THS CONSTITUTIONALIST
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1874.
[communicated, j
Aiken Journalism.
Aiken, S. C., October 19, 1874.
FAitor Constitutionalist:
The daily arrival of your lively and
interesting paper in Aiken—always a
source of pleasure to us—is likely to
become in the future a maiter of ne
cessity. For some years past we have
been said to possess two papers here.
Tiie Aiken Tribune, the acknowledged
mouth-piece of Republicanism in i his
county, has, since its first Issue, kept
the flag of its party flying in our faces,
and without variableness or shadow
of turning, has persistently and consis
tently advocated principles that we
abjure and men that wo detest, on all
occasions where political questions
were concerned. Tho Aiken Journal,
the acknowledged mouth-pieco of no
body in l.iiis county, but its sapient
editors, has, since its first issue, persis
tently and consistently advocated not fl
ing that we care for, preferring to make
war on its neighbour the Tribune ■—
forgetting that its erudite editor
was no match for Sparnick and com
ing out, in consequence, second best
in every encounter. The Aiken
Tribune has been and is con
duc and by a man of education and
ability, eminently fitted for tho po
sition.
The Aiken Journal has never been,
nor is it now, conducted by a man of
either education or ability, or by one
in any wise filled for the position.
Now, this Journal has, a few days ago,
changed hands. It has been sold or
given to, seized or stolen, by John Mc-
Ray, the black Republican intendant of
/ ikon. At all events he is now it s editor,
but as to how he became so we know
lit: le and care less, for the paper has
always been a source of annoyauce and
digust to us, and has been looked on as a
disgrace to the county. Having never
been identified with our interests we
would not now notice it, but thatsl ran
gers might bo misled into looking on it
as the exponent of our views, under its
new management. That it is so in any
way is, if possible, less true now than
e v’er. To its late editor we cheerfully
accord the praise due to a isincere in
tention to do light, coupled with de
cided political honesty. He was a
Southern man and in his heart
of hearts he felt with us aid
for u.s. To its present editor we can
accord nothing of this kind, for the
facts of the case forbid it. Political
honesty—he has none. Ho is a North
ern carpet-bagger, endowed with the
smallest amount of respectability pos
sible, even in that class of nefarious
blood-suckers! It is said he was
raised in Ohio, but we don’t know, and
we don’t care, and we would gladly
vote him a subsidy out of our
impoverished treasury if ho would
only take up his bag and go
back to the place whence he
came, or anywhere else. We are told
that he makes no pretensions to talent
or ability, but states that buffoonery is
his forte. On both points we fully
agree with him, for he has been a con
tributor to the Journal for a long
time, and has dono more than any one
else to make that paper the scurrilous
and indecent sheet it was. Week after
week, for a long time, have our feel
ings been insulted and our Ideas
of decency outraged by the vile
and evei filthy emanations from
his pen. Ho has been, and is a
living scandal to the respectable
people of Aiken. He is a professed
Republican, having been elected In pen
dant at least three times as such, and
now he assumes to direct and counsel
the Conservatives of this county. He
assumes to lead and champion white
men in South Carolina—<lio who will sit
for hours at a time with the very low
est of his colored constituents on the
door step of a bar-room before his
election to secure their votes, and the
next day put any ono of them in the
guard-house at a wink from a
white man, when his election was
secure.
This is the man who now edits Ihe
Aiken Journal. We warn all concerned
of the fact. Under the fictitious nom
tb: 2>h'.nie of “J. Yarcam” he writes
much poor prose and worse poetry —
the remainder has always been, and
probably will continue to be, scurrility,
indecency, vituperation and abuse. —
Cannot you, Mr. Editor, establish some
kind of a branch of your sterling, hon
est, conservative paper here, for, as
for this man, we will none of him.

Country Damaged Cotton.
The following from the Liverpool
Daily Tost, of the 26th ult., will interest
all dealers in cotton : For years the
importers of cotton have suffered, often
very severely, through cotton arriving
at Liverpool deteriorated In value by
what is called being “country dam
aged.” - This country damage arises
from exposure to inclement weather in
course of shipment, or from Inadequate
protection being afforded by ship own
ers before and during loading. At
tempts have been made for years to
fasten the liability for such damage
upon the ship, but without avail. Du
ring the last few weeks a meeting has
been held in Liverpool of deputies from
the National Cotton Exchange of the
United States, the Liverpool Ship-own
ers’ Association, the Cotton Brokers’
Association and the American Cham
ber of Commerce, at which an endeav
or was made to form rules to make the
ship responsible for the condition of
the cotton on landing. The New Or
leans Exchange proposes from the Ist
inst. to appoint supervisors, who shall
go round the quays, and report to the
President of that body all lots of cot
ton which have been for any length of
time exposed to the weather. On such
report being made, a report will be
drawn up and forwarded to JJyerpool,
and should it be found that the cotton
is country damaged on arrival, the
Liverpool Cotton Brokers’ Association
have been empowered to prosecute the
matter legally, so as to test the liability
of the ship. In the meantime, the
Ship-owners’ Association have under
taken to instruct captains of vessels to
be exceedingly careful in the handling
of cotton in course of shipment.
[G. A. Townsend’s Letter to tho Chicago
Tribune.
SOUTH CAROLINA,
A Bilious View of Palmettos and
Buzzards.
Columbia, S. C., Oct. 15,1874.
For two weeks I have been in the
two Carolinas—most of the time in the
Palmetto State.
It is called the Palmetto State be
cause of the scarcity of the Palmettos.
There are about half-a-dozen in Charles
ton, rare as the Stuyvesant pear-trees,
of which there is only one, in New
York. One moi’ning, when I had walk
ed my feet nearly off to catch up to one
of these mythical trees, the vegetable
origin of the War, three gentlemen ap
proached me. My usual morning mo
desty was suppressed. Said I:
“Gentlemen, is that
A PALMETTO-TREE?”—
pointing to a kind of seedy locust in the
yard of a ruined church.
“ Oh, no, sir,” said the elder of the
three, a man of superior address, who
looked as if he would like to invite me
homo with him to talk about the Con
stitution of the United States, if he
could be sure I was not a carpet-bag
ger. •
Said I: “My friend, I’ll bo par
boiled if you had any excuse for rebel
lion whatever. You had no good min
eral or animal reason, aud, unless I see
a vegetable reason before I leave
Charleston, in the shape of a palmetto
tree, I shall lose all confidence in hu
man nature.”
Said he: “If you will go about two
miles from this spot, to Mr. Campbell’s
yard, on Rutledge avenue, you will see
two beautiful specimens of the palmet
to of South Carolina.
I went. At Mr. Campbell’s yard I
looked with the rapacity of a burglar,
presently to slip over Mr. Campbell’s
wall; and I saw nothing whatever like
the storied palmetto, except a couple
of palm-like bushes, with a thin stem,
and slender, fern-like leaves. It both
ered me like a newspaper conundrum,
not one of which I ever guessed, to see
what this miserable little tassel of
green feathers had to do with the war
like instincts of a Commonwealth. How
could the British cannon-balls at Fort
Moultrie have been buried in the
trunks of this ailantus bush ?
It was at Columbia that I saw the
only real Palmetto tree, and that was
made of iron into a monument over
the dead of the State in the Mexican
war. It was a thick, short, reed-jointed
stem, branching in great rank cabbage
leaves at the top, with a bud of an ap
petizing kind above all. which sug
gested tomato-catsup. De'ended be
hind tho spongy trunk, subsisting like
a giraffe on the cabbage tops, the im
mortal—l presume no is immortal,
having got into the school histories—
Sergeant Jasper kept the flag of the
State flying over the tree. It became
the Palmetto State, and lost its nation
ality in the tree as our first parents,
Adam and Eve, lost their patrimony in
the tree of Knowledge of Good and
Evil. There is nothing like a vegeta
ble temptation. When the Irishman
attributed the cold weather to the ther
mometer, he was no thinner than the
South Carolinian expecting that the
Palmetto would enable him to strew
palms before the Union mule.
From the Palmetto tree to
THE BF7 "D
is a prompt transition. The buzzard
is the American eagle of South Caro
lina —I mean the turkey-buzzard.
After I had been in Charleston seve
ral days, I said to a friend :
“At Savannah, I presume, I shall
see the buzzards acting as market
scavengers.”
“ Why, no! South Carolina —
Charleston —is the buzzard’s field!”
Now, I had gone twice through the
market and seen no buzzards what
ever. My Theory had beeD, that the
buzzard and the butcher were in part
nership; that the buzzard kept stall
for the butcher, and demanded his
lights—everything being a right In
these days that we particularly want,
from car-fare up to female suffrage. I
went through the market. A sight of
the indigenous turkey-buzzard, or a
grave in Washington Abbey, was my
motto. The grave in Washington Ab
bey is stiil the perogative of Murat
Halstead, for I encountered the tur
key-buzzard.
He was a funeral bird, indeed. He
looked like an ornithological curate,
who wears tho rector’s old gowns, and
reads the prayers when the latter is
fox-hunting. He is shaved like a priest
all round tho head, and has a cloudy,
drunken eye. If a dog runs past him,
it appears to become a question wheth
er the dog or the buzzard is most
alarmed. Generally the buzzard flaps
bts wings aud limps about 6 feet off, at
which tho dog’s fear increases, and he
puts his tail between his legs and
scampers. The color of the buzzard is
a sort o! dull black, like shoe blacking
unpolished, with indications of brown
just glimmering through; and his
neck and head often have a kind of
coif of dirty white skin or feathers.
He is possessed of an unsociable dig
nity, and when he has picked the street
clean, flies up on the market house roof
and looks dismally on Nature and Pro
vidence. Ho does not press his atten
tions on the butcher, although protect
ed by law, like rny carrion official of
the city ; but keeps out in the street,
with his eye well skinned for oppor
tunities, striding up and down, and
hardly clucking. He presents tho in
carnation of a conqueror when he has
crawled inside of a dead horse, and
stands peeping through his ribs in a
sort of natural cage. When he is very
full, he flies to a tree top, in a tipsy
condition, and sweats like a negro. I
stood one morning eating bananas and
trying to derive some useful lesson
from the buzzard ; but it was no use.
He is the only aehual I over saw with
out a beautiful moral. Mr. Legare,
called Legree, wrote very charmingly
about him, and said that, when sailing
in the upper air upon his broad, baf
ancing wings, he animated the pros
pect I wonder that the boys do not
fly him like a kite, and pass messen
gers of meat up to him on the string
“ The buzzard is a mighty smart
bird,” said young McGrath to me.
“One of them came into Mrs. Jones’
yard with his wing hurt. They couldn’t
shoo him away till they dressed that
wing, He knew what he was about.”
The buzzard has one quality which
his human compatriots in the offices of
South Carolina might follow with ad
vantage. He disgorges.
AUGUSTA, GA., FRIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 23. 1874.
I Mused Last Night in Pensive Mood.
“Oh there’s nothing half so sweet in life
As love’s young dream! ”
I mused last night in pensive mood—
Albeit not often sentimental—
My heart was heavy and my frame
Was racked with aches—both head and
dental.
I say, as once I’ve said before,
My mood was somewhat sad and pensive,
I cast upon the Past a glance
Fond, lingering, and comprehensive.
I saw once more that mossy bank.
By which the river ripples slowly,
O’ershadowed by the silvery veil
Of willow branches drooping lowly,
Bestrewn with wild Spring flowerets dyed
In every color of the prism;
Where oft we sat, May Brown and I
Norover dreamed ol rheumatism.
We loved. Ah, yes! Some might have loved
Before us, In their humdrum fashion;
But never yet tho world had known
So wild, so deep, so pure a passion!
We recked not of the heartless crowd,
Nor heeded cruel parents’ frowning;
But lived in ono long blissful dream.
And spouted Tennyson and Browning.
And when the cruel fates decreed
That for a season I must leave her.
It wrung my very heart to see
How much our parting seemed to griovo
her.
Ono happy moment, too, her head
Reposed, so lightly, on myshouldor!
In dreams I live that scene again,
And in my arms again enfold her!
She gave me one long auburn curl,
She wore my picture in a locket;
Her letters, with blue ribbon tied,
I carried in my left coat-pocket.
(Those nobis, rose-scented and pink-hued,
Displayed more sentiment than knowl
edge).
I wrote about four times a week
That year I was away at College.
But oh, at length “ a change came o’er
Tho spirit of my dream! ” One morning
I got a chilly line from May,
in which, without the slightest warning,
She said she shortly meant to wed
Tom Barnes (a parson, fat and jolly) ;■
She sent my notes and ruby ring,
And hoped I would “forget my folly.”
I sent her all her letters back,
I called her false and Acldo-heartcd,
And swore I hailed with joy tho hour
That saw mo free. And so wo parted,
I quoted Byron by tho page,
1 smoked Havanas bv the dozens,
And then I went out West and fell
In love with all my pretty cousins!

MR. STEPHENS’ SPEECH.
Some Further and Additional Notice
of the Georgia Statesman’s Recent
Remarkable Address.
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 17,1874.
I have just heard Mr. Alexander
Hamilton Stephens deliver a speech
upon the political questions of the day
two hour aud twenty-three minutes
long.
This extraordinary statesman, who
was born in Taliaferro county, Georgia,
on the 11th day of February, 1812, and
who lias been thought to be a dying
man for the last five or six years, made,
last night, one of the greatest efforts of
his life. The elite of this preeminently
elite Southern city were in Girardey’s
beautiful opera-house to hear once
more that eloquent voice which has for
nearly half a century been accustomed
to thrill them. Augusta is his favorite
city. It has often differed with him—
when flying to arms in 18G1 he said to
it, you had better not; you had better
stay in the Union and there fight for
your rights, not with fire-arms, but
upon the forum. • He went to his coun
try home and Augusta went to war.
At 1% o’clock he came from behind
the scenes and upon the stage, sup
ported upon one side with a crutch and
on the other by Mr. Marcus, followed
by a dozen distinguished men, mostly
gray-haired and venerable looldng citi
zens. His walk, or rather hobble, was
painful. Arriving at the center of the
foot-lights, Mr. Marcus and Judge
Twiggs tenderly assisted him to sit
down, and then left him alone. What
a ghostly apparition ! Hair as white
as cotton, and still almost a full suit;
complexion such as appears to you
from the coffin just before burial, with
the exception of bis eyes, which are
still liquid black, and which seem to
rise and fall like illuminated waves as
they first survey the thousands of faces
in the dress circle and then the gallery.
In ten minutes he motions to his
friends, Marcus and Twiggs, who come
forward and raise him from tho chair,
hand his crutch and assist him to walk
a few steps to a framework breast high
and firmly screwed to the floor. He
leaned his crutch against the end of it
and then threw his long, bony arms
across the narrow surface, the hands
projecting and falling as if they scarce
ly had the strength to raise themselves.
Thus propped up, the old man elo
quent stood for two hours and twen
ty-three minutes without moving either
foot as much as one-sixteenth of an
inch. The only motion of any portion
of the body was tho right arm and the
head. His whole speech was the
thoughts, and in the tone and lan
guage, of a dying father to his chil
dren. He said he knew that he had
run his course, that his earthly career
was nearly at an end, that his record
bad been made up, that his life was
behind him.
* * * *
It is hardly necessary to add that his
vast audience hung upon his every
word, and save the applause only occa
sionally (tho speech was above ap
plause) given, you could hear a man
breathe from one side of the room to
the other. Anglo-Ciierokee.
The Duke of Northumberkand. —We
received, some days since, an impor
tant communication to tho effect that
his Grace, the Duke of Northumber
land, had become a convert to the Ro
man Catholic faith. In order to test
the accuracy of this statement, we sent
for information to Ainwick, aud learned
from a telegraphic dispatch that the
rumor had no foundation in fact. In
consequence, however, of a reiteration
of the original assertion, we, last night,
referred the report to one of the high
est authorities of the Catholic Church
in England, who, in answer to our in
quiries, asserts his firm belief in the
Duke’s conversion, and adds that his
Grace was lately admitted into commu
nion by the Bishop of Beverly.—Lon
don Daily Telegraph.
A Kentucky woman, who was re
peatedly annoyed by a crusty old
bachelor, who kept sending her ball
away from the wicket during a game
of croquet, aimed a blow at his head
with her mallet, but struck and ex
ploded a revolver in his pantaloons
pockets instead. The grand jury he&rd
of the case, and inflicted a fine upon
the cavalier for carrying concealed
weapons.
“ Mama, where do the cows get the
milk ?” asked Willie, looking up from
the foaming pan of milk which he had
been intently regarding. “ Where do
you get your tears ?” was the answer.
After a thoughtful silence, he again
broke out: Mama, do the cows have
to be spanked ?”

AGENTS WANTED!
#
Every Family to be Canvassed.
WE want local Agents everywhere, and
one General Agent in each State, for
Tlie Christian. Ag-e,
a weekly Journal of 16 pages, beautifully
printed, unsectional, unsectarian, a record
of Christian Thought, Effort and Progress;
of Current Literature and News; of Finance
and Commerce. It is to supply all Cris
tian Families throughout the country 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 causo 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 publish a sur
passingly Christian Newspaper. Wo
shall endeavor to make each weekly issue
transcend its predecessor.
DR. DEEMS’ SERMONS.
It is proposed to publish once a month
or oftener, 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 S3 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 ananged 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 activo 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 engago
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 bo made paya
ble at Station D, New York.
Send ten cents for specimen number.
