AUGUSTA. C3-A.:
Tuesday Moruing, December 21. 1875.
South Carolina Politics.
The spirit manifested by the black
party of South Carolina, in the recent
election of Judges, is of such a start
ling and hostile character, that even
the News and Courier is shaken from
its preconceived ideas of reform. The
Greenville News talks boldly out in
meeting, thus: “Thecoalition or amal
gamation schedule of the News and
Courier has hoisted a nigger to the
bench in Charleston. How? Why if
the Democratic party had been organ
ized in the last campaign, and made a
fight against Radicalism and corrup
tion, it would have entitled the party to
some respect from the dominant party.
But the white people, under the advice
of the News and Courier, having voted
the Liberal Republican ticket, lost
their prestige and strength, and the re
sult is the election of Whipper and
Moses. Had our people stood square
up like men, and asserted their man
hood at the ballot box, denouncing at
all times Republicanism in every shape
and form, they would have command
ed respect from the opposition—and
they would have been able, at least, to
compel the dominant, party in the State
to elect competent and honest men to
all offices within their gift. As it is, we
have lost the respect of the Republi
cans and have not the strength to
make them either respect us or do jus
tice to the peoplein their appointments.”
The language employed in the above
extract may not be very classical, but
it is forcible, and, to our mind 9, just.
The dominant negro faction that could
insult the white minority of the State
by appointing such monstrous carica
tures of decency and honesty, as Whip
per and Moses, to the judicial author
ity, is unworthy of any toleration, much
less coalition. Not by policy-monger
ing and soft words, not by compromise
and juggliug, will the true people of
South Carolina redeem their State and
protect themselves. The so-called Con
servatives, as opponents of the black
Radicalism of the commonwealth,
are just as much an obstruction to the
barbarism and rascality of their ene
mies as so many turnstiles. They are,
to a certain degree, in the way of cor
ruption and villainy, but do not stop it
at all. Elliott and his gang are de
termined to rule the State and their
success will be certain unless they are
met with a determined opposition, on
square issues. The compromise folly
of the past ought to be blown to the
four winds. It has been actually ex
ploded by the black Radicals them
selves, and any man who continues to
follow that phantom, is just as wise
as the little boy who thinks
he is a veritable equestrian artist,,
because he rides a stick horse round
the circus ring, when the circus
is gone. The comparison is not anew
one, but it is none the less true for all
that.
The Culumbia Register, the Green
ville News, and Anderson Intelligencer,
have been the best advisers of the peo
ple of South Carolina within their own
borders. The policy they have sketched
is such as can do the Carolinians no
harm, but, on the contrary, if vigorous
ly adopted and unitedly pursued, will
bear good fruit.
Falling Houses. —The New York Ex
press, alluding to the fact that the year
1875 has been one of the most disas
trous on record for business failures,
makes the following judicious remarks:
“It is said in Boston, where so many of
these failures have taken place, that
those falling houses have struggled too
long under the pressure of obligations
tending all the time to bear them down.
Unwilling to recognize the fact that
prices have fallen permanently, and in
some classes that goods are still fall
ing, they have staggered on under a
heavy load of merchandise unsalable at
a profit, rather than realise what could
be had for it, to bid good-bye to the
capital sunk, and proceed more cau
tiously on a less extended basis. The
houses that to-day stand firm are
those which contracted their business
when disaster overtook trade. These
have avoided all uncertain ven
tures until the clouds lift once
more. The chief cause of all this
difficulty has been a disordered cur
rency. The best remedy for the evil is
in an improvement of the currency and
a more stable basis, that will encourage
legitimate enterprise. The houses now
falling one by one are making reforms
more practical. Being heavy bor
rowers, they relieve the money market.
A heavy failure is followed usually by a
decline in the price of the goods in
which the house deals; and when fail
ures are numerous the result is a sensi
ble decrease in the amount of currency
needed to do a given amount of busi
ness. The argument now is that every
failure is an admonition to the houses
that remain, and tends to persuade
them to contract their business and to
borrow as little as possible. In this way
everything is held to be working to
make the task of reform easy. This is
a very hard medicine, but we trust it
will work a cure in the end.”
Who Bids? —The New York Tribune
thinks that the spectacle of that active
little man, Mr. John Y. Foster, holding
up the Republican party of New Jer
sey by the tail, and promising to de
liver it to the highest bidder, is exhil
arating. It wants to know, however,
whether it is the opinion of the aver
age Republican Jerseymen that Mr.
Foster can “deliver the goods?”
The State Debt of Massachusetts
has increased from $23,813,204, Janu
ary 1, 1875, to $33,904,464, November 5,
an increase, says the Boston Journal,
larger by millions than has marked
any corresponding length of time for
wtJoy years. The total valuation of
the State for 1875 is $1,840,785,000, a
net increase of $9,183,835. The loss on
personal is $12,588,361, and the gain on
real, $21,773,196.

Grant and the Third Term.
We publish elsewhere a remarkable
article from Harper's Weekly, in which
strong ground is taken against the re
nomination of Grant for a third term.
The writer points out that Grant’s
candidacy would be the inevitable defeat
of the Republican party. The balance
of power in a “truly loyal” nominating
convention will be with the Federal
officeholders. So far as we can ascer
tain, these men are a unit for General
Grant. It may be that sufficient pres
sure can be brought to bear upon this
element to drop their present prefer
ence, for the good of the political or
ganization to which they are attached.
It will be a difficult matter to accom
plish, but it may be done. At all
events, a powerful press and influence
will move in concert to accomplish the
defeat of the President’s nomination,
and this vigorous onslaught of Har
per's Weekly is a type of what may be
expected from many quarters.
We heard one of our most distin
guished statesmen say that, in his
opinion, Grant’s nomination by a
Republican convention, ruled by the
Federal officials, would be a good
thing for the Democracy, because, thus
nominated, Grant would be beaten.
In ease Grant was not nominated,
and grew ugly toward his own party in
consequence, the Democracy would be
the gainer, not by anything he should
actively do to help them, but by what
he should omit to do for the Republi
cans.
Some of our contemporaries think the
vote in the House of Representatives
against a third term is a settlement of
the question, not to speak of the Cin
cinnati Gazette's semi-official announce
ment that the President had fully made
up his mind to retire to private life at
the end of his official career, on the 4th
of March 1877. We do not much be
lieve in these semi-official announce
ments, which are so liable to reversion
and revision. As to the House vote, it
might have some effect upon an ordi
nary man or a sensitive one; but Grant
is a sphinx and a stubborn one at that.
He is roused by opposition, and the
effect of that vote in the House, far
from driving him into a retirement
from the Presidential contest, may re
ally act as a stimulant for his more de
termined assertion of third term aspi
rations. At all events, we should not
count too certainly upon his being,
either voluntarily or involuntarily, out
of the race; and we want no better evi
dence than the philippic of Harpei''s
Weekly to prove that the philosophers
of the Republican party only too much
dread the ambition of the Executive to
succeed himself.
Byron. The celebrated Spanish
scholar and statesman, Emilio Cas
telar, has written a remarkable me
moir of Lord Byron. Here is a pen
pieture of the poet:
His remarkable face; the beauty of his
Grecian head; his spacious forehead; his
arched eyebrows; the depth of his eyes,
which in repose assumed the pure blue of
the heavens, but which any emotion deep
ened to black, like an ocean of changing
thoughts; the perfect line of his lips,
sculptured as if to vibrate eternal har
mony; his aquiline nose; his beard, divid
ed with incomparable grace; his Olympic
gestures; his majestic attitude; his state
liness, tempered by softness; the genius
flashing from his features; his pale and
delicate complexion, resembling the color
of antique marble, gilded by the suns of
centuries; all his being, all his person, de
clared that, in chiselling the perfect vase,
the Creator did not design that it should
remain empty, but be filled witn immortal
fragrance.
The following epitome of Byron’s
character is very eloquent :
He believed that to live was to feel every
thing, to experience everything; to pass
through the different gradations of the
warmth of universal life; to plunge heavi
ly into the depths of the ocean, like the
fishes; to scale the snowy peaks, like the
eagles; to roll among the dry leaves of au
tumn; to trample on the snows of winter;
to languish under the burning sun of sum
mer ; to hover, like the butterfly, among the
spring flowers; to boa pilgrim, wandering
continually from the Alhambra to the Vat
ican, from the Vatican to the Parthenon,
from the Parthenon to the Pyramids; to be
the orator who wrestles in the tribune, and
the brawler who fights in the streets; to be
the aristocrat, the noble who rejoices in the
remembrance of his blazonings, and in the
pride of his long descent, and the Demo
crat, the man of the people, who protests
against ail tyrannies and demands com
plete liberty; to be by turns a cenobite and
an epicure; chaste and voluptuous; skepti
cal and believing; a criminal and an apos
tle; an enemy of humanity and a philan
thropist ; an angel and a demon, as if his
spirit embraced all things and aii ideas; as
if his being was the abstract of all life, his
personality the protagonist of the grand
scene of the universe, of the great tragedy
of history. No people ever hated a man as
the British people hated Byron; and yet no
race was ever more faithfully represented
in its characteristic qualities, and above all
in its haughty individuality, than the Eng
glish people were represented by Byron.
And yet, there seems to be very little
substantial enthusiasm in England over
the proposed memorial statue to the
author of Childe Harold. Byron’s
greatest popularity is outside of Eng
land.
• a
Henderson. —Ex-Governor Reynolds,
in a conversation with an editor of the
Globe-Democrat, of St. Louis, gives a
“true inwardness” of ex-Senator Hen
derson. Alluding to Grant and the
whiskey trials, he is thus reported :
“I am perfectly convinced that President
Grant, whom I have known for years, and
whom I regard with the warmest friend
ship, is entirely inuocent of any complicity
or knowledge of this thing. If he had any
knowledge of it, he would never have ap
pointed Senator Henderson to the position
of special counsel, because he might have
known that Jock Henderson would take
just such a shoot as he did. We old Demo
crats know him better, don’t we General ?”
1 he gentleman referred to was General
D. M. Frost, who was the commandant at
Camp Jackson, in tho suburbs of St. Louis,
at the breaking out of the war, and who
was a prominent Democratic politician of
that fierce time.
“Yes,” said General Frost, “we do. I re
member when I was in the Legislature,
and Jock Henderson was a Democrat.
Ho was regarded as a nullifler, and we more
conservative Democrats did our best to
tone him down.”
“I remember,” added Governor Rey
nolds, “his making a speech at Mexico,
the homo now of Governor Hardin, when
he was running for Congress in that dis
trict, and his appealing to me, as a native
of South Carolina, if ho was not ‘sound on
the goose,’ to which, of course, I replied to
the crowd, that be was. And six months
afterward he was a fierce Republican.”
Words. —When a man wants to bor
row money here, he is asked to state
his “collateral.” In Wall street the
same commodity is called “squibulum.”
Good.— Gen. W. Montgomery Gard -
ner is suggested by the Rome Courier
for State Treasurer. He would make a
good one.
A young man who went about yes
terday morning snuffling and blowing
his nose, explained to a friend that,
“ she didn’t have ady fire id de parlor

Matrimony.
Mr. Editor :—Having read your ar
ticles upon the subject of matrimony,
I feel constrained to put in a few words
in defense of my much abused sex. I
will review the history of the average
married couple, praying your patience
the while. I will take you to the start
ing point, courtship. It isn’t pleasant
I know, to a married man, to be invited
to a glance into this period. I will
lead you now into the parlor with the
lovers. You behold the man upon his
knees, his countenance beaming with
love, his lips quivering with the ex
pressions of devotion. He is actually
a worshipper. The woman before him
is his idol. He vows that his life shall
be devoted to her happiness—that his
every thought shall be of her—-that he
finds his happiness only in tier's. He
calls her the queen of his heart. The
poor, thoughtless girl before him re
ceives his adoration, listens to his
honeyed words, and finally consents to
mount the throne he has placed before
her.
We will now take a glimpse of the
honey-moon. The blooming bride wears
a joyous smile for she sits a queen upon
the throne of her husband’s heart. All
is ‘couleur de rose.’ Life is glorious to
her—the world radiant with sunshine,
and her heart, so full of love, over
flows at every touch of kindness from
even the most distant hand.
The honey-moon over—“My Lady”
begins to learn buttons are to be sewed
on, socks darned—one step ehe de
scends from her throne.
Next she must see that the house is
neat in every part—meals in time, aud
at evening, slippers warmed upon the
hearth rug—foot-stool, chair, candle
stand and book in readiness; for her
whilom servant, now lord, has discov
ered that his happiness is found not so
much in her’s, as, in his comforts, and
there he sits (selfish creature) book in
hand amusing himself with imaginary
men and women while the weary wife by
his side, pining for companionship, plies
the busy needle in silence; her thoughts
the while mournfully reverting to the
pleasant evenings spent beneath the
parental roof, where brothers and sis
ters mingled in social converse or
whiled away the joyous hours with
musifl or some pleasant game. She be
gins to realize her changed position.
She has dismounted her throne aud
now finds herself to be not “queen,”
but “upper servant.” Her lord not
satisfied with this, his whilom queen is
requested to enter the kitchen. Here
she is expected to be mistress of the
culinary arts. She must know when
turkey is “done to a turn,” how to
broil beefsteaks, how “rare” a roast
should be, how thin to slice potatoes,
which she must “drop into boiling lard”
and from which they must come
“brown, crisp, and not at all greasy."
(Methinks this selfish lord might very
properly be treated to a similar bath.)
She must understand how to make a
“good cook of a poor one”—a flue dish
from poor material, etc., etc.
Now, from this greasy, sooty employ
ment (her delicate complexion scorched
and Augers blistered) she must emerge
sweet and clean (no time to change
attire, for dinner would get cold and
husband consequently cross). She
must meet him with a welcoming smile
aud preside with grace at the table.
Added to these trials came the cares of
maternity. She is now nurse, seam
stress (still lower) cook. From a queen
she has descended to a servant; her
throne having long since been kicked
by her former servant now soiereign
into “the lumber-loft of forgotten
things.” Upper Servant.

“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, ehlvtil
rousnearts that beat under It. They com
manded the admiration of the true and t he
brave in every land. But how few admire
a line head enveloped In grey hair ami
whiskers!—very few. We all love admira
tion, and nothing In our appearance la
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
useof Dr. Tutt’s Hair Dm Its populari
ty is so great that It can be found on the
shelves of every druggist, In the land.
