Thursday Morning, Sept 9, 1875.
Fashion and Economy—A Great Issue
of the Day.
Dickens declared that when Mr.
Toots fell in love—and he was always
perpetrating that absurdity—he imme
diately purchased a pair of tight boots.
As his affection increased, the cramped
condition of his boots kept pace with
the throbbing of his heart, until, on the
verge of popping the matrimonial ques
tion, Mr. Toots’ pedal covering became
an instrument of torture. Now, the
more the preachers and the editors
abuse the pull-back skirts of those an
gelic beings whom we call the better
halves of creation, the more do they
constrict their fashionable attire,
and the more emphatically is the
pulpit or the press told to stick
to its last and mind its own business.
That’s what a pious man gets for his
good advice or his wholesome rebuke
of a female monstrosity. No doubt the
ministry and the editors have indulgod
in satire and anathema on the same
ground that Hamlet was harsh to
Ophelia— they “must be cruel only to
be kind.” When, however, these friend
ly counselings or ecclesiastical curses
are met by a defiant attitude and a pil
ing on of the agony, we are constrained
to believe that the old theological
writer who asserted that “women
would rise at the Day of Judgment
in the similitude of men,” told
a great truth. The ancient scribe of
eourso meant that, even in the awful
pageant of the day of wrath, many
of the masculine gender would have
their attention drawn from holy things
by the fascinations or eccentricities of
the other sex. Hence he proposed as
a remedy that they should come from
tho tomb itself in coats and pantaloons.
The males might be amused at that
kind of masquerade, but would not,
at all events, peril their hopes of
heaven by being uaduly tempted to
prefer the sensual Paradise of Moham
med to the pure mansions of the Chris
tian Elysium.
Be this as it may, as public journal
ists, it is our duty to record that the
Pull-Back Question is one of the great
issues of the day, and that, in spite of
the Press, and Pulpit, any person devo
ted to a little Innocent gambling may
venture his “pile” upon the women and
against ull adversaries, come from what
quarter they may. We wish, however,
tl state that between the ladies and
the church, we shall remain neutral.—
In the first place, our devotiou to the
fair sex is such that we would not add
a single feather-weight to the burden
they already bear along in their
pilgrimage through the dusty and
sorrowful thoroughfares of the world.
In the second place, our attachment to
the clergy, of all denominations, is such
that we refuse to complicate matters
between them and their refractory fash
ion-devotees, who would not change
the cut of their raiment for an angel
from heaven, though they will indubi
tably do so at the sharp crack of Ma
dame Demobest’s whip. Our position,
therefore, is unassailable and sublime.
We shall patiently wait the day and
hour when a Paris or New York milli
ner may graciously condescend to in
form the world that this or that actress
has found out something new.
charming or ridiculous in female at
tire, and that orders are issued “from
these headquarters” that entirely new
outfits shall be in vogue; that the wo
man who should dare disobey Fashion,
though Priest or Levite stood reproach
fully by, is not a woman of spirit; and
that impecunious husbands and fath
ers must prepare, on paiu of domestic
torture, to open their purses and let
wives and daughters sacrifice as be
comes them to the Moloch of Frivol
ity. But, as we have repeatedly ob
served, we take no sides in this contro
versy. Since tho failure of Duncan,
Sherman & Cos. and Mr. Ralston’s
bank we have lost all interest in the
matter. It is well known that our
funds disappeared in those great whirl
pools, and so we can . soar into
table-lands of perfect aud blessed in
difference. But other nun are not so
fortunate or not so impartially in
clined. Not to speak of American crit
ics, we learn that Dr. Lorenz Stein, the
most eminent of Austrian political
economists, has lectured to German
students upon “Woman in the Sphere
of National Economy,” A Western
contemporary presents the matter
thus : “Yon Stein divides the entire
familj’ income into two distinct parts.
The first, which depends entirely upon
business and capital, belongs to the
husband. The second part, which per
tains to household economy, he
subdivides into six parts. Four of
these, including that part of the
income to be devoted to the dwelling,
the standing wants, such as dress,
light, fire, and servants, the expense of
sickness, death, insurance and recrea
tion. and a certain sum set apart as the
family saviug3-box for the subsequent
benefit of the children, are to be under
the immediate jurisdiction of husband
aud wife together. The wife alone has
the sole charge of the other two parts,
which include the daily and weekly ex
penses of housekeeping. He thereupon
demands that the wife, who thus has
charge of one-third of the life-economy
and an equal jurisdiction in the other
two-thirds, shall make the closest pos
sible estimates of all items of expense
and of the and quantities of
commodities.”
But here are the Doctor’s own words:
“ It is more important that girls should
know how much a family with an in
come of twelve hundred or twenty-four
hundred florintf should spend on flour
and meat, turnips and sugar, than how
much nitrogen and oxygen enter into
their composition —most important for
them to know how much it coats to feed |
a lamp during a winter, and how much
clothing and washing the household
needs, or how much fuel is required to
cook for five persons. With this su
pervision over the expenses under her
charge, the wife is to have the care of
tho house and to see that all things aie
in order aud nothing is wasted or lost. ;
yho frugal wife in her neat dress at;
breakfast, who sends her husband to
his business with good spirits, has
moro hold on him year in aud year out
than tho spendthrift pleasure-seeker
who tries to charm him in the evening
by her silks and jewels.”
At the risk of destroying our popu- j
larity and beiDg acused of receding ;
from a neutral attitude, we say “bravo,
Yon Stein!” At the same time, we
hold it to be a sovereign truth that
hundreds and thousands of women,
pull-back or no pull-back, in Augusta
and the world over, are faithful to the
grand maxims of life and, as worthy
daughters, pull-back or no pull-back,
are deserving to bo the wives of heroes
and the mothers of triumphant and
godly men.
A Proposition to Disband the Re
publican Party.
Asa generous conqueror proposes
to an enemy in the last moments of
utter annihilation to surrender, we
now propose, in all friendliness, that
the Republican party disband.—
It has sustained defeat in nearly every
quarter. It has lost its majority in
Congress, lost nearly all the Governors,
lost two-thirds of the Legislatures,
lost the confidence of the “nation,” lost
nearly every Senatorial election in the
last twelve months, and as fast as
| present terms expire will lose nearly
; all the balance. It lias lost nearly
! every influential journal and magazine
which at one time advocated its prin
ciples. Even in Boston it has been
voted down. It is in a hopeless mi
nority in New England, in New York,
in the Middle seaboard States, in the
South, the South-west, in the great,
West, and eveniu the Territories and
down tho Pacific Slope, the Democrats
have given the Republicans Waterloo
defeats.
There is too much infamy, too much
corruption in its history to allow it ever
again to rise. To point to the condi
tion of the Democracy ten years ago
aud now, for the purpose of example
upon which to lase a hope, is falla
cious. During the forty years it ruled
the United States there was nothiag
dishonorable about it. Its statesmen
were honorable men, who never stoop
ed to peculation, who never violated
the principles of the Constitution, but
governed in strict accordance with
law. The people well know all this,
and have determined to recall them to
power. But such is not the history of
the Republican party. For its shame
less malfeasance of public funds, for
the rottenness and the hideous corrup
tions of its members of Congress, it
has been condemned by the people.
It is perfectly useless for it to enter
the Presidential campaign. If the
election were to occur to-morrow it
would be the worst whipped party that
ever put forward a candidate for that
position. By disbanding it can save
itself from this defeat aud disgrace.
The longer it clings to its organization
the worse will be the defeat, the worse
the humiliation. It is obliged to come
to that at last. There is little earthly
hope for it now. It is better for all
honest men in the party to brand the
rogues and then join the Democracy
and help us lift the country from its
present slough of despondency. There
is neither wisdom, manliness nor pa
triotism in keeping up a factious oppo
sition. True, it will not prevent the
Democrats from accomplishing their
purpose of restoring the country to its
old prosperity. That they will most as
suredly do. The only power the Radi
cal party now has is to annoy. It is
too weak to win even the semblance of
victory. It has a skirmish line without
an army.
We therefore repeat that it is far
better for it to disband. Let the Na
tional Executive Committee be called
together and issue the following:
“Whereas, The people of the United
States, having determined to dispenso
in future with the services of the Re
publican party; Resolved, That it is
hereby disbanded.”
Of course, wo hardly expect the Re
publicans to show so much good sense ;
but they cannot say admonition has
not been most piously bestowed.
Ephraim is joined to liis idols, and will
probably hug them more closely the
more they drag him down to darkness
and defeat. It grieves us to the very
soul that we cannot “let him alone.”
If he is determined to fight it out, the
Democracy must undertake to break
him dhd his false gods. And this they
will inevitably do, next year, unless
the leaders of the party exhibit a stu
pidity which it would seem, at this
writing, even common lunatics would
instinctively avoid.
Spiritualism.— Mr. Henry Olcott,
who has spent some time in the inves
tigation of spiritual phenomena, de
clares that he is acquainted with living
men who can perform the prodigies
recorded of Albertus and Apollonius,
and the wonder-workers of all ages,
and that it has been shown to him,
“ that all these seeming miracles of the
circle are no miracles at all, but natu
ral manifestations of absolutely natu
ral law ; that man has'dominion over
the powers of nature by right of his
immortal soul’s divine parentage ; that
the “ spirits ” which produce nine
tenths of the genuine “manifesta
tions ” are not the spirits of men or
women from this earth, but something
quite different, and something that
does not inhabit our future world, nor
stroll with us among the asphodels;
that the wise, the pure, the just, the
heroic souls who have passed on be
fore us into tho Silent Land can not
and do not come back to spout sap
phics through scrub women, nor swirg
through the air on a spiritual trapeze
at the bidding of poverty-stricken me
diums, for the delectation of the gaping
crowd.” Our own opinion is that the
major part of these manifestations are
nothing but epilepsy grafted on the
Devil .
Journalistic.— Not at all daunted by
the cry of “wolf ” among the monopo
lists or would-be centralists, the editor
and proprietor of the North-East Geor
gian announces that he will publish a
daily paper, to be called the Athens
Georgian, at an early day.
Opinions. —The great banker Eugene
Kelly, once Ralston’s partner, says
the Pacific Monte Cristo “was a
generous fellow ; he moved too much
on what he saw and could not reason
around the next curve. Some of the
latest acts were the least reputable of
bis life.” Does Mr. Kelly mean that,
unlike Patrick’s gun, he could not
shoot around a corner? Commodore
Yanderbilt says: “Ralston was a
sucker. He ought to have burst
twenty years ago.” To which it has been
replied that “Vanderbilt calls his sons
“suckers.” The water he has put into
his railroads should keep the figure of
the sucker moist on his mind.” Amid
this disparagement it is refreshing to
read that Commodore C. K. Garrison,
on the contrary, who has no reputation
for philanthropy, but was once Rals
ton’s partner and employer, tele
graphed to him to draw on personal
accoutt, for family and convenience
alone, §IOO,OOO at sight. Before the
telegraph was delivered Ralston was
dead. The Commodore’s generous
remembrance of ancient friendship and
good-will may take its place beside
the iloweis that some pious or grateful
soul scattered on Nero’s grave. “Ah,
surely nothing dies but something
mourns !”
An Extinguisher.— A gentleman of
this city writes to the Macon Telegraph
that he has a few facts and figures
which, when drawn upon one of
Morton’s bloody shirt followers, never
fails to make an individual of that
stripe look like a baked skunk. Here
they are :
In reply to a resolution of the House of
Representatives calling upon the Secretary
of War for the number of prisoners of
either side held, and that died during the
war, he makes the following report:
“Number of Union prisoners South, 260,-
940; died, 22,596. Number of Confederate
prisoners North, 200,000; died, 20,435.”
It must be remember ed, in addition to
this, that the South was eager always
for an exchange, and. consequent upon
the Federal blockade by land and
water, could not’ treat the Federal
prisoners as well as she desired. Mor
ton’s great stock in trade is the Ander
sonville prison. Somebody ought to
sooth him with the original of the
above extract, which can be procured
at Washington.
Independents. —The so-called “Inde
pendents” and “Liberals” have panned
out so miserably in California and
elsewhere, that they are now merci
lessly ridiculed on all hands. The New
York Times sarcastically says: “Of
course, we shall continue to receive the
advice and counsel of these political
uobodies—a regimen which must be
borne with becoming meekness. The
race of impertinent advisers will not
die out with the ‘Liberal’ or ‘lndepen
dent’ Party. It does not follow, how
ever, that the noisy meddlers who are
so enamored of their own wisdom are
valuable as allies, even if they could be
made such. The Republican Party will
have to meet the Democrats in the
next campaign—nobody else.” Well,
we hope you may meet them just once,
if you wish it. Once more will do.
Prudent.— The San Francisco Eve
ning Bulletin says Mr. Ralston, late
President of the Bank of California,
had an insurance on his life, supposed
to aggregate over §300,000. During
the war, when gold was selling at 150,
Mr. Ralston sent §15,000 in gold to
New York on his own account, which
he sold for §37,500 in legal tenders, and
the whole amount was invested in paid
up policies ou his life, in favor of his
wife and children. Since that time lie
has taken a number of extra risks,
swelling the amount, as before stated,
to about §300.000. It is supposed the
insurance companies will resist the
payment of the policies, setting up as
a plea that Mr. Ralston committed
suicide, against which is the verdict of
the jury that his death was from
natural causes, and not the result of
suicide.
France and Germany.— Commenting
upon a recent exposure of the Weak
ness of the now French army, the
Paris Moniieur declares that if France
has failed to take the best steps for
forming an aggressive army it is sim
ply because she lias no wish to form an
aggressive army, but aims for the
present, and for a long time to come
must be content to aim, at putting her
self into a condition which will make it
more perilous for Germany to fight
her than it was in 1870.
Sensational. — That special telegram
from Kamtschatka,' in which Mr. Ben
nett, of the Herald, complained that
his lightning express train had failed
to astonish the natives, and hence the
staff would be reorganized in case
some prodigies were not done to stir
up tho animals, has had its effect. The
phenomenal New York paper is busily
engaged in prospecting for a war with
Mexico, as Grant’s great flank of Bill
Allen and Democracy.
Skill.— Dr. Beard, of New Orleans,
offered a prize medal for any Crescent
City man who could, in one day’s trial,
make a score of 220 or more points by
shooting at a target. E. J. Mencke
made 222, but the invincible Doctor
struck the bull’s eye 224 times. Sup
pose the American Rifle Team beard

A taste for bright colors seems to be the

And the perpetual evidence of savage

A Danbury deacon nearly captured
five boys who had been devastating his
chestnut trees one Sunday afternoon.
Shaking his fist after their retreating

ly espying his pastor on the scene, he
impressively added: “I’d pray for ’em !”
They are talking of abandoning the

The result of tho Cong ressi|nal elections
