    LEV HILL.
A Representative of The Cci *tl
tutton Interviews Him.
Mr. Hill States All About that Al
leged Radical Letter.
He Defines Ills Position and Ex
plains Ills Address.
The following report of CoL John R.
Hart’s interview with Mr. Hill, will be
found to be very interesting. Colouel
Hart is an old personal and political
friend of Mr. Hill, and a truthful ac
curate, and brilliant writer:
Reporter—ls you ever wrote any let
ter to a Republican, have you a copy
of it? If not, what did the letter say ?
Mr. Hill—l never, in my life, wrote
a letter to a Republican, expressing a
political sentiment, that I can recall,
save only throe numbers of the ‘Notes
on The Situation,” addressed to iono
ral Grant, in 18C7, and the letters to
the Tribune and Times of New York,
in 1868. Some time ago, I believe in
October or November, I received a po
lite letter from some gentlemen, dated
at Atlanta, asking my opinions, for
publication. I understood the gentle
men io be Republicans. I simply re-1
plird: “Your letter is received. I en
tertain no political opinions, which I
desire, at this time, to give the public,
and even prefer that my name should
have no public or political mention.”—
This was the whole letter—every word,
I believe. It seems, one of the writers
(Mr. Holden) had left Atlanta, before
the reply arrived, and he wrote me
frem Augusta, reminding me that I
had not answered. I politely notified
him I had given the above answer, and
again declined to give any other, or to
express, even to him, an old whig
friend in days past, a single political
opiuion. Retained no copies.
Reporter—Did you, in consultation
with any of the gentlemen, express
any political opinion?
Mr. Hill -No; have no recollection
that I had spoken to either gentlemeu
iu two years. Let me tell you again:
I have never, iu all my life, written a
private letter, or had a private conver
sation, seekiug or looking to any earth
ly office f »r myself, or leaning to Rad
icalism. Hope your question is an
swered.
Reporter—Fully; and as I believed
nil the time. But do you know why
McGregor should report such charges,
nud the Constitutionalist, The Consti
tution should give them such charac
ter ?
Mr. Hill—No; do not know McGre
gor. Never saw him that I remember.
Have not seen his affidavits. Hear
they are ridiculous. The Constitution
alist, is a little spiteful because I send
all my letters to the Chronicle & Sen
tinel. Air. Randall once said to me I
had built up the Chronicle and Sen
tinel; to divide my contributions. I
thought I would, but uot deeming it a
great matter, neglected to do so. It
has been a rule of my life never to
bring editors under obligations to me.
Their kindness has been voluntary,
and, in the main, I am indebted to
them lor manly treatment It is sin
gular how even the best of them con
strue portions of my address; still I
will not complain, for I know I am
right and consistent, and they will one
day admit it
Reporter—You attended and made
a speech at a dinner given by Govern
or Bullock to Mr. Delano ?
Mr. Hill—l did. I had been with
Mr. Delano several days, and found
him to be a real first-class gentleman,
incapable of getting up and swearing
to foul charges against decent men
upon no better evidence than rumors
to suit. The dinner was given to him
at the house where I was. All parties
were invited, and had agreed to at
tend. All around we were real Demo
crats. We all simply honored by our
presence an honorable man. I did
respond to a toast and sentiment given
by this man to Georgia—a State iu
the Uuion, (more significant than sim
pletons imagine) and I did conclude
with the sentiment “The United States
Courts,” which I now expect to admin
ister equal justice to the people of
Georgia in the Union. My presence
was gentlemanly, my speech was sin
cere, aud my purpose and expectations
patriotic.
Roporter—You are reported as say
ing in that speech, you “did not go to
be a Democrat,” or words to this ef
fect ?
Mr. Hill—Yes, I said so. I never
was a Democrat per se. I always said
so. I never expect to say otherwise.—
Since the war insults and oppressions
of the Republicans have driven me to
act with the Democratic party, and I
shall act with it while those insults aud
oppressions continue. The charge
that I am capable of acting with a
fiarty that disfranchises me and en
rauchiaes my slave to govern me, is so
ridiculous, that none but fools will be
lieve it, and none but Jcuaves will say
it. The real truth is, lam no partisan,
and have but little respect for any man
who is. The South has paid dearly
enough for this blind party worship.
It is time for the South to subordinate
party to her interest, aud not longer
subordinate interest to party. This
is now her best platform; and there
fore it is mine.
Reporter— How do you think your
address is regarded, us judged by your
private correspondence ?
Mr. Hill—Moat admirably. I could
detain you all day reading the warm
est commendations from the best men
in the State; some of whom have -erv
ed and houored her in better days.—
Huk of those who approve, it is true,
are old Whigs, yet there are many
Democrats in the number. No lawyer
has denied the legal proposition.
Reporter-^What in the difference
between your proposition, and that of
fJor. Brown, in 1067 ?
Mr. Hill—Just the as that be
tween two sons, one of whom helps
assassins to slay his father, and the
ether, after exposing life and ail to
prevent the slaughter, and fails, simply
and sadly recognizes the fact that his
father is dead, and decently buries
him, aud honestly goes to work for the
family. Is there no difference between
parricide and filial love ?
Reporter—Looking to political re- ’
hults, what was the difference between
accepting the situation io 1867, aud
abiding it now ?
Mr. Hill—ls we had excepted, in 18-
67, the amendments to the Constitu
tion and other results of reconstruc
tion they would have became laws by
our consent, and the odium would have
beeu ours. By refusing to consent, wo
copelled their authors to make these
laws by force and usurpation, and the
odium is on them.
Reporter —But all laws, you say,
must be obeyed. What, then, is the
practical difference between a law made
by couseut aud a law made by usur
pation ?
Mr. Hill—Ah 1 right there, my friend,
y >u have struck the very kernel of my
address. This difference everybody
will see in time, but I prefer to post
pone that discussion for the present.
I will, therefore, make two remarks to
give your thoughts a direction, aud
then ask you to excuse me. The obli
gation of obedience to a law of consent,
is a duty embracing the moral sense,
the obligation of obedience to a law of
usurpation, is a duty measured by ne
cessity. The latter, while it lasts, may
be stronger than the former, as physic
al power may be stronger than the hu
man will or the moral sense.
The last remark is this If you will
read the address, you will find that in
determining the meaning and extent of
power conferred on the general gov
ernmeuts by the 14th and 15 th amend
ments —I only state the construction as
decided or held by them, in Congress
and on the Bench —who made and ad
vocated these amendments.
Iu time, in style, aud iu logic, the
address was right, and will be main
tained.
In conclusion ; the reporter states
that he saw aud read the original let
ter written by Air. Hill to Mr. Holden.
And Air. Hill’s rememberance of it is
correct. It contains nothing more
nor less than Air. Hill states iu his an
swer.

the credentials of S. A. Corker, Representa

however ; and it is feared the case will be re

CARTERBVILLE. GA., JAN. 27th. 1871.
RECONSTRUCTION.
It is pat nful to see the office of the
Chief Magistracy of this great country,
prostituted to the viiest and most in
jurious purposes, as is eviuced by its
present incumbent For some time
past, it has beeu positively alleged that
Grant would 8* nd down to Congress a
message recommendingreconstruction;
warmly urging his radical followers
still to wage their Congressional war
upon the Southern States, by exclud
ing their chosen Representatives from
their seats. The election in Georgia,
in spite of the infamous election law,
emanating from the unscrupulous brain
and pen of Judge AlcCay, but falsely
attributed to Akerman, has so over
whelmingly proven fatal to the agita
tors in and out of Congress, that Gen.
Grant has not as yet had the hardi
hood to carry out his contemplated
raid on Southern liberties. The act
would have been too ridiculous and in
digestible, even for his hardy political
camp followers at Washington, and
now holding in reserve any such at
tack upon the rights of our people, he
has meanly sent in a sort of summary of
real or supposed aggressions upon the
persons and pi’ivileges of divers ne
groes, in various portions of this sec
tion, running back for several years,
many of which have hitherto beeu re
ported; and thus seeks to excite the
wrath of his obsequious tools against
the whole people of the South, and
call for what they are pleased to term
“appropriate legislation.” No man iu
his senses, can but see through this
flimsy veil. It is all pretence, and pre
tence of the shallowest order. He
knows, and thev know that it is all the
veriest sham, gotten up for the most
unworthy party political purposes. —
The election in Georgia, according to
the published testimony of Bullock,
himself, was fair, as fair as could be
made or had, with all the advantages
on the Radical side, under this cor
rupt election Bill; und the people of
the State have overwhelmingly defeat
ed all these well-devised plans, by such
a victory as has astonished the whole
radical camp, and filled it with dismay.
Now the effort is, since they have been
put to rout, “horse-foot and dragoons’
in Georgia and elsewhere, to raise the
cry of persecution and maltreatment
to the blacks, on the part of the South
ern people, and for this cause, political,
ly to punish the States South, for the
supposed misdemeanors of private in
dividuals. Was ever such folly exhib
ited, or such tyranny sought to be ex
erted ? If the law has been complied
with, and it has; if the Constitutional
enactments, made by themselves, have
been received, and they have; if no op
position to the free course of Federal
discipline, military aud civil, has been
made, and there is none: if the banner
of the republic waves unmolested over
all the Southern land, and it does;
if our people, one and all, are submis
sive to the powers that be iu every par
ticular, aud they are; if in short, all
tiiat a radical regime has abked or
insisted upon, at the hands of our peo
ple, has been fully granted, up to the
very last iota, whether distasteful or
not, and it has; what else, let us ask,
other than the fell spirit of insatiable
hate aud political proscription for par
ty purposes and personal aims, couM
prompt such unworthy aud such wrong
ful thoughts or ends? When Gen.
Grant went into the political campaign
which resulted in bis elevation to the
Presidency, the war cry of bis fol
lowers, given out by himself was “let
us have peace,” and with this dove-like
declaration resting upon his lips, he
solemnly swore to be the impartial ru
ler of the whole people of the land.--
But from the day of his installation to
this hour, his whole course has been
only calculated to fan the flames of
dissension in our midst, and so far
from endeavoring to calm the heart
and surface of society, his efforts, as
now, have been directed to pile up the
waves of political commotion, and to
oppress a people who were already
ruined by a most destructive war. We
had hoped better things, indeed we
had a right to expect it. No man, per
haps, saving and excepting Andrew
Johnson, ever had a more open path
for eminently true renown and posi
tive, good to the people, than he, and
no one has more signally failed to ful
fil what might have been a glorious
achievmeut. Locked up, however, in
the pursuit of his own personal emol
uments, private and political, cherish
ing, unworthily, a bitter hatred to the
people, who so long and so gallantly
contended, fc ho ug h unsuccessfully,
against him and his legioDs. on the
the battle field, for what they held to
be their most sacred rights; and burn
ing with an intense desire to retain the
succession for himself, and its benefits
for his family and personal friends and
adherents, he now seeks still finfcker!
through Congress, to excite the Nation
against the South, belies hi 9 declara
tions of peace and good will, throws
all the weight of his office and conse
quent patronage in the scale, so as yet
further to oppress the people of the
South, if peradventure it may not
serve in some sort, to turn away the
public attention from the glaring defi
ciencies of his administration, and
shield him against the much dreaded
opposiiion of able men, within the
ranks of the Republican party. We
believe, however, that it will all be in
vain. The Southern Coiigiessmen will
take their seats, and are taking them,
The wolf cry of Radicalism is losing,
and lias already lost Os charm upon
the people of the North and West, and
any legislation which may now be had
upon this subject iu Congress, to suit
the fancies or the interest of Grant and ’
his, will soon be set aside by that of a
tiulv patriotic and Conservative repre
sentation, from all the States, more
“appropriate” to the spirit of the Con
stitution, the spirit of the age, and the
rights of nan. We do not believe that
the present Congress will prove them
selves the suppliant tools of a man,
who Frank Blair says “w ill never be
willing to lay dovvu the reigus of au
thority, all unfit though he be.”

of water in consequence of the burst
ing of the feeding-pipe of the reservoir
at Belleville, and towns in the interior
along the Hudson complain of a lack
of water in wells and cisterns. Many
of the springs and small streams have
dried up, this being the case in parts
of Wpatchester and Rockland counties,
where the springs had not failed for
the previous f< »rty years. The sources
of the Croton supply are of course af
fected by the prolonged drought, and
we have great reason to be thankful
for the reserve in someone hundred

Park.
Ail Anecdote of the lute Admiral
Farragut.
A prominent gentleman o f New
York, who was familiar with the late
Admiral Furiagut, and who I think
was with him in his last moments, has
told me the following characteristic
story of the great sailor: A few hours
before Farragut died he called his wife
to his side, and said he would like to
see a clergyman. Before Mrs. Farra
! gut had time to send for one, an Irish
servant girl who was in the room, and
who heard the Admiral’s request, start
ed out and secured the the attendance
; of a Roman Catholic priest who hap
pened to be in the neighborhood.—
The Admiral w'as drawing near the
close of his journey, and the priest en
tered without being recoguized by him.
The good father was soon engaged in
preforming the services of the Catho
lic Church peculiar to the occasion at
the bedside of the dying man. All of
a sudden Farragut opened his eyes
and seemed to comprehend not only
what was going on but the character
of the clergyman. Waving his hand
toward the priest, he said in a clear,
distinct voice, “Go away, sir; you are
not my pilot /" whereupon the priest
wi lidrew, and the Admiral died as he
had lived, a believer in the Protestant
faith
