CP)£ Cjwtstitutioiiniist ftdeat Democratic Paper in Georgia. A t •' ■‘. -!. J. R. RANDALL, Editor. AUGUSTA. GA.: Sunday Morning, February 18, 1877. CURRENT TOPICS. Tlio Texas newspaper that calls itself Ihe Jimplecute will regret to learn that there is a Pee Dee Bee in North Carolina, and a Chesapeake Chesapike in Maryland. Mqt.tkf. is not jealous of Grant, but a chastened expression has been sitting upon his fine visage ever since Madison W ells spoke of the American hero as “the great est living general.”— Courur-Joumal. A correspondent asks us to remind Con gressman Mobkison that In the game of forty-five the seven spot always beats the eight. But we fear Congressman Morri son will reply that this ien’t the game of forty-ti vo.—Bprinafidd Republican. A Kepublican who speaks “by the card’’ siys the.odds are in favor of Hates before the Tripartite Commission, because he finds nothing in VIH, bCHENCK, chap. 2, sec. 1, to show wherein “sevens” were ever known to beat “eights.” Yes, it is a farce ! The second act hss just begun. One more—with the scene in Oregon—and the performance will be over- That jolly French burlesque, “Trial by Jury,” is no greater farce than this per foi mance, so far as its result is concerned. But of this more anon. Let us only hope that we are mistaken in the character of the play, as many play-goers often are. It may be no farce, but a tragedy.— N. Y. Sun. A good example for long-winded lawyers and judges was afforded in an insurance suit tried before Judge Dalt at New York on Tuesday. The plaintiff’s couns* 1 summed up in four sentences, tbe de f udant’s counsel said he didn’t want to b >re the jury with any more remarks, ti e judge merely said, ‘if you believe the p aiuliff, you will find a verdict in his fa vor. and the jury so found without leaving their seats—all In less than three minutes from the conclusion of the evidence. The main trouble is that the Democrats are without a consulting head. The rank and-file have faith in Hbwitt. He has too many bonds and too much dyspepsia to view the situation from a practical sand point. Col. Phlton is here, but bis jidgment is as vapid as a school girl’s o imposition. If he didn’t happen to be a nephew of his uncle, he would be too small a factor lu the squabble to be seen through a microscope. It needs a man of biain and nerve to sail the ship. The head for the oecasion is wanting, although the small fry think they could manage affairs if giv en the chance.— Washington Special to Cin cinnati Enquirer. Though the Commission will have re fused by a majority of one vote to enquire whether Tilden carried the States of Flor ida and Louisiana, and whether the Hayes electors were counted in by fraud, theie will bo before the whole country such com plete and overwhelming proof of those facts that none but the most ignorant or shameless partisans will even pretend to dispute them. If Hates enters the White House, such will be his title to occupy it. Time will not cure its defects or change its qualities. Holding under a title tainted with fraud, he will De xcown L. hk>wi>y the Fraudulent President—AT. Y. Sun. Whether the Electoial Tribunal shall count in Hayes or determine tbe issue in favor of lilden It has exposed the u tter rottenness of the country. It has shown that the Supreme Court is a pointed fraud, and that our politics are constitute 1 of but two elements—corruption and cowardice; and, if the forebodings of the people are not unfounded, it will speedily do for the National Democratic party what fifteen years of adversity and defeat could not do —it will destroy it. Some of the leaders who have been truest to it, we are told, are making combinations in anticipation of the fraudulent counting in of Hayes; several of the Southern States, which have hereto fore trusted in and stood by it through weary years of oppression, are asking these significant questions, “Where are we #to stand?’’ “What hope, what rest, what justice, can the peace for which the Nation al Democracy is willing to surrender this victory give us?” -N. O. Democrat. The indications are quite positive that tke Democrats in Congress, even if the majority of the Commission do bulldoze the Presidency, are not going to get up a row over it. It is too late for such talk, and the double-leaded manifestoes that some valorous journals are leading to the winds are just so much chaff. To knock the Commission in the head now, and de clare Tildes elected by the House, means nothing short of war. Men may fight be fore they submit their controversy to arbi tration, but mqp are not much disposed to fight after such submission. It is safe to predict that whoever the Commission counts in will go in quietly. These people who are unfurling their dread standard to the breeze now should have enlisted eooner Thw Commission will sail on smoothly though it be through exceedingly dirty water. The war cloud haw drifted away, and the journalists of the country might as well write quiet editorials and have them set up with single leads.— Courier- Journal. Mr. Wilson virtually confesses that African citizenship has thus far been a failure,and attributes the failure to “causes that lie too deep to be reached by law.” He calls it the result of “a disease for which as yet no adequate remedy has been prescribed, or if prescribed, has not been provided.” It will be difficult, we tb ink, to make those who are to come after us be lieve that the men who forced African citi zenship upon the country did not deliber ately smother reason, common sense and experience in reckless partisanship. They certainly could not have thought that an inferior race, degraded and debased by nearly two centuries of servitude, with all the Ignorance,servility and stupidity which hereditary serfdom brings—were fit to be lifted in a single day to the topmost round of political manhood. They cer tainly could not have thought that no pro bation, no preliminary preparation was needed to strip this tremendous change of all danger. If not Idiots or madmen, they must have known that the laws of human nature could not and would not be reversed for their benefit, and that something more than a constitutional amendment was re quired to transform an African slave into an intelligent and conscientious American citizen. If the enfranchisement oi the blacks had not been a failure, it would have been the greatest of miracles; and the im partial judgment of posterity will declare that the men who did this thing committed a crime for which there is neither apology nor atonement— St. Louis Republican. mi i iw—— _ The Cincinnati Enquirer denounces the Electoral Tribunal as a packed jury and declares that the Democrats have no hope of justice or fairness at its hands. It urges the Democratic mem bers of the Commission to refrain from further participation in its proceedings, and calls upon the House to place every obstacle in its power in the ay of the count and repudiate the declb iou when made. “ Walts to Jogara.” LOUISIANA. Not long ago, we were told by some of our own party papers that it was “painful to find respectable men and respectable journals looking at the elec toral commission simply as a body of partisans. It may, perhaps, be just to apply those terms to some of the mem bers of it appointed by the houses of Congress ; but surely the judges ol the Supreme Court ought not to be con sidered so partisan as to make us fear that party passions will cloud their reasoning powers or warp their judg ments. The habit of sitting in judg ment and hearing coolly both sides at their best, the habit of weighing evi dence and strictly applying the law to facts—these beget a cast of mind which is not easily affected by party passions. The present Supreme Court has deliv ered decisions almost unanimous which sternly rebuked the partisan legislation of the Republican party. They have shown that they hold the sacrednesa of the constitution far higher than the ex pediences of parties.” The Baltimore Gazette even went so far as to speak in this way : “ For our part we should not fear to trust the questions at issue to five Republican judges. No judge who values his reputation or his soul’s health could suffer party feeling to sway his judgment of such frauds as tiie Florida and Louisiana cases. We look for an unanimous opinion from the five judges.” Up to this time, the respectable journals and men have had good grounds to mistrust the Republican Judges. It is true that the Democra tic Judges arrayed themselves ou the other side, but they can not be put in the same category with Bradley, Mil ler ana Strong. The Democratic Jud ges, one of whom was appointed 0) Mr. Lincoln, were willing to throw wide open the doors of investiga tion, so that there should be no barrier to the entrance of the truth. The Republican Judges, on the other hand, have steadily voted to stop every crack or cranny through which the truth might find its way. Wherefore, though there may be par tisanship on both sides, it is infinitely more creditable on the Democratic than on the Republican side. The Democrat# had little to fear, if the evi dence of fraud could be admitted; the R publicans knew that the admittance of evidence would prove their over throw. What a monstrous position this servile adherence to the letter of the law, and defiance of Its spirit, forces the Republican Judges into! They have soiled their own ermine and violated the very sanctuary of justice. They have invited destruction upon themselves; for while their treachery may be applauded, the traitors will be abhorred. borne little time after the Gazette ex pressed its willingness to trust the judges in the Electoral Court, the true inwardness or Miller, Bradley and Strong becap# manifest and - neoTfgtffenecl journal made the following good points on Radicalism : “Florida and Louisiana may have voted for Til den, but the Radical Governors say they didn’t, and that ends the matter. No evidence of any sort or kind what ever can be admitted to show that the vilest and most glaring frauds taint the certificates issued by Stearns and Kel logg. But when you como to Oregon the thing is entirely changed. Here the Governor’s certificate is not worth the paper upon which it is written. Therefore, Florida and Louisiana must be counted for Hayes because the ex ecutives of these States, not the peo ple, assure us that Hate# ought to have them, and Oregon must be counted solid for Hayes in the very face of the fact that the Governor cer tifies under the broad seal of that Stat# that only two Haybs electors were appointed by the people. And now, what are you going to do about it ?” There may be the shadow of the shade of hope that the technicality judges will give Tilden the one vote necessary from Oregon ; but men who believe this are about as scare# as hen’s teeth. If the Radical judges were forced to give Tilden the Presi dency, it might be the refinement of malice and revenge to let him become Chief Magistrate by Cronin’s vote ; but, unless all signs fail, the eight men who swallowed Matt Carpenter’s dose and Mad Wells’ infamy, without hesita tion, are capable of absorbing Cronin, nose and all. Mr. Wm. Beach Lawrence, a cele brated jurist, advises the Democratic members of the Commission to with draw, on the ground that the Commis sion has only done what it was pro posed by the Republicans that the President of the Senate should do, and to prevent which the Commission was instituted. Nor is the case different in its results if we are to regard the Com mission not in its- constitutional or legal aspect, but as a matter of arbitra tion. That even an arbitration between nations is not binding unless the award follows, the submission was fully shown in the case of the reference of the northeastern boundary of the United States to the King of the Netherlands, who, instead of deciding what were the mountains of the treaty, made th e boundaries between the United States and Nova Scotia ia the middle of a river. The decision was at once repu diated by the United States, and Eng land admitted that it was not binding od us. Had the Commission gone into the examination of the testimony on which the rights of respective claim ants depended, Congress might have been, at least, morally bound by it, whatever the decision. As it is, there can be no pretext that the report of the Commission has any forco. George Bancroft went into hear the arguments before the Commission, Tuesday, and fell asleep while Senator Howe was defending the Louisiana Re turning Board, whereupon Randolph Tucker neatly remarked to a com panion : "See that: history sleeps while fiction, speaks.” — ■ The Radical judges are satisfied with the broad steal of the States. The Su preme Bench has become like a dis reputable junk shop, the receptaole for stolen good#, Montgomery Blair always believed the Supreme Court Justices who be oag to the Republican party would be guided by their party feelings equally with the Republican members of Con gress who are on the Commission. Judge Blair thinks the case would not have been one whit different had Justice Davis been on the Commission instead of Justice Bradley. Justice Davis never did act with the Demo cratic party, nor will he act with the Democrats when he enters the Senate. Had the Democrats not passed the Electoral bill he tninks that in one week from the time it passed everything would have been right. He thinks that the House Democrats have fallen into a trap purposely prepared for them. The LaGraDge Reporter confesses to a feeliDg of deep indignation at the passage by the House of a bill to abolish the State Board of Health, and adds: “During the present session the Legislature will have wasted enough money to carry on thj operations of the Board forty or fifty years. The very men who oppose the Board are the ones who bring up bills to change county lines, and allow men to peddle without license. They aro men who have not paid any attention to the de sign or the merits or the benefit of the Board. They are the unadulterated peanut legislators, who see a wart on the end of their noses and imagine it is a mountain in the distance. Out upon such farcical legislation !” If Hayes gets iu, it will be by the broad steal of the States. ——- Some of the most violent opponents of State aid under Bullock, and some men who won cheap reputation and honors by such antagonism, are now found up to their noses in advocating State aid. Fie upon them ! State aid to railroads was all that was damnable under Bullock. Will soma of our Representatives explain why they are so much in favor of Stats aid now ? Come, now, gentlemen, let us have light. Justice Miller, one of the High Old Joint, who refuses to investigate fraud, Is quoted as having said before he went on the Commission that “this Tilden party has no rights, and ought not to expect anything.” He is a worse parti san than Morton or Garfield. The New York Sun puts the “beei” on Hayes thus: “Shall he take the office when his only title to it is the fraud In Florida and Louisiana? Shall he be President upon stolen electoral votes? Shall he be the Fraudulent Pres ident ? If Hayes can get well over this question, he will not find his conscieno© much bothered by any of those that ime afterward.” The present Winter is remarkable in England for unusual symptoms of early vegetation; and this is still more the case in France, where in some districts the season appears, by all reports, to be several weeks in advance. One of the French papers has taken the trouble to refer to the records of past centuries for examples of like abnormal winters, and gives the following instances of premature springs: In the Winter of 1183 the fruit trees iu France were la bloom in December, and the vine in February. In the Winter of 1288 vio lets picked in the meadows on the banks of the Rhine were sold in the streets of Cologne. Cornflowers were seen in February, and the vine was in bloom upon the hillsides of the Moselle in the month of April. In 1572 the trees were covered with leaves in January, and the youDg birds were hatched in February, In IG2I there was a general flowering of shrubs and plants in February. In 1658 there was neither snow nor frost. In 1782 the heat was extraordinary in December. There was thunder storms as in August and everything was in blossom iu Jan uary. In 1821 the temperature was singularly mild; green peas were in flower in December, and the rye was gathered in before the 21th of June. The vine harvest was one of the most remarkable of the present century. The winter of 1857 is the last one that can be placed on the list of “spring win ters.” E. H.
