AUGUSTA. Q-A..S
Wa
G-idav Morning, Novvember 19.1875.
Spain and tbe United States.
That Gen. Grant has taken a stand
for the third term on a home policy of
“hard money and free schools” is only
too evident. That this is a most cap
tivating scheme to many thousands of
people in all sections of the country
cannot be denied. His foreign policy
also displays remarkable craft and
the possession of a diplomacy at once
bold and subtile. The note of Minis
ter Cushing to the Spanish Govern
ment relative to the treaty of 1795,
and an explicit compliance with it,
foreshadows what is working in the
Executive mind. The gist of that
treaty is said to dwell in Article eleven,
which reads as follows:
The citizens and subjects of each party
shall have power to dispose of thoir per
sonal goods within the jurisdiction of tho
< ither bv testament, donation or •thcrwxso,
and their representatives, being subjects or
ci' Izens of the other party, shall succeed to
their said personal goods, whether by test
ament or al> mteslato, and they may take
possession thereof, either by themselves or
others acting for them and dispose of the
came at their will, paying such dues only
as the inhabitants of the oountry wherein
the goods are shall be subject to pay in
like cases. And. in case of the absence of
the representative, such care shall be taken
of the goods as of a native In like case un
til the lawful owner may take measures for
' receiving thorn ; and if Questions shall arise
among several claimants to which of them
the said goods belong, the samo shall be
decided dually by the laws and judges of
the land wherein the said goods are; and,
where, on the death of any person holding
real estate within the territories of the one
party, such real estate would, by the laws
of the land, descend on a citizen or subject
of the other, were he not disqualified by
being an alien, such subjects shall be allow
ed a reasonable time to sell the same, and
to withdraw the proceeds without molest
ation, and exempt from all rights of de
traction on the part of the Government of
the respective States.
It will not take a Philadelphia law
or to show that, under Article eleven,
the United States Administration may
make “ outrages upon Americans in
Cuba” a superb pretext for forcing
Spain into a fight for the possession of
her once “ ever-faithful,” but now most
rebellious island.
That the publication of tho Ameri
can note has stirred Spanish pride to
its very foundations may be seen by re
cent cable telegrams, notably the letter
of Don Carlos to King Alfonso and
the growl of the Spanish press.
In this connection, we call the read
er’s attention to a most forcible article
from the London Times, elsewhere pub
lished, which may well create a sensa
tion here and in Europe.
The only hesitation President Grant
would have in this matter is a reason
able doubt as to tho final attitude of
Great Britain. This point- is cleverly
conveyed by the New York Herald,
which thus speaks, and with unusual
vehemence: “What renders the present
aspect of the affair so serious is the
n w ascertained fact that the public
op: ion of Europe, and especially of
Great Britain, will support Spain and
justify hor resistance to the demands
of our Government. The British island
of Jamaica is nearer to Cuba than the
southernmost point of Florida. Great
Britain owns Jamaica, tho whole of the
Bahama group, the Bermuda Islands,
the greater part of the Windward
Islands, and the Belize, or British
Honduras, in Central America. The
two navigable channels which serve as
inlets and outlets of the Gulf run one
of them close to the eastern and the
other close to tho western extremity of
Cuba; and if this island were in pos
session of a strong Power hostile to
England, her intercourse with her own
possessions in the West Indies and
her commerce with Mexico, which
is larger than that of any other
nation, m,ight be Interrupted and
closed. England takes a more active
and watcijful interest in all matters
relating tojthe distribution of power in
the West Bodies than any other nation,
and she will never voluntarily consent
to changed which should endanger her
intercourse with her own possessions
or her commerce with Mexico. If events
should sliqw that the President means
business and not buncombe, it Is
certain that the British Government
will not be a passive spectator. In view
of its interests and jealousies, it was an
mistake on the part of
Secretary | Fish to say, as he didin a
dispatch tb Mr. Cushing last year, that
‘the United States would prefer to see
all that, remains of colonial America
pass fron that condition to the condi
tion of absolute independence of Eu
rope.’ it does not tend to facilitate
the peaceable settlement at the Cuban
question for our Government to warn
Great Britain of our wish to dispossess
and ous'w her from her colonies on tho
Western Continent and its islands
When her own cis-atlantic possessions
are thus threatened in a published
diplomatic document her vigilance wili
*be quickened against every movement
of our government affecting the colo
nies of any European power on this
continent and its outlying islands.”
In addition to this the Herald thinks
that the British policy Is to make
Grant’s Cuban scheme odious in Eu
rope. But It does not take into account
that such an odium might tremendous
ly increase the popularity of the
President in all sections of his own
country, just as Don Carlos and King
Alfonso may compose their differences
temporarily when the contingency ar
rives.
The idea of the London Times is to
make the Executive and the American
people believe that though Spain is
weak, she has a giant for a friend. If
that menace serves its purpose, well
and good. But suppose Grant does
not get scared at this threat and pushes
tho issue even with Great Britain?
The question then resolves itself into a
calculation of chances. England has
Ireland on her hands. Russia only
waite a favorable moment, such as this
would be, to realize the dream of Cathe
rine and, now that the Turk is in his
extremity, to push her mighty hordes
across the Balkan on the road to By
zantium, and possibly across the nar
row strip of territory that lies between
her Eastern domain and the British
outposts of Hindostan.
Doubtless Grant has considered all
of these matters, and if it indeed be his
purpose to urge a move on Cuba
neither Spain nor Great Britain will
bar the way to a consummation of his
plans.
The main thing, howevor, that fright
ens the Hei'ald and its faction is the
Government bonds. England holds a
vast amount of these securities and
the howl that must arise if they come
tumbling back upon this country pell
mell would be “like the neighing of all
Tattersalls.”
A war with Spain for Cuba, even with
Great Britain thrown in, may be, and
possibly is, a mad scheme. But It has
some prodigious elements of popular
ity and to a desperate party possesses
merits of uncommon seductiveness. For
a while, money would flow abundantly,
manufactories now idle would be put in
motion, tramps, now a nuisance, untili
zed, and a seeming prosperity Inaugura
ted. That the results, iu any event, would
be beneficial to this country may well
be doubted. But, if the President-
General really wishes to precipitate the
Union into war with the foreigner, let
him go ahead. The South is able to
stand it, if he and his favorite sections
can.
Meanwhile, wo may as well possess
our souls In patience, await develop
ments, and let time and chance deter
mine.
Senator Bayard and the South.
We publish, on our first page, this
morning, a very readable account of
Senator Bayard’s views of the South
and general politics. If the voice of
this section of the country wore potent
enough to command a nomination, or
if it were good Judgment for us to take
a position so prominent in such a
momentous matter, Thos. F. Bayard
would be the nominee of the Demo
cratic party for the next Presidency of
the United States. But It unfortunately
happens that our friendship, too
earnestly shown, would be perhaps
fatal to any candidate, especially to
such a high-minded man of principle
and true diplomatist as the noble Dela
ware Senator. If he should be nomi
nated against the Republican standard
bearer, the South would support him
with a unanimity unparalleled in the
political history of the country; but any
eagerness on this line, at this juncture,
might impair instead of strengthening
his chances.
Mr. Bayard sees, as sagacious men
everywhere have perceived, that, in
spite of anti-third term resolutions and
the grimaces made by certain Republi
can editors, unless some startling
changes occur, the man who shall
lead the Radical host, in 1876, is
Ulysses S. Grant. We think Mr.
Bayard miscalculates Grant’s real abil
ity aud resources, material and men
tal, and it is always a capital error
to undervalue an opponent, especially
such a one as this extraordinary man.
So far as Senator Bayard’s views of
the prosperity of the South are con
cerned, we agree with the Richmond
Dispatch that they take the hue of the
rose rather too much. But this is an
error, if an error at all, easily over
looked, tho more so as It is the reflec
tion of a generous soul.
i—
Tempting. —The Vicksburg Herald
invites Northern white men to settle in
Mississippi, and offers the following In
ducements ; “Many, many people are
out of employment at the North, while
here the demand for labor cannot be
supplied. Common laborers in our
fields, and deck hands on our steamers,
get from fifty to sixty dollars a month,
and a sufficient number cannot be had
at those prices, while iu the North and
East laborers cannot get work enough
to support themselves and families. It
does seem that such a condition of
affairs would soon regulate itself by
the law of supply and demand, and it
will, now that carpet-bag and negro
rule has been removed. Our object is
to inform white people of all countries
that Mississippi is free, and ready to
receive with open arms all honest peo
ple who wish to cast their lots with us,
and tho more Yankees there are who
accept our cordial, earnest Invitation,
the better will we be pleased.”
Snappish. —The Cincinnati Gazette
declares, with much warmth, that “if
there are Republicans who have a third
term idea, they are not the friends of
Grant or to the party to which they
profess to belong. The object of Dem
ocrats in agitating it is plain enough,
but they can not in this way reconcile
the differences in their own ranks, or
divert the attention of Republicans
from the Important task or nominating
a candidate acceptable to the oountry
generally, and who can be elected.”
Deacon Smith will fall into the Grant
line, before long. Like a coy maiden,
he is hard to persuade, but he will be
singing third term music before many
days.
A Big Scheme.— Tho building of a
railroad from some point in Liberia to
the interior of Africa Is being*mooted.
The New York Express thinks well of
the project, and adds : “We have just
sent out one thousand six hundred
bales of Georgia cotton to Africa.—
When it is there it will be taken Into
the interior upon the backs of the na
tives, and a fact like this suggests
a score of other facts. A railroad is
building up the Nile, and one has
commenced in Natil, South Africa, to
the gold and diamond fields of the in
terior. If to the regions of gold, why
not to the regions filled with people,
and all the products capable of endless
variety and riches ?”
Paper Mills.—Somebody has been
poking into statistics and discovers
that there are now in the United States
six hundred and sixty-flve paper mills,
employing sixteen thousand and fifty
nine hands, with a capital of $35,365,-
014. paying *57,148,513 as* wages, em
ploying $30,029,063 worth of materials,
and turning out a product valued at
$*48,675,934. Printing paper is over
one-third of this immense aggregate.
’
Gould. —The New York Herald hints
that Mr. Jay Gould is near the end of
bis rope and is going the way of his
predecessors. He is struggling, it says,
“with embarrassments which must con
stantly increase, and merely to push
which away temporarily requires all
his unscrupulous adroitness. ”
Resignation of State Senator Wofford,
Hon. J. W. Wofford has resigned
his seat as a member of the Georgia
State Senate. His law business inter
feres with his Legislative duty and his
Legislative duty with his law business.
In addition to this, M. Wosford assigns
other reasons which show him to be a
man of sense and honor. We quote
from the body of his letter to the
people of the Forty-second Senatorial
District, as follows:
Tho approaching session of the Legisla
ture is wholly unimportant so far as I
know or believe. Several years experience
in that body has convinced me that there is
no- public demand for animal sessions of
the Legislature, and that yearly sessions
of the General Assembly is a yearly waste
of public money. In a time of peace and
quiet, when there is nothing but “hard
times” to break the monotony of curient
events, an annual expense of SIOO,OOO for
legislation is too much to pay for it.
For a year or so after Gov. Bullock ab
sconded, a good deal of law making and in
vestigation was necessary in order to re
adjust the disjointed affairs of the State
government. But all that has been done,
and for tho future a session every two
years is quite as often as there will bo any
call for legislation.
A little examination of the class of work,
with which the last few sessions have been
engaged, wili satisfy any one I am right in
this.
I do hope to see a move made at the next
session to change the constitution in con
formity to the suggestion here made.
I deemed it no common honor to be elect
ed by three counties in which there are
about eight thousand voters, without op
position, and without a vote having been
cast against me. so far as I know; and I say
but truth when I state, it is not without re
gret that I relinquish the position thus
assigned me. It’s a constituency of which
any man might be proud. None, but will
feel honored to represent you. God grant
you prosperity. John W. Wofford.
We agree with Mr. Wofford that
annual sessions of the Legislature are
not only useless and expensive, but
positively mischievous. The people of
Georgia, as a general thing, regret to
see their Legislature assemble and re
joice when it adjourns. The fewer
sessions we can constitutionally get
the better; but if the next session shall
signalize itself by giving relief in this
matter, the members thereof may con
gratulate themselves that they have
not altogether lived or labored in vain.
The Governor has accepted Mr.
Wofford’s resignation and ordered an
election to fill the vacancy on the 15th
of December next.
Third Term. —The New York Tribune
says that “it is tho unanimous verdict
of the Democratic press that President
Grant will be nominated for a third
term.” Tho Boston Journal replies:
“They will have to nominate him then.”
But the Evening Post retorts: “We
are not sure of that. As soon as the
fife and drum begin to play these
Boston people fall into line.”
Moody.— The Roman Catholic Tablet
has a good word for Mr. Moody, as
follows: “This work of Mr. Moody is
not sin. It cannot be sin to invite men
to love and serve Jesus’Christ. It is
irregular, unauthorized, but it may be
bringing multitudes to a happier frame
of mind in which the church may find
them better prepared to receive hor
sublime faith.”
South Carolina.— Tho Abbeville Me
dium thinks “tho recent elections in
Charleston point out the only way to
the complete redemption of tho State.”
Wo have reason to believe that a large
number of Charlestonians and thous
ands of Carolinians outside of Charles
ton aro of a totally different opinion.
A fashion magazine says some of tho new
pockets aro suspomlod from the waist with
a large silk cord ala Marguerite,.
We hope the gentlemen’s fashions
will not be ala Faust.
Voteless.— The New Orleans Times
says that twenty-four thousand Bosto
nians are disfranchised, because they
won’t pay their taxes. Where is the
spirit of ’76, and old Faueuil Hall ?
Piano. —The inventor of the piano
was named Cristafori. His centenary
is to bo celebrated at Florence next
May,
Going Down. —The New York Tribnne
says up-town property in New York
will not sell for fifty per cent, of its
original cost.
FOX’S MISFORTUNE.
The Famous Pantomimist Losing His
Mind—His Career Closed TbSoften
ing of the Brain.
[New York Times, Nov. 15th.]
In the acting of George L. Fox, who
has for so many years been a New York
favorite, there has'*' been, for a consid
erable timo past, a change, which is
apparent to those who have only seen
him a few’ times, while to his friends
and to those who have been accustom
ed to see him frequently, his stage
performances are mournful, instead of
mirthful. It is a sad fact that ho has
entirely lost his wonderful pantomime
ability which characterized him for
years, and that his career has come to
a most molancholy end. A paragraph
appeared some weeks ago, which went
the rounds of the press, that Mr. Fox
had been stricken with paralysis of the
face. The disease was attributed to
the cosmetics and ointments which
he has used during hi3 professional
career for the purpose of keep
ing the muscles and skin of the face
mobile. In these preparations, bis
muth was said to be a prominent In
gredient, and to this drug was attri
buted the mischief. This story,
although contradicted, was true,
although the affection o l the optic nerve
which accompanies or is part of the
paralysis was, It is said, produced by
an entirely different cause. The state
ment is made by one of Mr. Fox’s most
intimate friends fhat, while he was
playing in a Western city some months
ago, he met with a curious accident.
In the production of what is called the
Freedman’s Bureau, he received a vio
lent blow On the nose. In the scone a
number of negro boys jump from the
inside of a bureau near which the
clown stands. Mr. Fox was standing
rather nearer the bureau than usual,,
and the last boy who jumped out was
a substitute, and larger than the one
whom Fox expected to see. The boy
in| jumping struck Mr. Fox’s nose,
fairly driving it in so as to strain the
optic nerve. The blow felled him to
the ground, and he has not yet recov
ered from its effect.
Within a month there have appeared
symptoms which have developed into
a marked case of softening of the brain,
and there is no doubt that the fine
mind of the actor is a wreck.
MiHW
Disgusted with Life.
[Danbury Hews.]
Grumbled a Danbury man, stumbling
about in his wood house the other
night: “Axe gone, saw gone, buck
broken and Chandler in the Cabinet—
what’s the use trying to live, any way?’
