AUGUSTA, October 16 Hon. A. H.
Stephens addressed tho citizens of
Augusta. He spoke for about two
hours and half, and reviewed the
history of the Government from its
foundation to the present time, show
ing that great struggle has always
been between countries and constitu.
tlonallsm; the passage Of the Civil
Rights Bill would work great evil aud
destroy the public sthool system in tho
South. He referred to President
Grant, and would do him Justice, by
saying that ho had done his duty; as
to third term, he had no objection to
that, per Sc; he saw no reason why
President who executed laws faithfully
should not be elected for third term,
II people desire it; had looked into the
Louisiana question. and saw no sense
in abusing President Grant for his nc
tion in that affair. He spoke hope
fully of the future of the republic, and
advised his hearers to obey the laws,
suppress lawlessness. and be true to
| the Constitution and Union as estab-
lished by our fathers. He proclaimed
himself u Jeffsrsonian Democrat, and
dad great faith in the triumph of those
principles. Mr.. Stephens had an i'm
mense audience, and spoke with clear
ness and vigor, exhibiting no signs Of
weariness.
