TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1875.
[Associated Press Dispatohes.J
WASHINGTON.
Blaine’s Speech in Caucus—Grant Re
ported on a High Horse—The Louis
iana Committee Red Hot for Kel
logg'.
Washington, February 14. — There
having been some erroneous reports
of Speaker Blaine’s speech in the Re
publican ca.ufcus of Friday evening
last, the following is given as an au
thentic outline of all he said :
The Spetiker confined his remarks
wholly to the proposition for a general
suspension of the writ of habeas corpus,
anti made no reference whatever to
any other subject. He stated that he
could see no possible reason for giving
the President the power to suspend
the great writ at his discretion in
Maine and Michigan, because there
was a disturbed condition of affairs in
Louisiana or Mississippi. If there is a
condition o!! affairs there to warrant it,
let the suspension be confined to the
disturbed districts. He could not see
why Southern States like Virginia,
North Carolina and Tennessee, that
were now trying to sustain good
government, should be menaced
and excited by a suspension of
the habeas corpus. Moreover, the pend
ing proposition was unlimited as to
territory ar and unlimited as time. The
bill, if it should become a law, would
confer upon the President of the United
States, for all time to come, whoever
that President might be, the righ t and
power to suspend the habeas corpus at
his sole anti absolute discretion, in any
city, county, district or State within
the Union. He felt great respect for
President Grant, and would trust him
as far as he would any executive offi
cer, but wo aid never vot e to confer this
autocratic power upon any President,
now or hereafter, even if no actual
harm should corno from it for a long
period of years. The people would in
the end become too much familiarized
with the suspension, and lose that in
tense jealousy of individual and per
sonal liberty which is the great charac
teristic of the Anglo-Saxon race, and
which all our legislation should stimu
late rather than repress.
Washington, February 14. — 1 tis
stated that the President favors the
caucus bili, and threatens if Congress
fails in its duty he will not fail in his.
Should Congress adjourn without act
ing, it might be necessary for him to
proceed to greater extremes than mere
suspension of habeas corpus.
The sub-committee will report to the
full committee. The three Republicans
will join in a report which, it is said,
will favor the recognition of Kellogg,
and is somewhat bitter in its denuncia
tions of white leaguers.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
The National Grange.
Charleston, February 14—In the
National Grange on Saturday, the Com
mittee on Mississippi Levees recom
mended that the General Government
extend such aid in this direction as is
consistent with national prosperity and
protection against overflows.
The report of the Committee on Com
mercial Relations, which was adopted,
says that the committee recognize
the vital importance of a more econo
mical commerce between the eastern
and western sections of the United
States, and between America and Eu
rope, than now exist, and say that the
Eastern and Western Transportation
Company, a bill to incorporate which
is before Congress, seems to promise
beneficial results in reducing the dis
tance to deep water oh the coast of
South Carolina and of Georgia, and in
lessening the cost of transporting bulky
crops of Mississippi and Missouri val
leys to European and South*American
consumers. The bill asks for nothing
but the right of way. The contempla
ted road will be a public highway and
postroad, and the committee, there
fore, ask Congress to grant a charter,
and ask the States through which it
passes to do the same.

Another Capital Article from the
Leading Republican Paper in New
England.
the southern question.
The House Committee on Louisiana
Affairs have returned to Washington,
and may be expected to make an early
report of the results of their investiga
tion. The special committees who
have taken testimony in Alabama and
Mississippi are also expected to report
within a few days. The report of the
Arkansas committee is already pub
lished. These reports will bring up the
whole southern policy of the Adminis
tration for review and criticism. The
time is short for debate if anything is
to be done. Serious and critical as the
matters are they must be disposed of
summarily or left to seethe and fester
through another year. The subject is
not simply a party question of supreme
moment, but its relations to the peace
and prosperity of the country are so
immediate that it will be the height of
unwisdom to attempt to wrest the cir
cumstances to party advantage. If
since 1861 there has been a subject be
fore Congress requiring to be consider
ed and settled as a pure question of
constitutional right and patriotic duty
this is such a question. The attempt
to settle it upon any other basis will be
sure to entail incalculable mischief, and
must fail.
If through misinformation concern
ing the facts, or rash mistakes, or cul
pable neglect, the Republican party has
heretofore gone wrong, it has nothing
to gain by persisting for the sake of
consistency or for the sake of saving
anybody’s feelings. Its plain duty is
to face about without delay, confess its
errors, and earnestly set about correct
ing them. Whether or not at this
stage of the case such a course will
save the party, it is at all events the
only chance of salvation. The people
are now so aroused to the ominous
significance of the present condition in
the South, and so resolved to know the
very truth, that it is vain to imagine
they can be pacified by misrepresenta
tions. At the grand assizes of the na
tional election they will sit in judg
ment, on the case, and the whole testi
mony from all sources will be heard.—
If the representatives of the Republi
can party are anxious to have their
work stand in that trial it must be so
reasonable and just that it will deserve
to stand. It is idle to expect the pres
ent excitement to blow over. No com
promise will put it out of sight. No set
tlement will avail to prevent a reopen
ing of the issue unless it be so clearly
right that it cannot be attacked ’w ith
out attacking the common rights and
common security of all the people un
der the Constitution.
By force of circumstances Louisiana
occupies a representative position.—
The Republican policy will be judged
by what it attempts for the rectifica
tion of the situation in that State. It
matters little what may be done in
other States ; until Louisiana is right
ed thefb can be no peace. It is of little
use to say the President has thrown
the responsibility on Congress, and
Congress has neglected its duty. We
have a Republican Executive and a
Republican Congress. Whether the
one or the other is responsible, or they
share the responsibility, the Republi
can party is responsible and cannot es
cape, nor ought it to expect to escape,
being called to account. One thing is
certain—that either the President or
Congress could at any time have cor
rected the mistakes committed in Lou
isiana, and neither has done it. Foist
ing the blame from one to the other
does not in the least relieve the Re
publican party from its predicament.
The past negligence is shameful. Con
tinued negligence will be fatal. The
American people are not yet so indif
ferent to their heritage of constitu
tional liberty that they will stand by
unmoved of a State as independent in
its self dominion as any other of the
thirty-six is repeatedly forced by the
army of the United States to submit
to the fraudulently-imposed rule of the
minority. No excuse or apology for
AUGUSTA, GA„ TUESDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 16, 1875.
such acts is of any account when it is
not accompanied by a prompt correc
tion of the wrong done.
The Republican party and the coun
try is now looking to the committe
which has just left New Orleans for
either ample and conclusive pi oof that
Kellogg is by right Governor of Louisi
ana, and that Ihe Conservatives re
turned elected to the Legislature were
rightfully debarred by a legally-consti
tuted authority from taking their seats,
or the proposal of a direct and efficient
measure to disposses the usurpers and
restore the offices, executive and legis
lative, to those whom they belong.
What the persons so restored may do
is nothing to the purpose. For their
conduct in office they are responsible
only to the people of Louisiana, not to
the President nor to Congress. What
measure the committe shall propose it
is not for us to say, but for them. We
know there are great perplexities and
embarrassments connected with this
question. The difficulties are vastly
greater now than they were two years
a €°> but less now than they will ever
be again. In our judgment the sim
plest way is the best, and the simplest
way would appear to be an instruction
in some form to the President that in
the judgment of Congress the use of
the army to sustain in office men who
were not elected, or to keep out of office
men who were elected, is repugnant to
the principles of republican govern
ment and to the sentiment of the nation.
If it is necessary to designate the par
ticular cases, let it be done.
The Republican majority in Congress
is restricted to the alternative of show
ing that the grievances complained of
by the people of Louisiana have no
warrant in the facts, or of redressing
these grievances so far as the National
Government is responsible for them.—
The politics of these people have noth
ing to do with the question. The Re
publicans of Louisiana acquire no
rights on account of their Republican
ism, and the Democrats lose nq rights
on account of their Democracy. It is.
not for Congress to consider what
stripe of politicians the people ought
to have chosen for legislators, but, who,
in fact, were legally chosen. We should
have been glad if the people of Louis
iana had chosen a Republican Gov
ernor, and so we should have been
glad if the people of Massachusetts
had chosen a Republican Governor.—
But we believe that in both instances
they failed to do it, and we no more
approve the imposition of a Governor
not chosen in the one case than in the
other. If such a thing has been done
the sooner the work is undone the
better. If the Republican party has
been guilty of doing it, and sustaining
it, no matter by whose agency or under
what provocation, every consideration
of patriotism, and of party policy as
well, requires it to take the back track.
The President in his annual messages
has invariably uttered just and con
ciliatory statements concerning the
Southern situation. The difficulty is
that when the occasion for putting
them in practice has arisen he has
been led, we kno ,v not by what influ
ences, to act in contravention of these
sentiments. It rests with the Republi
cans in Congress to insist upon the
policy sanctioned by his better judg
ment, and to point out the way of en
forcing it. •
[Hawkinsville Dispatoh.
Low Prices for Cotton.
Many of our farmers who planted
cotton last year did so with the expec
tation of getting fifteen and eighteen
cents per pound for it. How badly
they calculated their own pockets can
tell. We believe a majority of them,
however, endeavored to make corn and
meat sufficient to do them, and some
of them may be able to squeeze through
without buying anything.
For several days cotton has been
selling in this market for thirteen to
fourteen and a quarter cents, and there
is not much prospect of an advance
beyond fif teen cents, at the very best.
Still, we hear farmers say they “ have
heard others say cotton will be twenty
cents next Fall.” Our earnest advice
to them is not to entertain the least
hope of receiving over twelve or thir
teen cents for their cotton next Fall.—
Any calculations made beyond four
teen, will, in our opinion, turn out
badly.
Two or three years ago, when corn
was retailing in Hawkinsville at one
dollar and ten cents a bushel, and ba
con could be bought for eight aud ten
cents a pound, we believed in raising
cotton, for it was then selling at six
teen to eighteen cents. We thought
then, and we think now, that at those
prices all round, it would be most pro
fitable to raise cotton, but the figures
have changed—wanderfully changed—
cotton has gone down and corn and
bacon have gone up. Let our farmers
make their calculations to sell cotton
next Fall at present prices, if not low
er, and let them look at the cost of
bread and meat. Take our word for
it—the best thing you can do is to make
your home supplies, and what cotton
you can besides.

ness. regarding the quality and price.
They are bought from the IMPORTER,
