Sljc Constitutionalist AUGUSTA, GA..: Tuesday Morning, October, 5, 1875 Grant’s Speech—Another Conundrum. That President Grant should read a moderately long speech from manu script was an event sufficiently start ling to be telegraphed, and, of course, has set the press-hive in motion. The Washington politicians are reported as regarding this Des Moines oration “an unerring indication that the Presi dent means business, and that dealing as it does with live topics, is a distinct notice to politicians and people that he does not mean to be remanded to a back seat without, at all events, a very vigorous and determined resistance. Some are satisfied, and among them are more than one personally familiar with the Presidential characteristics, that the occasion now availed of by Gen. Grant Is an Indubitable token of the possession of that remarkable pres cience which has seemed on former oc casions to have come to him just in the nick of time. That the speech will create a sensation throughout the whole country is certainly to be expect ed, as also that it will bring the Presi dent prominently forward in the politi cal arena. It looks as if this Presiden tial sphinx had arrived at the conclu sion that for him silence no longer is golden.” If the President-General really means to try for a third term, in spite of the snubbing he has experienced from every State that has had a voice, save South Carolina, we may look for lively times in Republican ranks. Grant will fight hard for his loaves and fishes and die game, if ho has to succumb at all. When the President said he had “no apology to make for the past,” he pos sibly conceded that all who differed from him were equally tenacious of their opinion. The liberal sentiments expressed toward the South are not new. We have heard them before and know just what they are worth, although we do not believe the President half as wicked in carrying out bad laws as Sumner, Greeley, Wilson, Trumbull, Thad Stevens & Cos., were in instituting them. It has been shrewdly remarked, in this connection, that recent events have made hi3 declarations of kindness toward the South somewhat super fluous. “Southern outrages” have ceased to pay in more ways than one as Radical campaign slogans. The President’s statement that the dividing line hereafter will not be Ma son and Dixon’s, but between patriot ism and intelligence on one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other, is somewhat puzzling. If he claims for the Republican party a surplus of intelligence among the voters, there are 900,000 negroes who rather take the conceit out of him; if patriotism shall consist in perpetuating the illegitimate results of the war, he will find perchance that that sort of tom-foolery is at a serious discount even in the East. We would have been glad to know what Gen. Grant’s ideas are respecting the constituents of “su perstition” and ‘ambition.” Of the latter wo recognize His Excellence as a model; did he mean by denouncing “supersti tion” that the colored brethren must clear the track ? The President has a word of com mendation for free speech, free thought, free presses, pure morals and unfet tered religious sentiments. Until the advent of Lincoln and Seward, who paved the way for Grant, all of these blessings wore of vigorous enjoyment iu the United States. The President’s party was the first to make them a nullity for a considerable period. “Pure morals ” are sadly needed, and it is to be hoped that, under a Democratic Ad ministration, a sweeping reform shall be inaugurated, especially at Washing ton. We subjoin the comments, in part, of the Baltimore Sim,which are admira bly to the point: Wemustsay for the President that he has not only proved In his Des Moines ad dress that he can compose an oration of some length, but that he exhibits in it creditable acquaintance with the elemen tary principles of civil and religious liber ty. When we are told to ‘‘keep the church and State forever separate,” we recognize a maxim which we remember to have seen in the primer of American Republican education. Wo trust that there is at any rate no danger of an immediate union of church and State here The practice of preaching political sermons in the pulpits, which has prevailed somewhat northward of us from the earliest times, seems now to be gradually dying out, and it must be at least fifteen years since deputations of the clergy waited upon the Executive at Wash ington to influence his public action in a particular direction. We can also recog nize the excellence of General Grant’s advice, which would indeed be appro priate in any pulpit in tho land. “Leave the matter of religion to the family altar.” We do not suppose the President to mean by this excellent sen timent that religion should be left at the family altar so as not to be taken by a man into any of the duties of life, or to be prac ticed at all except when he is on his knees. On the contrary, his idea no doubt is that religion should be kept out of politics.— Hence we suggest to those who would in troduce religious tests for political office that the learned and exemplary theologian at the head of the Government is entirely opposed to such a policy. As to what the President says of the dividing line here after being between patriotism and intelli gence on one side, and superstition, ambi tion and ignorance on the other, we cannot doubt that the former will be always over whelmingly in the ascendant in this free and educated country. If by superstition is meant an ignorant or irrational wor ship of the Supreme Being, the allusion of the President may possibly be to the “ heathen Chinee,” who are, however, in a helpless minority ; or, if it refers to fanaticism, which often disregards Scripture and reason under the false assumption of enjoying a direct guidance from heaven, or acting under a “higher law,” we have seen no re cent exhibition of it which ought to cause any uneasiness. As to ignorance and ambi tion, they are, no doubt, dangerous to this Republic, as they always have been to for mer republics, and the President does well to put his countrymen on their guard against their public enemies. An ignorant man is not the best material out of which to make a voter. Imueh less an official in a republic; and an ambitious man, in the sense in which that word is used by Gen. GBANT-that is, having an immediate ten dency to self-exaltation and to holding on to public honors and pelf without regard to the general interests, deserves from the community the emphatic condemnation which the President invokes upon his head. There are catch-penny phrases in the President’s speech which he very likely hopes may become proverbs for per sonal utility, in case the office-holders and carpet-baggers put him forward I for the Presidency in 1876, which is by !no means improbable. Already the Chicago Tribune proclaims that he “has struck the key-note of future politics.” If this opinion be shared considerably, Grant will come forward again to succeed himself, or else be sub jected to a drubbing which may remind him that Appomattox has some “ re sults” not calculated upon in 1865-66. The President as a Parmer—A Bad Show for His Excellency. Details have reached us of the sale of President Grant’s thoroughbreds. This sale was caused by an annual loss of $9,000, a flow of cash in the wrong direction being hateful to the redoubt able Ulysses as it is to every other man of thrift. The President, we learn, at tributes his failure as a stock farmer to the fact that he could not give his property in the West the benefit of personal supervision. Be this as it may, the sales were ludicrously low, as a general thing, and, In two instances, must have galled his self-esteem. The “Nellie Grant team.” two beautiful black mares, could not be forced above $112.50. That was bad enough, but here is something much worse and may be very ominous. We quote from the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, a Re publican paper: Considerable sensation was created when the “Vicksburg mare” was led out, and an nounced as tho animal which the great mil itary chieftain rode in his far-famed Vicks burg campaign. The “Vicksburg mare” appeared to be a most gentle and patient creature, her mild eyes surveying the crowd that surroundod her with a marked expression of docility and tractableness. She had nothing of that fierce look, nor the dilating nostrils, nor the impatient pawing which is popularly supposed to character ize the war horse. In color she is a dark, mouse-hued animal, and her hair and hide <iid not glisten as if she had been groomed with assiduous care. Her height Is about fifteen hands, and her size a little below the medium, though an exceedingly well knit frame betrayed unusual strength for such a size. She must have been quite a comely and graceful animal once upon a time, but long service upon the farm and arduous la bors and responsibilities as a brood mare have destroyed all her original elegancies and given her the appearance of an ordi dinary plebeian beast. The first bid for the "Vicksburg mare” was $lO, a disgracefully low price for such a famous equine relic. The bidders, how ever, seemed to be as eminently practical in refusing to place any value upon the glorious associations of the mare as tho President was unsentimental in sacrificing what many would have regarded as a valuable souvenir of the past. Horsemen have very little sentiment when it comes to buying horse flesh, and the noted animal was fated to go for a song as did her com panions. The final bid was $56, and Mr. H. D. Hatch the bidder. Another relic was “Old Joe,” the Presi dent’s saddle-horse before the war. Joe looked like he might be seventy-five years old, and various accidents by flood and field had left their Imprint upon his ancient skin and bones. His left hip had been stove in, and, as a by-stander remarked, his gait was exceedingly cranky and un dulating. His tail seemed to be the health iest part of his anatomy, and the auction eer eloquently remarked that he was not much of a horse, but that he had a splendid tail to grow to. “Old Joe” was bought by Bill Evans, a gentleman of color, for SlO. Considering the “ services rendered” by these animals, and the fact that so remarkable a man as Grant once be strode them, in memorable days, it would seem that some enterprising relic hunter might have bought them in honor of the President-General or for show purposes. It may occur to the ordinary reader that Grant himself might have purchased and taken care of them, as old and faithful servants. The probability is that Grant has little use for “squeezed lemons,” man or beast, and no sentiment at all. The by-standers apparently shared his ma terial views and had no more heroical notions about the President than he had about his discardedjfanimals. Cer tain it is, at any rate, that Gen. Grant has suffered severely from shrinkage of securities, and as a Granger is a first-class failure. His long run of luck has begun to turn. If the people have so little care for him and his now, what will their feelings be when he “steps down and out” as the Executive of the United States and Dispenser of Patronage. We shudder at his fall and its inevitable results. Poe’s Remains.— The Baltimore Sun says : “It was found necessary, in or der to get space required for the foun dation of the monument, to remove the remains of Poe to’ the grave of Mrs. Clemm, his relative, buried near by. The remains were found about five feet below ground. The coffin at first ap pearances seemed to be sound, but when raised the sides were found de cayed and fell to pieces. Nothing re mained insidq the coffin but the skele ton, all the flesh and grave clothes having long since returned to dust. Some hair yet attached to the skull, and the teeth, which appeared all white and perfect, were shaken out of the jaws and lay on the bottom of the cof fin. The old coffiQ and contents were placed entire as exhumed in a wooden case and lowered into the new grave and closed up. The stones for the foundation of the monument were put in place, and everything is now pre pared for the superstructure.” A Rare Bird.—The Courier-Journal says : “Bankers about to fall have been set a bright example by Mr. J. W. Vir tue whose assets amount to $264,277.43, and his liabilities are $148,981.51, leaving balance in his favor of $115,295.91. No man need go off and drown himself as long as he can produce such figures as these.” Here we have an example, and a rare one, of a man who got, “der capi tal and der oxperience” both. Tit for Tat. —The Baltimore Gazette fulminates against Mr. Wallis for try ing to disorganize the Maryland De mocracy. The editor seems to foiget that he was recently engaged in the effort to defeat Gov. Allen in Ohio and disorganize the Democracy in that State. Mr. Wallis has given him a home thrust and while he exulted at tweedledum he squeals at tweedledee. j Mr. Estes and City Affairs. Whatever may be the opinions of the Constitutionalist of Mayor Estes and municipal affairs, we shall express them respectfully. The Mayor is very well able to defend himself, as he has proved before to-day; and no harm will be done him by buffoonery. We adhere to the sentiments outlined in former issues of this paper, viz: that the or dinance increasing the Mayor’s salary should be repealed; that economy should pervade all branches of the city government; that no broker should ever again handle the unsold bonds of this city ; and that if the present members of Council are, as intimated, mere men of straw or men of Jputty, they should be displaced and other men elected who will control affairs. For our part, we have not charged thattthe members of Council are mere ciphers and, in justice to these gentlemen, we would say that their concurrence with the Mayor’s policy has' most likely been founded upon confidence in his judg ment and practical character. If the people, however, think otherwise, the remedy is in their hands, and there is plenty of material for gratifying their wish for a change. We are likewise impressed with the belief that a large majority of the voters of this city desire Mr. Estes to accept the nomination for a sixth time. If this boa mistake, let the opposition organize and prove its fallacy. One thing is very certain: Mayor Estes can not be defeated by abuse. That he has committed mistakes we are confi dent, not the least memorable of which is having permitted, along with the Finance Committee, many bonds of this city to pass out of the hands of the Treasurer and Into those of John J. Cohen & Sons, whose failure, no matter how caused, has shown that whatever of the Dutchman’s “ oxperi ence ” Mayor Estes may have, he cer tainly did not, keep the “ capital.” If It be an error to suppose that a majority of the people’of this city en titled to vote favor Mr. Estes’ nomi nation to the Mayoralty for the sixth time, on the ground that he shall have the odium or the glory of carrying to a conclusion the great works inaugurated under his regime, .we say, in all frank ness, that no time is to be lost in orga nizing against him. Until such an orga nization shall assume proportions really formidable, we must, most respectfully, decline to believo that he is doomed to defeat. If this is defending the Mayor, be it so. Wo quarrel with no man’s privilege of assuming or asserting what he conceives to be a fact. But, in our judgment, Mr. Estes will be found very capable of defending himself, and, it may be, unless he has lost his pluck and acumen, that some persons who do not seem to recognize the gravity of the case will consider his defence the very reverse of “amoosin.” Tw r addle. —Vice-President Wilson said, at the Massachusetts Convention: “We cannot, as Americans, take pride in the singular fact that a stray note from an unknown bank in one of the British Provinces can be sold in State street for a premium of more than twelve per cent, over one of our legal tender notes, with all the wealth of forty millions of people behind it.” If such men as Wilson and his Abolition tribe had never existed, the United States would be to-day the foremost country on the globe in wealth, pro gress and morality. Men who are howl ing about the maimed finances of this country had better regard its maimed morals. Binding.—As an offset of General Grant’s present hard money theory, somebody haa called attention to the following 'extract from his message in 1873: “In view of the great actual contraction that has taken place in the currency, and the comparative contraction continually going on, due to the increase of population, increase of manufactories, and all the in dustries, I do not believe there is too much of it now for the dullest period of tho year.” Tho President has changed his mind, we presume. Settled—The Milledgevillo Union and Recorder declares that all are wrong about the “State News.” It says: “J. H. Nisbet, editor of the Federal Unwn, in 1851, claims this little honor, if honor it be. The flies of the Federal Union, from 1851, will prove it. His column was ‘Georgia News Items.’ ” South Carolina.— The Anderson In telligencer reads a severe lecture to the News and Courier. If the people of Charleston really want reform worth having, they might take counsel from such a paper as the Anderson Intelli gencer and be the better for it. Morrissey.— Rumor hath it that John Morrissey has abandoned gamb ling and sold out his establishments, preparatory to re-entering political life. Perhaps John is quitting one form of gambling for another. The Quickest. — The steamer City of Berlin has accomplished the quickest ocean trip on record. She made the passage from Queenstown to New York in seven days, eighteen hours and two minutes. Massachusetts.— The recent action of the Republican State Convention is looked upon as a defeat of Vice Presi dent Wilson. As a third term was de nounced, it can hardly be called a vic tory for Grant. Mr. Rice is one of the best known and most respectable business men of Boston. He was born in Newton, Mas sachusetts, in 1818, graduated at Union in 1844, was elected to the Common Council in Boston in 1853, being Presi dent of that body, and Mayor of Bos ton in 1856 and 1857, and in Congress for eight years. He has great strength in Boston and the eastern portion of the State, and is respected by the mer chants of that city. He was also for several years President of the Boston Board of Trade, and has long been a prosperous merchant. Delano is the tenth member of the Cabinet that has resigned since Grant became President. There has been less fixity of tenure in the Cabinet Depart ments than has characterized any pre vious Administration.
