The Southern Lawmakers.
If anytpinci is calculated to shake one's faith
in tbe doctriue that the world not only never
moves backward, but does not bo much, as
pause in its onward career towards a politioal
and sccial millennium, it Is the course pur
sued br some rnen who have, by the merest
accident, obtained the ear of the Southern
people. Mr. D. II. Bingham, a member of the
Alabama Constitutional Convention, is a fair
specimen of this class. He is a native of Ver
mont, but having resided in Alabama for more
than thirty years, it i3 reasonable to suppose
that he has had time to become sufficiently
identified with Southern interests to desire to
promote them in every possible way. Yet we
regret the necessity which compels us to say
that Mr. Bingham is nothing more nor less
than a fire-brand in the midst of very
inflammable materials. lie appears to
have conceived the idea that every other
white man in the State is on the high road to
perdition, and will be vastly benefited by a
little purgatorial experience before he enters
into final and unceasing torment. Therefore,
he does all that he possibly can towards
fomenting ill-will between the two races which,
must dwell together in the Southern States for
a few years, if not for all time. Mr. Bingham
goes about the matter systematically, and by
the most inconsiderate and nonsensical
harangues endeavors to foster and perpetuate
in the minds of the freedmen a feeling of an
tagonism towards the white portion of the
population. In the same spirit he speaks and
votes, as a member of the Constitutional Con
vention; and if its labors are to be based alto
gether upon his platform, then woe to the
unhappy men who have elevated him and
others of like spirit to power.
This Alabama Convention, in which Mr,
Bingham at present figures so conspicuously,
is overstepping the bounds of propriety in
more ways than one. Impressed with an idea
that its powers are altogether sovereign and
unlimited, it has undertaken to legislate upon
the subject of divorces and similar matters,
thereby simply holding itself up to the ridi
cule of the country. There are likewise in
the Louisiana Convention some men who are
afflicted with a sense of their own supreme
authority and wisdom; and they have pro
posedalthough the Convention has not as
yet had the foolishness to declare that no
other Convention for the further revision of
the Constitution shall be authorized by the
Legislature within seventy years. If such a
ridiculous measure is approved of by this
body, it will insure to Louisiana, in all pro
bability, a repetition of scenes similar to those
which transpired in Rhode Island during the
Dorr rebellion. Wise as the law-makers of
Louisiana may be, they should not attempt to
legislate so far into the future, for fear their
grandchildren may have good cause to doubt
their claim to the honor of statesmanship.
3 1 1 The task confided by Congress to the
Southern Conventions is the greatest and the
gravest that has devolved upon any similar
body since the days when our Federal Consti
tution itself was framed. In the words of
Abraham Lincoln, "With malice towards none,
with charity for all, and with firmness in the
right," they should "strive on to finish the
work they are in, to bind up the nation's
wounds, and to do all which may achieve and
cherish a just and lasting peace." It is their
province to decide the degree of prescription
which is necessary to their own safety and the
welfare of the whole country. Yet, by giving
loose reins to their animosity, they will more
than counteract all the good they can possibly
achieve, will bring themselves into antagonism
with almost the entire white population of
the Southern' States, and will, moreover,
render it necessary for Congress to administer
to them a severe rebuke, by 'returning for
material revision the Constitutions in the
framing of which they are now engaged.
An Insurance Fund for Naval Officers.
Senator Grimes, Chairman of the Senate
Committee on Naval Affairs, yesterday in
troduced a bill into that body which is founded
on sound policy and common sense. It con
tains a plan for the establishment of a fund
for the insuranse of the lives of our naval offi
cers, the basis of which is to be the surplus
Interest of $150,000 on the annual pension,
and the growth of which is secured by a com
pulsory levy on aii offi0erBf except Midship
men and Third Assistant Engineers, of sums
ranging from 90 to $20. By this means a
handsome sum will he reoeived, the Interest
on which will be continually increasing Its
capaoity, and a provl8iou be made for the com
fort of the widows and orphans of our sailors
Should any disaster overtake them in the dis
charge of their duty. Considering the ex
treme hazard they continually run, we are
only surprised that some such plan has not
Leen suggested before. The risk is too groat
for them to secure an ordinary insurance, and
it is quite time that the Government should
found a fund which will remove most of
the anxiety to which those wjio have
families dependent upon them are continually
Bubjected. We have no doubt that it will
Iia irrid into successful operation. The
policy of Insuring life is so apparent to those
who have others relying on them for sup
port, that It is beooming extremely general.
It is a sort of perpetual means of tubsistence,
and is one which every father and husbani
ought to secure for LU family. Why, then,
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAHI PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY.
Should our sailors be exoluded from the bene- I
fit of this latest improvement of our civiliza-
tion f It is the duty of the Government, in
whose defense they continually risk their
lives, to see to their protootion ; and the
bill of Mr. Grimes will receive the hearty
assent of both Congress and the naval service.
The Question of a Century at Rest.
On the 21st of January, 17G!, there appeared
in the London Public Advnrtiser the first of the
famous series of letters by "Junius," the last
being given to the publio on the third anni
versary of that day. During this short period
they appeared at irregular intervals, to the
number of forty-fonr; in addition to whioh
were fifteen signed "rhilo-Junius," evidently
by the same author, but devoted to his sup
port and defense. At this day, when the oom
tnon resort of politicians, as well as of some
who can lay claim to the high dignity of states
manship, both in this country and in England,
is unstinted abuse of their opponents, it is
scarcely possible for us to appreciate the con
sternation which these oelebrated productions
created. The author had a thorough command
of the most elegant and classical diction, while
for bitter, biting, and inconsiderate saroasm
the century which has since elapsed has pro
duced few who could equal and none who
could surpass him. This "mighty boar of the
forest," as he was styled by Burke, respected
neither sge, nor birth, nor official dignity;
and at last, on the 19th of December, 17G!), he
addressed a letter to the King which filled
all England with positive terror, and,
according to his own . confession,
caused the blood of Edmund
Barke to "run cold." Its withering soorn and
downright malignant ferocity were more than
the Government could bear up under, without
making some effort at discovering and punish
ing the daring perpetrator. But the only
thing that could be done was the prosecution
of Woodfall, the publisher of the Advertiser,
for libel, whereupon "Junius" promised to
recompense him for any pecuniary loss which
he might sustain in consequenoe. To the
assistance of the Government came a multi
tude of minor foes whom he had aroused by
his attacks, and systematic and persistent
efforts were made to entrap the terror of the
realm. The only occasion on which his ene
mies succeeded in getting upon his track was
when a tall man, arrayed in a light coat, and
carrying a sword and a bag, was seen to throw a
letter from "Junius" into the door of Wood
fall's office. He was at once pursued, but he
soon stepped into a hackney coach, and in a
few minutes was lost to sight. "I am the sole
depositary of my own secret, and it shall
perish with me," he wrote, in his final dedica
tion to the English nation; and such were the
precautions taken that a century may be said
to have elapsed before the mystery was olearly
and definitely solved.
During the period in which the famous let
ters appeared, and since then, their authorship
has been ascribed to no less than forty-two of
the most prominent personages of that day,
among the number being Edmund Burke, Col.
Barr6, Lord Chesterfljld, Lord Ashburton,
Edward Gibbon, Viscount Sackville, Earl
Temple, John Home Tooke, Horace Walpole,
John Wilkes, Lord Loughborough, and Sir
rhilip Francis. The first attempt to fix the
authorship authoritatively upon the latter was
made in 1816, by John Taylor, in a very elabo
rate work; and, altogether, no less than one
hundred volumes and pamphlets have been
written, in attempts at solving the mystery. Of
late years it has been generally conoedei that
Francis was identical with the "mighty boar
of the forest" whose anonymous productions
created such a stir in the political world of the
last century, the case against him, acoording
to Lord Macaulay, resting "on coincidences
sufficient to convict a murderer."
Still, the whole subject was invested with
doubt, until the matter was finally taken up
by the late Joseph Parkes, Esq., an indefati
gable researoher, who, after devoting years to
the collection and arrangement of the proofs,
passed away from earth just as he was pre
pared to present them to the public. To Mr.
Herman Merivale, a ripe scholar, well known
to the world of letters by his valuable histori
cal labors, was assigned the difficult task of
completing the work, and the result has just
been given to the world in two handsome
volumes by the London publishing house of
the Longmans. We have not the space at our
command to enter into an elaborate examina
tion of this interesting work, but must con
tent ourselves with a summary of the incon
testable proofs upon which Mr. Parkes relied
for establishing the identity of Sir Philip
Francis with the renowned and vindictive
"Junius." They may be stated as follows:
The manuscript of Sir rhilip Francis shows
a striking resemblance to the hand in which
the letters of "Junius" were written. They
were likewise written on the official paper
used in the British War Department, in which
Sir Philip was at the time employed; and were
folded in precisely the same manner which
the latter's letters written to Lady Francis at
the same period displayed. No person who
was without official sources of information
could possibly have obtained a knowledge of
the facts in connection with the action of the
Government of which "Junius" made such
forcible use; and Sir Philip, by his connection
with the War Office, had ready access to the
records and movements of the various depart
ments. All the books and pamphlets, the
Utter In bound volumes, from which "Junius"
quoted, were found in Sir Philip's library at
his daib. He practically admitted to Lady
f i " .XW L waa th0 author of ih lettera'
, , firBt to her after their marriage
being . Volunj(J of ttJmi w'ulo
she was commanded, to take to her room, with
caution never to e pon the su'bJect
and after his decease a cop, of Taylor's work,
already referred to, was found in i,Ia l.,,,. '
sealed and addressed to LU'wifa. Lady Pranoli
Lag likewise stated that her husband
always
fxhiblted the greatest anxiety concerning a
secret in connection with hia contributions to
the press. Added to this is the testimony of
several persons who claimed to possess more
or less information on the subject, all tending
to sustain the fact whioh the above arguments
would appear to render indubitable.
The volumes of Messrs. Parkes and Meri
vale will hereafter prove of great service to
the student of English history, and we trust
that they will soon be reproduced in this
oountry. Tbe letters of '.Junius,'' as they
were the foundation of a school of politioal
dircussion which Lai now become almost uni
versal, must forever remain a model to be
studied, by reason of their brilliant, logical,
and sarcastio character.
A Distinction. Although the New York
Convention has been in session long enough
to have furnished first-class constitutions for
every State in the Union, with a few over for
distribution abroad, the end is not yet. It
has at last reached the delioate subject of offi
cial corruption, and ex-Mayor Opdyke, of New
York city, has presented a report embodying,
for the consideration of the Convention, an
artiole which alms at its suppression. By the
proposed change in the fundamental law of
the State, it is clearly intimated that official
bribery is a crime upon which the Legisla
ture, as such bodies are usually constituted in
New York, is not qualified to aot. It provides
that those who participate in bribery are to
be subjected to an imprisonment of at least
three years. But just here the ex-Mayor
draws a very neat distinction. In case the
bribe is accepted, the official who reoeives it
will be liable to the punishment, while the
tempter is not to be molested in any way.
But if the bribe be refused, the vengeance
of the law is to fall with equal severity upon
the one who offers it. Some of the New York
papers are delighted with this novel arrange
ment, and prophesy a return of the good old
days when Peter Stuyvesant administered the
law among their great-grandfathers. Under
the present system, both parties to a bribe are
punished equally, so that neither dare appear
against tbe other. It is, therefore, not a
matter of surprise that a proposition to permit
the one who tenders a bribe to go scot free
when it is accepted meets with a decided op
position. The New York Constitutional Con
vention, although it embraces many men of
ability and strict integrity of both parties, is
not made up exclusively of political saints.
Hob ace, when he gave to the world his famous
odes, said, "Exrgi monumentunurreperennius"
which, being interpreted, means, "I have
completed a monument more durable than
brass." The peripatetio Weston has created
quite as great a sensation, for the moment, as
did the polished flatterer of the Court.of Au
gustus, and it is meet that his achievement
should be handed down to posterity. With
this object in view, the enthusiastic citizens of-
Cleveland have procured one of Weston's
shoes, "at enormous expense," and this has
been duly forwarded to Portland, the starting
point of tbe great tramp. There it is to re
main to the end of all time, "a monument to
the enterprise of one of its citizens." For the
sake of that numerous class which has gone
crazy over the subject of pedestrianiam, we
hope that the material is stout enough and
tough enough to warrant the application of
the boast of the old Latin poet. Aud we
will take the liberty to suggest to the enter
prising citizens of Portland that a most excel
lent thing might be made of a plan to erect
similar monuments to the great feat of Weston
at every city, town, and hamlet through which
he passed. A certificate to the effect that eaoh
and every monumental shoe is the identical
one in which Weston failed to make one hun
dred miles in twenty-four hours, might be
appended, thereby enhancing the interest
and value attached to them.
Italian Unity received a strong and lasting
impulse on Thursday. The cable this morn,
ing informs us that, at the opening of the ses
sion of the Italian Parliament, Menabrea,
the Prime Minister who reoently succeeded
Ratazzi, made a speech, in the course of
which, while justifying the arrest of Garibaldi,
he declared that the temporal power of the
Pope was as inconsistent as the occupation of
Rome by a foreign power. On the same day
M. Rouher, the leader of the Ministerial party
in' the French Corps Lcgislatif, delivered an
elaborate defense of the course pursued by the
Emperor on the Roman question, in which he
admitted that Italian unity was desirable,
although he deprecated the accomplishment
of it by force. By these two signilioant
speeches the Governments of both France and
Italy, as at present constituted, are committed
to the idea of Italian unity, and its realisation
in a peaceful way is rendered merely a ques
tion of time.
