Ctljc Constitutionalist. AUGUSTA, GA.: Sunday Morning, September 5/1875 CURRENT TOPICS. The Lunatic Asylum—A Case in Point. W e have frequently alluded to the con dition of the Georgia Asylum, calling at tention to the absolute necessity of build ing anew one. In proof of this we make the following extract from the Merriwether Vindicator: “The Commissioners met last Tuesday to try a ease of lunacy—a lady. Being a decided lunatic, a member of the board informed the troubled husband that there was no room for the poor unfortunate in the lunatic asylum, and if confinement was necessary no place could be procured ex cept the county jail. The loving husband replied as long as he was able to work and watch, his wife couldn’t become an inmate of a jail. Additional accommodations for lunatics have become an absolute necessity aixl the next Legislature must provide them.” Commenting upon this the LaGrange Reporter says: We are glad to note the last sentence coming from Mr. Revilli, a member of the Legislature, and we hope he will devote himself to the work of hav ing another asylum built. He could not engage in a nobler or more needful work. Mer. wether is not the only county in which this same thing has occurred—persons adjudged lunatics, and then thrown back on their relatives and friends for safe keeping, to grow continually worse in the disease until it develops into _hel pless madne s. That such things do occur is a deep, unutterable disgrace to Georgia. Would that a hundred other Legislators could have the same convictions as the editor of the Vindicator.” We hope that the next Legislature will find time between bids to change the code and county lines to take this matter into serious consideration. There is no State in the Union whose un fortunate lunatics are so shamefully treat ed. Those citizens who in future lose their minds must either be taken care of by their friends or be sent to the most con venient county jail. But we take it that the Legislature has not had its attention called to this matter, or else a bill would have been adopted last winter covering the case. The Fall Elections—First Drops of tire Thunder Cloud. California has voted down the Radical party. The great Democratic tidal wave which staited in New England last fall has now swept over the country from ocean to ocean. There is nothing left of the Repub lican party but General Gkant, a few Sena tors elected four or five years ago, and a parcel of office holders appointed by the President, with here and there an old thiev ing carpet-bagger elected by negroes in the Southern States. The result of the next Presidential cam paign has already been determined. Victo ry is assured. There is no earthly doubt that whoever gets the Democratic nomina tion will be the next President of the United States. The next great and signal triumph will be in Ohio. It is impossible to arrest the tide now by the shattered and utterly de moralized forces of the enemy. The French had just about as much chance of winning after the surrender of Sedan and Metz. The Radicals have raised the assumption that theirs is a hard money party. Cali fornia is a hard money State, and yet it repudiated that party. Besides bringing greenbacks into existence, it has many other sins to answer for. The truth is this country is sick unto death with the negro and his rights. It now demands some rights, some work and hume meat and bread for the white man. It demands a restoration of our commerce by land and sea, a revival of trade, and a general return to the old days of honesty and prosperity. Tire Guihord Case —Why He Was Re fused Catholic Burial. As this case is attracting a great deal of attention, an explanation of it is just now in order. Joseph Guibord was a French Canadian. He though a Catholic, was a member while living of a Library Com pany at Montreal, which refused to re move from its shelves certain books at the request * f the Roman Cath lie Bishop of that city. Guibord was the owner of a lot in the Catholic Cemetery.— A I'ter ids death the bishop refused the widow permission to bury her husband’s remains in consecrated ground. The widow appealed to the courts. Conflicting decisions only *' made the matter worse, until finally the case went to the English Privy Council, and an order has been passed directing that the remains of Joseph Guibo and “be buried in that part of the cemetery in which the remains of Roman Catholics who receive ecclesiastical burial are usually in terred.” it eost tea thousand dollars to get this decision. A second attempt is to ?.e made lo bury him there, and ths dis patches this morning indicate that troops will be required to accomplish it. But for all that— llow little wrecks it where men lie When, ont o the moment’s past; When ttie dim and glazing eye / lias looked on earth its iast. Whether beneath the sculptured urn The eoffined lid tnay rest— Or in its nakedness return Back to mother earth. Curious Facts About Capt. Webb, the Great Swimmer. As Capt. Webb is the greatest swimmer the world lias ever known, or is likely to know, any facts about him must, at this time, prove interesting. We learn that he once swum from Blackwall to Gravesend, doing twenty miles with the stream in four hours, and afterwards eclipsed even this performance by making his way from Dover to Ramsgate, a distance of eighteen miles, in nine hours. It was in his second attempt to cross the channel in his life saving dress that Capt. Boynton succeeded, and in view of this fact, and Capt. Webb’s previous feats, the Telegraph urged him to “try again.” He did “try again,” with the success already announced. The lelegraph describes the appearance of Capt. Webb, when stripped for his work, as “very much that of the old Greek statues of Hercules. He is, if anything, a little short of middjg height, with a tremendous chest, a great pair of shoulders, and a somewhat liberal allowance of flesh.” Sayeks, who fought with Beenan, is said to have been about the same build as Capt. Webb. The Tele graph considers that, for hard and severe work, “the best type of man is one of mid dle height or even Jess, with a deep chest, square shoulders, thick neck, and, if any thing, a slight tendency to fat.” We recently received a communication asking for the publication of the names or certain European monarchs. Here they are and their salaries too ; Alexander 11.. $ *,is-2,000, or $25,000 a day. Abdul Aziz $0,000,000, or $i3,000 a day. Francis Joseph, $1,000,000, or $10,051 a day. Fred. Wil liam. 11., $3,000,000, or $3,210 a day. Victor Emanuel, $2,400,000, or $0,840 a day, Vic toria, $2,200,000, or $6,27*j a day. Leopold, ■sOou.ooO, or $1,643 a day. In addition to this salary, each of thewo individuals is fur nished with a dozen or more first-class houses to live in. without any charge of rent. Monsignor Jose Taix >l, Bishop of the Sea of Urgel, would seem to bo in a very tight place since a criminal prosecution is to be brought against him by the Alfon “HST government, and he is now a prisoner uear Barcelona. Taixal is the primate of the Carlists, and, although it was re ported in December that he had aban doned that causa, his subsequent faithful adherence to his post of duty in the face of the difficulties by which ha was surround ed seems to stamp the report as of Alfon sits origin. Of course the Madrid Govern ment will have little compassion on a fierce partisan like Taxial. LETTER FROM CHARLESTON. Singular Accident to a Vessel—A Question for the Lowyers—The Po litical Gumbo—The Water Famine llow it Affects Pump Handles—Local Dots. From Our Regular Correspondent J Charleston, September 1,1875, For ono day the public mind in Charleston has been drawn from mu nicipal politics by one of the most curious marine accidents that has ever happened at this port. Anew bark, the Ziba, lately arrived was discharging ballast at Commercial wharf pier and on Thursday afternoon having dis charged all her ballast was about to be towed to another place to load a cargo of naval stores. The tug had arrived about 6 o’clock, and bad made her lines last to the batk when the latter iimnedia.ely cap sized in the dock, sinking the tug, and now lies on her side. The old salts and admiralty lawyers here are in quite a puzzled state of mind in consequence of the complicated questions which are involved in this accident, In the first place it is a mooted question whether the insurance companies can be made to pay the policies, for the reason that by the terms of the policies vessels are compelled always to carry a certain amount of ballast, an I the Ziba was certainly without ballast when she cap sized. Another disputed poiut is whether the owners of *the bark will not Lave to pay for the tug; and the most per plexing of all the points involved is how the unusual accident occurred. For the next two or three days every body will discuss these points, and then we shall return once more to our Complicated Political Fight, which is growing more muddled and incomprehensible every day. The Con servatives, so-called, by which I mean the Wagener Conservatives of the executive committee, have opened the ball by ordering primary elections for delegates to the nominating convention, on Wedneseay next. Polls will be opened in the various wards between the hours of 12 and 3 P. M., and the Wagenerites and anti-Wagenerites and Bowenites and Mackeyites will do their level best to send in their delegates, and it is not at all improbable that the whole thing will break up in a general row. If this is averted, and the pri maries are successfully conducted, the nominating convention will meet on the Friday following, and will doubtless break up iu a bolt. Iu the meanwhile the Radicals, who have set the Con servatives by the ears, are quietly laughing in their sleeves. Tlie Long Dry Spell cotiuues and the water famine gets more distressing every day. Bo great is the demand that a GO feet artesian well in the lower portion of Meeting strext is crowded by negroes from early dawn until long after midnight. The handle of that pump never ceases to wag, except when it is worn out and taken away to make room for anew one, which occurs about ouce iu twen ty-four hours. This is the only public well in that section of the city, and it has to supply water for about 5,000 persons. Charleston Notes and Gossip. New cotton is coming in freely, and the harbor is getting crowded with shipping. The Annual Rifle Match which takes place at Creedmoor, Long Island, on the 28th inst., is attracting attention, and it is rumored that a team from Charleston will be there. It costs $6,000 a month to work the streets—and they are poorly worked, too. For the first time siuce the late war, Charleston is represented at West Point by an intelligent white native. The cadetship was won at a competitive examination, by Mr. M, P. Jenkins, a son of the distinguished Confederate General of that name. Most of the rifle clubs in the city are endeavoring to raise the means of pur chasing new and handsome uniforms, in time for the Fort Moultrie Centen nial, when we expect to have the splen did companies of the Augusta Battalion with us. Qui Vive. The Children of the Poor. BY CHARLES MACKAY. Pity the children of the poor, Who’ve never pluck 'd the daisies, Who’ve never watched the skylark soar. Or heard it singing praises; Who’ve never trod the fresh green sward, Or ram Lied by the river— They need a holiday, ye rich, And Heaven rewards the giver! Pity the little pattering feet That swarm in fetid alleys. And grimy hands that might be swaet ’Hid cowslips of the valleys! Palo lips that might grow rosy red Where fresh free breezes quiver— Provide a holiday, ye rich, And Heaven reward the giver! Pity the little bright blue eyes That never saw the ocean, Or gaz-d with innocent surprise At wild waves in commotion. Send—send them forth one happy day, To hill or sea or river; ’Tis great to them, but small to you, And Heaven reward the giver! From healthful joy comes wholesome thought And sense of nature’s beauty, And mid instruction, wisdom-lraught, Of pity and of duty; All withered in the noisome slums! Deliver them, deliver! ’Twill cost you little, oh, ye rich, And God reward the giver! 0. H. PHINIZY. F. B. PHINIZY. C. H. PHINIZY & CO.

The laps are then finished on a TWO-BEATER LAPPER, WI T H KITSON’S X3VENER* Attahed, and owing to roccent improvements in this Evener, the laps when readyl for the card, only varies one quarter of an ounee to the yard. The cost of picking by this system is only aboutone mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house is safer from fire than the card r< mi. flS*There is al- o a great saving of room and power over the old system.
