TKE CONSTITUTIONALIST
WEDNESDAY. MARCH 31,1875.
THE EXAMPLE OF GEN. LEE.
Mr. Yalentine’s noble work of ait,
the recumbent statue of Robert E. Lee,
was recently exhibited at Richmond
previous to the formal placing of it
above the sacred remains of the South s
incomparable hero. This incident has
evoked many beautiful recollections
and tender tributes to the.memory of
the illustrious soldier and devoted
Christian gentleman, all of which go to
prove that a life like his does not sur
render to the grave, and that ic literal
ly and veritably “blossoms in the
dust.” We select from several sources
two of those allusions to Gen. Lee,
which are creditable to the intellect
and affections of their authors. The
editor of the Baltimore Gazette thus
writes :
Even those whose sympathies were not
with the South during the war, cannot
help feeling profound respect for the many
noble and endearing qualities of the leader
of the army of Northern Virginia. How
his soldiers loved him! He was to them as
a father to his children. Calm, self-poised,
gentle, and kind, he spared them wherever
he could, and often took upon himself the
burthen and the blame that others should
have borne. Ho was the grandest figure of
the war; the most consummate soldier
America has produced. He was the most
unselfish, too. No stirrings of ambition
prompted him to surrender his commission
in the Federal service, sever old associa
tions, abandon a home endeared to him, to
bo despoiled and laid waste by a cruel ad
versary, and cast his lot with his own
people. He was animated simply by a
strong sense of duty, and when his
State called him into her service he re
sponded to the call. Sorrowfully, but reso
lutely, ho withstood the pleading of Scott.
Spurning the more insidious temptation of
advancement, and actuated only by the
purest motives, and the most scrupulous
sense of right, reluctantly, yet with an un
faltering grip, he drew his sword in de
fense of the cause that ho believed to be
just, and never sheathed it again until,
overpowered by numbers and superior re
sources. that cause was irretrievably lost.
Even when tho South was overrun and
plundered by organized bands of loyal
thieves, and his own possessions had
been swept away, not a murmur
escaped his lips. Asa soidier, he had
fought his last battle; but as a teacher
he could still, by precept and example, in
spire the youth of the South with a fond
ness for that learning which we have been
told is “ better than house or lands,” a rev
erence for noble aims and high principles,
and a dutiful obedience in matters of dis
cipline and morals. He taught them, too,
with what brave and unaffected serenity a
Christian gentleman can bear up under
adverse fortune, and, dying, leave behind
him memories that shall be fragrant to fu
ture generations. And so he passed. The
great soldier, the true gentleman; he who,
in tho beautiful words of Chaucer, was
“ all conscience and tender heart.”
In our edition of yesterday we allud
ed to the notable and eloquent speech
of Senator Ransom, of North Carolina.
In the course of that speech, the brave,
high-minded and chivalrous Senator
thus spoke:
I was not present when the discussion
took place between my friend, the Senator
from Georgia (Mr. Gordon) and the distin
guished Senator from Vermont (Mr. Ed
munds); 1 did not hear the Senator when
lie alluded to the name of Gen. Lee, I re
gret that I did not, and for a very different
reason from what that Senator may sup
pose. The mention of that name, Mr.
President, can never give me anything but
pleasure. If for a moment at any time in
th s debate I bad lost sight of my duty; if
1 ha.l permitted personal resentment and
sectional passions to obscure the path I
should tread; if I had forgotten tho high
character that should attach to a Senator
of my country, let me assure the Senator
that he could have mentioned no name
with more talismanie power to bring me
back to the line of my own and my coun
try’s honor. The very memory of the
nainoof Lee now reminds mo that this is
not the place nor the time to vindicate
a life that has passed to the tribunal
of history; but 1 will say that name
now inspires me with higher and purer de
votion to my country. It elevates me
above sectional lines, it lifts me above local
and temporary prejudices, it animates me
to embrace the nation in the sentiment of
patriotism, and it commands me to be con
stant in laboring to unite the American
people. Far from feeling any,mortification
at the Senator’s allusion, I thank him for
presenting to my mind an Image of tran
scendent virtue, which can never cease to
excite my highest aspirations for excel
lence.
Mr. President, there was not a soldier in
the Army of the Potomac who did not ren
der to that grand impersonation of cour
age, dignity, virtue, and manly and Chris
tian grace, the homage of a soldier’s re
spect. It was my fortune at Appomattox
Court House to see Gen. Lee and Gen.
Grant side by side. That scene can never
fade from my memory. I see them now as
they then stood. I remember both—the
one for his majestic serenity under defeat,
the other for his quiet magnanimi'.y in vic
tory; qualities which,', if exercised by the
American people, would long since have re
stored every heart within its limits to af
fection for the Union.
The day will come when the name of
Robert E. Lee shall be cherished all
over this land as it is honored in every
land beyond the sea. We believe too
that Gen. Grant himself has the pro
foundest respect for his renowned anta
gonist of old days and knows that not
the least of his own titles to be esteem
ed in history must cluster about the
honorable feeling he displayed at Ap
pomattox Court House and when he
stood between the ex-Confederate com
mander and Mr. Stanton’s infamous
attempt upon his personal freedom.
Be this as it may, the example of
Lee remains to us and future genera
tions a precious heritage, just as tb~
heart of Bruce borne from Palestine
was the the Douglass in
life and rested on his heart in death.
We thank God for tho gift of such a
man and such a preceptor ; and ages to
come this glorious exemplar will grow
brighter and brighter even to the por
tals of that eternity which shall usher
in the Perfect Day.
MR. THOS. L. SNEAD. AGAIN.
Elsewhere we publish a communica
tion from a highly responsible sourco,
commenting upon the card of Thos. L.
Snead, Esq., which appeared in our
issue of Sunday last. The documents
referred to in the communication signed
“ Justice ’ we have seen and read. All
who desire to share a similar privi
lege can be gratified by making proper
inquiry at this office.
“ I come to steel,” as the rat said to
the trap. “ And I spring to embrace
you,” as the trap replied to the rat.
THE DECLINE OF NEW YORK.
A gentleman of Augusta, one of our
drygoods merchants, has just returned
from New York, and gives a most
gloomy account of the business de
pression there. Some weeks ago, we
reproduced from the New York Day
Book a powerful article on this subject
which attributed the decay of the me
tropolis to its proper cause—the ruin
of Southern industry by the abolition
war, and the monstrous crimes com
mitted by the Wilson -Greeley-Blaine-
Sumner race-unity fanatics since 1865.
Real estate in New York has depreci
ated immensely, and there is a strident
appeal for still further reductions in
rent charges. The Nashville Union
and Amei'ican, speculating on this de
cline, thus speaks : “ That emporium
is gradually losing much of its jobbing
trade. The difference between New York
prices and those of Cincinnati, Chica
go and St. Louis, hardly covers the dif
ference in freights in interior points.—
High railroad tariffs have injured the
East to some extent as well as the
West. The movement for direct im
portation from Europe to Chicago and
St. Louis will decrease the advantages
of New York still farther, and its effects
already begin to be felt. Meanwhile
the trade of Baltimore is growing at a
rate that threatens to divert all South
ern custom from New York. Tho lat
ter must reduce its profits in every way,
if it would retain the old supremacy.
Our opinion is that it will provo better
for the country to possess half a dozen
commercial emporiums, competing with
each other, at any one of which a mer
chant buyer may find all the varieties
of goods produced the world over, from
which to select his stock.”
The New York Sun gives a sorrow
ful account of the death of shipbuild
ing in that city. It says ;
Fifteen years ago, that part of Now York
extending from Oorlear’s Hook to Sandy
Gibson’s along-shore was alive with ma
chine shops of the largest class. All of our
large merchant steamers were built in its
shipyards and fitted with engines, for the
most part, from its machine shops. The
Collins ships were built there, and all of
the other vessels which made names for
themselves, the Fulton and Arago of the
Havre line, the Franklin, Humboldt, Co
lumbia and George Law of the trans-At
lantic and coast lines, sailed away from the
dry-dock on their first voyages. Then the
streets were alive three times daily with a
busy army of mebhanics who could get
work for the asking; there was enough to
do for all; no sooner was one ship launched
than the frame of another quickly took its
place, and 30 urgent was the work that
many shops ran their machinery far into
the night and on Sundays. There were
then the Allaire Works, Murphy & Cos.;
the Morgan Iron Works, Boardman, Hol
brook & Cos.; Underhill & Cos., and the
Novelty Works, employing between them
thousands of men. The dry dock of to-day
is a vastly different place. Of all the ma
chine shops, the Morgan Iron Works and
Murphy & Cos. alone remain, the latter un
der the style of Quintard Iron Works, on
the site of Underhill A Co.’s shop. The
Novelty Iron Works were closed long ago,
and the ma> hinery sold at auction; the
others mentioned above are mere empty
buildings, without a sign of life about them.
The shipyards are turned into places for
storing lumber or stores, and not a single
vessel that we could discover is now build
ing on the dry-dock.
How have the mighty fallen ? Under
the spur and goad of Puritan philoso
phers the city of New York waged
deadly war upon the South and her in
stitutions. Behold the results of that
war! When England became con
vinced of her supreme folly in the West
Indies, following the lead of Wilbeb
force and Clarkson, she determined to
push her commercial rival, the United
States, into the same pitfall, and there
by rescue herself from impending dan
ger. How well she succeeded in graft
ing her policy upon Sumner, Greeley,
•arrison, Phillips and that cabal the
world knows too well. Human respect
on the part of the North prevents a
general confession of this blunder; but
so long as the old policy is pursued so
long will the North stagger under a
grievous burden. There is a prodig
ious effort being made, on the part of
certain Northern leaders, to save them
selves and consecrate their policy by
co-operating with a certain class
of deluded Southern “ statesmen.”
The experience of the past unfor
tunately admonishes us that the
success of this scheme is by no
means unpromising, and that the
South is being prepared for political
disasters not less dreadful than any
which have hitherto compassed her
about. That this is an apprehension
never to be realized we sincerely trust;
but madness may rule the hour in 1870
just as it did in 1872. Gladly would we
see this country united and prosperous
on principles of truth and justidfc; but
neither genuine amity nor solid pros
perity can be brought about by moral
cowardice or abnormal coalitions.
COTTON ESTIMATES.
In their issue of tho 10th of July,
1874, our friends of the Chronicle and
Sentinel, speaking of the cotton crop,
said, “ the yield under most favorable
circumstances could not be much over
3,000,000 bales.” They also said that
“ four million bales is an extravagant
estimate of the growing crop.”
Our friends, in view of the falling off
in receipts, which may or may not be
attributable to the dreadful weather of
tho past three months, are disposed to
crow over their sagacity, as they so
deem it,to be.
The receipts are already 3,150,000
bales. When the total crop shall have
been completed on September Ist, those
who estimated at 4,000,000 will, in our
opinion, be nearer the mark than those
who prophesied a crop of “ not much
over 3,000,000 bales.”
It may be that the gentleman who,
some months ago, wrote a series of
cotton articles for this paper put his
figures too high. But it is equally
plain that those who prospected at not
much over 3,000,000 bales put their fig
ures too low.
So far as these estimates are sup
posed to have had an influence or any
consequence upon regulating the price
of the staple, we believe that idea to be
mere bosh. Individuals here and there
may have been convinced pro or con,
but we do not believe that the price
was raised or depressed a particle by
anything which appeared in the Chron
icle and Sentinel or Constitutionalist.
HON. AMASA J. WALKER.
Very recently we had the pleasure
of making the acquaintance of Hon. ,
Amasa J. Waiker, L.L. D., who is, for
a brief period, sojourning at Aiken.
Mr. Walker is one of the venerable
and learned men of our common coun
try. His theory on finance haß been
published in the International Review,
and attracted great attention. He has
given a luminous explanation of the
greenback currency, the division of
parties on the money question, and
what he conceives to be the true
method of healing our business trou
bles. We take it that Mr. Walker
would have the authorities do for the
United States what the French econo
mists have done for France. We wish
him success in his endeavor, but fear
that the obstacles he would surmount
are made insuperable by the divided
interests of the country and the rage
of contending political factions.
