al]c Ccmsfituticmnlist AUGUSTA, GA-.Z —■ * Thursday Morning, Sept. 23, 1875. All Old Ghost Revived. The Ohio campaign has brought out of the grave old Ben Wade, and he is hobbling about trying to scare the far mers and the babes at nurse. He made a speech the other day, in Ashtabula county, and, having “surveyed the whole field, in the light of history,” has come to the conclusion that the strug gle now going on between Allen and Haves is one of the most important over known. After stating that truism, which did not require a ghost to come from the other world to establish, he pulled out the “bloody shirt” —loaned by Morton for the occasion—and wav ing it furiously, said: Last year the contest was decided against the old Republican party. What is the re sult? In she Southern States eighty Con i'; derate officers are returned to Congress. That is a power that will control that par ty. Now, there may be some men that will believe that men who embarked all that they had —life, fortune, everything—to break up your Government, and to estab lish anew one whose corner-stone should b : slavery, will give up that purpose so ea si-One fact is apparent: these men were di etod because they did all they could to overturn the Federal Government. Did you, citizens of Ashtabula county, believe when \ ou were helping to carry on the war —when you were straining every nerve to clothe and feed and arm’the Union army— did you believe that the very men you were fighting would to-day be returned to sic in tin? councils ol the nation? What guaran tee have you that they have abandoned their old purposes? You will notice that not a man of them but is a most violent ad vocate of iniiation of the currency. Why, I have it explained in a long letter I received yesterday from a man well up in affairs in that section. It is that all are inflationists, because they want to make the currency valueless, and then they are ready for an other war. If they had had the same credit during the war that wo had, do you sup pose we could have beaten them? A war cannot be carried on without credit, and our superior credit enabled us to beat them. They see now the rock on which they split, and are anxious to bring us where they stood with this Confederate currency. The venerable hobgoblin may rest in peace so far as those 80 ex-Confederates are concerned. A more harmless set of men, so far as breaking up the fa bric of the Republic bequeathed us by the Fathers, never existed. They may strive, in the forum of reason, to re store the Constitution and the Union so wickedly abused by the Republican party, but beyond this no upright man need fear them or their works. They may investigate many of the transac tions of the last fifteen years, but no honest Republican need fear the issue of such scrutiny. And, so far as any undue disturbing influences are con cerned, the old Ohio scarecrow might well be agitated if 80 non-combat ant politicians had been sent to Con gress instead of that many brave and high-minded gentlemen, whose swords have been turned into reaping hooks for more than a decade. It is not true that “these men w'ere elected because they did what they could to ovei’turn the Federal Government.” Old Thad Stevens, Sumner, Ben Wade, Trumbull & Cos. spared them the trouble of abol ishing the Constitution, if such had even been their purpose, as it was not. The true secret of their election is that they were the most eligible men in their neighborhoods and it is very hard to And a decent man in the South who did not do all in his power to preserve the Confederacy that the principles of Constitutional liberty might be kept in tact. 1 The citizens of Ashtabula county may not have thought it possible, in 186L-’65, that these men would ever get to Congress; but these simple souls may prepare, as other people, in all ages and all climes, have experienced, to witness many more wonderful de velopments of the whirligig of time and the revenges of Justice. Old Mr. Wade may try to impress the farmers of the Western reserve of Ohio that God Almighty intended that the world should stand stock still for them and their seed forever, but he and his folly will perish together. We are not so sure that these eighty ex-Confederates are all inflationists. But what if they are? Have they not as good a right to think well of green backs as the authors of rag-money have to repudiate their own bantlings. Out upon such monstrous hpocrisy! We are happy to learn from the frightened Benjamin that the South would have whipped the North had her credit been of equal power. Very few Northern men are prepared to admit that, and Feed Douglass says it was not credit that overcame Secession but negro soldiers. These disputativo doc tors can settle that moot point to suit themselves. Meanwhile the eighty ex- Confederates in Congress will, within the Union, and on the field of legisla tion, patriotically strive to bring back the Republic to its ancient glory and to the people everywhere their olden prosperity. Of course, success in such a noble undertaking ruins Radicalism and consigns its leaders, dead and liv ing, to a dreadful infamy. But while the marplots and conspirators, who have smitten the land and fattened on its evils, will ’behold that day as a “sliceof Judgment,” the vast majority of people, of all creeds, political parties and various colors, will welcome an era of good feeling which revives busi ness and brings back something like a genuine peace. Maynard.— And now comes Horace Maynard, Minister to Turkey, who has lived on official pap all of his life since he reached manhood, and squeals like a greedy pig for more pay. The New York Nun raps this Radical piggy over the snout in this wise: “Just hear him a fellow who was a schoolmaster in East Tennessee when a thousand dollars was a fortune, and who has since been member of Congress with a nominal salary of $5,000 a year. And now he wants more than twelve thou sand! If he is not pleased with his pay and grandeur, Maynard ought to resign and come home.” Probably he wants to make hay while the Radical sun shines. “Broken Toys” is the title of Char lotte Thompson’s new play. Southern Democrats and National Con ventions. The New York Herald is speculating as to the probable course of Southern Democrats in the next National Con vention. It is led to these reflections by the power possessed, during the last four years, by Southern Republicans in moulding, shaping and driving the Radical machine. The Herald says : It has been a singular spectacle in Wash ington to see a handful of men, mostly po litical adventurers, with no solid influence in their States, with constantly diminish ing political power tbei'e, and unable last year to carry more than two out of the twelve Southern States—to see th s hand ful of Southern Republicans control the great body of their fellow partisans in Congress by merely presenting a solid and unbroken front or opposi tion to all reforms which would af fect them, united with an unhesitat ing and unquestioning support of ail the pet schemes of their “ Northern friends.” In the Republiean caucuses last Winter every proposed reform was choked by the opposition of the Southern men; and these were the leaders, the speakers, the ac tors, the conquerors, in every caucus or other meeting for private consultation held by the Republicans during the Winter. They succeeded not more by their misrep t esentations of Southern affairs and their appeals for support, than by their super serviceable zeal in abetting the schemes of their Northern allies, which enabled them readily to divide the Northern men of their party. That they will pursue similar tac tics iu the next National Convention and thus control, if they can, its policy, if not its nominations, there can be little doubt; though the fact that they will come up as the representatives of States which they cannot carry, and afl. but two of which ax - e sure to go Democratic, will doubtless weaken their power. The Herald seems to think if these miserable adventurers from the South could have such tremendous inflence, what may the country hot expect from the Southern Democracy, who shall come up to a National Convention as the true representatives “ of strongly Democratic States; of a population which will swell the Democratic vote, and without whose help no Democrat can hope to be elected. The Southern Republicans, on the contrary, will ap pear in their Convention as the repre sentatives of rotten boroughs or of hopeless minorities.” It adds: “ This being so, it seems not unnatural that the South should exercise a great and even preponderating influence in the next Democratic Convention. It is the more likely to do so because the North ern Democratic party is divided upon some of the most important issues of the day, and because in the last two national conventions the South has felt that it was slaughtered by the mis management of its Northern allies, in whose hands it unreservedly placed its fortunes. In 18G8 and 1872 the South ern Democrats came into the Conven tion as the representatives of Republi can States, as men who could not carry their States for their party; and they we.re naturally modest. To-day all this is changed; and it would be surprising, and argue less political tact and ambi tion than Southern men are credited with, if now, under greatly changed circumstances, they should once more commit their political fortunes unre servedly to their Nor i hern allies.” Taking for granted that the South will, if compact, control matters great ly, the Herald thinks her representa tives will be modest enough to let the East or West have the candidates, while insisting on the platform. Free trade is looked upon as a certain de mand from this section, and, unlike old Ben Wade, the Herald thinks hard money will be a plank of special atten tion to Southern men, allied to local self-government. And right here the Herald says,“whenever they (the South ern Democrats) have ruled in their own States —notably in Georgia—they have shown themselves honest and economical administrators; the finances of Georgia are to-day in a better con dition than those of most Northern States.”* Startiug upon this basis, the Herald looks to the South as the true reform er of the Union, because, as in Georgia, when the Democrats gained possession of their States, wrested from them by Radical bayonets and black and white outlaws, a sound system of govern ment has been at once established. What grand testimony is this to the South, and especially to Georgia! What a withering rebuke to the lords of misrule, from Sumner and Wendell Phillips to Ben Butler and Grant! The New York paper winds up as follows : Whether the Southern Democrats will be equal to their opportunity remains to be seen. Many of them have been inclined lather to accept a subordinate place in the Convention; to declare themselves ready to stand on any platform which may be offer ed; to abandon principles and a sound policy if only they can thus defeat the Re publicans. But of late there are signs that this policy is losing adherents in the South. Tiie quarrels of the Northern Democrats and their follies are seen to make their suc cess more and more hopeless if they are allowed to control the party; and some of the wisest of the Southern Democratic statesmen begin to think that to save their party it is necessary that they shall con trol the Convention and dictate the plat form and the nominations. Undoubtedly this is their true course, and its success de pends only upon the question whether they have among them statesmanship and or ganization enough to send their ablest men to the Convention and to agree upon prin ciples which shall commend themselves to the country at large and shall restore them to public confidence. That is the rub, indeed. If wise, true and good men are sent from the South to the National Convention, we have no fears of the result. If a “convoca tion of politic worms” contrive to get there, men of elastic principles and mere seekers after flesh-pots, very grave dangers will result. We want men from the South in our next Na tional Convention who cannot be led by the nose by wire-pullers or de bauched by Manhattan Club banquets. We want no men there who, when flushed with wine, make fools of them selves by senseless speeches, which ruin the prospects of the campaign from the very start. We should re solve to send men there who can rise above the dirty rewards of party suc cess, who love principles better than spoils, who believe that the world is governed by ideas and not by humbug. Tire South should send to that Con vention her wisest, her purest, her most patriotic statesmen, and not the rabble of cross-roads, office-seekers or men of local eminence, who, in the desperate effort to get into power, blind ly rush after false leaders and false gods. Col. Cole’s Report. We publish this morning the annual report of Col. E. W. Cole, President of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway Company. It is grati fying to see that his able management is so highly appreciated by tho stock holders, as he has been re-elected unanimously for eight years to the high position he so admirably and suc cessfully fills. This is a great and de served compliment, and as such we add our mite of congratulation for the continued prosperity of an old friend. Ben Hill. —There are some nuisances in all circles of society, and out of it. who never see a public man but they gabble “ speech! speech ! ” The Span ish Inquisition was mild in comparison with these torturers. No man has been more persecuted than Ben Hill, and no man has more frequently yield ed to such persecution. But he has had his dose at last, and, responding by letter to a Macon “ tormenter,” says : I feel grateful to the good citizens for the confidence manifested, and would comply with their request if it was practicable to do so. But lam so constantly engaged in the courts, and in arranging for coming du ties, that it is not possible to do so. I think, too, just at this time, there ought to bo but little, if any, public speaking on po litical questions, especially at the South. I shall remember you in the future. Ben is getting wise in his old a-ge. Let him wait till he gets to Washing ton. If his good-natured, but foolish, friends had their way, he would ex plode his ammunition box long before December next. Andy Johnson “ cook ed his goose” by inopportunely at tempting to “ make Rome howl.” Negro Education.— The Alexandria, Va., Gazette contains the following sig nificant paragraph : It has happened here, however, that while the colored girls throng the schools, the boys neglect, to a very great extent, the opportunities afforded them with so much sacrifice by the white property holders, and prefer to lounge about the streets and suburbs rather than acquire an education which will fit them for their fu ture duties and responsibilities. That they should thus grow’ up in ignorance, and then have power to dispose of our lives and pro perty, as voters and jurors, cannot be tol erated, and a constitutional amendment providing that no man born since the war shall be entitled to vote unless he can read or write is the only remedy. It is certainly worthy of consideration. The Columbus Times wants the Geor gia Legislature to adopt a similar pro vision. It had better adopt some thing that will make idle men go to work. “Jess So!”—A few days ago, in al luding to Mr. Nordhoff’s innoceDt gulping down of information received from “ intelligent contrabands,” we ventured to point out a peculiarity of the Ethiopian which consisted in ac quiescence to the most monstrous propositions emanating from a white man. Here is one of the best illustra tions of that fact we have ever met with: “ A gentleman asked a negro a few days ago, who was very noisy about the Constitution, what it looked like ? “ Well, Boss, 1 jess don’t ’zactly know!” Well Bill, does it look like an anaconda or the ten commandments ? “ It’s jess so, boss.” And the negro found out very suddenly he was wanted. Now, I know that some pe pie think that it is in the power of the Government to make good times. The Government can no more do it than I can make a crop of corn. There are people who think that the Government can create something out of nothing. Only God Almighty can do that, if He can.—[Ben Wale. If the rascal had been making corn instead of speeches we would all be better off to some extent. Some super natural power created Ben Wade, and that is demonstration enough for us that out of nothing something can be made. True. —There is an anecdote of Cha teaubriand which conveys a world of meaning. That great man said, “Mme. Chateaubriand would not dine later than five. I was never hungry till seven. But we Compromised and dined at six, so that we could neither of us enjoy it; and that is what people call the happiness of mutual concessions.” And that is what so many wise old bachelors know, and therefore pre serve their personal independence amid the “ crash of systems and the wreck of worlds.” Consolidation. —Alluding to the con solidation of the News and Advertiser, of Savannah, some of our contempora ries seem to think that the former pa per, the sole survivor, will be improved. We doubt it. It is an excellent journal already. If anything, without lusty competition, it is apt, in the long run, to decline in interest. There are sev eral monopoly papers Jwhich need a first-class shaking up, just now. Good.— The howling idiots of the Radical press have found out that Judge Pershing, Democratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, was and is opposed to the XlYth and XVth Amendments. The world moves. Mr. Pershing is on Attorney General Pier repont’s line, to-wit: that those amend ments are “ the greatest crimes and blunders of the 19th century.” Hard Money. —Democrats who have bonds, and do not care a copper about oivic freedom, are congratulating them selves that Grant will veto any infla tion schemes. Sad.— At Fall River, Mass, fifteen thousand operatives are out of work and forty mills idle. Good for the De mocratic ticket. Gen. T. L. Clingman has received a let ter from Matt Carpenter, in which the writer says: “I have just received and read with infinite delight your address at the University of the South, August 5. If you sent it I thank you for that; if not, I thank you for having made it, so some other person could send it. I will not say it was eloquent, for small men claim to be eloquent; but it is grand. After finishing it I felt as I often have in reading some splendid passage in Shakespeare.” PERSONAL, ij A'. T. Stewart pays SIB,OOO a Tear taxes on his Fifth avenue home.

Parson Brownlow says that he is sev enty years old, and that ho [attributes his longevity to the fact that lie never voted the Democratic ticket. He *lso says that when he wrote the obituary <i ? . ex-Prcsident Johnson he had lived to s >eak kindly of the virtues of the last surviy >r of the largo number of politicians in Te nessee whom he encountered and fought on his advent into public life. Garibaldi, in acknowledj ng a portrait of Bismakck which had b< en sent him, wrote: “You have sent m a likeness of Bismarck, stamped with a grandeur and truthfulness unparalleled. ou have thor oughly understood this gre[t and illustri ous man, to whom the world is indebted for those noble moral batttjh which, more than the material ones, will lyirl to the dust the sacerdotal hydra of falsehood.” In 1872 Maine gave Grant |32, 000 majori ty.
