AUGUSTA- QA.;
Wednesday Morninjr, Dec. 1, 1875.
Swindling the South.
Wo were once told by a Northern
liquor dealer that the quality of much
of the whiskey sold to the Southern
country trade was of so vile a descrip
tioE that even the sailor boarding
houses of Baltimore would not pur
chase it. How much the consumption
of this infernal decoction has to do
with scenes of violence in our sec
tion, how much it is responsible for
depraved morals and miserable death
beds, even among the better classes,
let the scientist and temperauce lec
turer determine. But, it is not alone
in fiery liquids that whirl the brain to
madness that the South suffers from
imposition. There are other commod
ities for which she has to pay,
and yet are not such as repre
sented. Take the case of mackerel.
It has been often declared that one sel
dom sees in the South, a kit of this
fish, though so generally used, which
is a No. 1 article though so branded.
It would seem that deception is prac
tised upon our section, in this particu
lar, as in many others, which should
not be allowed. In verification of what
we here state, let our readers carefully
peruse the subjoined sketch of a con
versation which recently took place
between a reporter of the American
Grower and an extensive New York fish
dealer:
Reporter—There is said to be consider
able improvement in the S -uthern trade
this year; how does it affect you ?
Dealer—Well, not much; the Southern
trade buy more goods in Boston than here,
thinking Boston more headquarters and
that there they can buy cheaper.
Reporter—ls It a fact that they can buy
cheaper there ?
Dealer— Why, no; we have got as good
facilities as Boston and should sell as
cheap; we have a bigger market, and can
handle more goods than Boston.
lieporter—Where do the Western men
principally buy V
Dealer—The Western men buy a good
deal in Boston and more in Gloucester di
rect. The men in Gloucester have agents
all through the West, who ship lots of
goods. I saw them shipping goods from
loucester in great quantities.
Reporter—Where are their distributing
points in the West ?
Dealer— They have them everywhere
through that country—St. Louis, Chicago,
Milwaukee, St. Paul, &c. Very few fish go
West from New York; they use a great
deal of lake fish, trout and white fish, more
than they do of mackerel.
.Reporter—What class of goods is that
which goes South?
Dealer—lt is the Inferior kind. I went to
a prominent houso in Boston and repre
sented myself as a Southern man; 1 just
saw their goods that they put up; they had
them at any price I wanted; they had a lot
of old threes which I could have had. I
dropped a line to our folks to say that we
need not be afraid of Boston, we could sell
as good goods as they and sell for less. We
never thought of furnishing such goods.
lieporter—ls the Boston classification cf
ones, twos and threes known through the
W est and South ?
Dealer—l don’t think it is; they have no
idea of it. and for that reason twos and
threes can be passed off for ones. No. one
mackerel must measure thirteen inches to
the fork, and twos eleven inches, You take
a large three, it will measure thirteen or
fourteen inches, but they are only ‘‘leather
bellies.” These mackerel pass in the South
as ones; It does not seem to make any
difference. We never ship very line mack
erel South except we have a special order,
though they are getting to want finer
mackerel now.
Reporter—Which are the best quality.
Dealer.—Shore mackerel are the best; bay
are the poorer kind; however, some time
ago bay were better than shore, on account
of there being so many bluefish, which
drove away the feed. There is a difference
between Portland and Gloucester mackerel,
which is made in the inspection. The
Portland do not appear so fat as the Glou l
cester from! being pressed tighter in the
barrel; but they are inspected a little lar
ger, and we prefer Portland to Gloucester,
though the vessels fish side by side in the
same bay and sometimes trade with each
other. 'J he Gloucester don’t seem to come
out like Portland, and they seem more
honest at Portland.
Reporter.—What is the grade of fish ta
ken by New York, compared with the West
and South ?
Dealer.—New York lakes a better grade
than either the West or the South, but for
fish, New Jersey is the most particular
(State we,have, r l he people of New Jersey
take the finest fish. They are well-to-do
people and judges, and you cannot stick
any poor goods on them. We sell more fish
in New Jersey than in any other State.
Reporter.—Then the worst class of trade
is with the South ?
Dealer.—No; the goods that we cannot
sell at all elsewhere go to the West Indies.
Gf course, there are some exceptions. When
we are stuck and cannot get rid of goods
here, and have no prospect of selling them,
we send them there.
Reporter.—But if you sent a good article
your trade would increase.
Dealer.—lt might, but we want our goo.!
goods for home consumption, and in the
West Indies they want the cheapest they
can buy.
It strikes us that this veracious con
versation should open the eyes of our
merchants and the public generally.
The probabilities are that inferior
articles, at high prices, are foisted
upon the grocers of the South, and
they, in turn, out of pure innocence,
sell a third-rate article, at a first-rate
price. There never was a country so
shamefully practiced upon as the
South is, and so long as her people
are dependent upon ethers for the
commonest necessaries of life, and
permit themselves to be leeched, there
will never be any solid prosperity in
this section.
Colbath.—The Richmond Dispatch
says: “Whatever reason Wilson had
for giving up Colbath, his father still
felt a father’s attachment for the son
notwithstanding he had thrown away
the family name. It is related of him
that he was present one day when Mr.
Wilson was to receive some public
honor and was to make one of his
speeches. The gentleman who intro
duced him—the newly made United
States Senator—to his townsmen, after
lauding him very highly, went on to
say, ‘And when we remember whom he
sprang from’ Mr. Colbath, the
father of the Senator, exclaimed:
‘Damn him; what does he mean? I
have a good mind to get up and kick’—
etc. We rathor think the venerable
father, full of resentment, was a better
pattern of a man than the son with a
new name and the honor of United
States Senator thereto attached.”
A Man of Fashion.—lt is now re
ported that McDonald, the convicted
whiskey ringster, wore 35,000 to 310,000
worth of diamonds, drove fast horses,
bet at races, wore a velvet coat and
gold-headed cane. He looked in the
face like a “solid man,” but his cloth
ing and jewelry would make yon think
he was “one of the boys.” His salary
was 33,000 a year. There are plenty
of such gentry who sport in the sun
shine awhile, and then eithei decamp
with somebody’s money, or else get
lodgings in the penitentiary.

cently been put in market that eats

dncinnati Saturday Night.
Cotton Manufacture —Advantages of
the South.
So far as it concerns the North, the
Baltimore Gazette argues that the re
cent exportation of American cotton
goods of the cheaper sorts to England,
far from being a matter of jubilation,
is, on the contrary, a sign of unhealth
iness. Our Baliimore contemporary
contends’ that it grows out of the de
pressed condition of our cotton manu
factures ; can only be regarded as an
effort to get rid of a part of the accu
mulated surplus now on the market,
and finding slow sale at unremuuera
tive prices, and, if maintained at all, it
must be by reducing the wages of the
operatives. This the mill owners are
trying to do. The failure of the Fall
River strike resulted in forcing the op
eratives to accept a reduction of ten
per cent, on the former rate of wages,
and the mill owners, taking advantage
of their victory, and the necessities of
their work people, now insist on a
further reduction of ten percent.
The same authority thinks, from
these premises that two things aro
made apparent: “If cotton goods can
be successfully exported to England, or
to other countries where these fabrics
come into competition with English
goods, either there is no necessity any
longer for a tariff to protect their
manufacture, or the export must be at
the expense of impoverishing the
operatives.”
The Gazette, however, believes that
the present export is a ruse on the part
of manufacturers, in view of the shrink
age in domestic demands and glut of
the market, to get rid, even at loss, of
the surplus production. The object is
stated as two-fold viz: saving of the
interest on first cost and, by reduction
of stock, to advance prices at home.
Illustrating the effect of this policy
by a comparison with the iron and
copper trade, the Gazette concludes
thus : “When we set down our furna
ces and our rolling millsjin the midst
of the coal and the ore, the limestone
and the manganese, that are the raw
material required to produce this
most useful of all the metals, we shall
be able to compete with the world
without the need of a tariff to protect
its manufacture. So, too, when we set
our cotton mills in the midst of the
cotton plantations, instead of trans
porting the raw material a thousand
miles to bo manufactured, we may
hope to compete with England in
foreign markets and yet pay our
operatives good wages. But not till
then.”
Printers’ Blunders—An Amusing Ex
ample.
Good Deacon Smith, editor of the
Cincinnati Gazette, heard of Henry Wil
son’s certain death and Brick Pomeroy’s
probable failure, at the same time.—
This was an avalanche of good things
and he sat down to write, in his very
clever and forcible way, two articles
upon these widely divergent themes.
Now, if the editor of the Cincinnati
Gazette loved any man itj was the old
Abolitionist Henry Wilson, and if he
cordially abominated any one it was
Pomeroy aforesaid. His articles were
written, read, corrected and sent to the
foreman for an appropriate setting in
the forms for publication. Imagine
the horror and disgust of the pious
Deacon, next morning, when eating his
broilod grouso and sipping his Mocha
coffee, with the journal of his heart be
fore him, to read the conclusion of his
eulogy upon the dead Vice-President
as follows :
There was nothing of the upstart about
him. Unlike those who, having clambered
up to the top of the ladder of success,
kick at those who have reached only the
lower rounds, he v’as as much a believer in
true Democracy when Vice-President by
creditors, whose claims are $140,000 in the
aggregate. Pomeroy had no assets but
his clothes, and those were exempt from
attachment. Had he stayed in La Crosse,
or retired from business in time, he might
had a pecuniary competency, and still en
joy a local fame. As it is, ho has gono to
join the humorists and spouters who wore
popular for a short time only, to pass into
the depths of obscurity.
It has beeu shrewdly suggested that
the foreman who arranged this edi
torial gumbo had a “brick in his hat.”
Be this as it may, we feel a moral
certainty that the pious Deacon ex
claimed, as Aaron did, in the play of
Titus Andronicus: “Vengeance is in
my heart, death in my hand.” We
shall carefully search late numbers of
the Gazette for an obituary notieo of
the delinquent foreman. The idea of
his being permitted to live is pre
posterous.
Patience and Perseverance. —The
complaint is frequent among stout,
hearty white men that they cannot get
anything to do, and that they do not
make a living when anything offers de
manding exertion on their part. But,
we read that Mrs. Mary Ahart, a col
ored woman, lived in a tent, and her
worldly possessions consisted of two
cows and calves, a straw bed and two
or three boxes, which served as chairs.
She sold milk andf carried it around
herself, by this means supporting her
self and child. She now has several
hundred head of cattle, a fine farm
well stocked and thoroughly improved,
and a comfortable home, the value of
which is somewhere in the neighbor
hood of $50,000, every cent of which
has been earned or gained by industry
and good management.
Funeral Reform. The crusade
against extravagant fuuerals continues
in England. The more prominent Eng
lish clergymen, at a recent Church
Congress, spoke boldly against funeral
pomps and in favor of economy. Their
effort was to show that simplicity was
not shabbiDess and that economy at
funerals was no dishonor to the dead.
Mr. Beresford Hope warmly seconded
the resolutions passed, and the Earl of
Shrewsbury said he had directed in his
will that he should be buried at no
great expense—not from economical
motives, but because there were better
ways of [spending money in behalf of
the church. If reform in this particu
lar is found to be an urgent necessity
in a rich country like England, how
much greater the demand in a poor
country like the South?
To extinguish kerosene flames, fling
a cloth over them, or, if the flour barrel
is handier, throw on flour, which ab
sorbs the iluid, kills the flames, and
can be readily cleared up afterward.
Chief Justice Waite and the Presi
dency.
Some friends of the Chief Justice of
the United States having appealed to
him to signify his wishes with regard
to the Presidency and its candidature,
he has replied, in effect, as follows:
“Of course, I am grateful to my friends
for any efforts in my behalf, and no one
ever had those more faithful and in
dulgent. But do you think it quite
right for oue occupying the first judi
cial position in the land to permit the
use of his name for a political position?
The office came to me covered with
honor, and when I accepted it my chief
duty was not to make it a stepping
stone to something else, but to preserve
its purity, and if possible make my
name as honorable as that of my pre
decessors. No man ought to accept
this place unless he shall take a vow
to leave it as honorable as ho found it.
There ought never to be any necessity
for rebuilding from below. All addi
tions should be above. In my judg
ment, the Constitution might wisely
have prohibited the election of a Chief
Justice to the Presidency. Entertain
ing such a view, could I properly or
consistently permit my name to be
used for the promotion of a political
combination as now suggested ? If I
should do so, could I at all times and
in all cases remain an unbiased Judge
in the estimation of the people ?”
The sentiments expressed by the
Chief Justice are such as entitle
them to the conspicuous position we
give them. The only weak part of his
letter, and that errs on the side of
charity, is where he states that he re
ceived the position he now holds “cov
ered with honor.” If ever mortal man
had “Presidency on the brain,” it was
the predecessor of Mr. Waite, and if
ever a man, to his dying day, was
more open to the solicitation of friends
for Presidential honors than Salmon P.
Chase, we have yet to hear of him.
Brown.— A man named Brown, and
known as the “Coal King of Pittsburg,”
died last week. He started from the
gutter, but managed to amass 35,000,-
000. He “kept his business in his
head",” but bis head seems to have
been too much occupied, as the owner
of it died in a mad house.
GOOD AND BAD FEELINCt.
Scene in the St. Louis Convention —
The Treatment of Mr. Davis.
In its report of tho proceedings of
tlie Texas Pacific Railroad Conven
tion, at St. Louis, the Globe-Demo
crat gives, the following exciting
scene:
At this point a delegate arose, and
remarking t hat he observed the pres
ence of Gen. Joe Johnston in the house,
moved that he be iuvited to seat on the
platform. The motion was carried
unanimously, aud Gen. Johnston moved
forward to tho platform amid great
cheering. As Gen. Johnston stepped
on the stage he was met by Gen. Sher
man, who extended his arm, and the
two veterans shook hands amid tumult
uous and long-continued cheering, men
staruliug up in their seats and shouting
until they were hoarse. In the same
spirit Gen. Beauregard was invited to a
seat on the platform, and was kindly
received, but with less violent enthu
siasm.
Mr. Trimble, of Kentucky, moved
that Jefierson Davis also be requested
to take a seat on the platform. [Cries
of “no!” “no!”
Colonel Broadhead moved a recess
to enable the committee on permanent
organization to make its report.
Mr. Trimble, of Kentucky, said that
distinguished men from all parts of the
couutry had been iuvited to a seat upon
the platform. No one in the country
had done more to arouse an interest in
tho widening of tho mouth of the Mis
sissippi, and tho increase of the com
merce of the west, aud the great cause
that we are here assembled to promote
than Mr. Davis. Mr. Trimble had no
personal or political feeling toward Mr.
Davis, and lje made the motion simply
as au act of justice. Ho hoped the con
ve'utlon would banish all feeling of sec
tion—east, west, north and south.
Tho question was put and was car
ried, although not without a consid
erable arnout of noisy opposition.
Mr. Davis was observed on the floor,
but was unable to catch tho ear of tho
chairman until the chair decided that
the motion had prevailed.
Mr. Davis then said : “I intended to
say to the convention that for person
al considerations I could not accept of
tho kindness they have shown. I am
chajrman of the Mississippi delegation,
and have functions to perforin off tho
stand, and I did not wish to take a
place upon it; but pitying the poor
spiiit manifested by those who cried
‘No !’ I will tell them that if they had
allowed me, I would have declined the
offer, even if it had been freely offered.”
At the conclusion of his remarks Mr.
Davis resumed his seat, evidently un
der the influence of considerable emo
tion.
