lUESESDAY MORNING, JUNE G, 1871.
Tlie Paris Jnsnrrection
Is reported suppressed, at last, with a loss of
sixty thonsand lives and one-third of that mag
nificent city. We believe ranch of this is dae to
the want of energy and promptitnde by the
Thiers government is dealing with the Commu
nist* at first."' If (hey hod been encountered at
once, with energy and decision, it is probable
one resolute conflict- wonld have settled the
matter. But time was lost in a useless effort to
compromise differences, during which the mal
contents swelled their numbers with prodigious
rapidity, till they finally secured exclusive pos
session of Paris and all its immense resonrces,
including its fortifications, and organized a gov
eminent very little less formidable than that of
Thiers—indeed, for a time, much more formi
dable. Then more delay became necessarry to
concentrate the power and energies of the
French people outside of Paris, as well as to
check revolt in other cities; nnd what was at
firat a mero emeute of a few hundred disiprderly
spirits rose to the proportions a of civil war.
If the Insurgents had been attacked vigorously
within forty-reight hours after making: their
stand ai- Montmartre, it is more than probable
that they wonld have been reduced to order with
very little loss of lifo or property.
Cotton Figures, j
The total receipts of the current cotton year,
np to Friday night, footed up 3,75G,89& bales,
against 2,750,047 for the corresponding. period
of 1870. This shows a gain of 1,006,851 bales.
With the same receipts as in. 3870 for the re
mainder of the cotton year the crop wonld foot
np 4,161,798 bales, and with 25 per cent. In
crease' wonld rise to 4,263,022 bales. We see
that the dispatches talk about an estimated
decrease in cotton acreage this year of fire to
twenty-five per cent. We regard that a3 com
paratively immaterial. Tho main decrease will be
in the yield per cere, and compared with last
year, we venture to assert, will be almost unex
ampled in the history of cotton-growing.
The Massacre op the French Clergy.—Tho
telegrams report that Archbishop Darboy and
sixty-two priests wero murdered in cold blood
by the insurgent Communists. Archbishop Dar
boy is said to bo tho third incumbent of his
exalted position who has met with a violent
death in the last twenty-five year3. He was bom
in 1813, and consequently was fifty-eight years
old—a man eminent both as a preacher and a
writer—of very moderate and temperate views
and great amiability. Minister Washbnmo
sought and obtained an interview with him after
his arrest, and found him incarcerate in a very
filthy dungeon, but displaying the mo3t patient,
hopefal and charitable spirit.
Me. Greeley in Texas.—A Houston corres
pondent of the New York World says that the
sago of Chappaqua went to Texas on the invi
tation of the State Fair Association of that city,
which is composed of about a hundred citizens,
every one of whom is a Democrat, and that their
letter of invitation inclosed him §500 to pay ex
penses. The writer says 40,000 people will
meet Greeley in Houston, and he will be feted
to the top of his speed on a cold water basis.
Two results of the movement were expected to
follow—it would advertise the fair, and satisfy
Greeley that a Northern man can get through
the South with a whole skin.
Statement op Foster Blodgett.—Under tho
frank of Foster Blodgett, United States Sena
tor, we have a pamphlet of 35 pages, entitled as
above, whioh purports to be “a reply to the
charges of Joshua Hill”—the whole forming a
bouquet that is exceedingly fragrant, and the
odor of which must prove most grateful to loil
nostrils. Not being in that lino ourself, how
ever, we have not found any special delecta
tion in it except perhaps in intensifying the
wholesome contempt we, in common with all
honest men, feel for the author.
The Philadelphia Evening Herald says: “We
can scarcely credit the rumor, yet it has ob
tained circulation, and is thought by many to
havo some foundation, that Secretary Stanton
committed suicide by cutting his throat. It is,
of course, denied by his friends; but, on the oth
er hand, it is asserted that when tho undertaker
came to put the body in tho coffin ha found it
already prepared, with a bandage tied around
the neck. It is also stated that hi3 life was
heavily insured, and that no application has as
yet been made for the insurance money.”
Vabmintb on the Teach.—On tho Florida,
Atlantic and Gnlf Central Railroad, the other
day, tho locomotive encountered a huge black
bear on the track. Bruin was violently dis
placed by tho cow-catcher, bnt the train did
not stop to inquire into damages. On Friday
last, the np train from .Brunswick, some thirty
or forty miles from that place, ran over.a large
alligator in the act of crossing the track, sev
ering his head from his body and inflicting cor
responding damage on his caudal appendage.
The Memphis Appeal asserts that at Bowling
Green, Ky., Greeley was Kn-klnxed by a fat
country dame. “Oh, whar is he?” she exclaim
ed. “He and my father and my old man wear
alters Whigs together, -and I must see him.”
Mr. Greeley was pointed ont. The heavy brig
ade in petticoats made a charge, and Horace
went down. Ho was hugged and kissed, and
tho old hat was smashed and the greasy old coat
well sanded, and Horace almost crashed* to
death.
Anotheb Bucket of Ice Water.—Last Thurs
day the Joint Kn-klnx Committee received an
oflicinl copy of Judge Bosteed’s address to the
Grand Jary of the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Alabama, in which
he says there is no Ku-klux in that State, and
bnt one case of alleged offence against United
States laws since the jury met a year ago. As
Bostced is one of the alarmingly loyal, the ad
dress is most discouraging.
The Wesleyan newspaper published at Syra
cuse, N. Y., declares that the only remedy for

tional Amendment? — - .

News from Southwestern Georgia.
Oar weekly flying visit to this region of tho
State, has developed nothing of p salient or
startling character, save’the trial and conviction
of John Kelly for complicity with the Ames
Circus tragedy, and the escape from prison of
himself, and a brother (Charles) who was found
'guilty of the murder of Oxford, at the March
term. .
The case was called on Thursday last, S. D.
Irvin, Esq., of this city, appearing for the State,
while the defence was conducted by Messrs.
Hawkins, Wooten, Hoyle, Morgan, Simmons
and Harper. The testimony wa3 of a very
mixed and conbradictory nature, and so volum
inous as to cover over one hundred pages of
foolscap manuscript
It is conceded on all sides that in the exam
ination of witnesses, the sifting of the evi
dence, and the masterly argument which fol
lowed, Mr. Iivin greatly distinguished himself.
Counsel for the defence also left no stone un
tamed in behalf of the prisoner, and several
ingenious and exhaustive speeches were made
by them.
After a lengthy charge from the bench, the
jury retired at a late hour of Saturday night,
and about 2£ a. m. the next morning, bronghtin
a verdict of voluntary manslaughter.
The prisoner was 'then remanded tof jail to
await his sentence, and a guard placed over th<
premises. About nine o’clock, however, after
the latter had been removed, the two brothers,
John and Charles, succeed in forcing the win
dow of the prison, arid made good their escape.
Mapy reports are in circulation concerning
the affair, and the . excitement is very great.
Mr. Irvin, counsel for the State, immediately
repaired to the jail and made a correct drawing
of the building and premises, with a view to
legal investigation.
A fine rain on Sabbath extended oyer a large

Lollly Triumphant.
Wo heard, yesterday, that Mr. Elijah Bond,
the new Postmaster, had very gracefully and
cheerfully recognized hi3 obligations to the
superior race, by putting a big, black buck ne
gro of the “trooly loil” persuasion, in training
for the position of general delivery clerk of tho
post-office at this place.
We suppose this move will prove exceedingly
grateful to the grand army of bummers, and
superfine, double-twisted loil “ring” that credits
itself with Mr. Bond's appointment, bnt we may
be permitted to express a doubt whether it will
be quite so acceptable to the decent citizens of
Macon whose patronage alone makes the offioe
of Postmaster worth having. The inconveni
ence and disorder that will result to the busi
ness community from this vindication of loilty
are of course mere bagatelles weighed in the
scale against the triumph of the immortal prin
ciples of equality “fore de law,” and the aplift-
ing of the Grant banner in this rebel locality.
The life of the nation is now secufe, and the
development of our resonrces inthe interests of
progress and civilization assured beyond perad*
venture. Sorely there is abundant cause for
thankfulness that the sight and knowledge of
this triumph have been vouchsafed to ns.—
Kune dimittis is the only motto that accords
with our feelings at present, and therewith
must we content ourselves as a fit conclusion of
this paragraph.
Baylor Rcdlvivns.
We had almost lost sight of that sweet shrub
of Southern loilty, O. G. Baylor,' whilom of
Georgia—putatively, at least—and whose-mov
ing eloqnence on the stamp and through the
papers, at divers times since the war, and in be
half of the persecuted Iambs of Jacobinism down
this way, no doubt put stamps in Baylor’s pock
et and a holy hate for rebels in the hearts of his
hearers. In fact, we had not thought of Baylor
in so long that it was almost equal to never hav
ing thought of Baylor at alL We took it for
granted that he had got an office of some kind,
and therefore was happy and silent, once more.
Bat we wero in error. Baylor has broken out
afresh. He is lecturing in Boston in aid of the
aforesaid Iambs, again, and his lecture essays to
sail into the hearts of the Bostonians under the
captivating colors of a “Loyal,Appeal from the
South.” This is his last little game to put Bay
lor on the high ground of clean shirts, blacked
boots and sqnare meals.. Bat it don’t seem to
work at all, at all. Boston evidently perceives
what an eminently representative bummer of
the bloviating and gaseous persuasion Baylor is,
or else it has ceased to take interest in “Loyal
Appeals from the South.” The Boston Post
tells the following story of Baylor’s last failure.
It says, and can anything be sadder ?: m t <
Mr. C. G. Baylor chose a very inopportune
time for the inauguration of bis lecturing tour
in thi3 section. The season is rapidly passing
away, the “lyceum platform”, of which Mr.
Phillips speaks is already deserted, and the
pnbUo has absorbed its stated amount of rhet
orical instruction, and moral circuses already
claim their day. It was doubtless the influence
of these causes, combined with the sultriness of
tho weather, which caused the meagre attend
ance at Tremont Temple last Friday evening.
To nothing else can we attribute that lack of
interest in the trials of Mr. Baylor and his fel
low-loyalists of Georgia, which fonnd pecuniary
expression in the purchase of tickets only to
the amonnt of two dollars and fifty cents. It
is also to be regretted that the fee of the door
keeper, amounting to one dollar and a half, ab
sorbed so much of the proceeds, reducing toe
sum applicable to defraying Mr. Baylor’s ex
penses, rent of the hall, etc., to one dol
lar. This, we repeat, most have been due
entirely to the unfavorable circnmstanoes
abov« mentioned, for Mr. Baylor comes here
with his lecture in the employment and under
the patronag* of distinguished gentlemen, occu
pying prominent office in the Commonwealth
and holding high position in mercantile ciroles,
whose management of tho venture must neces
sarily be carefal end excellent in every way.
But while the “Lojal Appeal from the South”
availed so little as a popular attraction, neither
did Mr. Baylor’s eloquence succeed in softening
the heart of an officer of the law, who sat, an
attentive listener, through the thrilling recital
of the wrongs of Georgia loyalists, only to do
his duty quietly but firmly at the close of the
“appeal.” Fresh from tho land of the Ku-klax,
this untimely interference with his patriotic
labors is doubtless of (rifling consequence to
Mr. Baylor; but we nevertheless tender our
sympathy to him and his employers, in view of
the cinel fate which follows him with disloyal
violence in Georgia, and snaps him up through
legal process a3 soon a3 he comes North to tell
about ft. . -i ; "'l j .i. 'i Si-h/siriX Tjp

■- Mr. Bawls in Atlanta.
Mr. Davis passed through Atlanta on Satur
day last, and a large concourse of people visited
him at the Kimball House,"and gave him a very
enthusiastic greeting. General Garlington ad
dressed him in a florid speech, and Mr. Davis
responded at some length. The most of his
speech was oocnpied in very general observa
tions oh the material and political condition.
He did not despair of the future, but, on the
contrary, looked forward with entire confidence
to the ultimate triumph of the great prinoipleB
of civil freedom. "We append the following
paragraphs from the Son’s report:
I have nothing to say to yon to-night of poli
tics, and my friends, I hope you have nothing
to do with them. Yon have political power, and
its exercise is only postponed until the coming
of that event which I certainly anticipate—the
restoration of your constitutional rights. [Ap
plause.] Let ns then stand still and qmetly
await developments. The men of tho North,
like yourselves, love their Government and un
derstand their rights, and men of the North
have no idea of surrendering in their own coun
try, those great bulwarks of constitutional liber
ty, the right of trial by jury, the right to elect
their own officers, and the right to determino
their own internal policy, and a3 soon as their
prejudice and hatred against tho South are re
moved and they see that by the unlawful action
of those in power toward the Sonth these sacred
4ights of theirs- arein danger of being invaded,
they will becomeyour adjuncts; and you will-hole 1
,e the balance of power, and in that hour your
power will be great and your snccess will be
great. [Applause.]
I have said, and I repeat it, that I despair not
of the restoration of onr liberties. They are not
ours only, they are equallyThe liberties of the
people of the North and the South. And when
they at the North see that laws are made for
their oppression, do you not believe that the
men who have descended from re volutionary sires
will raise their voice against them ? Do you not
belieya that when they comeiolook camiy upon
the question between the North and South, tbey
will form parties and platforms upon which yon
can stand ? And when that hour comes, then
will come the fulfillment of the promised era of
constitutional liberty which I so confidently an
ticipate and hope for to-day. .1 may not live to
see it, but if I do not, I shall die confidently be
lieving that it will come. -
I know, my friends, that in this I ran counter
to the feelings that are prevalent in different
portions of onr country, but I believe this i3
the true policy for the Sonth to pursue at pres
ent.- The Sonth eannot hasten the day of her
deliverance by attempting to assume a leading
part in the politics of the country to-day. Let
her people quietly and earnestly devote them
selves to the work of improving and building
np their material prosperity, leaving those who
have the power, to settletoese questions among
themselves, simply saying to them we know onr
rights,-know they are invaded, and then wait
patiently until we see them divided and at issue
with themselves, and join the party and support
the candidate and the platform that promises a
restoration of constitutional liberty. It is then
that yon will hold the balance of political power
in your own hands, and it is then that all your
rights will once more be restored and guaran
teed. [Applause.]
I have shaken hands with politics. I am now
engaged upon matters of life insurance. [Laugh
ter and applause.] I would like to insure all your
lives for a hundred years. [Laughter and ap
plause.] I have, therefore, my friends, very
quietly presented this opinion which I entertain
upon the subject that has been the study of
former bnt not recent years. I know I can do
yon no good. T am not engaged in public affairs,
but I hope to do yon some good by showing the
world that though I have retired from active
pnbllo service, yet it is my purpose to serve you
with head and heart and hand as long as I live.
Your interest is mine, not in a mere abstract
and general sense, bnt in that devoted care
which I have for your welfare and happiness,
and the, only reward I ask or seek is, that I may
live to see all your political rights restored,
•and the whole South prosperous, independent
and happy. [Applause.] Therefore, in what I
have said I have only spoken of what I consider
the best policy for the people of, the Sonth, nn
der the present circumstances, to pursue. * Let
the people of the North take care of themselves.
You went to war upon the same question for
which your ancestors and theirs contended in
the first revolution against the government of
Great Britain—the right of communal indepen
dence, or State sovereignty. Yon secured it in
that first war, and State sovereignty must again
be restored or else the republic of America is a
failure. Despotism cannot be exercised nnder a
republican form of government. And,my friends,
if yon can bnt wait, all will bo welL If any Of us
die before the day of peace and liberty dawns, let
ns die in the faith that it will come at last. The
people of the North will never surrender their
rights, and when they Bee the danger at home,
then they will need your aid and will come to
you, add then you will be crowned with victory
and triumphant success. [Applause.]
Iam not of those who “accept the situation.”
I accept nothing. These cant phrases that we
hear so much of about “accepting the situa
tion,” and about onr rights having been sub
mitted to the “arbitrament of the sword,” ore
bnt the excases of cowards. [Applause.] I ad
mit that power prevails over truth. I admit
that that power is so great that it would be folly
to resist it, and therefore I am in favor, my
self, of being acquiescent, and I advise yon to
the same coarse ; bnt I do not admit that onr
rights have ever been submitted to the “arbi
trament of the sword.” Who hss the power to
submit your liberties to the arbitrament of bat
tle ? Yon never delegated that power to your
representatives. I, as your executive, never
claimed it, and never, dying or. living, will I
admit it. [Applause.] And then, my friends,
about this much talked-of subject of “accepting
the situation,” yon are not called upon to ac
knowledge that yon have done wrong unless you
feel it. I don’t believe I did any wrong, and
therefore I. don’t acknowledge it All that a
government has a right to claim from any of its
subjects is that they will quietly submit to the
law. Liberty of law : is. their inheritance and
submission to the law; as long as-it is snob, is
their duty and their obligation, and it should be
their pride.

Remarkable Results from Six Acres.
The Memphis Avalanche records as among
tho most remarkable. results of farming on a
small scale, the crops raised last year by O. M.
Drury, of De Soto county, Mississippi. He went
to Mississippi, went jnto farming to the extent
of six acres, one half of which hedevoted to cot
ton, and the other half to grain and root crops.
Recently Hill, Fontaine A Co., of Memphis,
with whom his business in this city was trans
acted, closed out the last of his products, and
made to him an acoount sales showing the fol
lowing result:
Sweet potatoes, net..,......;.;... ...$ 800
Five bales of cotton, net........................ 304
Total §1104
The average weight of the cotton was 441
pounds per bale, and the average yield per acre
735 pounds. Besides what the producer mar
keted ho raised on the six acres enough oats,
vegetables, etc., and half enough com for the
use of his stock and household, which left him
only some groceries and a little meat to pur
chase. It is presumed that he will raise his
own meat this season. In preparing the land
Mr. Drury ploughed with a Brinley plow, snb-
soiitag with what is termed; a full tongue. In
bedding ha,used stable manure and wood-pile
trasb, and to each acre he applied one bushel a
of salt. The averag* of liis products per Bore,

The Chronicle and Sentinel photographs Mr.

The central figure of the group is a tall bnt
thin man, straight as an arrow, and with more
the port and bearing of a soldier than a states:
man, though his manners are mast winning and
graceful, and every comer i3 immediately put at
his ease. A handsome shaped head, covered
with thick iron-gray hair (strange this is, for
few men in America sport natural hair after
fifty.) The face is thin and narrow, and the
cheeks are sunken somewhat, but the forehead
is high and intellectual, and the nose, slightly
aquiline, is delicately chiseled. The lips, drawn
closely together, denote the extraordinary firm
ness and resolution characteristic of the man.
The chin is covered with heard, and in addition
toa goatee, hejhas allowed beard to grow upon
his cheeks, and a closely trimmed moustache is
sported upon the upper lip. The beard is like
the hair, “a sable streaked with silver.” The
hands are narrow and symmetrical, and the fin
gers taperiDg and aristocratic. Hi3 whole ap
pearance denotes the highest nervous organiza
tion, combined with a wonderful- quantity of
brain-power. Always unostentatious in hb at
tire, Mr. Davis woro last night a neat bnt un
pretending suit of gray, the color reminding
one of the cloth worn by the soldiers of the
“Lost Cause."
The Atlanta Constitution, so far, is the only
one of onr exchanges that has had any extended
remarks on the recent railroad lease. It says:
The Central Railroad.—ibis bold corpor

no means a matter of doubt tbat he has been
aided by the strong judgment of Captain A. J.
White. The two are wily, daring railroaders,
with plnck and ability. The Atlanta and Sa
vannah Road threatened seriously the Macon
and Western, while it crowded sixty miles of
the Control into a condition of doabtfal profit.
A subtile, bnt most determined fight has, there
fore, been inaugurated and pushed against the
projected Air-Line from here to Savannah, and
it has finally culminated in. the lease of the
Macon and Western by the Central, and a focal-
ization of power against the Atlanta and Savan
nah enterprise, resulting in the defeat of the
aid to the latter road by the Savannah City
Council, that body evidently having yielded to
Central domination. This action of the City
Council is the more remarkable as the matter of
subscription by the city of Savannah to the At
lanta and Savannah Road bad been discussed in
public meeting, and after a stormy debate, res
olutions passed to let the people vote on the
matter. It was a bold move of the City Coun
cil to thus aot in the teeth of a public verdict,
and grasp from the - people the decision of the
subject. It showed the power of the Central
most markedly.
We allude^ to tho matter to make no war oil

Western, bnt to stir np the friends of the Atlan

have always been for a free, generous fight ini

and the Macon and Western, can’the blamed

The talk about railroad monopolies has got to
be a sort of cant that is as ineffectual as so
much breeze in affecting tho snn’a coarse. The
railroad companies are organizations of men
that are going to consult self-interest. As long
as they work in the rut of the law, abuse of
their monopolistic tendencies is thrown away.
When they boo them*elve threatened to destruc
tion ©*: paralysis,-they are going to work to
avert the danger and secure their prosperity.
If the Central has got the grasp and wealth ta
make formidable combinations to uphold its
jeopardized power, the way to battle it is sot to
unavailingly deny what it is entitled to do, and
what its opponents would do under the same
circumstances,-bnt to profit by its example and
work and combine, and spend money to gain

Railroad ComdinXtions—Latest Develop

be now currently understood that two important
railway movements have been made lately
which may "very well challenge the attention of
the people of Atlanta and the State.
It is said, ftnd we suppose truly said, that the
Central Road has made a lease of the Macon
and Western Road-for-an-Indefinite period—
almost. And it was reported in Gainesville on
Friday, we suppose on the authority of some of
the Directors of the AiHAseSallroadjnst from
Charlotte, that the ^Pennsylvania Central Rail-
road has secured a controlling interest in the
Richmond and Atlanta Air Line Road. These
large reported transactions excite, as of course
they should, alarge share of pnbllo attention. :

end going into a room where Mr. Buffington was
sleeping, took his pantB from nnder his pillow,
took tho safe key from thepoiket and opened
the safe, abstracting therefrom a large amount
of money. The amount stolen is stated to be
§15,000. A diligent search will, of course, be
made to apprehend the thief and recover the
money, and hopes are entertained that the
search will be sucessfnL

Tlie Feast of the Radical Robbers
and Raiders in Sonth Carolina as
Described by tbeir own Friends.
The New York Tribune evidently made a
mistake in the selection of its travelling cones-. miBe -
pondent for South Carolina. The man tells too
much truth to suit the taste of the Tribune
party and readers. Ho was sent down to hunt
up Ku-klax outrages but lo! and behold, he
prooeeda to ventilate through the Tribune
columns the sores and sln3 of tho Tribune’s
South Carolina friends. What a pestilent fellow!
Plainly he ia not the man for the place, and as
we see he has returned to Charleston and his
letters have ceased to appear, we conclude his
chmnnssion has been revoked. His last letter,
was from Columbia, dated May 11th, and from
it wo pick ont those plums: ... .
•_ AU the people, from the Governor down to
•pxiyate citizens of "both paftiraC'white men and
negroes, agree that, with few exceptions, the
members of-thA-Legislature were shamefully
venal, and sold their votes with.little, pretense
of secresy. The cost of the last session was
nearly ten times as mtioh as the average cost of
the sessions before the vfar.' As an "illustration
of where the money -went to, It is related that
one . member bought a pair of horses and paid
the owner by giving him an order on the Treas
ury for pay as a committee clerk, and that oth
ers furnished themselves with gold watches and
chainB-£n alike manner inexpensive to them
selves. • . • • ..j, , :
But it is against three or four of the State
officers that the anger of the tax-payers is espe-'
cially directed.. When the State Government
went into operation in 1S63, the only capital of
its members was their influence with the negro
voters, and they carried all their tangible for
tunes upon their baoks. Now they live in fine
mansions, drive fast horses, bay railroads,, es
tablish banks, and give every sign of-possessing
great wealth. .
The tax-payers do not rest their case, how
ever, on general assertions of corruption, but
they make specific charges against some of the
State officers, and these charges are repeated
and indorsed by many respectable Republicans
out of office. Perhaps the most serious of the
charges refers to the pnblio land. Bonds to the
amonnt of §700,000 were sold, and the proceeds
applied to purchasing land for, the State with
the purposo of reselling it oh long credit and in
small tracts to colored men, as a charitable un
dertaking. A Land Commissioner was appoint
ed, with numerous deputies. It turns ont that
the utmost value of the land purchased ip not
§200,000, and that all the rest of the money
went into the pookets of the commissioners and
some of the members of a supervisory board,
consisting of certain State officers. One man
made §90,000 on a single purchase. He bought
a tract of land for §30,000, agreeing with the
owner that the deed should be made for $120,-
000, drew the money from the treasury, paid
the owner and pocketed’ the difference. In
some cases land was bought in oa which there
were unsatisfied mortgages, to its full value, and
the money drawn to pay the mortgages has dis
appeared.
The correspondent winds np his communica
tion with an extract from a letter that had just
been published in Colombia, from the Attorney-
General of the State, D. H. Chamberlain, a
strong Radical, bnt evidently much too decent
a man for his surroundings. Says Chamber-
lain, referring to tho political and financial con
dition of the State: -’
Three years have passed, and the result is—
what? Iacomp6teney, dishonesty, corruption
in all its forms, have “advanced their miscrea
ted fronts,” have put to flight the small rem
nant that opposed them, and now role the party
which rules the State. You may imagine the
chagrin with which I make this statement.—
Truth alono compels it. My eyes see it—all my
senses testify to the startling and sad fact. I
can never be indifferent to anything which
touches the fair fame of that great national
party,, to which aU my deepest convictions at
tach me, and I repel the libel which the party
bearing that name in this State is daily ponring’
upon 03. I am a Republican by habit, by con
viction, by association; bnt iny Republicanism
is not, I trust, composed solely of equal parts of
ignorance and rapacity. Suph is the plain state
ment of the present condition of^ the .dominant
parly of our State.
Such are reconstruction’s fruits in South
Carolina, 'and with slight changes tho picture
will stand for every other Southern Stato ’where
the infamy has been planted. " ■
And yet wo are told that the South and the
Democratic party, to put themselves in a posi
tion to wipe, out this nauseous villainy and pun
ish Its perpetrators, most accept as irreversible
the very processes 'and legislation which have
made both villains and villany not only possible
but inevitable. This scans illogical as well as
humiliating, but every day’o record of political
events has th9 appearance, to us, of crystalizing
it into a stubborn, ugly fact. It is an anomaly
in politics that, to our knowledge, has no par
allel in American history—full as that reoord is
of startling transformations, unique inconsist
ences, and astounding paradoxes.
Well, it is onr Northern Democratic brethren
who' are; at Iasi; ta decide"’the question and
course for us all. Into their hands wo commit
the work both of planning and leading the as
sault against the hosts who fight and filch under
the skull and cross-bones banner of Jacobinism.
Heaven send they may bring to the task their
clearest brains, their stoutest hearts, their most
remorseless nerves. All wo ask is that if the
dose must be swallowed it be presented in all
its sequences must be accepted, let there be no
mistake about the acceptance in the words used
to set it forth. If , we must recant, let 113 do it
like men who mean what they say and who,
whatever their desire, do not intend to cheat
either in the spirit or letter of that recantation.
The ceremony is bitter enough and solemn
enough in itself, without being made more re
pulsive by a poorly concealed purpose to declare
it a mockery the moment it can be done with
safety. That is both despicable and—in the
end—dangerous. The other may be only one
of tho two— ishiih one, let’ the reader answer
for himself.
