UNION & RECORDER,
Millkdgkvillk, April 20, 1880.
Mr. Gladstone’s Efforts for Reform in
Ireland.
Every effort, that could be made to
depress Air. Gladstone in his noble
scheme for justice to Ireland, has been
brought forward to effect his defeat.
No one denies his masterly efforts,
the spirit and energy with which he
has appealed to all parties to do jus
tice to Ireland by giving her Home
Rule not inconsistent with the integ
rity of the British empire. His op
ponents, while asking the House and
the people to hear all sides, are un
worthily misrepresenting Mr. Glad
stone's policy, and wilfully and falsely
declaring, that, if adopted, it will
make Ireland an independent na
tion as much so as France or Germa
ny. Lord Churehhill said in his place
in the House: “The real principle of
the bill was a repeal of the union.”
Coming from such a source it is calcu
lated to mislead members, who, hav
ing no fixed views of their own, rely
upon the declarations of such men as
Lord Churehhill. We doubt if Church-
hUI comprehends the great measure of
Mr. Gladstone for the relief of Ireland.
But he places himself in an unenvia
ble light when he intimates it would
be a total repeal of the union to adopt
t, for it exhibits his ignorance of the
measure, or a desire to defeat it by
misrepresentation. Instead of de-
-trov ng the Union, it rivets it with
bands of justice, and we may properly
add of kindness. The hearts, of the
people which have been indurated by
tyranny w ill be softened by kindly
sympathy and practical justice. The
occasion is a great one and may be
attended by the most valuable re
sults for the whole Empire of Great
Britain. It would be attended by
those virtues of friendly union which
will make Ireland a powerful sup
port to the British Throne. Blind
will the English be if they shall steel
t heir hearts against this grand scheme
of peace and reconciliation.
THE TARIFF.
We trust the Morrison bill will be-
•i-oine a law. The Democratic party
was pledged by their resolutions in
National convention to reduce the
tariff or attempt to do so. The Re
publicans too were pledged to some
reduction. But so far the Fall River
Flag seems to be in the ascendancy.
They hurrah over their many millions
of bounty. What the people want is
a reasonable reduction, gradually
made, so 1 hat no interest will be great
ly injured and every interest will be
gradually improved. The people have
slept long and quietly over their
wrongs and they expect the Demo
crats. If possible, to relieve them ; at
anv rate to make an honest effort to
do so. We hope a vigorous effort will
is* made to secure the earliest possi
ble reduction.

The Celebration of the Chatham Ar
tillery Centennial in May.
Tiio soldiers of the State and in fact
d the whole country have their eyes
on Savannah and the approcahing
•« h i irat ion of the Centenial of the
"hatham Artillery.
The one hundredth anniversary of
• his gallant battery is full of histori-
‘id and pleasant memories, and it is
nmb-r that the celebration on the

The Chatham Artillery
distinction in the Revolu-
ionarv -struggles and had the honor
i being complimented by General
fa-liington in the field and also of
• ing inspected by President Washing-
>n hi time of peace. The record of
■ie company has been transmitted
ntarnished for a century, and it is
:!! one of the finest organizations in
7e country. Its centennial celebra-
!on will be a genuine reunion, and
Dldiers will come from North ard
oath to join in the encampment and
jilitary exercises of the first week in
lav. Fully three score companies
f infantry and cavalry will unite in
ne celebration.
The Chathains know bow T to arrange
u-h celebrations, for they observed
leir 50th and 75th anniversaries on
n extensive scale and with great
vie. Hon. John Ward, now of New
ork. but at the time a young man
f Savannah, delivered the oration at
•>e fiftieth anniversary, and Colonel
has. C. Jones, Jr., had the honor of
elivering the oration at the seventy-
fth anniversary. By a pleasing
^incidence, or rather on account of
gratifying survival of the former,
Chat hams have prevailed upon
fr Ward to deliver the Centennial
ration. He will thus have had the
onor of delivering two of the chief
rmiversarv orations before this his-
mc command with a space of a half
sntury intervening. Col. Jones will
l the approaching Centennial con
fute a sketch of the command,
bieh will add to the interest and
istoric memory of thejoccasion. The
Dmmand of the military features of
ie celebration will be vested in Gen.
Burd Grubb, of the U. S. Army,
ad commander of the First Troop of
hiladelpbia City Cavalry.
Our Next Judge.
We announced some time since that
Judge T. G. Lawson, the presiding
judge of this circuit, w T ould retire from
the bench at the expiration of his
present term. The next Legislature
will, therefore, have to appoint a new
Judge. We have already heard the
names of several prominent gentle
men mentioned in connection with
this position, and among the number,
that of Captain C. P. Crawford, of
Milledgeville. In all the range of our
observation, we know of no one bet
ter capacitated to fill the position.
Not only is he competent to fill this
position* but he would reflect credit
upon the Supreme Court of Georgia,
were he a member of that august
body. Aside from possessing the
highest order of legal ability, his in
tegrity of character is a conspicuous
feature of the man. His life’s- record
is without a blemish, and in the
strongest sense of the words, he is a
noble Christian gentleman. There is
nothing of the demagogue or poltroon
about him. He has ever held himself
aloof from all political intrigues, and
if he is elected Judge of this circuit, it
will be upon his own merits, for he
will never stoop to electioneering
sharp practice to gain any position
within the gift of the people. It is
because of these qualities of mind and
heart that we are anxious to see him
appointed. The position of a Judge
of the Superior court is an important
one, and the people cannot be too so
licitous in getting the right man for
the office.—Irwinton Southerner.
THE MEXICAN PENSION KILL.
The Mexican pension bill passed the
House by a vote of 158 to 88. It has yet to
pass the Knuntlet of the Senate; and the
friends of the bill are a little apprehen
sive that it may meet its doom in that Au
gust body. We hope, however, that such
will not be the case, and the bill will pass
giving the noble old veterans their dues.
They served their country with patriotic
zeal and bravery, and deserve the recom
pense.
The following is the bill as passed:
Section 1. That the Secretary of the
Interior be and he is hereby authorized
and directed to place the names of all sur
viving officers, soldiers and sailors who
enlisted and served in the war with Mexico
for any period during the years 1845, 1846,
1847 and 1848 and were honorably discharg
ed, and their surviving widows, on the
pension roll at the rate of $8 per month
from and after the passage of this act
during their lives.
See 2. That the Secretary of the Inte
rior is hereby authorized and directed to
make such rules and regulations as are
necessary to carry this act into effect, pro
vided that where it shall appear that dis
charge is lost secondary evidence may
be permitted; and wtaero it shall appear
an applicant has received land warrant
that shall be sufficient evidence of an hon
orable discharge unless the evldenoe
shows that he procured It by fraud; and
provided further, that this act shall not
apply to persons under political disabili
ties
Henry Clay’s Fortune.
[Ben: Perley Poore.)
Henry Clay was pronounced in
solvent by his Kentucky opponents
in 1842, and they paraded some mort
gages on his property as evidence of his
inability to pay his debts. In a letter to a
friend, denying this calumny, Mr. Clay
said: “I am not free, absolutely, from
debt. 1 am not rich. 1 never covet
ed riches. But my estate wouId, even
now, be estimated at not much less than
$100,000. Whatever it may be worth,
it is a gratification to me to know
that it is the produce of my own
honest labor, no part of it being here
ditary except one slave, who w T oukl
oblige me very much if he would ac
cept his freedom. It is sufficient, af
ter paying all my debts, to leave my
family above want if I should be sep
arated from them. It is a matter,
also, of consolation to me to know
that this wanton exposure of my pri
vate affairs can do me no pecuniary
prejudice. My few creditors will not
allow their confidence in me to be
shaken by it. It has, indeed, led to
one incident, which was at the same
time a source of pleasure and of pain.
A friend lately called on me, at the
instance of other friends, and informed
me that they were apprehensive that
my private affairs were embarrassed,
and that I allowed these embarrass
ments to prey upon my mind. He
came, therefore, with their authority,
to tell me that they would contri
bute any sum that I might want to
relieve me. The emotions which
such a proposition excited can be con
ceived by honorable men. I felt most
happy to be able to undeceive them,
and to decline their benevolent pro
position.” Mr. Clay never had any
outstonding accounts at Washington,
and as he did not keep house it was
not difficult for him to “pay as he
went.”
