AUGUSTA, OA,:
Wednesday Morning’, October, 6, 1875.
A Specimen of Ignorance or Hate.
There is a paper published in Wash
ington City called Forney's Sunday
Chronicle. In a recent number of that
sheet we find the following paragraph :
So far as the effects of the war were con
cerned, six months after its close the free
and loyal States were in a condition as
prosperous and as peaceable as they were
six years before its precipitation. But the
men of the South went down into the ashes
of despair, soured and curdled. They
showed no capacity to repair a single dam
age. They made no practical attempt to
recover a single loss; and the magnificent
mercy which was granted by an outraged
aud victorious government was not even
applied as It deserved to be to benefit those
far whose good it was designed.
A well-informed primary school pu
pil should be soundly thrashed if ca
pable of writing such driveL If the
“free and loyal States” had been de
vastated like the South, their institu
tions destroyed, their property in land,
stocks and labor almost, if not quite,
annihilated, they would have not only
gone to the dust of prostration, but re
mained there indefinitely, because they
raise nothing that the world abroad
specially desires and must have. Be
sides, tremendous as was the evil en
gendered by war in the field, it was as
nothing compared with the Congres
sional war of Reconstruction, which
would have crushed the North had con
ditions been reversed, but from which,
frightful and unnatural as it is, the
South is emerging while the Northern
bladder is collapsing. We are free to
say that nevor in all history or hum in
experience has any land beneath the
sun suffered the hardships endured by
the South and risen superior to them,
partly because of her vitality, and part
ly because of the recoil of oppression.
The “ mercy ” bestowed upon this sec
tion is that which the old Roman be
queathed a conquered province when
he “ made a solitude and called it
peace.” When the Austrians proposed
to rule Hungary, by Cossacks, after
the subjugation of that country, a cry
of horror rose from civilized Europe
and Francis Joseph was compelled, by
indignant public opinion, to furnish
his own barbarians, like Haynau,
who was subsequently whipped by
London brewers and had the de
cency, it is said, to cut his throat.
The rule of Haynau in Hungary
was not worse than that of many
satraps in tho South, backed, as they
were, by a horde of negro ex-slaves,
base adventurers of the white race and
native traitors to their blood and kin
dred. Rich, elastic and recuperative
ns the French are, they would have
never survived as well as we have un
der such a “combination of comprehen
sive despotism.”
After spending §1,000,000,000 to re
construct society here, in defiance of
God’s law, and been baffled in the at
tempt, the North has had to yield her
theory in practice, however, she may
still babble it at conventions and on the
stump. Let the Chronicle man look
homeward. The next four years will
bear in their train curses enough con
sequent upon the “mercy” shown the
South to “sour and curdle” the “milk
of human kindness” itself.
The Ohio Campaign—Desperate Effort
to Defeat Allen.
The Ohio contest is waxing exceed
ingly hot and fierce, aud a positive man
like Wm. Allen was well calculated to
make matters lively all around the po
litical compass. The real trouble is
not the “rag-money” feature in his
platform ; it Is his straight-out doc
trines and known hostility to the phil
osophy of the Greeley movement.
fThat is what is the matter with the
New York World and kindred' sheets.
We have now but little doubt that the
Wall street Ring will expend, if re
quired, not less than §1,000,000 to de
feat him. The power of this money is
all that need be feared in the Ohio elec
tion. The progress of the canvass there
all good and truejmen must watch with
intense interest. Up to ten days ago Al
len had the inside track and was leading
the way most gallantly. It is to be
hoped that he may still continue to do
so. But it cannot be denied that, very
recently, tremendous efforts have been
made by the money-holders of New
York, Republican and Democratic, so
called. It is difficult, at this distance,
to judge accurately of the result of this
great spurt of .the Shylock cabal, but
they have of late plucked up spirit and
are making, in the press, a much more
confident showing for their side. The
home-stretch of the next few days will
be the most interesting part of the can
vass and upon its results, as De Toc
queville said of another matter, “most
momentous consequences” will depend.
We rejoice to see, from our latest ex
changes, that Governor Allen himself
is no way disconcerted at the terrific
onslaught of his enemies. It is re
ported that, when asked his candid
opinion of the chances of the campaign,
he said he had no doubt whatever of
the election of the entire Democratic
State ticket by majorities ranging from
30,000 to 60,000. The person who
elicited this statement adds ; “There
has been no doubt in the minds of
Democrats here of a Democratic suc
cess, but the opinion of a gentleman
having the opportunity for gaining ac
curate personal knowledge that the
Democratic standard bearer has had
during this campaign increases their
zeal to enthusiasm.”
Heaven grant that even the anticipa
tions of Gov. Allen will be surpassed
by the final result 1
Ralston.— lt is now said that the
turning point of Ralston’s career was
the earthquake at San Francisco in
1868. He had invested enormously in
real estate and that commotion of the
earth demoralized all speculation in
real estate and sett values of improved
property down to the point of financial
destruction.
”
Sad. —It is now ascertained that the
drowning of Dr. Pobteocs and his com
panions was caused by intoxication of
the boating party, the Doctor included.
Piling Up Debt—A Startling Exhibit.
In contemplating the national debt,
in all its stupendous proportions, atten
tion has'been diverted from the enor
mous corporate indebtedness of the
cities and towns of the United States.
The New York Express has taken the
trouble to group together some awe
inspiring facts and figures. We quote:
State debts $382,970,517
Cuunty debts 180,000,000
Municipal debts 769,000.000
Total $1,331,970,517
“This is a local indebtedness of §3O
per capita for all the people in the
United States, and is three times as
great as the local indebtedness per
capita in Great Britain. The strain in
this country is more notable when we
count interest, which probably ave
rages 7 per cent., or §93,000,000 an
nually, while the interest on the Brit
ish local indebtedness does not exceed
§15,000,000 a year. "While the interest
on our national debt is more than
§20.000,000 less than Great Britain pays
on its national debt, the total interest
we pay yearly on all debts is from
§40,000,000 to §50,000,000 more than
Great Britain pays on its total indebt
edness.
“ A statement of fifteen cities —New
York, Philadelphia, Boston, Brooklyn,.
St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Jersey
City, Louisville, Newark, Cleveland,
San Francisco, Providence, Albany,
Milwaukee—shows that the taxable
valuation of property has increased
nearly §1,000,000,000 within the last
five years, and the tax levy in these
cities, which was §64,000,000 in 1869-
’7O, was §97,500.000 in 1874-75. In not
one of these cities was the debt re
duced in these five years, so that the
increase of taxation was devoted, aside
from payment of interest on bonded
debts, to paying off current expenses
and local improvements. In 1870 the
whole sum raised by State, county and
municipal taxes was §280,000,000, and
careful estimate now places the reve
nue from the same sources at §363,-
000,000 annually. This is without the
increase of debt. Deducting State taxes,
the county and municipal governments
raise §295,000,000 a year, and have
added §430,000,'300 to their debt in five
years. If this is correct our local gov
ernment really costs, in taxes and in
creased debt, §380,000,000 annually, or
more than the entire annual revenue of
Great Britain for all purposes, which
is §376,000,000.”
To the financier who appreciates such
a monstrous exhibit these presenta
tions are enough to shock him from
centre to circumference, especially if
he be a philosopher as well as a cafcu
lator. He would not fail to estimate
what the taxation must bo to meet
such prodigious obligations, aud how
dangerous to liberty the tyranny of
that taxation will become.
Spinner-Tlie Champion Aivful Dodger
The political world of New York is a
curious jumble. On the Democratic
ticket, John Bigelow, nominee for Sec
retary of State, was one of the black
est of black Republicans ; on the Re
publican ticket old man Spinner, nomi
nee for Comptroller, on a hard money
platform, pops up in a painfully dubi
ous attitude on the financial question.
His blast against the national banks
has created a sensation in the ranks of
the faithful, and the high priests of the
Radical temple are fearful lest they
have caught a Tartar. The New York
Evening Post goads the vivacious Spin
ner in this fashion':
What kind of a hard money man have the
Republicans nominated for Comptroller ?
What do Mr. Spinner's mysterious
threats against the banks mean ? Does he
believe with inflationists that all the na
tional bank notes ought to be retired and
“greenbacks” issued to replace them?
What other significance can there bo in Mr
Spinner’s intimation that the banks will
be deprived of their circulation unless they
“ hold their horses ’’’—whatever that may
mean. Of all strange political spectacles
probably there never was a stranger one
than this of the candidate of a hard-money
party referring with evident satisfaction
to “ the deep feeling among the masses of
the people in favor of a currency of coin
and paper” to be “issued exclusively by
the United States,” and pointing to “the
action of the Democratic party ” in the in
flation conventions “in the States of Ohio
and Pennsylvania ” as a warning of what
may happen in the event of “a conflict”
between “ the banks ” and “ the people.”
The drift of the remarks of Mr. Spinner
is to show that what is really meant
is a conflict between hard-money and paper
currency. The best thing the Republicans
can do is to start Mr. Spinner at once up
on his journey to Florida and to nominate
some other person for Comptroller. The
man who can write so loosely and reck
lessly on a grave public question is not tit
to be trusted with the administration of an
important financial office. His folly may
easily lose the State more than his honesty*
however unimpeachable, can save it. The
Republicans in this State have declared in
favor of a sound currency. It is absurd for
them to ask the people to vote for a candi
date who is not above suspicion in his
loyalty to a sound currency. The letter
from which the foregoing extracts are
made puts the writer under strong sus
picion. The first impression derived from
it is that Mr. Spinner is in favor of an ex
clusive governmental paper currency. If
he Is not. what is he in favor of ?
Gen. Wheeler—A Sensation Spoiled.
The Cincinnati Enquirer had a story,
the other day, that Gen. Wheeler, the
cavalry game cock of Confederate
times, had been taken up as a drunken
tramp and duly consigned to the cala
boose. Moralizing over the retribution
that had overtaken a “rebel chief” was
suddenly blasted by the following let
ter :
Richmond, Va., October 1, 1875.
I take great pleasure in correcting a little
article going the rounds of newspapers
which does great Injustice to a gallant ex-
Confederate officer. The tall, haggard
looking tramp who claimed to be General
Wheeler was mistaken in the name. Our
General Wheeler was General Joe Whee
ler, a dashing cavalry officer, and, I think,
by birth a Georgian. I have seen him often
during the time Bragg was at Murfrees
boro. And General Joe Wheeler was a
small man, of low stature, and something
over thirty years old, possibly. To-day he
cannot be more than forty-five years of
age, if he is that. Ho married since the
war a Virginia wealthy lady, and now lives
near Decatur, Alabama, and was never
given to dissipation that we ever heard of.
I am glad to t>e able to correct this re
port about one of the gallant cavaliers of
our lost cause. Mrs. L, D. Whitson,
of Murfreesboro, Tenn.
A Dark Seance. —Some person,
claiming to be “of African descent,”
writes us a long, wild, rambling and
well nigh incoherent letter upon the
wrongs of his race. One of the chief
points of grievance is that negro men
and women are sometimes called “boys”
and “girls.” He wants to know “why
is this thus ?” In the first place it is
hard to break an old habit and we pre
sume that men who thus address the
colored people have been so ac
customed to these terms, In old times,
that they can not readily discard them.
Some writers on ethnology claim that
the negro race, in the mass, do not
grow intellectually beyond the capacity
of a white boy of fifteen, and hence the
nomenclature objectod to is absolutely
correct. We have frequently remarked
that the negroes themselves are curious
in the matter of titles. They almost in
variably speak of a “white man” and a
“white woman” and a “colored gentle
man” and “colored lady.”
Tilden. —Your New York Democrat
is a queer compound. He has the
voice of Jacob and the hands of Esau.
We are not surprised to learn, from
the Chicago Tribune, that Tilden is
seriously spoken of as Republican can
didate for the Presidency. The pro
gramme is as follows: “The rag
money men are likely to be in a major
ity in the National Democratic Conven
tion, and if they are, and do not aban
don their theories, there will be a split,
and tho sound currency wing of the
party will tako Gov. Tilden for its
standard-bearer. Such a nomination,
sustained by the Governor’s reputa
tion, for reform, and by the concessions
which he has made to the Independ
ents and Republicans, would give him
a strong hold upon the Republican
Convention, and quite possibly lead to
his endorsement.”
A Trimmer. —The Cincinnati En
quirer takes some of the wind out of
the sails of ex-Senator Schurz, thus :
“Carl Schurz stands convicted before
the people of Ohio. Only last year he
stumped Missouri in behalf of the Inde
pendent party. The platform of that party
declared that a further contraction of the
national currency would be detrimental to
the producing classes, and emphatically
opposed to any further steps in that di
rection. That is one of tiie vital principles
of the Ohio Democratic platform. Where
were Mr. Schurz’s profound convictions
last year?”
The great Schurz had not then been
dismissed from service in Missouri;
and a recent trip to Europe very likely
made him the tool, and the well-paid
one doubtless, of bondholders abroad
and at home.
Big Guns. —The English have made
some successful experiments with a can
non which discharges a 1,228 pound
ball. It is said that before long Eu
gland will possess a 160 ton gun firing
a one ton shot, which at one mile range
can tear the strongest iron-clad all to
pieces.
A Romantic Story— A Penitent for
Others Sins.
The Paris correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph says:
Those who frequented, ten years
ago, the Church of St. Yiucentde Paul,
must have noticed a young woman per
forming in periods of feasting, as well
as fasting, the stations of the cross.
She was said to belong to the German
colony in the northeastern corner of
the town, between the Chemin de Fer
du Nord. Her appearance was Teu
tonic. She had tho sky-blue eye of
Saxony, flaxen hair, the gilding of
wh'ch had been absorbed by the pale
complexion, and mixing with it pro
duced a sallow tinge. Her fore
head was high and bulging, and
the face expressive of concentration.
Sometimes she lay flat on her face in
the lateral chapel dedicated to saints
whose patronage she has solicited. The
beadle whispered to any one whom
curiosity led to question him that she
calumniated herself in doing such heavy
penances. She was a respectable girl,
and might have been disappointed in
love, but was reputed to have led a
perfectly honest life. What was her
rank ? It was hard to say. She was
the daughter of a rich coach builder,
who brought her up in the homely
ways of the Thuringian Wald from
which he came. His name was Luther,
and he claimed descent from the great
Dr. Martin who burned the Papal
bull in the public place of Wit
tenburg. The worthy man was
proud of his ancestor. Unknown to
him, his daughter—l believe she was
his only child—embraced the Romist
creed; and used to go and pray, while,
he was building carriages, in the neigh
boring church; to which she was at
tracted by the dreamy Flaudriu’spaint
ingj. When Jacob Luther died, it ap
pears she entered a convent dedicated
to St. Vincent de Paul, and though she
brought a liberal dower, she elect
ed to be classed with the lay sisters,
and do menial work. Her death is an
nounced. The unhappy nun killed her
self with mortification, which she
courted to atone for the sins of her an
cestors, the Reformer, and of his wife,
Catherine Bora, with whom she deem
ed he had contracted a sacrilegious
marriage.
Dull Boys. —Don’t bo discouraged.
Slow growth is often sure growth.
Some minds are like Norwegian pines.
Tbey are slow in growth, but they are
striking their roots deep. Some of the
greatest men have been dull boys. Dry
den and Swift were dull as boys ; so
was Goldsmith ; so was Gibbon ; so was
Sir Walter Scott. Napoleon, at school,
had so much difficulty in learning his
Latin that the master said it would
need a gimlet to get a word into his
head. Douglass Jerrold was so back
ward in his boyhood that at the age of
nine he was scarcely able to read.
Isaac Barrow, one of the greatest di
vines the Church of England has ever
produced, was so impenetrably stupid
in his early years that his father more
than once said that if God took away
any of his children, he hoped it would
be Isaac, as he feared he would never
be fit for anything in this world. Yet
that boy was the genius of the family.
Marshal MacMahon’s position with
respect to the different parties in France
is well illustrated by the following
story, which also shows that he is not
wholly devoid of wit; “One of the nota
bilities of the Bonapartist party, on
hearing of the removal of Vice Admiral
de la Ronciere le Noury, posted off to
the Palace of the Elysees to see the
gallant President of the Republic, with
whom he is on familiar terms. ‘My
dear Marshal,’ said he alluding to the
disgraced Vice Admiral, ‘beware of the
Orleanists tbey are deceiving you.’ The
President smilingly replied: ‘My dear
sir, you saw that person who left as
you entered. Well, he said exactly the
same thing about you.”

not saved your money by buying coal
at summer prices. You can’t get it now
from me at summer rates. Some tried it
yesterday, and only two succeeded, and
they had just returned to the city. Those
