CEljc Constitotionnlist. 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.” SPECIAL NOTICES. FAY YOUR STATE AND COUNTY TAXES.
