@jje Constitutionalist. AUGUSTA, GA.: Wednesday Morning, Nov. 10, 1875. The Old Twine String. BY MARIA LOU EVE. [From the Atlanta Constitution.] Not a bouquet of rare exotics, Made by a gardener’s cunning skill; Only a bunch of common roses, Withered and dead, but fragrant still, Tho’ it’s full four years, in the coming spring, Since he tied them with an old twine string. • 0 “A bunch of roses, dead and dry; And why,” quoth I, “should it be kept, When even the day that.made it dear, Is dead to me, and all unwept?” “And surely, I said, “’tis a worthless thing, With the stems tied up in an old twine string.” But somehow, then, that simple knot That held thro’ all those changing years, Touched, all at once, a tender spot And tilled my eyes with sudden tears— "He tied it,” I said, “like a ’trothal ring. Tied a true-love knot, in the old twine string.” “Alack!” I said, “the twine is strong, It holdeth fast, thro’ time and tears.” I put the roses softly back; I’ll keep them yet, a few more years, (I wonder I did such a silly thing) For the foolish knot, in the old twine j string. CURRENT TOPICS. Presidential Calculations—The Tote by States. Now that every important election pend ing the vote for President has been held we have accurate data upon which to base calculations as to the true result of that contest. Let us look into the matter dis passionately and try and see accurately and truthfully which party will elect its candidate next year. The Democratic States, with their respective electoral votes, are as follows: Alabama 10 Aikansas. 6 California 6 Connecticut 6 Delaware 3 Florida 4 Georgia 11 Indiana 15 Kentucky 12 Louisiana 8 Maryland 8 Mississippi 8 New York 3) New Hampshire 5 Tennessee 12 Texas 8 Virginia 11 West Virginia 5 North Carolina 10 Democratic electoral vote 198 The Republican btatos, with their re spective electoral votes, are as follows: Colorado S Illinois 21 lowa 11 Kansas 5 Maine 7 Massachuset ts 13 Michigan 10 Minnesota 5 Nebraska 3 Nevada 3 New Jersey . 9 Ohio 22 Oregon 3 Pennsylvania 29 Rhode Island 4 South Carolina 7 Vermont 5 Wisconsin 10 Republican electoral vote 170 In the above tables we have given the Republicans the bene lit of every doubtrul State. We have put nothing down for the Democrats which does not belong to them, either by oft-repeated votes or recent vic tories. We, by no means, concede that Ohio, Oregon or Pennsylvania will vote the Republican ticket, when the real issues of the Presidential campaign are presented to them. Nor do we concede Illinois or New Jersey. But give them all to them, , and still the Democratic party will tri umph. All in the world we have to do in order to hurl the Radical party from power is to close up our ranks and unite the party upon a great, wise and noble platform which contemplates tho resurrection of the country from all the woes into which the Republicans have plunged it during the last fifteen years. We must thrust aside this useless cry about haid and soft money, a veritable apple of discord thrown by our enemies into our ranks for the purpose of distracting us. We must fight the enemy upon their meiits, holding up before the world their venality and corruption, call ing attention earnestly’ and truthfully to the ruined trade, the bankruptcy, the decline of commerce, and general prostration if not actual destruction, of every vital inter est in tho United States, each and all di rectly traceable to the misgovernment of the party in power. We must ask the peo ple if they want four more years of such dreadful times as we are passing through now. is thei e a single hope to be derived from the Republican party? Can it give the country a single guarantee that if it is continued in power times will be better? — Can it assure more confidence between capital and labor, a revival of eommerceby land and sea, work for our mechanics, now almost either universally idle or laboring for a scanty supply of food and clothing, work for the common laborers, better prices for factory products, better prices for farm produce? It is notorious that the whole country Is on the retrograde. Nobody is prospering. Great interests are breaking down and going to ruin by the hour. Wo charge that the Republican party is responsible for all this. We be lieve that a Democratic administration would restore our ancient prosperity. Will the people continue the medicine which has brought them to the verge of the grave, and instead of curing one ill has produced a thousand more ? Having enduring faith in the wisdom of American citizens, we hope not. Though often carried away by excitement, we have faith in that grand declaration of Martin Van Buben who rose to the full measure of a statesman when he said, “The sober sec ond thought of the people is always right.” What sometimes becomes of a man whose chief ambition is to shoot at a mark; “ The crack shot of the Swiss marksmen present at the German Fed eral Rifle match, held at Stuttgardt in August last—Staub, of Waedenswell (Zurich)— is now in a mad-house, suf fering from mental aberration induced by the success that attended his shoot ing.” Gapt. Joel W. Anderson, who died in Greenville county, was buried at Smyr na Church, in this county, on Tuesday, 26th ult., by the brethren of Cross Hill Lodge, No. 159, A. F. M., the deceased being a member of the same. Why is a fashionable lady on the street like a neat chambermaid ? One is tidy around above, while the other is tied around below. And now approaches that delightful season to the young and ardent, when coal fires are started in the parlor and the old folks grow sleepy at an early hour. When Blobbs’ wife brought out his rubber boots and rubber overcoat, Monday, he remarked, enthusiastically, “Waterproof this is of your affection, love.” i Mention is made of a"veteran in Al bany who stuttered badly, and who got himself into trouble by inquiring where “the army of the Cu-cumberland” was in session.
