<l\)t Constitutionalist _ AUGUSTA, GKA-,: Thursday Morning, Sept. 2, 1875. j —, Dealing With Burglars. The great lawyer, Chakles O’Conor, has put it on record that a man whose house is, day or night, invaded by a burglar, need not enter into any metaphysical disquisition, but should, if so inclined, “shoot on the spot,” in a General Dfx-like manner. His own words are these: “No one will enquire whether all the forms or ceremonies were observed which some ancient law yer or modern enactment for that case made and provided may have discreet ly suggested, whatever may be the strict law applied to the case; and whatever exact duty might enjoin, no magistrate will commit the slayers to prison, no grand jury will indict them, nor will any district attorney prosecute or any petit jury convict. If, indeed, any one in this line of official authori ties could be found to act adversely, the next in succession would be apt to repudiate his doings; or if a concur rence of the whole could be imagined, ending in a conviction, it is very certaiu that no Governor would hesitate an in stant in awarding to the accused a safe deliverance by his dispensing power.” This opinion was drawn out by the alarming frequency of burglarious pro ceedings in the North —a “result of the war,” which, by emancipation and en franchisement of negroes,knocked white labor “higher than a kite,” and compell ed thousands of ex-workmen and ex soldiers to steal or starve. The Balti more Sun, while admitting the general premises of Mr. O’Conor, thinks, in a half-hearted way, that a burglaf who has taken the alarm and is attempting to escape might be conscientiously spared a shot on the wing. A good deal depends, we should say, as to whether ho went empty or full-handed; and it is reasonable to suppose that a robber received in that “conscienti ous” manner would not hesitate utter ly to return to the house of such a generous man. The Sun, however, shows that, in some cases, this neglect of shooting may proceed from dis cretion rather than conscience.— It says : “ Burglars seem to have no scruples at all as to using their weap ons while engaged in nefarious acts upon honest people. Asa general rule, they go around expecting to murder honest people if necessary to secure their booty. Sometimes they will re sort to the pistol if disturbed in their rascally practices, and from sheer rage and vindictiveness. The case of Mr. Noe, of New York, who has unfortu nately just died of the wounds inflicted by a burglar, is one of the latest in stances of parleying with a burglar in stead of shooting. Another instance, that of Dr. Hammond, shows that firing is not always safe, for when the Doctor fired upon the burglar, the latter, in furiated at being interfered with in his * business,’ returned the salute, and grazed the Doctor’s forehead with a nistol hall. The most effective remedy lev 1 O AO UUI V\j -J or valuables in a house which can be safely deposited elsewhere. Where this has not been done, or is impracticable, every man must be governed by cir cumstances as to whether he shall fire upon a burglar or not, though if he does fire and kills the criminal, he may be sure that, if he has the approval of his own conscience, he is not likely to be troubled from any other quarter.” The conclusions of the Sun are emi nently wise. Asa general rule, bur glars do not molest poor people ; and people who have valuables concealed or in open display at their houses may be prepared for danger. If there be no confederates among the servants in the house, a good dog—even a terrier—will aid in protecting property, and, in many eftses, spare the tender-hearted the ne cessity of making a target of any wretched man’s body. People in the South, In spite of the demoralization of society by the war, and the war since the war, have no conception, unless from personal observation, of the con stant terror of the rich families of the Northern metropolitan cities. They have drawn upon science for most in genious telegraphic alarms and the like ; but the New York cracksman has also called upon the same source, and now Dr. Hammond, himself a scientist of the first order, finds that the best way to meet a burglar is with an ounce of lead or thirteen buck-shot put “ where they can do most good.” Glass. —Mr. P. F. Nursey contributes an article to Appleton’s Popular Science Monthly on the distinctive era in the history of glass manufacture marked by the invention of M. De la Bastie. From such competent authority we learn that, for 3,500 years, no iadical chabge has been made in this industry. The glass blowers of Egypt, who ex isted before the time of Moses, were quite as expert as men of our day. Mr. Nursey thus concludes: “It is true Pliny mentions that a combination was devised in the reign of Tiberius which produced a flexible glass, but both the inventoi and apparatus were destroy ed, in order, it is said, to prevent the value of copper, silver and gold from becoming depreciated. There is, how ever, no evidence whatever that this was the toughening process of De la Bastie, nor does the record in any way detract from the merits of that gentle man as the inventor of an important economic process. The fact remains that the world has now given to it for the first time, in a practical form, an invention by which the brittleness of glass is superseded by an attribute of the most valuable nature—toughness. It is by no means improbable that the adage, *as brittle as glass,’ will soon be superseded by anew one, ‘as tough as glass.’ ” And now the practical question will M. De la Bas tie’s new styles be for sale in the shops ? California had an election yesterday for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Sec retary of State, Attorney General, Treasu rer, Comptroller, Congressmen and Legis lature. The Republicans, Democrats and < independents ” have each nominated full sets of candidates, and some minor organ izations made nominations for State of fices. The Decline of Races—New England and Old England. Alluding to Malthusian doctrines, pre-natal homicide and many startling facts to prove the decline of native families in New England, Mrs. Eliza beth Cady Stanton declared that the day was not distant when foreign-born people would rule in that part of the world, and that “the Celt would trample on the graves of the Puritan.” Gen. Butler, in a recent speech, which is called “blarney,” made the same point, and, with a wiihering satire surpassing the criticisms of Gen. Preston, did not hesitate to paint Praise-God-Bare bones as he really is, and prophecy that the Irish race would, before a great while, push the descendants of the Mayflower pilgrims from their seats of power. The Golden Age indicates the sources from which Gen. Butler drew his gloomy vaticina tions. It argues that Dr. Nathan Al len, himself a New Englander, accumu lated facts and figures to show that New England families had run out. ToVns once peopled with a hardy, thrifty yeomanry of English descent were now occupied for the most part by Irish and other foreigners. New Englanders are deserting the country for cities. They have not the physical eudurauee of a former generation; an increasing number of them do not marry; the average number of children to a Yankee family has dropped from 7 to 3; infanticide is an epidemic, and emigration sweeps away the native population like a pestilence. Even in the cities the native population is hard ly holding its own. This is putting Dr. Allen’s statistics in the mildest possi ble form, but no attempt is made to deny the plausible basis therein given for such predictions a3 those of Mrs. Stanton and Gen. Butler. White admitting the prime facts al leged by these modern J eremiahs, male and female, the Golden Age has only one consolation and that is the unfor tunate condition of other places. It quotes from Mr. Gallon to prove that English society presents the same as pects and says: “A constant tide is set ting to the cities. Centralization is the marked tendency of the age. The great industries are in populous towns. But, while marriages are fewer and the death roll higher in the cities than in the country, the number of births in a giveiyiumber of families is less. Cities contribute to the adult population 77 per cent, less than the country. In the second generation the per cent, drops to 59. The life streams of the country districts pour their currents of popula tion into the towns, where they are swallowed up in these devouring whirl pools something as the waters that flow into the Mediterranean. The city gains, but only a tithe of what the country loses, and the city would ex haust itself in a few generations were it not constantly recruited from tlio coun try. The dreary theory of Malthus is disproved by facts he did not dream of. These facts show a fearful consump tion of life in modern times.” It is also asserted by those who seek to explain the decadence of the Puritan days have not been shared by modern populations; that extravagant mental culture has dwarfed the physique of men and women; that latter-day ideas stamp the growth of a family as a nui sance and not a blessing; that, by reason of the constant migration of the young men, the number of unmarried women in New England is prodigious; that the struggle for existence is so fearful an ordeal that the moral nature becomes abased and disease is en gendered. But be this as it may, New England and her ideas are rapidly going to the wall in this country. Far be it from us to stigmatize much of the work done for the world’s advancement by these people. Much material good have they accomplished; but it has been dashed with a spirit of intolerance and fanaticism which has worked enor mous evil. The war waged upon the South for the abolition of slavery has turned out a crazy crusade, fatal to the people who propagated it and a calami ty to the whole country. Their war against • Southern society and labor, after the war in the field, has added another horror to the bead-roll of disaster—the proofs of which are on every hand, and announcements of them come daily and nightly by the wings of the lightning. In the West and in the South whatever is whole some of the Puritan stock will exis; in sturdiness and conservatism, modified by different associations. But, at the central source of Puritanism, “ Iclia bod” will presently be written, and it is well for humanity that the peculiar doctrines of a Garrison, a Sumner, and a Beecher should receive their death-stroke. Poor Oarlotta. —Mrs. Annie Brews ter, writing to the Philadelphia Bulle tin, gives a shocking account of the widow of Maximilian. She says that loving friends have sent forth beauti ful fables concerning her condition, “but unhappily the reality is as revolt ing as the romance is attractive. The Empress, instead of being better in health, is worse, and her death, it is believed, is close at hand. For some time her insanity has taken the most brutish form. She never leaves tier bed, and has all the habits of an aoi mal. The poor Queen of Belgium has been unable for two years to bear the disgusting sight of unhappy Carlotta, but now, as she cannot live many months, the Queen goes constantly to her. This is the sad truth.” Idleness.— There is a great deal of idleness in the South, but hard times at the North—brought on by the Abo lition war and Radical Reconstruction have turned out a host of “tramps,” far in excess of anything of the kind known in this region. The Chattanoo ga Commercial (Rad) says: It is clearly a fact that, in proportion to population, there is not nearly so much en forced or voluntary idleness and loafing in the South as in the North—though this section could spare several of its worth less fellows, and be better oil for the rid dance. “Tramp, tramp, tramp ! the boys are marching!” Hard Times—What Causes Them. Gen. Durban Ward is one of the sturdiest opponents of the Ohio “in flationists,” but he recently made some confessions, in an able public speech, which are good for the souls of those men w T ho helped ruin the South. Speaking of hard times and what causes them, he said: We have lived too fast! The war, in cluding all, cost us at least eight thousand millions, perhaps much more. From one to two millions of able bodied laborers on both sides of the line were lost from productive industry nearly live years. They trampled half the United States under the iron heel of war. Everywhere production was les sened, and in wide regions disappeared. Commerce in our own vessels was driven from the seas. Our flag became a stranger on foreign waters, and our commerce a vassal to foreign trade. And when the war of steel was over the still more fatal war of Reconstruction began, and is not even yet ended. Radical politicians, playing the high game of Southern robbery, before which the extortions of Vebbes dwindle into petty peculations, with the selfish greed of winning fortunes and Senator ships and Presidencies, bound States in the festering chains of their policy, and drag ged them at the tail of their triurnphhal march of power. An empire in extent was squandered upon a set of profli gate “railroad kings,” and the plun der parceled out among “incorrupti ble” Congressmen. A credit-money sys tem as bottomless as Government faith —for no nation ever failed when pressed by its wants to defraud its ei editors—was framed to enrich those who were behind the curtains of the Treasury Department. A tariff, the vampire of every industry, even those it was designed to protect, sucked the life-blood out of the producing employments of the country, and, like the locusts of Egypt, devoured what the other plagues had left. While the sales of bonds to carry on the war had yielded but fifty cents on the dollar, even this pittance was the prey of Government contractors and corrupt officials. The war cost three times what a value currency and honest adminis tration would have made it. And even yet the movements toward retrenchment are feeble and spasmodic. Every expense of the Government is largely increased. The army, navy, Indian Department, Post Of fice, public buildings, consume million after million, as though the Government owed not a dollar and the people staggered under no load of debt. Not only so; the example of the Government has set the fashion for the people. Improvident expenditure, lux urious living, reckless speculation, has marked for years the social and business career. Is it any wonder, then, that the times are hard! And are not these the real reasons why they are hard? Is it not with a nation as with ax indi vidual ? Do not idleness and profligacy bring poverty ? A nation is but an aggre gation of men, and what is true of one is true of the other. If a man has embar rassed himself by extravagance he must redeem his fortunes by industry, frugality and economy; ands > must a nation. We must return to frugality and specie money. Let greenbacks enough bo funded to raise them to par. It will not take many. Then let them float till we are able to pay them, which will soon be, when specie payment has settled business on a stable basis. Abandon all banks of issue, State and na tional. Provide by law for the deposit of gold in the Treasury by any citizen, and the issuance to him of coin certificates— “goldbacks”—redeemable on presentation and receivable for all public dues. Every paper dollar will then have the ring of the genuine metal, and be “as good as gold.” Fluctuations will cease, and a dollar will then mean in fact, as it now does in law, Give'tie peo ple control of their own industries and cur rencies, without dictation from rulers. Give the country Constitutional freedom, equal rights to all, untrammeled labor, se curity to property, “ Uome Rule, Free Trade and Hard Money,” and government cando no more. If this does not mean that the Abo lition war and negro enfranchisement have bankrupted this country, what does it mean? We care not what kind of dollar we get, so its procurement does not destroy the many for the benefit of the few. But one thing remains a cer tainty, and that is, according to Gen. Ward’s own testimony, the whole Rad ical policy since 18G5 has to be revers ed, or else this country will “shoot Niagara” sure enough. Drainage—How It Affects the Health. We aro of those who rejoice at the improvements made in the drainage of Augusta, by our Mayor and Council. Tho people of this city should pay for such works with more alacrity than anything else of a corporation charac ter, because the health of the resident population is thereby immensely in creased. Apropos of this subject, our attention has been drawn to an article In the Atlantic Monthly from the pen of G. E. Waring, jr., who has made drain age and kindred topics a special study. Ho says : “ There are several diseases which are known to indicate more or less definitely unfavorable sanitary ar rangements, and as the knowledge of hygiene extends, othor diseases are add ed to the list. Nervous toothache, neu ralgia, scarlet fever, cholera, dysente ry, diphtheria, cerebro-spinal menin gitis and consumption are among those which are either generated by foul air or foul water, or which are made worse because of unhealthy surroundings.— Dr. Derby says * that an obscure inter nal cause—which, in our ignorance of its nature, is called a proneness of dis position to receivo the poison—is ne cessary for its development does not affect tho truth of the fact that with out filth the disease is not born. * * Tho improvement of public health, as expressed by that unerring guide, the death rate, corresponds with all the means by which air and water are kept free from pollution.’ “ Typhoid fever is the most conspic uous type of the class of zymotic dis eases, all of which are clearly pythoge nic, and none of which can originate under conditions fit for proper human habitation.” If statistics can be credited, our city unfortunately does not stand high in the list of municipalities which add to their other attractions the prime qual ity of salubrity. While we are not pre pared to admit the fullness of this statement, it is undeniable that there is room for sanitary reform, and the best way to remove even a partial reproach of this kind is as perfect a system of drainage as our ability permits.
