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.
