AUGUSTA, QA,:
Wednesday Morning, October 13,1875.
Time’s Changes.
Not many years ago some true and
tried Democratic editors at the North
were sent to prison, and suffered griev
ously in person and pocket, for daring
to question the policy of a war against
the South and her institutions. Nota
ble among the sufferers in this respect
was Dr. J. H. Yak Eveie, of the Day
Book, who has been always faithful
among the faithless. One of the prin
cipal charges against him was the dis
respect with which he spoke
in his journal of the paper
money of the United States. Well,
what do we now behold? The very
men who ruined the business of
Dr. Yak Eveie and subjected him to
durance vile in a Federal Bastile are
now engaged in hurling the vilest epi
thets at their own war-engendered cur
rency. The chaos predicted by the
Day Book has come upon the South
and the whole country, socially, politi
cally and commercially, and the head
centres of anarchy are now clamoring
for a way to be delivered from the
wrath to come. Yery properly bidding
the people witness these truths, the edi
tor of this staunch paper, somewhat
triumphatly, says:
Likcoln’s election, obtained by a minori
ty expression of the country, was simply a
usurpation, and the fruits of that political
usurpation bid fair to curse the country
for the next half century. To-day, in the
year of our Lord 1875, we hear the work
ingmen of New England, the hot-bed of
that curse of all curses, Abolitionism, cry
ing for bread. The declarations are: “I
was induced to fight for negro freedom,
but I will not be forced into slavery myself;
I will die first.” “We are destitute, and
need food and clothing.” Signs are posted
up, “ White slaves to be sold to the highest
bidder,” and all this startling picture is
now witnessed at Fail River, in the “loyal’
State of Massachusetts! Look back ten
years ago, good reader of The Day Book,
and see what a prophet was this journal.
Remember the tone of the “boss” war
howlers of New England ten years ago to
ward these very men: “Go South; subju
gate the whites and free the slaves, and
you will cover yourselves with glory.”—
What is the attitude of their “bosses” to
day towards these men? The Herald
paints it:
“ The employers have exhibited but scant
humanity in their attempt to mortify the
pride of operatives and to subjugate them
to utter renunciation of their sense of inde
pendence.”
The men cannot live on the low wages
offered them, and in the terrible fight be
tween capital and labor now set in, the
poor operatives must go to the wall. Alas!
this is one portion of the fruits of “loyal
ty.” We notice that the Herald has shaken
off some of its spaniel-like subsurveniency
to “the best Government on the planet;” it
actually quotes greenbacks this week at 85
cents on the gold dollar. Ten years ago it
would not have dared to cast such a re
flection on Government credit. It would
have printed “gold at 116% premium.” In
deed, there are new tunes heard now all
over the land.
What are some of these new tunes ?
The Chicago! Tribune, for example,
speaks of its Republican greenbacks as
“rotten, worthless currency.” And yet,
in 1863, ’64-’65, when Democratic or
gans, not utterly sold to Baal, told
t,no j-wpie wuavwuca vere lu store for
them as handlers of a paper currency,
every Radical press in the country ad
vised Mr. Seward to ring his “little
bell” and give the signal so that the
dungeon should swallow the prophets,
or else enraged mobs were virtually
advised to hang them to the nearest
lamp-post for boldly “ discrediting the
issues of the noblest govern
ment on the planet.” The “sainted
Lincoln” and the “sainted Chase” may
as well turn uneasily in their graves
when listening—if the dead, perchance,
can listen to anything—to the anathe
mas of their former compatriots. The
Day Book very properly takes heart at
this turn of Time’s whirligig, and, be
lieving that the signs are healthy ones,
declares that “when the people begin
to destroy their idols, we may hope for
reform. The journals of the Republi
can party are trampling upon the grand
handiwork of their high priests; next
in order will be the crushing out of the
priests themselves. The smashing of
the idols shows the world that political
light is breaking.”
Latter Day Saints.
The Charleston News and Courier, of
the 11th, thus speaks :
Gen. Walthall, a Mississippi Democrat,
said, in a campaign speech, “ colored people
“ who desire to vote our ticket will be protected
“ in their right to do so, if it takes the blood of
“ unite men to do it /” This manly declara
tion, which must meet with the hearty ap
proval of every just and generous South
erner, is called by the Augusta Constitu
tionalist “a dirty business;” and moves it
to exclaim, “To what base uses has Recon
“ construction driven some of the white
“ men of the South!” Under the manage
ment or mismanagement of Mr. James. R.
Randall the Augusta Constitutionalist
is fast becoming one of the most bigoted
and narrow-minded newspapers in the
South.
We said, and still say, that a white
man who loses his life in defending a
negro ballot is much to be pitied. We
are likewise of opinion that Reconstruc
tion has driven some of the white men
of the South to base uses. Our cor
respondent “Fritz,” writing from
Barnwell, S. C., some weeks ago, boldly
charged that the editors of the News
and Courier “knew how it was them
selves.”
Luckily, any estimate of our private
or public character is not in the least
affected by an adverse criticism of
Messrs. Riordan and Daw son, or even
of Ben Wood, the New York Lottery
Policy man, who is said to own a large
part of the News and Courier.
Our “bigotry” and “narrow-minded
ness” have consisted in a loyal de
votion to our race and blood. We
have adhered to high principles,
scorned to be a trimmer and a time
server, and will ask of the News and
Courier editors that they do not praise
■us. We should feel that we had com
mitted some mistake, if their gali
should turn to honey.
Some Russian astronomers say that
they have discovered a huge mirror in the
moon .—Exchange.
Then, is that person resident there
a woman instead of a man. The
timid lady who carefully closed her
window shutters on resplendent nights
tp canange her policy.
Lotteries and Tlieir Lesson.
A few weeks ago we published some
New York correspondence of the Cin
cinnati Gazette, which undertook to de
monstrate how Ben Wood had made a
considerable portion of his money.
The lottery policy business was reveal
ed in all of his hideous deformity and
all of its corrupting influences. The
Baltimore Sun, of October Bth. has an
admirable article upon this subject,
taking its text from recent revelations
in the Montpelier affair. Adverting to
the fact that the Lynchburg Republican
advocates a general law prohibiting all
persons and corporations from engag
ing in any such enterprises, the Sun
says:
Our own laws have left no loophole for
such devices as “gift enterprises.” In ad
dition to the prohibition of lotteries em
bodied in threo successive constitutions of
Maryland, laws have been passed forbid
ding the drawing of a lottery and the sell
ing of lottery tickets in this State, or the
sale of what are called policies, certificates,
or anything by which the vendor or other
person promises or guarantees that any
particular number, character, ticket or cer
tificate shall in any event or on the hap
pening of any contingency entitle the pur
chaser or holder to receive money, prop
erty or evidences of debt, and all devices
an l contrivances designed to evade these pro
visions are to be deemed as offenses against
it. The publication in writing, punting, or
any other way, of a lottery to come off, or
anything connected therewith, is forbidden.
These provisions relate to all lotteries,
even if authorized outside the State, and
the prohibition of sale of any lottery ticket
or other device applies to lotteries drawn
out of this State as well as those designed
to be drawn within it. The penalties of a
violation of these laws are fine or impris
onment, in addition to which any person
who may give money for any lottery ticket,
certificate, or any other device, etc., may
recover fifty dollars for every lottery tick
et, certificate, or other device in the nature
thereof purchased and obtained by him,
and he shall be a competent witnoss to
prove the giving of the money. Some such
stringent legislation as this in Virginia
would give a final quietus to lottery gam
bling in all its forms.
While some of the Virginia journals
were silent on this matter, others were
outspoken. The Petersburg Index thus
thunders :
The whole lottery business needs break
ing up, and this kind of open swindle calls
attention to its abuses and sets against it
the current of public opinion. The whole
thing is directly contrary to the State con
stitution, and yet some of.our leading men
lend their names, and some, alas, sell their
influence to support these Yankee frauds
They have done more mischief than all the
I whiskey that ever gurgled, and that is say
ing a vast deal. The Legislature could not do
a better thing than to put its broad foot
down on the whole tribe of iniquitous im
positions, and all their agents and abettors.
The Southern Ch urchman is equally
explicit, and denounces the business as
follows :
We devoutly hope that this is the last lot
tery the Legislatu re of Virginia will ever
authorize. No matter what the object is,
or the motive be, lotteries are nurseries of
gambling, a spirit ripe enough in every
community, without being aided and fos
tered by State Legislatures. It is a shame,
and will be, to the State of Virginia, that
she permitted her people to be enticed into
gambling by licensing lotteries, no matter
under what name.
The Sun thinks that a sweeping
enactment should be made against all
lotteries, aud 'states, with truth, that
gambling is none the less offensive
and ruinous because its victims are uot
always robbed outright. After the- ex
perience the South has had in these
traps for the unwary, it would be well
for public virtue if the General Assem
blies of all the States, in this section,
would prohibit them by stringent laws,
even if Hon. Ben Wood is a patron
saint of the business, and owns two pa
pers in addition to numberless policy
shops.
Great Things from Small—The Power
of Talent and Pei’sistence.
We have been very much struck
with an article In the Pall Mall Gazette,
which details how great a blessing one
man can be to a community and the
world at large, just as a single individ
ual, by perverted courses, may become
a malediction to his kind. We quote:
An aged abbe, who did the State much
service in his time, has just died at St. Cera
in his eighty-fifth year. The Abbe Paba
melle in 1818 was twenty-eight years old,
and curate of the little parish of St. Jean
Lespinasse. Living in this parish, he was
much struck by the suffering occasioned
both to man and beast by want of water,
which could often only be procured at
great cost and by dint of great labor from
some distant river. Cattle taken to drink
would rush into the water and be drowned,
and when a fire broke out there was no way
of extinguishing it. And yet plenty of rain
fell in the department, though it all disap
peared under the chalky soil. Having some
notions of geology, the abbe set to work to
find out what became of the rain, and how
water could be found in those arid plains.
He studied the springs of several rivers
evidently fed from underground streams,
and also the natural irrigation in
well-watered departments. After roam
ing about for a couple of years,
and after nine years of study, the
abbe considered himself *in a position
to put his theories into practice, and,
having expounded his principles, the gen
eral council of the Lot voted him six hun
dred francs to make experiments. He im
mediately pointed out five spots where
wells should be sunk, and water was found
in each case, “the spring of Rocamadour
furnishing water enough for the whole de
partment.” Further sums of money were
voted, and ud to 1833 the abbe only failed to
strike water five times out of fifty-three.
It would be tedious to relate all the wells
opened up by a man who was at times re
garded by the peasants as a sorcerer, and
“who took the precaution,” as a paper said,
“to hide the diabolical signs he received
from the evil spirit.” Suffice it to say
that in 1843 the abbe succeeded 305 times
out of 304; and, when in 1854, owing to age
and infirmity, he was forced to give up a
labor of love, for which he had quitted the
church, no fewer than thirty-seven depart
ments were demanding his services. The
last years of his life were spent in writing
his experiences, and he left behind him a
work entitled “The Art of Discovering
Springs.”
Schneider, the Grand Duchesse, has had
her assumed coat of arms painted on the
walls of her new and splendid house in
Paris, with the motto “Je Chante.’’—New
York World.
Yes, and, if common report be true,
a good many male fools, with more
money than brains, did a prodigious
amount of j “squealing” in order that
she should chant to some purpose.

covered his reason. So has Mrs. Lin
