UTT151CFAILURE OF BADI<
CAL HKCONSTKUOTION.
The Testimony oflts Friends.
Tho New York Times makes this hon
est confession of tho utter failuro of the
reconstruction policy of tho Radical
party s "Thoro is,” it says," a wide-
prtai'i impatience with tho working of
iho system now to bo discarded. It is
looked upon as a failure. It has not se
cured peace. It has net insured ade
quate protection of tho blacks, nor fos
tered friendly relations between them
and tho whiles. It has not promoted
thopr.aponty of tho South.”
And the New York Tribune supplements
this confession of tho Times, by tha fol
lowing ciuphntio utterance:
As a race iho negroes aro idle, ignorant,
and vie.onn. They neither loam nor
save. They wore fond of their books in
the first novelty of froedom, bat they
% oars for tliom no longer. They were ea
ger to get their liltlo farms, bnt thoy
have let ihem tall to rnin. Why should
a nun go to school, asks the usual type of
Booth Carolina froodman, when It is so
much nicer to go to the Legislature or
get elected jnstleo of tho peaoe ? Why
should » man work when he oan make a
living by stealing chickens, and sit on tho
fence for amusement? Lot ns face the
tralh. Our Southern policy has not only
been a curse to the whites, but it has been
o curse to the freed people for whose benefit
it was adopted. It has not made them
good otttsenv. It has not taught them
l-.ow to use the ballot. It has introduced
among them a demoralization more dan
gerous to the oonntry than the vlolonce
of the White League, for no Kepnbhoan
government can stand which is not fonnd-
id npon the suffrages of tho virtuous and
intelligent.
We of tho South havo said this timo
and again, and proved it by evidence
that has convinced everybody bnt the
wilfully blind or ntterly wicked. For
doing so wo have been denounced and
reviled as liars, murderers, bandits and
semi Jsiwkv-ians by tho Times, tho Tri
bune and hundreds of oiitce- papers and
speakers all over tho countrv and onr
people forced to submit at.yfho point of
tho bayonet to tho policy 'Jiat has borne
such fruits. We one#thought the South
would ho compelled to await tho impar
tial verdw; of history for a fall vindica
tion of her good name and conduct, bnt
here aro her enemies voluntarily com
ing forward and doing it for her.
The Louisiana Commission.
Tho Louisiana “Commission” had a
long talk with the business representa
tives of New Orleans on Monday, the
result of which is given in the press dis
patches in this edition. The Commission
complained ''that -Ley eould not find Lou
isiana."—that is tiwPsay, they could not
find anybody whom they considered duly
and solely authorized to represent tho
State politically. They went on to re
mark that they fonnd two Governors
two Legislatures and two eets of Coarts
neither of whom, in their judgment, were
authorized to epeak for the State.
Is it possible that this Commission
bad to travel 1,800 miles to eatisfy them,
selves of the existence of a question of
disputed (accession in Louisiana ? Most
people have been aware of this circnm
stance for a long timo, and have supposed
that Hayes appointed this Commission
on account of it. Had there been bnt
one set of claimants for these fnnetiens,
it is pretty certsin there would have
been no pretext at all for the appoint
ment of this extra legal body, to inqniro
into the circumstances, with power (con
ferred by nobody with any authority to
confer it) to reward and to pnnish in sap
port of their unwarrantable interference.
The commission insisted, as the grand
preliminary step, that tho two Legisla
tares should first compose thoir differen
ces and organize as ono body. That
counsel, addressed as it was, to the friends
of Nicho'.Is, was tantamount to a sagges
tion that they should gointoa comprom
ise with an illegal, nsnrping body, organ
izod in defiance of the will of tbc people
and tho verdict of tho polls, and it was
very proporly refused by tho representa
tives of Nicholla.
Tho Nicholls Legislature is composed
of Senators and Representatives duly
elected, and it is open to all of tho came
character and qualifications, now acting
in the Packard concern, with the object
of foisting an administration defeated by
7000 votes in tho State- Tho Nicholls
government cannot go into chaffering
with this lawless usurpation fora consol
idation and compromise. Nor can they
permit anybody olso to do it for them.
All thoy oak is that the Federal Gov
ernment shall tako and keep hands off of
Louisiana, as they do of other States, and
permit her pooplo to adjust their own
internal concerns; and this Hayes agreed
to do. What Faelard demands is that
tho Federal Government shall perpetuate
its lawless interference and put him into
power by forco of arms. He insists npon
tho perpetuation of nbnses out of which
all the disorders now existing in Louisiana
havo arisen, and from which sho never
can escape until sho is allowed tho rights
of Bclf-governmcnt.
Tho dispatch says that this interview
ended tho Commission’s attempt to com
promise; but thoy may try a reorganiza
tion of tho Legislatnro on tho basis of
the original parish returns. It strikes
as as most probable that Iho Commission
will end in confessed failure, and iho
question squarely confront Hayes again,
whether he will conform to his pledges
and remit tho Louisianians to the solu
tion of their own difficulties, in tho oxor.
cise of tho fundamental right of self-
govornmont, or nndortako to holster up
this Packard fraud and usurpation still

Two difficulties confront him, which
ever horn of tho dilemma be may take.
If ho complies with his agreement he
must meet the glowering countenances

raising a howl of indignation throughout
tho North and West; but if ho don’t, tho
Democratic Honso of Representatives will
tie his hands by refusing all army ap
propriations whatever.

capital article on the convention question.
We
THE (3EOICUIA FKESS.
An Ancient Hierarchy.
The rapidly failing health of the present
reigning Pontiff, invests wilh new in
terest pll the antocedont history and pre
sent snrronndings of the Papal See. The
institution runs far back through the dim
vistas of the past, and is almoBt coeval
with the advont of onr Lord and Saviour.
As early as the year A. D-. 42, accord
ing to Catholic authorities, St. Peter, the
first Pope, began his reign, and, savo a
few brief interregnums, an unbroken sno*
cession has been Droserved ever since.
Wo havo taken the pains to count tho
number of Popes as recorded, and find
that commencing with St. Peter and end
ing with tho accession of Pins IX., tho
present incumbent, in 1S4G, a period of
1S02 years, no less than two hundred and
sixty-one sovereigns have ruled tho spirit
ual empire of tho Romish Church, exer
cising kingly temporal dignity and au
thority also for the greater portion of
that timo. The average reign of theso
menarchs was a little less than seven
years.
Tho temporal dominions of the Pope
nntil recently, embraced an area of about
fifteen thousand square miies in central
Italy, including several provinces, and a
population exceeding three millions.
They dato back to the days of Constan
tine, and soem to have been donated to
tho Pope by the voluntary consent of tho
pooplo who became his subjects, and oth
er Catholic nations, Tho soil of tho lit
tle kingdom is very rich and its natural
resources considerable. Daring tho
reign .of tho present Pontiff, hotvover,
a large portion of tho Papal possessions
were annexed to the kingdom of Sardin
ia in I860 by their own plebiscite, and
Victor Emanuel is now thoir liege sover
eign. Tho present temporal authority
of the Pope, therefore, is limited to the
city of Rome and a small scope of adja
cent territerv.
Savs tho Atlanta Constitution : "The
editors of the Macon Tzleobafb asd

rather the assertion, bnt onr columns
completely disprovo yonr statement. If
yon would drop yonr mask, and for once
como out squarely on one side or tho
other, it would be the most refreshing
sensation yonr readers havo ever expe
rienced.
It is reported in Atlanta that "Aliunde”
Joe Bradley will hold tho May term of
the Federal Circuit Court, in that city.
We find tho following in tho Constilu
tionol Sunday, which paper, by the way,
only reached U3 yesterday morning.
It was said yesterday that Attorney-
General Ely had prepared an opinion on
tho question between the lessees of the
convicts nnd tho Marietta and North
Georgia railroad
It was impossible to get tho text of the
decision, but wo havo good reason for
saying that it
IS AGAINST THE RAILROAD.
The Attorney-General will hold that
unless the two hnndred and fifty convicts
can bo nsed on tho railroad, they must
revert to the lessees; in other words,
that tho act of tho Legislatnro will not
allow tho convicts to bo hired out for the
benefit of tho road. This decision will
virtually deprivo tho road of the benefit
of tho act, as the management is unable
to put thorn to work upon the road.
Tna PRICK OP CONVICTS RISING.
In this connection it may be stated
that General Phillips has had an offer of
$G0 apieco per annum for fifty of the con
victs, and could easily place ISO nt those
rates. This wonld give the road an in-
como of $730 a month, which would ena-
blo it to properly work the other hundred
on tho road-bed and lay up a surplus.
This income it has lost thns far by delay,
and will loso permanently if Mr. Ely’s de
cision is as it is reported
Tho offer of $G0 a year for fifty convicts
comes from General Gordon, who is one
of tho lessees. It will he remarked when
this offer is contrasted with tho pitifal
111 a year that tho State is receiving for
each of its cunvicts, that the price has
either risen vory rapidly or that the State
made a bad trade in its general lease. It
has been a matter of comment that when
a common negro laborer commands $120
n year for Iris sctviccs, that the State
convicts giving one-third more service
than a freo negro conld only he made to
bring $11 a head,
But tho State mado even a worse tiado
than this. In the lease
CONCLUDED FOR THIRTY YEARS,
twelve months since, the State agreed to
tako $23,000 a year for the wholo forte
of convicts. It is probable that by 1S79,
when the lease begins, thero . will not ho
less than two thousand convicts at work,
with the number steadily swelling. This
immense forco will ho permanently
lease'd for $23,000 a year.
This increaso is tho forco of convicts
has been something icmarkable. Four
years ago thero were only 330 in tho pen
itentiary. When Captain Nelms took
charge thero were about 1,150, tinea
Captain Nelms has been in charge (hard
ly three months), thero has been an in
crease of over sixty. At this rato of in
creaso it will not bo long before tho num
her has run over 2,000.

Blackberries a Profitable Crop for
which deserves general circulation,
make room for the following extract from
it with our hearty indorsement:
The gigantic evil of the d*y is "State
aid," and there is no way of eradicating
this vicious principle from the legislation
of the State, except by following the ex
ample of Texas, Tennessee and Alabama,
and placing an aLsolate prohibition in
the constitution. At tho session of the
Legislature, berore the last, new bonds
amounting to several hnndred thousand
dollars were issued to pay tho deferred
interest on State aid bonds, and
the last session another hatch
more than two millions of six per
cent, bonds was authorized to be
issued in exchange for the indorsed^
per cent, bonds of the Macon and Bruns
wick, the North and Soath and the Chat
tanooga railroads, the interest on which
most be paid by increased taxation.
Gen. Colquitt tells us that "in analyzing
the present State liabilities, which
amount to the sum of $10,743,847,1 find
two-thirds of the amount, or $0,798,307,
was incurred by reason of State aid,
leaving only $3,917,450 as the amount of
debt growing cut of other sources,” and
be goes on to tell us farther that not a
tingle road "that the State has encour
aged by her indorsement has been suc
cessful a3 an investment.” And yet in
the very face of this unfortunate expert
ence wo find that the late Legislature
recognized the same principle of State
aid to railroads, by appropriating out of
tho proceeds of tho convict labor of the
State, some indefinite amount ranging
probably from sixty to eighty thousand
dollars, in aid of another railroad corpo
ration.
Tnis abuse of the credit of tho State—
this waste of publio money must be
stopped by a prohibitory clause in tbe
constitution, or onr taxes will become un
endurable, and finally result in hopeless
bankruptcy. We must place in the con
stitution safe guards to protect us from
that great engine of fraud and corrupt
tion—the lobby—a modern excrescence
which has insiduously fastened itself on
the body politic and whoso balefnl infia-
ence commencing in tho national mo-
tropoinis felt in every Slate in the
Union.
I desire witli us muuii brevity as pos
sible, and without elaboration to advert
to como of tho defects of tho constitution,
and to point ont what I conccivo to bo
appropriate remedies.
Wo need a convention in the first place
to place a limit in the constitution on tho
expenses of tho government.
We need a Convention to restrict tho
money borrowing power of the Legisla
ture, and of the municipal government of
every town nnd city in the State, and to
prohibit Stale, county or city aid to nny
railroad, or any other corporation
Wo need a Convention to reduce the
fast yon may learn who did recommend
Msjor Smyth. Was it not Colonel Al
ston who withdrew in his favor? If it
he a sin to favor Major Smyth’s appoint
ment, whose sin is it, that of Colonel Al
ston, who withdrew in his favor, or Mr.
Hill, who opposed Colonel Alston?
Should not your inquiry rather have been
thus: Does not the withdrawal of Colonel
Alston in favor of Major Smyth mean
that he “prefers a Radical and carpet
bagger to a native and Democrat?”
A short time since this same Baltimore
Sun published a commnnicition from
Washington city, charging Ex-Governor
Joseph E. Brown and Senator Hill with
having procured an indictment against
Governor Bullock in order to make him
flee the State for fear he might make
damaging disclosures concerning them
in relation to the Scate road lease, when
of | every well-informed citizen of the State
knows that Bullock’s flight was several
months beforo any indictment waa ever
found against him. This was ceitainly
a vile and malicious attack on Governor
Brown nnd Senator Hill, without a speck
of truth in it.
The question suggests itself, who is
the author of this special dispatch and
communication which you copy from the
Baltimore Sun. Perhaps it was tho same
party who telegraphed from Washington
City to some one in Atlanta, soon after
the inauguration of President Hayes,
when there was a great rush for office,
that Mr. Hill had recommended for the
position of Marshal cf Georgia Foster
Blodgett, another damnable falsehood,
ns has been yxoven.
I am not the apologist for Mr. Hill nor
tbe defendant for Governor Brown, but
I wish to say about this matter what you
say to tho Valdosta Times about the
charge that you favored a whipping post
for negroes and poor whites—‘Bo just.”

lowing, which is printed in that paper of

After a few minutes’ pause and some
vigorous puffs of hia after dinner cigar.
General Butler raid: "Would you like to
hear from tho Bible a definition of this
Louisiana Commission business?” Lay
ing down his cigar tho General took from
a small book case near hia desk an edi
tion of the Bible, and, after fumbling
over it for some time, read, with an inde
scribably humorous facial expression,
the following:
And unto tho angel of tho church of
tho Lacdiccans write: These things

to tho administration in Parson Now-
liomcstead to $1,000 in real estate, nnd 1 nan’s church.” He continued, “you road
$300 in personal propeity. This is a fair
compromise between extreme opinions,
and in my opinion just to both tho debtor
and creditor. No women and children
should bo turned out of house and home
without a shelter at tho will of an inex
orable creditor, and no bankrupt of largo
property should ho permitted to retain
his broad acres and his hoarded wealth
at tho exponso of his creditors, but
should bo mado to accommodate himself
to hia reduced condition in life.
We need a convention to divest the
Governor of the immense patronage
which the appointing power gives to
him,
Wo need a convention to reduce tho

Last year a portion of North Carolina,

berries to Chicago, a firm in that city
having offered fifteen cents per pound for
them in nny quantity. It cost ono cent a

people from seven to twelve cents a pound
for them. The little town of Salem, with
scarcely over 2.000 inhabitants, shipped
daring three years over three millions of
pounds of dried blackberries, for which
it received $430,000, or nearly half a mil
lion dollars, equal to nino thousand bales
of cotton at ten cents per pound.
The crop is, of course, abundant—al
most infinite. The old fields literally
swarm with tho busy pickers during the
season. Frequently whole families turn
out at early dawn and pick blackberries

“But,” said I, “how about organizing
the next House on the administration

General Butler laughed a long, loud,
hearty laugh.
“Then yon havo little faith in the
movement to make General Garfield or
some other administration leader, Speak

r 3aid Butler—“We shall see. General
Garfield is a worthy gentleman. He
would grace any position, and especially

They had such a ‘hell-fired’ majority out

Going hack to the Louisiana contest
General Butler said: "President Hayes
evidently does not know what manner of
man Packard is. Hu had better send for
him and see how he compares with Hamp

"I think he did. He is a very strong

A few weeks ago the children attend
ing a school kept by a priest at Capna,
Italy, were left to themselves a few min
utes, and one of them allowed a favorite
canary of tho in aster’s to escape from its
cage. When the latter returned ha do-
manded the name of the culprit, and, on
dismissing the other children to their
dinner, desired him to stay behind, and
go down on his knees as a further pun
ishment. The other children, as they
passed the butcher's shop of their school
fellow’s father, explained why he wouldn’t
lie heme to dinner, and presently his
mother went to intercede for him. When
she made her way into the room she found
the poor little fellow lying dead, cruci
fied on a table, his feet being cut off be
cause the table was not long enough.
When her husband came be discovered

Pina IX. is a native of Sinigaglia, and
was born May 14, 1792. Ho will soon,
therefore, be S3 years of age. Upon the
death of Gregory XYI. he was chosen
Pope in June, 184G, and has reigned the
unusually long period of thirty years.
Ho began his Pontifical career with
many liberal reforms, and proved a sa
gacious and generous benefactor to the
people over whom he ruled.
And for several years no sovereign was
ever more generally beloved and revered.
But the revolutionary spirit of ISIS sowed
tho seeds of discord among his subjects,
and very soon, forgetful of past favors,
they rose in rebellion, and overthrowing
the temporal, authority of their Spiritual
Head, made a prisoner of him in his own
palace. From thence His Holiness con
trived to escape, and took refuge in
Gaeta.
Afterwards the French, espousing the
cause of the fugitive Pontiff, sent an
armed force against his refractory sub
jects, and having forced the city of Rome
to capitulate, reinstated their sovereign
upon the throne in April, 1830.
For the next nine years, enjoying the
French protectorate, c^^srativo tran
quillity was preserved ^Kome. Then,
however, ensued tho I Indian war, the re
tie gross cost oto cent per ponnd for
freights, two cents for drying, and Bay
two cents for the merchant’s profits, and
we have the not revenue of a bushel of
berries to the picker, and fixed at
$1 20. A. child can easily pick a bushel a
day. A laborer with five or six children,
or a widow with a lot of bairns, will find
it a perfect Godsend to have them each
bringing in a revenue of $1 20 a day.
The merchants in Salem had unlimited
orders for the berries, and conld have
sold ten times the quantity they were able
to procure. The berries are used for pies,
for eating and for distilling purposes.
They are exported regularly to Europe;
and especially to Germany, where they
aro considered a great luxury.
This trade gave employment to a largo
nnmber of people in North Carolina dur.
ing the season last year. Men, women
and children support themselves by it.
Tho section about Augusta is famous
for its blackberries and we see no reason
why the trade could not be made as pro
fitable here as in North Carolina.
The Covington Enterprise reports the
elopement in that connty, last Monday
night, of M iss Medora Dollar who left

drove to Covington, and there look the

believe ono word of the 1! n Hill part c f
the story.
Tee Fame special staled that Colonel
A. withdrew bi3 application in favor of
the present Marshal, Major Smyth. This
much is probably true, as the author of
the dispatch seemed to sympathize with
Colonel Alston, and to be in opposition to
Mr. Hill. Taking the dispatch os true,
the President did not inform Colonel
Alston that Ben Hill preferred Major
Smith, and the only recommendation he
received in tho dispatch was from Colonel
Alston. After vourinserlion of the "spe
cial,” oE which the foregoing is in part
the substance, you ask, "Does this mean
that Mr. Hill prefers a Radical and carpet
bagger, in such an important office for
Georgia, to a native and Democrat, or
•did his opposition spring from personal
motives ft
Did you through mistake apply the
first portion of the interrogatory to Mr.
Hill? or did you mean to apply it to Col
onel Alston? The idea which yon seem
to have, that Mr. Hill preferred a Radical
and carpet-bagger to a native and Demo
crat, wa3certainly irroneons. Youcould
not have derived such an idea from the
dispatch, and there was no other author
ity for it. Now, Mr. Editor, admitting,
for argument sake, that Mr. Hill did
oppose the appointment of Colonel Al
ston, by -no rule of logic known tome
could the opposition of Mr. Hill to Col
onel Alston mean that he favored the ap
pointment of Major Smyth. Did Mr.
Hill say one word about Major Smyth?
In the same issue of your paper the mid
night dispatches stated that Mr. Hill
favored the appointment of Colonel Fitz-
an abundance of the bride’s name about I eimmons or some other. I commend tbc
the house. I special dispatch to yonr careful perusal,
Governor Hampton's Position.
The Charleston Hews and Courier re
marking npen Hampton’s speech in Co
lambia, says:
Governor Hampton, speaking as i
Democrat to Democrats, did fall jnslioc
to President Hsyes. In Washington he
made no entangling engagements, and
offered nothing in compensation for an
act whioh was required of the President,
not by Soath Carolina, but by thb
Constitution. But in Columbia, when
the President had vindicated the om-
fidence reposed in him, Governor
Hampton conld say what he
thought, without exposing himself or the
President to the charge that there had
been any bargain between them. In his
Epeech he Eaid that cs long as tho Presi
dent follows out, in good faith, tbe pol
icy indicated in his inaugural, as long as
he does equal justice to all sections of
the country, and sees that tho laws are
enforced in Massachusetts a3 in South
Carolina, in Louisiana 03 in Ohio, as long
as he is a constitutional President, recog
nizing no party, race or section, so long
trill Governor Hampton support him.
More than this. Governor Hampton said:
“I have not fought this fight in South
Carolina now, to Jet any party affiliations
keep me from anything that will promote
the good of South Carolina.” There is a
world of meaning in these words, spoken
by such a man and on such an occasion.
They open a new political vista, aa Demo
crats, to tbe Democracy of the State.
We must content ourselves, however, at
this moment, with declaring ourselves in
full accord with Governor Hampton in
this as in all else that he has said.

of the only medal given to porous plasters, may
be learned, when tho great popularilyof the
old kind of porou9 plasters is called to mind.*nd
it is known that the four iurors who gave their
decision in favor of Benson’s Capcioe Piaster,
were men having a world-wide reputation for
being great and learned physicians, and that
they carefully tested Benson's Capcir.o Porous
Plaster, with many others, and bocamo thor
oughly convinced ot it3 great superiority over
them, and of its wonderful pain-relieving and
strengthening qualities, for rheumatism, larao
and weak back, spinal and hip diseases, sciatica,
lumbago, painful sprains and bruises, and all
local aches and pains, it is surely tho best remo*

What Might Have Been Heard.
Almost any day during the Centennial, a knot
physicians might have been seen gathered
around the elegant elass case, standing in the
mam building, in which Benson’s Caprine Po
rous Plaster was exhibited, discussing its merits
and superiority over other porous piasters, and
the listener might have heard words of warm
praise fall from their lips as they spoke of the
uniem of caprine with India rubber, and the rev
olution it would likely effect in remedies for dis
eases treated externally, such as rheumatism,
lame and weak back, spinal and kidney disease,
sciatic*, lumbago, sprains and bruise*, and all
aches and pains of a local natufo. With these
opinions the Centennial jurors who were »l«o
learned physicians, were in perfect accord, ami
awarded Benson's Caprine Plaster the only u.ed-
al given to porous plasters. Sold everwhere.
