AUGUSTA, GFA.,:
Tuesday Morning, September 14,1875.
The Value of Southern Production.
Had the Southern States been fairly
dealt with by their partners at the
North, and no war made upon them
and their institutions, the Union would
bo now the richest country on the
globe. But the people of the East and
West, who got the lion’s share of
Southern profits, and with them built
up their cities, towns and enormous
fortunes, deliberately went to work to
destroy the system that enriched them.
And now that the “results of the war”
are returning to plague the inventors,
they find out that the inflated pros
perity of their sections is a “barren
ideality” indeed, Not only did
the war-party of the North
deliberately sacrifice the accumu
lation of many unprecedentedly pros
perous years ; not only did they ex
tirpate the best labor system that ever
was devised; but they spent $1,000,000,-
000, after the war in the field was over,
to humiliate, corrupt and impoverish
the conquered section. What has been
the result? The boastod wealth of the
conqueror grows mythical day after
day. A reign of thieves and murderers
has been inaugurated. The balance of
trade is so fearfully against this coun
try that the entire failure of our cotton
crop would bankrupt it beyond a ques
tion. And yet, let facts speak for the
South. Let figures detail what a people
trampled to the earth,' robbed, insult
ed, driven almost to despair, have done
for the common weal. The North with
double her population and area of
land, has fallen short of the exports of
the South—exports which bring gold
and maintain credit. Here are the nu
merals which wo find floating around
uncredited: “In 1875 the exports of
Southern products—cotton, tobacco
and naval stores—footed up $222,000,-
000, while the products of the North
thus exported—bacon and hams, oil,
corn, flour, lard, leather, &e.—footed
up $202,000,000; balance in favor of the
crippled South, $20,000,000. If the
South can be restored, so far as de
veloping her resources are concerned—
and no matter what the agent of that
development may be, black labor or
white labor—she is good for an export
footing of $500,000,000 annually.”
Suppose the people of the North,
their abolition war over, had spent
$1,000,000,000 in helping the South to
recover her powers of wealth-produc
tion, instead of making her the spoil of
adventurers who have disgraced the
whole land and nearly beggared the
country in general ? What a different
state of affairs would exist now! If
the finances of the Union are to be
saved, the South alone must be looked
to for salvation. Even the Republican
leaders are finding out their mistake of
dragonnading this fertile and useful
section. But their good inten
tions come too late. The people
of the United States have no more con
fidence in them than the plundered
creditors of Jay Cooke, Clews, Duncan,
Sherman & Cos., and Stirling & Aherns
have in dishonest bankers. The deter
miration is widespread and well nigh
universal among the masses to rid
themselves of party managers who
have been false to every want of the
country, and, through ‘whose insane
and devilish policy, white and black
alike, North and South, have been
reduced to the direst extremities. The
Democracy are looked to for relief, and
to them will be intrusted the task of
undoing Radical misdeeds, attempting
to set the wheels of industry in mo
tion, the cessation of unbridled cor
ruption, and a restoration, as far as
possible, of relations with the South,
which, after all, is the most essential
element in the fabric of a trife Re
public.
A Great Truth. —The New Orleans
Bulletin coincides with the view we re
cently expressed concerning Col. Mc-
Cardle’s proposition to pension Jef
ferson Davis. It concludes an able
article as follows: “The Federal Gov
ernment may make provision, by
pensions, for the disabled soldiers and
sailors of the navy and army of the
late war, as well as for families of those
who fell. The surviving sufferers and
the families of the killed upon the Con
federate side are equally meritorious,
but they have no Government to look
to for reward or recognition. Consoled
only by the memory of noble sacrifices
many thousands of these must finish
their days in neglected poverty, while
their sons and daughters grow up in
ignorance for want of means to obtain
education. The war left a hundred
thousand SQuthern orphans to struggle
with poverty, under such advice as
their widowed mothers can give.
There are, besides, a great many sur
vivors so crippled by wounds, or so
broken down by exposure, as to be un
able to earn a subsistence. If the im
poverished people of the South have
money to spare for the relief of those
who suffered, and who still suffer, will
they not begin with such as are in
greatest distress ?”
Arcades Ambo. —Scalawag Alcorn is
discharging his batteries, such as they
are, against carpet-bagger Ames. It is
the old case of pot and kettle. Alcorn,
who raised the black flag against Yan
kees during the war, turned Radical
immediately upon the close of hostili
ties. He then called upon the negroes
to “kick the Democratic stag to death
while he held that animal down by the
horns.” When Alco n ran for Gov
ernor of Mississippi, the stag afore
said, having survived that cuffing and
kicking, put a huge spider In Alcorn’s
pudding. He is a “dead duck” now;
and the Democracy will endeavor to
make Ames as politically defunct as
Alcorn.
Damages. —The colored Secretary of
State of Louisiana, Peter G. Deslonde,
has sued Peter Trisconi, a saloon pro
prietor, near New Orleans, for refusing
him a drink of soda water. Peter
says the refusal was of a nature to
cause him great mental uneasiness,
and that it was a public insult. Hence
the claim for SIO,OOO damages.
Your Bull and My Ox.
While the Mississippi riot has be
come a national affair, and one too
that threatened to pour U. S. soldiers
upon a comparatively peaceful South
ern community, accounts of Northern
outrages, of equal or greater signifi
cance, are passed by without any
special notice. Asa single specimen,
selected at random from a number of
the same sort, we call attention to
the following extracts from the Detroit
Free Press of the Bth instant:
Mrs. Harris, of Rogers City, arrived In
this city yesterday, and gives the follow
ing relative to the situation up the lakes:
Her husband, Dr. Simon Harris, has at
tended Albert Molitor since the attempt
to assassinate him, and is still earing for
his patient. Molitor’s condition is still
very precarious, .the several gunshot
wounds in his side having formed into one
large open wound, through which the
working of ono lung Is plainly visible. Sc
soon as it is possible to move him Molitob
will be brought to this city.
Shortly the assault on Molitor a
citizen fround a pair of shoes outside oi
Molitor’s store, which lodged suspicior
against a certain Polander. Tho next daj
the person who found the shoes was warn
ed that if he prosecuted investigation he
too, would bo shot, and a like promise was
made to Dr. Harris if he persisted in his ef
fort to save Molitor’s lifo. These threats,
were made by a body of about twenty-five
armed men, who congregated in front o '
Molitor’s store. Mrs, Harris states that
quite a number of citizens have left Rogers
City with their families, that others are
preparing to leave, and that business is al
most entirely suspended. A gentleman
named Rodier took the place of Mr. Moli
tor’s clerk, who was killed, and on the
fourth day after assuming his duties Mr.
Rodier was fired at four times, but fortun
ately was not injured.
The situation is represented as being truly
pitiful, the mob having complete control,
with Sheriff Frank Somers comparatively
helpless. The difficulty seems to be confin
ed to a number of Pomeranians who are
dissatisfied with Molitor’s business opera
tions, and who seem determined to get rid
of him. They have repeatedly assorted
that thoy would behave themselves if hi
would leave the country.
The Republican press, when their
attention is called to such trifles, admit
the dreadful condition of affairs in their
midst, but excuse their apathy on the
subject by declaring that Southern
rioting is political and therefore worse
than Northern riots, which are both
social and political. The fact of the
matter is, that this very moment, the
East and West are in more danger
from outbreaks than the South is. Th 3
only hope of rotten Radicalism,
however, is to keep alive the em
bers of tho war, to wave the bloody
shirt at the South and fan the flames of
religious fanaticism. A party that at
tempts to retain power by such demon
ism can hardly succeed, where the
masses are becoming impoverishec.
The voting majorities of this country
want peace and prosperity. They hav 3
tried Republicanism and find that the
results of the abolition war and the
war of Reconstruction are more peril
ous to the whito men of the North thaa
to the people of the South.
Jay Gould and His Newspaper Fraud.
It seems to be a fixed fact that Jay
Goitld is really the controlling proprif -
tor of tho New York Tribune. This
paper, being the organ of a man who is
the enemy of honest labor, a gambler
who nevor earnod an honest dollar i a
his life, has the cheek to say that “ th 3
election of Allen and Cary will open i
desperate struggle between tho friends
of ‘ honest money ’ and public credit,
and in the interest of advocates of sc -
cial and financial disorder and their
deluded victims.” To this chunk cf
wisdom, so-called, the New York Da j
Book replies: “ Was there ever a more
brazen show of Pharisaical villainy ?
Why, Jay Gould, the Wall street gam
bler, the owner of the Tribune , has
made his hugo fortune out of “ delud
ed victims ” and through “ financial
disorder.” Never in his whole life has
this man lent tho cause of honest in
dustry his help, to tho extent of on 3
dollar. On the contrary, his schemes
have entrapped many a poor devil who
had saved something by honest indus
try, and wrecked him, high and day,
on the shoals of Wall street specula
tion, hatched up and pushed on by the
infamous Jay Gould tribe ; and this
money-bloated rascal tells his man Fri
day to abuse, through Tribune edito -
rials, the rank and file of the Western
Democracy especially, gallant, grand
old Cincinnatus at their head, to the
very best of his villainous ability.” Wo
trust the victory of the “ Cincinnatus
of tho West,” old William Allen, will
prove a death-blow to Jay Gould and
his fellow pirates, as well as to Radical -
ism and all its works.
The Colob Line.— The New York
Day Book says it is essential, not only
to Southern but Northern safety to un
derstand that the “ color line ” is God’b
line, and tho Southern man or North
ern Democrat that ignores it, tries to
equalize with negroes or to abolish tho
distinction of race, deserves death £.
thousand times more than the lunatic
Abolitionist or the blind and foolish
negroes, who strive to escape it and
preserve themselves by getting back to
Africanism.
Armed Peace.— To “keep tho peace
of Europe” costs several millions of
men and hundreds of millions of money
The Workingmen’s Peace Conference
at Paris have passed a resolution de
nouncing “ the present armaments oi
the European powers as an intolerable
burden on the people.” The bloody
minded Kings will pay little attention
to this announcement. It takes a
special interposition of Providence to
get rid of men of “ blood and iron.”
Soft-Saweer.— I The New York Re
publicans, with George William Curtis
at their head, in Convention assembled,
have tried a little soft-sawder upon the
South. Mr. George William Curtis is
the editor of Harper's Weekly. His
true sentiments and the true sentiments
of his party may be found in that infa
mous sheet—not in a political platform
specially constructed to deceive the
unwary.
Hydrophobia. —A French medical
journal reports a cure by bromide of
potassium of a case of apparent hy
drophobia—hydrophobic symptoms in
a man who had been bitten by a rabid
dog.
Mississippi Troubles and tbe Admin
istration.
There is one singular feature of the
late rioting in Mississippi, and that is
the desire for non-interference upon the
part of the General Government by
both political parties in that State.
Except Gov. Ames and his clump of
advisers, neither Radicals nor Demo
crats were impressed with the idea
that a military occupation of the Com
monwealth was necessary or beneficial.
Ames himself seemed perfectly “flab
bergasted” at Attorney General Pier
repont’s leading questions. He did not
reply to them until Sunday night, and
then in a wishy-washy manner which
must have drawn down upon him the
contempt and maledictions of the au
thorities at the Federal Capital.
Had Attorney General Williams been
Grant’s legal adviser, instead of Pierre
pont, the call of Ames would have been
instantly answered by a despotic proc
lamation and a march of the legions.
But Mr. Pierrepont is made of differ
ent stuff from Williams, and we are
glad to see that his Influence over tho
President is as salutary as Mr. Wil
liams’ was pernicious. In one of his re
cent public documents, the President
did not hesitate to confess that he had
been misled by bad counselors, and
that to them alono he attributed his
mistakes in dealing with the South.
The Louisiana affair and the response
the public made must have convinced
him that the day of Williams and Mor
ton was over, and that’any further gui
dance by them would be a personal ca
lamity to Hence he dismissed
Williams and made a cardinal clfange
by calling Mr. Pierrepont into his Cab
inet. The wisdom of the Administra
tion, so far developed in this Mississip
pi embroglio, Is of a character which
deserves and should receive the com
mendation of all just men in the whole
Union.
It may be, too, that President Grant,
having received so many Joab stabs
from Republican leaders, in their dif
ferent State Conventions, is not, being
a pugnacious man, inclined to aid them
in their several schemes. It this way
he demonstrates his power, and, as
human nature is human nature, returns
blow for blow. All of this is a help to
the Democracy, and we trust that our
opponents will continue to antagonize
the Man of the White House, or the
Man of Long Branch, from this time
forth.
A Hint to Reformers.
[New York Times.]
It is pleasant to notice that Dress-reform
Conventions have attracted little attention
this season. Only ono gathering of tho
sort, of any respectability in point of size,
has been held, and of that the public took
scarcely any notice. This will naturally
discourage those curious persons who be
lieve that the emancipation of their sex
must be begun by flaunting the remotest of
feminine garments in the face of the pub
lic; but there is a bare possibility that it
will also suggest to them that their whole
crusade has been a mistake, and that the
woman who seriously wishes to better the
condition of her sex should mako war, not
upon tho feminino corset, but upon the
masculine shirt.
The Summer which :s just over has been
peculiarly hostile to the shirt and its neces
sary incumbrance, the collar; and heat
and dampness combined are tho deadly
enemies of starched linen. That the peace
of mind of men, both young and old, de
pends to a very great extent upon the in
tegrity of shirt-bosoms and collars we all
know, although the fast has not received
its due attention from scientific men. It
would, perhaps, be too much to expect that
the Weather Bureau, which now publishes
warnings to the agriculturist and the
sailor, should include tho care of shirt
bosoms among its duties. There is no
-doubt, however, that were we to be notified
hours in advance of “an approaching area
of depressed collars in the lake region,”
or of a probable “increased stiffness of
bosoms in the New-England States,” much
disappointment and misery could be
avoided.
But it Is not in its pronenoss to wilt un
der sunshine or in dampness that the shirt
is chiefly hostile to the happiness of wo
men. This weakness is, of course, a source
of domestic dissension since it leads to an
increase of “ the wash an evil which all
housekeepers agree in deprecating. It is in
its singular property of stirring up strife
between husband and wife that tho shirt is
especially reprehensible. No fact in “ so
ciology” is better established than that
the human shirt is tho fruitful cause of
disagreement. Were it a sentient being
endowed with superhuman malignity, it
could not work more evil than It now
manages to accomplish. No matter from
whom the shirt is obtained, it refuses to fit.
The man who purchases his shirts full
grown, of a professional shirt-fancier, and
tries to break them In himself, finds that
they never become tame enough to abstain
from wounding him in tender places. Sim
ilarly, he who prefers home-bred shirts
nevor succeeds In inducing thorn to discard
the inherent wildness and malignity of
their nature, and to render him obedient
and willing service. Tho shirt sheds its
buttons all the year round. It fights fierce
ly with tho, washerwoman, and emerges
from these woekly contests with abnormal
enlargements of button-holes, and with the
edges of its bosom frayed and unsightly.
We have tamed the elephant and made the
lightning our call-boy; but tho shirt is as
untamable and untrustworthy as it was
when, centuries ago, man first recklessly
undertook to bind it to his service.
Now, there is no sufficient reason why
the husband should visit tho offenses of his
shirt upon his wife; but tho fact that ho
doeseo is lncontestibie. Its refusal to fit,
its fondness for shedding buttons, and the
wounds which it receives in its conflicts
with its natural foe, tho washerwoman, are
all regarded as evklencos of neglect of duty
on the part of the wives. Tho soul of wo
maq revolts against this injustice, and the
revolt not unfrequently grows into a revo
lution and a declaration of independence.
To take away this domestic stumbling
block would be to secure for thousands of
women the substantial results of domestic
peace. Is it not, then, clearly a waste of
energy for dress-reformers to denounce
the harmless padding, and to pass by in si
lence tho threatening and malignant shirt!
How to so reform tho shirt as to render
it powerless for evil is a branch ol the sub
ject which it is not necessary at present to
discuss. Moreover, it belongs properly to
the exclusive province of the dress reform
ers. To work a reform In this direction
would be to accomplish something of ines
timable value to women and to men; and
the next Dross-reform Convention would
do well to abandon the trivial and myste
rious themes which have hitherto occupied
the attention of such assemblages, and to
grapple at once with a real and obvious
evil. .

TWO AND A HALF YEARS Experience
in Augusta, as a groceryman, gives
rise to many reflections In glancing ovor
the situation'here as we found it and as it
is at the present writing, 'i eas, Coffees,
Sugars, Flour, Soap, Spices, and in short
nearly ail the necessaries as well as luxu
ries of life, are now sold at a closer margin
than ever before.
The establishment of tho CHINA TEA &
COFFEE STORE, the Pioneer Cash Grocery
of Augusta, has changed the whole ruinous
system of buying goods on long credit, thus
paying twieo their value to keep some poor
merchant from ruin as tho victim of anoth
er dead beat. Look at the facts: In Sugars
I sell two pounds more for one dollar to
day than could be bought at retail of any
merchant In Augusta one and a half years
ago —and Sugars are higher nowin market
than previous to my advent among you.
I sell a better article lifty per cent, less
than was sold then, or oven now, as I am
prepared to prove.
My Toas are imported direct, and tho
quality is guaranteed, thus saving many
profits to tho consumer.
In Coffees, look also at tho change It is
no longer necossary to risk having this de
licious beverage ruined by tho experiments
of any would-be cook of the lire, as I have
a complete assortment of all grades, care
fully roasted by steam and ground fresh
on the premises, in any quantity to suit
the purchaser.
Revolutions never go backward! What
one year has accomplished another can im
prove and perfect; and I only ask, as a re
ward for laboring for your interests in the
past, that you should continue to cheer
and encourage me, and I trust the day is
far distant when any readout of Augusta
or vicinity will regret having made my ac
quaintance or of giving to mo their gener
ous patronage.
