(tljt Constitutionalist. AUGUSTA, .. ... 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 that lion in his den. A taste for bright colors seems to be the first evidence of civilization Exchange. And the perpetual evidence of savage life. What would not a barbarian give for a glass bead or a red night-cap ? A Danbury deacon nearly captured five boys who had been devastating his chestnut trees one Sunday afternoon. Shaking his fist after their retreating forms, he angrily shouted: “The sneak ing little devils ! If I had hold of ’em one minute, I’d ” and then sudden ly espying his pastor on the scene, he impressively added: “I’d pray for ’em !” They are talking of abandoning the system of giving prizes to Sunday School scholars up in Williamantic, since they found last week that the boy who won a copy of Paley’s “ Evi dence of Christianity ” had swapped it off for a meerschaum pipe and a quart of peanuts.—[Norwich Bulletin. The flies are in session at Long Branch. PERSONAL. The Jersey defalcation is called tSuoy generis. A physician in Missouri, wL > lately found that a personal friend had lied from his neglect to attend a call, comi itted suicide The Milwaukee girl who rn > arrested for stealing a pair of shoes to w ar to Sunday school says she will never t y to be good again. There was a place apart n neaven for good wives who could judge ; wicked thing as harshly when a man did it as when a woman did it. But it has no er been occu pied, I believe.—Chec Foo Ts i. A Patchogue woman kej t her mouth pried open for six hours, in ( rder to cure a gum boil, and she hasn’t be< n able to shut it since. Her husband is a beli wer in special Providence. Matt Carpenter has annt meed that he w r ill never contradict a news[ iper. Perhaps Matt mourns his lost opport fity when the New York Tribune challenged him to sue it for libel. Mrs. Snipe, of Galveston, Texas, found her husband sitting on the idewalk with another woman aud attacked him furious ly, fastening her tooth in iis throat and almost tearing out his wind- iipe. Senator Sharon has still < no unmarried daughter, butsliico his late i ish resolve to clear Ralston’s Record if it tc ok every cent he had, she has lost much of er good looks aud amiability. Prince Bism rok, Prussia i that he is, is not devoid of French tastes. It is now re lated that on the eve of tho 1 attle of Sad owa he wrote to his wife: end me some French novels to read, but i ot more than one at a time. The census takers of Wiuc lendon, Mas sachusetts, have come across the case of a woman twenty-five years c and, married at twelve years of age, who has itiad ten child ren, the oldest being now ghirteen years old.

I It does seem as if tho Philadelphia Cen tennial were bringing all the! relics of the last generation to the suiiace.

The other day a Detroit jiusband was reading in a newspaper that! the premoni tory’ symptoms of insanity! were a wild look, flushed lace, thick sjieech and so forth, and he handed it to hiil wife and re marked: “Mary’, if I eveil come home looking that way you’ll know’ what it niqans, and you’ll know wha < to do.” “Yes, daning,” she softly replied, is she laid the paper down, “I'll have an emftic and a club waiting for you.”—[Detroit lice Press. Speaking of the striped blockings, Jen nie June says, with great flood sense: A lady may wear, as many d|, the finest of silk, tho most delicate of thijsad, she may match the tints of her dress,Jmd thus har monize every portion of hjr toilet with perfect propriety, but when *he wears ho siery only fit for a harlequin! and shortens her dress in front to a vulgar extreme to show it, there is very’ little ff modesty or womanhood left that would! not be sacri ficed to vanity and love of di-!nlay. “Wo beseech of Thee, if we have enemies, not only’ that Thou wfit for; ive them, but that Thou wilt bl>-ss them in changing their nature or their itions.

But ae found his match once in an actor who layed Claud ius to Macready’s Virginia s. The first night Macready tore tho ctor’s ballet shirt into shreds. But the set md night the actor filled his shirt with p ns, and then calmly let the power of genii 3 manifest it self. Macready begaiqpas usi :il, to lose his identity, but about the time i dozen piDs had penetrated his cuticle as Virginius he began to rage in real earnest s Macready, and those who heard liim sajf that bis re marks were totally unlike | those which Knowles put into tiie mouth |of Virginius.
