(Tl)c Constitntimidist 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.

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.

Low Premiums—Definite Con tracts. 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.” Endowments at Life Rates.
