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. Butler. Col. Butler, editor of the New York Arcadian, “a paper pub lished by gentlemen for gentlemen,” has been badly hurt, at New Orleans, In a drunken row. a Drinking men occasionally sober up, if only for the pleasure of getting drunk again. 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 ?
