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. SPECIAL NOTICES.
