Sunday Morning, September 19, 1875.
"Honorable Men.”
In an editorial under the above head
ing, the Washington Chronicle, of the
14th mst„ discourses as follows:
The editor of the Augusta (Ga.) Constitu
tionalist, is either blessed with a very short
memory, or very Ignorant of tho history of
his country. It may be that he is troubled
with both Infirmities, if bad memories and
a want of information can be denominated
infirmities. For instance, speaking of the
Democratic party ten years ago, it says:
“During the forty years It ruled the
United States, there was nothing dishonor
able about it. Its statesmen were honorable
men, who never stooped to peculation,
who never violated the principles of the Con
stitution, but governed in strict accordance
irith law.” The editor is evidently a youth
of immature years, or he would not put
forth such a statement. A little oven ten
years ago, these honorable men—states
men of tho Democratic party—holding
-seats in the Congress of the United
States, under a constitution which
they had solemnly sworn to support and
maintain, were holding secret, nightly con
claves, devising moans to destroy that in
strument and the Government erected
upon it, and in the day time, sitting in tin*
National Capitol, voting against ovory
measure designed by the loyal representa
tives of the country, to protoct and defend
that constitution. These are the honorable
men, whom the Constitutionalist now pro
poses to restore to power, and who are
commended as men who noyor violated
the principles of that sacred instrument,
but governod in strict accordance with
law. But the people are neither so Igno
rant, nor so forgetful; tho conduct of these
honorable men, and the result of their
work, are too deeply engraved upon
the hearts of those who suffered, to be so
soon lost sight off, and until memory
ceases to perform its office, or the Ameri
can nation has lost all admiration for pa
triotic deeds, these Democratic statesmen
will never bo restored to power in this
Union. The Constitutionalist may impu
dently advise the Republican party to dis
band, and boast of the anticipated success
of tho Democratic party in the future, if it
finds that enjoyment useful or amusing,
but it will realize, when the polls close in
the groat contest of 1876, that the people of
tho nation have sustained tho national
principles of the Republican party, and
placed its candidate triumphantly in the
Presidential chair.
Now, in reply to this tirade of the
Radical organ at tho Federal capital
against the Constitutionalist, without
discussing the questions wliether a
“short memory” or “the want of infor
mation can bo denominated infirma
ties,” or not, wo propose briefly to
maintain tho correctness of “our state
ment” however “immature in years”
we may be held in the estimation of
this oracle of Centralism and Empire.
Wo stated in substance, and again
maintain, that no violation of the Con
stitution was over perpetrated by
Southern statesmen during the whole
period that the administration of the
Federal Government was under their
control. If so, let the instance be
named, We affirm and again repeat
that “Southern statesmen wore
honorable men ” and “ never vio
lated tho principles of tho Con
stitution.” If this statement be
not true, let Its error in any act of
legislation bo specified by the aged
and venerable oracle at Washington. It
will not do for this advocate of Cen
tralism—this would-be undermincr of
the Constitution and the principles
upon which it Is founded—and which
Southern statesmen ever maintained—
to say that these Democratic states
men, “ honorable men,” “ a little over
ten years ago wero holding secret
nightly conclaves, devising means to
destroy that Instrument and tho Gov
ernment erected upon it, and, in the
day time, sitting in the National Capi
tol, voting against every measure de
signed by the loyal representatives of
tho country to protect and defend
that same Constitution.” Assertion
is not proof. Wo utterly deny
that Democratic statesmen, either from
tho North or South, ever met in any
such secret midnight conclave or over
held counsel for any such purpose. If
there wero any " honorable men ” In
Congress about that time, who, with an
oath upon their lips to support the
Constitution, openly and confessedly
proclaimed to tho world by their votes
and their speeches that they would not
do it, they certainly belonged not to
tho Democratic party either South or
North.
If Southern statesmen in Washing
ton, a little over ten years ago, took
counsel together, either by day or by
night, was it not to devise means, if
possible, whereby the principles of the
Constitution could be preserved and the
Government erected upon them perpet
uated and not destroyed, after Mr
Sumner, Judge Chase, Mr. Seward, and
all the Radical leaders had openly de
clared they would not stand by the
Constitution as it was? We ask an
answer on this point from our contem
porary.
In a formor article the Washington
Chronicle spoke of the Supreme Court
of the United States as tho Constitu
tional arbiter on all questions affecting
the Constitutional rights of States as
well as citizens. In reply to that arti
cle, we asked that an instance be named
where Southern statesmen had ever re
fused acquiescence in the arbitrament
of that Court, either before or since
the war. No response has yet been
made tb that request. We now put
the direct question again to the Chron
icle : If Mr. Salmon P. Chase, who, “ a
little more than ten years ago,” was a
Radical Senator from Ohio, and after
ward Chief Justice of the United
States, did not openly, in behalf
of: himself and party, declare that
neither he nor his party would abide
by the decision of this august tribunal
in their chief matter of controversy be
tween the Democracy and the Central
ists in the United States? Did he not
expressly declare that they never
would perform their Constitutional ob
ligations in the matter of the rendition
of fugitives from service? If, then,
Southern Statesmen held consultations
at Washington, either by day or night,
as to the best means of securing and
perpetuating the principles of Govern
ment as established by the Fathers,
was it not after such open avowals of
these “honorable men” of the Radical
party that they would not carry out or
abide by the obligations of that Consti
tution which they had solemnly sworn
to support? Whose memory Is short
here? We state the immutable facts of
history. Wo do it barely to vindicate
the “honor” of Southern statesmen.
The exciting questions of the days of
“ten years and a little over” have
passed away. We have no disposition
to revive them, and repeat to our con
temporary that we do not intend to bo
drawn into a discussion of their merits.
They have nothing to do with the
issues of 1876. But we are perfectly
willing for the impartial men of this
day and generation, as well as those of
generations to come, to decide who were
the more “honorable”—those men who
swore they would support tho Consti
tution and afterward openly de
clared they would not, or those
who with like oaths sought new
modes of preserving tho Constitution
when it was openly violated by their
faithless confederates! If dishonor
attaches to bad faith, then wo think the
less our contemporary at Washington
says upon this subject tho better for
the cause of his party. Such, at least,
is our judgment; and such, we think,
will bo tho judgment of posterity.
Whatever may be said or written of
the Southern cause, Its merits or de
merits, or of the wisdom with which it
was conducted, one thing ut least we
feel proud of, and that Is, that, since
colonial days, the honor and “good
faith” of Southern statesmen have
never been tarnished, and we trust
never will bo, the imputations of the
Chronicle to tho contrary notwithstand
ing.
Blood Upon tlie Moon—The Latest
Wounds to Honor.
Following hard upon the ridiculous
“ affair of honor ” between two St,
Louis oditors, we hear of other chal
lenges to mortal combat which show
that journalists and moralists can no
more, by their tirades, stop the pro
gress of dueling than they can prevent
the wearing of tho tic-back by lovely
woman.
It seems that E. R. Boissat, editor of
the Alexandria, La., Democrat, has
made some ferocious assaults upon
the notorious J. Madison Wells, who
is one of tho curses left by Radical Re
construction to torment an afflicted
people. Tho aforesaid Wells stood
theso attacks as long as human nature
permitted, and Anally, driven to despe
ration, eat down, and, with death In
his heart, indited tho subjoined
epistlo:
New Orleans, La., August 24,1875.
Mr. E. 11. Boissat, Editor of the Louisiana
Democrat:
Sir—You have used the columns of your
newspaper, the Louisiana Democrat, during
and since the robollion, to calumniate and
villify me.
You have continued your courso of vini
fication up to tho publication of your last
paper, on the 18th inst.
I presume you are prepared for the issuo
it must necessarily bring about and end if
continued. That neither of us shall bo mis
taken as to the nature of the conflict, and
its certain termination, I take this method,
as a notification to you, that should my
name be used in connection with any im
proper remarks through the columns of
your newspaper, the Louisiana Democrat,
the sequel must bo tho taking of my life by
you, which, with positive proof, you have
meditated for years.
I send this, a registered letter, that it
may reach you, and 1 know you have re
ceived it. I have retained certified copies.
Tho alternative is with you. I want no
advantage. Respectfully,
J. Madison Wells.
Now, that kind of a misslvo means
business. The editor to whom It was
addressed, no way terrified, publishes
the gory document, and says : “ For
the present wo shall forbear further
comment, assuring our people that wo
shall be patient and watchful undor the
threat, but with the sacred pledge that
the Democrat shall continue in tho even
tenor of its ways and strive to maintain
its position to tho bitter end.”
What the issue will be time must de
velop. Mr. Boissat is a French Creole
and therefore no coward. If ho punc
tures Wells again in his paper, ho
must prepare to fight, and, although his
irate antagonist is a very old man, he
is said to boa peppery and determined
individual. Wo await results.
In New York they manage these
things differently, as tho sequol will
prove. A candidate for dueling noto
riety is one Dr. E. J. Stevens, who mar
riod a clairvoyant. A Mr. Geo. Langue
lette, a soap factor, defamed the son
of Esculapius, and was tho recipient of
tho following defiance to mortal com
bat :
Hicksville, August 30th, 1675.
Mr, George Languelette :
Sir—l understand from Good Authority
that you have been defaiming my character.
I grant you the privilege of chosing between
Long and Short Boards or pistolls and the
time and place you will meet me with your
second Waiting a reply I remain
E. J. Stevens, M. D.
This fras a shorter letter than that
of J. Madison Wells but equally ex
plicit. The New York Times furnishes
us with tho consequences flowing from
the challenge, thus:
As tho law of tho State makes provision
against the sending of such missives as the
above, Languelette rosorted to that
remedy. Ho made complaint before Justice
Titus, who Issued a warrant, and Dr. Stev
ens. after considerable searching, was found
and arrested late on Tuosday evening at
No. 472 Canal street, New York. He at first
refused to accompany the officers, saytng
that they would have to take his dead
body; but he was finally handcuffed and
taken to Hicksville, and yesterday, upon
arraignment before the Justice, waived an
examination and was committed to the
Queen’s County Jail, at North Hempstead,
to await a hearing before Justice Chifp, of
Oyster Bay, to-day.
Truly, that was an ignoble termina
tion to so much valor; and the Jiigh,
but ungrammatical, spirit of Dr. Ste
vens must revolt at tho vulgar pro
ceeding of a soap-boiler who adds In
jury to insult. Perhaps it would do J.
Madison Wells a world of good if Jus
tice Chipp, of Oyster Bay, were to car
pet-bag to New Orleans, and, assuming
judicial functions, haul that venerable
gladiator before his Court and make
him the inhabitant of the calaboose un
til such a time as his ardor should cool,
or else put him under bond and securi
ty to pas the few remaining years of
his life gunning for snipe and wood
cock, instead of unhappy editors.
South Carolina.— That excellent and
faithful paper, the Anderson Intelli
gencer, commenting upon the disgrace
ful complications at Charleston, thus
speaks: “The reason for this anomal
ous condition is an utter want of or
ganization among the Conservatives.
A compact, efficient and thorough or
ganization would bo able to dictate
terms to the wrangling Republicans,
and maintain good government.. In
stead, there is the humiliating specta
cle of largo numbers dangling at the
tails of the respective factions led by
Bowen and Mackey, while the main
body are utterly hopeless and helpless.
It is a deplorable fact that whenover
these coalitions are made by the Con
servatives, no one can be found who is
responsible for tho result, and good
people are made to drift Into them
without knowing the consequences of
their own action. Supineness and
apathy produce just such results, and,
oven when divided among themselves,
tho Republicans aro always sufficiently
organized and drilled to take every ad
vantage of tho straggling Conserva
tives, who are made to do the necessa
ry voting, while their political oppo
nents reap the solid rewards.”
A Radical Rout.— One Root, who
used to share the blanket and fleas of
old John Brown, when ho stole horses
and murdered men In Kansas, writes
to tho Washington Republican a letter
In which he advises the negroes to
doeds of blood and violence. Tho
editor endorses this infamous counsel
and says: “Tho rowdies and their
leaders, like Lamar, are jointly res
ponsible for theso repeated outrages
upon Inoffensive colored citizens.”
And yet, the editor of tho New York
Herald thinks it monstrous for good
men to pray to God Almighty that a
speedy end may bo put to the Radical
Administration ! In tho face of such
things, wo think a universal prayer, in
and out of the pulpit, to that effect,
would not be the worst sf sins.
Nordiioff. —Tho Columbus Times has
this good hit:
Charles Noiidhoff says Georgia is not
properly a planting but a manufacturing
Stato. We think lie will change his mind
if ho will take the trouble to find out tho
number of bales of cotton producod by
Georgia and those States whieli aro “plant
ing States,” according to Mr. Nordhoff.
If Georgia were not a great planting
Stato there would bo precious little
need for manufactures.
Omo.—Uncle Williae Allen has
been too busy making spoeches to have
his shirts washed, for several weeks.
Ho is as fresh as a sky-lark and confi
dent of victory. Tho 'old man weighs
more than ho did in the beginning of
the canvass and fools much stronger.
He advises the newspaper reporters
who attend Republican! mass meetings
to carry a microscope.
The Art of Lying.— Spoaking of the
reports wo get from Turkey, the New
York Herald says :
The picture that presents the revolt as
without importance is not to be trusted;
neither is that an accurate statement which
represents it as sweeping everything in its
path.
Has Baron Munchausen taken pos
session of tho wires ; or has Jay Gould
a pile of Turkish bonds?
The “Organ.” —Tho Washington Na
tional Rejmblican, after rabidly assault
ing Mr. Henry Wilson, is now foaming
at the mouth with rage against Gen.
Grant. Parties who have hitherto be
lieved that the Republican was the
President’s organ may make a note of
this. Tho Sphinx has no organ. We
doubt If any human being can confi
dently predict his future courso.
Geo. Francis. —And now wo loarn
that seven years ago George Francis
Train camo very near being mobbed in
the streets of San Francisco for saying
in one of his speeches that the people
of that city would live to seo tho Bank
of California collapse in a single day
George is mad methodically.
Barkis. —ln a published letter, Mr.
Charles Francis Adams, who might
havo saved Sir John Franklin the
troublo of hunting tho North Pole,
mildly and arctically consents to bo
made President of tho United States.
P. B. S.—The New Orleans Times
says Pinchback’s “trimmings” are not
Percy Bysshe Shelley, nor yet Pinck

Skirt.
Mr. S. Bobo, agent of the South Car
olina Manufacturing Company, has
just completed a sale of 3,000 acres of
the Rolling Mill proporty in Spartan
burg county, including the shoal, mill
site, &c., to “The English Manufactur
ing Company.” This company will
sub-divide the land into tracts of six
acres each, and sell to English and
American settlers, men of small capi
tal, who are also to take stock in tho
company. Steps are already being
taken to erect a lumber and saw mill,
and machine shops, preparatory to
building. The company own somo
14,000 acres of land adjoining the tract.
Dr. G. W. Garmany, of Newberry, as
sisted by Dr. John M. Thompson, of
Silver street, successfully transfused
four ounces of blood into tho arm of a
nogro man by means of the Aveleigh
transfuser. The* blood was taken from
the veins of tho patien’s son. Tho pa
tient, who lives at the place of Mr.
John Spearman, Jr., in Newberry, was
in a state of collapse and pulseless. In
a short time his pulse returned, and it
is now full and regular. The operation
was performed several days ago, and
the patient Is doing well.
A negro was killed by another at n
turpentine distillery, near Orangeburg,
on Saturday last. The two were gam

a negro about eighteen years old, drew

of the deed has escaped.

MISCELLANEOTJ S.
Retrospective and Congratulatory.
ITWO AND A HALF YEARS Experience
in Augusta, as a grocoryman, gives
rise to many reflections in glancing over
the situation here .as we found it and as It
is at tho present writing. 'leas, Coffees,
Sugars, Flour, Soap, Spices, and in short
nearly all tho necessaries as well as luxu
ries of life, are now sold at a closer margin
than evor before.
Tho establishment of tho CHINA TEA fc
COFFEE STORE, the Pioneer Gash Grocery
of Augusta, has changed tho whole ruinous
sys'.em 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 (ould bo bought at retail of 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.
M.y Toas are imported direct, and the
quality Is guaranteed, thus saving many
prolits to the consumer.
In Coffees, look also at the change.—lt is
no longer nocossary 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 roastod by steam and ground fresh
on tho 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
iar distant when any resident of Augusta
or vicinity will regret having made my ac
quaintance or of giving to mo their gener
ous patronage.
