! A NEW MIIESE OP HEIIEMPTION
•OH THE KOI Til.
HOW A RF.PEKTINO SOUTH WIN lIAUICAL
111OP0HKH TO COHBKOT TIO: EVIL OF
IGNORANT NEGRO SPITTIAOE.
In the New York World of Friday
lust we find an “open letter” from
William J. Fowler, editor of Moore’s
Rural New Yorker, addressed to Hon.
Alexander H. Stephens. In this let
tor Mr. Fowler proposes a plan by
which the white Democrats of the
South may circumvent the Infamous
scheme for Radicalizing their States
by giving the ballot to ignorant ne
groes. He freely admits that, he was
“an earnest advocato of negro suf
frage” and “did bis purt in bringing
its consequent evils upon the South,”
and says that “having helped us Into
this scrape it is only fair that ho
should help us out of it.” It Is cer
tainly generous In Mr. Fowler, after
havlug aided to Inflict this evil upon
us, to ackon wiedge his error and offer
us his help In rcmodylng the wrongs
admitted. Rut we submit that it
evinces a great deal of assurance for
lilm to presume that bis agency in
producing the evil recommends him
to us as a wise or reliable proponent
of means for Its correction. His pat
ronizing spirit in both instances may
he a matter of Fharisaical pride to
himself; hut it will hardly ehange
the wide-spread conviction at the
Honth that If politicians of Mr. Fow
ler’s stripe will only “let us alone,”
we will be able to work out our own
salvation from Radical malignity and
subtlety.
Tho means of salvation which Mr.
Fowler offers to the Southern States,
is tho conferring of the right to vote
on all educated women. Ho says that
“the enfranchisement of woman,
with an intelligence qualification to
exclude those unfitted for political
rights, is tho effectual and practical
cure for the evils of Soutnern mis
government”; that “so long as the
negro remains ignorant, It is not by
dividing his vote, but by neutralizing
It with tho votes of tho educated and
intelligent, that the country can he
saved from the dangers of his inca
pacity for political duties”; also, that
“fixing the qualification for voters is
ono of the reserved rights of tho
States, with which the Federal Gov
ernment lias properly no business to
interfere,” and “it is high time that,
the States should reassert their right
to regulate the suffrage.”
Here is tho admission of a great
error, a grievous wrong and an unjus
tifiable usurpation by the Radical
party of the North, in imposing ig
norant negro suffrage on tho South.
But instead of proposing, in a manly
way, that the North should now as
sist us in getting rid of or modifying
it in the same direct manner in which
it was imposed, this repentant Radi
cal advises us to counteract or offset
it by conferring the right to vote on
tho white women of the South alone
-for that is what his proposition
amounts to. Why not undo the work
of Radicalism,in part at least,if it was
an error, a wrong and a usurpation,
us Mr. Fowler udmits that it was?
Would it be any more a violation of
the principle of “universal suffrage,”
to deprive ignorant negro men of the
right to vote, than to withhold it from
ignorant negro women while it was
conferred upon educated Whi to wo
men? Is Radicalism powerful only
to mar and destroy, impotent to re
store and correct? If so, it confesses
its incapacity to rulo wisely und ben
eficially, and should be made to “step
down and out” from an authority
which it has abused and a power
which it has pervertod.
So far as tho conferring of the
right to vote on women is concerned,
that is a great social and political
question which should be decided on
its own merits, not under the pres
sure of a wrong which Its perpetra
tors are unwilling to correct. If ig
norant negro suffrage is an evil, let
it be modified or abolished as an ad
mitted evil, aud not neutralized by a
further hasty and forced extension
of the suffrage -an extension which
may prove tq , be equally erroneous
as a political measure and repugnant,
to the clues, which it embraces.
When the white women of the South
manifest tlioir desire td tie made vo
ters, It will be time enough for the
white men of the South to consider
the question. They do not propose
to drag into the dirty arena of poli
tics, merely for the correction of
Radical blunders, a sex to whoso
modesty and refinement it might be
offensive.
We do not think that Mr. Fowler
and his fellow “roconstructiouista”
need now be so very fearful that the
South cannot manage the evil which
they imposed upon our section.
The worst which their folly aud ig
norance could do has ulready been
done. In all the Southern States ex
oopt, South Carolina, Radical malig
nity lias at last been foiled, and in a
very short time South Carolina too
will rise superior to their evil machi
nations. The white men of the South
intend to rule the Southern States,
with or without ignorant negro suf
frage. Nono but the Radical party
could have been guilty of the fool
hardiness of believing that ignorance
and vice, even when backed by super
ior numbers, could long maintain the
mastery over intelligence aud virtue.
Negro and carpet-bag domination in
the South is forever broken, and no
evasive measure can prevent its
dragging down Northern Radicalism
With it.
A ms catch of the 24th from Havana
says l hat careful inquiry at the office
of the chief of police and at the cus
tom house fails to confirm the rumor
of the presence of Wm. M. Tweed in
that city.
Fuller accounts confirm the re
ports of the severity of the earth
quake shock at Ifigkuiopd and the
consternation but it does
not appeur to have been felt far from
that city.
AS EXPLANATION EXTKMIEIE
The New York Herald of Friday, in
an editorial comment, thus explains
some facts stated in its financial arti
cle of that day:
Boitßownto Rates in Wall Street.
Tho report in our Jliutnclal column ttint
Imrrowers t the Btok Exchange had to
pay a premium of 1-32 of one per cent.
Ixniiio the legal rate of Interest, for the
use of money the overnight, need surprise
no one. Wlt/i sixteen millions bushels of
grain "in sight" at Now York; with two
hundred and fifty thousand hints slaugh
tered this season In Cincinnati! alone, and
with a cotton crop to move, estimated at
four and a quarter millions of bales, there
seems to bo occupation enough for the
capital of tho country in tho channels of
nroduetlon and commerce, without tho
large demand upon its resources to carry
along a hundred millions or so of paper
iepreeentations of value in Wall street,
which fluctuate from day today to the joy
or grief of momentary holders, hut with
out adding one iota to the real wealth or
prosperity of the community at large.
On what arc these values founded?
At this remote distance from ’the
scene of operations, the scarcity und
high price of money in New York al
so appear to disprove the assertion
of the oontraetionists that there is
now too much money in tho country.
The gambling operations in stocks,
referred to, may have their effect in
aggravating the evil. But these op
erations ('pernicious and reprehensi
ble as they are) have now become a
part of the regular business transac
tions of the country. As long as they
are permitted to go on, it is folly to
ignore them or tp refuse to take them
into the account in estimating the
amount of money which the country
requires. They block the movement
of the groat staples, lower their
prices, and'embarrass their produc
ers, by aiding to make money scarce
and high. The contraction of tho
currency would only aggravate the
situation. What the country needs
is a banking system susceptible of an
expansion of the currency when the
wants of commerce (caused by the
necessity for moving these great sta
ples) requires it, and a contraction
when no .such heavy transactions
have to be made. Such an elastic
currency wo can never have under
the existing National Rank system,
with its limitation of issues to the
amount of bonds deposited. Govern
ment greenbacks for a standurd and
regulator, and free State banking ns
of old, is the system that would rem
edy the evil.
Prof. Tick’s prediction of a warm
and wet Christmas was verified to tho
latter. The next great change pre
dicted by him la to occur on the 30th
inst., when he says it will turn very
cold and remain so until the 6th of
January.

A Washington dispatch says: The

COUilttlN.
From the Newaan Star, 24tli.]
Our town has been infested with
Columbus lawyers this week trying
some important cases at chambers
before Judge Buehanan, so we con
cluded to write u few words about
col cm nus.
This town was discovered by a sea
fariug man whoso name she bears.
His ttrst name was Christopher,
though the boys used to cull him
“Kit.” Mr. Columbus was in search
of a whale, and the Chattahoochee
river being up, the whale run up the
river and Kit pursued the whale. At
tho present site of the city, he discov
ered a .very fine, water power, and
concluded to build a town there. So
he bought him a steam saw-mill,
put up by Butler, Colo & Cos., of this
place, aud sawod up the timber about
there, and made a town, but there
was some defects about the titles to
the laud, and that’s what the present
big law suit is about. It, amiears also
that, Mrs. Columbus took her dower
in this property, but the Ordln vry at
that time being drunk, didn’t lix up
the pupers right, and this led to fur
ther complications. However, the
town grew and prospered, has been,
and is the homo of some of tho great
est men in tho State.
JOHNSON.
Foremost among her living great
men is ex-Governor Johnson, who
stands at the head of her bar. Ho
was provisional Governor of Geor
gia, under appointment of Andrew
Johnson, and notwithstanding the
great unpopularity of the position lie
conducted himself in such a manner
as to win universal approbation from
all parlies. He was appointed Judge
of tlio Superior Court by Bullock and
made one of the best, if uot the host
in the State. It was conceded that
he was the best lawyer among the
Circuit Court Judges. Ho resigned
the office several months agoi and
resumed the practice of law. He in
forms ns that he shall be an inde
pendent candidate for Governor in
the next race on the principles laid
down in Grant’s last message. He
starts thus early in order to bo ena
bled to canvas every county in the
State thoroughly. He is an old fash
ioned Whig, a good hearted gentle
man, a splendid lawyer, and we hope
ho will get beat.
MOSES.
Tliis is not, as many might sup
pose, the Moses that lifted up the ser
pent in the wilderness, but lie is a di
rect descendant of that distinguished
gentleman. Moses hus got more law
lu him than any man in Columbus
except Johnson.
MARK m.XNIIFOF.I)
i9 one of those muscular Christians
who beats and bangs around among
the law books promiscuously, and if
lie can’t find law to lit his case, ho
goes to work aud makes it. He got
into a difficulty witli the United States
a few years ago and lost an arm, but
that don’t keep him from “cussin”
when he wants to, and he can crook
the other elbow just as easy as ever.
POU AND PEABODY.
These are also distinguished mem
bers of the Columbus bar present at
this celebrated law suit. We have
given bond and security to send Poll
to Congress next time, though we
would suggest that he spell his name
Pough. That looks more
aristocratic. Peabody is no kin to
the Peabody who fooled away all his
money on schools and libraries. He
isn’t even literary enough to appreci
ate the merits of tho Star to the ex
tent of $3.00.
SAM CLEGHORN
is the new Mayor of Columbus. He was
shot all to pieces at the battle of the
Wilderness, aud it took two days to
gather the fragments and put him to
gether. It was a month before he
spoke, but he “still lives."

TUB LOBBY- RAFFLED BUT SOT KILLED BY
JflXlfl KOLMAN—THE THIRD HOUSE IN
OUR LEGISLATIVE SYSTEM.
From ~i,r Regular Cerrfetpondent.j •
Washington, Deo. 23, 1875.
In its declaration againstsubsidies,
this Democratic Congress, led by
Judge Holman, of Indiana, has given
tho lobby the most staggering blow
it has ever received. If it bad fewer
heads than a hydra and fewer lives
than a eat, we might begin to pre
pare its obituary, und appoint Gar
field, Dawes, Colfax, and Ross Shep
ard jiall bearers. Butitisnot dead;
“Though crushed to earth ’twill rise
again.” It is the parasite of every
great nation that collects and
disburses a large revenue, that is bur
dened with a huge debt, an expen
sive army and navy, alien races of ne
groes and Indians as wards, aristo
cratic class schools, like those at
West Point and Annapolis, and an
excrescent civil service.
There is, in tho corps of corres
pondents who are at Washington
during tho Congressional session, a
young gentleman who was born at
Copenhagen, and who writes for
a large Chicago paper published
in the Danish language. Ho desired
in one of his letters to write about the
lobby, but to tho credit of his vernac
ular and perhaps of the government
of his native country, could find no
Danish equivalent for the word ; so,
after a laborious paraphrase, in
which he endeavored to define the
formidable dissylable, lie wrote the
word in subsequent parts of his let
ter, in naked English. How the cold
austerity of the Danish lunguage
must have been scandalized by the
introduction of the little mongrel I
I can remember well the time when
I thought the lobby was a political
fiction, with no existence in fact, but
tlie man who lives long in Washing
ton without realizing that it is a pow
erful factor in our legislation and
government, must be of very heavy
perception. Last session, in honor
of its mature importance, it was dub
bed the Third House.
The lobby, from an architectural
standpoint, it is well known, is the
hall or corridor which usually sur
rounds the legislative chamber; and
the lobbyists are those who fre
quent these corriddrs and seek in
various ways to influence and
effect especial legislation, and push
jobs and subsidies through Con
gress. There are professional lobby
ists, those who will for a considera
tion undertake any job; and there
are amateur lobbyists, a less disrepu
table class, who seek to forward
schemes of their own. They may be
seen every day, during the session,
talking earnestly to Senators or Rep
resentatives, in the luxurious rooms
that are in the roar of both Houses of
Congress, in tho lobbies, or perhaps
upon t lie floors of the halls of Legis
lation, for many of them have the
entree there.
The lobby is a genus of many Spe
cies. There is the ex-Senator whose
voice and vote • are silent in the
chamber, but who, in this clandestine
way, has more influence and is better
paid for it, than when he was on the
floor backed by a sovereign State.
He lias been behind the scenes and
on tho stage, till ho knows all the
business of the Legislative drama,
as well as the forte and foible of each
remaining actor, and now, like a
manager who must forego tho sweets
of the pit, he directs the stars and
supers from the side scene
of the lobby. Then we have
tho pimp variety of lobby
ists, who lure virtuous (?) states
men, incorruptible by ordinary
methods, and arrange assignations
with a third class, more beautiful
than Venus, more accomplished than
Portia, more seductive than Eve.
When we see a legislator in these
soft toils, we are half in doubt wheth
er to envy the man, or pity the states
man.
There are other species, and I may
have occasion to notice them, and
their distinguished victims, in the
future, but I have time, now, only to
observe that the lobby, like death,
selects the fairest mark. With a per
verse instinct, it “goes for” our best
and purest. Suuday paragons like
Colfax; heralds of sweetness and light
like Garfield; millennial harbingers,
like Dawes- have their lily whiteness
smirched. The Morrisses and But
lers are passed unscathed. There
are but two ways to kill the lobby,
cut down the appropriations till
there is nothing to steal, or send
gritty men like Holtnan to Congress.

The appointment of Mr. Randall as
