AUGUSTA. Q-A.:
Saturday Morning, December 11,1875.
Comments on tlie Message—Bishop
Haven Preaches the Third Term
Crusade.
Elsewhere we give a bold, frank,
vigorous extract from the New York
Herald , which takes issue with some
salient points in the President’s Mes
sage. The opinions of the country
upon the Executive missive are be
ginning to crop out and come forward.
The more prominent and concurrent
idea is that it is “shrewd and tedious.’’
The Cuban position was a genuine sur
prise. A Republican is quoted as say
ing that it is “singular for its omis
sions. It has not a word for two of
the most notable events of the year,
the discovery of the whiskey frauds,
which form the most extensive con
spiracy against the revenue known in
our history, and the exposure of the
Indian ring.” The notable absence of
any reference to the “condition of the
South” is of astonish
ment. Probably the result of the elec
tion in Mississippi made silence wise,
and, it may be, the President, like the
profane omnibus driver, could not do
the subject justice. We are inclined
to believe that he iu more than wilting
just npw to make friends in this
section. Another Republican is quoted
thus: “If you Democrats are wise,
you will make haste to adopt an
amendment about school funds, and
tku3 take that question out of politics.
The President has the sympathy of the
country on the question, and if he
means third term he has taken the
only ground upon which he can get it.
If he got the nomination on that plat
form he would go in by a swinging ma
jority. If you want to kill off the third
term I advise you to adopt an amend
ment on the subject at once and take
the question out of current politics.
You can get it through the Legisla
tures this winter, for nobody will op
pose it.” With due deference to this
Republican Mentor, we would observe
ihat the true wisdom of Democracy is
not to stir, as a party or by legislation,
the school question at all, but let it
fall of its own weight. Agitation will
swell its importance and agitation is
what Grant wants. A good general
does not accord to his adversary the
choice of positions.
The common opinion on the Cuban
question is that the President has
moved on the right track, but, in so
moving, has employed too much ver
biage to convey his ideas. We dare
say Mr. Secretary Fish had a finger in
that pie.
When Morton asked Gen. Ransom,
of North Carolina, how he liked the
Message, the latter replied: “ Better
than you do.” We infer that the
North Carolina Senator meant that
Grant’s bid for a third term was so
powerful that it laid Morton out like a
cold corpse. A correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun writes that one of the
most sagacious, if not the most saga
cious Democratic Senator on the floor,
said the President had overreached
himself in his ambitious aspirations.
This Senator did not believe that there
was sufficient ignorance and bigotry
among the people of this country to
respond favorably to the political
ideas thrown out by the President. He
said further, that what the President
said about naturalization smacked of
Know-Nothingism. The States of the
South, where the native-born citizens
live, he said, are, of course, opposed to
the President, and such talk as he has
about the naturalized citizens will tend
very much to put that element against
him. The foreign-born citizens hold
the balance of power in most of the
populous States of the North and
West, and with them against him, the
ambitious hopes of the President will
certainly be laid low.
The Cincinnati commercial, a Liber
al Republican journal, while agree
ing with Grant that church prop
erty ought to be taxed within certain
limits, very properly wants to know
what the General Government has to
do with it. The Commercial, without
stopping to consider that the aim of
Radicalism Is centralization— Grant’s
sole object and desire—says : “ The
exemption or taxation of these proper
ties is a question exclusively for the
people of the several States to consid
er. There is no reason for thrusting it
into a message to Congress other than
to arouse sectarian prejudices and
bring into play, in support of the third
term scheme, the ecclesiastical and de
nominational agencies which have their
expression through the mouths of such
superserviceable gentlemen of the
cloth as Reverend Bishop Haven, of
the Methodist Church. Of course the
true rule is that all species of property,
whether held by individuals, corpora
tions, or denominations, shall be equal
ly taxed. There should be no favors
shown in this or any other re
spect.” Hardly were these words
cold on editor’s pencil when up
pops the redoubtable Bishop Haven,
like jaek-in-the-box. He appeared, in
Boston, before a large meeting of the
Sunday School Union, two hundred
ministers being present, and then and
there renominated Grant for President,
“as a measure of safety for the Repub
lic.” It is said that "his remarks were
adopted by a unanimous vote.” If
Cardinal McClosiey had done this
thing what a howl would have ensued.
And we think a shout of reprobation
would justly arise, in case he so far
forgot his cloth. We know not what
the Methodists of the North may do,
but it is pretty certain that the glo
rious and true-hearted Southern
branch, one of the most ardent and
self-sacrificing bodies of men anywhere,
will repudiate Haven and all his lep
rous works. Upon this point, the New
York Herald makes the following re
marks : “If he [Haven] supposes that
Methodists will, as a general thing, sub
mit to be told by a clergyman, if
even he is a bishop, whose duty it
is to win souls to Christ, that
ihey must vote one way or
another, their sense of independence
will rebel. In this century one fact is
becoming more and more appareut>
namely, that, no matter how reverent
ly the human heart may accept the pre
cepts of religion, there is intelligence
enough to lead it to revolt when, under
the name of religion, an attempt is
made to foster political ambition or
consolidate political power. The dec
laration of Bishop Haven in favor of a
third term will give new color to the
intrigues which have been on foot for
some time in favor of a third term.
Upon the other hand, it will introduce
into our poiitics a question which we
do not fear—namely: How far shall
priests and bishops be permitted to use
their holy offices to effect political
results ?”
The Herald may not fear this clerical
interference, but it is to be dreaded
nevertheless. It is not to be laughed
at, but deeply to be deplored. The
Cincinnati Enquirer hits the nail on
the head when it observes that “those
who know the significance of the thing
as a party war cry regard the position
taken by the President as the desperate
resort of a determined man bent on
carrying out revolutionary designs at
whatever cost to the country. The
general verdict of the Democrats, and
of many Republicans, is that the Mes
sage is a bid for the third term, wind
ing up with an enunciation of the third
term platform. The partisans of the
Administration are delighted with the
message. They say Grant has now
shown his hand and thrown down the
gage of battle, not only to the Demo
crats, but to the weak-kneed conser
vative Republicans as well. It is an
open question among leading men here
whether this message, which was de
signed as a political document to dis
tract the Democracy, will not have the
contrary effect of a fire-brand thrown
into the Republican camp.”
We are content to regard it as an
open question, whether such a bomb
shell will hurt Democracy or Radi
calism the more; but when we reflect
that a bare-footed friar inaugurated
the first crusade and that some of the
most startling events in history had
their origin from apparent trifles, it is
not safe to argue that Grant has fallen
into disgrace and disaster simply be
cause a notorious man like Bishop
Haven has presented his credentials
for a third term.
Repeal. —The Democrats in the
House made a good start by repealing
the rules passed by the last Republi
can Congress, which prevented fili
bustering and the requirement that
motions to suspend the rules be sec
onded by a majority before being put
to the House. These rules had been
adopted by the Radicals to limit the
few privileges of the then minority.
Morally, this is a glorious Democratic
display of magnanimity ; but we have
generally found that extraordinary
kindness to Radicals is a waste of the
raw material. Monsters hate those ex
hibitions of virtue which imply a sense
of gratitude. There are men in the
Republican ranks who will appreciate
this noble act of the Democrats; but
the whippers-in and the rank and file
will only hate more intensely the party
granting a favor which, in the day of
triumph, was so arrogantly denied to
their weaker adversaries.
Sarcastic.— The Cincinnati Gazette's
Washington correspondent speaks of
“the lost tribes coming up from the
South to possess the Capital.” He also
alludes to the swearing in of Southern
Congressmen as “a dress-parade of ex-
Confederate Brigadiers.” We would
remind our facetious contemporary
that the better men of the Republican
party will rejoice that honest Southern
men are displacing Radical rogues;
that Southern statesmen may have
been ardent strict-constructionists of
the Constitution, but they did not steal;
that plantation manners are better than
crooked whiskey and credit mobilier
capers. The “lost tribes” have been
called back to power in order to crush
the Ring-public and restore the Re
public.
• 1
Sorry.—The New York Herald is
“sincerely sorry that President Grant
has made so strenuous an effort to
drag religious questions into polities.
It is an unworthy electioneering device,
which will not bear discussion, and
which is pretty certain to react against
his own party.” He dragged in what
the Centralists and bigots will rejoice
at, and what was best suitable for a
popular lift on the third term question.
It would have been worth his while to
have given a disquisition upon crooked
whiskey, but probably Babcock asked
for a “suspension of opinion,” and
Grant sticks to his friends.
—-
Carpenter. —Every now and then, the
Western papers remind Matt Carpen
ter of his easy virtue and the phenome
non of being “desperately short,” Matt
is quite sensitive and retorts. In his
latest expostulation with the editor of
the Chicago Tribune, who charged him
with complicity with whiskey frauds,
he says: “If your charges are true I
am a disgraced man; if not you are;
and which is the villain we will submit
to the determination of a jury.” We
have not seen the editor’s reply, but
dare say he will read Matt a disquisi
tion upon the impossibility of spoiling
rotten -eggs, and suggest that fre
quently a jury gives damages of one
cent—a kind of verdict which retains
the scent of the debatable eggs afore
said.
m
Creditable —Not one word directly
against the South in the Message.
Well, there is something to commend
in that. Still, if the Message was an
electioneering document, it would not
do to antagonize a section which has
become so powerful politically in the
last twelve months.
Monumental. —It is said that Fran
cis Scott Key’s admirers in Freder
ick, Md., are making another vigorous
effort to raise funds for a monument to
his memory. They had better appro
priate the fund for his poor female re
lations, if any exist. When money was
being raised for Chief Justice Taney’s
monument, his unfortunate daughters
were reduced to beggary.
Rapid Transit.— The Captain’s story
of the loss of the Deutschland, pub
lished telegraphically in both papers of
this city yesterday morning, appeared
in the columns of the Western press
the day before. A subscriber in Au
gusta to the Nashville American could
have read that telegram quite as soon
as he did in his city paper. The
Deutschland seems to have had two
accidents—the first on the Kentish
Knock, and the second on the Wash
ington bar.
• m> 9
Head Lights.— The Chicago Times
says: “If you see a man with a big
diamond on his shirt front, have him
arrested. It may not be Tweed,
but it will serve him right anyway.”—
We would add, as a matter of precau
tion, that the apprehension of a man
with a diamond head-light, bought at a
dollar store, will not altogether fill the
Bill—Tweed.
Bravo!— Col. Hancock, editor of the
Sumter Republican, sounds this clarion:
“From our own garden, on the first day
of the present month, English peas,
Irish potatoes, squash, butter beans,
tomatoes, radish, lettuce and straw
berries —all fine for the season. All
honor to our better half.” Mrs. Han
cock will spoil that man, if she does
not take care.
g
Endorsements. —An exchange mourns
over the fact that some of our Consuls
and Ministers periodically endorse
guide-books, and their complimentary
letters are published as advertisements.
We have seen great names attached to
recommendations of well-puffed Liver-
Regulators. Poor, poor humanity!
Stephens.— One account stated that
Mr. Stephens’ seat in Congress was the
same he had chosen last session. We
now learn that his position will be on
the De mocratic side, about the centre
of the second row. Truth like his will
shine in the middle. In medio tutissi
mus ibit.
Gould,—ln answer to a legal suit,
Jay Gould pleads the gambling statute
and describes a contract to deliver
gold as a “mere bet or wager on the
future market price of gold coin.”
Having lost his wager, he confesses
himself a scoundrel rather than pay it.
This is equivalent to an nonagenarian
attempting to escape the lash of justice
by pleading the “baby act.”
Crooked Whiskey Is now called the
Babcock Extinguisher.
§
A Georgia Editor.
[Griffin News.]
On McDonough street, in Atlanta, is
a stately mansion, fronted by a beau
tiful garden, containing rare flowers,
evergreens and pretty terraces. This
is the residence of John M. Clarke,
Esq., and the home of his son, Col. E.
Y. Clarke, managing editor of the At
lanta Constitution, whose taste is dis
played in the garden which he arranged
and planted. Here, seizing a brief in
terim of recreation between the jour
nalistic labors of the day and those of
the night, he likes to spend the twilight
hour with his flowers and the musical
waters of a murmuring fountain.
His newspaper enterprises and other
events haviDg recently caused frequent
mention of his name, and as he was
selected by the last Press Convention
to read an essay on newspaper manage
ment, a brief sketch of this Georgia
editor may not be-uninteresting, especi
ally to the profession at whose shrine
he is such an ardent devotee, and to
whose members he has shown such a
zealous attachment, both for their in
terest and pleasure.
With his newspaper career the public
are familiar—his caution, accuracy, ten
acity of position, earnestness of advoca
cy, and other editorial qualifications.—
But of his previous history little is
known, owing largely to his modest
reticence and avoidance of self-no
toriety. Of this we propose to speak,
and less of the sterner elements of the
editor than of the gentler side of his
nature.
Graduating at the State University
with high honor, he stepped from the
college into the ranks of the army, a
beardless youth, but was soon pro
moted by the Confederate Government
for distinguished gallantly on several
battle-fields, and at the close of the
war commanded a regiment. During
his military career he frequently dis
played that spirit of self-sacrifice to
the welfare of others which is now so
marked a feature of his character. On
one occasion, after transporting his
command over a swollen river in safety,
he leaped from his horse at the head of
his column, and holding a rope in his
mouth, at the peril of his life and
against all remonstrance, plunged into
the fierce waters of a mountain tor
rent and rescued a drowning private
soldier of another regiment.
At the close of the war he began the
practice of law with bright prospects of
success. But having had from boy
hood a fondness for the newspaper
profession, he was induced to purchase
a half interest in the Constitution, thus
becoming associated with a classmate,
Mr. W. A. Hemphill. The result of that
association is seen to-day In one of the
strongest and most prosperous of
Southern journals, its building, print
ing material and actual publishing
property being probably worth not far
from 850,000.
His devotion to the public and indi
vidual welfare has been conspicuous
through life. Long a strenuous pro
moter of Sunday school and religious
interests, all charitable and public en
terprises received from him ready and
liberal assistance. One of the founders
of the Young Men’s Library, he has
been and still is one of its main up
builders. To his private charities, es
pecially in the pitiless winter days, the
inmates of humble cottages in Atlanta
can testify.
And yet, after all, we must find fault
with him. Full of sentiment, he loves
music, and the tones of his flute often
float upon the air. He has a poetic
turn, some of his poems being widely
copied ; but he rarely courts the Muse.
He is wedded to flowers, but alas ! he
Is not wedded otherwise. Let him
court the Muse in the shape of some
charming girl, and redeem the promise
to have a wife before the next Consti
tution excursion. He will then, for the
first time, learn what music, flowers
and poetry really are.
“Gentlemen, I can’t lie about the
horse ; he is blind in one eye,” said the
auctioneer. The horse was soon
knocked down to a citizen who had
been greatly struck by the auctioneer’s
honesty, and after paying for the horse
he said : “ You were honest unough to
tell me that this animal was blind in
one eye. Is there any other defect ?
“Yes, sir, there is. He is also blind in
the other eye 1” was the prompt reply.

APPLETON’S
AMMAN IMOPIDIA
NEW REVISED EDITION.
ENTIRELY REWRITTEN BY THE
ABLEST WRITERS ON EVERY
SUBJECT.
Printed from New Type, and Illustrated with
several Thousand Engravings and
Maps.
The work originally published under the
title of THE NEW AMERICAN CYCLO
PAEDIA was completed in 1863, since which
time, the wide circulation which it has at
tained in all parts of the United States, and
the signal developments which has taken
place in every branch of science, literature
and art, have induced the editors and
üblishers to submit to an exact and thoro
ugh revision, and to issue anew edition en
titled
THE AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA.
Within the last ten years the progress of
discovery in every department of knowl
edge has made anew work of reference an
imperative want. .... . ,
The movement of political affairs lias
kept pace with the discoveries of science,
and their fruitful application to the indus
trial and useful arts, and tho convenience
and refinement of social life. G reat wars
and consequent revolutions havo occurred,
involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own coun
try, which was at its height when the last
volume of the old work appeared,
has happily been ended, and a
new course of commercial and in
dustrial activity has been commenced.
Large accessions to our
GEOGRAPHICAL KNOWLEDGE
Have been made by the Indefatigable ex
plorers of Africa.
The groat political revolutions of the
last decade, with the natural result of tho
lapse of time, hav e brought into public
view a multitude of new men, whose nainee
are in every one’s mouth, and of whose
lives every one is curious to know the par
ticulars. Great battles have been fought
and important sieges maintained, of which
the details are as yet preserved only in the
newspapers or in the transient publications
of the day, but which ougiit now to take
their place in
PERMANENT AND AUTHENTIC HISTORY.
In preparing the present edition for tho
press, it has accordingly been the aim of
the editors to bring down tho information
to the latest possible dates, and to furnish
an accurate account of the most recent
discoveries In science, of every fresh pro
duction in literature, and of the newest
inventions in the practical arts, as well as
to give a succinct and original record of
of the progress of
POLITICAL AND HISTORICAL EVENTS.
Tho work has been begun after long and
careful preliminary labor, and with the
most ample resources for carrying it on
to a successful termination.
None of the original stereotype plates
have been used, but every page has been
PRINTED ON NEW TYFE,
Forming in fact anew Cyclopaedia, with
the same plan and compass as its predeces
sor, but with a far greater pecuniary ex
penditure, and with such improvements
in its composition as have been suggested
by longer experience and enlarged knowl
edge.
THE ILLUSTRATIONS.
Which are introduced for the first time in
the present edition, have been added not
for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give
greater lucidity and force to the explana
tions in the text. They embrace all
branches of science and of natural history,
and depict the most famous and remarka
ble features of scenery, architecture and
art, as well as the various processes of
mechanics and manufactures. Although
intended for instruction rather than em
bellishment, no pains have been spared to
insure their
ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE.
The cost of their execution is enormous,
and it is beli fed they will find a welcome
reception as an admirable feature of the
Cycloptedia, and worthy of its high charac
ter.
This work is sold to subscribers only,
payable on delivery of each volume. It
wili be complete iu Sixteen Large Octavo
Volumes, each containing about 800 pages,
fully illustrated with several thousand
Wood Engravings, and with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.
