THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
1 SUNDAY. FEBRUARY 28, 1875._
THE MODERN MARCELLUS.
The Washington Sunday Herald, al
luding to Col. Tom Ochiltkke, thus
effuses :
“ The gallant Ganger of the Rio Grande
has turned up in New York, having been
elected President of the Torpids, a club of
gentlemen at Delmonico’s, who believe m
taking things easy. The gallant Colonel,
in a Aery speech of acceptance, said that
his removal as United States Marshal was
a political necessity, and brought down
thunders of applause, by quoting, at the
close of the finest speech ever made since
Webster pulverized Hayne :
“ More true joy Makceblus exiled feels,, f
Than Caesar with a Senate at his heels.
Tom Ochiltree is an adventure!
pretty much after the pattern of Dugald
Dalgetty. He is no more like the
glorious Roman, the young Marcellus,
than Brown low is like the angel
Gabriel. He is a famous wit, and also
the best illustration of a humbug since
the days of Baron Munchausen. Find
ing how the wind was blowing at the
end of the war, Tom Ochiltree easily
assumed a mild Republican hue and
just as easily took upon himself, as a
reward for easy principles, the position
of a Federal official. No doubt, being
as unstable as water and as unreliable
as a chameleon, he contrived finally to
wear Grant’s uniform and draw his pay
without long sticking to the party
fealty which he voluntarily submitted
to, when other and better men prefer
red to be faithful and poor. Between
this muddy Marcellus, this pinchback
Roman, and “ Cjesar with the Senate
at his heels,” the better character is
that of the latter.
We dare say Col. Ochiltree has
at last found something like lijs true
level, as President of the “ Torpids.”
He is lucky to have saved enough
money to enjoy his otium cum d'iQ at
Delmonico’s, while his fellow sluggards
at the South know of Delmonico only
as a vision of the Arabian Nights and
are perforce content to drink mean
whiskey while the ex-Marshal of the
United States cracks his old jokes to
New York swells and imbibes Yquem
and Benedictine, in the role of an an
cient Roman.
A friend at our. elbow supplements
this picture by a “ little anecdote.
He says, at one time duriug the war,
while this so-called Marcellus was
roaming through the Lone Star State,
he stopped at a hospitable mansion.
At one of the daily repasts, with tears
in his eyes, which were soon communi
cated to the family, he related the
death of a son of his host, which trag
edy was asserted to have occurred on
the field of battle and in the shining
arms of victory. There was one un
concerned listener to this story, the
daught?r of the family. She never
shed a tear, and even appeared an
amused spectator of the solemn scene.
At last she broke an awful and sobbing
gap in the tableau, by exclaing : “ Don’t
cry, mother. Brother is not dead. The
account of it comes from Tom Ochil
tree, and everybody knows he is the
biggest liar in Texas!”
TREASURERS.
This is an off year for Treasurers.
The Georgia Treasurer is in a bad way;
so is the same official in South Caro-
Udfv.ii'iTt* 1 iHciii 1 lfcTtnrUfrtShed with im
peachment because he refused to pay
bonds he considered fraudulent, and
the Georgia man partially because he
paid them with too much alacrity and
with a most primeval simplicity.
In West Virginia, the Legislature
appointed a committee to arrange arti
cles of impeachment against the Treas
urer and report the same to the next
session of the Assembly. Meanwhile
the Treasurer was removed, a financial
agent appointed, and the Colons ad
journed.* If the Georgia Legislature
cannot adop.t anything original to suit
the case of their Treasurer, we recom
mend the example of the West Vir
ginia Legislature, which made quick
work of the matter, did no injustice,
had some regard for the decency of the
thing, and, above all, refused to spend
the people’s money by a foolish and
protracted extra session.
If Mr. Jones stubbornly refuses to
resign, let him be suspended tempo
rarily, pending further investigation
and the preparation of articles of im
peachment to be reported at the next
session. If the Legislators go about
this matter in a gingerly way, and re
main in session indefinitely, at consid
erable expense to the State, when there
is not the slightest necessity for the
same, the people will only have to
consider which is the greater incubus,
the Treasurer or the General Assembly.
THE LOUISIANA COMPROMISE.
Gen. Gordon, Mr. Lamar, of Missis
sippi, Mr. Potter, of New York, and
Speaker Blaine advised the Conserva
tive caucus of Louisiana to accept the
Wheeler compromise.
Mr. Wheeler, the author of the com
promise, signed his name to a report
which embraced the following state
ments :
1. That there has been, and is, on the
part of the party calling themselves the
White Man’s party in Louisiana, a purpose
to take possession by force and fraud of
the State Government without regard to
the question who may have the numerical
majority at a fair election.
2. That in the execution of this purpose
the White Man’s party have refrained and
will refrain from the use of no instrument
which they designed to accomplish
it, whether those instruments be murder
or fraud, civil war or coercion of laborers
by employers.
8. The effect of all this has been to put an
end to the authority of the law over a large
portion of Louisiana, to deprive the negro
of his freedom of suffrage, and wholly to
destroy the value of the methods provided
by law for secmiing fairness in elections,
or ascertaining'their result. This state of
things overthrows Republican government
in Louisiana, and seriously menaces it in
the whole country.
If Mr. Stephens had signed his name
to a document approving this Whee
ler compromise, what a howl there
would have been!

ware coast. She is being discharged.

ATLANTA.
Legislative Proceedings-—Deba e on
the Treasurer’s Case—A Settlement
of Some Kind to be Mad9—The So
lons in a to
Adjourn.
Atlanta, February 27.
The Sub-Finance Committee made a
supplemental report this morning on
the condition of the Treasury. They
reiterated charges of incompetency, as
telegraphed last night. After allowing
all lawful credits and vouchers they
show a balance of §6,000 against the
Treasurer. The committee, however,
state they made no attack on the in
tegrity of the Treasurer. He asked
credit on a protested cheek of Mr. John
King, also on counterfeit money. He
also claimed credit for moneyjpaid Mr.
McCalla, which the committee felt not
authorized to allow. Besides the
points telegraphed last night, they con
demn him for paying bonds which
every well iuformed citizen believed to
have been previously paid, and con
demn him because he keeps no record
of bonds paid ; because he keeps no
account by which to know balances in
various banks ; and because, in some
circumstances, he cannot tell certainly
whether certain bonds have been paid
or not. They, however, excuse him, to
some extent, on account of recent ill
ness.
The Senate ordered 100 copies print
ed and adjourned..
After reading the report of the House,
Mr. Black„offered a resolution acquit
ting Jones of dishonesty, and authoriz
ing the Governor to employ a suitable
and efficient person to assist the Treas
urer in readjusting the business of his
office. Other resolutions of a similar
character were offered by Mr. Jones, of
Burke, and Mr. Lawton. Mr. Turner,
of Brooks, said he thought the cen
sure and indignation of the people
sufficient punishment; that the preseat
laws provided remedies.
The resolution and report of the Sub-
Finance Committee were referred to
the Joint Finance Committee for ac
tion.
In the afternoon session the Joint
Finance Committee reported to the
House for adoption a resolution which
substantially is as follows:
Resolved, That the Treasurer has not
discharged liis duties in conformance
with law, and by such non-performance
endangered the public property of the
State and seriously impaired its credit,
and that his management of the Treas
ury receives our unqualified condemna
tion; also, that the Governor be directed
to employ a suitable person to assist the
Treasurer and make a complete regis
tration of bonds paid or yet to be paid,
and that if, upon further investigation,
it appears the State has suffered loss
by mismanagement of the Treasury,
the Governor shall institute suit against
the Treasurer and his securities for
such loss.”
Turnbull moved its adoption. Gra
ham, of Dade, moved to take each
resolution separately, wheupon debate
occurred on the resolution of condem
nation. Jones, of Burke, opposed the
resolution and could not vote whole
sale condemnation of an old .and faith
ful officer. Anderson, of Cobb, said if
the gentleman who ead just spoken
could see nothing in the report of the
committee to indicate that the Treas
urer deserved condemnation, he cer
tainly was at liberty to vote against
the resolution; but in the unanimous
sentiment of the Joint Finance Com
mittee, the Treasurer has been guilty
of negligence which threatened great
loss to the State, and which merited
the condemnation of the entire peo
ple of the State.
Harrison, of Quitman, was willing to
vote for the resolution, though he dis
liked to condemn a man on an ex parte
report.
The House reassembles to-night. It
dispose or tiie matter to-night, adjourn
and go home. Members have made all
arrangements to leave. The truth is,
they don’t know what to do. The law
yers can’t agree on any certain way to
remove the Treasurer except by im-
peachment, and that is too expensive.
The Senate reconsidered its action
passing the House bill to repeal the
act exempting manufactures. The mo
tion to take up failed.
Senate doing nothing.
House engaged in a warm discus
sion.
Speer made an appeal to the House
in behalf of Jones. [Applause in the
galleries.]
Carlton wants to stay and acquit or
convict.
The resolutions met considerable op
position for a variety of reasons.
Potash Farrow has issued a circular
to the Republicans of Georgia pro
claiming a great defalcation by the
Democrats.
It is next to impossible to take ac
tion to-night, and possibly the Legisla
ture may adjourn sine die without do
ing anything.
The Senate adjourned to Monday.
The House is still discussing Jones.

CONGRESSIONAL.
Matt Carpenter Denounces Civil
Rights—Sturdy Opposition to the
Force Bill.
Washington, February 27.—1n the
Senate, Carpenter spoke against the
passage of the Civil Rights bill.
The House, after disposing of a mis
cellaneous mass of business, under
unanimous consent, resumed the con
sideration of the Force bill, and
speeches were made against it by
Young, of Georgia ; Pierce, of Massa
chusetts ; and Poland, of Vermont.
Passage of the Civil Rights Bill—
The House Squabbling Over the
Force Bill—Blaine Calls Butler a
Scoundrel—An t U Night Session

Senate. —The committee to sit du
riug recess to examine various branch
es of the Civil Service are, Boutwell,
Conkling, Merrimon, Eaton and Alli
son.
Resolutions of the Mississippi Leg
islature in favor of the Texas Pacific
Subsidy were presented.
The Civil Rights bill finally passed,
and goes to the President. The amend
ment relieving Southern jurors of the
ironclad oath was defeated. Logan
said he would vote in favor of relief as
a separate measure, but to amend the
Civil Rights would defeat it. The vote
was strictly party, except Sprague,
Schurz and Tipton. Many Senators
were absent. The vote was 38 to 26.
Eulogies occupied the rest of the
session.
The evening session was unimpor
tant. The Tax bill comes up Monday
as unfinished business.
Ferry, of Connecticut, Carpenter,
Hamilton, of Texas, also voted against
the Civil Rights bill.
Minority and majority Mississippi
reports were ordered printed.
An appropriation for payment of
awards of the Southern Claims Com
mission passed.
The Election Committee submitted a
report that Lawrence Sypher was not
elected from Louisiana.
The consideration of the Caucus
Force bill was resumed.
During a colloquy Blaine told Butler
he was a scoundrel. The tri - >Uble arose
from Democrats approai filing the
Clerk’s desk during roll cal/, their ob
ject being to see if by not v< >Ung they
could prevent a quorum and force the
call of the House.
After the Democrats had ’oeen order
ed to their seats, Butler sta Jked to tho
Clerk’s desk, and leaning on, his elbow,
watched the progress of tl le call. He
was ordered away, but said ho had as
much right there as SpeaJcer Blaine,
who, at the time, was on the floor near
the Clerk’s desk, Cessna being in the
Chair.
Calls of order resulted io the affair
being dropped.
The House is now voting upon the
clause to strike out the habeas corpus
clause, by an amendment making the
suspension applicable only to Louisi
ana, Mississippi and Alabama. It was
adopted.
There is every indication of an all
night session.
10 o’clock p. m.—The House is voting
on the amendments to the Force bill,
but making little progress, as three
dilatory motions are interposed be
tween each question.
The Contest Going on Over the Force
Bill.
Confirmations—John Bruce, District
Judge, Alabama; A. F. Prentiss, Post
master, Albany, Ga. The nomination
of Pardee, District Judge for Louis
! iana, still hangs fire in the Judiciary
Committee.
Late statement of the situation in
the House ; The debate on the Force
bill closed at four o’clock without any
remarkable features, and then the
Democrats found that the plan which
they had devised of delaying action
on " the bill was a failure. That
plan was to make motions for the sus
pensions of the rules on various pro
positions, such motions generally
taking precedence of all other matters.
The Speaker declined to entertain the
first motion of the kind attempted by
Beck, on the ground that the agree
ment made yesterday would have beeh
entirely worthless if that were permit
ted.
The voting on the bill and amend
ments then proceeded, but made little
progress, as three dilatory motions
were interposed between each ques
tion. The 13th section, the habeas cor
pus one, was amended by limiting it to
two years’ duration, and to'the States
of Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi
and Alabama. Then a motion by Can
non, of Illinois, to strike out the 13th
section was rejected, although all the
Democrats and 36 Republicans voted
to strike it out; then a motion made
by E. R. Hoar, of Massachusetts, to
siiike out the Ist, 2d and 4th sections,
was voted on and rejected by 120 to
125.
The universal and confident opinion
here among Democrats and the ablest
lawyers is that the Supreme Court will
declare the Civil Rights bill unconsti
tutional.
House—midnight—The bill has been
ordered engrossed, but the Democrats
are still fighting it with dilatory mo
tions.

IN MEMORIAM.
Francis Wabdlaw Stansell, died Jan
uary 20th, 1875, aged 20.
The best and truest eulogy, dear friend,
is written in the hearts of those who loved
thee, with whom thy virtues far outweigh
ed thy faults. Generous, warm-hearted
and loving, ’tis hard to see thee pass away
from earth in thy young manhood’s prime.
Our tears will fall above thy lowly grave,
but we think of thy bright spirit as safe
with a merciful and loving Saviour, and
our nearts are comforted.
Why should we mourn? Thou least but
gone before us,
A few steps on, across the narrow -way
We all shall tread; whose shadow must fall
o’er us
Ere we can roach the light of perfect day.
And thou, so soon, hast stemmed the swell
ing tide,
And standest secure upon the other side.
Where ali is peace, where earthly faults
and errors
Sink into nothingness in God’s own sight;
Where Deatli himself is robbed of all his
terrors,
And nought is known but joy, and love,
ana light,
There thou, whom we have lost from earth,
shall stand—
A ransomed spirit, safe at God’s right hand.
Why should we mourn? Thou art not lost
iorever,
Though here we see thy loved face no
more;
A few short years our earthly ties will
sever—
Will bring us, too, to that far-off shore,
Where we shall meet thee-all our sins for
given—
And share with thee the lasting peace and
bliss of Heaven. ***
