AUGUSTA, GA..Z
Saturday Morning, September 11,1875.
The Ohio Campaign and Its Results.
It is a pity the Democrats of Penn
sylvania could not agree upon some
bold policy with regard to the cur
rency, or, failing to do that, drop the
money question altogether and unite
upon antagonism to Radicalism in
general. Had the Ohio campaign been
decided one way or the other, there
would have been no difficulty in Penn -
syivania ; but while the circumstances
of the case are involved in some doubt,
the Pennsylvania politicians are natu
rally bewildered, for, with the majority
of men, success is everything and prin
ciples secondary objects. The people
love to rally around bold men and
brave principles. Hence the success of
Eaton in the East and Allen in the
West, during what many persons con
sidered the darkest day of the Demo
cracy. This timidity of the party
leaders in Pennsylvania may, though
we hope not, cost them dear.
Now, what is the prospect in Ohio ?
A correspondent writing from Cleve
land in that State comprehensively
passes in review the checks and balan
ces in this manner:
Since I emerged from the iron and coal
districts of the btate, I have no doubt of
the election of Allen in October. When I
entered Ohio two weeks since my opinion
as to the result of the contest between him
and Hates inclined the other way. A tour
of 1,300 miles in various sections of the
State, with eyes and ears open to both po
litical parties, has gradually carried me to
the opposite conclusion. The wave which
will bear Allen to victory, regardless of
side eddies and cross currents, is opposi
tion to Grants Administration and the Re
publican party, and a determination that
in the grand movement in that direction,
commenced last year in Ohio, she will now
take no step backward. This phase of the
controversy is what chiefly inspires both
parties to the combat. True it is, that
greenbacks and Catholics have got a good
deal mixed up in the fight, and all along
the lines are heard rallying cries of “The
Ores in the furnaces have gone out,” or
‘The Pope is trying to bag the school
funds.” Nevertheless, the main conflict is
a regular battle between the Republicans
and the Democrats.
Occurring in the year previous to the Pre
sidential contest in the only doubtful State
which votes for a Governor in October, this
election will practically decide the coming
Presidential e'oetion against the Republi
can party; for if the Republicans cannot
now recapture Ohio, what gieat State
which went over to the Democracy last
year can they reasonably expect to win
back in 1876? I know the Republicans are
waging this contest with these contingen
cies in view; and hence the vigor, not to
say desperation, wherewith they tight the
battle. If, on the other hand, Hates is
elected, Republican Presidential stock (and
perhaps Grant stock) will instantly go up
all over the Union.
Another important effect would follow
the election of Allen. It would instantly
check, if not wholly crush, the revival of
Know'-Nothingism in the country, and
prevent its introduction into the Presiden
tial campaign as a formidable issue. An
Eastern man must travel through and care
fully study Ohio just now to see how close
to the margin of the Know-Nothingism of
twenty years ago the Republican party is
running. It has been let loose in Ohio in
this campaign, and if not beaten here, will
be immediately entered for the Presidential
race. Somehow it so happens that it is
running out here in double harness with
hard money. However, I think Senator
Thurman and Gov. Allen will be in at its
death.
The general impression among can
did men of all parties is that Allen
will prove victorious and overwhelm
ingly so. Vice President Wilson has
as good as surrendered in advance.
There is a significant withdrawal of at
tacks upon the standard bearer in Ohio
by hard-money Democratic editors in
the East. Morton virtually threw up
the sponge when he fled before the
currency question and started a Know
Nothing crusade; and somehow the
popular impression is that Hayes will
quit the arena a vanquished man. The
Republican oracles are casting about
for other intrenchments, as if satisfied
that Allen and Victory were coinci
dental. They are hoping that a Dem
ocratic triumph in Ohio will cause a
split in the party on the money issue
and so enable them to carry the coun
try in 1870. But Henry Wilson has
laughed at that expectation, and
the Cincinnati Commercial puts
another stopper on it in these words ;
“ The talk about a split in the party on
tile currency question is not warrant
ed. When Thurman and Ewing, Hen
dricks and Cary, McDonald and Allen,
can occupy the stump notwithstanding
the iuflation plank, it is absurd to sup
pose there will be any difficulty about
Democratic unity. The Democrats will
unite on an evasion, as they always
do.” We hope and believe they will
unite, not on “ evasion,” but on grand
principles which are far above legal
tenders as they are above rubies. The
Couritr-Journal, which has, in a half
hearted way, opposed Allen, admits
that, though the contest is, like all
human affairs, a problematical thing, it
will produce tremendous results. It
says : “If Ohio goes for Allen the
Ohio platform will be substantially the
national platform, and much as we
dissent from its tendencies, we shall
support it. So will Tilden, Bayard
and Thurman. The likelihood is that
the race will be between Grant and Al
len, and no one who wishes well to the
free institutions of his country can hes
itate between the Democrat and the
Radical.”
Heaven grant that the October sun
shall shine upon Allen the conqueror,
and that the Democracy, all minor dif
ferences adjusted or in abeyance, shall
lock shields for an irresistible and solid
movement upon the very citadel of the
Radical monster. Thus united and
thus led, we shall sweep that hated
faction from power and restore the
States to something like their ancient
prosperity, freedom and renown.
Ead’s Jetties.—Mr. John Barward
puts a spider io Mr. Eads’ pudding
thus:
At the time the engineers, under Gen.
Grant, attempted to cut the bend of the
river at Vicksburg, the New York Times
published a communication that I had the
honor of addressing it, demonstrating the
utter impracticability of the undertaking
by their manner of working; they persist
ed and failed. There is about to be a gran
der failure at the mouth of the Mississippi.
If Eads’ should fail, he will be knock
ed bar-ward, sure enough.
Mississippi Affairs.
While Col. Lamar is engaged incite
! arduous task of ‘‘breaking the color
' line,” both whites and blacks in his
State are busily employed breaking
each other’s heads. As well may the
tamer of beasts go unarmed and with
a swallow-tail coat—instead of the
Roman gladiator’s dress—into the den
of wild animals, as for the distinguish
ed Representative from Mississippi to
attempt to make the negro politician
and white gentleman pull in the same
traces without a degredation to one or
the other, or without collisions such as
have occurred in Ames’ pachalique.
Col. Lamar is as ignorant of negro
nature as if he had been born in Massa
chusetts. By some hook or crook, he
may gain something for his State, but
his chances of worsting her, in a:iy
event, are remarkably promising. To
show in what sort of a muddle the
State of Mississippi is politically we call
attention to the following paragraph:
[Vicksburg Herald.]
Columbus, September 2.—The Lowndes
county Radicals made a wide split to-day.
Two conventions assembled and put two
tickets in the field. One convention, repre
senting the negro color liners, nominated
Gleed, a negro, for sheriff, a negro for
treasurer, two negroes for the Legislature,
and the rest of the ticket is composed of
white men. The other convention nomi
nated a white ticket. Lewis was nominated
for sheriff, Gen. Eggleston for chincery
clerk, D. L. Wallace for circuit clerk and
R. R. Spiers, a Democrat, for county treas
urer. The remainder of the ticket is left to
be completed by the election of Democrats.
Both factions are bidding high for the white
vote, and the 'Democrats talk of comp ro
promising with one faction. Index.
Negroes and their vile allies “bidding
for white votes !” God in heaven!
what has become of the South, and
when will Mississippi’s humiliation
have an ending? And now, to complete
the picture, Ames, who has desired the
death of thirty or forty negroes to help
the Republican party, shrieks out for
United States bayonets, and it may be
to some purpose. General Grant, since
the snubbing he got from New York, on
the third term, as he has been the reci
pient of the same from every other
State save South Carolina, may not be
disposed to help out the Republican
party which has been so indisposed to
help him:; but this need not be re.ied
upon entirely, and he may cons.der
that a storm is his best element, no
matter what the Republican convention
leaders think of him or his aspirations.
We are afraid that Colonel Lamar’s
color ideality is a blunder of the first
magnitude, but trust that, even amid
such mistakes, Mississippi may be re
deemed.
The Sources of Wealth.— The St.
Louis Republican, in the following
statement, makes some striking com
parisons : “The gold and silver pro
duct of the United States in 1871 was
872,000,000. Of this California fur
nished §20,300,000; Nevada, §35,452.000;
Utah §5,900,000; Colorado, §4,191.000;
Montana, §3,439,000, and Idaho, §1,880,-
000. We exported nearly the whole of
this product abroad to pay for what we
imported. We sometimes flatter our
selves that our gold and silver mines
are an important source of wealth, but
if we compare their yield with that of
some other products, the mistake will
be detected. Our corn crop is worth
four times as much as our gold and
silver crop; our wheat crop five times
as much; cotton crop more than three
times as much, and our hay crop feur
times as much. California is called the
Golden State, but with all its gold and
silver product it would be a poor State
but for its wheat crop. California’s
agriculture is a much more prolific
source of wealth than its mines.” And
it may be added that, without the cot
ton crop, the gold and silver of this
country would be drained by Europe
much more rapidly thdu they now are,
and the “credit of the nation” would
not command any more respect than
that of Turkey.
The Naked Truth—lt is said that
Mark Twain was once required to give
a faithful description of a person of
his acquaintance, and he was previous
ly assured that no matter what he said
no harm should come to him, so that
he “spoke the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth, so help him
God.” Here is the result:
A long-legged, vain, light weight 'Ullage
lawyer, from New Hampshire. If he had
brains in proportion to his legs, he would
make Solomon seem a failure; if his mod
esty equaled his ignorance, he would make
a violet seem stuck up; if his learning
equaled his vanity, he would make Von
Humbolt seem as unlettered as tl e back
side of a tombstone; if his statu re were
proportioned to his conscience, he would
be a gem for the microscope; if his ideas
wero as large as his words, it would take a
man three months to walk around one of
them; if an audience wero to con:ract to
listen as long as ho would talk, that audi
ence would die of old ago; and if he were
to talk until he said something, he would
still be on his legs when the las - ; trump
sounded; and he would have cheek enough
to wait till the disturbance was over and
go on again.
As the candid Mark still lives and
prospers, we know for a certainty that
the guarantee of speaking the truth
with impunity was observed in good
faith.
Moody.— Mr. Moody, the great evan
gelist, has commenced his work in the
United States. He preached at, North
field, Mass., on September 4th. Among
other things he said: “If the Angel
Gabriel should come down upon you
this moment, you should ask him not
for wealth, but for eternal life." Wise
words, but how few really would ask
the Angel for-the boon of heaven if it
implied a life of poverty and sorrow
upon earth? It is related of an Italian
friar that he had contrived to bow his
congregation to the very dust of re
pentance. While they were prostrate
on the ground, he cried out, ‘Ye who
have sincerely repented hold up your
right arms.” Every arm went up
straightway. Then the monk added,
in a terrible voice, “Gabriel of the
Flaming Sword! I call upon thee to
smite off the arms of all who are not
willing to abandon even the smallest
of their sins!” Every arm instinctive
ly and with a quick jerk came down.
We rejoice to know that Mr. Moody’s
expeiience has borne better fruit.
Fame.— While Mr. Disraeli and other
distinguished persons are engaged in
the attempt to raise funds for the erec
tion of a monument to Lord Byron; and
while Mrs. Stowe has thought it worth
while to make an effort to blacken his
memory—there is a curious paragraph
going the rounds which shows that a
dead worthy may fill the universe with
his works and yet be practically ignored
at the very spot where he goes to dust.
A recent visitor to Nottinghamshire,
thus writes:
In the course of a summer ramble we
once visited Hucknall, near Newstead, the
burial place of Lord Byron. On the sexton
appearing we intimated we had come to see
the famous tomb there, which doubtless
many people visited. “Oh! crowds, sir,
especially of a Saturday afternoon.” And
he led us over a well-worn path to a stone
erected by Ben Caunt, the pugilist, over
the grave of two of his children. Ben, ac
cording to the sexton, was a great man with
his hands, but we found he had little in
terest in the author of “Chiide Harold,”
whose remains lie in the chancel of the lit
tle village church.
The chances of Ralston having a
costly memorial shaft are better than
those of Byron ; and it was only by an
accident that the effigy of Boss Tweed
did not, while that criminal was in the
flesh as he is now, adorn Central Park.
Should Mr. Disraeli fail in his endea
vor, let him, in imitation of his re
nowned father, write a book on the
“Curiosities of Fame’s Tombstones.”
It would be a charming book, and oh,
so very commendable to human na
ture !
CkErHE.—Attention is ealled by one
of our contemporaries to the fact that
“among the good things said about
Gcethe on the recent anniversary of
his birth, it is strange to see so few
allusions to his personal beauty. In
his ode Mr. Bayard Taylor says of
Fate :
“ Proud beauty to the boy she gave.
A lip that bubbled song, yet lured the bee.
An eye of light, a forehead pure and free.”
His mother wrote: “ There skated my
son Wolfgang like an arrow among the
groups. The wind had reddened his
cheeks and blown his hair. I threw him
ray crimson, furred cloak, he fastened
it up with the golden clasps in front,
threw the train over his arm, and away
he went over the ice, like a son
of- the gods ! Anything so beautiful
never was seen, and I clapped my
hands with joy.” Lewis says : “He
reached Strasburg on the 21 of April,
1770. He was now turned to twenty,
and a more magnificent youth never
entered the Strasburg gates. He was
likened to an Apollo. When he entered
a restaurant the people laid down their
knives and forks'to look at him.” Pic
tures and busts give but a very feeble
indication of that which was most
striking in his appearance. In stature
he was above middle size, his presence
imposing and majestic, his head, with
his liberal features and lustrous brown
eyes, rested on a fine muscular neck—
indeed, ho was none of “Nature’s jour
ney-work.” And yet ho married an
illiterate woman who frequently got
drunk.
Discovered. During the Summer
months the Baltimore basin has had
more stinks than the city of Cologne.
Science and money have been employed
to discover the cause of this dreadful
nuisance. The failure of Stirling,
Ahrens & Cos., and consequent stop
page of work at the Sugar Refineries,
which empty into the stream, may be
said to have solved the riddle. The
Sun says : “ The water is no longer
black and offensive, but looks and
smells more like the basin did years
ago, when the boys used to bathe in it,
and the disciples of Isaak Walton
dropped the white perch a line. It is
the opinion now of some of the peo
ple whose business lies in that neigh
borhood that if all the sugar refineries
were to take a rest of a week or two
the basin would behave itself as it
used to do, when people never thought
of turning up their noses at it.” Be
hold how Providence brings good out
of evil! Had Stirling & Ahrens pros
pered, Baltimore people never might
have known why large sections of the
city smelt like a charnel house.
Insect Notes.— The true inwardness
of a persistent insect is thus stated by
somebody to us unknown :
People who are afflicted with mosquitoes
will be pleased to know that the buzzing
wherewith the diligent insect enlivens the
night is the way in which he calls his mate.
Ho does not make his noise in sheer malice,
hut he sings to his sweetheart, and theso
curious creatures listen to each other with
their feelers. The antennie vibrate to dif
ferent notes, and so the delicate creatures
commune with each other in darkness. .
As the female is the blood-sucker,
what is the use of her calling that mate?
Does she do it on the same principle
that a hen cackles when she lays an egg,
or out of “pure cussedness ?”
Bots.— A friend of the human race
and lover of the horse professes to
have discovered that the juice of tan
sy is “dead-shot for bots.” May be
so, but we are losing faith in specifics.
The Scientific American swore that red
pepper drove away ants ; but anybody
who wants to be “ the victim of mis
placed confidence ” can make the ex
periment. Doos the man or woman
live who can confidently assert that he
or she knows a certain remedy for the
invasion of pismires, short of burning
down the house ?
Crop Statistics. —The Nashville
American sums up the world’s grain
production thus: The statistics of 1874
show that Russia produced 460,000,000
bushels of wheat; France, 286,000,000,
and the United States the same. Rus
sia exported one-eight of her grain, the
United States one-fourth, and France
none. Tne United States, however,
grow an enormous amount of corn,
which the others do not. Another can
didate for cereal honors comes for
ward. South Australia this year an
nounces that it has 6,000,000 bushels of
surplus wheat, 1,400,000 of which have
already been exported, while the re
mainder is ready for shipment.

wants to know “what are trumps in

are to be credited, tramps are trumps
