jemST IT UTIONALIST. AXJGHJSTA. &A. WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 17. ’6B 00SM0P0LI TAN. Geu. Buchanan, commander of the fifth military satrapy, has perpetrated a bit of political sarcasm winch future satirists of Republican forms of government will find hard to surpass. Well aware that the members elect to the Louisiana Legislatuie are scattered over two continents, from Skowhegan to Hesse Darmstadt, he de spairs of finding them through the ordina ry medium of communication, and so, is sues the following unique circular: “ [Circular No. 10 | “ The. post office address of the members of the General Assembly and civil officers, whose election was announced on the 3d inst , in Spe cial Orders No. 131, from these headquarters, beimr in most eases unknown, in ordyr, as far as possible, to avoid failures in the transmis sion of copies of that order, which is a certifi cate of election to the members and others elect, said copies will, in such cases, be deliv ered only upon application in person, or in writing, giving post office address, to this of fice. “ By command of Brevet Major General R. C. Buchanan.” The father of Mirabeau styled himself the “Friend of Mankind," but he was, at the same time, a monster of cruelty toward his own flesh and blood. The carpet-bag Legislators of Louisiana are equally ex pert iu the grim character of jesters. They claim to be citizens of Louisiana, but Gen. Buchanan knows very well that their habitations and baptismal appellations are just as uncertain as the Irishman’s flea or old Mirabeau’s philanthropy. Voila cir cular No. 16. WELT. SAID- The Journal of Commerce does not agree with the World in it sview of accepting tiie status quo of Radical Reconstruction embodied in the Omnibus Bill. It thus dis poses of the rotten-borough system and ne gro suffrage thereunder: “ No law of Congress, no constitution of any State, no amendment to the Constitution oi the United States, is unrepcalnble. Congress has shown mankind with what facility the most, sacred charters, the most solemn compacts, may be rent to pieces, where party interests re quire it. At some time not far distant, per haps, the Conservatives may have the supreme power, as the Radicals now have it. It will be their duty to revise and correct errors of Radi cal legislation. One ot the first questions that will come before them will he that of the re peal of all negro suffrage enactments and pro visions. Unqualified negro suffrage will then have been tried upon its merits, on the large scale. If, on the whole, it is a good thing, it will not he molested. Until'it is a clearly ap parent evil and nuisance, nothing can save it front h dug sponged out of existence.” The Journal is slightly punctilious in giving unqualified negro suffrage the bene .flt of a doubt— i. c., “ifit is a good thing, it wifi not be molested.” It never was and never will be a “ good tfffng,” attd so it must and shall be sponged out. THE DISFKANOHISED. It is a sore imputation on the justice of the God and morality party to be reminded that while the rights of man, according to their creed, require universal negro suffrage, the same rights of man, obligate gross dis franchisement of the most virtuous, wealthy and intelligent white men. This accusa tion causes them to sneeze with indignation whenever it is put under their progressive nostrils. Very recently, Senator Hen dricks stated that 800,000 white men were outlawed in the South. Senator Drake denied this with some heat. Senator Hen dricks was under the mark, that is all.— More than 300,000 men have been excluded from voting in the*ten territorial satrapies. To which add 80,000 in Tennessee, 80,000 in Missouri and 40,000 in West Virginia.— Commenting upon this diabolical crime, the National Intelligencer observes: “ It is entirely within bounds to say that over half a million of white men have been disfranchised in this republican America by what Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts, would call the * liberty-loving’ party of the coun try—liberty in his judgment being the license to commit any crime that has the elements of cruelty and meanness.” BEIGE POMEEOY. % Several Southern journals have accused “ Brick” Pomeroy of being the evil-genius of Democracy and the South. We do not join in any such absurd charge. The occa sional indiscretions of the LaCrosse Demo crat can well be pardoned when its general vigor is remembered. Pomeroy has clung to principle when thousands, North and South, have disgracefully abandoned it. While, therefore, we have frequently regret ted his unnecessary resort to indelicate lan guage, we could not recklessly abuse a man who is honestly blunt, and, when so many are weary of the strife, keeps up the com bat against , crime with unflagging intre pidity. When Rome was sunk into a de gradation truly Infernal, Juvenal shamed villainy by portraying it as it was, without disguise and without the arts of a dille laut. Pomeroy is the American Juvenal? The scorching verse of the Roman poet may offend the polite ears of a a refined Re publican of the era ’6B, just as the terrible prose of the LaCrosse Democrat crashes upon the sensitive tympanum of expe diency men. But Juvenal was a power in the past, and Pomeroy is a power in the present. Chief Justice Chase.— The New York Herald and the New York 'Tribune have nominated Chief Justice Chase as the De mocratic candidate for the Presidency.— Here are two potent reasons why the De mocracy should have nothing to do with him. - * Heaven Be Praised.—Shellabarger, of Reconstruction infamy, has concluded to retire from public life. He complains of “ failing health.” What a pity it did not Jail daring infancy. A SWIFT WITNESS. Senator Yates, of Illinois, having recov ered from llie abasement of his letter to his constituents excusatory of drunkenness, has charmingly non-plussed his party friends by an exhibition of candor on the negro ques tion. He denounces the Chicago platform 1 for its hypocrisy and taunts his associates with cowardice in showing one face to the negro at the North and another to the negro at the South. He was in favoT of facing the music and making the rule in the South no exception in the North. In order to check his indiscreet valor, several Senators reminded him, in under tone, that Ohio, Kansas and Michigan were hard to circum vent. Nothing daunted by this thrust, he declared that the record they made was iu consequence of being chicken-hearted. So hotly did he press his views, that predic tion grew from inspiration and Illinois was handed over to the Copperheads by 75,000 majority. This man perceives that double dealing will overthrow Radicalism ; and vet, there are some Democrats who con ceive that apostacy will benefit Democracy ! HARD TO BELIEVE- Ever and'anon, the National Intelligencer writes in this fashion : “The game is perfectly well understood here, and we know the desperate expedients Hint will be adopted to carry the election by the bayonet, in imitation of the worthy example of Louis Napoleon. But it is as well that Iheie desperate demagogues should know that the American people will not tainc-ly submit to be defrauded of their right?, or to be cheated out of the election of President by fabricated ne gro votes.” At least fifty thousand similar menaces have been made, during the last three years, and yet, the “ American People” submitted in every instance. One reason why Beast Butler “ pushes on the column ” is his per fect contempt for threats, which are sound and fury, signifying nothing. If the “Amer ican People" ever rise to strike for liberty, it will be a miracle as surprising to other people as to themselves. Bowen’s black smith is a practical commentary upon these fine-spun theories. GORHAM AGAIN, When this notorious man was nominated to succeed Fornf.y as Secretary of the Uni ted States Senate, the only Democrat audi bly voting against him was Mr. McCreery, of Kentucky. That the other Democratic Senators endorsed him by silence is simply preposterous. They knew full wel 1 that their voices were nugatory, and so, permitted him to be initiated without a useless waste of breath. Be this as it may, what we have said against Gorham has been founded upon the denunciation of the Radical press. If the man Gorham is truthfully pictured by the Missouri Democrat , lie is worse than Forney, and the Senate is worthy of its Sec retary. If the Democrat spoke falsely, what guarantee can the Radical journals produce on the score of honesty ? Which is the mud-puddle—the Radical press or the Radical Senate? If Gorham is inno cent, his party journals are libelers; if guilty, the Senate is no better thaw a drab. An Error. —Our informant had a con versation with Gov. H. V. Johnson, on Fri day last, and the Governor declared his conviction that the nomination of Chase is the only course to insure success beyond a peradventurc. —Macon Telegraph. We are authorized by Governor John son to state that the gentleman who re ported the above to the Macon lelec/raph totally misunderstood his position. * Gov. Johnson said, or intended to be understood to say, that the salvation of the Govern ment depended upon the defeat of the Rad ical candidate for the Presidency, and that if the nomination of o;tasf. were indispen sably necessary for that purpose, he would cheerfully support him, if nominated by the Convention. The South and the West.—The Mobile Tribune says: “ Presently the vast empire of the West, and all the vast empire which is growing on the Pacific, will speak to us in words of comfort, and we and they will go on to control this country, and New England will have no voice in it, except whining. Any man in a reasonable degree of health will live long enough to find out Jhis fact.” llow Times and Men Change. —Several years ago a certain young United States of ficer was jvilfl—and as unpopular among his ajrmy comrades %s he was reckless.— During the great Crystal Palace exhibition in New York city, he distinguished himself by riding a horse into a hat store, and per formed several other fe.its which at last brought him to a court-martial. The court assembled at Fortress Monroe, the officer was tried and the finding given, but not published—“ guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman.” Informed of the finding, and anticipating its approval, the Ciptain, for such he?,was, went at once to Washington, called hpon the Secretary of War, and made a frank statement of the case. He acknowledged his fault, but said that if punished by the court in the man ner he expected, he would be forever dis graced. In consideration of his position as an officer, and the circumstances con nected with his family, he begged permis sion to resign. The Secretary of War in armed him that such a thing as a resigna after charges had been preferred was un heard of in the annals of military law, and contrary to the rule and practice of the ser vice. But the officer begged on, and finally the Secretary yielded ; the resignation was allowed, and the soldier became a civilian and merchant. That officer was General Ulysses S. Grant, and the Secretary of War ex-Presideut Jefferson Davis. These are the facts as they were related to us by an officer of the United States army. | Charleston J/Veics. A Windfall for William and Mary Col LEGB.— A few weeks fsinee, Bays the Norfolk Virginian , the trustees of this institution re ceived from England a remittance of some SB,OOO, the accumulated proceeds of a legacy left them for the College in 1742, by an English lady by the name of Margaret Whaley. The original legacy was £SO, to be applied by the executors of the Whaley estate to the William and Mary College, and has hitherto been un known or forgotten until accidentally discov ered by a lawyer In searching over some old papers. The Southern Democracy. Already a hue and cry arises from the Radical party about the representation of the Southern Democracy at the New York ('invention. When the Southern delegates shall have been admitted to seats in the convention, and to votes on the questions and nominations, the Jacobin newspaper press wiy find iu Iho proceeding as much occasion tor howling as it did in the action of the seven Republican Senators on im peachment. The meaningless denuncia tions of copperheads ami rebels will be even more prevalent than now; and an in ability to meet broad, national, deinocra'A issues witlt argument will be offset by de nunciation aud blackguardism. What are the real merits of this case as compared with the position taken by the Radical convention recently held in this city? That convention was a representa tive body of a political party that lias used its power, under the disguise of reconstruc tion, to keep the Southern States out of the Union until their votes could be controlled hi favor of radicalism. When tiie roll of States was called in the convention, the names of the Southern States were forgot ten, so strong was the habit of looking upon these States as out of the Union. They were afterwards admitted to seats and votes as States. Delegates from Territories then claimed an admission on equal footing, be cause the Radical party had treated the Southern States practically as Territories. — Indeed, the delegation from Colorado was so admitted, because, forsooth, it would have been a&tate if it had not been for the veto of a President of the United States whom the convention proposed to ignore altogether. Why was it that the Radical Unicago Con vention admitted delegates from certain portions of the South which they do not acknowledge to hea part of the Union? Because they were Radicals. Why is it that, the Radicals already begin to denounce delegates from the same portion of the country to the Democratic Convention as rebels? Simply because they are not Radi cals. Ex Governor Brown, of Georgia, both in • he speech which lie made in the convention aud in casting the vote of his delegation for Grant, declared that the greater part of the Southerners present had been original seces sionists. These men, for the love of office, or for some other gratification of personal interest, sacrificed not merely principle, but t he good of their own people and the dignity of their States to-* rush into an opposite fanaticism as bad as that which led t hem into rebellion. They were original seces sionists, lint they had become second-hand Abolitionists, and were received with arms by l lie Radical Convention. There may be delegates to the Demo cratic Convention who were original seces sionists or took some part in the late war against the Union, though there will be scarcely one so thoroughly identified with the precipitation of the war as c-x Governor Brown, of Georgia. These men will lie de nounced by the Radical press and leaders most unmercifully as traitors, and the De mocracy will be soundly berated lor having anything to do with them. Yet they will be men who, in spite of the inducements held out by Radicalism for parly alliance, have remained true to the principles of lib erty and Union as opposed to despotism aud disunion. In spite of Jacobin bayonets, tlu-y have refused all allegiance to the Jaco bin party, saving that allegiance for a com mon government. They have preferred pre sent guttering, with the prospect of their rights at some future time, to present pros perity at the price of future degradation. The difference between the Southern dele gates to the Chicago Convention and the Southern delegates to the New York Con vention is tliis : The former embraced Radi calism, just as they did secession, from per sonal and unpVinclpled motives ; the latter have remained hue to the Democracy, under the most trying circumstances, because they regard its success as the only surety for the restoration of the Union. Which of the two classes deserve denun ciation as traitors ?—Chicago Times. fCorresponSrrirn emclunirtt Enquirer. A. Talk from Grant’s Father—E is Views on the Negro —Is Opposed to Their Vo ting or Being Ed treated—Thinks the Ne gro Suffrage Plank Will Boat Ulysses. Mineral Point, May 27,1808. On last evening’s train General Grant’s father armed at, this city, and whop it was known, and “ such things are generally known in a very short time,” the leading Radicals of the city came in, and were in troduced to him, and they were making a great fuss over him. At last the conversa tion turned upon politics,'and Gen. Grant’s father said : Gentlemen, there never was such a nomination made as the Radicals have made in nominating my son as Presi dent, and Colfax is a very good man for the position of Vice-President, lie said lie was glad that’ Ben Wade was pot put in as Vice, for lie had not a bit of sense, and talk ed too much, and would have been the means of the Radical ticket losing at least a hundred thousand votes in Ohio—don’t believe in letting negroes vote; says it’s too much l.kc frying to make them equal to the whites, and said the only reason he thought they ought to have been steed for, was financially and politically, not because they were not in their place, for he thought the only place they were fit were as slaves, for they are not able to take care of them selves, and he told a story to illustrate the fact. Said the only way they would work and t in' only way to treat them was by using the whip freely. He thinks the peo ple will be ashamed of giving the negro his freedom. He says General Palmer made a fool of himself at the convention in his speech. He don’t think much of Palmer or ti-,e platform. He says he advised them to leave nigger out of the platform,. for lie told them if they did not they would be beat; and said one of the most disgusting things he ever witnessed was the nigger delegation at the convention at Chicago. If he had his way he would have kicked them out. He said never—no, never—would he be filing for niggers to vote; bethinks the more they are educated the worse it is for them, and says he don’t believe in edit-, eating them. He don’t believe in them voting in the South or any place else.— They had no civil rights at all; this coun try was made to be ruled by white men and not niggers; thinks the Freed men’s Bu reau the greatest swindle the country ever saw. He said he had seen the time when he had nothing to eat, and the United States did not feed him, but he had to work or starve. And so long as t hey indulged the nigger in idleness, the longer they would have to. And said if he bad ten cents, and it would educate a nigger, he would throw it in the tire before they should have it.— Says he thinks it will beat the General, and will be glad if he is defeated. The Murder of Mumford —The New York Courier makes some strange inquiries in regard to the hanging, of Mumford by Brute Butler.— ft asks: Where was Mumford horn—the Mumford wliom Benjaniin F. Butler hanged at New Or leans ostensibly for insulting the American flag—that pailioulnr flag which floated over Butler’s Cotton Custom-House? Where was Mumford born ? In what year did lie and Col. Butler jointly run a faro bank in San Francis co ? How much did Col. Butler owe Mumford when he was hung t And was he bung for the flag or the money ? Who knows ? Who knows his.birth, history, etc.? it is getting to be nearly time to ventilate all the pleasing incidents of the twin brethren Butler in New Orleans. John Bunyan, while iu Bedford jail, was called upon by a Quaker, desirous of making a convert of him. “Friend John, I have come to thee with a message from the Lord, and after having searched for thee iq all the prisons in England, lam glad that 1 have found thee at last.” “If the Lord had sent you,” returned Bunyan, “ you need not have taken so much pains to find me out; for the Lord knows I Jjaye been here for twelve years.” — -• ■ I.VjfcSJUORIA.H.
