’Wednesday Morning, Nov. 24, 1875.
A Remarkable Wanderer.
Hon. Carl Schurz, in 1848, had to
make good time out of Germany for
persistent endeavors to graft upon the
gnarled oak of German royalty the
eccentric buds of European Republi
canism. In 1875, this same gentleman
is found hob-nobbing with the very
men whose imperialism he sought to
destroy, and, strangest of all, after he
had run a most prosperous Republican
career in a foreign land. Senator
Schurz is the stormy petrel of politics,
an Arab of statemanship, a carpet
bagger of the sublimest description.
Very recently he has signified his in
tention of moving to New York, all
the way from Missouri, and as he
never drifts from one State to
another without an office-seeking mo
tive, the sentinels on the watch-tower,
signaling his advent, bid Roscoe Conk
lino look out for the Senatorial suc
cessorship, since Schorz means business
when he pitches his tent temporarily
in any commonwealth. He first fixed
his eagle eye on Wisconsin, at the close
of the war, and laid his pipes for a
Senatorship from the intensely Repub
lican Legislature of that State. Pretty
soon discovering that his chances were
bad, he decamped for Michigan, but,
according to the latest revelations,
Chandler and Ferry strangled his
aspirations in their very birth, and,
casting a lingering, longing look be
hind, he moved on to Missouri.
This time his calculations were
correct. Missouri was, in 1869, pre
'pared to. take just such a man
for Senator, and take him she did. At
this point, we quote from some racy
' correspondence of the Eastern Press,
“Schurz, only a negative power,
and strong fin criticising others, with
out any capacity of producing any
thing of a positive nature or shaping
legislation, lost ground every year, and
when his term.came to a close, he had
not an influential friend in the State,
and during the election of Senator in
Missouri last Winter his name was not
even mentioned. As regards politics,
Carl Schurz is as dead a man as if he
had never existed. But Schurz is true
to his old practice, and when he is
played out in one place he travels off
to another. The election in Ohio
brought him to the surface again, hav
ing been sent lor post haste from Ger
many, where he was pleasantly rusti
cating. He_ was urged by Republicans
in Cincinnati to make that city his
home, they promising that next Fall
they would send him to the lower
House of Congress. But Schupz de
clined, knowing well that among nearly
three hundred members of the House
he would cut a sorry figure.” Under
such circumstances, he adopts his
old tactics of. peddling his political
wares from State to State, and hopes,
by the aid nf Wall street, to become
the Senator from New 1 York. We do
not believe that he will succeed, despite
Wall street and all its works. The
Republicans of that State may admire
him at a distance, just as, at a dis
tance, they have employed his talents;
but when it comes to making him a
Senator, excluding their statesmen to
the manner born, ttaey will refuse to be
drilled, bought or persuaded. Besides,
the Legislature to be chosen next year
will, most likely, be Democratic, and
then Hon. Carl Schurz, finding his
Gotham residence unavailing, will emi
grate elsewhere—perhaps to South
Carolina.
A New Bonanza—An Attempt to “Bull”
Coffee.
The American Grocei' ceils public at
tention to the fact that the stocks of
coffee in the ports of the United States
are very heavy and excessive, and yet
speculators are busily engaged in keep
ing up the unreasonable prices which
have ruled since 1872. The chief
effort of the speculators is to get Con
gress to put a duty on tea and coffee
and that, in case of success, a real bo
nanza will be developed for a ring of
land sharks. The figures presented
by our enlightened contemporaiy are
these:
Visible stock o? Coffee in the United States
last week was 48,935 tors
To this we add the average im
ports of the months of Decem
ber, January, February and *
March for the last four years. .45,974 “
Making on the Ist April next. .92,959 “
From which we deduct the con
sumption of the above four
months at the monthly aver
age of the four previous year 5.38,496 “
!.caving a stock on Ist April 0f.54,463 tons
or nearly six months’ consumption of
the whole United States to .evade the
duty of the new tariff, which, if put at
3c. per pound, will amount to 83,659,-
913.60, or at sc. per pound to 86,099,-
856.00. This we call a pretty good
bonanza to take from the pockets of
tiie retailer and consumer, and place
iu the hands of the operators.
The Grocei' does not believe this
scheme will succeed, and, thus con
vinced, says: “The time for high prices
has gone by; the whole mercantile
world Is prostrate from excessive spec
ulation, while consumers have quietly
but sturdily resolved that their sup
port shall be withdrawn from every
scheme that promises a renewal of the
fictitious prices which have been rob
bing them of their substance for the
last ten years. The party in Congress
which will father such a scheme in the
face of a Presidential election would
commit hari kari by so doing, for the
people would not stand It, and we think
the Merchants’ Protective Associations
and the country dealers would make"
their voices so powerful in their dis
tricts and would so thoroughly ven
tilate the iniquity to the consumers
that no sane politician would dare to
sustain it.”
The great danger confronting the
Democratic party, in the approaching
Congress, is the tremendous attempt
that will be made on all sides to get
subsidies of all sorts. The people at
large ask that burdens be lifted, as
much as possible, from their sorely tried
backs. It the Democrats are betrayed
with a carnival of plunder, they will be
disastrously defeated in 1876.
“Poker Jack” McClure as a Higher
Law Reformer—The Road to Demo
cratic Ruin.
The Nashville American, in com
menting upon the Texas Pacific Rail
road Convention, which recently met
at Memphis, and especially upon the
remarks of ex-Chief Justice McClure,
of Arkansas, thus speaks :
Regretting that we have not space for
the exhaustive and powerful speech of
Judge McClure, entire, we especially com
mend his suggestion that, so far as the
Southern States are concerned, this Texas
and Pacific Railroad question be, by con
sent, withdrawn froin the arena of politics
in the national campaign of next year, a,ud
that the two political parties in the States
named resolve not to support the nomina
tion of any man for the Presidency or for
national position who is not an ardent and
vigorous supporter of a Southern Pacific
Railroad. It is a question far above and
more enduring than parties. Its nation
al importance and its general benefits to
American commerce are certain, sooner or
later, to be realized. But its inauguration
will never find a more opportune season
than now.
If this is to be the platform upon
which, the Southern States are, next
year, to stake their hopes of a political
future, let us, by all means, place upon
that platform gentlemen who consider
the Southern Pacific Railroad the most
important, if not the only, question
which concerns the South. Why not
Thomas A. Scott for President, and
Mr. J ustice McSLUREfor Vice-President?
Everybody knows that Mr. Scott is no
party man; that he considers every
railroad project in which he is inter
ested a “question far above and more
enduring than parties,” and when he
waqts a sixty-million loan or endorse
ment from the Federal Government,
he has very Impartially approached
Congressmen of all shades of politics,
and never seems to care about their
opinions on the Louisiana question or
the third term, so long as they vote for
his little bill.
Mr. Ex-Chief Justice McClure, of
Arkansas (more generally known as
“Poker Jack - ’), has been principally
famous for the active part he took in
behalf of Brooks, and afterwards. Vol
ney Voltaire Smith, the respective
claimants to the Governorship of Ar
kansas against Gov. Garland; and his
participation in the Chattanooga Car
pet-Baggers’ Convention of last Fall,
when a permanent “Outrage” Com
mittee was appointed, of which he is
at present a member. But now he is
willing to “rise above party” and vote
for any man who will favor the Southern
Pacific Railroad. Scott and McClure
would be a capital ticket, and sound on
the one great question.
But, seriously considering the matter,
is the Democratic party to unite, next
year, in one grand and overwhelming
attack upon the Radical host, upon a
platform alike acceptable to the Demo
crats of all sections of this country, or
is there to be a hard money platform
for New York and the East, a tariff for
protection in Pennsylvania, a “ volume
of currency equal to the wants of
trade ” in Ohio; whether it takes a
wallet or a bushel basket to carry It
in, and a Texas Pacific Railroad for the
South? If so, there is certainly no
doubt, even now, as to the result of
next year’s election. But away with all
such miserable side shows! This is not
a fight in behalf of any section. No
States or neighborhood of States have
a right to force their special interests
upon the Democratic party. Other and
higher duties are now pressing upon
us. Relieve the country from the
deadly incubus of the Republican par
ty. Place in power the only Constitu
tional party now in existence. And
then, if any section desires the loan of
Government bonds or credit, let the
answer be : “If we can afford it, and
it is in accordance with the Constitu
tion, we will gladly render you assist
ance.”
Cheeky. —A vagrant correspondent
of the New York World, Mr. Jerome B.
Stillson, thus writes from Cincinnati:
The big hearted West and the warm
hearted South are a3 blind as plums in a
pudding, politically, and as reckless as
school-boys or lounging darkies, finan
cially, to the permanent evils that threaten
the country. Both, like the urchin out of
pennies or the darkey out of work, resent
the existing business stress by wild out
cries and tantrums, aud there is no sense
and reason In what they say.
Upon what Wall street meat has this
Canarian Stillson fed that he has
grown so great ? This is the attitude
assumed by Eastern men and journals
toward the people of the West and
South. Considering that the dominion
of this country is gravitating toward
the West, and that a Union of that
section with the South will make the
East cut a verry sorry figure iu politics,
such gratuitous insults as Mr. Jerome
B. Stili son’s are about as sensible and
opportune as Gen. Hawley’s recent
capers at the South in favor of the
Centennial.
Failing. —We fear Paul Morphy will
not be alone in his insanity very long,
because of too much brooding on a
hobby. The New York Express in
forms us that Mr. Richard Grant
White, who finds fault with every
body’s grammar but his own, last
month brought forth “ Heterophemy.”
This month he produces “ Cynicaster
ism.” He objects to “Is being built,”
and then hatches up such monstrosi
ties as those quoted. “Donated” of
fends his delicate nerves, but he doesn’t
flinch at “ cynicasterism.”j Next Ba
trachophagians will come and a vast
procession of illimitable compounds
that would have made mad the old
writers of English prose who found in
Saxon words a strength and dignity
and power that all the modern writers
in the world could not excel.

Solved. —The Chief Justice of Utah
has hit upon an ingenious plan to
liberate Brigham Young from the im
portunities of his faithless Ann Eliza,
He decides—and Attorney General
Pierrepont conaurs—that the woman,
in marrying Brigham Y t oung, violated
the United States statutes, and there
fore cannot avail herself of her own
wrong.
_____ an*
Pungent. —The New York Herald
says: “Zack Chandler is turning all
the old rats out of the Interior De
partment just as they are getting fat.
Now the country has got to fatten up
a lot of new rats.” Old Zack had bet
ter remember the fate of Polonius and
take care not to get behind the arras,
especially when Col. Donn Piatt is
about.
Cotton—Conflicting Reports.
The National Exchange and the
Agricultural Bureau, at Washington,
have got Into quite a snarl over cotton
estimates. The subjoined table will
show at a glance the discrepancy com
plained off:
, Year ending Sept. 1, >
1875.. ‘1876.
States. Actual Cotton Exchanges.
Yield. Per cent. Yield.
North Carolina. 275,000 91 250,250
South Carolina. 400,000 77 308,000
Georgia 550,(.00 86 .473,000
Florida 63,000 85 53,550
Alabama 600,000 110 660,000
Mississippi 550,000 114 627,000
Louisiana 375,000 112 420,000
Texas 475,000 142 674,500
Arkansas 335,000 142 475,700
Tennessee 210,000 110 231,000
Total 3,833,000 109 4,173,000
Certainly, this is a'very wide margin
of difference, which finally culminated,
as we learn from the Financial Chroni
cle, in a telegraphic correspondence be
tween Mr. Henry Hentz, on the part
of the Exchange, and Mr. J. R. Dodge,
statistician of the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington. We quote:
Mr. Hentz—l am anxious that a correct
interpretation*)!' the "field of cotton com
pared witli last year snail be cabled by our
Exchange to Europe to-night.
Mr. Dodge— Yours received. What can I
do for you ?
Mr. Hentz—ls your report this afternoon
based upon the condition or the yield as
co ' pared with last year ?
Mr. Dcdge—Comparison with the crop of
last year as reported during the first week
of November.
Mr. Hentz—Do you mean that last year’s
aggregate crop represents 100, and that we
have m make deductions and additions
according to your percentage given for this
year’s "field ?
Mr. i odge—Yes. The present figures are
percentage respectively of each one’s
aggregate of last year.
Mr. Hentz—Then we understand that this
report is a percentage of yield of last year,
and not conditional r *
Mr. Dodge—Returns of condition end
with October. Our November returns are
always a direct comparison with the
aggregate yield. Local estimates are re
ceived by counties tabulated here, and an
average made for the State.
Mr. Hentz—From the reading of your
dispatches received this evening, we un
derstand these are comparisons with last
year’s yield, And that the crop based on
these percentages will not exceed four
million bales. Jour Department did not
issue any report in November last?
Mr. Dodge—A report was issued, but no
synopsis was telegraphed.
The Nashville American reads be
tween the lines of both reports, and
says an impression prevailed in New
York that “the report of the National
Cotton Exchange for October was
manipulated in the interest of the bull
party to the speculation which was
then in progress ; and it is also be
lieved that the construction which has
been put upon the November report of
the~Bureau is forced and unnatural—
ignoring, perhaps, the increased acre
age, and the fact that the increased
percentages of yield take place in sec
tions where the greater proportion of
the crop is usually grown, and the de
creased percentages in sections where
the growth of cotton is at the best not
large. Should the November estimate
of the Agricultural Bureau prove cor
rect, the receipts at the ports must
henceforth show a falling off.”
There is so much speculation entering
into the cotton market that it is very
hard to decide between the National
Exchange and the Bureau at Washing
ton. Our own opinion is that the crop
will not be a small one, and that it will
not be the fault of New York operators
if the price continues very low for some
time yet. When the rise is permitted,
it is generally at a time to do the South
ern planters little or no good. The best
way to get first rate prices for cotton, is
for our farmers to t Jake meat and bread
at home, and about fifty per cent, less
of the great staple.
Why, Indeed ?—The Philadelphia
Chronicle says ; “ Will some of our
contractionists tell us why a number
of our leading insurance companies
have been compelled to foreclose so
many mortgages ? Is it because prop
erty is declining, or that the mortgag
ers are unable to pay the interest ? ”
We dare say, without being authorized
to answer, that the property and mort
gagers are both in a very bad way.
Third Term.— The sfew York Tribune
states that every Republican journal
of prominence, with very few excep
tions, has come out boldly against the
third-term scheme as newly revived,
and has declared its unalterable oppo
sition to It. And the Richmond Dis
patch adds that “the Ohio elections put
an end to the third-term spectre.
There is nothing in it.” Well, may be
so, but we doubt it. Grant is in the
third-term business and he is the most
lively spectre in America, at th ! s writ
ing, except Guibord.
