OON STETTTTTON' ATjISTT atjghjsta. ga. 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. Northern journals please copy. 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. DIKD ’ On the sth inst., at hi* residence Texas, Mr. Edward G.
