AUGUSTA. O-A,:
Thursday Morning, Defc. 30, 1875.
Woman Suffrage at the South—A Way
Out of the Woods.
A gentleman by tbe name of Fowleb
iLflicts upon Hon. Alexander H. Ste
phens, if he ever reads it, a two-column
letter in the New York World, in ad
vocacy of woman suffrage at the South.
This crafty Fowleb, considering his
political work finished by the adoption
of the Fifteenth Amendment, has re
tired from the editorial columns of a
Radical newspaper and betaken him
self to the quiet retreat afforded by
the sanctum of Moore’s Rural New
Yorker. Mr. Fowler's opinion of this
question as an original proposition no
where appears, and as to that, unfor
tunately, we are left in the dark ; but
in his letter he advocates it solely upon
the necessity of having a counter
irritant to negro suffrage, and thereby
preventing misgovernment.
Having.been an earnest advocate of
Radical reconstruction, he is candid
enough to admitJiis instrumentality in
bringing its subsequent evils upon us,
and in the fullness of his contrition he
hastens to say: “ Having helped you
into this scrape, it is only fair I should
help you out of it.” It is rather late
in the day for a gentleman of Mr. Fow
ler’s politics to force himself upon
our notice with offers to “ help us out
of it” In the dark hours of 1867-8-9
and ’7O, when “ a friend in need was a
friend indeed,” we would have been
very grateful for timely aid and com
fort, even from one responsible for
our condition; but since we have,
please God, worked out within our
selves our political salvation, we do
not hesitate to say to Mr. Fowler con
cerning his assistance, “we want none
of it.”
The Rep üblican party foreseeing it
would lose the election of 1868 if the
Southern white people were alone
allowed to vote, put the ballot into the
hand of the negro as a party measure
to increase the chances of Republican
success. Now when they find so many
negro voters cordially supporting the
Democracy in the interest of good gov
ernment, and that the only result
of Reconstruction has been to give the
South an increased Democratic repre
sentation in Congress, the wisdom o*
that policy is not so apparent as it was.
So, in order to mend the matter, a
scheming reconstructionist like Fowler,
with a mouthful of vain protestations
of love and affection for those whom he
has been trying to ruin, comes forward
with a sovereign balm for all our woes
in the shape of an amendment to the
State constitution allowing Dinah and
Sambo to form a line in front of the
ballot box and giving to the Southern
ladies the blessed privilege of march
ing in the rear, and besides that doing
jury, road and militia duty ad infinitum.
It is safe to say that we in Georgia
stand in need of no such remedy.—
Alone and unaided we have done away
with the practical evils of Radical re
construction. We have exchanged an
administration of corrupt scalawags
and thieving carpet-baggers for public
servants of our own choosing who re
present the worth, the intelligence and
the prosperity of the State.
The evil of Reconstruction has recoil
ed upon its authors. We have retained
the li{sle leaven of good, and that we
propose to keep. But if it were far
otherwise, we should hesitate long bo
fore advocating a measure of more
than doubtful expediency, at the invi
tation of one who proposes it only to
mitigate evils resulting from legisla
tion, of which he confesses himself to
have been an earnest advocate. If the
engineer has been hoisted by his own
petard, the best we can do for him is
to summon a coroner’s jury, and then
remove the corpse.
The Presidential Fitfht.
There is a prodigious effort being
made, within the Republican ranks, to
unload Grant for the next Presidency,
and take up Blaine or Bristow. Natu
rally, the East is for the one and the
West for the other. Grant probably
told the truth when he is reported to
have said, upon hearing of the ex-
Speaker’s dodge on the third term
resolution in the House, that he “ was
in nobody’s way.” Possibly believing
this, at all events, the President’s
friends will make war upon Bristow,
and, if they can, consign him to the
limbo of disappointed aspirants. Very
strong circumstantial evidence is now
being worked up to show that if Bab
cock is not innocent of whiskey ring
complications, Mr. Bristow is tarred
with the same stick. Indeed, the ex
traordinary sight of Babcock turning
State’s evidence against the Secretary
of the Treasury is on the bills for per
formance. '
Of one thing the rivals of Grant for
the Presidential nomination may be
assured, and that is no stone will be
left unturned to brush their heads into
the basket whenever the opportunity
is deemed a ripe and fitting one. Gen.
Grant never retires from a contest
under fire, and opposition only makes
him the more stubborn. We believe
that his course will be a plain one. He
has virtually intimated to his party
that he commands the situation; that
he can get the nomination if he wants
it; and that, in caae the party leaders
kick against this programme, he will
sink the whole Radical craft and
help the Democrats to regain power.
He is just the man to do this very
thing, if he has a mind to, and if pro
voked to it. Well do the leaders afore
said know this, and desperately are
they essaying to find out how Grant
may be persuaded to step aside and
yet remain faithful to the Republican
party. They have a serious problem
to solve, and, from the present outlook,
an impossible one.
Capt. JUnks. —According to the Ga
zette, a new Democratic organ in Wash
ington City, Col. Donn Piatt, editor of
the Capital, is Boss Shepherd’s chief
journalistic engineer and diplomatic
agent.
Learning to Cook.
Some days ago, a lady correspondent
of this paper, treating of matrimony,
rather mourned over the condition of
a matron who was supposed to know
something about the culinary depart
ment. For our part, we think it much
more to the credit of a woman to un
derstand the principles of good cookery
without having compulsion to drudge
over the kitchen fire, than to be lgno
rant’of this subject. In fact, the girl
who scorns such knowledge is not fit
to be the wife of a man in moderate
circumstances, and we very much
doubt her claims to being the spouse
of a Crcesl's. While gluttony and
sensual appetite are reprehensible,
it is of cardinal importance to
health and happiness that the
articles of food destined for the table
should be wholesomely prepared. We
fail to see what lowering of a woman’s
dignity there is in knowing how meats,
vegetables and bread should be treated
in order to be at once palatable and
nourishing. We fail to see why a wo
man of common sense should not take
pleasure in demonstrating to her hus
band, by a good meal of her superin
tendence, that sbe appreciates his bat
tle outside for the common welfare of
the family, and omits nothing to make
him pleased with his own home, in
stead of seeking satisfaction at
a restaurant. Besides this, a know
ledge of the art of cookery on
the part of a wife without subjecting
her to enforced and menial employ
ment, is ono of the best ways of econo
mizing. If the larder and the meals
are to be left entirely to the discretion
(heaven save the mark !) of the ordina
ry run of servants, there will be not
only extravagance, pilfering, waste and
indigestible dinners, but a long train of
evils, culminating in chronic discon
tent. French women contrive to be
beautiful in person and charming in
manner long after their youth has
passed, and yet they not only adminis
ter every department of their house
holds, but attend to the minutest items
thereof. They manage to make their
tables and homes attractive, thereby
keeping peace in the family, and they
save money in every available manner,
more by knowing how to make a little
go a long way than by anything else.
We believe that this important knowl
edge should become a part of every
girl’s education, and that such a girl will
be better fitted for a happy marriage in
consequence.
We notice that a cooking school has
been established in Boston and is a
great success. A correspondent of a
Northern paper thus writes : It is
under the management of a company
of iadies, who hire the rooms and see
that the cook teacher is competent.
Then lessons of two hours each are
given to classes of two, three or four,
or to a single pupil, as the learners pre
fer. The terms are 815 for ten lessons,
I believe. The pupils do the cooking
themselves under the direction of the
teacher, and may, if they like, eat what
they cook. Many of the classes are
composed of middle-aged ladies who
are excellent housekeepers, but go to
the cooking-school to learn how to
make certain delicious and ornamental
dishes, in which the teacher excels.
The school has no publicity, and its
classes are formed and waiting long
before they have the opportunity to go.
The results are excellent, and I think
every city would find such a school
would be well supported.”
It may do well enough for some of
the fair sex to expect that wedded life
is to be a kind of poet’s dream ; but we
feel satisfied that the majority of young
girls know that it has a serious aspect,
which may be made a happy one or not,
as they have been properly trained to
meet its responsibilities. Every girl
has her mother’s life before her. She
sees for herself that that mother has
41
had to endure many trials, and,
in the common order of nature, the
cross borne by the parent must
be transferred to the child. But the
best lesson a mother can teach her
child, one day to marry, is that virtue,
industry and economy are the brightest
attributes; and, if that child be not
wedded to a brute indeed, true happi
ness, amid a thousand ordeals, will be
found in not slighting even the least of
domestic trusts.
Effect of Speculation. —The Balti
more Sun explains why foreign ex
change has been ruling so high of late!
It says : “ The cotton movement con
tinues active, and both receipts at the
ports and shipments are unusually
large; but with this as the only source
for bills, the supply has fallen behind
the demand. Grain cannot be export
ed, because there are several specula
tive combinations which are interested
in keeping the price up, the result be
ing that the American market is higher
than the foreign markets. It is esti
mated that fully ten million bushels of
wheat are held at the port of New York
by the combination or clique which has
undertaken to control the supply of
No 1 wheat, on the calculation that the
proportion of No. 1 wheat to the re
mainder of the crop is so small that in
time there must be a very high price
for it. Thus far this calculation has
been at fault, and the exchanges as
between here and Europe have been
deranged.”
Hard Pan. —The American Grocer
sums up the business situation as fol
lows ; “ Having touched bottom or
thereabouts, with heavy crops, with
the real wealth of the country continu
ally augmenting, with our exports in
creasing and the markets of the world
opening to our industries, with our de
pendence on foreign countries growing
less and less—is it extravagant to hope
that a prosperous future, a time such as
we have never yet seen, is before us,
and apart from the influence of the
hour, is this not enough to make
Christmas happy and the new year one
of hope and promise ?”
Kentucky. —An election for United
States Senator will take place, next
month, in Kentucky. Among the can
didates are the present Senator, Gov
ernor Stevenson, ex-Representative
Beck, General Williamson, Governor
Leslie, and others.
Keeping Christmas.
The common custom of celebrating
Christmas by riotous behavior has elic
ited sharp criticisms from the London
press, and rather a mild rebuke from
Rev. Dr. Dix, the rector of Trinity
Church, New York. The New York
Times, joining in with these protests,
says : “In old times the merry-making
was reserved for the day before or day
after Christmas, and at any rate the
early part of the day was observed
even more closely than Sunday. Mr.
Dickens, however, came along with his
lackadaisical pictures of Trotty Tecks,
Old Scrooges, Tiny Tims, and all the
rest of them, and proved to the satis
faction of the public that any man who
did not eat and drink twice as much as
was good for him on Christmas Day,
and make everybody around him do
likewise, was a miserable curmudgeon,
who deserved to die in a ditch. Who
would refuse a poor man a glass of
rum or whiskey on Christmas Day ?
Nobody but a wretched skinflint. And
so, of course, the poor man gets his
glass—gets it more than once or twice;
and the effect of it is that intoxication
widely prevails, and that the newspa
per columns are adorned with the ac
counts of two or three murders.”
Dr. Dix contends that “ when the
sacred seasons of the Church degen
erate into mere occasions of social
amusement and rejoicing, their prime
object is defeated, and their value
gone.” We are strongly of opinion that
something should be done to correct
this great evil of turning Christmas
Day into a Bacchanalian feast, which
ends with tragic scenes. Anybody
would suppose, from the criminal rec
ord of the day, that the world was cel
ebrating the apparition of Moloch, in
stead of the advent of Christ.
Quite a Difference,— The Dayton
Democrat, by a little anecdote, shows
the diifference, with some people, be
tween insurance and taxation. It says:
“An insurance agent called into an
establishment on Main street the other
day, with a large account book under
his arm, and, walking up to the pro
prietor in a business sort of way, he
inquired: “ How’s business—how’s
stock?” “Oh, business is very, very
dull,” returned the tradesman. “ ’Pon
my word, sir, I haven’t got 8900 in the
house! Terrible dull!” And he paused
and looked inquiringly at his visitor.
“Only 8900?” said the insurance man
in surprise. “ ’Pon my soul, sir,” re
peated the dealer, “I don’t believe
there’s a dollar more—look for your
self,” and the man looked sad and
sighed. “Then, sir,” said the insurance
man, with a good deal of warmth,
“how does it come that your stock is
insured in our company for 81,500?
Eh ?” “Oh! ah! beg your pardon !”
exclaimed the dealer, in great confu
sion. I thought you was the tax man !
I was sure you was the tax gatherer,
or ’pon my soul I wouidn’t a-said that,
when in fact my stock is worth fully
88,000—look for yourself, sir.’ ”
Elections. — la the sixteen States
which have held elections this year, the
Democrats have an aggregate vote of
1,923,111, and the Republicans 1,907,-
293. The Democratic gain over last
year’s vote in the same States is 129,-
694.
LETTER FROM RUTLEDGE.
Lively Times —Christmas—A Pleasant
Festival—Sensible Farmers—lm
provements—Some Good in the New'
Schedule.
[Correspondence of the Constitutionalist.]
Rutledge, Dec. 27,1875.
We have had for some time back
lively times in this vicinity, in the way
of business. The cotton crop is about
all sold, and the money spent.
Christmas came in and passed off
very quietly. There was only one small
row between some negroes in which
the greatest harm done was a good hard
brick broken between a negro’s eyes,
drawing a little claret. There were
several in the crowd, who had been
taking too much “red liquor” and they
could not find out exactly who threw
the brick, and they became somewhat
boisterous, when some of the white citi
zens went in among them and ordered
them to be quiet or* disperse. They
simmered down and scattered in good
order. The blacks in this section are
very well behaved and easily con
trolled.
Mrs. Samuel P. Harris and Mrs. Lou
Campbell, assisted by the ladies and
gentlemen of Rutledge, got up one of
the prettiest Christmas trees, in the
church, I ever saw. It was richly laden
with about two hundred dollars worth
of nice presents for the children, and
many of the older inhabitants received
valuable gifts from friends. After the
delivery of the presents there was a
splendid repast of cakes, candies, fruits
and all the sweet things that could be
procured in the confectionery line.
Altogether it was a grand Christmas
festival. The ceremony was opened
with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Burress,
who prefaced the occasion with some
very appropriate remarks, explaining
to the little folks that all of this was
gotten up in honor and remembrance
of the birth of our Blessed Savior.
The farmers in this portion of the
State have sown very large crops of
wheat, which are looking well, and all
speak of planting corn extensively next
year. They are also engaging and get
ting up sorghum seed, preparatory to
making their own syrup. It seems to
be a general feeling among them to try
and make their own supplies in the fu
ture.
Rutledge is looking up considerably.
New buildings are goiDg up all around.
The County Surveyor has been here a
day or two running off town lots. The
Georgia Railroad owns a large tract of
land just in the centre of the business
portion of the town, which has been a
drawback to the building up of the
place. The company has just had it
laid off in building lots, which will be
sold at auction soon, and the place
built up. Parties are already picking
out choice lots, and no doubt there will
be some lively bidding on the day of
sale.
The late change in the schedule of
the day train gives the dinner house
here of both trains to this place. The
change also gives us the Augusta pa
pers nearly three hours sooner than
the Atlanta papers reach here, which
will give the Augusta papers a little
preference.
The weather has been very warm for
several days, with some rain. R.
The railroad problem of the day—
How can a conductor save 810,000 a
year on a salary of 81,200 ?
A Pennsylvania man has just got rid
of a roach that had been in his ear for
nineteen years. ’Ear, ’ear !
