AUGUSTA. O-A.:
♦§
Tuesday Morning, December 28.1875.
After the Holiday—Parents, Look to
Your Boys.
We are very sorry indeed that the
Christmas holiday did not pass peace
fully and without serious disaster.—
Three boys lost their lives, and two
are in a dread predicament conse
quent upon the death of their com
panions. Our local columns furnish
full particulars of the catastrophes we
aliude to. In two cases where lives
have been sacrificed, it is reported that
the boys who committed the deeds re
sulting so fatally were wild and reckless.
It is a general complaint that many of
the boys who are now growing up are
precocious in bad habits. We have
been informed that numbers of them
carry concealed weapons, and that
they are allowed a license, day
and night, which is driving them
to perdition. Parents should see
to this and curb it, for their own
sakes and for the welfare of their off
spring, let alone the safety 7 of society.
If it be true that parents are responsi
ble to God for the training of their
children, what a fearful record are
many of them making up, by permit
ting their offspring to defy all whole
some authority and become as convers
ant with wickedness at twelve years
of age as some men are supposed to be
at fifty. If something be not done to
restrain children from carrying
reading bad books and papers, and
frequenting evil company, there will be
grievous misery in many homes. The
bad boy makes the bad man, and the
bad man bruises his parents’ hearts,
disgraces their lives, and may consider
himself fortunate if he does not wind
up his career as an outcast sot and a
bloody criminal. If parents lose all
control over their children, the State
mav have to step in and protect the
gcrod elements from the depraved. It
would be a commendable thing for the
next General Assembly to appropriate
funds sufficient to establish a House of
Correction.
There are thousands of boys who
have little or no restraint imposed
upon them by their natural guardians,
and are, in consequence, becoming a
prodigious source of apprehension for
the future. One vile youth may cor
rupt hundreds, and when society be
comes poisoned at the very fountain
head, when its seed corn becomes rot
ten, the prospectis alarming and should
engage the attention of the philanthro
pise and the law-maker. 'The best
place to remedy 7 the evil is at home, in
the family circle. Let parents look to
their children and find out how far
they have been demoralized, and, when
necessary, apply a prompt and decisive
corrective. Unless they do so, their
grey hairs will be dragged down in
sorrow to the grave.
Let an inquiry be made into the
habits of the boys, and likewise into
the character of those with whom they
associate. Most shocking accounts of
youthful depravity reach us from all
sides. Jesse Pomeroy, the abominable
and fiendish boy-murderer, has con
fessed that constant reading of dime
novels drove him, by degrees, to assas
sination. His imagination was inflamed
and perverted by this infernal drivel,
and the story of his life reads more
like that of a demon than of a human
being. There are books and papers
worse than dime novels. How many
boys read these soul-destroying pro
ductions of a Satanic press; and, alas !
how many children have been first in
troduced to this vile literature by see
ing it at home, brought there by indis
creet parents ? If your boys carry pis
tols, take them away. If there be a
repetition of the offense, the culprits
should be taught by corporal punish
ment that they must be obedient. We
dare say the pastors of all the churches
could reveal sad experiences on this
line of youthful backsliding, and if they,
in conjunction with fathers and moth
ers, are impotent to reform the rising
generation, outraged Nature will not
fail finally to revenge the violation of
her law, which is also the edict of
Jehovah.
The State Treasurer.
We learn that the Hon. John W. Ren
froe. who has been recently appointed
by the Governor to fill the vacancy
caused by the retirement of the late
incumbent, is likely to have opposition
in the election by the General Assem
bly, which occurs in January. Of
course, such offices as the “ Treasurer
of Georgia ” do not usually go “ beg
ging,” and it would not surprise us that,
as the time draws near for the election,
a number of raw recruits will enlist for
the campaign. We think, however,
that any aspirant who runs against
the present incumbent will meet defeat,
no matter how formidable may seem
the influence and strength he may de
velop ; not because there are not many
worthy gentlemen who would fill the
office with credit to themselves and
honor to the State, but of the peculiar
fitness of Mr. Renfroe for the position
to which he has been appointed.
In addition to a high character for
ability and sterling integrity, this
gentleman brings to his aid a ripe ex
perience in the financial affairs of this
State, for he has long occupied the
position of Assistant Comptroller-Gen
eral ex-officio, the duties of which posi
tion have given him an insight into and
intimate acquaintance with the business
of the treasury, and familiarized him
with the details so necessary and im
portant to be understood by any one
selected to discharge the duties of this
high and important trust.
It was such considerations among
others which mainly controlled his
Excellency the Governor in making
this appointment, and which have
made it so acceptable to the people at
do not think therefore any
change is desirable-and especially in
view of the present confused state of
the office. We think it would be both
unsafe and unwise to make it.
“Higher than Party.”
Iu answer to the congratulations of
the Charleston bankers, Gov. Cham
berlain says the “issue rises higher
than party.” Maybe so, but that is no
reason w 7 hy the Democracy should not
forthwith organize and ask Republi
cans who “rise above party,” like Mr.
Chamberlain is supposed to do, to help
them redeem the State. The Radicals
have been helped enough by the Con
servatives ; now let there be a turn
about, and under Democratic auspices,
the opponents of black Radicalism, of
whatever political creed, may rally to
a common centre for the overthrow of
Elliott and his Dahoman policy. The
Cincinnati Gazette shrewdly says :
“Recent events have left Gov. Chamber
lain without any rarty. His use of the
veto, and of his influence against the legis
lative abuses, got him the ill-wiil of the
blacks and those who are with them, and
now the Conservatives see no way but to
f ill back on the reorganization of the De
mocratic party. This will be a contest of
the Democratic party against the blacks,
with the blacks in the majority in the State,
and in large majority in all tne low coun
try. Yet we have seen the power of white
discipline and courage under similar cir
cumstances, and we regard the drawing of!
the color line as unfortunate for the blacks.
If the Governor is without a party,
let him aid the Democracy, just as
many well-meaning Republicans in
Mississippi did. By no other pro
gramme than that of Mississippi can
South Carolina hope for anything like
immediate deliverance. The sooner
she understands that and proceeds to
the work of organization, the better
for her.
We have been, in this connection,
much struck with Gov. Chambrlain’s
telegram to the Charleston New Eng
land Society at their annual banquet re
cently. Here it is :
I cannot attend your annual supper to
night, but if there ever was an hour when
the spirit of the Puritans, the spirit of un
dying, unconquerable enmity and defiance
to wrong ought to animate their sons it is
t his hour, here in South Carolina. Ihe
civilization of the Puritan and the Cavalier,
of the Roundhead and the Huguenot is in
peril. Courage, determination, union and
victory must be our watchwords. The grim
Puritans never quailed under threat or
blow. Let their sons now imitate their ex
ample. God bless the New England So
ciety. D. H. Chamberlain.
It.may not be impertinent to ask what
brought about the wrongs of South
Carolina. Did the Puritans who came
into that commonwealth with Chamber
lain have nothing to do with it? Did
they not, on the contrary, band the
blacks into a political machine for the
perpetration of these gigantic wrongs ?
Was not Mr. Chamberlain himself the
intellectual head and front of offend
ing ? And now when the monster cre
ated by this Frankenstein plagues his
creator, we are coolly told that “the
civilization of the Puritan and Cavalier
is in peril.” Well, if Gov. Chamberlain
and the reform Republicans of South
Carolina propose to help the State
they ruined, let them aid and assist
the uprising of the Democratic party.
We greatly fear that this is the very
last thing they really intend to do.
Hence the white people of South Caro
lina need not depend too much on the
Governor and too little upon them
selves. The prime peril of South Car
olinians, at this moment, is being de
ceived by a trumpery show of brave
words from the Governor and his or
gans, and so lulled into a se
curity which may be at once false and
deadly. It is certainly about time
that some native of South Caro
lina, who has not bowed the knee to
Baal, should eome to the front and
rally his people to such an effort as
that of Mississippi. The civilization of
the Carolinas in ante helium days pro
duced great men. Since the irruption
of Chamberlain and his civilization, the
fecundating power of the stock seems
to have suspended operations. Du
ring one of the debates in the French
Assembly, while the German was thun
dering at the gates of Paris, an orator
exclaimed : “ Where are the illustrious
men of France?” A wise wag in the
gallery sarcastically responded: “In
brass and marble.” God forbid that
this should be stated of South Carolina.
m ■ w
A Revelation.— The Boston Adverti
ser gives the real facts relative to the
lately reported sales of Fall River
(Mass.) made fabrics in English mark
ets. According to the statement of
that journal, “the Fall River mills have
not sold any goods to go to Manches
ter, England. Their agent who went
there reported what he thought they
could net for some goods should they
make the experiment, and the mills de
cided to make about twenty-five thou
sand pieces and send them out on their
own account. The goods are to be
twenty-six inches wide. Good judges
say there is no prospect of any outlet
for print cloths in Manchester, unless
at much lower prices. This statement
concurs with the views of most New
York merchants in the trade, viz., that
there is little, if any, chance of compe
ting with the English manufacturers
directly in their country, and that the
only successful competion that is even
possible is in the markets to which the
English are exporting their products.”
Barbarism. — The St. Louis Globe-
Democrat attributes what it calls the
barbarism of the duel in the South to
the non-performance of duty by the
press. So far as we can judge, this is
a slander. The press of Augusta has
been no laggard in this respect. Worse
crimes than duelling are perpetrated
at the East and West. The Globe-
Democi'at and kindred sheets do not
prevent the cropping out of horrible
and sometimes beastly infractions of
the decalogue. At present the frauds
of the whiskey ring envelop St. Louis,
despite of the Globe-Democrat; and
some say worse things than that.
Anybody would suppose from the
moralizing of Eastern and Western
papers that no crime was committed
within reach of their circulation, when,
in point of fact, it is rampant there.
Schurz.— lt now said that Carl
Schurz owns up to having written
speeches for members of Congress who
couldn’t write them for themselves.
Some clever scholars, at Washington,
make an elegant support by furnishing
the |brains for Congressional Solons,
so-called.
Bishop Haven Again.
Not satisfied with nominating Grant
for a third term, at a Sunday school
union, or praying that he might be so
nominated, Bishop Haven comes to the
fore again on the same line. In the
columns of the Independent he explains
the ways of Omnipotence and asserts as
a fact that “God has selected Grant for
the work of renewing the land.” He
also assumes to be intimate with the
Lord and, perfectly familiar with His
decrees. Hear him:
Had Wilson thrown his mighty influ
ence on the side of the President; had he
cordially supported the reconstruction
measures still needed to insure liberty and
safety to our land and to the late and not
yet freed slave; had he helped pass the
“Force bill” and the education bill and the
marriage bill, and other bills necessary to
secure equal rights to all, he would have
been alive to-day. But he put himself
against these demands of God and the
hour, and was not, for God took him.
The fate that overtook Wilson was,
according to this clerical mountebank,
the same that whelmed Chase, Gree
ley and Sumner. According to this,
Grant has the gift of the evil eye, and
everybody who dares, withiu the Re
publican ranks, attempt to thwart
him and his designs, must expect some
stroke of fate, followed by a removal
from the world, for political purposes.
We judge, too, that the Almighty, as
pictured by Bishop Haven, has a spe
cial interest in the Republican party as
interpreted by Grant and his prophet,
and it will be a daDgerous thing for any
conspicuous personage to attempt the
salvation of the country by opposing
Centralists like Morton and his mas
ter. The Methodist church of the
North should make haste to cut itself
loose from this old miscegenationist
and arrant blasphemer. Meanwhile, it
is something to be informed that
Brooks’ cane did not kill Sumner, and
that Greeley and Wilson died by a re
fusal to keep up a diet which revolted
even their abolition stomachs, if not
their fanatical souls.
Gen. Sherman’s Spout.
We publish elsewhere the capital ar
ticles of the Baltimore Gazette and
Richmond Dispatch, rebuking General
Sherman for his bombastic and threat
ening speech at New York, during a
dinner given in commemoration of
Plymouth Rock. Gen. Sherman is
gradually approaching the condition of
Falstaff when he hacked the dead
body of Hotspur. For our part, we
care very little what Sherman says,
since he publicly confessed that he de
liberately and basely lied about Gen.
Wade Hampton.
Third Term.— Some of our exchanges
are retailing, as a bit of history, that
Jefferson was formally nominated to
the Presidency for a third term by the
Legislatures of Massachusetts, Ver
mont and Rhode Island. He promptly
declined the nomination.
Christmas — The most pathetic edito
rials in the New Orleans papers, about
this time, refer to kind remembrances
of friends.
Disagreeable Reading for Beer Drink
ers.
[Sanitarian for January.l
The worst results from accidents in
the London hospitals are said to be
draymen. Though they are apparently
models of health and strength, yet, if
one of them receives a serious injury,
it is nearly always necessary to ampu
tate, in order to give him the most dis
tant chance of life. The draymen have
the unlimited privilege of the brewery
cellar. Sir Ashley Cooper was once
called to a drayman, who was a power
ful, fresh-colored, healthy-looking man,
and had suffered an injury in his finger
from a small splinter of a stave. The
wound, though trifling, suppurated.
He opened the small abscess with his
lancet. He found, on retiring, he had
left his lancet. Returning for it, he
found the man in a dying condition.
The man died in a short time. Dr. Gor
don says: “The moment beer-drinkers
are attacked with .acute diseases they
are not able to bear depletion, and.die.”
Dr. Edwards says of beer drinkers :
“Their diseases are always of a dan
gerous character, and in case of acci
dent, they can never undergo even the
most trifling operation with the se
curity of the temperate. They most
invariably die under it.” Dr. Buchan
says, “Malt liquors render the blood
sizv and unfit for circulation; hence pro
ceeds obstructions and inflammation of
the lungs. There are few great beer
drinkers who are not phthisical, brought
on by the glutinous and indigestible na
ture of ale and porter. These liquors
inflame the blood and tear the tender
vessels of the lungs to pieces,” Dr.
Maxson says, “intoxicating drinks,
whether taken in the form of ferment
ed or distilled liquors, are a very fre
quent predisposing cause of disease.”
The hospitals of New York show an
equally unfavorable record of the in
temperate, and private practitioners
everywhere have the same experience.
