AUGUSTA, GA-.Z
—■ *
Thursday Morning, Sept. 23, 1875.
All Old Ghost Revived.
The Ohio campaign has brought out
of the grave old Ben Wade, and he is
hobbling about trying to scare the far
mers and the babes at nurse. He made
a speech the other day, in Ashtabula
county, and, having “surveyed the
whole field, in the light of history,” has
come to the conclusion that the strug
gle now going on between Allen and
Haves is one of the most important
over known. After stating that truism,
which did not require a ghost to come
from the other world to establish, he
pulled out the “bloody shirt” —loaned
by Morton for the occasion—and wav
ing it furiously, said:
Last year the contest was decided against
the old Republican party. What is the re
sult? In she Southern States eighty Con
i'; derate officers are returned to Congress.
That is a power that will control that par
ty. Now, there may be some men that will
believe that men who embarked all that
they had —life, fortune, everything—to
break up your Government, and to estab
lish anew one whose corner-stone should
b : slavery, will give up that purpose so ea
si-One fact is apparent: these men were
di etod because they did all they could to
overturn the Federal Government. Did
you, citizens of Ashtabula county, believe
when \ ou were helping to carry on the war
—when you were straining every nerve to
clothe and feed and arm’the Union army—
did you believe that the very men you were
fighting would to-day be returned to sic in
tin? councils ol the nation? What guaran
tee have you that they have abandoned
their old purposes? You will notice that
not a man of them but is a most violent ad
vocate of iniiation of the currency. Why, I
have it explained in a long letter I received
yesterday from a man well up in affairs in
that section. It is that all are inflationists,
because they want to make the currency
valueless, and then they are ready for an
other war. If they had had the same credit
during the war that wo had, do you sup
pose we could have beaten them? A war
cannot be carried on without credit, and
our superior credit enabled us to beat them.
They see now the rock on which they split,
and are anxious to bring us where they
stood with this Confederate currency.
The venerable hobgoblin may rest in
peace so far as those 80 ex-Confederates
are concerned. A more harmless set
of men, so far as breaking up the fa
bric of the Republic bequeathed us by
the Fathers, never existed. They may
strive, in the forum of reason, to re
store the Constitution and the Union
so wickedly abused by the Republican
party, but beyond this no upright man
need fear them or their works. They
may investigate many of the transac
tions of the last fifteen years, but no
honest Republican need fear the issue
of such scrutiny. And, so far as any
undue disturbing influences are con
cerned, the old Ohio scarecrow might
well be agitated if 80 non-combat
ant politicians had been sent to Con
gress instead of that many brave and
high-minded gentlemen, whose swords
have been turned into reaping hooks
for more than a decade. It is not true
that “these men w'ere elected because
they did what they could to ovei’turn
the Federal Government.” Old Thad
Stevens, Sumner, Ben Wade, Trumbull
& Cos. spared them the trouble of abol
ishing the Constitution, if such had
even been their purpose, as it was not.
The true secret of their election is that
they were the most eligible men in
their neighborhoods and it is very hard
to And a decent man in the South who
did not do all in his power to preserve
the Confederacy that the principles of
Constitutional liberty might be kept in
tact.
1 The citizens of Ashtabula county
may not have thought it possible, in
186L-’65, that these men would ever
get to Congress; but these simple souls
may prepare, as other people, in all
ages and all climes, have experienced,
to witness many more wonderful de
velopments of the whirligig of time
and the revenges of Justice. Old Mr.
Wade may try to impress the farmers
of the Western reserve of Ohio that
God Almighty intended that the world
should stand stock still for them and
their seed forever, but he and his folly
will perish together.
We are not so sure that these eighty
ex-Confederates are all inflationists.
But what if they are? Have they not
as good a right to think well of green
backs as the authors of rag-money
have to repudiate their own bantlings.
Out upon such monstrous hpocrisy!
We are happy to learn from the
frightened Benjamin that the South
would have whipped the North had her
credit been of equal power. Very few
Northern men are prepared to admit
that, and Feed Douglass says it was
not credit that overcame Secession but
negro soldiers. These disputativo doc
tors can settle that moot point to suit
themselves. Meanwhile the eighty ex-
Confederates in Congress will, within
the Union, and on the field of legisla
tion, patriotically strive to bring back
the Republic to its ancient glory and
to the people everywhere their olden
prosperity. Of course, success in such a
noble undertaking ruins Radicalism
and consigns its leaders, dead and liv
ing, to a dreadful infamy. But while
the marplots and conspirators, who
have smitten the land and fattened on
its evils, will ’behold that day as a
“sliceof Judgment,” the vast majority
of people, of all creeds, political parties
and various colors, will welcome an
era of good feeling which revives busi
ness and brings back something like a
genuine peace.
Maynard.— And now comes Horace
Maynard, Minister to Turkey, who has
lived on official pap all of his life since
he reached manhood, and squeals like
a greedy pig for more pay. The New
York Nun raps this Radical piggy over
the snout in this wise: “Just hear
him a fellow who was a schoolmaster
in East Tennessee when a thousand
dollars was a fortune, and who has
since been member of Congress with a
nominal salary of $5,000 a year. And
now he wants more than twelve thou
sand! If he is not pleased with his
pay and grandeur, Maynard ought to
resign and come home.” Probably he
wants to make hay while the Radical
sun shines.
“Broken Toys” is the title of Char
lotte Thompson’s new play.
Southern Democrats and National Con
ventions.
The New York Herald is speculating
as to the probable course of Southern
Democrats in the next National Con
vention. It is led to these reflections
by the power possessed, during the last
four years, by Southern Republicans in
moulding, shaping and driving the
Radical machine. The Herald says :
It has been a singular spectacle in Wash
ington to see a handful of men, mostly po
litical adventurers, with no solid influence
in their States, with constantly diminish
ing political power tbei'e, and unable last
year to carry more than two out of the
twelve Southern States—to see th s hand
ful of Southern Republicans control the
great body of their fellow partisans
in Congress by merely presenting a
solid and unbroken front or opposi
tion to all reforms which would af
fect them, united with an unhesitat
ing and unquestioning support of ail
the pet schemes of their “ Northern
friends.” In the Republiean caucuses last
Winter every proposed reform was choked
by the opposition of the Southern men; and
these were the leaders, the speakers, the ac
tors, the conquerors, in every caucus or
other meeting for private consultation held
by the Republicans during the Winter.
They succeeded not more by their misrep
t esentations of Southern affairs and their
appeals for support, than by their super
serviceable zeal in abetting the schemes of
their Northern allies, which enabled them
readily to divide the Northern men of their
party. That they will pursue similar tac
tics iu the next National Convention and
thus control, if they can, its policy, if not
its nominations, there can be little doubt;
though the fact that they will come up as
the representatives of States which they
cannot carry, and afl. but two of which ax - e
sure to go Democratic, will doubtless
weaken their power.
The Herald seems to think if these
miserable adventurers from the South
could have such tremendous inflence,
what may the country hot expect from
the Southern Democracy, who shall
come up to a National Convention as
the true representatives “ of strongly
Democratic States; of a population
which will swell the Democratic vote,
and without whose help no Democrat
can hope to be elected. The Southern
Republicans, on the contrary, will ap
pear in their Convention as the repre
sentatives of rotten boroughs or of
hopeless minorities.” It adds: “ This
being so, it seems not unnatural that
the South should exercise a great and
even preponderating influence in the
next Democratic Convention. It is the
more likely to do so because the North
ern Democratic party is divided upon
some of the most important issues of
the day, and because in the last two
national conventions the South has
felt that it was slaughtered by the mis
management of its Northern allies, in
whose hands it unreservedly placed its
fortunes. In 18G8 and 1872 the South
ern Democrats came into the Conven
tion as the representatives of Republi
can States, as men who could not carry
their States for their party; and they
we.re naturally modest. To-day all this
is changed; and it would be surprising,
and argue less political tact and ambi
tion than Southern men are credited
with, if now, under greatly changed
circumstances, they should once more
commit their political fortunes unre
servedly to their Nor i hern allies.”
Taking for granted that the South
will, if compact, control matters great
ly, the Herald thinks her representa
tives will be modest enough to let the
East or West have the candidates,
while insisting on the platform. Free
trade is looked upon as a certain de
mand from this section, and, unlike
old Ben Wade, the Herald thinks hard
money will be a plank of special atten
tion to Southern men, allied to local
self-government. And right here the
Herald says,“whenever they (the South
ern Democrats) have ruled in their
own States —notably in Georgia—they
have shown themselves honest and
economical administrators; the finances
of Georgia are to-day in a better con
dition than those of most Northern
States.”*
Startiug upon this basis, the Herald
looks to the South as the true reform
er of the Union, because, as in Georgia,
when the Democrats gained possession
of their States, wrested from them by
Radical bayonets and black and white
outlaws, a sound system of govern
ment has been at once established.
What grand testimony is this to the
South, and especially to Georgia!
What a withering rebuke to the lords
of misrule, from Sumner and Wendell
Phillips to Ben Butler and Grant!
The New York paper winds up as
follows :
Whether the Southern Democrats will be
equal to their opportunity remains to be
seen. Many of them have been inclined
lather to accept a subordinate place in the
Convention; to declare themselves ready to
stand on any platform which may be offer
ed; to abandon principles and a sound
policy if only they can thus defeat the Re
publicans. But of late there are signs that
this policy is losing adherents in the South.
Tiie quarrels of the Northern Democrats
and their follies are seen to make their suc
cess more and more hopeless if they are
allowed to control the party; and some of
the wisest of the Southern Democratic
statesmen begin to think that to save their
party it is necessary that they shall con
trol the Convention and dictate the plat
form and the nominations. Undoubtedly
this is their true course, and its success de
pends only upon the question whether they
have among them statesmanship and or
ganization enough to send their ablest men
to the Convention and to agree upon prin
ciples which shall commend themselves to
the country at large and shall restore them
to public confidence.
That is the rub, indeed. If wise, true
and good men are sent from the South
to the National Convention, we have
no fears of the result. If a “convoca
tion of politic worms” contrive to get
there, men of elastic principles and
mere seekers after flesh-pots, very
grave dangers will result. We want
men from the South in our next Na
tional Convention who cannot be led
by the nose by wire-pullers or de
bauched by Manhattan Club banquets.
We want no men there who, when
flushed with wine, make fools of them
selves by senseless speeches, which
ruin the prospects of the campaign
from the very start. We should re
solve to send men there who can rise
above the dirty rewards of party suc
cess, who love principles better than
spoils, who believe that the world is
governed by ideas and not by humbug.
Tire South should send to that Con
vention her wisest, her purest, her
most patriotic statesmen, and not the
rabble of cross-roads, office-seekers or
men of local eminence, who, in the
desperate effort to get into power, blind
ly rush after false leaders and false
gods.
Col. Cole’s Report.
We publish this morning the annual
report of Col. E. W. Cole, President of
the Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis Railway Company. It is grati
fying to see that his able management
is so highly appreciated by tho stock
holders, as he has been re-elected
unanimously for eight years to the
high position he so admirably and suc
cessfully fills. This is a great and de
served compliment, and as such we
add our mite of congratulation for the
continued prosperity of an old friend.
Ben Hill. —There are some nuisances
in all circles of society, and out of it.
who never see a public man but they
gabble “ speech! speech ! ” The Span
ish Inquisition was mild in comparison
with these torturers. No man has
been more persecuted than Ben Hill,
and no man has more frequently yield
ed to such persecution. But he has
had his dose at last, and, responding
by letter to a Macon “ tormenter,”
says :
I feel grateful to the good citizens for the
confidence manifested, and would comply
with their request if it was practicable to
do so. But lam so constantly engaged in
the courts, and in arranging for coming du
ties, that it is not possible to do so. I
think, too, just at this time, there ought to
bo but little, if any, public speaking on po
litical questions, especially at the South. I
shall remember you in the future.
Ben is getting wise in his old a-ge.
Let him wait till he gets to Washing
ton. If his good-natured, but foolish,
friends had their way, he would ex
plode his ammunition box long before
December next. Andy Johnson “ cook
ed his goose” by inopportunely at
tempting to “ make Rome howl.”
Negro Education.— The Alexandria,
Va., Gazette contains the following sig
nificant paragraph :
It has happened here, however, that
while the colored girls throng the schools,
the boys neglect, to a very great extent,
the opportunities afforded them with so
much sacrifice by the white property
holders, and prefer to lounge about the
streets and suburbs rather than acquire an
education which will fit them for their fu
ture duties and responsibilities. That they
should thus grow’ up in ignorance, and then
have power to dispose of our lives and pro
perty, as voters and jurors, cannot be tol
erated, and a constitutional amendment
providing that no man born since the war
shall be entitled to vote unless he can read
or write is the only remedy. It is certainly
worthy of consideration.
The Columbus Times wants the Geor
gia Legislature to adopt a similar pro
vision. It had better adopt some
thing that will make idle men go to
work.
“Jess So!”—A few days ago, in al
luding to Mr. Nordhoff’s innoceDt
gulping down of information received
from “ intelligent contrabands,” we
ventured to point out a peculiarity of
the Ethiopian which consisted in ac
quiescence to the most monstrous
propositions emanating from a white
man. Here is one of the best illustra
tions of that fact we have ever met
with: “ A gentleman asked a negro a
few days ago, who was very noisy
about the Constitution, what it looked
like ? “ Well, Boss, 1 jess don’t ’zactly
know!” Well Bill, does it look like an
anaconda or the ten commandments ?
“ It’s jess so, boss.” And the negro
found out very suddenly he was wanted.
Now, I know that some pe pie think
that it is in the power of the Government
to make good times. The Government
can no more do it than I can make a crop
of corn. There are people who think that
the Government can create something out
of nothing. Only God Almighty can do
that, if He can.—[Ben Wale.
If the rascal had been making corn
instead of speeches we would all be
better off to some extent. Some super
natural power created Ben Wade, and
that is demonstration enough for us
that out of nothing something can be
made.
True. —There is an anecdote of Cha
teaubriand which conveys a world of
meaning. That great man said, “Mme.
Chateaubriand would not dine later
than five. I was never hungry till
seven. But we Compromised and dined
at six, so that we could neither of us
enjoy it; and that is what people call
the happiness of mutual concessions.”
And that is what so many wise old
bachelors know, and therefore pre
serve their personal independence
amid the “ crash of systems and the
wreck of worlds.”
Consolidation. —Alluding to the con
solidation of the News and Advertiser,
of Savannah, some of our contempora
ries seem to think that the former pa
per, the sole survivor, will be improved.
We doubt it. It is an excellent journal
already. If anything, without lusty
competition, it is apt, in the long run,
to decline in interest. There are sev
eral monopoly papers Jwhich need a
first-class shaking up, just now.
Good.— The howling idiots of the
Radical press have found out that
Judge Pershing, Democratic candidate
for Governor of Pennsylvania, was and
is opposed to the XlYth and XVth
Amendments. The world moves. Mr.
Pershing is on Attorney General Pier
repont’s line, to-wit: that those amend
ments are “ the greatest crimes and
blunders of the 19th century.”
Hard Money. —Democrats who have
bonds, and do not care a copper about
oivic freedom, are congratulating them
selves that Grant will veto any infla
tion schemes.
Sad.— At Fall River, Mass, fifteen
thousand operatives are out of work
and forty mills idle. Good for the De
