Cljc Constitutionalist.
AUGUSTA. GA--:
Friday Morning, October 22, 1875.
Municipal Affairs Again.
Our contemporary of the Chronicle
and Sentinel disclaims, in his issue of
yesterday, that the coupling of the pro
prietorship of the Constitutionalist
■with the course this paper has seen fit
to follow in municipal affairs was in
tended in any other spirit than that of
benevolentjenlightenment our “ap
parent ignorance.” Of course, like all
loos of Adam, we are fallible and have
n it made a perfect circle of the sciences,
but the article of our contemporary
was so cunningly worded, and followed
b_> promptly upon a declaration
in form by another party, that
we were justified in calling it what
we did, and what we do, with
out any siuister “insinuation,” a“strange
coincidence.” If our contemporary
should torture this into a supposition
that he was “inspired” or that editorial
articles appearing in his paper are
“written by outside parties”—that is
his privilege and he is welcome to it.
We hold him simply to our written lan
guage that a plump statement from
one person followed by an article ap
parently suggestive of the same idea
was a strange coincidence. As if to
intensify such an inference, we find in
the Chronicle and Sentinel, of yester
day an editorial article clipped
from a Charleston paper which
rings the charges upon the Constitu
tionalist’s supposed attitude toward
Mr. Estes and insidiously says “a canal
contractor's newspaper cannot be de
pended on when the canal is under dis
cussion.” Did this Charleston sheet
get its cue from our brother of the
Chronicle and Sentinel's article, or is
this another “among those strange co
incidences which occur at times?”
So much for some of the reasons
guiding us in finding “strange coinci
dences,” which we frankly give to our
neighbor. Since, however, he has,
after the Socratic method, and without
the aid of a “gifted gentleman with a
metaphysical mind,” denied that
there was any intention on his
part to drag Major Jackson’s
name into this connection, swiftly in
ferred by the News and Courier, whose
“gin-twist” seems to be a little soured
lately; and since our neighbor is a gen
tleman whom we have always respect
ed personally and professionally—we
acquit him of all blame, and, if he con
siders himself in any way aggrieved,
we hereby make the amende honorable
and assure him most cordially that
anything he can demand from us, in
reason, will be promptly acceded to.
Having set our contemporary right,
or attempted to do so, and having
prayed for pardon, if we have done him
an unintentional wrong, we do not,
however, feel called upon to give the
name of the gentleman be asks of us,
for two reasons. The first is because
that gentleman would not care to have
himself further discussed, as we are
led to believe/and, in the Second place,
because we have had a satisfactory in
terview with him, and consider that
case closed between us.
What Mr. Estes can or cannot
do in the way of completing the canal
or making estimates to that end, he
will probably answer specifically over
his own signature, and, if our proposi
tion of yesterday be accepted by his
assailants, he may, do so face to face
with them. [Meanwhile, in common
with many others, we think that he
should be re-elected for another term
to consummate the canal enlargement.
We do not claim that he should have a
“monopoly of the Mayoralty,” but, if a
majority of his fellow-citizens deem
him a fit person to re-eleot, he will most
likely have another year in that office.
If a majority of the voters of Augusta
are not of that way of thinking, we ad
vise them now, as we have done a doz
en times before, to organize against
him under a chosen leader and make a
contest with live men instead of buck
ram pseudonyms. If they neglect to
do so, Mayor Estes will virtually
“ walk over the course.”
Should the opponents of the Mayor,
who write so cleverly, and no doubt so
patriotically, accept the proposition of
an open and above-board campaign
discussion, the matter will be vastly
simplified. At present, the most point
ed shots at the Mayor are on his per
sonal record. How can he retort upon
adversaries, in kind, who attack him
covertly? We all know in this com
munity how these controversies pro
gress and end. To avoid such degen
erations of attack and defense, we sug
gested a fair field and open debate. If
the worthy gentlemen who differ, hon
estly as we feel assured, from the
Mayor and his policy, object to
aa oral discussion, preferring the in
strumentality of the pen to oratory, let
them continue as they have done before,
with the single modification of making
specific charges and signing their true
names at the end of their communica
tions. If they decline both proposi
tions, we hardly know what to do in
the way of further suggestion for the
sake of peace and correct information.
If matters proceed as they t have done;
if Mr. Estes has no formal adversary
to combat and no organized opposi
tion, he may be peppered by “paper
bullets of the brain” and stung by in
sinuations, but he will not be defeated.
Staggering Figures—Financial Reme
dies.
The Nashville American summarizes
and comments upon an elaborate state
ment of Mr. Edmund Burke, of New
Hampshire, some time back, account
ing for the general depression of com
merce. He estimated the loss to the
country by the war at $10,000,000,000,
which had been accumulated in both
the lately hostile sections. It says:
“The country was also made poorer by
82,000,000,000 in the loss of life. The
indebtedness, national, State and mu
nicipal was estimated at $4,000,000,000,
and $4,000,000,000 for the indebtedness
of individuals and corporations. Tax
ation for Federal, State, county and
municipal governments, estimated at
$700,000,00G annually. The tariff
takes from the people's pockets in
directly, for Revenue purposes 8200,-
000,000 in the form of duties,
and under pretence of protecting mil
lions more in the increase of price of
fabrics imported. His estimates may
be extravagant, but suppose they even
approximate the actual figures. Is it
practicable to undertake specie resump
tion in three years from date, with the
people and country in this condition ?
If it has to be done by contraction, and
it is admitted there is no other method,
can the country bear the storm ? To
fund the legal tenders will require at
least an increase of gold interest, to be
provided out of taxation to the amount
of another 820,000,000 a year. Can the
tax-payer stand $40,000,000 a year when
$20,000,000 is too much ? It is all very
well to rant at the rag-money spook,
but is the proposition to resume the
payment of honest money in three
years a strictly honest proposition ?”
Mr. Topp, a distinguished Memphis
financier, taking these and other facts
und figures as a text, recently deliver
ed an admirable address upon the
causes of mercantile depression and
their remedy. We quote his conclu
sions:
“If one of you overloads his wagon,
gets into a rut and the team can’t
move it, you unload. This is precisely
what we must do with our present
troubles. We must unload.
“1. We should commence by electing
no men to office, State or national, who
are not pledged, deeply pledged, to re
trench expenditures in every depart
ment, and if that wifi not do, we should
call conventions, amend constitutions
with restrictions, beyond which Legis
lators could not go.
“2. As the Congress of the United
States had no power under the Consti
tution to pass laws exempting the
property of rich men from taxation,
and thereby unduly overload others
that are poorer and less able to pay,
we must repeal the law authorizing
capital investment in national bonds to
bo exempted from taxation.
“3. As banks, money lenders and
bondholders are not of absolute im
portance to the community, we should
discourage such investments and pur
suits, by bringing down the rate of in
terest generally and throughout the
country, so as not to exceed three per
cent, per annum on all contracts, and
thereby force them to otherwise in
vest their capital. The rate of interest
in London is now one, one and a half,
and one and five-eights per cent.
“4. As the holders of national
bonds have been repaid two-fold the
capital by them originally invested, we
should compel them to take green
backs in payment of their bonds or do
worse.
“5. As national banks were created
for the benefit of bondholders, and do
no good, they should be repealed out
of existence.
“6. Make greenbacks our sole cir
culating medium, and that they may
approximate coin, make them receiva
ble for all dues whatever to the Gov
ernment.
“7. Compel the holders of State,
county and municipal bonds to fund
them at their market value, drawing
three per cent. only.
“ There may be other necessary
changes—two of these, making green
backs receivable for all dues to the
Government, and lowering the rate of
interest everywhere and on all things,
so as to make dealing in money—in
vestments in money and in bonds the
least desirable of all other investments
whatever. Make money and banks
useful and desirable only to facilitate
exchanges. This would bring instant
and lasting relief.
“ The calamities on the country will
compel us to make this new departure.
Men liable to be drowned will seize any
plank that will carry them safely to
shore. The questions suggested in
some shape will be involved in the
coming contest. The small questions
of expansion, contraction and specie
payments will not be more heeded than
would the petty crepitations of an ar
tificial volcano when the sublime ex
plosions of Vesuvius are to be heard.”
Race-Issues—A First-Class Crawfish
in Philadelphia.
Some weeks ago, we gave the details
of a refusal upon the part of the trus
tees of Mount Moriah Cemetery, situ
ated near Philadelphia, to permit the
burial therein of the body of a colored
man who had, in some way become
possessed of a lot. It was a Guibord
affair with the ecclesiastical parapher
nalia omitted. The reasons given for
barring the way to the remains of a
colored person are of that character
for which Philadelphia lawyers have
become proverbial. These Radical peo
ple. who never hesitated when it suited
their purposes to violate the Constitu
tion of the United States, now, when it
suits their purposes to refuse negro
equality in the grave—where there is
equality at last—are sticklers for a
strict construction of a charter by no
means of such importance as the Fed
eral Bill of Rights. These absolute
trustees quote their charter and anno
tate it thus :
There is not, nor can there be, any col
ored lot-holder In Laurel Hill, Woodlands.
Monument, Odd Fellows’, American Me
chanics’ or any other cemetery of which
the Mount Moriah managers have know
ledge, and this has not heretofore been con
sidered any hardship, for the colored peo
ple have beautiful cemeteries of their own.
The principal cemeteries have clauses in
their charters prohibiting colored owner
ship, and some of them even colored inter
ment. There are over 11,000 lot holders,
and about 50,000 people directly or Indi
rectly concerned in Mount Moriah Ceme
tery, and as a great majority of them are
opposed to the use of the cemetery by col
ored people, the management, since the
trouble has commenced, has had to deal
with excited and angry men and women
who have thronged the cemetery. The es
timated value of the cemetery grounds,
etc., is $3,000,000, and if colored people are
allowed to become owners the depreciation
in the value can hardly be estimated. The
ultimate effect will be to make it a colored
cemetery. Should the court decide in favor
of Mrs. Jones, then the effect will be to
compel all the other cemetery companies
to receive colored bodies likewise for inter
ment.
Not long since, we published the
averment of a Republican that when
ever a colored man moved Into a
highly organized Radical ward of Phila
delphia an outcry arose as if a leper
from the Sandwich Islands had come
into their midst. He significantly
added that the advent of such a per
son “depreciated property fifty pe,r
cent 1” And now we are informed, “by
authority,” that angry and excited men
and women have made the trustees
of a cemetery howl at the very shadow
of a negro cadaver.
What a spectacle for gods and men !
The people who urged war upon the
South to destroy negro slavery, and
afterward spent $1,000,000,000 and
ruined themselves to force negro fran
chise and all that it implies, become
frantic when their doctrines are
brought home to them, and, even at
the jaws of the tomb are self-convicted
hypocrites !
Southern Manufacturing.
[Washington Chronicle.]
At Augusta, Ga., an enterprise Is to
be started soon, the Dublin Mills, for
the purpose of manufacturing colored
cheeks and stripes. It is stated that,
within a hundred miles, there is noth
ing of the kind, except at Athens. The
larger part of the capital is already se
cured and a fine site has been selected,
comprising nearly sevenj acres. The
buildings are all up and ready for the
machinery. When the capacity of the.
mill shall demand an thereTs"
plenty of room. It is contended that
the margin of profit in the manufacture
of goods such as we have mentioned is
one of the best now offering. Some of
the staunchest citizens have become
subscribers to this new project.
The Constitutionalist, in speaking
of the matter, after commenting quite
properly upon the water-power at Au
gusta as being of a very superior char
acter, pays this compliment fc to a sister
city, while showing up the true policy
of its own locality :
“One of the secrets of success in Colum
bus is, that her mills are not confined solely
to plain, heavy, brown goods. In that city
manufacturing industry has been diversi
fied. We believe that the true policy for
a lother mill to be started here is, to en
gage in the making of such fabrics as the
South requires, and not heavy material
which is, to a large degree, shipped to the
East or West.”
Georgia is destined to be a manufac
turing State. In this particular, she is
reaching far ahead of her neighbors.
In the disposition which she manifests,
and in the execution of her projects as
well, wifi be found the secret of the
strength she is now developing.
Mother’s Baby.
Rebecca Harding Davis writes: At
every resort this summer, from the
crowded mountain hotel to the tent on
the beach, whatever else was wanting,
there was always to be found the in
evitable baby, with its retainers, the
mother in the chief place of servitude.
It was not by any means, as she sup
posed, regarded by the rest of the
boarders as a boon, a something drop
ped from. heavenly places. There was
growling and swearing enough in other
rooms when it shrieked all night with
colic, and the interest of the old bach
elors in its teething or pink toes was
not half so fervent as she fondly im
agined. Yet tbyey, with everybody else,
crowded about her when she came
out on the porch with it in the
morning. She was a homely lit
tle woman, and the baby little
else than a long sweep of muslin dra
pery, with a round, bald head atop; but
there was a something in her face as
she looked at it which drew every pass
er-by nearer and warmed his heart,
just as a message from his own home
would have done, or a glimpse of the
great mountains, or a sudden stirring
song. It was the old picture of the mo
ther and child, of which artists never
tire, and which do so much to human
ize the world for many centuries. No
matter who this young mother may be,
whether Laura in silk or Dolly the
washerwoman, it is the love in her in
significant face which makes it rich
and rare for us—the love and absolute
faith in her child. Every woman gives
to her sickly, dull baby the royal title
which Germany found for her master
thinker—he is the only one. Into what
ever wrecks life may fall for her in the
future, he is certain—a rock to build
upon, no sandy foundation.
Only Bluff.

Our little dig into its ribs has hurt
the Charleston News and Courier. It
whines to the public. It calls for its
judgment upon us. Now we are, hap
pily, not at all sensitive about what the
public may think. We are not afraid
of being misjudged by it. The Con
servative public of South Carolina and
ourselves are well acquainted, and sus
tain to each other cordial and confiding
relations, and it is beyond the ability,
if it had the will, of the News and Cou
rier to disturb them. The Conserva
tive public feel as we do, that its flour
ish about prosecutions is all in my eye,
only calculated, if not meant, to divert
attention from graver matters, which it
uses its power to keep in the back
ground. Its jeering, ridiculing and
hounding on Dunn and Melton is only
another form of tribute to other State
officers whom, for the moment, it likes
better.

HOW AWFULLY CULPABLE
MUS r be thnso afflicted with Consump
tion, Bronchitis, Asthma, or any dis
ease of the Lungs, Throat or Chest, who
neglect to use Dr. Tutt’e Expectorant
after reading the following letter, written
by one of the most estimable ladies in the
South:
Savannah, Ga., April 28, 1872.
Dr. Tutt In gratitude for the benefit
received by the use of your Expectorant I
do cheerfully add my testimony to its won
derful power in curing deep-seated coughs.
For several years I suffered dreadfully with
a cough, attended wi:h great difficulty of
breathing. I was induced to try your Ex
pectorant, and it gave almost immediate
relief. I took six bottles, and am how per
fectly restored, It is about five months
since I began its use, and I have not had an
attack since. It has been a great blessing
to me; I cannot afford to be without it dng
heartily recommend it to all who have’lu
or throat disease. Very respectfully,
Mbs. A. M. Werlborn.

V E C E TAB L L
INCREDULITY.
H° w potent is this trait of the human
ae B ‘blo refers to it and
says: Were an angel to come down from
heaven, ye would not believe.” It is the
cause of much injury. Wo are disposed to
doubt the sincerity of our best friends, and
so far is it indulged, that i, often leads to
misanthropy.
This is particularly applicable to the vir
tues of many truly valuable remedial
agents, however strong they may be en
dorsed.
Reader, if you have Dyspepsia, Fever
and Ague, Sick Headache, Torpid Liver
Bilious Colic, Kidney Disease, Flatulence’,
Constipation olf the Bowels or General De
bility, and hesitate to use Dr. Tutt’s Liver
Pills, write to him and he will furnish you
with hundreds of certificates from the
most reliable raeu and women in the coun
try, who have been cured by them, of whom
you can make direct inquiry. It will cost
you but a postage stamp. The proprietor
solicits the investigation of all who need a
truly valuable medicine.
