AUGUSTA. a-A..:
Thursday Morning, Dec. 10, 1875.
Hon. George H. Pendleton.
We have seldom met a more elegant
gentleman than Hon. George H. Pen
dleton. His handsome face beams
with intelligence and good-nature, and
there Is diffused all about him the un
mistakable air of one of nature's no
blemen. In a conversation of some
length with him, he never once alluded
to himself, never touched upon politics,
never abused anybody, never indulged
in harangues or sought, in any way, to
assert his superiority. On the contrary,
he seemed rather inclined to listen
than to talk, and of all the public men
we have met, In many years, is the
least affected and most modest. And
yet, this noble gentleman, now in the
very flush of manhood, was twice on
the very verge of the highest offices in
the gift of the people, and is celebrated
for his eloquence and learning. The
contrast between Bayabd and Pendle
ton is very striking, and we know
not how better to characterize our
impression than by alluding to it as
the difference between enthusiasm and
force. Both are men of mark, but it
appears to us that Pendleton is the
man of larger brain, as he is the pro
founder statesman. Bayard wears his
heart upon his sleeve, and is an inces
sant declaimer. Pendleton, more se
date, self-composed and unselfish, never
raises a whirlwind, but indicates by the
intrepid glance of his eye and the reso- (
lute character of his presence, that he
is equal to all great occasions, when
they arise, and, never evoking storms,
is yet not afraid to meet them. We
are very glad indeed to have made his
personal acquaintance, and trust that
his unostentatious trip through our
section may be as delightful to him as
it must be to all with whom he comes
in contact.
Grant and Henderson—Let There Be
Fair Play.
We think it a mistake to jump to the
conclusion that, because the lightning
has struck very near the President, he
Is equally worthy of being smitten by
the bolt and equally guilty with the
whiskey riDg rapscallions. His Excel
lency may have exhibited bad taste in
urging the removal of Henderson for
words spoken professionally, but it is
not altogether to his discredit, espe
cially at the South, that he is quick to
resent a personal insult, or what he
believes to be such. In this particular,
lie shows that his nature, as a man of
honor, has far more of the Cavalier
than the Puritan in its compo
sition. The New York Times very
cleverly suggests too, that if Hender
son’s insinuations had not been resent
ed, there is not a Democratic paper in
the whole country which would not by
this time have been declaring that the
President’s silence was an admission of
guilt. The same paper pithily adds :
“ There are numbers of writers always
ready to insinuate that the President is
a corrupt man, but none have ven
tured to bring a direct charge against
him. In political matters we have
often differed with Gen. Grant, but we
believe him to be a thoroughly upright
and honest man, and it does not reflect
any credit upon the country to have
Democratic papers trying to spread
abroad the opposite impression. This
kind of attack upon the President is
pretty sure to cause a strong reaction
in his favor, as we have once or twice
warned the Democrats and their allies.
They seem determined to render him
as popular as they can.”
Unpalatable as this statement is, we
believe it to contain an immense amount
of truth, and, in case the President
should emerge from this controversy
with a blameless personal record, as is
most likely, the cause of Democracy,
as illustrated by his rabid assailants,
will be the chief sufferer.
Our own opinion as to his sensitive
ness, in this matter, has been already
expressed. We thought, and still think,
he could have afforded, like Frederick
the Great, to ignore or despise a pro
blematical lampoon. But it is not less
true that silence, in such a matter,
might be misconstrued, and, under a
supposed coat of mail, the President
has quick feelings which betray him
into utterance when his honor and his
family are thrust at venomously. We
generally find that, in questions of pro
priety, and where there are two sides
for impartial consideration, the calm,
judicial and mind that con
trols the editorial columns of the Balti
more Sun is generally right and fair.
From this source, devoted to the South,
at enmity politically with Grant, but a
lover above all of the truth, we quote
ns follows : “With respect to the dis
missal of Gen. Henderson from further
connection with the prosecutions, to
the success of which he has so materi
ally contributed, and in which his
thorough familiarity with the evidence (
would have made his continued servi
ces particularly valuable, the fact is, of
course, much to be regretted. Gen.
Henderson, however, might have pro
perly avoided it Employed as the
special counsel of the government to
assist the district attorney in bringing
to justice the parties engaged in de
frauding the revenue, his pointed re
flections upon the President in his
speech in the Avery trial amounted to
at least a violation of good taste and
professional decorum. The whole pas
sage in which the offensive remarks oc
cur reads more like a speech on the
hustings than the argument of a public
prosecutor. What Gen. Henderson
says about the corruptions and abuses
of party may be all very true—it is
what we have often said in these col
umns, and may have frequent occasion
to say again—but that had nothing to
do with the question of Avery’s guilt
or innocence, “in manner and form,” as
General Hancock says, “as he stood in
dicted.” He referred to the President’s
supposed influence over the commiss
ioner of internal revenue, and directly
suggested that the commissioner
had weakly yielded, in violation of his
duty, to the President’s personal wish
es or commands. Neither the Presi
dent nor the commissioner was on tri
al, and if General Henderson had good
grounds for believing that the Presi
dent had acted corruptly or improper
ly, it was not for him, then and there,
to say so. He “traveled out of the
record” to impute to the President a
connection with the frauds, which, if it
existed, would not simply be discredi
table to the President personally, but
would be .a national disgrace. The
head of the government of a free peo
ple could not be thus dishonored with
out some of the same attaching to the
whole country in the eyes of
the world. General Henderson
should have thought twice before
venturing upon so grave a charge
for the sake of sounding a period or
making his denunciation of party cor
ruption in high places more impressive.
There seems to be no reason for sus
pecting the good faith of the adminis
tration in the matter of the whiskey
prosecutions. The grand jury which
indicted the President’s friend, General
Babcock, went out of its way, some peo
ple may think, in point of taste, in the
opposite direction to Gen. Henderson,
in testifying formally and publicly
their confidence in the President’s sin
cerity, and their thanks for the sup
port and encouragement his direction
to “let no guilty one escape” had af
forded them. While dismissing Hen
derson the Attorney General’s tele
gram to District Attorney Dyer, in
structing him to retain the ablest coun
sel in St. Louis in his place, without
regard to politics, would certainly not
Indicate any relaxation of vigor or dis
position to show especial leniency to
Babcock. The offer of the position va
cated by Henderson to an eminent
Democratic lawyer of St. Louis, as tele
graphed on Saturday, would seem to
be a further assurance of good faith.
If it be true, as rumored, that expected
developments in connection with similar
frauds in Cincinnati will come still more
nearly home to the circle of the Presi
dent’s intimates and friends, so much
the more credit is due him for prosecu
ting the disagreeable task. Secretary
Bristow’s report leaves us no room to
doubt his honesty in this, any more
than in any other matter connected
with his administration]of the treasury,
while the public interest in the success
of the ‘whiskey raid’ which he has the
credit of inaugurating could not be
better expressed than in his own words,
where he shows that justice to those
who meet their obligations to the Gov
ernment promptly and honestly re
quires that those who seek to evade
theirs should be made to bear their
share of the burden, and that it is of
especial importance that officers of the
Government who have betrayed their
trusts and participated in frauds shall
be brought to speedy and condign
punishment. This is practical reform
worth a whole bushel of mere declama
tion about the general need of reform,
and of equally general promises to un
dertake it. There has been no more
searching work of reform undertaken
in connection with the revenue service
of the country than is now in progress
in the United States court house at St.
Louis.”
Whatever fault may be found with
the above reasoning, it can not be ac
cused of a want of courage or a lack of
logic. It may not sound pleasantly to
the prejudiced partisan or the mere
politician, but to thinking men it will
come home as the word of truth and
soberness. So far, there is nothing to
implicate Gen. Grant with personal
connection with the whiskey frauds,
and until there shall be something tan
gible upon which to hang a serious
charge, he deserves to be held inno
cent and unsuspected. The right de
manded by the meanest criminal, and
lawfully accorded, can not be refused
to the President of the United
States. Hitherto, unsustained and un
sustainable charges have helped
him to popular favor and confound
ed his enemies. The Democracy
had better be careful lest past experi
ence be repeated. It would seem, at
times, that the admonition of Republi
cans who are hostile to his policy was
worth listening to. We have often
heard men say that they “ did not
want Grant for a third term and did
not like him, but the course pursued
by extreme men of the Democracy
forced him to the front.” It is the part
of prudence, wisdom and justice that
the President, in virtue of his high
office, if for nothing else, should have
fair play. If this be not conceded, and
he be proven blameless, the men who
have helped him farthest on the road
to a third term will be those who,
rashly presuming him guilty, play the
executioner in advance of a trial and
verdict.
Decensus Averni —The Greenville
News thus trenchantly portrays the
downward path politically, of South
Carolina: “We have ‘Greeleyized’
South Carolina again and again. We
took up Carpenter as a man of good
surroundings, and his praises rang on
the hustings and through the press. To
what end? Utter defeat. We have
not even held the Carpenter to the
work in hand; he has gone back to the
very bosom of Radicalism, and enjoys
the honor of being a most radical
Judge. The Democracy gave their
support to Tomlinson. Even Moses
beat him. We did not prove weary.
We were next Green men, with civil
rights bill attached. It was a big swal
low. The Republicans, with scarcely a
wry face, swallowed us alive. And un
fortunately Governor Perry has dis
covered they were right and we were
wrong. Governor Perry, with a pluck
in his political treatment, worthy of
Hudibras’s Sangrado, insists on the old
line of medication, though the patient
be hopelessly on his last legs.”
The Presidency. —Some hair-splitter
argues that, in case of Grant’s death,
Mr. Kerr would become President.
This idea is based upon Ferry’s Vice
Presidency by proxy not barring the
way of a formally and regularly elected
Speaker of the House. All of this talk
is very well for metaphysical diversion,
but did not the astrologer declare that
the stars had promised Grant life till
he had reached his eighty-fifth year?
Stephens.—Mr. Stephens is to be
Chairman of the Committee on Coins
and Coinage. Is that a squint at specie
payment?
Shearman. —Brother Shearman has
been re-elected Clerk of Plymouth
Church. He has the reputation of be
ing able to shed more crocodile tears
than any man now dwelling on the
globe. _
Alas I—When alive, the famous Irish
patriot, John Mitchel, had a host of
loud-mouthed friends. When dead,
these vociferous cronies proposed to
get up a memorial fund. The balance
on hand is just $7. As Rip Van Win
kle says, “We are soon forgotten when
we are dead.”
The Augusta, (Ga). Constitutionalist thinks
that Southern farms are better places of
Investment than Northern, saving tobacco.
—N. Y. Herald.
We said Southern farms were better
investments than Northern savings
banks. There is an intelligent com
positor even in the Herald office.
The Best of It.—A woman always
gets the better of a man. We read, for
example, that a sharp talking lady was
reproved by her husband, who request
ed her to keep her tongue in her mouth.
“My dear,” she said, “it’s against the
law to carry concealed weapons.”
Good Advice. —“A seal skin vest,
every button of which contained a soli
taire diamond,” was what is said to
have once prompted Commissioner
Douglass to advise Supervisor McDon
ald “to dress more like a white man
and a Christian.”
A Medical Quarrel. — After cutting
Vice-President Wilson’s body into
mince-meat, in order to determine
that he died of apoplexy, ex-Surgeon
General Hammond steps forth to prove
that it was not apoplexy at all, but the
“plugging up of some vessel in the
brain.”
Newspaper Change.—Hon. John H.
Martin and Thos. K. Wynne have be
come joint proprietors of the Columbus
Times. For many years, Mr. Martin
edited the Enquirer with signal ability.
In his card to the public he states that
he has made this change in the hope
of bettering his condition. After nine
teen years of editorial service, laboring
hard and living frugally, he found him
self worse off than when he started.
We sincerely trust that the future has
in store for our old friend a thousand
blessings and abundance of prosperity.
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

of the Georgia Railroad and Banking Com
pany, held on Tuesday, the 14th of Decem

ENDOWMENT INSURANCE AT LIFE
RATES.
Low Premiums—Definite Con
tracts.
The Cotton States Life Insurance Com
pany, of Macon. Ga., desirous of meeting
the demand uf the insuring public for low
rates, and contracts that can be under
stood by all, offers the
Endowment Life-Rate Policy,
With confidence that an examination of the
plan is all that is necessary to commend it
to the favor of all desiring insurance.
This plan secures two objects:
Ist. It p rovides for those dependent upon
us in the event of death.
2d. It provides for our old age in case
we attain a stipulated age.
The low rate of premiums, and the fact
that the insurance is payable within the
ordinary period of life, makes it
The Most Desirable Fi rm of
Policy Now Offered
the Public.
The premium is as low as the usual life
premium where the insurance is payable
only at death, or the age of ninety, and
the time for payment of the insurance
ranges from the age of 61 to 73 years, or at
death if prior. This period may be short
ened at any time, at the option of the in
sured, by additional payments for that
purpose.
To illustrate the difference between this
plan and the usual endowments, the fol
lowing is sufficient:
In all Mutual Companies the ordinary
premium at age 41, payable at age 68, is
$42.75 per SI,OOO.
The premium on Endowment-Life-Rate
plan at age 41, payable at age 68, is $32.47
per thousand dollars. Showing a saving
of Twenty-five per Cent, to the Policy
Holder.
Reasons for insuring on the
Endowment Life-Rate Plan :
Ist. It gives the insurance at the lowest
possible cost.
2 i. It provides for your family in case of
death.
3d. It provides for yourself in old age.
4th. There can be no loss. In case pre
miums should be discontiuued, paid-up in
surance is given for the amount paid in
premiums.
sth. It is better than a savings bank.
The first premium paid secures a fortune,
and if pa> ments are continued the accu
mulations and amount insured will be
much more than could bo earned by the
most fortunate savings bank.
6th. It secures the amount at a stipulated
age, within the ordinary period of life: and
7th. By this means it is no longer neces
sary to “ die to win.”
