The Constitutionalist and “the
Irish Girls."
Several day* ago we published an ex
tract from a letter of the New York
Correspondent of the Constitutionalist,
“Willoughby," in which the term ‘•‘dirty,
thieving Irish girls” was used, a term
which very justly gave offense to those
citizens who came from the Emerald
Is’e. After the lapse of the several
days referred to, an article appeared
in yesterday’s issue of that journal
explaining that the fault. was with
the proof reader, who overlooked the
insulting paragraph referred to; snd
then praising the gallantry of the Irish
soldiers in the late war. Well, we are
glad to see that our neighbor has seen,
the error of its ways and apologized
for the insult; but we fear that it is too
late now to do any good. And so ‘‘git
out wtd your blarney,” neighbor. Its
of no use to you.
That SI,OOO Bonus.
‘ LEnxGTON, Ga., Feb. 4, 1867.
Editor Daala" Press: The two pon
derous $lO a year dailies in your City,
evidently tried to play the bluff game
with your youthful, vigorous $6 per
annum journal, when they asked for
the SI,OOO bonus, and insisted on its
payment before you could receive the
telegraphic news. Your ‘‘seeing them”
was a great disappointment, and they
will find before long that they have lost
far more than they have gained by the
SSOO, of .which each of them deprived
you. pretty much after the manner that
Sherman's bummers deprived the South
Carolina ladies of their ear rings and
brooches, as illustrated by the pencil of
Major Nichols, in his ‘"Story of the
Great March.”
We country people may be so unac
quainted with the gentle arts which
prevail in the great cities, that we are
unable to see why you should be com
pelled to pay the two newspaper pub
lishers SI,OOO, or 1,000 cents, or any
other sum, for the right to purchase
telegraphic news, and print it for the
benefit of your readers. We cannot see
the consideration you are to receive, or
have received, and are firmly convinced,
at this moment, that because yon pre"
sumed to publish a better paper for $5
a year than they issue for doable that
um, and because you have double
he number of subscribers and twice
the advertising patronage which they
ave, you have been made to pay a
penuky lor your popularity and pros
perity, just as you might be made to
pay a penalty for a full pocket-book by
an adventurous frepdman, who might
find you alone and unaided on your way
to the Sand Hills, oti some dark night,
and might think that you had no right
to be sick while he wanted a dinner.
Bjt you may depend on it, that you
will benefit largely by the transaction.
The attempt to crush you has added
considerably to the popularity of the
Daily Fuess, and has caused no little
disgust at those who resorted to such
means to injure a fair and honorable
rival, who asked no favors, but a clear
stage for his enterprise, industry, and
ability.
Your paper is growing, and will still
grow, because it is edited for the people,
supplies the popular want, contains
practical common sense suggestions,
gives all the news, has nothing to do
with cliques, or individual interests.
It speaks the truth, maintains justice,
and gives sound advice to onr poor
people, and richly deserves the large
patronage it receives, and the still
larger patronage it oinst receive if you
continue on the same line.
I do not wonder tbat your lum
bering old contemporaries should feel
jeblous of your rapid growth, and should
be mortified to see themselves outstripped
on the track over which they fancied
themselves going so gracefully and nim
bly. -Cut jealousy and modification,
however uatural under the circumstan
ces, should never go the length of imi
tating Ur. B. F. Butler or Sherinau’s
bummers. Tbe demand of the bonus was
a paltry ililliberality, of which I hoped no
Southern editor could be capable, and
of which in the good old days when
Colonel James Gardner filled tbe chair
so Southern newspaper pro
prietor would have beeu guilty.
While the many friends of the Daily
Press are indignant at the injustice
which has been done to you, they do
not regret it on your account, because
they know that you have triumphed,
and that you merit the success which
crowns honest, intelligent industry.
OOLKTUoItI'K.
Some admirers or Histori in Cincin
nati recently got so frantic that they
prAented her with six great fat hogs.
This was ft queer way of expressing
tbeir sossidgcfactiou of her acting.
AS APPEAL TO TEX PUBLKS
The officers of the Young Men’s Li
brary Assoeiation in entering upon the
dischaifeof thf irdu£ies, in tjiis, the twen
tieth year gs Ml hislorj.ie*! it due alike
to the public end tbemtelm to Hate,
briefly, the circumstances which justify
them iu making this Appeal to the com
munity for assistance and support. The
Toting Men’s Library Association was
established In 1848, its objects being, in
the language of its Constitution, “to
promote moral and intellectual rmprore
ment, aad to encourage the culture of
Literature, Science, and the Arts in the
City of Augusts.” la 1863 a Trust
Fund was created by contributions from
citizens to the amount of nearly thirteen
thDuktnd dollars, aad which was in
creased, by bequest and donation, during
the late war, to twenty three thousand
dollars. During the wsr this sum was
reduced more than three fourths, and
the accumulating interest on the small
amount remaining, some seven hundred
dollars, afforded the only capital with
which to reconstruct the institution. An
Appeal was then made lor public sym
pathy and support by circulars, but,
with one exception, proved unavailing.
Notwithstanding this condition of tilings,
our predecessors, with commendable
energy, renewed the periodical and
newspapor list, supplied, to a great ex
tent, the current literature issued during
the war, and added three hundred vol
umes to the Library. The Society now
finds itself in the possession •of some
three thousand volumes, and its desks
and tables are supplied with the ablest
newspapers and periodicals of the coun
try. The amount in the treasury, how
ever, is but little in excess of one hun
dred dollars, and the question we now
submit to the public is, will they permit
the only institution of the kind in Au
gusta to fail? Or, will they come for
ward and generously aid us in establish
ing a Library which may become an or
nament to our City in this generation,
and which may prove the means of in
stilling into the minds of those who
come after us a spirit of "devotion to
Literature, Science, and Art, calculated
to advance its prosperity and welfare
hereafter ?
The population of Augusta, at pres
ent, is not sufficient to justify the forma
tion of institutions of this character as
representatives of special class pursuits.
It is only by a combination of all inter
ests, mechanical, manufacturing, com
mercial, professional, and industrial,
that we can hope to succeed in building
up a Library, to which the citizens of
Augusta can point with pride. In this
union of all classes will be found the
strength of success. The suggestions
of all contributors as to changes in
management will be listened to with
pleasure. Entering upon the discharge
of our duties iu a broad and catholic
spirit, we shall endeavor, while regard
ing the prejudices of none, to pay due
respect to the opinions of all.
As soon as a sufficient sum can be
raised to justify additional expenditures,
we propose to open the rooms at night,
enlarge our newspaper and periodical
list, add to the volumes now upon oar
shelves, and, under the auspices of the
Society, furnish a series of Lectures
from gentlemen of eminent distinction.
The terms of subscription will he as
heretofore. For annual subscribers, five
dollars, with the privilege of introducing
employees, or members of subscriber’s
family, at one dollar each; or friends
from a distance, visiting the City, to th®
privileges of the Reading Room free of
charge. For monthly subscribers, fifty
cents each. For life members, fifty dol
lars each. These sums are fixed at as
low a rate as the financial condition of
the Society will permit. They are the
same as they were before the war, and,
in saying that, we think we need say no
more.
Onr Librarian will be found constantly
at the Rooms of the Society, to receive
contributions, and we will seek the same
through Committees.
We appeal to all, whatever be their
pursuit or occupation in life, who re
gard reading, either in themselves or
their children, as likely to prove a de
light in youth or a recreation in old age,
to join us in this effort to build up a
Library in Augusta. Without your aid we
will fail. With generous assistance, thus
becoming co-workers with ourselves, we
cannot but succeed.

Young Men’s Library Association,
Alexander H. Stephens. —Col. John
Lewis Peyton has just published, in
England, a work on “The American
Crisis.” We select the following pas
sage from the quotations given in a
review of it by the Cosmopolitan:
“ I passed out of (he office of the
Secretary of the Navy, expressing a
hope that he blight enjoy his repast
and digest it satisfactorily, whicli 1
doubted, from the character of the
proviaions then in the Richmond
market, I "encountered in the hall, a
lean, yellow, care worn man, his back
bent forward almost into a hump, his
chest bowed inward, one shoulder higher
thau tbe other, small wasted legs, hands
and fingers long and bony, dress loose
and wrinkled, and shabby, gray-looking,
damp and mouldy. His face was bony
and emaciated, withered and twitching;
his scanty hair fell ou his shoulders in
disorder. His chin wus smooth and
beardless, his breath short, while his
restless eyes blazed with excitement.
His voice, us he addressed such ac
quaintauees as he met, was sharp, shrill,
and squeaking, and his whole appear
ance laded, anxious, disappointed, ex
traordinary—so much so that he passed
no one who did not turn and take a
second gaze. I thought 1 had never
seen so singular an object, and inquired
ol my nenrest neighbor what appurilion
it was. Imagine my surprise when I
was informed that it was Mr. Alexander
11. Stephens, the eloquent Georgian
orator, the conservative statesman, and
energetic Vice President of the .Confed
erate States.”
