Mr.. Stephens opinion OF President
Grant, which must be red hot read
ing under the winter Sun of Georgia :;
In his work entitled The Wor
Between the States," vol. III, page
597, Hon. Alex. II. Stephens says:
II was instantly struck with the great
simplicity and perfect naturalness Of
his manners, and the entire absence
of everything like affectation, show, or
even usual military air or mein in his
position.
There WAS nothing in his appearance
or surroundings which indicated his
official rank.
His conversation was easy
and fluent, without the least effort or
restraint. In this nothing was so
closely noticed by me Us the point
and terseness with which he ex-
pressed whatever he said. He did
not seem either TO court or avoid con-
versation, but whenever he did speak,
what he said was directly to the
point, and covered the whole matter
in few words. / saw before 1 was
with him long. that he was exceed
ingly quick in perception, and direct
in purpose, with a vast deal more
brains than tongue, as ready as that
was at his command. The
more became acquainted with him,
the moro 1 became thoroughly i'm
pressed with the very extraordinary
combination of rare elements of char
acter which he exhibited.
Upon the whole, the result of this
first acquaintance with General Grant
was the conviction on my
mind that, taken all in all, he was one
of the most remarkable men l had
ever met with, and shat his career il
life, if his days should be prolonged
was hardly entered upon; and tina
he himself was not aware of his pow,
er, and if he lived he would in th,
future exert a controlling influence il
shaping the destinies of his country

Going to the Devil.

If ever q party in this country was
on the road to the devil, the Demo-
cratic party is the one.
The sad, humiliating and demoral-
izing spectacle is to-day presented of
more than q million and a half voters
in this country, each and every one q
Democrat, cropping and feeling their
way blindly through well tracked
forest. Some going this way and
that some 1.-THE right and some to
the Feft, listening to the spasmodic
shouts and bleatings of pigmies,
mounted here and there on stumps in
the wilderness, endeavoring to point
the way they know not themselves!
The Democrats of the county are
divided into rings, factions, cliques,
combinations. hold-backs and go
aheads, till their progress, Instead of
being straight ahead like grand ar

and there this way and that way a

It is recorded in sacred writings
that work on the Tower Of Babel was
suspended when there camc a eonfa
sion of voices. So has the march of
Democracy been most effectively
stopped since there came such a con-
fusion of commands, such contradic.
ton of general orders, such letting
down from principle as has charac-
terized the Democratic party for The
past three years.

Greeley and the Cincinnati Con-
VentiOn.


The New York Times in an al ticle
reviewing Mr.. Greeley's article on
tho proposed Cincinnati Convention
of"Liberal Republicans" says:
1t is undoubtedly the purpose of
the Cincinnati Convention, if it ever
meets, to do what it can to defeat
Gen. Grants denomination but its
promoters are by no means ready, as,
vet, to commit themselves to the
nomination of another candidate /.
They would prefer TO fire their gun
like the sportsman Mr.. Greeley once
told about, who aimed to kill his
game if it proved to be deer, but to
miss if it proved to be q calf They
will name some one else if they think
that will destroy Gen. Grants pros
poets; they will omit the nomination
if they think the Regular Convention
Whatever forlorn hope Of gratifying
his cherished ambition Mr.. Greeley
may have rested on the action of this
Hypothetical Convention must, there
fore, be tempered by attention to two
facts; it may never meet, and it may
not suit it's managers to Eame him or
any one else for the Presidency ii it
should meet.
The New York Herald considers
the Tribnne views as the contracted
view of the mere spoils man, and
does not cover the ground, and says
further:
Outside of Missouri, we suspect
there are very few anti-Grant Repub-
lieans who are not disappointed office
seekers. Nor have we had, so far,
any movements in behalf of this Gin
cinnati Convention outside of Mis-
souri,.
From present appearances, how
ever, the Cincinnati Convention will
be fizzle, like the Independent Con-
servative Tyler Baltimore Conven-
ton of 1914, and the Cleveland Anti
Lincoln Republican Convention of
1864, and the Andy johnson Phila-
delphia New Party Convention Of
1866, and without doing much, it will
probably adjourn to meet again at the
same time and place with the regular
Democratic convention. And as
every man who goes to this Cincin-
natl council Of Republican sorehcads
will be taking new departure, it is
probable that, except the Missouri
out-and- cutters, most of them Will
stay at their home until they can make
a pretty near calculation as to which
will be the safe side, on the principle
that
While the lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest sinner may return.

Xenia powder mills was in springfield

AMNESTY.
Remarks of Senator Sherman

From speech made in the United
States Senate, ON the 9th inst, by
Senator Sherman in favor of amnes-
ty, we make the following extract:
While am up allow me TO express
my surprise that any further opposit-
ion is made to amnesty. Why, sir,
the 14th amendment anticipated that
the time would speedily come when
amnesty would become either gencr-
al or UNIVERSAL. 1t provided that by
a simple act of Congress, voted by
two thirds Of each House, disability
imposed by that amendment might be
removed =; it might be done in whole
sale or in retail. The debate on the
amendment shows that the time was
soon anticipated when the States, be-
come all represented amnesty would
become first general then universal.
Theparty platform of the convention
which nominated the President of the
United States declared that amnesty
should be granted as soon as the pub
lie safety would allow. The course OF
public opinion in this country has
gone further and farsher in favor of
amnesty. The House of Representa-
tives have twice, by vote unprece-
dentedly large sent IFS two bills; the
last more liberal than the first show
ing the march of opinion. They are
fresh from the people of this eoun-
try.
Sreaking Of the people of my own
State, l can say that there is a gener-
al feeling that the limitations imposed
by the 14th amendment ought to be
largely extended. Early in the recent
canvass, where public matters were
freely discussed, / stated my position
in favor of large extension of
amnesty, as large at least as that pro-
posed by the house bill, and I never
heard a murmur of disapprobatfon. /
believe that the general sentiment of
the people of our country is in favor
of it The President of the United
States. in his recent message, called
your attention to the subject matter,
and expressed his opinion in decided
language From every source of
opinion, from the newspapers, this
cry comes up. Why, sir, take the
conversion of my friend from Penn
sylvania Mr.. ScottL appointed to 90
to the South to examine the most
hideous outrages that were ever COM
mitted against the form of humanity.
He reports to as that as q mere mat
ter of public policy, for peace and or
der in the South. this pretext for vio-
lence and disorder should be remoy.
ed. This feeling has now become
general, and do trust that the pol.
itical campaign that is about to be in
augurated will be commenced by 9
liberal and generous act Of amnesty
I would not make it universal. / be
leve that the House in the first bill
have substantially hit upon the prop
er medium. They have removed al
disabilities except from those who
were prominent in the rebellion; those
men who violated their oath of Office
here in the Senate and in the House
Of Representatives and went back

The Amnesty Bill was defeateds.in

The Amnesty Bill was defeatcdain
the Senate the other day. Thissis
attributed to the fact that Summers
Civil Rights Amendment was attach
I'd to it. We hope that Congress
will not adjourn without passing a
general Amnesty bill as recommend
cd in the Presidents Message. We
should he glad to see Summers A
mendment also triumph in some way.
If Congress adjourns without pass
ing an Amnesty bill they will COM
nit grievous blunder.
1t should be borne in mind that the
Democratic Senators voted against
Amnesty and Civil Rights the other
day. This was to be expected.

Murder of an Ohio Man in Tennes.

Sccs
From the Nashville Union. JAMS,
Friuay afternoon Andrew Martin
a quiet and peaceful old man, was
met on the public street, in the main
portion of Tullahoma, by q despera-
do and notoriouslybad character nan :
ed w. r. Darwin, who, before hardly
a word had passed between them, de-
liberately drew a pistol and shot him
dead in his tracks. A number ofmen
were near by at the time of the MUIR
der, but they knew the reckless char
acter of Darwin, and he was suffered
to escape without arrest. He ran
through the street with q revolver in
his hand, and before a sufficient num-
der of citizens could be armed to fol-
low him, he got into the bushes and
disappeared. For cold -blooded dev-
ilish atrocity, this act stands unparal
leled in the history of Coffee County.
Tullahoma will not soon recover from
the shock caused by the unprovoked
murder, committed on its main thor
ough fare. in broad daylight.
Mr.. Martin was an inoffensive,
harmless old farmer of that vicinity,
and was respected by all who knew
him. He came from Ohio about
three years ago.
Darwin is youth not more than
twenty years ofage, and was brought
up at Tullahoma. About eighteen
months ago he was arrested on the
charge ef highway robbery, and on
ly csc ped conviction on some tech /:
nicality of the law. He is now at
large, but it is hoped that means will
be used to bring him to justice.

guishment of any measure looking in
this direction. Lobbyists are there,
"the official paper of the county
comes in with its howling, whining,
and abuse from every corner of the
State, and thus the measure so much
needed fails to pass and become a law,
the evil lives on amid the corruptions
of its friend and the weaknesses of
its enemies-it thrives, fattens and
becomes more insolent and eppres-

"The official paper Of the county"
grows more exacting to the shame OF

having their substance eat out by
those same illiterate news mongers,
who hare only sense enough to know
when they have fat thing. and lack
the decency frequently of being
thankful for it. All "ofiicial pa
