Cflje Constitutionalist 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.

Policies Upon All the Various Plans of Insurance. All Policies Non-Forfeitable—Strictly a Home Company, with its capital and in vestments at home. 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.” Endowments at Life Rates.
