THE DANGER OF CAESARISM.
The fourth article upon thin subject,
from the New York Hetahl , wc reprint
to-day. Admirably line the theme been
treated. The predicament in which wo
find the Uuited States at this picscnt
is exceedingly deplorable—agitated by
questions and principles which most po
tently strike at the very foundation and
root of the liberties and happiness of
her people. A year or so ago ‘‘The
Empire,” a paper in the interest of
General Grant, was published in New
York; Borne say that Grant had a
leading interest in it; but however this
may be we have no means of determin
ing. Nevertheless, its avowed purpose
was to establish the President tor lite
at Washington —and he favored that
purpose. With Grant's record ol past
acts before us it is impossible to con
vince us that ho would uot readily ac
oept the “crown”—or a “third term,’
even — if proffered to him. Rome could
never have feared in Cjksar what wo
have already experienced in Grant. —
There is no record upon earth parallel;
with the history of the past few years.
CiKSAH, with his chicanery and inglo
rious ambitious, was spared the further
deformity of nepotism. —And this our
illustrious President has in superlative
abundance. The most degcucrate period
of France was purity when compared to
what our government has been since
Grant was elevated, and Grant elevated
to all the chief offices in the country his
kindred, regardless of talent and qualifi
cation. An intelligent, man with any
sense of honor, integrity, or patriotism,
oould never have been guilty of prac
ticing such contracted, selfish principles
—thrusting an enormity, deformed and
blackened by hatred and vice, upon the
fairest., and once the grandest, country
of earth. Rut wc have no fears for the
country. Wc have greater confidence
in the American people than to suppose
they would rest a morncut uuder an act
of imperialism. Wc yet have faith, and
feel security for the republic, contempt
for its present rulers, and certain their
days of evil arc numbered.
A Convention of Confederates at the
White Sulphur Springs.
We understand that the “Southern
Historical Society,” of which Rev. Dr.
Palmer, of New Orleans, is president,
has appointed a convention to assemble
at the Montgomery White Sulphur
Springs on the 14th of August inst.,
for the purpose of adopting some gene
ral plan for collecting aud preserving
the materials for a history of the late
war, and for having that history written
from an impartial Southern stand-point.
The society was organized several
years ago with Dr. Palmer as president,
and a vice-president for each one of the
late Confederate States as well as for
Maryland. Gen. R. E. Lee was the vice
president for Virginia, but after bis
death General J. A. Early was appoint
ed to succeed him.
The pian of tbecouvcntion is to have
a number of delegates appointed for
each State, by the Vice President there
of, in order to seciuo a proper repre
sentation, but it is also desired that
there Bhall be as large an uttedance as
practicable, of all those Confederates
who feel a sufficient interest in the ob
ject of the convention to induce them
to take part in its furtherance. We
are informed that a number of delegates
from this State have been appointed,
and that General Early, by request of
the parent society, will deliver the
opening address. The presence of a
number of distinguished officers of the
Confederate army is anticipated, and
among them General Joseph E. John
aton, Beauregard, Bragg, Hood, Har
dee, Hampton, and others. The con
vention will doubtless be one of great
interest and attraction. —Lynchburg Vir
ginian.
The murderer, Lusignani, lately
hung in New Jersey, had some native
wit. Just before ho was led out to be
executed one of the priests said, ‘ I
would willingly be in your place; you
will be in heaven soon.” “Well, take
iny Diace, ” said the prisoner; - “I will
get under the bed.”

THE DANGEROFCSESARISM
The Mission of the Dress in our I‘olltlrs
—The Meaning of the New Departure
—The Spiritof (keaarlsm Pervading
Our Public Lift.
Some of our contemporaries arc ask
ing, “What does the llcrald mean by
its new departure? What docs it pro
prose to gain by the crusade upon the
administration and the republican par
ty ? What grievance does it represent?
What hope does it, cherish ? What
aim will it attain?” It w not always
wise to stop aside from a discussion ns
earnest and grave as that now interest
ing the best minds in both parties to
'answer questions of a personal i aturc.
Rut some times personal questions are
| of the most general character, and in
responding to the inquires of our con
temporaries some view-s in relation to
the press and politics may not be un
worthy of our atteption.
The meaning of the Herald's new dc
parture, as it is called, is simply this :
Wo do uot. choose to wait uutil some
insincere, scheming politicians assemble
and form what they call platforms and
ask us to take one side or another. Wo j
do not chooso to accept issues crudely |
fashioned and hastily thrown upon us. —
We do not care to boa party to that
spirit of deception which would lead
the people after unessential questions
like free trade, protection, woman’s suff
rage, prohibition—questions that arc
gradually and surely ripening from day
to day, under the influence of education
and inquiry, while issues of the utmost
gravity arc coming upon us unawares.
There are our finances to be strengthen
ed, aud uutil wc do that free trade dis
cussion is as idle as the hooting of owls
to the midnight winds. There are the
Southern States to be reconstructed;
not reconquered and robbed, but recon
structed with generosity, manliness and
wise statesmanship. Before we experi
ment ou new plans of suffrage let us sec
what suffrage is doing in the South, aud
make sure that in saving the Union we
have uot added to our States anew Po
land or anew Ireland. Above all, more
menacing and burdened with graver
dangers, in this spirit of Caesarism
which pervades our politics and threat
ens to destroy the Republic itself in
the nomination of Grant for a third
term.
This is the dominant issue. Shall
w’e have Caesar ism or. republicanism V
Grant is the master of the situation.—
He can nominate himself if he chooses.
There is no power in his party to
to break bis control of it. Whether
he does or not, the issue remains.
If he retires from thveanvass then wc
owe to his magnanimity relief from a
great danger. While we should honor
him for doing so, as he would be honor
ed in all time, we should feel that the
constitution is imperfect which leaves
the people's liberties at the mercy of
any man’s magnanimity. Wbat we
want is a nobler, purer public spirit.—
Cicsarism does not rest with Grant
alone. Perhaps of all the men in his
party he is freest from it. Rut iu the
giddy height on which fortune has
placed him one knowns not what dreams
may come, especially if one sleeps un
der the incense of a court of flatterers.
Wc had Caesarism iu the Credit Mobi
lier—Cmsarism in its worst form ,- and
although that arose before the time of
Gen. Grant, in the evil days of Andrew
Johusou, the men who were iuvolved
in i^—Garfield, Dawes, Wilson, Bing
liarn, Kelley, Patterson—wore the
mainstays of the President’s adminis
tration Chief among them was the
uufortunatc Colfax—-a man who left
the Vice Presidency under a cloud as
great and as deserved as that which
enveloped Aaron Burr when he retired
from the same office. Men of this class
made Caasarism possible in Rome, aud
they have lowered our public tone. —
When we see the President covering
Mr. Colfax with bis endorsement and
sending another of the unholy combina
tion as Minister to a foreign Court,
wbat can we say ? What can we think ?
How art thou fallen, 0 Columbia, from
the days of Jefferson and Adams, when
men like these rule the State and com
mand the respect aud affection of the
honest, simple, straightforward soldier,
Grant!
This, then is our now departure ! Wc
have nothing to gain except as the
country may prosper. Wc have no hope
except that virtue will oucc more be
regarded as an attribute of statesman
ship We are engaged in no crusade
upon the Republican party, except so
far as it may bo led by the worshippers
of Csesarism likeslieep into the shambles.
Wc certainly have no grievance ; none
with Grant nor any member of bis ad
ministration. * * * The question
whether we are to have Csesarism or
Republicanism does not concern us, as
it docs our children. In that contest
wo are enlisted, and shall servo to the
end of the war.
•A LETTER FROM GENERAL J. A.
EARLY
Embraeeing a Communication from
General Beauregard. Explaining
I nnd Defending His Position.
“BRAtTRKOAKP AND t'XIFIi'ATION.”
m
Lynchburo, July 20, 1873.
To the Editor of the Petersburg Index
and Appeal:
Gkwti.kmkn:—l find in your paper
of to-dny, with your endorsement, an
extract from the Raleigh (N. C.) Sen- ,
duel, severely commenting on General j
Rcauregard in connection with what is |
known as “unification.” I take the oc- !
casion to make an appeal in behalf of
my old commander, friend and comrade,
against the condemnation which is be
ing heaped upou him by persons who
do not understand bis position nnd mo
tives. lam lately in receipt of a letter I
from him, aud I take the liberty of
copying a portion of it. He says :
“Like many others, you think that
we havo time to wait, and allow matters
to adjust themselves quietly nnd gradu
ally; but I can assure you that wc arc
‘driven to the wall,’ and ‘are ou our
last legs.’ No oue can realize our sad
distress unless be witnesses our condi- j
tion. It makes one’s heart Meed to
think of the poverty and ruin which are
actually staring in the face most of our
best people. Ido not speak for myself
and family, for, thanks to my profes
sional reputation, I can manage to get
along comfortably enough hero or else
where, but I refer to those thousands
of planters who have no other resource
than their industry and knowledge of
the cultivation of the soil . Take away
from them the : r plantations, and they
are perfectly helpless.
“Our ‘unification’ movement may
not take ‘like a prairie fire,’ but it will
surely succeed in this State when view
ed in its proper light; for, after all, we
only propose to accord to the colored
people the political and civil rights
guaranteed to them by our Radical con
stitution on condition that they will
aid us in getting rid of those vaga
bonds who have been plundering us so
unmercifully for the last five years.
“In advocating this plan I give up
no principle and wish to part with no
friends. I believe now, as I did when
l fired the first gun in 1801, and one
of the last iu 1805, that the cause wc
upheld was a just and holy one; but
we failed in our struggle, were overpow
ered and conquered, and wc have to
submit to the old Gallic maxim inalhcur
atix vaineus. I view our present condi
tion in its practical light. If I were
attacked by a set of highway robbers,
and some negroes could come to my
assistance, ought I to refuse their aid
because they are colored people? No,
indeed ! I would accept it, and give
them probably my shirt with which to
make a rope to hang the scoundrels ;
aud thus I am willing to do for the
plunderers of Louisiana. This move
ment is uot all political, nor do I re
commend it to other States not simi
larly situated, where the inhabitants
are not boldly called upon by those in
authority (under the protection of Fed
eral bayonets) to ‘stand and deliver.’
“What I recommend to my people is
simply ‘unification’ to rid ourselves of
those unscrupulous carpet-baggers who
are ruining us, and ‘immigration’ to
enable our planters to change their ex
tensive and expensive plantations into
small, profitable farms, by which also
we will be able to turu our vagrant
colored population into property-holders
and tax-payers, thereby making them
useful, conservative citizens.
“My friends need not fear that I
shall go farther in this movement than
lat first intended. lam no politician,
and have no desire to occupy office,
either Federal, State, or municipal; and
no consideration at present (in view of
the position I have assumed) could in
duce mo to accept one if tendered to
me. Those who are absurd and unjust
enough to compare mo to an cx-Con
federate officer whoso mourning we
wear in our hearts, must know very
iittle of me if they suppose I am about
to follow his example. I have too high
a regard for my reputation (which be
longs not alone to me) ever to forswear
the past; but at the same time, I claim
the right of advising, to the best of my
ability, my fellow citizens of Louisiana
what is best to do to save themselves
and their State from utter ruin nnd
desolation. Having done so, my part
is ended, nnd their’s must commence.”
Now, 1 submit that, however much
we may dissent from Gen, Rcauregard
and his coadjutors ns to the soundness
of the policy proposed by them, there
is no good aud sufficient cause for iui
pugning Ids motives, nnd casting upon
him (lie grave censure which hns boon
visited by some, nor tor classing him
with those who have proved recreant to
former principles.
Wo must consider tho teiriblo ordeal
through which tho people of Louisiana
arc passing, and recollect that we have
not. yet been subject to such a test.—
Heaven knows that I have no toleration
for infidelity to sacred principles or to
the memories of the past, and I have
taken occasion to express to General
Beauregard my decided conviction that
he lias committed a grave mistake, and
will - be disappointed in tho results of
his movement; but 1 have no doubt of
tho entire integrity of his motives, and
can take him by the hand as cordially
as ever, feeling that, though mistaken,
he has shown a degree of heroism in
making a sacrifice of his feelings for
the good of his people, which is, per
haps, not surpassed by any that has
marked his former career.
Let us all take warning from the sad
fate of the people of Louisiana, and the
terriblo straits to which her best citi
zens aro reduced for the purpose of get
ting some slight relief, aud unite, with
one mind aud one will, in a supreme
effort to save our State from the con
trol of the Radical party, and prevent
the infliction upon us of such wrongs
as those endured by Gen. Beauregard’s
followcitizens, for fear that some of
our people may be reduced to the dire
extremity of sueit g to their former
slaves for mercy.
After all, when we view the question
aright, Gen. Beauregard is yielding no
thing to the negro, but, finding his peo
ple powerless and helpless at the feet
of unscrupulous adventurers from abroad
who are sustained by the roost infamous
native renegades, and backed by the
bayonets of the merciless government
at Washington, and as he bedieves help
lessly so, he appeals for relief to the
deluded negroes who have been used as
tools in reducing Louisiana to her pre
sent condition, with the belief that this
furnishes the only possible means of es
cape from utter ruin aud desolation.
Let us respect the motives of a brave
man reduced to the necessity of resort
ing to such and expedient, and not add
to the difficulties and distress of his
position by visiting him with undeserv
ed opprobrium. Sooner or later, the
fate of Louisiana must be that of all
the Southern States which may ccmo
under tho rule of the Radical party,
and if, by our dissensions on minor
questions, or our apathy, wo shall per
mit the government of our State to be
wrested from the control of her true
white people we will deserve the dread
ful lot which will most assuredly be
ours.
Very respectfully, your obd’t servant,
J. A. Early,
♦- m ♦
Imperial Honors to our Shati.—
President Grant and suit were received
with military honors by the citizens of
Kingston, N. Y., on Tuesday last.—
The telegram informs us that the party
were met at the landing by an immense
crowd, and disembarked amid Enthusi
astic cheers, music arid firing of cannon.
The party took carriages and were es
corted through the principal streets,
which were thronged with people and
gay with flags, to the residence of Gen.
Sharpe. Who wouldn’t be President
of the United States, with nothing to
do but junket over the country, at a
salary of §50,000 a year, and presents
and perquisites to double that amount ?
One of the many capital punishments
in use under the Chinese Criminal
Code is that of deprivation of sleep,
which generally proves fatal in about
ten days. Five foolish young Belgians
lately tried this experiment upou them
selves with more or less disagreeable
results. They laid a wager that they
would remain awake seven days, on
condition that they might use all pos
sible means of keeping off sleep. They
arranged the employment of their time
in the following manner: The night
was spent in dancing and drinking
qu an ties of coffee; during the day they
rode, fenced or shot at a mark, taking
coffee every half hour, One of these
young men won the wager, but lost
twenty-five pounds in weight; two fell
asleep after remaining awake one bund
red and thirty hours; one was seized
with inflammation of the lungs; the fifth
was overcome by slumber while on
horseback, foil and broke his arm, and
thus ended this very unnecessary or
deal.
