CTljc Constitutionalist
AUGUSTA, GA,:
Batuday Morning, October, 2, 1875.
Municipal Affairs.
In spite of all that has been said and
done, we are of opinion that an over
whelming public sentiment is in favor
of the re-election of Hon. Chas. Estes
for Mayor of Augusta. It is not likely
that any formidable opposition will be
developed against him, and we are of
opinion that he would be victorious
over any competitor who made the
race. Mr. Estes has inaugurated cer
tain schemes which are costly and
which everybody hopes will some day
be more than worth the money ex
pended upon them. It is considered
proper, even by his personal opponents,
that he should have the sole responsi
bility of carrying them to a conclusion
as the Chief Executive of this
city. Very few men, if any, would
care to take the position, if af
fairs are in as deplorable a condition
as represented by certain critics ; and
we are not so sure that the men who
fancy themselves able to create re
forms and reduce expenses are just
such persons as could command a ma
jority of ballots. We dare say Mr.
Estes is perfectly willing to retire from
the contest or, on the other hand, will,
however reluctantly, agree to run again
at the request and desire of many tax
payers, who growl at the canal, deplore
taxes and assessment, curse the modus
operandi of nominations, etc., etc., but
are not willing to take the office them
selves and carry out or stop the pro
jects now approaching consummation.
Wherefore, we think Mr. Estes will be
prevailed upon to be again a candidate
for Mayor, and, if nominated, he will,
in all probability, be elected, in spite of
the most vigorous opposition.
Complaint is made that Mr. Estes is
“too unanimous,” that is an overshad
owing power in the city government.
If that be true, it is either because of
the confidence reposed in their chief by
members of Council, or else because a
superior energy like his will dominate
anywhere and everywhere. The law of
polarity holds good in his case. He
takes a leading part in the municipal
drama for the simple reason that he
concentrates his whole mind upon that
matter and has ceaseless vigilance and
untiring activity. If, however, the
voters of the city deem the charge of
being “too unanimous” a well-founded
one; and if they think a balance of
power important and urgent—they
have a remedy near at hand by or
ganizing so that there shall be
no caucus tricks in any ward,
and, by exerting their power and
influence, see to it that] men shali
be elected to Council who are not the
pieces of putty some people seem to
imagine the present members to be.
There may be juggling and chicanery
at ward meetings and primaries, but
the blame for such scandals must fall
on men who neglect their rights and
privileges as citizens, and not upon
those who, whether through iuterest
or patriotism, run the “machine” be
cause they are permitted to do so by
those who blaspheme the political
craftsmen but make no effort to cir
cumvent their game. Besides, the
city government is not any more
subject to manipulation here than else
where, and we dare say, if it be true
that a few wire-workers control nomi
nations for one department of poli
tics, it will be found equally true con
cerning all others.
The people of Augusta will therefore,
we judge, make Mr. Estes their Mayor
for the sixth time. If they think he
needs a Council of different material
from the present one, let them put up
such men as they deem fit and proper
for the position. If there be any evil
now existing, the remedy is possible,
and if a remedy be needed it is worth
working for.
One Way of Battling Against Hard
Times.
Mr. Sranton once said that it was
not so much the kind of gun used that
won battles as it was the kind of man
behind the gun. By parity of reason
ing, it may be stated that hard times
are made all the harder by that man
who perpetually abuses them but does
not make an honest effort to better
himself or anybody else. Now and
then, we come across examples of how
industrious people, under many disad
vantages, conquer a living for them
selves and families, and these examples
should put thousands of robust young
men to the blush who complain of the
untowardness of their fate and yet
never manfully strive to mend their
broken fortunes and add that much to
the common weal.
The Rome Courier relates what a
one-legged Confederate soldier has ac
complished. It says : “ Mr. Thomas
Cashon lives in Chulio district, in tnis
county, about nine miles from town.
With his daughter, thirteen or fourteen
years old, and a little son still young
er, just large enough to plow, and a
smalt mule, he will make at least ten
bales of cotton and 450 bushels of corn.
This is an example all might profit by.
Mr. Cashon lost a leg in the war, and
it is off above the knee. Is there not
a lesson of industry and thrift to
be learned from what he has accom
plished? Such men are worth their
weight in gold.”
We know of a one-armed Confederate
soldier who has, by dint of thrift and
pertinacious labor, accumulated a hand
some property. His right arm having
been shot away in battle, he had to ac
custom himself to the use of the left
one. It was an up-hill job, but the
plucky fellow was not daunted and now
he reaps the reward of true valor and
most commendable perseverance. A
monument might be raised with great
propriety, some day, to tell the glori
ous story of individuals, and they are
not a few, who were not less intrepid
after the war than during its hottest
combats.
Southern Pacific.— Gen. Beauregard
is an ardent believer in the Texas Pa
cific Railway, and predicts that it will,
when completed, be a genuine blessing
for the South.
A Vain Attempt—Carl Schurz at a Dis
count-Tile Presidency.
Hon. Cam. Schukz is one of the most
remarkable men now in public life. He
is a great scholar and a powerful lec
turer, but, in undertaking to pit his
financial theories against Bill Allen’s
hard and stubborn chunks of fact and
wisdom, he will not prove a brilliant
success. This seems to be the general
impression even among hard money
men and organs.
The reliable and well informed Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, writing under date of the 28th,
says: “The most of the Western poli
ticians here very naturally do not ex
press any confidence as to the power
of Mr. Schurz to turn aside the infla
tion current now rushing breast high
in Ohio and other States of that section,
although his Cincinnati speech is re
garded as a most powerful effort, and
equally strong arguments are looked
for from him hereafter. It is known
here among those in the confidence of
Mr. Schurz that what he says as to his
own political status is entirely correct,
and that he means to be in truth and in
deed an independent voter. Although
if he can make any converts, (which is
very doubtful, as the Ohio farmers seem
deaf to the voice of reason,) it will enure
to temporary benefit of the republicans,
That party will have to change a great
deal before Mr. Schurz can be again
enrolled as one of its supporters. He
has refused to allow the Eepublican
Campaign Committee to bear any pro
portion of his expenses, as he does not
wish to be considered as a party ora
tor. He has also some cause for a
little sensitiveness on this score as Mr.
Conkling and others of his personal
enemies in the Senate made a great
deal of capital because of his election
as a Senator. The interest in the Ohio
election is deepening very much as the
time approaches, and it is admitted all
around that if the inflationists carry
Ohio, Pennsylvania will follow on the
same side with a rousing majority. An
experienced New England politician, an
ex-member of Congress, said to-day
that in the event of inflation successes
in Ohio and Pennsylvania, he did not
share the general belief that the infla
tion party would sweep the country in
1876. To the contrary, he believed
that it would result in general splitting
up of the present parties, and that
there will be no election of President
by the people. In this case a Demo
crat would be elected by the House of
Representatives, and the composition of
that body is such that he would cer
tainly be no hair-brained inflationist.”
The Ohio farmers see ruin staring
them in the face, and know that the
party now bolstered up by Mr. Schurz
has brought them to great distress,
and is preparing a certain perdition,
unless severely checked. Hence meta
physics will not answer for them, and
when old Bill Allen, in his simple
sledge-hammer way, talks to them on
familiar matters, they are not in a con
dition to listen to subtle refinements of
carefully prepared speeches delivered
from a manuscript. We are in hopes
that a Democratic President may be
elected by the people ; but, failing that,
the House of Representatives will
make a sure thing of it. Whether the
majority in that body will be ranked as
resumptionists or anti-resumptionists,
let time and chance determine. We
will not have long to wait for a solution
of that problem.
National Banks.— The Philadelphia
Chronicle says: “The national banks, as
a measure of self-safety, are gradually
contracting their circulation, and hence
it is argued that there is no necessity
for any more currency. A moment’s
reflection will serve to convince that
this contraction is simply a preparation
for a compliance with the act of Con
gress requiring them to resume specie
payments in 1879. And this contrac
tion will go on day by day, rendering
the money more and more scarce, so
that the nearer we approach to hard
money the harder times will become.
The banks are not to be blamed for
this course. It is their only salvation,
as a resumption with their present or
even one-fourth of their present circu
lation would be an utter impossibility.
In the meantime, what is to become of
the country? That is a question for
the financiers.” A Democratic triumph
in 1876 will relieve the national banks
of any anxiety on that subject.
A Hard Lick. — In a long and most
pungent letter to a Reform meeting,
Mr. S. T. Wallis, ably defends his
course and claims that it is in strict
accord with the example set him by the
Greeleyites. He says:
The Democratic party, however, in its
nominations, has so perpetually invited me
to forget past differences, and has assigned
to me as associates or leaders, and re
quired me to make friends of so many
whom it once taugh# me to regard as the
very mammon of unrighteousness, that it
wmuld not become me as a Democrat now
to be more exclusive than it is.
If I had no better reason for regarding
any antagonism of opinion between my
distinguished friend, Mr. Harris, and my
self, as otherwise disposed of, I should cer
tainly have the right to regard it as “sent
to the rear” by superior authority in 1867,
when the Democratic-Conservative party
of his county invited him tolrepresent it in
the Constitutional Convention.
A fearful slap that; but we think Mr.
Wallis should have striven for reform
inside the party and not in a way that
bids fair to disorganize it. But his ac
tion is just what Hon. r H. Y. Johnson
predicted would be the inevitable re
sult of a desperate coalition with the
unfortunate Tribune editor.
The Reason Why— We are firm be
lievers in the efficacy of prayer and a
foe to Tilden and his patent gauge,
but one of the worst trials to our faith
has been to witness the non-success of
pious women who have dealt in heav
enly petitions for a change of heart in
their husbands. Luckily our mystifi
cation has been dispelled by the Taun
ton Gazette, which informs us of a good
and prayerful old lady, who said she
had stopped praying for her husband
because “ I have prayed for that man
so long without effect that I think the
Lord has just as poor an opinion of the
man as I have.”
If they want to pull ’em back all the
men in the land can’t stop ’em.
Butler. —Gen. Butler says: “ When
metal currency supplants the present
issue of paper it will have to be enor
mously debased or else every old wo
man in the country will fill her stock
ings with it and bury it. It will be
hoarded, sir, hoarded to the extent of
removing millions from the working
currency of the country. The people
who talk- about doing away with the
convenient fractional currency are mad.
It does seem to me sometimes as if ju
nicial blindness had struck the financial
management of the entire country.”
The old gentleman, when asked about
Ohio politics declared that Allen would
get 30,000 majority, and, if it had not
been for the school question, it would
be 50,000.
Before the war one-half of the people of
the South claimed the right to enslave the
other half.— [Boston Traveler.
Before,the war one-half the South, as you
phrase it, had the right to own tho “other
half,” which it derived from the Constitu
tion of the United States, having originally
purchased the slaves from New England.—
[Courier-Journal.
If matters do not grow more flour
ishing at the North more than one-half
the people of New England will wish
that Southern institutions had never
been molested. We believe about one
half are of that way of thinking at the
present time.
Election Notes.— The funny man of
the Detroit Free Press has this touch
ing anecdote: “An old toper stood in
the door of a Michigan Grand avenue
saloon yesterday and saw four or five
men emptying their glasses, and heav
ing a great sigh he asked of the bar
tender ; “How long Tore ’lection ?”
“Six or seven weeks,” was the answer.
“So long ! I s’pose I’ll have to stand
it, but it’s hard.”
First Book of Zoology. —Messrs. D.
Appleton & Cos. have recently issued a
book by Prof. Morse on the elementary
principles of zoology. It is an admira
ble treatise and a superb text book for
schools. It is profusely illustrated and
we cordially recommend it to the at
tention of the professors of all educa
tional institutions.
Justice. —We read that on the same
day and with the same tongue the To
ronto magistrate who sentenced a rich
man to one month’s imprisonment for
stealing $5,000, sent a poor woman up
for three months for stealing 50 cents.
