Tie Oldest Democratic Paper in the
State of Georgia .
CURRENT TOPICS.
Grant is politically dead. He is lying in
StaW.— Courier-Journal.
Bob Ingersoll doesn’t know which
makes him maddest, God or Grover.
State sovereignty is a thing of the past;
returning-board sovereignty is a thing of
the present.— Baltimore Gazette.
If Feed Grant succeeds his father,
there will be no more evening papers in the
United States.
Much credit is due the minority for thus
far sparing Uncle Samuel’s house. They
might have treated it as they did Wade
Hampton’s.— Oourier-Joumal.
Thirty members of Chambbblain’s rump
Legislature have made and will continue
to make their mark. Leastwise, they can
not otherwise sign their names .-Chicago
Times.
Colonel Mosjiy takes occasion to say that
a dispatch representing him as saying that
the President had offered him a command
of troops to secure the inauguration of
Hayes is an unmitigated lie. This calls
for a reply from the Baltimore Gazette.
Homep., who used to make campaign po
etry for the Greeks, says:
Each future day increase of wealth shall
brinj?
And o’er the past oblivion stretch her wing,
Long shall Ulysses in his empire rest.
Among the candidates counted out by
the Louisiana Returning Board was Mr. R.
M. Lusher, Superintendent of Public Edu
cation, the State agent of the Peabody
fund, and a gentleman of high standing
and eminent fitness for the position. The
candidate counted in is an ignorant Ja
maica negro, who, of course, knows noth
ing of the duties of the place and cares less.
The Southern Pacific Railroad coming
East from California will reach Yuman, in
Arizona, on the first of February. This is
a good deal faster than Tom Scott is going
We3t from Texas. Yuman is the place that
is so hot that bad men who die and go to
hell from there send back for their blank
ets —Springfield Republican.
RBuffalo Commercial: “Why doesn’t some
Democratic paper at least say that its
party will be satisfied with the result of
the Presidential contest if the event should
fairly and lawfully place Governor Hayes
instead of Governor Tildes in the White
HoiUse ? ” Simply because nobody, with
the exception of yourself, is fool enough to
question the fact— Courier-Journal.
Judge Bond had the! grace to arrange
that his extraordinary decision could go
up to the United States Supreme Court for
revision. There is no doubt it will be
speedily reversed. But the temporary
point is gained; the Republican jobbery in
South Carolina is upheld by a defiant
stretch of Federal jurisdiction; and it is
not at all unlikely that Bond willfully sac
rificed his judicial knowledge and reputa
tion for his partisan purpose. The last
Federal Judge who attempted the role,
Durell, of Louisiana, fled the bench to
escape impeachment, and Bond is a proper
candidate for a similar retirement from the
bench.—Springfidd Republican.
World : It is not very long ago that
President Grant allowed, if he did not in
stigate, his Secretary of War, Mr. Bel
knap, to make the city of Washington so
disagreeable a residence for Gen. Sheb
max that this high-spirited seldier de
liberately removed his headquarters te St.
Louis. It wil be a curious instance of the
uncertainty of human affairs should Gen.
Sherman on the 4th of March next find
himself empowered to recommend to ex-
President Grant a rapid migration to the
same city, and to see the recommendation
promptly complied with. During a pre
vious residence in St. Louis, ex-Preeihent
Grant Is understood not to have found it a
particularly desirable home.
Richmond Dispatch: Hampton made a
mistake in telegraphing to Mosby as to a
sort of intercessor with the powers at
Washington. He would have as well
telegraphed to Zach. Chandler. Mosby
stooped a little to get through the gate,
and now he has gone so far as to bo a long
way in advance of an intercessor. A man
who hopes to reach GRANTthrough Mosby
must first get somebody to intercede with
Mosby; and when done, even if successful,
the compensation is not by any means a
reward for the labor.
Baltimore Gazette : Senator Patterson,
of South Carolina, writes us a very proper
and respectful letter, in which he emphati
cally denies tha statement published that
his son had taken any part in the recent
troubles in the Palmetto State. He says
that “his son is only eighteen years of age,
is engaged in Washington leamiag the
printing trade, never saw Judge Bond in
his life, has not been absent from Wash
ington for months, has had no possible
communication with Governor Chamber
lain or any one in South Caroliaa, has not
been iu the latter State for over four years,
aad had nothing whatever to do with any
of the existing troubles there.”
Baltimore Gazette: It is evident that
there has been bulldozing in Massachu
setts. Boston went Democratic, and
Worcester, in its recent municipal election,
also went 3 democratic. The Boston Post
points out the fact that Worcester has 10,-
354 voters, of whom only 7,014 went to the
polls. This shows conclusively that nearly
four thousand voters were kept away from
the polls, and that the Democrats carried
the election by bulldozing. This is sound
Kellog logic. We are inclined to think
that the terrorism which kept the Worces
ter Republicans away from the polls wan
the fear of perpetuated Grantish and the
count-in conspiracy. The whole North is
in danger of a bulldoze of this kind. The
Federal Brigadier is rapidly becoming in
the North an object of greater fear and dis
trust than the Confederate Brigadier.
Bt. Louis Times; Political bankruptcy
means financial bankruptcy. If the Re
public Is to be brought to an end, so is
business. Let business men look to it. Po
litical dishonor is sure to end in financial
dishonor. Those who consent to the per
petration of a wrong invite all the evils
that wrong invariably brings in its train.
An anarchical termination of a political
oontest leaves the result of an anarchy,
whether it be submitted to or resisted. A
Mexicanized administration means the
disorder and thriftlessness of Mexico.
I? the fair thing be not done, free
government is a failure, and the
failure of freo government mean* the
destruction of most business interests. It
is high time the merchants and business
men of St. Louis were seriously thinking
of this, and developing some plan of ac
tion. The inauguration of Hayes means
war, panic, a still further depreciation of
values, the stoppage of business, the vaca
tion of stores, the foreclosure of mort
gages, with no purchasers, and fast fol
lowing want and woe. The inauguration
of Mr. Tilden means just the opposite.
is no longer a question of politics, but of
the mighty dollar. It is no longer a ques
tion as to who shall hold Federal offices,
but how those who are not in office shall
obtain bread for themselves and families.
The red-hot Radical papers, like the
Chicago Tribune, Cincinnati Gazette and
New York Times, are delighted with
J3en Hill just now.
Soft Sawder for ihe South from
Hayes & Cos.
The Republican Journals Ea*t and
West are eagerly Catching at Hon. B.
H. Hill’s repotted utterances, in and j
out of caucus. They do so for a double ;
reason. First, because it delights them |
to see any real or supposed, break ip
the councils of the Democratic party,
especially in Congress; and, second,
because they would artfully beguile the j
South ipto the belief that Mr. Hayes, if
inaugurated by any possibilities of
fraud or force, would prove a goodj
kind friend to this section. The New
York Herald is particularly captivated
at this cerulean prospect, and elo
quently calls upon Governor Hayes to
speak out, repudiating Grantism, avow
ing his disconnection with Chandler,
Cameron and Company, and declaring
that the loaves and fishes shall
not be parcelled out among carpet
baggers and scallawags, as of yore,
but bountifully bestowed upon those
“rebels” whom even Grant loves bet
ter (and treats worse) than Northern
Democrats of the old school.
Now we think it foolishness for the
Herald to request Haycs to do this,
and it would be pluperfect folly for
him to comply with the request.
Let us look at this thing.
Suppose Mr. Hayes were to make
any such declaration. Would the
Southern people believe him ? Not
much. They have had some expe
rience of Radical mendacity, for popu
lar effect, and they know just what
such utterances of cheap virtue are
preciesly worth. So, with the possi
ble exception of Mr. Hill and a few
other political acrobats, any such dec
laration from Mr. Hayes would be a
bull against the comet—just that and
nothing else.
Again, Mr. Hayes, if not a born id
lot, would decline such a public mani*
festation of future policy, especially if
he was in earnest and not a mere dra
matic trickster, when he knows that
Grant, Chandler, Cameron & Co—
against whom he is to fulminate—hold
him and his destinies in the hollow of
their hands. Let him speak any such
words as the Herald urges, and the
thunderbolt would fall upon him with
crushing force.
Suppose Mr. Hayes should condemn
Grantism. By that very act he would
condemn, in the most damning manner,
himself and the mode by which he was
flagitiously elected. He would be the
most consummate Dogberry that ever
wrote himself down an ass and a vil
lain : The Springfield Republican sees
this clearly and disposes of it effectu
ally when it says ; “If Mr. Hayes is to
reject the Kelloggs and Packards, and
the policies of which they are the
architects and instruments, and call to
his side the Wade Hamptons and La
mars, as the Tribune and the Republi
can believe he will do—how can he
accept the Presidency from the former,
and as the result of their violent acts ?
Practically he is to treat them as
thieves, because they have stolen for
him the power which alone enables
him to dispossess them. If Kellogg &
Cos. are wrong, and Hampton and Lamar
are right, Hayes is not rightfully
elected President. Yet his first acts
as President are to be condemnation
of the Kellogss, and approval of the
Hamptons.”
The Southern people have borne ter
rible grievances. They have, perhaps,
fallen somewhat from their high
estate. They anxiously crave peace
and are sadly in need of prosperity.
But, the day has not yet come when
they can trust a man like Hates ; en
dorse the men by whom he has been
manufactured-, and JuDAS-lik© sell
themselves for messes of pottage
which have no existence in fact and
are eimply put under their noses
fictitiously to tempt them into a be
trayal of their Northern allies and a
final disgrace of themselves.
Wherefore, we do not hesitate to say
that if Hayes is looking to an inaugu
ration or endorsement South,
he is leaning upon a broken reed. The
Southern people, almost to a man, be
lieve Samuel J. Tilden to be the lawful
and Constitutional President-elect, and
they will not abandon his cause, for a
promise of official crumbs, to please
Ren Hill or the newspaper Bohemians,
who are now playing the part of temp
ter in very thin disguise.
If an injustice has been done Mr.
Hill, in this connection, we shall, when
so convinced, hasten to repair it. But
if our readers will turn to the first page
of this morning’s issue they will per
ceive that Mr. Hill’s purpose is more
than suspected by a Richmond paper,
which is without fear and without re
proach.
A year ago, the Washington corres
pondent of the Toledo Blade thus
wrote:
Alexander H. Stephens, a little, pale
morsel of humanity, is in his old quarters
at the National. He is, physically, the
‘lightest weight’ I ever saw, weighing per
haps ninety-five pounds—one of those
physiques which Vicroß Hugo would de
scribe as "a sort of excuse for a soul to re
main upon earth.” He always rides to the
Capitol, and comes to the House of Repre
sentatives leaning on the arm of his Secre
tary, an erect, stalwart young man with
glory of auburn hair.
The same correspondent may refer
Mr. Stephens, a few months hence, as
having been ejected from the House,
by Phil Sheridan, leaning on the arm
of a dumpy corporal of the guard, an
old man with no hair at all.
While some of the papers are look
ing upon Bhn Hill's recent utterances
as “fishy,” and suspecting the Georgia
Congressman of being an Achan ia the
camp, the Springfield Republican de
clares the “singular fact of the situa
tion is, that the really most patriotic
and conservative elements now in ac
tion in the political field are some of
the more prominent of the Southern
and ex-rebel leaders. Ben Hill, of
Georgia ; Lamar, of Mississippi; Wade
Hampton, of South Carolina, and Ran
dall Gibson, of Louisiana, are to-day
earning the nation’s respect, If not its
gratitude, not only by what they are
saying, but by what they are doing to
command peace and to secure justice
through peaceful means.”
Is Ben Hill preparing for a flop
over ?
What Hayes Is.
The Philadelphia Times thus speaks
out; “When Gov. Hayes bowed in hu
miliating silence to the Cameron ba
yonet election programme adopted in
August last, in„contempt of his letter
of acceptance, he taught the country
not to expect any exhibition of stub
born manliness from him. He declared
that he was as a candidate, and would
be as a President, the passive instru
ment of his party leaders; and when he
saw deliberately planned frauds in three
Southern States to give him a false
certificate of election under color of
law, he was not only silent, but he has
sought every excus9 to accept the in
sult to his integrity and the wrong to
the oountry. He might have remem
bered that ambition is seldom a safe
counsellor, and he may have read that
by that sin angels fell. He may be
oome President—so much is possible;
but who would covet the withered chap
lets which must wreathe the crown that
is woven by fraud ?”
Respectfully referred to Ben Hill
for an answer.
Mr. Hill should issue a telegraphic
manifesto, like Mr. Stephens.
Ben Hill asked Fernando Wood a
conundrum about a fifteen inch shell.
Mr. Wood might have asked Ben a
similar question.
According to our Washington tele
grams this morning, Foreign Ambassa
dors are sneering at the Republican
form of government now being run by
Grant, Chandler & Cos.
Mr. Armour, a Republican elector in
Illinois, is an unnaturalized foreigner.
So is Mr. Pughe, a Republican elector
in Pennsylvania. Two more legal
electoral votes for Tilden.
The Springfield Republican says the
Republican organs are talking turkey
to the Southern Democrats very sweet
ly, just now. But, if they mean busi
ness, they had better,begimby insisting
on a recognition of Wade Hampton’s
government in South Carolina. We
call Ben Hill’s attention to this.
Wereadinone of our Northern ex
changes that “Blaine is mad that the
Camerons are knifing in
Pennsylvania. But we are told that
the leading Republican Senators are all
jealous ot Blaine, and will not allow
him to assert himself if they can help
It. He is not having a very good time
in the Senate, and wishes himself back
in the House.” Now, it would be a pity
to send Ben Hill to the Senate and
have him regret that he did not stay in
the House to deodorize Ben Butler.
It seems to be generally believed
that the Radical conspirators keep
Grant In pretty much the condition
they kept Andrew Johnson, when Mrs.
Surratt was condemned to die. Where
upon, the N. Y. Sun sadly remarks that
it would be an interesting climax to our
Centennial year if the people of the
United States should have a President
made for them by a dozen scoundrels
in these Returning Boards, and one
drunkard in.the White House enforc
ing the decrees of the scoundrels.
Mr. Joseph Pulitzer writes from
Washington to the St. Louis Times in
this positive manner: “As sure as
there will be the rising of the sun on
the 4th of March next, Gov. Tilden
will take the oath of office as Presi
dent of the United States on that day.
Whenever and wherever on that day
he takes that [oath he becomes the
only constitutional President of the
United States.lf he chooses to re
main in New York he may do so.
Once elected under the Constitution
there are not] yet bayonets enough in
this country to prevent inauguration.
For inaugurated he will be by the sim
ple takiDg of the oath of office. If the
conspirators count iu Hayes the 4th of
March next will see two Presidents in
stead of one, a majority of the House
of Representatives supporting one,
and a small majority of the Senate
supporting the other.”
Justice Miller, of the United States
Supreme Court, was betrayed Into
very partisan language recently. A
gentleman who knows the Judge, thus
speaks of him :
He is a partisan, hot, bitter and enven
omed. He is a Sir Pebtinax MacStcjo
phant of full blood, and hankered after
the Chief Justiceship as the “hart panteth
for the water brooks.”
To refer the question of a disputed Pres
idency to him would be no batter than to
submit it to Zach Chandler, Icharged
with a quart of whisky, and clad In judicial
robes “in chambers,” with a gallon demi
john of his native fluid within easy reach.
I.do not impeach his judgment, but if I
had a cause for his adjudication I would
take a nonsuit and pay costs.
Perhaps poor Grant, when he said
he did not “care a damn for the Su
preme Court,” had reason for believing
that the packed and partisan Court did
not care a damn for itself. Viewed in
this light, Grant’s offence was not us
rank as it might have been.
