AUGUSTA. G-JK..Z
•■■*"
Friday Morning, WoTember 12, 1875.
South Carolina and Mississippi.
It is always a delicate matter for a
Georgian, especially of the journalistic
fraternity, to comment unfavorably
upon the political affairs of South Caro
lina. But Augusta is so near to our
sister State, and her interests are so
•iosely interwoven there, that it is im
possible to be always silent upon this
most important theme. The Missis
sippi election and its remarkable re
sult compel us to make some com
ments upon this subject, and we shall
endeavor to do so in the kindest man
ner.
The overthrow of Ames and the Rad
ical monstrosity in Mississippi is proof
positive that no Southern State need
long remain under Ethiopian rule, if
the people of that commonwealth ad
dress themselves properly to the task
of redemption. We are firmly of opin
ion that South Carolina can hurl her
Radical incubus from power, whenever
she shall determine to do so, after the
manner of Mississippi. The people of
that State must primarily be marshaled
under the right banner, led by the
most determined men and backed by a
press unaccustomed to be eccentrically
moved as one regime of carpet-baggers
or scalawags succeeds another. That
the leading men and the leading policy
of South Carolina have hitherto been
failures seems to us Indisputable; that
the papers have been, in some way,
wanting, however, honestly, admits of
little question. We take fdr granted
that the white people of South Caro
lina are not one whit less plucky, pa
triotic and full of enthusiasm, when a
crisis Is at hand, than the people of
Mississippi. If they are, terribly have
they degenerated since the days of
1860-’65, and grievously are some in
dividuals or influences to blame for.the
supposed demoralization of the most
gallant race under the sun. Wo make
no charges and utter no taunts, but
the facts of history, in the past few
years, appear to indicate, beyond a
doubt, that either the people of the
Palmetto State have been recreant to
their high character, or else they have
been, innocently it may be, misled,
misguided and warped.
It is urged that a revolution at the
bnllot box cannot be consummated in
South Carolina, except by prevailing
upon the negroes, by hook or by crook,
to vote the Conservative or Democratic
ticket. Granting this, there must have
been something cardinally faulty in
South Carolina leadership or manage
ment, when efforts in this direction
have been attended with suoh barren
results, seeing that the Mississippi
programme has been overwhelmingly
triumphant. Now, some element,
either of policy, leadership or man
agement, has been to blame in
the Palmetto State. It may be
that the blame or mistake has
been universal. At all events,
Mississippi has been redeemed, and
we are virtually told by one of the or
gans of our sister State that South
Carolina’s chances are not so promis
ing, because her people are not ready
or willing to make the same sacrifices.
We are loth to credit this assertion,
knowing so well the Carolinians of the
better day of the Republic, and It may
be in order to ask, if the allegation be
true, what has brought a once high
spirited and noble race to such an abyss
of supineness? It would be well for
men of Carolina who have chafed un
der the yoke of alien domination to
investigate this matter, to learn forcer
tain whether It be true or false, to
probe to the bottom the causes of dis
aster, and, if the knowledge requisite
to eject a barbarous authority be not
obtainable in their own commonwealth,
to send a committee of inquiry to Mis
sissippi and report progress for the
common weal.
Our own opinion is that the day and
hour have come for the whites of South
Carolina to make a supreme effort to
imitate Mississippi, and, to that end,
seek new leaders, anew policy and, if
possible, anew departure on the part
of some of their presses. It is possible
that we mistake the case, but we think
not. Old systems of reform and old
leaders have signally failed. It would
seem the part of wisdom to either “re
form” the leaders or the policy, or else
try anew tack under fresh comman
ders.
At this juncture, with the hurrahs
from Mississippi freemen ringing in his
ears, we see Gov. Chamberlain betak
ing himself to Charleston, vociferously
received by the citizens there, and, in a
public speech, promising all manner of
glorious things. Mr. Chamberlain may
be sincere, and it may be his intention
t o reverse the traditions of his party;
but there is a reasonable fear of a
Greek when he comes bearing gifts, es
pficlally when the Greek aforesaid has
been one of the chief instruments, in
the past, of making the State of South
Carolina a by-word, reproach and
mockery. We sincerely trust that his
good intentions are what he states
them to be—though hell Is paved
with such—and that he stands ready
and willing to do for South Carolina
what Mississippi’s own sons have done
for their State. I! so, and if it is not
expedient to bring a native South Car
olinian to the fore-front, let him give
guarantees of his good faith, or else
let the people clear the decks for ac
tion and begin a poaoeful revolution in
the Palmetto State which shall, at the
polls, finally wipe out the last vestige
of Republican misrule. That such a
happy consummation is within the
reach of the people we firmly believe,
unless they have indeed fallen from
their high estate and been taught to
look upon semi-Radicallsm as not
such a bad thing after all, just as the
noble Senator Batard was silenced by
a Charleston man at the Greelet con
vention, because he protested that the
Southern States did not dearly love
their chains, as embodied in the uncon
stitutional amendments, and implored
the Democratic party, for the sake of
the suffering South, to commit no such
monstrous blunder as was there con
templated.
Without attempting to assume any
dictational spirit over South Carolina
affairs, and without claiming infalli
bility In the premises, and with a most
ardent desire to confer with the people
for the common good of themselves
and us all, we have, In the kindest way
and with the best intentions, thrown
out these ideas or suggestions, to be
accepted or discarded according as they
may possess merit or evince fallacy.
We are not of those who believe that
the people of South Carolina are so
callous that Milton’s lines apply to
them when he says:
"Yet sometimes nations will decline so low
From virtue, which is reason, that no
wrong,
But justice, and'some fatal cause annexed,
Deprives them of their outward liberty,
Their inward lost.”
Rather do we believe that the peo
ple of South Carolina only require
a quickening touch, a master-hand at
the helm, a clarion voice calling upon
them to rally, so that in the future, as
in the days gone by, upon their broad
shield of honor shall be inscribed this
golden legend:
“The greatest glory of a free-born peo
ple
Is to transmit that freedom to their child
ren.”
Better Signs % for Business.
When the newspapers of the country
concurrently predict better times for
trade and give some plausible, if not
absolute, reasons therefor, we begin to
look for anew spirit as well as anew
life in all departments of trade. The
Nashville American says “ordinarily
this is about the dullest season of the
year for business of every kind, in and
out of the commercial metropolis of
the country. In addition, the election
excitements of last week operated as a
diversion to which merchants as well
as other people had to succumb. With
all that, our exchanges, especially the
commercial papers of New York, are
sanguine enough to believe a much
brisker trade is immediately ahead of
s. It Is true that for a week or two
longer we may expect the usual No
vember lull, but that gives way to the
holiday trade, and this never falls to
infuse more or less animation into
nearly all kinds of business.” —
The New York Bulletin thus speaks:
“If the volume of transactions for the
moment is limited, we think it may be
said that there Is no abatement of the
hopeful feeling noticeable throughout
the Autumn, nor of the conviction that
the country is making as steady pro
gress to recovery as could reasonably
be expected when all the circumstances
and conditions of the business situa
tion are duly estimated. The process
of liquidation is still in progress, as the
numerous suspensions and assignments
we have been publishing in our local
column from day to day bear witness;
but as these are, as a rule, the debris
of the wreck of 1873, the disposition is
to accept them rather as matters of
course than as fresh surprises. ‘Weed
ing out’ often has a disturbing effect
upon the healthy plants around
where the weeds grow; but It is
better, nevertheless, that the weeds
should be disposed of. It is a
sign of health.” The New Orleans
Price Current states “that nearly all
branches of the wholesale trada there
are doing an active and satisfactory
business. Tha salsa of dry goods par
ticularly are on a liberal scale, and thus
far this season these have been of
greater extent than in any correspond,
ing period since 1867.” The Boston
Journal of Commerce allude* hopefully
to the dry goods market, and adds :
“Goods aro constantly being shipped
off in various quantities to England,
China, Africa, South America, the
British Provinces, eto. Messrs. Fa
byan, Bliss & Cos. have had_larg sales
of plain cottons of the Continental
Mills, for Manchester, England, and
they have orders for 3,000 bales of drills
and like goods for China, which it will
take the Pepperell and Laconia Mills
till the first of January to fill. Messrs.
Joy, Langdon & Cos. have sold a large
assortment of 4-4 Hamilton prints for
Montreal, and Whit*, Patbon & Cos.
have sold an invoice of Indian Orch
ard brown cottons for Manchester.”
The Cincinnati Commercial takes a
view of the “whole hog,” and thus des
cants : “Packers are moving with cau
tion. and buying sparingly to supply
immediate wants, as the product of the
last season was sold at a loss, and
present current rates do not pay the
cost of production. Prices of hogs
must decline materially before the
trade will take the products for invest
ment to hold for spring and summer
sales. Corn Is abundant, and the indi
cations are that we shall have a large
supply of hogs later in the season.”
Passing these indications of a hap
pier era in review, the Nashville Ameri
can thinks that “on the whole, the
trade outlook, while not up to the
mark of flush times, is not so dull as
to cause special uneasiness, while there
is a reasonable basis for hope to look
forward to the ‘good time coming.’ ”
We reproduce these cheerful words
of our contemporaries as pleasant au
guries for the future and as companion
pieces to our own views of a recent
date.
Gordon. —The Washington Chronicle
has this political note:
Senator Gordon thinks the currensy
question defeated the Democracy, and is
satisfied tha party will make a serious mis
take If it takes that Issue Into the National
canvass. Mr. Gordon has evidently seen a
light sinoe he called Gael Scmum’s hard
money arguments “oraeular bombast,”
and declared that the enly hope for the
oountry was to be found In the adoption of
the 8 :S6 bond scheme.
Well, Gordon may have “pluggsd the
melon too soon,” but he has not re
turned to the right track too late, we
hope.
Reiterated.— The Washington Chron
icle BtLja it is not true that “ten mur
ders are committed in any State, East
or West, where one is perpetrated in
Georgia.” We made that assertion
and stick to it, adding that nameless
outrages, East and West, frequently
accompany multitudinous murders in
the States beyond us. Our sources of
information are the Eastern and West
ern journals. Are they chartered
Hare?
Home Again.— The return home of
Mrs. King and her daughter, Miss
Louise, from an extended European
tour, is a most welcome event to their
ninny friends.
The Devil.— We give, this morning,
Mr. M. D. Conway’s opinion of the
Devil. We shall, presently, give an
orthordox Minister’s opinion, both of
M. D. Conway and the Old Boy.
THE KITCHEN BORGIA.
Why it is that Meals of an Average
Quality Are the Rarity They Are.
Schiller, in his poem of “The Real
and the Ideal,” very properly says:
The space between the Ideal of man’s soul
And man’s achievement, who hath ever
passed?
An ocean lies between us and that goal
Where anchor ne’er was cast.
This is true of woman as well as of
man, of American women especially,
and concerning them particularly in
the detail of cookery. Why it is that
In the United States a meal of average
quality is absolutely unattainable in a
private family, who can say? Of oourse,
in that complement of the scavanger’s
cart, the boarding house, or in man
sions where the dwellers commit their
stomachs to the hollow of the hand of
the Hibernian cook, we do not look for
the delicacies—not even for the de
cencies of the table; but there are
at least two or three millions of
families in the country where the
wife or the mother, proud of her prac
tical education in household affairs, is
housekeeper or cook. Of these it
would be too much to expect that they
should adopt the economy of the nation
whose pot-au-feu, rather than whose
eagle, should be its national symbol, or
display that exquisite taste which more
than atones for paucity of resource.
We have come to consider the ragout
or salmi in the same category with
hash—American hash at that; and as
for soups and broths, they require too
much care in preparing and too much
time in eating to suit our business-like
taste. Nevertheless we Americans have
at least passable mutton and fair beef;
our poultry is better than the aver
age ; in vegetables and fruits we sur
pass it infinitely. God, indeed, has
sent us dinners ; how comes it that we
have no cooks save such as are of in
fernal origin ?
It cannot be because of ignorance.
Let any one who will consult the house
hold columns of any of our hundred
and fifty odd agricultural papers, and
he will find there ample evidence that,
at least theoretically, the farmer’s wife
and daughter are acquainted with the
culinary art. Aggravatingly so, wo
might say, because on their own show
ing they are sinning against light.
On paper these women will de
vise Aplclan banquets. They will
show you how to prepare
rolls to whose lightness saleratus
did not contribute, or Indian breads of
alluring pale-golden hue that do not
eat like perspiring putty adulterated
with sawdust. They will concoct soups
that would raise an appetite beneath
the ribs of dyspepsia, and even boil a
potato—for Boyer was right when he
made the boiling of potatoes and toast
ing of bread crucial tests of culinary
proficiency till the tuber, bursting with
a foamy efflorescence through its selfish
and reluctant skin, in the words of
Moore, himself an Irish poet,
“Turns to thy lip and half blushes
That thon should’st delay to bite.”
As to meats, be the same fish, flesh
or fowl, what is there that they cannot
boil, bake, roast, broil, stew, or—alas !
-—fry? While In the matter of tempt
ing dulcet creams, or preparing lucent
syrups tinct with cinnamon, or jellies
tremulous and translucent, they rise
into the very poetry of cooking. Nay,
has not one artist of the preserving
kettle, whose soul was in her art as
thoroughly as ever was that of Mr.
Vincent Crummies’ conscientious tra
gedian—who, when he had to play
Othello, blacked himself all over—be
gun her recipe for the making of cherry
preserves by insisting that the fruit
shall be culled and stoned, of a cool
afternoon, in the shade of a tree, by a
maiden of snowy fingers, clad in afresh
and becoming print dress.
Alas, that the distance of the “house
hold column” should lend so full and
false enchantment to the view of the
household tables over which these
poets of the pots and pans preside!
For let one but enter the home of the
average American farmer, where the
cook is the heiress to all the ages of
domestic economy from the landing of
the Mayflower, and what shall we find !
For drinks, turbid coffee that has been
mercilessly boiled, or tea on whose
rank tide an ax may swim. For vege
tables, potatoes clammy with a sense
of their own indigestibility, the
odorless cabbage or the tasteless
squash or turnip, three parts water
and one part fibre. For meats,
steak In the preparation of which the
atrocity of lard has been superadded to
the enormity of the frying-pan, or the
Inevitable mutton, which Is never quite
cooked enough or quite warm enough;
or the adamantine corn beef, so dear
and destructive to the American stom
ach, which is covered with salty crys
tals. But, Brlnvllliers and Borgia, the
dessert! What could not the misdi
rected ingenuity achieve, if confined to
legitimate channels, which here devises
the accursed pie which is burned on
the top, raw at the bottom and boiled
in the middle, its contents being bass
wood chips with a tang of apple or
bookbinder’s scraps preserved In brown
sugar ? And as for the leathery
peaches, the flaccid pickles and the
soggy cake, their adequate realization
must be left for the choked tongue of
nightmare to attempt to tell.
Oh, woman 1 heaven’s last, best gift
to the kitchen, must you and your
daughters still continue to marshal
families the salaeratus way to dyspep
sia? Can the clear, glowing bed of
ooals, whereon St. Lawrence himself
would have deemed it a luxury to be
broiled, better befit the lordly steak,
unmacerated with the brutal pestle,
uncontaminated with factory lard,
and will sooner woo it to turn
to pale pink, delicate amber and
tender brown (with a sensitive eleva
tion at the comers, forming a central
chalice for the reception preservation
of its own juices) than the frying-pan,
accursed of gsds and abhorred of men?
Know you not that by thinly slicing
potatoes—not left over from yester
day’s noonday dinner—lnto cold water,
wiping the same dry In a towel, dust
ing them with pepper and salt, frying
them In boiling lard, and soon as
they put on the rich golden brown
hue of a Cuban belle, removing and
draining them, you can compass that
which at Saratoga has brought
fame and fortune to the artistic
restaurateur? Is it not in you to
pour boiling water on your coffee and
to set the pot over a shovel of embers
in the hearth box, where It will just
simmer and not boll ? Can your finer
female sense not apprehend the dif
ference between fanning a smokeless
fire with a generous slice of bread till
the surface of the latter turns delicately
golden, then brushing the same with
fresh butter, and burning bread on the
top of a dirty stove, then swabbing it
in melted, ranced oleomargame? Alas I
If experience oan be relied on, we fear
not. Priscilla is joined to her saleratus
and frying pan; let her alone.
Mr. Cod and Miss Fish were married
at Sterling, Conn., the other day. Will
he take his wife’s name?

OBITUARY.
COL. JAMES B. HAItT.
The announcement of the death of Col.
James B. Hakt, which occurred at the
family residence, at Union Point, Ga., Tues
day night, the 2d lust., caused the deepest
gloom and sent sorrow to the hearts of our
entire community and throughout the
country. In his death we loose one of our
best and most worthy citizens, the Presby
terian Church, of which he was an elder
and a leading member, an humble Chris
tian, the Sabbath school an earnest friend
and able teacher, the Good Templars one
of its most faithful and exemplary mem
bers, the community an able adviser and a
wise counselor, and the county an intelli
gent and high toned gentleman His place
in society can hardly be tilled; for when
anything was to be done for the pleasure,
comfort or good of his place or neighbor
hood he was the first to speak, the first to
put his shoulder to the wheel and .the first
to contribute of his means. Ho was the
friend of the needy and distressed, was
ready to cheer the desponding and cast
down, to encourage the struggling aid
hopeful, and to gently point the erring to a
better and more useful life. His words
seemed to be always fitly spoken, and were
always on the side of peace and good order.
As husband, father, friend and neighbor he
was all that these relations could ask. Our
immediate community has lost its best and
firmest friend.
His funeral was largely attended by his
fellow-citizens from different parts of the
county, all sharing in the general sorrow
with bowoU hoods manifesting their re
spect for their tried friend. The services
were conducted by the Bov. Mr. Newton,
the pastor of the church, and were pro
foundly impressive. After which the Good
Templars performed the last sad rites of
their Order over the grave of r. worthy and
much beloved brother.
The colored people, whose friend he was,
and who by his plain, but earnest counsels,
had won their confidence and affection, at
tending In large numbers *r; l manifested
their appreciation of the services he had
rendered them by participating in his
burial and dropping the tear of sorrow at
his grave. All business was suspended
and the doors of stores and shops closed
during the service.
Col. Hart has been prominent in busi
ness circles for over a third of a century.
He was for a long time a leading merchant
in Augusta, and subsequently at Union
Point. He was also closely identified witl
the agricultural interests of tin* State, be
ing prominent in the work of general im
provements. He leaves a large number of
friends throughout the State. M.
