-■ * 8 THE SUNNY SOUTH ATLANTA, ■r J SATURDAY HORNING, JANUARY 10, 1891. ASIOTCH OF iiBOM BQBB The Memorable Duel and the Trial for Conspiracy. TKADITIONS IN FRANKFORT, KY. Journeys and Alleged Treason; Trial and Acquittal; Ostracism, Exile and Death. The personal and political character of Aaron Barr is not a model for the yonth of this country to imitate, bnt It retains that charm of ro mance which follows the gifted and unfor tunate. The human instlnet o f resent ment extinguished a career whieh, under other di on instances, might hare formed a history of our conn try different from that which Is already aaboh burh. Current cent writers seldom refer to this man, yet he was such a conspicuous actor in early American politics that the very acts and suspicions whioh destroyed him will res cue his name from oblivion. The writer resided in Frankfort, Ky., 'on the spot where the details of his so. called conspiracy were planned, and still remembers the conversations of old dti- sens, now dead, who witnessed his tri umphant acquittal in thi t town. Burr was arraigned on the charge of conspire a against the uovernment by the die I ' ' Dgnlshed Federalist attorney Jo Hamit ton Daviess and gallantly defended by Henry Clay. It was known that Ur, Clay exacted from him an explicit disa vowal of any treasonable intentions, whioh was promptly giveD. Burr’s in trepid and dignified bearing in court and his elegant manners ontsiae won the ad miration of nine-teotts of the citizens ot Frankfort. He conducted himself with imperturbable coolness throughout his trial and the resnlt was celebrated by a brilliant ball, followed by one In honor of the defeated attorney who called him be fore the bar ot Justice. Criminal or m arty r—from bis early days as a gallant Revolutionary officer 17 years of age until his death In the eighties—his PARADE OF BURR S FORCES. life was filled with adventure and in trigue. The transition from wealth and fame to penury and disgrace has enabled biographers to write entertainingly on this su'j-ct. Nothing new ia offered students of biography in a detached sketch of Aaron Butr. The writer re views for the moment the spectacle of an ex Vice President who, through the vi- cissitcdt s of error and disappointment to which all men of talent and ambition are snbj-ct, became an exiled gentleman in rags—an intellect nal knignt errant—and finally a forgotten octogenarian, sev ered from the human race. But wbat ever his faults, one feature of his lire reaches all beaMs— his absorbing love for his daughter, the beautiful and talented Theodosia, she who sufiered long and si lently at every climax of his fate. uad «van la his duetlalug days—at a tints when he wae accustomed tossy of himself: "I am no longer connected with mankind”—be wee sought after for legal advice as u matter of safety to u doubtful case. He was credited with rescuing many important causes from premature burial In the courts of New York 8tate. Burr began bis career as a public man In the New York Legislutnre, and in 1791 defeated G neral Schuyler, father in law of Genera) Hamilton, for s seat in the United S ates Senate. In 1799 Jefferson and Burr rec<ived an equal Electoral vote for President, and Vice President, defeating the candidates of the Federal- lata of wh'ch party General Hamilton was the acknowl edged lender. This contingency threw elec tion for the se President and Vice President In the House of Represent House or Represent stives. At this time the victorious candi date receiving the highest number of votes became Presi dent. Jefferson was Ih6 fortunate one, alex’r Hamilton, and the two became President and Vies-President respect ively. Burr Vice-President of the United States. Now, in the zsnith of his popularity, Burr might have succeeded Jefferson to the Presidency wsro he not thwarted in any further ambition of the kind by the duel with Hamilton at Weehawken, N. J. Hamilton’s opposition to Burr dates from the time that the latter defeated Gen. Sohnyler for the United States Senate. Apparently the two were always cordial friends. They dined together and affiliated at all social festivities. Each admired the other for his own pe culiar talents. But notwithstanding the appearance of friendliness Hamilton be gan and continued to pursue Burr from this time. Sometimes openly, often by innuendoes, he checked and thwarted Barr’s plans for honorable promotion. In whatever direction he aspired or wbat ever advancement sought him, he traced to Gen. Hamilton the marks of an invet erate animosity. Previous to his election as Vice-President Coi. Burr was a can didate for an appointment In the army, for Minister to Prance, for Governor of New York, and for the Presidency of the United States. He was frustrated in all these aspirations by the bitter repug nance of Washington’s brilliant Secre tary of the Treasury. Gen Hamilton ex erted and strained his whole vocabulary of declamat ion to denounce his politioal enemy. He impeached both his private and public Integrity. He characterized him at a Cseaar of the wont type, laugh ing at liberty, and anxious to subvert the Constitution for his own aggrandize ment. He represented him as “a dan gerous and unprincipled man—aa true a Catallne us ever met in midnight con clave.” Through u long period of time he continued thus to oppose or forbid every progress in Burr’s career, until at length Col. Barr determined to check for a time or to sltence forever the vitupera tlon to whioh he became exposed. Gen. Hamilton wrote a letter to a friend say ing that Burr was a dangerous man and ought not to be intrusted with the reins of Government. This friend in tarn wrote to another, concluding his letter with this passage: “I could detail to you a more despic able opinion which Gen. Hamilton has expressed of Coi. Burr.” Burr seized upon this as a pretext and demanded a prompt denial or acknowl edgment of any assertion which would warrant such an expression, it was re fused. Then followed the usual parley iDg in such events. The duel was finally arranged and the participants met at Weehawken, N. J , at 7 o'clock a. in. At the cuBtomar} command the principals firtd, and Hamilton, with a convulsive movement on tiptoes, fell on his face mortally wounded, expiring within forty-eight hours. Burr escaped to a temporary retreat and awaited the re suit cn the public mind. The Duel Fatal to Both Combatants. Barr’s Ancestry and Antecedents. Burr was the grandson of the great theologian, Jonathan Edwards, the first President of Princeton College. The bay was reading Latin and Greek at the age of 11, but hie mutinous spirit chafed un der the guardianship of an uncle and he parly eluded bun $9 join Arnold in that difficult march on Quebec. Thence he was Intrusted with a secret mission to Gen. Montgomery at Montreal, which was accomplished through snob peril and privation t iat he was rewarded by on appointment as Montgomery’s aid-de- camp. In this capacity he first attracted the attention of his comrades by a peril on* act of gallantry, bearing the body of his fallen General from tbe rear wnile in dangerous proximity to the enemy, until foroed by his own soldiers to leave it and escape with his own life. Next be be came Washington’s aid de camp, bnt at his own request was transferred to the staff of Gen. Putnam. In 1777, he re oeived an appointment as Lieutenant- Colonel, the youngest man who ever held that rank In the Revolutionary war. He was Afterword aes related with Washing ton at Valley Fat g 1 and was held in hign esteem by his cuiaf. John Adams testi fied of him that “he came out of the war with the character of a knight, without fear, and an able officer.” Ill health forced him to resign his commission. Burr was beiow medium height, but bis stature seemed to grow on all great occasions. In saddle or on foot he was erect and commanding. In person he was quiet and impressive, his voice clear and positive, and his conversation at all timeB dignified and composed. His dark, piercing eye and general expression o' countenance irradiated a meaning of authority over men, while with womt n his entire personality was captivating. As a lawyer Burr was early aud always eminent. Ha began practice at the age of26j ears, and divided with tien. Ham ilton the honors aud emoluments of the New York bar. Coming out of the war wth such.eclat, he bounded into business at once. H.s talents in tbiB profession are variously (escribed. Regarded by some as a mere acute and skillful practi tioner, others consiuertd him the ablest lawyer then in the country, Gan. Hamil ton alone excepted. In lig tting with and employing technicalities bis powers W=je not- (xcelied. Tne forms of law were weapons whicn he used with skill and daring. He pursued tbe opposite side with notices, motions, applications ani appeals without exhaustion to him self orcom'crt or repose to his adverssry. His best definition o ' law was, he said, “Whatever is badly asserted cr plausibly maintained’’—donotless a sarcasm in tended for lesser lights than himself. His style of speaking was not studious ly florid, but terse, clcqnent and con ylncing. In contrast witn Hamilton, t critic of that day asserted that Burr could neutralize in twenty minntes the effort of the former s two hours’ oration. At the same time it should be remem be red that Lamilton was always elo quent and sometimes rapturous. It is related that when these two co-operated in a case Burr would often manage to speak first, and, appropriating his col league s best points, exhaust the argu ment In a few condensed and elegant phrases, only leaving Hamilton the hon or of dressing it in his own colors of rhe torlcal ornamentation. He was foil of surprires himself, bet alert and on guard against any kind cf discomposure, one instance of this may suffice. In the midst of an interesting care, where the opposing '■outset were arguing, a note was bonded to him. He reac it and care lessly threw it aside. When a conven ient pause was reached be asked in his calmest tones: “What tfleet would the death of my client have on this snitT” The lawyer stated and asked his reason iOr asking. “He is dead,” repiltid Burr. “Will thesnitabate. His Methods as a lawyer. Always at ease, he rather courted than shunned the dangers of legal injury. He proved this when his li e or liberty was in danger on his first arraignment at Frankfort, Ky. His conduct there was dramatic and admirable. But he partic marly evinced much courage, skill and talect in defying the overwLemlnp pros ecution of tie Government when ar raigned for treason at R ciimond, Va, where the official powers and personal council of President Jefferson were arrayed against him. His mind was always active and he instantly compre hended the movements of his adversary s plans at every stage and progress of a After the period of his trip abroad, When the news of the tragedy reached New York indignation among the people became irrepressible. The Vice Preai- dent’s most powerful friends failed to subdue the clamor, and hie name was from that time and forever execrated. Emerging from hts biding place ne was informed that a warrant was issued for his arrest, and this determined him to leave the ceuntry for a short time. He found a hospitable home on a small isl and near the Atlantic coast, where, as Indicated by his letters, he was gracious ly received. After a short sojourn he re solved to reappear in Washington and perform his duties as Vice-President in Congress, Although indicted for mur- VIEW ON BI.ENNERHASSKTT S ISLAND. der in two States, he resumed his duties ia tbe Senate without fear, and during that winter presided over the impeach ment trial of JudgsChace. A local news paper of the day stated that “he conduct ed this trial with the dignity and impar tiality of an augel bnt with the rigor of a devil.” He soon after took his leave of the Senate, and his valedictory remarks were said to be the most dignified, su blime and impressive ever uttered on sucU an occasion. At the conclusion the whole Senate was in tears, and after ap- Dropriate resolution of thanks from that bidy, he vanished from the political field forever. Hereafter Burr’s movements were strange and mysterious. He traveled px- tenslvely throughout the West and South west on tours of observation and lnspec - tion,formed acquaintances and command ed respect and attention from men of in fluence in Kentncky, Tennessee, Ohio and Mississippi. He also vieited New Orleans, where it was supposed that he made some secret compact regarding his futnre movements with G an. Wilkinson, the commander of the American forces. Returning to Kentucky, It became known that he was preparing an expedition to move down the Ohio and the Mississippi Rivers with intentions hostile to this country or to the bpanish power, then predominant In the Southwest. It was abont then that he was arrested at Frank fort, Ky. After his acquittal he contin ued his preparations on the Ohio River, th a few boats and armed men and wit floated down toward New Orleans, which was supposed to be the chosen field of his future actions. He was again arrest id while paaalng a point by the State of Mississippi and escaped. Proceeding alone and in disguise he wss retaken In Alabama and thence escorted to Rich mond, Va., to answer new charges brought against him. After an able de fense of himself and a vigorous prosecu tion by tbe Government he wss honora bly scquitti d. After his second acquittal Burr became more than ever a sni j-et of suspicion, and disgrace. His friends forsook him, h s enemies continued to denounce him. He resolved, therefore, to leave the coun try indefinitely. He embarked for Eng land, and, while treated with superficial respect at first, was eventually ordered away by the Ministers in power. In Ger many he was received with distinction by the best classes, particularly thoee of literary tastes. He next visited France and attempted, without results, to pro- acre an audience with Napoleon with a view of interesting him In his Mexican enterprise. He secured the friendship of come of the noDtlity, bat soon fell under the suspicion 1 eye of our Prenoh Minis ter, who caused him to be ignored by oil the French- American and v i siting Ameri can residents in Paris. One representa tive denied him tbe courtesies due an American citizen and connived with the French authorities to retain him as a prisoner of state. He applied for pass ports to leave France and wss refused. Meanwhile his financial condition be cause d:stressing. Af.er exhausting his own resources he was forced to accept re, i f from new acquaintances He made himself, however, an object of attraction and of admiration in select social clrctes despite his empty pockets and scanty After a long and lug detention hs was to loa vo France, and through the generosity of a ----- kssage to Ameri- foroign Mend secured passage ca.

If that personal devil was hen going to and fro in the earth Sam would bav have his fan oat of him while fighting him. He can’t help it. It is amusing to hear him relate hts own dlooom fortunes. He soys that once he woe pleaching in a Western town and had got wrought np in hie feelings and was going along tender and pathetic in hie appeal to sinners, when an old man hie appeal to sinners, when an old maw got np and stretched forth his hand and ■aid: “Brother Jonee, Brother Jones, stop a mlnate, Just a mlnuto. I Just want to ■hont a little and sav, bless God, I am happy on the way. Yee, I am happy on the way. I lived on sin for fifty odd years, bnt now 1 am happy on the yean, hi way, yes, nappy on the way.” And be sat down shaking and sobbing with Sam paused for the a flee ting scene to lend its influence to hie preaching and then said to the old man: Well, my brother, don’t yon feel now Ukeyoa hod lost that fifty odd yean of yoar life that yoa spent in sinT” The old man rose up again and said, “Well, no, Bro. Jones, not exactly. I can’t say that I wasn’t as happy as 11 now, bnt 1 did have a power of inn.” On another occasion, while a revival was going on, Sam observed an old man in tbe altar who seemed to be mnch af fected, and going to him, he asked if he feit that his sins Were all forgiven. The old man wiped his eyes with a red ban dana and murmured, “Not at aii,|BrotLer Jones, not at all, but I think a majority of them.” it takes a variety of preachers to reach the multitude of people. They were as different in old scripture time as they are now. Some wept and persuaded and some threatened. A century or so ago Whitfield and Wesley preached love and pity, while Jonathan Edwards scared the sinners so bad they clung to the braces of the church for fear of falling to hell. A tear and a kiss is enough for one child, bnt it takes the rod to reform another. So let the preachers work out their own way If it doesn’t salt me, may be it will suit some body else. It is hard to find one who is not a bet ter man than I am, better in heart and nearer to Gad, ana I am not fit to pick at them. There is a sign over the door and it says “Touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm.” Bill Arp. DON’T STOP MY PAPER. Don't stop my paper, printer, Don't strike my name oil', yet.
