ONS JL'IT CTTIONALIST. aug-tjsta. Q-a. SUNDAY MORNING, NOV. 15 1868 PEAOTIOAL THOUGHTS FOE THE FUTUEE. It gratify us to learn that our remarks under caption have attracted some attention, and have drawn responses from practical minds. They were penned not with a view to retract or abate past political expressions as to the theory and workings of government, but to _ direct the minds of our people from past sorrows to future hopes—from unavailing regrets over the irrevocable to practical efforts to im prove the advantages left them and thus “ take a bond from Pate.” From thig spirit otpractical philosophy a just tolerance of the merely theoretical opinions of others will arise, and thus give birth to a peace of mind which has not for a long time been allowed to prevail. It is controversy that begets bigotry, and bigotry is the fruitful mother of most of the persecutions that have afflicted and disgraced human nature. Les controversy exert its force on practical points whether in politics or in material pursuits. The claims of the former on the attention of intelligent minds cannot be, and ought not to be, ignored. But there are periods when politics may be allowed an undue portion of public atten tion, at the expense of interests of great and immediate practical importance. Such a period is now upon us. It is the duty of the press to recognize the fact, and to guide the people, for whose benefit it labors, into fields of practical and profitable industry. In this work the press of all parties and shades of opinion can co-operate. It is a common platform upon which all patriotic citizens can stand. If in so occupying it, the bitterness of party strife can be molli fied, society will be none the less prosper ous and happy in consequence. In accordance with these views, we wel come to our columns the following commu nication from a prominent citizen of Geor gia, Whose dearest interests are involved in the welfare of the South: Editor Constitutionalist : Some friend kindly sent me your paper of the sth of November, containing your leader headed "*• Practical Thoughts for the Future.” Without -wishing to disparage the press, 1 must say it is seldom I find a political article that in its tone so fully meets my approval. In this case, it is not the less esteemed that it comes from a political adversary. While Ido not concur in ail your views of policy, I dis cover throughout your essay so manifest a de sire for a cessation of party hostilities, and snch entire willingness to accept the popular choice of a President, so lively a hope that his administration will not be inimical to the Southern people, that 1 am prompted to greet you as a practical lover of your country, aud a fearless adviser of your section. Surely, we have had full enough of strife and bitterness to satisfy all, save such as thrive (aud flourish) on popular passion. Tbc tempest has subsided it is time tbat the storm-birds should disappear. Too long have our dissatisfied people sought relief in fruitless complaints. Some have vain ly imagined that a party triumph would prove a panacea for all the ills of Southern planter life. They seemed to have forgotten that in of slavery the vigilance, ot an expe- overseer was essential to the success of the cotton grower. How shall the watchful eye and guiding hand of the proprietor or manager be dispensed with now ? Let no one suppose for a moment that the great majority of the freedtuen do not still require the direc tion and care of a superior intelligence. With constant supervision and examples of industry yyM? frugality, the labor that produces the. |K?lee of the South is as available as it was on — -►the compulsory system. If the young and middle-aged will forsake the towns and vil lages, with their dissipations and habits of in dolence, and betake themselves to active plan tation life, bringing to their aid the improved implements of husbandry, and the best test ed and approved commercial fertilizers, not neglecting to apply all domestic manures, the agricultural products of the South will be greatly augmented, and the sum of popular conteut be increased beyond computation. No political changes can possibly supply the neglect of these industrial agencies. Politics may sustain a favored few ; but to our neglect ed but beautiful mother earth must the mass look lor their daily bread. You sav rightly, “ It need not be feared that General Grant will bring his influence lo bear against the material prosperity of tlie Southern States.” His broad, deep, catholic love of country, and the benevolence of his character, forbid the idea of bis indulging a mere sectional or partisan feeling. He meant what he said, in his simple but sublime invocation, “ Let ns have Peace.” The call will not go unheeded. Peace will come, yes, will come to bless and to cheer the wearied spirits of the desponding, and to blast and destroy the hopes of selfish agitators, no matt r in what political habili ments attired, who batten on the feuds of a dis tracted people. Never hesitate to do justice to an adversary. It is a noble triumph over one’s selfishness. The greater the adversary, the greater the triumph. There are honest Republicans, even in the South—Republicans who love the sunny land that gave them birth, as dearly as can the most ardent Democrat. They thought they were serving it, in voting for General Grant. Time will determine the wisdom of their choice. Meanwhile, continue to place beforeyonr read ers lessons of energy, of hope, and patience, not omitting charity for the deserving, what ever their creed—wherever they dwell. A Native Southerner. A SPECIMEN MINISTER. The Saints of Radicalism are just now making universal and pious howl over the courtesy shown English dignitaries by Revehdy Johnson, who, despite his politi cal crotchets, is a great intellect and a per fect gentleman. In the very nick of time to soothe their wounded feelings, conies Charles A. Washburn, Minister to Par aguay, who has, in ddie subjoined official note to the valorous and fate-defying Presi dent of the gallant little Republic of Para guay, shown himself to be at once a brag gart and a marplot. The concluding pas sages of this extraordinary screed of di plomacy are tremendous. After the wild and foolish liunt of John Surratt, it would be curious and sublime to see United States detectives hanging like sleuth-hounds on the trail of Lopez as he flees through the morasses of Paraguay and transcends the Atlantic. Such men as Revehdy Johnson dignify the Republican party; such men as Minister Washburn bring it into con tempt. But mark the difference. Johnson is the butt of their sarcasm and Washburn ■will, no doubt, extort their liveliest eulogy. Read and tremble: [copy. | United States Steamer Wasp, j Off Angostura River, Paraguay, t September 12, 1868. ) To His Excellency Marshal Lopez , President of Paraguay: Sir : When Captain Kirkland was about leaving this vessel yesterday, to bid farewell to your Excellency, I gave him a memorandum of certain things to which I requested him to call your attention. Captain Kirkland informs me that on reaching your headquarters he found he had omitted to take this memoran- dum with him, and therefore was unable to comply fully with my request, having only given the paper a hasty perusal. I therefore take the liberty, at the moment of my depart ure, of deviating from diplomatic customs, and sending a personal note directed to your Ex cellency. In this memorandum I suggested that he might show you a letter General Webb, <&r Minister tn R»<r, from wfeleh it would appear tbat he had almost come to a rupture with tbat Government, by reason of its refusal to permit this vessel to pass above the squadron. This he had done on his own re sponsibility, without waiting for orders from the United States Government, which, on hear ing of the outrage, has doubtless taken the most energetic measures to enforce its rights and extricate its Minister from a most fright ful position. This letter, which you saw, proves how much truth there was in the decla ration of your ex-Minister for Foreign Affairs, Jose Berges—tbat I was in collusion with Gen. Webb, and in the interest and pay of the Brazilians. I have in my possession several letters for Dr. Carreras, which I yesterday requested Cap-, taiu Kirkland to deliver, but which he refused to do unless I would open them, less he, too, should be accused of conveying treasonable correspondence. I herewith send the letters, however, as I do not belieye that any treasona ble correspondence has ever passed through my hands for or to anybody. In fact Ido not believe there has ever been any conspiracy. The declarations of Berges, your two broth ers, Venancioand Benigno, and lienor Urdepil leta, ns given in the notes of your two hist Ministers of Foreign Relations, in so far as they implicate me of having any knowledge of a conspiracy, are entirely false, and you know it; and you know that not one of them would confirm or affirm the declaration imputed to him if he were out of your power, but would deny it in toto, aud declare that be bad never made it, or that he had done so under torture. Declarations of that kind, your Excellency ought to know, will have no weight outside of Paraguay. Not one word of them will be be lieved, and that aIJ may not be denied by them, you must not only kill off all the persons who have made them, but all by whom they were extorted. Before finally leaving Paraguay, it is my duty to make my solemn protest against the arrest of those two members of my Legation, Porter Cornelius Bliss and George F. Master man. Their arrest in the street, as they were going with me from the Legation to pass on board the steamer, was as gross a violation of the laws of nations as would have been their seizure by force in my house. It was an act not only against my Government, but against all civilized powers, and places Paraguay out side the pale of the family of nations; and for this act you will be regarded as a common enemy, one denying allegiance to the laws of nations. You will also be regarded as a common enemy for having seized and made prisoners, and loaded with fetters, nearly all the prisoners in Paraguay, and afterwards entered their houses and taken away their money on the miserable pretext, that finding less iu your treasury than you expected, those who had any money in the country must, therefore, have robbed it from the Government. Your threat to Captain Kirkland, ou his first arrival, that you would keep me a prisoner in the country, would be duly represented to my Government, aud I only wish to confirm his reply to you, that had you done so, my Gov ernment would have hunted you not only thr ugh all South America, but throughout all Europe. Your obedient servant, Charles A. Washburn. From the Columbus Enquirer. Another Artful Dodge. The following letter from Gov. Bullock _has been handed to us Executive Department, ) State of Georgia, > Atlanta, November 9,1868.) John E. Bacon,Esq., Co-ambus, Ga.: ~ Sir •. I am directed by His Excellency TBe Governer to acknowledge the receipt of a communication under date 35th ult., from yourself, as President.of the Trustees of the “ Muscogee Asylum for the Poor,” and in which you enclose an extract from the Co lumbus Enquirer giving “ a true statement of the condition of the poor in this (that) county,” and asking to be informed in what way the Trustees “ are to remedy this con dition of affairs.” In the extract enclosed iu your communi cation it is stated that “ the ordinary of the county, when applied to for funds to pro vide provisions for the poor, stated that Gov. Bullock’s recent order had put a stop to the collection of the county tax ; that a large sum which he was expecting to re ceive before the election had been cut off by that order ; and that the county treasury was empty, and could not furnish the means for the continued support of these paupers.” The Governor directs me to say in reply that the proclamation to which it is pre sumed reference is above made, and the only one issued upon the subject, suspends the collection merely of the poll tax ; and that, under thq constitution, the poll tax is lim ited to one dollar : aud, further, that it is appropriated exclusively for educational pur poses, by the constitution under which we are now acting. The statement, therefore, imputed to the ordinary, as to the suspension of the collec tion of the county tax, must necessarily be incorrect; and you will perceive that the proclamation referred to lias in no wise in terfered with or embarrassed the finances of the Institution under your charge. Very respectfully, Eugene Davis, Secretary Executive Department. 111 Judge Duer’s notification to voters that they would be required to pay then taxes before voting in the Presidential elec tion, he expressly stated that it was the taxes of 1867 which they were required to pay. This notice was dated September 34th. In Gov. Bullock’s proclamation ordering the suspension of the collection of the taxes (dated October 23d) he referred particularly to “ taxes levied under authority of the Constitution of 1865,” i. e. the poll taxes for the year 1867. Now these taxes could not have been appropriated exclusively to edu cational mirposes by the constitution of 1868, because that constitution had not been framed when they were levied. So it Will be seen that neither Judge Duer nor this paper was incorrect in the statement made in reference to the cutting oft of county revenue, that might be applied to the support of the paupers, by the Gov ernor’s proclamation. The Governor’s ideas about the taxes under the two constitutions are either greatly confused or his memory Is strangely defective in reference to his own proclamation. Up to the appearance of that proclama tion, the county officers were relying upon the payment of the poll taxes of 1867, before the Presidential elec’ ion, to replenish their county treasuries and to meet indebtedness already incurred. It was plain that there was no other way to make the great body of the negroes pay their poll taxes, than by requiring payment as a preliminary to voting. There was every reason to believe that the taxes would be paid for them by politicians, to secure their votes. We had some intimations about arrangements to be made for paying them iu this county; and the fact that their registration fees in this city have been assumed by Radical politi cians to enable them to vote in the city election, is strongly suggestive that the rich Radical party in the Union would not have permitted the loss of their votes in the Presidential election for default in payment of their poll taxes. A Tough Case.—A little darkey was recent ly found sitting on the step of a fashionable house, notfar from Saratoga, crying pitifully. “ What’s de ranlter wid you ?” asked a Colored woman. “De matter’s null —double trouble all over dehouse. Fadder am druuk—mudder am gone home wid cloze —sis broke de looking glass wid de broomstick—de baby got her eyes full ob kyan pepper, and little Ned Anthony put de mustard on his hair for goose grease; I put6alt iti my tea for white sugar, and it makes me sea-sick ; de dog licked Ned’s face, and got his mouth (nil ob mustard, and lies under de bed a howlin’; de kitten got her head in de milk-j ot, and 1 cut her head off to sabe de pitcher, aud den 1 hab to break de pitcher to get de head out, and de way I’ll get licked when mudcier comes home for setting de bed afire, will be a sin. The Latest Herald Sensation. [Washington CorresponflencaNew York Herald. The movement in favor of giving Grant the unanimous vote Qf the Electoral College seems to be assuming ashape.that promises results. Several Democratic politicians, mostly from the South, have pat their heads together and agreed to recommend to the Electors of. the States which have given Seymour a majority to cast their votes tn favor of Grant for President. They urge this step as a grand stroke of policy for the Democrats to adopt at the present juncture. By casting aside party considerations in this instance and giving Grant a unanimous vote for the Presidency they contend he would be lilted above all petty distinctions of Democrat, Republican, Conservative and Radical, and made to feel that he is the President of the whole people, aud as such free to deal with the issues of the hour in a spirit of enlarged and liberal statesmanship. Acting upon this idea—which, by the way was thrown out in these dispatches some weeks ago—these Democratic politi cans have prepared a number of letters, addressed to leading men North and South, suggesting the prompt adoption ot this plan. The following is a copy of one of these letters, which has been shown to me: Washington, D. C., Nov. 8,1868. General: In my judgment the wisest thing the Democracy could now do would be to throw their entire electoral vote for Gen. Grant, as indicative of the fact that should he pursue a liberal, generous and magnanimous course they will sustain him. It would also have the effect of not leaving him altogether in the hands of the adverse faction, and would doubtless strengthen any purpose he may entertain towards the Conservative sentiment of t'ie country.— This vote cannot possibly do Seymour any good, and thrown in the manner suggested would at least produce a conciliatory im pression. Letters similar to this have been sent to Gov. Stephenson, of Kentucky; A. H. Ste phens, of Georgia; Wade Hampton, Gen Gordon, Gen. Preston, Robert Tyler, of Ala bama, and ex-Senator C. C. Clay. These are all Southerners, but Wam informed prominent Democratic politicians in the North have also been notified of the move ment and urged to go into it promptly.— Whether the movement will really amount to anything or not remains to be seen. The same objection is made to the project as was urged against a change of front after the October elections, namely, that to vote for Grant would involve a demoralization, rank and file, of the Democratic party. The answer that the new movement party make to this objection is that the condition 01 things is such now as to require extraordi nary action. The national risk is imminent; casting a few electoral votes for Seymour is a mere barren compliment, whereas, giv ing the unanimous vote of the Electoral College to Grant is insuring the friendship of the next President for the suffering peo ple of the South. Butler’s Opinion of Grant.— A Mr. William Jones, of Neenah, Wisconsin, is stated by the Boston Evening Transcript, of the 31st ult., to have recently made a politi cal speeoh at the place o? his residence, in whieh is given the subjoined epistle: Bay View, near Lanesville, Mass., ) August 25, 1867. j My Dear Sir : 1 have read your letter to Mr. Smith, upon the proposed nomination of Grant, with much interest. Its criticisms 011 Grant’s career are just, but what will you do? You can not get it or any thing else concerning Grant that is not laudatory published, and why? Because both sides are courting him for the Presidency, and so the truth must not be told. We are, I fear, to try the experiment again that we did with Johnson— i. e., nominate a man lor sup posed availability, without knowing his principles or fitness. Grant’s election will be a misfortune, because it will put iu a man without a head or heart, indifferent to human suffering and impotent to govern. I am, yours truly, Ben.t. F. Butler. W. Jones, Neenah, Wis. [From the New York Sun. The .Annexation of Cuba. orand revolutionary expedition. The air of our city was filled yesterday room ing yj!lt startling rumors of a secret fillihuster in<r project An foot to annex by force the island of Cuba to the United States. The details ap peared iu one of the mo uing journals, with such apparent accuracy that men believed by faith what otherwise they “ couldn’t see.” To coo! this feverish excitement, aud allay any ap prehensions of a foreign war growing out of this scheme, we present onr readers with the soothing antidote of some reliable information on the subject. A few mornings since an advertisement ap peared in one of our city papers requesting all cit : zens, military and unval officers, and others who were interested in the annexation of Cuba to this country, to call at 446 Broome street, where they could be furnished with confiden tial communications. Led by an irresistible impulse to be in the confidence of the projec tors of such a scheme, our reporter visited the designated headquarters, and introduced him self to Col. Gibbons, General-in-Chief of the Liberating Army of Cuba. The headquarters were found to be a real estate office, with pla cards posted around the walls, “To let and for sile.” The only ornamentation was at one end of the office in the shape of a portrait of Jef ferson Divis, of thejC. 8. A. The Colonel him self, a powerful, deep-chested man, with pleas ant eyes and solid jaw, sat in an armchair talk ing earnestly in low voice with a gentleman at his side. Our reporter having stated his object, the Colonel volunteered to give a!l the infor mation sought for. Resting himself upon the arms of his chair, he said : inis colonel’s statement. “ The scheme we have in view is perfectly legitimate, and there is noLbing but minor de tails to be kept from the public. Our object is simply to assist in making Cuba a Republic, and adding her to the United States, where she properly belongs. There is to be no thieving, robbery, murder, or flifibustering about it. Why, seventy per cent, of the inhabitants of the island are in favor of throwing off their alle giance to Spain, and already 12,000 revolution ists are in arms. We propose to join them, and the object is laudable. As for the report which appeared in the World, it is almost en tirely false. No reporter representing himself as such lias had an interview witli me. I used no such language as he reports. His figures are all wrong, and his information absurd. I think the reason of that paper for putting tnc in such a ridiculous light is because I fought against it in the late campaign.” TIIE COLONEL H\S SEEN WAR. After this illustration the cornel, in reply to an inquiry, stated that he served in the One Hundredth New York Volunteers, and that none but trustworthy men were enlisted in the present cause. TnE LIBERATING ARMY. “We now have,” he said, “ten thousand men enrolled, and in less than thirty days they will be landed in Cuba. This force is divided into lour divisions, under able commauders, aud for the present I am General-in-Chief, or ‘ad interim ,’ I might say”—aud the Colonel smiled at the joke. “ The starting poiuts will be Portland, Boston, New York and Key West, where the forces will concentrate. From there it is but a six hours’ sail to the island. The Spanish regulars there are few, aud in the face of our old soldiers they will not stand. — This annexation scheme is entirely my own. I thought of it two years ago, and have been working at it ever since. Our organization now is complete, and events in Cnba are ripe (or revolution and annexation. This is all legitimate. The United States Government can’t touch ns, and won’t. The Marshals will be instructed to look for ns anywhere lint on the coast. ‘There is no snch word as fail.’ I have been to see Santa Anna’s age at and mumy Spaniards and Cubans, who are enthusiastic in thf cause. Santa Anna, however, is shaky— caD’t trust him. Our boys are all true Union blue. I am’ going on to Washington soon, where I have many friends in and out of the Government who sympathize wiih this move-, ment. I entertain no tears of its success.” In closing, he remarked; “ The Sun is the only paper to which I have furnished any offi cial information on this subject, and IJcnow it will present me and the noble cause in which I am engaged in a just and lavorable light be fore the public.” Having acknowledged the distinguished hon or of an official interview, our reporters left the headquarters of the Liberating Army ot Cuba, having forgotten, however, until too late, to enroll his name upon the list of heroes yet to be. The army of .he United States, according to the Register for 1868, consists of five artillery, 'ten cavalry and iorty-five infantry regiments, which, with the staff, comprise 49,938 enlisted mec and 2,948 eomcndsioced officers, the latter including one general, one lieutenant general, five major generals and nineteen brigadiers.
