AUGHJSTA. QA.: 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.
