AUGUSTA,
Saturday Morning, October, 2, 1875.
Business Scandal-Mongers.
[From the Halifax (N. S.) Citizen.l
They have a capital statute upon the
books in New York, which we would be
glad to see largely copied elsewhere if
it could be properly carried out, but
unfortunately the law, so far, has been
little better than a dead letter. The
purpose of the statute, which was
passed some time since at the instance
of the Stock Exchange, is to provide a
penalty for the punishment of persons
guilty of circulating false reports
as to the standing of commercial
houses. The intention is a praiseworthy
one. There is nothing in the world so
important to a business iirm as its good
name, and there is every reason why
they should be proctected in its enjoy
ment. If the law takes hold of and
punishes the thief who breaks into a
man’s shop and carries off a few arti
cles of trifling value, much more should
its severity be visited upon the thief
who robs him of his good name. The
loss of a small quantity of goods is
nothing, but these are seasons when
the faintest suggestion of unsound
ness, a whisper or a shake of the
head might prove ruinous. Some
time ago when the stringency in
the money market was felt here
most severely, and when no one
could feel perfectly secure, rumors
affecting the credit of business people,
whose standing had hitherto been un
questioned, were circulated freely from
mouth to mouth as ordinary topics of
conversation. Such an one had been
forced to ask for an extension of time.
Such an one was endeavoring to make
a compromise, and such an one would
be obliged to close down altogether.
In some cases these rumors were
wholly unfouuded, aud the persons
affected were as sound as the banks.
In others, though feeling the
all-prevailing times, the parties
only required to be easily dealt
with to come out square. It is mani
fest that it must be a serious injury to
a man in this position to have his finan
cial status made the subject of all sorts
of alarming rumors. Nothing has a
greater tendency to bring his creditors
down upon him, and make inevitable a
giving way under a pressure which
might have been successfully resisted.
No offense is more deserving of an ex
emplary punishment than the diligent
circulation of these same idle rumors.
They are difficult to trace, they are dif
ficult to contradict, and they have gen
erally done their work before they can
be effectually counteracted. A rumor
affecting a man’s credit is simply
scandal iu one of its meanest forms,
and even if statutory penalties do not
suffice to coirect the evil, we should
think a proper feeling of self-respect
on the part of the public would. Let
people studiously refuse to circulate
these rumors themselves, aud set their
face against the practice in others. Iu
New York the reputation of several
sound business houses was assailed
the other day, and interested parties
have determiueu that the statute shall
be a dead letter no louger. They have
taken steps to trace the rumors to their
source, aud avow that if the originat
ors can be discovered they will be pur
sued without mercy. It is believed that
even if the effort fails it will be an
even worse sign of general demoraliza
tion than the frequency with which
such reports are started and circulated.
A. T. Stewart’s Ten Thousand Dollar
Carpet.
Among the many treasures owned by
the “merchant prince” is a magnificent
carpet, which was once intended to
grace the halls of royalty, having been
manufactured for the Emperor Napo
leon. Its size is about forty feet square.
The centre-piece, its most prominent
object, occupying nearly one-half of the
whole area, represents a beautiful oval
shaped picture set in a gold frame, and
suitably hung, would at a distance be
easily mistaken for an elegant painting.
The picture shows the harbor, castle
and surrounding country of Marseilles,
France. Iu the foreground, one is
charmed by the blue water and the
stately ships at anchor; further back
the harbor and uucieDt castle, rising
grandly in its magnigeent whiteness
against the green foliage enveloping the
base of the mountains which form the
back ground and lift their heads into a
blue sky, flaked with fleecy clouds. Na
poleon’s coat of arms surmounts the
picture, and a Latin motto, wrought in
gold on blue ribbon’-like ground, esli
half unrolled at the base.
Immediately surrounding this lovely
picture, in a bed of rich brown, is a
garland of beautiful flowers, much
1 irger than natural size, but so brilliant
and so delicately and accurately repre
sented that it seems as if one might
stoop and lift the petals one from an
other. Outside of this garland, and
serving as a border to the carpet, is a
wreath formed of overlapping oak
leaves and acorns, also in natural
colors, their various shades of green
and brown blending iu exquisite beauty.
It is quite impossible to give an idea
of this wonderful fabric, which was
made with the needles of poor women,
who wrought it in sections and set to
gether, after the manner of the camel’s
hair shawls. Its texture is as delicate
as a silken robe, and no painter could
portray color or detail with greater
skill. It actually cost §IO,OOO to make
it. Mr. Stewart saw it at the Paris
Exposition, and purchased it as a
novelty to exhibit to friends who visit
his “up-town” store.
' A-
A Conundrum.
Mu. Editor: la your issue of July
17th the following paragraph occurs in
the local editorial column :
“ We understand that the Board of
Directors of the Planters Loan and
Savings Bank are preparing an elabo
rate statement, which will be satisfac
tory to all stockholders.”
The summer has passed. The ex-
President has sold out, and now, with
the nuts of October, statements with
shrinkage in values are in order. Give
us your statement, gentlemen of the
Directors, including real estate trans
actions in all its branches.
Stockholder.
The Documents. —Saturday morning
two colored citizins entered the City
Hall and inquired of the County Clerk
if he would let them see the city direc
tory.
“Want to find someone one?” he
asked as he shoved it across the
desk.
“You see, boss, it’s jist dis way.” re
plied one of the men. “I spell cat with
a great big ‘C,’ and he spells cat with
two ‘t’s’ on de end, and we has come
here to see the documents.”
The clerk gave them his way of spell
ing, and they went away to get a bet
out of someone on spelling “cat.”
At Quebec, last week, a deaf and
dumb sailor, charged with deserting his
ship, cross-examined the witness, who
was also a deaf mute, by signs, and
made an eloquent speech to the magis
trate in the same language. He was
acquitted.
The man who says that alum and
salt will cure toothache is wanted in
Detroit for an hour or two —just long
enough to prevent the doctors from
ever being able to fix up his broken
bones.
Mr. Norton, a Texas editor, has whis
kers three feet long, and his wife has
begged and begged of him to cut them
off and let her have them for a mop.
