THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1875!
LCorrespondence of the Constitutionalist.
LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
The “Beautiful Snow.” Washington’s
Birthday. Departing Congressmen.
Mr. Stephens and Gen. Dußose.
Washington, March 3,1875.
But little more than three weeks
since I crossed Pennsylvania Avenue,
on the way to the magnificent depot of
the Baltimore and Potomac road, in
company with Judge Hook, of your
city, who had been spending some time
here looking after the interests of his
clients in the U. S. Courts—and surely
client never had attorney more inde
fatigable than Judge H.
The wintry blasts were howling in
our ears, the flakes of snow, like eider
down, were falling over our heads,
and the drifted snow was crushing
under our feet.
Giving way to the inspiration of the
scene, the Judge recited with great
beauty and spirit some verses of “ The
Beautiful Snow—”
‘Oh ! the snow, the beautiful snow,
Filling the sky and earth below;
Over the house-tops, over the street
Over the heads of the people you meet—
Dancing,
Flirting,
Skimming alone-;
Beautiful snow ! it can do nothing wrong.
Flying to kiss a fair lady’s cheek.
Pure as an angel, gentle as love !”
Clinging to lips in frolicsome freak;
Beautiful snow from the heaven above,
Had the Judge been here the ‘22d
ult., I think his poetic nature would
have been moved to exclaim “ 10, the
winter is past, the rain is over and
gone ; the time of the singing of birds
is now near at hand, and the voice of
the turtle will soon be heard in the
land.” It seemed indeed as if nature
had put on a smilling face, in honor of
the anniversary of Washington’s birth
day. From early morn till dewy eve
Pennsylvania Avenue, from the Capital
to the White House, was thronged
with a moving mass of human beings,
and all day long gaily caparisoned
horses dashed up and down the great
thoroughfare, drawing elegant car
riages, phaetons and landaulets filled
with “ beautiful belles.”
Inside the Capitol the scene was not
much less lively. The rotunda, the
halls and the galleries were more than
usually crowded during the day, and
the Congressmen were consequently
more “ gayly ” than usual.
The poor Congressmen! lam so
sorry for some of them—those of them
who will soon have to leave Washing
ton to retire to the peaceful shades of
private life. Of this class, there are,
from Georgia, Whiteley, Freeman,
Sloan and Young.
Poor Young ; I am very sorry for
him, for I believe he really would like
to stay in Washington, or to come back
next Winter. It is rumored that he
intends to be a candidate for the clerk
ship of the next House, nobly resolv
ing, if he cannot serve his country as a
Congressman at the rate of $5,000 a
year, to devote himself to her in a clerk
ship.
And then, besides, isn’t it better to be
in Washington as a clerk than not to be
in Washington at all; and moreover, it
is a little hard for a man—and such a
young man, too—when he has been
drawing his thousands yearly from the
public Treasury, to be cut short off be
fore he has drawn more than forty or
f ty thousand dollars.
1 r, n , Ut > M as ! Pierce M. B.—Pierce M. B.
Tan (auger will be a some time gay and
Spanking Brigadier, with an immacu
late shirt front and a flowing necktie.;
with well-greased, slick and shining
hair, a dark and a rolling eye, and a
huge moustache—“ like the shadow of
a great sorrow ” —loll with a delicious
abandon in a Congressional easy chair,
and ogle Congressional female galle
ries ; no more, ah! never more—but
why pursue the mournful theme—why
longer muse in melancholy mood upon
the Cimmerian gloom of the future of
the last name on the roll call of the
Forty-third Congress ?
With tearful eyes and tremulous
lips, let us bid an eternal farewell to
the sad-eyed Congressman as he re
luctantly steps down and out, bids a
long farewell to all his greatness, and
goes to join the innumerable caravan
of back-pay grabbers and petticoat
Congressmen which throngs the dusky
road to political oblivion.
Let us turn to other and more pleas
ing subjects. Your many readers, and
the thousands of his friends and ad
mirers throughout the country, will
be pleased to learn that Mr. Stephens’
health throughout the Winter has been
greatly better than it was last Winter.
He has been in his seat every day but
one during the present session, and
when the final vote was taken in the
House, last night, on the Arkansas
case, his voice rang out clear and loud
against any interference with Arkan
sas by the United States Government.
He will leave for home in a day or two,
going by way of Augusta.
That genial Georgian and erstwhile
Apollo Belvidere of the House, Gen.
Dudley M. Dußose, is a prominent
candidate for the Clerkship of the next
House. His prospects, lam happy to
say, seem flattering. He is now in the
city, charming all with whom he comes
in contact, no less by his pleasing
manners than by his fine personal ap
pearance.
Other distinguished Georgians have
been in the Capital recently, among
them the Rev. David Wills, of Atlanta.
Hon. Henry W. Hilliard, and Judge
Schley, with his charming wife, former
ly the wealthy Mrs. Keep, of New York.
I met also, in the House gallery, the
other day, the Hon. John H. James, of
Atlanta. Dr. Wilis has been unani
mously called to fill the pulpit of the
Western Presbyterian Church of this
city. The Daily Chronicle, published
here, says of him : “He is one of the
most eloquent Presbyterian ministers
Ijje iiiiln ppaWt
in the country, and since his arrival
here has gathered within the walls of
that church the largest congregations
ever seen there.”
But adieu for the present. I hope,
ere long, to be once more in the sweet,
sunny South, and feel the first faint
zephyrs of her early Spring-time.
The weather has changed greatly for
the worse since the beautiful -22d
ult., and I think if the Judge were here
now, he would sigh ;
‘‘Come to us Spring, beautiful Spring;
We are weary of ice and snow;
Fold us within thy odorous wing,
Over us perfume of May flowers blow.
Bathed in the dewdrops,
Bring us their fragrance,
The robe of the woodlands, -
The lingering sunlight,
Bring us the rivulet’s musical flow.”
Richmond.
POTASH.
Col. H. P. Farrow’s Pronunciamento.
To the Republicans of Georgia:
There is a sad affliction in the family
of our Democratic friends, but as the
newspapers will not say much about it,
I will tell you something of it.
They have suddenly found out that
there is a heavy defalcation in the
Treasury of Georgia, and for some days
past have been laboriously and faith
fully considering every possible way of
doing nothing about it. and of blaming
no one for if On the 9th inst., a com
mittee was appointed to investigate the
Treasurer’s office, and on the 23d inst.,
the committee reported to both Houses,
showing a heavy defalcation in the
office, and advising that the Treasurer
be requested to resign his office.
The Treasurer defied them, and de
clared he would never resign. The
Legislature spent all day Wednesday
last trying to find out some way to do
nothing, and finally when Mr. Warner
of Meriwether county, asked if the
Treasurer had not done what was com
plained of by the Governor’s direction,
there was suddenly a calm upon the
troubled waters, and the whole matter
again “shov'd endwise” into the com
mittee room—tojbe whitewashed.
The committee has refused to white
wash him, and made their second re
port this morning, re-affirming all they
had said in the first report, and giving
additional and more damaging facts.
Their first report charged the Treasu
rer with having paid dishonored paper
the second time, to the sum of $152,250;
with haviug paid $68,917.53 in direct
violation of the plain provisions of the
law governing his office ; with having
claimed to have paid $509,817.59,
through a bank in New York, when he
had no scratch of a pen to prove it;
with claiming to have money scattered
all over the State, in different banks,
(which was in violation of the laws of
the State, if true,) without having a
scratch of pen to show for it, and with
out anything in his office by which to
ascertain how his account stood with
any of these banks ; and farther state,
in their report: “ Your committee have
no reliable data before them, by which
to determine the actual cash in the
Treasury.” No way to find out what
is iu the Treasury ! No way to find out
what has been paid out of the Treas
ury ! Their second report, this day
made, reiterates all they said in their
first report, and even charges the Treas
urer with using five hundred thousand
dollars in bonds of the State, “ with
out authority of law,” when he ought
to have returned them to the Treasury,
and canceled them. They charge him
with having $29,000 in bonds in his
office, which he first told them
were paid, and which he afterwards
told them were not paid, and it really
seems he dia not know whether they
were paid or not. They charge him,
in their second report, with saying he
had certain sums of money belonging
to the Treasury, in certain banks in
Georgia, when iu truth the sums stated
by him were not correct. And they
say he claimed a credit for $1,900 paici
to Maj. C. P. McCalla’s attorneys, but
has nothing to show for it. (And Maj.
MeCalla denies receiving it, or author
ising any attorney to receive it.) Who
were the attorneys ?
All this is true concerning the Treas
ury of Georgia, and because there is
no Republican involved in it, because
there is no Republican they can make
a scapegoat of, because it is Democra
cy, pure (?) and undefiled (?), they are,
even in the General Assembly, trying
to cover it up and make it appear
there is nothing wrong and nobody to
blame ! Nothing wrong and nobody to
blame! There are, however, honest
men in both Houses, who are for deal
ing with the matter without regard to
the fact that Jones, the Treasurer, is a
Democrat. There has been nothing to
show that Treasurer Jones has stolen
anything himself, or has been guilty of
any kind of dishonesty or corruption,
but it seems that others, whose names
have thus far been withheld from the
public, have availed thernselvef of the
incompetency and gross carelessness
of the Treasurer to steal, and that by
his incompetency and carelessness,
$152,000 was paid, in one lump, on
bonds which had been already paid.
The public are feverish to know to
whom this money was paid, and
whether any of his bondsmen were di
rectly or indirectly concerned or inter
ested in its payment. The public are
entitled to know, and demand to know,
whether all these illegal payments, or
any portion of them, and if so, which
of them, were made from the Treasur
er, by and with the consent and ap
proval of the Governor, and if he is
equally involved in this great loss to
the people of Georgia, why he, too, is
not requested to resign.
There is a great effort to cover up
this thing, and it may be that it in
volves others besides Jones, and will
therefore be covered up by adjourning
without action.
Three years ago, when some of the
outgoing officers of the Western and
Atlantic" Railroad were charged by the
Democratic Legislature with having
paid out money on vouchers that were
not in conformity with the law, just as
this Democratic Treasurer has done,
only not amounting to the hundredth
part of his defalcation, the General
Assembly immediately passed what was
known as the Hillyer bill, and under
its provisions there was to be a de
mand made on them by a Legislative
committee for the money, and if it was
not paid instanter, tney were to be in
dicted and sent to the penitentiary for
not paying on demand. This, too,
without even the right to a hearing be
fore tne committee, and without, ingmy
way, having the right to be heard be
fore a jury of their country, or even a
chancellor in chambers, as to the jus
tice of the demand made upon them.
They were even, on application, denied
a hearing, either in person or by attor
ney, before the Legislative com
mittee authorizing the demand, evi
dence of which I have in my posses
sion in the handwriting and over the
signature of the Chairman of the
committee. What a contrast! How
tenderly they now deal with one
of their own political party. Some
AUGUSTA, GA... SATURDAY MORNING. MARCH .6, 1875.
of them propose to furnish him an
assistant under the name of a finan
cial agent. Some propose to retire him
on full pay under the Bacon bill, and
let a financial agent run the office.
None of them propose to re-enact the
infamous Hillyer bill and apply it to
them, nor ought they to do so. They
are trying hard to do nothing, and I
send this exposition out to my political
friends over the State now to let them
know what is going on, and when the
decree shall have gone forth that there
is no blame to be attached to a Treas
urer whose incompetency and careless
ness causes a loss to the people of
Georgia of hundreds of thousands of
dollars simply because he is a Demo
crat, I will give in another document of
this kind their mode of i easoning
themselves into such a conclusion, and
also some of the unwritten (or at least
unpublished) history of this Demo
cratic defalcation.
