WHAT THE CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS OF
THE 80UTII WILL EXPECT IN THE
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.
MONTGOMERY, Ala., May 5, 1880.
Major Cal Sayre.
BEAR SIR: In reply to your inquiry
as to presidential candidates I have no
hesitation in expressing my views, not,
however, for publication.
It is of the highest importance that
the Bemocratic party should succeed in
the next election. I say this, not
merely because I wish that party, as a
party, to have success, but because its
principles, in my judgment, are essen
tial to the preservation of our Repub
lican system of government. The
tendency and purposes of the Radical
party are to a concentration of all pow
ers of government in what is termed
the National Government., We cannot
mistake the purposes of that party in
this respect, as developed by the ex
pressions of its leaders, by its platform
of principles - and especially by its
apparent determination to elect General
Grant the next President. Our Gov
ernment, as it was made by our fore
fathers and as it was conducted for
three quarters of a century, is Federal
and not National. It was designed to
be a Federal Republic, based on inde
pendent, fcoequal and indestructible
States, having only a few specified
general powers, leaving to the States
respectively all other governmental
powers. It is national in the relations
it bears to other nations. It is national
in so far as its laws operate on the
individual citizens; in all other respects
it is purely Federal. Such a govern
ment, when properly administered,
will always be strong in the affections of
the people and always strong enough to
accomplish the purposes for which it
was established. As a nationality, by
insidious and latitudinous construction
of the Constitution (absorbing the pow
ers which properly belong to the sepa
rate States), it would ultimately become
a centralized despotism, destructive of
liberty. To suc'i en end the plans,
purposes and principles of the Radical
•party are rapidly progressing.
The very fact that General Grant
(who has already occupied the Presi
tial chair for two terms) is pressed for a
third term is alarming to all lovers of
constitutional government. The sug
gestion ignores the example of all
preceding Presidents, and the solemn
advice of the besi of the.n, and outra
ges the traditiors of our fathers and the
spirit of the written Constitution.
However expanded have become our
territorial limits, the improvement and
practical developments of recent years
nave enabled the remotest States to
feel themselves nearer to each other
than the original Revolutionary thir
teen. Gur territorial expansion and
the multiplication of States and of peo-
J>le have created no necessity for anv
ironger central government, and cer
tainly no necessity for an enlargement
of its powers.
The great issue in the next Presiden
tial election is whether the Government
of our fathers and of the fathers of the
republic shall be destroyed and a grand
nationality, if not an empire, put in its
place. It behooves all who love our
written Constitution and republican
freedom to stand squarely and firmly
with those who propose to preserve
the ancient landmarks and follow in
the footsteps of the fathers.
The South is the minority section of
our Government, and hence it must al
ways maintain a strict construction of
the Constitution as the bulwark against
the usurpations of a dominant numeri
cal majority and the commotions of
popular passion. The tendency of pow
er is to augment itself. Against such
tendency the checks of a written con
stitution enshrined in the ntfections of
a great people must always be preserved
and they Will always be preserved while
the people remain uncorrupted by the
blandishments of power.
In the coming contest for the Presi
dency the South ought to support and
I doubt not will support that party
which by its principles and its practice*
has conformed to the standard erected
by the fathers. The South has no can
didate of its own for President or Vice
President. The South asks no place on
the ticket. The South only,wants a
good man, tried and true, who will ad
minister the Government with an eye
single to the preservation of the Consti
tution and the Union and with devotion
to the best interest of the whole country.
In making the selection of such a can
didate the South will have prefer
ences and will express those preferences.
The South will ask the North to pres
ent a candidate whose private and pub
lic character will command the respect
and the support of the people. The
South will go solidly for such an one.
I know ef no one who will receive a
more cordial support in the South than
Senator Bayard. His ability as a states
man of enlarged views, his high charac
ter, publio and private; his firmness
and his fearlessness in the maintenance
of what he deems right, will commend
him to our cordial support. If it can
be shown that he can carry New York
in the election 1 think he will be the
nominee of the party. My own opinion
is that Bayard for President and .Judge
Field for Vice President would make an
invincible ticket. We would thus com
bine the far-off East with the far-off
West, enlisting sectional pride and
combining qualities of statesmanship
and purity of character which would
challenge the hearty support of all sec
tions of our common country.
1 think the delegates to the Cincin
nati Convention from Allabama will go
uninstructed, having the discretion to
cast Alabama's vote for the best and
most available men.
We might perhaps feci disposed to
nominate Tilden if we were sure he
could carry New York. His election,
by an overwhelming majority, would be
a fit rebuke of the frauds by which Mr.
Hayes was placed in the chair of State.
But while we feel that it would be due
to Tilden to nominate him, we cannot
afford to hazzard our success by the
indulgence of personal or political sent
imentality.
The uutnes regarded with most favor
in Alabama at this time are Bayard,
Thurman, Hancock and Field. We
have a high regard for Hendricks, but
wo know that he would not accept the
place of Vice-President on our ticket,
with Tilden as President. To nominate
either him or Tilden without tho other
being placed on the ticket would be an
unwise and invidious distinction. I
therefore regard both Tilden and Hen
dricks as out of the race.
General Hancock is a great favorite
with the South, and so is Judge Thur
man. And Field has recently loomed
up, with amazing rapidity, owing to his
very able and sound constitutional
opinions delivered in late cases.
Wo regard Governor Seymour as out
of the way, by reason of his age and in
firmities, and by tho fact, especially,
that he has positively declined to allow
the use of his name.
If I could elect a President by my
single vote, I should perhaps take Judge
Thurman. 1 have a very high option
of his ability and purity. But I incline
to the opinion that he is not the availa
ble man for the times. My present be
lief is that Bayard is the available man.
Bayard and Field would make a very
srrong ticket. There is but one thing
which could mako me hesitate ns to
Bayard, and that is, his speech in 1861.
For such a speech I admire him ; and 1
admire him still more because he says
now that he has nothing of that speech
to take back. Tlie fear I have is that
the fanaticism of the North may base
on that speech the hackneyed cry of
"Bloody shirt." Yet I have faith in
the intelligence of the people, and I
believe good men everywhere would
admire Bayard for Buch a speech. The
manliness of its tone, the love of the
Constitution and the Union displayed
in it, and the eloquent plea for peace
pervading it ought, now that the pas
sions and prejudices of the past are
dying out, to enlist for him enthusiastic
support in all portions of the Union.
I have an abiding hope that the next
contest for the Presidency will be
fought on principle. I trust that the
people, North, .South, East and West,
will no longer be governed by the
"bates of tho past," but rather "by
the hopes of the future." And 1 fond
ly hope that in the next Presidential
election " this great people will fold up
the scarlet shirt and lay it away in
some secluded spot with no headstone
to mark the place of its eternal rest."
I have written currenle ca/amo and
without even looking back to see what
I have said or how 1 have said it.
Very truly yours,
T. 11. WATTS, Sr.
The Army iind the Signals.
The Manual of Signals "for the use of
signal officers in the field" embraces 559
pages. It is interesting to read therein
what Polybius and Captain John Smith
did ; how the code of ten elements may
be permuted; how to estimate approxi
mately the power of a telescope, and we
are glad to learn from its pages that
"the" signalist, since well taught, be
comes independent of "books, codes, or
oepacial apparatus," Ac ; but life is short
and "signal officers in the field" are re
stricted in transportation. Then, too,
adepts tell us that the student maymnnt
certain portions as obsolete, impractical
or "twice told tales." That General
Meyer's work is not a compendium is
because so many cooks from Norton and
Totten down to Gruzan, have had their
finders in the pie. The volume is like
Joseph's coat in the illustrations, and a
patch-work as a literary production. It
is too cumbersome and ditluse for a
text-book.
The code is in as universal use for
signal men as the house for telegraphers
is called the general service code, and
occupies one half of page 545. A know
ledge of this code renders visual aerial
communication practicable; hencecsme
code cards. These latter were bits of
printed paste boards, less than four
inches square, and supplanted the bulky
manual. To the student either born of
a dilemma was thus then offered. The
red-covered book was Loo much of a
good thing. The code cards did not
convey enough information.
First Lieutenant HughT. Reed, First
Infantry, and ex acting signal officer,
recognized the necessity for a work em
bracing the signal tactics and essential
points connected with the instruction
of a signal man; so he.compiled and
condensed within the space of sixty
pages all of the information required,
and he placed his modest venture where
he thought it would do the most good ;
that is, in the hands of the Secretary of
War. As a tactical text-book and man
ual, Lieutenant Reed's treatise received
the commendation of General Emory
Upton. As a practical, reliable work,
containing the leading principles of the
special branch to which it pertains, and
excluding nonessentials, the treatise
merited kinder treatment than it re
ceived at the hands of General Meyer's
board of assistants, who sat down upon
the presumptuous author in the most
approved Dogberry style. So if the
book is adopted for the use of the army
of the United Strtes it will be in spite of
and not because of the chief signal offi
cer of the army. At present no work
in aignalism is "by authority" other
than that assumed by the writer, and it
remains to be seen whether Lieutenant
Reed's tactics will be accepted by the
parties most interested in the applica
tion of signals to the array system.
The Excavation of Troy.
STMIEMANN'S WORK COMPLETED AND ITS
RESULTS.
SCHLLITMANA'* LHR TO ST. PATARABARG OOLOA.
I have just returned from Asia Minor,
where I have at last finished that dig
ging out of Troy which I began in 1870.
During ten years I have struggled with
great difficulties, among which, perhaps,
the most troublesome has been the large
amount of debris under which the an
cient city was buried. It has been
necessary to dig down and dig up the
ground for more than sixteen yards
below the surface. But lam fully rec
ompensed for all my trouble. I found
the remains of seven different ancient
cities ; the last of them was the Ilion of
Homer. That city was built by the
.Eolians, banished from Greece by the
Dorians in the eleventh oentury before
our era. Iu one of the buried cities I
found many statues of Minerva with the
owl's head, whence her name of Olauco
pis. In another city were found many
images of the divinities. Rut the most
interesting and important of all discov
eries is, of course, the city of King
Priam. Every article found in tbe ruins
of that city bear unmistakable signs of
hntVing been destroyed by fire and in a
time of war. There were discovered
many remains of human bodies in full
armor. 1 dugout and cleared away the
debris from the entire wall that sur
rounded the city and also from all the
principal buildings. Now I am finish
ing a large volume in English describing
with full details all my discoveries and
containing 200 illustrations of the most
important of the discoveries. My Tro
jan collection is now in London, but at
the end of this year I shall take it to
my villa in Athens, which is fire-proof,
built only of marble and irpn. I have
received large offers for my collection
from the United States, England, France
and Germany, but I cannot part with it
for any money in the world.

The story of Tilden's love is the sad
dest page in all the long history of his
eventful life. Let him tell the people
how, in the first bloom of early man
hood, he was betrothed to a beautiful
lady of one of tho old families of New
York ; how her parents decreed that,
on account of her youth, she should
spend two years in Europe before her
marriage; how they pledged eternal
fidelity to each other, and registered
their vows at parting that, no matter
how many years might intervene, each
heart should beat sacredly for the other
till a kindlier fate should reunite them;
how tho loved one sailed away in the
famous but ill-fated steamship President,
from which no tidings have ever yet
been brought back ; how annually, on
the day that farewells were spoken, he
repairs to the sea shire and listening to
the sad murmur of the wuvea renews
his vows, and how, through all the
temptations that have coine with a
long life of influence, wealth and power
the pledge of his youth has been faith
fully kept, and his heart remains sa
credly true to his first love while the
years glide by.
A Plea for Flowers In Decoration.
VIOII AI.S TO BE DRAWN FRO* DA I NTT PREACH
ERS OF WOODLAKD AND OAT'IEN.
Fr>tn London NVwi, Mjr 10.
Tlio instinct for associating the in
cidents of our existence with plants
and keeping up in nature a |ierpetual
calendar of pure thoughts nud rever
ent memories can lie easily and abund
antly illustrated. Any library w ill be
found to have a perfect literature on
the subject in its modern aspect, while,
if we trnee the worship of flowers back
into antiquity, we find it sending its
roots and branches from language to
language and climate to climate, and
finally stretching bark to thetimc when
men were all of one family, when there
was but one garden in b® wo.ia <*
single altar sufficed to bear the floral
offerings of all the humau race. Since
then, wherever lie has gone, man has
planted gardens and cultivated flow
ers, selecting them as the types of all
that is most lovable in human nature
!or most sacred in the Divine. The
lessons and morals that have been
drawn from these dainty preachers of
the woodland and the meadow are
beyond number, and their influence
upon character is incalculable. This
i is no idle sentiment, hut a solid prao
| tical fact; as old Gerard says, "it
would lie an unseemly thing for him
that doth look upon and handle fair
and beautiful tilings, and who fre
quenteth and is conversant in fair and
beautiful places, to have his mind not
I fair nlso." At christenings, weddings
and funerals, flowers nre alike con
spicuous, and though we do not strew
I t lie parsely and pile up the amaranth,
; our cemeteries arc made beautiful
with the cypress, the yew and tho rose.
It is not perhn|>s commonly known
how this the sweetest of blossoms came
to bca flower of the grave; hut the
explanation is that the ancients loved
the flower so well that in their wills
they often bequeathed legacies for the
purpose of planting roses about them
when they were dead, and from them
and from flower-loving Rome the cus
tom came to England, and in Camden,
Aubrey, Evelyn and other writers of
the olden time the churchyard roses
are frequently mentioned. In Wales
the pretty fashion still prevails, and
where a nastor or one who has de
served well of his neighbors for liber
ality dies they plant red roses about
his grave, ami the white rose always
graces the last resting place of maidens
and of children. Rosemary is the
emblem of regret, the bay of resurrec
tion ; and these, in country places, the
mourners often carry still, while at
the corpse's head they plant the cy
press or other evergreen as typical of
eternal life and strew the coffin with
flowers iu memory of Paradise, which
was filled with them. With infant
life white flowers are universally as
sociated, and whether at the font or
the bier the symbols of innocence are
seldom wanting. What wedding, again,
could there be without flowers 7 Has
not Nature ordained, for the express
benefit of brides and t° show that
marriage is never out of season, that
the orange flower shall bloasom from
January to December? And, in the
face of this stupendous fact, what
maiden would go to the altar without
her wreath and wepay ? But it is
not only in the mv-.e important events
of fife—births, deaths and marriages—
that the old, half-reverent use of flow
ers is still conspicuous, for, though we
may deck our tables "for ornament"
only, we are still really perpetuating
a graceful pagan rite. Whenever we
enter a church with flowers in it, be it
on I'alm Hunday or at a harvest feast,
or on any ordinary service, we are,
after all, only carrying on the tradi
tion of worshipping with flowers which
is older than the Feast of Tabernacles,
with its palm, myrtle, and willow, and
as old indeed as Abel's altar. It is
well to draw memory now and aguin
to these links of the present with the
past and to remind ourselves in our
busy nineteenth century life how the
trees of our woods and the flowers of
our gardens are all eloquent of the
history of the human heart and in
stinct with the most beautiful legends
of our race. We would not see tbe
Circus Maximus rebuilt to celebrate
the Floralia, nor should we care to
have all our plants invested with their
old superstitious interest; but every
one must be glad when such a cere
mony as that of yesterday recalls for
a passing hour the gratitude we owe
to the world of flowers and the lesson
which among so many others they
still teach us, that evea though ephem
eral nations of men grow up and die
away and the harlequin empires glitter
and go, they, the frail flowers, bloom
on forever, keeping a record of time
and linking the ages to each other.

THE CHARACTER AND APPEARANCE OF ROB
EKT UNCOCK AND STEPHEN A. DOCGI.AS.
from the Oliirlrinntl Commercial.
In my specials I alluded to the
cats-paws that were being made of the
sous of Abraham Liucolu and Stephen
A. Douglas to enable the machinists
to rake the Grant chestnuts out of the
Illinois lire. These young men need
guardians. It was not a bad idea,
viewed from a poetic standi>oiut, that
the old-timers had of burning the
king's household —women, babes and
boys —with the king's body! Itdidn't
give the heirs a chance to tarnish the
reputation of the dead. All the ro
mance in Illinois politics clusters
about the names of Douglas and Lin
coln. They are the political idols of
Suckerdom. Their names ornament
counties, townships, hotels, streets,
saloons ahd cemeteries. As you enter
tRe unfinished Capitol you are greeted
with the names of Douglas and Lin
coln. ■ Their statues stand on either
side of the main entrance, and full
length portraits of each hang in the
Hall of the House of Representatives,
where the convention was held. Young
Douglas and young Lincoln were
both brought here to give respecta
bility to the Grant bolters from Coqk
county. They permitted themselves
and the names they wear to be used
as sort of door-mats. Stephen A.
Douglas resembles his father only iu
body. His figure is short and dumpy.
His head sets on a neck so thick and
**COUt pnJ dwiir with fni tlial it iff hard
to tell where the shoulders leave off
and the skull begins. His face is
pock-marked, and is not at all pre
possessing or intellectual. He is en
ergetic ami tonguey, and possesses
some wit, which with a gift of gab and
a name constitute his stock in trade.
When Grant gets a third term, Doug
ln' reward might be a fiost office.
I Robert Lincoln is about thirty-five
| years of age. He is tall, has a manly
| form aud bearing, ami carries his head
erect and thrown backward. His
j face is covered with a full beard, worn
i after the English style. He moved
; very quietly among the crowd, and is
j not as fussy as Douglas. Dark cir
cles surround his eyes, and he looked
to me like a man who indulges in
spells of illness. He is a man of char
acter and integrity. He enjoys the
good opinion of his neighbors, is a
good lawyer ami a fair talker.

The llill* Moses on Xebo.
I from the AI Trltmne.
Moses turning sadly and slowly from
the sacred tabernacle over which the
, pillar of cloud hovered and in which
lie had so many times communed with
I Jehovah face to face, as a man talks
to a friend, and from the goodly tents
of Israel which were spread forth ujoii
the plain like gardens by the riverside,
he sets his face toward the mountain
and begins to cliiub the steep ascent of
Nebo to find the place of his death.
An old man, 120 years of age, leaves
behind the people whom he has loved
with a love still stronger than death,
he goes away into the solitude of the
uninhabited heights to die alone. No
friendly hand to smooth the pillow for
him to lay down for his last sleep ; no
human face to bend over him with its
look of sympathy ; no human voice to
whisper words of peace and comfort to
cheer him in his departure. The
chiefs and the elders of the tribes.were
not permitted to come and tell him
how dear he had been to them, not
withstanding all their murmuring*
and rebellious. No loving eye wept
when death cast its pale shadow upon
his aged brow.
Slowly, step by step, he climbs the
stony mountain path, now hiding him
self in the shadow of deep ravines and
now coming out upon projecting crags,
and looking down upon the great en
campment of his people iu the plains
below. He would gladly bear their
murmurings and share their conflicta
if he might go over Jordan with them
aud possess the goodly land beyond.
Many a time with deep earnestness
had he besought tbe Lord that this joy
be given to his long fife of suf
fering ana toil. Buj no ; it must not
be. There is no forgetting, no resist
ing the stern command "get thee up
into tbe mountain and die.
As a last peculiar favor, when he
reached the ulmoHt height, he in j>er
initted to behold the land afar in its ut
rnowt extent of hills and valleys, wild
forests and fertilizing streams. North
ward the range of snow-shining llcr
mou hangs like a white cloud in the sky.
And there is a vision of beauty and
verdure which the meek old man had
longed and prayed with a child's fond
ness of desire to behold. There is
Ijcbanon, the goodly mountain, cloth
ed in its royal robe of purple cedars,
sending forth the iifogiving tribute of
jierjK'tual streams. The oak groves of
the table lands of Gilead and Tabor
and Gilboa and little Hermon, and
the sunny hills of Galilee rise in near
er prospects. Far away westward to
the utmost sea, extends the excellency
of Carmel, the teaming plains of Meg
iddo and the rose crowned beauty of
Bharon. Right beneath him Jericho
sits like a queen beneath her canopy of
feathery palms, and just beyond a
shapely-defined point in the clear air
rise the heights of Olivet and Bethle
hem and Hebron and the rocky shad
ow of Morian just seen through the
