CTlje Constitntiomilist AUGUSTA. GrA.: Tuesday Morning, October 19, 1875. Mr. Bayard—A Striking View of the Situation. We had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of Hon. Thomas F. Bay ard, U. S. Senator from Delaware, on Sunday evening. He impressed us as a man worthy to bear the name of that chevalier who was without fear and without reproach, the purest of the Paladins of France. The Delaware Senator is gifted with most captivating manners and a bright, incisive intel lect. Though but forty-seven years of age, he has a maturity of thought equal to the best of our oldest states men. No one who heard him at the time, can forget his spendid, but un availing protest, at Ford’s Opera House, in the Democratic Convention, against the nomination of Gkeeley and adoption of the Liberal Republican plat form. It was a grand and noble burst of indignant eloquence, but powerless amid the madness of the hour. His speeches in the Senate, last Winter, were models of forensic and scholarly elocution. His thoughts are full, like his mind, and his utter ance of them remarkably masculine and rapid. There is an elan —a dash— about him that can not fail to win the heart of every Southern man with whom he shall come in contact. As we did not visit Mr. Bayabd for the purpose of “interviewing” him, and as he will, at length and elaborately, at the Macon Fair, present his views of the situation, political and otherwise, in this country, it would be manifestly un fair to attempt a formal sketch of them here. We may be permitted to say, however, that Mr. Bayabd is a liard-money Democrat and thinks the party will make a fatal mistake if the greenback issue should be made the prominent one in 1876. He very properly subscribes to the fact that the grand and most worthy, as well as most triumph-bearing, issue for the Presidency is Constitutionalism vs. Centralism. In comparison with that all other issues are mere second fiddles. Mr. Bayard says that the people of the South have but a faint conception or the distress at the North. He de clared that, in his opinion, where one man is suffering from poverty here, ten men are suffering much more be yond our confines in the “loyal” States. There can be no question that this is true, and, for our nart, we look for an aggravation of the woe, East and West, long before the grim Win ter shall relax its icy grasp. A gentleman in this city told us that real estate near Central Park, for which $125,000 had been paid two years ago, less a mortgage of 35,000, was offered him for the mortgage alone. Mr. Bay ard, in confirmation of that statement, said he had heard it announced in New York that there was not a second mort gage on any property, in the metropo lis and vicinity, which was worth the paper it was written on. He remarked, too, that these were some of the “re sults of the war” that made men al most curse themselves for being mis led in 1860- ? 61. We venture to assert that this feeling will grow as time rolls on. On this very theme, the New York JDay Book has some very strong re flections and illustrations. Comment ing upon the expression of a Massa chusetts man that he “ fought for nig ger freedom, but didn’t want to be a slave himself,” our contemporary says : What ho calls negro freedom and white slavery are cause and effect, inevitable, in separable, unavoidable and everlasting, and all the power of human kind, and hell itself to back it, cannot change or even modify this monstrous fact, for it is fixed forever in the heart and nature of things. Look at it. The Northern producer or la borer raised wheat, corn, potatoes, stock, etc., and though he had but little annual surplus, after feeding and clothing his fam ily and taking care of his stock through the long Winters, ho had little or no taxes to pay, and with a cheap and simple Government, rapid growth of the country, and the consequent increased value of his farm, he often grew rich, and was able to provide moderately for his children. So the Southern planter owned a plantation and the “service” or so-called slavery of a hundred negroes. He raised cotton, sugar, rice, tobacco, &e., and these negroes, needing but a small portion of that which they produced, and both men and women working in the fields, with little or no winter or stock to feed, and the plan ter himself living a frugal life, there was a large annual surplus acquired, and which as demonstrated by Mr. Kettel, mainly went into the hands of Northern mer chants and mechanics, and especially of the ship-owner, who made .the exchange with Europe. Prior to the acquisition of Louisiana, there was little or no American capital, in deed, out little until after the war of 1812; but after the Indians were removed west of the Mississippi, and that great tropicoid re gion of the Southwest opened to the indus trial adaptation of the negro, the accumu lation of capital was enormous, and from 1820 to 1860, without parallel in the history of the world. The planter, like the North ern farmer, wanted- nothing from the Gov ernment save its protection, desired, of course, the simplest and cheapest govern ment possible, and opposed to all kinds and degrees of special legislation, public debt, national banks, tariffs, Ac., mainly fought the battle of the Northern laborer as well as his own, from the beginning. The planter, or so-called slaveholder, made the Government, there being only five men in the Convention of 1787 that did not own negro “service,” and every one of them was opposed t > the form finally adopted, and the Jeffebsons, Calhouns, Jacksons, Bartows, Toombses and Davises mainly defended it from the Northern “money power,” and preserved its original benefi cence and simplicity until the fatal advent of Abraham Lincoln in iB6O. Such is the history of the country. It was the vetoes of Jackson, Tyler and Polk, and the votes of Southern planters in Congress, that kept down the “money power” and tendency of capital to enslave labor; but who ever heard of a Northern President vetoing a bank bill, or any scheme whatever to plunder labor of its due ? The planter or so-called slaveholder was a producer, a laborer, working with his brains, and in most cases with his hands, as well as his t nslrwnents of pro duction, and therefore, as Mr. Jefferson caHed him, tbe natural ally of the North ern laborer, and the only reliable champion of the cause of labor the world has ever is it now? Why, simply thus-the jeffebsons and Jacksons, who, for seven ; ty years, were the onl y effective defenders of of the cause of labor, are abolished, for sooth, and their negro subgens are forced to the front as the “equals,” though not the allies, of the Northern laborer, for they are helpless and stupid instruments of the “money power” to enslave the working classes of the North ! Thus, were there no public debt at all, the spectacle presented of a million of Degro voters—a blind, stupid, inert, helpless mass—to be wielded by capital to enslave and plunder the laboring classes of the North, through banks, tariffs, railroad and other monopo | lies—would be the most disgusting, if it was not, indeed, the most pitiful spectacle ever witnessed since the world began. It would be thought a monstrous thing simply to disfranchise a million of North ern laborers, but that, in comparison, would be a mere trifle, for not only do the million of negro votes neutralize a million of laborers, but, as we witness for ten years past, the latter are taxed a hundred millions annually for army, navy, <fcc., to protect “negro freedom,” and vastly, im measurably, unspeakably greater calamity still, they are degraded to a common con dition with them, however, it may be with the bondholders, bankers, &e., who did this “big thing.” That is a terrible picture, but is not every day confirming its central truth more and more? Is there a remedy ? The greatest intellects of the country are engaged upon its solution. Some think a return to specie pay ments in 1879 will cure the malady; others contend that a repeal of the legal tender act, the abolishment of na tional banks, the death of protective tariffs, and the payment of customs dues, if not the interest on the bonds, in greenbacks, will secure salvation. Our own opinion is that all remedies will be practically inoperative [unless the battle of Constitutionalism be fought and won against Centralism. The Bay-Book's prescription is as start ling as its development of the causes leading to the prevailing chaos. It says; “Fortunately for the redemption of the Northern laborer and producer from a doom so deplorable, we are blessed with a public debt so unparalleled, aud eveu the interest on it so overwhelmingly unpayable, that it must needs result in such a horrible social cataclysis as to bring the people to their senses, and finally to the restoration of the grand edifice of American freedom, as it was before this devil’s dance began, as their sole salvation. It seems a queer thing to say that a national debt is a blessing, it is true; but, as sometimes happens, that a violent fever dominates over a chronic and fatal malady, aud the sub ject is restored to health, so in this case—the universal bankruptcy and collapse of the North will enable the South to recover its normal condition, and the Jeffersons and Jacksons will again become the champions of free dom and the only reliable defenders of the cause of labor in Christendom. • Meanwhile, let the “galled jade wince” —those Northern working men who helped to strike down their champions at the South now see the “money power” triumphant over them, and its tool, Grant, twice elected by negro votes, and unless they come to their senses in time, certain to be again elected in 1876 by the same means.” Oho !—The first reflection of the Bal timore Gazette upon the early reports from Ohio was this: We may be pardoned if we accept the re sult with some pride as a vindication of the i course pursued by the Gazette in refusing ■ to adopt the financial doctrines of the Ohio Democrats, or to in any way aid in promo ; ting their success. The second reflection is not like the first. It was this: Later returns from Ohio reduce the 110- I publican majority to a very small figure. .So completely were the parties split up on the currency question that it was found im possible to predict results. Republican counties gave Republican losses and Dem ocratic gains, while Democratic counties gave largely increased Republican votes. The result shows that a very large body of Republicans voted for Allen and inflation, and that many hard-money Democrats stood for the faith and repudiated bogus Democracy. It is nobody’s victory. Oh, yes it is. The “honest lagos” of Maryland and New York may largely claim the “victory” for Hayes.* Butler. —The New York dailies dis miss Butler’s speech in a queer way. The Times calls it “ rubbish ” and re fuses to make it public. The Tribune says it is made of “ignorance and false hood.” The World says it is a “ dema gogue’s trick.” The Herald finds fault with Brtler’s notions with regard to the Bank of England’s suspensions. - There is a studied effort, on the part of all these papers, to prove that Ben is a fool—something never before attempt ed by them so long as he ran in their traces. The News Abroad. —The Chicago Tribune gleefully declares that “ the news of the Ohio electibn was received with great satisfaction abroad. The London, Paris and Berlin press were unanimous in their approval of the Re publican triumph in the Buckeye State” We dare say Cols. Rothschild, Bel mont and all foreign aud native bond holders, who have the United States on the hip financially, are delighted to know that their obedient servants, the people of this country, are anxious to toil their lives away to pay them un limited tributes of gold. General T. Bernard, now in London, and late of the Confederate army, is about to join the Insurgents in Herzegovina, it is said, having been invited to a high com mand. He traveled through Turkey some years ago, and is familiar with the country and the people.— [Exchange We should like, in an artistic spirit, to see the General’s face when he reads that telegraph about the Turks having “captured the last refuge of the insurgents.” But then the General may not believe the telegraph. Miraculous. —A candidate for Sheriff of Baltimore city avers that, if elected, he will petition the Legislature to re duce the fees of the office, which he thought were entirely too high. That man is too good for this world. He ought to lash himself alongside of the City Hall to fkeep from soaring to heaven. Consoling.— lt must be delicious for New York and Maryland Democrats, who helped Haye3 to vfctory and Allen to defeat, to be twitted, as the Republican papers are twitting them, with having rung the death-knell of their party in 1876. Your Bull and My Ox.—Alluding to certain “Ku Klux outrages” in the South, the New York Express says : Better the law than this violence. In time ail such acts are retaliated, and often with great vengeance. It is about time that both the mean whites and bad blacks were taken in hand at the Soutii. There are at least two acts of vio lence in the North to one in the South. Missionary work is plentiful in the Ex press’ neighborhood. The “Pope’s Toe.”—The National Republican, of Washington, mokes this charming confession : “ The Pope’s toe had more to do with it in Ohio than a majority of hard money Republicans are wiliing to admit.” And further, it says that the School question and the anti-CAREY influences combined to aid the Republicans in their struggle for hard money; but we fear that if they had not been aided by these side issues they would have been defeated. Ehem! —What in the world does the Union-Herald mean by this paragraph? The puffing business has revived again The “bar,” in “terse and elegant lan guage,” expressed the “greatest satisfac tion” with the “able, learned and indus trious” judge. It is a game of “you tickle me and I’il tickle you”—disgusting to wit ness. Is it not better for the bar and bench to indulge in a little harmless pleasantry rather than a deal of hurtful vituperation ? It is an old political axiom, that “the “office should seek the man, and not the “man the office.” The truth of the proposi tion is indisputable. But, in practical poli tics, any man who adopts it may sit for years—like the great Idol of the Buddhists —contemplating his own navel Baltimore Gazette. What a pity the great majority of politicians do not imitate that Buddhist idol and spare the people ! Republican Ideas. — In a recent speech delivered in Boston, Mr. Wen dell Phillips said : “I believe that, so far as we have tried the experiment, Republican institutions are a failure.” Those institutions would have con tinued a grand success, no doubt, had Phillips, Garrison, Giddings, Sumner, Greeley .Wilson, et id omne genus, died of cholera infantum. Hard Money.— We read that the Philadelphia banks have very little specie on hand. We copy the following statement from their exhibits publish ed on the first of the month in the Press: Loans $52,000,000, circulation $11,000,000, specie $167,000. They ought to resume specie payments at once, with such prodigious quantities of gold and silver on hand. Even So. —The Northern papers an nounce that Commodore Vanderbilt is buyiug up real estate hugely in Boston and New York. Of course. Just such men are profiting by the distress bi'ought about by the threat and in tention of resumption in 1879. The big squeal has jiot commenced yet. Wait a bit. • Cotton Mills.— The Baltimore Sun, treating of cotton manufacture in the South, thinks that before twenty-five years_ have passed away most of the cotton mills will be found in the South, beside the cotton fields, enjoying vir tually a monopoly of the manufacture of cotton in this country. Slap-Dash.—An old-fashioned Demo crat suggests a temporary resort to the “Code,” in order to keep the politi cal contestants in Maryland from wholesale charges of “ theft,” “ liar,” “hypocrite,” etc. The truth is Joe Brown is with and for his people; with and for his race; with and for the party that is to rescue the republic and redeem the liberties of the whole peo ple next year.— Albany News. The truth is Joe Brown believes in the greatest good of the greatest num ber—and that is number one. SPECIAL NOTICES. DR. EDW. C.
