OK A Page Frem History for the Contempla tion et Democrats Who are Invited te Fay Homage te the ex Fresldent. Itiii Career one of Constant Abuse and Vili fication of the Democratic Party and His Connection With the Con Cen splracy thnt Defrauded Mr. Tllden and the Country. Fer the Istkllieenceh. That au ex-presidcut of the United States, should be exempt from insult, whenever and wherever he may go ; that lie .should be courteously treated by all his fellow-citizens, en his journeys or visits, albeit made solely for pleasure or recreation arc prepositions, that few will deny. That, however, is about all he has a riyht te ask, and marks the extent of the people's obligations toward him, and mere especially is this se when he really assumes the role of a traveling mendicant mere than that of a retired and dignified gentleman. These reflections have been invited by the late vis.it of Gen. Grant te w astittigten, wiitcit was el course made the subject of newspaper remarks, as well as criticism from certain Republican quar ters, as te the bearing of prominent Dem ocrats eti that cccasien. Xew, hew any Democrat, whether in public or private life, cati se far forget himself as te go out of the way te de spec ial honor te Gen. Grant is hard te under stand. Loek at the history of the man ; it is a notorious fact that from the time Grant cast his fortunes with the Republi can party, he never yet let slip a chance te vilify the Democratic party, and tra duce its trusted leader ; se bent was he in this crusade against the patty, that lie se far forget the proprieties of his exalted office as te deliberately pcti and clothe in official lansrttajre, in his. I think, last messaire te Congress an unmanly fling at his political opponents. His bitterness was se gteat that it really seems he could net close his elhctal career without, at least, trying te cast contumely en every Democrat in the land. In this he differed from all his predecessors. They, instead of opening afresh political heart burnings, made it a point te mellow the closing sentences of their last messages te Congress with words of kindness and geed-will towards all their fellow-citizens. Net se with him, the gall was tee bis and the bile tee bitter net te open it against at least half of his fellow citizens. But his friends will say that all that was but a matter of sentiment, that rcaily injured no otie ; suppose we will leek at some of his prominent acts as bearing en his rela tion te the Democratic party. I will net touch en his administration genctally, and will, thcicfere, net speak of the corrup tion, perfidy, venality, usurpation, both civil and military, that characterized his entire two terms of office. Political de bauchery, in every manner and form, was se great, as really te ferce from him and the Republican party such men as Sum ner, Greeley and hosts of ethers. It will become the duty of some future Gibben or Macaulay te portray with unerring genius the pieminent features of his ad ministration ; net the least conspicuous will be hs assaults en the rights of indi viduals as well as states, made sometimes with the stealthiness of a cat, while at ether times with the boldness of a lien, but always in the direction of what his friends styled a strong government. Let us go back te 1876 and see the part General Grant played in the presidential contest by which Mr. Tilden was defraud ed out of the presidency. At the very commencement any fair-minded man, filling Grant's position would have reason ed about thus : " As a Republican I de sire and hope that Hayes is elected, but as president of the United States and com mander iu chief of the army and uavy, new that the election of my successor is in controversy, my first purpose and ob ject must be te find out which of the two candidates Tilden or Hayes is in point of fact elected ; after that fact is ascer tained, my next duty will be te aid in his inauguration. As a means of satisfying my mind and the considerate judgment of men of both parties, I may organize a commission composed of eminent men, distinguished for their learning and fair ness and exempt from partisan feelings, or it politicians must must be sent, then 1 will divide them as equally as may be chesing from the best of both parties. A crisis having arisen, the whole world will leek for and expect from me just and im partial conduct." Such was net the way. Grant reasoned and acted. The very first thine: he did was te put himself iu close communica tion with Senater Chaudler, the chairman of the Republican national committee, and ether leading Republican politicians. The result of their joint counsels seen ap peared. Orders were given te send troops te such of the Southern states whose elec toral votes the Republican leaders bad in advance resolved te capture as a necessity te the counting in of Hayes. This was speedily followed by the ap pointment by Grant of the noted visiting talesmen, headed by Stanley Matthews, Gen. Legan and many ethers, all pro nounced Republicans, and net a few of them unscrupulous politicians, while ethcis were se clese in their relations te Mr. Hayes as te make the appointment improper in that respect. It is true, with a refinement of irony seldom equalled, after having clothed his pet commissioners with national authority and importance and backed them up by troops that were practically placed at their command, Gen. Grant turned round and suggested that the Democratic party or the friends of Mr. Tilden. might tee send some gentle men te the scene of disturbance. Gen. Sheridan, a geed soldier, but as every ene knows, a much better Republican, was re moved from his quarters and assigned te New Orleans te act as kind of commander in chief of the troops, operating with the visiting statesmen for the special in terest of Mr. Hayes. This was carry ing out Grant's premise te the people, " should there be grounds of suspicion of fraudulent counting en eitJier side, itsTieuld be reported and denounced at once." It has been the fashion te censure the Democratic leaders, including Mr. Tilden, for agreeing te the far-famed electoral commission, but I think, under the cir cumstances, rather unjustly. What could the friends of Mr. Tilden de? The atti tude of Gen. Grant as president was well known ; it was no secret. Leading Re publicans boasted of it, as a matter te their advantage, te wit : that Grant thor oughly agreed with the Republican claim, tli.'! the right te declare the presidential result, was alone in the yice president. What the vice president would de was a foregone conclusion, i. e. : te declare Hayes as president clcet. Te enable them te carry out their pregramme te seat Hayes, all the available troops net needed in the Seuth were concentrated at Wash ington. The purposes of Grant were net only well known through his particular friends, but likowise by means of the celebrated Sunday interviews, published in the New Yerk Herald. Had Mr. Tilden been declared elected by Congress, the result would have been a dual government, apd if this was te be of any force, it meant civil war, and the Democratic party was net then prepared te embark in a civil war for the presidency. I de net refer te the electoral commis sion new te challenge Democratic opinion. My sole purpose is te show that owimrte the well-known attitude of the president and cemmandcr-in chief some compromise seemed te be advisable that looked te a reasonably honest solution of the diffi culty. Gen. Grant, acting as he did, ab dicated his high position of head of the nation for that as chief of a party, and the head centre of the conspiracy that de irauuca .air. TildetL With abundantiire vocations, it cannot be justly said that the Democratic party resented the thrusts upon it made by Gen. Grant. Fer immediately en his return from his protracted journey Democrats vied with Republicans te extend te him honors due an ex-prcsident. Gen. Han cock, in the goodness of his heart, as the senior major general of the army, joined anu aided in the grand reception given in honor of Grant in Philadelphia." New, hew were these courtesies repaid. Wit ncss the celebrated Fowler interview, of wuicn it may be said that even decent Republican newspapers, although in the midst of a heated political campaign, were really ashamed. And instead of the digni fied demeanor, se befitting an cx-ptcsident of the United States, he condescended te make of himself a kind of traveling circus during the past canvass by presiding ever Republican meetings in the doubt ful states filling the entire bill him self in that always amusing show. In his well-memeiizcd little speeches he steeped lower in vulgar abuse of the Democratic party, than the lowest and most characterless pet-house politician. There is net a crime with which he did net charge Democratic party, there was no slander, however mean, that he failed, te revive. This is the man that Mr. Hayes asks a Democratic Congress te make captain gen aral with an enormous salary. This is the man who gets his Republican friends te complain that Democratic senators and congressmen failed te pay him the homage te which he thinks he is entitled. W. A Relic of Other IaS. Dr. Hewcr, the Once Popular Member of the Legislature anil Ueapltal Surgeon at llurrisbiir". The Philadelphia Times of Sunday has a long account of Dr. J. B. Hewer, the well known and rather weak-minded old pliysi cian, well-known te our citizens as a for mer representative of this county iu the Legislature and a frequently unsuccessful candidated, for re-election. The Times draws the following picture of his present abject and reduced condition : In a small, scantily-furnished room en St. James street, West Philadelphia, there sits an old, gray-haired man all day long poring ever a bundle of tattered, time stained papers. His form is bowed and his face is hidden, pave when he raises his head in a sudden impulse of recollection ! and leeks wistfully out of the window upon the dull gray cf the sky, which seems te call up in his mind some vision of the past. His hair Js thick and long, and from his habit of running his thin, bony fingers through it in his spells of troublous thinking it lies every way en his head. But the most striking, albeit piteous, picture is his face. It is ' partially covered with a long white beard, ' the cheeks and forehead arc seamed and j wrinkled, and the former se haggard aud ! emaciated that they are pitiful te leek at Yet about 1MM. 1.A.M .. C-llf -..,.... ,.!' tiiciu iiiciu tuu atlll ll.tiua Ul intellect and refinement. The cheek-bones I are high and the forehead and nose premt- ncnt all the mere se from the contrast of the sunken cheeks and the dc.p-suukcn eyes of blue, which leek out at ail times with indescribable sadness and with that unnatural brightness peculiar te some in valids. But it is only when the face turns feebly around in the old easy chair, iu which the body reposes, that his pitiable condition is realized ; and when lie gets up presently te bring out mere papers from the old corner cupboard by the window, it is seen he walks with difficulty, and it hardly needs his words te tell th.tt among the complication of affections he is suiicr ing from the chief one is paralysis. As he hobbles back te the old easy chair and painfully seats himself he takes up the second bundle of papers, slowly unites the string that holds them together and begins slowly and carefully te examine them. As he bends down ever the bundle el old papers he become thoroughly lest in the subject and thinks and talks of noth ing else. Over at the window, sewing, is a bright-faced cheerful woman some years younger than the sick and emaciated hus band. It is a face that has evidently known care and trouble and sorrow, and as it bends ever seme work it. is seen the hair is streaked with gray. There is some thing singularly sweet and touching in this woman's leek as she new and then glances up from her work and leeks ever toward her husband as he gees en in his task of sorting out old papers and letters aud tells of his past experience. And sometimes she will snspend her work alto gether and fold her hands and listen te him, and, as his memeiy falters, she will assist him by giving him the date or local ity of the event or incident he seeks te remember. And in what a voice she speaks te him ! It is the sweetest veieO in the world, whose rich, tender tones arc se like music that the listener feels au inspiration when the first chord falls upon his ear. The Times then gees en at length te re cite the atery of Dr. Hewer's life as it is familiar te people around here, who have heard him tell it again and again substan tially as he tells it te the Times reporter. His entry into politics in 1810; his letters from Thad. Stevens and Hcrr Smith, his popularity, his career as hospital surgeon and his physical afflictions a:e told at length. They Knew Each Other Better. Colonel J. F. Claiborne, ene of the old eld est editors of the Seuth, tells of a novel experience that befel him nt, Jacksen, Miss. The hotel at which he was a guest was se full that it didn't sui p: i-c him when the host entered his room in the dark and asked permission te put a cot in-tlie room for a stranger. The latter entered seen afterwards and retired, but befere drop ping off te sleeep the eceupants of the room had a very interesting ch i . In the morning they were se pleased with each ether that Claiberne asked the stranger's name. "My name i-: McCaidlc." Clai borne started back in astonishment, ex claiming : "Net Colonel William McCar dle, of the Vicksbnrg Whig?" "Yes," said McCardle, "and may I ask your name?" "Claiborne," was the reply. " Geed Ged 1" said McCardle. "net Cel. Claiborne, of the Courier?" "The same," said Claiborne, advancing jind shaking hands. The two editors had been calling ' one another cut threats for ten years. X tieed Mette. Where Did Jade Black Find It? Miss Grnndy in Philadelphia Times. When Judge Black was here te attend the wedding of his granddaughter. Miss Shunk aud Lieutenant Evans, he uninten tionally started a topic which has new be come a favorite subject for discussion when two or three legal minds are assembled at a state dinner. Judge Black told me the story, and I have repeated it te many, of the motto en the attorney general's offi cial seal, which the judge had placed upon it when he was attorney gen eral in iJucuanan s administration. The motto is : " Qui pre Domine Justitia scquitur'' who prosecutes for our lady jus tice. Judge Black says that he made use of this, remembering the story which he asserts Sir Edward Coke tells of his inter view with (Jueen Elizabeth when he was taken te her te " kiss hands " for his pat ent, and was introduced as "Her Majesty's Attorney General : Qui pre Demina JRe ginn scqnitur." Elizabeth replied with emphasis : "Xay, by Ged's teeth it shall net be se ; wc must chanre that he shall be my attorney general, Qui pre Betniria Justitia sequitur." As Judge Black cannot new remember where he found the story I appealed te a number of the highest officers of the gov ernment, allot whom have the reputation of gteat knowledge of the law and the literary as well, and net one of them had ever heard the story before, except ene te whom Judge Black had told it, and nene had ever s-een it in any of Coke's works. Therefore, as I have been informed by one present at seveial state dinners lately, the topic has been much discussed and the burden of proof new rests upon Judge Black, who is mere than suspected of hav-ingoriginatcdthcCekc-Elizabcthinterview It is generally conceded that, whether he formed it or imagiued it, the story is an excellent ene. Several of the judges of the supreme court are re-reading Coke's works new, I am told, and also "The Lives of the Lord Chief Justices of Eng land," te find the anecdote, and Judge Swayue is se annoyed at net being able te point te the vel it me where it is told that an eminent jurist says hu does net believe he will be able te write Ills resignation this winter. This civil service examina tion is sometimes extended te include the question : " Hew long has the at torney general been a cabinet effieer?" That is te say, have these hold ing that position siuce the adep tien et tue constitution all been mem bcis of the cabinet? It seems strange, btib some high officials have disputed the fact tlia .I'lef our attorney-generals have been members of the cabinet. Judge Black, Judge Swayna, Attorney General Devens and ethers agree that they have been from the first, beginning with Ed mund Randelph, appointed by Washing ton in September, 1789. They were, how ever, net heads of a distinct department until 1870, when the law passed creating the department of justice. The attorney general used te be what in England is styled "a cabinet officer without a port folio." The Xegre. His Position North and Seuth. Fietn Cel. a. li. McClnre'a Southern Letters. Here every channel of industry is open te him. The white and the black mechanic ate en equal footing ; the prejudices of race have no existence save when there is a struggle for the domination of the spoiler ever pieperty. and he legislates and fills positions for which he is fitted net '-nly with the sympathy but often by the votes of the whites. I saw a score of colored policemen en the streets of New Orleans, serving under a Democratic mayor, but it would cost Mayer Stokley his last hope of I election if he were te put the j sab e peliccmati en Chestnut street. I saw i black men sitting en the Democratic side ... . , r t . i . n - m BO"I" HKZ """ ,eul no "epuei - ." ... r ...aue.pma or nyi- .seventy-live hundred colored voters of the citj, or one of the thrice that number in the state, for any legislative position, cither state or municipal. I saw the coletcd man mingle with Democratic organizations in the Seuth, but net en could sit in the councils of the League or the Union Club or march iu mixed ranks with the Iuvinciblcs or Yeung Republi cans in Philadelphia. I saw him have free access te every channel el me-ch.uiica-1 industry in the Seuth, but he Is relentlessly excluded from the organized mechanical pursuits of Republican Phila delphi.i. His admission into the printing office of the Times or the Press or the North American would vacate every white man's case, where most of them vete the Republican ticket te help the black man; and the colored labor of the Seuth, as a class, is te day better paid, mere steadily employed and mero uniformly free from want, than the farm labor of the North or of any country of the world. Indeed, se great is the demand for labor in the new rapidly progressing Seuth, that all colored laborers arc employed from Jan uary te January ; their wives and children double or quadruple their income in the cotton picking season, that lasts three months in the year, and there is new a yearly winter influx of white labor from the North te aid in the sugar and rice harvests. This is the peace te the black and thu white man that has followed the new accepted domination of the whites in the Seuth, and the black man docs net wish it changed for a renewal of a strug gle te which he is utterly unequal. If the North must assume the task of elevating the black man. te equal power regardless of fitness, let it begiu by giving him in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, New Yerk and ether Republican states, the same in dustrial equality aud political promotion that the less educated black of the Seuth new enjoy with the cordial sympathy of the Southern whites. I see the same colored leader (ex-Senater Revels), who was excluded from the forum of the Acad emy of Music, when a Republican United States senator, solely because of bis race, new at the head of a colored college that is sustained entirely by the Democratic state government of Mississippi, and he holds his high commission from the same authority, while Republican Pennsylvania has no such temple of learning for the black man. Although forbidden te speak in the Philadelphia academy, he can speak te intelligent aud appreciative white au diences iu the state that is blotted by the Kemper and the Yazoo tragedies. In all the reign of passion that has followed the war of races in the Seuth, I can find no imitation of the exclusion of a Curtis front a public hall by the Republican mayor of Philadelphia. These are un pleasant contrasts te present, but between the accusers of the North and the accused of the Seuth, there must one day be truth, aud I shall net hinder its early coming.
