Tn Constitution says: “It gives
pleasure to state that Mr. Hyphens is not
a modern statesman." Certainly. No one
will deny that Mr. Stephens belongs to the
Silurian period. Does the Constitution pre

It has, of late years, so frequently boasted?

The Constitution's Young Jinn Again
On Sunday last ire published a card
from Mr. L. N» Trammell In relation to
language contained Iu an article published
a few days previous under the head of “A
Mule's Tail." Upon the same day the
Atlanta Constitution published a card
from Mr. Trammell In relation to the
same subject, but materially different in
spirit and language. Doth cards bare al
ready appeared iu these columns. As tbe
Constitution btd not then and has not
yet found space for what we have said*
it struck us as strauge that Mr. Trammel
should seek the reader of tbe Constitution 1
in tbe ahape of an assault upon General
Young and ourselves aud. a defense of
Mr. Grady, one of tbe editors cf the Con
stllutlon. He was addressing an audience
that was hi profound ignorance of tbe

It cut each ridiculous antics as character-
lied the Chronicle when it succeeded In
leying its hysterical head on the bosom of
the “Smith letter.” It anything so sensa
tional or ridiculous as that can be brought
to our charge, let it be produced.
Tbe Chronicle men have been unusu
ally dull readers of the Telegraph and
Messenger and of tbe Atlanta Constitu-
Hon if it does not know that the latter Is
responsible for tbe statement that “Mr.
Stephens’ friends in the doubtful dis
tricts will revolt if he Is not nominated.”
In the Atlanta CondUution, of Juno
10th, in an editorial entitled “Carrying
the Doubtful Districts,” was the follow
ing paragiapb:
Suppose the Democrat*, having secured Mr.
Stephen*' complete adhesion, having "bound
him hand aud toot," aa the Independents
•hould defeat him. How the cry of treachery
end deception would ring throuih the 8tate !
How Mr. Stephens' friends would denounce the
trick through which their favorite had been
captured and then betrayed! Iu our opinion
such action would create such a revolt against
the organization that It would beat the nomi
nee In most of the contested district*.
On June Ulb the paragraph waa copied
In tbe Telegrapu and Meambxoeh
and commented on at some length.
It was Interpreted as a double
confession: First, that such .assurance
had been- given Mr. Stepbena and his
friends of bis nomination aa to cause “the
cry of treachery and deception" to “ling
through the State," in case of bis defeat;
and second, that tbe allegiance of Mr.
Stephens' frienls to the organization In
the contested districts Is contingent on bis
nomination. If the languagi of the Con-
dilution, quoted on June lltb, and again
to-day, does not mean this, It means notb-
Ing. We submit that there waa nothing
atrange in our suppoamg that the Condi-
tutlon was posted on tbe views and feel*
ings of tbe Stephens men In the contested
districts, or lo our giving its statement in
that connection credit for being strictly
truthful.
Now the Chronicle comes and seeks t>
create tbe Impression—Indeed, actually
charges, that the statement Is a “sensa-
were made aware of the real facts.
On Monday Gen. Young went to At
lanta aud to the Constitution office to
have the matter put ri.ht. In the edito-
lial columns of the Atlanta Constitution
of Tuesday lids language occurs in the
shape of ait apology or explanation,
will bear either interpretation:
In the Sunday'# iaaue of the Constitution
published n cur-1 from Col. Trammell, which
hod been changed after Col. Trammell wrote It
by one who felt authorized to do to, hut with
no object except to make U more intelligible,
by Inserting the language: "Theae word* are
attributed, whether correctly or not I cannot
aay, to General !*. M. D. Young." The card a*
thus changed might be construed as a reflection
on General 1 oung. General Young has as em
phatically denied the use of the language Im
puted to him as has Col. Trammell, and w<
feel sure that there was no Intention on the
part of Col. Trammell to reflect In any way on
Gen Young. He simply wished to make an
emphatic denial o! the language attributed to
him.
The young man of the Constitution ad
mits that he altered Mr. Trammell's card
before publication, but pleads that he
felt authorized to do so," and that It waa
only altered by tbe insertion of tbe words:
These words are attributed, whether
correctly or not 1 cannot aay, to General
Young."
The admission Is distinct, particular and
unmistakable. The young man “felt
tborized" to make a conectlon, which cor
rection Is indicated in words. In the
Constitution of Thursday morning, lira
young man publishes this:
Mr. Lamar, of the Macon Tconaacii, Is sore
over what he calls a "change of the records'
In CoWnel Trammell's late card. The
plain one. Mr. lemar published a statement
as coming from General Young. Mr. Trammell
denounced It as "an unqualified lie." General
Young never said suy such thing ns Mr. I a mar
attributed to him. Mr. Lamar himself confesses
that General Young never said IL That Is all
there Is of It. As to the "change of the records,
Mr. Trammell's letter, now tiefore us says,
"change the above as you think best In any,
way." On this explicit authority we changed
the word "lie" to "false," and Incorporated
this sentence "whether correctly or incorrectly
tUnuu'Ifd to General Young." It has been
publicly contested of Mr - t»m»r tint the

Let us go back to Mr. Trammell'a card,
which la u follow.:
Tbe Km*my St At*h*» This Wa/.
The army worm lias tamed his face to
the South, aud is marcjing In serried col-
utnus towards tbe fields of cotton.
Forewarned and forearmed, our plant-
a should be prepared to meet the
alaught and to stay the Invader. From a
report made by passengers from Kentucky
to tbe Cincinnati Enquirer, we learn that
they are traveling In a southerly direction,
about one mile in twenty-four hours, and
devastation and ruin m^rk llieir progress.
The farmers for miles around have gdlh
ered m maun , and are lighting them with
fire, water and everything else the invent
ive genius of man can suggest to stop
their further progress, but so far without
success, and at the time of the train's ar
rival at Marshall thoy had gathered on
the track to the depth of seven or eight
inches, and completely blockaded the
train for several hours.
It is known that 1'aris green properly
administered will kill the worm and save
the crop. Captain Warner, of Texas, an
old Confederate, has invented a cheap pro*
cess for applying a solution of Paris green
and weexunot do our planting patrons a
greater service thin by producing this ac
count of its workings from a Texas corre
spondent. He writes:
I visited his field tn nnler to witness the
suit ot experiment* with Captain Jackson War-
"saddle sprinkler." This I* a device for
sprlnkUnf cotton with cotton worm poison, lit
which the poison In liquid fora U contained
la two ■ tout rubber b«c», adapted to lie easily
and with the weight well balanced, on both
sides of a horse, and the poison is thrown out
In the form of a spray. We witnessed the Alt'
ing of the rubber bags, which is sufficient to
hold poison for sprinkling one half acre of cot
ton with rows fouiWeet apart, and also the ac
tion of the sprinkler In actual work. The bagi
can bo eaaily filled in three minutes, with
cheap and easy contrivances. The laborers
who operated tin sprinkler complained of
fatigue, and seem to do their work simply by
the ordlnarr motion of riding and direcUng
the nozzle of the spray hose. We examined the
cotton in the rows as sprinkled, and found that
the leaves were uniformly and well covered
with the liquid poUon.
Two rows at a time are readily saturated
with the poison spray and the time required
lor the operation Is not more thau
minutes to the acre. Adding the time for
twice filling the saddle bags, six minutes, one
hand on horseback can readily sprinkle one
acre In ! wcntr minutes, or three acres In one
hour.
C.|.teln Thorapron rloflfto IS »' « hi. field,
which he lisd sprinkled the day before Ottr ;
vL,lL He stated tka{ |hf cotton In tb« field
which hv had rq-rh'AU-.'. was covered wlih
Worms. We made a careful examination and
veatige of the worm*, except on a few
•talks mimed by the c*rvl**»«iie«s of the labjr.
t' The cotton In the field he waa sprinkling
the day of our visit was covered with worms*
and Captain Thompson stated that the other
field* sprinkled the day before were in like
dltion.
shadow of a doubt Iu tbe minds of dls- 1
passionate thinkers that the Free Press la
right in claiming that Mr. Stephens is
committed to Independentlsin rather
thin against It. It It a matter of noto
riety that Feiton'* crowd met In
Atlanta on a certaiu occasion, that they
adopted a platform of principles, that
they placed Mr. Stephens on that platform
as their candidate, and that, to far from
declaring that be could oot be a candidate
on that 1’ne, be wrote a warm letter to
Dr. Felton, indorsing what was done,
view of all this, It would seem that tbe
Fret Press has decidedly the beat o( the
ConsfHuffon iu their rough and tumble
Ught over the uncommon common-
If he Indorsed tb
tlon of Felton'e committee, it cannot
be true, as tbe Constitution alleges, that
“whoever support* Mr. Stephens does go
with the knowledge that hla candidacy ia
for the avowed purpose of destroying In
dependentism." If he did not indorse
tbe action of Felton's committee of Inde
pendents, how could he have declared
that said action wai, as he conceived it,
for the best interests of the State?”
There seems, tiien, no reason to doubt the
conclusion ot the Free Press that, if tbe
Demo:ratic convention In July aeea prop
er to indorse Mr. Stcpheus as its candidate,
it must take him staudiug squarely aud
approvingly on the Independent plat
form. There la no escape from this,
except such a one aa would involve the
old commoner In a very uncommon piece
of political turpitude. Having pronounc
ed tbe recommended candidacy of him
self, on an Independent platform,
mirable and looking to the best interest!
of tbe State, it is impossible to see bow he
can accept tbo candidacy tendered by
another party, on a platform committed
to the destruction of IndependentUm.
Tbe contest now going on between the
Independents and the Stephens Demo
crats furnishes the first Instance, In Geor
gia polities, in which hostile parties have
laid violent and persistent claim to the
tame leader as an advanced repre
sentative of the peculiar view*
both parties. The Telegraph and
Messexoer takes no stock In this unclassi
fied bone of political contention. Let the
Free Press and Constitution, and those
they represent, fight over it aa they please.
There are scores of men In tho Demo
cratic party who do not think Felton
“manar.c* 1 matters admirably'” at the In-
deper * i meeting—men who are Lot re
duced to tbe necessity of getting up ques
tionable affidavits from the Constitution
office to establish their sympathy with the
party. Tbe Democratic convention
should wash its hands of disreputable
Juggling, and nominate a Democrat
whose record is clear aud whose antece
dents are unquestionable.
Elitors Constitution i I notice the following
in the Macon TELKinuru of the Tth Inst:
My dear fellow, Soot Trammell told me la*t
■i^hl that Grady was the unonimon* choice of
the coQveiiUon-that the thing woe fixed, and
that the petition would be published on Tues
day."
These wonts are attributed-whether correct
ly or not I cauoot say—to General P. M. U.
Young. 1 am constrained to say that they are
unqualifiedly false In whole aud In pari,
never used any such language to any one at
any time. I did not know of any petition until
the Monday evening before It was published,
and could not have referred to It on Saturday
evening. The plain Intent of the language U
to prejudice the public mind against Mr.
Grady, who declined to make the nee. before
published. I therefore feel called upon
to make this explicit denial.
L. N. Tbammell.
Now lei us put lo tha young man's
word “He" and take out tbe word “false, 1
end it will read “unqualifiedly He in
whole and In part." Can any one credit
Mr. Tiamtneli with tbe cooetruction of
•uch a sentence?
Tbe young man of tbe Condltuilon baa
our Hill permission to punctuate hla para
graphs with “lie” whenever It may seem
good or necessary to him, but this matter
has now reached a point at which Mr.
Tramn:eU is clearly entitled to the floor,
and Injustice to all parties concerned be
should not hesitate to rise and explain.

It may have been a fault on our part,
but it has been our misfortune not to
agree with Senator Drown in some of his
political positions. If be is a party to tbo
ColquitbStephens combination, then we
were never at greater variance.. But he
hu recently assumed a position in which
we can stand near to him, and we don';
!lcs'itaie to do so. He introduced Into the
Senate a resolution providing that each
Senator should have a clerk at a salary of
twelve hundred dollars a year, to be paid
out of tbe contingent fund, lit behalf of
this resolution he made a speech, which
we reproduce in fall, from the columns of
tbe Congressional Record,
Senator Drown states hla position fairly,
and sustains it by reason and arguments,
to the strength of which we cannot hope
to add. We merely desire to a/iy that io
our Judgment his speech is conclusive of
the subject. We believe tbs', public offi
cials and representatives are underpaid,
and that out of the limited sa'ariea allowed
them they are compelled to meet ex
penses which aliculd be borne out of the
public purse. Congressmen would not be
overpaid with a salary of teu thousand
dollar* per annum, and if In addi'
tlon to Ibis they were provided with
clerks they would be better able lo at
tend to the multifarious and growing de
mands of their constituencies. The idea
of cheap service in governmental affairs la
a snare and delusion. The government ia
but tbe servant and representative of tbe
people, and the people who pay
should be served with tbe best.
Tbe business kr.il goes into mar
ket overt, and pays for brains, Integrity
aud experience the very highest cash price,
and tbe government should do the same.
It U no argument to say that men can be
found who will Im glad to undxrtake the

It bat become painfully evident that
the Chronicle a'so hm a “young man.' 1
We have beeu forced to this conclusion
by tbe amusing ardor displayed by aome
ona connected with it in forcin'* it into
absurd and humiliating attitudes,
took occasion tho other day to call atten
tion to a pitiable attempt on the part cf
“young man" to hold the
TELEOHAm AND MESSENGER respon
•ibie for tbe Constitution's opinion of the
infidelity of tho Stephens men to the or
ganization. Now the “young mau" comes
forward agaiu, and, with what he doubt
leas considers a wonderful exhibition of
keenness, attempts to show some evidence
of inconsistency in the position of th:.*
pager with rcferer.co to Mr. Stephens,
The editorial infant of *,ho Chronicle iin
sgiues that there is a wonderful dcgioe
of inconsistency iu tho two poail
which he attributes to the Tele
GRAPH AND MESSENGER. This mani
fest weakness on the part of the “youn:
mau" of the Chronicle excites our com
miseration. Mr. Steplieus has
doubtedly been “warily playing into
the bauds of the enemies of the Demo-
crstic patty." That waa aud is our be
Ills letter to FalUju, tellin; him
that ho “giauaged matters admirably,
aud, as he (Stephens) believe J, “for tho
best interests of the State" when thi
dependent platform was promulgated
proves it. It ia also evident tha!
Stcpheus is being used av a conveuicr.ce
to further the aelthh ends of tlio ne w co
alition crowd. One new presents the old
commoner from hit own cunuiug stand
point, and the other presents him from
the standpoint of the still more cuuning
and unscrupulous ring of politicians that
have defiled Georgia Democratic politics
for several years past. Probably tho
young man tees the point. If he docs
not, and will take this solution over lo
Lite Keening Sews offi-te—whence he ha*
so often gotten light on points difficult to
hi* youthful mind—4»e can got all the
milestones on the way pointed out to him.
But saya the Chronicle's young wan:
“The T. and M. is not lacking in versa
tility ot views.” Juit think of that low
iu the Augusta Chronicle and Constitu
tionalist! There isn't a paper in the
State—not even excepting the wonderful
Journalistic chameleon of Atlanta, which
can show so great a variety of opinions in
regard to Mr. Stephens as the Augusta
organ of tbe new coalition. It will hardly
pretend that it was ever favorable to Mr.
Stephens so Ions as he showed a dispo
sition to keep other people from repre
senting the eighth district in Congress.
Tbe moment he announces ilia purpose
to “aland" for Congress no more in that
district, it blooms out Into a Stephens
organ, and fills tbe air with enthusiastic
erlea for the “old commoner." In 1878
it was War to thf death with Stephens.
.Now it is—
quaintance we meet; he Is the man who,
in any branch of bus'ness, is couteut to
Itt* J water, the raxn who lives without a
definite intention, and souuds no bugle
call above tho sleeping energies at hia
command. You can ace him lUtlc*al7
discharging ids duties, negligout of hi*
education, regardless of the rules of mor
ality nod of society, temporizing with
himself aud invariably persuaded that
me day his chanco will turn up.
There can be no progress without en
ergy. no success without object. By ob
ject ws do n /tmeau simple desire. Within
the boicra of almost every’man is a crav
ing for wealth, competence, position, or
prominence. This is desire, pure
and slmr’*®, the great unnamed ijrlce
which Talleyrand tells us of,
nover does become
object until determination hu crystallized
within It; until the will awakens.
i.i a atreatn only. Will is a giant. •The
out paiuts; the other pjsessea. The man
boy who fixes ids eye upon hla dream,
J bends every energy, uses every op
portunity and is not discouraged by delay,
never fails. Ho is the man who tower*
la tho business world, who forma public
opinion, who regulates governments, who
builds and operate* vast railroad lines,
ho secures riches, prominence and
opinion. Somehow, too, it seem* to be
the rule, that the height of bis attain
ments ii a» great as the obscurity front
which he climbed. The world and the
books are full at such men. They
never lose their grip. There cornea to
them iu their struggles dark days
and sex tons of “standstill.” They find
impossible to adrance without broader
education; they fasten their hold and
stand until they obtain It. They find
that more money is needed; they save
while waiting. They learn that confi
dence In their Integrity and btjslucai qual
ifications must be impressed upon peoplo
and employers; they bring every element
of energy in their natures to bear npon
the difficulty, and sooner or later the fruit
ripens; but turn backward or drift help-
leasly, never. The humblest employe
this city may follow their examples and
achieve equal success. Nine out of every
ten cf tho young men who clerk have
ntoro educatiou and more opportunities
for advancement than any of the long line
of illustrious men who sprang from
nothing and conquered condition.
