AUGUSTA, QA,: Friday Morning, October, 8, 1875. Fact and Theory—The Coming Con test-Nemesis Abroad. As if replying plainly and practically to the elaborate dialectics of Schurz and Woodford, Gov. Allen is reported to have said that “in all great contests in which the .many are struggling to maintain some prerogatives of power which are threatened by the stronger or richer k few, * the whole matter, dis guised as it may be by the name of currency, National backs, or what not, resolves itself at last into the plain question whether the country shall be governed by the man or by the dollar. That is the whole question, and there never was any other question in this country.” The power of money in combination is almost irresistible when employed against the multitude who, by their very necessities, are subject to its per suasion or coercion. A few remarkable spirits have appeared in the world, outside of religious orders, who were impervious to the temptation of honors and emoluments, like Rousseau and Beranger, but the ma jority of mankind, when reduced to direst extremities, will sell honor, repu tation, chastity, even the hope of heaven, for the slave of the mine. In the Ohio contest, before the moneyed men of the East, Democrat and Republican, began pouring their treasure and speakers, purchased for a price, into the campaign, It really looked as if Gov. Allen had an easy walk over. But, unless all signs fail, the situation has changed, and while the old Roman may conquer, and effectually too, it is certain that his road to victory has become more and more thorny, and the opposi tion have displayed energy, confidence and enthusiasm, of late, by no means in consonance with their earlier laxity, dosperation and want of fervor. How has this happened if not power of money ? When it is remembered how great the stake is in Ohio, politi cally and financially, no astonishment need be evinced that a rich and formi dable class, at home and in Europe, should “bleed” profusely, and willingly likewise, in order to defeat Allen and practically save themselves from a threatened deluge. Who can blame them? In their place, how many men would sacrifice their possessions and privileges for the benefit of the common herd ? Precious few, we venture to as sert. Hence it is, that if Allen can be overthrown by money, hi3 fate is sealed. On the other hand, it may be that the popular wave can be checked, but not altogether buffeted back, aud that the supply of greenbacks neces sary to effect the object desired is not adequate or not judiciously appro priated. How far this project is a suc cess, and how far a failure, the future will presently disclose. Meanwhile, be the campaign in Ohio what it will, and result as it may, the struggle over the finances can not be settled at a blow. In our advices of yesterday, we see those prophets of storm, Wendell Phillips and Benjamin F. Butler, com ing to the fore. They have dealt as they deemed proper with the South, and now seem determined to make the North tremble. Butler especially is gathering his forces for the fray, and, in the rattling of dry bones and curious conglomerations of the po litical world, he may be found in strange company. He is to speak in $ New York on the 14th inst., and we predict that his utterances will be memorable, for he is if one of the wick edest, also one of the most intellectual men in this country. How he will treat the financial problem, his letter to Mr. Eugene Beebe, Secretary of the Legal Tender Club, will give an inkling. Here it is: Boston, October 3. Dear Sir : I have the honor to acknowl edge the receipt of yours of the 28th, telling me what must be the case—that real prop erty in the city of New York was passing into the hands of the mortgagees, and leav ing a deficit even then. This is a result of the endeavor to contract the values of every kind of property except invested debt, through legislation voted for in Con gress by more than sixty Bank Directors, voting in their own interest, under a ruling of parliamentary law made by another Bank Director. It is impossible that the people of this country will permit this state of business ruin long to continue. “I read in the Associated Press dispatches yesterday the saddest sentence that has ever come to my eye. Speaking of the Fall River troubles, a manufacturer said: ‘The courage is all taken out of the opera tives. They will submit to anything for work.’ You have been writing me, and I have been replying, upon the subject of the reduction of values of property by this system of contraction; but what shall we say of tho reduction of men into slaves by this system of contraction? Men, full white, and twenty-one, crushed down iu spirit until they will submit to anything, simply ‘to get work!’—an opportunity to earn their bread by tho swoat of their face —not a right to partake of the blessing of God to His creatures on earth—to submit to anything for the privilege only to enjoy the primeval curse? “How long, oh, Lord, how long shall such things be? The end, sooner or later, must surely come in this — that the working men and women will be obliged to call for their wages invested in savings banks, and that amount is greater than the capital of the National Banks, although it enjoys none of the fifteen per cent, dividends of the latter institutions; and when that call comes the money-lender at usury must stand from under, and may find himself as much bro ken in spirit as the working man is now, and 'ready to submit to any thing for work.’ “Ycurs, truly, Benj. f. Butler.” That the money power will make a supreme effort to maintain Itself and shrink at nothing in the endeavor, is as certain as an axiom in mathematics. That the masses are aroused against them, and will be still more kept up to the boiling point, is equally true. Out of such a contest, then, will either spring a vast popular triumph or a despotism. Grant sees this and has been playing his cards accordingly. We predict that, within a year, both Republicans and Democrats will be startled at the turn taken by the political kaleidoscope. The “re sults of the war” against the 3outh are developing into a magnitude little dreamed of by the ar chitects of our ruin. It is natural that Butler & Cos., having destroyed negro slavery and thereby enslaved the white laborers of the North, should now ap pear in the roles of friends of the very serfs among them, made so by the war of the States and the subsequent war of Reconstruction against the South. We of the South, though deeply inter ested in the consequences of this mighty strife, can, with some compla cency, watch the infuriated combat ants and, standing by, await the com pensations of justice, the retribution of inflexible laws and the inevitable revenges of time. Grant. A “ German-American,” writing to the Philadelphia Times , tells some plain truths. He says the men who laugh at Grant’s aspirations may laugh on the wrong side of their mouths pretty soon and that the course adopted by certain of the Democratic presses is well calculat ed to help the President-General to a third term. He thus concludes : It is useless to affect to deal with this matter in the ordinary American style. You have to do something to awaken the ma°ses to see the danger. I discover every day that the average man on this continent is absolutely unprepared for the struggle of 1876. It is useless to deal with 1876 in the manner as house-carpenters build fqpr walls and put a roof on it, and then say they have built a house. I am truly puz zled. What are nine-tenths of the leaders of both parties, more corrupt or more ig norant? I have neither time to write nor you patience to read all I could say upon this subject. You (not knowing me) may as an “ American.” attribute my warnings to the fact that lam born abroad. In this way with a wave of the hand the average American tries to get rid of the matter. To this I would reply: 1 claim to have studied the ‘‘Grant” question as very few have. No one knows better than I that everything will be done under tho color of law. Thus you see I believe in no “ coup d’etat," in the sense of the Latin races. I write you these lines that you may know that there are a few—really very few —who soar above all what may be ordinarily written and said on the subject. I see the danger thicken ing every day. Grant’s saying in Des Moines is not a “speech,” but a manifesto, and ought not to be laughed at. That man, no matter where he was born, has a penetrating and sagacious intellect. We are approaching a crisis in our affairs which is one of the most momentous in the history of America. Keeley and his Motor. Keeley is not dead, and his inven tion, though in abeyance, does not slumber. A private exhibition was given of its power, the other day, be fore many prominent gentlemen, in cluding a Yice-Admiral of the English navy. The Times says: “Mr. Keeley showed to the satisfaction of all that he had the power of producing in a few moments, and out of the simplest ele ments, very considerable elastic force; so great, indeed, that being applied to a large lever heavily weighted the un precedented pressure of 1,750 pounds to the square inch was indicated by the gauge. But as this force was not con tinuous in its action, as was shown by the fact of the gauge declining from 1,750 pounds to 500 pounds in half an hour, the suggestion was made by one of the British naval officers that possi bly this force could not be made con stant, and therefore would not bo cal culated to do actual ‘work.’ The Eng lish officers declined to express any opinion, for the reason, as they de clared, thatjthey-knew nothing about it; they simply saw certain results, but were utterly unable to account for their mode of production. Mr. Keeley de clares that as soon as ho gets his new machine, the last piece of which is promised within a week, he will be en abled to renew the’ mysterious power developed at the exhibition, and, in deed, increase it forty-fold, if neces sary.” Odious Comparisons.— ln addressing a Grange meeting of Rockbridge county, Virginia, Mr. J. D. Davidson, a lawyer, is thus reported: “He said that it was a shameful fact that there ‘are but five thousand sheep in Rockbridge, two thousand less than Job fed in the land of Uz.’ He quoted the Culpepper (Va.) Times, which said that in that county one hundred thousand sheep might be raised, which, at the lowest estimate, would yield 8300,000;more than all the other crops in the county would yield Iu two years, and at a greatly less cost.” Another local paper, the Observer ad ded: “There are three obstacles in the way, however, of the people entering on this branch of husbandry, to-wit: The Legislature, the rogues and the dogs.” Mr. Davidson referred to a tabular statement of the taxable prop erty in Rockbridge county in 1874, from which it appears that that county in vests In music, silverware and jewelry 836,800; in sheep, 810,800; in hogs, 820,- 500—831,300; showing an excess in mu sic and silverware over sheep and hogs of 85,500. This shows good taste in tho fine arts, but Mr. Davidson seems to prefer the substantial to the poeti cal. He also complained that Virgin ians too often bought their bacon, corn and lard from the West instead of raising them at home. The absence of old Virginia (as well as Maryland) hams from the market has been lately com mented on at home and abroad.” It is said that, in one of the finest counties of Georgia, there were found 4,000 dogs and only 4 sheep. Poe’s Brain.— The singular preserva tion of Shelley’s heart when his re mains were cremated is matched by that of Poe’s brain. A medical gen tleman, present when all that was left of the author of the Raven was disen terred, states that the brain had not been destroyed. He adds that the cerebral mass, as seen through the base of the skull, evidenced no sign of disintegration or decay, though, of course, it was somewhat diminished in size. We are somewhat sorry that these sepulchral details should have been made public. They destroy an ideal. Do what wo will, since reading what the pious resurrectionists dis closed, the image of Poe rises before us, not in physical beauty and sorrow ful song, but as a hideous skeleton. Think of his teeth rattling in the coffin when his skull was lifted into anew repository! Jewish Isimigration. —The journals published in the interest of the Jewish people are, like all other newspapers, not agreed as to certain policies. We read, for example, that the Hebrew Benevolent Association of Canada ad vertises in London papers that Jewish emigrants should be sent to the United States and not to the Dominion. Where upon, the Jewish Messenger, of New York, advises that England keep her own poor at home and that New York Israelites are supporting over 1,000 such families. It adds: “There is al ways room in America for the energetic and active man who follows a trade or is able and willing to engage in farm labor; but tho emigrants sent hither from England are almost uniformly of the class for which no advance is pos sible, because they are thriftless and have been pauperized. The cost of living is so much less on the continent that, on the score of economy, it would pay American Israelites to contribute to the support of the poor in Europe, rather than have them added to the popula tion here.” Hobson’s Choice.— The day before the Charleston election, the Columbia Register' made the following tart, and, we presume, truthful comment: “The contest is of a character and between influences not calculated to excite any great interest in the State and no en thusiasm. Nor will the old city have any cause to rejoice over the success of either of the factions which rend her to pieces and bring down her intelli gence, honor, enterprise and public spirit into the dust of their degrada tion.” In other words the selection was between the devil and a witch. Gambling in New York City is said to be well nigh extinct, owing to the liability of any person entering a gambling house to be arrested.— Exchange. The men who fought the tiger of Ki ng Pharaoh, in secret cells or secluded palaces, have joined Jay Gould or his adversaries and openly do on Wall street what the police prohibit them from doing at the regular establish ments. The gradual resumption men are like the man who had his dog’s tail cut off an inch at a time. — Chattanooga Times. And the swift resumption men would cut his tail off close to the shoulders.—Nash ville American. Both parties will probably succeed in taking the “bark” off that unhappy canine. SPECIAL NOTICES.
