THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1874.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE EATE
ELECTIONS.
We have been struck with the
Cincinnati VoUcsblatt's views concerning
the late elections itr Ohio and Indiana.
A large part of theTlerman vote, hith
erto cast for the Republican party, was,
in a great measure, transferred to the
Democracy in these States, and thus
materially helped to secure victory.
Keeping this important fact in mmd,
the opinions of the Volksblatt have
great and important significance. This
leading German paper in the West
starts out by showing that these won
derful Democratic victories can not but
have a tremendous effect upon aU the
States which vote in November, and
ultimately upon the Presidential con
test. Having made these preliminary
observations, it thus continues :
How the Republican party will be able to
stem this tide, it is difficult to see. Of
course the party might take the right po
sition on the iinancial question, and there
by regain a moral hold, but then this
would only be of use to it if the Democrat
it party should take a wrong and destruct-,
ive position with regard to the currency.
But then this is not yet likely to be done.
The inflation bladder is as good as burst,
and wo cannot see upon what basis the Re
publican party can reorganize its shattered
ranks and make a successful contest.
The cry about outrages in the South no
longer draws. The Republican party has
had unrestricted power in the South for
years, and things have grown worse in
stead of better. The war questions have
been settled; the Administration is becom
ing constantly more unpopular, and the
tendency of the Republicans to make their
party a mere continuation of the Federal
ist and Whig parties, and to become con
stantly more thoroughly identified with
the so-callod paternal Governmental poli
cy, is becoming more evident every day.
If, therefore, the Democratic party does
not again commit acts, in consequence of
which the goblet will be struck from its
hands at the moment when it is about to
raise the same to its lips, wo believe the
end of the Republican party is at hand. Of
course, tho Democratic party understands
the art of self-destruction most admirably;
and on the supposition that it will again
exercise it, rests the hope of tho Republi
cans. Tho future will show whether this
hope is well founded or not.
Another good question is, whether the
Democratic party will yield to the de
niands of a sound public opinion and re
turn to the old and tried Jeffersonian prin
ciples. If it does this, something may be
expected of it. If it does not, it may pro
duce a change of persons, and make anew
division of spoils among its hungry ad
herents; but the evils from:which our
body politic is now suffering, and which
threaten to destroy its will re
main the same, and become only more
alarming.
As matters now stand, we anticipate no
thing at all from the Republican party, and
but very little from the Democratic. A re
vival of the old Jeffersonian idea might
bring about a good change; but then wo
have no sanguine hopes in this respect.—
Time will answer all questions.
There are two striking things in the
paragraphs above quoted. First, the
philosophical view of the situation,
taken by a paper edited by a man of
foreign birth ; and, second, the coinci
dence, in the main, between Mr. Ste
phens and the German publicist. We
are impressed with these views, not be
cause it is singular for a foreign-born edi
uu express mem, out because they
are so much more sensible than those
entertained by a considerable number
of native-born guides of public opinion.
The prime perils of Democracy are just
such as the Volksblatt points out—the
commission of some violence or some
error of policy which will cause the
fruit they gather to turn to dust and
ashes. If such men as Mr. Stephens
are listened to, instead of mere drama
tists and fiery, untamed orators, all
will be well with Democracy. If such
a man as Stephens, who never misleads
the people, is to give way to those who
have led us from one pitfall to another,
then tho Democracy will, as the* Volks
blatt says, have the goblet of triumph
dashed from their lips almost in the
very act of quaffing.
George Alfred. —The Bohemian
Townsend says South Carolina is the
only State of the South he has yet seen
where he would be willing to live. He
then gives a reason :
The State has been so suddenly, so totally
plunged into the hands of the negroes, that
the white people are chastened correspond
ingly, and ask terms. Their terms are
honest government and magnanimous
treatment from the negro majority. The
dream of Calhoun, the ghosts of a horrible
future which his gloomy nature aroused,
do not appear in the mildly exhaling land
scapes of this State. The Union has been
restored like peace to Cyprus by Othello's
sword; but there is something of magis
tracy in the negro’s rule.
At the same time, he admits that the
Charlestonians are a very fascinating
sort of people, and so they are.
Williams. —The New York Herald
3ays: “ The United States Marshals
and their Deputies in several of the
jlulf States are still rigorously hunting
ip and running down suspected Sher-
Bs, refractory White Leaguers and men
harged with Ku Klux affiliations. Can
t be that Attorney General Williams
las not yet heard of the Indiana and
)hio elections, or does he suppose that
he working up of Southern outrages
rill still serve as political capital in
iew York and Pennsylvania ? ”
Calhoun. —Mr. G. A. Townsend, in a
Jtter from Columbia, S. C., says:
Calhoun is nearly obliterated by the
pong© of events. I said to a Charleston
litor:
“ What do they think of him now ?”
“ They don’t think of him at all,” he said.
The present absorbs all thinking. Who
rer is dead now is dead altogether.”
As the spirits are said to be rampa
ng in Aiken, it would not be a bad
ea to have Calhoun’s opinion of
larlcston edito rs and South Carolina
>liticians.
Firemen. —The city of New Orleans
in debt to her lire department SIOO,-
). A suspension of the department
'eared unless the money be imme-
Itely forthcoming.
Jalloon. —A Cincinnati couple were
rried “ up in a balloon,” the other
r. Why anticipate events? The
>r devils will “ blow each other up
•-high,” before long.
A NUISANCE.
Ever since the establishment of the
new paper, the Republic, in New York,
the Times has grown more and more
eccentric and anti-administration. As
an evidence of the contempt felt for
the negro as a politician, we reproduce
tho following extract from correspond
ence relative to the Chattanooga Con
vention :
Indeed, but for tho colored man and
brother the convention would have been
unexceptionable in all its aspects. I re
member to have called him in my dispatch
es to-night an inexpressible nuisance in
politics, and upon reflection I find no rea
son for changing my opinion. This con
vention has given conclusive evidence that
the time has come for the Republican
party to cease coddling the negro. He has
been set upon his legs and must hence
forth bo left to stand alone. If he can’t do
it, tho fault is his own, and there is no
good reason why the party should tumble
down with him. It is true, he is a man and
brother, but so is Hans and Pat, so is the
“sandhiller,”and “ corncracker,” but it has
never been proposed that any political
party should be sacrificed In order that it
might serve tho particular interests of any
of theso men and brethren. The Chatta
nooga Convention was evidently of this
turn of mind, for its conduct was taken
peremptorily and without much ceremony
out of the hands of the colored man and
brother. By this Ido not mean such men
as Pinchback, who has sense and nerve
whatever his morals may be, but fellows of
the Long order, who are chiefly responsi
ble for the bad plight into which the ne
groes as a race have fallen as citizens.
So long as the negro was a useful
voting machine and did not hurt “ the
party,” he was everything lovely and
lovable. Now he is a squeezed lemon.
When Irishmen andGermans were need
ed to “ fight for the Union” what glori
ous fellows, they were to be sure ! Now,
they are the butt of Harper's Weekly
and the high-scented Republican dai
lies. How a party expects to thrive by
offending so many voting elements, it is
not so clear. But if the saints desire
to commit hari-kari, it would be a pity
to arrest them in their mad career.
THE NEW YORK HERALD ON
NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
A late number of tho New York
Herald has the following to say in re
gard to negro suffrage:
The elective franchise was given to the
Southern negroes, not because it was sup
posed they would exercise it with wisdom,
but because it was expected that the freed
men could be relied on as a counterpoise to
the Democratic party. Good government
in the South was the last thing that was
thought of. Universal negro suffrage was
adopted as a barrier against the old supre
macy of tho Democratic party in the South.
The motive which dictated it meets a suit
able reward. It has brought upon the
Republican party the disgrace and op
probrium of the ruinous carpet-bag gov
ernments, and has made it impos
sible for that party to sustain itself
in the South in any State where there
is a white majority. The Republican pol
icy has failed, not only In tho larger view
of pacifying the South, but in the narrow
party view of breaking Democratic su
premacy in tho Southern States. Every
Southern State, excepting the two or three
in which the negroes are a majority, is in
Democratic hands; and the misrule and
rapacity which prevail in theso two or
three States intensify the conviction that
ignorant negro supremacy is an unmiti
gated evil. The progress of the experi
ment has made the maintenance of the Re
publican party impossible in the majority
Cotton Claims. —It Is said that the
lawyers have already claims to $7,000,-
000 of the $15,000,000 involved in tho
cotton tax case. They will have the
whole thing, if some decision be not
reached pretty soon.
Fitch. —The son-in-law of Sherman
is to quit the navy and go into the
wire business. Wonder if he will
“ wire-pull ” for and the
Presidency ?
Speech-Making. —lt is generally ad
mitted that Grant’s speech at the un
veiling of the Lincoln monument was
the best made on that occasion. And
yet the telegraph dismissed it with a
sneer.
Alabama. —A New York Times cor
respondent concedes that Alabama will
go Democratic at the next election. He
says:
Tho Democrats are sure to make a net
gain of two Congressmen in Alabama;
they may do even more, for after that mar
velous result in Ohio it is difficult to im
agine what they cannot do in a Southern
State.
This must be pleasant reading for
Attorney General Williams. The soon
er he is sent to Siberia the better for
everybody.
[Montgomery (Ala.) Morning News.
The Late James Gardner.
This distinguished patriot, the form
er famous editor of the Augusta Con
stitutionalist (Georgia) in its most palmy
day—it is still an ably conducted jour
nal —died recently at his home near
Augusta, in his 62d year. He wa3 un
questionably a man of great ability, of
the strictest personal and politi
cal courage, and possessed of the
noblest heart. For a long period
he was accounted one of the fore
most leaders of public opinion in
Georgia, and but for his unsel
fishness would, no doubt, have held
many high an and lucrative offices. Since
the war "he seemed to find but little
conjeniality in pursuit of journalism,
to which, being a man of fortune, he
devoted himself as a matter of taste
and inclination, and had retired, in
a great measure, from the active po
litical world. We knew him personally
and entertained the highest respect
for him.

European Capitalists to Pay Southern

In July last there arrived in this
country the duly commissioned repre
sentative of European capitalists hold
ing upwards of $200,000,000 of bonds of
the Southern States, armed with the
power to affect with such States a set
tlement of their indebtedness, accord
ing to tho terms to be hereinafter set
forth. This gentleman is now here,
and as a partial result of his mission
he has affected settlements with tho
following States in the sums given:
Virginia. $34,000,000
South Carolina 10,000.000
North Carolina 20,000,000
Alabama 8,000,000
Arkansas (extra dobt) 3,500,000
Total $75,000,000
The eight million fraudulent debt of
South. Ocv-oli >—- .
but negotiations looking to an adjust
ment aro in progress. Tho terms of
settlement in all the States are in the
main similar. Tho general features of
the agreement are simply that in the
consideration of these States entering
into a contract and ratifying it by State
legislation, tho foreign bondholders
agree to fund the debt, principal and
interest, and extend the time of pay
ment of the principal for thirty years
at four to five per cent, interest, as
may be agreed. His visit to this city
is for the purpose of effecting the same
arrangements as to our State debt, and
he has been in conference with Gov.
McEnery and other gentlemen; but,
owing to the unsettled condition of our
affairs, he has not yet attempted to
give the matter, in this State, of
ficial shape. Tho draft of a bill, to be
submitted to the various State Legisla
tures in ratification of tho contract, has
been approved by the executives of
the States that have already agreed to
a settlement, and its passage will be
urged by the respective governments.
This gentleman states that he has au
thority to settle with Louisiana for her
entire debt, foreign and domestic, prin
cipal and interest, and to extend the
debt thirty years, and will accept new
funded bonds at four per cent., but is
only deterred for the reasons already
alluded to. The act whose ratification
by the States effecting the settlement
is indicated, provides a sinking fund
for the positive redemption of the prin
cipal, and vests in the holders and
owners of such new bonds absolute
power and authority to enforce tho
levy and collection of taxes as author
ized by the act to pay the interest and
to provide the sinking fund to pay the
principal.

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 modicines that will stop a oough
will occasion the death of the patient; they
lock up the liver, stop tho circulation of the
blood, hemorrhage follows, and in fact they
clog tho action of tho very organs that caused
the cough..
Liver Complaint and Dyopepsia are the
causes of two-thirds of the cases of Consump
tion. Many persons complain of ad .11 pain
in the side, constipation, coated tongue, pain
in the shoulder-blade, feelings of drowsiness
and restlessness, tho food lying heavily on the
stomach, accompanied with acidity and belch
ing up of wind.
Theso symptoms usually originate from a
disordered condition of the stomach or a tor
pid liver.
Persons so affectod. if they take one or two
heavy colds, and if tho cough in these cases
be suddonly checkod, will find tho stomach
and liver clogged, remaining torpid and in
active, and almost before they are aware the
lungs are a mass of sores, and ulcerated, the
result of which is death.
Schenck’s •Pulmonic Syrup is an expecto
rant which does not contain opium or.any
thing calculated to check a cough suddenly.
Schenck’s Sea Weod Tonic dissolves the
food, mixes with tho gastric juices of the
stomach, aids digostion and creatos a raven
ous appetite.
When the bowels are costive, skin sallow, or
the symptoms otherwise of a bilious tenden
cy, Schonck’s Mandrako Pills aro required. 4
These medicines aro propared only by
J. H. SCHENCK & SON,
