FOR THE CAMPAIGN OF 1876.
The Augusta Constitutionalist.
The Proprietors would announce that the
Augusta Constitutionalist will take a
leading part in the coming Presidential
and Gubernatorial Campaigns of 1876.
Next year an election will be held for
President and Vice-President of the United
States. In Georgia a Governor and other
State officers, memb is of Congress and
members of the Legislature are to be
chosen.
It is already known that the Presidential
contest will be the most exciting, and cer
tainly the most important which has oc
curred since 1860. Upon a truthful press
the people must almost wholly rely for
accurate information, in order to act intel
ligently and in concert. To our immediate
section, it is of the first importance that its
voice should be heard by the country at
large, its necessities known and the legisla
tion it needs in Congress, and the future
policy of the Government, through its
Executive, made perfectly clear.
The Constitutionalist has a strong
corps of editors and correspondents em
ployed, and will devote a large amount of
its space to the Presidential and the State
campaign.
But it will not be altogether political—it
will then, as now, publish each morning in
its Daily, every other day in its Tri-
Weekly, and its Weekly, the very latest
news received up to three o’clock on the
morning of publication. This will include
telegraphic dispatches from all portions of
the United States, dispatches by cable
from the Old World, the markets at home
and from Europe, a daily resume of Geor
gia and South Carolina local news, the
decisions of the Supreme Court of Georgia,
and, lastly, the local news of the city of
Augusta.

AUGUSTA. C3-A.,:
Thursday Morning, Dec. 23, 1875.
Failure of Cotton Raising.
The people of southeastern Missouri
got “cotton on the brain” last year,
ami, in anticipation of a profitable
yield of the staple, emulated the South
ern States, where “the King” is sup
posed to be golden-crowned. The
Stoddard county Messenger gives the
cost of cultivating twelve acres thus:
“Labor of one man for four months,
with board, $100; horse and feed, S4O ;
rent of ground, S4O; picking, 1,800
pounds per acre, at one cent a pound,
$216 ; total cost, $396. The product,
it says, will be half a bale to the acre,
or six bales for the twelve acres. Esti
mating 500 pounds to the bale, at 11
cents a pound, the proceeds will be
$330, or $66 less than cost.”
We presume that cotton raising in
southeastern Missouri will not pay, at
any time. The question is beginning to
be asked in the Gulf States whether
cotton pays at all when exclusively
cultivated. Some men contend that it
does; others that it does not. One
thing seems pretty well established,
viz : That the planters of the South,
especially those who are almost entire
ly devoted to cotton culture, are not
well off. At any rate, they so declare
and terrible indeed must be their pecu
niary straits when the paltry subscrip
tion of two dollars per annum for a
weekly paper comes to them like a
“sliceof the day of judgment.” We
believe that the men who make money
at cotton culture are those who live
thriftily,work themselves and train their
children usefully; who do not over-crop
themselves and borrow money at 25
per cent.; who raise a considerable por
tion of their bread and meat, and avoid
speculation in “ futures,” as burned
children dread the fire. We had hoped
that the Patrons of Husbandry would
have reformed agriculture in the South,
so that farming might, in some con
spicuous degree, take the place of what
is called “planting.” Probably the Pa
trons have not had time to accomplish
this desirable reform, but the sooner
they do so the better for this section.,
A gentleman just from the North
says there is no doubt that the Presi
dential campaign will be fought by the
Republicans, East and West, on
“ rebel ” issues. The best way to
make such demagogues and fa
natics sick of that tomfoolery is for
the Southern planters or farmers to
raise less cotton and far more bread
and meat; to retrench in all things
possible, especially those things which
they have been accustomed to pur
chase from abroad. Should this plan
be adopted, we can make our relentless
enemies squeal. If they are determined
to have no mercy upon us, we should,
in self-defence, refuse to furnish them
with the sinews of war. A concert of
action, or anything like it, upon the
part of the Southern people, will ac
complish wonders in this direction.
Even the Western journals admit this
power of combination, on our part; but
they always sneerin add; “The
South always was a foo in neglecting
her advantages, and always will be.”
Very soon another planting season will
be upon us. It remains to be seen
whether another season of folly will be
introduced at the same time.
“Phernandy Wud” sits within three
desks of a colored member and still sur
vives.- Philadelphia Times.
Perhaps the magnificent Fernando has
made arrangements to have his neigh
bor black his boots.
Oh !—Hon. Jefferson Walker, color
ed, representative from Monroe county,
has just been imprisoned
for hog stealing. He should have
stolen scrip and received bribes, in
order to escape incarceration.
Christmas and Hard Times—The Best
of Gifts.
From all parts of the country, ac
cording to the universal report of our
exchanges, the present Christmas week
is a peculiar one. Hard times in the
commercial world have their effect, and
this effect is visible on the streets and
in the shops. Gifts are not of the ex
pensive character they used to be, but
perhaps they are more useful. Many
persons will fall to get a material
present, but there is compensation in
, the fact that they can thereby be re
lieved of giving any, as was their wont,
on former occasions. The children
may miss somewhat of Santa Claus’
ordinary abundance, but they should
be taught the first principles of prac
tical economy by hanging up smaller
stockings than usual, in order to get
them plumply filled.
The papers and periodicals are al
ready beginning to crop out into rhyme
suitable to the occasion, and here is a
neat thing from St. Nicholas :
Merry Christmas! boys and girls,
Santa Claus with team and toys
Now is starting on his way,
With his overladen sleigh—
Never heeding cold or wetting,
Not a single town forgetting,
But a puzzled look he bears.
As he moves among his wares;
And I doubt it ever yet
Was Santa Claus in such a pet;
Now he purses up his lips,
Snaps his rosy finger-tips;
All in vain he scans his store,
Names the children o’er and o’er -
Just one boy deserves a switch,
And he has forgotten which.
If we are to believe the tales of
parents, many little boys have deserved
the switch during the year, and the
chances of their meriting that instru
ment, which even Solomon recommend
ed, are very predominant. Along with
sugar-plums and tin horns, it might
not come amiss to insert a bit df
hickory, if only to remind young hope
ful that he is to study the coat of arms
of this State and practice wisdom, jus
tice and moderation. If there are any
very bad and incorrigible boys, another
writer suggests that they be whole
somely alarmed by a copy of the sub
joined verses:
It was a gruesome butcher,
With countenance saturnine;
He stood at the door of his little shop,
It was the hour of nine.
The children going by to school
Looked in at the open door;
They loved to see the sausage machine,
And hear its awful roar.
The butcher he looked out and in,
Then horribly he swore.
Next yawned, then, smiling, he licked his
chops;
Quoth he: “Life’s an awful bore!”
“Now here’s all these dear little children,
Some on ’em might live to be sixty;
Why shouldn’t I save ’em the trouble to
wunst
An’ chop ’em up slipperty lieksty?’’
So he winked to the children and beckoned
them in:
“O, don’t ye’s want some candy?
But ye see ye’ll have to come into the shop,
For out here it isn’t handy!”
He ’ticed them into the little shop,
The machine went round and round;
And when those poor babes came out again,
They fetched ten cents a pound.
An illuminated card with these verses
handsomely printed thereupon may
not be altogether out of place, espe
cially if a toy, representative of “Uncle
Phil,” disguised as “Santa Claus,”
should be in convenient juxtaposition.
We trust very few urchins will need any
such painful reminders ; but we warn
them in time to be very good.
The Philadelphia Times takes a
cheerful and yet sentimental view of
this holiday season, It says : “It mat
ters not that the times are hard. It is
not from fat pocket-books, but from
full hearts that the best Christmas
1 cheer proceeds; nor is it the deep chim
> neys of the rich by which St. Nick de
scends to the warmest welcome. We
would have this truth take practical
shape now with some who sadly need
its comfort. There are those, we fear,
who will omit their usual gifts this year
because they cannot make them of their
usual value, forgetting that the slight
est offering may be as rich in true sen
timent as the costliest. Let your remem
brance be as trifling as you please, if
your good will go with it none will de
spise. It seems to us, indeed, that the
Christmas ought to be all the merrier
whose real intent is not obscured by in
discriminate and formal present-giving,
for it is, after all, the day itself, with
its great-hearted good-will to all men,
that we should celebrate. Are not the
Christmases of childhood the cheeriest
of life, and have we ever experienced
such a delirium of delight as when we
discovered, in the gray twilight of a
December morning, anchored beside
the stockings plump with sugar plums
the original Noah’s ark and disembark
ed, with eager fingers, its ancient voya
gers? Ah ! no; it is the key of j'outh
which unlocks the gates of happiness;
which being lost to manhood, age turns
back to boyhood to regain. They shall
not fail of a merry Christmas, however
bitter the times, who shall keep it as
children.”
This is prettily said, and would to
heaven everybody might keep Christ
mas as the children do! Parents
may share the joy of their offspring,
and old bachelors and maiden ladies
must make glad somebody else’s little
ones, in order that they, too, shall have
a portion of the jubilee, which need not
entirely belong to the wedded. Let all,
whether married or single, even in
these hard times, strive to lighten
somebody’s burden, cast a bit of sun
shine into somebody’s afflicted soul
—do some good deed, in* a word,
which blesses the giver while it uplifts
the cause of humanity. There is one
thing, above all, the Christmas time
may bring about, and that is a general
forgiveness of injuries. Let men and
women who have been estranged
make up their differences, recon
ciling themselves with one another,
for the Child Jesus’ sake. No man can
be happy while hatred of his brother
stings, like tlje undying worm, the very
sources of life. If we have offended
anyone, let us manfully crave forgive
ness ; if any one has offended us, let
pardon be generously bestowed. Is
there a better Christmas gift than that ?
We think not. God grant, then, that
in this city at least, if nowhere else,
the joy bells of Christmas will ring in
an era of good will and peace—
“ Peace on the whirring marts,
Peace where the hunter toils, the sailor
roams,
Peace, God of Peace, peace, peace in all our
homes,
And peace in all our hearts.”
Rev. James S. Lamar.
We welcome back to his old home,
for the Christinas holidays, Elder
James S. Lamak. He is the picture of
good health and fine spirits. His Ken
tucky residence has not disagreed
with him. On the contrary, the blue
grass region, with its superb speci
mens of animated nature, has become
a part of his being, and his presence
here is breezy and refreshing. Elder
Lamar comes to assist at the dedica--
tiqn of the splendid new Christian
Church, the congregation of which was
once his special and devoted charge.
It is needless to say that our people, of
all classes and communions, hail this
good man’s advent as the best Christ
mas gift he could bestow upon them.
Government Reform A German
Suggestion.— The Cincinnati Volksblatt
suggests the following reforms :
Abolition of the needless and unjustifiable
National Bureau of Agriculture.
Abolition of the still more needless and
costly National Bureau of Education.
Abolition of the Military Academy at
West Point.
Abolition of the Naval Academy at An
napolis.
Abolition of the Post Office as a Gove n
ment institution.
Absolute free trade, and th' abolition of
Custom Houses, Custom officers and coast
guards.
Abolition of the Internal Revenue De
partment, and the collection of Federal
taxes throughout the individual States.
Abolition of the Government Printing
Office, and of the printing system hitherto
prevailing, through which tons of useless
rubbish are yearly manufactured, whicli
nobody has read, and nobody ever will.
There is pith in some of these sug
gestions. If not abolished, many
branches of the public service could be
run on a more economical scale.
ami
A Straw.— The Nashville American
says : “One of the most significant
symptoms of the hardness of the times
and the honesty of the new Congress,
thus far, is the fact that many of the
members have been compelled to draw
their December pay in advance to get
holiday spending money. This pay is
not due until January 4th. Iu this
particular, at least, a large majority is
iu favor of ‘ more money.’ ” Good
enough i But when they shall have
spent all of that advanced money, what
then? If the Freedman’s Bank were
in operation, the matter might be
managed for the “desperately short.”
Rights.— An exchange says it is a
woman’s right to know whether or not
a man is bald-headed, and custom re
quires that every gentleman should
take off his hat when in the presence
of a lady. Then, in the name of fair
play, let the man insist upon the wo
man removing her false hair in order
to demonstrate that she, too, is not
bald-headed.

‘ 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 hearts 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.
