ABUSE or PUBLIC MEN.

The people Of free countries ought TO
be particularly considerate of the repu-
tation Of public men who arc faithful 10
their trusts. Such men are the peoples
servants, whom they have chosen, and
who are doing their work. II these men
go astray or prove incompetent, the dis
honor rests upon those who chose them,
and it is certain that the people must
defray the cost Of their misdeeds.
In private life n man is not respected
who abuses his clerks, and has no regard
for their regulations or their characters.
We say that he is a scurvy fellow; that
he lacks some of the qualities that are
essential in n good business man. We
are not surprised when his clerks prove
unfaithful, or he proves unsuccessful,
through poor Judgment in his business
undertakings.
The same principle. in a degree, APP
Plies TO public men. We who selected
them, who pay them, who are RESPONSE
BILE for them, are bound to give them tho
fairest chance TO do well. We are fool
ish if we donot. We are like a man who
should pay large sum for a horse, and
then give him unhealthy food, or lame
his fore feet.
Next TO the man who ill-treats a wom-
an, we despise the American citizen who
treats public man with personal dis
respect, for mere party reasons. Why
do we so universally abhor a man who
abuses a woman Because a man is
stronger than a woman, and,
ordinarily, she cannot defend herself.
No more can President, or Cabinet
Minister, or most public officials. Eli
quette commonly closes their mouths
against the most brutal calumny. They
stand as public targets, open TO the shot
of every passer-by who has malice in his
heart.
Mind, we are now speaking of per-
sonal abuse only. Let there DO the
and strongest criticism of pub
lie men as public men. II their meas
ures are unwise or ill-timed, let the fact
be stated with all needful emphasis and
iteration. II there is good reason for
them corrupt their conduct
should be probed and investigated. But
while public man is apparently trying
conscientiously to do his duty every good
citizen should regard an abusive person
al attack upon him as an oiIense against
himself.
Upon this point we will relate two
small anecdotes. We noticed while
ago upon a friends table, in distant
city, a copy Of the weekly edition of the
London Times. Seeing our look of Gu
riosity, he said:
eyes, l take the Times. prefer to
get my news now by way Of London. L
,an afford TO take only one newspaper,
md in this one L have my news without
my personalities.
Our other incident also occurred in a
Western city. Agentleman retired from
business was asked 10 become a candi-
late for election to Congress. Hisreply,
n substance, was this
"You know how our public men are
abused, and why they are abused Now,
I / should accept your nomination, 1
night stand the abuse myself, but L do
not want my children TO read every
in the papers that their father

SENATOR BEN HILL, who for the
last few months has suffered many
deaths of cancer Of the tongue,
died at Clio A. NJ. Wednesday. Con.
scious of his approaching end, he had
arranged all his earthly affairs, and
anxiously awaited the summons. His
last words, before choking to death,
we're: "Almost home," which he
said in a distinct and audible tone.
He was born in Georgia, in Septem-
Der 1923, and no other man of his
State, except Stephens, has been SO
hOnored as he, having been chosen to
gil nearly every Office from the small
est to the greatest. He was a very
lawyer, and had amassed a
large fortune at the practice of his
profession. His place will be hard to
ell, for he has stood nobly by the
South, on every and all occasions.

the total defeat Of the party in that
county. Does this look like genuine
friendship for the negro, and sincere
desire to elevate him in the scale Of
manhood, on the part Of the white re-
publicans, or does il look like down.
right unadulterated hypocracyS
Now and then a hollow compliment
is paid to one of the race for political
effect, but care is always taken that
nothing Of a substantial or valuable
nature is given him. A notable in
stance Of this kind was the selection
Of Geo. w. Gentry, Of this county, as
their candidate for Elector in 1881
a position without any compensation
or real value whatever. And they
even denied to him in that case, the
privilege of acquiring such distinction
as he might here, and as men in such
positions always do, by canvassing
the district. We venture to say there
is not another instance on record
where a candidate for elector failed to
make a single speech during the entire
campaign for which he was appoint
ed.
Surely il is high time that these
cOlored people were opening their eyes
to the outrageous manner in which
they are being duped by their alleged
benefactors. and high time for them
to emancipate themselves from the po-
Iitical slavery in which they are being
held.

JOE BLACKBURN and Will Owens
opened the canvass for the congress.
sional nomination in the seventh dis
trict Monday. Blackburn led off, and
his 45-minute effort was mainly a re.
view of his service in Congress and
the good things he had done for the
country. Ovens followed and devot-
ed an hour to about as salty talk as
windy Joe ever listened to, and it is
said that he fairly squirmed in his
seat. He denied that Joe had ever
accomplished any good for the party,
but on the contrary had done it meal
culable injury by his i'll advised and
fire. eating expressions, which had fur
nished campaign capital for the speech
es of the enemy and given them sub
iects for their transparencies. He
blamed him for getting into the wordy
warfare with the ignoble Burbridge
and for calling Senator Williams
liar and then backing out of it. 9th.
err deeds of commission as well as of
omission we're commented on amid the
most vociferous cheers OF the Owens
crowd. He thought the State had
had enough of the Blackburn family,
aud he intended, with the help of his
constituency, to retire at least one of
them. Blackburn had a 10 minute
rejoinder, and it is said that he fairly
made the room reek with the fumes
of birthstone. The canvass will be a
purely personal one, and as it is to
last for four weeks and every day in
the week except Sunday, red-hot
time is assured; and Owens will no
doubt have occasion to see whether, as
he charged, Blackburn does more
talking and less fighting than any man
in the country.

Through the forethought, in time of
need, of our worthy towncouncilman,
Bernard Martin, Constable Johnston
has been furnished with patent GALA
boOse for the confinement of "goers
through the town." who cannot pass
without taking in too much adulterated
John Barleycorn." We are not posted
as to the exact dimensions of this
apartment, but guess it about the size
Of a B. Martins abode. Constable
Johnston consigned to its dismal
shades three negroes who had taken
too much of "that which enters the
mouth and steals the brains" We
are told that they pronounce it an an
tidote for drunkenness.
