£l)e Constfiniicmafot 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.

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.
