THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
SATI HI)A\ August 7,1875.
Mr. Stephens fur Governor —An in
likely Contingency.
The Rome Courier favors the nomi
nation of Hon. A. H. Stephens for Gov
ernor. A contributor to that paper
says “it is of the utmost importance to
the good people of Georgia, that they
have as their chief magistrate an hon
est, incorruptible and competent states
man. Such a one is Alexander H.
Stephens. That this gentleman is
honest, no man acquainted with the
history of this country for the last
thirty years will presume to deny. His
record shows him as free from corrup
tion as a virtuous woman of impurity.
Is he competent? Many men are
honest enough, but unfortunately, they
do not possess the requisite ability. If
Mr. Stephens is not competent for the
position, who is ? Who, in this coun
try, understands the principles of gov
ernment better than he? Who has
more experience as a statesman ? Who
understands the wants of his native
State better than he? Let the honest,
intelligent citizen answer. His fame as
a statesman is as wide as the civilized
world. His reputation is made. It is
only left for him to maintain it. Such
a man would have no other motive
than the good of his country. Who
would make more sacrifices to restore
Georgia to Jher former prosperity
than he ? Who is abler than he to do
it ? In this fast and developing age,
honesty is the qualification needed in
an Executive officer. Away with the
motto, ‘Principles, not men,’ as if an
honest and competent man could have
any other than correct principles. Give
me such a man, with the nerve to exe
cute, and I doubt not as to the results.
Let each voter’s motto be, when he se
lects one upon whom to bestow his suf
frages, an honest and competent man,
with correct principles. Apply this
true motto to Mr. Stephens, and you
will find that he fills it to the jot ana
tittle.’’
Now all of this is well said and per
fectly true ; but Mr. Stephens would
rather be, in our opinion, a member of
Congress, representing the Bth District
of Georgia, than Governor of the State.
In spite of the inclement seasons of
Washington, Mr. Stephens manages to
keep in excellent condition, and the
political atmosphere there is suitable
to his tasto and talents. While we be
lieve that he would shrink from no
sacrifice of personal comfort or pro
fessional bias, he most probably pre
fers to allow younger and more active
men to strive for Gubernatorial hon
ors. He u looks around and sees
that Georgia is not so poor in
honest, competent and intelligent
men that he must be forced
from one orbit of usefulness
to another. Besides, a bird in the hand
is worth two in the bush ; and the po
sition he now occupies allows him a
long recreation during the year, while
the wear and tear of the Executive of
fice is exasperating and perpetual. It
is true that, if nominated for Governor,
he would be elected by an overwhelm
ing vote, such as few men, it may be>
could command ; and it is also true
that, as Governor, he would be near
Crawfordville and Liberty Hall, places
dearer to his heart than any other
spots on earth. But we still remain
convinced that Mr. Stephens is satis
fied to be a Congressman; that he
would not willingly enter the race for
Gubernatorial honors; that he is not
likely to allow his name to be used in
any such connection ; and that he is
sensible in so doing.
Our friend of the Rome Courier in
suggesting Mr. Stephens for Governor,
is animated by patriotic zeal and an in
tense belief in the commanding quali
ties of the Sage of Liberty Hall. Yield
ing to no man in respect for Mr. Ste
phens personally or politically, we nev
ertheless think he will not be nominated
for Governor, and that it is mistaken
kindness to make him believe that his
acceptance of such a trust is an urgent
or imperative necessity.
English Justice.— The punishment
of Col. Baker, the chum of the Prince
of Wales, and brother to the great ex
plorer, for an indecent assault upon an
unprotected female in a railway car,
proves that English justice recognizes
no distinction in crime. Once the
Queen was asked to interfere and par
don a nobleman convicted of felony,
on the ground that he was a man of
rank and high position. His petition
was returned with the simple indorse
ment : “The greater the criminal, the
greater the crime.”
Col. Baker has made a great gap in
Bayard Taylor’s line—
“ The bravest are the teaderest,”
He is a man of conspicuous valor,
when fighting Russian or Ashantee
men, but he behaved like a mangy cur
when accidentally confronted with a
defenceless woman.
Benjamin.— Mr. L. Q. Washington
writes from London that “the most
prominent American living here, how
ever, is Mr. Benjamin, former Secretary
of State for the Confederacy. He has,
in spite of all prejudice, won his way
to the very front rank of the English
bar, and is one of the most successful
pleaders in the courts of Guildhall and
Westminster, making his £IO,OOO a year
easily, and looking almost as young
and quite as cheerful as he did fifteen
years ago.” We hope he is not doing
with his income in London what he did
with it in New Orleans—bolstering all
kinds of losing experiments.
A Great Lack.— Cardinal Cullen
says : “There is no great Irish popu
lar leader now living—no able, honor
able Irishman—like O’Connell. Were
there such men living something might
result from the home rule movement.
Isaac Butt has not sufficient ability.
He is a clever man, but he is not ade
quate to the task. People differ whether
home rule would be better for Ireland,
even if it could be secured.”
Yes we dare say the difference about
home rule in Ireland is about as dis
tracting and bcmuddled as the cur
rency question in the United States.
Other countries want grett leaders
beside Ireland.
Corn at tlie South—lmportance of its
Culture.
If a New York Times correspondent
is to be believed, the delegates sent by
New Orleans to the White Sulphur
Springs Cotton Convention were not as
well informed as they should be, or else
had been so gangrened mentally by cot
ton speculation that they were blind to
everything else. We learn from the cor
respondent that after “closely cross
questioning a number of cotton factors,
buyers and weighers whom he names,
he at length extorts from the gather
ing the reluctant confession that it is
impossible to cultivate upon Louisiana
soil food to eat. The planting of corn
for example is the mere exhibition of
harmless but ruinous imbecility, the
grain produced barely restoring the
seed originally planted, with so meagre
a return as to be insignificant. Cow
peas are the only really nutritious pro
duct which rewards industry, and so
obvious is this, that the people as a
community are solemnly warned in
humble imitation of the Brahmin, to
eschew the flesh of swine, and leave to
the unregenerate African for all future
time, the succulent delights of hog and
hominy.”
We have no doubt that it is the policy
of the East and West to encourage this
idea, and, we are, sorry to say, that
men in our own midst are not slow to
increase the delusion. The New Orleans
Times, however, rebukes these cotton
men and says “if the correspondent of
the Times had, during the late conflict,
traveled through the prairie regions of
Alabama and Mississippi, the vast area
of maize far more resembling an inland
sea than anything we can call to mind,
might have modified this opinion.”
It adds: “A flying trip through the
parish of St. James might even to-day
disclose to his astonished vision corn
crops such as the most fertile region of
the West never for an instant contem
plated. That our planters, with a mis
taken policy, have heretofore neglect
ed cereal products is quite true, but a
failure to plant and the incapacity of
the soil to produce, are two altogether
different matters. For probably the last
time wili the sapient investigator of our
affairs have even this excuse for pro
nouncing the country devoid of tlio
necessaries of life. It is greatly to be
feared the present year’s experience
will develop the fact, to our neighbor’s
dismay, that the country is far too
plethoric of just these commodities.
We have raised a crop of corn, which,
it is thought, will last for eighteen
months. The next crop will not only
do this, but feed all the hogs the
country can consume. Possibly after
that with the annually increasing crops
of esculents, w-e may discover that we
are quite independent of other locali
ties, and the commodities heretofore
shipped here might as well seek another
market.”
When Southern planters raise plenty
of corn and feed themselves and their
stock at home, we shall hear loud
squealing among those who pushed us
so savagely during the war, and have
made our burden almost intolerable
since 1865, by unfriendly legislation.
The South has all the elements of
self-dependence; and she only needs to
assert her powers, by self-sustenance,
to prove it and grow prosperous. The
main reliance of both East and West is
that cotton planters are fools, and that
the fools shall submit to be robbed ac
cording to their folly. That calcula
tion has come out pretty straight, for
many years; but it may not win al
ways. If our planters would take a
good newspaper and plant more grain,
they would not be so desperately poor
and so completely at the mercy of
strangers.
Gush.— President Gregory, of the
Illinois Industrial University, said, in
an address before the lowa Baptist
Ministerial Association : “Never read
the daily papers. No man of culture
or literary ambition, or who desires to
improve his mind, would do it. He
would as soon ask his servant to empty
h pail of slops on his head every day
from the chamber window as to read
the daily papers. They are mere hash.
They have no great leading thoughts
in them—nothing to inspire the mind—
and their influence is pernicious.”
We can see the old gentleman growl
ing at the house-keeper because his
“daily paper Was missing at breakfast.”
Can it be that President Gregory reads
only weekly papers, such as Day's Do
ings, Police Gazette, Jonah's Gourd Vine,
etc. Naughty boy!
Germany.— A letter from the old
country to one of the New York papers
says: “Since 1872 the balance of trade
has been against Germany to the tune
of six hundred millions of dollars;
that is, her imports have exceeded by
that amount her exports. Living is
twice as dear at Berlin as it was prior
to the late war, and the population
have already run through the driblets
of the French indemnity. Herr Camp
hausen, Secretary of the Treasury, is
already booked to clap on increased
taxes for 187 G, in order to meet the
vast royal and imperial requirements.”
War and glory are always followed by
popular humiliations. Men may get
“reputations at the cannon’s mouth,”
but many of them, alas, do so at the
expense of the mouths of human be
ings.
The Public Debt. —Some obliging in
dividual has boiled down the state
ment of the public debt for the month
of July thus: Total, $2,264,923,509,
which is made up as follows : Bearing
interest in coin, $1,709,491,300; bearing
interest in lawful money, $14,678,000;
on which interest has ceased since ma
turity, $10,678,270; bearing no interest,
$502,965,478; interest, $27,110,460. Cash
in the Treasury, $137,529,670. Debt,
less cash in Treasury August 1, 1875,
$2,127,393,333. Decrease of debt during
the past month, $1,294,887.
Rents— The shoddy aristocracy are
not so rich as they used to be. Rents
are tumbling everywhere at the North.
We read that, at Newport, Mrs. G. Fran
cis Train’s villa, which formerly
brought $4,500, has just been leased
for $1,500, and other householders
have reduced their prices correspond
ingly.
Some Light on the Money Problem —
Beck, of Kentucky, Puts the Matter
Plainly.
Perhaps some of our contemporaries
may understand what the true Demo
cratic idea of the currency question is
by attentively perusing the following
extract from the speech of Hon. James
B. Beck, delivered at Covington, Ky.,
last Friday week ;
The great clamor is going up now all
over the country about the Democratic
party being inflationists and repudiation
ists. An alarm is sought to be created be
cause of our action in that regard. What
is the trouble? It is this: The Radical
party do not intend that the paper money
of the country shall become good. They
are the men that are making it bad. They
are the men that imposed unjust burdens
upon it, that are keeping it in its present
condition. Notwithstanding all their pre
tenses, they intend to keep it so. They
made the Custom dues payable in gold.
Why was that done? It was done still fur
ther to protect monopolies. They made
the interest on the public debt payable in
gold, so that the bondholders alone should
get gold. The bondholders have got pos
session of this country. The very first act
of Gen. Grant was entitled “An act to
strengthen the public credit,” and was no
j more nor less than legalized robbery. It
cannot be styled by any other name and
the truth be told about it. These bonds
were payable in the legal money of the
country. They were bought with green
backs, paid for in greenbacks at par, and
the greenback was created by the same
act that authorized the issuing of
bonds. Every greenback is indorsed upon
the back of it that it is to be receivable at
its face value for all debts, public and pri
vate, except interest on the public debt and
Customs dues; and yet the first act of Gen.
Grant’s Administration was to make all
the principal of those bonds payable in
gold, and the premium on gold at that tithe
made an additional burden on the people of
$500,000,000. So infamous was the proposi
tion that old Thad. Stevens, bad as he was,
in 1868,when the proposition was first made,
rose in his place and declared that if his
party was going to commit an outrage such
as that he would abandon it and vote with
the Democratic party. We defeated it then.
Hooper, of Massachusetts, brought it up
again, and we again defeated it. General
Grant came into office on the 4th of March,
1869. He wanted the bonds paid in gold,
and in less than forty-eight hours after the
bill was introduced it passed both Houses,
received the signature of the President,and
became the law of the land, and the tax
payers of the country were robbed of $500,-
000,000. There are men now at the
head of the Republican party who
were mere paupers before that bill
passed, that aro millionaires to-day. The
struggle has been from that day to this to
keep the paper back and to keep the bonds
in advance. Let the Government to-day
declare that she will receive her paper for
her Custom dues, and, my word for it, it
will be as good as gold in a year. Why
should not the bonds of the United States
be taxed? Why should not men who are
protected by the Government and own mil
lions of bonds pay their taxes like other
men? Why should the national banker get
the money of this people at one per cent.,
as he does now, and then loan it to the peo
ple at six, ten. or fifteen per cent.? No
government would do it except such a gov
ernment as we have got, managed by the
Radical party. The struggle is going on
to-day, as it always has been, between the
few and the many. It is the old struggle,
the old claim that the mass of mankind
are bridled and saddled, while a favored
few are born booted and spurred, ready to
ride them; and they ought to be ridden if
they will go to the polls and vote for Radi
cal policy in the face of facts as well known
as these facts are. No people ever were
freed that voluntarily surrendered their
liberties. All history is false and ail ex
perience is a lie, if any people ever recover
ed their liberty when they had once volun
tarily surrendered it.
Northern Ku-Klux. —Williamson
county, Ills., has just celebrated her
27th assassination, growing out of a
feud between two families. The Cin
cinnati Gazette comments upon this
vendetta as follows;
This cold-blooded butchery has been
going on for two years or more. Men have
been shot down while sitting in their houses,
riding on horseback or in wagons, or walk
ing along the public highway. Not only
members of the two families, but friends or
acquaintances, or persons who publicly
comment upon the murders, are shot down
without a note of warning. So far, accord
ing to our advices, no one has been pun
ished. There is a reign of terror in the
county, and the officers whose duty it is to
execute the laws are afraid to act. Thus
the assassins are permitted to do as they
please, and to live when they ought to be
hung.
Well, why don't you send for Sheri
dan? That’s the way you managed
with the South. Sauce for goose ought
to be sauce for gander.
J ohnsoniana. — The late ex-President
was “ buried under a willow from the
tomb of Napoleon.” The Cincinnati
Gazette says Mr. Johnson “talked so
much about the Constitution of his
country that the one idea had dwarfed
his intellect until he seemed to imagine
that he had special charge of that sa
cred instrument and that in his keep
ing would it only be safe.” Well, he
took it along with him, amendments
and all, and much good may it do him !
“ Sweet.”— Colonel Claiborne Snead,
presiding officer, and Lieutenant Colonel
R. B. Nisbet, orator of the Third Georgia
Re-union, yesterday wero presented by the
ladies of Portsmouth with lovely bouquets,
[Portsmouth Enterprise.
’Twas ever thus. It is said that St.
Peter relegates, at the gate of heaven,
Protestants to Protestants, Catholics
to Catholics, etc.; but the gallant
soldiers are ordered “to go among the
ladies.”
Trustful.— The Richmond Dispatch
hopes this country will not long suffer
under the reproach of having no ex-
President living. The old man of the
Dispatch knew one time when there
were four ex-Presidents living— John
Adams, Thos. Jefferson, Jas. Madison
and Jas. Monroe.
True to Nature.— ln his recent novel,
Mr. J. W. DeForrest thus sketches
Smyler Colfax : “He is an incarna
tion of prunes, prisms and propriety.
He neither smokes nor drinks, nor
stays away from church, nor indulges
in any other vice which societies have
been formed to put down. He banks on
his decency and orthodoxy. There is
just one method of moving him—give
him a check.” The people have given
him a decided check.
Married. —We read with something
of a shock that Charlotte Bronte’s
husband, the Rev. Arthur Bell
Nichols, has a second wife. But then
we are consoled with the reflection
that had Charlotte outlived Arthur,
she might have had a second husband.
