Saturday Momimt. December 83,17-
J. R. RANDALL, Editor.
The Oldest Democratic Paper in the
State of Georgia.
CURRENT TOPICS.
A. H. Stephens, of Georgia, says he
feels much better In Washington than
when at home.
It takes a good deal of reserve piety to
make a man smile while he Is eating a
church fair stew.- Hartford Times.
Apropos to the political situation, the
Nation says : “As we look into the vat we
hear psalm* singing, but smell brimstone.
‘ Ben Hill,” says the Cincinnati (hmmer
rial, “prefers Hayes to Grant ” The frogs
preferred the fire to the frying-pan, but
the views of those frogs upon the advan
tages of the change have never been ascer
tained.— Nashville American.
All of the new scenes in the new play of
“Daniel Bruce,” to be produced at
Booth’s theatre, have been saturated with
anew chemical solution whereby an acci
dent by lire is rendered absolutely impos
sible. Experiments made show that the
liro will not even scorch them.
A few days ago Count Gaston de Les
trade, a French officer of hussars, was
about to marry a Millo Ejiilie de Bklle
roY. a young and strikingly beautiful girl.
On the eve of the marriage the settlements
were drawn up and signed and the notary
was advancing to salute the betrothed
when she foil dead of heart disease.
Lord Beaconfield’s father, Isaac Disra
eli, withdrew from the Jewish commu
nion in 1814, and so determined the future
of his gifted son. Iu that year Isaac was
fined forty pounds for refusing to serve as
a waiden in a synagogue, and, refusing to
pay, was denied by two or throe votes the
Immunity he demanded. He then cut loose
from the religious body in which he was
born and never after affiliated with it.
Another version of the Pinkston case is
given in a letter to a well-known physician
of this city from a relative—a prominent
cotton factor in New Orleans. The writer
says: “Governor McEnery told me last
night that the woman Eliza Pinkston
was never hurt by any one. Her bruise*
are burns, she having fallen into the lire
when drunk anil asleep, and perhaps you
have noticed that no examination of her
has been made by a physician.”
Ihe New York Sun says one of the re
sults of the recent centennial exposition is
that country merchants find great difficul
ty in collecting the debts due them. The
money that should have gone to pay store
accounts has been spent in railroad fare
and hotel bills, and now the ingenious rus
tics who have seen the great show have
nothing left. Some even mortgaged their
farms and furniture to raise money for the
trip, and must wait for future crops and
extrication. At least this is the story told
in commercial circles in New York.
Gen. Joe Sheley, ex-Confederate, is evi
dently in want of an office. Nothing short
of this could have made him announce
himself as ready in advance to defend any
usurpation or revolution that Grant
might attempt. This is practically what
the Rebel seems ready to do. Perhaps Joe
Shelby has observed with admiration how
well Mosby gets along with Grant, and he
is ready also to wag his tail when Grant
pats him. We have a deep-seated suspi
cion that Gen. Joe Shelby, ex-Confederate,
is a fraud.— Baltimore Gazette.
And this is what they say in Washington
of Mr. Orton’s virtuous indignation. Says
the Star (Republican): The time to have
lifted up his voice with most effect was a
few years ago, when, under a Republican
Congress, access to the dispatches in the
telegraph office was demanded and allow
ed, in tho hope of catching Democrats in
some mischief or other. Yet we do not
remember that Mr. Orton struggled very
violently then, as he ought to have done.
A truly virtuous woman is likely to cry
out before she is outraged the third or
fourth time.
World: Would it not be well for Mr. Ben.
Hill, of Georgia, to define his position
between the friends of constitutional gov
ernment who think the election of Mr.
Tildes' or Mr. Hayes subordinate to the
i e-establishment of local self-govern
ment throughout the Union, and the
friends of centralization, who look with
disgust and dread upon the prospect of
seeing the Federal Government given over
for four years to the control in the name
of Mr. Hayes, of the two Shermans, one of
whom indorses Madison Wells as a lit
person to cast the Presidential vote of
Louisiana, and the other of whom orders
troops into Virginia at the request of a
“gentleman from tho Attorney-General’s
office ?"
McDuffie Journal: In the light of Mr
Hill s past political record, these expres
sions of opinion are quite significant, and
will prepare his admirers for his next
summersault. We have been soundly be
rated for what is termed our captious and
unreasonable opposition to Mr. Hill, and
our persistent unbelief in his political in
tegrity; but time will prove that his match
less genius is only a gauzy color for inor
dinate ambition, disgusting egotism, and
unreliable principles. Mark this predic
tion: If Hayes is inaugurated President,
Ben Hill will be one of his most active
and zealous advocates and supporters.
Neirs and Courier : We kuow that it is the
settled conviction of the wealthiest mer
chant in Charleston that 710 person cent,
u>ith safety to himself, pay taxes to the Cham
berlain Government. This feeling, with
Kood reason, will control the actions of
those who pay the heaviest taxes, and per
sons acting in a fiduciary capacity will
necessarily take the same course. Until
the State Courts have decided that the
Chamberlain Government is the legally
constituted Government of South Carolina
not a cent of taxes can be collected, except
from those who desire to give aid and eom
rortt to Mackey, Elliott and Chambeb
lain. And no such decision can be made
while the ruling of the Supreme Court,that
the Wallace House is “the legally con
stituted House of Representatives of South
Carolina,’’ stands like a barrier of adamant
in the path of the public plunderer. Fel
low-citizens! You can starve out the
thieves. You can break the Chambeblain
usurpation, while building up your own
fortunes, You can, as property holders
and tax-payers, secure the triumph of law
and ensure peaceful and equal rule under
Hampton and Simfson. Will you do it?
if so. speak out in mass meetings, and do
not mince words.
Philadelphia Times: The party organs
which only a month ago impaled tho
Southern Democrats upon their pens as
he incarnation pf unrepentant treason
have now discovered that these gentlemen
are marvelous proper persons. Mr Ben-
Hill m particular, who was so long used
as a scarecrow by stump speakers, fs now

alizatfbu of the importance of dividing the
opposition arc more potent than any other
iniluence in this case. With the incidents
of the late campaign fresh in memory, the
S jutbern Democrats receive their uew
suitors coyly, and it must be confessed
that just at lids time the contemplated
alliance would ha vs the air of) a marriage
of convenience. No need to hurry the
nuptials. After the new President is seat
ed, both parties will be in a better frame of
mind for the consideration of the matter.
Rumors of a Compromiser
We find the following special dispatch
in the News and Courier of Thursday :
Washington, Wednesday Evening, De
cember 20.—The Earning Star, the most
widely circulated newspaper in Washing
ton, nominally independent, but really
strongly Republican in polities, is known
for the accuracy and shrewdness of Its
forecastings of the political situation. It
looks sharply to the main chance, and is
seldom mistaken in its coflclusions as to
which way the wind is blowing. In its
issue of this evening it closes an article on
tho situation with these words:
“There is a growing impression that the
Senate will not insist upon the right of the
President pro tempore of the Senate to de
clare the result, if objections to the vote of
any States are made, and that the end will
be the election of Tilden as President by the
House, and Wheeler as Vice-President by the
Senate."
From the flourish made over this
purported discovery, the guileless
reader might suppose that it is a nov
elty on the part of the Washington
Star. In point of fact this is not so.
Nearly a month ago, we republished
from the New York Freeman's Journal,
edited by James A. McMaster, a pow
erful article forecasting this very re
sult. If anybody is entitled to credit
for this prediction Mr. McMaster holds
the pre-eminent claim.
New England Bull-Dozing.
Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, re
plying to Senator Thurman, declared
with some warmth, the other day, that
there was no political intimidation of
working men in New England, at least
among the Republican manufacturers.
We shelved how the Saco Machiue
Company “bull-dozed” their opera
tives, and now comes the Hartford
Times, which, upon being challenged
for proof that “bull-dozing” gave
Hayes 2,000 votes promptly gives it:
“We are informed that in almost every
factory owned by Republicans the
workmen were made to understand
that they must vote the Republican
ticket or else lose their places. In
Meriden employers stood at the polls
to see that their orders were obeyed.
In New Britain intimidation of this
sort was open and general; over 200
Germans were “bull-dozed” at Rock
ville, and the same is alleged of Thomp
sonville, Thompson and other towns.
In the Norwich district the Republican
organ openly called upon Republican
mill owners to control their employees.
Moreover, it is alleged that
tics were deliberately planned and en
forced by the Republican State Com
mittee.” After this showing the Times
defies refutation, and exultingly ex
claims: “Now if there is any authenti
cated case of Democratic coercion of
workmen ia Connecticut, let us see it.”
The Baltimore Gazette speaks the
overwhelming sentiment of the Union
in these words : “The people of South
Carolina have endured the outrageous
burdens heaped upon them by the Re
publican Administration with a genu
ine heroism. They have elected a
State government with Wade Hampton
at the head by a majority of the votes
actually cast at the recent election, and
looked with confidence to the relief
which would thus be provided for
them. But Grant again stands across
the way to prosperity and peace, sword
in hand, and declares that the usurper
Chamberlain and his bogus Legislature
shall be sustained. Chamberlain’s so-,
called goveinment would not stand 24
hours deprived of the support of
bayonets. It is inimical to the best in
terests of the people, white and black;
it is an organized system of robbery; it
has no legal right to existence in the
State. It is no wonder, then, that the
people will not recognize it. They
should never recognize it. Preferable
far is a military government, with
Chamberlain out of the way, especially
when in seventy-five days the iniqui
tous perversion of government, called
Grantism, expires by limitation, and
Mr. Tilden will be at the head of na
tional affairs. At the expiration of that
period the bayonets will be withdrawn
and the unnatural rule of aliens will
fall before the rightful and constitu
tional government. The people of
South Carolina can afford to suffer
until the hour -of deliverance next
March.”
General Francis Bablow, having
most reluctantly testified that Tilden
carried Florida, has won the esteem of
good men of all parties, and met with
the scorn and calumny of bad Repub
licans. . A Washington correspondent
says when Senator Morton was asked
about what jie thought of General
Barlow’s letter in regard to the Flori
da electors, he stated that he had not
read it, but upon being informed of the
substance of it said: “That is just
what was to be expected from a man
who tried to sell out. The President
should never have sent such a man
down there.”
We advise Morton to read it. It
will enlighten him. Gen. Barlow is a
man of honor, and was a brave soldier.
That is more than can be said of Mor
ton. If Grant really sent Gen. Bar
low to Florida, in the hope that he
would prove a trickster, like Sherman
and Stoughton, he certainly mistook his
man.
Mr. Lamar, of Mississippi, informed
a correspondent of the Baltimore Ga
zette, the other day, that he believed
unequivocally that Tilden was elected,
and that he would be duly inaugurated
the sth of March next. He thought
some sort of compromise would be
effected to produce this result, and
that there would be a peaceable sub
mission to it by the Republicans. Just
what that compromise would be he did
not suggest. Regarding the contuma
cious' operators in Louisiana, he said
that in his opinion they could and
ought to be compelled to give up all
telegrams bearing upon the subject of
investigation.
The Prophetic Power of Calhoun.
It is impossible to read the later
speeches of Mr. Calhoun and not be
astonished at their wisdom and presci
ence. He clearly foresaw the troubles
brewing for tills Union when the “in
fernal fanatics and abolitionists,” as
Daniel Webster called them, should be
elevated to power. The present crisis
in our affairs is thus sketched in Cal
houn’s work on the Constitution and
Government of the United States :
“The vast power and patronage of
the department are vested in a sin
gle officer, the President of the United
States. Among these powers the most
important, as far as relates to the pres
ent subject, are those which appertain
to the administration of the Govern
ment; to the office of the commander
in chief of the army and navy of the
United States; to the appointment of
the officers of the Government, with
few exceptions and to the removal of
them at his pleasure—as bis authority
has been interpreted by Congress.
These, and especially the latter, have
made his election the great and ab
sorbing object of party struggles ; and
on this the appeal to force will be
made, whenever the violence of the
struggle and the corruption of parties
will no longer submit to decision
of the ballot-box. To this end it must
come, if the force impelling it to the
other direction should not previously
prevail. If it comes to this it will be
in all probability in a contested elec
tion, when the question will be, which
is the President ? The incumbent if he
should be one of the candidates—or if
not the candidate of the party in pos
session of the power ? Or of the party
endeavoring to obtain possession ?
On such an issue the appeal to force
would make a candidate of the suc
cessful party master of the whole--and
not the commander, as would be the
case under different circumstances.
“The contest would put an end virtu
ally to the elective character of the de
partment. The form of election might
for a time be preserved; but the ballot
box would be much loss relied on for
the decision than the sword or the bay
onet. In time even the form would
cease, and the successor be appointed
by the incumbent ; and thus the abso
lute form of a popular would end in
the absolute form of a monarchial
government.”
A Mare’s Nest.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette has talked with a so-called
native Georgia Whi*, and the so-called
Whig Georgian has pulled the wool
over the eyes of his interviewer or else
lied most unblushingly. This Georgian
proclaims his hope that in the South
the old Whig element will yet reassert
itself under the banner of “ Equal
Rights and National Unity.”
*******
He thinks Tilden’s] rule would be
worse for them than Jeff Davis’. If
the latter were installed and the Con
federacy recognized, there would no
longer be any inducement for the old
fire-eater class to attack them; they
would submit at once, take the oath,
and be citizens of anew country, aud
be done with it. With Tilden the fight
would still be kept up, the Republicans
at a great disadvantage. With Hayes
as President, if he made good appoint
ments to the Federal offices, the old
Union element could be reorganized at
once, and would include at least one
third, probably one-half, of tho white
men of the State. The old Whig ele
ment Is there, just as strong in propor
tion as it ever was. It has never been
perfectly at home in the Democratic
party. Give a good administration
and a fair election law, aud it will re
assert itself.
We frankly warn the Gazette against
any such wild talk. It is mere vapor
ing. The old Whigs of tho South are
among the most vigorous foes of Rad
icalism. If Mr, Hayes and his
friends think to make any capital out
of such talk, they are welcome to do
so. But they reckon without their
host. The old Whigs cannot be bought
or bribed, and what is more they will,
under no circumstances, endorse the
putative administration of a Returning
Board President.
The New York Sun, in the light of
investigations now progressing in
South Carolina, Louisiana and Florida,
says it is not improbable that before
the second Wednesday in February the
fact that there really are 203 valid elec
toral votes for Tilden will be made so
evident that all Republicans who de
sire to maintain a reputation for com
mon honesty among their fellow men
will be compelled to admit it.
If the Democrats compromise on
Tilden and Wheeler, Mr. Hendricks
would have his choice of any place in
the gift of the Administration, and
would succeed Tilden, four years
hence, as President, provided Uncle
Sam should be permitted to survive his
term of office.
The Coosa river is now lower than
at any time since 1855.
