A Remarkable Article From Henry Ward Beecher's Paper. AVhat the Nation has lost hy the Displacement of the Southern Element fhom Political Life?a I Lament for the Departed Dioni* ty of American Statesmanship. ' The steady transformntion of our Re public into n ring public may be as cribed, in uo small degree, to the dis placement of-un clement in the body politic which was never appreciated at its true valuo in the better days of our national virtue. It was thcu decried and almost bated by the New England, nud nearly the whole Northern, mind. The same mind now seems to think thai the suppression of that element has been ii triumph for the cause of freedom, truth and purity. Indeed, i ts entire extinction is regarded as a countnnnntion devoutly to bo wished. This sentiment lias bc como so prevalent that it may subject one to the charge of disloyalty to regret an influence which wrought so power fully in shaping the character of the re public in its first and best years has been displaced by another more popular.? ''Dowti with the aristocracy!" is the watchword of the social Democracy, both in England and America ; and the same *<?*y is passing through other countries. ! This cry does not mean down with men v> ho have made themselves richer than I the hereditary aristocracy by sweating (Hit vast fortunes from the toil and in I dustry of a single generation, but down I with historical or old families of the I country, who have retained iu their pos j i*'.'Sriio!i estates purchased centuries ngo at billing or two nn acre, and to which r/ich century added an increased value. rVwu with men who have conic to large Ij&jjiies by this slow; process of accretion^ ifPTinvve mlt^juViipe<i into growt"wenIth :by speculation iu stocks, or by trading or manufacturing enterprise like "the great majority of rich people. Now, the worst sin of a landed or he reditary aristocracy, in popular estima tion, is their esprit de corps, or that pride of order which leads them to feel it derogatory to their dignity to engage personally in trade or iu those business entcrprisesi which other men of wealth pursue. Then this feeling becomes ad ditionally obnoxious by stimulating what they call a "high sense of honor," a hind [of horror or contempt for small and mean acts and ways of life and thought, for a trafhVuigspirit and habit of mind, and for the everlusting talk about the ir repressible dollar. It is these preten sions, this carriage nnd pose of mind and life, moro than their absolute wealth, that renders an aristocracy of this order so repugnant to the popular mind, espe cially in America. For there is no country in the world where men compass sea, land and lire with more avidity for the aristocracy of abstract wealth than among us. Our railroad kings and mer chant princes, stockjobbers nnd other po tentates iu our moneyed world, constitute an aristocracy as rieh in dollars as the nobility and gentry of England, and these enjoy u public estimation nnd exert nn I influence which firo thousands with tho I ambition to attain the same position by tho same or more <|iiestionablo means. Thus nn aristocracy of sheer wealth, however acquired, short of absolute crime, is the most popuh.r order in American society. And the more this aristocracy retains and exhibits the spirit of what the French cal r0uroeoi8e, the more popular and influential it becomes, be cause it remains in Affinity, nnd on the same level of thought nnd purpose, with tho great multitude of moncy-seckcrs. Now, to a thoughtful, observant mind, nothing can bo more evident and more disquieting than the fuet that this kind of aristocratic roukokoisk I ns come to the front as a ruling power in this coun try. It is a moneyed aristocracy that think:-, plans and acts in the fullest spir it of Huuroeoisk, without nny preten sion to that high sense of honor or punc tilious esprit de corps which governs tho doportmcnt of an hereditary or landed gentry. And it is a hard thing to say or bclievo, but nn honest mind must believe it true, that this hour okoike regime only came iuto power at the suppression of that Southern aristoc racy which we so energetically denounced when it exi.nted in the full strength of its inilucucc. Scarcely anything was or could bo more distasteful Or even hateful to us than the carriage, sentiment and self arrogated position of that proud and pretentious aristocracy which adopted tho spirit and deportment of the English no* bility and gentry. But ono who looks back over tho history of the country from its birth as a nation must now see and own that tho influence of this southern aristocracy was an elemcut of immense value in shaping the character of our public men nnd political life. The exist ence of many things is only realized by their temporary absence. For nearly ten years the South as a political power has been withdrawn from tbo Union. It has been ruled, repressed nnd stifled in its old character and influence by the worst kind of carpet-bagging bouk geoisk. During this demoralizing iik gime, it has been shorn of all the locks of its power on the national government nnd public men of the country. It has not sent to Washington a single repre sentative of its old historical families, no Calhoun, nor Clay, nor Beuten, nor Ber ricn. None of its old names have an swered to the roll-call iu cither house at the eapitol. None of its old chivalry, its high sense of honor, has been represented by the newly imported men who have pretended to answer for the South. The spirit which she boasctd, and which we denounced, has ceased to act upon the political morality of tho nation. Per haps tho whole Northern mind rejoices at this emancipation. We are now show ing the world, and proving to ourselves, what we arc doing and can do without the influence of a Southern aristocracy, as wc called, it. Yes, wc have shown to the world and to ourselves what wc can do as a nation without tho influence of the Southern I mind ; without the pretentious uehn airy ' and "high seuse of honor," and contempt of small and crooked ways which the "first fumilics of Virginia" ami other Southern States boasted of. We have shown what the trade spirit, unchecked b\ the influence of such chivalry, can do when it pervades the entire nation, dom inating national and State legislation, aud touching with its golden wand the highest court of justice iu the land. We have seen how this great republic has been transmuted into a ringpublic, while the South has been reduced to a political noneutity ; what a concentric series of rings, what "wheels within a wheel," as in the prophet's vision, have been pro duced from the centre to the circumfer ence of the Union. Look at the Luccession of these rings: first, the "primary meeting" ring, or the village caucus or halt'a dozen politicians making up their "slate" around a gro cer's 2ask of unions or dried apples.? Follow the series of political rings from that primary meeting of free and inde pendent citizens up through tho Stotc conventions to the Congressional caucus nnd lobby at Washington. Then take the corporation rings, nnd follow them from the centre to the circumference of their power. Do the t-ame with land rings, gold rings, wheat rings, traffic and transportion rings, aud tariff rings.? Look nt the great railway rings, that touch with their perimeters either ocean ; at the Credits Mobilicr they organize, I the legislation they control, and the leg islators they demoralize and smirch with the pitch of dishonest transactions See what men in the highest places of trust have sohl and soiled the characters tho public have given them by busting to bo rich by treachery or fraud. See how the fine gohl of political and commercial probity have been dimmed by these trans actions, and the suspicions they engender. What the French mean by jiurgeowf, wc express by shoddy ; aud no word in our language has a more uniformly ac cepted meaning than this of recent coin age. We all know whats bodily means in toxlilo fabrics. But never did it fill such a place or play such a part in a soldier's coat as it docs in our paper money, in our paper characters on 'Change, and in tho paper moralities which the last few years havo witucssed. It may seem disloyal to our republican institutions to say it,.but wueui it is said, let the candid reader. 8ec if lie prove it; what this countiy moot need* at the present juncture is the clement that lots been displaced by the political ostracism of the South. I do not say we need a Southern aristocracy, bUt'Wi n?ed one which shall resemble and exercLic some uf its best characteristics, and'stratr** wo need imperatively, North and South) ' East aud West. Wc need a class with na fine an esimut jje corn's, with as high sense of honor and personal and fnrn\ly dignity as England over produced'or;the South claimed to possess. We wnui such men ns the Jeffcrson^^Mir^iffoew^ Lcwndcs, riuckueys, Calhouns, GIsys and Bentons, and other statcsmon whom the South has contributed to the strac ture and glory of the nation, whether . the}* conic from one sido of 'Mason & Diekson's line or the other. We want"* men who shall walk through the lobbi?S'l /? f i_j n_ii.. a _ Ot x^OTigi t^n uiiu nuu hid iiVJTVcr oi W blameless life," and of a blameless thought, though each hall and every'sfep were beset with the gift-bearing Greek of; corrupting rings seeking to place their gold ''where it should do most good.":??. "ou may call such a class an aristocracy, or by any opprobrious name, but it is a class.wo most need in every section of the Union to s'and as a bulwark nigniftst the overflow of shoddy, which threat^, ens to throw down the political probjt,y, and purity of our national life and cluir^ acter. ^ . , '_ i: .'dtemo ?gU An interesting interview* hrisfati** ly taken place between Mr. Scmraes, of the Alabama, and a Reporter of t^p( "New York .Herald," who, however, failed to extract from that gentleman, any decided expression of opinion on political affairs. On the reporter intro ducing himself and asking the favor of a few minutes' conversation, Mr. Semmcs "straightened himself up," and in a dig nified manner replied: "I am nothing but a plain citizen practicing 'In wljiAhil) a in a: Tlv.i, in 4 to say that could interest anybody politically; I have nothing to do with .the politics of our State, and I wish to have nothing to do with politics what-; ever." "Rut, Admiral," rejoined the .reporter meekly, "it is not politics so much that ' I wish to ask you about. I merely wish to ascertaiu your opinion ns to the des tiny of the country?whether it is going to remain a Republic, or will it be con verted into an empire?" Semmcs.?"That, sir, remains to bo seen. It is very uncertain what the des tiny of the country will be." Reporter.?"You have doubtless seen the discussion iu the newspapers on tho subject of Ciesarism ?" Scnnnea.?"Yes, sir, I have." Reporter.?"Do you think General Grant will be elected to a third term V* Semiucs.?I have no^doubt that, if General Grunt wishes it, he can bo qlec ted to a third term, contrary as it is to the prcced n'.s'of the country." Reporter.?"In that event, do you be lieve it would be a march to Ein Semmcs.?"That I am unable to sa)v. It is ns I said before, uncertain, and lies hidden iu the womb of the future, and only t<5 be decided by events. As the Admiral said this, he turned rather abruptly, ended the conversation, and walked oil* with his hands behind his luck, his umbrella dangling from them, and the "patch of bald at the crown of his bend plainly visible, under the leaf of his elevated chapkau. A Scandalous Scene in Count.? Ex-Sheriff Mackcy and County Solicitor Buttz. had a sharp passage of words yes terday in the Criminal Court. The cx sheritf told the Solicitor very bluntly while arguing a case that he ought to he. in the penitentiary, where he had been sentenced to go, but whence ho had man aged to escape. The solicitor retorted by telling tho ex-sheriff that ho would slap his face were he not in the court room ; whereupon the cx-Stioriff invited him to step out of tho door and executo his threats. These thrusts Created, a stir, and for awhile it was thought that a ditti cultywniight ensue, hut up to last night tho public peace had not been broken with either digits or derringer. It was rumored, however, that there had been a hiief collision tit the corner of Market and Meeting streets?"News & Courier."
