Slje Cotrstitnfiotmlisi 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.” Kellogg is translating a scientific work from the French. No opera bouffe. SPECIAL NOTICES*!
