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, membTS 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 bo 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 cabie
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 ne\v3 of the city of
Augusta.

AUGUSTA.. GA.:
Friday Morning, December 24, 1876.
Railroad Schedules.
One of the most exasperating things
iu the South is the frequency with
which railroad men change their sched
ules. Just as everybody gets accus
tomed to a certain routine, a notice
appears in the daily papers that, on
and after a certain date, trains will run
at such and such intervals. There is a
growl all along the line, then a subsi
dence of anger, and then a desperate
reconciliation with fate. A few weeks
afterward out pops another notice of
another change, and this same dismal,
dreary and abominable transmogrifica
tion goes on from one year to another,
at stated periods. Up to the latest
change, everybody was satisfied, we
believe, with the arrangement. But
this accommodation of the public was
too good to last. We are now
cursed with about a3 disagreeable a
schedule as railway men could inflict, if
they were demons instead of fellow
mortals. We know not who is to blame
for this perpetual tampering with the
schedules, but it would be a relief to
get such iuformation, in order that a
prize chromo might be bestowed
upon him. Will some of the railway
officials be pleased to inform us like
wise concerning the true inwardness of
this constant backing and filling? Can
not the roads of the South settle down
to something like constancy in this
matter, just as the Northern lines do?
Are we such a wretched set of outlaws
that nothing in our system can,
when found good, be permanent?
Is there no relief from impo
sition? Are the Southern roads at the
mercy of the Northern companies?
Must the Presidents of the Southern
roads sneeze every time some schedule
smasher beyond them jerks out his
souff-box’ There is blame somewhere,
aud the public would like to have it
located. It is said that a knowing
Englishman, while living in Paris,
always stipulates With his landlady
that he shall be informed, the first
thing in the morning, under what form
of government he is living, because a
change of government in France comes
often and mysteriously. We have the
advantage of France in one thing, and
that is the frequency of our railway
schedule changes; so much so, that any
one would suppose that members of the
Legislature who are paid so much a
day to destroy the symmetry of the
map of Georgia, by mutilating county
lines, had, during the recess of the
General Assembly, been hired by the
railway companies to make schedules
and bedevil them, according to their
patent and approved form.
Government Expenditure. —The New
York Bulletin argues, with great force,
that the expenses of the Government
can be reduced many millions, without
obstructing the wheels of progress.
The heads of reduction, as indicated by
Mr. Randall, Chairman of the Commit
tee on Appropriations, are these :
The Army.. ... .. ■
Department of Justice
The sundry civil bill
Rivers tnu harbors i,oou,uuo
A correspondent of the Courier -
Journal, treating of this reform, says.
“There can be no doubt of the power
of the House to effect these reductions.
The Senate can kill a bill to reduce the
taxes, and probably would do so; but
the House can say to Grant, ‘Take this
appropriation, or do without.’ ’
O. A. U.—The New York Herald gives
a full exposure of what it terms the
thiid term conspiracy, which is engi
neered by an oath-bound organization
styled the “Order of American Union.
According to the Herald, Grant, Blaine
find Jewell have been sworn in.
Gov. Chamberlain and Whipper and
Moses.
The refusal of Gov. Chamberlain to
sign the commissions of Whipper and
Moses was a bold act. It may compel
the Legislature to revise its action as
to these two men, leaving the Governor
master of the situation. In case he
gains his point, the moderate Republi
cans will point to their work and de
clare that they are capable of reform
within their own ranks and therefore
the uprising of the Democratic party,
which was held as such a terrible
menace over the heads of Elliot & Cos.,
may be indefinitely postponed. It may
be counted upon with something like
certainty that Gov. Chamberlain and
his allies of the press will not permit
the organization of the Democracy in
South Carolina, if they can help it, and
a successful flank movement, like that
upon Whipper and Moses, will act as
soothing syrup upon the Conservatives.
If the black Radicals force the issue
upon Chamberlain, and essay to over
throw him, matters will become com
plicated, and may end in a political
revolution. As the case stands, it
would seem that the Governor has the
whip-hand. Should this surmise prove
true, the Democratic paraphernalia, so
conveniently brought forward as a
bugaboo, will be returned to the nooks
and corners of South Carolina from
which it was reluctantly lugged.
Should this little game be played, and
another outrage similar to that of the
Whifper-Moses election take place, in
due course of events, even the threat
of organizing the Democratic party
will not intimidate them. We
await with some curiosity the devel
opment of this matter. The Columbia
Register calls upon the people of the
State to organize Democratic clubs.
Will the Chamberlain organs echo that
call, or are we to be told that the Gov
ernor, who uttered a flue speech at the
miscegenated university the other day,
has made such a course unnecessary,
aud that, the present danger being
checked, it will be time enough for
white South Carolinians to become
Democrats when outrages upon the
part of the black Radicals are repeated
to such au extent that even worms
would turn upon and sting them ?
If the white people of South Carolina
sfiall be lulled to sleep again, by Gov.
Chamberlain and his potent auxiliaries
on the State press, they will fiud it
hard work to redeem themselves, on
some future occasion, even under the
spur of another outrage from the
Elliott gang of conspirators. We see
that the Charleston bankers have given
the Governor much comfort, and the
rank and file may follow suit. Mr.
Chamberlain deserves credit for the
stand he has taken; but the
organization of Democratic clubs should
go on all the same. We can well re
member when Judge Carpenter was
glorified in the same way; but his
subsequent course has in no way com
ported with the amount of adulation he
received from the bench, bar, banks
and presses of South Carolina. It may
be tiiat Gov. Chamberlain contemplates
a species of coup d'etat in favor of
Democracy; but the chances are that
he will endeavor to kill that kind of
organization, by a tremendous effort
at making Republicanism respectable.
In this endeavor he has most
powerful aids, even in the Con
servative ranks, and if good
care be not taken*the call of the Co
lumbia Register for the organization of
Democratic Clubs will be like Owen
Glexdower’s evocation of spirits from
the vasty deep. Never was there such
a chance for the white people of South
Carolina to redeem themselves, if they
comprehend the magnitude of the
crisis and its splendid opportunities ;
and never were the white people so
much in danger of a betrayal of their
cause as at this very moment.
Caught. —A Boston paper, the Watch
man and Reflector, says in one of its
editorial columns that dishonest men
are rejoicing at the escape of Tweed,
and in another remarks: “We are glad
that Tweed has run away.”
That Amendment. —The Philadelphia
Inquirer, endorsing the Randall
Amendment, says: “A President who
understood that he could not be re
elected would devote his term of offi
cial life to the study of statesmanship,
instead of the trickery of politics. He
would have only himself and the peo
ple to serve, and he could best serve
himself by serving them.”
Shocking. —The Washington Chroni
cle says Senator Gordon’s friends are
complaining that every fence, every
rock, and every stable, from Manassas
Junction to Pensacola, is decorated
with this legend, in flaming red flannel
letters: “Try Pendleton’s Liver Reg
ulator—The Hon. J. B. Gordon Uses it.”
O’Conor. —The Courier-Journal says:
“Charles O’Conor has been getting
better ever since a friend read the
President’s message to him last week.”
That kind of medicine would have
killed an ordinary sick man. Mr.
O’Conor ought to keep Grant’s pic
ture in his pocket-book as an elixir of
life.
A New Paper.— We have received the
first number of anew journal called
the New Orleans Democrat. It is
edited by Hon. Robert Tyler, who was
for many years connected with the
Montgomery Advertiser. This new
candidate for popular favor is ably con
ducted hut badly printed.
The Army. —The World says: “Un
less it is to overawe the Southern
States and to manufacture voters, there
is no necessity to-day for a standing
army of 25,000 men, costing the tax
payers about .$40,000,000 per annum.
It should be reduced to at most 15,000
men. And with this reduction of the
line of the army, the entirely too large
general staff, including the general
officers, should be reduced.”
An Irishman was brought up before
a justice of the peace on a charge of
vagrancy, and was thus questioned:
“What trade are you?” “Sure, now,
yer honor, I’m a sailor!” “You a
seafaring man? I question whether
you have ever been to sea in your life!”
“Sure, now, and does your honor think
I came over from Ireland in a waggin?”
“Buncombe.”
Certain sensitive Republicans have
been very much afraid that the “Con
federate Brigadiers” in the House of
Representatives would so control the
patronage of that body that the dis
abled Union soldiers now employed
would have to make way for a hungry
crowd of “ex-rebels” so long exiled
from the public crib. So to set the mat
ter at rest a patriot from the State of
Illinois, of course a Republican, lately
introduced a resolution, that “wounded
Union soldiers, not disabled from the
performance of duty, shall be prefer
red” in all appointments under the offi
cers of the House. A correspondent of
the World, curious to see how many
such disabled soldiers were so em
ployed under the Republican officers
of the last House, aud whose
official heads were supposed to
be iu jeopardy, after careful search,
discovered that of the three or four
hundred of such employes, only eight
of them were Union soldiers, and some
of them had not been wounded. The
rest, of course, were political hacks and
hangers on of loyal Congressmen, who
fight nobly about election time at the
primary meetings.
As somebody says of Pecksniff,
“Drunk or sober, he is Pecksniff; in
rain or shine, he is Pecksniff; from his
hat to his boots, he is always Peck
sniff.” So it is with the Republican
party. When putting the South under
the bayonet, they are passing resolu
tions for the disabled soldier; when
settiug whiskey rings in motion, and
establishing freed men’s banks, they are
passing resolutions; when they are set
tiug up Governors and investigating
elections in certain States of this Union,
they are passing resolutions. In sea
son and out of season, drunk or sober,
in the majority or not, they never for
get to pass resolutions for the poor dis
abled soldiers. Oh, patriotism! what
crimes are committed in thy name!
An Opium Eating Woman.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette, writing of the Indiana female
prison and the success in managing
prisoners of the matron, Mrs. Smith,
says:
One old woman in the female prison,
Mrs. Fannie Morris, had been an opium
eater for twenty years. While living
at Acton she sold everything in her
house for opium. Even the bread upon
the table, the feathers iu her pillow,
aud the very clothes upon her back
were sacrificed. Her husband was com
pelled to abandon her and take the
children with him. When all was gone,
she began to steal articles of clothing
and sell them. The wardrobe of the
notorious Mrs. Rabb, who married a
rich old farmer at Waverly, and swin
dled him out of $30,000, bought many
an ounce of laudanum. All of Fannie’s
neighbors contributed their quota of
Monday’s washing. So terrible was
her appetite that for two weeks prior
to her arrest for grand larceny she
swallowed one hundred grains of
opium per day. According to De
Quincy’s calculations iu his Confessions
of au Opium Eater, this would be equal
to two thousand five hundred drops of
laudanum, or one hundred teaspoons
ful, while Dr. Buchan, in his Domestic
Medicine, says, “Be particularly careful
never to take above five and twenty
drops of laudanum at once.” At one
time DeQuincy took as high as three
hundred and twenty grains per day.
“Strange as it may sound,” he says, “I
had, a little time before this, (1816) de
scended suddenly, and without any con
siderable effort, from three hundred
aud twenty grains of opium (that is
eight thousand drops of laudanum) per
day to forty grains, or one-eighth
part.”
But Mrs. Morris did better than this.
Sbe descended suddenly from one hun
dred grains to nothing, for after com
ing here Mrs. Smith refused to allow
her so much as a drop. For a time
death seemed likely to ensue. Faint
ing fits seized her ; the limbs became
cold, and the eyes lost their lustre. —
The struggle of De Quincy, as he paints
it, was not more desperate. But very
soon reason returned, and in two
months she thanked Mrs. Smith for
being firm in her refusal. Mrs. Morris
is now in good health, but the wrinkled,
shriveled features, the sunken eyes
and the shattered mind, show how
thoroughly disease got in its work.—
She has been well educated and in her
youth, it is said, was very pretty.

Wood Given Away!
ANY FARMER TWENTY MILES FROM
Market will give you as much Wood
as you wish, if ho choses to. I don’t in
tend to give away any, but I will sell it SO
CHEAP the poorest of you will feel like
having Roast Turkey for Christmas. I
have made arrangements f r keeping a
full supply of the best Oak and Pine Wood
at my Coal Yard. If you wish any kind of
Wood or Coal, I will sell it to you VERY
LOW. If your credit is good, you can pay
your bills whenever 1 choose to call for
them. If it is not good you can pay when
yon leave your order, and then sleep
soundly and eat heartily, untroubled by a
little debt for fuel. It’s a pity some of you
in search of anew sensation would not try
paying vour debts, “just for once.” Try
it ami see how pleasant it is.
