(Pjc (Constitutionalist AUaUSTA. C3-A..1 ’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. m ■ m 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. OPERA HOUHE, GIRARDEY’S OPERA HOUSE.
