ATJQ-TJSTA, QA,: Sunday Morning, August 29, 1875. Supplies of Ammunition—A False Alarm. -The Philadelphia Times, one of our most valued exchanges, thus speaks in a recent issue: The Augusta Constitutionalist and the Memphis Appeal are two Southern journals which aro anxious to supply their enemies with ammunition to bo used against them. They are, or pretend to be, very indignant because the invitation of the Winnebago Agricultural Society to Jefferson Davis was withdrawn. The Oonsitutiona t.is r breaks out into a fierce attack upon all Northern people becauso of the “Indignity” offered Davis, and with General Preston mournfully howls over the “degradation” of tho South. The Appeal is scarcely less violent. Of course every third-term organ in the country rejoices, and Seuator Mor ton has material for a half-dozen cam paign speeches. One good tiling will re sult, however, if their advice to their con stituents to trade no more with the West be taken—Georgia and Tennessee may go into hog-raising and corn-growing. It is one of the shames of their people to-day that they have to go to these “Winnebago savages,” as they aro called, to get their bacon and meal. We have, from time to time, been accused of “ furnishing ammunition to the enemy but the sequel lias always proved that the enemy aforesaid got about as little comfort from tho afore said ammunition as the devil gets from holy water. Beforo we conclude, we shall undertake to show, from the Times itself, that this statement is as true now as it was on former occasions. Before making such an attempt, we must correct our contemporary on an other point. We did not “break out into a fierce attack on all Northern peo ple becauso of the indignity offered Jefferson Davis.” On the contrary. We expressed ourselves with as much vigor as possible against certain hypo critical classes in the North, whose rep resentative is the Winnebago savage. To have done otherwise would have been contrary to nature, and, in writ ing as we did, many other papers be sides the Memphis Appeal and tho Constitutionalist were in common ac cord, although it is true they were something like second fiddles in the or chestra. If, as the Times says, “ one good thing will result ” should our advice be taken, viz: tho commercial independ ence of Georgia and the South, then have we “ howled ” to some purpose, and our fellow-countrymen of this sec tion owe us a vote of thanks. With their approbation, in the performance of such a prodigy, we can endure the taunts of an adversary, who, unwitting ly, perhaps, winds up his rebuke by paying us a compliment of the highest character. Wo should feel content to leave the world and its hardships, to lay down that life which has been often to us a grievous burden and a thank less one, too, if the people of the South, by reason of any advice from us, emerg ed from the shame of depending upon Winnebago or other savages for bacon and meal. But, let us see how much “ammuni tion” we have furnished Senator Mor ton. In the very issue of the Times containing this violent assumption we read as follows : Washington, August 25.—Information has been received here direct from the Re publican councils of Ohio, explaining tho su iden change of tho Republican leaders from the currency to tho school issue. It was done by the earnest advice of Senator Morton, who was mortified at the listloss ness of the Buckeyo people about his blood y-shirt and currency speech. He at once decided that to war against the Demo cratic inflation policy, as was intended by General Hayes and his friends, would lose the State by tons of thousands, and he earnestly urged that the whole contest shou'd be hazarded upon a revival of Know- Nothingism and tho school question. He insisted that unless some new issue could be sprung upon tho people of Ohio that would divert them from the load of Grant, Delano, and tho fruits of Republican rule generally, tho contest was a hopeless one. It was Anally decided that the campaign should thereafter be conducted solely on the religious issue, leaving the Commercial and tho Liberals, who revolted against inflation, to flounder out as best they could, and since then'.all the speakers have followed out the Morton programme. A preconcerted attack on tho new issue staitled tho friends of Allen, but as it be comes apparent that it is only a desperate device of desperate leaders, who would in voke religious prejudices to save a con demned party, the issue is likely to recoil upon those who invented it, and prove a plague upon Hayes. Morton confesses that Republican Ohio cannot be carried on tho records of Republican administration, and ho has led the party after false gods in the hope of saving it from tho consequences of Its own acts. It is the judgment of the most dispassionate Allen leaders, express ed within the last few days, that the aban donment of the currency issue by the Re publicans will give the State to Allen by a decided majority. Had the been a true prophet, and had the Constitutionalist really given aid and comfort to the enemy, how does it happen that Morton “mortified at the listlessness of the Buckeye people about his bloody shirt and currency speech, cowers before Al en and his following and, despair ing of a victory in the open field, makes his contest in the slums and labyrinths of a Know Nothing revival? Why did the great Morton, with so much “ammunition” at hand, retire from the field of his choice and seek other issues than Southern ones, and especially those which are founded upon religious intolerance and bigotry? The truth is, the Republican party is welcome to all the “ammunition” it can get from the Constitutionalist. We would be only too glad if the cam paign of 1876 should be fought out squarely upon the true and living is sues which we have, from time to time, presented, and upon which are founded the hopes of free government in Amer ica. We have no fears of a Democratic triumph if the true issues of the com ing Presidential campaign are boldly and honestly presented to the masses for a decision. But, it has been the misfortune of our country that the Democracy themselves have fallen into the hands of blind leaders and have abandoned attacks upon the weak points of the enemy’s line, only to dash themselves to pieces upon his strong hold. That no such errors of judg ment in future shall be committed, we sincerely trust. But if, either at the North or South, the principles we have over contended for are to be called “bowlings” and met with the clap-trap of expediency mongers, the satisfaction at least exists that we refused to be a party to an abasing policy and that the greatest glory of an upright spirit is to “wage contention with tho world’s de cay.” _______ The Revival of “Sam.”—Radicalism Drifting Into Know-Notliingisin. In spite of the previous declaration of Republican journals apd orators that the currency question was the mightiest issue in Ohio; and that uncle William Allen was doomed to be slaughtered by hard money theorists— the most audacious, as he Is the most able, leader of the Republicans, Seua tor Morton, has changed tho whole tune and bundled up his prize of gold and silver in that “bloody shirt,” which did not prove a very paroxys mal banner. Perceiving that Allen and his doctrines were popular with the people of Ohio, because they did not teach that the many must of necessity bo tho perpetual serfs of the few, the* wily Morton injects a religious cle ment into the canvass and, in place of an “ensanguined undergarment,” lugs out tho old Kuow-Notliing dark lanteri which he hopes wiii prove a bugaboo of fiercer and more formidable dimen sions. And in the wake of Morton the Radical presses and speakers follow like a pack of deep-mouthed hounds. What will come of the desperate “swapping of horses while crossing a stream” we must wait and see ; but in is fair to conjecture that tho needy and betrayod people of Ohio, who did non grow enthuiastic over Morton's Ku- Klux Hag will not, when remembering their unproductive property and oner ous taxes, become frightened at a dis eased Congressman’s caricature of the Pope of Rome. We find this Know-Nothing dodge cropping out everywhere, and its chief fuglemen aro men who hate the South and tho Democracy with an undying intensity. They wero the old Aboli tionists, the war men, the negro equal ity freedom-shriekers, and “organizers of hell in the South.” Desperate and ungodly, reckless and criminal must they be to supplement the horrors they have already brought upon tho country by this beastly design of in flaming religious prejudice. Upon this point the Baltimore Gazette well says: “There is nothing in the annals of tho old Know-Nothing party to inspire an attempt at its revivification. Its mem ory is a stench. Its purposes were un masked, its sentiments utterly repu diated, its organization trampled out of sight and obliterated. No excuse oi pretext is afforded for starting the par ty anew' now. It is simply a movement of unscrupulous and beaten Radicalism to divert the Democracy from the real issues of the day in order to evade the consequences of years of flagrant mis rule which aro about to bo heaped upon it. It is a device whoso stupidity is only equaled by its meanness. It is an attempt to evade public opinion by secrecy; a deliberate effort to stir up sectarian strife; to engender bitterness among friends and neighbors. It is an appeal to the prejudiced, tho bigoted and the ignorant; a bid for the support of the depraved and the vicious; an in vitation to mob law and violence. It is the last ditch of Radicalism.” In Maryland tho Radical Custom Ilouse ring were, under secret instruc tions from Washington, the first orga nizers of tho new Know Nothing fac tion. Of them and their scheme the Gazette thus speaks: The Custom House patriots and the noisy fellows whoso names adorned tho criminal and police records became offensively prominent, and the few good men were overslaughed and intimidated. The socie ties, aside from the objection to their secrecy, could not command the popular confidence. Radicalism, even under so seductive a name as •‘Potato Bugs,” as the Know Nothings called themselves, would not smell sweet. It was tho samo old crowd after all, only under another name, and people wore not slow in finding it out. We believe the “Bugs” are still striving to get candidates in order to get tho work cut and dried for the forthcoming Radical Con vention. Wo hopo they may succeed. But the ruse won’t win. The peoplo are going to exterminate Radicalism under whatever guise it presents itself, and if tho Demo crats of Maryland do their duty both It and Know-Nothingism will be buried in the samo grave in November. The drift of Radical sentiment in New York and other State3 toward Know- Nothingisra as manifest in such representa tive journals as Harpers’ Weekly and New York Times indicates unmistakably anew line of policy by the Radical leaders for the campaign of 1876. The elections this year will serve as a feeler. Wo much mistake if the results in Maryland and elsewhere are not! such as to give the ghouls of Know- Nothingism their final quietus. It will be seen from these presenta tions of fact that we are no mere al armists. Amid the general /arore there will be evil-minded men, even in the South, who coming as emissaries of the central authority at Washington, will attempt to disorganize and distract the Democracy of this section as well as of the East and West, with their insidious theories. Let the men of the South, of whatever creed, understand that the revived Know-Knothing pro gramme emanates from their deadliest foes, from that Radi cal sanhedrim whose rule has desolated the land and polluted nearly every well-spring of prosperity and morality. Not to such allies can any true Southern man go even half way, unless ho prefers to glut his prejudices by the surrender of his reason. Never was there a time when men of all creeds at the South should be more tolerant, charitable and prudent. Their Radical arch-enemy is approaching in an old disguise, brushed up for novel uses, and it only needs a firm hand to tear the cloak away and find beneath the false face of Know Nothingism the hideous visage of Morton or some of his leprous kin. Gov. Smith. —The Executive of Geor gia is complimented everywhere for his recent exhibition of “wisdom, justice and moderation.” All honest men will bear watching. It is the rascals who cannot stand it. A Faithful Dog. The Baroness Burdktt-Coutts, who is not less famous for her boundless charity than for her almost boundless wealth, has recently erected a beauti ful monument over the grave of a dog named “Bobby,” whose story is one of the most pathetic in tho annals of time. Here it is : strange story of a dog. Avery singular and interesting occur rence was yesterday brought to light in the Burgh Court, by the hearing of a summons in regard to a dog-tax. Eight and a half years ago, it seems a man named Gray, of whom nothing now is known, except that he was poor, and lived in a quiet way in some obscure part of the town, was buried In Old Greyfriars’ Churchyard. His grave, levelled by tho hand of time, and unmarked by any stone, is now scarcely discernible; but although no human interest would seem to attach to it, the sacred spot has not been wholly disregarded and forgotten. During all these years the dead man’s faithful dog has kept constant watch and guard over the grave—and it was this animal for which the collectors sought to recover the tax. James Brown, tho old curator of the burial ground, remembers Gray’s funeral, and the dog, a Scotch terrier, was, he says, one of the most conspicuous of the mourn ers. The grave was closed in as usual, and next morning“ Bobby,” as the dog is call ed, was found lying on tho new made mound. This was an innovation which old James could not permit, for there was an order at tho gate, stating, in the most in telligible characters, that dogs were not ad mitted. “ Bobby ” was accordingly driven out; but next morning he was there again, and for the second time was discharged. The third morning was cold and wet, and when the old man saw the faithful animal, in spite of all chastisement, still lying shivering on the grave, he took pity on him, and gave him some food. This recog nition of his devotion gave “ Bobby ” the right to make tho Churchyard his homo; and from that time to tho present he has never spent a night away from his mas tei’s tomb. Often in bad weather attempts have been made to keep him within doors, but by dismal howls he has succeeded in making it known that this interference is not agreeable to him, and latterly he has always been allowed his own way. At al most any time during the day he may be seen in or about the churchyard; and no matter how rough the night may be, noth ing can induce him to forsake the hallowed spot, whose identity, despite the irresisti ble obliteration, he has so faithfully pre served. “Bobby” has many friends, and the tax-gathers have by no means proved his enemies. A weekly treat of steaks was long allowed him by Sorgeant Scoar of the Engineers, but for more than six years he has been regularly fed by Mr. Traill, of the restaurant, 6 Greyfriars’ place. He is constant and punctual in his calls, being guided In his mid-day visits by the sound of the time-gun. On the ground of harbor ing the dog, proceedings were taken against Mr. Traill for payment of the tax. The defendant expressed his willingness, could ho claim the dog, to be responsible for the tax; but so long as the dog refused to attach itself to any one, it was impo -Bi ble to fix tho ownership—and the Court, seeing tho peculiar circumstances of the case, dismissed the summons. “Bobby” has long been an object of curiosity to all who have become acquainted with his his tory. His constant appearance in the graveyard has caused many inquiries to be made regarding him, and efforts out of number have been made to get possession of him. The old curator, of course, stands up as the next claimant to Mr. Traill, and yesterday offered to pay the tax him self, rather than liavo “ Bobby “ Grey friars’ Bobby,” to allow him his full name —put out of the way.—[See Scotsman, April 13, 1807. Could human lovo outlast tho affec tion of that devoted animal ? We trow not; for he was faithful when so much human fidelity has an end, beyond the tomb. It is in the presence of such in disputable facts that some of the best of men are inclined to believe that there is an immortality for animals. We do not r etend to pierce the un known ; but there might be a place for “Bobby,” in the other world, without shocking any Christian sense, and it would boa jar to our feelings could we utterly despair of such a dog find ing tho master ho had loved and lost. Against the Grain.—At the Rich mond Va. colored convention tho “men and brethron” voted vehemently against a pending constitutional amendment, making larceny a cause for disfranchisement. This measure they consider aimed especially at the negro race, who aro supposed to do most of tho j Tty thieving in Vii’ginia, aud as one or them remarked : “It is very hard a poor negro cau’t take a few chickens without losing his right to vote.” Sympathising with this out burst, tho New York Express, with whito “tramps” iu view says : It is in deed, very hard to deprive Pompey or C.esar of his old habits of robbing the hen-roost and barn yard, but then it is to be remembered that eternal vigilance against thieving is only tho proper cost for voting and being voted for.” Science.— Mr. Nathan Appleton, of Paris, writes to the Boston Globe to protest against the execution of Jesse Pomeroy, and thinks that his life should be spared in order that he may bo watched and studied in the interest of science. Other people, who have children and do not believo in the se curity of prisons and Roman firmness of Governors, desire him hanged in the interest of morals. They do not object to a scientific hanging, but they want no science that does not include the executioner’s noose. And wo think they are right, and Mr. Appleton wrong. Jesse Pomeroy is a devil. He may “ materialize ” after death ; but he is not a desirable inhabitant of this world. The Great Swim. —During his watery passage from Dover to Calais, Capt. Webb, the champion swimmer, was fre quently encouraged with beef tea, beer, crooked brandy, coffeo, brandy straight, etc., etc. And yet we are told that tem perance men have more nerve and pluck than a high old drinker. It may be that Webb took his brandy to miti gate an excess of water. At all events, frequent potations of the burning fluid made him a hero. Greenbacks. —Because there were not many people attendant upon the De troit convention, the hard money papers crow most lustily. That convention was too much of a gumbo of old hacks from both parties. The men who be lievo in greenbacks, as Bill Allen puts the case, have no money for the tom foolery of conventions. They stay at home and vote, without any “music by the band.” The Pope is rid of his rheumatism. PERSONAL. * Frank Moulton is sailing ov|r the sum mer seas with General Butier ii| the yacht America.
