Slje CoßSfiWioHdiisi 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? SPECIAL NOTICES. SOCIAL LODGE NO 1, F. aiJaTm. THE REGULAR MONTHLY COMMUNI CATION of Social Lodge, No. 1, will be held at Masonic Hall.

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.
