AUGUSTA. GA,:
Wednesday Morning, Dec. 15, 1875.
An Artful Triak.
The Journal of Commerce, alluding
to that part of the President's Message
relating to the school question, says :
“It is the artful trick of the dema
gogue, bidding for personal popularity
by an appeal to religious prejudices
and sectarian animosities. The Na
tional Government has nothing what
ever to do with the establishment, care
or oversight of common schools. The
proposal seems designed to introduce
directly into the national politics those
disturbing elements which have embit
tered civil dissensions in all ages of the
world.
“We shall not willingly believe that
this proposition has the sanction of the
great party which placed the present
incumbent in the Presidential chair.
Asa bid for personal popularity, with
a view to that re-election of which, it is
said, he still fondly dreams, it may be
treated with contemptuous indifference.
But if it is to be incorporated into
party platforms, and to be made the
lever by which to stir up sectarian
strife and bitterness all over the land,
no one may foretell the far-reaching
desolation to which it must lead.”
The Washington Capital with savage
wit, disposes of the same subject, thus :
“Our only comfort is to be found in
the fact that the threatened sectarian
fight will be confined to such a limited
number that a large mass of our peo
ple will scarcely be aware of the fact
that all the old ladies in and out of
petticoats are clawing, in a theological
way, at each other over the school
question. There are, we well know,
quite a number of gentlemen who never
read a page of their Bible, who yet are
filled with terror lest the Bible be not
read ; and, in like manner, there are
certain people unable to spell ‘wagon,’
who would risk their illiterate necks in
behalf of the common schools. But
sectarian influences weaken day by
day, as readers augment and journals
increase in circulation. There are only
about one-tenth of our population
church-goers, and not over one-tenth
of these are in earnest. To the great
mass of members our churches are so
many club houses, where the women go
to show their clothes, and a few men
attend because it is the thing to do and
they have been in the habit of doiDg
it. The day is past when a war of
sectarianism can be inaugurated or
carried on. But if it is, we want our
excellent President, whether elected for
a third term or not, to be at the head
of our army of hot-gospelers, with a
Bible in one hand and a bottle in the
other, charging in upon the disordered
hosts of the Vatican, with a cry of:
‘ God and our common schools ! Liber
ty and lager beer! ’ ”
We think our friend of the Capital
miscalculates the power of a sectarian
issue in this country, whether men are
church-goers or not. When men, like
the notorious Haven, imitating Titus
Oates, stir up the fires; or when the
Union League and Morton put all
their devilish arts into play; there is no
telling how deplorable the strife will
be. The New York Express thinks the
fire will burn out of itself and proba
bly scorch the fingers of those who
kindled it; but this is a matter of con
jecture simply, and may be a mistaken
one. Showing how Grant’s idea is to
blend political and religious bigotry,
and set different creeds by the ears,
the Express says : “To really religous
men, if we know anything of the true
spirit of religion, this means strife
among men of kindred faith and sects,
war upon religious liberty, discord in
churches, divided schools, and a state
of facts which every thoughtful and
patriotic citizen cannot but lament.”
If this does not mean the diver
sion of the people from Radical usur
pation and robbery, what does it mean?
If this does not mean a prodigious bid
for a third term, it i3 the most sense
less, unpatriotic and uncalled for policy
ever enunciated by a Chief Magistrate,
who is supposed to be on the eve of re
tirement to the shades of private life.
Chicago,- A 'leading Chicago paper
thus describes the state of morals
there: “The gamblers, bunko men and
thieves, are allowed the absolute free
dom of the city. They literally 3warm
in our public thoroughfares, even
blockading up the sidewalks. They
carry their pistols openly. Their
gambling hells and dens are kept in
full operation, not only in the night
time, but also in broad daylight. They
insult, swindle, rob, assault and kill
people with impunity. The hold the
business section of the city in absolute
terrorism, and there is no redress for
it.” In the same breath, the Chicago
papers of the Republican stripe de
risively speak of the South as a bar
barous and law-defiant section. It
seems to us reform should begin at
home.
Absenteeism.—The New Orleans Re
publican, a Radical sheet, complains
that the Crescent City contributes
largely to the support of Parisian folly,
and adds: “Ask for the owners of pro
perty below Canal street, block after
block, and you will be told they live in
France. They have no money for pub
lic improvements, they pay taxes only
upon compulsion, and they rail always
against the government of city and
State. The poor tenants pay rents,
and the absent landlords spend tbeir
substance abroad. New Orleans is pe
culiarly cursed with absenteeism. This
was the case before the war, and it is
so now. Our city is continually being
drained to build up Paris.” Consider
ing the kind of government Louisiana
has been cursed wi.hal, we do not
blame anybody, who could do so, from
getting away. People do not exile
themselves without cause.
Herring-Brown.—We print this
morning a very lengthened rejoinder of
Mr. W. F. Herring, of this city, to ex-
Gov. Brown. This controversy bids
fair to be as lively as that between
Hill and Stephens.
Can Grant Get the Republican "Nomi
nation ?
There have been many declarations
by State Conventions of the Republi
can party against the third term, and
it can not be denied that a very power
ful wing of the party is pronounced in
opposition to General suppos
ed aspirations. But, on the other hand,
an equally formidable element favors
his renomination, and, in these days of
packed conventions, the balance of
power remains with this co-ordinate
branch. The Baltimore Qazette sums
up the probabilities in this way :
The Republicans of two representative
States of the South-Alabama and South
arolina—have formally declared them
selves in favor of his renominalion. These
two States cast in the Electoral College
seventeen votes, and will be entitled to
thirty-four delegate-; to the next Na'ional
Convention. With the same causes (Fed
eral office holders) at work upon the same
elements (the blacks) elsewhere in the
South, it is reasonable to count the Gele
>>-ates pronouncedly favorable to a third
term in the next National Convention as
follows:
Alabama 20 Tennessee 24
Arkansas 12 Texas 16
Georgia 22 Virginia 22
Mississippi 16 Florida f
North Carolina... 20 Louisiana.. . 16
South Carolina... 14
Total 183
♦To these may be added as reasonably cer
tain: Missouri, 30; West Virginia, 10; lowa,
•22 ■ Kansas, 10— in all of Grantism
has a strong hold on the party, a his would
swell his support to 253 votes, out oi the
368 necessary to a [choice. New York and
fennsylvania, or any four of the remaining
large States, would secure his reuomina
tiou, and when the potent influence of fifty
thousand office-holders, working for their
bread and butter, is cast into the scale, it
must be evident that the odds are greatly
in his favor. As the outlook is now vie-ved,
the Republican party is hopelessly saddled
with Grant. The only chance of beating
him will be by the union of all the opposing
i actions on a single candidate, an altogether
improbable turn in events with the head
strong ambitions of the Mortons and
Rlaines and Conklings pressing them for
ward for the glittering prize. Unless all
signs fail, therefore, the Centennial year
will witness a mighty moral contest, and
conspicuous in the foreground the suDlime
spectacle, to quote from that truly loyal
organ, the Philadelphia Press, President
Grant “with drawn sword and open Con
stitution in front of the school-house.
The above seems to us a very fa ir
statement of the case. Grant is sad
dled upon the party and, being the
most courageous of all its leaders, can
not be shaken off with ease. Predic
tions of a bolt, in case of his renomina
tion, are rife, and Carl Schurz sends
us a strident remonstrance; but Ulysses
puffs his cigar complacently, utters
sphinx-like conundrums, stirs up the
devils of hatred, and coolly defies
his enemies. The Liberal Republicans
are perplexed at this and nope to make
their fight in 1876 with another man;
but if they fail in this endeavor, a bolt
is highly improbable, and the vast
mass of them will faoe the music, swal
low their indignation and finally be
come the most ardent supporters of
the “man of destiny.”
Haven.—The New York Herald winds
up an editorial in this fashion:
“Bishop Haven, commander of the
orthodox forces of the Government re
ligion, thunders apostolically from the
fort, and gives the place an air of im
portance by the noise he makes; but
the resolute Henderson’s advance on
the weak point of Crooked Whiskey
has filled bigotry and hypocrisy with
dismay, and their fears of what may
be done in that direction are instruc
tive.” Well, nominate Henderson for
the Presidency on an anti-crooked
whiskey platform. If principles have
gone to the dogs, crooked whiskey is
as good as anything else.
A Model Farmer.—Col. H. H. Jones
says a Milledgeville man, after patient
ly listening to the stereotyped talk of
hard times, scarcity, etc., made his
listeners’ mouths water, by saying that
last week he had slaughtered three
hogs that averaged two hundred and
ninety-two pounds net, and were only
thirteen months old. He had still an
other to baconize, which, at the age of
two years, would weigh when dressed,
six hundred pounds. There seems to be
one man in Georgia who does not have
to “go West.”
Mr. Greene, of Boston, thinks Tweed
a “flighty sort of man.”
-■< m
Preaching and Practice. —Some ob
serving antiquarian records that over
the porch of the old South Church at
Boston is chiseled, “Behold! I have
set before you an open door,” and
under, on the door, is painted in em
phatic letters, “Positively no admit
tance.”
—— 9
Renan.—Rumor hath it that Renan,
the infidel, who a few years ago would
scarcely have been tolerated in Italy,
has now made his home in that coun
try, and is writing a novel to illustrate
an Italian subject. He had previously
written a romance called “The Life of
Jesus.”
Bad.—A list of delinquent tax-pay
ers in Memphis and Shelby county is
somewhat longer than the moral law.
Eighty-two columns of a big newspa
per are required to publish the names
of the unfortunate.
Grant and Congress.—The Financial
Chronicle endorses Grant’s currency
views and says he has thrown the re
sponsibility upon Congress. Poor Con
gress !
Anachronism. —We learn that at a
Centennial tea party at Westfield, New
York, last week, a young lady was
dressed to “ represent Martha Wash
ington at that critical moment when
she was saving the life of John Smith
from the Indians.”
Bob Swim.—The best rider in Ameri
ca, the famous jockey, Bob Swim, was
wounded dangerously the other day, in
New Orleans, by a sport named Wicks.
Good Enough.—Describing a soiree,
Sam Bard mentions the appearance in
character of Mrs. G D n, Miss
O L and, and Miss D N n.
Aha!—Even the big dailies suffer
from the intelligent compositor. The
Courier-Journal alluded to Francis V th,
Duke of Modena. The compositor
made it Francis Y. Duke, of Modena.
Up and Down.—We see it reported
that Sugar-loaf mountain at the en
trance of the harbor of Bio has been
ascended by two American ladies. A
sugar loaf generally descends the
throats of young ladies. But sweets to
the sweet, up or down.
A Good Idea.—The London Builder
recommends people who transplant
trees to mark the north side of each
tree with red chalk before it is taken
up, and replace it in its natural posi
tion. A larger proportion will then
live, as in ignoring this law of nature
transplanted trees generally perish. As
much transplanting is annually done in
Augusta, it may not be amiss to keep
this suggestion in view.
Consolidation. —Vice- President Wil
son had to borrow SIOO from Sumner to
be inaugurated. He was dead-broke
at the tima Had he remained a gypsy,
he would have robbed a hen roost.
Education and a change of name per
form wonders.
Bayard Taylor is reported to have
said that Mark Twain’s wit is wholly
superficial. Mark may return the com
pliment to Taylor’s prose and poetry.
It is currently believed that Baron von
Humboldt declared that Mr. Taylor
had travelled more and seen less than
any man of his acquaintance.
Journalistic.— The Vicksburg Herald
of the 18th says: “The extended space
occupied by the President’s message
will sufficiently account for the ab
sence of our usual variety of reading,
as well as for the absence of a critical
notice, in this issue, of this important
document.” Our contemporary evi
dently does not believe in enterprise.

“THE BOYS IN GREY.”
WE were wont to admire the boys who
wore the grey, though it was not for
the grey alone, but for the noble, chival
rous nearts that beat under it. They com
manded the admiration of the true and the
brave in every land. But how few admire
a fine head enveloped in grey hair and
whiskers!—very few. We all love admira
tion, and nothing in our appearance is
more calculated to secure it than pretty
hair. If old age, sickness or sorrow has
robbed you of it, you can regain it by the
use of Dr. Tutt’s Hair Dye. Its populari
ty is so great that it can be found on the
shelves of every druggist in the land.

Low Premiums—Definite Con

The Cotton States Life Insurance Com
pany, of Macon. Ga., desirous of meeting
the demand of the insuring public for low
rates, and contracts that can be under
stood by all, offers the
Endowment Life-Rate Policy,
With confidence that an examination of the
plan is all that is necessary to commend it
to the favor of all desiring insurance.
This plan secures two objects:
Ist. It provides for those dependent upon
us in the event of death.
2d. It provides for our old age in case
we attain a stipulated age.
The low rate of premiums, and the fact
that the insurance is payable within the
ordinary period of life, makes it
The Most Desirable Form of
Policy Now Offered
the Public.
The premium is as low as the usual life
premium where the insurance is payable
only at death, or the age of ninety, and
the time for payment of the insurance
ranges from the age of 61 to 73 years, or at
death if prior. This period may be short
ened at any time, at the option of the in
sured, by additional payments for that
purpose.
To illustrate the difference between this
plan arid the usual endowments, the fol
lowing is sufficient:
In all Mutual Companies the ordinary
premium at age 41, payable at age 68, is
$42.75 per SI,OOO.
The premium on Endowment-Life-Rate
plan at age 41, payable at age 68, is $32.47
per thousand dollars. Showing a saving
of Twenty-five per Cent, to the Policy
Holder.
Reasons for insuring on the
Endowment Life-Rate Plan :
Ist. It gives the insurance at the lowest
possible cost.
2 '. It provides for your family in case of
death.
3d. It provides for yourself in old age.
4th. There can bo no loss. In case pre
miums should be discontiuued, paid-up in
surance is given for the amount paid in
I premiums.
sth. It is better than a savings bank.
The first premium paid secures a fortune,
I and if pa} ments are continued the accu
mulations and amount insured will be
much more than could be earned by the
most fortunate savings bank.
6th. It secures the amount at a stipulated
age, within the ordinary period of life: and
7tb. By this means it is no longer neces
sary to “ die to win.”
