WEDJfESDAYMORNING, JUNE 23,1869
NEGRO ELIGIBILITY AGAIN.
We had occasion, a few days since, to an
ticipate the decision of the Supreme Court
of Georgia on the subject of negro eligibil
ity to office. When rendered, the decision
was not substantially different from our ad
vanced Views of it. We held then, as we
hold now, that the opinion of the Court
would be based, as it is, upon the Code;
that it had no bearing upon the present
Legislature; and that the Legislature had
the right to so alter or amend the statutes
of the Code as practically to render harmless
the decision itself. We have again care
fully and calmly investigated the matter,
and see no reason why these views should
suffer material alteration. Meanwhile,
however, several of our contemporaries
have jumped, as we think, at different con
clusions, and thus caused, of course unwitt
ingly, a division of sentiment which may
prove productive of mischief. As against
these dissentingbrethreu, we still hold, and
shall continue to hold, that the late decis
ion has no virtue to affect the restoration
of the negroes to their seats in the Legisla
ture, and, if the whites who hold these seats
abandon them on such grounds, they do so
solely on their personal responsibility-and
without the concurrence of nine-tenths of
their proper constituents. That they have
the right to hold the seats vacated by the
negroes we believe, because this decision
just rendered is not retroactive and can
not touch their claims. If they hurriedly
choose, to abandon their rights to the ne
groes, for the sake of what is called policy,
that is a different matter, and- when it shall
have come.dp for discussion, we may treat
of it as it deserves. At present, however,
we are convinced that it would be a
great mistake for any journal to advise
such a remedy, and, worst of all, to
prepare the public mind for a surrender
that may be politic, which we doubt, but
certainly is not obligatory. As to the de
cision itself, it may be, and probably is, a
right one, under the laws, Constitution,
etc., under which the court administers.—
We believe all these still-born acts were
Utterly null and void, and, if we had
a court of the United States sufficiently in
dependent, it would so pronounce them.—
We do not yet despair that such a court
will one day be found, provided our people
be patient and true to themselves. Admit
ing, then, that, as the law stands, the de
cision may be right; we still hold that the
decision rests on the Code alone. This
Code can be changed by the Legislature,
uuless, as Judge Brown says, the Su
preme Court of the United States hold
“ privileges and immunities ” to carry with
them the right to hold office as an in
cident to citizenship. Now there are just
as many reasons to suppose that the Su
preme Court of the United States will make
no such decision. Indeed, from the later
decisions of Chief Justice Chase we are
impelled to believe exactly the reverse of
Judge Brown’s opinion in the premises.
Mr. Justice Swayne, one of the Supreme
Judges, has already decided in the Circuit
Court, so we are reliably informed, that the
right to hold office is not one of the privi
leges and immunities which may necessa
rily follow citizenship. Prof. Jameson, a
very bright Radical authority, in a recent
book, states distinctly that the right to
hold ofhoo itt not an iuaident of ol^intnahVp,
but belongs to 'the general privileges of
citizens. jThese afe simply the civil rights
usually set forth in Sills of Rights. Blit to
vote and hold office are political lights
which require positive law. We quote
ft-om Jameson’s Constitutional Convention,
page 340:
“ § 301. From the reasonings above given,
“ it is plain, that mere citizenshipof a State
“ does not carry with it a right to enjoy all
“ the privileges and immunities conferred
“ upon any citizen, but only certain civil
“ rights, resting on natural law, but need
“ ing for their practical enjoyment the
“guaranty of government. It would, per
“ haps, express the whole truth to say, that
“ the rights to which one is entitled from
“ the naked fact of citizenship, are those
“ usually guaranteed by our Bills of Rights.
“ It is equally apparent that there are pri
“ vileges and immunities enjoyed by some eiti
“ sens, by reason of special qualifications,
“ that are not conferred upon all citizens,
“ though none but citizens can enjoy them,
“ privileges and immunities that spring
“ from positive law, such as to vote and to,
“ hold office. The former are denominated
“ civil, the latter, political rights."
If the members of Assembly who hold
seats vacated by negroes think of surren
dering them, let them rest their action upon
so-called policy and not upon a decision of
the Supreme Court that does not touch
them. Above all, let them avoid £ foolish
panic and not go headlong iuto blunders
which tlieiv leisure moments, may compel
them to if pent.
THE SOUTHERN RAILROAD MAP.
Elsewhere we present our readers with a
map of the Southern Railroad system, more
especially as it affects the prosperity of
Georgia and her Northwestern connections.
Along with the map we publish the speech
es of Messrs. Bullock and Hulbert at
the Cincinnati Convention, held in May
last. These speeches are practical and
devoid of political partisanship, so far as
we have any knowledge of the matter. The
remarks of Supt. Hulbert have an espe
cial bearing as explanatory of the intri
cate traceries of the diagram! Believing
that the map and the accompanying
speeches would prove of interest to many
of our readers, we have taken some trouble
to procure them. All efforts to benefit
Georgia, no matter from what quarter they
come, must attract attention. The present
move to link her in stronger commercial
bonds with the great Northwest has every
appearance of a benefaction, and is there
fore worthy of discussion and publicity.
MR. STEPHENS’ LETTER.
We will republish, on the morrow, the
great letter of Alexander H. Stephens,
on the “ Prime Cause of the Rebellion.” Mr.
Stephens complains that great injustice
has been done him in this matter. Garbled
reports have gone abroad, and he is anxious
that the people of Georgia should have his
views as he really expressed them. To
. further this end, we have procured from the
distinguished gentleman a genuine copy of
his letter and will spread it before our read
ers as sanctioned by himself.
The Washington Niggers Stand Firm.

thought, that they will repeat their former

ecessity ’’ means yvben it suits them.

The Parnell-Harland-Johnson Ring.,
f Prom our Special Correspondent.
Washington, D. C., June 18, 1869.
Editor Constitutionalist :
Since the appointment of the negro
Belcher as Assessor of Internal Revenue in
the 3d Georgia District a great deal of in
quiry lias been made as to how this ap
pointment was obtained and much unne
cessary obloquy thrown upon President
Grant in reference to it. Permit me to give
you some of the inside wire pulling and a
brief sketch of at least one of the wire pul
lers, reserving for another day sketches of
some others of the same class.
Having had business in Washington for
several months, more or less, connected with
the various departments, I have gained
some knowlege not generally possessed as
to how and by whom appointments are
made as well as the causes which govern
many of said appointments. Take the case
of Belcher as an illustration. When Bel
cher’s application was made, although
backed by. howling Radicals, his chance
was. not worth a dime uutil the inside wires
of the Commissioner’s office were properly
pulled. To explaiu: under Rollins, George
Parnell was a Deputy Commissioner,
Thomas llarland was also a Deputy Com
missioner, and A. B. Johnwm was Chief
Clerk. llarland, Parnell and Johnson
really run the office. Under this regime the
most henious frauds were perpetrated and
the violators of the law had only to go to
. Washington, see Parnell and the others and
convince Parnell and his confreres that “ it
was all right,” and no prosecutions took
place. So with those wanting an office—
“ see Parnell” and it was fixed. If, however,
Parnell was not seen the luckless applicant
would have his labor for his pains.
Belcher and his crowd very early found
that to “ see Parnell ” now was quite as
efficacious as when Rollins held the seat.
The new Commissioner did not have the
strength to rid himseli of the entire crew,
and the results are before the country in
the appointment of such things as Belcher
to offices of responsibility, requiring men
of brains and business qualifications to
discharge their duties. Also in the way in
which great frauds upon the revenue have
been allowed to go unpunished, the perpe
trators being too closely associated with
this Parnell-Harland-Johnson ring to be
molested. When, during the Fall of 1868,
Rollins, Harland and others were on trial
in New York City for defrauding the reve
nue, or for conspiring to defraud, this man
Parnell was busy with all the whisky
rings in the nation, and while the public
and the press were in the habit of saying
that Andrew Johnson owed his escape
from impeachment to the “ Whisky Ring,”
it could, with more truth, have been af
firmed that Rollins, Harland and others
owed their escape from conviction to the
whisky rings aforesaid.
_ Parnell then made or marred an appoint
ment as to him seemed most fit— i. e., most
profitable—aud his status to-day is the
same. I wish every Georgian, and espe
cially those in the Third District, could
have read the scathing expose of this Par
nell in the New York World recently.—
They would no longer wonder why and
hew Belcher, et id omne genus, get office over
the heads of good and honest gentlemen.
But. Time is bringing about changes, and
from certain indications we may hope that
this will not last lorever. In a little time
more facts 'will be furnished you by
Observer.
Crops ii\ Morgan County.
Madison, Morgan Cos., June 21,1869.
Editors Constitutionalisi:
Within the last few days I have had the
opportunity to see something of the grow
ing crops in this county. Wheat has gen
erally been harvested, and in some in
stances threshed, and where the land was
fertilized the yield has been very satisfac
tory—two or three crops going over 20
bushels to the acre.
The corn is looking finely, and all agree
that the prospect for a full crop never was
better. As to our great staple, it may be
seen of every grade, generally, however,
looking well, and in some instances where
the land has been manured, presenting a
very promising appearance, On the whole,
the crop prospects in this county are above
an average. Respectfully,
T. J. B.
Particulars of the Death the
Ho'n, Henry J. ’ Raymond. — The New
York Evening Post, of Friday, gives the
following account of the circumstances at
tending the death of Mr. Raymond:
“ Mr. Raymond, accompanied by his
daughter, went to Greenwood Cemetery
yesterday afternoon for the purpose of se
lecting a family plot.. He intended to have
the body of one of his children who died a
few weeks ago removed from the vault aud
reinterred. He returned to the Times of
fice about 5 o’clock, and remarked to the
associate editors that he never felt better
in his life, except a slight feeling of fatigue
consequent upon his long walk through
the cemetery. He left the office about 6
o’clock and proceeded to his residence in
West Nintli street, where he remained uu
til about 9 o’clock, to recover from the fa
tigue of the afternoon. Mr. Raymond left
the house about 9 o’clock, remarking to
members of his family that he had an ap
pointment to attend a political meeting,
and left home for that purpose. He was
seen shortly afterwards walking up Broad
way, and one or two friends who stood in
front of AYallack’s Theatre noticed his
elastic step and general appearance of ro
. bust health. After attending the meeting,
Mr. Raymond returned to his residence
about 11 o’clock, and as soon as he had
closed the door after him he fell heavily
upon the floor. None of the inmates of
the house heard the fall, however, having
retired for the night, and not being aware
of his return. About 3 o’clock this morn
ing, one of Mr. Raymond’s children be
came restless, and upon becoming fully
aroused, remarked that she heard some
person breathing heavily. The persons in
the house were immediately awakened, and
on descending to the hallway Mr. Raymond
was found extended on the floor, entirely
unconscious, but breathing heavily and ap
parently with great difficulty. He was
carried to his room and placed upon a lied
and physicians sent for with all haste.—
Four physicians arrived soon afterwards,
who examined him and pronounced Idm
beyond all medical aid. They also declared
the cause of Ids death to be apoplexy.—
Mr. Raymond lingered in an unconscious
state until a o’clock, when he died, sur
rounded by the members of his family.—
He passed away apparently with but little
pain.
“ The news of his death caused much ex
citement and very general regret through
out the city. All "the down-town hotels
and newspaper offices displayed their flags
at half-mast as a mark of respect.”
Division in the Republican Ranks in
Pennsylvania. —The Washington corres
pondent of the New York Tribune , writing
on the 17th inst., says:
“ A number of Pennsylvania politicians,
including several members of Congress, ar
rived here to-day in the interest of the Re
publican party of the State. They repre
sent that there is an unfortunate and a very
serious division among the leaders of the
party in their State, with no prospect of a
union before the approaching Gubernato
rial campaign. One faction goes so far as
to threaten to nominate and support a can
didate independent of the regular nomina
tion of the party. Some of the most promi
nent of these ‘ disorganizes, ’ as they are
termed, are Federal office holders. This is
especially the case among the Government
officials of Philadelphia. It seems to be a
fight of the city politicians against those
from the country districts. An effort is
making to bring about several removals
among the Philadelphia officials, or have
them stop their interference in the organi
zation of the party for the coming cam
paign. The Gubernatorial Nominating
Convention will be held in Philadelphia
next week, and these Government officials
can exercise great influence if they are so
disposed.”
