€Tje CoiistitMfantilist 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. gr* ■ 11 ■" 1 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 SPECIAL NOTICES. Headquarters Ga. Comd. No. 1, K.
