EX PI, A N A TO IIY.
We publish, to-day, Mr. HU-phens' let
ter vindicating himself against the many
attacks made npou bim by the Southern
Press, on the Louisiana question. The i
letter is published in the Savannah Sew*, |
not, as we conceive, so much as a reply |
to the Ktiictnrea of that paper upon his !
votes, but l>eeause the Aetna ia among '
the ablest journals of the South, with a
very wide circulation, and hi* litter pub
lished in it is an answer to all the oth
er*. For this reason we do not think it j
discourteous to omit to publish the com- !
incuts of the Arte*.
HOSt. JOHN 11. JAMES.
The last unmber of The Sunny South i
contained the portrait and biography of j
Hon. Jolm H. James, of Atlanta, and we |
notice that several of the leading papers i
in the Htate have copied the biographical
sketch into their columns.
It is not so very often that journalists
devote so much space to trumpeting the
praises of a man of merely local reputa
tion, without some special object of a
personal nature, or os an equivalent for a
certain amount of cash, the source of
b >th inducements being easily traceable
to the ambition or the pocket of the man
most interested.
Hut, whatever m.\y have inspired the
journalistic eccentricity above mention
ed, it is painfully suggestive of a pro
emiid longing for Gov. Smith’* official
slippew, and stumps Mr. James aa de
cidedly the most previoue candidate of
the season.
THE I.IJHATR AftY 1,1/M.
Investigations into the condition and
workings of the Georgia Lunatic Asylum
show that that institution iH being admir
ably managed under the superintendence
Os Hr. Green aud bis faithful and etlloi.
cent assistants. The capacity of the In
stitution, however, is insufficient to an
swer the necessities of the State, many
applicants having tobe refused udmissiou
for lnokof accommodations. This matter
should receive the attention of the Legis
lature at the earliest prutictiblc day.
Kiom Dr. Green's report it appears
that there are now in the Asylum 590
persons, of whom 309 are white males ;
2UB white females ; IH colored males,
and 55 colored females. Os these 427
are lunatics, 93 are idiots, and 76 are
epileptics. During the year 1874, 185
patients were received, of whom 71 were
males and (54 females. Daring the same
period 43 died, 11 eloped, 30 wore dis
charged, and 26 removed by advice.
HARD.
Only a few days ago the announce
ment, apparently well fonded, was made
to (ho effect that ex-Idaho Until would,
f* an early day, start, n Radial paper in
Georg to, espousing the cause of Grant,
and advocating a third term. His anxiety
for the President’s re-election was easily
traceable to a desire to retain the Post
Office in Atlanta ; but now the inerpicu
ble statement comes by telegraph that.
Psamuel has been iieremptorily ordered
to “step down and nut," and Benjamin
Conley appointed in his place.
What, the meaning of this political
move may be is a mystery. If the Ad
ministration really desired his services
in the editorial elmir instead of the Post
Office, the Governor would certainly
have been permitted to resign. From
all accounts he Ims discharged the duties
at his office efficiently and acceptably,
his abrupt decapitation must l>o rather
sickening to his political stomach. He
can, however, soak his wrath in the con
soling reflection that. Radicals, like Re
publics, are proverbial for ingratitude.

FATAL ACCIDENT.
The Augusta papers of Sunday last
contained the details of a sad accident,
which occurred at Burch's mill pond,
at suit four miles from the city. We
condense aa follows:
On Saturday a fishing party consist
ing of F. A. Maxwell, a young man of
Augusta, and Misses Maxwell, Sledge,
Dunwoody and Lawson—five in all—was
arranged, aud the party went out to
Burch's mill. After fishing awhile Mr.
Maxwell ami Miss Dunwoody got into a
land, and went out, in the pond. When
some distance from the shore Miss Dun
woody, while looking over the side of the
boat, lost her halauoe and fell into the
water, and the boat was upset. Mr.
Maxwell, who was a splendid swimmer,
attempted to rescue her, but her fright
oaused her to obstruct the motions of his
limbs, aud they both sank to rise no more.
Miss Corir.ne Dumvoody was a beauti
ftil young girl, only sixteen years old,
the daughter of Mrs. M. E. Dunwoody,
Mr. Maxwell was the an of the late J.
A. Maxwell of Richmond oouuty, aud
was twenty-two years old.
SLEEPING CARS.
Mr. Pullman is the President of the
company of capitalists who are running
the Pullman Sleeping cars ou all the
principal railroads in the United States.
He i < a Radical of the strictest faith and
practice, and, in accordance with liis
social aud political principles, has issued
orders tuMl tickets of admission to these
cam shall Ire Bold to all ngardlew of
oolor. Asa consequence of such arrange
ment several instances are reported in
winch white ladies, who had purchased
Bleeping ear tickets, have beeu assigned
berths m the same division with negro
men, while such scamps os Piueli back,
with gangs of greasy, black attendants,
frequently monopolize these coaches to j
' the exclusion of all respectable, decent
j people.
{ The South, since the introduction
,of these sleeping cars, lias given
i them a liberal patronage ; but the time
j*hasarrivedwben our self-respect demauds
| that Pullman A Cos., with their Civil
, Rights, and social equality, shall learn
; that however congenial such ider.B may
1 ne to Northern minds, they will never be
tolerated in tile South ; aud we should
teach them the lesson by applying the
remedy to their pockets—the most vul
nerable part of a Radical's anatomy.
We are not compelled to use their cars.
A few years ago no one thought of such a
thing. The Southern people should
unanimously resolve to “severely let
them alone.’’ This would remedy the
evil most effectually. Let the Press l»e
as an unit in denouncing Pullman and
his gang, until no respectable man or
woman will be caught in one of their
cars. Then and then only will the evil
cease. We have the remedy, and if we
apply it vigoroualy, Pullman A Cos., in
less than twelve months, will be either
bankrupt or the moat blatant aud noisy
shriekers for the repeal of the Civil
Rights law.
CIVIL RIGHT*.
That delectable piece of Radical rascal
ity, known os the Civil Rights bill, is so
nearly defunct in the abstract that further
editorial reference to the subject is of
questionable propriety. The Courts
have, so far, declared most of the law
unconstitutional and the remainder a
meaningless lmlity, while the negroes
themselves, with a few exceptions, have
treated its wonderful provisions with
contemptuous indifference. The prose
cutions commenced to enforce its observ
ance have been dismissed or abandoned,
and its advocates, North aud South, are
forced to admit the utter futility of their
efforts to reverse oue of the fundament
al laws of God by all act of Congress,
liven Butler himself, the champion pole
cut of this Radical uasti.xess, in answer
to a correspondent, after stating that the
law does not apply to drinking-saloons
aud barber shops, emasculates the politi
cal abortion by the following admissions:
“The Civil Rights bill has not altered
the colored man’s rights at all from what
they were before under the common law
applicable to nearly every State in the
Union. It has only given him a greater
power to enforce that right, to meet the
exigency of combined effort to deprive
colored citizens of it, aud all idea that
the Civil Rights hill ullows the colored
man to force himself into any man’s shop,
or into any man's private house, or into
any eating house, boarding house, or
establishment other than those I have
named, is simply an exhibition of ignor
ance, as well ns, in some cases, of insuf
ferable prejudice and malignity. And
while I would sustain uny colored man iu
firmly and properly insisting upon _ his
rights under the Civil Rights bill which
were his at common law, as they were
the right of every citizen, yi t I should
oppose to the utmost of my power any
attempt on the part of the colored men
to use the Civil Rights bill as a prontence
to interfere with the private business of
private parties.'’

LETTER FROM HON. A. H. STE
PHEN*.
Since the vote on the Louisiana ques
tion in Congress, we bave often felt in
dignant at the misconstruction, injustice,
and even personal abuse which bave
beeu cast upon Mr. Stephens by certain
Journalists for his action iu that matter;
but we knew that he wax amply able to
vindicate himself, and would do so when
he thought proper. This be lias done in
the following letter to the Savannah
A r ew*. We hope all who bave oeusured
Mr. Stephens will read it carefnlly :
Libebtt Ham., j
(iuAwroaoviM.E, G*o. '
March 31, 1875. )
Editor Morning Seu*:
.My attention has been called, by the
kindness of a friei.d, to an editorial in
your paper of the 22d mst., aud a com
munication in the same issue, over the
signature of “Fuiiokris,” each contain
ing strictures upon my course iu Con
gress, 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 countiy, I am told, that
I should authoritatively respond to these
grave, public charges against my fidelity
to the cause of coustitutioual liberty.
The copy of the paper referred to was
received several day* ago, but my time
siuce then has beeu too much occupied
with company and other business of
pressing importance, for me, at au earli
er day Uiu.u this, to give tin- subject that
notice which its character, in theopiuion
of others, seems to demand.
'You will, then fore, please allow me
the privilege of now expressing throngh
your columns, aa briefly aud pointedly as
possible, and also in language intended
to be entirely respectful, my unqualified
protest against the misstatement in mat
ter, and what 1 can but look iqioii as the
diseugeuuousness in tone, which iiervade
both of these arUcles. As fair speci
mens of the matter, as well as the tone,
which characterize both, from tbeir be
ginning to their end, the following ex
tracts—one from each —may be given.
In the editorial, for instance, you say:
“It has been with extreme reluctance
and only from a profound sense ol duty
that we have expressed our dissent from
the course of Hon. A. 11. Stephens in
upholding the usurpations of Fresident
Grant, by which constitutional govern
ment has been virtually overthrown in
the Btate of Louisiana and a military
despotuun established in its stead. - In
the confident expectation that Mr. Ste
phens would in his place ou the floor of
the House, at the proper time, give the
country his views of the policy of the
Administration towards the people of
Louisiana, ami that he would make
known the reasons which impelled him
not only to justify the Kellogg usurpa
tion, but also .o approve the subsequent
military intervention forits maintenance,
we refrained eveu from an expression of
our surprise at bis course, so widely at
variance with the known sentiments of
his constituents and of the constitutional
Democracy of the Uuion. When, how
ever, lie not only failed to raise his voice
m and imnciutiou of a deliberate and per
sistent system of usurpation aud out
rage, such as has never before disgraced
the auuuls of even the Radical party,
but by his vote in the last hours of Con
gress contributed to defeat the parlia
mentary tactics of the Democrats, the
object of which was to prevent Iha en
dorsement of the Kellogg usurpation by
the Radical' majority mi that ()<> ly,
wo were constrained, more iu sorrow
than in any spirit of fault finding with
our distinguished Representative, to ex
press our dissent from Ins oourse."
Iu the comumuicatiou referred to,
signed ■"i’hilokris,” and which from its
position nnd the leaded style in which it
is put up, may bo considered as sent
forth with editorial sanction,) the writer,
after stating that what he had said iu a
previous article about “the distinguished
antlior” of “the war between the States,”
"was iu sorrow not in anger,” goes ou
with the following language :
“And some people entertained un
bounded confluence in liis resources,
power and luilueuoe. They looked ou
inm us the Moses who was to lead us
through the wilderness of difficulties in
which we had become involved sate to
the Caiman of restored position and
weight iu the administration of the af
fairs of this country. They looked on
him as the greatest living Apostle, the
very l’aul of State sovereignty. Aud
what was the sequel? What lias lie done?
How has he defended Btate rights ?
Wlnit has been his oourse ? He lias de
fended back-pay, supported Grout, voted
with Radicals against Democrats ! Oh !
what a falling off 1 How havo we found
our idol, clay 1"
First, then, as to the matter of the
above extracts, against which I enter
my unqualified protest.
When and whore, in what word, or by
what lined have I ever “upheld,’’ “de
fended,” or “supported” any act of
“usurpation” by General Grant or any
body else, either in low or high official
position ? I join issue with you directly
and squarely upon the facta on which
your accusations are baaed. You say
further iu your editorial that you ex
pectcd me, in my place in the House, to
make known the reasons which “impell
ed” me “to justify the Kellogg usurpa
tion.” When anil where, I ask, did I
ever by word or deed justify any usur
pation’ by Kellogg ? I aver that no “rea
sons” nor powers have yet “impelled,"
; or induced me to justify or sanction auy
I usurpation whatever, and never will so
| long as 1 retain the faculties of my miud.
| This statement, that I have by some act
or word justified the Kell»sg “unurpa
| tiou," yiu will please allow me most re
j speetfully to say, is as groundless in
point of fact aa it is injurious iu force of
terms. My life has been devoted to the
I maintenance of right against wrong—
the rights of individuals us well as the
rights of Btates against all abuses of
power which tend to oppression and tyr
anny ; and you are most respectfully
asked to specify, if you eau, a single
word or act m that life, private or pnb
; lie, at variance with this averment. You
have the record of forty year's before
you.
If I have ever said or done anything
iu relation to any act of General Grant,
which is uut maintainable ou the immu
-1 table principles of right, truth, and jus
tice, you will do me a favor by naming
it
Again, you say in effect, (aud must
have meant to be understood as so sav
ing iu terms, if you meant anything,)
that my vote, “iu the last hours of Cou
; gross.” to take up the report of the Com
mittee ou Louisiana Allan's, tumbled the
I Radical majority of the House to en
dorse the Kellogg usurpation.
Allow me to say to you, ns before, that
this statement, if you intended it, as 1
suppose you did, is utterly erroneous.
My vote did not euablo the Radical ma
jority of the House to do auy suth thiug;
' nor did that majority do any such thing,
House to put
upon the
huge mSHHyof the Radical returning
board iiTLotusiaua, by which the Dem
ocracy of that Btate had been defraud
ed of tiie majority in the House of Rep
resentatives of the Legislature, to which
they were rightfully entitled. By my
vote, width turned the icale, and decided
the qusstjpp of taking np that report,
this condemnation was secured—a con
demnation the more signal from the fact
that it was unanimous—every Radical,
a. well as every Democrat, iu the H mse
votiog for it! This grand result, which
never would have beeu attained without
my vote, however you aud others may
look upon it, I regard as the greatest
triumph in the vindication of popular
rights and Btate rights achieved ou the
floor of Congress for the sixteen preced
ing years. It opened the way, too, for
another like vindication on the Arkansas
question, which soon followed.
But in voting, os I did, to take up the
report of the committee, I was found
voting with Radicals, sud “ngainst the |
parliamentary tactics of the Democrats.”
whose object, you say, was “to prevent |
the endorsement of the Kellogg usurps- ;
tion !” Thai is the “tactics” I did not j
yield to—it seems, were planned with a ;
view to present what no oue even pro- ;
posed to do. Wise aud sagacious leaders
of the “Democracy of the Union ”
think yon, were those who pljbned suen
“parliamentary tactics ?” Heaven forbid
that-nrtVwV WifTie ‘firtmd following sucb
leaders, when public liberty is at stake ;
and Heaven forbid that the cause of the
true Democracy of the United States
shall ever be committed for guidance aud
control to Bie hands of the authenjs of
such “tactic*!”
My great offence, then, consists in giv
ing a vote by which no change was ef
fected os to the Htatut of Kellogg, but
by which the crimes of the returning
board again*! the rights of the people
and of the Btate of Louisiana were nnan
mously condemned by the House of Rep
resentative* iu Congress ; and by which,
through the peaceful instrumentalities of
the Constitution, that Btate has been re
licvud from the terrible scourge of mili
tary interference, and the whole country
relieved, temporarily at least, from the
unguish of oue of those virulent cankers
upon the laxly politic growiug out of the
reconstruction usurpations of Congress,
against which I have ever wurred ami
ever shall war.
This, fi irmKith. is my blunder, my
crime, my Wife tllSh archangel fail ! It
is for this "I’hilokris" exclaims: “How
have we foirnd our idol, clay !’’ Iu this
consists my desertion Irom the principles
taught iu the "Constitutional view of
the war between the Btates? Excuse me,
Mr. Editor, for saying that all who thus
really think, if any such there las, have
my siuoerest pity and profouudest com
inisseration. Be assured, however, that
a majority of my constituents, aud a ma
jority, I trust, of the Democracy of the
Union, are not iu that class. Your as
sertion in this {larticular is, 1 ween, as
gratuitous as in others. You aud “Pbi
lokris” would do well also to rememlier
that it was not Moses who fell, but those
who departed frqm the true faith, and
erected m its stead n molten calf as their
“idol,” hefore'whicli they bowed down
and worshipped. Hence their troubles
and Huff rings.
Ho much os to the matter set forth iu
my double nmugnutout belore your read
ers. ( .<* E- *
Secondly, then, with your indulgence,
I have a lew’ words to add as to the toue
ol that arraignment. On this jaunt you
must allow me most respectfully to say
that aa it seems to me l oth articles evince
an object or purpose not unlike that ol
the wolf in the fable Unit was bent upon
u quarrel with his intended victim— fax
aut ne fa*. When the churge of mud
dying the waters iu the stream above
him liy tlie oue beloiv was too flimsy a
pretext to justify bis ulterior designs,
another oue more Hp'cnms, but equuliy
fallacious, was soon afterwards resorted
to. Whether the result m this case, it
it really be as it appears to me, will be
similar to that iu the fable, time must
disclose. But if this cose is not as it
seems to me, (which you know best;) if
the real object and purpose of these im
putations against my fidelity to true
Democratic principles lie not barely a
prelude to u contemplated ojarn war up
on me and my known jxisition iu tlie
coming great struggle between Constitu
tionalism and Centralism in the United
Btates, why, let me ask you, am I not
only thus assailed in your pajier ujx>u
charges so groundless, but uh>o made the
sjieiual object of assault lor my course
ujxm the repeul of the Act ol March,
1873, increasing the pay of members of
Congress ? Was my position on that
question different in any respect from
that of both of our distinguished Beuii
tors, Uordou aud Norwood ? if I voted
aguiust the repeal of that Act, did not
they both do the same ? Is it not well
known that General Uordou was iu Wash
ington 3d March, 1873, aud urged his
Ineuds to vote for the increase, though
he had not yet taken his seat ? Nay,
more, did not Benator Norwood not only
vote for the increase in March, 1873, but
also receive aud retain the “back pay ?”
If I defended those who, like Benator
NorwiKHl, voted for and received the
,’lmck pay” against the charge of being
“public robbers,” or being guilty of uuy
tbmg illegal or immoral lor so doing,
showing, u.s_t the ablest, truest
aud purest men of the country from the
beginning of the government had re
ceived the “back pay” ou the increase of
salary, does that justly subject me to be
singled out aud denounced tor my course
ou this subject? Does this thus singling
me out for reprehension in this matter
look much hke being “constrained” in
the expression of your dissent Irom my
Oourse "more iu sorrow than iu any spir
it of fault finding ?” To me it moks very
much as if your purpose was the same us
that of the wolf. I speak iu perfect can
dor and frankuess. What view others
may take of it I kuo *• not. I speak only
of myself on this point.
In regal'd to your “sorrow,” aud that
of your correspondent, allow me to as
sure you and him that I feel duly thauk
ful for your united sympathies, but tbiuk
you aud be better reserve them for more
appropriate bestowal. Iu the near fu
ture if you, he, and a majority of the
Democracy of the Union, snail still ad
here to the worship of your “nlot”
erected iu Baltimore in 1872, your pres
eut sorrows may be greatly increased,
but even then, if in life, I shall say, as
now, to you, aud all who denounce me
for what I bave doue in Congress, aud
shed tears of “sorrow” over it; “Weep
not for me, but weep for yourselves”
and for your country—brougnt to ruin
by the friends of the Constitution being
guilefully induced to follow those whose
“tactics” lead inevitably to defeat, dis
aster aud destruction.
Very respectfully,
Alexander H. Stephens.
