THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
SATURDAY, June 5, 1875.
Ex-Gov. Jenkins—The Governorship
of Georgia.
Quite a discussion, perhaps a prema
ture one, is now progressing in the pub
lic journals relative to the next Gover
norship of Georgia. Avery general
wish has been expressed that ex-Gov.
Jenkins should allow his name to be
brought forward for the office. When
ihis subject was first broached, we had
an accidental interview with the “old
Roman,” who took no pains to conceal
from us his disrelish of being dragged
again into public life, and, while feeling
highly complimented and gratified at
the testimonials of reverence from all
quarters, supplemented his views upon
the subject by an anecdote of Hon. How
ell Cobb, who declared that he “could
understand how a man might want to
be Governor of Georgia once, but could
not conceive how he would be fool
enough to desire it a second time.”
This incisive opinion of Howell Cobb
was repeated by ex-Gov. Jenkins as
thoroughly embodying his own senti
ments on the subject. We inferred at
once, from the well known candor and
honesty of our venerable a'nd distin
guished fellow citizen, that he had had
his fill of public honor and popular ap
plause ; that, at his time of life, it
would be folly to abandon a
happy home for the hurly-burly
of the Executive office; that his
ample income made him indepen
dent of all political preferment; that
he had had the singular good fortune
of seeing the evening of his days un
dimmed and spotless as they were il
lustrious ; that he at least would not
be tempted into the commission of a
mistake which has made so many of
our prominent characters ill at ease
and full of bitterness and disappoint
ment, by not knowing when to remain
contented, husbanding a well-earn
ed fame, instead of risking it. Unless
ex-Gov. Jenkins has had occasion to
change his mind recently, we believe
that his chief desire is to pass the re
mainder of his days tranquilly at home,
loved, honored, admired and trusted
by troops of friends, and without
an enemy on earth.
If Georgia was in a critical condition,
and needed rescue; if ex-Governor
J enkins, in such a case, was the only
man who could save his imperiled
State—as Belisarius was summoned to
save Rome from the spoiler—there
might be an “imperative necessity” for
him to come forth at the bidding of a
desperate people and preserve the
Commonwealth.
But no such emergency exists, thank
God, and, even if it, did, we are not so
poor in intellect and vigor to depend
for salvation upon any one man. Ex-
Governor Jenkins, himself, would be
the last person to think so. There are
plenty of high-minded and intelligent
gentlemen in Georgia capable of suc
ceeding Governor Smith and wielding
the baton of State with cour
age, firmness, moderation and
good sense. Why, then, much as thou
sands desire it, should Gov. Jenkins bo
prevailed upon, without any necessity
and against his inclinations, to leave
Iris quiet fireside for the anxieties of of
fice ? Why should he be tempted by
zealous friends to enter an arena which
he has abandoned ami for the contests
of which he now shrinks from with
horror ?
For our part, we think he has
chosen a judicious and philosophical
course, and has far more honor in re
tirement on his laurels—“like Cato
wise, like Aristides just”— than if he
should expose his wreath to the wither
ing storms of Gubernatorial strife. We
love to think of the sunset of his
life as Byron wrote of the orb
of day’s decline along Moreau
hills. Like the passing away of
that luminary, so the career of Chas.
J. J enkins
“Slow sinks more lovely ere his race be
run.”
Of him, too, we hope it may be writ
ten that the closing-scene was full of
glory and serenity; that his sun went
down as the Grecian planet—
Jsot as in Northern dimes, obscurely
bright,
But one unclouded, blaze of living light!”
Bristow. —At the Louisville Board of
l rade, on J une Ist, Secretary Bristow
thus spoke:
In my judgment there can be no return
of real and solid prosperity until we build
our financial system upon a sounder and
securer basis. It must be based upon mo
ney, upon that which 4 is recognized
thiough .ut the world; that which was an
intrinsic value, and which may be used not
only as a medium of exchange, but as a
representative of values everywhere. We
may have an apparent temporary prosperi
ty, may inflate values and produce an ab
normal activity, make one man rich and
many others poor by resorting to tempora
i y expedients, but Ii epeat, real, substan
tial, enduring prosperity is to be reached
only on the basis of a solid foundation of.
actual money.
Wipe out Congressional enormities
since 1866. Let the South alone. Then
you may have a basis of money, instead
of rags and lamp-black. That’s the
only way, Mr. Bristow.
A Home Thrust. —A Manchester
(England) correspondent of the New
York Commercial Advertiser says that
‘ the English and other foreign manu
facturers will think much more favora
bly of exhibiting their goods at the
Centennial exhibition in Philadelphia
next year if they can be officially as
sured that they will be permitted to
mark them in plain numbers with the
cost price and the price for which they
might be sold in this country, provid
ed there was no American protective
tariff.”
They will not be so permitted. If
the masses of this country, white and
black, only knew how they were plun
dered by New England and Middle
States protectionists, they would send
none but free traders to Congress.
Nordhoff.— The last letter~of Mr.
Nordhoff to the New York Herald is
very, interesting and principally devot
ed to the negro, as a laborer, a citizen,
a church member, a scholar and an
agriculturist. On our first page will be
found the bulk of this correspondence,
which will more than repay perusaL
Sherman’s March—A Problem of Boot
Leather and Subsistence—Justice to
an Enemy.
In Wilkes’ Spirit of the Times of May
29th appears the most trenchant and
ferocious onslaught upon Sherman’s
book we have chanced upon. The
writer, presumably Mr. Wilkes himself,
has entered upon the task with the vim
of a gladiator and the butchery of a
pugilist. Mr. Wiises is a truly loyal
man. He was a friend of Lincoln’s and
very sedulously cultivated Grant until
that worthy happened to drop him. In
deed it was George Wilkes, if we re
member well, who reconciled Beast But
ler and Ulysses, when the former sulk
ed over the latter’s report of his being
“bottled up” at Bermuda Hundreds by
Beauregard. When General Grant
“soured” on Wilkes, the editor of
the Spirit of the Times dipped his pen
in the quintessence of vitriol whenever
he had occasion to “make a targe” at
the President. What Sherman has done
to offend George Wilkes, we do not
know; but weighty must have been his
sin to deserve so merciless a lashing
from such a eat-o’-nine-tails wielded by
an arm of iron. We give a mild speci
men, which will not blister the page:
This whole affair of the “March to the
Sea” has been magnified into an undue
importance by the dreams of scholars on
the March of Xenophon, and the ignorance
of English military critics, as to the sur
face and sumptuary resources of the flow
ering paradise of one thousand miles of
soldierless Eden through which Sherman
and his rejoicing warriors marched. With
• the finest army under his banner that this
hemisphere had ever seen, and five rail;
roads rolling against his heels, and dump
ing their abundance on his rear, he had
nothing before him but a bummer’s march
—a mere problem of boot-leather and sub
sistence—the latter branch of which was
solved by the plenty of hundreds of es
tates which had never seen a soldier, and,
which, from their remoteness, had never
been taxed even to supply the Rebel army.
It was a boisterous, happy jubilee, and Ihe
roystering soldiers, as they swung along
to the anthem of John Brown, unvexed by
the slightest fear, may be said to have met
with their only disasters from the pigs and
turkeys, which would casually throw them
down by running with rank confidence be
tween their legs.
Wilkes is about right in his view of
that exploit, and Sherman is no better
than Gen. Boum, in the opera of the
Grande Ducliesse, when he makes a
piff, paff, pouff boast of it.
The prime endeavor of Mr. Wilkes
is to prove Sherman to be not only a
humbug but a madman. To substan
tiate the lunacy of the General, beyond
cavil, he cites his convention with Gen.
Johnston. Now, we respectfully enter
a caveat right there. That incident in
his military career Sherman may ap
peal to with pride and confidence. It
was the sanest and most truly patriotic
act of his life. Wilkes and his follow
ing were the genuine madmen and
fools who brought to perdition this
rare manifestation of Sherman’s sa
gacity and common sense. When
George Wilkes essays to create the
impression that Sherman has nothing
to brag of as a great commander, we
agree with him considerably. But
when the aforesaid editor of the Spirit
of the Times has the hardihood to be
smirch the solitary deed for which
Sherman should have everlasting
credit, we say to him that he is a viper
guawiilg a file, and, in attempting to
prove the General a madman, has
most elegantly and effectually de
monstrated his own asininity. We do
not fancy Gen. Sherman. We think
him an overrated man; and while we
may forgive his barbarities we cannot
forget them. But it does go against our
grain and the spirit of truth to witness
such a cur as Geo. Wilkes barking at
the heels of the General of the Armies
and attempting to defile and wipe out
the one glorious performance of his
life—a performance which will remain
a green spot in his memory when all
that surrounds it is a blasted heath.
Gen. Hayes, the Republican Nominee
in Ohio.
The Republican nominee for Govern
or of Ohio swore he never would be a
candidate against Judge Taft, but be
was nevertheless. It is so much the
fashion now-a-day to say this sort of
thing that nobody is fooled by it, un
less they so elect to be. Gen. Hayes
has a fine military record as a Federal
soldier, and, though a politician, stood
honestly in Congress. We learn from
the New York Herald that he beat
Hon. George H. Pendleton for Gov
ernor in 1869 by a majority of 7,500,
after beating Allen G. Thurman for an
office the preceding term. By a ma
jority still more stunning he was beat
en in his district for Congress by
Banning, a renegade Republican, in
1872, but was thus saved the shower of
obloquy that followed the Credit Mo
biliers and salary grabbers. He was
hot for negro suffrage and submitting
it to the people as an amendment to
the Constitution, and this has its
weight in his favor now with the West
ern reserve counties, who will also re
gard him with favor on account of his
orthordoxy.
It may be observed that a tremen
dous change has come over the dreams
of this country since Gen. Hayes van
quished Pendleton and Thurman in the
elections of 1868 and 1869. When Ban
ning, a "renegade Republican,” could
beat him out of his boots in 1872, what
will become of him when “old Bill”
Allen sallies forth in 1875 ? We are
glad indeed that Gen. Hayes is put up
as the special champion of the XVth
Amendment and the Western Reserve
negrophilists. That will make the
issue square with Gov. Allen, and from
the result we shall know whether or
not Ohio has yet had her dose of the
Reconstruction programme. The proba
bilities are that she has sickened, like
other States, well nigh to death on that
subject, and that, in the TPall elections,
poor Hayes will know what Beecher
meant by having to experience “a slice
of the day of Judgment.”

TWO GOOD LETTERS.
A Northern Man to a Rebel General —
The Era of Peace and Reconciliation.
| Atlanta Herald.]
We have been permitted to read and
use the following letters, which we
commend to the gentlemen who believe
in the “ bloody shirt:”
Atlanta, G a, May 28,1875.
Gen. Clement A. Evans, Augusta, Ga.:
Dear Sir : Some three weeks ago I
was in Chicago, and read in one of the
papers there the following extracts
from your speech on the occasion of
laying the corner-stone of the Confed
erate Monument at Augusta, Ga.:
“Let us do nothing to keep alive the
passions of war. To study its lessons
is prudence ; to profit by its teachings
is wisdom ; but to stir up the old ani
mosities is madness.”
“The voice of this monument will
not be for war, but for peace.
“It will say to us, the Confederacy
has expired. Its great life went out on
the purple tide of blood that flowed
from the hearts of its sons. We have
buried it; we don’t intend to exhume
its remains.
“Wo were utterly defeated, and we
dismiss our resentments. Sadly we
furled the dear, dear old banner of the
cross of stars, which we followed
throu.-h many a storm of shot and
shell; but we take with the true hand
of Southern honor the staff that holds
the flag of the stars and stripes.
“I respond with truest feeling to-day
to the fraternal words of Gen. Bartlett,
spoken at the centennial celebration of
the first battle of the old revolution.”
I take my first leisure since my re
turn to express to you my thanks for
those words. In several of the North
western cities I was questioned about
you, and especially as to what extent
your words reflected the sentiments of
the Southern people, From a resi
dence of nearly five years in Georgia,
and a constant mingling with the peo
ple of nearly all portions of the State,
always known to them as a Northern
man, my opportunities for getting at
the public pulse upon the subject
referred to, has been large, and it gives
me pleasure to be able to assure my
friends that the sentiments you utter
ed were such as I have generally heard
expressed by the class of men who
transact the business and largely shape
the public sentiment of this State.
You, sir, were among the first of the
men I became acquainted within the
South, and the cordiality with which I
have everywhere been received and
treated by the Southern people is ample
evidence to me that you spoke the sen
timents of the representative men of
the State, thousands of whom gave
their all for the cause they loved even
dearer than life. I know the feelings
and sentiments of the people of the
great Northwest; I know them well
how truly and earnestly they desire
peace anu prosperity in the South—
and I assure you that their hearts beat
a response to the words you spoke at
Augusta. The signs of the times plainly
indicate that the minds and hearts of
the people are shaping to peacefully
and harmoniously work out the destiny
of this great nation. Side by side
march those recently opposed in deadly
battle, to strew with flowers the graves
of fallen heroes, and where but recently
moved tbe destructive engine of war,
now move the messengers of love and
good will, as yet subjected to many
temptations and demoralizing in
fluences; yet the virtues of forbear
ance, patience and charity are daily
illustrating the social lives of our peo
ple, no less conspicuously than their
loyalty a few years ago to their respec
tive flags was the index of their patri
otism. Let us believe that their moral
sight has been quickened, that duty
bas grown clearer to the mind, faith
warmer in the heart. Blending the
temper of forgiveness with an unflinch
ing integrity of purpose, weeping with
the bereaved, but catching the sub
lime spirit of those who sealed their
testimony with their blood, may we not
hope that when the sun shall dawn upon
the Centennial Day of our Nations
birth, it may also dawn upon a united
people, imploiiug strength from above
to exercise ourselves in every heroic
virtue for the vindication of right and
the overthrow of wrong ; for a union of
hearts and hands, that on that festive
day, from every hill and In every valley
throughout the length and breadth of
this whole country may be sung,
“ Biessd be the Lord God of Israel; for
He has visited and redeemed His peo
ple.” Then will the voices of our Na
tion’s sous and daughters everywhere
“ echo to the music of the feast,” and
three million voices join in the National
anthem, and the whole civilized world
wiil shout Amen l I appreciate, my
dear sir, more than I have words to ex
press, the good influence of your words,
and I again thank you for them.
I am, with high esteem,
Yours, very respectfully,
William Goodnow.
Augusta, Ga., June 2,1875.
Mr. Wm. Goodnow, Atlanta,- Ga.:
Dear Sir : — Your letter of yesterday,
commending the pacific sentiments of
the speech which I had the honor to
make recently before an audience of
several thousand Southern people, is
most gratifying to me, because I know
you to be a representative man of that
large body of Northern citizens who
have received a most cordial welcome
by the Southern people to homes in
their midst. Your extensive acquaint
ance with the political sentiment of th e
country,especially of the extreme South
ern and of the Northwestern States gives
weight to your evidence as to the patri
otic wishes of Southern men, and adds
force to your declaration that “the
people of the great Northwest, truly
and earnestly desire the peace and
prosperity of the South.” Asa busi
ness man, and as a Northern man cor
dially received into a permanent South
ern home, as a patriot, and a Christian,
you observe with pleasure that the era
of good feeling is coming. A better
understanding between the people of
the North and South is securing fra
ternity. In that res toration wise coun
sels will everywhere prevail. Political
virtue xyUl have an early resurrection,
and the threatening financial clouds
will break in prospering showers.
The thinking men of the whole
country will join you in your congratu
lations on the speedy cessation of all
war feelings. If we ought not to fight
with the sword like men, let us not
quarrel like children. It is neither
politic, nor patriotic, nor manly to make
now a war of words and measures in
personal and political enmity. Spite
fulness becomes neither of the great
sections of this great land, and the cost
of such a war to the country is the de
cay of its prosperity, the loss of its
patriotism, and the death of its man
hood.
I beg leave to thank you for the let
ter which you have kindly written,
and, joining you in its patriotic senti
ments, express the hope that there may
be such an interchange of sentiments
and personal visits by the Northern
and Southern people during this year
as to prepare all for the centennial cel
ebration of the great ideas and great
deeds of our revolutionary forefathers.
I am most sincerely your friend,
Clement A. Evans.
