■ICON TELEGRATH AND HESSESSQ
FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1*82.
Another Niclie for L'lny.
It so happened during the late war that
for a time we were domiciled on the same
floor of the Spottswood Hotel in Rich-
raoud, Virginia, and hard by the quaitera
of the Hon. James A. Seddon, then Sec*
retary of War. Attendant upon Mr. bed*
don was an ancient body servant of the
old regime named Charles, who associated
himself with all of the Incidents of his
master's life. He had spent some years
In Washington City, whilst Mr. Seddon
was a member af Congress, and had an
idea that he and “Mars Jceines riprislnted
the Goochland deestrlct.”
At the time of which we write shoe
leather was a very scarce and dear com*
modlty, and our noble defenders were !n
such straits for tbts needful apperdageof
a soldlir, that a pair of boota or shoe# left
outside a door over night would not be
found there In the morning. Wherefore
It came to pats that an arrangement
made between Charles and ourselves^*
whereby for and in consideration of a
multitude of Confederate bills be was to
build our fires and black oiAboes in the
mornings. If by tome une^named pro*
cess ibis verbal treaty was subsequently
construed to cover the tapping of the run*
nets of wMsky presented to the Secretary
of War by patriotic Hillers, no greater
violence was done to plain language be*

have been scattered, and ho, himself,
would be, to*day, either a fugitive or a
captive—sharing with Cetewayo, the do*
throned African king, tte mild horrors of
an unjust prison life. But the ponderous
methods of the British government, and
the consequent delays In the British camp
have enabled Arabl to reform, redisclpliue
aud reinforce his troops, and prepare them
to meet the euemy with somn degree of
courage and steadiness. The “menacing
activity” in the camp of tbe Arabs way
mean that their leader hu determined
to wait no longer for the British
to meet him. It may indicate that he
has had the promise of succor from the
Mohammedan tubes of Africa. It may
mean that the “holy war” is already
somethlug more than a mere con*
tir.gency. If this should be meant, then
Great Britain will find that haste la not
only thing that makes waste, when
lostlle armies are facing each other on
field of battle. Romethiog besides
prestige will be lost, If the Maharamedan
population o( Asia should be Induced to-

Mu. Stetbses in probably still of tbe
opinion that the Democratic Presidential
convention “might go further and fare
worse than by nomiuatlcg Grant.”
These was a time when it wasn’t consid
ered a sin to refuse to “follow the multi
tude to do evil.” If it be a sin now, we
shall have to take the consequences.
Sfeeh and Lawalie are actually wliooping
so loud for.Mr. Stephens in tbe ninth dis

Now we call that a first-elass outrage.
Gantt thought the bsttlo would oome off
in the ninth district, but it took piece in
Atlanta. There is where the supposed or
ganized ninth district Democrats missod it.

will be lively from now till the day of

Tbeee ought to be a re rrganisation of
Hie Democratic party in every county in
the State, on a Democratic bails. Unless
this is speedily done, the days of the old
party aro numbered, If the present con
dition of things Is allowed to continue, its
overthrow before 1HHI Is foredoomed.
It is sal J that Arab! Bey has made e re

There are two candidates before the
people asking for their election to the gu
bernatorial office, and there are not, in
the State, fifty men who know the views of
these candidates on a single question of
local concern. Neither of them has any
platform of practical interest, aud tbe peo
ple are expected to vote like mere blind
machine*. _
Buskin has advanoed tbe idea that every
child should l e taught the “calling” by

that a gentleman of Mr. Raskin's experi
ence would know that “a calling” was one
of the fine points of the game. It is one
of the wild delusions of the thco ists to
suppoee that you can teach any child just
when to “can.”

has long aince gone where the good dark*

As the sheet were being pol shod,
Charles was wont to regale us with com
roenta upon the newt of the day, for he
was garrulous and gossipy* as most valets
are, and with reminltcences of his polltl*
cal Ufa.
After these years one Incident lirgert
with us. Without preliminary approach
of any sort, he Inquired of us one
Ing: “Did you ever knoe^ ole man

tbe pleasure had been denied us. Drop

of oar gratification at having met an Inti*

asked: “Ain't you never seed bis potrate

negative. “Then,” said be, “you must go

Our venerable friend, tapster,bootblack
and politician, had gotten his identities
mixed; be evidently referred to tbe statue
of Henry Clay which had been erected on
the public square some years previously
and then stood covered by a sort of pa

Tbe statue represented Mr. Clsy as in the

reproduce iu another column the let-
of the Hon. Georg. T. Barnes to' the
Hon. Pat Walsh.
Il'is a strong, manly, honest plea for
harmony, and we trust the Hon. Pat
Walsh and the other ''Jeffersonian Demo
crata” will not refuse to be harmonized.
Indeed, bnt lor tte letter of Mr. Barnes,
which may be tald to charge it by Impli
cation, we should not know but that
peace and harmony, concord and brother-
love, existed thioughout the ranks of
'Jeffersonian Democracy.''
From Ibe wa; they stuck to each other
the late convention without regard to
principle, precedent or the views of a
very large, able and Intelligent minority,
had reached the eonciunon that the
“Jeffereoulau Democracy” were a band of
brother! among whom “blood la thicker
than water,” and that nothing oonld pos
sibly cause coolneu or estrangement
among them. Even uow we aro more
than disponed to think that Mr. Barnea
under the nervous depression which fol
lows tbe great tension of a brief but bois
terous campaign, bu permitted Lis Dare
exaggerate tte dangers of the real
•ituatiou.
It la true that tte recant gubernatorid
nomination bu not been received with
ulvce of artillery. There has been a not-
absence of bonfires. Perhaps these
were lighted too eoon on the “mountain
tope” by the “clans of tbe volley,” and
hail borgpd down to cold ubea before tho
hurrah time wu announced. The bssa
drum, tbe tom-tom, the bewgaf rttnd tlte
eymhaia havo not cluhed In accord. But
this may be accounted for by the exhaust
ed condition of the musical professors in
charge of these charming Instruments,
who wuted their wind in the early days
the campaign.
But notwithstanding tbe lack of lurid
flames, booming guns, rattling drums and
the wild acclaims of tte gsrllc-e sting mob,
we havo not been able to dlseorer such
Incipient evidences of revolt u would
Justify lire sonorous snd eloquent epistle
of Mr. Barnes. Gov, Bullock Is smiling
and happy. Col. Thornton ralllri tho
liberal cohorts in tbe apodal car which
bore tte nominee back to the national
capital and tte neglected duties of a pop
ular representative. Dr. Felton lie* Just
proclaimed from tte stump that ha and
hla friends are harmonious and more than
satisfied that tte “Jeflereonlan Democra
cy” have seen fit to aodorea their chosen
leader. Speer, Willingham and Lawete
appertain mott cordially—at the risk
tautology we may uy harmoniously.
No note ot dissent hu buu neard Iron
Longstreet, Farrow or any of the coali
tion colonels, so tbe fair presumption
that they are satisfied, yea harmouited.
General Gartrell and tte colored troops
still stand out, hut u tte Generai'a chief
organ bu ceased pi grind Gartrell music,
we may imagine that word pasted from
Washington will harmonize this contin
gent.
Therefore beyond the conveyence of the
uturance, which wu uunecezsary, that
Mr. Barnaa and hla friends will support
Mr. Hardeman, wa can attach little or no
Importance to tbe letter.
And yet it is In soma respects a good
letter.
That section ol it commencing with
these words, “It ia In this eplrlt," and
ending with tte word “Jacob,” is worthy
of better on than to call Democrats

We publish elsewhere Mr. SteplituV*
letter of acceptance. When Uie mis',
erable emasculated platform r.f the
Jeffersonian phase of the Georgia
Democracy was put forth by a
committee of one faction of the party,
the disgust of many Democrats was openly
expressed. The spirit running through
the whole affair was that of apology for
what little ot point rnd directness wu
contained In it. Democrats; who expected
to see an open and manly platform put
forward, were thoroughly disappointed at
tbe shallow embodiment of generalities
that was put forth forth by the controlling
faction of tbe convention. This spirit
somewhat allayed, we aro iufoimed,
by the promise that tbe nominee of the
convention would supplement ail the de
ficiencies of the platform, aud give tbe
party the outlines of a specific policy. The
letter of the nominee was to be more
Democratic than the convention to which
owed his nomination.
It bu been staled that among tbe other
resolutions olftftd wu one resolving that
abuse* should be corrected withlu, not
without, the party—a resolution against
IudependenUsm,* drawn wiUi a mild and
forgiving hand. That resolution was
stricken out, as Is supposed, by Mr* Ste
phens himself. To bo sure it wu Demo
cratic. But it wasn’t Jeffersonian ; and
the DeroocraUc era had pused and the
Jeffersonian era wu at hand.
But that wu said to he a small matter
the new-departurists. They said ail
that would te attended to when the letter
acceptance wu wriUen. Then things
were guing to be set right. Then the
crooked placet wire to be made straight.
Then the lines wero to be diawn so
plainly that there should be no room to
doubt u to tho complexion of the party,
u to Its position on questions of local
Importance. There wu to be a party
sblbbolctb, and Georgia Democrats were
know tbo meaning of Georgia Dcmoc*
racy.
The mountains labored and brought
forth a ridiculous Jeffersonian mouse.
Tbe letter was no revelation. It adds
nothing to tho small treuures of the plat
form. It is u non*committal on all ques
tions of local Georgia politics u the Songs
of Salomon or the lamentations of Jere
miah. It is one of the proudest triumphs
of the “Circumlocution Office,” Jfor In it
the Democrats of tbe State aro told “how
not to dolt” In a manner that would have
rejoiced the red-tape idiots ot Dlckona’s
proudest creation. Tbe Jeffersonian let
ter Is mere Jeffersonlau moonshine—shlu
ing upon nothing that needed any light
all, and only serving to confuse that on
which It impinges. Tho platform Is be
neath criticism, u wo have before said
and tho letter la its alter eyo. They
utterly fall to meet any Issue at all; and
the absence of a private mark would

servitude.” It may gall the pride of white
be ruled by a majority of black*; It
aught to gall them more to resort to perjury,
fraud and violence to stifle the lawful voloc of
a majority ot whatever race, color or opinion.
The lost spirit of the Press needn’t fret
about Tillman's supply of “enthusium.”
There ia going lo be enough of It for all
practical purposes, and it will supplement
the backbone of the “returning board ma
chinery.” That is all right.
South Carolina Is a while man’s gov
ernment, just as Tillman laid, and just as
I'eunsy 1 van 1 a Is. The kmwe of the Press
would have African governments in the
South and Caucasian governments in the
North. That is bis programme, but it
Isu't ours. It Isn’t South Carolina's.
Nigger governments bare no place here.
There Is room for them In Africa—room
for them in the North, If the Press desires
it, but theio isn’t room for them Cere, and
here they will not be tolerated.
Wbat bas the constitution got to
do about it? It wasu't respectable
enongb to keep tbe editor of tbe Press
and tbe other robbers of the North from
stealing the negroes, when they were
property; and its supposed provisions
will net *r tie down the white people of
tbe South to be robbed and oppressed by
these ytolen aud liberated slaves. Tbe
law of self-preservation, which Is as high
a law as that ahlch once triumphed over
tho “constitution” all through the North,
forbids it. It is this “higher law.” If the
Press pleases, that will always stand be
tween the white people of the South and
negro dominatior. The maintenance of
a white man's government ltt the South
is a matter of social, moral, material and
political necessity, and there la no need to
parley and prate about it. This is “blas
phemy” according to the Press; according
to deceucy and common sense, it is sim
ply the necessary conclusion of a wise
and practical statesmanship. Tillman
may not return to Congress. If he should
not, some other white man will. Smalls

carry the lead row, he would be worth

The rules which should govern political
contests aro so nearly allied to those of
warfare, that in many essentials tho sys*
tom of tho ono tnty bo properly applied
to tho other.
As In war It Is conceded that the
chances favor tbo aggressive policy, all
experience gathered from political con-
tests tends to establish the fact that the
assaulting party hold* the best chances
for success. But no leader either in war
or politics, who has reputation to risk,
will move forward columns to the attack
•ave from a safe base. The commander
of an army locates b:s base of supplies,
whilst the political leader establishes his
platform. As the banners are carried
to the front about which
line* are drawn, so the princi
ple* enunciated in a platform may
be considered to be the color guard,
around which tbe rank and file are to
gather. A party which seeks tbe suf*
frsges and support of the pepple should so
formulate Its platform of principles as to
mske the issues sharply cut and well
defined. It roust give pledge to tbe pub
lic of Its policy, aud the tell use It Intends
to make of the victory R may win. With
out this a parly may perhaps win some
unimportant and ephemeral success, but
It caunot hope to conquer and to hold by
guerrilla fighting.
Just now tbe Democratic party of Geor
gia la marshalled in battle array, under
bauner Inscribed with some old worn po
litical platitudes that havo seen service
long that one is in doubt whether they
really emanated from Tliomas Jeffenon
or Rip Van Wiukle. They ignore the
present and are as worthless tor all prac-
cal me as tbe Sunday-school mottoes lu va-
i legated crewel and peiforated pasteboard
which adorn the walls of many of our
bouses. The Democratic party Is strong
In numbers, eager in spirit and trenchaut
lo courage, but It is led by bosses, who
desire to resp personal advantages and
gratify certain ambitions rather than
accomplish grand result* towards the es
tablishment of good government.
We cannot say that we have been an ad*
mi:er ol the political methods of tbe bril
liant editor of tbe Lou'svllle Courier*
Journal, though our esteem f<lr his versa
tile and powerful Journalistic ability
great, but In commenting upon the recent
apology for a platform laid down by the
late State convention of Georgia Demo
crats, he gives vent to an honest and
dlgnant protest which meeta cor unquali
fied indorsement. Mr. Walterson says
Uow long u this union ol Icnonvwo and

enllghtenad and ardent young Democrats

NeW Parliamentary Law,
The rulings ot tbe chairman of the
Democratic meeting held at tho court
house ou yesterday were tbo most remark
able that It has ever been our fortune to
have heard.
He decided, first, that a motion, dhly
seconded, to lay Air. Dessau's resolution
tbe table, was out of order uutll
Mr. Dessau had an opportunity to be
heard.
A gentleman afterwards obtained the
floor and made a motion to adjourn. Th!a
motion was duly seconded. Tbe chair
man decided the motion out of order.
Melt's Manual quotes tbe following as
subsidiary questions: “ Lie on the
table,” “Postpone to a time definite,’
Prevlocs question,” “Poslponemcat in
definite,” “Commitment” and “Amend
ment.” These subsidiary questions take
precedence In tbe order named. It will
noted, therefore, that tha inot'ou to
on tho table is tbe highest tubsldiary
motion and takes precedence. Moll says
‘The motion to lie on the table Is as olten
made by the enemies as by the friends of
the measure, and may be employed not
only to give way to a measure of more
pressing importance bnt to get rid of the
proposltlcu altogether.” Tho motion to
lie on the table takes precedence ©f all
other subsidiary questions.
Mell also says: “The motion to ad
journ takes precedence or all other ques
tions. « • • • Tkj, motion can
be made at any time, provided the mover
can legitimately obtain the floor.”
Cushlng'a Manual, which we have con
suited, laysdowu the tame rules. We
call attention to theso authorities as being
directly opposed to tbe rulings of Major
Tbarpe yesterday, and would suggestthat
they are acknowledged in all deliberative
