MACON JUNE 7, 1870-
Pare Wine**
Messrs. George T. Bo S ers’ Sons are sole
ft «nts for the sale of the celebrated Smyser &
Jackson Wines [see advertisement] which are
made without the addition of any sugar or alco
hol, by the use of the rich must of the Delaware
grape in such combination with others as to in
sure sufficient body and strength by the natural
process of fermentation. Whoever will try
these wines will find them vastly superior to the
ordinary imported wines to be found in this
oo tin try, in smoothness and fruitiness, and their
wholesome and invigorating effects nponthe
system; and they are afforded at such moderate
rates as to favor the substitution as a matter of
economy. The difference in the intimaoy of
the incorporation of aloohol by fermentation,
and its mere addition for the purpose of “keep
ing the wine," is very great, and it constitutes
the main distinction between a healthful wine,
permanently invigorating in its effects, and a
beverage which merely flushes and exhilarates
for a moment.
Georgia on the Tapis Again.
Gen. Butler from the Reconstruction Commit
tee, as will bo seen from onr noon dispatches,
made an eft’ort to supersede the Tax Bill with a
new Georgia bill reported from the Reconstruc
tion Committee, but he' was foiled. The House
proceeded with the voting upon amendments to
thoTax Bill. The telegrams further state that
but a minority of the committee reported this
bill—the vote being takenin athinmeeting of the
committee; and that the committee really stands
eight to six against the report. It is presumed
that the House will soon dispose of the Tax Bill,
and that the Georgia bill may perhaps be taken
up about Monday next. The telegram promises
a sharp discussion and a vigorous struggle.
Death or Col. A. H. Kenan.—The copy of
an editorial notice of this sad event, as well as
other matters of current news, was blown from
tho office files in the severe squall of Thursday
night, and thus no announcement appeared in
onr own paper of a factwhich we telegraphed to
the press generally. CoL Kenan died at his
residence in Milledgeville, on Thursday morning
last, of inflammation of the bowels. Our Wednes
day’s paper announced him in a critical condi
tion, and a private dispatch on Thursday morn
ing conveyed the sad tidings of the fatal termi
nation of the attack.
Bishop Kempeb, Bishop of the Protestant
Episcopal Church of tho diocese of Wisconsin,
died on Sunday. Tho funeral services Tuesday
were conducted by Bishop Smith, of Kentucky,
the presiding Bishop of tho Church in the Uni
ted States; Bishops Lee, of Illinois; Bail, of
Kansas; Robbrtson, of Missouri, and Clarkson,
Of New York. Over 2,000 persons were present
from all parts of the country. Assistant Bishop
Armitage succeeds deceased as Bishop of Wis
consin.
Fobwaed Cotton.—On Thursday Mr. J. W.
Knott sent ns a few stalks of Peeler Cotton from
a field of five acres, and claims that the stalk
represents the average of the field. They must
have stood iu the field from fifteen to eighteen
inches high, and they contained twelve or four
teen forms, each. This is far ahead of any
thing we have seen in this vicinity. The field
lies just outside of the city limits, near Judge
Knott’s residence.
Loosing foe the Chinese.—The New Orleans
Picayune of the 31st notices the arrival of sev
eral officers of the Arkansas River Yalley Im
migration Society, who are looking anxiously
for tho arrival of the Ville de St. Lo, with the
first Chinese immigrants for their association.
The vessel is now ont from HoDg Kong 110
days, and may reasonably be expected within
the present week.
This will be the first arrival of Chinese im
migrants on the Western shores of this conti
nent direct from their native country; and the
Ville de St. Lo will be the first vessel direct
from a China port to New Orleans.
The young woman of Atlanta who felt better
for wearing good clothes than for going to
church, is rather outshone by the Chicago dam
sel who thus forcibly expresses herself: “In
walking np a long room, when the women who
don’t like yon are looking at your back, there is
a moral support conveyed by a Paris dress not
to be derived from the firmest religious princi
ples.”
Hebe is what Madame Rat&zzi says about Ro
chefort and the Empress Eugenie:—.T do not
find the least fault with that clever man in ex
posing the Empress of the French. The vain
creature, although nearly as old as Methuselah,
still wants her journalistic lacqueys to call her
an angel of beauty and grace. What if they

Montgomery Advertiser says it is estimated that
no less than fonrteen thousand actual laborers
are at work on the different railroads in that
State. Of this number, the majority are on the
South and North, and the A’abama and Chatta
nooga railroads.
The Montgomery and Enfanla railroad is
completed to within two miles of Union Springs,
and 300 hands are at work on the gap.

Slave Trade ExtraordiDsry.
The Philadelphia Press gives the history of
the discovery of Cotton Mather's letter anent
the capture of Penn and his followers and trad
ing them in Barbadoesfor “mmme and sugar."
It was discovered by the Librarian of the Mas
sachusetts Historical Society in overhauling a
lot of old papers. The letter bears date “Sep
tember ye 15, 1082," and is addressed to “ye
aged and beloved Mr. John Higginson.” It
runs thus!
There ba now at sea a sbippe (for onr friend
Mr. Esaias Holoraft, of London, did advise me
by the last packet that it wolde sail sometime in
August) called ye Welcome, R. Greenway mas
ter, which has aboard a hundred or more of ye
heretics and malignants called Quakers, with
W. Penn, who is the chief scamps at the hedde
of them. Ye General Court has accordingly
given secret orders to Master Malacbi Hnxett,
of ye brig Porposse, to waylaye ye said Wel
come as near the coast of Codde as may be, and
make captive ye said Penne and his ungodlie
crew, so that ye God may be glorified and not
mocked on ye soil of this new coontrie with ye
heathen worehippe of these people. Muohe spoyl
can be made by selling ye whole lotte to Barba-
does, where slaves fetch good prices in mmme
and sugar, and we shall not only do ye Lord
great servioe by punishing ye wicked, but shall
make gTeat gayne for his ministers and people.
Master Hnxett feels hopeful, and I will set
down the news he brings when his shippe comes
back.
Yours in ye bowolls of Christ.
Cotton Matheb.
Did the Philadelphia Press remark as follows?
“No record of Puritan history moro happily il
lustrates the harmonious proportions of ‘gaine
and godlinesso’ which combine in the Puritan
character and give it that peculiar strength and
flavor. Your profligate cavalier of Virginia and
unthrifty Huguenot of the Carolines, supposing
they had disliked tho neighborhood and society
of the harmless Quakers would, probably, have
met them at the beach with a mint julep and a
supply of roasting pigs, poultry and yams, and
told them, in their profane way, that, by all tho
gods, they must not think of landing here. If
they did, there would bo trouble. They must
put out and select some other place.
Now contrast this improvidence with tho pious
and discreet conduct of the venerable Mather.
His plan contemplated not only a deliverance
from heresy, but its speedy transmution into a
liberal supply of “sugar and mmme" for the
saints in Boston.
And this singular and righteous prevision (does
the Press continue ?) hath characterized these
people unto the present day, insomuch that no
wise man is permitted to marvel that the saints
of Massachusetts have always outwitted their
adversaries and the outside world, and have
come at last to possess the land, and by means
of their various reformings, and changings and
fixings, and their protectings and bounties have
compelled all outsiders to bring tribute of money
and power and authority and lay it at their feet
Yea, such is the righteous providence of these
people, that the very trade in slaves instituted
by them in this country, and which bath been
wrought by their hand3 into destruction and
misery for other parts thereof, hath been so
bandied by their saintly craft and wisdom as to
bring them glory, honor, riches and power, in
somuch that whoever hereafter shall trade with
them should look well to himself. And it is not
to be donbted that their sagacity hath, in a
measure, served the whole American continent
as the venerable Mather would have served Penn
and his followers. For although they have not
'got mnche spoyle by selling ye whole lotte to
Barbadoes,” their craft hath subsidised the
wealth and power of the continent to “make
greate gayne” for the chosen people. Yea, they
bestride tbe necks of the people, as in the pro
fane book the ancient sage of the sea is repre
sented to hath gotton his posteriors on the shoul
ders of Sinbad. _
Singular or Plural.
The point in the disensaion which has arisen
upon the President’s late neutrality proclama
tion, wherein the phrase “The United States
is," was used, upon which tho question of a
grammatical error has arisen, is thus noticed
by the New York World:
■ The point [of a grammatical error] is soon
settled. The Constitution says. Article II., sec
tion 1, paragraph 7, that the President shall re
ceive during his term of office a fixed compen
sation for his services, and he shall not receive
within that period any other emolument from
the United States or any of them. Also, Article
L, section 9, paragraph 7: “No title of nobili
ty shall be granted by tbe United States, and no
person holding aDy office of profit or trnst un
der them” shall receive presents from a foreign
power unless with tho permission of Congress.
Also, Articlo IIL, section 3, paragraph 1 :—
‘Treason against the United States shall consist
only in levying war against them, or in adher
ing to their enemies, giving them aid and com
fort.” And still furthermore, Article XL,
(amendment): ‘‘The judicial power of the
United States shall not be'construed to extend
to any suit in law or equity commenced or pro
secuted against one of the United States by citi
zens of another State or subjects of any foreign
power.” — .
But, says some loil man, all this is the subtle
vims of slavery; we have had a war and purged
the Constitution of this plural heresy, so that
if there be a unity anywhere, tho United States
is Is they? Let us see. The thirteenth
amendment is that which abolished slavery,
and in this we read that “neither slavery nor
involuntary servitude, except as a punishment
for crime, whereof the party shall have been
duly convicted, shall exist within"the United
States, or any place subject to theie jurisdic
tion.”
Words are emphatically things, when applied
to constitutional interpretation. The gram
matical question here is a question of. tho char
acter of the Government.
What Elected Illm.
We believe it is generally conceded that Bro.
Whittemore, the cadet seller and hot gospeler
from Massachusetts, has been re-elected to Con
gress from South Carolina, by the negroes of
his district. The following letter that Dunn,
his opponent, also a Radical, read on the stump
all over the district, explains his success: :
Boston, April 10, 1870.
T.C. Dunn, Little Jticcr, A. C. :
I have-had a long talk with W. F.
Shaw, the man from whom Whittemore stole
money. Ha was in Mr. Shaw’s employ and took
tho money at various times in stock, which he
sold. His speculations extended over quite a
- space of time, and amounted in the aggregate
Chops in Florida.—A private letter from Tal-
ahassee, dated the 2nd inst, says: “We have
ne prospects for large crops, both com and cot
ton, and the people seem cheerful. The cater
pillar appeared much earlier than rtifa, last
year, but there are no signs of any so far this
■eason. ”
Twiggs County.—Speaking of com growing,
one of tbe oldest and most intelligent citizens
of Twiggs, says in his opinion, the oora planted
in that oounty, allowing a fair yield will not
supply the people to Christmas. Thst looks
ntber disparate.
The Pictorial Pioneer is the name of a new
illustrated newspaper in Baltimore.
to some $5,000. This amount was ascertained,
but whether more was taken is not known.
Shaw has a writing of Mr. Whittemore acknowl
edging the theft, and promising to restore the
amount as soon as he can. Up to this time he
has not paid anything. Shaw is now quite friend
ly to Whittemore, and yon will see it is for hi3
interest to have him in Congress. * * *
8. P. Sheppard,
of the firm of Morse, Sheppard & Co., dry goods
merchants, Boston.
The reader will see that Mr. Shaw’s desire to
have Whittemore in Congress, so that he can
make money and pay back the $5,000, is rather
hard on Congress.
Bough On O’Neil.
Some poetical genius who evidently appre
ciatea both the air and moral of “Captain Jinks'
gets after this distinguished Fenian in tbe New

But I think I'll spend this night in jail.
For tbe Lion might give me a rap of hie tail,

But yon know very well that’s aH in my eye:
When I aee the redooais I’ll bid them good-bye

The Rain and Crops.—Rains have fallen
thronghont tho county in quantity sufficient to

auspicious. The crops are clear of grass, freed-

cut, and in the course of ten days the entire crop
will be saved. It is very good—the yield as
abundant as can bo produced by the land. Oats
are small and low, but the recent rains may
produce an average crop. Cotton and corn
three weeks ahead of tho same time last year,
and perfectly luxuriant.

■ A Ranks county correspondent of the Chron

is greater than any sown in previous years. I
think there is corn enough planted in this vi
cinity to supply the local demand. This, how
ever, is not the general rule. Tho practice is,
cotton fields and corn patches. We have prom
ise of a fine frnit crop—apples, peaches, plums
and cherries. The freedmen are working well,
are quiet and orderly, and appear tobe contented
and satisfied.”
A Hart connty correspondent of the Chronicle

Audacious Conduct of a “Rebel”
Mother.
The World’s Washington correspondent, of
Tuesday, relates the following incident of the
decoration of the Federal dead at Arlington.
We are surprised that this “rebel” woman’s
name is not given by the correspondent. It
should be held up to the indignant reprobation
of all “loyal” ladies and gentlemen everywhere.
One Southern lady, dressed in deep mourning,
while passing a grave on the head-board of which
was inscribed tho name of her son over tho
word in glaring letters “rebel,” quietly left a
crown of roses on the green sod, and was pass
ing on when tbe harsh voice of one of the com
mittee gentlemen ordered her to take it away
again or ho would throw it among the crowd.
Tho lady burst into tears, but was compelled to
obey.
Daniel Webster on the Democracy.—On hia
death bed this great lawyer and statesman cte
dared that the United States Government and
constitutional liberty wonld thereafter depend
upon the Democratic party. The Hon. George
T. Gartis, a bosom friend of Daniel Webster,
gives tbe following accouutof the last words
that great man ever uttered on tho subject of
politics. It will be remembered that Webster
died just before the end of the Fierce and Scott
camgaign: .
Calling me to his bedside by my Christian
name, he said: “The Whig candidate will not
be elected.. You love your country, and you
think its welfare involved in Whig success. This
is not so; but let me warn you, as you love your
country, to give no countenance to a sectional,
geographical party. The Whigs, after this
election, will break up, and upon the rains of
our party a sectional party will arise. The atai
bility of tho Union will hereafter depend upon
the Democracy.”
A Sensible Fellow.— The New York papers

desire to hand down to posterity. That man is
Charles Hoyzb ! Hoyer became jealous of his

took “cold pizen” and killed himself. By that

A Rney Description of tbc Austista Ball-
road Convention—A Chapter on Axe
OrindlBff.
From the Atlanta Constitution.]
AuotrsTY, May 12, 1870.
Editor Constitution: I don’t see yon in this
lovely city. Yon ought to have come. Yon
don’t know what you have missed. I love Au
gusty; I love-her beautiful streets; her venera-
ble buildings and the time honored names that
overhang their doors; I love her evergreens and
flowers; I; love her Planter’s Hotel and Mr.
Goldstein; I love her Fair Grounds and fair sex;
her matrons and her maidens, (that love is an
extract from Mr. Howard’s speech, you can keep
it ont of the copy yon send to iny house;) I love
her street cars at ten cents a ride; her noble
firemen; her beautiful Fire Engines and Big
Steve. I lovo everything in Augusty, and es
pecially her many conventions to which every
body and his wife goes free. Blit, Mr. Editor,
I deem it my duty to tell Atlantay her impend
ing danger. You haven’t got any May Conven
tion. You’ve got no long Railroad with 1,300
stockholders. I tell you its a whale.
Think of a corporation 175 miles long (be
sides three or four branches) in Augusty. The
power of that Convention is tremendous. There
sat old John P. looking like a King. There
was Athens, Madison and Covington and ’Wash
ington. There was all the Baptist Colleges and
Methodist Societies with their stooks in their
pockets.; T)>ere were Delegates from cross
roads, and mountain gaps, and river landings,
and slate quarries, all come to. build up and
sustain Augusty. Everybody for the Georgia
Railroad, and all wanted to put their shonlders
to the wheel and “do something.” I never bsw
such an undyin affection for any one town.
Tho King had Aardly got upon his thrown be
fore a time-honored and familiar voice said:—
“Mr. President, I am a friend to Augusta. I
have always been a friend to this beautiful city.
I am a friend to the Georgy Road. I take de
light in her prosperity, and note sure this pros
perity and put U beyond all peradventure, I
will state that we are building a railroad from
Carters ville to Van Wert, and with your friend
ly aid we propose to go on, and on, and on until
we tap the Mississippi river and bring her last
catfish to the city of Augusta. Since the hu
man mind cannot foresee the benefits that the
spoedy extension of this road will bring to the
Georgy Road and the city of Augusta. Many
more pertinent remarks were made. About
this time I heard a Rabun Gap man inquire
“wherebouts is this place they call YanDirt?”
The next address was delivered by a Griffin
gentleman, full of fire and feelinfor Gri—no—
Augusta. If, said, he, the Georgy Road would
only build a road across from Griffin to Coving
ton, her prosperity and progress would be great
ly enhanced. Only 37 mils would cut off the
triangle. Griffin was in love with Augusta.—
She had no love for Macon or Savannah. It
was over 40 miles out of the way to go round
by Atlanta and there was the rich county of
Henry, that was now covered up and hemmed
in by two great lines of Railroads. The citi
zens of Henry did’t know whether to trade with
Griffin or Atlanta, or Covington, but if this
Railroad was bnilt they wonld all go to Augusta.
A distinguished gentleman from Covington
next arose, and' only wanted to add a word in
behalf of this great, enterprise. He said, Mr.
President: “Bom, sir, in a land of Augusta,
with every pulse in my right arm throbbing to
her success, I hope, sir, that this Road will be
built.” He said severil more similar words.
About this time arose a member from Gun
ter’s Landing, one of Carlisle’s earnest men who
6ays he is 5 feet C and a half inches high, with
great emphasis on the half. I don’t mean that
he said this'in his speech; but he did say that,
in his judgment, it would greatly conduce to the
interest of the Georgy Road and Augusty, if
they would help his people build a Road from
Guntersville to Gadsden, and then from Gads
den to Atlanty. But it was to bo understood
that tho Guntersville end was to be built first,
and the other end could float around loose for
while.
The next proposition came from Clark county
or thereabouts, in which the distinguished
speaker said that 40 400 years ago (I dident dis
tinctly understand which) it was decided that
the true lino of the Georgy Road was through
Athens and Rabun Gap to the Mississippi. Time
had strengthened and developed the truth of
this route. It ought to be done now. It was
for the interest of the road and Augusty to do
it. ’ It-is ruinous to delay. Look at Atlanty with
her Air Line. ‘She is going to sap the very
foundations of North East Georgy. There is
but one ridge in all that country that a railroad
can be built on. That is Chattahoochee ridge.
We must git that ridge and hold it. Atlantay
is making for it. Let us get ahead of her-and
then her Air Line will dry up. Mr. Christy says
the Air Line is going to Charlotte, and that
Charlotte has nothing to trade on but chinka
pins and ho never knew anything made a swap
ping chinkapins. But, sir, I tell you, Mr. Pres-
! dent, Mr. Christy is mistaken; that Air Line is
going to rnin Ath—no, Augusty.
A gentleman from Wilkes rose forward twice
and said, “that if they wanted a road to Rabnn
Gap, the true line was to extend the Washing
ton Branch, and he would suggest the taking
up of tho road from Union Point to Athens and
lap it on to the Washington branch, and it
would mighty nigh reach the Gap. He said
his people wonld help; that he knew several
men who had laidnp a little surplus money
that they was goin to put into Gewanno next-
year, acd ho wonld advise ’em to pnt it in the
railroad ; he knew one man who had $300.
The next project proposed was a branch road
from the city of Rutiedge to Big Shanty, which
would shorten the line from Augusta to Chatta
nooga 24 miles, and get til the cotton yarns
from Roswell factory.
I felt like I should have been better off if I
had staid at home, for yon see Mr. Editor, I
had an ox to grind myself, and the grind-stone
was wore out before my turn come. Neverthe
less, I made a hvpotheneuse toward the King,
and sez I, “Mr. King, this road has got a heap
of children—some of em’ legitimate, and soma
of «m’ under bond, bnt I fear yon have forgot
ten a step child of yours up about Rome, that’s
heen'workin’ hard for his step-daddy these 20
odd years. I’ll say this much Tor the poor oast
iff thing. It’s only 20 miles loDg, but it’s made
4 times as much mony for yon as the Athens
branch of 40 miles, or any other branch. I
think if yon will run it out to Wilis Yalley,
(abont 44 miles further,) that it will do more
than Kabun Gap or any other gap. Besides
this, Mr. King Bur, I desire you to understand
that I think the extension of the Rotae Road
will help Rome.” Mr. King bowed graciously
to me, and I think he will do snmthin.” •
- Tho whole was wound qp by Mr. Wyman, who
rose and sed: Mri King, Mr. King, I say, Mr.
King—I am a poor man, and very humble man,
and hain’t got no stock in tho road, and wasn’t
bom in Augnsta; but. I’ve invented a balloon
.that will save tho trouble of building all the
roads, and I think will help Augusta,
■Whereupon Mr. Cohen politely informed the
gentleman that he had better go out to the fair
ground with his balloon. He beggedpardon and;
retired.
Mr. Peters dident say a word out loud—your
Mr. Peters, I mean—but I set just behind him,
and I heard him soliloquise:
‘Tell me, ye winged winds, do ye not know some
i BPOt- a -a. ( 0 -. -■>-»*
Where onr Atlanta is, and Augnsta is not ? ”
Abont this time Mr. Foster, of Madison, was
w around trying to sell his stock. I axed
what was the matter, and he said if they
was goin to build roads from Novy Skoshy to
Van Dirt and every littlo seaport on the Ten
nessee River, there w;ould be assessments instead
of dividends, and he was going to sell out, or
kick out, or ronig. He said Augusta had tod
many friends for a Madison man.
Yours in haste,
Bill Abp.
P. S. Tell Mr. Peters and Mr. Hillyer to
hurry up the Air-Line—make for the Chattahoo
chee Ridge early, but see to it that George don’t,
go by Athens. He teas born titere and they voted
for him, and human nature is mity weak.
iu Southwestern Oeorgia,
A friend who has just returned from a tour in
Southwestern Georgia, famishes the following
report of .the agricultural condition and pros
pects at our request: .
The writer has made an extended tour
through many of the counties of Southwestern
Georgia during the past fifteen days. The pro
longed drought of six weeks' duration extended
everywhere, bnt it had been succeeded by a
a most beautiful fall, or rather series of falls,
of rain. Cora, cotton, wheat and the smaller
crops looked remarkably well in every field
which fell under his eye. The oat crop has
been a partial failure—the dry weather striking
it at a time when it should have matured. Lit
tle wheat was sown, bnt it is now being har
vested and is yielding well.
Never were better stands of cotton obtained.
It is small for the season, but there is no lack in
tbe quantity of Stalks above ground. Since the
rains of last week and the week before, cotton
seed which have lain dormant for a long time
have almost universally come np. The long
drought hart nothing really'except oats, end
afi'orded planters an excellent opportunity to
oloan their fields of grass, chop cotton to a
stand, and pnt everything in fine order. This
was not lost; so that when the showers came
they’fonndall prepared for them.
The area of land planted in the great staple is
about equal to that of last year, whilst three
times the amount of fertilizers has been used
over any time since the lands were first shorn of
the original forest. As every financial hope
kings upon the production of cotton, the plant
ers are just- now in the finest spirits and look
forward with the greatest confidence to reaping
a rich reward for their labor. Disasters may
yet come whioh may blight the crop, but it is to
day in an extraordinarily fine condition.
In view of all which has been written and
said, the writer was astonished to see so much
com in the ground. If heaven sees fij; to send
rain, almost enough com will be raised to sup
ply the wants of the great body of planters.
As a rale an honest effort is made to produce a
sufficient quantity. The planting of a. plenty
has been the rule—none at all the exceptiomf
In some few neighborhoods grain has given way
to cotton almost exclusively. In such sections
repeated efforts to raise com, in past years, have
invariably resulted in repeated failures. This
has led to discouragement and partial abandon
ment. No one can find fault with these men.
They complain of the ungenerous flings of the
press toward them, when the facts are as above.
Upon the whole the situation is most encour
aging. Every living black and white is in the
fields knuckling down to the hardest work—pre
senting a picture of reconstruction, golden-lined
front and back, behind whiefe lingers a brilliant
dream of future Georgia, dazzling with the
truest elements of peace and prosperity. * • ■
Affairs in South Carolina.
Friendly Portrait or VVliIttemorc-<iHi»r_
rels of tlie C. B’s.
The New York Tribune, of the 1st instant,
publishes a report upon South Carolina politics
from a “onr special correspondent,” a very
radical gentleman who touches things gingerly,
but is compelled to give a distressing account
of the political status. He complains that the
sudden extension of the ballot to the cegres
and the disfranchisement of the whites has in
duced “a facility of corruption in politics,”—
that there “is an nnpleaasntly large class” of
men who live by politics—and when it is under
stood that public affairs are shaped at ihe bal
lot box by men who never saw the inside of a
school house, or owned a five dollar bill, it is
easy to see that serious'dangers beset them,
and there is peril of a “chronic political cor
ruption which it will be hard' to counteract.”
We should think so. - ~
Speaking the views of “leading Republicans
throughout the State,” about Whittemore, the
writer says.:
These all givo hun the praise of being a tire
less, con=‘.dL. -auorer, ever ready to answer any
call, able to speak in stentorian tones by tbe
hoar and by the day, equally capable on tbe
stomp and in the pnlpit, and an adept in all the
social expedients known to the local politician.
Bat they all attribute to him a readiness to re
plenish his pockets by any method, a willing
ness to confiscate small perquisites as well as
large ones, an inability to distinguish between
his personal treasury and that of tho party
which cannot bnt bring any politician eventual
ly to grief. “Why, Sir,” said one gentleman to
me, “when two lady s ihool-teachers came to
Darlington, and the hotel refused to take them
in, this man took them down to the house of
one of the best citizens, and got him to keep
them over night, a man withthe real Southern
notion of hospitality; and then the Representa
tive in Congress collected 75 cents apiece from
them for their lodging, and pnt it in his own
pocket. They went to the Bame house for shel
ter again a' few weeks after, and offered
their host in the morning the same snm they
had paid before ; -and he reseuted it as an in
sult ; and so the whole contemptible swindle
came out.” “Yes, and that was hardly smaller
then collecting dimes and quarters from all the
negroes in his district for a national flag, and
then getting the money for the same flag from
people in the North on the plea of the poverty
of bis people.” “We found his accounts in a
sad stato in onr Republican State Committee;
and when'we inquired int,o some of the deficien
cies, bo said he had spent a certain hundred
dollars for printing ballots for such and such a
village; but the leading negro from there oon
tradioted him on the spot, and said on the con
trary be had sent down and demanded a collect
ion of money to pay for the tickets, which had
been duly made and entrusted' to him. So we
were unable to certify to his correctness, but
made a report speaking of his great ardor and
indefatigable work in the campaign, and regret
ting his carelessness in keeping his accounts.”
Whittemore must be a genuine “Pilgrim Fa
ther”-—a true old “Cotton Mather.” This cor
respondent demands of Congress in the name of
the Republican party of South Carolina, “will
not the House rise U the dignity of refusing to
receive him."
We believe the honest truth is that Whittemore
is a fair sample of the entire “white Republi
cans” so-called of South Carolina. But he has
got the inside traok of the other carpet-baggers
and thoroughly identified himself with the ne
groes as against them. If the old Palmetto
