A nower !- State. If he held the
whole con; walth in the hollow 01
his Dalm thev couldn't make much more
ado over himkwe were; informed some-
ti me ago by Washington correspond
ents that he had resolved peremptorily
to retire from public life at tbfjend of
his term in Congress, betake himself to
the'shadea Jof Liberty Hall, and spend
the balance of his mortal days in the
retiracy of private life, occupied only
with his owtf aflairi This resolution
was repeated oter and over again as if
p eople doubted it, and it was something
it would not do to have any doubts
about This statement had hardly gone
the rounds and begun to be accepted as
a fact, when the independents an
nounced that it would never do to let
Mr. Stephens retire and deprive the
State and county of his valuable ser
vices, and the benefit of his mighty
brain, and to prevent such a catastro
phe they intended to nominate and elect
him srovernor. That was the last, we
heard of his quitting public life. When
interviewed on the gubernatorial prop
.Qsition he was non-committal, said he
was a son of Georgia, and no son of
Georgia had a tiuht to refuse the call
of his fellowjcitizens if they demanded
his services. He would obey the voice
of his people provided he was satisfied
that voice demanded his services. He
shrewdly refused to commit himself to
the independents, they having already
committeed themselves to him. As the
case now stands all the party, managers
are palling the wires to place him in
nomination, the independents having
put him forward and the Democrats be
ing afraid to ignore him. -
Can it be that Hon. A. H. Stephens ia
th only man in Georgia that possessesc
the confidence of the .people and the
only man that the Democrats could
elect? It may be so; it may be that
Dr. Felton, Marcellus Thornton, and
the balance of the nine would be a fear
ful foe to encounter marching under
the banner of independentism with A.
H. Stephens at their head, but if so it is
rough, very rough on Georgia. When a
State gets so that her destiny hangs on
one man, she must be getting pretty
near the ragged edge.
AN IRATE JUDGE.
The judges and the editors in the Mis
sissipi region appear to be getting tang
led. Not long ago Judge Monroe, of
New Orleans, had the editors of the
Mascotte,a paper published in that city,
arraigned before himf or contempt jof
court in refusing to obey an order "re
straining them from publishing certain
articles about the president of a street
railway company who had laid himself
subject to harsh criticism, and sentenc
ed them to ten days imprisonment An
appeal to the Supreme Court resulted in
revoking the sentence of Judge Mon
roe and in the discharge of the editors.
And now comes the case of Judge
Laughlin of St. Louis, whose mode of
doing business was commented upon in
a manner which offended his judicial
dignity, and he too summoned the rash
editor to answer for contempt of court.
The editor denied his jurisdiction
whereupon he waived his rights as
a judge and threw himself upon his
rights as a man. The editor having
failed to make a retraction within the
time specified he received a note from
the judge warning him to prepare for
any emergency that might arise, a gen
tle hint that the judicial gentleman,
disdaining to resort to the roundabout
mode of redress found in the duello, had
put on his war paint and was out in
search of an editorial scalp.
During the night, however, he found
out the author of the article complain
ed of which seems to have assuaged his
ire somewhat and caused a change of
programme, so that the editor retained
his scalp, the judge washed off his war
paint, put up his tomahawk, mounted
the bench the following day and resum
ed the dispensing of justice.
Going out thus on the war path was a
singular proceeding for a j udge w ho was
placed upon the bench to administer
the laws, and see the peace preserved,
but Western judges are sometimes orig
inal characters and do not always con
fine themselves to judicial modes in the
transaction 01 Dusiness. in this case
the editor preserved his accustomed
equanimity and at last accounts all
was quiet along the line.
A RINGING LETTER.
We publish in The Observer to day
a letter from Mr. W. W. Lenoir, of War
tauga county, in correction or a rumor
that connected him with the coalition
movement in this State. He not only
indignantly denies the slanderous re
port but gives the reasons why he
could not be persuaded to enter into
any such unholy alliance as is con tern
plated between the Radicals and those
who formerly acted with the Demo
cratic party and now propose to surren
der to the Radicals under the disguise
and-assumed name of Independents.
We like this letter, for it is written in
- plain, blunt, unequivocal style, and says
just what its author thinks and means.
It speaks, too, the sentiments of a man
who is in private life, no aspirant to
Office, and no politician in the ordinary
application or that wora; simply a
plain, retired, patriotic citizen, who
wishes well to his State, desires her
prosperity, and would see her escape
the perils that threaten her. From his
quiet home he views the situation with
a patriot's eye - and rings the note of
warning as he sees the danger, and
points out the perils that Ithreaten. If
he were a candidate for office he might
be accused or acting irom seinsh mo
tives to defeat a move that threatened
to defeat him, but this cannot be said
of "the private citizen who seeks noth
ting, asks nothing but that his State may
rospef ' and her people be happy and
-escape a return of the reign of corrup-
tion and misrule which oppressed her a 1
-ftew years ago, and brought discord and J.

Col. John A,; Sloan formerly of ixs
State, but now a resident or: Washing

took in the war between the States.
There is need for such a work that the
deeds and -heroic sacrifices of North
Carolina's sons may be duly chronicled
and ' preserved for-future generations.

large information. We published a
card from him yesterday in which he
solicits correspondence and the supply

the matter in hand. We trust he will
meet with the responses he desires and
every encouragement in the merito
rious work upon which he has entered.

Wilmington Star.
Wc.'L. Pildgen, a resident of the
southern part of the city, left home on

samer vicinity until the latter returned
here last Sanrrday nrgnt, when he was
questioned about the matter ana stated
that Pridgen was to have gone with
him on that Monday morning, but he

Mr, Pridgen was formerly engaged in
the hoisting business, and is well
known about town.

House. The request of the Senate
l for the return of the 5 per cent, land
bill was acceded to.
Calkins, of Indiana, rising to a ques
tion of personal privilege, sent to the
clerk's desk and had read that portion
of the letter written by Hewitt, of
New York, to Manning, of Mississippi,
which: charges that the committee on
elections refused to investigate charg
es of forgery preferred before that com
mittee. Randall, of Pennsylvania, contended
that the letter failed to show that the
gentleman from Indiana (Calkins) had
been alluded to in any relation.
The Speaker ruled that the matter
did present the question of privilege.
Calkins then stated that as long as
the charges against the committee were
confined to newspapers, he had not
noticed them, but when they were made
by a member of Congress it was a re
flection on every member of the com
mittee. Probably it was not so intend
ed by the gentleman (Hewitt) but nev
er theless it was a reflection which
ought to be refuted at once. The com
mittee on elections had never failed to
inquire into the truth of any charge
made before it.
A long and noisy discussion then
arose as to the action of the commit
tee, Atherton, of Ohio, claiming that it
had refused, to investigate charges of
forgery, and Calkins denying that state
ment Both these gentlemen were frank in
statements and proceeded iu perfect
calmness and good temper, but a great
number of members on both sides Vere
excited and their interpolations into
the debate caused such great confusion
that it was next to impossible to under
stand the points made by the principal
debaters. The House was unusually
full and nearly all the members were
on their feet many of them speaking at
once.
The confusion increased as time
passed, and at 12 o'clock the House was
in an uproar which only abated when
Calkins demanded of his friends that
in the spirit of fairness Mr. Atherton
should be allowed to take the floor.
Reagan, of Texas, objected. Then
Dibble, of South Carolina, arose to a
question of privilege, but his opening
remarks failing to present such a ques
tion, objection was made to his pro
ceeding. Hewitt, of New York, then took the
floor with another of privileges. He
disclaimed any intention of making an
unjust charge against any member of
the committe on elections, and stated
that in writing the letter which had
given rise to the debate he had based
its declarations on the minority report,
the petition of Mr. Dibble and the as
sertions of Democratic members of the
committee.
Hewitt wished to have road an affi
davit of C. 11. Smith, United States Su
pervisor of elections.
Objection was made, but the speaker
ruled that the affidavit might be read.
It simply charges interlineations, eras
ures and omissions in the testimony
taken in the contest between Mackey
and O'Connor.
Hewitt continuing submitted that
that was a sufficient basis for the very
moderate statements which he had
made in his letters. He asserted that
the whole matter should be recommit
ted and the charge of forgery investi
gated. It that were done he would be
no party to any filibustering opera
tions to keep any man from a seat, even
though he thought that he was not en
titled to it, but so long as the truth was
not admitted in the evidence he was sure
that the people would sustain the Dem
ocratic party in resisting to the last ex
tremity any efiort to strike down the
right to free representation. (Applause
on the Democratic side.)
Calkins then reviewed briefly the evi
dence in the -case and read affidavits in
explanation and denial of that filed by
C. H. Smith and his presentation of
the facts on which the majority of the
committee relied, which elicited sev
eral rounds of applause from his party
friends. In conclusion he said ; "It is
said that the Democratic party is justi
fied in its filibustering because some
testimony is questioned. If the Demo
csatic party can stand on such a footing,
we can afford to stand on the great con
stitutional right, which for 93 vears
has never before teen questioned of de
termining by a majority vote of this
House who is entitled to a seat in this
chamber.
The matter was dropped and Calkins
canea up tne contested election case.
r uiDustenng again oegan, votes on
dilatory motions and to adiourn show
ing three less than a quorum, excepting
on motions to adjourn, which was voted
down.
During roll call on a dilatory motion,
waiKer .oi Pennsylvania, who was
standing in the rear of the members
seats, fell m a fainting fit and was laid
upon one of the sofas. Walker soon re
covered, however, sufficientlv to vote.
The matter then remained in statu quo
for about an hour and a half. The ser-
geant-at-arms was not dispatched after
absent members, and those present
killed time as well as thev were able in
conversation and reading until 5 o'clock,
wnen uaiKins, of Indiana, stating that
he would call up the election case to
morrow and advising members to bring
five day's rations with them, moved to
aajourn.
The motion was agreed to, and the
House, at 5 o'clock, adjourned until to
morrow.
