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. [Columbia Register. | 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. Two-story railroad coaches is the latest Swiss idea. Twelve cars are now making for branch line service, which weigh ten tons and have sixty-six seats each. Among the harbor improvements re commended to Congress by the Ports mouth (N. H.) Board of Trade is men tioned “a buoy at Pull-and-be-d—d Point.” Some Western bank burglars recent ly resorted to the device of squeezing a small boy in through a narrow win dow to open t&e doors for them from the inside. The woman lives in Massachusetts who can be carried over a revolving shaft GOO times, dropped into a race, pulled out and go home and have sup per at the usual hour. The man who “ run ” O’Baldwin’a fu neral said to the preacher : “ Don’t get in anything high-flown. Just say that he went plumb to heaven, and kinder put in a good word for his wife.” Speaking of big families, a Kentucky paper mentions Rev. James Quisenber ry, of Clark county, in that State, who had two sets of children, 12 in each, and each of the 24 children had from 12 to 19 offspring. Gathering frog’s legs is getting to be a business in its way. A dealer at Hud son, N. Y., caught 1,60) pounds of dressed frogs in one week, for which he got 30 cents a pound in the New York market, 28 cents being clear profit. Canada is not going to stick to Fri day as hangman’s day any more, but will swing a murderer off most any day that he wants to go. This dispo sition to oblige a man is commendable. Emily Faithful advises females not to marry until they are 25 years old; but bless you, Emily! you might as well ask Admiral Semmes to keep his mouth shut as to ask a girl of 20 to say “no” to an engagemeut ring—if it’s a nice one.—[Detroit Free Press.

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.

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.

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.
