CONSTITUTIONALIST.
AUQUBTA, GhA.
FEIDAY MORNING. JUNE 17.1870
THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
The recent reaction against Radicalism,
evinced by elections in Connecticut, New
York, Oregon and heal contests else
where, has had the effect of rousing the De
mocracy to unwonted efforts. In the same
ratio that the Democrats are jubilant the
Radicals grow despondent. The danger is
lhat too m«ch may be presumed upon the
crippled condition of our adversary. It
must never be forgotten that the Radical
party is immensely powerful; that it has
the vantage-ground now, and will have the
odds in the Fall. A considerable diminu-
tion of its overgrown majorities in the
Rouse of Representatives will be a great
triumph of itself, but anything beyond this
must not be too confidently expected. For
our part, we do sincerely believe that the
next Congress will be a very different af
fair from the present; but we are reluctant
to indulge hopes as rose-colored as some of
our Northern contemporaries. This sup
pression of enthusiasm is undoubtedly the
part of prudence, the more so as our people
Would be seriously affected by another sig
nal failure of their allies beyond the Border.
While, however, we stick to the deter
mination of not being over-sanguine of
success, at this early day, there is no rea
son why the calculations of our friends
should be ignored. The Albany (N. Y.)
Argun, for instance, believes that the Dem
ocrats can, with determined action, carry
the following States at the next elections :
New Hampshire, Texas,
Connecticut, Arkansas,
New York, Tennessee,
New Jersey, Kentucky,
Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Delaware, Indiana,
Maryland, Wisconsin,
Virginia, Minnesota,
North Carolina, Nebraska,
Georgia, Nevada,
Alabama, California,
Louisiana, Oregon.
If carried in the Fall, the Argun claims
that 116 members will be Democratic of the
174 to which these States are entitled.
These added to the members certain to be
carried in more doubtful Republican States
would give the anti-Radical column a large
majority in the lower House of Congress.
The New York Democrat scans the hori
zon with an equally flattering eye. New
England is restive, but her voting popula
tion is still too much under the thrall of
giant monopolies to be emancipated in a
few months. One member from New Hamp
shire and three members from Connecticut
are all that can be relied upon with any
certainty from the Puritan stronghold.
Gains are expected in the Middle States
from New York, New Jersey and .Penn
sylvania.
It. Is asserted »vith much emphasis that
the Western people have at last, awakened
to the frauds practiced in Congress by men
who pretend to represent them, but who
are in reality no better than Yankee car
pet-baggers and the emmissaries of East
ern protectionists. Great changes are
hoped for from the West, especially in Illi
nois, Indiana and Ohio.
A queer problem to be solved is South
ward. With anything like a fair election
a majority of the Southern States, in spite
of the negro vote, can return a great
majority of Democrats. How far the
Federal authorities will obstruct us the
future alone must decide. But the battle
is mainly to be fought North of us, and
upon its result will depend the issue South
ward. As times go, if the South sends
a Democratic delegation to Congress it
stands no chance of admission. With a
strong Democratic phalanx from the West
and Border in the XLIL Congress, there
will be a different state of affairs.

Democrat at a glance, the following tabular

Counting chickens before they are hatched
is not always a safe or satisfactory busi
ness. But, there are many reasons to expect
that the Radicals, if not beaten down to a
minority in the XLII Congress, will never
again rejoice in their present overwhelming
preponderance.
Downing.—The Washington corre
spondent of the Baltimore Gazette relates
this incident:
“ Talking of that, Dowuing, the saddle
tinted caterer under the Cave, who pro
motes Congressional ill-temper through
his fried, stewed and boiled indigestion,
boasted in a speech to a crowd of Bowen
thieves, that he had Irish blood in his
veins. This was too much for Paddy
whack. He had marched on foot in a
negro procession, that had a colored mar
shal to command him on horseback, be
cause his two dollars a day depended on
his compliance ; but when it came to this
boast he could not stand it, and I am
told he roared out: ‘ An’ was yer mother
scared by a nayger ?’ ”
That’s the sort of mongrel cattle who
affect to lead the blacks by the nose under
pretense of “ belonging to their race.”
Whittemore. —A Democratic member
of the House proposes to advocate Whtt
temore’h admission on the following
grounds: ‘‘This is a representative Gov.
“ erument, and Congress has no right to
“ dictate to the people whom they shall
“ select to represent them. The House
“ branded Whittemore as a thief, and
“ with that brand upon him he went
« back to his constituents. They have re
« elected him. The inference is that in
«• his district the thieves are in a major
•• ity. But the House has no right to say
« that those thieves cannot be represented.
« Whittemore must have his seat.”
At it Again.—Gov. Bullock is again
<i depleting hi« private fortune.” We judge
go at least, seeing that J. W. Forney has
recently commenced to abuse the South in
forty-ceut-per-line manner.
Red Cloud’s Judgment. —Even the In
dian has lost faith in Yankee pledges. Red
Cloud spoke thus:
“ All the promises made in treaties have
“ never been fnlfj|ed. The object of the
“ white* was to crush the Indians down to
“ nothing. The Great Spirit' would judge
“ diene thingn hereafter. lam chief of thirty
“ nine nations. .1 will not take the paper
“ with me; it in alt lies:’
We trust Red Cloud may live long
enough to witness the judgment of the
Great Spirit upon that perfidious popple.
West Point.— ts it possible that mem
bers of Congress can not llpd one negro
boy in the Union who is physically and
mentally capable of passing a preliminary
examination at West Point; or is the whole
thing a mean Yankee, carpet bag trick?
A Remarkable Volume. —All who have
read the Overland Monthly, during the past
year, could not fail to be struck with a se
ries of sketches peculiar to early mining
life in California. These sketches were so
wondrously clever, so very original, so full
of a pathos of their own, that they were
easily selected from the mass of other ma
terial, and had a popularity everywhere
which has not been equalled in magazine
literature since the days of Pot. The au
thor of these curious contributions, Mr.
Francis Bret Haiite, has, at the earnest
solicitation of his friends, gathered them
together in book form. From the publish
ing house of Messrs. Fields, Osgood &
Cos , therefore, a dainty volume has been
given to the world, containing : Ihe Luck
of Roaring Camp; The Outcasts of Poker
Plat; Migqles ; Tennessee n Partner, 1 ' etc.,
etc. We are indebted to our neighbor, Mr.
Daniel Quinn, for the copy before us.
Such of our readers as would like to en
joy a literary treat altogether out of the
commonplace routine of the day would do
well to purchase Mr. Harte’s little
volume.
How’s This for Hyson ?—Madame De
morest, the noted New York milliner, has
just invested $500,000 in a tea firm.
r From Blackwood’s Magazine for June.
“ Prophetic Disraeli.’’
WHAT THE AUTHOR OF “ LOTHAIR” WILL
PROVE IN A FORTHCOMING WORK.
It is unnecassary to point out to those
who remember, the singular theories
broached in Mr. Disraeli’s former novels
that the adventures of Loth air can scarcely
be expected to end with the present third
volume. It will easily be anticipated that
a sequel still more remarkable than the
commencement of that nobleman’s history
is in progress—in fact we may whisper that
the same assistants have been secured for
the future as for the present work—namely,
the writer of the Drury Lane pantomimes,
a gentleman on the stall' of the Court
Journal,and a celebrated mad-doctor who
is in the habit of making copious notes of
the conversation of his patients. Nothing
whatever is said iu Lothair about the pre
eminence of the Jewish race, which formed
so prominent a feature in a former work.
In that preceding novel it was shown that
most of the illustrious people at that time
existing were of Hebrew blood. But a
whole generation of celebrities has sprung
into distinction since. Mr. Disraeli is not
a man who abandons his ideas, and it still
.remains for him to do justice to those whom
lie most foudly cherishes. Accordingly, in
tiie continuation of LoQuiir a great many
eminent persons of this time, such as Count
Bismarck, President Lopez, Gens. Let: and
Sherman, Messrs. Bloudiu and Leotard,
Herr Joachim, Mine. Patti, M. Lesseps
and Mr. Fechter—will be all proved to
belong to the most illustrious of the
tribes of Israel. The Emperor of the
French, though a Jew, can only claim
affinity with an inferior tribe ; and Mr.
Gladstoue, if a Jew at all, is of the
posterity of Bhimei who reviled Da
vid. The descent of the Rothschilds from
the wealthy Israelite who supplied the ma
terials for the golden calf is briefly but
clearly traced through the moneychangers
wiio were driven out of the Temple. All
this, however, is merely episodical to the
continuation of Lothair’s history. The
struggle between the Protestant and Cath
olic friends of that hero for the possession
of so important a proselyte whicli occurs
in the present Work is only introductory
to the for more important contest that is
to take place in the sequel. The active
and inquiring mind of Loihair lias long
occupied itself with the mysteries of the
Jewish faith, and the chief Rabbi is now
his familiar friend. The Bishop, with his
chaplain and trusty archdeacon, brings a
strong counter influence to work. And
as when two of rival parties contest a
seat, a candidate hostile to both may some
times carry the election, so the astute Car
dinal, ever on the watch, bears down at
the head of his Monsignores on the de
voted Lothair, who has already begun to
talk of building a synagogue. The rival
ecclesiastics are indefatigable in theirs ef
forts ; the llabbi endeavors to have the
Passover kept at Muriel, while the Bishop
esses sausage on Lothair at breakfast,
pr the Cardinal tries to entrap him into
eating ham sandwiches at lunch. A do
mestic circumstance renders the triple
contest more exciting, for at this juncture
the Cynosure of the Empyrean is confined
of twins, and how they shall be baptized
is a matter which is rightly judged to
be of immense importance. The Bishop
is perpetually dodging about the nursery,
followed bv his chaplain, bearing a porta
ble font. The Monsignores defeat his de
sign by spreading a scandalous report that
he and the chaplain are trying to make
love to the nurses. The eighth day, so im
portant in the rites of the Jewish church,
approaches. On the seventh night after
the birth the Cardinal seeks Lothair in
great agitation, and makes the most aston
ishing revelation. He has discovered in
the family archives absolute proof that Lo
thair’s grandfather, who is buried in the
alabaster tomb, was his (the Cardinal’s)
father, and that., moreover, he was a Jew of
the purest and noblest blood. Not only
does the remorseful prelate abandon his
attempt to convert Lothair to Romanism,
but he announces his own intention to em
brace the religion of Moses, deferring it
only till he can go to Rome and try to
bring the Pope over with him to the new
creed. This decides the wavering Lothair,
in spite of the tears and entreaties of the
Lady Corisaude. The next morning the
twins, to the great disgust of the Bishop
and the Duke’s family, are duly admitted
into the Hebrew community with all due
ceremonies, and receive the names of Moses
and Aaron. Both are also called Tussaud,
after their grandmother. Lord Moses Tus
saud Lothair, as he grows up, shows a
princely prodigality of disposition, and at
tests the purity of his race by an early
leaning toward Mosaic jewelry, and further
by a proposal (which greatly exasperates
his noble parent) to sell the gold railing of
his great grandfather’s tomb. Lord Aaron,
the younger twin, is of an intellectual and
speculative turn of mind, and devotes him
self to the establishment of one church by
the restoration, not of Christendom, but of
Israel, and to the extrication of the Aryan
races from Semitism by means of art, of
which he is himself a disciple, having an
hereditary talent for modeling in wax.—
We will not reveal any more of this excit
ing work—the demand for which will
doubtless be unparalleled—further than to
note that it contains a remarkable pecu
liarity respecting the doctrines of the He
brews, for, instead of treating the coming
of the Jewish Messiah as prospective, it is
hinted that he is now on earth, and has
bceu for about sixty-five years.
Another Haul on the Treasury.—
There was missed from the United States
Treasury, on Saturday (supposed to have
been stolen), a bundle of two thousand
new legal-tender notes, of the denomina
tion of $lO, new series of 1869, having the
head of Daniel Webster, and numbered as
follows: II 3,530,001 to H 3,582,000, both
inclusive, amounting to $20,000.
[ Washington Sunday Chronicle.
The Red Men—A White House Scene.
The Washington correspondent of the
Tribune , describing the recent reception of
the Indians at thjer Presidential mansion,
says:g| M W
This reception was a fnll dress occasion
and quite surprisingly brillia.nt. The “dead
season ” was galvanized for a single night
.into a startlingly life-like appearauce. The
warriors were painted and plumbed with
the most artistic hideousness. Red Clond’s
head gear being particularly appalling.—
They had on all their savage regalia, their
beads and their bells, their tinsel and shells,
their rings and crosses and.badges.
The toilettes of the squaws had by no
means been neglected. The had fresh Ver
million down the parting of their hair;
their jetty locks were freshly platted; their
ears were freshly shelled, the ornaments
tied in with buckskin thongs. Their
knives were freshly scoured, and they wore
their “ Sunday-go-to-meetin’” moccasins.
They sat apart by themselves. Mrs. Grant
made them very happy by the gift of some
shinning trinkets, and the President him
self bestowed upon each a fine bouquet with
his own paternal hand, saying as he did
so, “ I must at all events be attentive to
the ladies.”
The lovely wife of the British Minister
was quite in despair at not having thought
to bring some fitting feminine offerings,
and seeing that the child-like Sioux women
manifested a longing admiration for the
pearl trimmings of her dress, borrowed a
penknife from a gallant attache, and re
morselessly despoiled her sasli of its pretty
pendants, which she bestowed impartially
on the group before her. Theelderly squaw,
who seemed a sort of duenna, received her
share with cool condescension—the young
er ones giggled in their lazy, good-uatured
way, but showed no more delight than at
the Navy Yard they had shown in the
acquisition of a handful of brass filings.
AMUSED AND GRATIFIED
by the scene—the lofty and brilliant apart
ments, the gorgeous upholstery, the pic
tures, and marble (for once White House
art was admired), by the beauty and ele
gance, and navoir faire of the gay ladies—
these ingenuous squaws were not, like their
lords, too proud to show their feelings. In
deed, they manifested their emotions and
wishes in the most natural and uncon
ventional manner. If, for instance, gentle
Thunder Skin (who ought, by her name, to
be Red Cloud’s wife) desired to attract your
attention as yon stood by her, she would
give you—her hands being full of trinkets
and flow*vs—
A SIGNIFICANT LITTLE KICK.
This naive and sprightly action was,
though briskly, vet stealthily and modestly
performed under cover of her heavy red
skirt and other decorous drapings.
I noticed this whole interesting group
inspecting with a sort of shame faced as
tonishment, a certain “stunning” evening
dress, very long and very low. I watched
their eyes following the shining waves of
silk, rising in such debatable ground, and
flowing away into such foreign territory,
and I thought that that gay young lady
must have seemed to them like a fair ser
pent, just emerging from its glittering skin.
I noticed that of all the resplendent dames,
the squaws seemed most fervently to ad
mire
MADAMF. CATACAZY,
the wife of the Russian Minister. And
t here seems to me something almost semi
barbaric about, this lady—about her splen
did, regal figure ; her fair, proud face; her
bright, but cold blue eyes; her wealth of
tawny hair, her bizarre jewelry, her unique
and glittering attire, which would natural
ly dazzle and delight these wild women of
tiie plains.
We followed our wild friends into the
supper room, and stood back respectfully
against tiie wall, while they banqueted be
side the board. I watched them narrowly,
and saw no instance of
AWKWARDNESS OR ILL BREEDING.
They ate and drank with a relish, but
without greedy haste. Indeed their mode
ration and decorum might put, the fashion
able diners aA many a hotel table to shame.
They took kindly to strawberries and ice
cream, and one might have supposed that
they iiad been born with gold spoons in
their mouths—had been as well inured to
fruit cake as a clerical dyspeptic, and to
champagne as a city official. Eveu these
UNSOPHISTICATED squaws
sipped the foam from their glasses as
daintily and coolly as though they had
!>een members of the Sorosis lunching at
Delmonico’s. Through his interpreter,
saturnine Red Cloud, or clever Spotted
Tail, is said to have remarked to President
Grant: “ These are rather different rations
from those you send your Sioux children.
I see here no salt beef and no corn bread.”
After supper they resumed their seats on
the sofas and carpets In the East room,
hugging their monstrous buffalo robes
about them, fanning themselves more furi
ously than ever, while rivers of red, black,
yellow and blue perspiration rolled down
their venerable faces.

Troubles of the New Orleans Butchers.
AN APPEAL TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL.
The hybrid government of negroes and
carpet-baggers in Louisiana that has
managed to keep the city ot New Orleans
in Lot water for the last seven years, lias
just thrown it into an uproar by anew
example of its injustice. The Legislature
of the State passed an act changing the
Crescent City live-stock landing and slaugh
ter-house company, and invested it with the
sole and exclusive privilege of slaughtering
cattle ; all persons were forbidden to land,
keep, or slaughter sheep, cattle or swine,
and to establish any stock landing, yard,
pen, slaughter-house, or abattoir within the
three parishes of Orleans, Jefferson and St.
Bernard, with the exception of the persons
named in the act. The effect of the act and
its intent were to give to the new company
the monopoly of slaughtering cattle for
market for twenty-five years—a most
valuable franchise in New Orleans—and to
place the butchers ent.ireliy at their mercy.
The act was rigorously enforced last week,
and threw the city into confusion. The
new company asserted their right to do all
the slaughtering for the butchers; the
hutchers;refused to recognize it, and went
on with the'r business as usual; the monop
olists appealed to the city authorities,
and on Sate day last, the metropolitan
police, which is the right arm of the
venal rulers, made a concerted descent
on the butchering establishments, seized
the wagons laden with meat prepared for
market, and drove them all up to the po
lice stations of the city. The New Or
leans papers say that this wholesale seiz
ure embraced six hundred carcasses, worth
$20,000. The butchers followed their wa
gons to the stations, and demanded the re
turn of them with some tumult; and the
citizens, deprived of their daily supply of
fresh meat., arrayed themselves at once
on the side of the butchers against the
monopolists and authorities who were
equally enemies of both The excitement
at one time threatened to assume the form
of a riot, but no disturbance actually oc
curred. The butchers were told that they
might, take their wagons and go, on condi
tion that they would not offer the meat
lor sale, but they resolutely refused to do
this. Legal proceedings were instituted,
wh’ch consumed the whole forenoon.—
Meanwhile the rotting meat, exposed to
the full power of a Louisiana sun, began
to grow offensive, and the citizens living
in the vicinity of the station houses peti
tioned the authorities to abate the nuis
ance. The petition was finally complied
with ; the police drove the wagons to the
levee and dumped the carcasses info the
river. Tin* operation was not completed
till half-past seven that evening. The re
sult of the day’s work was the deprivation
of nearly the entire population of their
daily supply of meat, the rousing of an in
tense excitement and the absolute waste of
twenty or thirty thousand dollars worth
of slaughtered animals.
The butchers had been conducting pro
ceedings against the monopolists in tiie
State Courts for several weeks previous to
the climax, without favorable results, the
judgments and decisions being invariably
given against them. They have now ap
pealed to the United State* District Court
in a petltiou in which they declare that
they cannot receive justice in the State
tribunals. They ask for relief under the
civil rights bill, which they think affords
the remedy they seek lor. They assert in
their petition that “it is a notorious and
probable fact that this bill was crammed
th rough the General Assembly by the ad
ministering of direct bribes to a large num
ber of the members of the Legislature.”—
They also “ charge that shares in the said
corporation have been and probably now
are held by the Governor and Attorney
General of the State.”
Were such an affair as this to'occur in a
Northern city, the people would not sub
ance to it, the conduct would be called a
new rebellion, and the army and navy
would be brought against them.

WIIAT DOES REASON SAY ?
The little mongoose when bitten by a deadly ser
pent resorts to a certain plant, eats of it, and escapes
the effects of the poison. That is instinct. Human
beings, on the other hand, must depend on reason and
experience in selecting the means of protecting health
and life against unwholesome influences. Now, what
does reason say on lids vital subject ? Does it not
tell us that to invigorate and purify the system is the
best, way to protect it against the invisible poison
which generate* disease? Surely it does. The next
question is, what guide shall we follow in choosing a
medicinal safeguard? Reason repl’es, let your moni
tor be experience. Well, the expeiieuce of eighteen
years compiised in one unbroken series of satisfactory
testimonials assures us that Hostetter’s Stomach Bit
ters possess strengthening, regulating and antiseptic
properties which are not combined In the same happy
proportions in any other preparation extant. This,
therefore, is the antidote to which reason bids ns re
sort when our health is imperilled either by the mala
ria which produces’ epidemic disorders, or by any
other cause, whether inherent and constitutional or
connected with our habits, occupations and pursuits.
The venom of a noxious reptile is scarcely more
auhtli'and dangerous than that which lurks in foul
air and impme water. To escape the fev< rs, bilious
disorders, disturbances of ihe bowels, and other se
rioii“ maladies produced bv these insalubrious ele
ments, it is absolutely n< cessary 'hat the stomach and
all the secretive organs should he, so to speak, in a
rollust, condition. Upon the amount of resistance
which the vital system can oppose to the deleterious
influences that assail it, the safely ol the health de
