M A HOSE AND BOC HBOS ISM.
We have not, heretofore, sympathised
with Senator Mahone to any considerable
extent. We were fearful he was giving:
■ fldue prominence to the “negro ques
tion.” Our position upon this color
question is simply this: Let the negro
alone; let him, by industry, obedience to
law and a quiet, orderly life solve his
own problem. Let us have no more spe
cial legislation for him or any other class
of citizens. Don’t make a pet or ward
of him or any other race or color; but,
see to it, that every right he is entitled to
under the federal constitution is secured
to him without opposition or question;
secure to him a “free ballot and fair
c *unt;” secure to him an equal share in
the public school fund. Let his person,
life, property and proceeds of his labor
he as sacredly guarded and protected by
our laws and our courts as those of all
other citizens; do this and then let him
alone in the enjoyment of his rights of
citizenship. Let infamous demagogues
of all political parties, let bribe givers,
intimidators, bulldozers, tricksters and
the scoundrels who hestitate at no lie or
fraud to deceive him and rob him of his
rights, keep their hands off.
This is our position upon the “negro
question.” Notwithstanding our want of
free sympathy, heretofore, with Gen.
Mahone we have just read his address to
the readjusters of Virginia and must say
it impresses us as a manly, honest and
truthful, though as It should have been,
a bitterly indignant protest against the
cowardly infamies which characterized
tiie recent bourbon campaign in Vir
ginia, by which Mahone is ternporarely
defeated and by which bourbonism is
once more temporarily in possession of
t lie old ‘Mother of states and of statesmen.’
The organized democratic press of Geor
gia and of the south have carefully ab
stained from publishing this address, but
are diligent in an effort to misrepresent
its facts and pervert its patriotic purpose.
The violence of the democratic press
and of democratic leaders is responsible
for much of the excitement and blood
shed which cropped out in the recent
Virginia campaign. Mahone was not
sent to the senate by the democratic par
ty cf Virginia. He went there in spite
of democratic hate and proscription, and
scarcely was he seated before a most vio
lent and unrighteous attack was made
upon him because he did not propose in
the senate to give its secretaryship, its
clerkship, its doorkeepership and all the
crumbs of that body to the clacquers
of a party that had pursued him and his
friends with the malignance of demons.
While we say nothing of the dead, ex
cept to praise them, yet, our own great
and eloquent Hill was led into this mis
take of criticising and denouncing Ma
hone most severely as if Mahone was un
der any moral or patriotic obligation to
serve or even respect the hungry crew
that was shouting and howling around
bins saying, “Sir, you know that by this
craft we have our spoils, and not only
this, our craft is in danger to be set at
naaght; but, also, that the great tempi*
of modern democracy would be despised
and its magnificence destroyed if you are
not squelched.” This attack of Mr. Hill
and others we think was fatal to the
democratic party in its effect. Alexan
der H. Stephens, a few mornings after
the delivery of this celebrated speech,
wrote the following words in regard to
it:
“This attack on Mahone waa unwise, because
it, was unjust and unfounded in fact.”
Mahone, under all this lire in his front
and in his rear, may have committed
mistakes. Who would not have some
times blundered under this persistent and
unjust Are, both from fusileers and from
artillerymen. But, were the principles
he had inscribled on his banners just and
patriotic? The democratic party of Vir
ginia certainly thought so, for, last sum
mer, In convention assembled in the city
of Lynchburg, the party inserted in its
platform every principle for which Ma
hone had struggled and upon which he
had triumphed. They appropriated to
themselves the Mahone platform, but
declared war to the death against the
man. Like the true and genuine bour
bon, in all states and under all circum
stances, they were willing to take any
platform, profess any thing and every
thing, tariff' or free-trade, free ballott or
restricted billot, free-schools or no
schools, nationalism or sectionalism, be
funders or readjusters, any thing to win
the prize of their high calling, “official
spoils.” But, the man, Mahone, and his
friends stood between them and said,
“spoils,” therefore, Mahone had to die,
politically, and many of his friends had to
die in blood.
After exhausting all the peaceable
means of political villiany, such as bribes,
bogus tickets, the expenditure of a large
corruption fund, minor acts of intimida
tion and seeing that Mahone was going
to win in spite of their Herculean efforts
to defeat him, they resolved to play the
“trump card” of post-bellum democracy.
That card is the “color-line,” enforced
and indellibly stamped upon the public
mind by the shot-gun. The white voters
must he prejudiced and brought into
t irrible antagonism to Mahone; nothing
so effectual in this direction as the “race
issue.” The leaders must make the im
pression upon the minds of white citizens
that the negroes are going to capture
Virginia; (just here we would like to ex
hibit some delectable and odoriferous
circulars which were secretly sent over
this congressional district during the last
three congressional campaigns); that
Mahone is exciting the blacks to insur
rection and insubordination. If this im
pression can he made it will all he right
witlj the white voters, Then, in addi
tion to this the negroes must be terror
ized, kept from the polls through fear ol
their lives; do this and the leaders of
the narrow, illiberal and proscriptive
bourbon democracy will once more come
to the front. But, all this can only be
accomplished by an actual conflict of the
two races, “resounding arms” must he
carried to the ears of all Virginians. But,
as the sequel shows, all the “resounding
arms” was on the white man’s side, all
the guns and fighting was on the white
man’s side, and all the flowing blood wag
on tne other side.
After reading Mahone’s address, sus
tained as it is by many witnesses and sus
tained in its truthfulness by the facts
them solved, wo are persuaded that the
slaughter of the negroes at Danville,
Virginia, a few days before the late elec
tion in that state, was the most deliberate,
premeditated, cruel and cowardly
slaughter of innocent, helpness and un
armed negroes that was ever inaugurated
and executed for villiatieous partizan
ends and purposes.
But the design was successful. It
wiped out Mahone; it wiped out the
negro; it 'wiped out the readjuster, and,
alas! it wiped out much of the glory and
honor of oi l Virginia. More than that,
in our judgment, it wiped out the last
surviving chance of democratic success
in the next presidential election. It
makes a solid South vs. a solid North.
God help us! God deliver us from bour
bon madmen and southern fools.
TUB ROME “COURIER” THE TARIFF ,
AND MR. CLEMENTS.
The Rome organ of the bourbon de
mocracy, tries, in a lame way, to excuse
Mr. Clements in voting for S. J. Randall
for speaker, because “Senator Brown’s
mining interests need protection,” and
Joseph makes Judson toe the mark and
vote under his “control.” The Free
Press has not opposed Randall and de
nounced that gentleman as “the destroy
er of the democratic party,” as the man
who packed the ways and means com
mittee,” tor he was able to know a good
man when he saw him; and, therefore,
placed Hon. W. H. Felton upon the first
committee in congress, to save the inter
ests of the country. For years the Rome
Courier has denounced Randall; hag
spouted free-trade; has villified Felton
because lie was a tariff man, and advo
cated Mr. Clements as a free-trade dis
ciple; hut now, at the bidding of Senator
Brown, whose “mining interests need
protection,” and who directed and con
trolled the bourbon democracy of the
seventh district in electing a man who
was entirely in his “control.” The
Rome Courier eats tariff crow by the
wholesale, and advocates # Randall for
speaker, “to save the democratic party.”
It looks amazingly like Senator Brown’s
“control” extended to the organ of Mr.
Clements as well as to that helpless rep
resentative himself. A congressman who
votes under the “control” of another is
not worth a postage stamp to his con
stituents, and we feel humiliated to know
that we are floating around, without rud
der or compass, at the mercy of Senator
Brown’s pecuniary interest?.
When we had a representative who
had the sense to understand the tariff
question, and the manhood to vote his
convictions, the Rome Courier reviled
and maligned him dailj r . He was held
up to the country as a traitor to the busi
ness interests of the seventh district, al
though he was emphatically the agent by
which quinine was made free, and by
whose brave resistance of the run-mad
bourbonism of the forty-six congress,
the furnaces and rollingmills of the
south were saved from overthrow and
bankruptcy; yet, the Rome Courier nev
er let up on its hate and malignity to Dr.
Felton for an hour.
Now that Senator Brown tells Simon
to “wig-wag,” the horse becomes of an
other color, and when Mr. Clements pops
up his thumbs, (because he minds his
“boss,”) the Rome Courier sucks all the
free-trade oft its own digits, and hoists its
own thumbs for Randall and the tariff.
Hurrah for Sam Randall!
It seems that “Senator Brown’s min
ing interests” had a remarkable influence
on our esteemed contemporary, the At
lanta Constitution, also, as it wheeled
around and huzzahed for Randall, about
the time that Joseph gave the nod to Mr.
Clements and the Rome Courier. It is a
sad fact that the pecuniary interests of
one man has well-nigh absorbed the de
mocracy of Georgia (so-called,) and,
therefore, we cling to honest politics and
independentism, and repudiate the “con
trol” of Senator Brown’s “mining inter
ests.”
A -V INDEPENDENT FRESH.
Perlmps, there is no state in the Union
where a free press is more needed than
in Georgia, to combat the arrogance and
intolerance of organized partisanism.
Anew paper has just been started at
Carrollton by our old friend, Edwin R.
Sharpe. We see the following paragraph
quoted by the Macon Telegraph from the
first issue of the new paper, the Free
Press, which pleases us very much :
“Politically it is unnecessary for us to state to
the people of Carroll county, where we hare
published a democratic paper for eleven years,
that in politics this paper will be democratic.
We %hall not hesitate, however, to condemn
whatever we may think wrong in the democrat
ic party, for the Free Press, under our manage
ment, can never become a ‘mere party organ,
which blew* hot or cold as the party tribunal
commands. Such a paper is like auy other
manacled slave and of no consequence what
ever.' ”
As we have repeatedly stated in these
columns, and after thirty years of politi
cal journalism, we are convinced that no
man, no Southerner especially, can be a
true democrat unless he is an indepen
dent one. The slavery of mere partisan
ism is nothing less than an American
citizen to be a “manacled slave.” To he
politically “manacled” is to forfeit all
manhood and all claims to free citizen
ship. Politically “manacled,” is to be
no better than a political serf.
We like the democracy of the Carroll
ton Free Press if it will only stand up to
true democratic principles in govern
ment and not swerve in obedience to the
behests of organized partisanism that ex
ists only for purposes of “public plun
der.” Georgia and her people’s inter
ests first and all the time, and the Union
only as her constitution is the bond of
civil liberty.
OLD TIME CUSTOMS.
If there be anything we like it is the
old time corn shucking, log rolling and
harvesting, whereat the neighbors meet
together and help one another and have
a good social time. And, then, in
connection with these b to have the
quiltings and sewings, and when all the
w ork was over to join in a jovial dance.
Belianged if we don’t like those old
times when we were young fortj r years
ago. hhe people were better folks then.
They had better and purer whisky. The
women did not hesitate to take a toddy,
and seldom did anybody get drunk as
they do now on “red eye.” There was
neither license on the article nor prohi
bition fanatics in Georgia forty years
ago. There were no suicides then. A wo
man’s respectability and standing stood
upon her chastity. Divorces were un
heard of and social scandals were few r if
any.
Well,, we had our corn shuckings, log
rollings, harvesting and gatherings. Af
ter the work was all over we all danced
all night and went'home with the girls in
the morning. Those were good old times,
the hapyy days of old Georgians forty
and fifty years ago. We had fun, good
whisky and the best and purest women
the world ever knew. There were no
licenses for anything except to get mar
ried, and that was only to preserve
the purity of our people.
These thoughts are suggested by our
attendance upon the corn shucking of Mr.
John P. Stegall last week. Our friend
is one of the best citizens of this or any
other county. He had a big corn
pile and he invited his neighbors in to
husk it for him. He gave them a splen
did old time supper and administered
some “spirtual” comfort that was ac
ceptable to all who were out in the chilly
air.
The occasion was a jolly one for the
writer, as this was the third corn shuck
ing we had attended in nearly forty
years. It was an old time eornshuck
ing, a middle Georgia custom, we shall
always like. We did our duty at the
corn pile, the supper table and spirit
ually. We shall never forget John
Stegail’s corn shucking. May he and
his good lady long live to have more of
such gatherings.
THE FORTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS.
0 ———
The first session of the new congiess
will convene on Monday next. The
most important pending question excit
ing the greatest interest just now is the
election of speaker of the house. The
then principal aspirants for the honor
are Randall ot Pennsylvania, Carlisle of
Kentucky, Cox of New York, with the
indications pointing to’the election of
Randall. We hope the democrats of the
house will have the good sense to see the
importance of Randall’s success in view
of the presidential campaign of next
year. It is very important in that con
nection.
There is a good outlook for the election
of a democratic president next year if
the democrats in congress do not make
such blunders as they have done before
since the war when the prospects for
winning the presidential race were just
as bright as they are new. Mr. Stephens
used to say that democratic congresses
have always blundered just in time, dur
ing the session before the presidential
year, to defeat the party in the election
of their presidential candidate.
We believe that the election of Randall
to the speakership will go far to advance
the success of the democracy in the com
ing race. This result secured and no
blundering policy pursued during the
coming sessioD by democratic congress,
success will ho almost assured. #
ATL ANT A CON VOC ATI ON.
. . •
The Atlanta convocation was in ses
sion at St. Mark’s church, Dalton during
the greater part of week before last, presi
ded over by the Dean, the Rev. W. C.
Williams, D. D., of St. Lukes, Cathdral
Atlanta. There was daily service, and
lectures were delivered on various sub
jects connected with the church and her
teachings.
Bishop Beckwith arrived on Saturday
night and had a reception at the resi
dence of Mr. Wilson. The reception is
said to have been a most enjoyable affair.
The Bishop preached on Sunday, that
day being the time for his regular yearly
visitation to the Parish. The object of the
convocation is the futherance of mission
work with the Deacon, and they are
generally held at points that are com
paratively weak, so that the people,
through the services, and the subjects dis
cussed, may be better instructed as to
what the church is, and what she does
and teaches. The clergy and laity, who
attended convocation, were most hospi
tably entertained during their stay and
they will ever retain a pleasing recollec
tion of their visit to Dalton.
BESTOWING GIFTS.
For 'The Free Press :
In bestowing a gift let it, if possible,
be a part of yourself in thought or deed.
Let it represent, even though feebly,
some performance in which brain, hand
or heart, has done it3 work, as upon such
offering replace a higher estimate than
aught which money can buy.
But the farmer give of his first fruits,
or falhings; the miner, the rare jewel
with the smile of God; the sailor, the
pink-lipped she’l of coral; the poet, his
page of burning thoughts; and the pain
ter, his rare conception of grandeur and
beauty.
Money cannot purchase the soul that
should underlie every present, however
insignificaet in value.
An humble hunch of sage once given
me in gratitude lor a small act of kind
ness rendered a poor family, touched my
heart more tenderly than an ottering a
hundred fold more costly from one in
better circumstances, for it bore such
unequivocal testimony of the heart's
full gratitude as the poor donor witli
trembling lip assured me of the great
satisfaction he enjoyed in being able to
make me some acceptable return for a
service long forgotten.
Gifts are seldom offered with treaeher
ous intent, though we read of the dis
astrous effects to some nations of olden
times. Those who give or send us tokens
of good-will through a spirit of gener
osity or kindness, possess noble souls,
and cherish for us an affection or respect
worthy of a grateful rememherance.
Nothing is more pleasant than to be
the recipient of a book warm with the
fresh thoughts of some author friend who
has plagiarized from our hearts whole
pages of our life experience. We read
and re-read with pleasure, not unmingled
with wonder, that we had not long ago
as (Carlyle would express it) have given
it a tangible vesture for the world’s rag
fair. A Batchelor.
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
The Confederate Ex-President at Home.
Biloxi Correspondent Indianapolis News.]
When he came in response to my card,
and cordially received me, I found him
an old man of seventy-live years, a half
finger under six feet in height apparently
a man of sorrows, but withal of an ex
tremely agreeable and gentle nature. lie
wore a black alpaca frock coat, and his
dress otherwise was also noticeable for
comfort and simplicity. Time has cer
tainly softened the outlines of his face,
unless the current photographs of it are
travesties. His beard is short and white
and his frame fragile, but upright and
steady, lie at once entered into cheerful
conversation, but the subdued sadness of
his countenahce did not wholly disappear
even when he smiled.
“Has your history of the war been a
success, Mr. Davis?” I asked of him.
“I know very little about it since put
ting it into the hands of the publishers.
If the amount of money it has brought
me is a criterion I should sav that it has
not been successful.”
“Are you engaged in any similar en
terprise now, and do j r ou expect to give
any more utterances upon the questions
involved in the civil war
“None at all,”
“Do you contemplate ever making a
tour of the north ? I have seen by the
papers that such a trip was not improba
ble.”
“When you see anything in the papers
about me you can almost always accept
the contrary as the truth. Ido not now
ever expect to go north. lam now liv
ing a quiet life, removed entirely from
public observation. I receive numerous
invitations to make public addresses, but
I habitually decline them, even those
coining from my own neighborhood.”
“What is the hope of the south?”
“Her vast timber reigioos, stretching
from the Pearl river to the coast, almost
as yet untouched; her mineral resources
of almost unbounded value, and her
rich soil, capable of producing almost
eyery thing that grows. At Birmingham,
on the Louisville, and Nashville road, in
Alabama, a great city lias sprung up
among the mines, and all through the
south are evidences of growth. The soil
and climate are favorable tor stock rais
ing and the south will coin money from
this advantage. The south is a great
undeveloped quantity, but its importance
will not remain long unknown.”
The entrance of Mrs. Davis and her
daughter interrupted the conversation
intercepted my h >pe of leading him and
into an expression of personal and politi
cal views. Mrs. Davis is a portly and
intelligent lady, several years the junior
other husband. Owing to the slight
deafness of Mr. Davis, she at once as
sumed the lead of the conversation. Miss
Divis, palefaced and plain of dress and
manners, is a young lady of culture and
much good sense; The family relations
were apparently of the most tender
nature. To the wife and daughter there
is no greater hero than the husband and
father.
LITERARY NOTES.
The November number of The Ladies,
Floral Cabinet, New York, is of unusual
interest. John Thorpe contributes an
article upon “Art applied to Bedding,”
in which lie describes the process of
making entirely of plants, the medallion
portraits of Washington and Lincoln,
shown the past season at the Alleghany
Citj' Park. Peter Henderson’s sugges
tions upon “Window Gardening and the
Care of Plants in Rooms” will also be
lead with interest. C. E. Parnell tolls
how to cultivate the Acrolinum, one of
the most valuable of the Everlastings,
while among editorial articles, the Selugi
uella and Cyclamen are ably treated and
illustrated. There also seyeral interes
ting stories and poems, and the decora
tive department, with its descriptions of
pretty articles suitable for Christmas
gifts, made plain by illustrations, will be
especially appreciated, as the holiday
season is so near at hand.
It has been the habit ol the publish, is
of the Floral Cabinet to send out to its
subscribers, eacli year, some premium
of a distinctively floral nature, and forthe
present season they announce for every
yearly subscriber “two Ever-Blooming
Roses,” or “ten packets Flower-Seeds,”
mailed post free. We have arranged to
supply our own publication and the
Ladle's Floral Cabinet at a special p ice,
$3.00 for both, and the premium Roses
or Flower-Seeds, as may he selected, are
included in tills clubbing arrangement.
Any of our readers may have a copy of
the Cabinet, for examination at hail price
