Saturday Morning, October 16,1875.
Hon. A. 11. Stephens and His Illness—
The Path to Victory.
In all parts of the country the an
nouncement of Mr. Stephens’ illness
has been received with regret by all
political classes. The editor of the
Washington Chrmicle heard the news
with “painful solicitude,” and declared
that a fatal termination would “ sad
den the hearts of his countrymen.” He
was characterized in this article as a
“statesman” and one whose active
mind could not be easily dispensed
with. Having said this much, the edi
tor of the Chronicle concludes as fol
lows :
Asa Southern man, his disposition will
be to tone down the fiery feeling which
may be exhibited in the House of Repre
sentatives, on the part of what we con
ceive to be the accidental majority in that
body. We have assurances that Him. will
be more mild-mannered than we have any
idea of, 'out this is only conjecture. A man
who would seriously attempt to demon
strate the absurd proposition that the peo
ple of the North are the true rebels, and
not those oE the South, will bear watching.
We are well awa~e .that Alexander H.
Stephens was Vice-President of the South
ern Confederacy. But, we are also aware
of the fact that his advice was against se
cession strongly, and that, with a voice
almost prophetic, he solemnly warned the
headstrong ones of the consequences. He
told the South, openly, that the effort to
disrupt the Union would be a ruinous fail
ure. Then, when the current was beyond
resistance, he linked his fortunes with his
fellows, and took responsibility and dis
aster with them uncomplainingly, and with
no spirit of reproach. He even went so faf
as to make the issue between the North
and the South a clear one, by enunciating
the principle that slavery, as it existed in
the South, was the corner-stone of true
civilization, and as such should be defend
ed and maintained. The North was always
grateful to Mr. Stephens for throwing in
to broad sunlight this hitherto beclouded
point. It saved volumes of breath, in
raising men and means, that sentiment of
a man so strong.
And-when captured, and found a prisoner
with the Davis party on the Wm.
P. Clyde, in the harbor of Port Royal, Mr.
Stephens gave way to no repining. With
the rest of them, he met his peculiar con
dition with what cheerfulness he could, de
siring no exemption from whatever fate
might befall his companions in misfortune.
His true nobility of character shone as
brightly in the contracted cabin of that
small vessel as when, the honored leader of
a great party, he appeared in the House of
Itopreseutatives, or when, before the peo
ple of the South, he warned them of the
danger they were incurring in lifting a
hand against the nation’s honored emblem
of authority.
In giving utterance to the fervent desire
that the life of Mr. Stephens may be
spared, we only repeat the sentiment which
is down deep in the hearts of thousands of
Unionists throughout the great North.
The sneer at Mr. Hill might have
been very properly omitted, the more
so as Mr. Stephens has demonstrated,
iu his works and speeches, much more
logically and forcibly than Mr. Hill,
that treason to the Constitution was at
the North and not at the South. Mr.
Hill, likewise, quite as eagerly and
eloquently as; Mr. Stephens, advised
against secession. If the gratitude or
love of Northern men is accorded Mr.
Stephens because of his “corner-stone
speech,” which was craftily distorted to
suit a purpose by Radical campaign
committees, the implied compliment is
only a rose with a serpent coiled about
it. But somewhat of the sting is drawn
by the fact that Northern workingmen
are now avowing that they have be
come slaves, instead of the negroes
whom they helped emancipate and en
franchise to the detriment of the whole
land.
We hope and trust that thousands,
even at the North, wish the life of Mr.
Stephens spared for one special reason,
and that is in order to push on his
grand idea of saving the country by
bringing to the front of battle, not “rag
money” or “specie payments,” but the
mighty issues of Constitutionalism vs.
Centralism. Had the Democratic party
subordinated all other minor issues to
that glorious declaration, and all that
it implies, there would not be any doubt
of the contest in a majority of States,
nor would there be a shadow of doubt
as to the result of the campaign of 1876.
Heaven grant that our wise and pro
phetic statesman may rapidly recover
from his prostration, enough at least to
flourish his honored crutch like a mar
shal’s baton, and bid the Democratic
hosts—the legions of Constitutional
Liberty—rally to correct principles,
true issues and to that only path of
honest policy which leads to over
whelming triumph. The weak point of
the Radical line is its treason to Con
stitutional principles. That is the
point to assault, and it is the point
where the enemy will be most readily
driven from power. The currency
question is a grave and serious one,
but the true policy of the. Democratic
leaders is to show that, with the over
throw of Republican Centralism, the
glory, prosperity and honor of
the country at large will follow
as inevitable consequences. The first
and paramount duty is to drive out the
Radical robbers and conspirators en
trenched in authority. That once ac
complished, the house can be put in or
der without any difficulty. On the plat
form of Constitutionalism vs Cen
tralism good men of all sections and
all parties can rally, and .such a rally
will more than compensate for the re
verses which now warn the Demo
cratic leaders that the noblest issue
of all must take the first and not a
second place in the pleading of their
cause before the grand inquest of the
people. ____________
A Double Shot.—The Nashville
American says “ the swallow-tails have
slain and scalped the Democracy of
Ohio. But in doing so they have
slaughtered their own chief. William
Allen may not rise up again, but
Samuel Tilden is as dead as Sam
Cary.” Now let the Baltimore Gazette
look oat for the State of Maryland.
4 Specimen.— We read that the city
of Pittsburg has a very destructive
Radical ring gnawing at her vitals,
which has increased the public debt at
the rate of 32,000,000 per annum since
1870. At that time the debt was $3,521,-
201. It is now $10,008,518.
Duncan, Sherman & Co.—Why No
Settlement Could be Made.
Whenever a firm, banking or other
wise, fails in business, the usual pro
cess is a proposition for settlement with
creditors, at a closely figured rate of so
many cents on the dollar, as the neces
sity of the case is supposed to warrant.
It is very natural that the number of
cents on the dollar thus offered is not
any larger than the broken merchant
can help agreeing to pay.
In the multitude of creditors there
are always some, whether wise or not
we leave to conjecture, who refuse ac
quiescence in the proposition. Then
ordinarily, if not always, ensues a with
drawal of the original terms of settle-,
ment. One of the most interesting cases
of this kind is that of Duncan, Sherman
& Cos., of New York.
Among the recalcitra’t creditors of
these broken bankers are three broth
ers Roebling, one of whom is a cele
brated engineer. Mr. Ferdinand Roeb
ling caused, through legal channels,
the arrest of the members of the bank
ing firm who had .possessed themselves
of certain funds and retained them, as
was alleged, fraudulently. Iu the
sworu statement of Mr. Roebling, he
states that “ the defendants had a
wide-spread reputation as wealthy and
honorable bankers; that they were re
ported as having a capital invested in
their business of millions ; that Wm.
Butler Duncan, one of the defendants,
owned real estate to an amount reach
ing to $1,000,000; and that such real
estate was permitted to remain of re
cord unchanged up to the 27th of July,
1875; that the defendants lived in
princely style, and that It was report
ed, without contradiction by the de
fendants, that the dowry of Wm. But
ler Duncan’s daughter would be sl,-
000,000; that the defendants’ large and
hitherto honorable course of dealing
and their high standing in the commu
nity excited the confidence of the plain
tiffs, and caused then! to have faith in
their solvency, and on this faith and
confidence they paid Ton the 21st of
July, to the defendants, the sum of
$1,637.75, and with said sum purchased
of the said defendants Their sight draft
or bill of exchange, for the sum of
£296 3s. sterling on the Union Bank of
London, and payable to the order of
Richard Johnson & Nephew. Mr.
Roebling next states that the
draft was dishonored, and that with
in six days from its purchase the
defendants declared themselves hope
lessly insolvent. He states further
that William Butler Duncan had,
about three months previous to the
failure, conveyed his real estate to his
father, but that the deeds remained in
his possession, and were not recorded
until the day after the failure. As to
the assets, Mr. Roebling believes that
they will not realize the sum of $2,000,-
000, as stated by the defendants, and he
charges that they knew of their insolv
ency when they sold and delivered to
him the bill of exchange, and that they
well knew that the same would be dis
honored. Mr. Roebling also charges
the defendants with the perpetration of
a fraud, in not at once recording the
conveyance of the real estate to Mr.
Duncan, Sr., and he also charges that
they were guilty of fraud in selling him
the bill of exchange, as they well knew
on that day they had exhausted every
avenue of relief and possessed no finan
cial resources whatever to cover the
deficiency which existed in their assets.
In conclusion, Mr. Roebling charges
that all of the defendants, knowing the
true state of their affairs, continued
after the 21st of July to impose upon
the public by doing business as usual,
and that they were guilty of aJraudu
lent concealment of their true condi
tion, and that they wilfully cheated
and defrauded the plaintiffs.”
Mr. Edwin L. Alexander, Secretary
of the brothers Roebling, makes a
sworn statement, confirmatory of the
above charges, and adds that “the
books of the late banking firm were
not accurately kept, and he believes
the defendants in the course which
they pursued perpetrated a deliberate
and willful fraud on the plaintiffs, and
by a false pretense obtained their
money.”
It is not a little singular that the
“true inwardness” of Duncan, Sherman
& Cos., was almost the precise character
of that developed in the affair of Clews
& Cos. There seems to be one groove
in which such men run, and, inasmuch
as Messrs. Duncan, Sherman & Cos.
have given bail to appear and answer
before a court of law, it will be a mat
ter of public moment to watch the pro
ceedings of such a trial and discover
whether the law is, in any part of the
country, a terror to evil-doers of this
class, or a nicely and cunningly devised
instrument for their protection and
safeguard. At the same time, it must
be remembered that the unfortunate
have few friends and should not be
judged too harshly before making their
defense.
Aha ! —Gov. Tilden gained creat
glory by “smashing the canal ring.” It
now appears that this “ring” furnished
“ demnition cash ” to help carry
elections. Having “smashed the ring,”
the Governor has the impudence to
assess the alleged members thereof for
campaign purposes. These fellows now
turn round upon Sammy and, flatly re
fusing to “bleed,” ask him how a con
cern which he claims to have “killed”
can possibly subscribe money ? Has a
dead ring money, forsooth ? The wags
of the ring, who seem to be lively
corpses, with fingers on their sepul
chral noses, and a ghostly squint to
windward, tell Sammy the “golden bowl
is broken” and not in a condition “to
ring.”
Good Joke —Quoting the Cincinnati
Enquirer's onslaught upon the National
Banks, one of our contemporaries re
ferred the distress of the county to
Nathaniel Banks. It wa3 a queer
typographical error; but, when we
come to think of it, not so bad after all.
If fellows like Nathaniel Banks had not
prospered in the Abolition sty, there
would have been no war, no rag money
and no National banks.
