The PAII.T PRESS Is alao the
Official Paper of the t’ity of
Aufa«ta, hatlnff been elected
the City Council as their Official
Organ,
Perverted Philanthropy.
The ill-educated or perverted philan
thropy which has disrupted the patri
archial institution of the South and
consigned-a simple race to certain anni
hilation on this continent, have a simi
lar pursuit in the large towns of the
North. It is, to unsex the young
women, on the pretext of finding em
ployment lor them. For this purpose
the employmeuts usually reserved to
men are invaded on every possible oc
casion, until there is searely a branch
of mechanics, within their strength, in
which women are not now employed.
This, too,when men with families are idle,
and reduced to dire straits ; and when
women cannot be induced to engage in
household labors to the relic* of over
burdened wives. No household servants
can be employed in this city, except the
dirty, thieving Irish girls, who look
upon their employers as their helpless
victims. In the perverted taste that
prevails, the most intelligent unmarried
women seek employment iu shops, and
latterly it has been found necessary Jo
employ meu as cooks and waiters in
private families. Women do not suc
ceed as clerks except where customers
are entirely men, for women will avoid
a “store” where the clerks are women.
The young women who have worked
in shops become, iu a lew years, com
pletely uusexed. Bold ami “slangy,”
entirely ignorant ol household duties— ;
knowing less of details than most lads
brought up at home—men might as well
marry each other for “help-mates.”
Used" to the “shop,” when they marry,
the restraints of home soon become
irksome, and the most scandalous prac
tices follow. They learn to procure
abortions, and in a short time become
mere wrecks, physically and morally.
More unlovelv beings than the “shop
girls of New York” it is impossible to
conceive; and the amount of discomfort
and unhappiness which follows directly
from the agitation for “employment for
women” would be difficult to estimate.
In the good old times, when the
daughters of the common people were
not considered too good to learn to do
what their mothers had learned, and
what they would find it most important
to know on'marrying, housekeeping was
not discomfort embodied as now. Verily,
the times are out of joint.
W ILLOCGHBY.
The foregoing is from the New York
correspondent of one of our City papers,
and contains an uncalled for and unde
served attack upon the girls of Irish
birth who are so unfortunate as to have
to work. We do not know who
“Willoughby” is, nor do we much care ;
but we can not staud idly by, and see
any class of while women ruthlessly and
wantonly assailed, without entering our
protest against it, and denouncing the
libel. There is, in the letter from which
we haye quoted, no exception. The
unfortunate girls and young women who
have to labor in menial services, are
called “dirty thieving Irish girls,” “who
look upon their employers as helpless
victims.” Is there no honest, virtuous
Irish girl? Are there no “dirty, thiev
ing” American, French, *or German
girls ?
Surely, such an attack is as unjust as
it is ungenerous. There may be “dirty
thieving frish girls”—but there are
meau people of all nationalities : and
there can be no greater slander or libel
than to attribute laults to any people
because of their nationality. And as
for the Irish girls, we can say, fearless
of successful contradiction, that there is
no class of people more honest, more
virtuous, or more trustworthy than they
are. The “dirty, thieving” ones are the
exceptions —exceptions which can be
found among all nations and all com
munities- ■To the credit of the “Irish
girls” be it said, in their class, they are
but rate exceptions.
The libel should be promptly repudi
ated, and its author should as promptly
retract it. This much is due to an in
jured class of women, and should be
promptly given.
Thb Reason or it. —The popular
vote in the election of 1864 was as
follows: Lincoln, 2,223,035 ; McClel
lan, 1,811,754. If we added to the
popular vote lor McClellan, the whole
voting population of the South, esti
mating it by the vote in 1860, of ten
Southern States, we shall have the
exact strength of the opposition to the
Radical party. The vote of these
States in 1860, was 750,035, which,
added to the popular vote for McClellan,
gives an aggregate ants-Radical strength
in the United States of 2,570,889. and
an anti-liadieal majority of 347,854.
South Carolina, whose Presidential elec
tors were chosen by her Legislature, is
omitted in this estimate. These facts
uud figures explain the patriotic solici
tude of the K'tdical party to keep the
Southern States out of the Union.
Long ago in MassocbustrUs, it was
the custom for a person to go about the
meeting houses during divine service
and wake the sleepers. “He bore a long
wand, on one end of which was a ba 1,
ant) on the other a fox tail. When he
observed the men asleep, lie rapped
them on the head with a knob, and
roused the slumbering sensibilities of
the ladies by drawing the brush lightly
across their faces-
Our Position, Oar Danger, and
Oar Duty.
HUMUS* VI.
Editor of the Jfaihf Prtu: Ths
disposition to tmk* for granted that we
have no means of esespe from the
calamities which Mem to threaten us.
and that nothing wa can do can poasi
bly mitigate the ills by which we are
surrounded, is a moat pernicious error,
because its indulgence is the moat cer
tain way to precipitate those calamities
and aggravate those ills. To create for
our-e res an ideal standard of political,
social, and material prosperity, entirely
irrespective of the circumstances of our
situation, and fold our hands in despair
or sullen ness, because we find that
standard unattainable, is unworthy of
the good sense, courage, and fortitude
for which the Southern people are dis
tinguished. We set our lives upon a
esst, and are bound to “bear the hazard
of the die.” We have lost our wealth—
the accumulated capital of three quar
ters of a century, and however we may
regret it, however unjustly or wrong
full; we may think we have been de
prived of it, it is gone, and we canno 1
possibly get back any part of it but by
our owu exertions—by hard work, clieer
lully and hopefully undertaken. Our
whole domestic system has been over
turned. We can no longer command
our labor? We must engage it by the
day, month, or year, aud take the
chances whether it is good, bad, or in
different. We may deplore the change,
and be as convinced as we are of our
existence, that the former system of
domestic slavery was economically, so
cially, morally, and religiously the best
for the whites, as well as for the blacks.
But it, too, has gone, and can never be
re-established. We must make the best
of the present system, and, by justice
and kindness, firmness and generosity,
endeavor to make the negro as indus
trious, moral, and nseful as possible.
Whatever we may think of our politi
cal rights under the Constitution and
laws of the United States, practically
those rights are in abeyance, and the
most sanguine cannot see the least pros
pect of their being restored to us until
the ruling majority at the North aban
don their present opinions, and, yielding
to a sense of justice, the force of con
stitutional argument, or a more enlight
ened and comprehensive view of the
good of the Republic, acknowledge our
claim to perfect political equality and
the right to regulate our domestic af
fairs, subject only to the supreme law.
It is worse than idle to expect that
either the present or the next Congress
will change what the majority call their
policy of reconstruction. They think
that if we were free to exercise our
right to a share in the Government our
strength added to the opposition at the
North would deprive them of power,
patronage, aud emolument; therefore,
their direct interest, apart from the vin
diclive hatred and angry malevolence
which control many of them, prompts
them to keep us out of the Union, po
litically, at least, until they Recure a
renewed four years’ lease of power by
electing a President who belongs to
their party, and is bound to obey their
behests. Legally, wp have an indefeasi.
ble right to perfect equality in the Gov
ernment, but practically, we are at the
mercy of the ruling majority. Legally,
that majority has no more right to dic
tate what we shall do or leave undone,
as long as we obey the Constitution and
all constitutional laws, than they have
to dictate how many wives the Sultan ot
Turkey shall marry, or to forbid patri
otic Japauese from disembowelling
themselves, in order to gratify the
Tycoon. But, practically, and with all
the active effect of indisputable legality,
they exercise the right to govern ns as
they please, whether we will or not,
subject to no limitation or restraint but
what they think the Constitution ordains,
or ought to ordain.
The only issue from this political bon
dage is through an altered public senti
ment at the North. To bring about this
change by calm reasoning, sound argu
merit, dispassionate representation of
facts, moderation of language and
action, and a readiness to advance half
way in the path of conciliation, is as
evidently the duty of every one of us as
it is our duty to go to work to provid e
for our wants and recruit our fortunes,
or to do the best we can with the labor
system which has been forced upon us,
and the inferior race which has been
suddenly let loose amongst us. “Help
yourself and God will help you,” is true
of nations as of individuals.
As I said in my first letter, let our
people ask the North for a definite and
authoritative expression of the terms
upon which alone it will consent to
peace with us. Let us show a disposi
tion to treat and “argufy” with good
feeling and good sense, show the North
ern people how cruelly they misappre
hend our acts and misjudge our feel
ings, and prove to them how much bet
ter and wiset' it is for both parties, with
out sacrifice of honor, self-respect, or
manly independence, to shake hands
and be friends, have faith in one an
other, and, both united, make a fresh
start on the way of national greatness,
power, and progress.
The Philadelphia Press and the New
York Independent , and other radical
papers, under the inspiration of Forney,
Stevens, and Wendell Phillips, are now
the only sources from which the Northern
people derive their information iu regard
to us. Let us he our own interpretors.
Let us speak for ourselves. Let us
expose the falsehood and malice of these
worthies and their followers, anil tell
our owu tale in our own way. Many
Northern men honestly believe at this
moment that a conspiracy to overthrow
the Union and reestablish the Confede
rate States, murder and persecution of
Union meu and Northern citizens, aud
torture and assassination of freed men
are oar constant occupation aud pastime.
It is told them by the thousand issues
of radical papers, every day in the
week, and they never hear any contra
diction of it, Wq can lighten this dark
ness and make the truth to shine. But
if we keep our seats, and refuse to move
or speak, in the conviction that we will
be drowned and nobody shall save ue,
the darkness will grow so dense that it
will become impervious to truth.
Xylon.
Toleration.
In theory, individual liberty, so far as
it may be consistent with the well being
of society, is the fundamental principle
of our Government. We boost that we
alone, of all the nations of the earth,
allow freedom of opinion on all subjects,
freedom of speech, and freedom of the
press. In theory, our laws maintain
and defend otir citizens in the unre
served expression of any sentiments in
speech or in print, so that they keep
within the law of slander and libel; and
the very nature of our institutions ne
cessitates the most thorough discussion
of political measures, and of the quali
fications of political aspirants. We
hold up this, our theory of freedom, to
the world, snd bid its nations follow onr
example. “Columbia, land of free,” is
n theme for songs now somewhat out of
fashion, and the subject of Fourth-of-
July orations also become unfashionable.
It is very common to hear the expres
sion, “this is a free country,” and per
haps the vaunt may once have been
true, but not in our day.
We may confidently affirm that no
civilized people are leas free, in the very
points on which we boast, than we are-
We are slaves to each other’s opinions.
The vox povuli rules this land with a
sway more autocratic than that with
which the Czar rules Russia ; and, from
the highest stations to the lowest—from
the President to the Constable—all quail
before it. Other forms of government
appear to be, nay, really are, more
stable than ours, because there are po
sitions in which the men holding them,
responsible' only to one superior, have
no need to compromise wliat is right for
what is popular ; have nothing to ask
from that popular lavor, too olten
gained without merit, and lost without a
crime; nothing to fear from popular
condemnation. So long as a man in
such a place does his duty, his position
is assured. He may hold it at the will
of a despot, but no despotism cau be
more capricious than that of the multi,
tude. Men in such positions are always
and necessarily conservative, and form
one of the great elements of stability so
much needed among us. They are bal
ance wheels to prevent sudden aud de
structive changes in the progress of the
governmental machine. Having nothing
to gain by the proscription of those who
differ from them in opinion, they are
tolerant; having nothing to fear from
persecution, they will not persecute.
It is not so with us. There is no
place among us from which the occu
pant does not expect to climb to some
thing higher in the gift of the people, or
which he does not hold by the will of
his party, whose favor can be most easily
acquired by virulence towards oppon
ents. But persecution for opinion’s
sake, though it may temporarily sub
serve the interests of party, is a bane to
tbe welfare of the country, and some
times warms into life and mighty force
ideas that would otherwise perish. It is
au old maxim that the "blood of tbe
martyrs was the seed of the Church
and there has been no lack of martyrs
in politics as well as in religion—in
erroneous as well as in good causes.
Persecution may deter the timid from
following the courses their inclination or
conviction dictates, but it only strength
ens the bold and resolute in their opin
ions and designs, whether they be right
or wrong, and forces them inlo extremes.
It is generally thought that the men too
ultra for the majority are not to be
feared, because they appear to have few
followers, but at one time or other the
world comes up to them. They are but
the advance guides, and sooner or later
the great, never-halting army of man
kind advances aud ailigns itself with
them. Thus, to adduce none of the
many examples in religious and political
contests, in other times and other coun
tries, in our own day the Abolitionists
were at first but a weak and insignifi
cant handful of fanatics, odious North
as well as South, but they proved to be
only a little in advance of their time;
and we who saw them once mobbed and
persecuted, even in Northern cities,
have lived to see the whole North come
up to their stand-point; have seen South
eru men pardoned and amnestied on
condition that they shall swear to main
tain their success in the abolition of
slavery ; and have seen the Abolition
societies dissolved because their object
was attained, and there remained no
more work for them to do. We can see,
now it is too late, how persecution mag
nified their importance and subserved
their ends.
So in the case of secession. Teif
years before the war broke out, Howell
Cobb, by a majority of 18,000, was
elected Governor of Georgia upon the
rallying cry of “Save the Union.”
although his opponents indignantly de
nied any designs against the Union, and
professed that they desired only to seek
their rights in the Union. A great"
party mustered uudera banner inscribed
“The preservation ot the Union is the
paramount good.” No candidate could
bo elected to any office who was eveu
suspected of infidelity to the Union. A
few men here und there —more, perhaps,
outside of Georgia than within it—be
lieved thut the Union was uu evil, op
pressive to the South and dangeioue to
her institutions. They were scarcely
tolerated in private, never in public
positions, if they preached tbeir belie
openly; yet, within a few years, we saw
almost the whole population of the
South suddenly rushing np to the side
of these men, repudiating old aud long
cherished opinions, adopting in their
stead those formerly so unpopular, and
asking in their vindication, with the
Gery zeal of aew converts, a bloody and
ruinous war. The Union men who had
persecuted became the proscribed—
with the measure they meted was retal
iation meted out to them, heaped up,
pressed down, and running over.
Whether the people were right in
1830, or right in 1860, has nothing io
do with our present purpose. We intro
duce the fact that a great change took
place in the interval, without any appa
rently adequate cause, as an illustration
of the influence of extreme men and
extreme opiuions, and of that trust in
the human mind which causes it, like a
moving pendulum, to react past the
middle point to the extreme; therefore,
it is not safe or politic to denounce those
who are too slow or too inert to follow
the swing of the popular miiul in its
mighty vibrations. The time is sure to
come when the popular pendulum,
stopping for a moment at one extreme,
will rush with accelerated velocity to the
other; and the ultra man of one day
may be up with, perhaps a little behind,
the political advance of the next. In
tolerance makes martyrs, and martyrs
are the seed of political parties as well
as of the Clinrch. Error dies when it
ceases to be nourished by the sacrifice
of its disciples, and when persecution
cease to arouse, in sympathy with its
victims, that chivalrous sentiment in
almost every man’s heart which prompts
him to side with the defenceless and
proscribed.
The policy, therefore, is suicidal
which prompts editors and the public to
denounce ami vituperate all \vho speak,
vote, or act at variance with their opin
ions, or those of the majority. A
measure, a political course, an expressed
opinion, or a vote which this year may
seem to be utterly obnoxious, may next
year appear to be of the highest wisdom
and prudence. We should at least re
frain from persecuting its advocate, if
we believe him in error, lest we make
the error dangerous by making him
more obstinate in it. We have lately
had an instance in point. Tne whole
Southern press, with one or two insig
nificant exceptions, have denounced the
“Constitutional Amendment,” as it is
called, as infamous, without deigning to
point out wherein its infamy consisted ;
and you, Mr. Editor, of the Augusta
Daii.y Press, have affirmed that it was
very properly rejected by the Legislature.
The propriety or impropriety of that
rejection is not in ques'ion at present)
though a hint may be allowed that if
your journal and others had permitted
us to know what the “Constitutional
Amendment” was, we should have been
better qualified to judge of the pro
priety ol its rejection. The point at
issue at present is, are you
brother journalists wise aud politic in
“damning to everlasting fame” the two
members of the Legislature who voted
in favor of the Amendment. Personally
I know nothing of the two gentlemen,
but their position is prima facie evi
deuce that they are honorable and
upright men. AVhy, then, can we not
give them credit for honesty and sin
cerity in casting their votes ? It is true
they were from the mountains, whose
people are, for some unaccountable
reason, supposed to he inferior in intel
ligence to the inhabitants of the “Black
Belt,” which has heretofore claimed
most of the “smartness” extant in the
State; but when those mountaineers
come to claim the weight due to their
numbers in this Government of uum
bers, the impolicy of having driven
their meu ofinfluence into extremes, by
ill-judged criticism, may be made mani
fest.
It is to be hoped that, for the interest
and character of the South, the days of
mob law and vigilance committees, and
all the other iniquitous machinery o*
popular despotism, are passed for ever.
Let us also hope that the time isathand
when persecution for opinion’s sake, in
any shape, may he unheard of, and
when ali questions may be discussed
with no other res'raint than that argu
ment shall not degenerate into vitupera
tion and personalties. Quintus.
Masquerade Parties.
This is a queer subject for an edi
torial, but in these strange times scarce
ly anything is surprising.
Ab Josh Billings says, “In the good
old daize ,” this species of innocent
amusement was greatly in vogue among
the elite of the land, hut being liable to
abuse, it gradually became more general
until it degeuerated under the patron
age of those whose depraved tastes
found a cloak under the “Mask and
Domino.” We are pleased, however,
to note that time has appeased the
latter class, and that the descendants of
those whose purity of thought and pur
pose projected the “Bal Masque,” have
resuscitated this time-honored custom,
and that, divested of its objectionable
features, the Masquerade has again be
come the happy and pleasant pastime
of the better class of society.
It is an old custom, and practiced to
this day among the people of Rome,
who give themselves up to merriment
and fun during what is termed the
“Carnival' k week, preceding the sacred
season of Lent.
In New Orleans, the Roman enstom
is followed, and “Shrove Tuesday” is
devoted by almost its entire population
to the festivities of “Mardi Gras.”
Mobile, New York, and other cities,
are unusually brilliant at this season
with private masked parties, aud wu are
glad to learu that, in our own City, this
unobjectionable amusement will soon
he inaugurated/
With tbs proper supervision, these
parties can he made a sourco of great
pleasure and amusement to its partici
pants, and will successfully tend to
renew the social relationship so un
happily disturbed by the late war.
