FRIDAY MORNING. JULY 11, 1S73.
the triple uluitt or mi.
A Titty and Wli. Foil rtti of Jaly Siwcli-
Hanift Cojk lu Turomanj.
The “Fourth" wee observed with much spirit
by regenerated Tammany, several cipiut
speeches being made. The speech of the oo-
cesion, however, vu from the Hon. S. 8., or
*» be is more familiarly known, 8unset Cos,
who is as wise as he is witty, and as true a
Democrat as can be found. We quote the main
portion of his speech below:
The election last year, if exceptional, was
providential. It is hard to contend against the
higher powers. General 'Wilson onoe said that
his party of Christian statesmen was “planted
on the rock of ages, end bad ail tte measure-
leos moral icilnecoea of tbe universe to sustain
them.” Of course. A party so immaculately
ordained makes no mistakes. It ever indulges
*!n a spirit trnly celestial. In this super
human goodness ilea the eolation of tbe
electorial enigma of last year. If a coroner
may be allotted the cheerful duty of sitting
on bis own corpse, as one of last fall’s vic
tims I would melodize a momentary “mis
erere." Tbe last year was cot a year for grace.
It abonld be known aa nr.r.tij miralilit, for
tiikzz oazaT Disisizns,
the horse distemper, the Boston fire, and the
Presidential election. They wore what Mrs.
Maiaprop won Id call dispensations of an on*
scropnlons Providenoe. May I explain tbe laat
dispensation in the light of the other two, aioce
these other two have each had an ezegeeis from
tbe Puritan clergy? The merciful aspect of
calamity was tbe theme. It was written in fire,
and illustrated in the text, “Shall there be evil
in tbe city, and the Lord have not done It?”
Tbe good man in Boston improved it to deter
other cities from loo much Boston estmranoe
and Hartford Insurance. The cleft of the rock
was narrow and dark, bnt, bo said, it waa cov
ered by tbe Lord’s band! Tbe fire fiend was a
friend in disguise. Like tbe election and other
calamities, It was not proportioned to tbe moral
deserts of those who soffered. To bnild fire
proof vaults sod pay for policies wore presump
tions distasteful to God, therefore he made tbe
magnificent Mansard a match to light np a city
for a warning and reduce it to ashes for an en
■ample.
A Cincinnati minister preached upon tbe
“eplzoot" with similar improvement. His text
was “Behold the band of the Lord is opon tbe
horses.” Because men were in alliance with
bintes; because, I snppose, some men were
more attached to a horse rsoe than to tbe hu
man raoe, and ran inordinately tho qntdrnped
with tbe Administration, it was divinely ordered
that when one suffered tbs other most. These
gospellers unintentionally drew the sad lesson
of the election—that the moat deserving suffered
most, and the worst least. Jove once hnrled a
thunderbolt at a Sophist. It struck and con
sumed a temple and left the bid man unscathed.
To tbe nnpbilosopbical mind thero may be no
lesions in this triplex calamity of laat year.
Hneh a one fears to justify tbe ways of God to
men. He has not learned that “beneath a
frowning Providence he hides n smiling faeo.
Wbat Frenchman was It who said that “Irony
was the foundation of the divino character ?”
If bo 1)0 right, wbat a soli mn vein of mrea-.tic
disapproval of the Administration Is to befonnd
in last year's vox populi, vox Dei t
Irony Is a sort of ridicule, which soemsto ap
prove in order to expose—the wrong. I am not
ante bnt that tbe French eynlo was right in de
scribing this terr.ble manifestation of tt.e i >-.ty.
Even tbe Latin motto, that the father cherishes
whan bo chastises, and strengthens ns when he
wrestles with ns, has its counterpart In Bibliosl
lore. There is a divine forboarance which waits
for repontanoe. When tbe repentance fails,
forbear an oe falls; and lo! the terrible wrath of
tbe Father! I would rather believe In |he Tal
mud, or tbe Book of Mormon, or that this world
were wilbont a plan, than accept last year’s ver
dict m the m finiH approbation of the good
power wbiob mles men and nations. If it it not
irony, It is meaningless.
ora OKEAT r.t/LKU AND HZ70EUEB.
The first election of tbe President was con
siderod by him and others as a reward for bis
military aervioe. Tho list ono was held to be
the vindication of his personal character and
his policy as a ruler and reformer. As to bis
personal charaoter I have no remark. Onr for
eign ministers first ironically interpreted the
eloction. Fall of tho San Domingo treaty and
tb« 8m i Hgniloqaenoe they laid down their
crowns, even boforo the inauguration made it
dccorons; and that apostlo of civil service, the
aooim.pll-.lii .1 Cr.rtis, fi l ling tlmt tbi-ni v..si.u
more far him to do, laid bis reformatory chaplet
at tho altar of success. Bnt we have some who
oomplain. Was thero ever a providence, how
ever well meant, wbiob did not evoke oom-
plaiot? Shipbuilding groans for work; navi
gation bega for bonnues; commerce erics aloud
for gains. Who does not oomplain ?
The brown-fiated rough, tbe shirt eleeved Cid,
Tho backwoudo Uharl.mnaso of empires now,
grow profsno in marts and minds at the East
and tbe West, while the farmers meet in
granges, indignant at leviathan monopolies,
and stamp tbelr hoelson gonty toes of moneyed
dignities. Tho children of toil will not see how
beantifnl it la to oontrlbnto by plongb, loom,
and anvil to the angelic statesmen of this
heaven favored period! They even go so far
as to reproach an unselfish Congress for raising
its pay and tho patriotic President for donbling
hla salary! They call it a vulgar grab, and will
not sco that luxary of high living exslteth a
nation. Bnt did not Homo have her shoddy
displays, superficial fashions, monopolizing
corporations, grinding taxation, and personal
greed; and was not ltome exalted—before she
foil? Are not all eqnal before the law now;
and if Legislatures are bad in Pennsylvania and
New York, then why not allow them to be
bongbt in Kansas, cajoled in Arkansas, and kid
napped in Louisiana? Was there ever su un
reasoning a people ? When we bsvo reposo in
the Bomb, they oall It decay and death; when
itlaaotion, they call it fraud and force. They
ask for posce. Well, is not the administration
continually ringing down the onrtain over the
ssngnlnsry drama of onr war? Yet soldiers
who followed McClellan, Franklin, Slocum and
Hancock grumble because onr starred ensign
remains in the keepingof tho gallant j.yhawker
of Virginia, or bcoanso bis hungry guerrillas
are sharers at the Federal board. They insane
ly cry for Bonthrons like Campbell, Graham
and Unnter; whila Akennan, Longstreet and
Bettis aro willing to represent the no w voiceless
purpose of a once spirited people.
What matters it which class of rebels mlo in
the despoiled Booth—a batatlion of scattered
hammers or tho orderly masses of honest men ?
What matters it whether the Booth is rated by
one man with a kink in bis charaoter, or by an
other with a kink In hia hair ? Whether Louis
iana succumbs to the Gatlin guns of Casey,
the sword of the Federal Execntive, the illegal
decree of Dnrell, or the keen razor of Finch-
baok? Is not reform the order of Providence ?
Did not Wilson plant and Colfax water ? Alas!
ter that reform. There are those who will
persist with crnel mockery in singing its elegy:
lie spring is past, and yet it hath not sprang;
Its trait la dead: its loaves—they aro not
green;
Ita yoath is past, and yot it is not young;
It aaw the world, and yet it waa not seen;
It onco did live, and cow its life is dyne 1
BCXIE MJBII. EUXICTIOXS.
How ornel and nnmerited this refrain as ap
plied jnst now—at least to onr own city and
State, where “reform" is in Rich aotivo erup
tion ! Again, there are others besides the labor
ing man who, styling the lust election “a fero
cious, corrupt, and vulgar scramble,” cannot
see the hand of a kind Providenoe in giving ns
four more years of a heavenly rule 1 Perhaps
they forget that the terrorism of the time sup-
pressed facts which have since transpired. It
may be said that Gen. Grant was Toted for as a
lesser evil; that his opponent aroused the fears
of the timid, wealthy, and selfish; that the oo-
horta who rallied under seventy thousand office
holders, and with money by the million were
inducing that pride of plaoe qndexccssof power
which prepare for a more complete overthrow
and a more comprehensive reform. Bnt was it
not intended that we should draw nigh to the
oentenary of onr national existence, so as to
renew nndrr grander au-pices the splendor of
our career? Again, mar we not study on: some
higher pnrpose whioh permits onr beneficent
financial polioy to continue four years more?
To pay tbe syndioate only ten millions for fond-
log two hundred millions i A paltry sem 1 Bnt
Providence favoredthe unselfish syndicate. Two
thousand millions are cow being placed on the
market under ita patriotio management D;nbt»
leas we shall be even mure generous in the next
recompense. Why not open heart and hand,
ye hard dated yeomanry of onr land ? Labor is
gentle, labor soothes, and is it not eTen more
blessed to give than to receive ? A good Prov
idenoe nnder onr Administration uses onr
soldiers, onr lands, and onr credit to bnild an
other Pacific railroad; why should we grudge
to the proprietors of that road—the syndicate—
the manipulation of all onr funded debt ?
Then there are minds who criticise the vox
Del beoanse we have not resumed specie pay
ments. Bnppose this failure did cost ns in the
past focr years $464,000,000 in imports and
customs. Are we not rich in money and hopes ?
Even merchants—carping creatures—are found
who protest against the Secretary of the Treas
ury changing at will the yoiume of our currency.
They any it u contrary to law, asaiats specnia-
tion, diaoonragea business, and changes valnes.
They think that a bloated issue is not health;
that a plethoric treasury tends to prodigality.
They do not see the beauty of that divinely ar-
rangt J tariff whieh gives hundreds of millions
to tho forty thousands few, though it be at the
expense of tbe forty millions many! Eren the
farmers in their blindness fail to diaoern by tbe
blazing light of thair own oorn the economy of
cheap foot, and a nation's salvation lu onr be-
nefioent tariff! Why does not the nation per-
oeive the divine economy which, forbidding ns
to boy ship* abroad, with tho, largest hearted
liberality bestows ninety millions every year on
the generous foreigner who oomee to onr aid ?
Bnppose onr own tonnage is leas than a third
of that which does onr carrying; snppose it is
■till decreasing, why should not tbe nabobs who
rejoice is this role at home, and who wander
abroad at their awn sweet will, look aloft with
pndu at tbe flag of their nation's friend, be it
English, French or German f What an oppor
tunity to illnatrate the most extended nniveraal
cosmopolitanism. Here la no narrow Ameri
canism. A good lesson to onr vanity, spitefully
say some. No more bombast about onr native
banting, tboogh nnder high tariff it la made at
Lowell. Down with the diaoordant screams of
onr bird of prey ! Why not onltivaae tbe bated
breath of divine humility? Some there are
whq are prond of onr diplomacy, and may com -
pare Franklin with Jay and Dallas with Cramer.
Others, stiil looking abroad, bloah about Vien
na ; bnt does It follow we have leas credit there
than at home ?
CAFT. JACK MSOISO THX BATTLE CUT C7 rBZZDOW.
Who does not recognize an ironic Providence
in onr Indian affaire? The Quaker policy ie
peaoe and—Canby is at rest. Ospt. Jack is ex
alted In life, and If he dies imagination needs no
aid to see him apotbeotizod and standing white
robed on tbe walls of tbe New Jerusalem, sing
ing with John Brown the battle-hymn of free
dom, with the Bcalp lock of the pale woman
dangling at his belt. To come nearer to our
homes and onr interests, in what department of
the Administration does not this high ironic ap
probation appear ? In the mode of appointing
Judges to revoke previous decisions ? In the
grand schemes of internal improvement to
gratify local pride and aggrandize selfish specu
lation ? No in these atone. The intellectual
force of the majority is not less appsrent in toe
general mis-goverement South and North, in
Btate and city. Is it not lata to oomplain of
this? Was it not known that States like North
Carolina bad been betrayed, robbed of re
sources, taxed to impoverishment. States and
railroads pnt nnder bonds of paper and bands
of iron, banded over to rogues who were pre
ferred at Washington? Wbyahanld rebel States
complain if they are left to repudiation and
anarchy ? Did not the men who fnrniBhed the
means to corrupt the ballot last fall, dicker in
tbe false, forged, and illegal bonds of these
States ? Is not that better than secession and
slavery ?
I can understand why we have Pharisaical
cant abont miagovernmont at the Socth from
those who are tbe goilty; bnt I cannot under
stand why tbe victims of this Government and
spoliation ahonld complain when they are told,
"Mind yonr business. Engage in trade. We
will take care of your politic:. Fat in yonr
crops; and no matter whether laws protect
them unto the harvest or not, we will protect
yon. Providence has given ns the power. We
will not limit its exercise to one State more than
to another!” What divine impartially! Not
only were thette gentle policies confirmed by the
last election, bnt one of its ironical demonstra
tions was to tempt the victorious party to as
sume powers which Interfere with and destroy
tbe self-dependence and spontaneous progress
of the people. The proper functions and
true limits of the State, tbe relations of
Btate to State, and each to the Federal
Government—had they not been ignored be
fore the eleetion for good purposes only? Why
regard them afterward? Go to Florida. She
has taxes at 7 per cent She has no more right
to complain than disorganized Arkansas. Go
to impoverished, breken, despairing, bankrupt
Louisiana. Was her cry beard? Oh, yes! A
thoughtful Fresldent sent a measage leaving it
to OongresB. I was simple enough to think it
a rase. Tbe message came while the Home was
thronged and excited by the trial of the “Christ
ian statesmen” of the credit Mobilier.
THE OOOD OEM. BUTLEB
moved to refer it to tbe Judiciary.. What right
bad I to interfere and move that it lay on the
table, to be takon np at any time, with a view
to relieve the State ? I said then wbat seems
now a waste of prophecy—that there wonld be
no action, and that “non-action wonld perpet-
nato tho nsnrpation.” Perhaps I was rash in
treating in that way so good a measage. Trne,
the Senate Committee itself had denounced the
wrong and gave some hops to the oppressed;
bnt had not the election said in advanco to tbe
oppressors: “Lay on the mailed hand. It is
only the months of tbe Mississippi which yon
smother!” This was the olimax of irony.
Georgia is tho onlv one of tbe States once in
rebellion which la free from theso enlightened
policies. How was she freed? A French writer,
describing tbe filthiness of tho Calmucki, says
tl-ut Lfttr thi ;r dcpartr.ro from a camp tho ver
min wore so thick on the dead leaves that the
leaves walked off of themselves. The noblo
Gov. Bollock walked off in imitation of theso
sagacious and attached friends of the soldier.
Is there no other pretext for tho continnanco of
theso policies ixcept the sinister approval of
the people last fall? Ah, yes; there is not yet
a recognized civil equality. Tho black is supe
rior, and there is now impending a fierce war
between master and ex slavo to regain tbe equal
ity of tbe former. Bnt the longlh of this irony
con no farther go. I doubt were the eleetion to
come off to-day if the result of last year wonld
ecane. Therefore, if we wonld reverse this ver
dict of last year and harmonize onr best inten
tions with those of the good rnler, we ought to
tarn away from Sontbern wrongs to their source
at tbe Capitol. We ahonld train onr gnns on
the White Honse; and make war for the su
premacy of oivil rale against military craft and
force.
Let ns go back to the alphabet of civil liberty
and reproduce its rudiments. We should labor
to disperse, not concentrate power. Throngh
many co-ordinate organisms we wonld restore
lost right and regain mntilaied liberties. This
lesson comes home to ns In New York in no
ironic way. By the same ret.son with which we
dony to Washington tbe power to overthrow
Government in Lonlaiana we deny to Albany
tho right to lcgislora for the enslavement of
New York oity.
Cholera and Limestone Water.
A correspondent of the Lonisville Courier-
Journal says
If it be trne that the remote cause of
cholera is atmospherical, then comes the vital,
all-important question, wbat is the most gener-
-5 - ' We
used as a beverage or drink. This disease that
defies climate, and season seems to shrink from
granite countries, or from local ities where cistern
water is exclusively drank. Upon this propo
sition we invite the closest scrutiny of all; for
if this proposition be acknowledged, as it most
be eventually, then this terrible sconrge is at
once robbed of its terrors, and the lives of mil
lions will be saved.
Trace the cholera from the banks of the Gan
ges to the Equator, and yon find it has never
E re vailed as an epidemic in a granite country,
at in calcareous or limestone districts, or
where the water contains organic matter.
I will mention a few facta which show clearly
that cholera is developed by the character of the
water used as a drink. In 1833 the beautiful
city of Lexington, situated in the Bine-grass re
gion—the most fertile portion of Kentucky—
was first visited by Asiatic cholera. It swept
throngh that city as a whirlwind. The Angel
of Death seemed to hover over the doomed city
for days and weeks, claiming all as its victims,
lint two families escaped the disease—Dr. Ben
jamin Dudley and Dr. James Bush’s. These
were the only families in the city who used
cistern water as a drink. Cisterns were then
almost unknown. The qnick perception of
Dr. Dudley had detected the fact that persons
using freestone or cistern water were exempted
from calcareous affections, viz: stone and cacnlt.
It was to protect themselves and families from
then terrible sequels of limestone water that
their cisterns were constructed—not against
cholera, for none knew of its coming.
Now, if this he merely a coincident, that bnt
two families of a population of some twelve
thousand shonld escape and those two only using
cistern water, then it is a coincident strongly re
sembling a fact on fixed principles.
was exclusively used; and there is scarcely a
plantation on that river, where cistern water
was not used, that the disease has not existed
as an epidemic.
Again, every case of cholera which has oc
curred in Natchez, prior to and since 1855,
could be traced directly to the use of water ob
tained from springs gashing oat throngh corne
lian pebbles as clear as chrystal and cold as ice,
at the base of the bluff or river bank. In 1855
the cisterns became exhausted by the drought,
the citizens were forced to use river or spnng
water and the cholera broke out in a most
malignant form agaip. The town of Thi-
bonxTillc, situated on tbe Bayou Plaqnemine,
in Louisiana, is divided nearly equally by a
small bayou. One portion of the town is occnpied
by Americans, who use exclusively cistern water;
the other portion by a French population who
have no easterns, bnt rely on wells for water to
drink. In 1849 the French portion of the town
was nearly destroyed by cholera, and not a doz
en cases occurred on the American side of the
bayou.
\Ve now qnote from Dr. Watson, of London,
perhaps the most able and reliable physician
Bring. He says: “Some striking facts have
been collected by Dr. Snow, which warrant the
presumption that a most fearful outbreak of
cholera in Joho was attributed to the water of a
certain pump contaminated from a neighboring
sewer. A remarkable converse fact has been
reported by Mr. Lawrence. Bethlehem Hospital
and an asylnm for children called the House of
Occupation stand near each other on an open
space of ground containing fourteen acres, ly
ing in the parish of SL George, Southwark.
The Governors of these institutions being dis
satisfied with the water then supplied, sank,
thirty years ago, artesian wells on the premises.
Water’ from these wtlls is exclusively used in
these institutions, which number between them
about seven hundred inmates. There has not
been a single case of cholera in the hospital or
hou-c of occupation in any of the three epi
demics, although the disease has prevailed ex
tensively in the parish and in the streets in
their immediate vicinity.” I might continue to
multiply facts without number but we think it
unnecessary.
