JONSTJLT UTIONALI ST. AUGUSTA. GA. WEDNESDAY MORNING. JUNE 3,1868 MR. PENDLETON AGAIN. The New York Journal of Commerce deems the nomination of Mr. Pendleton inexpedient, because he may have arrayed against hirn the power and treasure of six teen hundred national banks and the money interest generally. How far the national banks and the money-interest could control the election as against the groaning masses who think them, whether justly or unjustly, their common oppressors, we can not de termine. But, it the people of the East and West are as terribly bent upon relief of some sort as we are led to believe, the money in terest would have as much as it could at tend to in taking care of itself, even in the greenback way. Take the State of New York, for instance. How many of her 50,000 Democratic majority are interested in becoming poorer and poorer, as years roll on, to make the moneyed minority richer and richer ? If this be true of New York how much more true must it be of the West, the great battle-ground, after all, of the Presidential contest ? The Journal of Commerce , standing neutral between partisans, is properly regarded as a most excellent umpire in vexed questions; but when it touches upon the financial as pect of politics it, in a great degree, forsakes its neutrality and becomes partisan, and hence, biased. The New York Freeman's Journal informs us, how correctly we know not, that the'influence of the Journal oj Com merce is very meagre 'politically , though con siderable in its legitimate exposition of com mercial topics. In view of this statement, we are inclined to take its overslaughing of Mr. Pendleton with a grain of salt, and not give it the prominence it seems to have met with. Several weeks ago, our esteemed Charles ton contemporary, the Mercury , printed a letter from a New York correspondent sketching the predominant claims of Gen. Hancock. Os its correspondent, the Mer cury said he was a gentleman “ wielding great influence in the North, and thorough ly acquainted with the general feelings of the Democratic party.” In the course of his letter this correspond ent wrote: “As to Mr. Peudleton, it must be noticed that the delegations which have been instructed iu his lav’Ot’ are irom States in which no earthly hope exists of a Democratic majority. It is a cheap compliment for Northwestern Demo crats to say they desire the nomination of George H. Pendleton. Will any of them pre tend they can ever hope to carry their States for him after he shall have been placed in the field V How much money will they raise, turn ing upon the light in tlieir own States, to help .organize victory for him in the States where Democratic majorities may be polled ?” The Chicago limes is quite annoyed with this utterance and proceeds to controvert it. The Times lias certainly the right and title of great consideration as an oracle of Western Democratic sentiment. In answer to the objections of the Mercury correspond ents; it uses the following language : “The States which liavc instructed for Mr. Pendleton are, c hip, ludiann, Illinois, lowa, Nebraska, Wfregou. cmitorma, and Kentucky , and ka is notoriously Ihefirsd choice of W-w --cousiu, Minnesota, Marylaiw and Tennessee. In the States which have instructed for him, we are told, 1 no earthly hope exists of a Demo cratic majority.’ What earthly hope, then, ex ists of the election ol the Democratic candi date, whoever he may be 2 Is it pretended that he can be elected without the electoral votes of one or more of the States of Ohio, In diana and Illinois, to say nothing of the other Pendleton States ? We see at once where the argument ot this New York correspondent of the Charleston paper lands him.” “And his judgment is as poor as his i!TS u ' merit is defective. So far irom his being ‘thoroughly acquainted with the general feel ings of the Democratic party,’ we have not Been so much ignorance of that feeling displayed in any other quarter. The plain fact is, that it is the States that have instructed for Mr. Pendle ton that will determine the contest. It is they that will be the decisive battle-ground. As the o renter part of their electoral votes shall go, so will go the election. And it this correspond ent of the Charleston paper knew anything at all about ‘ the general feelings of the Demo cratic party,’ he would know that it is solely because the Democracy of these States teel that Mr. Pendleton is stronger in them than any body else —that his nomination offers the best chance of carrying them, and the only chance of carrying some of them—that they have in structed for him. These instructions are in no case ‘cheap compliments.’ Mr. Pendleton is not the sort of man to accept compliments of any 60rt, and the Democracy of the West are not in the mood to give them to anybody. The Democracy of the West are seeking only for euceess. They realize that the burden of the fight will be upon them, and they assume to know, better than cau be be known elsewhere, with whom as the candidate they can carry the jnost electoral votes. “This New Yorkcorrespoudent of the Charles ton paper betrays his own littleness, and the small spirit in which he regards the contest, in his allusion to the amount of money which the Northwestern States would undertake to raise to assist in carrying—such aState of New York, shall we say ? “The letter, altogether, is in troth too shallow for serious comment, and we have noticed it all only because a Southern paper of some promi nence has sought to give it consequence. If the Southern people shall permit themselves to be deceived by such eharlantry as that of this letter vriter, they will add another fatal error to those former fatal errors which have brought so many and great disasters upon them.” It is not our province to settle this con troversy and we sincerely trust that the South may not l>e called upon to interfere actively for any candidate. But, since the subject has become a matter of general dis cussion, and, since we have expressed a preference for Mr. Pendleton, we consider it eminently proper to defend him without acrimony, expressing the hope that the very best man may receive the nomiua- and if a better man than Pendleton can be found, pledged to a return to true Constitutional principles, we care not what Jiis namt’ on earth may be. A Telling Argument.—The great ar gument against the homestead and relief clause of the Virginia Constitution is drawn from Georgia’s experiedo e - The papers say that Thad Stevens has eJP osed it; a9 a swindle In Georgia and will not / ail t 0 do the same in Virginia. THE WAR SONG- The Chicago Convention celebrated its nomination of Gen. Gkant by singing, in grand chorus, a campaign song, the refrain of which runs thus: Then rally again, then rally again, With the soldier, and sailor, and bummer, And we’ll fight it out here, on the old Union line, No odds if It takes ns all Summer. Think of Joe Brown and his Georgia delegation roaring out at the top of their loyal luugs the praises of the “ bummer” —that vile thing which followed in tiie wake of Sherman’s horde and devastated the fairest districts of Georgia, it may, at the first blush, seem inappropriate and dis gusting of the Southern renegades thus to pipe the bummer anthem ; but, as they rep resent, politically, the same idea that the camp-follower represented belligeiently, the fellow-feeling not only made them wondrous kind, but wondrous musical, in piping the low ditty of Radicalism. Since, however, they have pitched their voices in a bondsman’s key, and ignored all self-respect, the following lines, which we find in the New York Bay Book, may be conveniently added to the chorus as an evidence of superserviceable zeal in the holy cause of loyalty: “ No odds if it takes us all Summer,” We’ll rally each white and hlack bummer, To vote for the sulky old rummer. Brother Brown will lead in the hymn to be followed by “ tremendous applause,” when the “ bummer” programme comes in. Crown him with collards, sprinkle him with sorghum, let him languish to the sound of the bummer music! ANOTHER SOUrHERN OUTRAGE! A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS. AN IRISHMAN IS IMPRISONED AND BANISHED. [From the N. Y. Tribune, Jan. —, 1801. In the Augusta (Qa.) Evening Dispatch , of the 29th ult., is the Inflowing editorial para graph : “ Arrested.—A inau named James Crangle, hailing from Columbia, 8. C., was arrested by the police, last night, for giving vent to Aboli tion sentiments, while in a state of intoxication, arid is now in durance.” A secoud editiou of this story is published in the Charleston (8. C.) Mercury, of December 31, two days later, and is as toiiows: “Vigilance. — Passengers lrom Augusta re port that an Abolitionist was tarred and feath ered in that city on Friday. Ilis name is repre sented to be James Crangle, recently lrom Co lumbia.” Mr. Crangle arrived in tills city, from Charles ton, on Saturday last, in the steamer Nashville, riis story we have from his own lips, and we think it may be repealed to the edification <>f Mr. O’Conor’s countrymen who believe slavery to be an excellent institution and who vote (lie Democratic ticket, and for the information of those Union saving gentlemen who have debts to collect on accouut, or under judgments, at the South. Mr. James Crangle is by birth an Irishman, educated to the law, who emigrated to this country about two aud a half years siuce. Be ing under a necessity of earning a livelihood, he made engagement soon after his arrival in this city, to go as clerk into the establishment of Messrs. Gray & Turly, dry goods merchants of Savannah and Augusta. After a brief stay in the former place, in the employment of Messrs. Gray & Turley, he was sent by them to the establishment at Augusta, when they re fused to retaiu him longer in their service. He returned to Savannah, where he soon obtained the place of Deputy Clerk to the Court of Or dinary of Chatham county, Ga. Since that time he has lived quietly, unobstrusively, and inoffensively, busy with the duties of his office, and in qu ilifying himself to be admitted to the bar. With the subject of slavery lie never med dled, and never, In any way, expressed an opin ion in regard to it. Feeling, however, that he had been unju.- » dealt wltli by Messrs. Gray Jfc Turley, who had ~d him to go to the South, andAiari then broken the engagement between them without regard to the eoiiseijnenee that might ensue :>* him a stranger and friendless in a strange land sued them l'or his salary under the contract. The suit was brought in a Justices Court, and a decision given in his favor. Appeal was made by Messrs, Gray & Turley to the Superior Court, where the decision of the Court below was confirmed, and judgment granted against the defendants. This end, however, was not gained without some difficulty. Three lawyers successively threw up his case, after delaying it for several months, and he at length carried his suit through “nd brought it to a successful issue by acting as his own counsel. But even here was not an end to the legal obstacles in the way of justice. With the judgments in his tutlld he went to one after another of the ofil nf'the jaw in Savannah, but could find nnno'who would execute the duties of their o' well known, influential and less Irishman. He appealeu . General, Julian Hartridge, to lay the . of these delinquent officials before the Gra,. Jury, but it was only to meet with a refusal from that gentleman, on the ground that an indictment against them would also involve one against the attorneys for the defendants. Hopeless of redress iu Savannah, Mr. Cran gle went to Augusta, trusting that in that place, where Messrs. Gray & Turley are. hold ers of property, he should be able to find offi cers who would serve the judgment of the court against them. On his arrival he went to the United States Hotel, kept by Messrs. Dobey & Mosher, and took a room. In the course of the evening he was waited upou by a man, call ing himself John Neilly, who invited him out upou the sidewalk in front of the hotel, and there said to him, that, understanding him to be an Abolitionist, he, Neilly, on behalf of the Vigilance Committee, directed him to leave town immediately. Mr. Crangle at once re fused to act on this order. He was there, he said, for the purpose simply of collecting mo ney due him on a judgment of the Superior Court, and lor nothing else; and that it they could prove him to be an Abolitionist they were welcome to hang him. He was permit ted, then, to return to the bar-room of the ho tel, where he presently related the summons that had been served upon him, and the con versation that ensued. Thereupon, James Hughes, the bar-keeper, came iorward and stated that he knew that Crangle was an Abo litionist; that he had this information from Andrew Gray, who said that “ Crangle was a damned Abolitionist aud rascal, and ought to be put out of the way.” Mr. Crangle again denied the allegation. He understood now, however, the source and meaning of the accu sation, for Andrew Gray is a brother of the senior partner in the house of Gray & Turley. About 2 o’clock that night, when asleep in bed, his room was broken into by three con stables, named Everett, King aud Ramsey, ac companied by about twenty of the Vigilance Committee, who arrested him. They dragged him out of bed, and, alter taking from him bis overcoat and valise, hurried him off to jail.— The next day he was waited upon by another constable, one Ford, who demanded his keys, which he refused to give np. Ford assured him that if no abolition documents were found in his possession, he would be dis charged ; but if the charge against him should be proved, he would be hung up at the prison gates by the Vigilance Committee. To persist in refusing to give np his keys, Ford assured him, would be considered as equivalent to a confession of guilt, and he should call the com mittee to execute speedy judgment. Under these threats he had no alternative but to com ply with the demand for the keys, and surren derftd fgi.ern. In the evening of that day, Mr. Olin, a Jusfipe of Peace, called upou him, and informed him Jjjaf. Mr. Foster Blodgett, Jr., the Mayor ol Augusta, had tiled an affidavit against him which was sufficient to swear away ten lives, if he had 60 many. This formidable document, which Mr. Olin showed him, assert ed ttiaf fie, the Mayor, had been informed and believed tfiaf, she errand of Crangle at the South was to stir up $n insurrection among the slaves, and that fie was fioipg so; that he had asserted that the slaves would be justified in ris ing against their masters; that the people of the North would be justified iu putting arms into the hands of the slaves; that the people of Massachusetts were justified in aiding and arming The “niggers” at Harpers’ Ferry; and that he, the Mayor, was prepared to t prove these assertions. Mr. Crangle met tbese charges with a flat denial. He assured Mr. Olin that the whole story was a falsehood, a fiction from beginning to end ; that he had never uttered any such sentiments. Mr. Olin thereupon informed him that his trial would take place the next day, and advised him to send for and engage as his counsel Col. Cuiu miug, a well-known lawyer, and one of the most respectable and influential citi/.ens of Augusta. Tiie advice was taken and Col. Cumming ap plied to. He called that evening, and, after listeuiug to Mr. Craugle’s statement, to his honor be it said, consented to defend the case. All this lime, it should be remembered, the prisoner was held under no legal process, but, though confined in the city prison, and visited by the officers ol the law, was simply in the custody of the Vigilance Committee. The next morning he was ordered into eourt, aud on his way thither was arrested at the suit of the State on "a charge ot endeavoring to incite an insur rection among the slaves, aud was arraigned before Justices Olin and Picquet. The statute of the State, which provides the penalty of death for the crime with which the prisoner was charged, was read, when Col. Camming moved that the case bo carried to the Superior Court, which wonld sit in January. He gave his reasons tor the motion, that the present trial wa- held in fact, by the Vigilance Commit tee, who alone constituted the audience, and would hang the accused then aud there, if the slightest shadow of suspicion could attach to him. Mr. Crangle, however, arose and opposed the motion. Strong in his own iunocence, he wished the trial to proceed, and did not fear the result. The witnesses were then called and examined. They were Charles McCalla, John Neilly, A1 len Davy, Thomas T. Fogarty, and Jas Hughes, the bar-keeper at the United States Hotel. Their evidence, however, was only hear-say. Not one of them knew anything, of his own knowledge, of the prisoner ; not one of them had ever’heard him utter pi ’single abolition opinion, or any opinion whatever upou the sub ject of slavery, and none of them kuew any thing about him, good, bad, or indifferent. The only evidence of any moment was that of Hughes, who testified, on a cross examination, that Andrew Gray had pointed out the prisoner to him as an Abolitionist; and that of Neilly, who acknowledged that he had agreed and pro posed that the prisoner shonid be hanged with out the formality of a trial, at the time of his arrest, upon the lamp post opposite the United States Hotel. The admission passed eveD with out rCbuke from the court. But the court was more vigilant when Hughes admitted that,'Gray had pointed ont the prisoner to him as an Abo litionist, and ruled out the evidence on the ground that the trade of Augusta with the North would he injured should it become known that such was their method of dealing with creditors Alter the witness had been ex amined, Col. Cumming addressed the court in a speech, evidently so fearless as to have exer cised a strong influence over the minds of the court and audience, and marked bv a degree of sound common sense hitherto unheard of un der such circumstances. He denounced these Vigilance Committees as self-made tribunals, constituting themselves as at once witnesses and judges, and ns actuated by no higher mo tive than a determination to denounce all Northern men of property as Abolitionists, for the purpose of ruining them and dividing the spoils among themselves. The statute of Georgia providing the penalty of death for inciting the slaves to insurrection, he said, on the other band, though severe, was none too much so. It behooved the South to keep both its eyes and ears opeu to protect their property against incendiaries. But the innocent, he declared, should not be accused and subjected to persecution. Under the effect of this speech, and as no title of evidence could tie produced against Mr. Crangle, the court had tint one course to pursue, and the prisoner was acquitted. He was, nevertheless, con demned to pay the cost ol prosecution, the fees of the Vigilance Committee, xvho had ar rested him without legal process, aud the cost of the imprisonment which he hud been com pelled to suffer, and was remanded to jail till 1 ayinent was made. On arriving at the hotel, his coat and valise, which the committee had taken from him, were produced, but the pock etbook, containing nearly a hundred dollars, and which he had left iu the coat pocket, was not to be found. Again he was taken to the court, where he stated the circumstances to Justice Olin. But that genteman refused to believe him. “ I have,” he said, to the prison er, “ acquitted von simply for want of evidence; hut I still believe you arc an Abolitionists, a God d—d Abolitionists, and you had better confess it. You are,” he continued, “a fool, a God d—(l fool. Have not your lrieuds told you so. Do you not know it yourself?”— He then ordered him to open his valise, declaring that, if anything was found in it to convict him, there were enough of the “boys” present. % to him. up. The prisoner at tVW- Th«* valise and Hie •'«iJj had t>*en ont of hts possession lor tire days; he did not know what might have been put iu the valise, and lie did not choose to Lake the chauce of being hanged on such a contingency. On the threats being repeated, however, lie consented to open the valise, which lortunately had not been tampered with, and where nothing was found but his clothing and some papers rela tive to the debt which he )v’d come to Augusta to collect. Word was then sent to Cos). Sneed, the president of the Vigilance Committee, ot the inability ot the prisoner to discharge the bill of costs, and to demand its payment of him, as the representative of the party making the arrest. Col. Sneed refused. Tiie Mayor was then sought for to make the same demand of hint as prosecutor, but he could not he lound. It seemed perfectly clear to the Justice that the bill had to be paid by somebody, and as those from whom it was rightfully due could not he compelled to, he chose to act on the principle that.possession is nine points of the law, and hold hirn responsible whom he bad in his power. Anew committal was made ont, and Mr. Crangle returned to jail till he could • t.fie costs ot his own false imprisonment. \fter huffier confinement of thirty three hours, ano it being evident that there was no relentin'- oil the part of his persecutors, he wrote to 001. Cumming to. thank him for his generous services, aud to ask for another inter view on his behalf. Soon alter, Mr. Alfred Cumming, a sou of Col. Camming, appeared at the jail, paid the ItHf demanded, and the prisoner was releii6.eo« vised him to he off the moment he wag Ofifi pf jail as there were “ hoys enough,” be gaid, “to strim- him up.” As he had every reason to believe"in the soundness of this counsel, he left immediately, and arrived, we have al ready stated, in this city on Saturday. We subjoin a copy ot the bill, for the non payment of which Mr. Crangle was'detained in the Augusta jail thirty-three hours; and had not this sum been generously advanced by Col. Cumming he would, no doubt, have been etifl in confinement, unless, indeed, the old cry of “ ala lanterne ” had been fulfilled in his case iu this modern Reign of Terror : Augusta, Ga , Dec. 31,1859.
