We are glad to lind a politician of
acknowledged good "judgment,”
like Gov. Brown, giving utterance to
such views as those contained in his
letter, which we copy to-day from
the Constitution. We need
hardly inform our readers that we
fully concur with Gov. Brown In the
opinion that only an overwhelming
expression of public sentiment
against it, backed by a determina
tion to maintain the rights of a ma
jority of the people, will deter tim
Radical official conspirators from
carrying out their programme.

Tuts Democrats have the Radicals
at a great disadvantage in the dis
cussion of tho question of the pow
ers of the two houses of Cougress in
tho counting of tho Electoral vote.
A Washington dispatch says that a
search of the Record has elicited the
fact that every prominent Republi
can in the Senate, including every
Republican member of the committee
of seven, hus committed himself pos
itively to tho doctrine that tho Presi
dent of tho Senate has no power
whatever oyer the Electoral votes
beyond tho reception and opening of
the envelopes; and almost every one
is on record ns declaring that Con
gress has the right to go behind the
returns.
Eliza I’lspiroN.—lt i s mentioned
elsewhere that tho sensation story
of Eliza Pinkston, colored, of Louis
iana, has been entirely exploded by
the investigation of the Congression
al Ouiumlttee. We find in tho pro
cuudings of that committee pub
lished in the Now Orleans Democrat
of Saturday, that after several wit
nesses had testified to the notorious
ly bad and untruthful character of
the said Eliza, Ueuator Howe, the
Republican Chairman of the Com
mittee, arose and suggested to Sena
tor Saulsbury that it was needless to
exatniae any more witnesses in the
case; that it was entirely
apparent that nothing Eliza Pink
ston had said or might say, was to bo
believed; that her statements could
accuse no man, and that it, was need
less to examine any more witnesses
to show her bad character and utter
unreliability. Senator Saulsbury,
however, insisted that the investiga
tion should go on.
A Washington dispatch to the New
York Journal of £ota merce u> s:
“The Treasury Department stands
committed on the money question.
Inasmuch as the present silver bill
would make silver a Jegal tender for
all amounts, it did uot favor the
scheme. As the Assistant Secretary
stated yesterday, theeffeot would be
to drive gold from the country, and
thus leave the Government without
the means to meet its obligations.”
To which the Memphis Avalanche
replies : The silver dollar was an un
limited legal tender from t he founda
tion of the Government until 1873. It
did not drive the gold away. The
two went hand in hand, and the
man whose pocket contained u silver
dollar knew that he had something
of the value or one hundred ceuts In
any country, with or without the
Government stamp. The five
franc pleco Is an unlimited legal
tender in France. Gold is not
driven out by its presence. On the
contrary, gold is constantly accumu
lating in France. It is abundant.
The banks are iillcd with it; and al
though tho date of resumption of
specie payment is yet far off, France
has already resumed in fact. Tho
Assistant Secretary’s argument re
minds us of the Secretary’s theory in
his late annual report, that although
both gold and silver were legal ten
tenders in .1809, when Congrass de
clared in favor of paying the bonds
in coin, the term "coin” meant only
gold coin. The theory that it meant
only silver coin would have been
equally strong, for nowhere does the
Coostution make any distinction
between them. Mr. Morrill is
trying to improve on the
Constitution, and his Assistant
is trying to improve on bis
cliief’s argument. It is Mr, Morril I’s
misfortune to be compelled to man
ufacture the fact on which his theory
Is based.
!’■ .. jßnw'y : o

Ou Christmas day the New York
Herald published a sensational letter
from Washipgton, the substance of
of which was that t.tio Radicals
were hgpefulof controlling tho ac
tion of t hi* Houso of Representatives
>n the question of counting the
Electoral votes and declaring tho ro
*ult, through the defection of a por
tion of tho Southern Democrats.
They estimated that they could jer
>uado23or 30 Southern Democrats
to acquiesce in tho oloctiou of Hayes
and to defeat any measures which
the other Democratic Congressmen
might wish to take to prevent the
c jsummatlon of such a fraud. Tho
letter admitted that thero could
be no counting on Mr. Lunar
or Mr. Hill to take stock
in such a movement, and it named
only two "Democratic” Congressmen
as favoring it. One was Senator Al
corn. of Mississippi, and tho other
was Representative Casey Young, of
Tennessee. Mr. Alcorn is not a Demo
crat, and the Democrats never count
ed on him to do anythiug to prevent
tho inauguration of Hayes, no mat
ter how wrongfully attempted. It Is,
therefore, unnecessary toawuit or ex
pect any denial from him, But Mr.
Young is a Democrat, and wo
are glad to see the authorita
tive statement that he has no
purt or lot in any such move
ment, und knows nothing of it. A
colleague of Mr. Young, who arrived
it Columbia, Toun., fruin Washing
ton, on Friday night, stated to tv cor
respondent of the Nashville Ameri
can, that immediately alter tho pub
lication of the Now York Herald about
inaugurating Hayes with Southern
votes, he usked Young about his
uuoic appearing in that article us one
'of/jtho buek-sluliug Southern mem
bers, Mr. Young replied thut the
article was a fabrication; that he and
every, other Southern Democratic
member would be true to their peo
ple and il mi in their support of Til
don uml Hendricks.
It is to be regretted thut Democrats
can anywhere be found so ready to
give a listening ear even to such in
jurious and uufounded reports about
the political integrity of Southern
Congressmen. It only strengthens
and encourages the euerny to lind
that uuy of us can bo made to be
lieve such reports. They ure em
boldened to look and work for their
defection when they find that we be
lieve tlieir defection possible. We (Jo
uot believe that uuy Southern Dem
ocratic Congressman has ever enter
tained a thought of deserting Tildou
and Hendricks so long as the North
ern portion of the party will stand
with them in support of their claim
to the Presidency and Vice Presi
dency.
DKATII OF KEY. C. W. IIOWASUI.
The deat h of Itov. Charles Wallace
Howard is noticed elsewhere. He
was one of thg best aud most talented
men of tho State, though ho did not
make so much "noise in the world”
as politicians of less intellect aud
less real service to their fellow-men.
Asa speaker he was verj ready, ef
fective, and for pathos rightfully ap
plied ho had perhaps no superior in
the State. Ho was also a man of ex
tensive information, ot which he
often made most useful practical ap
plication. Georgia loses a noble
uml much-to-be regretted citizen by
his death.
Wo think that to liov. C. W. How-;
an 1 is duo tho credit of tho origina
tion of the project of our oommeuced
North und South Railroad.He wus the
first man whom we ever heard speak
on the subject. It was during the
Press Excursion engineered by Col.
Holburt (in 18G3, we believe.) He
explained to us. with much force and
with u particularity winch showed
that he had given the subject .much
thought, the advantages of such u
roud to Columbus. Ilis propo
sition then was tho building oi a
railroad from Columbus to Kingston,
via LaGrange.to connect at Kingston
with the State Hoad and the Rome
Railroad. He estimated the distance
at about 115 miles, Mr. Howard sug
gested to us the advocacy of such a
road when we returned to Columbus,
and we did at that time explain his
project and urge its advantages
through the Enquirer, giving due
credit., we believe, to Mr. Howard as
tho originator of tho scheme. When
the road is continued Rev. C. W.
Howard’s connection with its ineipi,
eney should be recognized in the
name or one of its engines or stations.
Up to Thursday lust the Federal
Treasury imd disbursed in silver coin
$25,511,508.38, of which $15,305,412.62
was for the redemption of fractional
currency, and $10,115,926.70 was silver
t>aid in lieu of notes and checks. The
amount) aid by tho Assistant Treas
urer in New York is $7,596,G07; in
Boston, $3,537,030; in Philadelphia,
$3,164,430; iu St. Louis, $1,475,082; in

Explosion of the Pinkston Story.
Tin* Pinkston story, about which so
much has been said, has been prick
ed, and Eliza's tale turns out to be
simply a tissue of falsehoods. Wit
ness alter witness testified before Mc-
Mahon's sub-eoinmiltee here to-day
that her character was that of a com
mon woman, and that she was not to
be believed under oaih. Some six
witnesses appeared, who showed con
clusively that she murdered an old
negro woman named Robb, in More
house parish, and poisoned a child
out ot revenge to its ivirents by giv
ing it a dose of morphine. The sub
committee have so thoroughly ex
ploded her whole story that no ’more
evidence will be taken.on that sub
ject.— Special to Cin. Enq.
—Mr. A. Berend, a merchant of Macon
attempted to commit suicide on Satur
day, He placed a pistol against his breast
and tired, but tho ball took a range that
did not reach his heart. His condition is
Critical, however. No cause for tho net is
given by the Telegraph, but it mentions

and he married again last Tuesday.
Uratb of an KiuJnrnt (Jrorjslnn.
The Rev. Charles Wallace Howard,
formerly of Bartow, died on Christ
mas morning at his mountain home
in Wulker county, from an attack of
cold and fever, lio was an ornament
to the pulpit until, niter a long pe
liod of usefulness bo was compelled
by fullingheulth to übuudon the min
istry. Retiring to a farm in Chero
kee Georgia, he devoted his gifted
mind and wide social iulluenee lo
tho development of that section or
the State. Although bitterly opposed
io secession, notwithstanding his
feeble health, be took an active pait
in tho Confederate struggle, and
his gallantry in the Held was only
equalled by tho fervor with which
be successfully appealed to the
public for funds for the Wayside
Homes for soldiers. Of an active,
enterprising spirit, much of his time
since ibe the war was devoted to
works of practicul utility and in ad
vocating such mod ill cations of our
agricultural and social systems as
are demanded by our new circum
stances. While doing this he enter
tained an abiding confidence that
tho manhood and honor of the South
would be unsubdued, nay, would be
stimulated and strengthened iu time
by the trying ordeal through which
tier people had been fated to pass.
He was an advanced thinker, and
his Ideas, soattered widely through
the State, liave taken root and are
bearing fruit through tho minds of
others.
Mr. Howard was a chaste and pol
ished speaker—one who would liave
graced the American Senate iu its
better days. His patriotism was sin
gularly strong and unselfish, and
his devotion to his native State never
wearied.
Although he had outlived most of
his early associates ou the coast, ne
never abated Ids attachment for Ids
birthplace, Savannah, and exerted
Ids influence in our behalf in Bid
lock’s time when our city govern
ment, was threatened with military
interference. He leaves one son in
this city and a large family iu CUero
kee Georgia.— Sav. News,
Chief Justice Waite's Pusltlan.
Since tho result of the Presidential
election became a matter of doubt,
nothing having a more Important
bearing upon the question than the
lolloping— from the Washington
correspondence of the PuiladelpUia
runes—has been published :
The most significant declaration is
that of Chief Justice Waite, whose
opinions are not concealed on the
issue,alt hough he has expressed them
with the prudence that becomes ids
position. He is the personal and
political friend and neighbor of
Gov. Hayes, and all ids sympathies
are naturally with the Republican
candidate; but he has declared that
the result must depend upon the
facts in the disputed States, and that
t he present aspect of the controversy
points very strongly to the election
and proper iuuuguratiiori of Tilden.
It is now well understood iti political
circles tiere that, the Supreme Court
cannot be trusted to declare Hayes
elected, strongly Republican as it is;
and this development hns done much
to demoralize the already weak Mor
too-Sherman leadership. Gen. But
ler’s visit here lias also been a damp
er to the Administration. He refuses
to stand up to tire Louisiana and
Florida returns, and proposes to re
mand the election back to the people;
but all concede that in anew election
Tilden would sweep tho country like
a whirlwind, because of the very gen
eral conviction that ho was honestly
elected in November.

In the space of six years wo have
advanced from a gun of 35 tons to
one of 80 tons. The still bigger gun,
proposed eleven years ago, remains
still in tlie rear, but must assuredly
come to the front. That which lias
been repeatedly predicted in these
columns has come to pass. A foreign
power has availed itself of that
which we have failed to utiliz-.*. The
principle which has governed the
British armaments has been this-to
use the least instrument that would
answer the purpose. There has been
an uppearanco of economy iu this
practice, und it has been persistently
acted upon for a considerable num
ber of years. A little time hack a
different principle was adopted by
the Italian Government. It was
known that the British Government
had determined to take a step consid
erably in advance of the 35-ton and
38 ton guns. Italy resolved that
whatever England might do, she
would do something more. In mak
ing this resolution her reliance was
uot placed on her own means, but
on the manufacturing und sci
entific resources of a great English
firm—that of Sir W. Armstrong &
Go., whose magnificent establish
ment at Elswick is a wonderful ex
ample of private enterprise, Relying
on the great gun factory onthe banks
of the Tyne, the Italian government
paused to see what weight of gun
was to bo made at Woolwich. Ilad
the British govern meat decided on a
gun of l(K) tons, Italy would h ive
asked Elswick for a gun of at least
I'M tens, and it the British govern
ment had adopted a yet higher stand
ard, Italy would still have aimed at
pre-eminence. Why such a policy
should have been adopted we do not
pretend to say, hut of Its existence
there can be no doubt. The result is
now before us. There is one thing,
perhaps, in which Italy tins not alto
gether excelled us, or. if she has, tire
difference is not. imu-h in her favor.
While she has been firing at targets
with 22 inches of iron, we have been
building up one with 32 inches. It. is
true, tho Italian targets consist, of
only ono or two plates, while the
Shoeburyness target lias the iron in
four plates. Possibly there is not
much difference in the resisting pow
er of the two targets, but the ques
tion is not one eusiiy settled with
our present data.

A member of the Cabinet said to
your correspondent, to-day:
“Looki&K at the future of the Re
publican party. Idoiiot really believe
thut it will be for its ultimate advan
tage that It should continue in power
under Air. Hayes. Ido not mean to say
that Mr. Hayes has not been elected,
but the suspicion of a non-election
attaches to him and will attach to
the Republican party during the next
four years. In my opinion‘the severest
blow' that we could deal the Demo
cratic party at. the present time
won Id be to surrender our position
and allow Mr. Tilden to be inaugura
ted. The position then would he
this: He would have the House; the
Republican party would have the
Senate, so that no very 'great harm
could bo done. The laws, I mean
the organic laws growing out of the
amendments to the constitution and
the reconstruction policy could not
be changed, and his administration
would -have toencounter the question
of our financial, commercial and in
dustrial depression and provide a
remedy. This, no administration
coud do, because our present unfort
unate condition is due to causes over
which administrations have little or
no control.”
