ilijc Constitutionalist. 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?’ SPECIAL NOTICES.
