dl)e Constitutionalist.. AUGUSTA, QA.: Wednesday Morning, Sept. 15, 1875. Financial Disaster—lts origin. If anybody imagines that we have seen the end of financial disasters, let him be undeceived at once. What has caused the failures of the past few years and what will cause the failures of the future? Primarily, the abeli tion war and its results, superadded to the insane Reconstruction acts, may be saddled with the whole burden of complaint. The “results” of these wicked measures are now being made manifest to those who, at first, seemed to profit by them. The North was en riched, after a fashion, by the inter state conflict, and the South tem porarily ruined. Luckily, the South had considerable cotton on hand, in 1866, and it commanded an enor mous price. That saved this section for the time being from absolute and irretrievable bankruptcy. Our people bought lavishly and the North was seduced into granting unlimited credit. Both sections were deceived by the condition of affairs. The New Orleans Times, in an admirable article, pictures the consequences: “Planters whose credit had been good before the war, found no'difficulty in procuring on their reputations as much money as they wanted. But the plant ers had miscalculated. They over looked the fact that the [money made before the war on cotton planting was not the yield so much of the cotton crop as the slave crop; the cotton cul ture being merely an accessory to keep the slaves from idleness. Many plant ers, too, were unable to get satisfactory labor from the negroes under the new condition of things. Numbers of them could not pay out the first year, but secured extensions to the next. But at the end of that year they could do no better, and then came the crash among them. Their lands were seized and thrown upon the market; but there were hundreds of sellers and few buy ers, and the value of lands went down to nothing. A general depreciation of values followed. The merchants could neither get anything for the planters’ lands nor for their own city property, for the same reason; everybody wanted to realize at the same time. Their Northern creditors came down and closed them out, but were very little if at all benefited, because they could get nothing for the property they had levied on. This brought the Northern creditors into trouble, which under or dinary ciscumstances, they could, per haps, have tided over. But the South ern difficulties had paralyzed the Southern demand. .Manufacturers, in anticipation of that demand, had made up large supplies of goods, and dealers laid in heavy stocks, neither of which could be sold.” The bubble burst in 1873. The whole fabric was one of rags and lampblack, and down it tumbled. The South had been reduced to the last gasp by her enemy, but S.AMSON-like, she has drawn the pillars and the dome of the com mercial temple down with a crash, which will, eventually, hurt her betray ers and tormentors more than she has been injured. Unlike Samson, she will presently emerge from the ruin and recover her ancient Tstrength. The North thought she could hack at, worry, wound and almost kill the South, without corresponding paralysis in her own limbs and vital organs. Never was there a greater delusion. No doubt there will bo distress here finan cially, and men who run big steamboats with small boilers will go to the wall, by an iron logic and necessity, for he who spends more than he earns must at last go to perdition commercially, the world over. But the general con dition of this section is sounder than the general condition of either the East or West, and it is penetrating the minds of even the worst fanatics, that the South is the bulwark of the Union against national bankruptcy. We have seen the worst; our brethren beyond are yet to see it. Third Parties —A Wise ‘‘Lunatic.” There is a studious attempt upon the part of Radical journals to convict Vice-President Wilson of insanity or senility—all because he is so charm ingly frank in predicting Republican disasters. The truth is Mr. Wilson is much more sane now than he was years ago, when he had a bad case of “nigger on the brain.” W T e have al ready given, from time to time, certain of his Delphic utterances, and here is another which displays a sagacious and healthy intellect. Speaking of the at tempt to form parties outside the great organizations of the day, he says: ‘■This building up' of third parties is not generally the work of practical men. There are perhaps seven mil lions of voters in our country; the actual majority of one party over the other is never above a few hundred thousand. You see what a narrow shelf a third party has to occupy. Take the Republican party, which had such a remarkable career on the des tiny of men. I was one of the callers of the Philadelphia convention. We tried to stir up the people on the main issues of conscience, but at last we had to triumph by bringing about a fusion of the native Americans, the Republi cans, the Free Soil Democrats, etc., thus dropping to a much lower plane for our triumph. Even then Lincoln had to come in by a plurality instead of a majority. Now, Greeley’s oppor tunity was unparalleled to make anew party by the consent of an old one, yet he failed, and broke his heart.” If that solid presentation of great truths is an evidence of lunacy, it.is a pity that the rampant Radical editors are not inoculated with the same views. Kite-Flying.— The New York Herald , anticipating the success of the anti contractionists in the Democratic party, thinks Grant must be trotted out to lead the hard money host. Well trot him out. Harper’s Weekly, which ought to know, says he is the weakest candi date before the people, and, if the Radi cals are to be beaten, the people would a little rather whip Gbant than any pther man. Touching a llaw Spot—How Candid Radicals Love Foreign-boi*n Citi zens. On the first day of the Industrial Ex position, at Cincinnati,Rev. Mr. Scheme, evidently a Republican Bloodhound of Zion, thus spoke : England learned long ago that real growth was by expansion, and so by cen trifugal energies she had advanced to ter wide reaches of prosperity. And this is the great lesson for us to learn. The peo pling of our vast areas of territory is tut a preliminary process. In fact, we are in grievous error when we afford too gn at facilities ior immigration. My patriotism is not chilled by the present reduction in the number of those who are seeking citi zenship and a livelihood within our bor ders. I had rather have Utah a howling waste for the next half century than to have Utah populated with the de luded victims of the Mormon i.m poster. I had rather have New York an American city, with half its present popu a tion, than a city governed, as it is for the most part, by the voting power of those wdio exercise the franchise in ignorance, or prejudice, or superstition—a city where there are more Irishmen than in Dublin, more Germans than in Hamburg, more Jew's than in Jerusalem. I heartily fax or a m iderato and honest immigration. It 1 as had much to do in making up the material greatness of the land, and especially has it proved a blessing to Cincinnati. But I hid rather have your acre of machinery than a million of political Ninevites, w'ho, in the duties of American citizenship, “can not discern between their right hand and th dr left hand.*’ To romantic patriotism it may be well for us to be an “Asylum for the Nations.” But the Genius of Ai#eriea does not propose to superintend an asylum, but rather to work out the great problem of civilization through intelligent industry. When the Republican party wanted soldiers to fight the South, especia ly substitutes to protect native American carcasses, no words were too honeyed in speaking of the Germans and the Irish. But see how beautifully the Know- Nothing sentiment crops out even at an exhibition of industry, in a city, too, which has been, to a great degree, built up and made prosperous by the very men who are thus insulted. All this tallies with what a New York Re publican told us at the end of the war. He said : “ We do not like the negro, but we want his vote. We want his vote to offset that of the damned Dutch and Irish.” Now, the foreign-born citi zens, who did so much to “ save the glorious Union ” may put that in their pipes and smcke it. Evangelists—Good Fare a Necessity. • The new evangelists have evidently practiced what Dr. Talmage teaches. They believe that generous fare ma res a good brain, and a tough beefsteak, badly cooked, may lose a battle or spoil a sermon. A correspondent of the Northern press thus describes the men who are agitating the religious as well as the irreligious, world : “ Prof. Bliss and foaj. Whipple, like Moody and Sankey, are said to be of a cheer ful and sociable disposition, and their general make-up is hardly what one expects to see in men whose whole life seems to be devoted to rescuing man kind from the terrible vortex of sin and perdition. They are of splendid phy sique, both of them not less than six feet in their stockings, with keen black eyes, and their faces covered with a handsome, flowing beard of the purest jet. It is doubtful, if in the whole country, four finer-looking men could be collected. While there is nothing specially sanctimonious in their appear ance, it is at once clear that they are thoroughly sincere in their chosen work.” We believe that all good an gels circle around the amiable, sun shiny man, in or out of the pulpit; and we further believe that much of the gloom that makes some pious people insufferable bores and unwholesome guides proceeds more from dyspepsia thau anything else. We heartily ap prove of the reverend clergy having the best of fare scientifically cooked. A bad stomach, broken down by ill-pre pared food, is next to aj bad conscience and puts a man in.daily peril of losing his soul. We could dwell upon this theme with unction, but forbear. An Oddity. —ln one of his letters from Europe, Donn Piatt describes Moncure D. Conway, who has a religion of his own, which is in complete antag onism to orthodox Christianity. Piatt says “Conway is a Virginian by birth and education, and opposed the late Southern Confederacy with all his might. A Virginian who would go against Virginia under any circumstan .ces is a man who would not accept Christ, the twelve, or the miracles, or aught else that did not address his in tellectual individuality. A man of sin gular originality, of decided genius, a pure character and undoubted earnest ness, he has but two weaknesses :.one a belief in Conway, and the other that humanity can be benefited by knowing the truth ; and hence he goes up and down making arguments, all of which is very tiresome.” Yes, he is a brilliant man, but a Hoosac tunnel in the way of being a prodigious bore, when he spouts of “the religion of the future.” He was not the only Southerner of ;al ent who forsook his section. The dead liest blows the South received were from Thomas, the Virginian ; Johnson and Farragut, the Tennesseeans, and Lincoln, the Kentuckian. Behold tt eir work! Saratoga. Commenting upon the Republican platform adopted at Sara toga, New York, the Sun says : The platform is wordy, and generally commonplace, but has two or three signifi cant points. It denounces the third term plot in explicit terms. Some of the dele gates dosired that this might be otherwise; but the tide was too strong to be resisted. The Catholic school question was drawn in, but without any provocation; and the loud cheers with which that plank in the plat form was greeted only prove that a party on the brink of destruction will grasp e’-ren at a shadow to break its fall. The fact is, the Radical party has one hope alone of carrying the country, and that is by stirring up the masses against the Catholics, just as they stir red them up on the subject of negro slavery. It has been a party of agi ca tion, war, blood, internecine strife, rob bery, pollution and crimes against the social order. The last shot in its look er is Know Nothingism, and that vail fail, because the people want peace and not the sword—especially the sword of religious bigotry and intolerance, come from whatever source it may. Michelet.— Persons who read books generally form exaggerated or very ludicrous ideas as to the real “ make up ” of authors. This has been well exemplified in the following anecdote : Writes a Paris correspondent: “I shall never forget what a very witty and bril liant literary woman once told me about Michelet. She said that after reading his book on ‘Woman’ she had the most intense and enthusiastic admiration for his char acter. She fancied him a man of mighty and energetic ways and imposing presence. So when she went to France she made all speed to call upon him. She found him a lean and scrawny old man, curled up on a sofa, and requiring his wife’s constant at tention.’’ If anybody should judge Mr. Ste phens by his writings alone, he would pfesent the ideal of a man who could take John Morrissey by the eye-brows and swing him up to the finial of the Capitol dome at Washington. The American Grocer.— We are in receipt of a copy of the regular semi annual extra edition of the American Grocer, a 32-page trade journal, pub lished weekly at 141 Chambers street, New York, for §4 a year. The Ameri can Grocer has won a deservedly high place among commercial papers by the fullness and accuracy of its market re ports and prices-current, embracing all kinds of merchandise and country pro duce, as well as for its bold and suc cessful advocacy of trade reforms in the interest of honesty and fair dealing among merchants. It is proving an invaluable assistant to dealers through out the Country in giviDg them inform ation concerning qualities and prices of goods. This excellent paper keeps, as standing matter, at the head of its columns, in very prominent type, the following words of wisdom: “Count, measure, weigh and gauge everything you buy.” Joe Johnston. —Alluding to the ca nard about Gen. Johnston and the Khe dive of Egypt, the Washington Capitol says: “The soldiers of fortuue in the days of Quentin Durward were not the highest type of man, and now, in the light of advanced civilization, the pro fession of arms is elevated only when it is allied to true ■'patriotism. The Khedive hires his soldiers as the Sul tan selects his eunuchs, and puts them where they will do the most good. This is all very well in an Egyptian ruler. The selection of Gen. Johnston is a recognition of his great ability, but his acceptance of the appointment will reduce him to the rank of one who hires his sword to the highest bidder.” We are rejoiced to learn that Gen. Johnston never had any intention of “ hiring his sword.” Self-Protection. The newspapers are poking fun at Mr. Joseph Whar ton, who wrote a book on “National Self-Protection.” As he practices what he preaches, this is the way a Western free-trade journalist goes for him : “He is said to own the only nickel mine in the country. The anxiety he shows to have the manufacture of nickel pro tected would be touching if it were in spired by the heart or head, instead of the pocket. As it is, Mr. Wharton de voutly believes in protecting the fa vored few, quorum magna pars est, at the expense of the masses. If he ex pects the latter, he must speak of them as T. Sterry Hunt did, when he said ‘the masses’ were ‘them asses.’ ” Money.— The hard money men jeer at the anti-contractionists that there is no end of money for loaning in the Eastern States, and ask the South and West why they do not come and get it. The Nashville American, speaking for that section and for all others outside of the New England and Eastern States generally, says: There is no money here that can be bor rowed by producers. It is all loaned on gold stocks or bond collaterals, or on strictly commercial paper at sixty days. There is plenty of money, but, as a candid New Yorker confessed, it takes the Lord for an endorser to draw it out of bank. Pennsylvania.— The Baltimore Ga zette confesses that the contest in Penn sylvania will not be on the currency, but on the question of reform, that is an onslaught upon the Radical Eing publicans. It says : “ A ring the most debauched and corrupt that ever had existence has one hand on the throat and the other in the pockets of the Commonwealth. The thieves are even now sacking the State Treasury, and insolently stand at its doors and hold the people at bay. The money of tax payers is being used by the robbers to carry the coming election and perpetu ate the Cameron dynasty.” Gold.— The New York Herald attri butes the rise of gold to the Pennsyl vania Democratic platform, which op poses farther contraction of the cur rency. That is a miserable sham or subterfuge to bolster up a sinking cause. The Financial Chranicle, on the contrary, traces the rise in gold to a bull gold clique, and not to active money or politics. The boars are to be squeezed, we are told. Of course, the Wall street gamblers can use the Erie Convention as a pretext, but grasshop pers and Western floods would have done as well, a month ago. Milliners and dressmakers have sent more husbands and wives to the divorce courts than all other human beings com bined. They are the great sowers of do mestic unhappiness.— [New York Times. Then thanks to the milliners and dress makers. If they can keep foolish women from being wives and mothers the race will eventually improve.—[4B. Louis Dispatch. It comes down to poetry, after all: Big fleas have little fleas To bite ’em, And little fleas have lesser fleas, And so, ad infinitum! Gladstone.— Old Thomas Carlyle says Mr. Gladstone is“ much worse than a mere politician, for he always aci s the politician with the wisdom of a statesman.” We dare say Mr. Glad stone could give a fearful pen-portrait of Mr. Carlyle. The Sparnick Case. —The Aiken Courier-Journal learns that when the jury came in and reported “no bill” in the Sparnick case, they stood seven for a bill and seven for no bill. Four were mute, refusing to say yes or no. So the end is not yet. PERSON,.

TWO AND A HALF YEARS Experience in Augusta, as a groceryman, gives rise to many reflections in glancing over the situation here as we found it and as it is at the present writing. 'Jeas, 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 the CHINA TEA A COFFEE STORE, the Pioneer Cash Grocery of Augusta, has changed the whole ruinous system of buying goods on long credit, thus paying twice their value to keep some poor merchant from ruin as the victim of anoth er dead beat. Look at the facts: In Sugars I sell two pounds more for one dollar to day than i ould be bought at retail of an v merchant in Augusta one and a half year’s ago—and Sugars are higher now in mai ket than previous to my advent among you. I sell a better article fifty per cent, ‘less than was sold then, or even now, as I am prepared to prove. My Teas are imported direct, and the quality is guaranteed, thus saving many profits to the consumer. In Coffees, look also at the change.—lt is no longer necessary to risk having this de licious beverage ruined by tho experiments of any would-be cook of the fire, 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 resident of Augusta or vicinity will regret having made my ac quaintance or of giving to me their gener ous patronage.
