cau
tion, rather than quickness. He Was tolerant
of tile mistakes ot inexperienced counsel, re
lieving embarrassment by kindly suggestions.
He brought also to the aid of his administra
tion ot tiie law, habits of the most exemplary
morality.
The practice of the Law has severe trials for
young men : such as eager aspirations and
hope deferred : apprehensiveness of mistakes
in business ; dread of professional criticism ;
hard work ; a sense uf responsibility, and very
often an empty purse. But there are some
things compensatory , such as the dashing ri les
to the Courts aud the incidents by the wayside,
the genial eprit th. corps of the fraternity ; the
intellectual struggles of the court room ; the
frolic and fun of the nights at the hotel ; the
return, and wife’s sweet welcome home. Such
tilings were in the oiden time. Progress—to
ed ice!—has brought changes. When Dough
erty Came to the bar, lawyers rode the cir
cuit on horseback, with saddle-bags and port-
Then came the reign of sulkies.—
These soon gave place to buggies, and now
railroads ami hired hacks have pretty much
superseded everything else. No wonder that
lawyers are a merry set. Not one of his con
temporaries profited more by the compensatory
things of his practice than Judge D. His per
son was tall and large, but not encumbered
with flesh, combining strength with activity.—
His face was benignant, his manners affable
and cordial, out not demonstrative, and mark
ed at times with a quiet dignity, a self-respect
ing repose. He was an exceedingly temperate
man, temperate in his appetites and temperate
in his mental exercises, ho well balanced were
all his faculties that each was, not the tyrant,
but the aid of all the rest. Few meu had the
elements of intellectual and moral manhood so
happily proportioned. His personal qualities
made him troops of friends, and-^iis ability as
a lawyer constrained the respect of the ablest
members of the profession—such men as Upson,
Tlios. W. Cobb,-Payne, Underwood, and D. C.
Campbell, all of whom were leading practition
ers at the Clarke county bar when he was ad
mitted.
Cicero Holt, the brother in-law of Judge
D., entered upon the practice in Clarke county
contemporaneously with him. llis career
promised to be illustrious. His wing was strong
enough to have borne him into the empyrean,
but just as be began to soar lie was struck and
fell into the grave. At a later day, at that bar
we find Howell Cobb, Mitchell, Iliilyer and the
late gallant and peculiarly endowed T. R. R.
Cobb. To the memory of this latter gentleman
it will be a melancholy pleasure hereafter to
devote one of these passing testimonials.
Judge Dougherty was careful in the prepar
ation of his cases, sparing neitl»*r time nor la
bor. He reiied upon an open issue upon merits
and not upon management. He had neither
the disposition nor tiie talent l’or, to use the
language of a popular lawyer of his day, “win
ning a ease. ’ llis speaking was not disting
uished for fluency or impassioned appeals, or
sarcasm or v> it, but for manly reasoning and
perspicuous handling of facts. His imposing
figure,.benignant face, candor, real power of
argumentation made him a dangerous antago
nist bclore a jury, aqd not less formidable be
fore the Court.
tSuch is a taint picture in outline of a peer of
our professional realm—a nohletiian by nature,
as well by patent from the judgment of his
contemporarscs. He died in the prime of the
allotted three score years and ten, before time
Court for the State of Georgia.
