UNION & RECORDER.
Millhdgkvillk, March 20, 1887.
Political Par tie*.
* We have, during the past few
years, referred to the obligations of
the members of political parties, but
the views taken and expressed did
not elucidate our ideas upon all the
phases of party structure including
the practical and indefeasible rights
of its members, lu the United (States,
as in England, Germany, France, and
in all countries not governed by the
ipse dixit of an absolute Monarch,
whose sole will is the law of the land,
the people are divided in opinion up
on tne great questions of State and
become divided into parties upon
them. But in what we have to say
we will confine our remarks to the
United States, where the people are
supposed to express their opinions,
for convenience only, through repre
sentatives, elected by them in their
respective districts, or States, as the
case may be; and we may at once say
that all power exists in the people,
and is exerted by their will, as ex
pressed by their votes at the polls.
From the origin of the government,
they have elected representatives con
sisting of a Senate and House, and a
a Governor for each State, of United
States Senators and Representatives
of each State, for a general govern
ment, for all. and a President to pre
side over all for the general good.—
Nothing is more reasonable than that
there should be divisions of sentiment
among the people as to the best meas
ures to be adopted for the general
good of all the people of the separate
States, and all the people of the Uni
ted States. These differences of opin
ion cause the formation of parties,
pledged to sustain one set of princi
ples and measures, or an opposing set
of principles and measures, professed
ly, by each, to promote the general
good. Thus we have, necessarily,
two great opposing forces, called at
the present time the Democratic and
Republican parties. Both spring from
the people, and each has it represen
tatives in the separate States, so that
in every State, there is a Democratic
party and a Republican party.
From the origin of the Union the
terms of official station were limited to
short periods, doubtless, caused by
tlie universal sentiment embodied
in the declaration of Independence,
that liberty is the price of eternal vig-
ilence. To maintain liberty, in its
foil strength and purity, influenced
our patriotic ancestors to limit the
reins of power to short periods, ho
that if any entrusted with it should
he unfaithful to the trust confided to
them they might be quickly removed
and better and more faithful men put
in their places.
While the people ought to govern,
we hesitate not, to say, that, in a
large majority of cases, they do not
govern and do not understand the
principles adopted in their name, by
which they are governed. A largo
majority of the people, both North
and South, have only a partial con
ception of the cunningly devised tariff
by which they are heavily taxed for
tlie special benefit of the manufactur
ers. And the same may be said as to
their knowledge of other important
measures adopted by their represen
tatives. A majority of the people, if
asked why are you a Republican?
could not give a definite or satisfac
tory answer; not for want of capaci
ty, but because they do not exert the
mental power that they possess.
Many are Democrats because they
were raised in that faith, aud for the
same reason many are Republicans.
But on both sides they are bornealong
by their confidence in the representa
tives of their districts, some by the
republican leaders and some by the
Democratic leaders.
We are led to a plain style of reas
oning by the fact that there are dif
ferences’ in the same party. One lead
er, as he is called in the Democratic
ranks, tells the Democrats for in
stance, that the protective tariff is
productive of the general good; an
other leader in the same ranks tells
them that, it is a great evil and wrong.
The democrats should follow neither
blind-folded; they should study the
question for themselves, and go on
the side which investigation satisfies I
them is the right one. This is not a
difficult task if one will dilligentlv |
seek the truth. It is easy to procure j
the means-of information. No man I
is bound to go blind-folded with eitli- j
er party. If any democrat is in doubt
about the question he can easily he
supplied with all needed sources of
information, but if be don’t want
them and won't investigate it it is his
own fault if lie follows the ranks of
error and suffers by it. Every repre
sentative of the people ought to ex
ert himself to keep his constituents
fully supplied witli whatever may he
necessary to keep them enlightened
upon questions which effect their inter
ests for good or evil.
There ure three classes in our coun
try whose duty it is, especially, to
protect the public weal; one is the
people, another their representatives,
and another the President; and grave
responsibilities rebt upon each. The
people should select able, faithful and
honest representatives. The latter
should make the prosperity of the
people their constant desire, and the
President, whether a Democrat or a
Republican, should exert his full pow
er to sustain and enforce the principles
of the’eonstitution as the chief source
of the national prosperity. At tlie
polls it should be the earnest desire of
the people to select representatives
and a President to accomplish this
great result. We sustain the Demo
cratic party because we have an abid
ing faith in its tendency to sustain
the principles of the constitution
framed liy our revolutionary fathers.
No professed member of a party lias
a right to thwart, the action of his
party by voting witli the opposite
party. When he does that lie ab
solves himself from obligation to his
party and has no right to claim its
support or protection, lie not only
lessens but repudiates representative
responsibility, and cannot be relied
on in the great political contests of
the parties. His conduct eats at the
(lore of his party, weakens it at its
very altars, conflicts with its rights
and’ sullies his individual honor and
fidelity. 11c violates the confidence
reposed in him and is more deeply
guilty if as a renegade he defeats his
party in the hour of deadly contest.
Nor can lie complain if lie is discard
ed by the faithful and the brave. It
would he had enough to withdraw
and let the enemy triumph hut there
can be no redemption when his party-
falls by hfs fratricidal blows. The
lesson ’is, fidelity to party in its hal
lowed and essential principles or with
drawal. There is no intermediate
course that can be sanctioned by lion
or or conscience.
The Irish Cause.
The English government Is determined
to push the cuerolou bill and leave the
Irish no hope of relief from the cruel
methods to which they have been subject
ed for so many long years; Indeed the new
crimes bill, It Is stated, Instead of provld
Ing for the appointment of a special jury
to consist of members not likely to be in
timidated as at first drafted, now propose
to give prisonore charged with Bpecial of
fences, tho option of a jury trial at New
gate or by the commission of Judges in
Ireland. An amendment lias boen propos
ed by Mr. Morley which* is very gratify
ing to Mr. Gladstone and tho l*arnellites.
It was drafted by Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Mor
ley and Mr. Parnell. It Is doubtful wheth
er they can succeed In d"foatlng the plan
of the Ministry, which, we notice Is ap
proved by Lord Ilartlngton, who, It Is
stated will be able to carry with him the
bulk of Ills followers. Mr. Gladstone will
speak and oppose the government's
erlmes-blll with all the power of his great
ability and unrivalled eloquence.
It Is remarkable, almost beyond prece
dent, that England, the land of Magna
Charta, the originator of trial by jury, pro
fessing to have the best government upon
earth, should have been, for centuries, the
cruel oppressor of the Irish people. Since
tho conquest of Ireland, the English gov
ernment has ruled them by the most np-
presslve laws, the bayonet and the gibbet.
Oppressive, unjust laws, barbarous elo
cutions, and tyranny in every shape, has
characterized tho government of tho peo
ple of Ireland under English rule, it is
not strange that tho Irish so inhumanly
opposed, should have been guilty of
crimes, which under good government,
would never have occurred. They origina
ted In cruel oppression, and wore charged
to thoir natural foiocity. In mental qual
ities, in characteristics of ralnd, In all ths
qualities which adorn heart and intellect,
the Irish are fully the equals of the Eng
lish. Under oppression and robbery, to
which they arc subjected, If experienced
by tho English, the latter would present
no bettor figure In the eyes of the world.
In poetry and piose, In statesmanship and
eloquence, in the glories of peace and war
and in all the refinements or social life,
the Irish are fully the equals of the Eng
lish. It Is fortunate for tho Irish that they
have such a counsellor aud leader as Mr.
Gladstone. There is no other man hi
England possessing the same strength
and wide spread Influence, to whom the
Irish could look for dollverenoe, and, now,
at tho ago of 77 he may sink into his grave
without advancing thorn to tho cherished
goal of their hopes. Wo hope with the
Irish at their homos in tho old green isle,
in America and wherever their lot is cast!
that Mr. Gladstone may live long enough
fo free them from England’s despotism In
tho safe and honorable control of their
own affairs. Such will be tho end of her
troubles if political truth is not a chimera,
or political science a deceitful dream.

BRECKENRIDGE AND BENJAMIN.
How the Two Men Made Their Es
cape from the Country.
In tho summer of 1863 I mot Gen. lhvek-
enrldge In Richmond, and one Sunday
afternoon wo were sitting alone In trout
of the Ballurd hotel. I asked him it not
unpleasant, It would be gratifying to have
him give an account or Ida escape after the
downfall of the Uoulndaracy, and how It
occuried that Mr. Benjamin was separa
ted from him. Re replied that he would
cheerfully do so, and said that after follow
ing Mr. Davis some distanso on the retreat
ho became satlsliod that Mr. Davis had se
lected the most dangerous route, and to
continue under his guidance, which he
persisted in, capture would be certain and
inevitable. "I deckled to pursue a differ
ent courso, and, taking with mo some
trusty mnn and aa fow as possible, left
Mr. Davis and his escort, aud struck off
for tho Florida coast. Boon afterwaid
Mr. Davis, as I predicted, was captured, I
met with some soldiers of the Federal
army. Thay did not recognize me, and
nothing specially occurred to cause me
to apprehend my arrest or safety. 1 pass
ed a squad of them in a gallop, but no de
monstration was made against me, nor did
they seem to ba aware who I was.' 1
He then said : “Having been familiar In
early lire to hunt and travel In ths night In
Kentucky, I recalled the experience of my
youth, and adapted myseff to change of
circumstances, traveling incognito and
with a fow faithful and fearless followers.
In a short time, with nothing specially
perilous during the journey, wo readied
tlie coast In safety. Wo then procured a
small boat and a supply of provisions,
which were easily obtatnod. as I was sup-
idled with some gold, anu with a small
pocket compass which I always carried
with mo, and with J. Taylor Wood and
two others In an open boat we started for
the coast of Cuba. In two days and three
nights of the most delightful and propi
tious weather we landed within one mile of
tho island, our only guide being my pocket
compass. Capt. Wood fell overboard dur
ing the voyage, but was soon hauled in,
and was not tho least disconcerted or
alarmed. He was one of the bravest of
men. After reaching Cuba I found friends
and accommodations; remained there a
brief time and then went to Paris and back
eventually to Canada. The balance you
are no doubt familiar with.’’
"Where was Mr. Benjamin?” I asked.
“He remained with me only a day after
leaving Mr. Davis. He was a remrrkable
man, could adapt himself to any society or
circumstances; could speak French, Ger
man and other languages fluently. Ho
travelled through the country as a Jew
merchant and sailed from Charleston, so I
learned.”
I made a memorandum of this conver
sation at the time and this is a verbatim
report.
Gen. Breckenrldge was exceedingly
pleasant and courteous during the conver
sation, but Increasing age, disappointed
hopes and his vvrled experience's In life

DEATH OF JUDGE EZZARD.
One of Atlanta's Oldest Citizens
Passes Away.
At about 3:30 yesterday afternoon
occurred the death of Judge Win, L.
Ezzard, at the residence of his son,
Win. 1’. Ezzard, No 0(1 North Forsyth
street. The announcement of his
demise will create no surprise, from
the fact that it was known for several
days that dentil was very near. Judge
Ezzard was 80 years of age, and had
been a resident of Atlanta for the
past thirty-seven years, coming here
in 1850. He was n man of great force
of character, strictly upright in all of
his dealings and possessing the entire
confidence and highest respect of all
who knew him. He was a lawyer by
profession, and in the forties served
upon the Superior bench of Coweta
circuit. As a jurist, and especially as
an advocate, he stood high at tlie
bar, while liis rulings from the bench
were characterized by a spirit of jus
tice, tempered with mercy.
In liis private life there' wasnothing
in Judge Ezzard but what command
ed respect. He was a consistent Chris
tian from his youth, and an earnest
and active member of tlie Methodist
church.—Atlanta Journal 20th.

Mr. Beecher’s farm at Peekskill is
advertised for sale. This was the fa
vorite residence of the groat preach
er, and, besides its regular crops it
furnished him many incidents with
which ho embellished his public ad
dresses. Somebody once asked Mr.
Beecher why he deemed it necessary
to impose upon himself tho task of
going about the country lecturing, so
long as he had a salary of $20,000 as
pastor of Plymouth church. “Ah”
was Mr. Beecher’s response, “didn’t
you know that I was farming it up in
Peekskill? That costs money.” Fan-
eyjfarmeis will appreciate the joke,
least that is what th
Bishop’s mule yard
said yesterilay.
“Now, look, a-here,” said lie, “kin
you see ennything funny 'bout them
ere meules? I leave it to ysurself;
you're a reasonable critter.”
The mules certainly did look solemn
and dignified, with one exception,
and he, she, or it, in playful sport,
was trying to kick the top rail off the
fence.
“There’s fifty o’ them line critters
here, sir, an’ ef you wants to buy a
good, sound, cornfed meule from
Kentuckey, why, here’s yer chance.
Who buys’em? Everybody. Meules
is gittin’s common es huckleberries in
tiie Shonguin Mountains. An’ what's
more, they’m 10-cents-on-every-dollar-
cheaper’n horses. We sell’em mostly
to oanallers. Why, there's 5,000
meules on the Erie Canal, an’ more
canallers to hear from. They know
what meules in, them canallers.”
“What advantages has the mule
over the horse?”
“Well, in the fust place, the meule
never dies. Did you ever see a dead
meule? No! I thought so. They
never breaks their legs goin’ in an’
out of a canal boat, like a horse. You
never have to clean ’em. They jist
go out in tlie road an’ roll in the sand,
an’ there they are, says you, cleaner’n
a whistle. 'Sides that, they hain’t all
the time gitting’ newmonia an’ rew-
maticB, like a horse. There’s a 40-
year-old meule in that stall. He used
to help drag around an army wagon.
Oh, yes; he’s smelt gunpowder. Sold
him twenty-eight year ago to a farmer
out in Sussex county. Comes back
here playful as a kitten, an’ waitin’,
jist fairly achin’ for some farmer to
bay him so he can do a little side-hill
ploughin’ jist fer amusement. He’s
good fer thirty year' more afore he’ll
be ready fer the glue pot.”
“I thought you said just now that a
mule never dies?”
“Oh, well, of course, ‘that’s iiger-
atively speakin’, as the preacher says.
In course meules dies once in a while.
bein’ (lit*.
Methusalum. Didn’t
he die? I should remark he did, an’
was gathered to liis four fathers.
Wonder of they had meules in them
days. No! Jackasses! Well, I don’t
go back on jackasses. They’m gooil
enough in Jerusalum. But they
hain’t big enough to pull a boss car,
or drag around a milk wagon, or pull
a canal boat. But they’m relations of
meules. Oh, yes; first cousin.”
During this conversation an o'd
black mule, with drooping tail ami
an air of dejection, had been edging
around. Judging from his appear
ance, along career of useful service,
in which he had patiently endured
tho cursings and clubs of malignant
humanity, had taken the agility from
liis legs and the vigor from his bray.
Still, the mule keeper suggested that
lie be given a little more room. As
there was plenty of space in the yard,
twenty feet more was allotted to the
long-eared veteran, and the narrator
resumed his monologue:
“ 'Sposo ye know that ef ye tie a
brick to a ineule’s tail he can’t bray.
Fact, though, all tlie same. He’ll open
liis mouth an’ heave hisself inside an’
wheeze like, but he can’t sing them
loud songs o' his’n. Nixv. Mebbe ye
think meules can’t sing! Hey? No.
