AUGUSTA- A.:
Thursday Morning, October 21, 1875.
Municipal Affairs—A Proposition.
We have hitherto said, and still be
lieve, that a preponderating number of
our voting population favor the re
election of Hon. Charles Estes for
Mayor of Augusta. While we are im
pressed with the truth of this state
ment, we admit that it may be a mis
take. If it be true, the kind of war
now being waged against Mr. Estes, in
Charleston and Augusta, is not calcu
lated to harm him greatly, because, in
the long run, the man who stands up
in his own stout defense, under his
own signature, will, nine times out of
ten, command more sympathy and sub
stantial support than those who deliver
their fire from an ambuscade. We do
not propose to enter the lists against
any of Mr. Estes’ anonymous assail
ants, first, because the object of attack
is entirely able to take care of himself;
and, second, because we have no cause
of quarrel with those gentlemen, who
are no doubt most worthy persons, and
do what they do in the interest of the
city, as they conceive it. But any one
familiar with this kind of political con
test must know that an argumentpro and
con, started on a basis of reputed facts
and figures, degenerates at last into
bitter personalities, which are not
creditable to either party and may be
a blow upon the city itself. A few news
papers, more or less, may be sold, a
considerable minority of people may be
amused and excited—just as they
would be over a pugilistic encounter—
but, in the end, no earthly good is sub
served and much harm made possible.
We, therefore, propose, in the
interest of fair play and peace,
that “ Citizen ” and “ Many Voters ”
consent to reveal themselves, in pro
pria persona, and, at the City Hall, or
any other convenient place, meet Mr.
Estes, at a given time, and, face to
face, as becomes men who love their
cty and hate disguises, discuss the
ques:ions now at issue. We have had
no conversation with the Mayor upon
this subject, but do not doubt his will
ingness to endorse it. What say you
Messrs. “Citizen ” and “Many Voters?”
If this proposition be accepted by
Mayor Estes, and declined by his anon
ymous assailants, we presume the rea
sons for so doing will be perfectly
proper; but such a declension, on their
part, will give the Mayor a signal ad
vantage.
Again; if it be a mistake to suppose
that Mr. Estes is backed by a majority
of voters, who approve his candidacy
and election, for the specific reason
that he be allowed to complete the
work on the canal—a public discussion,
such as we have intimated and out
lined, would be the nucleus of organiz
ing against him, or else eliminate it as
a factor in the December election, by
consequential demoralization.
We repeat what we have said often
before, that newspaper shots, however
witty or weighty, will not beat Mayor
Estes before the people. If it is of
such grave concern that his defeat
ought to be compassed in December,
the opposition must consolidate under
some known leader, and not hope for
victory by fusilades in Charleston and
Augusta papers. That sort of thing is
mere mummery. If the opposition to
Mr. Estes is really formidable, and
means business, let them show their
faith by their works; and the
first thing necessary is to throw
off all . masquerade attire, don
plain citizen’s dress, come out into the
field of open debate, furnish tables for
the newspaper reporters, and let the
campaign begin. If anybody can
propose a better plan, we should like
to hear from him. Meanwhile, Mr.
Estes has nearly every point of advan
tage necessary to a re-election, and
the most his concealed adversaries can
hope is to irritate him, without any cor
responding benefit to themselves or
their cause.
Tit for Tat.
The Mobile Register, Hon. John For
syte's paper, says: “The South was
not originally responsible for the bonded
debt. This is true also as to the aboli
tion of slavery. Both are consequences
of the war. They are among the re
sults of the war that the South has ac
cepted. The South does not admit
itself to be in the position of a conquer
ed territory. It claims that of a coequal
in the Union. To attempt, therefore,
to destroy the value of the bonds would
be as clearly an act of bad faith as to
try to re-enslave the negro.”
Continuing that argument in a circle,
suppose we put the case thus : The
South was not originally responsible
for the war and therefore not responsi
ble for the Confederate debt. The debt
was a consequence of war. The co
equal North, nobody being conquered,
must acknowledge that debt, not to
speak of payment for illegally emanci
pated slaves. To attempt to destroy
the Confederate debt and the value of
Confederate bonds would be as clearly
an act of bad faith as the stealing of
a negro and refusing to pay for him.
We respectfully ask Hon. John Forsyth
to consider that.
Then and Boston Post
submits the following extract from
the diary of John Quincy Adams to Gen.
Grant :
Mr. Rambebt brought present s of porce
lain for my wife, for Charles, another for
myself. I refused to receive them, it being
a principle which I found necessary to
adopt from the first day I became a public
man, never to accept for myself or my
family a gift while I held a public office.
4 man who would let his old
Vicksburg war-horse be bought by a
negro has no more high-toned delicacy
than a gorilla has appreciation of the
songs of Solomon.
Changed.— When Butler and Wen
dell Phillips howied for vengeance
against the South, the pious bondhold
ers cried “Amen” and “Amen;” “they
speak words of wisdom.” Now that
Bctleb and Phillips call for vengeance
against these robbers of the poor, they
are classified with fools and knaves.
“Wo© unto you, Scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites!”
The Description of Man.
We have received from a very learn
ed and worthy friend the following
communication :
Mu. Editor : I am not so familiar with
Shakespeare as you, and would like to find
out in what play, act or character he gives
the definition of “man,” which in your
spicy little editorial you quote, or on what
page of what edition of the great poet I can
find it. lain aware that a greater poet
than Shakespeare did write some ten cen
turies and a* half before Shakespeare’s
day, in the 139th psalm of the 14th verse:
“I will praise Thee, for I am fearfully and
wonderfully made.” Therefore, if Shakes
peare wrote the above quotation, he must
either have been as original a thinker as the
“Royal Psalmist” or a Plagiarist. X. Y. Z.
Our correspondent mistakes an al
lusion to Shakespeare’s description of
man, in Hamlet: “What a piece of
work is man,” etc. —for a quotation
from that bard. The words “fearfully
and wonderfully made” are from the
Psalmist, as our friend declares and
proves. In the hurry of composition,
wo may have misled the reader by not
being sufficiently explicit in our phrase
ology. Shakespeare undoubtedly ap
propriated much material, in an un
equalled way, but it was not our inten
tion to bring him out as a plagiarist in
the above instance.
The Cause of Defeat. —The Balti
more Sun thus sums up :
An examination of the Ohio election re
turns shows that Allen gained over his
vote in 1873 in fifty-three counties, princi
pally in the rural districts, where newspa
pers circulate but little. Hates gained in
thirty-three counties, and it is a significant
fact that the fight was won in the cities,
the larger towns and the populous, intelli
gent counties where daily newspapers,
good schools and hard money champions
got in their best work. Cleveland, T> ledo,
Columbus and Cincinnati alone gfcve a Re
publican gain of 8,500. It is probable that,
had the election taken place before the
financial question was thoroughly dis
cussed, the State would have gone for
Allen by a large majority.
In the cities and their vicinity the
money power had the best chance to
corrupt. It is a poor argument to cast
odium upon the yeomanry of a State
who, it seems, were largely for Allen.
Greeleyism.— The Springfield Repub
lican saysj that “the Ohio Republicans
are not indebted for their success to
Morton, Blaine, Sherman* Dawes, Bout
well — the party leaders who have been
busy, all these years, apologizing and
exteuuat.ng and maintaining an unbro
ken front. These men only skirmished
around, in a more or less effective man
ner, on the edges of the fight. The
men who were in the thick of it, lead
ing and inspiring it and organizing vic
tory, were Halstead, Schurz, Wood
ford and Grosvenor— three of them
‘Greeleyites’ of 1872.”
Bayard— The Winnsboro News says:
■fthen Senator Bayard in the course of
his conversation remarked that Grant was
corrupt, that Sherman was a vandal, Bill
Allen a demagogue and Butler a scoun
dre', we felt like observing “Mister, will
you please say that agin, and say it slow?”
Senator Bayard will win no laurels
by coupling the name of Wm. Allen
with those of Grant and Sherman.
There is a tendency, in some quarters,
to revile that grand old man in his mis
fortune, but he is worthy of all honor
and respect.
A Model Politician. —According to
the New York Herald, Hesing, the
great German politician of Chicago,
goes around about four hours every
day promising his support to one set
of candidates, and stirs them up to
work for him ; and then he goes around
the next day to another set and prom
ises his utmost support to them, and
gets them to work for him ; and then
he trusts in God that the two, three or
four sets won’t find each other out.

In a Trance. —Some New York Spirit

Sisters of Charity and the Swiss
Protestant Ladies.— The infamy of the
expulsion of the Sisters of Charity from
a civilized community has been reserv
ed for the Radicals and Infidels of the
city of Geneva, in Switzerland. Even
the bigotted Mahometan aud ignorant
heathen have hesitated, before com
mitting the outrage. When the mea
sure for the banishment of the Sisters
of Charity was under discussion in the
conclave of the Radical authorities, six
hundred of the most prominent Protes
tant ladies, while protesting against
the proposed violation of the liberty of
occupation and the citizen, close their
petition with the following eloquent
words:
“We do not plead for Catholicism,
but we plead for humanity; stay your
hand, or a more merciful and civilized
posterity will curse you.”
Count Your Hours.
One person rises in the morniDg at
half-past nine, another at six. If each
live to be fifty years old, they will have
enjoyed 63,875 hours, or 2661 days more
than the other. Let us suppose that
there are throughout this country
1,500,000 persons who rise at a quarter
past nine, or later; of these perhaps
050,000 would, if they rose at six be
usefully employed. At this rate, 56,-
316,875,000 hours, or 6,432,291 years of
individual improvement, are lost to
society every half century. This is
supposing that these 950,000 get up at
quarter-past nine, whereas some thous
ands do not leave their beds*tili eleven
or twelve. All this time is uninter
rupted day, and composed of hours in
which the intellect i3 far clearer and
more fit for study than the rest of th*
day. I must be remembered, too, that
nothing conduces more to health, and
consequently to longevity, than early
rising. Suppose of the above num
ber of persons, 500,000 should live four
years longer than they otherwise would
have done, viz. fifty-four years instead
of fifty, according to the ratio above,
here are 2,000,000 more years of actual
existence utterly wasted.
“You appear in anew role, don’t you,

The other evening, when Harper’s

claimed. “Oh, the train’s broke in
two,” replied a gentleman who sat in
the next seat. “ Ugh! I should say

popular in East Washington.
