THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
_
THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1875^
ANDREW JOHNSON.
The long agony is over in Tennessee,
and ex-President Andrew Johnson, if
he lives long enough, will take his
place in the Senate of the United
States.
The ex-President has astonishing te
nacity and remarkable luck. He has
clung to political life like a grizzly
bear to a Digger Indian, and, in 3pite
of an ugly record and monstrous blun
ders, rises again to the surface of dis
tinction, if not of usefulness. His com
petitor, Gen. Bate, would have tri
umphed had not one of his adherents
become prostrated by a spasm of the
heart just before giving his vote. —
That vote the General never secured
subsequently, and Johnson’s good for
tune bounded to the front, just as the
world discovered the important fact
that a Tennessee Legislator really pos
sessed a tender organ which is popu
larly supposed to be the seat of the
affections.
Andrew Johnson was the man who
kept the Border States from joining
the Confederacy ; he was the man who
proposed to “ make traitors and trea
son odious,” meaning Jeff Davis and
Robert E. Lee ; he made a drunken
speech when inaugurated as Vice-
President and, during a debauch, con
nived at the murder of Mrs. Surratt,
He was also the author of that $20,000
clause which disfranchised enough
Southern men to hand the Southern
States, bound hand and foot, over to
negroes and carpet-baggers. It is
possible, and very probable, that
he has long ago repented of
many of these atrocious deeds, the
more so as the Radical Republicans
made use of him at first and sought to
destroy him when squeezed dry of
devilty. When he felt the ground slip
ping from beneath him, and his dead
reckoning in State-craft all wrong, no
0116 cried out more lustily for the guar
antees of the Constitution, and we have
to thank him at least for the candor in
confessing that, should the Radical
programme be carried out, as it has
been, Jefferson Davis and Robert E.
Lee would descend to posterity in the
same category of renown as Hampden
and Sydney.
The main reason, doubtless, why Mr.
Johnson has been returned to the Sen
ate is founded upon the fact of distin
guished ability aud experience in pub
lic office. He was confronted by com
parative nobodies, and one Cooper is
enough for a great State like Tennessee,
As it is our desire to do this extraor
dinary man entire justice, we shall let
him speak for himself. Recently, in
defining his politics, he said :
My whole public acts demonstrate that
I exhausted all the powers and prerogatives
of the office of President In behelf of Con
federate soldiers, and I went so far that
Congress, under the influence of an ex
treme party spirit, repealed the amnesty
act authorizing the President to pardon
rebels. Then I fell back to the pardoning
power under the Constitution, and under
this power, on the 25th of December, 1868,1
issued a proclamation of general amnesty,
releasing and relieving all those who had
fought against the flag. This was assailed
by the Radical leaders, but the Supreme
Court of the United States has within the
past year, I believe, decided in my favor.
When the impeachment trial was going on,
my exercise of the pardoning power was
one of the items of inquiry by the commit
tee. Now as to my Democracy, I think no
one who can read can be ignorant of my
political views. I think lam in line with
the Democracy of the nation, and the un
willing testimony of my political opponents
has established that I was nominated as a
Union Democrat for Vice-President, and I
think that my whole life shows me to be
Democratic—an unadulterated Democrat.
By the way, I think some people sneeringly
say that I am too much of a people’s man,
demagogue, and all that. Yes, these ques
tions have been all answered by me before,
and I went over this ground more in detail
in a speech I made in Shelbyville last Oc
tober.
We dare say the ex-President has
developed an enormous love for Con
federate soldiers, during the Sena
torial race; but the fact is on record
that it was only by threat of
resigning his sword and high rank,
just after the war, that preserved Gen.
Lee from Mr. Johnson’s and Mr. Stan
ton’s vindictive clutches, so ruthlessly
shown toward the prisoner of Fortress
Monroe. Years ago, Andrew Johnson
was described as a sans-culotte unac
countably gifted with brains and craft,
and he certainly had all the low in
stincts of a communist who hates every
man who wears a clean shirt.
It is to be hoped that age has tem
pered and sobered him. It is the pop
ular expectation that he will “make
Rome howl ” when he gets to the Cap
itol. He may and he may not. The
man who howls the loudest to get
office does not always play the part of
Boanerges after being firmly fixed in
his seat. He is, at all events, entitled
to another showing in order to redeem
the past. We shall patiently await the
developments of the future in his re
gard.
At Odds.— ln the recent Republican
caucus, Ben Butler tried to push the
Civil Rights bill. Whereupon Mr. J.
Ambler Smith, of Virginia, said that if
that bill were forced upon the people
and the Administration continued to
use troops in the South, that a year
hence the number of native white Re
publicans in the South could be count
ed on the fingers and toes of members.
Butler, it is said, went to Mr.
Smith, privately, and said if he would
rally his friends and assist in putting
through his dilatory motion resolution,
that he would not press the Civil
Rights bill except in a very modified
form. Mr. Smith replied by entering
a further protest against the use of
military in the South.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES
~ CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington, January 27.
House. —Butler, of Massachusetts, as
a question of privilege, called up the
motion made by him at the last ses
sion, to reconsider the vote by which
the Civil Rights bill was referred to the
Judiciary Committee.
A point of order was raised, but the
Speaker decided, “ on the authority of
that day’s journal of proceedings,” that
the right existed, and thereupon the
Democrats fell back upon the policy of
filibustering, and the House is now en
gaged in that business.
The House caucus resolved to in
struct the Judiciary Committee to re
port the Civil Rights bill in its regular
order. This takes the control of it
from Butler, aud stAves action off for
two weeks. The best parliamentarians
say there is machinery to push it over
the 4th of March. [The words “in or
der,” inserted in caucus action, was
not understood by many members. It
appears the Judiciary Committee had
presented their bill, and that a motion
to reconsider was pending, which But
ler, Chairman of the Committee, could
call up at any time. This he did to
day in order, as directed by the cau
cus.]
The House has been fillibustering all
day, and is still at it.
The Pension Committee will report
favorably on the bill to pension the
Mexican war veterans, of whom there
are 20,000.
The bill over which the House is fll
libustering excludes the school and
cemetery clauses of the Civil Rights
bill.
Conklin will follow Thurman on the
Louisiana question.
Senate. —Scott, of Pennsylvania,
from the Committee on Claims, report
ed adversely on the bill to facilitate
and reduce the expenses of taking tes
timony in behalf of claimants to be
used before the Commissioners of
Claims, and it was indefinitely post
poned. He said the object of this bill
had been already supplied bv a House
bill.
Patterson, of South Carolina, pre
sented concurrent resolutions of the
General Assembly of that State, for
an appropriation of SIOO,OOO for the
improvement of the Charleston harbor.
Referred to the Committee on Com
merce.
The Louisiana discussion was re
sumed, and Thurman occupied the
balance of the day. He reviewed at
some length the circumstances attend
ing the election of 1872, as well as the
last election, and read frequently from
the report of the Senate Committee in
regard to the frauds of the Lynch Re
turning Board. He commented upon
the message of the President in reply
to the resolution of the Bth instant, and
said a paper more full of omissions of
material facts never emanated from
the Chief Magistrate of this country.
He argued that the dispatches of
Sheridan were one sided and did
not tell the whole truth. He re
plied to the charges of Southern out
rages, and said that a great majority
of homicides in the South were com
mitted by blacks upon blacks, and were
not by whites upon blacks, as had
been charged. In conclusion, he said
it was a bad thing to assassinate a
man, but a worse thing to assassinate
the constitution of a State. These acts
of the military in Louisiana have driv
en a dagger to the heart of free insti
tutions in this country.
An All Night Session.
Dilatory motions have been contin
ued in the house until this hour, 11 p.

will continue until noon to-morrow.

LOUISIANA.
Ex-Gov r Mls Before the Congres
sional Committee.
New Orleans, January 27.—Before
the Congressional Committee to-day
the testimony of Gov. Wells was con
tinued, in regard to the abstraction of
forty or fifty affidavits filed by the
Conservative counsel in the Natchi
toches case. He stilted that the papers
from which the Board made their re
port was taken charge of by clerks,
and that he knew nothing directly of
the disposition made of the papers
after the Board had completed their
sessions. The Governor also detailed
an alleged plot to assassinate him at
the City Hotel.
Gov. Wells was informed by a friend
of the design to assassinate him. Coun
sel desired him to name this friend,
but Wells declined to give it because
of the chances that he might be injured
thereby.
Gen. T. C. Anderson affirmed the
statements of Wells.
Mr. J. B. Zuntz was placed upon the
stand by the Democratic counsel to
rebut the testimony of Gov. Wells, in
regard to the attempted assassination
at the City Hotel. He stated in
substance that at the hotel on the
day named there were two drunken
men, and that fearing something might
i occur from the men being drunk, he
■ advised Mr. Scruggs to take Mr. Wells
out, which was done. He did not know
j this to be a fact, but was so told by Mr.
Watson, the hotel proprietor.
Considerable evidence was taken con
• cerning the intimidation of votes. E.
■ L. Pierson, of Natchetoches swore that
his life was threatened, and that he
• was assaulted several times during the
l campaign. Several others testified to
l the same effect. Those who recounted
murders,however, could not swear they
were committed for political purposes.

[Athens Watchman.
Hon. B. H. Hill.
The editor of this paper has always
entertained the highest opinion of the
intellectual capacity of this distin
guished citizen, and is now anxious, as
heretofore, to see him in the public
service. He defended him on all pro
per occasions within the past three or
four years against the bitter and, as
we thought, unjust attacks of those
who now assume to be his principal
champions. We were very anxious to
see him elected Senator two years ago,
as he ought to have been ; but these
gentlemen then bitterly opposed him.
When nominations were being made
for the House last year we were desi
rous that the people of the Atlanta Dis
trict, where he had claimed citizenship,
and where we thought he was justly
entitled to it, should nominate him ; but
no, “they never mentioned him” in that
connection, but nominated anot her gen
tleman ! A portion of the citizens of
that District, however, very magnani
mously urged that he ought to “stand
for Congress” in the Ninth District!
What is true of the Atlanta District,
also happened in other Districts. These
parties have held all the while that re
sidence in a District is not necessary to
eligibility—that the only requisites are
such as provided by the Constitution
aud laws of the United States. If this
be true Mr. Hill is just as eligible in
one District as another. Why, then, if
his services are so important at this
time, did not some of the other eight
Districts nominate him ?
But it is said there is a vacancy in
this district now. There will be after
the 4th of March, and so there might
be in any other district, if the member
elect could be induced to resign. Sup
pose they try this experiment and
secure Mr. Hill’s services. Col. Bell,
our present Representative, is very far
superior, mentally and morally, to
some of the members elect, and if lie
should decline serving the people any
longer, there are a number of gentle
men in the Ninth District fully equal
to some of the Representatives elect.
Why should outsiders bestow such un
usual attention upon the Ninth Dis
trict ? Do they believe that the people
thereof are not capable of selecting
such a Representative as will suit
them ? Why do they not lavish a por
tion of their care and attention upon
their own districts ?
Now, to save a certain class of “ lit
tle jumped up fellows ” the trouble of
misrepresenting our position, we here
distinctly state that it will afford
us great pleasure to support Mr. Hill
for Congress, provided the people of the
Ninth District select him as their can
didate, but we are not willing to have
him thrust upon them and us, as one
of them, by meddlesome outsiders.
However pure may be their intentions,
they have damaged and are daily dam
aging Mr. Hill by attempting to bully
our people into his support.
Thoughtlessly Said.
Editors Atlanta Herald : In your
paper of the 24th inst., in an editorial
urging the people of the 9th District to
send Mr. Hill to Congress, you say ;
“Beyond Senator Gordon, not a sin
gle Southern member has made a sin
gle speech, or uttered a manly remon
strance. Not even Mr. Stephens, who
claimed at one time to have fully mas
tered the subtle question, has said one
word for his people.”
I respectfully suggest that this ut
terance is calculated to cast unjust cen
sure on Mr. Stephens, and that it was
made without due reflection.
How can Mr. Stephens speak upon a
question which is not before the House?
For some reason, which is doubtless a
good one, our friends in Congress seem
to think it best, so far, that the Louis
iana question should be fully discuss
ed on its merits, in the Senate only. I
take it for granted that they know
what they are doing, and are following
the best course.
And I think too, that Mr. Stephens
fully understands the situation, knows
the best time to speak, and what to
say when that time comes; and that
he will not fail to say it. If Mr. Hill
had been a member of the House
during the present session, I have no
doubt he would have been as silent up
on the Louisiana question as Mr. Ste
phens, or Mr. Bell, or Gen, Cook, or
the other Georgia members have b9en.
Gentlemen let me entreat you to
think before you speak, and be not
hasty to condemn a man of Mr. Ste
phens’ wisdom and well known devo
tion to the faithful * discharge of his
duty. Fair Play.

THESE DESERVEDLY CELEBRATED
id popular medicines have effected a revo
-11 ion in the healing art, and proved the fal
iicy of several maxims which have for many
years obstructed the progress of medical
science. The false supposition that “Con
sumption is incurable” deterred physicians
from attempting to find remedies for that
disease, and patients afflicted with it recon
ciled themselves to death without making an
effort to escape from a doom which they sup
pssed to bo unavoidable. It is now proved,
however, that Consumption can be cured, and
that it has been cured in a very groat number
of cases—some of them apparentjy desperate
Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup alone;
and in other eases by the same medicine, in
connection with Schonck’s Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills, one or both, according
io the requirements of the case.
Dr. Sehenck himself, who enjoyed uninter
rupted good health for more than 40 years,
was supposed, at one time, to be at the very

him to his fate. He was cured by the afore
said medicines,and, since his recovery, many
