AUGUSTA, O-A,:
Thursday Morning - , October, 7, 1875/
Huccess in Congress—Different Quali
ties of Greatness—Wit and Humor.
It is a very common mistake to sup
pose that men who distinguish them
selves outside the halls of Congress
are necessarily destined, when elected
to the House or Senate, to make a con
siderable figure in their new field of
action. Many lamentable failures have
occurred in this country and abroad.
Rufus Choate, who was a phenomenally
brilliant man at the bar, on the stump
and in the lecture room, completely
broke down as a Senator, and the same
is true with regard to Edwabd Everett.
In England, Erskine, who stood, facile
princeps, the very head and front of
British lawyers, was sent to Parlia
ment to confront and overthrow the
great William Pitt. It is related that
Pitt himself had some doubts of the
encounter and prepared himself accord
ingly. Erskine rose in his seat, and
commenced an argument against the
ministry. Pitt listened attentively for
a little while, jotted down a few Dotes,
then exhibited signs of impatience, and
finally, with a contemptuous jesture,
drove his pen through the memoran
dum and tossed it to one side. If he
had thrust a spear into the heart of
Erskine, instead of a sharpened quill
through a bit of stationery, the effect
would not have been more magically
fatal. The illustrious advocate and
orator exhibited mortal trepidation and
confusion. He halted in his speeeh,
lost the grip upon his argument, stum
bled in his utterance, and, after a few
unavailing efforts to recover com
posure, yielded the contest and
never again entered the lists
as a rival or ’dangerous competitor of
the adversary he had so longed to en
counter. And so, it is said, Rufus
Choate quailed at the very glance or
fore-finger of Henry Clay. The shore
of time is strewn wltlqthe wrecks of
reputations made outside of the Cap
itol.
In a recent number of Harper's Mag
azine, Hon. S. S. Cox, who has prosper
ed, after a fashion, in all political un
dertakings, treats of this subject in his
racy way. He takes issue with the as
sertion, so common in England, and be
coming so general here, that the prac
tical talent for business is that required
for legislation, and says: “The mere
business men in Congress are not the
most successful as* legislators. They
seldom give their attention to general
thoughts. Even a great lawyer or
scientist, a manufacturer of paper or
the editor of a journal—notably such
men have seldom impressed themselves
directly on debates and legislation/’
Turning his attention to the ascrip
tion that the greatest men in America
are ostracised from public life, and that
second rate men fill third rate places,
he takes issue thus:
Horace Mann, on a school board, was
great; in Congress he was as much a babe
in the woods as Horace Greeley off his
tripod. Vanderbilt or Beecher would be
lost in Congress. All ex parte men, preach
ers especially, are unfitted for the forum of
open debate. It is the full rounded devel
opment of all the faculties, including that
of humor, which is the secret spring to po
litical sucee-s, and the test of our greatest
men. Had Horace Mann, Horace Gree
ley and Henry J. Raymond used half the
fun power which they possessed, as Gen.
Schexck, Gen. Nye or John P. Hale did
theirs, their legislative career would not be
overshadowed by their renown in other
spheres. Francis Jeffrey was a great re
viewer, Maoauley a great historian, and
Bulwer a splendid genius; their parlia
mentary fame is as dust in the balance
against their literary glories. It is not
more abstract knowledge of human society,
or of political economy, that makes sena
torial fame. Pistol hit the mark on Fal
staff. The latter was Chancellor of the
Exchequer. Said that knight, arguing for
his budget:
“My honest lads, I will tell you what I am
about.”
“Two yards of more,” shrieked Pistol.
“No quips now, Pistol. lam about
thrift.”
But he shook his sides with Pistol on the
fun, and went to work on the budgret—or
the highway. This was statesmanship.
General Schenck, after two months’ de
bate in 1870-71, when his tariff bill had
been torn to shreds by close contests, item
by item, turned his missiles of sarcasm
upon all his contestants. He passed his
own bill as a substitute and received all the
credit for the reform. How did he make the
turn?
“My bill, Mr. Speaker, has been nibbled
to death by pismires and kicked to death
by grasshoppers.”
It is very natural for Mr. Cox, who
has been called the “end man” of Con
gress to 'give to ready wit the first
place as an essential for parliamentary
success, but it may be said, on the
other hand, that Mr. Cox himself might
have been a much more influential,
useful and celebrated character had he
subordinated his humorous gifts to a
solid body of thought. As it is, he is
“Soi” Cox, “Sunset” Cox, “Shoo-Fly”
Cox, etc., etc. Great has been the in
justice a superabundant and pluperfect
tendency to make sport of serious mat
ters has done him. He has made be
lieve that the world is governed by
humbug instead of ideas, and would
rather raise a laugh than treat a prin
ciple with becoming gravity. His cap
ital mistake has been in running the
tender of fancy before the locomotive
of fact. His true success in polit
ical life must always be doubt
ful and ephemeral, because he
is not, what the French habitually call
the masters of art, a “serious man.”
Our Gallic friends do not mean to
imply by this that a lugubrious edition
of the seven penitential psalms should
always accompany first-class states
manship or art, but that wit, the power
of which quality none better under
stand or employ than they do, should
be the accessory of commanding talent
or genius, and not its absolute lord.
When Tittlebat Titmouse, by crowing
like a chicken-cock, disconcerted the
Minister and gained a triumph for the
opposition in Parliament, he certainly,
by accidental buffoonery, accomplished
what eloquence or reasoning might
have failed at; but who has anything
hut contempt for Tittlebat Titmouse
and the means adopted for securing a
temporary success ?
For our part, wo think the qualities
for leadership in Congress are varied
and well-defined. No man will take
high rank there for mere oratory, such
as the hustings and court houses fre
quently display. To the gift of fluency
must be added the qualities of sagac
ity, profound judgment, genuine schol
arship, earnestness, and a certain nat
ural habit of taking front rank by the
power of superior invividuality. A man
thus equipped will not easily be rel
egated to a second place, and, even with
the “ gift of the gab ” omitted, he will
be felt as a wonder-worker when his
more windy colleagues, without proper
ballast, will be simply heard or laughed
at. There have been Congressmen who
will survive when Sam Cox shall be
forgotten, who never or rarely perpe
trated a witticism, though it might
have added something to their popular
stature bad they occasionally relaxed
into a livlier mood, though this is
questionable.
There can be no question of the fact
that wit is one of the most formidable
as it is one of the most dangerous of
intellectual weapons, especially in the
hands of a man who knows how to use
it with judgment. The trouble, how
ever, is tha7 men who possess this fac
ulty in excess are enslaved by it as
Sam Cox ha3 been, and, in the long run,
too, the habitual jester dwindles into a
sorry clown, or else the vein he has
been working suddenly disappears and
he is consigned to the ghastly limbo of
the “stale, fiat and unprofitable.”
Gov. Smith.— The local reporter for
the Columbus Enquirer thus dilates:
“We were conversing the other day
with a cultivated lady, who attended
the same primary school at Culloden,
Monroe county, that Gov. Smith did.
She tells that the teacher used to
prophecy that “Milt” would yet be
President of the United States, because
ho stood head in his spelling class.”
When “Milt” becomes President on
that score, wo may reasonably expect
that some of our champion spellers will
become Governor. Had the Presidents
of the United States been disqualified
by defective orthography, great havoc
would have bgen committed. Wash
ington was not a dabster in this re
spect, Andrew 7 Jackson was an assassin
of words, and, we dare say, Lincoln,
Johnson and Grant would rather have
faced a park of artillery, loaded to the
muzzle, than stood up in competition
with an average class in a public school.
Butterfly Prosperity. —We find the
following “personal” going the rounds :
Miss Neilson (Mrs. Lee) Is in Paris and
seems to be enjoying life hugely. A corres
pondent of the St. Louis Times says she is
“prettier than ever,” and “she sat in a box
at the Vaudeville Theatre in Paris, one
night two weeks ago, robed in mauve silk
covered from top to bottom with white
duehesse lace. A coronal of mauve flowers
rested at the back of her head, and a mass
of duehesse lace fell from it and was
swathed about her bare shoulders; im
mense pearls hung In her oars, and a neck
lace of the same filled in the square-cut
neck. She was accompaniedby Mr. Angieb,
of Georgia, who, report says, has spent a
fortune in pearls and duehesse lace and
such trifles during the summer in Paris.”
The man and the woman might profi
tably read the last chapter in the lives
of Beau Brummell and Lady Hamilton
—if it be lawful to compare great
things with small.
Schurz. —The hardest raps given
Carl Schurz are those delivered from
the shoulder by his Democratic fellow
countrymen. For example, the editor
of the Illinois Staats Zeitung charges
him with bad faith in land speculation;
that he makes money out of other peo
ple by crafty “moral agriculture”; that
when Minister to Spain he received
£12,307.68 fer his services, and yet was
at his post only five months and six
days; that he still owea the Govern
ment £1,012.08, and, in a word, is a “re
former” according to circumstances. It
may be that Mr. Schurz’s really power
ful speeches in Ohio were undertaken
to work out the balance due the Wash
ington authorities. Nine speeches, at
£101.34 each would about settle that
“little bill.”
Grant’s Speech. —The Courier-Jour
nal says; “In the State of lowa, where
President Grant delivered his great
“jotted down” moral speech the other
day, the Radical State Treasurers have
invariably defaulted. In the last two
years £140,000 has been stolen from
the Treasury, and the thieves are still
at large, bright and shining lights in
the party of moral ideas. The Presi
dent’s advice to erect family altars was
a good point in his speech. The lowa
Radicals seem to need something of
the kind.” #
Those defaulting treasurers at least
owed it to Grant that they should have
attended the President’s horse-sale
and bought in the “Vicksburg mare”
and the “Nellie Grant team” at rea
sonable figures.
Rats. —The New York Times, which
has shown the rascality of “bitters,”
turns its battery upon rats and
methods for their annihilation. After
scourging the inventors of nostrums
as arrant impostors, it says : “And
yet there is one effective remedy for
rats. If one tears down his house,
plows arsenic into the foundation, and
builds upon its site a strong inclosure
filled with large and hungry cats, the
rats will desert it. The remedy is a
costly one, and it has its inconveni
ences, but so far it is the only remedy
which can be tried with any reason
able hope that it will be effective.”
Mayor Estes and the Chronicle.—
After the handsome and good-natured
notice of his Honor, in yesterday’s
Chronicle, wo feel assured that he will,
as of yore, rather omit taking a
wealthy and prospecting manufacturer
up the canal, than neglect the reading
of our lively and enterprising contem
porary. He will do so the more eagerly
if full reports of his speeches in Coun
cil add another attraction to existing
perfections.
Mb. George L. Fox, the pantomlmist, was
reported to have had paralysis of the facial
musclos, so that he could no more give his
excruciating “looks.” The report is untrue.
It appears simply that he tried to read one
of Gov. Allen’s speeches, and said he could
never laugh again.—JV. Y. Herald.
If Gov. Allen should carry Ohio by
a rousing majority there will be some
portentous “laughing on the wrong side
of the mouth.”
