EIGHT GOVERNORS OF ALABAMA
1874—J 901
No. 3—The Opening of an Historic Campaign
The democratic and conservative party
campaign of the spring and summer of
1874 for the election of a state govern
ment had a substructure in the collapse
of the element In possession and Its
ignoble impotency to maintain even the
forms of law and order any longer. Ite
tur nto military rule was the alternative:
of return of the state to Its natural con
stituency.
The attorney general s legislature, for
its second and last sessions, assembled the
middle of November and adjourned final
ly for want of funds to pay the per diem,
the middle of the next month. The clos
ing year had left a long list of disasters
in its course. The fields everywhere had
failed of their accustomed harvests. The
most successful farmers were in despair.
The yellow fever epidemic had prevailed
with extreme virulence In Mobile and
abated nothing In its ravages at Mont
gomery. At the moment when the short
cotton crop was reaching the market the
price in a day fell from 15 to eight cents.
The Jay Gould panic, "Black Friday,”
had stricken Wall street. Depositors in
bciiiUs could not draw. United states
paper currency was a special favor, sold
them in limited amounts at a good
round discount. Governor Lewis informed
the legislature that *lie “had been unable
to sell for money any of the state bonds
during the present administration.” In
a word, the state credit was lost. Fifteen
millions of interest bearing debt was In
curred by state indorsement of railroad
bonds and the roads in no case paid
the interest. Nothing was doing well
but the management of the asylum for
the insane. .
The accomplished gentleman an I ardent
patriot, Robert Tyler, editor of the Mont
gomery Advertiser, was In the place of
leader left by Clanton, dead. The state
election was in November. On February
26 he issued a call for the meeting in
Montgomery of the state executive com-*
mittee. Every member answered to the
call—Thomas J. Judge, Watts, John D.
Phelan, Bethea. Sommerville, Clayton,
James Crook, Price Williams, Jr., Ligon,
William M. Lowe and all the others.
Every voice was exultant In the glorious
unity of Alabama, in the November pre
ceding a very successful agricultural
state fair had been held at Selma. It
was the first general public gathcr’ng
since the war. The number of people
from all over the state was a surprise.
Many hundreds of' Confederate veterans
yet in the strength of manhood were
there.
Gen. T. Mclver Law, Gen. George D.
Johnston, Gen. John T. Morgan, Gens.
Pettus, Shelley, Herbert and many others.
Mingling with these were young men and
women who had reached adolesence since
the war. The vast throng wore new
clothes and were happy'. After the day
was spent General Morgan invited a half
dozen of his friends to join him in an
hour of good cheer. Recalling some of
the incidents of the day and remarking
upon the fine spirit of the people, he lift
ed gracefully his glass exclaiming: “Gen
tlemen, this Is the resurrection morn of
Alabama!”
The committee without a moment’s hes
itation, prepared “An Address to the Peo
ple of Alabama.” Rich in argument, soul
stirring in its ardor, the address bade
i, “All men of conservative instincts and
sentiments to rally in one determined and
gallant effort for social and political sal
vation!”
A few men of intelligence and good
repute in Alabama and in all the south
ern states under the ban, consorted with
the revolutionists at the expense of their
own mental conclusions that condemned
their conduct. Judge Rice was the rank
ing man of native ability in this class.
Associate Justice B. F. Saffold was on\y
less able than Rice. At the outset of the
reconstruction period Rice in public often
presented'unanswerable argument to con
demn his later course. Sa^Told wrote a
carefully studied and elaborate personal
letter to Governor Parsons declaring the
freedrnen to be a deadly incubus, that
they would cease to be either protflable
farm laborers or qualified domestic serv
ants, and the only escape from the race
was in prompt deportation of Jt.
The committee ordered a stat?nominat
ing convention for July 29. The part of
white men between times wm to make
ready. The sons of light were now of
one family, striving with darkness. Great
men had contended in ardent strife
against each other. That time had passed.
Forsyth and l^angdon had fought each
other bitterly. Hooper and Bullock had
been at enmity. Yancey and Hilliard
had met with visor down and lance
set for the end.
The noble appeal of the committee re
leased the energies of the whole mass.
Through the busy spring season, no far
mer was so busy that he would not leave
the plow In the unfinished furrow and
saddle the plow horse to attend the beat
meeting, where neighbors talked only of
a plan of redemption. No aspirant for
office failed to treat most reverently the
best meeting. Beat meetings© ripened into
county conventions and still the enthusi
asm broadened and the resolution deep
ened.
To Barbour the honor seems due of
leader in the movement of county conven
tions. Jefferson M. Buford was chairman
of the county sommittep. S. B. Jones was
secretary. Among the members weru
Henry D. Clayton, Alpheus Baker, John
D. Roquemore, S. H. Dent, John M. Mc
Leroy*. Early in May this committee is
sued an “address to whit© men.” It was
a classic utterance. No political crisis
was ever more eloquently described. "We
would awaken your judgment," was the
reading, “to a full appreciation of the
magnitude of the struggle we shall make
to place in better hands the, government
of our state. We would Impress upon you
the necessity of fearless, sagacious, united
action. We must find rescue for our peo
ple from the domination whose advent has
been followed by utter prostrations of our |
social and material prosperity. • • •
“Despondency lias spread Itself over
the country. Investments are not at
tempted. Industry is unrewared by those
comforts which in better days it was ever
able to provide. The interests of educa
tion are neglected; good schools are few
and far between; children, white and
black, are denied - rightful opportunity.
Poverty has crept into almost tvery homo
and want sits at many a fireside once
blessed with abundance.”
The Barbour county democratic conser
vative convention soon followed the pub
lication of the county committee address.
James L. Pugh wrote the resolutions.
These resolutions fixed the tone of all
county resolutions that followed. They
were a dispassionate, eloquent, logical,
convincing recapitulation of the experi
ence of the state for 10 years. They were
a bold declaration of purpose, a confi
dent announcement of anticipated suc
cess.
Perry followed. The county committee
here too took the initiative witti an ad
dress: "We would Implore you," said tbe
committee, to white men. "We would im
plore you b/ all you hold dear, by the
grievances, the oppressions, the wrongs
you endure; by the bright hopes of the
future, to throw aside all lethargy, indif
Urence and despair and prepare your

By HIGH W, ROBERTS
WASHINGTON, not only by the
residents of this city, but by all
who come, Is universally hailed
the most beautiful. It Is unique In that
alone of all large cities of America, room
Is found for trees and excuse for shrub
bery.
In outward appearance, Washington Is
different. Otherwise it is an American
lity with the vices and vagaris of other
cities, the struggle for money, the shams
city with the vices and vagares of other
It is said that Washington as the cap
ital of the nation is the Ay of all the
people, that in Washington there is no
rorth and south and east and west. And
yet In Washington, as the result of the
unbalanced power of the sections in Con
gress, the men of the past are not
weighed in accordance with merit and ac
complishment, but are judged solely by
the color of the uniform they wore or the
location of the hamlet from which they
came: this despite the fact that the Dis
trict of Columbia was carved from a
southern state, and the other fact that
the majority of those who reside in
Washington are descendents of Virginians
and Marylanders.
One walks the streets and avenues of
Washington and glories in the knowedge
that men of today are not too busy to do
credit to those who achieved glory In the
yesteryettrs. One beholds the statue of
Lafayette, the great ami beloved French
man of Rochambcau, and the gallant
Pulaski, who fell at Savannaliu One be
holds the monument erected In honor of
Washington, the father of the country,
and the embodiment of truth. One be
holds Jefferson and Madison and Adams,
Marshall. Hamilton, Jackson, and every
where Lincoln, and the great General
Grant,.
But in Washington, the capital of all
the people, Washington, so quick to rec
ognize the value of real men, one looks in
vain for Robert E. Lee. the renowned and
beloved Virginian, generally said to have
been the greatest soldier of all those
whose deeds are recorded in the annals of
the nation. One looks in vain for ' Stone
wall” Jackson, whose brilliant genius In
the art of warfare made him the sole
rival of Napoleon Bonaparte. One looks
in v ain for Joseph E. Johnston, whose re
treat to Atlanta before the overwhelming
strength of Sherman could not have been
executed more brilliantly by Fabtus of
old. One looks in vain for Albert Sidney
Johnston, who at Shiloh, but for the bul
let which ended his life, would have cap
tured the forces of Grant and Buell.
There is no J. E. B. Stuart, the flower of
southern chivalry, no Raphael Sentmes,
one of the greatest sailors of the nation.
But there Is Sherman, who carried the
torch through Georgia and laid waste as
fair a territory as women and children
ever wept upon. There are Pope, Mc
Dowell and Banks, all three of whom
and their armies Jackson whipped in a
day and night in" the valley. There is
Burnside who walked Into the trap at
Fredericksburg and foolishly sent his
men to the slaughter so well prepared.
There is Hooker, who was played with
and trapped and crushed by Doe and
rJackson at Chancellors ville. There is
Butler, who developed a fondness for the
silver spoons of the residents of New
Orleans.
But nowhere do you And Dee or Jack
son—and none were greater than these.
And this is the capital of all the people,
where no south Is known or north or eust
or west.
Some of these days the war will have
ended. The last battle will have be^n
fought. The cannon's roar will no more
disturb, and the heroes will gather In
friendship again to honor the rivals who
had done things and done them bravely
and with chivalrous spirit. And in the
capital of the nation these heroes will he
tonored, and only the heroes who accom
plished. There will be Dincoln, the mar
tyred president, Grant, his greatest gen
eral. Meade, who gallantly fought at Get
tysburg; Thomas, the rock of Chtcamau
ga, wrho saved a great army from rout
and capture; Sheridan, w'ho rode long and
well and gallantly. And there will be
I^ee, the great soldier and good soldier;
Jackson, the genius, the brilliant: the
Johnstons and the. Stuarts—and every
other man, it matters not his state, who,
in years a gone, did things, fought a battle
well and fairly, wrrote a book, sung a
song, cured disease, or invented some
thing for the comfort of his people.
Washington, January 2T>.
upon which hang the life of society and
of the 6tate.”
John Moore, John Walthall and their
peers, signed the county committee’s ad
dress.
Then the black belt put the movement
ot redemption upon its feet.
The extreme northern counties aroused
themselves. The party commmittee of
l.'mest'one issued an address animate with
the spirit of redemption. “You have a
high and sacred duty to perform,” ap
pealed the committee to the voters, “for
>our personal interests, and that is to or
ganize your meetings in all your civil
beats and choose delegates to a county
convention. . . . This is the only w’ay
to save the county from the disasters
which threaten us, and the evil and cor
rupting influences of the radical offlce
1 oldera.” The Limestone address was
s-gned by Thomas J. McClellan, Porter
Bibb, Davis, Ramsey and others.
The white counties eagerly took up
tjie movement. Tho Shelby commit too
composed of Castleberry, Deshazo and
others, sent out an address to the
whites saying: MThe negro population
of the state has in unmistakable terms
made an issue with the- whites. Tills
state is to be governed by ignorance
and superstition or by intelligence and
patriotism. The committee is unwilling
to believe there is a single white man
in this county who in such a contest
will for a moment hesitate.”
The ljee county committee, composed
of William J. Samford, W. B Am
brose. W. M. H. Griffin and others, ap
pealed to the white men with singu
lar impressiveness: 'The political cam
paign upon which wc* are now enter
ing is fraught with more Interest and
importance than any in which white
men have ever before engaged. * *
Time only ripens tho outbursts of the
enemy's passions into a settled policy
of malignant oppression, while our
patient and submissive acquiescence
has only invited, encouraged and reaped
a continuous increase of evil inflict
ed by arbitrary rule.”
The enemy was not asleep. General
Grant in the White House relaxed
nothing in his radical course. A ne
gro state convention assembled in
Montgomery the last week in June. It
was as usual coni tolled by white, in
stigators with the countenance of the
federal administration. White men
w’rote the resolutions. A part of tho
series wras as follows:
'Resolved, That the colored people or
Alabwia are In favor of free schools,
free churches, freedom of speech and
thought and action by all men; that we
are In favor of the civil and political
rights of all men, as embodied in our
constitution and our free institutions.
“Resolved, That the colored people of
Alabama, while according to all men
those Inalienable rights, born of Ameri
can cltisenshlp, demand the same shall
be guaranteed to them, and that they
favor such legislation as will secure
them fully in these rights and place
them beyond the control of the white
man’s party or any other party.”
The Montgomery Advertiser began to
suggest George 8. Houston as the can
didate of the democratic and conserva
tive party for governor and therefore
leader of the great stuggle.
The radicals at once brought forward
Governor I/gw is for re-election.
Mr. Houston objected to the us* of
his name. His nearest friends supported
his reluctance. They counselled him to
avoid so great a risk of the reputa
tion he then enjoyed as a successful
candidate for elective office.

A Newark man tells of an experience

basin on the back porch sufficed for the
family’s ablutions. For two mornings
the hired man watched the visitor’s ef
forts at making a toilet, but when on
the third day the tooth brush, nail file,
whisk broom, etc., had been used and
returned to their places In the travel

Berlin. January 23.—The use of the
flesh of dogs as a food for man Is be
coming common even In the capital
From necessity the German working
man has long made horse meat a sub
stantial portion of his daily fare, but
while Saxony consumes thousands of
dogs annually the practice of eating
this meat has not until recently In
vaded Russia.
Now the overseers of the Berlin cat
tle yards have gi\>en their approval of
a proposal to erect a municipal'
slaughter-house for dogs at the yards,
and It Is expected that the polled presi
dent will soon issue the required per
mit.
The use of opium in the Uuited States
has reached immense proportions as a
result chiefly of “the unwise form of
the prohibition movement in some
states," according to Professor Hueppe,
one of Germany’s hading authorities
and writers on alcoholism and other
diseases resulting from the abuse of
stimulants.
Professor Hueppe, who was reported
some time ago as saying, in an address
on "Sport and Stimulants" before a
scientific association of Berlin, that the
use of stimulants in America had taken
chiefly the form of indulgence In opium,
now explains that his statement was
not as broad as that.
The professor repeats, however, thal
the use of opium has spread over a
large part of the Uuited States. The
reason for this, he thinks, is to be found
.in prohibition laws. The use of all
stimulants, he says, arises from local
conditions. If one suppresses their
sale or use without regard to local
needs and to the historical development
of a people, other stimulants must take
the place of those interdicted Often
these new' stimulants are more danger
ous than those suppressed.
Other writers have questioned the
professor’s conclusions on the ground
that prohibition of the sale of alcoholic
stimulants is the exception rather than
the rule in the United States.
There is a likelihood that next sum
mer’s international regatta will furnish
no sonderclass opponents for the Amer
icana.
At present not one sonderclass yacht
Is being built by any of Germany’s
greatest yacht constructors, and none
will be unless conditions alter. The
German yachtsmen have long protested
• lass races—$1300—was too lowr to enable
class racers—$1300—wa8 to low to enable
them to compete with the higher priced
American yachts, and the builders also
demanded that the limit be raised. A
few weeks ago the price limit was in
creased with the consent of the Kmperor
to $1400, but the builders are still dissat
isfied with Ahis figure. They demand a
limit of $1625.
Whether the Emperor, to whose initia
tive and encouragement sonderclass rac
ing in Germany owes its development,
will consent to the new price limit is
doubtful. If he does not, there will prob
ably be no German competitors with the
American yachts.
Germany’* practlerfily applied science Is
about to rescue another waste product

Many members of the reichstag are
tired of paying railroad fares. To be
sure, they have passes good between their
homes and Berlin, while the reichstag Is
In session, bu* the national liberals at
least are not satisfied with that They
will propose, when parliament reconvenes
after the holidays, that passes good on
all railroads and at all times be Issued to
the legislators.
There was a time when this was the
rule. Bitch passes were Issued to mem
bers of the first reichstag, who then re
reived no pay for attending sessions. In
1*74 the railroad officials did a little quiet
Investigating and learned that one legis
lator had traveled more than 11.000 miles
In eight months, another more than *000,
and a third more than *000 miles. The
federal council thereupon put a stop lo
the custom by making the passes valid
only between the legislator'* home and
Berlin.
The national liberals now desire the
old custom renewed in full form, making
the passes good throughout the year, In
stead of only during sessions and eight
days before or after, as at present. Since
the ablllllon of the unlimited passes in
1*74. a law has been passed granting to
each member of the reichstag *750 salary.
Five dollars Is deducted, however, for
every sitting which he faJIs to attend or
for a roll call In which he is not recorded.
Greeley, the Speller
Fiom the Youth s Companion.
No champion of the old time spell ing
matches, perhaps, evei; excelled Horace
Greeley. He was, In fact, a spelling
prodigy. What would the boys and girls
of today, who grumble over their daily
stint of 20 words, think of a child not
yet six years old who could actually
spell every word in the language! That
is what the young Horace is said to
have been able to do.
ills schooling began in his fourth
year, and the-art of spelling at once be
came a passion with him. In school and
out, he kept Incessantly at Its study.
Hour after hour he would lie on the
floor, spelling over all the difficult
words he could find in the few books
that the family owned.
The fame of his prowess spread. Nat
urally, Horace was the first one chosen
at spelling matches. He had n lisping,
whining voice, and spelled his words
with the utmost confidence. Sometimes
in winter, when the snow drifts were so
deep that one of the big boys had to
take him to the school house on his
back, the little white-haired fellow
would drop asleep bet \vee*r turns. When
his word came round, his neighbor
would nudge him anxiously; he would
wake, spell his word, and drop asleep
again at once.
So great was the boy’s reputation ns
a student of unusual powers that the
selectmen of a neighboring town, in
passing a rule forbidding the attend
ance at the local school of any pupil
from outside the township, honored
him by adding tin
only Horace Greeley."
RELIGIOUS SABBATH
AND SUNDAY LAWS
nj- REV. J. W. WAI.UEN, n. I).
Distinctions make a difference. This is
true in everything. And the failure to
make distinctions produces confusion and
| conflict.
Jr. nothing is this more manifest than
in the matter of civic legislation with ;
I reference to Sunday.
There uie two distinct laws with refer
ence to tiie first day of the week, viz:
First, the religious law, with reference
to Sabbath keeping, and second, the civil
law with reference to Sunday rest. Acci
dentally and conventionally, not essential
ly and necessarily, do they happen to con
i cm themselves with the same day of the i
week. The one is a spiritual law, and the j
day appointed by divine authority. The j
other is an economic law, with the day
appointed by civic expediency.
These two laws differ: First, as to the
tnd in view. In the case of the religious
law, it is to promote the worship of God
rnd the spiritual development of man.
In the case of the civil law, it is to give
erely man protection in his natural right,
to rest one day Ip seven from physical
mil. Second, as to the ground upon which
they are based. In the case of the re
ligious law, the reason for it is the com
mand of God* as given in the Bible. In
the case of the civil law, the state, from
the survey of human history, recognizes
tlie need that men have for a weekly
rest, and from a wise and just el vie-ex
pediency makes a statutory provision tdr
it. In the exercise, of tlie same expedi
ency the state selects the first day of
the week, inasmuch as a large number
of her citizens are already resting that
day, for a religious purpose. It is there
foie the most convenient day for all.
3. As to the way in which they are
cl eyed. In the case of the religious law,
I it is properly obeyed, when, from a reli
gious motive and in the exercise of re
ligious functions, private and public, the
day is made a religious day. As to the
civil law', it is properly obeyed when citi
zens of the state lay aside all unneces
sary secular toil. The state In her
statutes Indicates what la unnecessary.
As to the enforcement of these laws.
In the case of the religious law. the ob
servance of the day is secured by spir
Itual means through the church. Obe
dience to this law Is secured by spiritual
sanction. In th© case of the clvtl law,
obedience is secured through civil pains
and penalties Civil sanctions enforce it.
If these distinctions are true, then the
two laws differ from each other, in toto
coelo. They touch each other only in the
accident of having reference to the same
day* of the week.
Home Inferences follow, which are wor
thy of serious consideration.
(at The church and church members,
as such, have nothing to do with making
and the maintaining of the civil law of
Sunday rest. It happens thal>-ohurch
members are also citizens of the state. As
such they are concerned with this law.
as with all other civil laws, on the same
grouind, for the same end and tn the
same way. But they have no ctvtl right
nor divine commandment to use the
state to carry out their religious ends.
The state Is not charged with moral or
religious functions. The citizens of the
state are not under obligation to God or
man to resort to civil legislation and the
enforcement of civil laws for the main
tenance of their moral or religious Ideas
and principles. This they do in a spir
itual way. by means of truth proclaimed
and believed in and through the church.
(bl The state, In legislation and en
forcement of her law. should see to it
that she Is proceeding on the ground of
civic expediency and justice. This should
be made clear In the whole matter of
civil action with reference to Run day leg
islation. However, she should enforce
this law. as enaoted by her^-just as she

that are God's." Church and state are
distinct institutions and should be kept
distinct. God has given laws for th#
guidance of IBs people; let the church be
conscientious and observe these laws, and
thereby promote religion in ths land. Th#
state gives laws for the guidance of lt»
citizens In th# ways of secular justice,
the one function for which th* state
exists; let all citizens obey these laws
and thereby maintain the peace and good
order of society.
