Throwing Tubs to the Whale—A Veri
table Job’s Comforter.
The New York Herald keeps up its
paternal interest in both the great po
litical parties of the Union. It would
be hard to say how the scale of prefer
ence inclines, since the Herald has a
charming way of trying to please every
body and turn an honest penny as the
organ of those who want a weather
cock, no matter how eccentric. Still,
the great New York paper seldom fails
to make a sensation, and generally
mingles much wit with a deal of incon
sistency.
Just now, the Herald is twitting the
Republican party leaders with having
made asses of themselves since 1860, so
far ao their Southern policy is concern
ed. It is shown that the result of the
Sumner, Tiiad Stevens and Greeley
prescription has been the destruction
of the Radical organization, even in the
South. We quote: “In 1868-’69 it
ruled in every Southern State, and it
counted among its members a number
of eminent Southern public men aud
many thousands of Southern whites.
To-day it can count only on South
Carolina and Mississippi, and not
certainly on those. In the rest of
the cotton States the party is to-day
composed almost exclusively of the
negroes and the Foderal office-holders.
In Arkansas the Republican party has
been overthrown, and will hardly be re
organized. In Alabama it is hopelessly
demoralized. In Louisiana it was fair
ly beaten in the last election, and is
sustained to-day only by the Federal
power. In Georgia it is in a hopeless
minority. In North Carolina it has
squandered a large majority, and it is
doubtful whether it can recover its
ground next year. Even in Mississippi
and South Carolina, States which have
overwhelmningly large majori
ties, the party is in danger. We need
not speak of Tennessee, Kentucky, Vir
ginia or Missouri. In all the cotton
States the Republican policy has re
sulted only in arraying the mass of the
white voters against it. In Louisiana,
in 1874, not more than five thousand
white men supported the Republican
ticket, and these were the office-hold
ers and their friends. In Georgia, to
take another State, less than five thou
sand white voters belong to the Re
publican side; and again, these are
mostly Federal office-holders and their
relatives and friends.”
This is the Southern picture. The
rule or ruin party is not any the less
battered at the East and West. If the
office holders and negroes were elimi
nated from this faction it would die
by looking into a mirror—so hideous
and so shrunken is its aspect.
The Herald thinks it was wise in the
Saratoga Convention to speak softly of
the South. Wise, perhaps, but too
late. Such words would never have
been drawn from the Radical wire
pullers had not the whole country
turned against them, and had not men
clamoring for bread and work men
aced the architects of their country’s
and their own ruin with a tremendous
overthrow.
The Herald truly declares that the
policy carried out by Grant has not
only alienated the South but smashed
the Republican party. Alluding to the
displacement of Southern brains and
influence from power, it says ;
The administration since 1868 has united
them all in the same condemnation. It has
not asked their advice, or sought their
help, or offered public position and its ac
companying influence to any of them. It
has reserved all its places of trust and
honor in the South for strangers or for
natives of no political influence, and mostly
of no character. Now, suppose the Presi
dent, carefully watching the course of
events, the important changes of opinion
in the South, had seized the opportunity in
each of those States of offering, say two
years ago, important Federal appointments
to some of the really prominent and influ
ential men in it. Suppose he had chosen
from the foremost of the Southern leaders
one or two Cabinet officers, aud put upon
these and their political allies the work of
organizing a real Republican party in the
South, allowing them to put in the Federal
offices there such real leaders of the white
people as they would have known how to
choose. Of course he would have had to
allow to these Southern men a just and
large influence in his councils. They
would have altered his policy in many
important respects. They would have de
manded the repeal of the enforcement
acts; would have crushed the civil rights
bill; would have stopped Federal interfer
ence in local affairs, They would certainly
have turned out the corrupt men who have
robbed Louisiana and other States. But no
man can doubt that they would have suc
ceeded long ago in dividing the white vote;
in bringing permanently to the Republican
side in those States a large part of the
brains, intelligence and wealth; and this, iu
itself, would have insured peace and rest
for all, and absolute and permanent securi
ty for the colored people. The South has
been, for at least three or four years, ripe
for such a policy, and It is the gravest
blunder of the Republican administration
that it has utterly refused to recognize its
opportunity aud has continued to rule only
by harsh, repressive measures, by violence
and the exercise of brute force.
It may be said in response to this
that grave difficulties lay in the path of
Grant had he attempted such a pro
gramme. Very few, if any, prominent
Southern men would • have accepted
the gift of high office at his hands, and
the very offer of such positions to pro
nounced ex-Confederates would have,
some years back, placed the President
between the upper and the nether mill
stone. It may be admitted that ‘he
has killed his party; but how? We
answer unhesitatingly, by pushing the
Radical idea to an extremity and there
by showing to the country what the
doctrines of Wilson, Sumner and Gree
ley really are when carried into vig
orous execution. He entered office
with a pledge beforehand to obey the
ordinances of the men who made him.
He has done so, and Mr. Wilson need
not claim exculpation, when confronted
with the consequences of his own sin.
W are of those who believe that if
the Republican party is ready for a
rupture with Grant, he will accept the
challenge and make the work hot for
his rivals or would-be usurpers. On
this point the Herald remarks:
It is creditable to the Vice President s po
litical sagacity that he was the first among
the Republican leaders to perceive the seri
ous blunder which his party was making.
Of late we notice some indications that
other leading Republicans begin to see it
too. They are ready for a change; but
they do not know how to bring it about.
They are afraid of the President; and he is
not in the least afraid of them. Indeed, it
may be said that he has a genuine an I
scarcely concealed contempt for the Re
publican leaders. He does not advise with
them; he does not care to know what
they think; and for the present, as
during the war, he “fights it out on
the same line.” Meantime they praise
him in conventions and talk spitefully
about him in private. And if they are not
careful he will some day change his base
and leave them all “out in the cold.” If
he should suddenly determine on a radical
change in his Southern policy and make
conditions with the Democratic leaders,
binding thorn to give up inflation on condi
tion that ho would do justice in the South
and rout the robbers there, might he not
say that he had once more savod the coun
try from a grave danger; that he had
stepped into a gap which no one else could
fill ? It may be that he is incapable of such
a stroke; but he would not bo withheld
from it by feelings of affection for the Re-'
publican leaders, or care for their comfort
or future.
The fact js, no one can tell what this
Sphiox-like Man of the White House
will or will uot do. One thing is cer
tain : he is a fighting man. If his
quondam followers strike him, ho will
strike back with compound interest iu
every blow. The South may be acting
a wise part if she gazes upon both an
tagonists, and remembers that circum
stances may compel the one she deem
ed her bitterest foe to become her
friend, however reluctantly and with
whatever indirection. Grant, in carry
ing out Wilson’s theories, has killed
his party. Nothing should be done to
prevent him from burying the corpse.
A £oul Chimney Burning Out.
Since Mr. Nordhoff has contrived to
make out that the Reconstruction Acts
have very nearly, if not quite, reduced
the Southern States to bankruptcy and
degradation, he ought to roam around
Chicago and New York and tell the
country the truth about those trade
centres and how they like the “results
of the war.” Let us hear from this
man of facts and figures how many
men and women are out of employ
ment in the “prosperous” sections of
the Union; how many are toiling at
starvation wages and in daily fear of
losing even those; how much real
estate and other property has
shrunk; how very dull trade is
iu all branches ; how gigantically crime
stalks abroad in the “ land of plenty !”
As Balzac, the novelist, endeavored to
give iu his books every phase of French
life, Mr. Nordhoff might spice his “ro
mances founded on fact ” by drawing
a faithful picture of the East and
West as a complete offset to his South
ern charcoal sketches. Let him give
us the “ true inwardness ” of Tramp
land, and let us know how the mer
chants and clerks, and laborers of the
North feel about the Abolition war—
the war of Reconstruction aud “things
generally.”
To assist him somewhat, wo call his
attention to the following quotation
from a commercial report published at
Chicago, September Bth, 1875 :
The Buffalo Express says that notwith
standing the protestations of shipowners
at the beginning of the year that if freights
went lower than in 1871 they would not fit
out, nearly all the lake fleet have fitted out
sooner or later, and freights are now lower
than ever, as will be seen from the follow
ing statement of the average freight on
wheat and corn from Chicago to Buffalo by
lake, and from Buffalo to New York by
canal, for the month of Augustin the years
named: •
lake——. canal
Wheat. Corn. Wheat. Corn.
Year. cents, cents. cents, cents
1866 10.3 8.8 15.7 13.3
1867 5.5 4.1 13.7 11.7
1868 7.8 6.6 14.1 11.6
1809 5.0 4.8 14.0 12.0
1870 5.0 4 7 9.4 9.2
1871 6.2 5.7 11.8 10.8
1872 9.6 8.8 12.0 11.0
1373 6.5 5.6 10.6 9.6
.1874 3.1 2.1 9.0 8.0
1375 2.5 2.2 8.1 7.3
The average rate on wheat by lake last
month was over %c. below that for the cor
responding month in 1874, while the aver
age by canal is nearly lc. lower. It will be
seen by the exhibit that the ruling prices
this year are without a parallel. A freight
of 2% cents makes a very poor showing as
compared with 10-3 cents, the average for
August, 18C6. By canal the average last
month was only a trifle more than one-haP
of that for August, 1866.
Scores of vessels which went into busi
ness have again gone out of commission.
At Chicago the harbor Is so full of vessels
laid up that those in business find difficulty
in moving about from one dock to anothor.
A schooner, considerably above the aver
age as a -carrier, not long ago .was unable
to procure any kind of jf, cargo at Chicago
that would even pay her expenses down,
aud she came all the way through the lakes
to Cleveland flying light. Such a thing was
never heard of before. Another vessel
brought down a load of corn at l?ic. per
bushel. The contract was reported as on
private terms, but this ruinous rate was all
she got.
That tells its own story and is yet
only a faint illustration of the funeral
pall that hangs this day over New
Y'ork and Chicago. We believe the
Georgia farmers, on their old red hills,
are to-day much more secure of the
future than the people of the East or
West, and the developments of the
next twelve months will prove the
truth of this assertion.
Spoils of War.— The notorious
“ Brick ” Pomeroy has been lecturing
in Baltimore. Here is a specimen of
his talk:
He had said bitter things and bitter
things had been said of him. He had said
that there were cross-eyed generals in the
army, who with one eye looked for ambi
tion, and used the other to hunt for spoons
[Applause.! At Cairo he saw a coffin which
was supposed to contain the dead body of a
lieutenant in the army being sent home
for burial. The coffin was broken open by
accident, and it was found full of silver
ware stolen in the South. A piece of raw
meat was on the top of the silver, which
emitted the offensive odor expected from a
corpse.
That is a companion piece to the
story of a man who waited for a stove
to cool in order to steal it.
Augusta has provided free transporta
tion for her paupers from the city, and it
is said many of them are heading in this
direction. This is the poorest place in the
world for them, and we would advise the
poor creatures to stay in Augusta, where
they can fish in the river.—[Commonwealth-
Herald.
They are tired of fishing in the river,
and want to wet a line in your new wa
ter works.
Fall Trade. —The New York World
tries to think matters will mend, after
a bit. It says;
There is, indeed, no indication of a sweep
ing revival of trade with incidental flush
times in the near future, but what is per
haps better than the promise of flush
times, there is the certainty that the coun
try is steadily recovering from the collapse
of 1873, and that business is steadily getting
on its feet again. Buyers from the South
and West are already here in good num
bers, and though few of them made large
or extravagant purchases, most, if not all
of them are safe and valuable customers.
Single orders are comparatively small in
nearly every branch of trade, but they are
sufficiently largo to make a good if not a
brisk season. The most notable and by no
means tho least encouraging feature of the
business situation is the increase in the
number of buyers from tho South with
cash or good credit.
Wo are told by a gentleman just
from New York that he never before
saw such stagnation thero at this sea
son of the year. Ordinarily, on former
occasions, he found it a difficult matter
to get one clerk to wait on him. The
other day he was besieged by ten or
more. Buyers from the South may be
good customers, and doubtless are,
but they are very scarce and very pru
dent. New York is getting her dose
for furnishing men and money to ad
vance Puritan ideas and destroy the
South. The people of the North have
freed the negro and enfranchised him.
Behold the cost!
Pierrepont.— lt does not surpriso
us to learn that the Radical-Republi
cans “are laying ropes for a formidable
raid upon Attorney-General Pierre
pont. They find fault with him for the
deliberation with which he has pro
ceeded in the Mississippi affair. They
assert that he ought at once to have
advised compliance with Gov. Ames’
requisition for troops.” Every re
spectable man in the country, on the
otaer hand, praises Pierrepont for his
“wisdom, moderation and justice” in
the j lississippi affair. Wo see it rather
rashly stated that tho Washington
newspapers are organs of Grant. If
so, he has recently, through Mr.
Pierrepont, gone diametrically against
his so-called “organs.” We believe
the Sphinx, though ho does not take
the trouble to say so, has only one
organ, aud that is himself.
“Reform.” —At Edwards, which is
situated in Hinds county, Miss., tho
scene of the recent “outrages,” a very
large Democratic rally took place on
Saturday last, at which a large number
of negroes were present. They walked
in'procession with the white Conserva
tives and dined at the same tables. At
another meeting, in order to complete
the picture, the Democratic whites
should wait on their colored friends aud
help them to the barbecued hog, the
peppery pig hash, aud the soul-inspir
ing whiskey toddy.
De Puofundis. —The late Andrew
Johnson was wont to dwell with much
pride upon the fact that ho rose from a
City Alderman to be President of the
United States. Had he lived long
enough he might have retraced his
steps from a President to a Council
man. But A. J.’s record was not more
stunning than that of Pinchback. Here
it is: An ex-slave, a gambling house
porter, a faro dealer, an inmate of the
city Workhouse, subsequently an in
cendiary State Senator, and at length
the Lieutenant Governor and acting
Governor of the State.
Caution. —All our advices from Eu
rope and this country indicate that the
supply of first-rate wheat is very limi
ted. People who use flour should re
member this. It is much better for
our readers, for example, to deal with
millers at home whose reputations are
above reproach than take the chances
of having their health ruined and their
pockets not at all benefited by pur
chasing flour made from low grades
of Western wheat.
Meat.— The working classes of Eng
land do not get near as much meat to
eat as tho commonest toiler, black or
white, iu the South. Col. Donn Piatt
says the butchers sell it by the ounce
and only very rich persons can afford a
substantial chunk. What a country
this would have been had fools and
fanatics never stirred up strife where
none should ever be!
Damages.— The Nashville American
says “it is believed that Sam Randall
has been materially damaged in his
candidacy for the Speakership by his
failure to prevent the adoption of an
out-and-out greenback platform by the
Pennsylvania Democracy,” We should
think that would help Sam, if even
burnt brandy could do it.
Ohio.— Gen. Ewing thinks Allen will
be elected by at least 40,000 votes, and,
but for the Know-Nothing bugaboo,
the State would have been good for
60,000 majority. It is admitted by
many prominent Republicans that old
Uncle William is bound to win, but
they whittle his majority down con
siderably.
Apologetic.— lt is said that General
Sherman has written a letter to Col.
JohnS. Sutter appologizing for speak
ing of him in his memoirs as “tight”
on a certain occasion. He writes that
he has instructed his publishers to
substitute the word “enthusiastic” for
tiie word “tight.” Why not “tightly
enthusiastic?”
Consoled. —The St. Louis Globe-Dem
oci'at (Rad.) is preparing for defeat. It
consoles itself, however, with the re
flection that Republican newspapers
will have no end of sport criticizing,
abusing and spying out tho real and
fictitious weak points of a Democratic
Administration. When the Democracy
elect .their President, nobody will ob
ject to the rage of the heathen.
Wisconsin. The Chicago Tribune
guffaws over the fact that a “Conven
tion of the Democratic party in the
State of Wisconsin have adopted a
platform which is, as a whole, the best
and clearest expression of the senti
ments and opinions of the Republican
party that has been recently put forth
in any quarter.” No wonder the Trib
une laughs.

In the churchyard at Tollaqd, Cornwall,
8,000 bodies have been interned in half an
acre of ground. Repeated burials have
raised the soil till the church appears to
be situated in a pit; a horrible slime oozes
from the graves in the higher part of the
yard aud trickles upon the floor of tho
church; disinfectants have to be provided
for the bell-ringors, and on several occa
sions the congregation has had to with

William A. Beach, the lawyer, has
played seven-up with the teamed pig,
Bon, at Saratoga, and has been beaten. He
heard of the wonderfully trained brute,
and went to tho show tent fate at night,
when his party were the only visitors. Ben
was aroused from a sound sloop. They cut
for deal, Beach in the usual way, and Ben
with a sidewise poke of his sn >ut. The hog
cut highest and the lawyer dealt for him.
Beach passed, and Ben. after having his
cards shown to him, picked- up a bit of
pasteboard inscribed “Yes,” which meant
that he “took it up.” Iu that way the game
was played, the pig winning.
Not long since a Chicago lawyer brought
suit in a justice’s court on a clear and hon

of $l5O against tho plaintiff. The latter’s
lawyer remonstrated with tiro constable
who had selected the jurors, and more than
tinted at foul play. The con stable i elated
tho caso with refreshing frankness, iu those
words: “ I told Mr. So-and-So (the plaintiff)
that he could have a jury to suit him for
$5; ho wouldn’t give me a cunt, and I got
up a jury for the other side.”
In a conversation with a correspondent

the faith of the nation was pledge! to re
sumption in 187 G. He thought that meas
ure was “hasty, unwise and immaturo,”
and on the whole did not believe that a re
turn to specie payment was possible at the
date appointed. Judge Pershing is disin
clined to take tho stump to work for the
election of tho ticket which he heads, pre
fering to imitate Judge Belle, of New
Jersey, in quietly waiting to be called from
the Bench to the Gubernatorial Chair.
Philadelphia possesses ah old woman
who has for years been sick, whom a doc
tor offered to cure for three hundred dol
lars. This sum of money the woman was
unable to get, so the doctor informed her
that for one million cancelled postage
stamps he would effect the cure. The old
woman at once set about procuring the
stamps, and, it coming to tin eaig of the
boys and girls of the high scb.ool in Mana
yunk and Germantown, they began to help
in the attainment of this much desired ob
ject. One girl lias already nanded over
thirteen hundred, and others are even
ahead of that figure. The one million
stamps, when collected, are to.be pasted on
a pedestal and exhibited at the Centennial.
So says the ingenious paragraphist, who
has not reflected that one million postage
stamps would about cover oho side of a
pedestal 110 feet square.

Cotton Worm Destroyer!
A Sure and Safe Remedy for the Destruc
tion of the
CATERPILLAR.
IT DOES AWAY WITH THE USE OF
Paris Green and all other poisonous ar
ticles; is more effectual, less dangerous,
and much cheaper than any article ever of
fered for sale. Having been extensively
used in'Texas during (he past year, is said
to be by some of the best planters in the
State the only article ever used that will
entirely destroy the CATERPILLAR with
out injury to the plant. It is easily applied
and no danger in its use, costinci only
about 25 cents per acre. For particulars
as to price, &c., apply to

Retrospective and Congratulatory.
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 aud as it
is at the present writing. ’l eas, Coffees,
Sugars, Flour, Soap, Spices, and in short
nearly all the necessaries as well as luxu
ries of life, are now sold at a closet margin
than ever before.
The establishment of the CHINA TEA &
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 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 retailor any
merchant in Augusta one and a half years
ago—and Sugars are higher now in market
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 the 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 anothor 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.
