Hon. A. II. Stephens na<l His
Reviewers.
Editor! Telegraph and Messenger
ii not tho object of this articl
public'y exj.r.-sii in; por.-ona.! eateeem
which U well known to him— to promote
my aim or ambition lie may cheriah ; or
to vindient.' Mr. St«*phena merely fur hi*
lake. It is not the object hen- to expreis
any personal Opposition to him—to
him S* a Repiv-.ntative, or to ob«tract
any plan*, public or private, which h
may bav.- in view. Disclaiming any such
motive, I ftTOsr the purpoio- to treat tho
■abject, as under.sto.,1 by me, in the it
terest of onr j>oopU-, and in doing *o
shall Ntlt, on tho one hand, to avoid
being unfair, ami, on the other, being un
faithful. If Mr Stephen* is the patriot
ha ha* l»-en i teemed, ho will not
drum tho purpose hero expresaed, to up
hold tlie trio-intt-rest of his people. If
be is the lover of candor and truth he has
ever profet -d to 1-e, and most of hi
quaintonce believe him to be, he will not
hastily censure tins attempt to critici:
hi* action as a Representative.
The diameter os well as tho wUdow of
our rej»n- '•ntstivt* men forma no ineon
tiderublc part of tho national wealth
part not to be dissipated or marred with
out mat rial hurt to the whole people.
And in this < onui - tion I do not intend to
include all men whom fortuitous circum-
ittanoo* have places 1 in high official sta
tion. There are many weak and de
praved inen brought to tho surface who
hirea aickly an 1 .['Iwmcral political lif.
and pact away into merited oblivion
Tho li-t of men of whom I speak em
brace* but few. We all know how the
puhlie heart of tho South was lacerated
and bl»*d when tho public mind settled
down in t)i*• conviction that Longntreet
had, for place and gain, turned his back
upon hla brave com rod* *8; and the public
right hand drew a huge block mark
•rroM tho halo Ills prowess and genius
had caused to envelop him.
Wo all can well remember the burning
word* <-f Beauregard in 1801—hurling
from before tho Confederate people tho
(also imputation that he wa* seeking
presidential lienors—"Office-holding is the
kunut of civic honors, and office-seeking
the meanest of civic occupations." Could
any of us at that time liavo imagined
that he would over ao long for tho flesh
yds of federal place and power, as to il
lustrate in himself his own caustic defi
nition by turning liis back upon tho peo-
plo of Louisiana f What if Joo Johnston
should forget that ho is Southern; that
hi* world-wide fame rose like magic from
the red tido of Southern blood, and is
stereotyped in tho firo of Southern affoc-
tian ? Can any man imagino the depth of
tho wound or the agony of tho popular
grief, and tho permanent injury to South
ern character, if by any means dishonor
had befallon General Leo ?
Tho <amo is true in the political de
partment. Wo can't afford for Jefferson
Davis to provo before be dies that public
confidence in tbo stability of his charac
ter, the sincerity of his heart and tho pu
rity of his patriotism was misplaced.
The whole people would suffer in his
downfall. Wo liavo living other repre
sentative civilians, among whom I class
the distinguished Georgian whose name
head* this article. And wo repeat of
him that wo cannot afford that he should
call down upon himself, from truthful
bps and with just cause, tho reproaches
of those who havo delighted to honor
him. I say just cause, such os would bo
the truth of the charges now commonly
heard, that he has taken a departure; and
tend* directly to* affiliation with and
championship of President Grant, and his
administration.
It is easier to uiako such charges than
to defend him against thorn, for tho rea
son apparent to many not socking ex
cuses for him, tlint he has often sooined
to travel out of his path to minister to
the vanity of the rating Federal Despot.
11c has his own head and heart, and
must abide the sequences of his action. Ho
has hoard the thunder of opposition and
seen tho lightning flash of party hatred.
He lias tasted tho sweets and received
the rewards of public npproral. If ho
tow the wind there is no man with a
steadier norvo to roap the whirlwind.
And if it only affected him individually,
ter matter would bo unimportant to tho
great body of tho peoplo.
Hut as a representative man placod in
high station at his own request, ho has
no prerogative to blur the beauty of
Southern character, lacerate tho South
ern heart and load his own peoplo with
shamo, by bravely defying tho public,
judgment, ignoring the publio will, and
outraging public taste and Rcntiment—
ail of which lie would effectually do by
d citing that of his section and friends
and going to the camp of their political
Lies, and there, seeking monocles for his
limbs; and in his old ago to consecrate
himself to the corruptions of tho Jicpub-
li-'.m party nnd the tyranny of a central
ist and despot.
We. the people of Georgia and the
South, cannot afford the sacrifice in pub
lic worth that would follow such stupen
dous folly as this on his part. We can’t
afford to’believe that such charges have
any tenable reasons for their support.
It may lie that the Southern pros* has
a delicate responsibility in reference to
him in view of his intractable course, and
manife t temper. It will not do to allow
him to go, much less to drive him to the
loathsome embrace and confine him to
the political fellowship of Southern rene
gades mul Northern fanatics. We suf
fered enough from such a courso in the
loss of ox-Governor Brown. And we
came near sacrificing Mr. Hill, one of tho
most gifted men in intellect which the
State, in this age, lias produced—whose
errors, like those of Mr. Stephens, were
too promptly referred to a disposition to
betray tlio So ith nnd to form an alliance
with her tmducers and oppressors. Mr.
Stephens is no traitor to friend or section,
and could not be while Providence spores
his brain and heart- Forvi.ll my hypoth
esis of his action and his motives implies
hi perfect sanity, and of course would
yield to satisfactory evidonee that disease
hi 1 involve! his brain, and that the light
of his reason were flickering. In such an
event os that we would hope his friends
have not so far lost influence with him as
to be nnable to dissuade him from hold
ing public office. I repent—it weie im-
possiMe for Alexander Hamilton Steph
ens. war. to betray any trust, wilfully.
liis charity embraces all mankind
when appealed to through the approved
channels of approach. His resentment,
vh.cn acting on what liis noble nature re
gards as just cause of offence, knows no
limits in tho objects of its assaults. It
involves men, parties and governments,
and no limit in its aims short of an un-
ronJitbnal recognition and correction of
ku cause of complaint. IN hen acting
under resentment, his reason roams over
different fields and his conclusions are
•Maooad with a philosophy just ao con
tentious. but greatly differing from the
--'Jib-like gentleness of Mr. Stephens un
disturbed. Among the just causes of his
n-'- ntment is the disregard of his advice
and counsel.
There is no man living to whom an in
dividual, or party, or government could
apply for advice—with greater assurance
of getting it—founded on learning, no
tion, and enlarged understanding, and
1 vomnted by unselfish devotion to truth.
But there is scarcely a graver offense than
io refuse to take and act upon his advice.
I here is scarcely a limit to hi* resent-
ment to such an offense. This is tho key
unlock the mystery of his extraordinary
ju-'hts un man; public occasions of his
hfe. And it Is not a fault that lies at the
d «r of his sincerity. It is organic and
®-Strolling. Liko all men of extraordi-
um-y genius, he is and ever has been, a
i 31 **_of extraordinary weaknesses, which,
5* his case, implies no want of sincerity or
fidelity.
It is uot every error of judgment that
|bould brand a statesman with Infidelity
!° his country, loved as this has ever
■s'vn by bitn. If erratic action on impor
tant publio matters bad been conclusive
evidence of »asonify, there ore at ’oast a
•core of occasion* in hie long public life
when he could have been caged in the
asylum. Mr. Stephens combine,i two
very rare faculties. One is to tclieve
without a doubt that his opinion uml
judgment are right. The other is to
carry out his convictions of duty at the
time. He has a quality of mind still more
rare than either of these, if indeed he is
not it* sule proprietor. It is) his nettled
conviction that, upon all matters of State,
and relating to political parties, he never
was mistaken, and never committed an
error. This is the affirmative he has he
roically, and with marvelous show of suc
cess, maintained withjtongue and pen, in
public and private, for years past. And
he has been, while frequently wreng, so
often right as to efford a reasonable ex
cuse for this extraordinary delusion.
If all he says of the notable "salary
grub” were literally correct, it is some
what difficult to perceive any satisfactory
reason, strictly in harmony with his
fidelity to his section and party, and his
opjxwition to the Republican part;;, why
he should have leaped to the front and
signalized his re-entry upon the arena of
Congressional debate, by a set defence of
that measure—unless, indeed, lie luid such
n caroethes lorpiemU as made delay in.suf-
for.it-le, and him, then and ther - t'nrs-
prestihle. For no doubt every mac ercopt
Mr. Stephens lias seen in the proceedings
of the House many questions more suita
ble for a great statesman to invite the
criticisms of tho nation to himself upon
than the defence of this generally de
nounced public villainy.
Not only is tho subject i)I-chosc:i—but
tho argument volunteered in defence of
tho odious measure, is untenable. Tho
gravamen of his speech is that 'die act
granting an increase of pay to tho mem
bers of Congress—and making it retroac
tive—is constitutional.
If ho had said such an act wn3 not lit
erally prohibited by the organic law, it
ould have been true. But interpreted
by the spirit and intent of tho Constitu
tion, his conclusion is not correct. It is
true, there is no direct prohibition in ex
press words, against such an act. Butin
the samo section of tho Constitution that
requires compensation to be paid out of
the Treasury of tlio United States to
members of Congress (Art. 1, See. G),
also prohibits them " to Iss appointed,
during the time for which they were
elected, to any civil office, under tlio au
thority of the United States, which shall
have been created, or tho emoluments
whereof shall have been increased dur
ing such time,” evidently intending to
cut off all temptation of members to
create offices or to enlarge salaries by
their own votes, to promoto their own
personal gain. Such grossness, ns that
now under review, was perhaps not an
ticipated, and therefore, not expressly
provided against. Still there is enough
expressed to guide us to a safe conclu
sion. Tho words of tlio Constitution
are:
The Senators and Representatives
shall receivo a compensation for their
services, to he ascertained by law, and
paid out of tho Treasury of tho United
States.”
To ascertain, as understood and used by
the framers of the Constitution, was an
expressivo phrase, and had os distinct a
meaning as any nsed in tho instru ment.
It meant to make certain, to fir, to estab
lish.
Will Mr. Stephens contend that because
there is no literal prohibition, the pres
ent Congress may legally ascertain by law
the rate of his compensation for the fif
teen years—from 1843 to 1868—idding
$3,000 a year, making $16,000, and legally
cause that sum paid him now, out of the
United States treasury? Why no;? Be
cause tho rato of his compensation was
at tho time ascertained by law. Ho served
tho country at that rate, received com
pensation at that rate, and so tho matter
ended. Would it not bon corrupt grab,
if thcro wero men onough in this Con
gress who had served in any previous
Congress, to pass a law to ascertain the
rato of their compensation for their past
sorvices? Why not? Tho' Constitution
no where says, in words, that such a thing
shall not bo done.
Suppose this Congress should seek by
law to ascertain the compensation due
the member's of the last Congress and fix
it at $1,000—requiring the members to
pay back all they had received above
that sum ? Would it be right ? Why
not ? Is there any restriction on tho
power to diminish that does not apply
to tho power to increase f Tho an
swer is, that they entered Congress,
served and received their compensa
tion at rates ascertained by law, and
the contract was executed and tho matter
ended.
So with tho salary grabbers of this Con
gress. They entered, served, and re
ceived their compensation at rates ascer
tained by law, and when they went back
and added to their salaries already ac
crued and received they violated tho
spirit of tho organic law, nnd outraged
the public sense of justice. And Mr,
Stephens, in liis attempt to defend^ it,
has, in his own h”morous language, sim
ply made a slipjxinre.

From a prominent gentleman and resident o
Cincinnati, O., for tho jcist forty years well known
to tho book publisher* throughout tbo United
States . Xew Nosy. October 11,1S7S.
Dr. Rad way: Dear Sir—1 am induced by a
sense of duty to the suffering to make a brief state
ment of the’working of vour medicine on myself.
For several yeare I had boon affected with some
trouble in the bladder and urinary organs, which
some twelve months ago culminated in a most ter
ribly afflicting disease, which the physicians al
said was a spasmodic stricture in trie ureta, as
also inflammation of the kidneys and bladder, and
gave it as their opinion that my use—73 yrarer—
Would prevent my ever getting radicallv cured. I
had tried a number of physicians, nnu had taken
a large quantity of medicine, both alopathic and
homcopatliic, but bad got no relief. I had rend o
aatonisuiinc curss having been made bv your rem-
edies. and *onie four months ago read a notice in
tin' Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post of a cure
haring been effected on a person whv had Iona
Ixvn suffering as I had been. I went rigi. Uni and
got some of each—vour Sarsaparillian K^solvent
Ready Relief and* Regulating Pills—and com-
menced taking them. In three da> I was greatly
relieved, and now fed as well as ever.

HANKFACTURKD BY
Langdale’s Chemical .Manure Company
(LIMITED.)
NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, ENGLAND.
Has tlie following Powerful Recommendations for Planters
It is a genuine English made Manure, tho only one in the market, and manu
factured by a company having a capital of $1,250,000, which sells ,10,000 tons annu
ally, and has tho most extensive works of the kind in Great Britain, which have
been in operation 2-t years. The Langdale, therefore, lias a good pedigree and is no
experiment.
It contains a larger proportion of chemical elements suited for the promotion
of vegetable life, and especially of potton, than any other fertilizer offered in tho
South. It is the best and safest Cotton Manure in tho market.
Tho analysis given with the Mannro when sold will ho guaranteed. There shall
be no mistake about tho genuineness of the article, nor tho good faith of tho vendors.
It is tho cheapest Manure offered, as it contains nothing but what is of use in
becoming plant-food, or by chemical action on the soil, producing the same. Tho
tost of cheapness is not tho price, hut tho actual worth of tho articlo purchased.
Low-priced Manure cannot contain efficient quantities of pure and valuable chemi
cals, which can alone give worth to a fertilizer, and bring satisfactory results. Tho
Langdale is as low in price as is consistent with tho uso of tho host ingredients, and
a fair commercial profit on its cost.
Tho employment of powerful machinery in mixing anil pulverizing the ingre
dients prepares every particle for service, and prevents trouble in using. The Lang
dale is unequalled in this respect, and impresses every one who sees it as a perfectly
manipulated Manure.
In its composition and preparation it is tho result of careful scientific research
and experiment, confirmed by practical application for a quarter of a century. It
will ho maintained at '.. present high standard, and is thus what planters have
long wanted—a thoroughly reliable and safe Manure.
