Constitutionnlist AUGUSTA, GA.,: Friday Morning, October, 1, 1875. An Elastic Title —What “Company’ Means Sometimes. An old lawyer once told us that he had a case in bankruptcy which annoy ed him exceedingly. One oE the points of disgruntlement was his inability to find out the “company” of the broken firm. At last the peti tioner for discharge from debt agreed to throw some light on the dark sub ject, and did so as follows : He said : “You see, Judge, I was brought up in the city of Blank by Mr. Blank, one of the soundest merchants in that place. He one day called me aside, and thus spoke: ‘Squibob, my dear fellow, you may, at a future period, go into busi ness for yourself. Now, let me give you a dqt or two which may serve to make success a certainty. Never take a partner, but always impose upon the world that you have one, and that he is rich and mysterious. Let your shop sign be blazoned with the gilded letters of Squibob & Cos., and so conduct your external affairs that the people will con fidently believe in the existence of your colleague. The wisdom of thi3 course is plain. Men in this country are great borrowers of money. Borrow all you can from commercial friends, but never lend if you can help it, and only on security which would make a Rothschild weep for joy. The way to avoid letting your cash go to fish} members of the trade is an easy one. Say to the appli cant for a loan that you are more than anxious to oblige him, but, in arti cles of copartnership with the “com pany,” it was expressly stipulated that no funds should be loaned without his permission. Say too that you must see the “company” and secure the ne cessary authority, and if the beseech ing merchant can call on the mor row, an answer will be ready. You must, my son, when that man calls again, as he is certain to do, put your face in mourning, your eye 9 should be steeped in tears crocodilian, your tfoice may be modulated to the wail of a despairing spirit—no chief mourner, well-paid for first-class grief at an English funeral procession, should surpass the melancholy of your wholesale demeanor. Thus equipped for the contest, take the hand of the would-be borrower in your clammy palms, and, in tones of sympathetic woe, each syllable a broken heart, in form him that the “company,” an iron hearted and penurious Croesus, posi tively refuses to grant a favor which has been pleaded for on bended knees. Observe, my dear Squibob, that, by this dramatic process, you save your cash and yet do not utterly risk the friendship of your petitioner. He will go from Dan to Beersheba pro claiming your tenderness of soul and excoriating the hard destiny which binds so noble a man as yourself to such a monster as the “company.” When you have seen the last of your applicant, retire to the back part of the store, mix a first-class cocktail, and, with a countenance beaming with satis faction, drink to the health of that mythical man who has saved you from a possible and, I may say, probable, loss.” Such was the explanation vouchsafed the Judge, and if it would not shock cars polite we might record his excla mation at the close. Suffice it that he formed an opinion of that sagacious client and ejaculated it audibly in terms more sonorous than classical. We were reminded of this anecdote by reading the subjoined paragraph taken from the New York Evening Post: It was not known in commercial circles in 1869 that Mr. Benjamin H. CHEEVERand Mr. James Van Buben composed the “Company” in the Banking firm of Henry Clews & Cos. Yet it appears from papers produced in the bankruptcy proceedings of that house that on the 27th of March, in the year aforesaid, the firm agreed in writing to pay Cheeveb and Van Buren one-quarter each of the profits which would accrue from the firm’s being “ap pointed by the United (States Government its financial agents in London, Paris or Frankfort.” On the 29th of the same month and year the firm agreed to pay to Chee ver and Van Buren one-quarter each of the profits accruing in like manner from its appointment as agents in New York or any other city or town in the United States. Cheeveb, who is said to be a Wash ington lobbyist, claims $290,000 lor him self and Van Buren under the agreement. The members of the firm should lose no time in explaining this curious partner ship transaction. The gentle reader may judge for him self how many crimes are committed iu the name of “company.” Here we have a banking firm that negotiated mil lions of securities, and was, in high Re publican circles, deemed of sufficient importance to succeed the Barings of London as financial agent of the Uni ted States. And now that the bladder has been pricked and the gas bag ex ploded, what a stench is emitted ! The books of the concern are valueless as records of business transactions/and a “company” pops up, in Mephistophe lean proportions, whose very existence no human being outside the ring ever suspected. Is it any wonder that, so frequently confronted with such atro cious deceptions, the stern moralist should thus expatiate: “ ‘Money, if thou canst, by fair means; if not, by any means whatever, money' —is also the standing indictment against the present age. And in the hot pursuit, the race after gold, men throw away, one after the other, all the restraints and decencies of an honest and virtuous life, just as a swimmer ‘in his agony’ strips himself of anything that might clog his desperate efforts to reach the desired goal. Rome, in the days of its luxurious excess, listened neither to the moralities of Seneca nor the satires of Juvenal; and the de baucheries and follies which resulted in the French Revolution were wholly unchecked by the speculations of the Encyclopedists. And it is the misfor tune of society that those who should guide and purify it are too apt to minis ter to its weakness, are too easily sway ed by its luxurious influences; so that theagevhioh neglects a Milton fos ters a Suckling, a Sedley, and a Con greve. The ‘higher culture,’ indeed, j may rise above the contagion, but then society pays no attention to its profes sors.” True every word of it. The most dreadful apprehension in this day is not the wreck of fortunes so much as the abasement of good reputations. The most appalling prospect in this country is not the loss of its gold but the decadence of its morals. The History of Banking—Whither are We Drifting ? The first bank established in Europe was at Venice in 1171, which owed its origin and existence to continuous wars forcing upon the Government the ne cessity of obtaining means for conduct ing them. This institution was for many ages the admiration of Europe, and was sufficient for Government and commercial purposes, when the Venetians were not surpassed by any nation in Europe for their trade and commerce. We are assured that so thoroughly and honestly was the man agement of this bank conducted that transferred deposits commanded a premium over coin, and thus, with but few interruptions, existed this first European bank up to 1797, when it fell along with the Republic by the Revo lutionary army of France. In 1401 is recorded the establishment of the Bank of Barcelona. Here was first instituted the system of negotia ting bills of exchange. Some 208 years later the Bank of Amsterdam was founded. Being only a bank of de posit, the object of this institution was to give a standard value to bills which might be drawn upon Amsterdam, ren dered necessary by depreciation of coin from clipping or friction. Mere these coins were received on deposit, and their value established by weight and fineness. Passing to other Euro pean banks which were established at intervals up to 1694, we have in that year the creation of the Bank of Eng land, with a capital of £1,200,000. This unequalled institution was the result of necessity, growing out of an exhaust ing war with France. With many checks and suspensions it has steadily increased in capital and power, and is now the centre of the world’s finances. As our object is merely to give facts for those who have time and disposition to eliminate them, we will pass on to February 26, 1797, when the bank was forced by an order of the Government to cease paying coin. Notes of one pound sterling were then issued by the bank. This suspen sion was regarded necessary to prevent the ruin of the bank, and was the sal vation of the business interests of the kingdom. In May, 1823, the resump tion of specie payments occurred for which preparation had been made for four years. This resulted in wide spread ruin and disaster of which wo cannot now read without most painful feelings. This resulted too when gold was at the .following rates of premium: 1816, 2 % per cent.; 1817, 21818, 5; 1819, 6}£; 1819 and 1820, par. During the past 39 years, the Bank of England has been forced intoj suspension three time, first October 25, 1847, second No vember 12, 1857, third May 11, 1866. These suspensions were of short dura tion and did not in the least impair public confidence iu the founders and ability of the institution. * Now, if widespread ruin followed re sumption of this great bank iD 1823, when gold was an average of 3 per cent, premium, and the issues of the bank not more than 3 to 1 above coin in its vaults, can we be surprised at the precaution of moneyed institutions in the United States, since the passage of the insane law of Congress fixing 1879 as a period of resumptioL for the Gov ernment and national banks, or at the unparalleled depression and ruin which from this cause alone has come upon the whole country ? How can we re sume specie payment with issues out standing of $852,000,000, and coin avail able to redeem with of 890,000,000, and with gold to-day at a premium of 17 % per cent, in New York ? It will require more generosity and less ava rice than has ever been evinced by a mixed population like ours who, to an alarming degree, bow more fre quently and reverently to the Golden Calf than to the Lord of Heaven and Earth. “ Breaking the Color Line”—The Slo gan of the Charlatan. It is true that the modern humorist has shown that a leopard can change his spots, by moving from one corner of his cage to another, and Nature in one of her freaks, now and then, bleaches the negro into a repulsive caricature of the Caucasian ; but the “ true inwardness ” of beast and Ethi opian is not destroyed by a witticism or a monstrosity. We hear a vast deal now-a-day about “ breaking the color line,” as applied to the whites and blacks. This cry usually proceeds from our Northern friends, whose fanatical ideas are now being pushed to a conclusion which they little dreamed of when they started their Abolition and Reconstruction cru sade against the South. There never was a greater fallacy or a greater sin against society than tho attempt, by propagandism, warfare and special leg islation, to make the world admit that an Ethiopian is only a black white man, and that he should bo subject to the same ethnological laws. True, na ture, experience, history and science are opposed to this madness ; but it is still claimed by a powerful organiza tion, who have inherited the wolfish ness of Robespierre and tho folly of the so-called “friends of the blacks.” The fate of the West Indies, the rottenness of South American and Mexican civilization, the long night of Congo barbarism and dying declara tions of Livingstone ought to count for something; but an insane prejudice Is hard 4 to extirpate since it has a root as stubborn and tenacious a3 that of the scrub-palmetto. The direful financial experience now pursuing the people of the North, lik9 an avenging Nemesis, is rapidly driving the thoughts of that region into horror and wrath against such philosophers as Sumner, Garrison, ; Phillips and the black host of Radicals whose pet theory, once so popular, is now turning to dust and ashes. We see glimpses of this in the New York Methodist, which recently, treat ing of color and fraternity, says : There is just as much “caste” —to use the cant phrase—in one section as in the other, because the same cause produces it. Race lines are, so far as this generation is con cerned, matters of Providence; we did not make them, but something within us prompts us to respect them. We do not as sociate with the Chinese, and they do not associate with us. The fact in no' way im peaches the sincerity of our efforts to evan gelize either race. We have lived in a town where nearly.everybody voted and talked the most radical politics ; but if a colored man moved into a street, properly fell twenty-five per cent. The people who are “putting down caste” differ from their fellows only in having rather more of the color-phobia. The fact is, many ignorant and well meaning persona have been led into a grievous error with regard to race dis tinctions, so far as theory is concerned, but when tho case was brought home to them practically the voice of nature was stronger than a religious or po litical ideality. At the rate with which panics, corruptions and enormous pro perty shrinkages are menacing the peo ple of the country, and the Govern ment itself, we can confidently look for a reaction in public sentiment which may make Sumner’s grave less sacred than he thought it would be, and Wen dell Phillip’s life a dangerous risk. PERSONAL. Bones of contention—Guibord’s. The St. Louis Republican thinks milk adulterators should be crem-ated. The masses procure their opinions ready-made in open market. The Grand Duke Alexis is now pro nounced tho handsomest man in Eu rope. An Illinois paper makes its death column more interesting by publishing a “ sick list ” several days in advance. An American girl won the gold medal at the recent examination at the Col lege of Brazil, Rio Janeiro. We know a fellow who has become so nervous from coloring his hair that he can’t keep still long enough to pay his debts. Of the entire population of London, it is estimated that over one-fourth, or ono million of people, never attend church. There’s pluck for you. An Ohio wo man has named her twins after Win. Allen, and she’s ready to take the chances of success and failure. It is believed in many circles abroad that Pere Hyacinthe will go back to the Pope and the Church of Rome very dissatisfied with all other parties. Madame Nilsson’s voice is all right, and the man who set afloat the story that it sounded like a sheep-bell won’t receive any complimentary tickets when she returns to America. “Who was the first man?” Head scholar—“ Washington; he was the first in war, first in—” Teacher—“No, no; Adam was the first man.” “Oh, if you are talking of foreigners, I s’pose he was.” How vain it is for a bootmaker to think that he will ever reach a better world when the cry of “ouch !” from a million men with corns on their toes ascends hourly.—[Detroit Free Press. An Arab chief at tho Marseilles Opera House admired the trombone player, expressing his wonder “to see that Christian swallow so much brass. I cannot yet comprehend where he puts it.” A St. Louis burglar says he’d rather encounter four watch-dogs around a house than one old maid, and Anna Dickinson has gone down there to give him a piece of her mind. The rash suggestion is made by the Troy Times that the girls ought to get some clothes to wear over those dresses. And now we suppose some body will insist that the Greek slave be properly—or perhaps improperly— clothed— [Rochester Chronicle. They say that the ladies now propose to introduce a style of dress sprinkled profusely with lions, tigers, panthers, griffins, monsters and chimeras dire. No matter. They frighten the men away with any such trifles as these. Epitaph in the graveyard at Paris : Here lies Victor Gardinet, who fel into the eterni 1 slumber 25th March, 1864, in the arms of his w r ifo and his mother-in-law.

Yet Hung, a Chinaman, recently died in Ban Francisco, and his death notice was accompanied by these lines : Thlow ’way him lage flat-ilon, Mash him fub an’ bleak him pan, Him got tlough him washee bus’uess; Allee same dead Chinaman.
