Gljc Constitutionalist 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.
