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. PERSONAL. A Massachusetts company is making a thousand dollar sword for—General Butler ! A satire from the grab-bag. A bald headed man drew a fine tooth comb the other day at a Boston fair. It is now hinted that the “roving lioness” story in Indiana was got up by the women to keep their husbands home o’ nights. A bibulous old man said the reason he couldn’t drink water was because it tastes so of sinners since the flood. A Connecticut little girl caught 117 mosquitoes in one night. Her father had promised her a cent apiece. A ridiculous English tombstone marks the little resting place of Me thuselah Cony, aged 12 months. The Chinese never dun a debtor; but don’t go to China on that account. If the money isn’t paid when due off comes an ear to remind him of the ear or of his ways. The good do not die early. There is Mrs. Finch, of Rutland, "Vermont, who has had but one bonnet in twenty years, and never complained. If there was an honest man in the world it is the man who measures your gas meter, but the trouble is to make one believe so. Dr. Hall says that no person should get out of bed a3 soon as waking—that is, no man. He should lie there and speculate and theorize while his wife is getting breakfast ready. A few more of these snappy morn ings and no house-fly will care a cop per whether the family he lives with means to run in dtebt for their coal or pay cash. Advertisement from a Washington paper: “Wanted, a well-rested youth in my office. Preference given to one who ha3 not forgotten more than an employer knows. Address,” etc. There is one Detroit man who doesn’t put on the gloves any more for exer cise. The doctors are feeling of the back of his head in hopes to find his nose. Kossuth tried to learn to ride a ve locipede and gave it up in despair an and joined a base ball club. This is right from Hungary by cable, and can be re lied on. That name is “Herzegovina,” and if you hear a newsboy crying out: “Awl abawt the Hearsagovineyard war!” you may know that he means well enough. The sword surrendered by Napoleon 111. to Emperor William at Sedan was delivered, a Strasburg paper states, to Gen. Castlenau, by Prince Bismarck, in 1871. Mr. Sharon has tendered to Mrs. Rals ton a suite of seven rooms in the Palace Hotel, with private servants, a private coach and coachman, so long as she may see fit to use them. It’s a boy, and his father, the Gover nor of Arkansas, has named him “Po land Scudder Sayles Garland,” after the late Congressional Committee.— Wonder whether “Poland shrieks” much and keeps the Governor awake o’nights ? A Yankee has invented a milking ma chine that can be carried in a pocket book. Now if he were to invent a milch cow that could be carried in the coat tail pocket, his machines would sell more rapidly.—[Norristown Herald. When an Indiana farmer will take off his collar and use it to write down the errands his neighbors want him to do for them in town, no one can truth fully say that the world is degenerat ing in generosity. Tears start to the eyes of the Detroit man \j[ien, for the first time, he hears the sad strains of M. Quad’s song, “ Thinking of Our Childhood,” and in voluntarily he feels under his coat tail to see if that shingle is all right. A conscientious farmer in Lewiston, Maine, wiped the mud from his cart wheels before permitting his load of hay to go on the scales to be weighed. But such men are never sent to the Legislature.—| Norristown Herald. In New York last week Louisa Heuser, a pretty girl of fourteen, at tempted to commit suicide by drinking a pint of red ink. This sounds ink-red ible, but it is true. The physician didn’t order her to swallow a sheet of blot ting paper, because he didn’t think it would be write.—[Norristown Herald. When a fellow wakes up with a funny feeling down his back, and wants to put on a hat as big as a coal scuttle, it is evident that he has been eating oat meal. Dio Lewis says that nutritious substance expands the brain. SPECIAL NOTICES. DIVIDEND NO. 2 | National Bank of Sjgusta. ) Augusta, Ga., Oct |>er i, 1875.)
