CP)c (Tciistitofimwlist 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. —[Detroit Free Press. The Marechal de Faber at a siege was pointing out a place with his fin ger. As he spoke a musket ball car ried of his finger. Instantly stretching another he continued his discourse, “Gentlemen, as I was saying”— SPECIAL NOTICES. Cotton States Life Insurance Comp’y, Principal Office—Macon, Georgia. A. card!

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.
