COJS STITU T 1 ON ALI ST.
AUGUSTA. GIA.
SATURDAY MORNING. FEB. 5, 1870
“ GOVERNOR" BULLOCK’S MESSAGE.
We shall dismiss the long message of
“ Gov.” Bullock with a brief comraeut.
His main proposition is that the manipu
lation of Georgia, ala inode de Terry , be
came inevitable in consequence of the ex
pulsion of the negro members of the Legis
lature, which proceeding is declared to be
violative of the Congressional acts of Re
construction. We have proved over and
over again in these columns that this oust
ing of the negro members, so-called, did
not, in any particular, violate any of the
Reconstruction Acts; and we have again
and again challenged the proof. Assertion,
assumption and Gen. Terry's discretiona
ry bayonet came, but no rational proof
of violation. All who have honored us
with an attentive perusal will not fail to
recall the arguments employed on this
theme, and the challenge given, especially
to a writer in the New York limes.
Others who have not so honored ns will no
doubt feel very little interest in the repeti
tion of what must now be a useless contro
versy. We, therefore, drop this matter,
with the remark that, being fully con
vinced Mr. Bullock starts from a wrong
premise, we are equally satisfied that his
deductions are utterly false, however prac
tically successful the fraudulent issue may
be.
Mr. Bullock apparently has triumphed,
through the agency and instrumentality of
the Radical President, the Radical Con
gress, a swift witness and willing satrap,
and a besotted public sentiment at the
North. With what is called a “ consum
mation of Reconstruction” these props
must be to a great extent withdrawn. We
now contemplate the rise of “ Gov.” Bul
lock ; we shall, before many years, have
the supreme felicity of chronicling his ig
nominious fall. Our people may look for
that day with certainty, and we counsel
them to await it With patience, incorrupti
bility and faitli in the faith of the ultimate
victory of the Right over the Wrong.
Many may become discouraged, many may
falter and faint on the way-side ; but there
are many others in this noble State of
Georgia who will give Radicalism no
present tribute, and, if they do not go in
person, will send forth, in the coming
time, a breed of heroes to help bury it out
of sight forever.
MR. DAWES.
How long his ascendancy will last, it is
Impossible to sav, but, at present, the great
man of the country seems to be Mr.
Dawks, of Massachusetts, who has struck
terror to Grant and his Administration,
and caused a decided commotion in the
Beast Butler department of Radicalism.
So great appears the power of Mr. Dawes,
that even his political opponents are moved
with admiration, and confidently declare
that he can, If he so wills it, stop the ad
vance of proscription beyond the exactions
of the XVth Amendment. It is hard to
believe that this authority really resides in
Mr. Dawes, or that he will necessarily
stick to his opposition to the Administra
tion. Still, for the sake of those who are
hopeful of any good coming from such a
source, we are perfectly willing to humor
the expectation, for a season at least. We
are the more inclined to do so since our
strict-eonstruction brother of the Balti
more Gazette not only makes much of Mr.
Dawes’ pertinacity, but even prefers him,
by all odds, to Chief Justice Chase, in case
the bewildered Democracy shun a square
fight on principle and timidly run after
strange gods. We learn that this wonder
working man is “ five, feet eight in his
shoer,” and, thank God, does not squint.
He is likewise said to be free from trickery
and has no proclivity for theft. When
Beast Butler became aware of this last
peculiarity be boldly charged him with dis
loyalty, presuming, with much force, that
the Radical who does not have the instincts
of a robber cannot possess the soul of a
trooly loil man. Mr. Dawes is having his
sensational hour, as Sprague had his.
The collapse and catastrophe we fear will
be the same in both cases. But is it not a
shame to the Congressional Democracy that
a Massachusetts Republican has not only
taken the wind out of their sails, but abso
lutely, in a desperate case, is looked to as
a leader of the people against their tyrants?
AN IMPOSITION.
The simon-pure negroes of the South
should see to it that no more carpet-bag
gers of their own color, or its counterfeit,
are allowed to represent them iu the halls
Qf Congress or any other halls. They
should take some pride in putting forward
native candidates aud not allow the idea to
go abroad that they have to import black
talent to illustrate them and their aspira
tions. They should put a stop to this hum
bug of electing Northern negroes to office
at the expense of the original Southern
black man. More or less, this black carpet
baggery is manifested in every State. In
Virginia, negroes born on the soil are
thrust aside in order to make room for
Ohio blacks. Over iu South Carolina, a
Pennsylvania negro has been elected to a
Supreme Judgeship. In Mississippi, Revel,
another Ohio carpet-bagger, has been
sent to the United States Senate. And
so it goes on, to the shame and
discredit of our “ manner-born ” black
or colored people. We alluded, on yes
terday, to the claims of Hon. Aaron Al
prohia Bradley, late of Sing Sing, to
a Georgia Sonatorship. There are some
reasous why we still think him a very supe
rior candidate for that distinguished posi
tion. But, if a full-blooded and uncondi
tional Georgia negro can be found, who
will wear yellow kids and run for the place
soon to be vacated by Mr. Hill or Dr. Mil
ler, we shall recommend to all concerned
that the Hon Aaron Alpkoria Bradley
be dropped incontinently and his candidacy
filled by this native aspirant. Meanwhile,
in all seriousness, we think that carpet
baggery should play out among the blacks
as it has begun to play out among the
whites.
Mushrooms.— The Philadelphia Press re
cords that many of the Western cities that
sprang up so suddenly and flourished for a
year or two with a prosperity too brilliant
to be lasting, are ijovy utterly insolvent.
Galena, Illinois, in 1856, had property to
the valuation of over $2,000,000 ; it is now
assessed at half a million, and the city can
not pay the interest on a debt of $200,000.
A Powerful. Hint.—lt was a good idea
of the English Government to send the iron
clad Monarch with George Peabody’s re
mains. She has startled the Yankees with
her superior capacities for sailing apd fight
ing. As there are plenty mope like her in
Old England we shall hear no more of a
war with John Bull.
THE CONSERVATISM OF CAPITAL.
Capital is always conservative. When
capitalists arc about to invest their cash
they always look to contingencies of every
kind. Hence we see in the New \ork
stock quotations that all new bouds of the
Reconstructed States are vuliug much
lower than bonds issued before the war,
although the new issues pay the same rate
of interest as the old. Why so ? The
plain answer, it seems to us, is this: Shrewd
New York capitalists know that the Recon
struction Acts are contrary to law and
may, one day, be declared null and void.
Wherefore they require an additional slice
of the bond for the risk incurred and the
hazard run. Jimfiskism is a pretty good
barometer even in matters appertaining to
equal rights, progress, Puritan reform and
Terry tom-foolery.
Spicy.— Colonel Donn Piatt is very
much of a chameleon in politics, but he
has a pithy and picturesque way of put
ting things. Here is a graphic description
of Fisk, Jr., as he appeared before the
“Gold Corner” Committee: “Fisk, Jr.,
“rolled into the committee with the life
“ and uproar of a steam-tug. His short,
“ fat person was set off in the loudest of
“clothes. A diamond gleamed from his
“ cascade of white linen, like a head-light
“ from a locomotive, while a huge cable
“ gold chain fell in festoons from his neck,
“ as far down as that part of his person
“ where the leg ends aud the body begins.
“ His plaid pantaloons, of the most pro
“ nounced pattern, and the black velvet
“ jacket were of the sort, in the way of
“ costume, oue sees in low comedy upon the
“ stage.”
The same writer gives a curious reason
why Prince Arthur was not escorted to
church, last Sunday, by a band of music.
“ The bands were engaged in burying de--
“ ceased darkeys. All the brass bands of
“ Washington bury negroes in the daytime,
“ and serenade the Mayor at night.”
Terry’s Puppets. —The Columbus En
quirer very properly scolds some of the
members of the Legislature for not pro
testing in due form against Gen. Terry’s
outrages upon the established law. Our
contemporary then concludes his homily
thus:
“ It seems to us that the only course now
left them, by which they can interpose any
opposition to the speedy and successful car
rying out of the measures of Buliock and
Blodgett, is to resign in a body and leave
the Legislature without a quorum. But
we have hardly a hope that they will do
that.”
That would not stop Bullock ; but the
members could do many worse things than
absquatulating en masse,. While nine dol
lars a day have such irresistible charms,
there is no danger of any such move on the
part of our latter-day patriots. The “dem
nition cash ” is as good as a court plaster.
They’ll stick, depend upon it.
Progress.— lt is said that “ Gov.” Scott,
of South Carolina, in deference to the
prejudices of certain white Radical visitors
from the North, excluded negroes from his
parties. The high and mighty among the
black officials retaliated in kind by exclud
ing Scott and ail other so-called whites
from their entertainments. Their wrath
and revenge did not end with ice-cream and
sweet-potato exclusiveness. It began with
striking the word white from their suppers ;
it progressed further by humiliating poor
ex-Governor Our and elevating Wright
to the Judgeship ; it will probably end in a
Kilkenn3 r cat fight and such a “ fur-flying ’
as has not been witnessed in a half century.
Mad.— Mr. Wendell Phillips assumes
the privilege of mercilessly lashing other
people, but is as thin-skinned as a baby
himself. Very recently Mrs. Stanton, of
the Revolution, found fault with him. He
resented her criticism by a gross personal
insult. The Puritan Reformers of New
England are only brave in words. Even a
woman’s bodkin puts them to flight or ex
poses their shameful vulgarity.
Can’t Stand It.— General Sherman says
“ Mississippi is so Radical that Jefferson
Davis can not stand it.” The whole coun
try may be too hot for Tecumseh Sher
man, one of these days
Very Good. —The Democratic soldiers,
East and West, are forming organizations
to counteract the Grand Army of the Re
public. That looks like business.
The Fourteenth Amendment.
Section 1. All persons born or natural
ized in the United States, and subject to
the juris fiction thereof, are citizens of the
Uuited States and of the State wherein they
reside. No State shall make or enforce any
law which shall abridge the privileges or
immunities of citizens of the United States;
nor shall any State deprive any person o r
life, liberty or property, without due pro
cess of law, nor deny to any person within
its jurisdiction the equal protection of the
laws.
Sec. 2. Representatives shall be appor
tioned among the several States according
to their respective numbers, counting the
whole number of persons in each State,
excluding Indians not taxed ; but when
ever the right to vote at any election for
electors of President and Vice-President of
the United States, representatives in Con
gress, executive and judicial officers, or the
members of the Legislature thereof, is de
nied to any of the male inhabitants of
such State, being twenty-one years of age,
and citizens of the United States, or in any
way abridged except for participation in re
bellion, or other crime, the basis of repre
sentation therein shall be reduced in the
proportion which the number of such male
citizens shall bear to the whole number of
male citizens twenty-one years of age in
that State.
Sec. 3. No person shall be a Senator or
Representative in Congress, elector of Presi
dent or Vice-President, or hold any office,
civil or military, under the United States,
or any State, who, having previously taken
an oath as a member of Congress, or as an
officer of the United States, or as a member
of any State Legislature, or as an executive
or judicial officer of any State, to support
the Constitution of the United States, shall
have engaged in insurrection or rebellion
against the same, or given aid or comfort
to the enemies thereof; but Congress may
by a vote of two-thirds of each House, re
move such disability.
Sec. 4. The validity of the public debt of
the United States, authorized by law, in
cluding debts incurred for the payment of
pension J . and bounties for service in sup
pressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not
be questioned ; but neither the United
States nor any State shall assume or pay
any debt or obligation incurred in aid of
insurrection or rebellion against the United
States, or claim for the loss or emancipa
tion of any slaves ; but all such debts, obli
gations, or claims, shall be held illegal and
void.
Sec. 5. The Congress of the United States
shall have power to enforce, by appropriate
legislation, the provisions of this article.
Startling Statistics.— Senator Patter
son, of New Hampshire, in his speech be
. fore the Congressional Temperance Society
Sunday afternoon, said if all the whisky
was placed every year in the National
Treasury, it would liquidate the public
debt in iess thau a decade of years.
It is proved that America has 500,000
inebriate citizens, 25,000 of whom are sac
rificed yearly at the altar of intemperance.
The vice of intemperance recruited from
the ranks of the fairest and most promis
ing, the strongest and the best, dragging
them do-wn gradually.
[Bpectal Corrotpoudenee Constitutionalist.
From the State Capital.
Atlanta, February 2,1870.
The foul deed is done. The puppet show
has* closed for awhile. The forms of law
have been complied with—the XVth Amend
ment has been adopted, and the Legisla
ture, now, quietly enjoying its ver diem , is
awaiting, machine-like, the caprice of its
masters at Washington.
A serene and cloudless sky—a sweet mild
Spring-like day, and the sunshine with its
flood of tender light falling caressingly
upon the Capitol spoke not of the wretched
scene within its walls. Neitherdid thesame
radiant smile of Nature tell of the despair,
in a neighboring house, of a noble Georgia
matron whose bright and noble son had
yielded up the ghost to the assault of Pal
lida Mors. Yet within the walls of each
building sat in grim, mute despair, a
mother—in the one Georgia ; in the other, a
Georgia matron.
It was really wonderful with what ce
lerity it was all done—not wonderful
either. The Legislature, so-called, was
packed, the machine welL oiled, all the in
struments in their placet*, and, with reck
less engineers to drive, it ceases to be won
derful.
What recked they of the ruin of the
beautiful governmental pile, the chef diucuvre
of governmental science, provided they
obeyed the will of their masters arid ob
tained the “ spoils ?”
O’Neal, of Lownde3, who now has the
lead of the Radicals in the House, acted
the part of chief henchman. He allowed
his underlings, Tweedy, C. O. Johnson and
Laue, of Brooks, to share some of the
glory, however. He moved the adoption
of the XlVtb Amendment, and resigned
the floor to Tweedy, who was to have the
exalted privilege of calling the previous
question. He likewise moved the adoption
of the “ fundamental conditions,” and al
lowed Johnson the immortal fame of call
ing the previous question. Debate was
thus cut off, aud with the quietness of
Geo. Johnson’s trained animals over the
way, the grizzled, the gray, the black, the
yellow, the spotted, yelled in unison at the
nod of their keeper. O’Neal looked like a
turkey cock witl; his tail slightly bowed,
strutting back and forth in view of the
more ordinary animals. Fitzpatrick, elat
ed with his recent valiant exploits in the
domain of Mars, sat near the Speaker’s
stand, and, with self-complacent and pa
tronizing look, as one of the proprietors of
the concern, seemed to be saying to him
self, “ Ain’t we some, Betsy, in a b’ar
fight ?” He constituted himself the prompt
er of the Speaker, and it was amusing to
witness the air of consequence with which,
out of his abundant store of know
ledge, he volunteered suggestions to
the Speaker. But the Speaker knew his
role perfectly, and while he had the un
blushing hardihood to declare that he knew
he had been acting arbitrarily, he sealed
his degradation by admitting that he was
merely the tool —the puppet—of others, his
masters. Some faint, glimpse of a better
nature, and remorse for his conduct, showed
itself, however, in his promise to act fairly
when he was free—relieved from his present
thraldom. In this “ Irish wake,” the old
turkey-cock and his chosen few were the
only ones allowed to be heard from the
black-and-tau side of the House. Harri
son, of Franklin, a speckled sort of darkey,
who has pretty good aping qualities, want
ed to be seen and heard, too, in this little
comedy ; but that was not a part of the
programme. He was snubbed by the Speak
er and not allowed to get the floor. He
didn't like the “white gemmans” making
all the fuss before his “cullud” lady
friends in the galleries, while he, and his
ilk, was merely the “ strange, dark back
ground.”
But so it was, and the map of Buliock
was nimbly traced out—the foreshadowing
of his policy of uprooting all the officers
elected by the General Assembly. He hopes
to glut liis reveuge upon Angier by turning
him nut, and get rid of Blodgett—the skele
ton in his closet—by sending him to the
Senate. But just there, I may mention
again, I fear lie will be thwarted by the
representatives of9o,oooconstituents. Brad
ley and Golden must go to the Senate. The
exquisite little drama will be. incomplete
without this, and it is to be hoped that
all lovers of harmony of design, and the fit
ness of things, will insist upon this conclu
sion. But there is still another difficulty
in the way of tins excellent etna-median in
his.struggle for fortune—if not for fame.
Hmv unfortunate that true merit is never
appreciated, and how sad that facile de
scensus aver ni.
GENERAL SHERMAN
is said to be bitterly opposed to the forced
organization of the Legislature, and de
rides the farce as a miserable mountebank
show. Oh ! senseless Sherman! You cruel
man! Not content with laying waste our
fair cities, and bringing desolation over
our smiling fields, you want to deprive us
of all that is left to make us forget our
woes—this pretty little farce, concocted
from the debris of our cotton and rice fields,
and the wrecks of our public gaols! Fie
on you ! Yet so it is, it seems, and a strong
effort is being made to carry Bullock’s
ideas a little further, and have an election
for Governor and Representatives, while
Bullock, shorn of his dignities and office,
is so sadly remind us of the “ Porochial
Beadle’’ whom the “unfeeling Council”
saw fit to deprive of his strutting import
ance.
THE APPLAUSE
of the Radicals, upon carrying their mo
tion for a recess till the 14th instant, indi
cated that they thought they had gained a
great point. What could that have been,
unless it was their delight at having time
to offer up their incense and burnt offerings
of a subservient Legislature, obsequious
Governor, a cowed people as pliant tools
for the purpose of working out the grand
central idea of Radicalism—Federal con
solidation? Such must be the case ; and it
was an affecting scene in the House to-day
when one old patriot arose and with solemn
voice and choked utterance, his gray locks
lending intensity to his despair, announced
that he gave his vote against the XVth
Amendment, fully believing that it was the
last respiration of State Rights and Consti
tutional Liberty.
Yes, old man ! we are no longer members
of a model Republic, but insignificant
parts of a vast despotism.
“ Let us have peace.”
Stgma.
A Profane and a Religious South
Carolina Legislator.— The spicy Colum
bia correspondent of the Charleston News
thus pictures a couple of Radical legisla
tors :
In the House to-day, a bill to compel
mill owners to keep in repair their mill
dams or bridges thereon was takeu up, and
a motion made to strike out the enacting
clause. On this motion, Morrison (color
ed) said, substantially : Mr. Speaker, wee’s
been ’scussing dis question some time, an’
if de mill dams ain’t worf a d—n, well den
dam me if I see de use of any longer ’scuss
ing de d—m subject, and- move to lay de
whole subject on de table. The Speaker
him to order for using profane lan
guage, and he began to apologize, when the
Speaker put the motion and it was adopted.
Religion.— On this subject, Speaker F.
J. Moses will deliver a lecture next Thurs
day night, for the benefit of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church of this place.
There will, doubtless, be a large audience.
It has been suggested, with a view of giv
ing all of Columbia’s citizens an opportu
nity of hearing the Speaker, that he repeat
his lecture, week after next, in Janney’s
Hall, and that he have scenic accessories.
First scene, Moses in the bulrushes ; sec
ond, Aide-de-Camp Moses clinging, amid

ing to the dizzy heights of fame, the high
est. pinnacle surmounted with a cap,
(which, if it fit, he will wear,) bearing the
inscription, “Lieutenant Governor of South
Carolina;” fifth, disappointed Moses tumb
ling headlong from the heights he essayed
to climb into the gulf of political and so
cial oblivion. With these scenes, and the
doubtless novel way the Speaker will have
of handling his subject, the lecture will he

IRRITABLE INVALIDS.
Indigest ion not only effects the physical health, but
the dispositions and tempers of Its victims. The
dyspeptic becomes, too, in a measure, demoralized by
his sufferings. He is subject to fils of irritation, sul
lenness or despair, as the case may be. A preter
natural sensitiveness, which be cannot control, leads
lnm to misconstrue the words and acts of those
around him, and his intercourse even with those
nearest and dearest to him is not unfrequently marked
by exhibitions of testiness foreign to his real nature.
These are the mental phenomena of the disease, for
which the invalid cannot be justly held responsible,
but they occasion much household discomfort. It is
to the interest of the home circle, It is essential to
family hatmony, as Well as to the rescue of the prin
cipal sufferer from a state not far removed fiom in
cipient insanity, that these symptoms of mental dis
turbance l>a promptly removed. This can only he
done by removing their physical cause, a derangement
of the functions of the stomach, and its allied viscera,
the liver and the bowels. Upon these three import
ant organs HostetUr’s Stomach Bitters act simulta
neously, producing a thorough and salutary change
in their condition. The vegetable ingredients of
which the preparation is compos and aro of a renova
ting, regulating and alterative, character, and thestim
ulaut which lends activity to their remedial virtues is
the purest and best that can be extracted from the
most wholesome of all cereals, viz : sound rye. No
dyspeptii can take this genial restorative for a single
week without experiencing a notable improvement in
his genera! health. Not only will his bodily suffer
ings abate from day to day, but his mind will recover
r.ipidly from its restlessness and irritability, and this
happy change will manifest itself in Ids demeanor to
a 1 around him. tchl-tfeb!s

B. A. FAHNESTOCK’S
VERMIFUGE.
Wav is it that so many children die under
the age ot five years ? That a large proportion
of children die under that age has long been a
subject ot remark, and without a satisfactory
cause ascertained, it Is certain.
Also, it is known that worms exist in the
human system trom its earliest infancy ; there
fore parents, especially mothers, who are more
constantly with their children, cannot be too
obseiving of the first symptoms of worms ; for
so surely as they exist, can they be
SAFELY AND CERTAINLY
removed from the most delicate infant, by the
timely use of
B. A. Fahnestock’s Vermifuge.
It is perfectly harmless, contains no Mercury,
being a
Purely Vegetable Composition,
Ami may be administered with the UTVIOBT
SAFETY TO CHILDREN OF ALL AGES.
W _m Confections, made more for the pur
pose of pleasing the palate than of overcoming
the disease, have been manufactured all over
the country, but their 6bort lease of life is
nearly exhausted, aud B. A. FAHNESTOCK’S
VERMIFUGE continues to grow in favor daily.
Caution.
Should occasion require von to purchase B
A. FAHNESTOCK’S VERMIFUGE, be careful
to see that the initials are B. A. This is the
article that has been so
FAVORABLY KNOWN SINCE 1829,
And purchasers must insist on having it, if they
do not wish to have an Imilatiou forced upon
them.
