SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 13, 1869
THE NEGRO AND THE TRADES
UNIONS.
As President Grant invades the privileges
of the Trades Unions by forcing the negro
upon them, it only needs some strong lea
der to grasp the opportunity thus present
ed and create anew party which shall
crush Radicalism. Or, if it be impossible
or undesirable to form anew party, let the
Democracy take thisyiatter in hand, and,
by judicious and prompt action, combine
the working elements into a tremendous
leverage for future triumphs. There ean
be no doubt as to N Grant’s policy and the
policy of his party; it is a strong infusion
of the negro in all the ramifications of
society, polities and trade. To combat this,
the Trades Unions must lie appealed to;
they must be persuaded that the integrity
of their organization depends upon an
overthrow of the Administration at the
polls and that nothing short of a Demo
cratic victory can save them and save the
country from pollution. The Cincinnati
Gazette is credited witli an article pointing
to the determination of the Radicals to
carry this new irrepressible conflict into
the halls of Congress and to array the domi
nant party against all Trades Unions. Re
plying to this the New York Herald says :
“ If this be true, a single campaign will
be apt to demolish the dominant party ; for
in such a contest these Trades Unions can
probably bring, in response to the first long
roll of the drum, half a million of voters
to the polls, ignoring all other political dis
tinctions.”
Now here is the mass to be worked upon
in order to defeat Grant and preserve the
country as a decent Federation. Senator
Sprague has a dim, demagogical percep
tion of the true method of redness, but lie
is so squeamish about the negro that lie
cannot grapple with him as the time de
mands. Perhaps as Grant progresses in
his negro-mania, the very intensity of the
evil will cure itself by forcing a different
result. But what slaves the Northern
masses seem to be, when they gently pro
test against being amalgamated with Sambo,
and yet sullenly submit to the hateful con
nexion all the same. Poor fellows! We
presume, as General Toombs says, their
“ Indignation is fatigued.” There be laud
eels as well as water eels that grow ac
customed to being skinned alive.
THE PEACE JUBILEE HUMBUG.
The Baltimore Gazette has this vivid crit
icism of the Boston “ Peace Jubilee:”
“ There is to lie a grand flourish, from
‘ Samson and ‘ Judas Maccabeus' is to be
responsible for ‘ See the Conquering Hero
Comes’—all of which, it will be remarked,
the artillery performance included, is most
appropriate for a great peace festival. The
close of the performance is to be enlivened
by Haydn’s Creation , which, coming as it
does, last, is typical doubtless of some kind
of new birth, of which not a few of those
who will take part in the ceremonies, are
sadly in need.
“ Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, for instance,
than whom none was more bitter and
bloody minded a few years ago, as far as
words were concerned, promises us, per
haps under the influence of this prospective
regeneration, a Hymn of Peace, composed
expressly for ther occasion; and the selec
tion Os the' Prayer from Maxes ~iu Hlgypt,
may, it is barely possible, foreshadow, in
.some way,-the birth of a more kindly feel
ing to the thousands in tin: Sout.U who n.re
totting and struggling under the yoke of
the hardest of task masters.
“The composition of the programme, with
all its typical and mythical mysteries, is
too deep for the ordinary mind. What,
for instance, has a grand Coronation March
to do with peace liberty? And what is
the meaning of the touching allusion, in
tended to be conveyed by the introduction
of ‘ Robert, Uri que j'aime?' Who is this
Bob ? Wlfat is he ? Where does he come
from? What kind of a contract has he
to give out ? What sort of a fat job .lias
lie on hand, that thousands of loyal citi
zens, grateful in advance, should unite to
cry out in one grand voluntary, Robert , toi
que j'aime ?’
“ There is one more selection even more
difficult to understand. Who can tell the
meaning of introducing ‘The harp that
once through Tara’s hall ?’. Has some
wag slipped it in? or is there actually
some one person, among the many who
have taken part in the arrangement for
this festival, who really feels and under
stands the melancholy truth which this
song recalls, that
“ The chord alone that breaks at night
Its talj of rnin tolls.
Thus freedom now so seldom wakes;
The only throb she gives,
Is when some heart, indignant breaks,
To that still she lives."
SitAnp and Quick.— We should say that
Senter ought to beat Stokes for Governor
of Tennessee, since he has it in Ids power,
as Gov. pro tem., to manufacture or destroy
as many votes as he pleases. Stokes
already accuses him of registering 1,500
more than there are men in one county.
Stokes yells, but Stokes would have done
the same thing, if he had had the chance.
When universal suffrage and the. ballot arc
allowed such stuffing with impunity, the
empire is not so far away as many Imagine.
Question and Answer. —The National
Intelligencer is properly horrified at the re
cent scenes of violence which disgraced
the municipal election in that city. It says:
“ How long, how long, we ask, in the
stolidity or blindness of the American peo
ple, will they be allowed to continue? They
have come to be the constant accessories
of Radical rule. When shall that rule,
and with it these and kindred horrors,
have an end?”
Byron has lines to this effect:
“ Bondsmen, know ye not
Who would be tree, themselves must strike the
blow!"
John C. Breckinridge Approves of
Gen. Grant’s Cabinet. —The visit of the
Hon. John C. Breckinridge to Wisconsin is
to look after lands which he owns in the
northern counties of the State, and in con
siderable quantities. Mr. Breckinridge ap
pears to be tin affable gentleman, and was
the centre of attraction at the Newhall yes
terday. Several of the old Democratic
wheel-horses visited him at his room, and
had a talk with him. One gentleman ask
ed him what he thought of Grant and his
Administration, and the reply was that the
President was smart enough to take care
of himself. His Cabinet, while none of the
best, was just such a one as Grant needed,
and was better for his purposes than one
of more talent would be. It was not de
signed to make the Administration a bril
liant one, and Grant’s ambition was to
make it an every-day sort of useful affair.
He was studying the best way to do this,
and Mr. Breckinridge believed he would
succeed in a degree sufficient to make the
people feel easy, although they would be
by no means satisfied.
[Milwaukee Wisconsin.
Secretary Seward.
IUS EXPERIENCE AS A SOUTHERN SCHOOL
TEACHER.
A correspondent x>f the Rochester Ex
press relates the following episode of Secre
tary Seward’s early career, which he had
front the statesman’s own lips:
“Spending an evening at his house a few
years ago, during that strange lull, or po
litical maze that preceded, and as I have
since often thought, to his practical eye
and ear, heralded the four years’ storm of
blood ana fire that, for a little time, at
least, purified the political atmosphere, so
that the Goddess of Liberty was no longer
believed to tie an African slav&; the con
versation at length turned to the ‘irrepres
sible’ subject. I naturally desired and
even hoped to gather from his wisdom
some possible solution of the difficult
problem by other means than the bloody
sacrifice. He had been of the
Empire State, also. United States Senator.
Some of the ablest political papers had is
sued from his pen. He was believed to be
a statesman, a scholar, and a man of
thought. But when helsliowed the true
nature of the difficulties, and their vast
extent, and many complications, and said
honestly that he could see no way to untie
the Gordian knot, the appaling' figure of
tlie 1 irrepressible conflict’—the death of*
slavery or the death of the Republic—was
present as never liefore. I' had perhaps
held this as a theoretic truth, and at times
had uttered it as a note of warning; but
now I felt what that truth meant. He
spoke with deep and heartfelt sympathy
for the South, and, much as Southerners
hated Seward, he was the only friend
that could and would have helped them,
at any sacrifice, had they not been too
demented to be helped by any friend. —
He showed how the evjl had grown up,
till the Southern people could neither en
dure its ills nor suffer the application of
only remedy. ‘ Bad as is the condition of
the blacks,’ said he. ‘ the scourge is not
light elsewhere.’ He then alluded to the
fact that the yellow fever had existed in
New York city under the fostering care of
slavery, as then it did in New Orleans, re
ferring to the deterioration and deprecia
tion of the soil and universal relapse to
barbarism observed everywhere within
slave territory. ‘ But worst of gjl,’ said
he, ‘is the degradation of the mind and
body of the owner of the soil himself under
this blighted process.’ And then, as if to
enliven the conversation, lie said: ‘To
illustrate this point I will relate my ex
perience in school teaching down South.
When I was in my Sophomore year I ran
away from college and went to , in
Georgia, and opened an academy, which
soon prospered under my earnest efforts,
and I soon acquired a great popularity,
and was enjoying the new field of labor
very much, when my father found out my
hiding place and sent for me to return to
college, and I was compelled to leave my.
successful enterprise, to the great sorrow
of my patrons and pupils, who could be
reconciled to my departure only by my
promising them that I would send the best
young mail in the college to take my place.
I returned to my studies as the best I could
do in fulfillment of my promise to my new
found friends in Georgia, sent them my
excellent young friend, Mr. W , of the
senior class, an excellent scholar and a
finished gentleman.
“ After the close of the Congressional
session which had meddled with the tariif,
to the great indignation of the South, on
leaving the Senate, business called me to
New Orleans, and when about to start for
home a great desire possessed me to return
through Georgia and visit the scene of my
school teaching, and see how the academy
and my talented successor had prospered.
My course in the Senate was known at the
South, but I felt safe until the cars arrived
at , the former scene of my labors as
teacher, when on looking from the window
1 saw some savage looking faces, and the
first words I heard : ‘ What in the h—l is
Seward coming here for*?’- Not ’enjoying
this kind of hospitality, I still did not like
to come out of my way and not effect my
object; I got out of the car. Every one
looked so ferocious I hesitated to inquire
my way. I saw a largo, fat, greasy, dirty
man, without coat or vest, sitting with
aimless stupidity on a bench. I thought
it might be safe to inquire of him; but, on
a- nearer inspection, lie was so repulsive
to look&itfln.-in disgust; I turned asule-to
a 'dcaflflfland" decently rft-Assed nogrro, atftl
askedTTTie could tell me where Leonid find
Mr. W.. of whom I was in seariSt/ Cast
ing his eye about, he fastened it upon
VAtv lmnp oC oWiiy I Rad just »j»ejccted,
and with a polite bow, pointing to him,
says: ‘That is Mr. W .!’ There was
no escape for me. On inquiry I found that
he was what was left of my successor in
the Academy.
“On learning who I was, he was (up to
the measure of his capacity) right glad to
'see me ; took me to his house, which was
as tidy as its lord, and introduced me to
his wife.' I learned that he had married a
plantation, and settled down and enjoyed
himself many years, free from the petty
annoyances of the pedagogue and desper
ate excitements and turmoil of the political
arena. But set out to find the dear old
spot where I taught my first school. At
last I came upon the place where the
academy had been. But the osage orange,
that in the days of my principalship had
been an adornment, had continued to
thrive, with no hand to check its wanton
growth, till it had completely covered and
hidden from view the entire building, which
was inaccessible to me. School was dis
missed, and the schoolmaster was—
where ?”
COMMENT OF TIIE COLUMBUS SUN.
If the above report has been published
just as it came from the lips of Seward, his
deep seated malignity, which torments the
people of the South, will not permit him
to state matters correctly, or advancing
years have destroyed the memories of his
early manhood. If he ran away from col
lege in his Sophmore year, he lied to and
imposed upon his patrons in the county of
Putnam, for he advertised himself as a
“ graduate," and competent to teach all the
branches of learning taught in Northern
colleges. We think slippery Billy has not
forgotten as to why he left the dear patrons
and pupils, but hopes that it has been for
gotten in Georgia. The popular legend in
Putnam about this matter runs as follows:
Billy had a strong taste for miscegenation,
the grand principle of the Radical party,
which he afterwards created, and lie pro
ceeded to mix his cold blood with that of
emotional nigger. The natural result was
one or more mulatto babies. As he
lived in one of the most intelligent and re
fined communities in the State, his con
duct Was distasteful to his patrons, who
did not consider him proper companion
and teacher for their children. He was
consequently discharged and departed in
disgrace. And this was not all. He basely
deserted his offsprings, and left them in the
bonds of slavery. Perhaps he was not able
to purchase them then, but he has been
amply abte since, but they have hot as yet
enjoyed any of his henors or income.—
Worse still, his children were once proffer
ed to him free of charge. This matter came
under the personal knowledge of the writer
of this. During the war when Seward was
tinkling his little bell, and committing men
and women to the Bastiles of the North,
he laid violent hands on a gentleman of
Northern birth, but who had long resided
in the State of Georgia, and imprisoned
him in Fort Warren. His offence was some
uncomplimentary remarks concerning one
Abraham Lincoln. A friend of the prisoner,
a very prominent gentleman of this State,
immediately wrote to Robert Ould, Esq.,
Confederate Commissioner of Exchange
offering to purchase Seward’s mulatto
bastards, and to exchange them for his im
prisoned friend. The offer was not ac
cepted.
There are some mulattoes now in the
city of Macon, demanding a share of the
property of a deceased citizen of that place,
upon the ground that they are his children.
Several similar instances have .occurred
since the war. In one case the party came
armed and prepared with a written opin
ion on the subject from his “ friend,” Chief
Justice Chase, and then intended to make
a case in the Supreme Court of the United
States. If these parties were in the opin
ion of Judge Chase entitled to a distribu
tive share of their alleged father’s estates,
we would be pleased to know if Seward’s
nigger children have not claims of the
highest consideration upon him. We sub
mit to Howard, him of the “ Buro,” if this
is not a violation of the “ Civil Rights
Bill ”by Bill Seward. And if Grant will
not order the army to interfere in this mat
ter to see justice done, should not the Radi-
cal party, before its final dissolution,
which is splendidly approaching, see to it
that the record of its first and greatest
apostle be made clear and without re
proach.

Drifting to an Empire.
THE TENDENCY OF THE TIMES—A REMARK
ABLE LETTER FROM HON. ALEXANDER H.
STEPHENS.
The Hon. A. 11. Stephens has written a
long and elaborate letter to the National
Intelligencer , giving his views as to the
prime cause of the war between the North
and the South, and closing with some
speculations as to our political future. We
copy the concluding paragraphs of the
letter:
“ And now, Messrs. Editors, do you ask,
Cui bono ? Why so much written upon
the dead issues of the past, when questions
of so much magnitude of a practical char
acter press upon the public mind ? If so,
the reply is two-fold. First, to vindicate
the truth of history, which is itself a high
duty on the part of any one who has it in
his power to chpAt ; and, in the second
place, to show the people of these States,
in this vindication, not only the true cause,
the real l caum causam' of the late war,
but the real cause of their present troubles.
The Federal machinery for the last ten
years has been abnormal in its action. It
must be brought back to the Jeffersonian
doctrines, and made to conform in its
workings with' the organic principles of
its structure, before there can possibly be a
return of the days of peace, harmony,
prosperity, and happiness, which formerly
marked our course. There is no hope for
constitutional liberty on this continent.
Judge Nicholas may ‘dream dreams’ about
another constitutional amendment, pro
viding anew mode of electing the Presi
dent, but the remedy lies in no such device
as that. It lies simply in bringing back
the government in its administration to
original first principles. This is to be
done not by secession, however rightful
and efficient a remedy that might be.
That is abandoned. Nor is it to be done
by force or violence of any kind, except the
force of reason and the power of truth. It
is to be done, if at all, at the ballot-box.
Free institutions are more generally lost
than established, or strengthened by a re
sort to physical force. They are eminently
the achievement of virtue, patriotism and
reason. That our institutions, and even
nominal form of government is now in great
danger, the prudent, sagacious and wise
everywhere virtually admit. An able
editorial in your own paper, not long since,
put the pertinent and grave question,
‘ Whither are we drifting V To this ques
tion I take the occasion for one to give you
a direct and positive answer. We are drift
ing to consolidation and empire, and will
land there at no distant period as certainly
as the sun will set this day, unless the peo
ple of the several States awake to a proper
appreciation of the danger, and save them
selves from the impending catastrophe by
arresting the present tendency of public
affairs. This they can properly do only at
the ballot-box. All friends of constitu
tional liberty, in every section of the State,
must unite in this grand effort. They,
must seriously consider, and even recon
sider many questions to which they have
given but slight attention heretofore. They
must acquaint themselves with the princi
ples of their government, and provide
security for the future by'studying and cor
recting the errors of the past.
“This is the only hope, as I have stated,
for the continuance of even our present
nominal form of government. Depend upon
it, there is no difference between consolida
tion and empire! No difference between
centralism and imperialism! The end of
either, as well as all of these, is the over
throw of liberty and the establishment of
despotism. I give you tlx: words of truth
in great earnestness—words which, however
received or heeded now, will lie rendered
eternally true by the developments of the
future.”
“Yours, n\ost respectfully,
Alexander H. Stephens.”
New Radical Scheme. —The reports
purporting to originate here, that the Re
publicans intend to put a plank in tlieir
.platform, this coming Fall, relating to the
AlulttuiM I- aims an.l future negotiations
with Great Britain, have some little ft) tin -
dation'in such scheming politicians as For
ney, Cameron and Company. The end
sought is plain to every one. It is to
divide the foreign vote so as to secure
Pennsylvania for the administration. The
Radicals are a little puzzled since Minister
Motley’s arrival in England to know in
what way they shall get up this new
fashioned plank, and to their perplexities
is added the retreat of the administration
from the offensive attitude of Sumner’s
speech on the question. By the time the
elections come around the matter may be
beyond the reach of all effort to make party
capital out of it. —New York World.
Siiooting Affair—One Man Killed—
Two Wounded. —On last Saturday night,
Mr. John Taylor, Superintendent of the
Montour Factory was shot and killed by a
young man named James Oxford, in the ad
joining village of Montour. It seems (from
the evidences given in on the inquest), that
Oxford was fiddling near the residence of
Mr. Taylor, who went out to quiet the dis
turbance. After a little altercation be
tween them, Taylor gave Oxford a punch
in the breast, whereupon Oxford drew a
pistol. Taylor remarked, “ Oh, you have a
pistol,” and unwittingly made at him again
whether as an assailant, or to take the
pistol from him, witnesses could not say.
Oxford it seems took it seriously, and shot
him in the breast; Taylor called for his step
son, young Farrish, to defend him as he was
shot, who immediately replied by shooting
Oxford just above the heart, the ball frac
tured a rib and glanced round, lodging in
the back. Oxford returned the fire shoot
ing Fari#ii in the abdomen just above the
hip—the ball passing through without in
juring the viscera. Oxford "and Farish are
both likely to recover, the former being put
in jail until well enough to stand his trial
for commitment.
Mr. Taylor died of his wound on Sunday
evening. —Hancock Journal , IWi.
Yellow Fever. —The New York cor
respondent (June 7th) of the Philadelphia
Ledger writes : “The yellow fever, I regret
to say, is at quarantine. North German
bark Ernst and Benno, from Havana for
Queenstown, put in here this morning for
medical assistance, part of the crew being
down with that disease. Two of the crew,
named Wilhelm Betge and Heinrich Boda,
died from the disease on Friday last, and
were buried at sea. The second officer,
Hclmutz Stup, while delirious from the
fever, jumped overboard and was drowned.
The captain and four others have all been
down with it, but are now reDorted conva
lescent. The quarantine authorities have
given instructions that the vessel shall
have no communication with the shore.
Steamers Idaho and City of Baltimore
arrived at this port to-day, from Liverpool,
with a total of nearly two thousand pas
sengers.”
A Havana telegram, of the 7th instant,
says: “Surgeon Quinn, of the United
States ship Saratoga, died yesterday of the
yellow fever. There are three cases of
fever on board the Saratoga. She sailed
to-day for Key West.”
An Article of Commerce. —Americans
have the reputation of being ready to sell
anything, including wooden nutmegs and
lots under the sea; but they hardly have
reached that point of “trading” which is so
fashionable in England—the sale of advow
sons. The London Times, not long since,
contained notices of five livings to be sold.
Among these a West-End church wanted
a clergyman “of fair pulpit ability,” who
was promised a good income and a pros
pect of increase, as well as an important
social position, if desired. The last condi
tion probably means that some mature
maiden was willing to surrender to an
eligible curate.
Hon. W. H. Seward, accompanied by
Fred. Seward and lady, and A. Fitch, of
Auburn, New York, were in Chicago, June
10th. They have started out on a tour of
some six months’ duration, comprising a
trip to Omaha, thence by the Pacific Rail
road to San Francisco, where they propose
to take a steamer for Sitka. The party pro
pose to visit India and China before they
return to Auburn.
