Another Know-Nothing Movement—
Who Are in the Plot.
The Republican party, in despera
tion, may attempt to revivo the old
Know-Nothing organization, hoping
thereby, on false and venomous issues,
to retain a hold on power. Senator Thur
man stated, the other day, at a Demo
cratic Conference, that such was the
purpose of the chief fuglemen of the
Radical faction, and the course of cer
tain Republican papers, pictorial and
otherwise, would seem to make this
assurance doubly sure. The Indiana
polis Sentinel, probably alarmed at this
new move to an old position, says “the
leaders in the crusade are the editor of
the New York Times, an Englishman
who has never become an American
citizen, the editor of the Buffalo Com
mercial Advertiser, a naturalized Eng
lishman, the editor of the Cincinnati
Gazette, a naturalized Irishman, and
Nast, a naturalized Bavarian. Probably
some of the most active allies in the
no-popery and anti-foreign campaign
are of the same class. Americans don’t
take naturally to bigotry and proscrip
tion. They may, or may not, like Ca
tholics, but they can’t see their way
clearly to denying any man liberty of
conscience. It takes men who have
seen that thing done elsewhere to pro
pose putting it in operation in this
country.”
An attentive reader of the journals
above mentioned can not fail to ob
serve that there is a deal of truth in
these surmises. The New York Times
is not so violently bitten.with the idea,
but occasionally puts in a feeler, and
now and then a sturdy blow, not so
strenuously directed at foreigners as
at their religion. Harpei''s Weekly,
through N ast’s pictures and Eugene
Lawrence’s blood and thunder essays,
never omits an opportunity to carica
ture foreigners and abuse members of
the Romish church, while idealizing ne
groes and insulting Southern men and
women who will not dishonor their con
victions. The sole aim and object of
the so-called Journdl of Civilization ap
pears to be a renewal of those scenes
of twenty years ago, which dis
graced the American character, and
are still remembered, by those
who innocently or misguidedly partici
pated in them, with mortification.
When Irishmen or Germans were need
ed, as substitutes or regulars, to fight
the “battle of the Union,” Harper's
Weekly took good care to flatter
them and their nationalities. So soon
as these men had died or suffered
for New England theories, and, many
survivors, repenting of their delusion,
had enlisted, as citizens under the
Democratic banner, to help restore
ihe liberties of the whole country so
grievously imperiled by Congressional
Reconstruction laws—the proprietors
of Harper's Weekly turned about and
employed their wealth and influence
to degrade, brow-beat and destroy
them. No greater curse could be
brought upon this country than a war
of religion or a feud between na
tive and foreign-born citizens. And
if such a consummation be not de
signed by the publishers of Harper's
Weekly, what is the meaning of. their
wanton assaults ? The Cincinnati Ga
zette is almost on a par with the so
called Journal of Civilization. Its su
preme object apparently is to demon
strate that the Roman Catholic vote is
almost solidly Democratic, and there
fore, being composed largely, but not
overwhelmingly, of foreigners, the peo
ple of this country must perforce band
together, under the .black banner of
Radicalism, in order to keep the Pope
out of the White House 1 Of course,
all of this is a mere bugaboo, but it is
adapted to frighten nervous people, and
the agitators of the scheme no doubt
reason unto themselves that they can
take any port in a storm and that all
is fair in love, war and politics. We
believe the machinations of these pow
erful journals will fail, but they may
cuuse much mischief. The people of
America do not intend to be dominated
by any church politically, but they do
mean to give all churches liberty of
conscience, so long as they do not tran
scend their proper sphere and foolishly
emerge from their regular orbit. When
any church attempts to pervert its
piivilege, it will be, by lawful means,
reminded that it has abused its func
tion. Until then, let the ghost of Know
Nothingism keep in the back ground,
and, if necessary, turn its attention to
another planet. This country wants
peace. The kiud of peace offered by
the new Know Nothing journals is too
well represented in the desolation of the
last ten years to make anybody but a
fool desire further dosing by quack
doctors.
Louisiana-
Elsewhere we publish copious extracts
from a long and most interesting letter
addressed by Mr. Charles Nordhoff to
the New York Herald. Mr. Nordhoff,
hates to relinquish the idea that uni
versal suffrage was a blunder and a
crime, but does not hesitate to declare
that tho results have been disastrous
and disgraceful. By their fruits we
know them ; and if Mr. Nordhoff will
continue to show what sort of fruit the
Amendments produce, the people of
the Union will spare him any further
trouble of demonstrating, by double
back-action, that grapes might pos
sibly grow from thistles. The men
who ruined Louisiana, from War
moth to Kellogg, were men of in
telligence and superior education.
They could never have succeeded
ia their atrocious designs had not the
laws of Congress, since 1865, put wea
pons In their hands, before which the
wealth, the virtue and culture of the
Southern people were trampled in the
mire. Seeing this and knowing this,
w hat man or set of men who claim to
be patriots can for an instant counte
nance, endorse, consecrate or accept
these monstrous laws ? To us the idea
is, to the last degree, astounding. We
may and should tolerate them, while
they remain upon the statute, written
in blood and sealed with bayonets ; but
agree to perpetuate thdfci, when they
can be put aside by lawful means—
never! never!
The-Greeley Movement—A Difference
of Opinion.
We dare say it would be impossible
for us to convince our brother of the
Athens Watchman that the Greeley
movement of 1872 was a stupendous
blunder, and therefore, under no other
name or circumstances, should be again
essayed by the Democratic party. But
we shall join issue with him very
briefly on a few points.
Our friend compares us to an obsti
nate juror who thinks the eleven other
jurymen are fools. This is a forced
comparison, but when a juror has been
proved, by events, to have been more
sagacious than his companions, while
not taunting them with idiocy, he can
at least claim the right of reviewing
tho verdict. The Watchman says, for
example, that the Greeley movement
“ enabled the Democratic party to
achieve the splendid victories of the
past year or so. It loosened the tongues
of ‘old Billy Allen,’ Senator Eaton
and numbers of others who were hope
less of success until it prepared the
way for them.”
If old “Billy Allen” and Senator
Eaton had their tongues loosened by
the Greeley campaign, which we by no
means allow, still their utterances were
so completely in antagonism to the
whole Baltimoro-Cincinnati programme
that very far from conceding it to be
the true doctrine or the right policy,
their grand victories were won in direct
opposition to it. Again, Mr. Beck, of
Kentucky, admitted recently that Gov.
Allen had “rescued the Democratic
party from annihilation.” What immi
nent annihilation was this but the
result of the Greeley movement ? If
sending the Democratic party to the
brink of perdition by one set of princi
ples, only to be rescued by the annunci
ation of a contrary doctrine, is true
wisdom, we are at a loss to
understand in what folly consists. No
body has asserted that Grant could
have been defeated in 1872 by a
straight-out platform; but we are pre
pared to assert that the lower house of
Congress would not have fallen, by a
two-thirds majority, into the hands of
Radicals. The Seymour and Blair
platform was a good one, but the feel
ings of the war were too rampant then
and it happened also that the first man
on the Presidential ticket went about
the country apologizing, explaining and
repudiating the best plank in it. At
that time, too, the negroes were voted
solidly for Radical candidates, and a
number of States, now Democratic,
were bound hand and foot by the very
Reconstruction acts which Mr. Grefley
helped on their passage, and from the
villainy of which we are gradually
emerging, mainly because the whole
country, North and South, has had
bitter experience of their atrocity.
The Watchman thus concludes :
But this is no time for controversy
among Democratic newspapers. Let the
past bury its dead. It matters not what
men have been heretofore. Are they right
now ? This is the Important question. No
one in the Democratic party proposes to
re-enact the Greeley campaign in 1876,
and we don’t believe in lighting wind-mills,
nor will wo quietly submit to one juror at
tempting to prove that eleven others are
d—d fools because they don’t agree with
him. In other words, we cannot consent
that one-fiftieth of the Democratic party
shall unchurch the remainder, when they
were themselves schismatics.
It may be, as the Watchman says,
that the Greeley movement will not
be re-enacted in 1876. Heaven grant
it! Still, undof a different name, but
with similar propositions, there is an
effort being made to revive it. The
thing remains and is urged in some
quarters, although tho chief actor is
no more. Mark Twain says a king
of the Sandwich Islands dearly loved
man-steak, but was prevented by the
missionaries from eating it. He flanked
these pious men by swallowing three
times a day shark soup, which con
tained all of the essential principles.
The Democracy In 1876 want neither
the man of 1872 or his “essential prin
ciples.” If our friend of the Watchman
imagines that Democrats who are thus
determined constitute but one-fiftieth of
the party he will be disagreeably remind
ed of his miscalculation, in case the
New York politicians and some South
ern-leaders compel the Democracy of
1876 to repeat the blunders of 1872.
We trust, however, that all differences
composed, the grand old Democratic
party will, with its own standard high
advanced, and its own true leaders in
the van, march in solid phalanx
to an overwhelming triumph.
Gov. Smith and Secretary Fish.
The Chronicle and Sentinel or yester
day contained a letter from Gov. Smith
to Secretary Fish, one year old, which
would have been well enough In its way
had the answer of tho latter been pub
lished at the same time. We learn,
from a gentleman who asserts he saw
the whole correspondence, that Mr.
Fish promptly apologized for sending
the test oath to Georgia, stated that it
was a clerical mistake, and then en
closed to his Excellency a modified
oath which was presented to Major
Hillyer, who took It without hesita
tion and is now the duly constituted
commissioner to represent this State
at the Philadelphia Centennial.
If this statement be Incorrect, Gov
ernor Smith, Major Hillyer or the
Chronicle and Sentinel can put our in
formant right. It would seem, in the
interest of truth and fair dealing, that
the matter should be cleared up, for
the sake of Governor Smith as well as
Secretary Fish.
Bonanza.— The Louisville Courier
Journal, condensing bonanza stock
news, says consolidated Virginia a few
days ago declared a dividend amount
ing in tho aggregate to $1,080,000. A
new stock exchange has been organized
at San Francisco called “The Pacific.”
Forty seats have already been taken,
and $5,000 for each paid in. The mem
bership is limited to eighty, aud it Is
thought the entire number will be filled
by the first of June. The rate of com
mission fixed by the constitution Is one
half of one per cent, on purchases and
sales, though no member will be pre
vented from making special agreements
at lower rates. No sales of stock will
be allowed, however, of a par value less
than SSOO.
Colonel E. W. Cole—A Noble Letter
Handsomely Expressed.
The following note has been received
by a gentleman of this city, addressed
by the writer to one interested in the
Georgia Railroad. He thinks that its
sentiments are noble and disinterested,
and while it was not Intended for the
public eye, tho person to whom it was
sent foels that it ought to be made
known and takes the liberty of pub
lishing it, and tho responsibility, too, as
an act of simple justice to the late Su
perintendent of ,the Georgia Railroad :
Office of President,
Nashville, Chattanooga and I
St. Louis Railroad, j
Nashville, Tens., May 17, 1875. J
My Dear Sir: Referring to my short
conversation with you on Thursday eve
ning, I request to say that severing my
connection with the management of your
road—a relation which has been always
agreeable and pleasant to me—will not
weaken in the least my desire for its suc
cess in the future. Some of the members
of the Board know that, for some time, I
had cherished the desire to lessen my re
sponsibilities of office, and your road is
most distant from my headquarters. What
ever I can do properly by counsel or inllu
ence, in favor of your road and the credit
of your company, will be done freely, fully
and cheerfully without office or compensa
tion, and I regret the occasion was not pre
sented for me to express my feeling in this
regard before the Board in session.
Your friend, most truly,
E. W. Cole.
A Disfranchised Man —Gen. Lee’s Ad
jutant and Reconstruction.
The Oolumbuß Enquirer, of the 18th
inst., contains the following :
There’s hardly a. man in the South who
does not know by reputation General R. H.
Chilton, the distinguished Adjutant Gen
eral of Gen. R. E. Lee. He is now the
President of the Columbus Manufacturing
Company. The “ best government the
world ever saw” yet refuses to grant him
the light of citizenship because he was
educated at West Point, an officer in the
U. 8. Army, and afterwards joined the
armies of Virginia and his native South.
The educated gentleman is not allowed to
vote while the most ignorant CufTee in the
land can.
The General was summoned to serve as
a juror in the Superior Court and yoster
day wont there to make his excuses. When
tho time came he stated to the Judgo that
he was the only one in the city to attend to
his business and so could not well leave
it. Judge Johnson did not think this a
good plea, when the General added that he
had no civil rights under the Government
—thus occupying the position of a foreign
er. Judge Johnson then excused him, say
ing in substance: “ If you have no interest
in the country, the country can have none
in you.” General 0., in answer, replied:
“ May it please tho Court, I have as much
interest in the country, and especially in
the South, as any man," and left.
We were not present, but give the report
of several lawyers, aud only mention It be
cause of many absurd rumors that were
afloat yesterday. Wo give the substance,
if not the exact words.
Comment unnecessary, save this:
Behold what Reconstruction and the
XlVth and XVth Amendments accom
plish. Read that scene in Court, pon
der it, Democrats, and then agree to
endorse, consecrate, accept and per
petuate these laws—if you can.
The Baltimore Sun. — A few days
ago the Baltimore Sun celebrated its
39th year by anew suit of type and a
modest reminder of its wonderful pro
gress from infancy to manhood. The
Sun is one of the best papers in the
world, as well as one of the most
prosperous. Mr. Abel, its founder, will
leave a monument behind him, in his
famous journal, more enduring than
marble or brass. Newspaper men would
probably regret the non-appearance of
this luminary more than any other
exchange. It is tho univorso in epigram,
a thorough epitome of progress, the
Mezzofanti of the press. Long life to
tho proprietor of the Sun, and even
greater honors ! It is noodless to wish
long life to such an orb as the paper. It
will be perpetual.
Judge Loohrane, of Georgia, has been
happily described as “a political free dealer
with Republican variations.”— Rome Com
mercial.
Is he the ouly Judge in Georgia of
whom this can be said?
