AUGUSTA, GtA..-.
Tuesday Morning, September 21,1875.
CURRENT TOPICS.
The Cuban Rebellion—lt Will be a
Success.
It is patent that the Spaniard is obliged
to depart from Cuba. The war which has
been going on there for seven or eight
years instead of weakening has strength
ened the Insurgents. They now muster a
real disciplined, arrred and equipped army
of 10,000 men, are masters of all the interior
of the Island and are gradually encroach
ing upon the territory yet held by the
enemy. It seems to be their policy to wear
out the Spaniard. Each batch of fresh troops
sent out from the old country are either
killed in ambush, open combat or fall vic
tims to the climate. They win nothing.
They seldom gain even a temporary ad
vantage. Spain has from time to time
sent out her ablest Captains and Generals,
who, upon arriving at Havana, invariably
issue a bombastic pronuneiamento giving
the rebels a short time to come for
ward lay down their arms and re
ceive the guillotine. To which not the
slightest attention is paid, unless it is a bold
dash into the Spaniards and the striking
down of an exposed post or marching
column. Spain has not had a war with any
of her Western colonies in the last one or
two hundred years without losing. The
Spaniard is a weak, imbecile, ignorant
fanatical fellow. He would have been in
harmony with the world live hundred years
ago, but the world has precious little use
for him now. He neither imports nor has
anything of any account for sale. He
never wrote but one book—“ Don Quixote”
—which traveled over his border. In his
study we find out how depraved a man can
get, but look in vain for anything noble,
generous, or in the least worthy of a civi
lized man’s imitation. He is too bigoted
to even adopt the useful inventions of other
nations, but go there to-day and you will
find everything—ideas, literature; govern
ment, religion and implements—Spanish.
1 here is not the slightest inducement to
an outsider to live among such a people.
Unless her colonies are content to live in
habits of five hundred years ago. they must
get up a revolution and throw off the in
tolerable yoke of the mother country. And
this mother country has no inducements to
offer them worthy of acceptance.
Cuba is a glorious island: It has the
richest of soils and a splendid climate. Un
der any other people on this green earth it
would have been a paradise by this time.
The very first duty of the Democratic Pres
ident which we wiil elect next year will be
the full and free recognition of Cuban In
dependence, and the permission to private
individuals to help them in every possible
way consistent with existing treaties. A
reinforcement of seven or eight thousand
men under Gen. Fokrest would soon rout
the Spaniards from the island, se.tie the
whole difficulty, and end in either a protec
torate or annexation.
“ Cannot be Carried by Beating of
Gongs."
The New York Herald says: “The Maine
election, following the Democratic victory
iu California, is disheartening to the Re
publicans. Its effect will be felt in Ohio,
Pennsylvania and this State. The people
are tired of cries and appeals to their fear
of the Demoratie party. The elections this
fall can not be carried by the beat ing of
gongs. That begins to be very plain.”
Which means that the Haunting of bloody
shirts has played out. The people of this
country are now demanding bread and
meat, not as the Communists of Paris do
without an equivalent, but a revival of
trade, work, employment by which they
can earn a livelihood. They are sick unto
death with the cry of negro protection,
‘V ivil Eights,” “rebels,” “yankees,” “trai
tors," “glorious principles of the Constitu
tion,” ‘ free press,” “civil and religious lib
erty.” A bushel of which would not pass
in the market house for a beefsteak for
their hungry families. They see as plainly
as daylight that nobody is making a decent
living except office holders, Federal, State,
County Ihid Municipal, and the bondhold
ers who must have their interest paid in
gold whilst the laboring man is paid off in
paper, when he has any labor to do, which
is not often. Farners, manufacturers, mer
chants, and mechanics are either working
at a dead loss or barely paying expenses.
And yet we are told wo must continue the
party In power which brought all this on the
country—keep them in office—keep up their
plans—cling to their ideas! Grant and
his Congress, Butler and the rest, must
be put back. They have not done with re
venges upon the South. A few more darkey
rights are yet unsecured, a few more old
rebel chiefs need special legislation, need
to be looked after.
“The Report of That Maine Gun.”
The Boston Traveller, of Saturday, re
viewing the prospects of the Maine election
of Monday, remarked: Even now, t'.iough
anew generation has come upon the stage,
there is a vigorous contest going on, and
while all are aware of what the result will
be, the interest felt in that result is great;
and the returns will be read, three days
hence, with lively feelings in all parts of
the nation. The men who live on the banks
of the Sacramento and the Oregon will
peruse with gleefulness or glumness, ac
cording to their political views, accounts of
what was done on the banks of the Kenne
bec and Penobscot. “That’s the first gun
in the next Presidential election!” they’ll
say, and, by St. Jonathan! what a loud
Republican report it makes! Just like
Maine, though—just what every one ex
pected ! No change there!
We heard that report—just did. It was
the faintest sound we have heard lately.
There was just enough powder to roll the
ball out, and that ball fell at the muzzle.
It did no execution. The gunners are in
great doubt whether It is worth while to
attempt to shoot it again.
Letter from Henry Clay.
Henry Clay seems to have had an in
stinctive knowledge of the danger of mak
ing agricultural speeches at Fairs,
and he was never Winnebagoed. The fol
lowing letter, written by him in 1835, has
come into possession of the Evening Bulle
tin, of Montgomery, Ala.:
Ashland, Aug. 19.1835.
My Dear Sir: I received your favor of
the 14th inst. I have had a strong inclina
tion to be present at your Fair in October,
and intended to go if I could; but you
alarm me about a speech. I really cannot
consent to make any, much as I am flatter
ed and honored by the request of the man
agers. 1 think I have made speeches
enough during my life, if I never make
another, which I am strongly inclined
never to do. If you will let me come over
among you and be at my ease, like any
other farmer, 1 think it possible I will
come. But if lamto be exhibited, scrutin
ized and commented upon, like the other
beasts of the show, I protest solemnly I
wi and not budge a foot, but remain quietly at
home. J
I am your friend and obedient servant,
John Green, Esq. U. Clay.
\ almaseda finds it a very difficult matter
to raise tht $1,000,000 from Spanish subjects
in Cuba, for the purpose of paying for the
ti ansportation and sustenance of the new
troops he expects from Spain. He has
turned the screws on everybody who has
uu> monej in Havana, and now has made
anew levy of 25 per cent, of every man’s
fortune, under a penalty of exile and se
questration. Many hitherto warm sup
porters of the Madrid government have
become disaffected at the tyranny of the
Captain General, and have declared them
selves in favor of insular independence. A
number of these gentlemen have been im
prisoned. The end draws near.
LETTER FROM ATHENS.
Resumption of School Duties—Lively
Scenes—The Educational Institutions
of Athens—Prof. Leroy Broun—Bus
iness Revival.
[Correspondence of the Constitutionalist,]
Athens, Ga., September 15th, 1875.
Our city has emerged to a certain
extent from her chrysalis condition
of the Summer and begins once
more to wear the garb of activity.
This is the time of year when the
reckless little renegades, having
made things lively in their families
and households for the past two
months, by their perfect freedom and
unrestrained gayety, sorrowfully search
on dusty shelves for those terrible
school books, and with heavy hearts
prepare for the great campaign of the
coming session. Yes, all over our State
the work is commencing and the season
for the germination of the young idea
is at hand. Especially is this noticea
ble in Athens, where good schools ex
ist In abundance, and our streets are en
livened with many little faces as they
come and go. Perhaps, though, in the
language of the inimitable Mrs. Mc-
Stinger, “we say it as shouldn’t,” Athens
surpasses all other places in Georgia
in an educational point of view. Her
climate is excellent, society highly re
fined, and her schools have been her
pride and boast as long as she has
existed. And the people of Georgia
are beginning to find it out, too, for
the marked increase of boarders at the
Lucy Cobb Institute and the Home
School proves this unalterably. “Why
will Southern people ignore Southern
colleges and patronize Northern insti
tutions” is a question which we will not
here repeat, for, like that centennial
orator who lustily inquired as to the
whereabouts of the heroes of ’76, we
can expect no immediate answer.
And again, this class of people who “go
back” on home seminaries is sensibly
diminishing. Y\ e are especially glad to
see that Augusta is so well represented
at our schools, there being eight or ten
young ladies from your city who are
now with us. The University of Geor
gia opens on the 6th proximo.
The rumor that Hr. William Leroy
Broun, President of the State Agri
cultural College, and Proffessor of
natural philosophy and astronomy in
the University, has resigned, has
proven but too true. He has accepted
a chair in the Vanderbilt University.
This is a great loss not only to the
University, but to the State at large.
Hr. Broun has been here about eight
years and has labored untiringly for
the interests of the College. He is a
thorough business man, eminently
practical and has a good deal of “go
a-headitiveness” about him which is so
essential to the educational depart
ment of Georgia. He is well known
throughout our entire State and is
identified not only with the education
al but also the agricultural interests of
our people.
Personally Hr. Brown is short in
statue, rather stout, movements quick
and nervous, and carries upon his
shoulders a two story head with mass
ive overhanging forehead, uuder which
are set two clear, blue eyes, which, to
use the language of one of the stu
dents, “go right through you. Asa
disciplinarian he is excellent, and is as
well up iu his profession as any man
probably iu the United States. His
statements are clear and succinct, his
manner forcible and his reasoning solid
and convincing. Though a strong ad
herent of fact and very exact iu every
thing, yet when aroused or worried up,
his imagination is as lively and as fer
tile as we ever marked in any one.
Had Hr. Brown been properly treated
by the Trustees or had he sufficient in
ducements, in all probability he would
remaiu in Georgia, but such not being
the case, we are not at all surprised at
the steps he has taken. Intellect will
go where it is most valued and appre
ciated, and in the Halls of Learning as
in the mechanic’s workshop, the “La
borer is worthy of his hire.” Mind
that the University of Georgia does
not lose more of her great men.
Athens in point of trade is look
ing up. Cotton is beginning to
come in and a fresh impetus is impart
ed to business. There are a good
many improvements being made in the
way of buildings &c. Hr. Carlton, of
the Athens Georgian, will shortly com
mence his daily paper. There is neces
sarily some risk attendant upon this
uew undertaking, but as Athens is
growing in wealth and importance the
prospects are that she will be able am
ply to sustain a daily. The Augusta
papers are now a credit to their city,
surpassing, in our opinion, those of
any other city in Georgia. They are
very popular here and justly so.
The failure of John J. Cohen & Sons
created considerable surprise among
our business men. The firm was
looked upon as a very safe and strong
one, and nobody dreamed of their sus
pension; but it seems that these days
everything is uncertain and there is no
telling who will go next.
The Augusta Convocation
of the Protestant Episcopal Church
was opened last night by an excellent
sermon from Rev. W. P. Kramer, of
Augusta. Revs. Mr. Weed and Clark
are also in attendance.
The Northeastern Railroad, which
has been heretofore an imaginary line,
starting from Athens and running
somewhere up in North Georgia, is in
a fair way to be completed, we hear.
Work will be immediately resumed,
and as the grading is finished, all that
now remains is to lay the iron. We are
confident that if the directors will go
energetically to work with a view of
building it immediately they can do so.
PICCIOIiA.
Hold Your Head Up Like a Man.
If tho stormy winds should rustle,
While you tread the world’s highway,
Still against them bravely tussle,
Hope and labor day by day;
Falter not, no matter whether
There is sunshine, storm or calm,
And in every kind of weather,
Hold your head up like a man.
If a brother should deceive you,
And snould act a traitor’s part,
Never let his treason grieve you.
Jog along with lightsome heart;
Fortune seldom follows fawning,
Boldness is the better plan,
Hoping for a better dawning,
Hold your head up like a man.
Earth, though e’er so rich and mellow.
Yields not for the worthless drone.
But the bold and honest fellow,
He can shift and stand alone;
Spurn the knave of every nation,
Always do the best you can,
And no matter what your station,
Hold your head up like a man.

Bismarck wrote to his wife in July, 1851:
“The day before yesterday I went to Wies
baden, and looked with a mixture of sad
uess and premature wisdom at the scenes
of my former follies. If only it would
please God to fill up with clear strong wine
the vessel in which at twenty-one the mud
dy champagne of youth frothed up to so
little purpose l * * * How many of those
with whom I flirted and drank and gam
bled are now under ground! What changes
my views of life have undergone in the
fourteen years that have elapsed since that
time, each in its turn seeming to me the
correct one; how much that I then thought
great now appears small; how much now
seems honorable which I then despised!”

CARD-CLOTHING, Etc., Etc.
Kitson’s Patent Compound Opener Lapper.
THE cotton is spread on this machine from the bale, and Is made into a very even
lap, at the rate of 300 to 400 pounds per hour. The laps are then finished on a
TWO-BEATER LAPPER,
WITH
KITSON’S PATENT EVENER
Attahed, and owing to reccont improvements in this Evener, tho laps when ready for
the card, only varies one quarter of an ounce to the yard. The cost of picking by this
system is only about one mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house is
safer from lire than the card room. ~
aa-There s ah o a great saving of room and power over the old system.
These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langley Manufac
turing Company, and altho best mi is at Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, Manchester
Lewiston, Providence, Richmond, Baltimore,etc*., etc.

Langley, S. C., April 14, J 873. f
The Kitaon Machine Company, Lowell, Maas.:
Gentlemen: r nave been running your system of Compound Opener Lappers and
Finisher Lappers, witn Eveners, for more th in two wars nart. at the Cotton Mill of tno
Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the most satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, we have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Ovor forty per
cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its securty against fire. , . _ ,
Yours, &c., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
