THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1874
MENDING THE MATTER.
While Mr. Lamar and his friends are
proclaiming that enlightened pub
lic opinion of the South regards the
14th and 15th amendments to the Con
stitution as sacred as the original
charter, Judge Pierrepont, an eminent
Republican, in an address at New Ha
ven, had the courage and candor to
speak as follows of reconstruction :
“ It was not thought desirable that states
men should meddle in this matter, while
politicians hastened to reconstruct the
South upon theories crude, ill-considered
and impossible of success. * * * The
seeds of this folly are now producing fruits
after their kind, and bitter fruits, more dan
gerous to liberty than any that were ever
ripened on American soil.
The World, while tracing the rise and
progress of reconstruction to Stanton,
Sumner & Cos., asks Judge Pieurepont
what he is going to do about it; what
measure of relief he proposes for this
infamy, the most dangerous to Ameri
can liberty ever hatched, and just as
destructive to political life as Plymouth
Church harlotry is to the family and
society. The World says:
If the whole matter of suffrage had l>een
left with the States, where the framers of
the Constitution designed that it should
rest forever—if there had been no iuter
erence by the Federal power or by the na
ional authority of an amendment of the
Constitution—the right of suffrage could
nave been extended among the blacks as
ast and as far as there could have been any
reason for extending it. This could have
been a black man’s country as well as a
white man’s, while it would not have been
necessary to make it a white man’s govern
ment or a black man’s government. The
whites in the Southern States might have
been trusted to eoneedo the right of suf
frage to the black freedmen or their de
scendants whenever it was right that they
should have it. But by the wholesale and
forcible establishment of negro suffrage
many of the Southern States have become
practically the black man’s government , and
have almost ceased to be the white man’s
country. Be this as it may, will Judge
PiUrkepont, or any other Republican
statesman, or politician, tell us what he
proposes as a remedy for these confessed
“ bitter fruits ” of politicians’ folly, so
“dangerous to the liberty” of American
freemen, and freedmen too.
It is well for the country that such
a paper as the World recognizes the
essential value of the struggle for local
self-government and the rights of the
States. It is well for the country that
a New England Senator, Eaton of Con
necticut, has lately come forward to
represent the Northern reaction against
Sumner’s doctrine and its practical re
sults. It is well for the country that
a Republican of Judge Pierrepont’s
eminence virtually confesses in puolic
that reconstruction is the greatest
blunder and crime of the century. But
it is an evil omen that any public man
in the South, especially a representative
from a negro-ridden State, should
essay, however unintentionally, to dis
count the enlightened opinion of the
North, roll back the reaction every
where beyond us, paralyze the power
of Eaton, and, however innocently,
help consecrate the vilest sham and
conspiracy in history.
It is not likely that the World will
ever get a satisfactory answer from
Judge Pierrepont as to relief. But it
is easy to cut the Gordian Knot at a
single blow and indicate the process by
a single word. The only salvation for
the United States is Repeal. Until
these infamous amendments are
swept from the statute book, the
doctrine of Sumner & Cos. will con
tinue to breed pestilence and even
tually bring decay, corruption and
death. Therefore we say: Repeal these
atrocious measures, and let tho test of
true Democracy be perpetual hatred of
“higher law,” like Sumner’s, and an
unflagging effort to wipe out the two
amendments, which, very far from be
ing “ sacred,” are tho spawn of the
pit and should be driven ignominously
back to the desperate region of their
birth.
BEECHER AND DAVIS.
Among the ground and lofty tumb
lings of the dazzling ministerial
mountebank, Henry Ward Beecher,
nothing can be better recalled, at this
moment, than his sermon on the fate
of Mr. Davis, the unfortunate Presi
dent of the Confederacy, when captur
ed and in deadly peril of his life at
Fortress Monroe. Here is the conclu
sion of Beecher's long sermon:
I speak it with a certain reluctance, anil
the thought oftentimes, when it comes,
even touches mo with grief, but I believe
that Mr. Davis for example, will be hung.
Already the scone rises before me. He is
tried; he is convicted; he stands on the
scaffold. All nations have watched the
sure process of the law; all nations have
listened to tho charges laid at his door; all
nations gather about tho scaffold. There
are some things to plead for him. He is a
man of distinguished ability; he has con-
ducted his war with pertinacity and cour
age; he was the beloved leader of the
multitudes of the South, and even
now millions of them would shield
him if they could. He has a wife
who loves him, and children who cannot
understand his crime; he is surrounded by
a mighty, innumerable North, who, the
war being over and its hot passions cooled,
have no hate and no malice, and nothing
more and nothing worse than a chastened,
sorrowful indignation toward him. They
would release him if they could. If they
could forget the dead; if they were not
compassed about with a great cloud of wit
nesses ; if their bells of victory were not
drowned by their bells of mourning; it they
could forget their country; if they could
forget their God, they could give way to
their pity for a brother man in his extrem
ity. They hear voices from over the
sea; voices of sympathy for him; voices
of pleading; occasional voices of threaten
ing, may be. But nothing avails; he can’t bo
spared; he would not consent to peace; he
would not be just; he w r ould be a patriot;
he must die. And tho axe cornes down,
and the world shudders, and the great
traitor is dead. And I claim that a scene
and spectacle as that will do more for the
stability of the country and for the cause
of public order than almost any dozen great
acts of these last four years. It will take
rank among the sublimities of history. It
will have a moral dignity and weight
which no magnificent battle wo have fought
could have. It will engage the attention of
mankind as none of our battles have. It
will be more easily comprehended by them.
It will be rebellion and slavery epitomized
and embodied in the form and person
of their chief man, and then be
headed for their sins. And the people
Will understand that simple, tiagic thing.
And it will sink into them; and it will hal
low love in their feeling forever more. Let
it come, then. History waits for it. The
greatest work of modern times—our loyal
war, I mean—waits for its cap-stone. Let
it be raised to its bed. Not with shoutings,
but in silence and with tears, if you please.
But let it be raised. And, in tho words of
our great martyr, when he wrote the de
cree which has made him immortal—
“ Upon this, our coming solemn act of
justice, we invoke the blessing of Almighty
God and the considerate judgment of man
kind.” Amen and amen.
The Reverend ransacked
the calendar, but could find nothing to
plead successfully for Jefferson Davis
in chains. Wife, children, friends,
genius, courage—all were as nought in
the balance of the “higher law,” Kansas
rifle saint, who more than Greeley, more
than any man save Sumner, is responsi
ble for Grant and Reconstruction at
the South. We can very well under
stand how Beecher should be the anta
gonist of Davis and even find no mercy
for him. Jeeferson Davis was the re
presentative of tho struggle for true
American independence against “higher
law,” social depravity and religious ra
tionalism. Beecher was the apostle of
all these infamies. Time, which brings
its revenges at last, has presented
Beecher face to face with his indict
ment of Jefferson Davis ; and the world
has had a saving disclosure of what
Beecherism means in the pulpit, the
press, the forum and society. •
Pelf. — The love of pelf is said to
have made Sam Wilkenson, the swift
witness of Beecher, blasphemous. Sam
has stock in Plymouth Church, in the
Christian Union and in Bro. Beecher’s
sensational “ Life of Christ.” The de
struction of Mr. Beecher would be the
destruction of all these. As Mr. AVil
kenson expressed it, “It would knock
the ‘ Life of Christ ’ higher than a kite.”
Hence his concern in keeping the mat
ter secret.
Satisfactby. —The Albany News nar
rates as a matter of importance that
the Rio ell lamp catches as many flies
when not burning as when burning.
One lamp that was lit on Saturday
night caught one fly, and another five
flies ; while on Sunday night, when not
lit, one caught three flies and the other
five.
Planters should tako this hint and
save the expense of illumination.
The German Vote. —The Cincinnati
Volksblatt says that while the German
Republicans liavo, in a large part, left
the Republican party, they have not
blindly joined themselves to the Demo
cratic party, and they are now occupy
ing the position of armed neutrality.
The Kev. Dr. Leonard Bacon is the man
who is responsible for giving new life to
this Beecher scandal. AVe wonder what
he thinks of himself to-day.
[Cincinnati Gazette.
He is lying very low at present, but
must feel a proud consciousness that
he has developed the entire animal —
the whole hog —in Brooklyn.
Dead. —The Albany (Ga.) Republican
is defunct. Col. Carey AV. Styles
preaches the funeral sermon in his
most vigorous manner.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES
WASHINGTON.
The Vicksburg Trouble—Result of the
Infamous Amendments.
Washington, July 31.—Despite the
action of the Government in refusing
to send the military to Vicksburg, the
executive powers of the State still per
sist in the statement that the public
peace is endangered. Gov. Ames, who
has been away from his post, has re
turned, and to-day he telegraphed to
President Grant, reiterating in the
main the apprehension set forth in tel
egrams and mail advices previously
forwarded by Lieut. Gov. Davis. He
makes no formal demand for troops,
but the tenor of his dispatch is such as
to intimate that he desires Federal
troops to be called to Vicksburg on
election day.
In the meantime almost every mail
brings protests from reputable citizens
of Vicksburg denouncing the action of
the Executive officers as unwarranted
and without cause other than to intimi
date voters. The dispatch received to
day was forwarded |to President Grant,
but up to the close of the Department
yesterday no reply had been received.
Correspondenee and dispatches on the
subject will be made public by the War
Department after the President has
rendered a final decision as to what
course he will pursue in the matter.
They are quite voluminous.

Washington, July 31. — Secretary
Bristow will to-morrow give notice that

mentioned.

ALABAMA.
Democratic Convention —Governor
and Members of Congress Nomi
nated—No More Coalitions —The
Amendments Not as Sacred as the
Original Charter.
Montgomery,! uly 31-The Democratic
Convention adjourned at 2 o’clock this
morning. George S. Houston, of Lime
stone county, is the nominee for Gov
ernor. He* was for twenty years a
member of Congress, and for several
years Chairman of the Committee on
Ways and Means. D. D. Lewis and W.
H. Forney are for Congress at large.
All nominations are satisfactory. The
resolutions are as follows : The Dem
ocratic and Conservative people of
Alabama, in convention assembled, do
resolve and declare:
Ist. That the Radical and dominant
faction of the Republican party in this
State persistently, by false and fraudu
lent representations, have inflamed the
passions and prejudices of the negro as
a race against tho white people, and
have thereby made it necessary for the
white people to unite and act in self
defense, and for the preservation of
white civilization.
2d. That the rights of all classes of
men under the Constitution and laws
of the land must be respected and pre
served inviolate, but we deny that Con
gress can constitutionally enact rules
to force the two races into social union
or equality.
3d. That the so-called Civil Rights
bill, recently passed by the Federal
Senate and now pending in the House,
is a flagrant and dangerous invasion of
the ancient conservative principle of
personal liberty and free government,
and is a palpable violation of the Fed
eral Constitution, and presents an is
sue cf vital moment to the American
people, and calls upon them to decide
at the ballot-box whether they will or
will not be coerced to the absolute so
cial as well as political equality of the
negro race with themselves.
We view with abhorence the attempt
on the part of the Federal Government
to take control of schools, colleges,
churches, hotels, railroads, steamboats,
theatres and graveyards for the pur
pose of establishing negro equality and
enforcing it under numerous penalties
of fines, damages and imprisonments.
4th. Civil remedies for the pro
tection of civil rights are adequately
provided by the common law to all
races of men in this State, and
added to these are social remedies
for social wrongs, which every race and
class often are properly left free by the
laws to adopt for themselves, so that
the negro race has the same means of
protecting itself against the invasions
of its civil rights under the law, and
against intrusion upon its so-called
rights and privileges by the white race,
that we have to preserve and protect
ourselves and families against the
intrusions of the negro race
under these laws. The race to which,
in the Providence of God we belong,
has achieved an immense glory among
the people of the world, which is our
proud inheritance, and has become to
us a trust we cannot resign without
dishonor; wo therefore denounce as
violative of tho letter and spirit of our
Constitution, and as dishonoring to the
genius of our race, all legislative en-
I actments which attempt to convert
into crimes the rules and maxims of
our social intercourse to which we
are indebted for the excellence and
glory of our civilization, or to
punish with degrading penalties our
refusal to admit an ignorant and bar
barous race to equal participation with
our families in our social institutions.
stli. That we extend to all of our
race, in every clime, the right hand of
fellowship and a cordial invitation to
come and settle amongst us and unite
their destinies with us.
6th. That proper laws should be
enacted by the Legislature to secure
to the employes of railroad corpora
tions liens upon the property of such
corporations for the payment of their
wages.
7th. The exigencies of the times and
the impoverished condition of the peo
ple render it imperative that the State
government should return at once to
that system of economy in public ex
penditures which conduced so much to
the successful and satisfactory admin
istration of the government and the
prosperity of the people before the
war. Through Radical Legislatures
and misgovernment, unnecessary of
fices and agencies have been created,
with large salaries, and every oth
er service conceivable to our en
emies and oppressors resorted to,
until our State government, no long
er under the control of the people, has,
in practice and precept, reverse J, abro
gated and annulled the Democratic
maxim that governments are based
upon the consent of the governed. Re
trenchment in the reduction of these
burthens, in the reduction of the num
ber of officers, in official salaries, antf
in the fees or commissions of agents,
is necessary and indispensable to the
public welfare. * And we pledge our
selves to reduce every public expendi
ture, and abolish and dispense with
every office demanded by an economi
cal administration of the Government.
Bth. The Democrats and Conserva
tive party of Alabama is pledged so
soon as it shall be placed in power by
being entrusted with the State adminis
tration to cause to be made such speedy
and thorough investigation as shall by
its result make known to the people of
the State and to the world our true
financial condition, and through its re
presentatives here assembled, it re
solves that every dollar justly owing
by the State shall be faithfully and
fully paid when it is able to do so. At
the same time it is firmly determined
that the welfare of the people of tho
State and the interests of its honest
creditors shall not be put in jeopardy
by the payment of unlawful or fraudu
lent claims of any kind.
KANSAS.
A Plague of Thieves and Grasshop
pers.
St. Louis, July 31. — A Kansas City
special savs that a vigilance committee
of about 100 men have been formed at
Wellington and other points in Kansas,
for hanging horse-thieves. Three men,
named Has Brook, Bill Brook and
Charley Smith, were hanged near Wel
lington last night, and made confessions
involving other parties.
Great quantities of grasshoppers
have appeared in Western and South
western Kansas, and are destroying
everything before them. Much damage
and distress is apprehended.
Another Youthful Fiend.
New York, July 31.—A girl of fifteen
years, named Henrietta Moore, is under
arrest for having confessed to setting
fire to a room in a hotel at West Farms,
because she saw the infant child of the
proprietor asleep on a bed, and, as she
states, wanted to see it burn up. The
fire, however, was extinguished, but not
until the little one was somewhat
burned. She appears to have the same
devilish manner that affects the Pome
roy boy of Boston.
SAN FRANCISCO.
A Chinese Consulate.
San Francisco, J uly 31. —The Chinese
Government is about to establish a
Consulate in this city, the six Chinese
companies agreeing to defray expenses.
It is believed an American will be ap
pointed with a Chinese Vice-Consul.
MISSISSIPPI.
President Grant Snubs Gov. Ames
and “Unloads Another Monstros
ity.”
Washington, July 31.—The following
is the telegram of Gov. Ames, of Mis
sissippi, to the President, in relation to
the Vicksburg troubles:
Jackson, Miss., July 29tli.
To President U. S. Grant, Washington :
I regret to inform you that I find
upon returning here that a serious and
alarming condition of affairs exist at
A r icksburg. Infantry and cavalry or
ganizations exist, and it is reported
that a number of pieces of artillery have
been sent to tho city, and there bodies
are organized without authority and
in violation of law assume to be the
guardians of the peace. This is a poli
tical controversy. One side, the de
mocrats, represented by the whites,
claim they fear frauds on the part of
.their opponents. The Republicans,
consisting mainly of blacks, claim that
they fear frauds and also violence on
the part of the Democrats. At one
time a collision and bloodshed was
feared by all, not by the Republi
cans, but by the Democrats it
is believed, only because they
have become masters of the situation.
It is they also who oppose the pres
ence of troops at this time, Of the
causes of this lamentable state of af
fairs it is now useless to speak. I only
seek peace and protection for all. Can
there be any serious objections why
troops should not be sent there? No
harm can result, for troops are in many
of our cities—at this moment in two of
the cities of this State. Their pres
ence may be of great good. —
It may save many lives; even one
would more than compensate* for the
harm which, if any, I do not see to re
sult from such presence. Will it not
be the least of evils to have troops
there for any emergency ?
Adelbert Ames,
Governor of Mississippi.
The following reply was sent to Gov.
Ames to-day :
Washington, D. C., July 31,1874.
Hon. A. Ames, Jackson, Miss.:
The contents of your dispatch have
been submitted to the President. He
declines to move the troops except un
der a call made strictly in accordance
with the terms of the Constitution.
AY. AV. Belknap,
Secretary of War. •
Perils of the Rail.
Albany, July 31.—AVhile the Sharon
Express was coming from Sharon to
day, on the Cherry Valley Branch of
the Susquehanna Railroad, one of the
cars was thrown from the track and
turned over and over. About thirty
passengers were in tho car, half of
whom were more or less bruised, but
not seriously injured. The accident
was caused by a depressed rail. A
surgeon on board of the train dressed
the wounds of all tho injured. A spe
cial train was sent out from here to
bring in the injured, and those going
down the river took the night boat.

saba and carried off a large number of

London, July 31. —Excavations for

SPECIAL NOTICES.
MANY WHO ARE SUFFERING FROM
the effects of the warm weather and are debil
itated, are advised by physicians to take mod
erate amounts of whiskey two or three lmes
during the day. In a little while those who
adopt this advice frequently increase the
number of “drinks,” and in time become
confirmed inebriates. A bevorage which wi
not creato thirst for intoxicating liquors, and
which is intended especially for the benefit of
debilitated persons, whether at home or
abroad, is Dr. Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic.
Containing the juices of many medicinal
herbs, this preparation does not create an
appetite for the intoxicating cup. The nour
ishing and the life-supporting properties of
many valuable natural productions contain
ed in it and well known to medical men have
a most strengthening influence. A single
bottle of the Tonic will demonstrate its valua
ble qualities. For debility arising from sick
ness, over exertion or from any cause what
ever, a wineglassful of Sea Weed Tonic taken
after meals will strengthen the stomach and
create an appetite for wholesome food. To
all who are about leaving their homes, we de
sire to say that the excellent effects of Dr.
Schenck’s seasonable remedies. Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Fills, are particulaily
evident when taken by those who are in, u
riously affected by a change of water and diet.
No person should leave home without taking
a supply of these safeguards along. For sale

Thai Favorite Home Remedy,
PAIN - KILLER*
HAS been before the public over thirty
years, and probably has a wider and better
reputation than any other proprietary medi
cine of the present day. At this period there
are but few unacquainted with the merits of
the Pain-Kirler ; but, while some extol it as
a liniment, they know but little of its power
in easing pain when taken internally; while
others use it internally with great success,
but are equally ignorant of its healing virtues
when applied externally. We therefore wish
to say to all. that it is equally successful,
whether used internally or externally. It is
sufficient evidence of its virtues as a standard
medicine to know that it is now used in all
parts of the world, and that its sale is con
stantly increasing. No curative agent has
had such a wide spread sale or given such
universal satisfaction.
Davis’ Pain-Killer is a purely vegetable
compound, prepared from the best and
purest materials, and with a care that insures
the most perfect uniformity in the medicine;
and while it is a most effective remedy fur
pain, it is a perfectly safe medicine, even in
the most unskillful hands.
It is eminently a Family Medicine; and by
being kept ready for immediate resort, will
save maiiy'an hour of suffering, and many a
dollar in time and doctor’s bills.
After over thirty years trial, it is still re
ceiving the most unqualified testimonials to
its virtues, from persons of tho highest
character and responsibility. Eminent
Physicians commend it as a most effectual
preparation for tho extinction of pain. It is
not only the best remedy ever known for
Bruises, Guts, Burns, &e., but for Dysontery.
or Cholera, or any sort of bowel complaint, it
is a remedy unsurpassed for efficiency, and
rapidity of action. In the great, cities of
India, and other hot climates, it lias bee one
the standard medicine for all such com
plaints, as well as for Dyspepsia, Li ver Com
plaints, and all other kindred disorders. lor
Goughs and Colds. Canker, Asthma, and
Rheumatic difficulties, it haa been proved by
the most abundant and convincing testimony
to be an invaluable medicine.
We would caution the public against all
imitations of our preparation, either in uame
or style of putting up. Sold by all medicine
dealers. jy23-thsatulm

AMONG the Capitalists in cne of our large cities is a builder, worth Hurulrcds
of Thousand* of Dollars, who began life as a Bricklayer’s Laborer, at a dollar
a day, out of which small sum he contrived to save fifty cents a day, and at the
end of the first year had laid up $lB2. From that moment his fortune was made.
Persons who despise small earnings, as unworthy of their care, are ignorant ot
the main object of laying them up early in life, which looks not to the saving it
self chiefly, but to the .formation of habits of economy.

AGENTS WANTED!
Every Family to be Canvassed.
XTTE want local Agents everywhere, and
\ V one General Agent in each State, for
Tlie Christian Age,
a weekly Journal of 1G pages, beautifully
printed, unsectional, unsectarian, a record
of Christian Thought, Effort and Progress;
of Current Literaturo and News; of Finance
and Commerce. It is to supply all Cris
tian Families throughout the enuntry just
such a metropolitan paper as they need.
Our Editor-in-Chief,
CHARLES F. DEEMS, D' D.,
is so widely known as a ripe scholar, an el
oquent and popular Divine, an earnest
worker in the cause of Christ, and as the
possessor of the highest order of Literary
ability, that his name is a tower of strength
to our enterprise; and supported by the
eminent and efficient corps of assistants
that he has called to his aid, we have no
hesitation in asserting that, in point of Edi
torial excellence, we shall puDlish a sur
passingly Christian Newspaper. We
shall endeavor to make each weekly issue
transcend its predecessor.
DR. DEEMS’ SERMONS.
It is proposed to publish once a month
or oftenor, a full report or abstract of a
Sermon or Lecture by Rev. Dr. Deems.
Thus the thousands from different parts of
the land who crowd the “Church of the
Strangers” will have a memorial of the
service which they attended, or the repro
duction of some other discourse from the
same preacher. The CHRISTIAN AGE is
furnished at $3 a year, and to each sub
scriber is given the great Historical En
graving :
THE FOUNDERS AND PIONEERS OF
METHODISM.
It contains 250 portraits of leading Meth
odists in all parts of the world, and in all
its branches; artistically arranged in an
oval picture, for the walls of the drawing
room.
We want only active Agents, those who
will do the work thoroughly. We give ex
clusive control of territory, and do not wish
to waste our field upon poor agents, and
will insist upon active work, regular and
prompt reports, and a strict following of
our terms and instructions; and if this is
done, there is no business you can engage
in, with anything like the same capital, and
make as much money, in these times, or
make it as easily. We give as much terri
tory as an agent can handle to advantage,
and give the territory desired and called
for, so far as we can. Terms, Circulars, etc.
sent to any address.
If you want to make money, try it!
Remittances by Mail should be made by
Registered Letters or Drafts, or Post Office
Orders. Drafts or Orders should be made
payable to the “Christian Age.” Post
Office Money Orders should be made paya
ble at Station D, New York.
Send ten oents for specimen number.
