©je Constitutionalist. AUGUSTA, GA.: Saturday Morning, Sept. 18, 1875. The Maine Election and Its Results— What will Grant Do? The Republican papers, through their arithmetical editors, predicted that Maine would give “an old-fash ioned majority ” for their desperate party. Well, the “old-fashioned ma jority,” on a very large vote, did not come to soothe the troubled souls of those political worms. Indeed, it is now surmised that had the undaunted but often-defeated Democracy of Maine only known how very strong they were, and how very demoralized their opponent, we should have had an old fashioned majority on the side of anti- Radicalism. As it is, the Democracy nearly won the day, and it took all the personal power of Mr. Blaine and the backing of the Central Government at Washington to keep the State in line. Such victories will be the forerunners of defeat. If Ohio and Pennsylvania repudiate Republicanism, as we fondly hope, even Maine, in the Presidential contest, may catch the enthusiasm and reverse the verdict of more than twen- ty years. There is one feature in the result of this canvass and election which is worth dwelling upon, and that is the complete snubbing Morton and Blaine received wherever they waved their “ bloody shirts.” In Portland where the ex- Speaker’s ensanguined undergarment flapped in the breeze, like a Commun ist’s red rag in a gale of wind, the Democrats scored a majority of 115, against a Republican majority of 163, last year. In Bangor, the home of Hamlin, the Republicans lost 900 votes and surrendered to the Democracy. No doubt Morton and Blaine confidently expected that an exhibition of the “ skinned nigger ” energetically backed up by Gov. Ames “ outrages,” made to order, would rally the masses and make them roll up the “ old fashioned majority.” But the sequel proved that these politicians, both of whom are hankering for the Presidency, are blind to the true temper of the times, and grievously miscalculated the effect of “ played out ” campaign thunder. Even the New York Hei'cild, which is so busily engaged just now in pointing out the chinks in the Radical armor, puts in this keen thrust: “Mr. Blaine, it is said, sent for Senator Morton to shout ‘Murder !’ in the Maine woods; but the people were not scared; even the ex-Speaker could not frighten them. Perhaps this will teach some of the Republican politicians elsewhere a little wisdom. The Northern people seem to have made up their minds that the war is now finally over; that the negro has had, on the whole, a very fair chance, and must k henceforth take care of himself; that he is abundantly able to do so, and only needs to be let alone to get on as well as anybody else. “The Maine election, following the Democratic victory in California, is dis heartening to the Republicans. Its effect will be felt in Ohio, Pennsylvania and this State. The people are tired of old cries and of appeals to their fear of the Democratic party. The election this fall cannot be carried by the beat ing of gongs. That begins to be very plain.” In days of prosperity, fictitious as it may have been, nothing so roused the Republican masses as slanders against the South, especially on the negro question. But the day of prosperity is over and that of hard times has come. What do Maine farmers, merchants and mechanics care for the colored people when they behold their own misery ? They are beginning to dis cover that money spent to ruin the South and her industries has been worse than squandered ; that it has, in point of fact, gone to make sure their own decreptitude and bankruptcy. They begin to understand that Radi cal domination is costly, not only to the South but to themselves. So long as it affected us and did not touch them, it paid to vote that party in power; but the Maine men, many of them, are hes itating on that subject, and, next time, they will probably help hurl from au thority the Blaines, the Mortons, the Wilsons and the Grants, who have abused their trusts and made even clam-bakes an exasperating extrava gance. Doubtless, thousands of voters will be turned in Ohio from Hayes to Allen by the dubious victory in Maine. Fellows on the fence, with a keen scent for the winning side, will jump toward the Democracy, not only in Ohio, but in all other States. It is said, too, that the wise men of the Republican party regard this com parative failure in Maine as a death blow to Mr. Blaine for the Presidency. Eaton, of Connecticut, last year, gave the ex-Speaker his first great check, and now the coup-de-grace is adminis tered at home. It is foolish to fight against the su pernatural and equally so to contend against a people who have been re duced to financial and moral ruin by a party in power. As the Wash ington correspondent of the Balti more Sun says, “all history show3 that when the pressure of hard times is upon the people they rebel against their rulers. In monarchical countries they can bo put down by the bayonet, but in the United States, through the silent agency of the ballot box, they dethrone their rulers. A leading Dem ocrat said that next year he expected to see the same popular rising, only a great deal more so, which drove Mar tin Van Buren out in 1840. The idea gains'much strength that Gen. Grant will be brought forward as the hard money candidate and that he will have the combined support, as in 1872, of what is called the money power of the country. But it is not ex pected that he will win, what ever platform he may accept.” The conflict is narrowing down at last between the people and the money rings. Luckily the people are in the majority, and have not yet been yoked to the chariot of C.esar. If Gen. Grant wants to wind up his career as the worst-whipped man ever known in - American politics, and pass the bai | ance of his days in chewing the bitter cud of bafflod ambition and the con tempt which always follows it, let him head the hard-money bond-holding Rmgr-publicans and prepare to be sent whirling out of the White House. In old days, Sylla, after dealing deadly blows at the heart of his country, and enjoy ing a long triumph, voluntarily aban doned power and did not await tho turn of fortune’s tide. It is true that he afterwards gave himself up to such debauchery that the grave worms in fested his body before death; but Gen ! eral Grant, admonished by the past fate of successful men, should be con tent with two terms, leave the deluge to somebody else, become temperate in all things, and “fling away ambi tion.” He has been one of the luckiest of men; let him beware of the rebound. A Raving Editor.— Because a New Jersey Jesuit priest is reported to have, very much out of place we think, “ publicly denounced the Administra tion and asked God to hasten its end,” the New York Herald says : If anything is calculated to make Gen eral Grant the next President of the United States it is declarations like this and from men of this calling. Once draw this lino in politics, once throw out the slightest inti mation that it will be for the interest of tho Order of Jesuits or the Roman Church that General Grant shall bo defeated and we shall have such an uprising of the Protest ant sentiment throughout the East and West as will compel his re-election. It d<>es seem as if those who should feel the deep est interest in the defeat of President Grant are by some malign influence con spiring to make his nomination inevitable and to give his re-election every prospect of a certainty. There surely never was a luckier man in our American politics. If one foolish, but enthusiastic, priest, can make Grant President for a third term, he is a much moro import ant man than anybody supposed. It would be a sad day for the United States if any rash person, lay or clerical, Christian or Pagan, Jew or Gentile, could draw such a line as the Herald raves about. It can not be done. We think the overwhelming as piration of this country, outside of theological hatreds, is that God may hasten the end of an administration which has proven such a curse to th e people of all classes and all creeds. No sect should be judged by the indiscreet utterances of one of its miuistry. How would any of the denominations fare if this were the case? Bigots and fa natics exist in and out of the pulpit, in many places, but the masses of this country who have been ruined by Grant and his party are not going to allow a New Jersey Jesuit or a New York Herald editor to draw any insane line that will continue in authority the causes of all their woes. Ames.— The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, a Republican organ, thus riddles Ben Butler’s son-in-law : “If the Governor i3 unable to maintain his authority ; if, with all the prestige of possession, all the influence of patronage, all the or ganization of power and the support of law-abiding citizens, he is still unable to command obedience or to enforce the law, then let him step aside and wholly withdraw until the central au thority has finally succeeded in doing that which he has failed to do. It can make but little difference to auy one but himself when a man who is nomi nally a Governor, but really a cipher, is compelled to realize the existence of that impotence which he has admitted; and the direct relegation of an anarchic State to military subjection would have many advantages. It would remove auy suspicion that the Governor had had any improper motive in invoking the bayonets, since he would thereby unseat himself, and it would certainly bring about a speedier settlement of the difficulty. The old maxim, inter arma ’ silent leges, expresses a very deep-reaching truth; and infantry, bayonets and injunction of courts are things which do not mix well, but which mix so badly that either one of them is preferable to both. If we are to have the bayonets, let us dispense with the Governor; if we are to keep the Governor, let us see if we cannot do without the baynets.” Why Not? —Justly denouncing the farcical manner in which trial by jury is conducted in some cities, the New York Times grimly says: “It is, per haps, too soon to look for the general adoption of the system of professional juries. Still, there is no doubt that we are approaching the time when to be a professional juryman will be a recog nized and profitable business. We have had professional bail for many years. Professional Judges, who practiced their profession to make money from private litigants and grasping corpora tions, have ornamented the Bench. Why should we not have professional jurymen also? It would only be one more step in the direction in which our courts of justice in certain States have of late years been advancing.” At last that humble coin, the penny, Is being recognized in Georgia. The leading houses in Columbus have ordered a keg full sent for trade purposes.— St. Louis Democrat. We hope the time is not distant when pennies shall freely circulate in Georgia, as they do at the North. Rents have fallen, salaries have been cut down, securities have shrunk, trade is dull, merchants are blue, but the price of a soup-bunch in the market is still ten cents! Sherman. —And now Gen. Boynton returns to the charge and claims that Sherman has pleaded the baby act, and was not writing history but only amusing himself. If Sherman’s deeds were only amusements to him, old Nick will some day present the serious side of that question. • Outside of New Jersey, bats are said to destroy mosquitoes; but the Jersey mos quito thinks nothing of taking half a dozen raw bats to whet his appetite for his hu man supper.— N, F. World. No bat has any chance down here— either bull or base ball. While real estate is depreciated, and with no money to hire labor to till the soil, how can taxes be paid -how can interest on any kind of bonds be paid?— Nashville Ame rican. And when bonds themselves disap pear, what then ? Clam-Bake Catastrophes—Fred Doug lass Rampant. Unwarned by the fate of Pietro Yiani, who ended a dramatic display by suicide, after eating baked clams, Frederick Douglass, the well-known quadroon, has delivered himself of much bile under precisely similar cir cumstances. He was one of the great powers called upon to help roll up the “old-fashioned majority” in Maine, and seems to have failed as dismally as Morton and Blaine did. Here is his clam-baking harangue: I come here, he said, not so much to make a speech as to be seen of men. I have been assured that it was necessary to have at least one negro at this show. I know nothing of the great financial question. What can I tell you of an economical ad ministration? What do I know of national honor? Not only a negro but formerly a slave, never having had a day’s schooling, it is a wonder that I can say anything to you. I know nothing about banking, though once the President of a bank. I know nothing of currency, though one thing I know—that this is no longer a slave country, that no slave can be seen in this land from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof. The bloody stress of the war is now overhand tho black man is free. Tho country is safe unless by your votes you give it back again into the hands of that party which nearly led it to de struction. I come before you to make an appeal for my race, over which a great danger impends. I know the effect of a Democratic triumph, and I beseech you to shelter us from the storm. The colored people of the South, in case of Demo cratic victory, apprehend their utter ex tinction. All the malign elements of the old rebellion are being stirred np in the South and they propose to drive us forth as Spain drove forth the Moor. They tell you enough has been done for the negro. I tell you all you can do for the next fifty years will not atone for the wrong and op pression of two hundred years. The He brews took jewels away from Egypt; Rus sia gave lands to her serfs. But the four millions of slaves had no jewels and no land. They were turned loose among a peo ple which hated them. The old master has said, “let them die.” And they did die, thousands of them. But despite neglect and destitution they have increased. We ne groes are a permanent part of the countr y. Who are the black people who ask your protection ? They were the only loyal peo ple to be found South of “Mason and Dixon’s Line” during the war. Affliction taught appreciation of us when tho front of the loyal army was melting away like snow in early Summer, when the recruiting ser geant was marching up and down your streets foot sore and weary, calling for young men and strong women to go to the front and fill gaps made by rebel powder, when every village in the North was drapod in weeds of mourning for your sons. When the fate of the country trembled in the bal ance you called upon this class. Abraham Lincoln— Father Abraham— called and we came full two hundred thousand strong and with our strong iron fingers clutched the musket, and side by side with you marched upon the ramparts of the enemy and gave victory to the Republican party. We are now exposed to the hate generated by chagrin that this people caused the de feat of the Confederacy. We entreat you who know something in the world dearer than questions of currency or party, to stand by and save us a few years more un til the old rebels die out and we have a chance to present ourselves to hands un stained by treason. Mr. Douglass did not show the Maine Radicals a negro, for he is a quadroon. His confession of imbecility on several important points, however satirical, was modest and refreshing, especially as to banking —hi® connection with the freedmen in the biggest swindle of the kind ever known being proof positive that he can escape the charge of knavery only by the plea of invincible ignorance. It is true that there are no negro slaves in this country, but Mr. Doug lass must know that there are many thousands of poor, white desperadoes, once Union soldiers engaged in freeing negroes, who are now outlawed and branded as “ tramps.” It may sound oddly to Fred Douglass, but wo do as sure him that, under existing circum stances, an overwhelming majority of Southern men would not have the blacks as slaves, even by a mandate from “ these headquarters.” Where have the negroes prospered as they have in Georgia—Democratic Georgia ? Where can they depend upon get ting justice more surely, in spite of gross provocation, than in Democratic Georgia ? When this man says that the old planters, as a class, turned their ex-slaves off to die, though these ex-slaves were engaged in the nefarious attempt to fasten upon the South the most accursed system of despotism and robbery ever recorded— when he makes such a slashing and wholesale charge, he lies in his throat. It is true that the unfortunate blacks were not given by their old masters either houses or lands, any more than they were given forty acres and a mule by the men they voted for, but the great sum accumulated by them was infamously stolen, not by Democrats, but by Radicals; and Fred Douglass, either by folly or rascality, helped to make the fraud worse than it would otherwise have been. Again, why did not scalawag and carpet-bag rogues, who profited by negro votes, share the spoil of the Southern Egyptians ? Did they make such a division ? Never! A few black rogues in some of the States have prospered in the reign of corruption, for a little while, but the masses of the colored people are worse off to-day than they were in the days of slavery. The danger of the colored people now and in the future does not and will not come from tho “rebels;” and Douglass may eat unlimited clams and rave like a lunatic, but the country at large has made up its mind that the most alarm ing enemy to white and black is the the Radical monster with whom he is joined as to a destroying idol. Tilden. —The New Yorji Times thinks Governor Tilden has “fixed” the party in his State to suit his own purposes. Well, we hope he has fixed it so as' to non-suit Radical purposes. The mode of punishing a criminal in Thibet is rigorous, slightly. They bury him to the neck in the earth so that all movement is impossible, keep his mouth forced open with a spike, and then drive all kinds of horrible insects to take refuge in the mouth, ears and eyes.

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 boat. Look at the facts: In Sugars I sell two pounds more for one dollar to day’ than . ould be bought at retail of any merchant in Augusta one and a half years ago—and Sugars are higher now in market than previous to niy 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 lias 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.
