Cl)c Constitutionalist
AUGUSTA. GA:
Tuesday Morning, November 16,1875
President Grant and His Future.
The New York Herald is running an
other sensation on the third term ques
tion. The editor thinks it is the duty
of the Executive to peremptorily with
draw his name from all suspicion of
another Presidential nomination, and
move heaven and earth for a Republi
can successor. The Herald, at this
time, appears to favor a Democratic
defeat in 1876. What it will do next
week in the way of expressing an opin
ion, no man can tell. Now, however,
the New York thunderer says it
“ should infinitely regret to see a scrub
race next year, our grand Centennial
year, with four candidates again in the
field. With a Republican split on the
third term, and a Democratic split on
the currency, the country would suffer
in honor, reputation, credit and politi
cal stability. Such a quadrangular
contest would not result in a civil war,
as it did in 1860, but it would pretty
certainly throw the election into the
House, as it did in 1821, and President
Grant ought to see that the Republi
can party has nothing to hope from an
election by the House. At least one or
the three highest candidates from
among whom the Constitution requires
the House to choose would be a Demo
crat, and the Democratic House would
certainly elect a Democratic President.
This would be the necessary conse
quence of Gen. Grant procuring his
own nomination, which would divide
both parties, prevent an election by
the people, and perhaps lead to the
election of the candidate of the Infla
tion Democrats by the House of Repre
sentatives.”
If a scrub race would eventuate in
the election of a Democratic President,
by tho House of Representatives, let
us, by all means, have such a contest,
rather than a Republican success. —
How the country would suffer in “hon
or, reputation and credit” by any such
contingency and result, even the Herald
does not make manifest, and it is
pretty certain that a vast majority of
the white voters in this country are
of just the opposite opinion.
It may be, though, that the Herald
really wishes Grant to “ step down and
out,” in order to make a Democratic
triumph secure, pretending that he has
no strength, when, in its secret soul, it
knows full well that the President-
General is the most formidable person
now in the field.
We are of opinion that Grant him
self laughs at all Mr. Bennett’s kind
suggestions, the more so as ho knows
full well that he has very effectually dis
posed of every rival in his own
party, and compelled the Republicans,
whether they like him or not, to ac
knowledge his growing power. Blaine
was dished in Maine. Conkling is a
mere pouter-pigeon. Wilson is on his
last legs. Bristow creates no enthusi
asm and has little real strength. Look
over the field and name any man who
actually stands in Grant’s way as the
successor of himself. It cannot be
done with any reasonable showing.
The other day we published an article
from the Spirit of the Times, which
grouped together Grant’s many and sig
nal advantages. In the light thus
thrown upon him, he looms up as tho
only gigantic figure in the Republican
host, and, despite the anti-third term
resolutions of many States, unless tho
future shall bring some startling sur
prises, not now looked for, the Sphinx
will either force himself or be forced
by circumstances of necessity upon the
Republican party as their standard
bearer in 1876.
If anybody imagines he will be easily
beaten, we think such a person reckons
without his host. We should be very
glad to see the Republicans nominate
some other candidate for the Presi
dency, but, from present appearances,
Ulysses S. Grant is.their only hope.
Insanity and Crime.
The sending of a bigamist in Con
necticut to an Insane Asylum has been
matched in Virginia, for a different
crime, and serious complications bid
fair to arise out of it. The late Treas
urer of Virginia, Col. Mayo, proved to
be a defaulter, and so did the Clerk of
the Board of Public Works, Col. Cole
man. Mayo was eventually pronounced
insane and sent to an Asylum. Pre
vious, however, to his commitment
there, he furnished the testimony that
convicted Coleman. Though Mayo has
been recently discharged a3 a sane
mac, the Superintendent of the Asylum
admits that the certificate he gave to
that eflect was an evasion of the truth.
Coleman’s friends and lawyers now
claim that Mayo’s evidence, being that
of a crazy man, was illegal and invalid,
and hence the culprit thus convicted
should be pardoned by the Governor.
The Petersburg Index thinks, what
ever be the issue of this case, it affords
a warning to officials and all others
who are tempted to do wrong. It says
“let them contemplate the two wrecks
and conclude that the path of duty is
the path of glory.” l 4 This, of course, is
the moral to be drawn for the average
rogue; but how many men and women
are, this day, disporting in May Fair on
the fruits of ill-gotten gains? How
many of the so-called respectable peo
ple in society tolerate and countenance
those who should have become infa
mous, while honesty has few friends
when poor, and virtue, hungry and out
lawed, owns neither a town lot for a
home nor a little earth that it can look
on as a grave.
Liberia. —It is now said that Great
Britain stirred up the Grebos to attack
the Liberian colonists, in retaliation for
some laws discriminating against Eng
lish trade. We dare say this is a cock
and-bull story, but there is little ques
tion that British abolitionists start
ed the New England fanatics in the
agitation of the slavery question in the
United States, the issue of which has
been deplorable to the Union, but a
good thing for the British. We gene
rally find that diplomacy in all coun
tries has little conscience when mate
rial profit is at stake.
More Bloody Sliirt —The Latest Buga
boo.
The Atlanta Herald says Senator
Gordon, on Saturday, received the fol
lowing anonymous letter:
Washington, November 11th, 1875.
I am a good Democrat, but poverty and
a starving family have compelled me to
solicit and accept a subordinate situation
from the Government, and to keep my
place, I have bee a obliged to pretend to be
the strongest of Radicals. I have just, ac
cidentally, come iuto possession of a secret
which it is my duty to unfold, and I do so
with fear and trembling. Certain fanatics
at the North have formed themselves into
secret societies, and intend to come on here
in great numbers on the Ist of December,
under pretence of celebrating the martyr
dom of ol l John Brown, who was executed
on the 2d of December, 1859, at Charleston,
Virginia. But their red object is to murder
every member of Congress who has been
elected by the shedding of negro blood,
and I think they include in this number
every member from the South who is a
Democrat. They do not call it a murder,
but an execution for crimes committed
where there Is no law. They say they in
tend to give the whites of the South a prac
tical illustration of the delights of terror
ism and intimidation. They are crazy fa
natics, led to believe, by their devilish
preachers, that they are acting in the cause
of religion and humanity.
Your own judgment will dictate what is
best to be done.
Thefurther assert, and justify them
selves by the assertion, that not one white
man of any influence in the South has ever
said one word in condemnation of the
numerous negro murders.
Men who write anonymous letters of
any kind are, almost without exception,
dirty scamps, unworthy of a moment’s
consideration. We believe the above
communication a sample of the whole
pestiferous brood. We would wager
something handsome that the writer is
either no Democrat at all or else one
out at the elbow and in want of a job,
though richly deserving of a fire in the
rear.
A few weeks ago, we received from
Washington a letter, dated at the
Ebbitt House there, conveying most
atrocious charges against a certain
Southern newspaper. We immediately
had the matter investigated at the
Federal capital, and the result proved
conclusively to our mind that the name
sent was fictitious and the whole
thing a cunningly devised trap. Proba
bly the literary tramp who expected to
lead us into a difficulty has turned his
attention to Senator Gordon. John
Brown’s soul may still be “marching
on,” for aught we know or care, but
that his deluded worshippers have any
intention of killing any Southern Con
gressman, we do not believe. These
Congressmen are not so easy to slaugh
ter, In the first place, and the fellow
who pretends to hoax them into such
a fear may escape the penitentiary, but
will hardly become Clerk of the House
or even a doorkeeper. Such Democrats
as he is are plentiful as blackberries in
June, especially in the Five Points of
New York.
Editorial Reform in Gotliam.
Deacon Richard Smith, editor of the
Cincinnati Gazette, is one of the most
pious men in the Northwest. But he har
bors a cruel feeling toward New York
brethren of the quill, and, in a very
grim fashion, has been pokmg fun at
them, over the shoulders of Moody and
Sankey. Had he been a second-class
hoaxer he would have pretended that
certain letters written to the Evangel
ists by Dana, Reid and Howard were
genuine. But being a humorist, pure and
simple, he concocts just such peniten
tial missions as the above named trio
might, could, would or should have
composed and sent to the great
preacher and the great singer. Here
they are:
Office of the New York Sun.
Dear Brother Moody : Your preaching,
and Brother Sankey’s sweet songs, have
aroused a conscience which I thought I
had forever suppressed, and lias e made me
to see the sinfulness of my life and occupa
i tion. I now realize how I have made jour
nalism a work of personal malignity, de
tr ction and calumny, and have sought to
destroy all faith in human nature. lam
resolved to abandon my wicked occupation,
and to labor for the little remnant of my
days to atone for the evil I have done.
Patiently yours, O. A. D.
The Talij Tower.
Dear Mr. Moody: I have brought the
“scholar into politics,” and have establish
ed “schools of journalism,” and I seemed
to flourish like the green bay tree. But I
now see how I havo destroyed the useful
ness of “the Tribune founded by Horace
Gieeley.” and how 1 have pretended to play
the reformer, who most needed reforma
tion. lam resolved to leave tho journal
which I have perverted from the principles
of its founder, and to repent of the evil I
have done. W. R.
The Star Office.
Rev. Mr. Moody: I had a pious training,
but New York journalism made me what 1
am. I am resolved to leave this wicked
business, and to try to live a reputable life.
I hope your 1 abors will carry the same con
viction to all the newspaper fraternity.
J. H.
The one thing needed to complete
this budget of journalistic letters is a
confession of sio on the part of the
good Deacon himself, written by White
law Reid, signed by Dana, and sworn
to as a genuine document by Joe
Howard.
Chandler.— The mighty Zachariah
has begun cutting off clerical heads in
his Department. The Baltimore Suii’s
correspondent says:
The Chief Clerk of the Patent Office, Jas.
S. Grinned, of Massachusetts, was remov
ed, togetherwith all theelerksimmediately
under him. The direct cause of tho removal
of Grinned has not been made public—he is
known, however, to have been a lifo-long
Democrat. He has been considered a strong
man, and has a large social acquaintance
among Republican politicians. Ho is said
to boa special friend of Senator Dawes,
from whose section he comes. The enemies
of Grinned sa y that he has grown wealthy
In office. The position is one of great im
portance. Nearly all the patent attorneys
in tho city united in a request that Grin
ned be retained. Nearly all the clerks who
were removed with Grinned are accused of
being secessionists. A great many remov
als will soon be made in the Pension Office.
The list has already been made. In most of
the cases in this office something very dif
ferent from politics is the cause of the re
movals.
The evidence upon which many of the
clerks are to be removed is of a very serious
nature, and would furnish ground for crim
inal charges against many who are to bo
deprived of their places. The criminality
consists in having conspired to defraud the
Government by pension frauds. In the In
dian service many changes will bo made.
It is expected that the Commissioner, tho
chief clerks, the principal clorks of the Fi
nance Office, and several Indian Agents will
be first remove!. The names of the suc
cessors of some of these persons have a'-
reidy been submitted to the Presideut.Tho
charges against some of the clerks in the
Indian Office are that they have been on
too intimate and profitable terms with con
tractors.
It would seem from this that, while
the President has really grown poor in
office, his underliugs have made them
selves very comfortable indeed.

Bruce. — The Vicksburg Herald says :
“ A good many shrewd politicians
around Washington have got the
‘ dead wood ’ on our Bruce, and intend
to make our Bruce toe their political
mark. They claim to have the identi
cal warrants our Bruce cashed when
our Radical Legislature elected him to
the Senate, and if our Bruce proves ob
streperous, they will shine his eyes
with one of the warrants, until Lis
ivories chatter, and his wool stands on
end like wire on the fretful curry-comb.
At the time our Bruce was unanimous
ly chosen by the Rads, it struck us
there was something that caused such
unanimous unanimity.” If South Car
olina should imitate Mississippi, what
a “shining of eyes” would be made
from “Honest” John Patterson down
to the lowest Ethiopian stratification !
Cox. —Anent the recent robbery of
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany by their Cashier, we learn that
“the discovery of Cox’s criminal prac
tices was a general surprise to every
one, from the President down. His
long service, his uprightness of life, his
quiet and respectful demeanor and
obliging disposition, had long since
earned him the confidence and esteem
of his superiors, and there was proba
bly no one in the entire office whose
character was thought to be more irre
proachable in every way.” There
are a good many more like him, who
will never be known until they are
found out. One of the beautiful re
sults of the war, North and South, is
the aptitude for theft on the part of
many persons who would be least sus
pected.
THE ROMAN WRESTLING MATCH.
A Five Hours’ Struggle—lllustration
of the Science of Wrestling.
Andre Christol and William Miller
wrestled on Monday at the Grand Op
era House, New York, after the fashion
called Greeo-Roman, for SSOO a side,
and the championship of the world.
The World gives the following particu
lars of the contest, which was witness
ed by an immense crowd of spectators,
composed of a better class than com
monly attend athletic exhibitions:
The referee called time at 8:30, and
both men advanced to the centre of the
stage and shook hands. Christol at
once made play for Miller’s right arm,
getting a fair hold, but found himself
unable to get a lock on the other arm.
Miller, after a few moments, locked
Christol’s left arm, and each worked to
get a fair body hold, but for a long
time their efforts were unsuccessful.
Miller then, by changing his tactics,
prevented the latter from getting a
hold of his left arm. Arm holds and
head holds succeeded each other in
rapid succession, but were broken as
fast as they were made. After a full 20
minutes’ endeavor to get a fair lock,
Christol suddenly made a feint of open
ing, raising both arms and allowing Mil
ler a chance for a square body hold.
Miller made the best of his opening,
and with a quick movement caught
Christol around the waist. Christol
dropped on all fours to avoid a throw,
and Miller falling on him, endeavored
to get his shoulder under him to force
him over on his back. Before he could
accomplish this, Christol slipped from
his grasp and gained his feet. Again
Christol gave an opening ; again Miller
got a body hold and threw him on his
side, but could get him no further.
After clinching and breaking away,
Miller got a side-hold, and with a twist
threw Christol on his left hip, but be
fore he could follow up bis play the
agile Frenchman was on his feet facing
his burly antagonist.
At times both men would stop, ap
parently utterly exhausted with the
struggle, and then, seemingly recover
ed with the brief respite, would again
seize each other and work hard for the
coign of vantage. After the contest
had lasted for over two hours, Christol
gave Miller a fair back throw, but fail
ed to force both shoulders down. Reg
nier, Christol’s judge, claimed a fair
fall lor Christol, but it was not allowed,
and the referee’s decision was fully
sustained by the audience. Again
Christol feinted to get an opening, his
feints gaining him as much hisses as
applause from the audience. Christol
fell at last on his hands and knees,
and Miller stood looking at him.
At length Christol caught Miller,
and with a quick turn he threw
Miller over his shoulder, giving him
apparently a fair fall, amid loud ap
plause. O’Niel, Miller’s, judge, made a
claim that the fall was not fair, and at
length the referee decided that it was
not a fair fall. Christol at length got a
hold on Miller and threw him on his
side, Christol falling heavily on him.
Miller struggled hard, but Christol
locking his arms pressed Miller and
gained the first fair full, Christol turn
ing a complete somerset and rolling
Miller over till both shoulders were on
the ground. The time of the round
was two hours and thirty-five minutes.
After a recess of some fifteen min
utes time was called. Chistol was the
first to make an opening, and getting
an arm-hold attempted to close, but
was foiled by Miller, who turned sud
denly, and, grasping Christol around
shoulder and waist, threw him, Christol
slipping out of hold like an eel.
Miller again got a fair body hold and
threw Christol, and, falling on him, en
deavored to turn him on his back, but
failed, Chiistol again slipping away.
Miller at length threw his arms around
Christol, lifting him off his feet. He
kept Christol at arm’s length, and final
ly threw him, and, falling on him,
worked him over on bis back until both
shoulders touched, and the second fall
was given Miller. Time, 13 minutes.
Time was called at llh. 55m. p. m.,
and the men came up smiling. Miller
again got an arm-lock and then a body
hold, but Christol broke both. Christol
then got a head hold, and after a strug
gle Miller broke from his close quar
ters, and grasping Christol under his
arms, he attempted to follow up his
former tactics, but the Frenchman was
not to be caught, and, exerting all his
strength, he broke from the lock. At
length Christol got a head lock and
attempted to give Miller a full throw,
but the professor, by sheer strength,
forced himself out of his an
tagonist’s hands, Christol falling on his
hands and knees to keep clear of Mil
ler. Miller seemed somewhat fatigued
by the efforts he had made, and when
at length he gave Christol a fair cross
buttock throw, he did not follow up his
advantage, and Christol got on his feet
before Miller could get at him. The
contest continued until 1:50 a. m., when
it being impossible for either man to
throw the other, the match was de
cided a draw. Such a lengthened con
test, with such a result, Is entirely with
out parallel.
Go through the records of the human
heart, study the history of the good
and great of all ages, scrutinize the
phenomena of society, ancient and
modern, examine those traits of charac
ter which seem to justify the belief
that man was created only a little
lower than the angels, and whore will
you find anything that is sweeter and
purer than a boy’s passion for jack
knives and pumpkin pie ?

The Great Events Of The Coming

NOman or family should be without a
newspaper. It is the most intelligent
and entertaining visitor to any household,
and is the best of ail educators. Besides
this admitted fact, there are now addi
tional reasons for subscribing to a good
newspaper. Perhaps no year of the last
half century furnished a greater combina
tion of important and thrilling events than
will the year approaching. The Presidential
contest, the Gubernatorial election, the
Centennial and other great events trans
pire.
As in the past, so in the future.
