SENATOR BEN Hull.
A visit 10 the Great Orator-At Hts
Homo.

From the Macon tGal Telegraph, July 1oth.
A few days since in company with afriend,
We called upon Senator Hill. We had not
seen him since the early days of the Hancock
campaign, at a time when his grievous sffiic-
ton had not begun 10 excite apprehension.
Met at the door by the faithful son who bears
his name, We were informed that we could
but pass into his room and shake his hand,
as his strength was going " it'll the deepening
shadows OF the close of summer day. In
comfortable sitting-room, near window,
sat the great orator in an invalid's
chair, while the tender hands of
daughter famed his fevered brow. There
was nothing left of Ben Hill but the
great gapnt form and the luminous eyes.
These. made larger by pain and suffering,
seepled TO be surcharged with his soul, and
almost capable of speech. With his collar
thrown open at the neck, his hands hanging
listiessly upon the arms of the chair, and
his head Sigh tly inclined down and forward,
he reminded US of the dying Napoleon, as
illustrated in the celebrated statue in the
Corcoran art gallery, while his eyes followed
one with a sad and questioning power like
unto those of Charlotte Corday peering
through the bars OF her prison window.
Motioning as to a chair near his OVID, he
grasped our hand and sat for many moments
hxedly gazing into our face as If to read our
thoughts. Suddenly he raised himself, and,
fronting us fully with a mighty effort, he
said:
II had desired to live for, two reasons,
chief among which was that / might have
made a speech, which had partly prepared,
to the people OF this whole country upon the

nothing more and nothing Jess. Ny friend,
we cannot have good government or stable
society in this land when one party seeks 10
dominate the other by the use of ihe negro
His voice had grown stronger and more
distinct as he spoke, and then came the old
Hash TO his eve, the familiar poise OF the
head, and his marked gesticulation. His
attendants gave evident signs of alarm at
this unusual effort, and in obedience to their
suggestions We arose 10 go, telling him that
we could not permit him to injure himself by
an attempt TO talk, and that we fully took
the idea that he was endeavoring to impress
upon US. Still clInging to our hand, he con-
tinued IN a stronger voice and with more
energy: You have always had ii, you have
always understood it. You stated il strongly
and illustrated it admirably in the Rountree
case. This idea was the basis of my notes
on the situation" At this point it was sim
ply impossible that the scene should be al
lowed to continue, but he did not release his
hold until he had exacted promise that we
would call again and listen when he was
better able to speak. We left him with the
solemn impression tina: we should not look
upon him again in life, but cheered and
strengthened by the sublime courage of
diving man.

The causeless and unjust opposition to
Pat Winters has exhausted ITSELF Indeed
the reaction has set in, and he will on the
lay Of election be found abreast with his
Ticket. The war made upon the Democratic
nominee TOR County Court clerk has ind d. ed
thoughtful men 10 see if there was anything
70 Justify this opposition, and after careful
Investigation Of his private life and official
acts nothing can be found to censure or con-
demu. Pat Winters has served the people
sheriff, recorder and magistrate, and no
one has been able to lay finger upon any
dereliction OF duty. He was sheriff of Shelby
county many years ago when there was
much deialcation among county officials, and
extensive as were his duties and numerous
were hia -daputies, he Kept faithful
watch over the public interest and retired
from Office with. clean hands. AS recorder
he was a faithful conservator of the peace.
No man stands higher in commercial cir
cles than p. NJ. Winters. Since he is blame
lstss in his public life, and especially since it
is known he has ever been faithful official,
punctillious in the discharge of his duties,
the people begin to see that he is wrongfully
assailed, and influenced BY that sense of JUS
tice, fairness and humanity which finds
place in the breast of honest men, they will
rally to the support of p NJ Winters.

THE VALUE or GOOD KoADs.

Nothing contributes so much 10 the pros
perity OF city as good roads. In other
days macadamizsd roads built up cities
with great rapidly. Half a dozen pixies
radiating from town brought to it as much
trade, wealth and population as SO many
railroads. First among nations, the Romans
fully appreciated the value of good roads,
and constructed great highways from the
frontiers to the capital, and hence the pre-
verb that "all roads lead 10 Rome" These
roads subserved in slow way the purposes
Of railroads. Troops were rapidly trans
ported over these roads to sappress out
breaks in the interior, and in time OF peace
they were used to make Rome great COM
mercial center. II Memphis had 10 rail-
road facilities dozen pixies radiaiing in DIFF
ferent directions would maintain . city equal
TO our present population. In the mania
and clamor for railroads the people forget
the importance OF building macadamized
roads. Other towns and cities are discuss
ing the road question as an important factor
for increasing wealth aud population. As
evidence of this we refer to the following
extract from the Knoxville Tribune:
There are now sixty-one convicts in the county
workhouse, and the work by them on the Taze-
well pike is progressing They will finish this
road in about two months and 1t will then be
piked ten miles from the city. We understand
that the rock crusher Will soon be purchased and
will be put to work the road at once. The
workhouse hands will be taken to the Rutledge
pike after finishing the road where they now are.
Shelby county should profit by the ex-
ample of our Knoxville friends. Convicts
could not be more probably employed than
in working upon the county roads. II their
labor should be diverted in this direction, 10
the course of a few years dozen pixies could
be built leading from Memphis twenty miles
in the country. What the Romans accom-
plished through their roads is one of the
most significant lessons OF history, and shows
that all that the Goulds, Huntingtons and
Vanderbilts have accomplished has been
simply by putting in practice, through the
strong arms of steam, a principle which was
fully worked out by the Romans before the
coming OF the Messiah. The importance OF |
good country pixies cannot be overestimated. |
If Knox county has used successfully the
convict labor in piking the public roads
Shelby ought to make the ex pertinent.

Cr,no,e,te and Crinoli.e.

to the real difference between the crinolette
and criuoline: 'fThe crinolette Is simply a

FIRED AND BOB.

Robert 4. Lincoln has been brought for
ward as a candidate for the presidency in
1884. He has nothing to recommend him
If his nomination is TO be urged on this ac-
count, the third-termers ought 10 bring for
ward the name of Fred Grant, for Fred's
fa'her has more prestige than Bob can clai m
for his illustrious sire. These two sprigs OF
nobility howled in the Chicago convention
for third term, and 1t would be a sad spec
tacle to see them rivals before the next Re
publican National Convention. Bob seems
TO have the bulge on Fred. The house of
Grant does not wear cheerful aspect
at present, while the house of Lincoln
is serene and lovely. Robert L. Lincoln
is urged because, while he is Stall
wart, he is unobjectionable to Garfeld's
friends. The Republicans have dis
covered that there is much discomfort among
the colored vote; that they are about to assert
their independence, and they argue that
the nomination of Bob would consolidate the
colored vote on the son because of the cele-
brated proclamation of the father, which
gave the DidCkb tneT iEeeuOu. i ne udm6
of Lincoln would no doubt consolidate the
colored vote in the next presidential cleo
ton, but Abe Lincoln had no more to do
with freeing the negro than the man in the
moon. Lincoln's proclamation was neces-
sity; it was reluctantly issued not from any
love of the negro, but to save the union. He
was not an abolitionist per sc. He had no
antipathy TO slavery, and would at any day
during the war have guaranteed the perpe-
tuity Of slavery if the rebels had agreed to
disband on. such conditions. This fact is
demonstrated 10 President Lincoln's reply to
Horace Greeley's famous letter, entitled 'The
Prayer of Twenty Millions" in the summer
of 1862. The words which Lincoln tele-
graphed back to Greeley and to the country
were as follows:
Ny paramount object is TO save the Union. and
not either to save destroy slavery. II / could
would do 1t; IL could it by freeing all the
Slaves would do it; and If could do it by free
ing some and leaving others alone. would also |
do that What do about slavery and the colored |
Union: and what forbear forbear because do |
not believe It would help to save the Union.
These words are cruel and hesrtless. They |
show no sympathy for the wrongs of the ne
gro. On the contrary, they express willing |
meas to continue the blacks in bondage, the !

This gentleman is the nominee for magis-
trate for the city at large. He is promi-
nent and upright citizsn, gentleman Of
great intelligence, and would make model
magistrate. The County Court needs more
frst.class bnsinrss men in its deliberations.
Major Goodman is the man to supply this de-
sideratun. His business experience is long
and varied, and he would prove a valuable
accession to the Quarterly County Court.
Msjor Goodman is fine scholar, has come
legal attainments, and with strong mind,
quick to grasp the law and the facts, he
would make a magistrate whose decisions
would command so much confidence and
respect that there would be but few sppeals
from them to higher court. The prospect
il that Msjor Goodman will have no serious
opposition, and he should be elected by the
rousing majority which he deserves. 1t is
favorable omen when men of clear heads,
broad views, honest purposes and fine intel
lectusl gifts, like Major Goodman, consent
to serve the people. The Office of magis-
trate in city like Memphis is equal to a
circuit judgeship in the country. and when
filled with such men as Major Goodman law
and justice will triumph.

slaves OF cruel masters, il the rebels would
return to their plantations and continue The
same old business OF lashing the naked back
of The poor negroes. But in their stupidity
and ignorance the blacks believe that Lin
coin freed them because he loved them and
desired their freedom. They are also silly
enough 10 believe that AbeLincoln WAS in
favor of social equality. In a hundred
speeches Mr.. Lincoln said:
will say, then, that i am not nor ever have
been in favor Of bringing about in any way the
social and political equality OF the white and
block races; that am not or ever have been IN
of qualifying them 10 mold pfiee, or tnterInaTry
with the white people; and Twill say in addition
70 this. that there is a physical difference be-
tween-the white and black races which believe
Will forever forbid the two races living together
inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do
remain together there must be the superior and
inferior, and l. as much as any other man, am in
the white race.
These are not the accidental utterances OF
Mr. Lincoln, for he repeated these sentiments
from day 10 day in his memorable debate
with Stephen A. Douglas in 1858, and re-
pested them in Columbus in 1859. He always
insisted that the negro was and must ever re-
ain inferior TO the white race. We sincerely
believe that unqualified suffrage for the ne
groes would not have been imposed on the
South if Mr.. Lincoln, to our almost irrepar-
able loss, had no; been murdered. Such men
as Andrews, of Massachusetts,, Morton, OF In
diana, sud Horace Greeley were uuquestion-
ably opposed TO it. Their desire was to fit
the freedman for the suffrage before il was
given TO him, and that was the right course.
The ballot is no protection to those who have
not the intelligence, the experience and the
10 use it worthily.
