CONSTITUTIONALISM.
AUGUSTA. UA. « -
FEIDAT MOBHING, JUNE 4,1869
ASHAMED.
Wc are gratified to learn, from our ex
changes, that a general sentiment of indig
natton has been evoked at the Isorth in
consequence of the insult to the Confederate
dead at Arlington. All parties very
anxious to fix the responsibility .uyou cer
tain civilian members of tlte Grand Army
of the Republic and. vvash their own hand#
clcau of an outrage which has not Md* its
peculiar parallel in the annals of oar coua
try. The nearest approach to it was the
eager quest of the more wolfish Federal
soldiery, during the war, for money—a quest
which sometimes invaded the habitations
of the departed. It was likewise equalled
by Bktlkr’s robbery of the tombs of Gen.
Albert Sydney Johnson and Col. Chak : "
les I). Dreux at Now Orleans. These in
famies had the excuse of war to somewhat
blunt their keen disgrace, but the insult
at Arlington was in a season of profound
tranquillity and under the very eyes of a
President who principally owed his elec
tion to certain magic words prophesying
peace.
From Butler’s speech at Glonec-etor, on
the occasion commemorative of the Federal
dead, we should judge that he,, the robber
of tombs during hostilities, was the chief
instigator of the Arlington outrage. His
voice was still for war. He invoked undy
ing hatred. He not only muttered his
obscene growl over the South, but made it
the more intense when directed against
England, who had presumedly helped the
South. It is well said that the people of
Massachusetts must be changed forsooth if
they respond to Butler’s scream of ven
geance. They forgave the power that sent
Indians to massacre their women and chil
dren in the first revolution. It ought not
to be so hard to forgive the loss of a few*
fishing smacks of Gloucester, during the
Confederate struggle. The Baltimore Bun
says : . * >
“ That Massachusetts did forget ami for- •
give the first and greater. of these wrongs
is evident from the (act that, in thd vr.it Os
1812 between the United States aim 'Eng
land, the Senate of Massachusetts passefr
a resolution that it was unbecoming to re
joice in American naval victories, over the
English ; that the press and pulpit fulmina
-I,ions of the State were to the same effect;'
that when Dacres, the English naval com
mander, whom Captain Hull defeated, was
brought a prisoner lo Boston, lie received
a more cordial welcome there than Hull,
his captor.”
We presume the people of Massachusetts
have greatly changed, indeed, since they
have so honored a Butler, whose dis
honor is everywhere else proverbial. The.
spirit of vindictiveness, then, that soared
over the codfish souls of Gloucester was
the same foul spirit that flapped 'its dusky
vans over the thirty graves at Arlington.
The only man who conspicuously ap
proached Butler in this bravo business
was a Rev. Mr. Biurman, a Unitarian,
•\v Kb-thus Bpbke before a congregation of
the’Graiid Army of the Republic :
“When on the Fourth of July tlte Re
public pagl special honor L» Benedict
Arnold’ Qt'jfclHf ('.hriijtuyh Churches, ,on
Easter "Sunday,- did reverence "to Judas
Iscariot, it would Ik fit and proper that the
loyal millions should on tills day honor the
memories of those who fell to maintain
slavery and destroy the Union.”
The New York .Express points out that
the illustration is as contemptible as the
mail that made it. It further shows that
the thirty unknown Confederates who sleep
at Arlington, were at least intrepid* and
open foes and hold «o fellowship with
Arnold (ff Judas, both of whom had some
of the characteristics of the poltroon.
The Express continues:
“Judas Iscariot was a sneaking and se
cret -betrayer of Christ, ajul Anally betrayed
him for money—but here are men who
freely died in a cause which they believed
to be right—and a miscalled minister of
the Gospel—an unbeliever in the Prince of
Peace, declares that not even a fading flow
er shall be placed as a token of forgiveness
upon the grave of such a man. If this
Rev. Mr. Bharman should be tried by the
strict Mosaic law of God, instead of the
forgiving and merciful law of Christ, what
will become of him and all such cold-blood
ed men, at the day of judgment?”
Even Forney was moved to something
like nobility of soul when he penned this
paragraph:
“ But let us not forget, either to-morrow
or tlx* day that succeeds to it, that there is
a duty only second to that of gratitude for the
Union dead. I mean that of forgiveness for
their late enemies sleeping at their side. Pledg
ed to peace with the lining , :we cannot war
with the dead. All our statutes breathe ulti
mate pardon to the worst offenders. There, is
no such thing in this land of law and liberff/
as revengeful punishment."
That was wonderful in Forney, and,
had it been allowed to stand in isolated
generosity, it would have been placed to
his eternal credit. But the man’s mind is
tortuous, and so, in the very same issue of
his paper we And the following paragraph :
“ Considerable comment having been
made on the proposed intention of one or
two posts of the Grand Army of the Re
public to not pass by the rebel gra.ves in
the memorial services of Decoration Day,
it is but proper to say that this idea, or re
flection, has been abandoned. The time Will
come when the Union soldier, without en
dangering the cause of loyalty, can do honor
to the memory of the men who were brave
enough to meet him in battle, but it is not
now. Wait until the traitors, both to the
North and South, the men who would not
light for their country, and were afraid to
fight against it, have passed away.”
Poor wretch! He blundered curiously
into a gracious utterance, but immediately
apologized for his glimpse at virtue us soon
as the mandate of the G. A. 11. confronted
him. **
How refreshing the contrast between
such demonical expressions and the Chris*
tian expostulations which we cull from
the latest papers. Chief Justice Chase
writes: .
“ May we not indulge the, hope that ere
long we who adhered to the national cause
will be prompt also to join in commemo
rating the heroism of our countrymen who
fell on the other side '(
“.The dead are not dead. They have
only gone before, and now soe eye to
eye. Why may not we all borrow from
etheir sacred graves oblivion of past differ
nces, and henceforth unite in noble and
generous endeavor to assure the honor and
welfare of our whole country, of all her
States and of all her citizens ?” #
The New York Ifprald, of the 31st May,
says:
“On such an occasion, and during a mo
ment of such solemn approach towards
complete national reunion, we were pained
to publish in our columns yesterday the
statement that United States marines were
detailed on Saturday for duty Arlington
Heights churchyard, under orders to pre
• vent the decoration of tjie graves of the
Confederate dead interred there. Is this
really true? The men on both sides were
born under one flag; they spent many a
year of boyish sport in company; in an un
happy moment they were estranged by the
machinations of selfish politicians ; family
disunion, even .to death, ensued; but who
attempts to continue this division after
death? Did General Grant know of the
order given to the marines in Arlington ?”
We quote from tho Washington corres
pondence of the Herald:
“ The people demand to know from
whence t hese orderfapame, that the respon-J
sibiltey may be pUtfßl where it should rest. 1
yiu ydamancl to know whether a sffbordi-]
mite can shape thu* the*olicy of • govern-J
ment, or whether the head of theGowernM
me lit and the army has functioned thra acra
and thus explains and interprets his Qracu-1
lar ‘.Let us have peace.’ They demand to
know for what purpose were these dead
Confederates burled there and how long
they are to remain? Was it that they
should be thus insulted, and are they to
remain there as long as our nation lives to
be on every anniversary literally trodden _
under foot by the uniformed representatives
of the Government, pointed out as an ex
ample that we will wreak vengeance ever
Upon the bodies of dead erieipics. The
course pursued at Arlington is in strong
contrast with-that which prevailed at Al
exandria yesterday. There all tiie graves
were honored alike, flowers having been
strewn upon Confederate and Uniop dead
wittumt distinction.”
The Philadelphia Age eloquently and in
diguanUy speaks: • f
- Tin: laudable desire of a few tender Re
publicans to ‘ let the dead past bury its
deptr did not, it seems, meet with any
favor among ‘the rabble of their political
civ, hi.’ There is yet too much bitterness
iu the Radical heart, to sanction any such
generdui proceeding. Strew!nga few pale,
fragrant* flowers over the graves of a gal
lant loe, might ‘ endanger the cause of loy
al I y!' There is no telling what damage
such mistaken generosity might possibly
occasion. The primrose might turn to
powder, and the heartsease might bristle
into a bayonet. Hence, let the heavy hoof
or the conqueror trample on the rebel
dead—let childhood, that was summoned
to take part in the decoration ceremonies,
learn hatred, not forgiveness—and let all
the nobler emotions of humanity be s|ifled
by its darker and meaner passions, which
are still needed to fire the Northern heart
a»d keep the Radical plunderer at the pub
lic crib. He who could seriously advocate
such a doctrine, and, at such a time as this,
could contemptuously by a soldier’s
grave, though a rebel slept beneath, with-.,
out letting a floyver fall upon the swelling
turf,is a wretch 4 whom, ’twere base flatte
ry lo call a man.’ Nature, in her recurring
smoothes down with gentle Hand

greater depth of worldly vision, selfishly
and cruelly seeks to keep alive the bleeding

All these atoue, m a great degree, for the
beastly conduct of the marines at Arling
ton, and seem to prove that the Northern
heart be *its not in unison with the ravings
of vengeful demagogues. Granting this to
be time, how strangely must the people of
the North have fallen into cowardly ways
when, though they profess to abhor the
crime, they still honor the criminal, when,
though they have no faith in Butler as
an individual or SiiARjiAN as a private
person, they gulp down with avidity the
political nostrums of the one and the re
ligious prescriptions of the other? Jf

Our New York Correspondence.
New York, May 81.
The financial question continues to force
itself to the front, and on this subject the
Administration see!h% not less blind to its
own interests, and to the drift of opinion,
than was "Johnson on the subject of recon
struction, and, let ns hope, with a rea
conable prospect of as complete an over
throw. The subject is not, however, quite
free from danger to the Democracy, owing
to the divergence of views which were de
veloped in the campaign of 1868; and it is
felt that’steps should be taken at an early
day to consolidate the opinion of the party,
and ,to eliminate some honest, but crued
notions, which have been expressed by
some Democrats, but whose latest cham
pion is Ben Butler.
We must get back to tile old Democratic
platform. The points now urged upon the
Democrats for universal acceptance and
concentrated action are these: 1. The spe
cial exemptions in the matter of taxation,
which are accorded to the Federal bond
holders, should.be removed, and this de
scription of property endure its due pro
portion of the burdens of -the Government.
2. The extraordinary privileges Accorded
to tiie national banks ; bouds deposited
with the Federal Government, as security
for notes issued, should uot pay more than
half interest, IS. A tariff for revenue only,
with such incidental protection as may be
equitably afforded, but nothing for protec
tion merely. 4. A sufficient reduction in
the volume of currency as will bring about
a gradual ISut steady approximation to spe
cie payments.
Mr. Boutwell, in obedience to the dicta
tion of the great stock-jobbing interests of
Wall street, and pandering to the unholy
greed of the national banks, has adopted a
policy which plunges the financial future
into greater uncertainty than ever. With
Grant’s administration pledged to efforts
towards a resumption of specie payments,
Mr. Boutwell refuses to adopt the only
means to tliat end now in his power. There
are reasons for this which are not apparent
to the cursory reader. The great railway
cliques are in the midst of efforts at
consolidating and extending their lines
and increasing their •eilities for business.
They desire, of course, a glut of. money
and reckless speculation. Through Jay
Cooky, and others of that class, who
consider a national debt a national
blessing, Mr. BoutVvcll lias been drawn
into the toils of these great cliques,
and is doing their bidding. The remon
strances of Mr. A. T. Stewart, of Mr. S. B.
Chittenden, of Mr. Geo. Opdyke, and of
other leading Republican magnates and
leading business men, have fallen on un
willing ears, aifcl the only modification of
Mr. Boutwell’s suicidal policy which they
have been able to effect is the sale of an
additional million of dollars in gold week
ly. He resolutMy refuses td sell gold for
three per cents.
There are indications that Mr. Bout
well’s blunders will organize against him,
and probably against Grant’s administra
tion, the most effective elements in the Re
publican party, apd the Democracy have
but to take strong and decided grounds on
this subject to put itself in a position to
secure victory in 1872,'with a fair prospect
of carrying the House in 1870.
There is rfo longer any wisdom in keep
ing questions pertaining to reconstruction
in the foregrdhhd. . Most people at the
North feel that the jnatter is beyond the
control of Federal laws, and that the final
adjustment of relations must be a work of
time, in which right and justice are tolera
bly certain to win. The original white
people of the South, with their compact
ness, their unity of* sentiment,.and other el
ements in their favor, cannot be long kept
out of their own. All that ki wanted is a
good deal of-patlttce. Horace Greeley
wrote a letter to a Republican in West
Virginia, which tells the Whole story. The
youths of t»e South, every, year cowing
Os age and entering upon the field of ac-
Mmme* OiPqucHtions arising out of the
rate war, the South and West must for
years be antagonistic. On the financial is
sues to which I have adverted, they may
become as one man, if they are discussed
The decoration of the graves of the sol
diers of the Federal **imes who, to the num
ber off several thousand, lie buried in the
several cemeteries in the vicinity of this
city, is a gross perversion of a worthy ob
ject. The bummers and paper heroes of
the late army have an organization called
“Grand Army of the Republic.” What It is,
may be judged from the fact that Logan
and Sickles are its chief officers. It was
proposed that the so-called “decoration”
should take place yesterday, accompanied
with a grand procession, an oration, and
other ceremonies. The parsons denounced
poaement till Monday. The “ bummers”
resisted, having for once common sense on
their side; the parsons insisted, and the re
sult has been a m fiddle all round* aud -a
positive' failure, partly owing to the un
willingness of respectable people to follow
such leadership.
We are having rather cool and showery,

Presbyterians of either School, both Old
and New, will learn with interest that a
union between the two has been effected,
though, as may he supposed, not without
some wrangjtngs sharp, and no inconside
'rable opposition.
Thirty-two years have elapsed since the
Old School majority, hi an' arbitrary man
ner, excluded the New School minority
from their convention, these proceedings
on .their part, being afterwards sanctioned
by a decision of the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania, which left the assembly in
possession of the colleges, theological sem
inaries, and other property.
Time, however, lias‘moderated, much of the
bitter feeling which then existed between
the differing branches; and, on the part of
the New"School especially, there has been
a growing desire for re-union, and this,
notwithstanding opposition, has been es.
footed, ' .
Some stir has been lately made, especial

Cott, and is re]>orted to'possess, Ju an

Not exactly in Now York, but just across

which is carried round the room and ad
ministered to the faithful, by the elders.
The especial duty of this colony is to re
ceive and assist forward on their journey
to Salt Lake, emigrants of this sect from
Great Britain..* Within the past year,seven
hundred have been thus received and sent

[From the Huntsville Advocate (Rad).
Gen. Joseph Wheeler.
A few weeks since we published in the
Adeocale an article from the Montgomery
Journal, iu reference to Gen. Longstreet’s
letter, Gen. Wheeler’s connection with it,
&c. Gen. W. stated to us that this did him
injustice, and we then requested that he
should give his owtf version of the matter,
which we would publish with pleasure.—
This he has done in the following letter:
Hall of Commercial Committee, >
Memphis, Tenn., May 19,1869. ) .
W. B. Figures, Esq.-
Dear Sir : Your favor of the 80th ult.,
requesting me to correct the statements re
farding Gen. Longstreet and myself, was
uly received.
The cordial relations which had always
existed between the General and myself,
and the natural aversion I felt against say
ing anything otherwise than complimenta
ry and pleasant of one to whom, with the
entire South, I was bound by almost sacred
associations, caused me to hesitate before
making a reply, confident that Qeu. L.
would hasten to relieve me of the reflection
which the article contained.
I have not the article with, me, having
sent my only copy to Gen. Longstreet in a
letter I wrote him some three weeks since.
My recollection is that it made these as
sertions :
First. That I recommended a change in
the letter, and Hum urged Gen. L. to pub
lish it at once. TTiis is an error. My en
tire knowledge that such a letter was con
templated was obtained at two private in
terviews specially solicited by Gen. Long
street, when, at his request, I read a letter
he had written to Col. Parker.
My opinion being asked, I at first ad
vised that he should not reply at all, or at
least that he confine himself to the ex
pression of moderate pnd conservative
ideas, and finally, seeing he was determined
to write something, I urged him by all
means to avoid any reference to the Re
publican party.
The second statement, that my visits to
his office ceased, or that I avoidedffiim af
ter the publication of the letters, is iacor
rect and needs no comment.
The third statement, that he followed me
into a store, and taxed me with avoiding
pirn, is entirely devoid of foundation.
In all conversations between Gen. Long
street and my«flf after the time alluded to,
he never in any manner intimated to me
that my conduct towards him had changed
in any way whatever, and the last time we
were together in the same city, some eight
months after the letters were published, our
intercourse was agreeable and cordial, as
it had ever been before. The tenor of my
political talks with Gen. Longstreet was
the expression of my private opinion, that
the only way for the South to obviate de
structive legislation by Congress was to
use most scrupulous care in preventing any
occurrences which would give the slightest
color t>f grotmd for claiming that such
legislation was necessary, and I suggested
that some course might be Adopted to cor
rect the iklse impressions circulating in the
North, and alienating fro® us masses of
friends in all parts of the Union.
Though the views I expressed at the time
were of the most temperate character, yet
nothing further from my ideas than advis
ing Gen. Lohgstreet’s joining and assisting
a party then threatening all social order,
and every element of prosperity in the
Southern States.- On the contrary, I told
Gen. L. that &s far as I and his other per
sonal friends could explain, he would be
credited as he professed, with an honest
desire to promote the welfare of his coun
try, but beyond that limits sphere his
views would be interpreted by his words,
and his motives would be harshly judged,
and severely criticised.
, Thanking yon for the desire manifested
to correct the errors referred to, I am, very
respectfully, your'obedient servant,
