<£Jjc Constitutionalist !AUOUBTA. O-A.,5 Wednesday Morning, Nov. 10, 1875. Examples for Young: Men—Premiums on Industry. We are glad to see that from Vir ginia to Louisiana there comes from the press of the South au entreaty for our people to plant less ’cotton, culti vate more small grain, and engage in various industries. The New Orleans Bulletin tells us that “the truth of the oft-repeated assertion that not only must they study to diversify their in dustries, but that wherever at all prac ticable, the manufacturing interest must be studied and advanced with all possible speed, is gradually but surely forcing itself upon their minds, and in some instances has been productive of great and beneficial results.” While it, is the best policy for our planters to feed themseles, as far as possible, at home, it is likewise the duty of all persons in this sec tion to patronize their own mer chants. The Richmond Enquirer puts the case truthfully thus: “What we most need is to bring the manufacturers, the bread-makers, and the cotton, sugar, and tobacco growers closer together, and unite them, not only in interest but in sympathy ; and in this great undertaking the merchant will have an important part to play, and there should be a mutual bond be tween the farmer or planter, the manu facturer and the merchant, to work to gether for the attainment of this great object even though it may cause a lit tle temporary inconvenience. \ Sinking every purely selfish aim, all should earnestly co-operate to bring about an era which cannot fail to be prod uctive of substantial and lasting , blessings. We shall be glad to see any movement in this direction which will bring, these three important interests] into closer alliance and establish a more perfect bond of union and abetter understand ing between them. It will be the dawn of anew era for the entire South.” For many years we have patiently and persistently preached this doctrine, and we are not yet weary of the theme, vain as have been the results, com paratively speaking. Asa collateral issue to this diversifi cation of our industry, it is highly im portant that our young men, especially those who fritter away their time in the cities and at county cross-roads, should gird up their loins, change their courses, and join the new army of la borers in this bountiful vineyard. The trouble with a majority of young men is that their ideas of farming, for example, are entirely too big for their capacity. If they will be satisfied to make a small beginning success will follow at last, and anything in the way of good, hard honest work is better than an idleness which consumes the production of the industrious classes and demoralizes a whole community. Strumming on a guitar or singing love ditties under a pretty girl’s window, at midnight, may do very well if the sere nailpr haa haan ctcadlly at during the day; but if the sun rises and sets upon the idler, it seems to us that any pretty girl of sense would rather sleep soundly than be awakened by a man with an operatic voice and an empty pocket-book. The expenses or the country are very insignificant compar ed with those of the city, and the inde pendence there to the thrifty youth is worth a deal more than a small salary in the town and a hard task-master. From time to time, we have given il lustrations of how men, boys and even women have prospered by degrees, un der the most adverse circumstances. In our own neighborhood these exam ples are not wanting. We find, in the New Orleans Times, the following apt example: Mr. John W. Collens, son of our esteem ed fellow-citizen, Judge Thomas Wharton CoELENs, although entirely raw in the du ties of a farmer, took a small farm last year and made the following crop by the labor of his own hands: Five bales of cot ton. ninety-seven barrels of corn, fodder and hay enough to feed his working stock, and chickens enough to furnish the means to buy such articles of diet and raiment as he requires. This was done in Wilkinson county, Mississippi, and he expects next year to far exceed his last year’s profits. Commenting upon this boy’s work and its results, the editor of the agricul tural department of the Times says : “This is an example worthy of being followed. There are hundreds of young men in this city who would be come far happier and better by doing it. They need not fear to meet the difficulties which lie in their way, for those they meet daily are far more to be feared. What is required is pluck. That is all. Who will try it?” We echo his remarks and make the appli cation to Augusta. Many young men here claim to have the requisite “pluck.” Let them prove it by their good works and not by mere verbal bravado. _________________ Majorities.— lt is now said that Hartranft’s majority will not be over 14,500. Eliminating Philadelphia frauds, the State is Democratic. The major ity for Carroll, in Maryland, will not be more than 500, according to latest reports. It is only fair to state that the claim is made that frauds in Balti more causod the defeat of Harris, the Republican-Reform candidate. The intelligent compositor made our correspondent, “Tax Payer,” in yesterday’s issue say in one place j ust the reverse of what he wrote. In the sentence, “For banking, be it remembered, in the hands of discreet men who have loanable capital.” etc,, the word “discreet” was published dis honest.—Nashville American. How would “discreetly dishonest” do ? There seems to be such a thing. The Matter.— Some of the papers are asking what’s the matter with the Democratic party, and they put it into the question: “Who struck Billy Pat terson’s son ?” Hon. A. H. Stephens rather grimly answers that “young Billy struck himself.” Which is a fact. It was not a murder, but a felo dese. Taylor’s Grave.— We are glad to learn that the relations of ex-President Taylor have become ashamed of his neglected and desecrated grave. They have recently patched it up. A Notable Article-Grant and the Third Term. Hon. A. H. Stephens is not the soli tary sagacious man In the country who accredits Grant with being not only one of the most remarkable individuals who has illustrated its annals, for good or evil, but also, by vast odds, the most adroit politician now within the Repub lican ranks. Long ago, Mr. Stephens foresaw this man’s tremendous power and possibilities, before the Sphinx himself suspected them, and every day justifies the Sage of Liberty Hall In his divination of persons and events. The political panorama has shifted so strangely within a year that It is hard to believe ourselves the same people. Such a rattling of dry bones, such a sifting of parties, such a wreck of rep utations, such betrayals of trust, such momentous campaigns have seldom been witnessed in the world’s theatre. And yet, despite the chaos and con fusion, what conspicuous figure has come forth, not only unshaken, but ab solutely advanced in stature, if not that of Ulysses S. Grant ? There is no use of his party trying to throw him off as their leader, unless suicide is contemplated; but, in our opinion, just as he has captured hesitating friends, he will also compel the alle giance of hostile partisans like the New York Times and kindred sheets. By far the most weighty, incisive, logical and profound article we have seen, for many months, touching the President-General’s power, prestige, in tellect and prospects, may be found in the latest number of the Spirit of the Times. Whether written by George Wilkes, or his associate, Mr. Buck, is of no consequence, save the fact that the senior editor of the Spirit was once a great chum of Grant’s, made peace between him and But ler, and when it suited the Man of the White House to do so, had his lemon squeezed and the peel incontinently thrown away. Mr. Wilkes’ wrath hav ing spent itself, or else taken anew de parture, we find him as an incompara ble exhibitor of the President’s ambi tion, policy and extraordinary astute ness. However the reader may be dis posed to agree with the premises or conclusions, we may safely promise him a rich treat in perusing a really first-class political article. And now that Gen. Grant holds so many trump cards and wields such terrific influence and is hourly more prominent as the leader of the Republican host in 1876, what should the Democratic party do to defeat him and save themselves? Grant will, in all human probability make his fight on hard money and re ligious sectarianism, with Cuba possi bly thrown in as a make-weight be tween the two. What policy and what leaders will the Democracy adopt and follow ? We confess that just here the gravest apprehensions arise. The De mocracy have such a fatal facility for taking up wrong doctrines and mala droit commanders that we fear there will either be a dangerous wrangle among themselves or else a wicked compromise with unprincipled dema gogues. j.i me past Detrayai or tne people shall be repeated In 1876, by the Democracy; if they stone their prophets and, to use a plain Scripture phrase, “go a-whoring af ter false gods ”; if they make the Presidency a mere scramble for spoils, instead of a patriotic contest for Con stitutional principles ; if they confront Radicalism where it is most formida ble, and not where it is most vulnera ble ; if, in a word, they stake their for tunes upon humbugging side-issues, instead of grand principles—-the con solidation of the Centralizing forces will prove almost irresistible, and it is seriously to be dreaded that Gen. Grant will not vacate the Presidency. That the party will commit no monstrous blunders in its policy or leadership we do most fervently hope ; but we have little security in past experience that this hope is anchored upon a certainty. Venice—Danger of Its Existence. According to the correspondence or the London Times, the Italian Parlia ment is very much puzzled to know what shall be done to save Venice from impending destruction. We learn that “ the danger is not from the sinking of the city, which hasj been going on for centuries, but from the filling up of the lagoons from the washings of the rivers, after which it is held that the whole district will be swallowed up by the sea, and that the last vestige of the great commercial and Republican peo ple of early times will disappear.— There are in Venice what are called the ‘ living lagoons ’ and the ‘ dead la goons,’ the former of which are flooded by the ordinary tide, and the latter only reached by very high tides. The ancient Venetian Republic apprehend ed the danger of disease and disaster from the rivers—the first from the mixture of the salt and fresh water, and the second from the washing of the sands—and so contrived to turn the courses |of the rivers Brenta, Bacchi glione, Piave and Sile, and forced them to empty into the sea outside the la goon. But the Brenta frequently over flowed its banks, spreading disease throughout'the adjoining districts,and the Austrian Government, then In do minion, and at the instance of the Pro vince of Padua, diverted the Brenta from its channel, \ and permitted it to empty into the lagoon. This was in 1840, and ever since that time Its de posits have been filling up the bed of the lagoon, ruining the commerce of Chioggia, a seaport town of 727,000 in habitants near by, infecting the sur rounding district with marsh fevers, and threatening the existence of Ven ioe.” To avert this calamity it is proposed to dredge the lagoon and turn the course of the Brenta. It happens, how ever, that Italy has well nigh beggared herself to keep up a military establish ment, and the money necessary to help save Venice is not easily procurable. Over Venice, as over every sick patient, the medicine men, be they doctors or engineers, are divided into hostile camps. The dredge advocates are op posed by persons equally scientific, who think the proper remedy must be the filling up of the lagoon, which would at last make Venice an inland city. The curse of Marino Faliero seems to have come upon a town which, as Queen of the Adriatic, was “throned on her hundred isles” when Liverpool was a mere ditch. In case of the submersion of the city, Byron’s wail will be remembered : “O, Venice! Venice! when thy marble walls Are level with the ocean, there shall be A cry of nations o’er thy sunken halls, A loud lament along the sweeping sea!” In case the proud city should be stripped of her romance as an Ocean Venus, her mystery gone with her wa tery thoroughfares and her fleet of gondolas, what a prosy life will her fu ture be oompared with a glorious past? Whatever* fate may betide, that which Is behind her, historically, Is at least secure, graven forever upon the historian’s pictured page and the poet’s undying song. A Home Thrust. —The Nashville American says Grant, with a foreigner for a son-in-law, is a very proper per son to stand at the head of the pro posed Native American movement. The Failure of the Russian Harvest. [New York World.J There seems to be no longer any room to doubt that the Russian Empire has been visited this year with one of the worst calamities which can befall a peo ple so extensively agricultural, and condemned by their governmental sys tem to so exclusive a dependence upon their own resources for the prime ne cessaries of life. The Russian harvests have failed, not here and there in scat tered districts of the empire, but from end to end of the vast dominions of Alexander 11. in Europe. There have been premonitions here and there of this great disaster for some time past, and a steady rise in the price of grain at Odessa has prepared those who watch such phenomena with the atten tion they deserve, for the news which now reaches us. But hardly for the extent and gravity of the calamity. A carefully prepared article in the Allege meine Zeitung of October 19, fore shadowing pretty plainly the putting of anew and important Russian loan upon the markets of the West, gives us a most impressive picture of the unhap py condition to which the rural districts of the Russian Empire now find them selves reduced. From Orel to Keirn, from Tambow to Podolsk, comes up one universal wail from the ruined peasants and far mers. “It is not a local lamentation like that which reached all hearts from the great famin in Samara,” says the Allegemeine Zeitung, “it is an absolute prostration of nearly the whole grain growing region of Russia.” The dis tricts which are confronted by a vision of famine steadily approaching with the inexorable winter, can look no where for help, since the peril is uni versal. And the catastrophe is the more complete that the failure of the cereals has been accompanied by a failure of the grass crops. The peasants have neither fodder for their cattle nor food for themselves.— The price of straw and hay has gone up in all the afflicted regions to a fab ulous figure. The peasants who have lost with their grain crops all their means of supplying the failure of their grass, find themselves compelled to part with thqjr cattle at ruinous prices, and, of course, in parting with their cattle, they part with the future of their hardly-tilled acres. In many re erions of Western Russia these unhap py people are onKmiHing to iho most oppressive conditions, in the hope of finding themselves not completely stripped of all their farm stock when the Spring shall give them anew op portunity to retrieve their ruined for tunes. In one place in Podolia, for example, well-to-do farmers are put ting their cattle out to keep for the Winter on the condition that for every yoke of oxen delivered back to them in the Spring, the landlord who keeps them during the Winter shall retain two yokes of oxen. Of course, it does not certainly follow, from this terrible condition of the agriculture of Russia, which is the main industry of the em pire, that Russia will entirely disap pear from the grain markets as an ex porting power during the curient sea son. Grain was exported from Ire land, it will be remembered, even du ring the height of the dreadful famine of 1847, and the internal communica tions of Russia are still so inadequate that there are doubtless districts of Southern Russia particularly from which it will be more easy to export grain at Western prices to Western Europe than to send it at famine prices into Western and Northern Russia. But the Russian export of grain to Great Britain, for example, must neces sarily fall off very greatly under the stress of such a condition of the domestic supply and demand; and the Russian export of grain to Great Britain, in the year 1873, amounted in value to no less than £8,990,- 238 sterling, or in round num bers to $45,000,000 iu gold, against an American export of grain in the same year to Great Britain of more than £16,000,000 in round numbers, or about $80,000,000. It is obvious, therefore, that the disaster which has befallen Russia has a direct and serious im portance for this country. Upon the general resources of the Russian em pire itself this calamity, as the Allege meine Zeitung is at some pains to show, is already making its mark in a great falling off of the public revenues, as well as in a formidable increase of the prospective demands upon those reve nues. The peasants, who are simply unable to pay their taxes this year, will be knocking at the doors of the pub lic treasury next year for relief and for the means to resume their indus try. They must be heard and answer ed. The great issues of the Russian people, already fermenting with all manner of strange and mystical no tions, dreams and ambitions, tinctured all of them with a high tone of what in the West is known and abhorred as “communism,” cannot be safely left to the maddening influences of famine and despair. The agriculture of the empire must be helped when the new year begins. How shall it be helped, and by whom? The condition of the peasantry forbids the hope of any ef fective help from associations formed among themselves. They are all in volved in one disaster, and that a com plete and sweeping disaster. Shall they be assisted by private capital organized in some such form as the Agricultural Institutions of Credit which have done so much for Eastern Prussia, or by the State directly? The traditions of the Rus sian government point to the latter al ternative, and this the Allegemeine Zei tung thinks will be chosen. In other words, the famine of 1875 will lead to a great Russian Loan in 1876. The credit of the empire, as was shown but the other day in London, Is excellent, and a great loan could probably be raised in Western Europe by Russia to-day on more favorable terms than by any other power. But it is quite another question, what will be the effect upon Russian credit hereafter of such a loan raised for such a purpose and dis bursed as under the existing adminis trative system of Russia, it is quite sure to be, no more wisely or honestly than a similar loan would be for exam ple by a Delano or a Beikliap in ur own country. ( With this question we dtl not, how ever, concern ourselves to-d jy. Let it suffice us now to have callecl the atten tion of our readers to a !£ict of the greatest import, both politically und commercially, in the present stab) of Europe, which has but ju&s begui to appear in its full proportion upon the horizon. That this fact m at already have exerted a very decided influence upon the general policy of t]ie Russian Empire need scarcely be sa : ;d. Ttose who have been looking in ah directions and under all manner o. 'plomatic green tables to find an explanation of the singular forbearance winch Russia has shown during the recent distur bances in the Ottoman Eilipire, may see in the prostration of her agricul ture a strong determining fdree on tAe side of temperance and patience eren to the Turk.

Db. 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 now per fectly restored. It is about five mouths since I began its use, and I have not had an attack (since.

They com manded the admiration of the true and the brave in every land. But how few admire a fine 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.
