Speech of Mr. Henry W. Grady,
of Atlanta.
Of all the lands of earth, the land
of tlio Revolutionary Fathers was
the brightest and the dearest to the
writer’s youthful vision. The notes
of the old revolutionary horn, had
given way to the songs of the victors,
and the people of the new-born Con
federation of States, were rejoicing in
victorious triumph and singing Free
dom’s holy songs, under the Star
Spangled Banner in Freedom’s holy
land. Death had put no pale seal on
the glorious brows of Washington,
Jefferson or Franklin, or many others
whose history and fame were already
stamped with immortality. They
had finished their fight. The bloody
drama was over and the government
was moving on under a compact
made by Free, Sovereign and Inde
pendent States. The captivating pros
pect by degrees was overshadowed
with dark and impending clouds.
Passionate and presumptuous princi
ples were introduced to disturb the
peaceful equality and happy union of
the States in which existed the insti
tution of slavery. In the non-slave
holding States there urose a standard
of opinion against the institution
which defied the plain constitutional
right of the slave-holding States. Th#
slave hold,era were denounced as
leaguers in a compact with the Devil,
and their constitutional rights were
disregarded and threatened with dog
mas of violence. In vain did the peo-t
pie of the South invoke to their aid
the compact of Union, signed by eve
ry Representative of the original thir
teen States of the Confederacy. In
vain did they show that, it was an in
stitution recognized in the theocratic
government of the Jews. Not a pas
sage can bo found in all its history to
show that it was displeasing to the
God of the Jews, who has always been
recognized as the God of the Chris
tians. Finally, it became manifest
that the Southern States could not
maintain their rights in the Union
and they resolved to obtain them in
a separate government. The free
States, backed by nearly the whole
world, made war upon the slave
States and forced them to submit un
der the conquerer’s banner.
For ft term of years they were held
under the potent tyranny of the
North, receiving not even its con
temptuous mercy. So humiliating,
frightful and oppressive was this tem
porary rule, that our great orator and
Statesman, Benjamin H. Hill, seeing
that nothing was safe from this heart
less violence and tyranny poured out
weekly, week after week, his power
ful and celebrated notes o» the situa
tion to expose the wickedness of our
assailants and, save, if possible, our
people from the unbounded insolence
and oppression o our Northern con
querors. All our people remember
those patriotic and masterly pliillipics
which were issued, week after week,
in defence of the Southern people and
their rights. Notwithstanding our in
dependence was trampled on and our
rights and honor were profaned in
every way, Mr. Grady, who was in
vited to a dinner of the New England
Society given in New York, accepted
the invitation and made an eloquent
and powerful speech which was re
ceived with rapturousapplause. While
we are pleased that he had a good re
ception and evidently had a good
t me, we cannot concur in some things
that Mr. Grady said. We copy a few
sentences as follows:
4 The Cavalier as well as the Puri
tan, Haid the speaker, was on this con
tinent in its early days, and he
was ‘up and able to be about.’
But both Puritan arid Cavalier were
lust in the storm of their first revolu
tion, and the American citizen, sup
planting both and stronger than eith
er, took possession of the republic
bought by their common blood and
fashioned to wisdom, and charged
iiiuiself with teaching men govern
ment and establishing the voice of the
people as the voice of God. Great
types, like valuable plants, are slow
to flower ami fruit. But from the
union of these colonists, from the
straightening of their purposes and
tlie crossing of their blood, slow per
fecting through a century, came he
who stands as the first typical Amer
ican, the first who comprehended
within Iiiuiself all the strengtii and
gentleness, all the majesty and grace
of this republic, Abraham Lincoln.
Ho was the sum of Puritan and Cav
alier, for in his ardent nature were
fused the virtues of both, and in the
depths of his great soul the faults of
both were lost. He was greater than
Puritan, greater than Cavalier, in
that he was American.”
But few persons in our section v.iil
concur with Mr. Grady in this eulogy
of Mr. Lincoln.
A few prefatory remarks are intend
ed to show how badly the Bouth was
treuted and how little her oppressors
are entitled to praise at our hunds.
S.
The above article, written by Col.
Smy tiie, was received after the urtiele
in our last issue, commendatory of
Mr. Grady’s address in New York,
(which was written by the local edi
tor) had been put in type, and ns the
two were antagonistic in some partic
ulars, it was deemed best to leavo it
out, for a time at least. But it is due
the senior editor that lii.s views should
be placed before our readers and
that is clone in the above article.
The local editor desires to say that
in commending highly the speech
which has met with general approba
tion both North and South, lie did
not expect to be held to endorse eve
ry word and sentence spoken by the
orator in the free and evidently un
written address made under oircutu-
stances of difficulty, excitement and
surely of some embarrassment. We
did, however, mean to commend it
as a remarkable production, well
suited to the occasion, and if he said
some things to please his audience,
which under the cold ordeal of de
liberate criticism, might seem to pan
der somewhat to the feelings and
tastes of his large and distinguished
body of hearers, we were disposed to
shut our eyes to such lapses from a
strictly Confederate view of the things
discussed and clap him on the shoul
der and say well done my friend, you
have represented your section with
patriotic faithfulness and ardor, anil
we give you praise and commenda
tion for (foing it so jvell. Besides, by
the concessions lie made, if they can
bo so called, lie got the ear and sym
pathy of his hearers and was enabled
to obtain their frank acceptance of
facts and views from a Confederate
stand point, which might tend to
draw the two sections nearer together
and which he oould not have accom
plished if he hail failed to placate such
portion of his heaters as wore steeped
in sectional bitterness. So, upon the
wliol#, we thought, and still think,
Mr. Grady is entitled to much com-
mondation and we would not blame
ujiv Georgian for shutting his eyes to
anything in his speecli which he did
not fully acquiesce in. R. E. H.
Tho Central Changes Hands.
The contest for the control of the
Central R. R. is over, and the Alexander
directors have been elected by a ma
jority even greater than they count
ed on a day or two ago. Gen. Alex
ander appears to have conducted tho
campaign with skill and to have won
a victory with comparative ease. One
of his party said a day or two ago
that the contest was between regulars
and volunteers, and the result showed
that he was about right.
There is no roason to doubt that
under the new management Central
railroad property will be made to
contribute to Savannah’s growth and
prosperity. A few weeks ago, when
rumors were plenty in New York.
Boston and here that the Central
was being sought to advance the in
terests of other roads, the Morning
News was inclined to believe that
such was Jfclie case, anil was ready at
once to m.. .e a fight for Savannah’s
interests, insurance, however, that
could not li questioned-being given
that the mn ^rs were without founda
tion, and t.fii-t the road, if those seek
ing the control of it were successful,
would assist, to a greater extent than
ever, in building up Savaunah, the
Morning News hail no further inter
est in advising stockholders whom they
ought to select to manage their prop
erty.
One of Gen. Alexander’s chief man
agers in his contest said, a day or two
ago, that if those who were trying to
get possession of the road were sue
cessful Savannah would have 100,
000 inhabitants inside of five years.
If that prediction proves to be true
even the strong friends of Capt. Raou.
and they are many, will have occa
sion to rejoice at the result of yester
day’s election.
1’here are none perhaps who will
deny that Capt. Raoul has given the
Central four years of honest, consci
entious and intelligent work. While
many may differ with him respecting
the wisdom of the policy of his man
agement, none will deny that lie has
made a most excellent chief executive
officer and that lie turns the magnifi
cent property over to his successor
in splendid order, with its earning
power increased trreatly beyond what
it was when he became President, its
value greatly enliansed and its steam
ers, rolling stock and road beds in
first class condition.
Gen. Alexander, who will be the
President under the new manage
ment, is well qualified to direct the
affairs of the Central Railroad Com
pany and manage its great and va
ried interests. Helius had a largo and
varied experience with railroads, and
can be depended upon to protect the
interests of stockholders while mak
ing the road contribute all that it
should to the building up of Savan
nah and tho developement of the State,,
A gentleman of liberal and progress
ive views, of great and varied attain
ments, of strict integrity and good
judgment, there is every reason for
thinking that the Central, under Gen.
Alexander s management, will not
only retain its proud position as the
great Railroad system of the South,
but will make that position even more
conspicuous than it is.—Savannah

Washington Letter*
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Jan.*8, 1887.
Editor Union-Ukcordnr:
The great annual levee at 'the
White House last Saturday passed off
pleasantly to both host and guests.
Legislators and ofAeiais, judiciary and
diplomats, soldiers and sailors, vete
rans and civilians, old age and youth,
wealth and poverty, fame and obscu
rity, aristocracy and democracy,
came, as usual, to pay respect and ex
press good wislies.to the Chief Magis
trate.
Without the Mansion the scene was
bleak anil slushy and cold, although
the weather predictions had done all
in their power to make it bright. But
within, everything was cheerful
enough. All the State apartments
were thrown open and were ablaze
with gas jets, and blooming with
flowers. One thousand trees and
lots of plants had been brought from
lie conservatory for decoration.
As the President was just recover
ing from another rheumatic attack
which had kept him prisoner for
more than a week, it was thought lie
would tiot be able to endurtf the whole
ordeal of three hours of handshaking,
but would be compelled to retire
from fatigue before tne reception was
over. His condition was the cause of
much solicitude on the part of Mrs.
Cleveland and the cabinet officers,
who wanted him to remain seated
during the intervals between the re
ception of the various bodies. He
would not yield to their wishes, how
ever, but stood up to his task bravely
until the last, though he was very
tired.
After the officials had passed
through the public was reoeived, and
visitors then oame in, from actual
count, at the rate of 300 to every ten
minutes. The throng soon beoame
dense inside the Mansion. The Blue
Room, in which the receiving party
stood, beoame suffocatingly warm
and the perspiration rolled from the
President’s face in streams. The oor
ridors were ohoked with people, and
before the police could induce them
to move into the East Room, some la
dies fainted.
This was the first time since 1881
when [a President’s wife lias appear
ed at a New Year’s reception in the
AV lute House, and the first in thirty
years since a Democratic President’s
wife has presided there, 1857 being
the last year that President and Mrs.
Pierce were at the Executive Mansion.
Consequently the pleasure expressed
at haviyg so young a lady as Mrs.
Cleveland there is not a matter of sur
prise. One member of the Corps Di
plomatique tells a story about anoth
er enthusiastic diplomat who was so
delighted with Mrs. Cleveland, that,
after shaking hands with her, he tes
tified his admiration by kissing the
inside of his own hand which had
touched hers.
The elderly Senator from Vermont,
who is, of course, a Republican, ex
pressed his approval of Mrs. Cleve
land in the following characteristic
way. Said he: “White there is a dif
ference of opinion os to those holding
some of the places the President has
filled by appointment, the vacaney he
had chosen to fill by the selection of
a lady to preside at the White House
is acceptable to every one.”
When this was repeated to the
President he said cordially “I am
glad they did not try to thwart me
in that.” “You did not ask the ad
vice and consent of the Senate in that

matter,” suggested a lady present.
“No, ineeed, 1 didn’t.” ejaculated Mr.
Cleveland, as if very thankful that
tiie Constitution of the United States
did not make it obligatory.
Congress will convene again to
morrow. Since it adjourned for tiie
holidays, General Logun’s death lias
made the Illinois Senatorship a sub
ject of interesting speculation. It is
regarded as a matter of considerable
political importance, for tiie reason
that whoever receives the complimen
tary vote of the Democratic Members
of tbefihinois Legislature, will natu
rally become a conspicuous figure of
his party two years lienee, in case
tho Democrats should then control
the Legislature.
It is too early to say what effect the
death of Gen. Logan will have upon
liis party, but the opinion is freely
expressed here that the Republican
organization of Illinois will be serious
ly broken by the loss of its trusted
leader, so much so as to render the
capture of the State by the Democrats,
at the next election, more than prob
able. By that time it will be thirty
years since an Illinois Democrat was
elected to the United States Senate
and tiie scramble for the place, with
the slightest chances of success, would
be unprecedented.
The Way to Happinew.
For the Union-Recorder.
The man who is out of debt and has
a little home and land, of his own,
and makes a .plenty upon which to
subsist, is a happy man in one sense
of the word ; provided lie will be con
tent therewith. I wquld lake his
chances for happiness and heaven in
preference to thA man who owns a
million. I should be afraid if I were
worth a million, I should want anoth
er million added 1 , to it; and that I
should become hard-hearted, inhos
pitable and uncharitable to tne poor.
The Master said “How hardly shall
they that have riohes enter tiie king
dom of heaven.” And, again, “I say
unto you, that it is easier for a camel
to go through the eye of a needle than
for a rich man to enter the kingdom
of heaven.”
Everybody wants to be happy.—
God wants every one to be happy.—
He hates none that he has made and,
therefore, He lias rendered the mise
ry and destruction of no man inevita
bly certain. It is only wh)*re His foj>
ivlug love is slighted and totally ami
nally rejected, that H,e executes his
vengeance upon tiie incorrigible sin
ner.
How, then are we to be happy? I
answer, that to 'happy, we.must
fie good and do good. Do you ask
how you are to be ,gpod and you a
sinner? It is true that you ure a sin-
rer; but you must renounce vour
sins. A complete abapaipiient o( them
it absolutely necessary before you can
enjoy substantial happiness. This
you can do, by the help of the Lord.-
The Lord says: “Let the wicked for
sake his way and the unrighteous man
his thoughts; and let him return un
to the Lord, and he will have mercy
upon him; and to bur God, for He
will abundantly pardon.” While you
live in your 6ins you are not on the
way to happiness. God oalls on you
to forsake that way, because it leads
you from Him, from happiness, from
heaven and from eternal life—down
to misery, to wretchedness and de
struction. The unrighteous man must
forsake his thoughts, fur they are-
evil. “God is not in all his thoughts.! 4
They are not right thoughts. They
are after the world and the tiiings-of
the world for the gratification, of.
fleshly desires.
Now, then, if you are willing and
ready to give up your sins, the next
thing to do, is to return unto the Lord,
like the Prodigal, and the promise is,
that lie will have mercy upon you.
Return, confess and plead for mercy ;
remembering that it is said, “He tliat
confesseth his sins and forsaketb
them, shall have mercy. Ami let him
come unto our God,” that iiu the ■
Christian’s God, “for Ho will abund4
antly pardon.” Goil has said, “Tho’
your sms be as scarlot, they shall be
white as snow ; though they be red
like crimson, they shall be as wool.”
Tiie pardon of your sins is tiie foun
dation blessing of salvation. That isi
the time when substantial happiness
commences, and this happiness is con
tinued on earth, and perpetuated in
heaven, by attending to and believ
ing every statement God lias made,,
and keeping all his commandments;
and his commandments are not griev
ous.
Some man who is old iu sin may
say, “Well, I might have been on tiie
road to happiness; but I started
wrong unil 1 have continued wroug,
my precious time has been wasted,
my life is a blank—worse than a blank,
a blot on creation’s book. I look book
on my past life, it is all dark; withia
me it is dark; anil in the futuro there
is blackness of darkness. I look above
and see tiie fuceof an angry God. When
1 consider liistremendous holinessand
justice and liis infinite righteousness,
I am filled with terror and tremble
and quake. The lingering, flickering
rays of the light of life will soon go
oi^t with me and I must plunge into
midnight darkness forever. No hope
for me now!” Stop, my friend, I point
you, if you are old, to the Lamb of
God which taketii away the sins of
