Tot Eifiirr Horn Law.—The Committee on
Industrial Interests and Labor, in the Pennsyl
vania Constitutional Convention, has submitted
a long report on the eight hoar question, with
a recommendation that the two resolutions pra-
aanted on tha sebjeot, one of them fixing eight
honrs as a legal day’s work, and the other pro
hibiting the Legislature from ever interfering
with the right of the employer to regulate the
boars of labor and priors to be paid for the
tame, be rejected by the Convention. The re
port deolares that a compulsory eight hoar law
oasnot be enforced, and takes strong ground in
favor of a constitutional provision establishing
beyond legislative removal, the right of the
people to form associations or corporations for
any lawful business, with either limited or un
limited liability.
Tas CuKosna Hcjrmso the Rioobds.—A
Georgia Granger tells ns the brethren have
been tending into atatistios above their ankle#
lately. They find that the farming interest In
Georgia comprises jnst about eight tenths of
the voting popniation of the State. Upon look
ing into State legislation, they find as follows:
fix-tenth* of it devoted to altering and amend
ing the Code, and the general hnsiness of
facilitating the enforocment of contracts, or
eluding them aa the case may be. Trom two to
two and a half- tenths Is in relation to corpora
tions. Abont one and a half-tenth may be
characterised nodor the head of miscellaneous.
Lea than one tonth has any special referenoe
to tbs interests of tbs formers, who compose
eight-tenths of tho voters. This shows the way
the old thing works. This indioalea the chi
merical and nopiaotioai character of legislation
ia Georgia, which negleots and overslaughs the
great foundation interest of society. The
grangers are miking np their minds to get a
hairing hereafter.
The Doylcstown Democrat, ono of the ablest
and beat weeklies in Pennsylvania, has this to
■ij by way of advioe to those who take tha
paper published in their own oonnty r
Fomas oir Nswsrarxns.—After an exemption
from postage on newspapers, within the oonnty
where they are printed, sinee the government
was founded. U is to bo exaoted from the first
day of next July. It Is bnt a trifle, to be sure—
five cents a quarter, or twenty oents a year,
hot it subjeets many to inconvenience, and is a
tax on the oironletlon of local intelligence. The
cironmatanoe of its imposition makes it an out
rage on the poople. Congress took this mean
revenge for being obliged to repeal the frsnking
privilege, aud ajierwsrd, “to make all things
even" the members voted themselves $5 000
beck pr.y, and increased their salary $2 500 for
the future. This postage law cannot atand
agstnet the indignant protest of the people—and
will be sore to tie repealed at the next session
of Congress. We wonld therefore advise oar
subscribers not to pay more than six months
postage, ten oents, in advance, because we be
lieve the law will be repealed before the expira
tion of that time.
Between ita beck pay iniquity and the spite
ful raid made upon newspapers, which are the
chief media of intelligence and information in
the conntry, tho last infamous Congress bids
fair to btve a warm timo of it. We shall see if
the oombined power of the press is not able to
squelch this miserable conglomeration of inter
ested law givers, whose solo mission, it ap
pear*, was to feathor their own neats and
oripplo the progress, material and intellectual
of their constituents. Already the meroileea
application of tho “whip of email oorda” In
editorial bands, has brought back into the
treasury near two hundred thousand dollars of
conscience money from these Federal harpies,
and more may be expected. The chief managers
of the Credit Mobiiier, too, hare aotnally died
under the ca>t!gation of printer’s ink, and it ia
not too much to assert that the special legiala
tloo against ths press will nndonblledly be re-
pealed at an early day of ths next session.
It wonld be well for these sapient salons to
rsfieot that the newspapers will have a word to
■ay when the question of re-eleotion to their
seata is mooted again. This Ux waa Intended
as a punishment to the prees for ita indepen
dence in daring to oppose congressional trends
and spallations. Bat the people will have it to
pey, and they will not be alow to dieeera the
fact and act accordingly. The “Democrat”
also addresses these brief words to its ex
changes:
To Oca Exchanges.—The payment of post
age 03 exchanges, after the 1st of Jnly, will

Tha Lsalelaaa Dirt Esters-How the
Negroes Surrender.
The negro organ at New Orleans, the “Be-
pnbliean," accepts the Beauregard k Oo, “New
Departure" with the meet contemptuous indif
ference. It calls the whites who took part In
tha moating “new converts, gives them a tolar-
able oool reoeption, and thinks they should bo
kept on their good behavior and on tho anxious
bench for a while, and fn tho mean time to be
especially watched by the colored folks to see if
they are quite sincere and trustworthy—remind
ing the darkies aforesaid how, in the past, these
men have enslaved and driven, and worked and
murdered them. Each is the reception given to
Beauregard and hia friends by the negroes.
We are heartily glad to roe the negroes show
ing such oontempt for these creatures. Wa
think they estimate them exactly at their true
vaine and we trust they will watch them very
closely. If they do not the dirt eaters may go
back on them just as sndlen'y and basely as
they have on tbe whites.
How this sickening spectacle is regarded at
the North may be jodged from the following
from the New York Son, which says, and with
much truth:
Giving the negroes a fall half of all the publio
offioes in Louisiana will not be sure to restore
prosperity to that State, or to condnoe to better
relettone between the races Toe people there
may be divided into two classes, those who pey
taxes, own property, and have a material inter-
est in the prosperity of the commonwealth, and
those who neither own property nor pay taxes.
The first class is composed almost entirely of
whites. To these may ba added a few well ed
ucated colored men, mostly to be fonnd in New
Orleans. Tbe seoond class includes nearly the
whole of the negro population, and it is by the
votes of this class, aided by interference from
Washington, that a gang of thieves have been
enabled to plunder the State withont mercy.
To snppoee that giving the representatives of
this class more power wonld better matters in
any respeot is folly.
. What the people of that State want in order
to bring abont a retnm of prosperity, and what
they have a right to, iatheunreatricted exerolse
of self government. Louisiana ia to-day re
habilitated in all the rights and prerogatives
which belonged to her previous to the rebellion,
and there is no reason why ehe should either
bargain with negroes abont the division of offi
ces, or ask the grsoious permission of President
Grant In order to be permitted to choose her
own rulers. It is true that her legally consti
tuted government has been overthrown by
military fores; bat that has been done in defi-
anoe of law to mainly advance the sokemee of a
disreputable member of the President’s family.
But for this outrage a d«y of reckoning is to
oome, and it will oome surely. In ths mean
time it is pleasant to see white and oolored citi-
zsns adopting resolutions of mntnal esteem,
and it fs to be hoped that these proceedings
may be productive of good results. Bat mil
lions of sach resolutions wonld not restore to
Lonisieoa one of tbe rights whioh have been
torn from her by tbe insolent hand of unlawful
power.

Ravage* of the Cholera on Saturday
at Naahvtlle.
We find the following in the Atlanta Constitu
tion, of Snnday:
Nashtiixx, June 21. 1873.—We had a very
heavy thunder storm last night, and all pre
dated that it wonld have a good effect. The
weather of yesterday was extremely hot, and to
that is attributed the fearful ravages of the
disease. _
Dp to 5 r. n there were eighty-two deaths
Tbe total number for the day must have been
nearly ninety, of which a large proportion were
negroes. J. K. Jenkins, jailer, was one of tha
dead. W. H Nanoe, the well known insnranoe
agent, was another victim of the fell disease.
The weather is very hot again this morning
Tho railroad aud telegraph offioes will probably
be moved out to points on the lines. Half the
population has already left the city. By cam
paring the mortality with tbe reduoed number
in the eity, yon will better appreciate tbe terri
ble nature of tbe disease. Hearses con every
where be eeen oarry ing away tbe deed. This is
noplaoe for the timid and even the stoat-hearted
ahndder at the scenes of death.
Jun 21, 12:S0 P si —The disaase is raging
fearfully to day; mortality unprecedented. The
bravest are losing heart.
Jcxk 21,6 p. si.—At 4 o’clock the deaths num
bered between 40 and 50. It is difficult to as
certain the exaot number. It is believed that
tha deaths of to-day will exoeed 100. Wild ru
mor* are afloat. People are fleeing in every cU-
rection, and no men remains except at immi
nent peril of his life. The scenes of this day
an appalling and beyond description.
Ths Beeches Txocble.—The fondling folly
of some of Mr. Beecher’s female adorers, un
opposed by a compensation of wisdom on bis
part, *»■« much to answer for all this misery aud
shame. The uncharitable and uncomprehend
ing world withont cannot understand certain
grades of loving familiarity, however inuooent
in fact, on any other theory than that of crim
inal intimacy. Many women, it is certain, have
bean madly in love with Mr. Beecher. I know
of one. Many others have lavished upon him
the fondest idolatry, as a sort of god, eager to
h-b th 6 j,em of his garment, and when favored
with actual intimtey—we ali know what such
woman will do. There is some foundation for
the Story that Mr. Beecher had made a confes-
eion and asked forgiveness. A friend of mine
has seen the letters. But there was nothing of
a criminal nature confessed; only just such in
discretions as I have indicated. — iij'.ti -ore

“A Suez Cecp.”—The Athens (Tcnn.) Post
has the following encouraging report from that
section:
Parties who travel much in East Tennessee
will not fail to notice the cumber of healthy
looking children to be met with at almost every
house. Wheat may fail, corn and potatoes,
and the fruit crop, all those may fail occasion
ally, bnt in respect to children East Tennessee
never fliokerm. There is, perhaps, no country
in the world where the efforts of the husband-
mw in that department of Industry are more
booBtoonsly or more surely rewarded.

workmen to the ground, twenty or twenty-five

had an ankle broken and another oolored wi“ t
named Hill, was seriously injured. Two others,
whose names we did not beer, were slightly in

Atlanta Bubol&bs on the Bampaoe. The
Atlanta Constitution of Sunday has the follow-
lag:
We hare to recount to onr readers, this morn
ing, yet another attempt at burglary, whioh. for
the boldness of the attempt, and the coolness of
tbe would-be bnrgiar. Is jnst a little ahead of
anything of tbe kind we have ever before pub
lished The attempt was made upon tha well
known residence of Captain Willis Grant, on
old Petohtree street, and the time wa* half,
past three o’clock. Thursday morning. The bed
room ooenpled by Ospiain Grant and hia aoeom-
pllahed lady, ia situated upon tbe first floor,
just back of tbe parlor. One of ita windows
opens upon Line street, and is sbout four test
from the ground. Below is a grass plat. Tbe
window is proteoted with wooden shatters, fas
tened upon the inside with the ordinary clasps.
On the morning in question, at about half-past
three o'olook, Mrs. Grant waa awakened from
her slumbers by a painful fooling of uneasiness
that something was wrong. This feeling be
came so intense that she awakened her husband,
speaking very low. and tailing him to keep
awake while she crossed the room. He told
her be wonld, turned over, and went to sleep
again. As Mrs. Grant was about to rise
she looked towards the window, snd saw
tbe blinds opened and the figaes of • men
standing fall against the sill jnst abont to spring
into the room. With wonderful ooolness she
aronsed her husband again, telling him softly to
look at the window. He saw the man, bnt un
fortunately altered sn exclamation and the ras
cal disappeared. Both then sprang from the
bed and went to the window. Looking out they
sew the scoundrel standing inside thu fenoe
jnst at tha corner of the boose. Oapt. Grant
called slond to his negro to bring his gun, bnt
Mrs. Grant sprang to the bureau, seized a re
volver lying therp, and instantly returning to
tbe window she fired twioe at the bnrgltir as he
waa making track dawn the street. The noise
aronsed tho neighbors, and nude the rogue take
strides about five feet in length. Had the pis
tol been at the head of the bed, where it will
hereafter be kept, somebody would have got
hnrL The man was tracked the next morning
some distance through the mad, but has not yet
been caught, although C ipt. Grant the next day
offered two hundred and fifty dollars for his ap
prehension. This is the seoond time a burglary
has been attempted upon this home. The first
attempt, about two years ago, was more success
ful, and the Grants lost forty-two pieocs of val
uable silver, taken from their dining roc m, and
whioh has never been recovered.

F. Longstreet, of Efficghim oonnty, a relative
of the author of “Georgia Scenes,” and before
the war one of the most prominent and sue-
eessfol planters in the State.
The following is from the Savannah News, of
Saturday:
The Tcbicco Cass—Mcnticn hag been made
in the News of the arrest of a well known mer
chant of this city, on ibe charge oj selling leaf
tobaoco without a license, and of his being
bound ovc-r for appeartnoe at a preliminary
examination to take plaes to day. As ths osse
is one of considerable interest, we propose to
give a few particulars ooDOerning it, which we
feel will in nowise operate to the disadvantage
of the parties oenceroed in it. It spposrs that
tbe defendant in this ease, who is not a retail
dealer in tobacco, disposed of aomn twenty
ponnds to a gendeman living on the Central
Railroad some distanoe from the oity, at the
original price, as a favor. The tobaooo was not
sold for profit, and the renntation of the gentle
man in question is sufficient to protect him
from the snspicion that there was soy intent to
violate the law. The gentleman who proonred
the tobacco, in connection with a friend, desired
it for the purpose of having some cigars
manufactured for their own use. A cigar
maker by the name of Aaron P?yser, living
near Macon, waa employed to do this work.
Peyser subsequently got into trouble, we under
stand. in connection with another matter. He
then it appears (whether for the purpose of mak
ing something by the operation, or from some
other objsot.) posted np to Haoon, and in
formed tbe D S. Revenne officer at that point,
of the sale of the tobaooo, of the eireomatanoea
in oonoeotion with whioh it appears be was
familiar.* The met ter was at onoe reported to
the supervisor at Raleigh, who sent orders here
to the revenue oollector to cause the arrest of
the merchant. This, briefly, represents tho
whole case. Tha penalty for an infraction of
the law ia very heavy, aa the party gniity
thereof, upon oon viction, is required to tike ont
a license for the year, which is $500, pay a fine
of $500, and suffer imprisonment. The law,
we understand, is very strict, and prohibits
any one. otber than a licensed dealer, even
giving away leaf tobacco. There are circum
stances connected with the case, however,
which npon investigation will entirely exonerate
the defendant of any purpoee or imtention to
evade the law; if not before a oonrt of inquiry,
such as that held by U. S. Commissioner
Wayne, at least before ahigber tribunal.

From the Belma Times 1
We bad hoped never to have been again called
npon to chronicle anything in reference to the
management of the above road of an unpleasant
character; bnt tbe nuisance oontinuea, and
there seems to be no chsnoe for abating it- Not
Ioog ainoe, Stanton had the road and was going
to make it first-class, and rnn it no schedule
time, etc , all of which earned general rvjoidng
slang ths line of the road and throughout the
State. Now we have tbe statement in a relia
ble shape that Stanton has had to give 19; that
he and all hia relations, with theta fat salaries,
have deserted or been kicked ont, and that the
receivers of Judge Bradley's oonrt have plaoed
tbe management in the hands of Mr. Fitch,
formerly an employe of the Mobile aud Ohio
railroad. The trains are a till running on the
Northern division of ths road, from Chatta
nooga to Tuscaloosa. Bat there are no trains
running between Ttueslooaa and Meridian.
This road has been an ontrage npon tbe people
of this State, not only aa a swindle and absorber
of tbeir money, paid in taxes, bnt it has fur
nished to them no medium of travel, with any
degree of regularity, sinee it waa started. We
have no ides when ita legal status will ever be
determined, for it has been wrapped np in legal
complications until it will take the best legal
talent for long years to oome to wind np and
whip ont the endless forms of litigation with
which it will be attacked.

The Hatan Bar Dinner.
Editore Telegraph and Jfeaienger : A writer
under the non de plnme of “Hoosier” in the
Atlanta Herald of Saturday morning last, in
oommanting on tha occurrence*! at the reoent
dinner of the Haoon Bar, makes such a oarrica-
tnre of the affair as to render it proper that tbe
ocenrresoas at that dinner should be truly
stated.
And first, as to the getting np of the dinner.
The Haoon Bar eoncluded that in accordanoe
with tb6ir usage, they wonld have theta dinner
to oome off some day daring the present term of
Bibb Superior Oonrt, snd sb Judge Hill had
held the aeoond week of Washington Superior
Oonrt for Jndge Johnson, (aud he waa to re-
turn the favor during the term.) they wonld
have this dinner at such time as Jndge Johnson
should be here. It is proper farther to say that
Jndge Johnson stands deservedly high aa a
jurist with the Macon Bar, he having held a
portion of a term here during hia previous ad
ministration, and in a manner eminently satis
factory to them. The Judge came and the
dinner took place, as is already known. The
Governor of Georgia aod the Judges of the
Bupreme Oonrt, as well as Jndgi Johnson and
others, were invited gnesta. There is no doubt
but ths Bar intended to do honor to Judge
Johnson, as th^y did to the other distinguiite i
guests invited. Bit it is a great mi-tike, I
apprehend, to aoppoee that the dinner waa got
ten np for bis benefit exclusively.
But it no happened that the Governor aod
Judges of tbe Supreme Cinrt did not come, and
the knrden fell on Jndge Johnson, as the most
distinguished of the invited guests present, to
do tha honors of the occasion, and be discharged
the duty right worthily. Judge Johnson had
been, and then was, a distinguished Circuit
Judge (a trust of no small honor when, as in hia
case, worthily discharged.) He had filled the
Executive chair with distinction in the happier
days of the republic, and he was act decant can
didate for the Vice Presidency on the ticket
with Stephen A Dooglas in 1260. Of coursa
it was expected that he wonld be oalled on for
reminiscences (as he was) in each of these de
partments.
“Hoosier” oomo’.tins that, inasmuch as his
friend, Governor Smith, had been an invited
guest, his interests should have been looked
after more carefaliy by tbe oompnny. I do not
see it in this light The moet that a guest in
vited and dec’ining to oome (withont ixinae)
can claim, is to be put on an equal footing with
one not Invited. If he is providentially absent,
and mikes it known to the committee, they
should oommnnioate it to the oompany, in or
der among other things, that the invited guests
present msy know who were to have been their
jonored colleagues. Tha report is, that the
committee received no communication from
Governor Smith in response to tbeir invitation.
I happen to know that no each communication
made in the presence or hearing of Judge
Johnson while at tbe table.
“Hoosier” also complains that Jadge John
son's speeob on that oocasion wa* j-jane and
oommonplaoe Tbia is a mistake. The speech
was a magnificent one—every way worthy of
the distinguished orator. Jadge Johnson does
not and never did belong to the j-juue or 00m-
monpiaoe fraternities. But it m ly be inferred
that be allnded to the speech as reported by the
local of th0Txlzgrim If so, and the oriticism
should be considered j net, I bave this to say in
extennatioo, that I know of no one who had
a better right to be jejane and oommonplaoe
than had tho looal at the time and piaoe and un
der the circumstance- in whioh he penned the
report. I know of bat ods plea to the oontrary,
and that is his rsahnesa and temerity at the time
and under tbe oiroumatano-s in attempting to
write it out at all may ent him nff from all consid
erations of olemcnoy; and here I may say en
pastant, it the Bar shall give another dinner
to whioh tha fonrtb estate shall be invited, I
hope it will be nuders'ood that it shall not be
expected that the proceedings shall come ont in
tbe next morning’s issue of their papers. A
good dinner requires time for its digestion, and
mins hosts cf the Brown House give good din
ners on sit such occasions.
Bat I understand, Messrs. Editors, entre nous
and tub rosa that the looal did not dis
tinctly hear the remuk cf Judge Johnson com
plained of, (sitting remote from the speaker)
bnt gathered it frem a friend. B) this as it msy,
the words as reported were not spoken I hap
pen toknnw thalthe words (“by or wi>h" “false
promises,”) ware not nsed by Judge Johnson on
that ocoasion. Nothing was said by him abont
promises of anv sort. Thi. *™ » traro mjtn.
“Hoosier” farther complains that a young
gentleman from Atlanta then presont toasted.
Judge Johnson as a suitable person for
onr next Governor. This is true, and was, - j
think a fortunate incident of the occasion. It
oalled the Jadge to the floor in a second speech,'
shorter, and if not bettor, at least more thrilling
than the first, and in my opinion, farmoro com
plimentary to Gov. Smith than the first was in
disparagement, e7en as reported. Jadge John
son stated among other things in snb-tance (for
I will not attempt to give his exact language,)
that he thanked his yonng friend for the com
pliment. and his young friends around him for
the kind manner the toast had boeu received by
them, (it had been heartily cheered by them.)
but said it ocuid net be. That he was now an
old man, that he had onoe been ambitions,
bnt had outlived the passion, and that the des
tinies ot Georgia wera and must continue
to be in tbe keeping of a younger generation,
and, in conclusion, rang ont npon tho audienoe
a thsnksgiving to God in a voice whose clarion
tones thrilled the nerves of every hearer, that
Georgia—his own beloved Georgia—now re
deemed and disenthralled, no lenger had need
for his services. It is unnecessary for me to
remind yonr readers of what we hII remember.
How it was the preeminently good fortune of
Gov. Smith to play bo very distinguished a role
in bringing abont that disentbrallment. The
remembrance of tho pilot at the helm, who,
through the perilous breakers brings the ship
safely snd gallantly into po:t, surely will and
ought to outlive aud outweigh tbe minor disap
pointments as to who he may have selected to
man a brace or fnrl a sail.
I have tbns given yonr readers a reminiscence
of a portion of the actual occurrences cf the oc
oasion referred to, In order that justioe may bs
done to the gentlemen getting np the entertain
ment, as well ss to those invited guests present
and absent Pax.

Grab.
Special to ths Cincinnati Gazette.)
Washikotos, Jane 18.—The following is a
complete list of the members of the House of
Representatives 2*ho, np to date, have eov-
ered their back pay into the Treasury. Quite
a number of names of members who have been
generally oredited with returning the money do
not appear on the books of the Treasury. Tbe
number is thirty-two, making with the Senators
already telegraphed the total of forty-Bix Con
gressmen who have made repayments.
Ths members of the Honse are: Barber, of
Wiaoonain; Cox, of New York; Crebs, of Illi
nois; Cobnrn, of Indians; Colton, of Iowa;
Frey, of Maine; Finkelnbnrg, of Missonri;
Farwell, of Hlioois; Garfield, of Ohio; Hill, of

Starkweather, of Connectiont; Sessions, of
New York; Sawyer, of Wisoonsin; Townsend,
of Pennsylvania; Upson, of Ohio; Waldron, of
Michigan; Williard, of Vermont; Wheeler, cf
New York. Of these 25 are Republicans and 7
Democrats. The House, when the salary bill
was passed, was composed of 127 Republicans
and 113 Liberals and Democrats. There have
been no returns from the Sooth from either
Senators or Representatives. None of tbe
delegates from the Territories or from the
District of Colombia have responded. Maine
snd Wisoonsin are the only States where a
majority of the Representatives haTe sent back
their money. Mr. Peters is tbe only one retain
ing it from Maine, snd Mr. Eidridge the only
om from Wisoonsin. Only sixteen States bave
been heard from, either through Senators or
Representatives. The Treasury Department
has no record of those Congressmen who are
said to have founded or assisted orphan asylums,
high schools, colleges, and churches with theta
share of the spoils.
Home made Bugar and Syrup.
A committee appointed to examine certain
specimens of sugar made in Alabama and Mis
sissippi make a most gratifying report through
the Mobile Register. After giving the names
and the competitors and the quality of theta
samples tbe committee says:
Wa note with pleasure the spirit snd inter
est manifested by the above named competi
tors in this new Branch of agriculture, and
have no danbt that in a few years Alabama and
Mississippi raised sugars snd syrnpe will com
pare favorably with the specimens exhibited
from any quarter atom agricultural meetings.
And in this connection we oannot refrain from
saying that from one garden within four miles
of Mobile eleven thousand dollars worth of veg
etables have been shipped to Western cities
since the 1st of March last, and doubtless com
paratively large shipments have been made
from other gardens. We have seen daily large
quantities of fruits and vegetables marked to
Chicago, 8t. Louie, Cincinnati and Lnuisrille,
aod it is estimated that of potatoes alone folly
two thousand barrels have been shipped by om
railroads within the last thirty days.

in Particular—ITa Thinks Grant Ought
*0be Re-elected Again, aod that lbeSouth
will Support Him—He Predicts n Radical
Defeat In the Virginia Election—A South
ern Groat Party Foreshadowed.
We find the following in the Herald of Fri
day .-
BiamoXD, Ya., June 19, 1873.
In an interview on Virginia affairs, the atti
tude of the administration thereto and political
p rot peels generally, Colonel John L. Mosby
says:
“The issues that formerly divided the Vir
ginia people from the Republican party were
those growing out of the reconstruction meas
ures. Last year the Virginia people agreed to
make no farther opposition to these measures,
and to accept all questions growing ont of them
as settled. There be’ng no lorg?r any questions
then on principles sepsralingttie Virginia peo-
pie from General Grant, it beoame a mere mat
ter of policy and expediency whether they wonld
support him or Horace Greeley. I thonght it
was the first opportunity the Sjuthern peo
ple had had to be restored to their proper
relation and influence with the Federal admin
istration. In other words, I said the Southern
statesmen ought to avail themselves of the op
portunity and support General Grant for re-
eleotion, and thereby acquire influence and con
trol over his administration. That waa the only
way I ssw of displacing the carpet-bag crow
that represented tbe government in the South
ern States I think that events have demon
Btrated that I was right. Gen. Grant has oer-
tainly sooorded to me as mcch consideration
and influence as any man could have a right to
expect. I never have had a conversation with
General Grant but that I have been more im
pressed with the folly aod infatuated palioy of
tho senseless war that has been kept np on his
administration. I know it is tbe disposition of
General Grant to do everything in his power for
the relief of the Southern people if Sonthern
politicians will allow him to do it. The men
who control the polioy of the conservative party
combine with extreme radicals to keep the
Southern people arrayed against Gen. Grant
As long as this oourse is pursued the carpet bag
crew who profess to support the administration
get all of tbe federal patronage. This is the
snatenanoe, the anpnort, of the cirpet bHg
party in the South. Deprived of that, it would
die to-morrow. I can’t Bee why it is that
after the Sonthern people have accepted as
final and irretrievable all the issuta that onoe
divided them from Gen. Grant, they can’t now
anpport the administration. If they wonld do
so the present carpet bag and negro organiza
tions wonld disband. I admit, as every South
ern man must admit, the gross wrongs and
outrages that have been perpetrated npon the
Sonthern people. I am no apologist for them;
bnt neither parly proposes any atonement or
any indemnity for the past. I propose, at least,
to give seonrity for the future by an alliance
between the Southern people and Gen. Grant’s
administration. If the Southern people expeot
any relief it must be through Gen- Grant, and
they will not got it by keeping np war on him.
snd whst I consider an UDjust war. I told
Gen. Grant, a few days ago, that the Badioal
party of Virginia didn’t want the respectable
portion of Virginia to support the udministra-
tion, for they knew that as soon as that was
done their day would be over. They want to
enj-iy a monopoly of the public plunder. The
fewer there are in the party in Virginia tho
larger the distributive shsro will be.”
Of G«n. Grant Ooi. Mo-by says: “I think he
is tbe ablest man in America I think he would
be more usefnl to the Southern people as a
friend than an enemy, as they are trying to
make him. I believe be has the kindest feeling
towards tbe Southern poople, and enpeoially to
wards the Confederate soldiers. I have never
heard an expression from him, as much S3 I
have aeon of him, indicating that ke had any
leas respect for a Confederate than a Union
soldier. Grant has all the instincts of tho
Boldier.”
When asked if he would take an active part
in the ensuing S’ate canvass, he Baid: “I have
no expectation of doing so. I tun tired of what
I have had to do with po'itics, and intend de
voting myself to my profession until the noit
presidential campaign, when I expect to take
the stump in favor of General Grant’s re-eleo
tion for the third term, in order to give the
Sonthern people tho opportunity of retrieving
the blunder they made in the last campaign.”
He thought that either Hon. James Lyons or
Governor Wise would be most acceptable to
the administration as candidate for Governor,
and if the people of Virginia wonld eleot either
of them it would be the quickost way to bridge
over tbo “bloody chasm.” He believed he had
•onada tho President more friends by tbe ap
pointments made at hia (Mr. Mosby’e) request
than all tho radicals wonld have made him in a
hundred years, and ho docs not think that any
man nominated by the Republican Convention
at Lynohbnrg can be elected.
Tha interview oonoluied with the following
question and answer:
Correspondent—The newspapers are charging
fhJt Gen. Grant is trying to collect aronnd him
prominent Federal and Confederate officers for
the purpose of establishing an imperial govern
ment or to secure his re-eleotion for tho third
term. What is your opinion abont it ?
Colonel Mosby—I don’t think that General
Grant has any such ambitions designs; bnt if
he desired re-eleotion and makes as good a
President as I think he will. I’ll support him
for a third term. Not only that, I think all the
Sonthern people will support him.
