Gath Sketches Hendricks,
Cincinnati Enquirer
I formed an estimate of Mr. Hen
dricks, after hearing his speech,
which you may take for what it is
worth. 1 have been looking at him
several years, both inthe Senate and
elsewhere: '
A man admirable for a neighbor,
for counsellor, and for a negative
associate ; worth very little for action,
for high responsibility, or to say ‘No.’
His appearance is pleasure, but
neither refined nor magnetic. He
woos you like the eat, by rubbing
against you pleasingly,warming your
legs, and making you say:‘'‘Tom,
Tom, how nice and soft you are l
But wtiy can’t use- rub sparks out of
your back in the dark?” Because,
Tom. you are not a eat of that kind.
Large, fattish eats that stay around
home and never scratch nor stay out
all night awaken at length the sing
ular remark from little Johnny :
“Ma, why don’t we have kittens,
too ?”
The temperament of Mr. Hendricks
is not adapted to great sacrifices nor
great mistakes. His school-fellows
and law-students all like him, yet at
no supreme moment of their careers
did they ever see .embodied in him
the fatherhood and authority, the
incision and lightning, which made
them quail or honor him. Bred to
politics and descended from it, he
has not imitated other heirs of states
men like lJeWitt Clinton, or Frank
Blair, Jr., or Mr. Pendleton in ad
vancing new positions, expressing
new indignations, or carrying
through minority to heroship any
especial cause, lie is Hendricks,
the political favorite and old belle,
llis easy manners and respectable
habits and address and undisputed
honesty in fiscal things have always
made him a successful bureau officer
and governor. His training at the
Bar lias made him a graceful and
pleasing Senator, and although never
taking the brunt of any battle, and
being always fortunate in the tactic
al place he appeared to be at, he lias
invariably sustained himself by a
mixture of legal clearness and cour
tesy. Such a man emphatisly belongs
in the Senate. I still remember his
remarks at the conclusion of Andrew
Johnson’s trial:
“1 ask my brother Senators what
answer will they make to the people
when they ask why we selected him
for a sacrifice fordoing just what was
always recognized as a right in his
predecessors. Upon my oath I can
not strike such a blow. If we drive
him from the office and give it to a
member of this body it does seem to
me that we will do an act of such fla
grant injustice and cruelty as to bring
upon our heads the indignant con
demnation of all just men, and this
unimpeachment will stand itself im
peached before the civilized world.”
That is a typical sentence from
Hendricks at a strong period of his
own career. ‘‘lt does seem to me,”
he says. Now, a first-class spirit
would have had no seeming about
such a fact. The impeachment trial
was a piece of grand larceny, and a
Democratic Senator might as well
have said : ‘‘lt does seem to me that
I see a man stealing something yon
der,” as to say that such an outra
geous usurpation seemed to be what
it was.
If we had nothing to think about,
nothing to advance to, no issues and
only quiet times, Mr. Hendricks
would make as good a President as
Frank Pierce.* He would be respec
ted and liked, and would greatly en
rage the opposite party by his easy
way of shooting rapids and diving
under dilemmas. We would be a
widowed country, married to a fine
middleaged widower, no jealousy be
tween us; no passion; nothing but
“Dear Columby” and “Dear Tom,”
and “which is your night-cap and
which is mine?” and “which has the
frills on it?”
Is that all ? Methinks if I was
such a widow I would have a young
man or perish. If he was old lie
should occasionally kick me out of
bed, at least to show his spirit.
Governor Hartranft puts it in
about the right way : “You would
think Hayes’ policy a failure if you
were to talk with many of the poli
ticians, but if on the other hand, you
go among the people, they talk very
differently, and think it is a success.
It seems to be popular with the peo
ple, as far as I have seen, everywhere.
The Governor does not think: the
Democrats will carry the country in
1880, and believes the logic of events
is against their carrying any national
election, unless under very exception
al circumstances-
3| The Baltimore Collectorship,
following from the Philadel
lawt Times is one of the most fair and
pjjlted articles we have seen on this
n’t do not know ofany special ob
jertjons in Mr. Thomas, either rela
ting to liis public or private eharac
taspr to his general fitness for the
plWe ; nor are we aware of any spe
cifclgpersoual or public reasons why
Mr. Wi ikins should'remain inthe
coylctorship beyond the fact of his
cofftssed i ntegrity and competency
folflic position ; but if Mr. Fulton’s
letter presents the true inwardness
of ffpe revision of the Federal slate
imorvytbea the Presideut can.
not too soon nor too thoroughly wash
his hands of the whole transaction.
Mr. Fulton’s letter is either imper
tinent to a degree that should exclude
him from the councils of the Presi
dent in making up liis list of Balti
more appointments, or it exposes the
Presideut iu the tolerance of low po
litical jugglery that equals the worst
type of Grantisin in dispensing pub
lic patronage. It bears on its face
the plain assumption that Mr. Ful
ton is tlie trusted oracle of Hayes in
Maryland, and that he can propose
any political trade that may gratify
liis factious predudicesor partisan in
terests, with full confidence that he
will not offend ; and he asks for the
prompt appointment of the men rec
ommended by “Mr. Thomas and
myself” with thsairof a master who
can brook no denial. He makes no
complaint against any of the Federal
officials on the ground of infidelity
or inefficiency in the discharge of
public duties ; but Collector Wilkins
lias offended Mr. Fulton ; lie lias not
danced when Mr. Fulton piped ;he
lias eveu fraternized with Mr. Cress
well ; lie has not obeyed Mr. Thomas
in walking the party plank, and for
not sheezing when Mr. Fulton snuff
ed he must be overthrown, however
faithful as a public servant.
Then Mr. Fulton is ambitious to
convulse Maryland from centre to
circumference. He would “electrify
the whole State,” and how ? Not by
filling the Federal offices with men
who will be more acceptable in the
discharge of official duties, but it is
assumed that the whole Republican
population of rural Maryland will
shout hosannas and rush into invin
cible columns for the next election,
and that the Plug-Uglies of Balti
more will Hoist the banner of reform
and shout themselves hoarse over it,
“if the President will promptly make
the appointments for Maryland that
have been suggested by Mr. Thomas
and myself.”
Mr. Thomas, it seems, so far over
came his modesty as to recommend
Mr. Thomas for collector, and Mr.
Fulton joined in the suggestion, not
because Mr. Thomas is a better man
than Mr. Wilkins, but because it
would “electrify the whole State” to
see a complete assortment of Federal
officials in the Monumental city bear
inn banners with the strange device
—“I am Fulton’s man.” Then comes
the glowing description of the golden
harvest that is to follow the planting
by Ilayes and the watering by Ful
ton : “I promise him (the President)
to return the election of a Reform
candidate for Mayor next fall.” Not
only does Fulton propose to enthuse
the rural districts of the whole State
as if by the lightning flash, but he
holds in his hands the municipal
crown of his city, and he offers it to
the President “in return” for a full
line of offices delivered in Fulton
leading strings.
There is just one way out of this
disgraceful Fulton jugglery for Pres
ident Hayes, and that is to stop
where he is and make tip a new list
of appointments of liis own composed
of first class citizens who worship
neither Mr. Fulton nor Mr. Cress
well, but who will be faithful officers;
men who will leave political pyro
technics and electric revolutions to
the political clowns who proffer com
monwealths and cities “in return”
for the plunder of an adminstration,
as did one of old whose title was
about equal to the title now proffered
to President Hayes.
The investigation into the election
of Senator Grover, of Oregon fame,
has developed so far the fact that a
considerable sum of money was used
to “fix Democratic members before
they would go into caucus and vote
for Grover’s election. The best
thing the Senate can do is to “'fix”'
Grover, now, and let him remain in
Oregon to ponder over the mysteries
of his “Gobble” telegram to Tilden,
ami the uncertainty of political
events.
Fourth of July Dissipation,
We believe more Americans dis
sipate, more violence is committed,
more wives’, mothers’ and sisters’
hearts are made to bleed on the day
we celebrate than any other in the
whole BGS. Singular as it may sound,
and sitd as it reads, husbands who
occasionally indulge too freely, are
sure to get drunk on the Fourth;
young men who never before per
mitted the evil monster to master
them, give this day to their country,
and, in honor of the day, prostitutute
manhood, get “gloriously” drunk,
and make tragic pictures of a future
life that frightens some gray-headed
fatfieivituU. griewps. tlm heart of w
loving, disappointed mother; the
gentlemanly tippler sets an example
to his younger inexperienced com
panions and acquaintances, by taking
less in quantity, but repeats often
enough to keep idiotic all day, and
that’s called celebrating the Fourtli;
the ruffian imbibes freely, makes day
and night hideous with gross vul
garity, profanity, and riotous con
duct, all in honor of our country’s
birthday. There are memories asso
ciated with July the 4th that make
it dear to every American patriot,
but the too common abuses and dis
orders incidental to celebrating the
anniversars of our Republic’s birth,
are in sad contrast with the teachings
and precepts of those who gave it
ex is tence.— Keyser Tribune.
Any one passing down George’s
Creek cannot fail to be impressed
with the great extent of business de
pretsion with which this region is
now afflicted. Men and boys, hear
ty, strong, industrious workers, are
to be seen everywhere idle. “Noth
ing to do” is tlie common remark.
The little work doing is distributed
among so many that it amounts to
almost nothing to anybody. Verily,
we are over-populous. —Fostbarg
Journal.
Beef Exports to Europe.
It seem that the reports of a great
decline in the American exporta
tions of fresh beef to Europe are un
founded. A Statement recently pub
lished by the bureau of statistics
shows that the first shipments of
fresh beef from the United States to
Europe were made in October, 1875
during which 36,000 pounds, valued
at 8?,800, were shipped. The same
number of pounds were shipped
the month following. These two
months’ shipments which appear to
have been experimental, proved
eminently successful, and from that
time forward the exportation lias
steadly increased, going from 3(5,000
pounds, in October, 1875 to 134,000
in December of the same year. For
the three months ended March 31,-
1876. there were exported 766,000
pounds, valued at ¥61.000. From
March to October 1876, the shipments
exceeded 1.000,000 pounds per month
and during the last three J months of
1876 the shipments reached an aver
age of 3,300,000 pounds per month.
Until October last no shipments
were made from Philadelphia. The
first monthly shipment from that
port aggregated about 151,000 pounds
valued at sl4, 368. Since then there
has been an increase eacli month in
the shipments from that city, and
for the eight months, up to June 1,
aggregated 9,457,260 pounds, valued
at $890,568. The total amount shipped
from the United States from October |
1876, to June 1, 1877, a period of
twenty months, was 50,156,447 j
pounds, valued at $4,564,638.
The United States Supreme Court
has rendered a decision in another [
“Granger” case, affirming the right |
of a state to fix the rates of fare ami j
freights on railways, unlest such }
railways are protected by their,
charters. The Chief Justice, who de- [
livered tlie opinon, held that the j
corporation—the Chicago, Burling- j
ton and Quincy Railroad Company j
is liable to sucli rules and regulations !
as may be prescribed by the lowa
legislature : in fact that when the
legislature steps in and fixes rates it
operates upon this corporation tlie
same as it does upon individuals en- j
gaged in a similiar business. The
Supreme Court sometime ago ren ]
dered a like decision, and it is not j
likely that any more cases of this
class will be appealed to that tribu
nal.
There is a general feeling in the
North that the demand of Senator
Ransom that tlie President should
show his good will toward the South
by pardoning illicit whiskey distill
ers is something too much. Thecon
cilation of the South and a jail deliv
ery are quite different propositions.
NUMBER 20.
An American Prince in London.
Mr. Jesse Root Grant writes from
London to a friend in this country:
“Of course you have seen in tlie
papers tiie gratiifying manner father'
lias been received in Eglaud. It is a
rather nice tiling to read about, but
when you have to go out every even
ing to a dinner at some Duke’s or
Earl’s and afternoon at some Lord’s
it gets to be what you might call a
bore. When one travels ho wants to
see the country and study the man
ners and habits of the middle classes,
and not the fashionable, which is
the same all the world over. * * * It
is rather amusing the way 1 am
•treated here. They consider me a’
prince, and at all the dinner parties
I sit ahead of all the noblemen, and
the waiters say. Will his Excellency
have so lie lish?’ &c., and once I
started to speak to some old fellow
near me who did not hear me, and
the waiter gave him a punch inter
rupting him in some conversation,
and told him that His Excellency
was speaking. 1 have had to make
several speeches at different banquets
and have generally, a miserable
time.”
The Cincinnati Commercial has
reason to believe that the Mexican
policy of the Ilayes administration
will be substantially the same as that
of Grant’s administration, and says:
“There need he no apprehension
that the present administration will
depart from tlie policy of its pre
decessor as respects the inviolability
of the territory of neighboring
powers. All rumors and stories in
dicating others than a conservative
course of action may be set down at
the outset as idle inventions of cor
respondents who find the resources
of sensation limited, with tlie pros
pect of a dull term before them.”
I'lie Lonaconing J/mertells a good
story of a man in that town who un
dertook to play a joke upon an ac
quaintance, and had it turned on
himself. A lady had a little bill
j against No 2, and complained to No
1 that she could not collect it, when
lie told her to present it and demand
! the money at a festive occasion, in
I the midst of a parlor full of company
promising to pay lialf the bill if No.
i 2 failed to “come up.” No. 2 did not
and the lady thereupon demanded'of
; No. 1 the “half”—s292—which he
declined to pay. She brought suit
| for it and Justice Dooley gave her a
judgment’ with costs to about tho
size of tlie bill.
Mrs. Frances Preston Blair, relict
of the late Francis P. Blair, and moth
er of Hon. Montgomety Blair, died
suddenly at the family mansion, near
Silver Spring, Md., about 2 o’clock
Thursday morning. She was out
riding on horseback on the afternoon
of the Fourth, as lias been her habit
for some time past, and retired to
bed in the evening in her usual
health.
At the dedication of a drinking
fountain in Pittsfield, Mass. Wednes
day, Senator Dawes made an address
accepting it, saying that lie “had
found it easier not to drink liquor
at all than to drink moderately,
however innocent and harmless that
might be toothers.” He thought the
women ought to keep on erecting
fountains till at every turn they
would take the place of corner-groce
ries.
The Hon. Jei*e, Black’s ferocious
attack upon the Electoral Tribunal
is a little too reckless to please eveu
the Democrats. The party press han
dles it gingerly and quotes from it
sparingly. There seems to be a dis
position to realize that it is not
especially brilliant to attack a body
of Democratic creation because it
produced a different result from that
expected.
John Morrissey was handed an
invitation to attend the Manhattan
Club reception to Hendricks. He
jumped up, kicked over a chair in
his excitement, and cried out: “Lar
ry, close the bank lock up the course
fetch my swallow-tail and French
dictionary, and don’t let no duffer
play a dollar agin the bank till I get
back from recepting. D’ yer hear?”
—Brooklgn Argus.
It is a good sign that forty-nine
large New England cotton mills, be
ing about thirty per cent, of tho
whole Northern manufacture, have
for the first six months of 1877 used
about three per cent, more cotton
than in the same period ef 1876.
This makes about five per cent, more
in quantity of manufactured goods,
measured by pounds; and it Indicates'
that there is after all a market.
