Thursday Morning, Dec. 21, 1876
J. R. RANDALL, Editor.
The Oldest Democratic Paper in the
State of Georgia.
CURRENT TOPICS.
Congressman Walkeb, of Virginia, is the
handsomest man in the House.
As if a lie can not of itself travel fast
enough, the Associated Press favors the
public nearly every day with one of the
New York Times’ special telegrams.—Cbu
rier-JowrnaL
O years omnipotent, O lightly pinioned
hours! . , ,
Ye bear away our tears, our sighs and
our regret,
But pity touches you, and on our faded
flowers
Your feet ye never set.
—Alfred de. Musset.
There is no danger that President Grant
will drive the House of Representatives
into the Potomac. His well known aver
sion to water, if nothing else, would keep
him from propelling them in that direc
tion.— Courier-Journal.
The citizens of the United States are the
greatest coffee drinkers in the world, they
taking one-third of a total coffee crop of
100,000,000 pounds.
The Bangor (Me.) Commercial doesn’t
seem to have learned that a black man is
as good as a white man. It mikes a great
spread over the fact that Tilden had a
majority of over a million in the 7,600,000
white men who voted for President last
month.
Baltimore is rapidly getting to be the
modern Athens. To see her young girls
clipping their five-storied gloves over a
Peabody lecture on the Greek choruses or
the digamma is enough to drive Boston
young womanhood frantic.
Mr. George Opdyke has been tempted
by the scattering of his children and the
ill health of his wife to give up housekeep
ing and to sell his splendid residence on
Fifth avenue. This was among the last
and costliest first-class double houses
built on that avenue before the panic. It
was sold for $190,000, which affords as
good a clew, perhaps, as has lately been
given of the present market value of real
estate in the most eligible quarter of Mur
ray Hill.
The wisest and the tenderest of men are
continually making blunders in their rela
tions with women; especially if they are so
unfortunate as to occupy in any sense a
position involving a relation to two women
at once. The relation may b© ever so
rightful and honest to each woman. The
women may be good women, and in their
right places; but the man will find himself
perpetually getting into most unexpected
h >t water, as many a man could testify
p vthetically if he were called upon— From
“Mercy Filbricu's Choice.”
It is appalling to read in the Intcr-Ocean
that Uncle Samuel is di inking very hard,
and that he will die in a mad-house. But,
after all, the 1.-O. is unnecessarily alarmed.
Grant and Chandler have been drinking
deeply for years, and yet those two great
statesmen are with us, and represent the
“morality” and “intelligence” of a large
political party.— Courier-Journal.
The following explanation of the new
Washington intoxicant, Newman’s Hot
Scotch, is given in the Capital : “When the
Rt. Rev. Consul General John P. Newman
returned from his consular tour of Europe,
he brought a case of ver>*fine Scotch whis
ky. and traded it to the Willard House for
sherry. And so we took in a wine glass of
the true Newman spirit, and, while there is
a pious duty in John P., we will wager a
hat there was none on the whisky.”
Sherman Bros., intimidators and bull
dozers; manufacturers of outrages, spec
tators of counts,!and dealers in all articles
usually required by Returning Boards,
Washington, D. C. This firm has long been
in the employ of the Government, and
gives particular attention to over-taxed lo
calities. Refers to the Farwells, of Chi
cago ; his Excellency Governor Kellogg,
of Louisiana; Hon. O. P. Morton, of In
diana; Colonel R. G. Ingeksoll. of Illi
nois, and many other equally reputable
persons.-- Courier-Journal.
Grant and Hayes seem to have swapped
characters in the matter of talk. Grant,
who for eight years has been almost as
silent as an oyster, has recently been “slop
ping over” in speeches to committees and
in autobiographical sketches in his Con
gress messages. Hates, on the contrary,
finds that his only safety consists in si
lence. When urged to talk he makes
a;ways a piteous beg-off, or says nothing
in elaborate namby-pambyness. Only this
much can be made out of his. recent inter
view : That he is ready to accept the re
sults of the corrupt count-in should they
b) offered to him.— Baltimore Gazette.
Patbizi was the oldest'eardinal in office,
dean of the college, judge of the Court of
Borne, and Vicar-General of the Pope. He
was a member of the noble family of Na
vo-Patbizi, and influential by his aristo
cratic connection and his learning, piety
and virtue. His name has been mentioned
during the past year as’lthe probable suc
cessor of Pius IX. The Pope is out-living
all the old cardinals.
The Hates organs are laughing over
what they call "the farce of Wade Hamp
ton’s inauguration.” They may laifgb,
but Hampton is not the man to say “I will
be Governor,” in vain. He is the kind of
man who, legally elected Governor, will
stick in such a way that tho bayonets of
Mr. Gbant can not intimidate him. It
would be in accordance with the eternal
fitness of things for the Hates’ partisans
to take up a subscription to furnish Cham
beblain with moans to get back to Massa
chusetts, whither he will doubtless return
ere long.
Under tho new methods now in vogue
Hates would be compelled to recognize
the following individuals in his Cabinet:
Secretary of state, Benjamin Eggle
ston, of Ohio.
Secretary of the Treasury, Steabns, of
Florida.
Secretary of War, Mr. Cabdozo, (colored)
of the South Carolina Returning Board.
Secretary of the Navy, William Mc-
Mullen, of Pennsylvania.
Secretary of the Interior, Thomas H
Rpgeb, of Wisconsin.
Postmaster-General, Mr. Carzenave
(colored), of the Louisiana Returning
Board.
Attorney-General, John I. Davenpobt,
of New York.
It seems to be an unlucky thing to repre
sent Nevada in the Senate. Senator Ntb
didn’t have much when he came, and had
less when he left the Senate. Mr. Stewabt
was worth several millions when he came,
and was what the Pacific slopers call
’ broke" when he vacated. John P. Jones
the silver Senator,” came ia with a fortune
of many millions of dollars, but tackled
ice-machines and Wall street, and now they
say he is "busted.” And now comes Sha
bon ; that Is, he has been elected and says
he is coming soon. When he was elected
he had a silver mine that had “millions in
it,” and poor, genial, witty Senator Nte
said that he had no chance of a re-election
because a silver mine was running against
him. And now. Pacific coast people tell us
that Shason is “busted!” There’s a moral
in all this-if the stories are all true. Don’t
own a silver mine if you don’t want to be
come “busted.” Better, by far, buy de
positor’s books on the Freedman’s Savings
Rank.— Capital.
The Pole-Star of Principle—Can the
South Afford to Sell ?
The Nashville American noticing
that the report ia revived and discuss
ed in the New York Herald, that Haves
is about to consult with Southern lead
ers with a view to a compromise by
which he shall be counted in and the
Cabinet positions and other offices di
vided between the Southern Democrats
and Republicans, speaks these glowing
and glorious words : “Can the South
afford an act of perfidy and self-abase
ment for a temporary advantage, to a
few leading politicians and office-seek
ers? Can she afford even to purchase
tranquility and freedom from oppres
pression at such a price ? In all the
course of the South for the past twenty
years, during which she has played
such a prominent part as an actor,
sublime in energy and heroism, and as
a patriotic sufferer, grand in endurance,
not a stain of dishonor has attached.
Perhaps not wisely but with heroic de
votion, and with honor, the South
bore the banner of the dead Con
federacy in victory and laid it away
unsoiled in the hour of defeat. In
disaster she submitted without dis
honor, and turned with honorable
patriotism to give unreserved fealty to
the conquering government, and to
make the United States a great and
prosperous country. Amid the wreck
of fortunes, the poverty of the once
affluent, the misery and ruin caused by
war and in spite of ambition for place
and honor, which found no means of
gratification, the people of the South
have adhered steadily to principle,
and looked forward for the advantages
sure to accrue in the end to principle
steadily adhered to. No people on
earth ever maintained such a dignified
reserve in the face of the temptations
offered by the conquering power. The
rewards of perfidy and desertion were
certain, and yet the South has had but
few Longstreets and Mosbys. The
number of prominent men who have
deserted could be told on the fingers.
The Southern people enshrine the ex
ample of Lee; and Jackson— honor in
carnate—the one a living reality as sub
lime as the ideal Washington —tho
other the example of the stern
est adherence to principle—both exam
ples for all time of the calmest, noblest
endurance, and the strictest observ
ance of the most delicate honor. Let
the men whose short-sighted selfish
desire for ease and comfort or office
and emolument, ask whether those no
ble exemplars would have accepted
ease with dishonor and abandonment
of principle, or whether they would not
have scorned such means to the best
end. We are aware how easily
and flippantly a short-sighted and nar
row-minded selfishness can ridicule an
appeal to the better sense by spelling
honor “onak,” and urging a making
the best of circumstances. But truth
and principle are safe guides : who
ever departs from their lines on the
chart for any temporary advantage or
any seeming good will not often
obtain the temporary advantage, while
they sacrifice the real good which
accrues to every man who pursues
truth. The Republican party is despe
rate. Hayes would be glad to have the
Southern people sustain his usurpa
tion. It is an evidence of weakness at
the North, and indicates that perhaps
they will not dare to pursue their de
signs to extreme measures. The South
ern people will not sell out, nor will
they endorse any leader who attempts
it, nor do we believe any leader will
venture to trade away the opinions
and principles of his people or agree to
uphold and promote usurpation for his
own advancement.
“Mr. Hayes is defeated by the peo
ple. If he takes the office let him
take it cum onere, with all the burden
of dishonor attached, to drag out a
miserable official existence consciously
disgraced, and to retire smelling foully
in the nostrils of all honest men. That
usurpation and the correction which
must come some time in the future, we
can endure. Compounding with usur
pation would prove a lasting infamy,
our first venture in dishonor, the first
stain attached to the Southern people
and their ultimate ruin. We cannot
afford it in one point of view or an
other, moral or material, if Mr. Hayes
were honestly elected, or if we believed
he was honestly elected, then to sup
port his administration, or to support
his claim to the office, would be a dif
ferent thing. As it is, it would be a
baseness ana a perfidy of the very
blackest dye. Honor, liberty, self-in
terest, all call loudly upon us to resent
the offer with scorn, as an insult to a
people who have never yet dishonored
themselves.”
Scribner.
Messrs. Scribner & Cos., of New York,
have two periodicals which are the Lest
of their kind in this country, if not in
the world. We allude to their monthly
magazine and St. Nicholas. The Janu
ary numbers are before us and they are
“gems of purest ray serene.” The let
ter-press is perfection itself; the en
gravings unsurpassed, and the literary
department brilliant, wholesome, varied
and suited to all tastes. St. Nicholas is
specially adapted for boys and girls,
and it is indeed a treasury of innocent
and valuable knowledge. We cordially
recommend these periodicals and know
of no Christmas gift, for old and young
alike, better than a year’s subscription
to them.
The Constitution says the Maryland
and Virginia boundary question has
nearly reached a conclusion before the
arbitrators, Governor Jenkins being
the umpire. Judge BLAck and Senator
Beck are the Commissioners. Judge
Black is engaged in writing the opin
ion, which will be very lengthy. The
award will be in favor of Maryland,
and will give that State the control of
the fisheries of the Potomac river, and
the .valuable oyster privileges about
which there has been so much dispute
in the past.
Tilden is a lawyer, Mr. Hill. That
is the kiad of lawyer the South wants
for President.
No taxation without lawful represen
. tation,
What the Radicals Expect.
We find in the correspondence of the
Baltimore American what purports to
be the Radical programme for forcing
Hayes on the country and how the
forcing process is expected to be taken.
We are told that “the two Houses will
meet In the Senate chamber in Febru
ary to count the Electoral votes. The
presiding officer of the Senate will pro
ceed, In his ministerial capacity, to
count the same and declare the result.
Objections to the vote of any State will
not be entertained. The House will de
mur, withdraw to its chamber and
elect Tilden. The Senate will declare
Hayes elected. The result would be,
probably, one or two indignation meet
ings in several of the large cities, pos
sibly a row in one or more of them,
and then the temper of the disappoint
ed party would cool off to await tho
developments of the Fourth of March.
Meanwhile, the Southern men, anxious
for peace and good government at
home, will accept what will be the in
evitable, and join with
in announcing their fealty to the ad
ministration of Governor Hayes, This
would be a set-back to the Northern
fire-eaters; the result would In tho end
be acquiesced in, and the outcome, it is
thought, would be the reorganization
of tho Republican party, out of the
best Democrats of the South and the
Republicans of the North, throwing
overboard the refuse material wiiich
has grown up with Grantism.”
Avery fine plan no doubt and des
tined to work well, if permitted. How
the Northern Democracy will act, we
know not, nor do we greatly care to
saddle them with unsolicited advice.
We repeat what we have said, on many
occasions,that the South drifts—awaits
events—and will be guided entirely by
circumstances as they may arise. We
are not desirous of a civil war and can
not be goaded into any each rash act.
The South fought for Constitutional
Liberty and the lawful Rights of the
States. Her military honor is safe
beyond cavil. She has suffered
for many years the assaults
of Imperialists and Cen
tralists, until there is little left of the
free institutions she sought so valiant
ly, but so vainly, to preserve. The
onus of rescuing the country is now
put upon the people of tho North.
The South’s civic honor, as well as
military, is safe. Nothing can touch it.
It remains for the freemen of the East
and West, who now must have their
eyes open to their danger, to provide
the proper methods of relief.
But one thing may be said boldly,
and that is the South will not abandon
her Northern allies and make any com
promise with the common enemy. If
Mr. Hayes or his friends are buildiDg
any hopes on such a foundation, they
had better ceaso their labor, for it will
not produce even a mouse.
The mistake made by Mr. Hill, we
think, with all due respect for him, is
that he has, however unintentionally,
given aid and encouragement to the
enemy of his section and the deadly
foe of that Union which he has so elo
quently announced himself tho cham
pion. He has committed a capital
faux pas, at a time when it
was most essential to his ambition that
he should have been eminently dis
creet, and made it possible for his
political adversaries to repeat what
was once wittily said of him that he is
“bold when he ought to be prudent,
and prudent when he ought to be bold.”
The almost unanimous voice of the
Democracy of Georgia repudiates bis
reported opinions, and the people will
be glad to have them explained or
disavowed.
Did not Mr. Hill, in 1870-71, after
writing his Notes on the Situation, urge
a different plan of action in Georgia,
which would have thrown all the Dem
oeratic fat in the lire? Is not his
present course on that same old line ?
Quebt. — Who is most probably
“courting favor”—the man who declares
Hayes’ administration would be “an ad
ministration inaugurated by fraud and
or the man who would
advise a friendly acceptance of such
an administration ? Perhaps the Athens
Georgian might be able to answer this
question.
Ben Hill expects much from Hayes—
Jf inaugurated—because he is a law
yer. There are many good lawyers,!
and to the law we look for redress;
still, a lawyer who gains his seat by the
wiles of Taft and Bond, and is led by
the nose by Chandler, Sherman, Came
ron and Mobton may suit Ben Hill,
but not the men of the South who have
always been Democrats and always
meant to be so.
