®je ConslitntwniUist -A..: 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 ney Benton Socrates, but Pin-Back- 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 bling and a fight ensuod. The younger, a negro about eighteen years old, drew a knife, and ripped the abdomen of the other, causing death. The perpetrator of the deed has escaped. At the Thomasvllle Fair, a flno Singer sowing machine, valued at SIOO is offered as a premium for tho finest baby undor 18 months of age. The weekly press are still appointing Gol -lohnston Commandor-in-Chlof of the Khedive’s army. The Atlanta Herat i Is very anxious for them to get through with it, In order to start some other humbug. In tho rifle team contest at the Georgia State Fair, the Springfield army regulation gun will bo used. We have not seen the rules, but hope they include “off-hand” shooting.

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.
