AUGUSTA, GA^:
Tuesday Morning, October I*, 1875.
■ - . 1 ■ ■" ■ ■■
The Ohio Election To-day.
This is a day full of interest and im
portance. It is the day upon which the
Democracy of Ohio will either gain a
great and momentous victory or else
suffer a defeat, the results of which
can hardly, at this time, be calculated.
If the Republicans carry the day, look
out for the rise of Grant stock and a
third-term. <£lf Allen should prove tri
umphant, Pennsylvania will be cer
tain to go Democratic, and then the
question must arise whether the party
of the people is to be dominated by
Marbles, Jay Goulds, Belmonts, Roth
schilds and the bondholds of New
York and Europe, or by such men as
the heroic and honest Cincinnatus of
the West.
The situation, in any event, will not
be without its difficulties; but these dif
ficulties would be greatly lessened if
Allen’s majority should rise many
thousands above popular expectation.
The declaration of Gov. Allen that
specie resumption in 1879 was a “bar
ren ideality” struck a key-note which
has echoed over all the land. The
New York Day Book, commenting on
this remarkable phrase, says: “It is as
absurd to talk about specie payments
as to talk of a railroad to the moon,
and yet there can be no healthy busi
ness or real prosperity until a specie
standard is restored. Think of it—the
“South” produced, directly and in
directly, more than two-thirds of the
surplus or realized capital of the coun
try, as shown by the census of 1860.
According to the great statistician,
David Wells, half of that capital was
“used up” in the war, and yet, amaz
ing, and to future generations incredi
ble fact, Congress has kept an army in
the South for ten years, and spent a
thousand millions to prevent any re
storation of Southern surplus! If a
man, owning a farm worth ten thous
and dollars, had mortgaged it for five
thousand ten years ago, and spent the
money in bad liquor and poor cigars,
and paid the police say a thousand dol
lars more to prevent any labor or pro
duction on two-thirds of his land, and
then demanded that his notes should
be at par and as good as gold, why
even “Christian statesmen” would call
him a “d—d fool,” and his demand a
“barren ideality,” though pregnant with
just as much sense and substance ns
that of Grant & Cos. for specie pay
ments.”
Strong, rough words, perhaps, but
how true ? If the Northern people had
spent as many millions to bless the
South or build her up as they have
spent to ruin and curse her, they would
not how be on the verge of destruction.
The hard money Republicans and Dem
ocrats are desperately striving to save
themselves at the expense of their
more unfortunate brethren in all sec
tions. The victory of Allen will be
the victory of the people everywhere,
and so, we sincerely trust, his banner
this day will rise in glory and not be
lowered in defeat.
An. Ugly Disclosure. —According to
Mr. Benj. H. Cheever, one of Clews’
silent partners, no less a person than
Louis Dent, Grant’s brother-in-law,
has been unearthed as an interested
party. The Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun thus writes under
date of the Bth inst.: “In all of the
big financial operations of the Govern
ment during the last ten years, where
by colossal profits inured to the favor
ed banking firms, there was a large
‘ divide' shared in by persons either
belived to be, or actually in high confi
dence both at the Capitol and White
House. Mr. Cheever speaks of the
numerous Senators whose influence he
brought to bear in the interest of Mr.
Clews. Some of these Senators were
equally kind to other bankers who
wanted the Government business.
Among those mentioned by him is Sen
ator Sherman, Chairman of the Finance
Committee. A Democratic Senator, a
member of the Finance Committee,
said to your correspondent that he
well remembered the day when the
members of the Jay Cooke firm used to
swagger in and out as if they owned
the committee room. The Democratic
House will find no richer mine of in
vestigation than that offered in an ex
amination of the financial transactions
of the Government since the war, with
its various ' agents.’ ”
Stephens. —Mr. Stephens’ first lec
ture in Chicago will, it is stated, take
place on the 25th inst., at which time
he will discuss the broad question of
the principles underlying our National
Government, his subject being the first
hundred years of the American Union.
The second lecture, on the 28th, will be
on the present and future of the South.
In a private letter to a friend, Mr.
Stephens says: “My chief object is to
do good, in bringing about a better
state of feeling and a better under
standing between the people of the dif
ferent sections of our great and com
mon country.”
We regretted to learn, at a late hour
yesterday, that Mr. Stephens was ex
tremely and dangerously ill. His
chances of keeping his engagements
are now quite problematical.
Logical.— The New York Day Book
eails attention to a fact that is worth
considering. It says: The so called
“Liberals” under the lead of the late
Mr. Greeley, were induced to join with
the Democracy in 1872, and the price
of the coalition was the defeat of the
mongrel horde. We knew at the time
there was no principle in the fusion.
It was the most miserable and meanest
kind of policy on both sides. Now we
see this same “Liberal” horde g 'ng
back to the niggers, in the State of
Louisiana, and combining, very
naturally this time, to beat the Louisi
ana Democracy.
Liberia. —Now that the aborigines of
Africa are attempting to wipe out their
civilized brethren, in Liberia, “Col.”
Turner should not stay upon the order
of his going, but go at once. If cap
tured, he will be fricasseed or eaten
yaw on the half shell.
Returning to Specie Payments.
The Government proposes to sell
$20,000,000 of bonds and with the pro
ceeds buy $20,000,000 of silver at the
current premium—about 5 per cent.
This silver is to be coined and issued
to take up the like amount of fractional
currency. What is the net result of
this operation ? The premium on the
silver purchased would be.. ..$1,000,000
The interest on the bonds
before the silver is issued $500,000
The annual interest on the
bonds at 5 per cent.sl,ooo,ooo
$2,500,000
This is near what it will cost to re
sume on a part of the fractional cur
rency; what will it cost the country to
resume on the whole amount of frac
tional and legal tender notes? Bear in
mind that neither fractional currency
nor legal tenders now bear Interest.
Again, how long will this silver remain
in circulation, unless It is debased by
alloy down to about the value of frac
tional currency ? If you debase it, is
this resuming specie'payments ?
Contraction. —The New York Bulle
tin shows the progress of contraction
in France thus:
Between July 31, 1873, and July 29,1875,
the circulation of the Bank of Franco was
reduced 550,900,000 francs. But during that
period France imported 1,375,400,000 francs
more of specie than she exported; of this
sum, 814,400,000 francs was added to the
specie In the Bank of France; and conse
quently 501,000,000 francs of specie was add
ed, within these two years, to the active
circulation. The facts, then, are that the
paper circulation was contracted 550,900,-
000 francs, and that the specie circulation
was simultaneously augmented 561,000,000
francs. Instead, therefore, of there being
any reduction of the circulating medium,
during the two years, there was an Increase
of 10,100,000 francs.
When the United States are able to
accumulate coin like France it will be
time enough to talk about resumption.
“Words ! Words !”—Theodore Til
ton is lecturing on child-training. We
should like to hear from him on wife
training. A moral lecture from Til
ton is somewhat after the fashion of a
discourse we once had addressed to us
on the management of children, by an
old bachelor. Our friend asked us how
our baby boy was getting on. We told
him that infant was a little delicate.
“Do you let him run about barefooted?”
ho queried. “Not much during this
bitter cold January weather,” we re
plied. “All wrong! all wrong!” he
ejaculated, “I would not give a dime
for a boy who did not raise two crops of
toe nails per annum /” We mildly sug
gested that the boy’s mother knew a
thing or two more than a wilderness of
old bachelors, but our incorrigible
friend “did not scare worth a cent.”
Gold. —The mass of developed gold
in the world has been frequently specu
lated upon and approximately
measured. The latest effort in solving
the problem is this:
“Gold is valued at $164 per cubic inch.
At this rate a cubic foot of the precious
metal, which contains 1,728 cubic inches,
will be worth about $252,288. The entire
quantity of gold now known to be in ex
istence is valued at about three thousand
millions of dollars, so that if it were welded
into one mass it could be contained in a
cube, the side of which would not measure
over twenty-three feet.”
Now just think what a fuss is ever
lastingly caused by those 23 feet of
cube measurement.
In a Nut-Shell.—Gov. Allen says, in
one of his speeches, “there is not a
Democrat in the land who will oppose
a resumption of specie payment, when
it can be brought about without par
alyzing industries and impoverishing
and distressing the people.” Gov. Al
len is a friend and tribune of the peo
ple. The men and papers, Republican
or Democratic, who work, speak and
write against him, are the allies of na
tive and foreign bondholders, the ene
mies of the people.
J. B.—Deliberately cocking his hat
on the back of his head, ex-Gov. Brown
informed a Constitution reporter that
Dr. Wills could spare himself the
trouble of asking Grant to bestow a
Cabinet situation on him, “because, in
the first place,” said Joseph, “there is
not the remotest probability of the
place being tendered to me; and in the
second place, they have no position in
Washington that I would accept, if
offered!”
Turner, another Christian statesman,
said he was going to Africa, but that he
would not start until he had formed a com
pany with a million dollars of canital. If
he waits until he gets that capital, it will
be bad for his race in this country, but good
for Africa.—[Union-Herald.
And yet Dr. Carleton plumply says
he did not see anything in the recent
negro convention. Turner wants stamps,
Doctor, and proposes the raising of
them by the most approved “Christian
statesman” method. Do you take ?
Bradlaugh will begin his lectures next
week. He says he loves America, but there
is a dim suspicion that ho wouldn’t care a
Us: for Americans if they didn’t attend his
lectures Chicago Tribune.
The difference between an American
and Englishman on the Bradlaugh ques
tion is this: the one attends his lestures,
and the other would like to attend his
funeral.
Fancy.—The St. Louis Globe-Demo
crat says; “That story about a rainbow
appearing over the head of the dying
American Girl, at Elmira, is touching
indeed, and if an onion were handy we
might even shed a tear or two over the
event. But we’d first like to know
what the Associated Press Agent had
been taking when he saw it.”
Fraud.— lt has recently been dis
covered that the sum of $500,000 per
annum has been paid, by Congress, for
the past ten years, to Indians who do
not exist in the United States, but are
under the control of Great Britain. This
is a big Radical steal and will merit the
attention of a Democratic House of
Representatives.
Excellent Well.— The Chicago Inter -
Ocean perpetrates this prize pun: “Dr.
Narramore, of Rochester, has married
a Miss Ella Fant— white, we believe.
Paradoxical. For while he has secured
a white Ella Fant, she Is an Ella
Fant Narramore.
