QVZTVaJUN:
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9,1872.
Declined. —We have received a letter
from a gentleman signing himself "Jus
tfco,” who declares if we will pnldiah the
same, a “hie smg will thereby he confer
red on hamai.lty.” Wo “cannot see it”
in that light, and most decline, for the
reason that “Justice" failed to lurntch
his real name.
Tlie Coniiirmuise of I’t inciph n
A compromise is not only a conces
sion of weakness in the party proponing
it, lint frequently necessitates the sur
render of vital principles. Indeed, a
political c< mpromise, in party parlance,
is almost invariably the work of a co
alition of hungry political tricksters lor
the overthrow of the party in power, and
the gratification of personal and selfish
desires. A political compromise, there
fore, is always wtong, and consequently
suicidal. Men should never surrender
principles, that arc founded in truth and I
justice, on the niter of expediency. I
Stability and determination should he i
the characteristics of men, who claim
for their avowed professions the great
attribute of truth. Unless their princi
ples are hedged about and guarded with j
these two essential requhitrs, they cer
tainly have no right to e.rpc(i for them j
StrOCeKB.
These remarks are influenced by the
attitude assumed at present ly the
Democialic party of America. For the j
purpose, ns is alleged, es defeating the j
re-eli cl ion of General Giant, they pro
pose a fusion, < r (•< rrq routine, willi the j
disaffected in the ranks of Radicalism. I
In other words, the proposition is, that |
the nnti-Grant, or Reform Republican!! j
es the Country, shall make a nomination
for President, and that the Democrats
co-operate for the success of said ticket.
It is designated the “’Possum policy "-
for the reason that, the Democrats will
ho expected to take no part in the con
test other than vote, and “play dead.”
It is contended that snob a party will;
cleans and purify the political alums- ;
pliero, and restore the government to i!«
pristine purity. V' T o are too du'lofj
comprehension to view this proposed
policy in any such favorable light-
First, because the originators represent j
a strange medley of demagegneism and ]
inconsistency. Liberal Republicans, so
called conservative Democrats, disgrun
tled Radicals, discharged oflice-holdeiH.
and those who failed to get appointments
under the present administration, con
stitute the acknowledged leaders of the
Reform movement. What can he ex- j
peeled from such a wonderful fusion of
disaffected spirits and political adven-J
torerh? We cannot admire the crowd— i
especially as it is headed by that Prince
of scoundrels, Charles Sumner. Second ,
hi online the “’Possum policy” will hen
simender of principles, mid dishonora
ble to the maubood of the Demecracy
'Third, because the Democracy of this
country can, if wisdom and moderation
characterize its councils, sweep from
power and place the Robespierre party
that has throttled liberty, and diujjmoed
the nation.
Asa Democrat, we protest against a
surrender of principles on the score of
policy. We contend that the great
heart of this nation is in hostility to the
policy and principles of the party ii pow
er; and all that in necessary for its de
feat in the approaching presidential
election, is a hold enunciation of princi
pies, and persistent advocacy of the
same on the part of the Democracy.
What can the constitutional Democra
cy of this country gain, by aiding in the
elevation to the Chief Magistracy, a man
of the political faith of Charles Sumner
—one who has, perhaps for a quarter of
a century, stamped under his unhallow
ed feet, the charter of American liberty?
Os what advantage to the Democracy—
of what benefit to the country—to dis
place Grant by an equally degraded,
unprincipled Radical? The proposition
is absurd, and none but milk ami-water
Democrats will give countenance there
to. If this country is to be redeemed
from the power of despotism—if the
Constitution is to be restored and re
spooled as the safety anchor ol our lib
erties the great work must he accom
plished by the Dcmoeiatic par'v; and it
can in ver consent to “play dead,” and
aid in the elevation of a Radical to pow-;
er. When it does.it must surrender
principles to expediency, and thereby!
forfeit the respect and confidence ol all
Ironist men. The adoption es the pro
pes -d programme of the Reform party,
will provo the death knell of the Democ
racy.
A sleeping car conductor on the Mem
phis and Charleston Railroad, named
Trice, who circulated the scandalous
story efan alleged I asm ol •!< fl Davis,
knocked down Gen. R. G. Mowi v with
an iron poker, near Huntsville, the oth
er day, seriously injuring the General.
The d.flkulty grew out of the Jeff Davis
story.
TVmperonce in Valdosta.
Tlie f .Rowing letter, wl ieh we find in
the Savannah Nairn, speaks for itself.
We are snrpi ised that, any journal should
make so seriously false a ch irge as the
one alluded to:
Valdosta G a, January 31st, 1872.
Editor Morning New*:
In your paper of a recent dale appears
a paiagraph based oh an article from a
seurrillous little sheet published at thin
place, noticing the results of a supper
given by the \%ldo6ta Division of the
Sons of Temperance, v.liich I, as presid
ing i slicer, and for and in behalf of the
members of the older, di sire to correct.
Every assertion of the party is a de«
!.berate lie and wilful slander upon the
order and the parties named, and has 8"
been denounced hero publicly. Every
number stands ready to prove the above
chat go. So far from there being any
intoxicating liquors, wine or cider drank
on that cens’on by any member of the
Division prrsont, there was not even the
smell of the same upon llmir garments.
I’lcase publish the above, and request
ail papers wlii.-.h have noticed the article
to do the same for and in behalf of the
cause. W. A Pardkk. W P ,

These are nil very important and inter

From the Biographical Register, we
take pleasure in republishing the fol
lowing brief sketch of our esteemed Rep
rcsciitalivo :
Ih.v. James IT. Hunter. — Born in
Jackson county, Georgia, mi the 21st of
December, 1831, Mr. Hunter ireeived an
academic education, sub-oqiieuliy stud
ied the law, and in 1553, was admitted
to the Bar. Engaging in the predict
of tiis profession, IBs abilities soon
brought him prominently before the
public, and ho succeeded in obtaining a
large and profitable legal business.
Mr. Hunter also took an active inti rest
in politics, as a Democrat of the State
Rights School, hut m, ver he'd t slice be
fore the war. lie entered the Con fed
crate Army in 1801, ns Captain of Coin
puny 0, Twenty-sixth Georgia Volun
teers, and served with gallantry in Vir- j
ginia until the latter part of 1864, re- j
eciving Hvo severe, aid several slight |
wounds, in the nntin rmia engagements
in which he participat'd. Having been
elected a member ol the Beeudature
from Brooks county during 1804, I up t
lain Hunter resigned Ids commission, j
and, returning to Georgi i, tin k part in
several extra sessions oiled by G v
ernor Joseph E. Brown, performing his j
legislative duties witli credit to himself, j
On tiu downfall of the Ceid'i dumey, be- i
jng intensely Southern in B-aitiineiit, lie i
determined to leave the eountiy, and I
had actually made preparations for Bin •
departure, when, o:i the solicitation •>! j
frit uds, l e abandoned the idea, liej
l then resumed the practice of his profi s
sion with success, to which he has al
ways added Die occupation of a farmer.
| Engaging in politics as a Democrat, lie
was, in 1808, n minuted by the Deni'c
racy of his county f r the Legislature,
but was defeated. lit 1870, he was
again the nominee of his parly, and iva
elected by one hundred ami fifty major
ity—completely overturning the adver-e
maj u ity of three hundred, of iwo years
previous. In 1856, captain Hinder was
married to M.ss ilm hey, < i fb'hmke
county. lie is a member of the Mason
ic fraternity and a Bay Driest of his
| Chapter. Since taking his matin the
ffotiao, Ito has proven an able, dR. cut
| member, net speaking often, it is true,
lint devot'lig his entire lime and atten
j tion to all measures calculated to hen
| ofil his people.
The Confederate Archives.
Wtn. B Stone recently delivered an
orati.m in New York. In the course
of his remarks he gave the following
j bit of information concerning the dispo
| nit ion which was made ot the rebel nr
■ chives at the collapse of tl o rebellion:
"On the morning of jMr. Davis’ cop
tine,” says Mr. Slone, “Dav-d Tilgnian
waited upon him at his bedside and said,
| By this you may see that the enemy is
j here; such and such is the disposition ol
! ihe roads. If you come with me you
will he aide to leave the country in snf. -
j iy. If you do not, you will be captured
!in five hours.’ To this Mr. Davis replied,
1 cmtly, lie ‘knew his own busim ss Best.’
Tilgnian continued: ‘Very well, sir; 1
j have bicn entrusted with the treasure
and archives, and propose to secure
them, even at the peril of the losj of
your favor and my life. I shall start
at once by the way 1 have marked out.’
The result is well known. In less than
five hours Mr. Davis was a prisoner,
but the archives were sale. V hen a few
weeks alter, in the recesses of the forest,
Tilgnian learned that all was lost, tie
alone, with his own hands, buried the
tieasure aud archives, and unless.dura g
the four years that elapsi and between his
parting with me and bis untoward death,
lie revealed the spot, the si crot as to the
whereabouts of the archives is forever
buried. As lung as they can be kept
from the ken of man, so long shall the
story be a monument to our brother’s
unswerving fidelity. Tin's is the true
history of the archives of the Southern
Confederacy, although rumors aro from
time to lira- set ati at ot their being
now in the vaults of this bank, and now
of that.”

Preparing for War.
The Savanna! Hejmhlican says that
the hum in our navy yards aud the
movement of army officers would so-in
to ind cate Hat Grant is really fixing np
for -a fight with somebody, probably
Spain, the possession of Cuba Icing the
objective point, A huge number of two
hundred pound Parrot guns have just
been sent to Key West and other South
ern ports, and oDicrs—iri fact nil that
arc obtainable—are ordered to tl c sarn"
destinations. AH the forts on our South
ern seaboards are being inspected and
[int in order. Fort Sumter, Moultrie,
Pickens, Pulaski and Barrancas arc be
ing strength! ued and armed, and Pensa
cola is being thoroughly fortified, so as
to serve as a rendezvous for both sea
and land foices. Every available vessel
of the navy is being pul in fighting trim.
The public will look with interest to the
event that will demonstrate what all this
preparation means. The Southern peo
ple are for peace with ev< rybody, at
least for the present, and the cause must
be a very strong otic to enlist their in
terest.
A Traveler’s Opinion es Quitman,
Dr. Babcock, the traveling cor ter jinn
dent of the Savannah TtepidAican, writ
ing fruin Quitman, under date of Feb.
Ist, has the following:
Qnilman, the county site of Brooks, is
one of tlie prettiest towns ir. S mthwest
ern Georgia. Tito Court House, occu
pying’:! central position, looms up con
spicuously, and is one of tlie finest and
most commodious buildings of the kind;
to bo found in this portion of the State.
It was completed during the war, and
paid for with Confederate money. A j
handsome fence encloses the structure,
and protects the many thrifty young
trees, whore v'goriais growth promises;
soon to impart additional beauty to tin- 1
square. 'The str- eta tire of unusual j
width, and would effectually preserve;
the huildings on the opposite side, in the
event of a fire. Quite a number of in at
residences ornament various portions ol
the town, while the spires of three church
es prove that Die citizens are not un
mindful of their religions duties. The j
good people of Quitman h and an op pur- |
tunity, h r the first time, hist week of
hearing the services, in their midst, ol j
the ! pisenpal Church, and of listening to
a m-miuii from the eloquent Bishop Beck
with, of this Diocese.
Quit man, during the late war, was fm
three years almost the only outlet for
the people of E int ami Middle Florida,
as well ss for tlie troops employed in
tin- different military operations, and ill
this manner wits widely known, and a
place of considerable importance. The
road lending to Madison, in Florida, be
came a great throng fare, and the fine
of singes was totally inadequate to ac
commodate the pressing throngs of trav
elers. Many of ynur readers doubtless
retain a vivid recollection ot the trials
and severe joltings of the old stage lOUte
between Quitman and Madison.
Walking through the ca inelcry I oh- j
served the graves ol fourteen or fifteen ;
confederate s ddiura neatly hilled up and. j
showing evidences of recent attention, :
surmounted 1v a cross hearing the in
scription, “Our Fallen Heroes ” The
wreath of evergreen resting upon each
lowlv mound sp ko ol woman's care and
sympathy.
The depot is inconveniently distant
from the centre of business. Near this
point is a large and handsome brick
structure, ol imposing appearance, sur
rounded ly a dozen or more neat cot
tages, and designed for the manufacture
of cotton and woolen fabrics. The nia
etiiiiory, oktaiiu! 1 Bom the Bailey factory
at Motitici 110, Florida, is now being put
iin complete repair, and the busy t urn
! and whir! of the spindles w ill, ere long,
mingle with the shrill whistle es the pas
sing I >ctunotivc.
The people < f Quitman are retnnrka
! hie for their quiet and orderly’ demeanor,
l i'his desirable condition ot affairs, is.
j doubt'ess, greatly due to the weight
and efforts ol the Temper nice Societies,
w hose influence is powerful, and whose
numbers are rapidly increasing.
Dick Yates.
Dick Yates, once Governor of Illinois
and Senator in Congress, is a living il
lustration of the evil effects of Radical
ism and whiskey. A cotemporary says
j Dio other day he visited a, banking house
j in Springfield, Illinois, and demanded
SSO. It was refused him, whereupon he
visited a saloon and asked for a drink of
j whit-key. The bar-tender told him he
! had none, whereupon be grew so violent
; tiiat he was put out by force. Porsi ken,
friendless and an outcast, he is now a
perfect wreck, and even his friends h.ivi
| come to the conclusion that the only ser
vice he can render is to die. Dick
Yates was a man of talents,but unfortu
nately be embraced Radicalism, and as
a natural consequence he took to low as
I sociatcs and whiskey, which combined i
brought him to his present deplorable
condition. llis fate should be a warn
ing to the youth ol the country.
Stokes in Prison.
Griminals laic sumptuously in North
ern prisons. It is said that Stokes, the
! murderer of Fisk, rests his coiled head
on lace bordered pillows. The odor of
his cell permeates Die entire building,
lie orders perfumes by tlie h-'X, and ev
cry time the soup and hash for the com
mon criminals is toted past his door he
hr alts a bottle of musk. In a crimson-
Inccj dressing gown, embroidered slip
pers and silk sacks, lie smokes the time
iw.iv, altogether the gayest hit of a
criminal that ever lodged in Murderer’s
| row.
Tlic Democrats in (.'ongress.
Tli«* Cinein.iti Enquirer Hays: "We
arc pleated with tl.e manner in which
Mr. Vooihees, of Indiana, and Mr. Beck,
of Kentucky, improved the opportunity
of the Lou'sana rascality to lash the ma
jority in .Congress for their pretended
Southern reconstruction legislation, of
which this trouble in Louisiana is simp
ly the fruit. It is the evidence of life
that the Democratic Representatives
have exhibited this session. It is grati
fying to know that some of them, in
their assaults upon the Administiaion,
arc willing to throw off their soft velvet
gloves and to strike home with hands
encased in iron. What ti e Democrats
in Congress want is bolderga and vigor.
They have played the moderate and qui
oboi nt role long enough.”
The State K< Frauds.
The Atlanta Cons'itvlion says that
the Legislative Committee appointed to
inquire into Blodgi tl’s management of I
the State Road, are anearlhing such a
mass of corruption as the world rarely
sees.
It says it is not proper, of course, to
record their labors save as they are prac
tically announced in arrests, and suits,
but we can assure oar readers that the
filthy facts are coining to light. It is j
absolutely sickening. Steal, cheat,-
forge, swindle, rob, falsify, have been
the programme. Every species of expo-.
client has been resorted to for plundering
the road. Outsiders and insiders have I
colluded, Road agents, merchants,
Judges and every body else appear ci im
inated.
Relentlessly is the committee tracking i
out the frauds. Arrests and suits a
gainst parties little dreamed of arc rip
ening.

but nevertheless, according t<> the Con
