Hije Constitutionalist
AUGUSTA,
Wednesday Morning, Sept. 29, 1875
(ireenbacks and Legitimate Trade.
It is a popular saying in Georgia that
Joe Brown once ran for Governor and
triumphantly too, when nearly every
newspaper in the State was agaftist
him. Mr. Stephens has reminded his
hearers that Mr. Jefferson, heading a
great popular movement, under simi
lar difficulties, was equally successful.
If any one were to judge by the New
York city press, it would become a
matter of conviction that the voting
masses were unanimously for hard
money in that great commonwealth.
It is true that, without a choice on the
financial question, between Democracy
and Radicalism, they may largely
choose the former; but that will not
prove the non-existence of a powerful
and numerous body of men who are
utterly opposed to resumption of specie
payments in 1879. There is a formi
dable greenback party in New York
and it has the sanction of such men as
Peter Cooper and asspeiates of his who
have a great stake in the country and
are recognized as shrewd and honorable
citizens. The real antagonism is be
tween the productive and non-produc
tive classes, between the men who dig
the money out of the earth and those
who reap the profits of this labor to an
immense degree. The producing classes
are coming to the front and demanding
that laws governing tho finance of the
country to their grevious disaster, and
which were illegally passed in times of
war and unsuited for peace times, shall
be abrogated. Among other things
they demand that a stop shall be put to
the drain upon them of §20,000,000 per
annum, by making greenbacks take the
place of national bank notes, and if the
Federal debt is to be paid at all, that
it shall be paid by this process in the
main. The bullionists, or hard money
men, fight against this, because it kills
the special legislation that enriches
them at the expense of the producing
classes. To them, indeed, as Jay
Cooke said, in his day of glory, “a na
tional debt is a national blessing.” But
to the grand aggregate of the people
of this country, a national debt, which
robs, under form of law and by the de
cision of a packed Supremo Court, the
many to enrich the few, is a curse of
the most mastadonic proportions. The
Nashville American has computed that
“the bullionist policy would make it
compound the mere interest paid the
banks alone, in twenty-five years, the
sum of §5,000,000,000, leaving the prin
cipal sum of the national debt not re
placed a dollar. By the time of the
second centennial the country will have
paid over §150,000,000,000 in interest
alone"
There might be some excuse for this
gigantic robbery of the masses to bol
ster up the money rings, if the pay
ment of interest on certain bonds had
been originally on a gold basis. Such
is not the first contract. The change
was made by a partisan Congress and
endorsed by a Court deliberately ma
nipulated for that purpose. From that
bad faith many of the evils of the coun
try have sprung; and the popular
movement in Ohio and elsewhere is not
to repudiate an obligation, but to recall
a perfidious faction to its senses.
The truth about the matter is simply
this : The country in its great agony
calls for relief and, in many States,
hopes to find it by a cardinal change
of policy, and the real end of all will
be reform. There would be no talk of
infiation now had not dishonesty in the
Administration, under Republican rule,
compelled tho people to oppose the
architects of tbeir ruin with any wea
pon that was most convenient. The
Philadelphia Times, which is, if any
thing, opposed to the Ohio platform,
sums up the campaign as one “ against
rings and ring rule; against corruption
and fraud wherever seated ; against
bad government by whomsoever ad
ministered ; and if the just, and right
and true shall triumph, those who are
now trembling at the ghost of inflation
will lock back and laugh at the spec
tre.”
Breakers Ahead—Will There be a
Split in the Democratic Party?
New York poillticians have ruined
the prospects of a Democratic triumph
ever since the war and they will ruin
them again, if permitted. We see it
stated that, in case tho National Con
vention should decide upon a green
back platform for 1876, provided Ohio
and Pennsylvania elect Allen and Per
shing, the bullionists will secede and
nominate Samuel J. Tilden. This
scheme seems to have been developed
by an interview between a New York
and a Western politician. We quote:
The Western party had stated that “Ohio
and Pennsylvania would show handsome
Democratic majorities.” “Do you mean to
say, sir,” rejoined the Tilden man, “that
the rag-baby platform is to be indorsed in
those States ?” “I do,” said the Western
man; “and what is more, sir, the entire
West and South will indorse tho platform
so objectionable to you. Those planks to
which you Eastern Democrats refuse to
subscribe, it is quite possible, will be incor
porated into the Democratic National Plat
form of 1876, and will carry the country.”
“Don’t believe a word of it, sir,” said the
Tildenite. “Don’t believe that the ma
jority of the people of this great country
will elect any man to the office of the Chief
Magistracy of the United States who,
for one moment, will indorse rag
money. Why, sir, do you know
what we mean to do ? I speak for
the friends of Sam Tilden, for, personally,
I know nothing of his individual views, but
the friends of Tilden are the upholders of
a sound currency, and no other, and if the
National Democratic Convention make
such fools of themselves as to risk a soft
money candidate against Grant, who will
be the hard-money representative of the
Republican party, that Democratic candi
date will be disgracefully defeated, and
Grant goes in again, as good as Dictator,
or Emperor if you like it better, so long as
he lives. No, sir; we hard-money men of
the East, believing, as we do. that the ma
jority of the people of this country will not
accept the soft-money ideas of Pennsylvania
and Ohio,if they are jammed into the Demo
cratic National Platform, have a remedy
that we mean to apply, and I will tell
you what that remedy is, sir:—An indepen
dent Democratic hard-money ticket, with Sam
Tilden at the head of it. Tilden’s personal
as to “regularity,” wo care nothing
jibout. He Is In the hands of the party.—
i We know that our principles he will recog
! nize as correct, and we are not going to be
! forced into a national defeat by supporting
a national “ policy ” ticket. You have not
1 the excuse of “ policy ” even, for this cry
for more greenbacks Is a “policy” that
will help General Grant again into the
White House. No, sir. I tell you now, and
you can tell your Western and Southern
friends this: if Bam Tilden’s honest
money views rule him out, as the Demo
cratic Presidential candidate for 1876, hang
ed if we don’t nominate him ourselves, and
trust to his sound platform to carry him
in. “ Why, sir,” said the Western man,
“ Grant’s election will be assured with a
split in the Democratic party.” “ I do not
believe it; but even if it be so, better Grant
with a sound currency, than Bill Allen,
or Pendleton, or Hendricks, with a shin
plaster circulating medium.”
We are disposed to believe that all
Democratic elements will harmonize at
the National Convention, making a
common cause against Radicalism and
relegating the financial question to a
secondary place, it to Congress
for adjudication, where it properly be
longs. But these New York marplots
will bear watching. They have de
ceived us over and over again, and
will rule or ruin, if not summarily
checked.
Death of Mr. Walpole.
Our community has heard with regret
of the death of Mr. Walpole. He was
universally esteemed for his virtuous
character, his blameless life, and his
dutiful fidelity to every trust, as a
member of the commercial body, and a
bright ornament of tffe domestic cir
cle. His integrity amid the corrup
tions of a fallen world was conspicuous
and, amid so much that was impetuous,
passionate and resentful surrounding
him in the whirl of events, he was
gentle, peaceful, tender and true
hearted. The community can ill spare
so precious a member of it, and there
is but one consolation to those who
mourn, who were near and dear
to him, that the death of the
righteous man is his exceeding
great gain, and that the Father
of the Widow and Orphan, the Lord of
Life, will make what seems a dark and
lowering cloud, a genuine blessing even
to those who remain when he was call
ed away. Such rare spirits, when
translated to brighter and happier
spheres, do not altogether abandon
those they have loved. It is a holy
and a wholesome thought that their
immortal parts linger, in some myste
rious way, around the faithful hearts
and homes that onco were the brighter
for their earthly presence, and how
much more holy now that the garments
of clay have been exchanged for the
robes of sanctification and undying
splendor?
Why the good God removes such a
man as Mr. Walpole, and allows so
many who are not as worthy of life to
remain, is a great secret of the heavens
which eternity can alone disclose. But
all who trust implicity in Christ and
His pledges must acknowledge that He
who gives life and takes it, especially
in the case of a virtuous man or woman,
orders all things well, and even in this
world it is frequently shown that an
early passage from the cares of exis
tence here is not the worst of ills and
that death, when it comes to the just,
is like water to the thirsty, release to
the captive and balm for the weary.
It is true that “love is stronger than
death” and that the father of a family
would cheerfully continue the combat
with many ills rather than leave his
wife*hnd little ones. But it must be
that the appointed time is the best,
and it is the sublimest of Christian trusts
that the hand which afflicts us wiil con
sole us too, and that the yoke of heaven,
though it may gall us betimes, is at
last the sweest and the best—a remind
er perchance that ju->t as the Savior
Himself passed through his agony be
fore the portals of the sky were opened,
it shall be well for those who help
to wear his crown of thorns, so that it
shall become a diadem of everlasting
magnificence, and that they who tread
the hard road of the cross will, at the
end of the journey, reach a haven of
rest in the palace of the King of Glory.
Upon tho stricken household of this
our departed brother may the dews of
heaven descend. The whole earth
seems filled with wickedness; but as he
kept the whiteness of his soul, won
derful is his reward. The turf that
lies upon his breast does not forever
keep him from wife or children. They
have husband and father still, and one
day may confidently hope to join their
saint, who is not dead, but “gone be
fore.” -
Talk and Fact. —The Nashville
American says: “In the suicide of that
poor German wife, and attempted sui
cide of her husband, at Troy, N. Y.,
Friday, the Hon. Carl Schcrz will have
•a pointed illustration for his Ohio con
traction speeches. While the doctri
naires and the stock-jobbers are theo
rizing about the beauties of contrac
tion, the people are dying for want of
work! Do you hear that ?”
Mixed.— The Reform Republicans of
Maryland have nominated S. T. Wallis,
an out-and-out Southern sympathizer,
for Attorney General, and the New
York Democrats have nominated John
Bigelow, one of the blackest of black
Republicans, for Secretary of State.
Honors are easy.
Lords. —The city of Rochester, N. Y.,
has been in the power of two men
named Lord, father and son, for sever
al years past. During their reign, the
city debt has increased from §1,000,000
to §5,000,000.
Kaolin. —The Pennsylvanians claim
that kaolin of the purest character aud
in abundant quantities has been dis
covered in the Keystone State.
At Odds.— The South Carolina news
papers are disputing about reorganiz
ing the Democratic party in that State.
Schurz. — In the Senate, Carl Schurz
ridiculed the resumption act. He is
now making speeches in its favor.
An unknown philanthropist has taken
up Gilmore’s suggestion of firing 100
cannon at the opening of the Centen
nial. He proposes, however, that they
be loaded with grape and canister, and
all pointed at Gilmore.
Cookery, Good and Bad.
(Baltimore Gazette.]
Nothing so well symbolizes the eco
nomical habits of continental Europe,
and especially France, as the pot au
feu. This is an iron pot kept con
stantly simmering upon the fire, into
which is put from day to day all the
wholesome remnants of food which in
this country are thrown away. Our
people, in their magnificent way of do
ing things, never stop to consider how
much nutriment adheres even to well
picked bones of porterhouse steaks,
mutton chops, ribs of beef, legs of mut
ton, etc. All these, and many things
beside, are put into the pot au feu, wa
ter, seasoning and fragrant herbs are
added, as required, and the constant
simmering—a solvent for even the
toughest of Texan beef —extracts every
particle of marrow even, aud the bones
come out as clean aud white as if they
had been bleached for years in the sun.
Among the common peoplo more
than half the nutriment of the day
comes from the pot au feu, and if any
member of the family comes at an un
usual hour hungry it affords at all
times a meal at once warm and whole
some. This explains how, as Hugh
McCulloch tells us, the forty millions
of France can live on what the forty
millions of America throw away, and
when we consider the wretched cook
ery that prevails in this country it is
not too much to affirm that they live
twice as well as do our farmers and
day laborers. On this subject the Lan
caster Farmer remarks: “We acknow
ledge that we have faith in the pot au
feu, though untried by us; we seem to
inhale and relish its fragrant odor.
Anything but the execrable cookery
that characterizes the greater n u mber of
the domestic establishments of America,
even where the material is bountifully
provided. A woman may pass through
fifty or sixty years of married life, and
during that period she will adopt every
fashion, mode and custom as it is in
troduced, and would feel very uncom
fortable—indeed unnappv—if she could
not do so, no matter how expensive,
inconvenient or unbecoming such fash
ions, modes and customs might be ;
and yet during that long period she
will persevere in following fundamen
tally the style aud manner of cooking
and baking that she learned from her
•mother. She will cheerfully discard
the costumes and fashions of her
mother, but without the least reflection
or inventive genius she will retain
all her obsolete modes of cooking
and baking, and if perchance she
should make any “ departure ”
from these, it will be only super
ficially, retaining all the underlying
principles just as of old. Therefore,
give us the pot au feu , let its composi
tion bo what it may, rather than this
stale and monotonous style of cookery.
The housewife inadvertently attends
market, and for cheap buys a shin o’
beef. This she puts into a pot of water
and boils and boils and boils, adding
water as it boils away. She will then
introduce some chopped cabbage, to
matoes, carrots, green corn, parsley,
potatoes, turnips, a little pastry and
perhaps some herbs. This is served
as nothing but common soup, when,
perhaps, it is tho best, most wholesome
and most relisliable thing she could
possibly make. It approximates the
pot aufeu.
Why Is it there arc so many restau
rants, dining saloons and refectories
where one individual spends daily as
much as is appropriate to sustain a
family of six or eight? Not because
all meu go there from choice, unquali
fied by other considerations, but be
cause they are obliged to choose ho
tween the savory and orderly served
up meals they get there, and the un
savory and carelessly served meals
they get at home. No human being
can bo mentally and spiritually com
fortable who is not so physically. The
manner, the time and the quality of
meals should be the good housekeep
er’s first consideration and everything
else should be subordinate to it,
when in point of fact and physical im
portance everything else seems to be
superior to it; which is all wrong, see
ing that our physical, moral and social
structures and their economies are
based upon rational eating. Besides,
the meal is, perhaps, the only one in
the twenty-four hours of the day when
the whole family are brought face to
face together; therefore everything
appertaining to it should bo properly
prepared, properly Served aud the time
for it as properly appropriated and as
rightly timed as we do proper periods
of business aud labor.”
Bald-Headed Consumptives.
[New York Sun.]
A medical journal published in Cleve
land addresses the following queer
query to the profession:
“Query— Has any physician ever seen
or treated a bald-headed consump
tive?”
We should say that thero must be,
and that there must have been, bald
headed consumptives; yet the fact that
doubt is throwu over the existence of
such persons by a medical journal
would seem to show that they are not so
common as to be within the knowledge
of every physician. We ourselves have
not, of course, seen as many sufferers
from tho malady in question as have
come under the observation of some
doctors; but we cannot at this moment
think of any one of those we have seen
who was bald-headed. Consumption
is a disease that preys upon old people
as well as young and middle aged peo
ple; and we suppose its victims are sub
ject to the ordinary laws that regulate
the growth of hair. If not, why not?
Ellen Harper, a colored woman of
about thirty, has spent much of her
time in the Richmond (Virginia) prison.
She has also committed no great crime,
being satisfied with continually disturb
ing the peace. Last week, on being
brought before the Police Judge, as
usual, she handed him the following
poetic petition: “Police Judge White,
I’m in a sad plight, immured in this
horrible jail. With sorrow oppressed,
I’m deeply distressed, and pray you
will list to my tale. As you love the
muse, you cannot refuse a wandering
harper to hear. She sings not glad
ness, for breaking with sadness, her
hfeart strings are wrung with despair.
My case is before you. New let me im
implore you to open my prison doois
wide. No bail can I give, but true as I
live I no longer here will abide; tjut far
far from this place I’ll hide my dis
grace and try for the past to atone,
while both song and story will tell of
the glory of the good Judge who mercy
hath shown.”
