The Tiuxn Office haw been removed from uu by'n Building to the old Enquirer Office, oiniun dolph wtreot, third door w**t of the Pont Office. largest daily circulation In City mut Mulmrlo. The Savannah and Macon Telegraph have each paid u a flatter ing compliment. We thank them, and will endeavor to merit their good opinion. Let a law be enacted making the stealing of a hog, sheep or goat a penitentiary offence, and we will see those onco familiar animals again. Otherwise let a petition be circulated calling on old John Robinson to In clude them in his menagerie next winter that our children may not be entirely unfamiliar with those neces sary animals. Hon. Alexander H. Wlrphrns. We give much of our space to the letter of Hon. A. H. Stephens, which will be found in this issue. Mr. Ste phens’ high political standing in Georgia, and his extreme reticence on his position in the last Congress, has excited numberless inquiries re garding him. In the letter he defends himself against the charges made, but the letter is unsatisfactory, because lie falls to define his position, or to offer advice to the jieople. He is contented With asserting that lie has not voted to “sustain an usurpation.” Plan Unit In the tiull stale*. Under the above caption the New York World says that “planting lias resulted in pecuniary ruin to nearly all who have followed it, except those who have done so on the narrowest scale.” Would that our own journals could charitably sjieak as the World does in the following'terms: “It is sad that such brave endeavor as these war-wrecked planters have put forth should have such disastrous issue. Too much x-emains to be done in re placing stock, such as mules, cows, pigs, etc., which the negroes, under the pernicious system of labor and licence (italics ours—En.) that lias prevailed have übused or destroyed.” Planters, subscribe for the World. We hear rumors that many in Ala bama are now discharging most of their handsi and cutting down pro duction to the smallest possible limit. This is our true policy. Raise grain at home and save that much. Until our laws are made more stringent and are executed it is folly to talk about raising our own meat. The Problem of the Xeitro. The next important reason why im migrants do not seek the South, is owing to the fact that the system of public schools it is not known lias become general throughont the South. The central government by its educational charts lias fostered the prejudices, scattered broadcast through Europo against the South by pamphlets and personal appeals. Those sections of the country, where education is not general are marked with black, and the unfortunate South is covered with a mantle of ig norance according to this chart. Again, the prejudices of the foreigner and the Northerner against personal contact with the negro in schools and elsewhere, is very strong, as is evi denced by the evasions with which they avoid the enforcement of the civil rights bill in the North. The German, educated by Ids Govern ment gratis at home, wishes his chil dren to receive the same advantage in the New World. Hitherto lids ad vantage lias been found only in what were known before the war ns the “Free States.” When Georgia will emulate Ten nessee in preparing a book descrip tive, not only of the liberul facilities for getting an education by all its people, but also a description of the minornl wealth that lies in its moun tains and valleys in the Northern part of the State, together with its varied agricultural resources, we may hope to gradually deflect the tide of immi gration in thiß direction. And in this connection wo would urge upon the Commissioner of Agri culture the preparation of such a work in time for the Centennial Ex i position. That will be a cosmopoli tan exhibition, and if Georgia will emulate the example of the State of lowa in the Paris Exposition of 1807, it can not fall to have a good effect. That Exposition will prove the best advertising inodium in this century; and a little table covered with speci mens of our minerals, their accessi bility and qualities fitly described, will draw public attention to our dor mant wealth. Another table, covered with the different varieties of cotton grown, will speak to millions of j>eo ple its logical utterance. Stop its production, and you wilt tic the sails of commerce and clog the wheels of Industry. Limit its production in the South, and you can carry the price of the staple as high as you please. Tho negro is au inferior race, and statistics prove that he is gradually decreasing in numbers. He is at pre sent, we may say, iu a chrysalis state ; and it is not natural that an untutored, semi-civilized race can successfully comi>eto with Ills more blessed rival, the white laborer. We are centuries in advance in circumstances of edu cation and progress. The African cannot, be completely Americanized. If he is placed upon “reservations” and loft to work out his own destiny, he will jiale away like the unfortu nate Indian. In the Anglo-Franco Island of Mauritius the negro has de generated, but the country has pros pered from the Indian labor and the new comers. To these latter the ne gro, like the Fellah of Africa, leaves the heavy productive labor; in con sequence,negro population decreases. Nor is It to bo carelessly accepted t hat the South will gain by a negro exo dus. In spite of the Jesuitical influ ence of the covenant of hate—the loy al leagues and that Ku-Klux organ ization “tho Grand Army of the Re public”—the negro has become a val uable element to tho South. He has progressed so far that we are led to hope ho may progress further. His only hopes arc with his only natural sympathizers—tho Southern people. Left to his native instincts he will de generate into the brutality of fetich ism ; unaided by his former masters he will suffer; but encouraged by the Central Government to idleness and corruption, he will become a formi dable barrier to Southern progress. The enterprising foreigner lias the opportunity hero which is afforded him nowhere else on this Continent, of utilizing tills cheap labor, so as to rapidly accumulate u competence. They will come in time. France. The elevation of the I>uko of Audi fret-Pasquler to the Presidency of the French Assembly, is a remarkable event. He is no more a Republican than Alexander Hamilton wus. Re sults have proved that Alexander Hamilton was correct iu his opinion of the destiny of this Republic, and it is possible that this generation will see ills idens logieully curried out. Jeffersonian Democracy we believe to be the true theory of Republican government, but Hamilton was not, strictly speaking, a Republican. Like tho Duke d’Audifret-Pasquier, lie in clined to the constitutional monarchy, but did not deem it practicable or ex pedient. Switzerland is the true ideal of a Republic. Her subjects embrace an aristocracy equal in antiquity and tho respect paid to them, to her monarchical neighbors, as well as a peasantry and citizens, who are guar anteed the same equality before the law which characterizes democratic America. Monarchs and the nobili ty of all European countries throng her cities, and prevent by their pres ence agrarian and other extreme doctrines. Hut France is differently situated; and we do not believe tho Hepubliecan be perpetuated. Royalty went to pieces in 178!), it is true, but Imperialism was warmly greeted in 1818. Tho Emperor Napoleon 111. suited the French people far better than the President Louis Naiioleon. They crave the glitter of court pa geants, military displays, and the splendor of Paris, tho oaptal of the Empire. “Paris e’est le Monde!" and Republican rule will not admit of a Huron Haussmann and his splendid architectural achievements. If the Left, led by Gambetta united with the Moderate Right to make this ti tled aristocrat President, it is a trib ute to his personal worth rather than a proof that this harmonious result meuns a long lease of power to the Republic. ♦ i lli, Tax on UnriKiiitrs Protests ought to lie uttered every where against the unjust tribute paid under tho above caption. If a man holds his plantation for #15,000, at which sum it has been assessed, and it is mortgaged for $7,500, though the owner of the fee has only an interest of $7,500, lie (lays a tax on the $15,000, and the mortgagee is likewise called upon to pay a tax on his $7,500. A tax oil $22,500 is collected from this property, when it is only worth $15,- 000. We have often wondered why such a law should exist. If it is ever to be changed now seems the time to doit. Hitpposo tho paity giving the mortgage goes into bankruptcy, or takes advantage of tho homestead exemption, where Is the justice in ex acting for years a tax on the face value of tlic mortgago from the mortgagee, when the mortgage proves not to lie worth ttic paper upon which it is written? Tin* Fut'alyptn* In Uiitm*. The Pall Mall Gazette says; Gara buldi is occupied, among other schemes, in planting the famous Eu calyptus Globulus (Australian gum tree) around Rome, with a view to prevent malaria. Travelers in the South of Europe have now an oppor tunity of admiring noble specimens of tins tree in (lie promenades and public gardens of Nice, Cannes, Hye res, and Algiers; while iu Spain its health-giving properties are well known and appreciated. Iu 1860 the Eucalyptus was first introduced into Spain on account of hygienic virtues, and these were so soon discovered by the poor people of Valencia that they used to steep the loaves for the pur pose of making decoctions. The Capo of Good Hope, Corsica, Sicily, Cali fornia, and (Cuba, have also their plantations. The Eucalyptus, in fact, is making the tour of tho world. Al ready efforts are being made to intro duce the tree into Ceylon as an anti dote to jungle fever. Unfortunately, it is too delicate to stand English springs.” The many visitors in Jacksonville,! Fla., last winter, must have been im pressed with tlie princely efforts of General Sanford, late U. 8. Minister to Belgium, to introduce successfully foreign plants and tropical fruits in Florida. Among these nothing was j more notable than the Eccalyptus j tree which he is distributing gratis to the people of Florida. The Convention.—Wo continue in : to-day’s issue extracts from the State i Convention question. A remarkable degree of unanimity exists in the Con servative ranks, and all the indica tions point to a triumphant issue in August. Tho only thing to fear, and that we warn our friends against, is over confidence. There is an over whelming majority of the people of the State in favor of a change in the Constitution and the absolute neces sity of a convention to make ttiese I changes is freely admitted by all classes. There are counties in the • State where the sentiment is so unan- j imous that it is possible some may fail to voto unless the importance of j the subject is brought constantly be fore their readers. Another gratify ing thing is the disposition to send tho coolest and clearest headed men iu tho State to the Convention. It is ! one of the best signs of the times.- Mont. Advertiser. Tho Tredegar Company, of Rich mond, Vu., propose to erect an estab lishment for the manufacture of horse shoes, which will give employment to six hundred hands. letter from Hon. A. H. (tifkau. Libekty Hall, ) Crawfordville, Geo., t March 31, 1875. ) Editor* Morning News: My attention has been called, by the kindness of a friend, to an edito riul in your paper of the93d inst.,and a communication in the name issue, over the signature of “Phllokris, each containing strictures upon iny course in Congress, which, I am in formed, some of your readers think I ought not to permit to pass unnotieed. It xs due to myself, as well us to the country, I am told, that I should au thoritatively respond to these grave, public charges ugalnst my fidelity to the cause of constitutional liberty. The copy of the pa(>er referred to was received several days ago, hut my time since then has been too much occupied witii company and otlxer business of pressing impor tance, for me, at an earlier day than this, to give the subject that notice which its character, fa the opinion of others, seems to demand. You will, therefore, please allow me tlic privilege of now expressing til rough your columns, as briefly and pointedly as possible, and afso in language Intended to be entirely re spectful, my unqualified protest against the misstatement in mutter, and what I can but look upon as the (lisingenuousness iu tone, which per vade both tlic.se articles. As fair specimens of the matter, as well as the tone, which characterize both, from their beginning to their end, the following extracts one from each—may be given. In the editorial, for instance, you say: “It has been with extreme reluc tance and only from aprofound sense of duty, that we have expressed our dissent from the course of Hon. A. H. Stephens in upholding the usurpa tions of President Grant, by which constitutional government has been virtually overthrown in the State of Louisiana and a military despotism established in its stead. In the con fident expectation that Mr. Stephens would in his place on the floor of the House, at the proper time, give the country his views of the policy of tire Administration towards the people of Louisiana, and that he would make known tho reasons which impelled him not only to justify the Kellogg usurpation, but also to apprqvo the subsequent military intervention for its maintenance, we refrained even from an expression of our surprise at his course, so widely at variance with the known sentiments of his constitu ents and of the constitutional De mocracy of the Union. When, how ever, ho not only failed to raise his voice in denunciation of a deliberate and persistent system of usurpation and outrage, such as has never before disgraced the annals of even the Rad ical party, but by his vote in the last hours of Congress contributed to de feat the parliamentary tactics of tho Democrats, the object of which was to prevent tho endorsement of the Kellogg usurpation by tlie Radical majority in that body, we were con strained, more in sorrow than in any spirit of fault, finding with our dis tinguished Representative, to ex press our dissent from his course.” In the communication referred to, signed “Philolcris,” (and which from its position and the leaded style in which it is put up, may bo considered as sent forth with editorial sanction,) the writer, after stating that what he had said in a previous article about “tlxo distinguished author” of “the war bectween the States,” “was in sorrow not in anger,” goes on with the following language : “And some people entertained un bounded confidence iu his resources, power and influence. They looked on him as the Moses who was to lead us through tlie wilderness of difficul ties in which we had become involved safe to the Canaan of restored posi tion and weight iu tlie administra tion of the affairs of this country. They looked on him as the greatest living Apostle, the very Paul of State sovereignty. Ami wliat was the se quel? What has he done? How tins he defended Htato rights? What has been his course? He has defended the back-pay, supported Grunt, voted with Radicals against Democrats! Oh! what a fulling off! How have we found our idol, clay!” First, then, as to the matter of tlie | above extracts, against which I enter ' my unqualified protest. When ami where, in wliat word, or I by what deed have I ovor “upheld,” “defended,” or "supiKirtetl” any act j of “usurpation” by General Grant or j anybody else, either in low or high official position'' I join issue witii ! you directly and squarely ujhmi the facts on which your accusations arc bused. You say farther iu your edi torial that you expected me, in ray place in the House, to make known the reasons which “impelled” me “to justify the Kellogg usurpation.” When and where, I ask, did I ever by word or deed justify any usurpation of Kellogg? 1 aver l hat no “reasons” nor powers have ever yet “Impelled,” or induced me to justify or sanction any usurpation whatever, and never will so long as I retain tlxo faculties of my mind. This statement, that I have by some act or word justified the Kellogg “usurpation,” you will please allow me most respectfully to say, is as groundless in point of fact as it is injurious iu force of terms. My life has been devoted to the main tenance of right against wrong- the rights of States against all abuses of power which tend to oppression and tyranny; and you are most respect fully asked to specify, if you can, a ! single word or act in that life, private | or public, at variance with this aver | meut, You have the record of forty I years before you, ! If I have over said or done any thing iu relation to any act of (jen. j Grant., which is not maintainable upon tlie immutable principles of right, truth and justice, you will do ; me u favor by naming it. , Again, you say in effect, (and must have meant to lie understood as so : saying in terms, if you meant any thing,) that my vote, “in the last hours of Congress,” to take up the report of the Committee on Louis iana Affairs, enabled tho Radical ma jority of tlie House to endorse the Kellogg usurpation. Allow me to say to you, as before, that this statement, if you intended ; ( it as I suppose you did, is utterly er roneous. Aly vote did not enable the Radical majority of the House to do any such thing; nor did that majority do any such thing. There was no en dorsement of the legality of Kel logg’s election, nor of a single act of his administration. But mv vote did enable a majority of the House to put their explicit condemnation upon the huge iniquity of the Radical return ing board in Louisiana, by which tho Democracy of that State' had been defrauded of tlie majority in the House of Representatives of the Leg islature, to which they were rightful- j ly entitled. By my vote, which turn ed the scale and decided tlie question 1 of taking up that report, this con demnation was secured—a condem nation the more signal from the fact that it was unanimous, every Radical, as well as every Democrat, in the House voting for it! This grand re sult, which never would have been attained without my vote, however you nud others may look upon it, I regard as the greatest triumph in the vindication of popular rights and State rights achieved on the floor of Congress for the sixteen preceding years. It opened the way, too, for another like vindication on the Ar- I kansas question, which soon fol lowed. But iu voting, us I did, to take up tho report of tho committee, I wus found voting with Radicals, und “against the parliamentary tactics of ! tho Democrats,” whose object, you say, was “to prevent the endorsement of the Kellogg usurpation” i That is the “tactics” I did not yield to which, it seems, were planned with a view to prevent what no one even pro | posed to do. Wise and sagacious I leaders of the “Democracy of tixo Union,” think you, were those who planned such “parliamentary tac tics” ? Heaven forbid that I shall ever be found following such leaders when public liberty is at stuko! and Heaven forbid that tho cause of the true Democracy of the United States shall ever be committed for guidance and control to the hands of the au thors of sueh“tuctics”! My groat offence, then, consists in giving a voto by which no change was effected as to the status of Kellogg, but by which the crimes of the re turning board against the rights of the people and of the State of Louisi ana were unanimously condemned by the House of Representatives in Congress; and by which, through the peaceful instrumentalities of the Constitution, that State has been re lieved from the terrible scourge of military interference, and the whole country relieved, temporarily at least from the anguish of one of those vir ulent cankers upon the body politic growing out of the reconstruction usurpations of CoDgress, against which I have ever warred and ever shall war. This, forsooth, is my blunder, mj crime, my worse than archangel fall! It is for this “Phllokris” exclaims; “How have we found our idol, clay!” In this consists my desertion from the principles taught iu the “Consti tutional view of tlie war between the States?” Excuse me, Mr. Editor, for saying that all who thus really think, if any such there be, have my sirieer est pity and profoundest commisse ration. Be assured, however, tiiai u majority of my constituents, and a majority, I trust, of the Democracy of the Union, are not in that class. Your assertion in this particular is, I ween, as gratuitous as in others. You and “Philolcris” would do well also to remember that it was not Moses who fell, but those who “departed” I from tlie true faith, and erected in its stead n molten cull' as tliciy “idol,” before which they bowed down and worshipped. Hence, their troubles and sufferings. So much as to the matter set forth in my double arraignment before your readers. Secondly, then, witii your indul gence, 1 have a few words to add as to the tone of that arraignment. On this point you must allow me most respectfully to say that us it seems to me both articles evince an object or purpose not unlike that of the wolf in tile fable that was bent upon a quarrel with his intended victim fas I ant tie/as. When the charge of mud | dying the waters in the stream above him by the one below was too flimsy a pretext to justify his ulterior de signs, another more specious, but equally fallacious, was soon after wards resorted to. Whether the re sult in this ease, if it really be as it appears to me, will be similar to that in the fable, time must disclose. lint if this case is not as it seems to me, (which you know test;) if the teal ob ject ami purpose of these imputations against my fidelity to true Democrat ic principles be not barely a prelude to u contemplated open war upon me and my position in tlie coming strug gle between Constitutionalism and Centralism in the United States, why, let me ask you, am I not only thus assailed in your paper upon charges so groundless, but also made the spe cial object of assault for mv course upon the rcjieal of tlie Act of March. 1871, increasing the pay of members of Congress? 'Was my position on that question different in any respect from that of both of our distinguish ed Senators, Gordon and Norwood? If 1 voted against the repeal of that Act, did not they both do tlie same? Is it not well known that General Gordon was in Washington the 3d ]of March, 1873, and urged liis I friends to vote for the increase, i though lie had not yet taken tiis seat? ; Nay, more, did not Senator Norwood i not only vote for the increase in March, 1873, but also receive und retain tlie “buck pay?” If I defended those who, like senator Norwood, voted for and received the “hack pay” against the charge of being “public robbers,” or being guilty of anything illegal or immoral for so doing, showing, as I did, that the ablest, truest and purest men of the country from the beginning of the government had received the “back pay” on the increase of salary, does that justly subject me to lie singled out and denounced for my course on this subject? Does this thus singling me out ror reprehension in this mat ter look much like being “constrain ed” in tlie expression of your dissent from my course “more in sorrow than in any spirit of fault finding?” To me it looks very mucli as if your j purpose was the same as that of tlie wolf. I speak in perfect candor and frankness. What view others may j take of it 1 know not. I speak only j of myself on this point. In regard to your “sorrow,” and that of your correspondent, allow me : to assure you and him that 1 feel ! duly thankful for your united sympa thies, but thluk you amt he better reserve them for more appropriate bestowal. In the near future if you, he. and a majority of the Democracy of the Union, shall still adhere to the worship of your “idol” erected in Baltimore in 1872, your present sor- I rows may be greatly increased, but ! even then, if in life. I shall say, as , now, to you, ami all who denounce j me for wliat I liave done in Congress, ; and shed tears of “sorrow” over it; “Weep not for me, but for yorseives” and for your country- brought to ruin by the friends of the constitution being guilefully induced to follow those whose “tactics” load inevitably to defeat, disaster and destruction.
