AUGUSTA. QA.:
Saturday Morning, November 13,1875.
The Secret of Deliverance.
Mississippi owes her deliverance from
carpet-bag and Ethiopian rule princi
pally to organization, good leadership,
a powerful press properly directed, and
the energy and zeal of roused masses
of men. W e have no doubt also that
the glorious women of the land did
wonders, as they did in Georgia, when
Bcllook. had sway. We learn from one
of our exchanges that “the enthusiasm
of the white people during the' canvass
was worthy of the great end which
they accomplished. Politics has been
the all-absorbing thought in the minds
of this people for many weeks. A
change of affairs was necessary, or
financial ruin was inevitable. They
felt that the time was at hand for them
to strike successfully, and they gather
ed every energy for the blow. Men ne
glected private business to attend their
club meetings, and were ready to make
any personal sacrifice for the good of
the State. The work went bravely on,
and did note flag uuttl the officers of
the election formally announced tho
polls closed. The people were indeed
aroused, and determined to put an end
to carpet-bag and negro rule, and every
nerve was strained to the accomplish
ment of that end. The sick, the blind,
the aged and infirm, every available
voter, was brought to the polls. Car
riages were provided for those unable
to walk.”
Now, let some man of men come to
the front in South Carolina and become
a Caknot for that commonwealth—the
“organizer of victory.” Let the Constitu
tional party gather in clans, call a con
vention, if necessary, fix upon the
policy that has conquered in Missis
sippi and Georgia, unite all good ele
ments for the salvation of the State,
and make use of the proper appliances
and auxiliaries for creating a popular
furore which shall sweep Radicalism
away like a whirlwind. The people of
South Carolina must bo willing to make
great sacrifices of time, money and
everything else necessary to win the
grand stake of repossession of their no
ble commonwealth. We do believe that
thousands of true men only await the
right leader, the right policy and tho
right encouragement to not only emu
late Mississippi, but surpass her. If
this be a mistake, unhappy indeed is
tho South Carolina of the present day
and abysmal her paralyzation. But we
scout this idea. Perish the thought
that she is wedded to her thralldom.
Rather do we believe that all she needs
is some powerful hand to break her
chain, dissolve her sleopy enchant
ment, and bid her rise again to her old
stature of Impassioned sublimity, not
with the sword or bayonet, but the bal
lot: not on the bloody field of Mars but
in the peaceful forum of reason and in
the exercise of the will of freemen. The
ball once fairly and properly started,
leaders will be developed, enthusiasm
will kindle her torch on a thousand
hills, and the valleys will respond to
the mountains. It the papers of South
Carolina do not rise to an equality with
the tremendous argument of self-pre
servation and deliverance, the people
should put them aside and make a
rally without them. In case they did
so, we predict that lagging would not
long be the order of the day on any
side. Cannot the tocsin be sounded at
Greenville or Anderson? Never in the
history of the Palmetto State has there
been a better opportunity for some
highly-gifted man, now iu obscurity,
to make an immortal name. The indi
vidual who shall rescue South Caro
lina from her present bondage will be
more famous than any of her heroes
who died for the cause of liberty in the
bloody Confederate drama.
The Resumption Humbug.
The New York Tribune whines in
this fashion:
We aro not one step nearer specie than
boforo it passed. We are making no sort
of preparation for resumption; and when
the date assigned for that event comes,
unless wo speedily rouse ourselves, we
shall not resume.
To which the Cincinnati Gazette, an
extreme Republican and hard money
organ, especially when Allen was In
the field, retorts:
“Just so. And because we said so,
several brilliant journals, West and
East, charged us with abandoning the
results won in the Ohio election and
the cause of hard money. But what
we shall do if “wo speedily rouse our
selves,” we know not. A rouse will not
make practicable the specie converti
bility of 760 millions of paper money
on demand. There is but one way
P ssibl© to specie payments, and that
is by previous contraction of tho paper
money till It shall appreciate to par
with coin, and hold our gold and silver
in the country. We have not yet
found the public journal or public man
that dares pronounce for that measure.
All are paltering with some juggle to
make specie play the little joker, and
fly still higher the paper money kite.
Therefore we do not believe the re
sumption act will amount to anything
but a preparatory distrust and terror
in monetary affairs, to bo followed by
its repeal after it has wrought vast
evil to business.”
There never was a greater swindle
politically, a wilder scheme fanatical
ly, and a more desperate conspiracy
commercially than the resumption act.
It has smitten trade with palsy, made
chaos everywhere, and if not repealed,
as we believe it will be, by the next
Congress, will bankrupt the Govern
ment as well as the people. And yet
some visionaries talk of “immediate
resumption!” “Yo gods, and little
Ashes I”
Backward Steps. —The Chicago Tri
bune makes a point thus :
Tho New York Democrats nominated an
old Republican for Secretary of State and
elected him by 12,000 to 17,000 majority.—
Last year their leading candidate had up
wards of 50,000 majority. Next year, at
this rate of progress, their tickets will be
swamped under 25,000 Republican ma
jority:
Next time, they will nominate an old
Democrat and swamp the Republicans.
Sanitary Administration.
Last September, Dr. Harris invited
Archbishop Bailet to deliver an ad
dress before the Medical Association
on “Sanitary Reforms.” The learned
prelate, in lieu of a formal lecture,
wrote a letter of extraordinary force
and good sense, which was read by Dr.
Steiner, of Maryland, at the metting
of the Association in Baltimore. We
give this extract from the report sent
to the daily press:
The Archbishop says a proper system of
drainage has made towns in England and
.Scotland, which were decimated almost
every year by typhus, thoroughly healthy.
There are few things In which cause and
effect are more closely united than bad
drainage and typhus. With us the great
difficulty is in having the sound principles
which science has made known to us upon
these subjects carried out into practice.
This comes, as we all know, from our po
litical system, which, however beautiful in
ttioory, is nover more unfortunate in prac
tice, than when applied to municipal mat
ters. The plague spot on tho city of New
York is the system of tenement houseo,
covering often every inch of the lot upon
which they are built, badly lighted, badly
ventilated and badly arranged in every re
spect—except for the landlord’s purse. No
ono who hud not seen them would believe
that such places would bo allowed to exist
in a city calling itself Christian and civil
ized. I have attended cases of malignant
fover in rooms which had no windows to
them, and where tho only light and air
which reached them came through the
door, and out of which, as a necessary con
sequence, the patient had soon to go a
corpse, and, although some improvement
has been made since those times, yet I am
afraid that in the main things have been
allowed to continue much as they were,
chiefly because it would be “inconvenient”
to interfere with the gains of the owners
of these pest-houses. I most earnestly
wish your Association every success, and
trust that the able and public-6pirlted
gentlemen connected with it will never rest
until they have instilled sound principles
upon the subject into the whole body pol
itic.
We leave it to heaven to decide who
shall be responsible for such utter
wretchedness as is depicted in tho
above paragraph; but may heaven in
deed have mercy on the man who
thrives on the woes of tenement houses
in New York city ! If that man does
not need prayers and aids to salvation,
as well as God’s saving grace, we should
like to know who does ? Wealth ac
quired in that way must bring a curse
here, and, unless satisfaction be made
and repentance sought for, the male
diction will outlast the world and rival
eternity in duration.
Centennial AVhims—A Sepulchral En
terprise.
A writer in tho Philadelphia Press
seriously advocates the removal of the
relics of Washington and Lincoln to
Philadelphia for exhibition at the Cen
tennial. Hear this ghoul-minded spec
ulator :
What a groat pleasure and satisfaction
It would be to ' very one to behold the real,
genuine, honest faceof the Immortal Wash
ington. Every one in the United States
since their childhood days have wished for
such a great privilege, and I think it would
be tho greatest attraction the Centennial
Commissioners could offer, as hundreds
and thousands would go to tho Centennial
who would otherwise remain at home were
this attraction not offered. The remains
are perfect in preservation, and could bo
removed and returned without tho slight
est Injury. For my part I cannot think of
a greater honor that could be bestowed
upon the memory of Washington than to
have his body with us In our celebration
of the Centennial. I know his spirit will be
there, providing such things are per.
mitted from above. And there Is nothing
mercenary or sacrilegious iu having his
body with us, beautiful as he la in death.
A suitable building could bo erected for the
purpose, and, in order to prevent tho same
parties from entering it too often, a con
tribution could be taken from each one who
enters for the purpose of completing the
Washington monument; and I venture to
say double the amount necessary would be
contributed, and Washington could then
pay for his own monument, as tho people
of tho United States appear to be too poor
to do it for him. It was at the tomb of
Lincoln, which I visited recently, that I
thought of all this, and I think it would be
a good idea to place Lincoln’s body by the
side of Washington at the Centennial, and
then tho evory one could behold the two
greatest benefactors of the United States.
It is just such schemes that bring
the Centennial into contempt. All right
thinking Christian people must abomi
nate this cold-blooded speculator; and
since he has no pious care for either
Washington or Lincoln—God forgive
us for the juxtaposition—let him dig
up Jim Fisk, as the representative
American of his class, and show him
off In a glass case. Betweon Gen. Haw
ley and the Philadelphia Press resur
rectionist, tho Centennial business is
growing into disrepute. To us this is
a matter of regret, for it had originally
the elements of veneration and respect.
The Snubbed Ministebs.— The Courier-
Journal discloses why the Ministers of
Honduras, Paraguay and Costa Rica
were left out in the cold during the
Lord Mayor of London’s banquet. It
says : “All jof these countries have im
posed upon British capitalists, and ob
tained money under false pretenses.
The case of Honduras Is the worst,
Don Carlos Guitterez, the British
Minister, and a man named Lefevre
having borrowed the sum of $17,000,-
000 from London bankers for the osten
sible purpose of building an inter
oceanic railway. Bonds .were Issued,
and, by adroit manipulation, swagger
and lying were forced up to a high
figure and sold. Lefevre pocketed
81,000,000 himself, Guitterez got a
large share of the swag and the trus
tees of the bondholders the balance of
the proceeds, and the "inter-oceanic
railway” scheme went to the dogs. The
Committee on Loans of the British
House of Commons exposed the swin
dle two months ago, but Guitterez has
continued to scintillate about London,
with his wealth, in the most brazen
manner. Ho probably doesn't mind the
slight received on Lord Mayor’s Day.
r !. a
JustSo.—The V icksburg Herald says:
“Our friends in Louisiana are rejoioed
at the result in this State; and well
they may bo, for it is positive proof to
them that they can redeem Louisiana
at the next election. They can do it if
they go about it right, without a shad
ow of doubt.” What Is here stated of
Louisiana may relatively be stated of
South Carolina. The people of that
State can redeem themselves, if they
“go right about it.”
The Road to Wealth.
The New York Evening Post has this
suggestive paragraph ;
Stephen Girard, the great Philadelphia
banker, was asked by a young man by what
rule he had acquired his fortune of many
millions of dollars. The reply was: “I
always bought when everybody wished to
sell—and sold when all wanted to buy,” If
this sagacious man was now on the stage
we would mako his power felt in buying
real estate, as everybody wishes to sell.
Before he had been in the market one week
everybody would buy. Foreign capital
will soon seek this investment, as, let it
touch on this island where it will, an in
come would be at once sure of five per cent,
or perhaps ten, if improved. The agent of
the Marquis of Westminister in London
told me that his lordship owned whole
streets of tho best dwellings in London that
did not average over two and a half per
cent, per annum, and that he would not
change an investment that paid this In
oome. Tho time must be near when such
men will put their surplus revenues into
New York property, and all each invest
ments will then bo out of tho market for
ever, as such men seldom or never sell real
estate.
The capitalist has undoubtedly an
excellent chance just now, in New York
especially, to increase his store. We
already hear of Vanderbilt investing
some of his surplus millions in real
estate. The tendency of Republican
misrule and financial management has
been to centralize the power of the gov
ernment and its wealth in the hands of
a few men who are already too abun
dantly supplied with authority and
cash. How the people thus robbed of
their liberties and their possessions can
consent to perpetuate such a monstrous
despotism is beyond all reasonable
comprehension. It seems that when
individuals and nations get into the
rut of folly it takes a revolution or
social earthquake to bring them to
their senses.
The Mississippi Election.
We have seen a table of majorities
from 53 out of 70 counties In the State
—6 go Republican and 47 Democratic,
giving a Democratic majority of 29,575,
and 4 Democratic Congressmen out of
6. The remaining 17 counties, of which
11 have probably gone Democratic, will
carry this majority to the neighbor
hood of 40,000. When It is considered
that the registration under the Recon
struction Acts showed a colored ma
jority of over 20,000, which has ever
since been increasing by immigration;
that the Republicans carried the State
in 1869-’72-’73, by majorities of 88,089,
34,725 and 21,404, tho magnificent pro
portions of this victory more fully ap
pear. It has not been due to Intimida
tion or threats which kept the negroes
at home or away from the polls, as full
returns from the few counties heard
from show larger total votes than ever
before, the Democratic candidates, as a
general thing, receiving more votes
than there are white voters.
The fact is, tho colored voter has
lost all confidence in the “40 acre and a
mule” theory; has found out his best
friends through bittsr experience, and
hereafter proposes to vote for his
neighbors, and not for tho interests of
interlopers and carpet-baggers.
Grant.— lt is reported that the Pres
ident has given two mortgages for
810,000 each to the Adams’ Express
Company. It would seem from this
statement that his Excellency, instead
of being worth a million or more of dol
lars, is really “ hard up.” When a man
with $50,000 per annum has to borrow
money, we begin to believe that the
financial stringency of the country Is
no joke at all. But It would be some
thing of a joke to outsiders If this
specie-payment Executive should final
ly be obliged to settle in gold what he
received in “ rags,” so-called.,
A Modern Prophet.— Governor Hen
dricks, of Indiana, Is credited with say
ing, on hearing from Ohio: “I am not
surprised; I told you that we should
be defeated. On a different platform
we should have succeeded. Had the
Democrats declared themselves in fa
vor of specie payment to be accom
plished gradually, and without con
tracting the currency at the present
outstanding, they would havo rolled up
a larger majority than they did in
eighteen hundred and seventy-four.”
Hotel Waiters.— the atten
tion of our hotel proprietors to the
fact that “one of tho Antwerp waiters
has hanging up in his room paintings
worth, at the least valuation, $150,000.
For one Holy Family he has been of
fered SIOO,OOO, and for another picture
$6,000, but monoy has no charm for
him. Ho shows his pictures with pleas
ure to visitors, but only after a formal
introduction.”
The Devil.—Mr. Conway, by his pan*
thelstlc leoture, has “raised the devil”
sure enough.

A Great Convenience.
The Automatic Signal Telegraph
is now in successful operation in Rich
mond, Ya. The instrument used is put
up in a neat box, and can be operated
by any person who can read. On the
front of the box are a number of silver
plates, labelled “Messenger,” “Carri
age,” “Express Wagon,” “Physician,”
“Police,” and “Fire 1” The box is con
nected by wire with the central office,
and when occasion calls, tho person in
the house has only to pull out a little
silver ring under the label whioh desig
nates the service required. All signals
from the signal instruments are in
stantaneously recorded at the central
station, from which station the deaired
service is immediately furnished day
or night. No battery is used in the
customer’s establishment. Tho instru
ments are small and noiseless, and are
so arranged that any person of ordinary
intelligence can give a prompt and defi
nite signal. Customers can thus call a
carriage, wagon or messenger, give a
prompt and accurate alarm of fire, or
call a policeman at any hour. The sig
nals can be varied in meaning or in
creased in number to suit the require
ments of such customer. The conven
ience of this system can be seen at a
glance. Tho name of the customer’s
family physician is registered at the
central office, and when called by sig
nal, he will be immediately noti
fied by messenger. If a physician is
urgently needed, the ring is pulled
twice. The messenger will then call
upon the customer’s family physician,
and, if he is not at hand, another phy
sician will be immediately summonod.
But perhaps the most surprising fea
ture of the arrangement is its cheap
ness. The cost to the customer is
about thirty dollars per annum for the
use of the instrument, a convenience
which can scarcely be approcidato.J
