THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1874.
SHERMANf.
We do not know that Gen. Sherman
has any Presidential aspirations, but
his friends are making a sort of jump
ing-jack of him as a possible worship
per of the White House. A few days
ago, it was hinted that his prospects
were injured by the nuptials of his
daughter, which were conducted with
the display peculiar to the Roman
Catholic ritual. To offset this, which
was no-doubt the doing of his wife, it
was put forth that the great Tecumseh
was careful not to kneel down or stand
up during the marriage ceremony, and
therefore had no sympathy with the
“ Popish ceremonial.” A warm admirer
of the General of the Army, in Brook
lyn, now comes forward and shows how
this hero has endeared himself to the
“common people” of the country.
Alluding to the General’s indifference
to caste, we learn, for the first time, the
following particulars:
Tho new son-in-law of the General is a
young man belonging to a poor emigrant
family, lately an apprentice at the Novelty
Works, and received what education he has
at a public school. His father was an Irish
laborer of the humblest class, and his only
brother, who died about a year ago, was
well known as the driver of an ice cart in
Brooklyn, and is a “jolly good fellow.”—
Most men in a position not half so exalted
as that of Gen. Sherman would have
frowned upon such an aspirant for the
hand of one of their daughters; but what
did the General do? Why, being satisfied
of the meritorious character of his daugh
ter’s suitor, ho not only approved of his
suit, but gavo him a wedding for a prince
of the blood, People who woro in Wash
ington at the timo all agree that wo have
had no wedding in this country to compare
with it in magnificence since the marriage
of Boss Tweed’s daughter. The fashion
ables of Brooklyn wore startled when thoy
read of this brilliant wedding and saw that
Assistant Engineer Fitch, or Lieut. Fitch,
as he was styled in tho reports, belonged to
a Brooklyn family. They ran hither and
thither, inquiring what family of Fitches
it was that had been so honored, and never
dreamed that tho little frame house in a
back street in Greenpoint was their abode,
especially as the family residing in it are
generally known to their neighbors by the
name of Fitzpatrick.
Mr. Fitch or Mr. Fitzpatrick having
acted well his part was worthy of all
honor—even that of being married like
a prince of the blood or with a splendor
equal to Boss Tweed’s old style. Gen.
Sherman is no doubt as democratically
inclined as Gen. Jackson was, after the
battle of New Orleans, when he danced
a polka with his plain wife to the tune
of “ Possum up a Gum Tree.” But, if
the great Tecumseh has Presidency on
tho brain, let him take care lest his
friends do not make a fool of him.
Grant’s cigar may be more dignified
than Sherman’s capering for popular
applause.
Morton. —Indiana is Democratic, but
Morton keeps his seat in the Senate
till 1877,
Good. —Congressman Hays, of Ala
bama, whose stock of lies exploded on
his hands, is now called “ Hon.” Anan
nias Hays.
The Convention. —The Chattanooga
Slander Mill Convention is now styled
“ an exasperating failure.”
Kellogg.— Poor Kellogg, it is said,
wants to do right, but Packard, Her wig
& Cos. will not let him. Another tool of
the Custom House ring.
Pennsylvania. —A gain of eight Con
gressmen in Pennsylvania for the
Democracy is now confidently pre
dicted. _
Revolution. — Ainsworth, a Demo
crat, has been elected in lowa by 2,000
majority. This is the first time a
Democrat has been elected to Congress
from lowa since 1852.
Pratt. — The result of tho Indiana
election sounds tho death-knell of Sen
ator Pratt —the biggest lump of Radi
cal blubber on this continent.
m
Williams. —It is said that Attorney
General Williams will sell out his
patent for making Southern outrages
dirt cheap. The man who bought the
landaulet ought to purchase the slan
der mill.
Funny. —New Orleans rejoices in
processions of negro Democrats
guarded by White Leaguers. If the
black people take a notion to vote
the Democratic ticket, some day, what
wonderful sights will be seen in the
Radical ranks !
Blaine.— Speaker Blaine, in his Buf
falo speech, says he can name fifty men
at the North, Democrats, who can com
mand peace at the South and they will
bo obeyed.
Can, Mr. Speaker name anybody, in
any section, who can command peace
at the North toward the South ?
Smart. —When a Washington female
Treasury clerk gets married, old Spin
ner requires her to “ step down and
out.” It is said, however, that the
pretty female clerks get married, do
not report the fact, and are drawing
pay as maids when they are, in reality,
wives.
Beecher.— The Plymouth Church
manager says:
Some believo that this mortal body rises
again. Thank God not I! I have hau
enough of it. And when tho earth once
takes it, the earth may keep it.
Suppose the earth shall deliver it up
finally? It will stick to you, Brother
Beecher !
Gaza way B. Lamar, the slaver and own
er of tho “ Wanderer,” who died a few days
since, bequeathed SIOO,OOO towards estab
lishing an asylum for indigent negroes.
His conscience must have troubled him in
his last days.—Troy Times.
And so when a man does a good act ho
must be abused for it. Let the accuser do
as well in proportion as he is able in his
last days, and he will know all about a
troubled conscience.- -N. Y. Express.
Mr. Lamar was not a slaver, and he
never owned tho “ Wanderer.” North
ern abolitionists take precious good
care not to let their consciences trouble
them when leaving money to negroes
is concerned.
A DOUBLE SURPRISE.
The Republican papers admit very
freely that the result of the Ohio and
Indiana elections was a surprise to
them. The Courier-Journal, which
went off half-cocked, a little while
back, and threw up the sponge at the
first flank movement of tho enemy,
confesses an equal degree of astonish
ment. It “ not only expected nothing,
but looked for a Waterloo defeat ” of
Democracy.
The Courier-Journal very properly
says that though tho “outrage” busi
ness did not work well for the Radi
cals, the South should bo more on her
guard and more peaceable than ever.
This is quite correct, and we hope tho
South will be as quiet in her way as
the Courier-Journal ought to be cau
tious in going off half-cocked with its
political predictions.
Pyramidal.— The artistic editors are
building pyramids. The Democratic
pyramid, so far, stands thus :
OHIO.
OREGON.
GEORGIA.
MONTANA.
INDIANA.
COLORADO.
ARKANSAS.
KENTUCKY.
TENNESSE E.
CONNECTICUT.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
NORTH CAROLINA.
The following is the Republican
pyramid:
IOWA.
MAINE.
VERMONT.
RHODE ISLAND.
Odorous.— A poudrette establishment
near Ford’s Opera Houso, in Washing
ton, was complained of before the
Board of Health, tho other day, as a
nuisance. The counsel for the pou
drette manufactory argued as a coun
ter plea that theatres are immoral, and
that a lawful business like that of the
preparation of fertilizers should not be
destroyed “ for the encouragement of
immoral performances.” The Board
decided in favor of the theatre.
What a subject for a first class de
bating society!
Centennial. —We lsarn that twenty
one foreign governments have accept
ed the invitation oxtended them to
participate in the Centennial Exhibi
tion : Norway, Sweden, Germany, Bel
gium, the Netherlands, France, Mexi
co, Guatemala, San Salvador, Venezu
ela, Peru, Ecuador, Chili, Brazil, the
U. S. of Colombia, the Argentine Con
federation, Liberia, Haytl, the Sand
wich Islands and Japan.
Mr. Stephens is right. The South
should assert her claim to the 4th of
July and its glorious memories.
A French View. —The Courrier des
Etats Unis says of tho recent elections:
“It is not absolutely true to say that
tho Democratic party has gained large
ly in the confidence of the people, it is
at least incontestible, that the Republi
can party have lost their active sym
pathisers, and thrown into the arms of
their adversaries a considerable number
of sincere men, who see that a total
change is absolutely necessary.”
Moses. —A New York Tribune corres
pondent declares that tho real Gover
nors and mal-administrators of South
Carolina are Wallace, the Marshal,
and Worthington, tho Collector, United
States officers who do the bidding of
Senator Patterson because they recog
nize in him a political trickster su
perior even to themselves.
So, Moses is a mere tool and a conve
nient. scapegoat.
Schurz. —The New York Day Book
says Senator Schurz knows as much
about the negro nature as a bachelor
of seventy does about the best method
of dressing the baby or of taking care
of mothers under certain circum
stances.
The Next Congress. —Tho present
House of Representatives consists of
194 Republicans, 93 Democrats, 5 Lib
erals and 1 member of unknown poli
tics. So far 52 Republicans and 56
Democrats have been elected to the
next House. At the present rate of
progress, the next House will bo anti
llepublican by a clear majority.
Alexandrowna. —The birth of v son
to the Duchess of Edinburgh is looked
upon as a partial calamity to the Eng
lish public. It will compel Tennyson
to make a goose of himself.
Died in Georgia.
In Polk county, 16th, P, Van Devan
der.
In Atlanta, 18th, Mrs. W. J. Garret.
At Mellonvillo, Fla., 10th, Mrs. Dr.
J. J. W. Ford, of Americus, Ga.
In Rome, 13th, little daughter of A.
S. Patrick.
MARRIED IN GEORGIA.
In Columbus, 17tli, J. A. Rumsey to
Emiline Higden.
In Barnesvillo, 13th, Hugo W. Has
selkus to Addie B. Armstrong, both of

den to Eliza Evans.
In Morgan county, 11th, T. J. Smith
to Miss M. E. Launius.
In Morgan county, 14th, John H.
Stovall to Georgia A. Ballard.
Night Visits. —Mother, you had bet
ter say “no ” decidedly when your
little girl asks if she may go to stay all
night with Mollie or Katie, or Belle ;
and never consent to your little boy’s
request to be allowed to spend tho
night with one of his schoolmates.
Tell them that the night was mado for
sleep, and not for long talks while ly
ing in bed. Explain to them what a
blessed thing sleep is “ tired nature’s
sweet restorer,” and what a good thing
it is to get a habit of going to bed and
to sleep regularly at an early hour, so
that body and brain may both get plen
ty of quiet rest, so necessary for their
growth and healthful activity. Then
give them clean, well-aired beds, in
rooms where there is plenty of pure
air all night long, and let them sleep
until they awake themselves in the
morning.
Some enterprising wasps started a
nest over night in the trousers of a
boarder at a St. Paul hotel, and when
the gentleman thrust his leg through
tho next morning the whole town
wasn’t largo enough to hold him.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES
NEW YORK.
News from Von Arnim.
New York, October 19. —Special ca
ble dispatches stating that the charge
against Von Arnim has dwindled down
to one of insubardination only—Prince
Bismarck deciding to have no further
spread of the news.
The Boys in Blue—Report of the Com
mittee of the Peabody Fund Trus
tees on the Subject of Mixed Schools
in the South.
Tho Committee of tho Peabody Fund
Trustees, consisting of Wm. M. Evarts,
Jno. H. Clifford and Samuel Wetmore,
appointed to consider the subject of
mixed schools in the South, report that
after the most careful comparison of
opinions, and the most solicitous con
sideration of all f l ,he elements of tho
discussion affecting tho interests of
education in the various States for
their white and colored population,
they have unanimously come to the
conclusion that the prospects and
hopes of the public systems of educa
tion at the South will receive a serious,
if not a fatal, blow from any legisla
tion which should make such systems of
education maintainable. only on a
scheme of mixed schools. As to the
organization required for such public
education, the Board are of the opinion
that, while justice and public duty, as
well as tho interests and feelings of the
white and colored people of the South,
concur in demanding a system of pub
lic education which should give equal
opportunities, and equal advantages to
tho children of either color; that no
such result would bo promoted by the
compulsory system of mixed schools.
The committee, in conclusion, say that
these views are fully set forth in the
report of the General Agent, which is
accepted and approved as expressing
tho unanimous opinion of the Trustees.
New York, October 18.—A World spe
cial from Tuscaloosa, Ala., announces

disbanded. A little negro who carried
tho United States mail, on a mule, was
detained a few minutes on the road by
a posse, to prevent an unnecessary
spread of excitement in other and quiet
settlements. Afterwards, this posse
was arrested as Ku Klux, and also for
stopping the United States mail, but
they are now released on a bond of
SIOO each.
A large number of men are summon

fine.
Germany and Porto Rico.

whose ships of war traverse every sea,
Germany has no need of naval stations
in distant countries.

the Chicago Presbytery, against com
plainants, made a motion to drop tho
complaint and the whole matter. A
lengthy discussion ensued, in which
members of the Synod were allowed to
speak three minutes. A large number
participated in the discussion, and
from the sentiments expressed, it is
probable that tho complaint will be
sustained and tho matter argued at
length before the Synod.
TELEGRAPHIC NOTES.

New Orleans special correspondent says
that in interviews, to-day, with Con
servative leaders, including Gen. Ogden,

ther blood in that city. They believe
that many negroes will absent them
selves from the polls on election day,
and that the State will go Democratic
by 6,000 to 8,000 majority. No trouble
is anticipated by them, except in the
parishes about Shreveport, Monroe and
Baton Rouge. Some Republican lead
ers concede that the State will go Dem
ocratic.

Consumption Can Be Cured.
SCHENCK’S PULMONIC SYRUP,
Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic, Schonck’s Man
drake Pills, are the only medicines that will
cure Pulmonary Consumption.
Frequently medicines that will stop a cough
will occasion the death of tho patient; they
lock up tho liver, stop tho circulation of tho
blood, hemorrhage follows, and in fact they
clog tho action of tho very organs that causod
tho cough.
Livor Complaint and Dyopepsia aro tho
causes of two-thirds of the cases of Consump
tion. Many persons complain of a dull pain
in tho side, constipation, coated tonguo, pain
in the shoulder-blade, feelings of drowsiness
and rostlessness, tho food lying heavily on tho
stomach, accompanied with acidity and bolch
ing up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from a
disordered condition of tho stomach or a tor
pid liver.
Persons so affected, if thoy take ono or two
heavy colds, and if the cough in these cases
be suddenly checked, will And the stomach
and liver clogged, remaining torpid and in
active, and almost before thoy aro aware tho
lungs are a mass of sores, and ulcerated, tho
result of which is death.
Schonck’s Pulmonic Syrup is an expecto
rant which does not contain opium oi-.any
thing calculated to chock a cough suddenly.
Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic dissolves the
food, mixes with the gastric juices of the
stomach, aids digestion and creates a raven
ous appotite.
When tho bowels aro costivo, skin sallow, or
tho symptoms othorwiso of a bilious tenden
