C£|c Constitutionalist 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. . The Boston Advertiser has applied the Golden Rule to meteorology. It says: “The weather just now is du bious, but it is not such a dubious as wo would be done by.” PERSONAL.

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.
