Wednesday Mornings October 20,1875,
High-Toned Journalists.
In the Charleston News and Courier,
of Friday last, under the title of “A
Journalistic Forger ,” the following edi
torial appeared:
We have no taste for the slang and scur
rility which are bread and meat to Mr.
James R. Randall; but it is due to the
public to say that we believe Mb. Randall
to be the writer of the letter signed
“Fbitz,” which he quotes with increasing
gusto. The letter charged the News and
Courier with vehality and political prosti
tution, and was nominally the production
of a Barnwell correspondent of the Con
stitutionalist. The ear-marks, however,
are those of Mr. Randall, who we charge
with being the forger of the false and calu
mnious letter of the mythical “Fbitz.”—
When he has proved his innocence of this
crime, we will, if he insists on it, tell Hr.
Randall exactly what we thiuk of him,
and in very plain English.
As soon as our attention was drawn to
tho paragraph above quoted, we did
not feel it “due to the public” so much
as to ourselves to refute it. We at
once a note to the author of
the “Fritz” correspondence, who, as
soon as his convenience permitted, sent
us a duplicate communication, which
he stated had, in the original form,
been forwarded to the News and Cou
rmr. It is as foUows:
Barnwell C. H., S. C., Oct., 10,1875.
To the Editors of the News and Courier,
Charleston, 8. C.:
There is a large class of people in South
Carolina who can get no hearing in any
newspaper of more extensive than provin
cial circulation; therefore, I and others have
found it necessary to send our views to Geor
gia papers, in order to obtain a hearing.
Some years ago a gentleman living at
this place wrote a letter on the political
situation which you would not publish,
although at that time you were printing
letters of the same character, expressing,
however, different views, from other parts
of the State; and he then re-wrote his com
munication and forwarded it to the Augus
ta Chronicle and Sentinel, which excellent
paper gave it publicity. That letter was
not found to contain anything that a good
Democratic journal, having the interests
of the State at heart, might not, with pro
priety have laid before its readers. The au
thor of the letter referred to was assured by
one who at that time had confidential rela
tions with the Radical party, that the
Charleston News and Courier had twice been
paid money by that party to be silent
where an honestly conducted journal
would have cried aloud and spared not.
You, perhaps, have not kept in mind the
circumstance of the letter alluded to, or
you would doubtless comprehend that the
Barnwell correspondent of the Augusta
Constitutionalist might very well have
all the will to impeach your Democracy
that could possibly move Mr. Randall,
though more penetration and acumen on
your part would, have shown you that he
possessed not the “grace and versatility of
the man” who wields so deft a.pen in vin
dication of the right through the medium
of the Constitutionalist.
You have charged Mr. Randall with
being the author of “Fritz’s” letter; and I
write this to disabuse your mind of that
impression; but having done that, Ido not
feel called upon, for reasons of my own, to
inform you who the “mythical ‘Fritz’”
really is, unless it should chance to be your
desire to proceed personally or legally
against him— in which case my objection to
avowing my individuality would, of course,
vanish.. Rocpootfully, FRITZ.
As if to make the matter much worse
for the editors of the News and Courier,
it should be stated that the “Fritz”
letter was published without the con
sent of the editor-in-chief of this paper
and during his absence. Why the
editors of the Neu?s and Courier have
made this personal assault upon us,
instead of upon the paper we repre
sent, must be left to conjecture. That,
in doiDg so, they have been betrayed
into false-witness against their neigh
bor we have made manifest. Bar
row has said that “ slander is a
complication, a comprisal and sum of
all wickedness.” We do not “charge”
the editors of the News and Courier
with slander, but we have proved it on
them. Blind indeed must have been
the malice and desperate the revenge
which could have forced these men to
plunge into an accusation whose rabid
ity is only equalled by its baselessness.
Since writing the above, we have
received the News and Courier of yes
terday, whose sole allusion to this
matter is contained in the following
paragraph:
A letter sign'd “Fritz,” dated from
Barnwell Court House, reached us yester
day. The writer avows himself to be the
author of a letter, with the same signature,
published in the Augusta Constitutionalist
and erroneously attributed by us to Mr.
James R. Randall. In that letter the
proprietors of the News and Courier were
charged with corrupt conduct, and “Frite,”
in the letter before us, insinuates some
thing of the same sort. For such charges
• and insinuations there is no ioundation in
fact. They are, in general and in particu
lar, utterly false. This we have said again
and again; so that persons who now assail
the News < nd Courier know what they are
doing, and ought to know what to expect.
“Fritz,” in his note to us, does not give his
name, but says that his objection to dis
closing his individuality will vanish if “it
should chance to be our desire to proceed
personally or legally against him.” It
does “chance to be our desire;” and we,
therefore, demand of “Fritz” that he give
us his name without more delay.
There is an’ Arctic flavor about that
admissipn of error hardly in conso
nance with the gravity of the case; but
since the editors of the News and Cou
rier have acknowledged their fault,
and thought proper to make the issue
with “Fritz,” in propria persona , wo
hereby wash our hands of them.
Edgar Poe’s Monument.— The Balti
more Sun, speaking of the Poe memo
rial, says:
A beautiful monument has been placed to
the memory of the brilliant genius, whose
ashes lie in Westminster Church yard, in
this city, the fund for which we contributed
largely by the puolic schools of Baltimore,
aided by a well-known citizen of Philadel
phia. This will give satisfaction to all the
admirers of the poet.
The well known citizen of Philadel
phia is George W. Childs, and he was
led to contribute by an article from the
pen of Paul H. Hayne, published in
this paper, which was sent to him by
Mr. J. C. Derby, of New York. And
yet Mr, Hayne has never been “hon
ored” with an invitation, but Saxe has.
Schurz. —Ex-Senator Schurz candidly
confesses that the greenback question
|s very lively for a corpse, so-called.
■
Completing the Canal.
“Mr. Estes shall be permitted, if possi
ble, to continue the work he has been en
gaged in,” etc. Without saying anything,
whatever, against Mr. Estes’ re-election,
we would like to know what he is to be
permitted to complete? Has not the canal
work Been finished with the exception of
the dam, and is not that work now under
contract—one of the firm of contractors,
Messrs. Geo. T. Jackson & Cos., being a
proprietor of the Constitutionalist? It seems
to us that it will be no difficult matter to
complete this work when the work is al
ready under contract.— [Chronicle and Sen
tinel.
A work under contract is not a work
completed. The proprietorship of
Major George T. Jackson in the Con
stitutionalist has nothing to do with
the Mayorality contest and has not in
fluenced this paper one jot. Major
Jackson is too honorable a man for the
employment of any such leverages. He
was a large proprietor of the Constitu
tionalist when we agitated the subject,
successfully, too, of lowering gas rates
and rents, in the interest of the peo
ple. At that time, as now, Major
Jackson was a Director in the
Gas Company and a prominent
landlord. He did not attempt to in
fluence us then and has not done so
in municipal affairs. The reasons gov
erning Major Jackson, in taking a con
tract, for completing the canal dam, are
presumably of a private nature. But,
be they what they may, we never heard
it insinuated that there was any pos
sible connection between that matter
and the municipal election until a gift
ed gentleman, whose subtile and me
taphysical mind occasionally leads him
astray, proceeded, on Monday morning,
in advance of the Chronicle's editorial,
to intimate that such was, in his
opinion, the case. The attempted de
monstration and the editorial query are
among those strange coincidences which
will occur at times.
But we shall endeavor, with such
lights as we have before us, mainly the
communication of Mayor Estes to the
Chronicle and Sentinel,' on Sunday last,
to enlighten our contemporary as to
“what is to bo completed besides the
dam.” The very important matters of
connecting the new bulkhead with the
tow-path of the enlarged canal, putting
the old bulkhead in proper condition,
and carrying out the Mayor’s idea of a
spillway on rection 2, which, as we un
derstand it, is intended to protect the
city from inundations by such freshets
as Augusta is sometimes menaced with
—these are some of the works yet to be
attended to and “completed.”
Our New York Correspondence.
We publish this morning a letter
from New York. It is the production
of a gentleman whose hobby is, like
the World almanac man’s, political
statistics. He is a hard-money man,
prayed for Allen’s defeat, and, to give
him his due, rather believed in it.
The reasons given by our correspond
ent for the Democratic reverse are in
teresting, and just such presentations
as a shrewd calculator, with a positive
bias, would be apt to make. Our corres
pondent asks, “if the school question
hurt Allen, how did he happen to carry
three more counties this year than
last ?” That strikes us as sophistry.
It is not the number of counties, but
the majorities iu oach, which can be
called decisive. Besides, the Republi
can papers are now admitting and
proving that, but for the “ Pope’s toe,”
as they call it, they would have been
defeated. Our correspondent says
the fight was “for a further issue
of greenbacks.” The Radicals pervert
ed the Democratic platform, but infla
tion is not fairly chargeable upon
them. Let us have tho proof from the
platform itself. Our correspondent
says “ the Administration took no hand
in the fight.” How about Grant’s Des
Mpines speech ? Upon one point we
heartily concur with our correspond
ent, and that is as to side-issues. If the
Democratic party can not make their
grand fight under the banner of Con
stitutionalism vs. Centralism, thous
ands of men, good and true, every
where in the Union, will care very littlo
how much better a witch is than the
devil.
Bayard. —ln the very accurate report
~of Senator Bayard’s remarks, by the
accomplished and indefatigable city
editor of -our Broad street contempo
rary, we find this statement of the
Delaware Senator’s;
I think the religious subject was a minor
one in Ohio.
True; and Hayes’ majority is a small
one likewise. Again, Mr. Bayard said:
Allen, you know, was on an altogether
different lino in 1846. Peoplejcould not see
how the Allen of 1846 and the Allen of
1875 could be the same man.
It strikes us that the United States
of 1816 and the United States of 1875
are slightly changed. Mr. Stephens
was once a Whig and so was Gen.
Toombs. Calhoun himself changed vio
lently, and gave as a reason that, up to
his 40th year, he had not profoundly
studied the Constitution of his country.
Elsewhere we give the opinion of
Judge Jeremiah Black, which we be
lieve to be a correct one. However
open to debate the position of Mr. Bay
ard may be on the finances, he stands
unassailable on the grand and all-im
portant principles of the true Democ
racy. ____________
Gibson. —The charge of Judge Gib
son to the Grand Jury, published yes
terday morning, is rich, and racy read
ing. His Honor is an original charac
ter and fearless in denouncing what he
considers infractions of the law. If
the Grand Jury take no cognizance of
Judge Gibson’s bill of particulars, in
any case, the fault, if any, is theirs, as
well as the responsibility. His Honor
may be peculiar. His charges may be
like Shakespeare’s description of man,
“fearfully and wonderfully made;” but
they have one rare raerit-they are never
duU.
We think that a great deal more is ac
complished by working than by writing.
If people wish a change they must make
it at the ballot box, and not in the newspa
per offices.— Chronicle and Sentinel.
Our contemporary takes the position
we assumed some time ago. So far,
the paper bullets shot at Mayor Estes
from ambush have not only done him
no manner of harm, but actually served
him a good turn, as we all along de
clared.
A Barren Victory. —The Washington
correspondent of the Richmond Dis
patch says :
Republicans here are not at all satisfied
with the result of the Ohio election, and
are already beginning to express doubts as
to the result in Pennsylvania. Having ex
pended thousands of dollars in Ohio, and
reaping only the result of a few thousand
majority out of a total vote of six hundred
thousand, they fear that they will have
greater trouble in the Keystone State. The
hard-money disciples are loud in their
wails because of the negative endorsement
in Ohio. They hoped for at least forty
thousand majority

“THE BOY!* IN GREY.” *
WE were wont to admire the boys who
wore the grey, though it was not for
the grey alone, but for the noble, chival
rous nearts that beat under it. They oom
mandedPthe admiration of the true and the
brave in every land. But how few admire
a fiue head enveloped in grey hair and
whiskers!—very few. We all love admira
tion, and nothing in our appearance is
more calculated to secure it than pretty
hair. If old age, sickness or sorrow has
robbed you of it, you can regain it by the
use of Dr. Tutt’s Hair Dye. Its populari
ty is so great that it can be found on the
shelves of every druggist In the land,
