AUGUSTA, QA..:
Saturday Morning, October, 9, 1875.
The Colored Convention.
The so-called colored convention,
which concluded its labors on yester
day, was a fizzle. We use the word ad
visedly because it expresses a patent
fact. The ruling' spirits in that con
clave were Belcher and Turner, the
one a quadroon and the other a full
blooded negro. In the difference of
their blood may be traced the contrarie
ty of their opinions with regard to an
exodus of the negroes from the South
ern States to Africa. The man with
considerable of white blood in his veins
has no desire to leave this part of the
world and go to that quarter of the
globe which fires the picturesque fancy
of the black Turner. It is somewhat
natural that the latter should gravi
tate toward Africa, but we dare
say, like many of the Southern
negroes who have tried Liberia, he
would, if his plans were carried out to
personal experience, very soon regret
having left Georgia for that benighted
land which haunts him like an opium
eater’s dream of Paradise. Belcher,
with more sense, knows full well that
his chances here in the United States
are infinitely superior to any wild
goose chase of a distempered vision
beyond the seas. He knows, by read
ing and the experience of others, that
Liberia and such places are shams and
frauds which, but for the powerful aid
of the white man, would topple to
pieces very soon, and either be over
run by savage tribes or else drift back
into barbarism. But Turner, who has
just enough nimble-wittedness to
make him half-crazy on this hob
by, would not bo convinced, as
Belcher is, if one came from the dead
to instruct him. We think it would be
well for the country, if not for him,
that he should decamp and seek the
realization of his ideal happiness in a
1 turning zone. Here his restless and
discontented mind is a positive injury.
In the “palaver houses” of the Guinea
coast his opportunities for eminence
would be really promising. A black
man in Africa who can out-talk the
common Turner, is bound to
rise. Here liis eloquence is wasted,
and, as he proves more and more ne
glected, a morbid condition of mind will
ensue which never works benefaction
to any man of any color. Let
him, therefore, seek the aid of the
Liberian Society of Maryland, or
tho generosity of Garrison and Wen
dell Phillips, for the purpose of test
ing in person the attractiveness of that
clime which soars so splendidly before
his raptured imagination. After a
proper trial, he may come back, and,
if honestly disposed, tell the truth, and
either advise his people to wander
away, or else remain where they are
and k accept whatever destiny Provi
dence has in store for them.
On one point Turner is right. He
judges correctly when he says the
negro race is on the road to vir
tual extinguishment in the United
States. In slavery, black people
increased and multiplied. The* free
dom they now enjoy is unnatural,
when brought into sharp antagonism
with the Caucasian majority, and, lit
tle by little, they must become fewer
and fewer in numbers. It will be a
long time before their race is run, just
a9 it will be many years yet before the
red man is utterly extinct in this coun
try. The negroes, obeying a law of
their nature, will drift toward the tro
picoid regions or Mexico. As the
white race grows in the States beyond
us, it will push the blacks out, to a
great degree, but not entirely. There
will for ages yet be a respectable rem
nant in every,Southern State, and this
remnant would as lief go to the abode
of Satan as the Western coast of
Africa.
The attempt of Turner to get candi
dates for Africa will be a failure, in the
main. As the fools, black and white,
are not all dead, he may successfully
practice upon the credulity of a few
men and women of his color, especially
if they have any money; but to the vast
majority of colored people his project
is mere moonshine, and, having been
misled so often by adventurers in the
past, they no doubt will bo extremely
wary in following this new crusader,
who probably supplements his sermon
by “passing round the hat.”
A Good Sign.—The Courier-Journal's
Washington correspondent thus writes,
under date of the sth:
A number of officials, clerks, and em
ployes of the Government, who stood upon
the rolls as appointed from Ohio, and most
of them actually residents of that State,
sometime since made up a pool amounting
to several thousand dollars, and entrusted
i: to one of th shrewdest of their number
to take it to Ohio and double it by bets on
the coming election, and at the same time
strengthen the cause by an exhibition of
confidence in their candidate, Gov. Hayes.
1 his gentleman went to Ohio, and after a
careful survey of the ground and confer
ence with the best informed men of bis
party, he has written to the club that he
deems it unsafe to take any bets on less
tiian thirty thousand for Allen. He asked
iurther instructions. After consultation
among the several associates, it was to
day agreed to direct the individual to re
turn the money for distribution to the sub
scribers.
This is jolly good news for Uncle
William Allen. When the betting
men of the Radicals refuse to back
their champion, it is a pretty good
sign that Schurz and Woodford have
practically failed to accomplish their
purpose.
John Hay will devote most of his time to
the management of his father-in-laws’s
business in Cleveland. Eligible fathers-in
laws, wishing similar services performed
with expedition and dispatch, may apply at
once to the nearest Literary Bureau or
newspaper office. America is crowded with
young men who part their hair in the mid
dle and would like to marry some rich
man’s daughter and ducats— [Chicago tri
bune.
True, and they do not object to going
a short distance in the rural districts
either.
Suicide.— After a slight lull, the sui
cide mania in New Orleans has again
violently broken out. The assigned
cause is want of rag or any other
money.
The Down-Grade. —A Washington
special to the Cincinnati Commercial
gives some interesting facts and figures
from the report of the Bureau of Sta
tistics. The correspondent says : Dur
ing the fiscal year ended June 30, 1875,
there arrived in the United States 227,-
498 immigrants, which is 180,149 below
the number that arrived in 1874, and
less than one-half the number that ar
rived in 1873. This large falling off is
attributable to the continued depres
sion of trade and the prostration of in
dustries. The economic value of each
immigrant is placed at 8800, which
makes a loss to the material wealth of
the country during the year 1875, as
compared with 1874, of 8144,119,200.
Compared with the year 1873, the loss
is 8 D 5,844,000, a sum 830,000,000 in ex
cess of the aggregate customs receipts
for the last fiscal year. The material
loss for 1875, as compared with 1874, is
835,000,000 greater than the receipts
from internal revenue during that year,
and lacks but 813,000,000 of being equal
to the aggregate receipts from customs
for the same period. The loss sus
tained during the last two fiscal years,
compared with 1873, estimating the
economic value of the immigrant alone,
and not considering what would have
been added to the national wealth in
two years by their labor, aggregates a
sum which would more than pay the
interest on the national debt for three
years.
A Dirty Business.— We clip the fol
lowing paragraph from the Nashville
American:
The Mississippi Radicals are circulating
a report to the effect that Senator Gordon
in his Grenada speech, declared this elec
tion must be carried, even though blood be
shed,” and that Maj. Chalmers made use
of similar language on the same occasion.
This is emphatically denied by the Jack
son Clarion, which says that the only refer
ence to “ blood ” was made by Gen. E. C.
Walthall, who declared that “ colored
people who desire to vote our ticket will be pro
tected in their right to do so, if it takes the
blood of white men to do it ! ”
To what base uses has" Reconstruc
tion driven some of the white men of
the South ! It must have been edify
ing to see the scramble for negro votes
in Charleston, and if Gen. Walthall
should lose his life for negro fran
chise we should feel sorry for him and
his family.
Alcorn— Friar’s Point, Miss., is the
residence of Alcorn, and his scallawag
doctrines are coming home to roost.
The conflict at that place was caused
by political rivalry between the white
Senator, elected by negro votes, and a
mulatto sheriff who heads an Ames
faction. Of the two we think the white
man the more despicable, and wish ho
and his yellow competitor would fight
the matter out. All of the troubles in
Mississippi may be chiefly traced to
this renegade Senator, who stands be
before the country as a man raised to
power by the blacks, while his daugh
ter has to run from some of her father’s
former friends and chums. It is a dis
gusting spectacle, and we pity tho
family of any decent white man whose
blood is spilled for such a demagogue
and such a cause.
Phillips-Schurz. —The redoubtable
Wendell Phillips has written a long
answer to Carl Schurz’s speech on the
finances. It has some weak points,
and it is the battle of professor against
professor. Butler will talk more hard
sense in ten minutes, on this question,
than either Phillips or Schu'rz would
in ten hours. His speech on the 14th
at New York will be a powerful one.
Business.— The Tuscumbia North
Alabamian says: “The less gold we
have to pay out, the sooner we can re
turn to a specie basis.” Suppose tho
South had required gold for her cotton
crop this year, where would it havo
come from?
Nota Bene —Correspondents who
write on both sides of the paper used
in conveying their ideas need not com
plain if their favors fail to get into
type.
DAVIS AND GRANT.
An Ex-President and a Live Execu
tive in St. Louis at the Same Time-
How an Opportunity was Lost.
Commenting upon the presence of
Davis and Grant in St. Louis, the other
day, the Times of that place says:
“The giotesqueness of fate and her
ordaiuments were never better illus
trated than by the accidental presence
of these two historical figures in the
same city. Before President Grant was
even so much as heard of outside of
the village where ho grow to early
manhood, ex-President Davis had
earned a national reputation as a sol
dier and statesman. By reason of his
universal recognition the one was call
ed to the leadership of a great nation,
while yet the other was hanging
around the lobby of an obscure Gov
ernor for a Lieutenant’s commission.
“The one had advanced step by step
along the path of preferment until
there was but a single office at the dis
posal of the people more eminent than
those he had enjoyed left to bestow
upon him. The other, untried and in
experienced, had, up to this time, rarely
met in his aimless wanderings a citi
zen more obscure than himself. The
genius of accident waves its wand and
arrogantly reverses the position of
both. The veteran statesman falls and
is divested of both station and power,
and the adventurer succeeds and is
elevated to the Chief Magistracy of the
restored Republic. An exhibition of
manliness and generosity, as such an
overture as we have suggested would
have appeared, could not have failed
to redound to President Grant’s per
sonal reputation, and to the benefit of
the country at large. A great man
would never have allowed such an op-
portunity to pass. A generous man
would have welcomed it as a special
dispensation of Providence. A com
mon man would never think of it,
while a small man would never dare to
entertain such a proposition, even when
suggested. At all events, Gen. Grant
has thrown away a more than golden
opportunity.”
An English girl lately swam 5 miles
in the Thames; another capped the
effort by swimming 7 miles; and now a
third plucky little creature has thrown
all former feats by women in the shade
The champion is
said by the London Times of the 20th
ult. to be about 14 years of age. She
swam fairly the whole way, remaining
in the water two hours and twentv
seven minutes.
There was only one Count at Sarato
ga this year, and he left a hotel bill of
S2BO for the landlord to count up.
