THE CONSTITUTION.
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, JUNE 14.
BT Congress did not believe assertions
of the busy faction that subsidized For
ney’s Chronicle.
HT 1 The revival of the material interests
of Georgia will proceed with rapidity as
soon as the political status of the State is
so determined as to give her people an
equitable voice in legislation.
taF" Notwithstanding the extravagant
expenditures of the State government,
there are among us some bold capitalists
who shrink not from making investments
and embarking in enterprises, on account
of which they receive the spontaneous
plaudits of the people.
BP The “ prolongatlonists ” of Georgia
have defeated the inauguration of public
schools in the City of Atlanta. The Hoard
of Education only awaits an amendment
to the City Charter that they may vigor
ously push forward the work assigned
them.
ts- The special pleading of the “ pro-
longationists” has rendered the General
Assembly inert. The children of this city
are debarred the privileges of free schools
while political gamblers shuffle their cards
and stock them upon an unsuspecting peo
ple.
tar Under military rule, (the peaceful
disposition of the people denied.) in order
that political mountebanks may aggran
dize themselves, (capital ever sensitive,) is
wary of investment in our State. Hcncc,
thousands already in the State, and thou
sands desiring to immigrate thither, are
deterred from enterprises that would not
only prollt themselves, but greatly benefit
the people at large.
___ -j~««-
tar It is untrue, as often asserted for po
litical effect, that our pcoplo object to
Northern immigrants. Their contempt for
political mountebanks is acknowledged
Tliore birds of passage, who flocked to the
Southern States soon after the war, to prey
upon the wrecked fortunesof the Southern
people, arc universally despised, and ought
to be by all good citizens. This is not be
cause they are Republicans. It is because
they are not representative men of their
party North.
HTPolitical mountebanks in the South,
in the name of the Republican party, have
committed many actsjof tyranny, and con
tinue persistently to slander a defeated
people. Tliis, too, after that people, in
good faith, laid down their arms and took
the oath of allegiance to the Federal Gov
ernment. They have studiously and zeal
ously misrepresented the disposition of the
people. Thus they have instigated Their
party friends to unnecessary expenditure
of time and money in the reconstruction
of the lately rebellious States. They have
betrayed their party in Congress into acts
of legislation which will not be sanctioned
by their constituents in the North when
they calmly receive the history of civil
and military affairs in the South during
the last flvo years.
Of Ur. Dickens, The Cossimmox of
Sunday last contained a brief notice, very
feebly expressive of the popular regret for
his demise.
Now, we record the death of W. Gilmore
Simms, whose fame extends wherever the
English language is spoken- Born, edu
cated, and for almost all bis life a resident
of our sister State of South Carolina, he
was almost our familiar neighbor. He was
of Irish descent and born in Charleston,
South Carolina, April 17,1806. At the time
of bis death, on day before yesterday, he
was more than sixty-four years old. He
began to write verses at the age of seven,
and during the war of 1812, his chief em
ployment was to compose rhymed narra-
tivesof thecxploits of our navy. Forsevcral
years he was employed in a drug and chem
ical store, which be quitted to study law at
the age of eighteen. He married at twen
ty, and at twenty-two was admitted to the
bar. Be practiced his profession only one
year, when he embarked in journalism as
editor and part proprietor of the “Charles
ton Gazette.”
Having, in 1832. taken part in favor of
the Union, and against the nullifiers, the
“Gazette” lost Its patronage and Mr.
Simms became almost penniless. Having
lost his grand-mother, father and'wife, he
left Charleston for the North, and at ning-
liam, Mass., composed bis longest and best
poem, entitled “ Atlantis,” a story of the
sea.
He afterwards returned to the South, and
for many years resided on bis plantation,
near Midway, S. C. As an author he was
industrious and methodical. His genius
was versatile, and equally brilliant, wheth
er illuminating a daily journal, contrib
uting to the pages of staid and dignified
magazines, collating history, inventing
flctitlous narratives, or thrilling the hearts
and stirring the souls of his readers by
poetic imagery. Numerous biographical
sketches of the statesmen, soldiers and au
thors of his native State were written by
him.
Few men lived in his day and generation
whose pen was more busily employed
Few who wrote as much, wrote less that
was common-place; and few so universally
delighted his readers.
As an evidenceof his general popularity
in this city, we state* as a fact derived from
the Librarian of the Young Men’s Library
Association, that the works of Mr. Gilmore
Simms are more sought after by the pa
trons of that institution, both male and fe
male, than those of any other author, save
alone Charles Dickens.
Among the great merits of Mr. Simms
as an author, may justly be mentioned the
parity of his diction and the soundness of
the morals he inculcated, peculiarities
which have been too orten wanting in the
clTusions of many popular writers of the
present day.
The people of the South justly boast of
liis national and world-wide fame as an
author. His being Southern born is only
an incident, or accidcut, in his history
which mayhap contributed little to the
winning of his justly deserved fame. It
has, however, enshrined him in the afflic
tions of the Southern people. In their
hearts they mourn him dead, for during life
the loved and admired him as a noble,
chivalrous and high-toned gentleman.
tF Our State is still out of the Union, in
spite of a sincere effort of the Republican
members of Congress to promote its re
construction. Congress passed the net of
December, 1809, entitled an “ Act to pro
mote the Reconstruction of Georgia,” and
were imposed upon by a conspiracy secret
ly entered into to take a technical advan
tage thereof, to prolong the term of office of
the Governor and Legislature.
Bingham, and a majority of the House of
Representatives, proposed to clieck-mate
this movement.
Immediately upon the passage of his
amendment, a howl was raised against the
people of Georgia. It was asserted that the
lives of loyal men were in danger—that if
an election wero held this fall another rc-
ibcilion might occur.
Neither the Breckinridge, nor the
Douglas platform in 18G0, announced the
doctrine of the right of a State peaceably
to secede from the Union. Andrew Jack
son, Abraham Lincoln and Andrew John
son, and all their predecessors, except John
Adams, the old Alien and Sedition Law
Advocate, urged that the States have “ re
served rights” under the Constitution of
the Union.
They contended that the ballot-box, and
not the cartridge-box, is the best means of
securing those rights and enforcing them
The Centralists of the present day pre
tend to trace their pedigree back to Jack-
son, Lincoln and Johnson. The people
know that they are bastard Republicans—
illegitimates begotten during the demoral
ization consequent upon the late civil war.
Death of William Gilmore Simms-
A telegraphic dispatch announces the
death of William Gilmore Simms. In the
Republic of Letters, neither nationality nor
section is known. In thcTcmple of Fame
none arc entitled to an indelible inscrip
tion in that apartment devoted to the
memory of successful devotees of belle
tettres or the humanities, save those who
by merit have won a claim thereto.
Among politicians, statesmen and mili
tary heroes, there aro many famous names
that owe their historic lustre and prestige
to accidental causes. Not so with men of
letters. The scientific savan,or the author,
must rely upon his Individual industry
nnd genius to work his way to fame. Ho
has, perhaps, less of the sympathy of the
masses of mankind, because of this very
isolation.
The “thoughts that breathe and the
words that burn,” and find utterance at the
point of the pen, wielded by an author,
(though they may elevate the soul nnd stir
the heart’s emotion,) rarely excite that
warm personal affection for the author
which the charge at the Bridge of Lodi
nroused in the breasts of the followers of
the Little Corporal, or the stormy passage
of tlio Delewaro infused into the half-naked
and bare-footed veterans who obeyed the
call of the Father of his Country.
Each and every man flatters himself that,
bad circumstances luckily combined, he,
too, at some period of bis career, might
have been a Napoleon or a Washington
Thus, in the contemplation of the exploits
of heroes, the vanity of men is pleased and
flattered.
Not so in the contemplation of the lives
of poets, or the clnssiquc writers of an
cient or modern times. For, while their
works may delight and edify and elevate
us by reading and studying them, we are
loth to grant to them that meed of affec
tion and praise to which, as benefactors of
their race, they are entitled.
Their exploits and their works owe not
their merit, brilliancy or perennial vigor
to circumstances, accidents or causes ex
traneous to the minds of their authors.
They live and are present every where and
at all times. But, while they delight the
mass of men, they do do not flatter their
•elf-esteem. Few who read the immortal
works of Sbakspearc, of Homer, of Kotz
ebue. of Voltaire, of Milton, of Prescott,
or Macaulay, and others whose very names
ore classic, flatter themselves that they too
could have done likewise under the same
circumstances and in like situations.
There are, therefore, some things unsym
pathetic in the isolated and retired and sol
itary life of an author. It is only occa
sionally that thcjpopular heart throbs in
sorrow at the announcement of the death
ol a great literary man.
When such men as Charles Dickens, who
touched the popular heart by striking
hopefully and good humorcdly the chords
that thrill in sympathy with suffering and
struggling humanity, and W. Gilmore
Simms whose genius was ever, whether
courting the poetic or historic muses, or
cultivating the nobler emotions of the soul
by depicting human nature in fictitious
narratives, “shake off the mortal coil,” the
popular impulse, contemning the selfish
ness of man’s nature, lays aside the digni
fied reserve that usually represses utter
ances of sorrow for the death of votaries
muses*

General Bragg’s Services May l»e
Secured as Consulting Engineer.
Since the action of the City Council, look
ing to an investigation of the practicabili
ty of erecting watcr-work3 to supply the
city with water, we have learned that there
is a company of enterprising citizens al
ready organized under a charter from the
State, who have been making some prelim
inary. investigations. We have been per
mitted to peruse a letter from General Brax
ton Bragg, who has had large experience
as a hydraulic and civil engineer. From
the data furnished him by the company, he
thinks the plan proposed by them is feasi
ble. Of course he reserves his final judg
ment until be can actually survey the
ground. While we regret to know that
the General is out of employment, having
been superseded os Superintendent of the
New Orleans Water-works by a Radical suc
cessor, we are rejoiced to know that bis ser
vices, if desired, may be secured as con
suiting engineer, both in planning and con
structing water-works for Atlanta.
Now,here is an opportunity that ought not
to be let slip. Whatever may be the opin
ions of some as to the General’s military ge
nius, all who know him unite in bearing tes
timony to his skill as an engineer, and his
incorruptible honesty and earnestness of
purpose.

gestion of a malignant partisan, is thus
liable to be carried out of his own county
for trial.
It is no marvel that the masses through
out the Northern States are rising up and
setting theses! of their condemnation upon
the party that is so blindly oblivious of the
sacred rights of Individuals.
The people of the South since the war
have seen their fellow-citizens dragged
from their homes by military satraps, put
in sweat-boxes, and compelled to remain
there weeks and months ignorant of the
charges against them. Civil Courts, how
ever distant from their homes, they great
ly prefer to military commissions. Hence,
notwithstanding the passage of the En
forcement Act so odious to their Northern
fellow-citizens, they are quiet and serene.
As they have no power to remedy the ills
under which the people groan, they say to
those who have wounded themselves with
the missiles directed against the down
trodden people of the South, “Physicians,
heal yourselves.”
OUIl WASHINGTON LETTER;
Congressional—Another Blow at
States Rights—Personal Abuse
in the House and Senate—Ex-
tiovernor Bard and the True
Georgian—Washington Chat.
Special Correspondence Atlanta Constitution.)
Washington- June 8, 1S70.
The first half of this Congressional week
has passed without an incident of a start
ling character.
In the Senate, on Monday, Mr. Stewart
introduced a bill intended to break up the
system of Coolie contracts,- by which the
Chinese laborers are imported into this
country and held to labor for four years.
Stewart is from the rotten borough of Ne
vada, and is a crazy-headed fanatic. He
scents slavery in the air; and as the ne
groes cannot, or will not, supply the de
mand for labor in the.Soutb, he is desirous
that no other class should. This is the way
in whicii such men os Stewart exemplify
their “loyalty.”
The Senate refused to consider an amend
ment to its rule, which would have tended
to choke off debate.
Private bills were rained upon the Speak
er’s table in the Houseon Monday.
Mr. Schcnck’s tax bill, and his tariff
amendment, to the same, were - finally
squeezed through.
Yesterday, in the Senate. Chandler tried
to get up the bill to provide for an Air-
Line Railroad lrom-Washington to New
York, but did not succeed. A striking fea
ture in this bill is, that it grants the right
of way through States without say ing, “ by
70ur leave” to the States whose territory
I s invaded. It is another blow at States’
rights, and another stride toward a Con
gressional despotism.
In the Senate to-day the San Domingo
job came up in a new shape, on the memo
rial of one Hatch, who was imprisoned by
the authorities, and alleges his detention
was due to General Babcock, in order that
certain treaty operations of the General
might not be exposed. Mr. Chandler said
Hatch was a scoundrel, and not to he be
lieved. Mr. Henry, who presented the me
morial, said Hatch was as worthy of cre
dence as Chandler; and both Ferry and
Sumner thought Babcock ought to be cash
iered. Nye and Drake thought differently.
Finally, the matter was referred to a select
committee of seven. The Indian Appropri
ation bill was then resumed.
In the House Mr. Fitch made a personal
explanation with regard to a statement in
the Washington correspondence of the New
York Evening Post, connecting him with
the Cuban bond lobby. He said the Post’s
correspondent was a ~ wicked and coward
ly liar,” and that his statements were un
mitigated falsehoods. The debate on the
Funding bill commenced yesterday, and

Want of Vitality.—Sometimes there Is
a lack of vitality in large and apparently
wcll-dcvclopcd frames. Herculean siucws
and muscles aro not always indicative <>f
stamina and constitutional- vigor in their
possessor. Health depends more upon the
condition of tho stomach, the liver and tho
bowels, than upon the breadth of tliu
shoulders, or the sizo ot loose levers and
pulleys of tho system In which strcngtli U

machinery is of itself no protectivo against
sickness and decay. Easy and perfect di
gestion, regular and healthy secretion’s

against disease, the best guarantees of

of Georgia wants to know if The Consti

United States. The “paramount sover

The consolidation party now in power,
which neither respects the “ reserved

TUE JOURNALISTIC BABD.
The Right Rev. Samuel Bard, L.L. D, A,
S. S-, and ex-Governor of Idaho, has an
nounced his intention of starting a new
daily paper in Atlanta, to be dated' the
True Georgian.. Is it possible that Dr. Bard
can in .any way represent the true senti
ments of the people of Georgia ? If so,poor
Georgia must indeed be given over to ve
nality and prostitution. It should not be
forgotten that Bard exerted himself to af
flict the true people of Georgia with bis Ox-
cellency, Rufus Brutus, the express agent
—that for his support of Bullock and villi-
fleation of all true Georgians, he was made
State printer, and received for such ser
vices the most extravagant compensation
It should be remembered that Bard's paper
was the vehicle of abuse and slander nsed
by Bullock & Co., until there arose a ques
tion of additional compensation. Then a
seeming rupture took place between His
Excellency and Bard, which rupture was
healed by the bogus sale of tlio New Era,
and the cordial recommendation of Bard
for Governor of Idaho, by Bullock, Blod
gett, Hulbert, Erskine, Dunning, McCay
& Co.
Bard, having been nominated for Gov
ernor of Idaho through the influence of
Bullock and his friends,;was confirmed only
through their intercession. After being
thus honored in these rare days of carpet
bag and scalawag titles, Bard now pro
poses, with the chaplet of fame encircling
his pure and patriotic brow, to enlighten
the heathens of Georgia upon the princi
ples of loyalty, consistency,'virtue and
self-abnegation. Can it be possible that
the people ot Georgia have become so stu
pefied by negro and Yankee domination
that they cannot peer through the treach
erous banner under which the facile Bard
proposes to do battle? If they cannot sec
the pit which is being opened hourly (un
der one disguise or another) for their burial,
let them bow their necks at once to the
galling yoke, and abandon tbeir offspring
forever as slaves and serfs to the most des
picable of God’s creation
Who can trust a man as guardian of tbeir
interests and liberties who cohabits with
plunderers, slanderers and poltroons—who
was recommended, nominated and con
firmed to office by Bullock and his thiev
ing crew ?

Dyspepsia is often the punishment in-
inflicted by Nature for violation of her
laws in regard to diet and exercise, but
may arise from other causes. It is nor.
however, as some of tho faculty would
make us believe, incurable. When the di
gestive organs arc oppressed, the bowel*
constipated or irregular,the brain lethargic,
the nervons system unnaturally sen
sitive, the animal system depressed, ami
the pulse is unequal, the patient will know
what it is to be suffering with symptom* of
Dyspepsia. An antidote and cure for this
distressing complaint presents itself iu
