AXJO-USTA. GJ-A.
SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 5, 1868.
A CONTRAST.
Even the Radical correspondents at Wash
ingfcou urc forced to adrnit th&t .*i very pftiu*
ful contrast is exhibited between the Mana
gers of Impeachment and the President's
counsel. So far as we have had the oppor
tunity of learning from many exchanges,
there lias been no word of disparagement
uttered or written against the mental cali
ber, dignified bearing, private worth and
unexceptionable temper of the latter. Jhe
former, however, do not escape the severest
animadversion ; while the most caustic and
vitriolic criticisms upon them emanate from
those who are in close political accord.
The realm of the picturesque is ransacked
for quaint and ridiculous illustration, and
new fountains of bitterness arc opened to
drench the ill-omened committee whose
prime duty is to dethrone the Executive
through the shams ol Jaw, subvert the gov
ernment under pretence of loyally, and per
form the funeral service of the republic in
sniveling cant of philanthropy. Even the
Radical correspondents, we say, are forced
to admit the immense superiority of the
President’s champions, and, in yielding this
reluctant tribute, they, for very mortifica
tion, cannot forego the opportunity of lam
pooning the cock-eye and improbity ot
Butler, the dramatic malignity of
Stevens, the unpleasant connection of
Bingham with the murder of Mrs. Surratt,
the sharp, sly practice of Wilson, whose
duplicity muzzles a decrepicl Supreme
Court, and the riotous blackguardism
of Loo ax. We give some Radical speci
rocusj’of this last named worthy. “ Mack,”
of the Cincinnati Commercial writes :
“The West is familiar with Gen. Logan and
Ills style ol oratory, aud the people may judge
liow lie will figure as one oi the seven wise of
America. For myself, L confess that 1 never
saw the General iu a set speech that I was not
reminded of certain six-penny prints of the bat
tles of the late war—in-*, liich apurple cannon
is represented as belching forth three or lour
inches of red paint, which wiil do either for
blood or lire, according to the purchaser’s
fancy. As that picture is to true art so is Lo
gau’s speech to true oratory. II there is any
fustaiu or bombast wanted on the trial,
the General will furnish it —but law or rea
son uot a word, lie is neither a reasoning
man nor a lawing man. lie would come best
into play if it should so happen that A. .J. could
be convicted by the sheer force of great ex
pectorations. Except upon the line carpet of
the Senate chamber, I can’t see how John can
make his mark in au impeachment trial.”
If it be objected that the Commercial is but
a mild exponent of the party of progress,
the intensity of the Gazette can not lie ques
tioned. “ Agate,” a more violent extremist
than Logan himself, thus sketches for his
paper:
“ The debate that follows is told already to
the natiou by the wires that are clicking in the
lobby behind us. It need only be said, there
fore, of Logan, who now rises with his hands
thrust into his pantaloons pockets, to resist the
application of couusel for delay, that at first he
hesitates and repeats himself, that throughout
he does wanton violence to the English lan
guage, that his manner, at first, constrained,
presently becomes boisterous, and that lie
ends, by shouting, in a voice like that ot the
hulls of Baslnm, a stump speech to the gal
leries. Everybody is intensely uncomfortable,
save the President's counsel. There simple
wonder seems for a little to prevail; then
Stauberv politely b aids bis head to bide his
smiles. Curtis holds himself back, as if it
were only with difficulty t ii.it lie could restrain
himself, and Evarts curiously watches the per
formance. At its close he rises to reply.
■While Logan has been ranting, a chatter of
whisperers lias sprung up. Evarffs first
ringing sentence cuts through ihis murmur,
and the galleries are Mill in an instant.”
The New England demagogues who,
though professing an undying hatred of
every thing British, are but slavish copy
ists of nil that is evil in British history,
have made but a poor botch of imitating
the trial of YVakuen Hastings, as far as
the impeaoliers are concerned. Wonder
has been expressed that, such a despicable
fellow as Logan should have a conspicuous
place in the picture. To the outside world
it is perfectly inexplicable. Not so, how
ever, to those who suspect a profound mo
tive in all Radical manoeuvring. Nothing
that Logan represents iu the way ol' intel
lect lias procured for him this prominent
position. It is not John A. Logan, Con
gressman, who is allowed to appear before
the Senatorial Court, to I lie shame of his
colleagues and disgust ot every honest soul,
hut it is John A. Logan, ( ommandcr of the
iJrand Army of the Republic. This is the
■view taken, and we think correctly, by
George D. Prentice. Those who engage
in an act of revolution may need a revolu
tionist and liis mymidons to back them at
the final catastrophe. Hence, he is tole
rated for what lie may be and forgiven for
what he is.
Macaulay, in describing impeachment,
in England, lias these memorable words:
“ In truth, it is impossible to deny that im
peachment, though it is a flue ceremony, and
though it may have been useiul in the seven
teenth century, (two hundred years ago,) is not
n proceeding £rom which much good can now
he expected. Whatever confidence may be
placed in the. decisions of the peers on an ap
peal arising out of ordinary litigation, it is cer
tain that no man lias the least confidence in
their impartiality when a great public function
ary, charged with a groat State crime, is
brought to llie bar. They are all politicians."
Had he been writing of the events of the
tlay he could not have been more explicit.
Whatever it may have been in England, it
js not a “tine ceremony” in this"shoddy
New Nation. It is an aljominabie travesty
of justice, which may terminate in an ap
peal to the “ Grand Army of the Republic,”
but, at present, is fitly regarded as a feeble
rival to the vulgar pasquinades of Dan
Rice and his fellow mountebanks. The
only redeeming feature is to be found in the
Presidential counsel; and this is painful,
tinder the shocking cireumstaitces of con
trast, and the utter impotence of great
gifts, noble manhood and devoted patriot
to s umthe torrent of special pleading
and bar-room declamation which issues
from those whose lives, from the showing
of their own historians, are tainted with
robbery, treason, deceit, judicial murder
pud revolution. Pan Rice and his show
will, no doubt, pass away in laughter.
There may be a different finale when the
clown Logan announces “positively the
last performance of Andrew Johnson !'
An “ Alabama Statesman.”—Kellogg,
who was not elected to Congress in the
Mobile District, but holds fast in conse
quence of Spaulding’s Prepared Glue, is thus
pictured :
“Hi is an active Radical—was first elected to
Congress on the temperance hobby—drew bis
per diem and mileage punctually—got a con
tract for raising and equipping two cavalry re
giments from Michigan, in the early stage of
the war, made bis pile and turned up in Mobile,
alter it was captured, as an officer of the re
venue.”
Now, he is the “ distinguished gentleman
from Alabama,” just as Bradley is the
“distinguished gentleman from Georgia.”
And yet, there are men born in the South —
white men—who abet such villains and will
vote to sustain them. Which is the more
leprous ?
EIiuSRLITY. —The Georgia mongrels
charge upon Judge Irwin that he is ineli
gible, because he once acted in place of an
absent District Attorney of the Confederate
States, albeit no oath was taken or money
received. The Atlanta Opinion retorts upon
Bullock that, as superintendent of the
Military Telegraph, under direct orders
from the War' office at Richmond, he,
Rufus B. Bullock, took an oath to support
the Constitution of the permanent Confderate
Government!
That is a brick-bat between the bullock’s
eyes, and he can only recover from it a
la Blodgett, or by giving assurance to his
Washington masters that he used his office
to betray the South. In cither event, will
he not be a “ demned foiuc” governor of
Georgia t
Only a Little Joke. —The Yankees al
ways laughed at “ chivalry.” Not having
any such virtue themselves, the best conso
lation was to deride the keen point of honor
in others. Here is a sample of the North
ern article. Speaking of Daniel Drew,
the famous Erie Railroad Manager, a cor
respondent relates the following anecdote:
“ Some time ago a gentleman said of him,
‘ Now, if Drew told the truth to-day, he lied
last week, aud if he told the truth last week, he
lied to-day. My opinion is that he lied both
times.’ This was repeated to Drew, who
laughingly remarked, ‘Ah! what a fellow that
is ; he will have his little joke.’ ”
Biblical Lore. —Rev. Mr. Beecher’s
mistake, in supposing that Our Lord’s re
surrection took place on Good Friday, has
been matched by a biblical bull of the irre
verent Beast Butler. Quoth the Beast, in
Ills opening speech on impeachment:
“ Even Ilorton raised His hands to the Prince
of Peace, praying in the lat-guage of Stephen
the martyr, “forgive them, for they know not
what they do.”
Whereupon Thad Stevens snorted and
called his profane friend to order, for hav
ing “just enough of learning to misquote.”
Southern Statesmen. —Cromwell, a
third-rate negro barber, from St. Paul,
Minnesota, has been making laws for
Louisiana. Jle is the Bradley of the con
cern. This is a sample of the age of pro
gress. Disgusting as it is, the idea of white
negroes abetting these black vagabonds is
still more nauseating.
The New Slogan. —The New York Tri
bune, rejoicing iu the overthrow of the
“ league with deatli and covenant with
hell,” issues Ibis war-cry for Ihe future:
“ Suffrage for both races or servitude for one !'"
Which, being interpreted, means: If the
w lutes of the North and South refuse to en
franchise .Coffee, the friends of Coffee
will enslave the To
ward this end the Congress is boldly push
ing, and yet the patriots of the Storth look
up at the moon and wait for reaction*
Patience. —When the late Skowlieganlte
Richardson was killed by one of the trooly
loil, the Radical howl was a subdued one
and it, lias died away to the faintest whis
per. Now, on the mere suspicion of Ash
burn's murder having,been perpetrated
by “ rebels,” the howls are as long as that
of 11m “ loop wolf on Onafaska’s shore.”
Suppose, as is not improbable, this should
prove a second Richardson allair, a trooly
loil target match—would not the wolfs
yelp sink to a tom-tit’s%iirrup ?
Equestrian.— Judge Irwin is proclaim
ed ineligible because he furnished a horse
for Confederate service. Did not Bullock,
as agent of the “Southern,” so-called, Ex
press Company, transport many thousands
of horses for the use of the same service ?
We do not perceive how Bullock can
evade this, without the further plea that lie
furnished information to the Yankees while
furnishing horses to the South.
Grant Pere et Fils.—Grant, the son
lias peremptorily slapped the oration trap of
Grant, the father. Whereat, the venerable
sire waxes exceeding wroth ancl declares:
“ Wasiiuurne may own Ulyss but, d—d
if he owns me.” Nevertheless, the jackass
stories of the old man have suddenly dis
appeared from Bonner’s Ledger.
Beast Butler who, at Charleston in 1860, voted
for Mr. Jefferson Davis iu the National Con
vention, forty or fifty times as the Democratic
nominee tor the Presidency, and wlio helped to
break up the party because it would not make
that nomination, is now the great leader.of the
Republican party lii the House of Representa
tives, and leads the impeacbers. He has lately
written a letter to a gentleman in Massachu
setts, in which he says :
“ I am so accustomed to have my political
views accepted by my party and the country
from eight to eighteen mouths after date, that
premature clamor about them is but little an
noyance.
“ 1 advocated the emancipation of the ne
groes in August, 1861. They began to be
emancipated in September, 1863, and were
finally proclaimed so in January, 1861?. I
armed the blades in August, 18(513. The Gov
ernment adopted the policy in the summer of
1868. I declared tor impartial suffrage in the
summer ot ’(ifi; it became the creed of the
party iu the spring of ’67. I insisted on the
necessity of impeachment iu the fall ot ’66; I
am now managing the trial of the President
in the spring of ’6B, and tberelorc have not
time to write you a longer letter, or more elab
orate. Yours, truly,
“ Benjamin. F. Bctleb.”
Train, when in Cork, gave a dinner to the
Roman Catholic clergymen, whom he told that
he had promised the Pope to build a palace for
him on the bank, of the Hudson. He also
promised each of the.reverend guests a return
ticket to Washington to attend his own inaug
ural banquet at the White Rouse.
( From tlii> Memphis Avalanche.
Address by Hon. John ulverett, of England.
OCR TROUBLES AND THE ONLY REMEDY.
The following speech was delivered by Mr.
Everett, at Memphis, lie is on a tour through
the Southern Sates and his advice is timely and
sensible.
Mr. Everettaddressed the meeting in a sensible
practicable stvie at some length- We
outline, of his remarks, which will be loirnd in
terestin';' to all classes of our people, The
.ejMtaker commenced by saying he was* altogeth
er Out of bis place in attempting to gpeak; he
was a worker and not a talker. His place was
in the busy haunts of the city. He lived on
Lombard street, London, which many of his
listeners knew to be. a very busy place, aud
where people worked a great deal and talked
very little. His object was not of a political
character, but to promote, if possible, the ma
terial interests of the people.
General Richardson, of this city, when on a
visit to London sometime since, had made him
promise if lie ever came to this country to visit
the South, and in compliance with that promise
be was here, and had consented to address the
citizens of Memphis. He was here to make
observations of the character of the country, its
interest, resources, condition and prospects.
He would not make himself officious, but lie
would make some suggestions in all kindness.
Men here of intellect, education and social po
sition were stricken down in spirit, and ready
to yield the great race of life. He felt it his
duty to do anything in his power for ameliora
ting the misfortunes and sorrows ofa such peo
ple.
He said he regretted he had not met the peo
ple here in sunnier times, years ago ; but said
We were both too busy then. The people of
England know little more of the people of the
South than they do of the inhabitants of the
moon, and in some of the Northern States it is
almost the same. In New York he had heard
the most unaccountable and false tales of op
pression down here. He came with all these
impressions, expecting to find a people utterly
ruined and passing away. Coming, as he did,
a stranger and not acquainted with the peculiar
troubles and sorrows of the people, he could
see, tilings in a brighter light than they could.
Here are found some of the richest lands and
finest resources of the world. The lauds of the
South generally are far superior to those .of
England, and, the climate is unsurpassed any
where. You can go on with your agriculture
three-fourths of the year, instead of being
housed that time by wintry blasts, and com
pelled to keep your stock iu close quarters also.
Your hills that kiss the clouds are full of min
eral wealth, equal t<> any in the world. Some
of the finest surface specimen* he ever saw was
shown hi Vi by Col. Sam Tale. These arc the
resources that prop industfy, stimulate enter
prise and arouse energy. The people of Eng
land say that you possess the elements of natu
ral prosperity, and that thfo country was desig
nated by the great Creator to he agricultural
and great. If one race will not. make it sosorae
other certainly will tie bound to do it. That is
what the people say on the other side.
Without stent manhood nothing great can
be established, People may make a country
but a country can never make a people.—
Wherever there is true manhood there will be
prosperity. In what does manhood consist V
A determination to carry out our -purposes, to
bear misfortune, to exercise fortitude iu the
face of adversity, to suffer and move forward
at the same time. The questiou then arises,
have you this true manhood V If you haffc not,
then whence came such heroism, gallantry and
endurance in the late conflict which you have
had ? Whence the devotion, sacrifices and pa
tient endurance ot your noble women at home
when you were far away fiopi them ? This is
certainly manhood of a type uOt inferior so the
ancient heroes whose names are inscribed in
history, and whom we all learn to revere in
childhood ; and no one can believe that suelt
men will give up. We cannot believe that this
country, licit in all the elements of prosperity,
will be abandoned or allowed to go down.
What, then, are the means and how are they
to be used to bring about that prosperity com
mensurate with your resources. No country
is truly and permanently great that is not agri
culturally so. Whence comes the greatness of
little England ? Her yeomanry have ever been
her power and glory. They are the foundation
of England’s prowess. They are prosperous,
by tilling almost every inch of the soil to the
highest perfection, and you, to become a great
and prosperous people, must make use ol
every foot of soil.
No country is rich long that goes abroad for
everything to eat and wear. “Ittgo to Lon
don,” said the speaker, “ from my country
place, for grapes, and pears, and nuts, and
potatoes, and fruits, when T can raise them as
well at home, at a trifling cost, it is quite likely
the constable would soon be closing me out. —
Forgive me, if I talk plain to you, for it is tor
your own good that I speak ; but I learn that
your people have been in the habit ot import
ing the simplest articles of domestic use ; that
your bioonts, even, are brought from Illinois,
when your old sedgefields are lull of the ma
terial to supply the. country with brooms; that
your axe handles gome from the North when
your forests abound with tfjc finest timbers to
be found anywhere; that everything to be
thought of comes from abroad. When people
buy so much from abroad they soon have little at
borne and are not likely to stay there long them
selves. Uni one thing has been thought of Jn
litis conntry while all your money has been
sent off to your more inventive neighbors. It
has been cotton, cotton, cotton all the time,
while every other interest has been neglected,
four climate and soil will produce everthing
you need to eat, drink or wear. The South is
particularly adapted to the growth of f|)e grape,
tie had drank wine a few weeks ago made by a
planter near Mobile which was equal to the best
European wine.
He was wearing a hat, he said, made ht Ho-'
Limbus, Mississippi, by Slaughter *fc ,
which was equal to foreign manufacture. You
can raise and manufacture right hern every
thing you need to wear, from t|te sole of your
foot to the crown of your bead. Then accept
the suggestion from one who wishes you well.
Sot, to work at once, and do it, and become
really independent. Look at home tor pros
perity, not abroad, : >
There is a trite old saying that “ nobody can
make a man.” The boy when put out in the
world may rise from obscurity sinA poverty to
honor ami effluence, if there is anything In
him. The same may be said of a country.—
Nothing cart be made of either a man or a
country that lms nothing in it. lie not, disap
pointed by discouragements.
When a man gets knocked down lie finds out
whether ite has any India rubber in him, and
Whether he has manhood to get up. You can
not keep some, nten down; they will rise in
spite ot misfortune. Surely the people of the
South have been knocked down, and robbed,
and beaten, but the American people are noted
for getting up ; and you will surely not. deny
their character.
Mr. Everett said he knew bnt little about
political reconstruction, and cared nothing
about it. What is most needed is material re
construction. You want labor—your system
lias been destroyed and scattered to the four
winds of the earth ; you never had enough at
any time; 4,000,000 of people who did the
work are set loose, but 14,000,000 would not be
a drop in the bucket, to what your immense
territory demands, and will one day contain.—
Labor and land are naturally connected togeth
er, and yet of all things they are the most diffi
cult things to manage. Your labor is gone
and the land is depreciated hundreds of per
cent. A better system will be inaugurated.—
The African race, when placed on equal foot
ing. can never keep pace with the active, ener
getic Anglo-Saxon, some of them are very in
telligent and highly educated. They are good
imitators, but bring them into active competi
tion with the white man and they will lull
short in the race. At present they cannot be
relied on as laborers. In England, the rule is
that a man who will not work shall not eat.—
Everything depends on labor, arid it is the
great problem of every nation’s greatness. Im
migration is what this country wants.
Farming in England is very expensive; all
the small fanners nearly are tenants, and it
requires a capital of not less than one thousand
pounds, or five thousand dollars, to cultivate
successfully ‘ one' hundred acres. There are
many youug men just able to make both ends
meet there on a small larra, who, if induced to
come to this country, could buy land ot their
own, and with their industrious, frugal habits
and ideas of economy would soon grow rich
and affluent. Suppose you had a few thousand
such men as this, or any countr,y, the land
would soon blossom as a garden, and peace
aud plenty smile ou the, land. Such men as
these can live where they are, and they will not
come here as laborers. But if you will give
them positive proof of what you will do ; let
them have your waste lands in large bodies
suitable for colonies, they will come. Give
them a guarantee that your best men will unite
in a corporation to encourage emigration.
Apportitmebt who canuot afford to do a petty
mean tiling lor the sake of a few dollars. “Un
less vour best men will go into the enterprise,
proposed,” said the speaker, “ I will not touch
it.” This plan is to enrich both sides aud not
tor the aggrandizement of auv few men. Let
tm organization he effected, and be would sug
gest to rail it “ National Freeholders’ Land
Association” of —• —— jState or county. If
this was done he would guaranty +llß honor,
aud that of his business Os England, to emi
grants. But the movement must come from
you.
He had bad applications j lor money by per
sons who wish to carry.on farming in the old
style. It was worse than lolly, and he would
as soon throw his rnouM away as to let it go
in that manner. The old style cannot be al
lowed any more; it is tnpossible now. The
only way to farm now i.-ilo cut up large plan
tations into little farms .and have them well
cultivated; build up taonjt: manufactures; mul
tiply your industries ; serve yourselves first,
and then sell any mnplus yon may have
abroad. Many seem to\rve thought of this
before; numerous minds have been running
tin; same way, and at baud when
action could and sho*h eIT;/ken. If you are
in earnest about tins waiter, get together 500,-
000 acres of land, an# offer them tor sale on
the European market at reasonable figures;
you will find buyers, and get better people to
till the land than ever before. Let them come
iu colonies, and bring all their social tics with
them, that nothing may remain behind to
tempt them back to tlieir native land. A
Southern gentleman once visaed Europe to
procure labor, and brought over sixty Ger
mans. He thought he ha 4 done a great thing,
but. there was only one voman in the crowd,
aud the cousequencc was, lilty-niue of them
weut back. Let the men who come bring
their wives and children and neighbors, and
settle down together, wlierc their social habits
will not be chauged or tics of affection prokeu.
They will help develop the resources ot the
country, aud anew order of things will he
brought about.
The President’s Counsel.
The Washington Star gives the following
brief and interesting sketches of the great law
yers who are to conduct the President’s case
during the impeachment trial:
Mr. Staubery, who resigned his office as At
torney General to appc.tr for the President in
this trial, sits at the head of the table. Should
Gic President be acquitted, Mr. Staubery will
be re-appointed to the Attorney Generalship,
the office being kept vacant meantime; but
should the President be convicted, why then
Mr. Wade will have something to say iu the
matter, and somebody else will be. made Attor
ney General, quite likely Mr. Matthew 11. Car
pen ter, of Wisconsin. Mr. Staubery is the
most distinguished looking of the array of
counsel for the defense—tali, graceful in bear
ing, and with a countenance indicaliveof thought
and sagacity. His features of the eagle or
der. Mr. Staubery was formerly a Whig in
polities, tout for the last hslf dozen years lias
been a Conservative, though never a partisan
in any sense of the word. The proper spell
ing of his name is the bother of all composi
tors. Our foreman finds it necessary to pla
card tire Star composing room as follows :
“Spell Staubery with one S, one TANARUS, one A,
one N, one 11, oueE, one R, and one Y.”
Next at the table is B. R. Curtis, of Boston,
presenting in his short, compact figure and
rather bull doggish expression of face, a marked
contrast to Mr. Staubery. liYpersonal appear
ance he somewhat resembles Pivgident John
son, troth which fact arose the repost so gener
ally circulated on the day ot the commence
ment of the impeachment proceedings that the
President had appeared at the Senate in person.
Mr. Curtis maintains a leading rank in New
England for ability and learning. He was for a
time a Justice of the Supreme Court during
Mr. Fillmore’s administration, but resigned
that place to return to the practice of his pro
fession. Like Mr. Staubery, he commenced a
Whig, and is now a sort of Conservative Demo
crat.
Mr. W. M. Evarts, of New York, is a lawyer
like looking personage, thin, small of sUe, and
with features giving ihe idea of quickness and
acuteness of thought. Mr. Evarts is a decided
Republican in politics, and one of the foremost
members of the New York bar. Mr. Evarts
wits a leading Republican candidate for the
Senate to succeed Mr. Seward in 1861, and was
warmly urged upon Mr. Lincoln by many dis
tinguished citizens for the office of Chief Jus
tice when it became vacant by the death of
Judge Taney,
The fourth qf the president s defenders is
Mr. j. S. Black, ot Pennsylvania, a Democrat
ot the strictest school, who was Mr. Buchanan's
Attorney-General, and afterwauls, on the resig
nation of General Oass, his Secretary of State.
His abilities have long-been recognised at the
While i touf.r, and poplar report has assigned
to him the authorship* of many ot the ablest
State papers of President Johnson, and especi
ally of those veto messages ot the President
Ijpit hqve been more successful in seizing upon
weak pojuls in acts vetoed, it is probable,
however, that Mr. Black has had much less to
do with the preparation of these papers the#
has been supposed ; but undoubtedly his a 1 vice
and suggestions have had great weight w’lli the
executive. In person Mr. Black is tall, raw
boned, angular in feature, and is said to bear
no little resemblance to Lord Brougham. As
a lawyer he stauds in the first-class, aud he is
noted for Hi A audacity and fertility of resources
which serves a lawyer better iu many nuance,
t|pifj all his learning and experience. Mr. Biaek
wits nos, present at the opening ol the proceed
ings to-day.
Ron. 8. Greenback, of Ohio, who appeared
to day for the first lime as one of the counsel
for the President, is a lawyer of fine standing
in|Jthe West. He was in the Thirty-seventh
Congress from Ohio, and in politics is a war
Democrat. His appearance indicates force and
self-possession.
Lastly, there is Mr. T. A. R. Nelson, of Ten
nessee. Mr. Nelson was in the early pari of
the war an earnest Union man, and was elected
to the United 3tat.es Congress as such, from his
district in East Tennessee, in August, 1861;
but being taken captive by the rebels on his
way to attend the following session ot Con
gress, he recanted his allegiance to the Union,
and threw the weight, of his influence thence
forward iu favor of the rebellion until the end.
As military Governor ot Tennessee, Mr. John
son was pretty severe in his denunciations of
the political course of Mr- Nelson, and it is
noted now as a curious reverse of circum
stance® that Mr. Nelson should now appear be
fore the Senate as one of Mr. Johnson’s advo
cates. The conceded ability of Mr. Nelson
among tliose by whom “he is best known, lias
doubtless caused his retention by the President
as one of his counsel. In appearance Mr. Nel
son is rather solid than brilliant, aud the pecu
liar deliberate manner in which he enunciates
his words, while drawing upon his head the.
blessings of the reporters, tend to make his
speaking monotonous and tiresome.
Judging from externals, Messrs. Stanbery
and Evarts will do the scalpel work ol the
trial, and Messrs. (Jurfis, Black and Nelson tin
sledge hammer business.
The Scientific American and oilier papers of
its very nseful class have been occupying the
minds of their readers of late with the ques
tion of “How many revolutions a wheel makes
adopt its own axis in rolling once around a
wheel of its ow r n size ?” That there can be
auy doubt on such a question must arise from
indistinct statements of its conditions, and all
the paraphernalia of diagrams are useless.
For, if the revolving wheel and the stationary
wheel, being of the same size, are marked oil
by radii into equal segments, no single division
of the moving circumference can pass over
more than its own length (unioss by a sliding
motion), any more than a tw T o-foot rule laid
down first at one end aud then at the other, can
measure more than two feet. The parallel ac
tion is the same in straight or carved bodies. •
The moving wheel revolves once. 1 lie ques
tion has become muddled by such statements
as this from the American Artisan: “Ihe
Scientific American has at last induced some
persons to think that a wheel makes but one
revolution on its axis in rolling once around a
fixed wheel of a given size ” —omitting the es
sential point of the whole thing, that the two
wheels are of the same size. If journals wish
to claim scientific authority, they should be
careful to observe scientific accuracy.

Southern Cultivator.- Wc are in receipt,
of tills admirable agricultural journal for the
month ot April. Wc rejoice to see that the
cumbersome style ol the old issue lias been dis
carded and a neat book form adopted. The
number before us is unusually interesting, and
we mean to imply a great compliment by the
comparison. Every Southern farmer should
subscribe to this journal, which is undoubtedly
the best ol its class south of Baltimore ; and, as
peculiarly adapted to this region, unsurpassed,
if equalled, by any other similar publication.
Third District.— The convention which
met in Columbus on Tuesday, besides nomi
nating P. W. Alexander for Congress, appoint
ed John 1,. Mustain, of Muscogee, and the
lion. Hugh Buchanan, as delegates to the Na
tional Democratic Convention, and Gen. Eli
Warren, of Houston, and Col. John Long, of
Carroll, alternates.
Wh at a Small Farm Will Do.— Those who
desire to know how to utilize to the highest
degree every acre they cultivate, and to have
on hand always something for market, may get
a hint from the following—taken from an lowa
paper:
ludustry aud common sense arc certain
guarantees of success. Mr. John Briscoe, in
the Cedar Valley, Joy.a, has a farm of thirty-
acres. lie raised last season P.l acres of
corn, lour of oats, iO of wheat, 2 of grass, half
an acre, of potatoes, and half an acre In broom
corn, beans, hops and cabbage, lie harvested
1,000 bushels of corn, 250 of oats, 107 of wheat,
200 of potatoes, 4 tons of Hungarian grass,
and two tons of liuiothy hay; besides broom
corn enough for 10 dozen brooms, 11 bushels
of white beans, 700 heads of,cabbage, aud $7
worth of hops. Reduced to currency, his
summer’s work on thirty-six acres amounted
to sl,olu 51 >. Calling the land worth S2O per
acre, Mr. Brisco could pay for his farm and
support his family out of one season’s work.
The Funeral Procession— The funeral
procession yesterday of Asbbuni formed in line
at the house where he was killed, mat cited down
Oglethorpe street, to the Presbyterian Church
corner, and then to the Muscogee road, where
the body was placed on the train and carried to
Macon where the lainily reside. There was
music from two drums and a tile. The pall
bearers were negroes. Only one vehicle fol
lowed the hparse—a carriage cot,taming Ash
burn’s son, a Jew, Coleman, for whom the son
clerks, and two negroes. An escort ol six sol
diers of the garrison, commanded by a corpo
ral, followed. Besides those mentioned there

looked on indifferently. All Radicals remained
away. No demonstrations wli never. There
were not exceeding Uvo hundred negroes iu the
procession. Half of these were women. Os
the men we recognized none from town. They
seemed to be ot ih ; idle, dirty e.-.tss of ragged
Vagabonds—gathered from liu; purlieus and
outskirts of the city. The .last section carried
a United States flag. Aslibuni’s influence,
Which has waned vastly in the last six months,
appears to have died with him ; ami in a few
days he will be forgotten. Tile day was bright
and cheerful.— Columbus San.
A Snare to Enslave the People.— Jl.
Loqi.s Blanc, iu discussing the Affairs of
Europe, predicts a general convulsion of
the,Continental nations at no distant day,
and contends that
“The theory of the fusion of races, if un
derstood in tiie sense of the formation of
gigantic states, rendered as formidable as
possible by the concentration of their
lorces in the hands of a military despot, is
a snare which crafty statesmen lay lor Lite
people they are determined to enslave.”
The Round Table takes occasion to com
ment upon the prophecy as a vague but ter
rible menace, which seems aimed at the
supporters of Cion. Grant and the centraliz
ing policy of Congress.
Interesting Disclosures. — A \\ ashiug
ington letter writer makes the following hi
tercstiug sfateiuen t. Ile says:
“At this juncture it would be impolitic to
refer to any Senators by name, but it is said
that the President holds in his possession
scores of private letters from Senators-—and
among them numerous Radicals —asking
for favors at different times, in the matter
of appointments, many of which were
granted, and the story goes that if these
Senators show no mercy. toward him, the
public may expect to see some highly in
teresting epistolary correspondence given
to the world in the publication of these let
ters.”
Wc have no doubt there is truth in the
statement..
A Leg Lost for Love.— A French paper
gives tlic following account of a branch of
the “ leg business,” which seems to have
escaped Miss Olive Logan’s attention. An
English Lord fell madly in love with a
young lady who had lost a leg by amputa
tion. He fell on his knees, and iaici at her
feet—-or rather, at liej.’ foot—his titles and
ids fortune. She declined! “Why, oh
vvltyl” asked the enamored Peer. “ Be
cause such a marriage would be unequal,
ami unequal marriages are always un
happy.” The Peer protested that there
was no inequality. His wealth am! sta
tion were as naught compared with her
love. “Still we arc unequal,” calmly said
the maiden. “How, dearest —how’?” fran
Really asked the Peer. “Our standing is
not the same,” To which the einyiuorcß
Peer said, “ Nonsense.” The- maiden per
sisled, and proved her correctness by the
fact that lie had two legs, while she had
but, one. He madly rushed away—not to
suicide, but to amputation, lie returned,
hobbling, but a happy man; for the maiden
accepted him, and they will limp through
life, cripples, but companions*

Broken Down Men in New York.
The New York correspondent of the Troy
Times writes as follows of the broken down
men of that city :
The broken down men to whom we have
referred form the best, possible help in the
great mercantile concerns of this city. A.
T. Stewart, the merchant prince, lias been
for years in the habit of picking out among
this class such assistants as he might need,
and we presume that there might, be found
under his roof to-day the wrecks of twenty
different, dry goods houses that were started
with good prospects of success. For in-,
stance, that grave and dignified gentleman
of forty-live years, who occupies the posi
tion of general manager and overlooker of
the wholesale warehouse, is Mr. Brown,
formerly a dry goods jobber of the house of
Brown & Cos., Oort laud t street. lie is a
first rate business man, and Stewart knows
it; and perhaps it is but au incident in life
that Brown is not Stewart and that Stew
art is not Brown. As it is, Mr. Brown
is to a certain degree Stewart’s lieu
tenant, and as the latter is much en
grossed by the leading facts in his main
moth business, no one is allowed to ad
dress him personally until his errand lias
been communicated to the lieutenant
aforesaid. So, also, this line looking
gentleman who has the management of
the credits, Mr. Libby, who looks after
all references, and without whose approval
no man cun get a bill of goods on lime, is
a broken down merchant. Twenty years
ago, the firm of Hastings, Libby & Forby
struggled for wealth, but iu vain. They
sank in the general vortex of commercial
ruin, and Mr. Stewart, who discerned Mr.
Libby’s talents, lias made good use of him.
Mr. Libby is it highly gifted business man,
and lias made himself so necessary in Stew
art,* concern, Unit, it' report lie true, fie has
now a partnership in it. We might go on
and call over Stewart’s check-roll and find
many oilier similar oases; and so, also, we
might find just, such a class of men selling
goods for Clafiin and other large houses.—
When a man has once failed in any kind of
business, it, is very seldom that he attempts
to recuperate in the same trade. He is
generally siel: or' el fort. He will work for
others iu that line, but has a fear of at
tempting it personally again. Hence men
who fail in New York seldom get on their
feet. Their customers are drummed away
by other houses, and the current of their
business i,s so broken that it seems impossi
ble 1 to lie resuscitated.
The custom-house is a great gathering
of broken down men; and besides this
one finds them iu every petty birth which
they can get into. Most of the insurance offi
ces are manned with this class, and in many
instances insurance companies have been
fonrted for the txpr. sx purpose of affording
a snug harbor for some such characters.
Most of the merbhnndise brokers are of the
class. If a wholesale druggist fails, lie is
apt to turn broker in drugs ; if a wholesale
grocer fails he \\ ill mil orally turn to bis own
staples. We have said that men who fail
in New York seldom get on their feet
again. To illustrate this statement, we
may call over a few names. Where was
there a more famous house than that .of
Bowen, McNamee A Go. ? And* yet the
collossal business which required twenty
five years to build it up, went in one fell
swoop when that (inn failed. If you were
to look for the head of that great concern
you would not find him in the world of silks
ancl satins. On the other hand, Mr. Bowen
is now the publisher of the Independent.
Among other great firms that have
gone out of existence, we might mention
in dry goods the Moores, who were
in the trade for thirty years, who,
from small beginnings at last occupied a
Broadway store at a rent of $7,000 per
annum. On the grocery business we might
mention the name of J. K. Place & Cos.,
which failed last fall. This house was esti
mated as being worth a million of dollars.
Their credit stood so high that they could
purchase a bill ot coffee and give a note for
it to the amount of one hundred thousand
dollars and yet now that they have failed
it is not probable that they will pay their
creditors much, if indeed anything probably
in a short time we shall see these very
Places, who once were merchant priuces,
running round the streets with boxes of
samples, and taking the chances among the
legion of merchandise brokers. Togo back
to the house of Dennison & Beldeii, from
which the Places sprung. This concern
failed a few years ago, and although it pos
sessed an immense trade, yet it was never
resuscitated. So also when Simeon Draper,
failed although he announced in his card
that In' would pay in full, yet the Herald
contradicted this assurance, aud stated that
lie would never pay a dollar, and lie never
did. So also the banking-house of Prime,
Ward & Co.,.they paid nothing.
Stepping into a large concern some time
ago, we entered into conversation with the
book-keeper, a man apparently of sixty,
and found to our surprise that lie once was
partner in a heavy cloth importing house,
whose sign had been familiar to us for
years. A consciousness of the difficulty of
retrieving one’s fortune was uttered in the
language of William Burger, who, a few
years ago, was oik 1 of the heaviest whole
sale dealers in drugs in the city. After his
failure, which wound up his business ex
perience of thirty years, a friend asked him
how old he was. The reply was “too old
to fail iu business!” anil so it proved. We
have seen the broken merchants of This
city ieduced to keeping boarding-houses.—
Wo knew ot one who made his bread
out ol model artist exhibitions, aud an
other, who was once among the great
est, business men of the day, Was recently
picked np in the street at iiight, a druken
vagrant, and as such was taken to the sta
tion-house.
