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 Southern Republicans are divided between third term and a support of Senator Morton. The latter is sup posed to bo advancing his Southern fortunes very industriously, both by his proposition to investigate Missis sippi and in other directions. 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." THE TIMES: TUESDAY MOKNLNG, DECEMBER 28, 1875. OCR WIKHIMITIIX I.ETTEH. 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. Bazin. Tuk Yikoinia Earthquake.—Dis patches to the Richmond papers re port thaUthe earthquake of Wednes day night, which caused such a com motion in Richmond, was felt at Coal field, Manakin, Manchester, Liberty, Salem, Norfolk. Burkevilte, Green wood, in Albemarle county, and Kes wick depot in that State; also, slight ly at Greensboro’, N. C. It was not felt, at Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs, Winchester, Christianburg, or any point southwest of the Blue Ridge. ' There was no suspicion of it at Charlotte, N. C., and even Bald Mountain stood us steady ns our Georgia granitic wonder. The appointment of Mr. Randall as chairman of the committee on Appro priations will no doubt result in a great retrenchment, if the Republi can Senate and Administration will aid him in cutting down expenses. He is said to have expressed tho opinion that the expenses of the Government can be reduced $40,000,- 1 000. By such a reduction, or even ! the half of it, tlie proposed tax on j tea and coffee and other articles may be avoided, and the burdens of the people lightened. Notice.
