THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24,1874.
[Correspondence of the Constitutionalist.
An Interesting Letter from the
Carolinas.
Charlotte, N. C., December 21,1874.
Editor Constitutionalist:
In my last letter I promised.to write
you from Newberry, but my stay there
was so short, aud my time was so
much oceupifd by business, that it was
impossible for me to do pso. I have
been very fortunate recently in meet
ing with Gen. Samuel McGowan, at
Abbeville, C. E., where I had the
pleasure of interrogating him upon
many points of interest to his friends.
I found Gen. McGowan to be an affable
and polite gentleman, a splendid speci
men of the refined Southerner. All
who knew him during the late war tes
tily to his courage and ability as an
ofllcer, and as a private citizen he is
beloved by all classes of the people for
his benevolence and the kindness he
extends to the humblest of his neigh
bors. He is regarded as the Ulysses
of his people. Feeling much interest
in the contested election of McGowan
agaiimt the carpet bagger Hoge, I de
termined to interview the General upon
that aud kindred topics. After seating
me in a spacious arm chair and supply
ing me with a fine Havana, the follow
ing colloquy occurred :
Correspondent—l have called, Gen
eral, to ascertain your intentions rela
tive to making a contest against Hoge,
in the next United States Congress.
McGowan—lt is very distasteful to
me to go on to Washington and enter
into a contest against a sitting mem
ber, but duty to this people requires
that I leave no stone unturned to pre
vent the seating of such a chronic
stiver up of strife as Hoge has been
since he has taken up his abode in
South Carolina. Why, sir, in my hum
ble opinion, this man Hoge. and a ne
gro named Randolph, who was killed
in Hoge’s presence after they had each
delivered an incendiary speech—were
the immediate cause of the outbreak
by the persecuted yeomanry of the
upper counties, in 1870. These men,
especially Hoge, uttered the most in
flammatory remarks to the colored
race, inciting them to ev.ery species of
outrage upon the whites. It would as
tonish the world to be informed of the
number of barns and dwellings the de
luded negroes burned, under the teach
ings of Hoge and his allies. He never
delivers a speech without catering
to the worst prejudices of the negro
—recounting in the most vivid style
the horrors of “ the slave lash, and
the slave pen.”
Indeed, he has but one speech which
he invariably delivers, which is calcu
lated to arouse only the basest pas
sions of an ignorant race. He even
had the audacity to denounce Gov.
Scott, who belonged to his own party,
because he called in the arms of the
militia in some of the counties where
they had been improperly used. His
whole ambition seems to be to create,
prejudice on the part of the negro
against the white man of Southern
birth, and others who are in favor of
preserving amity between the races. It
is difficult to conceive how a Congress,
composed of honest men, could hesi
tate for a moment to weigh well the
many grounds upon which my contest
will be based, and refuse to seat this
ignorant demagogue.
Correspondent—l have heard that
the counties composing your district
are not ‘ contiguous.”
McGowan —“ They are not, as Rich
land county is some thirty miles from
Newberry, when it should join to make
it contiguous. I learn that Hoge is
now trying to have the Legislature cor
rect the error, but it is too late. His
majority over me in the residue of the
district was only nine hundred votes,
which would have been reversed had it
not been for the presence of the mili
tary in Lawrens county. Hundreds of
innocent young men in that county,
who were hounded down by Merrill
aod his crew in 1872, were afraid to go
to the polls and vote for me, lest they
would subject themselves to arrest and
persecution, as Wallace, the United
States Marshal, bad his deputies all
over that county with warrants two
years old threatening the arrest of
every Democia^”
Correspondent—General, can you ac
count for the difference in your dis
trict which has taken place since 1868 ?
In that year Hoge was beaten by J. P.
Reed by nearly 4,000 votes, while now
this man Hoge claims to be elected by
nearly 3,000 votes.
McGowan—At that time there was a
fair election, the affidavits of perjured
witnesses, procured by Hoge, to the
contrary notwithstanding. If you will
examine our election returns you will
see that all over the State there
been a gradual Democratic gain, while
ia the last, election there was a large
- decrease of the Democratic vote in this
district, which can be accounted for in
the wholesale intimidation which was
practiced by the Republicans. Had I
been defeated by a gentleman like
Scott, or any other decent Republican,
I would not have minded it mm h, but
had such an one opposed me, I certain
ly would have gotten the vote of my
party entire, as I am confident they
would not have lowered themselves to
the extent that Hoge did in his despe
rate efforts at intimidation. I must
believe that my chances for ousting
Hoge are decidedly good. I have been
the recipient of many letters from di
vers portions of the republic urging me
to make the contest, several promi
nent statesmen representing both po
litical organizations being amongst the
number.
Thus terminated the General’s views
on the situation, aud lain confident,
from some private information which
he gave me, and which it would be im
practicable to make known at this
time, that he will be accorded the seat,
and prove a valuable auxiliary to Ste
phens, Beck and others, who are striv
ing so hard to restore our fallen coun
try to its original respectability. I
was gratified to learn, while in South
Carolina, that ex-G-ov. Scott, Senator
T. J. Robinson, and nearly all respect
able Republicans, favor the seating of
Gen. McGowan, and the former gen
tleman expects to be iu Washington on
the convening of the new Congress,
prepared to render valuable assistance
in the premises: It is rumored in
South Carolina that the present Legis
lature wiU in aU probability pass a
joint resolution requesting Congress to
overhaul “ Honest John,” and inquire
Into the means resorted to by him to
m flail y
secure his election as Senator. Should
Congress be induced to enter into an
investigation, there is no doubt that he
would be kicked out of the Senate.
Patterson, it is said, warmly urges the
admission of the two new territories,
hoping thereby to gain four votes, who
he expects to stand by him “ when
the hour of his calamity cometh.” —
.Chamberlain is making a splen
did Governor, and already has snubbed
enough leading Radicals to show the
remainder of them that there must be
au end to stealing from an impoverish
ed people. Blodgett has come to grief,
and was unceremoniously put out of
the Treasurer’s office in Newberry, by
Gov. Chamberlain. In making his ap
pointments, the Governor has entirely
overlooked the carpet-baggers, many
of whom are swearing venganee
against him. With a few years of
honest government South Carolina can
be brought out of the terrible condi
tion in which she has been placed by
such men as Hoge and Moses, who
have proven a curse to that unhappy
State. The credit is particularly
due to the Legislature for in
stituting these reforms. Could Scott
have had honest legislatures, aud
an honest and efficient Treasurer, such
as is the present incumbent, Cardozo,
his administrations would have proven
eminently successful. But what could
he be expected to accomplish with such
fiends incarnate to contend with as
Hoge, Worthington, Whittemore, Moses
and their allies’ who successfully com
batted him at every stage of the con
test and extracted the last dollar from
the Treasury. When the history of
the re-construction of South Carolina
is truthfully written, which a leading
ex-official is now engaged upon—some
startling developments will come to
light which will seriously compromise
not a few who have hitherto managed
to escape the denunciations of an out
raged people.. Charlotte is a very
thriving town. No place within my
knowledge has kept pace with it on
the score of improvements within the
past decade. When the noble Lee sur
rendered in 1865, I stopped here to
“ brush away the dust ” aud calm my
wounded pride at the defeat which had
befallen us. New stores, new hotels,
fine flower yards and comfortable pri
vate residences are met on every side.
There is one drawback to Charlotte.—
It is too much like the fussy, dirty,
turbulent city of Atlanta on the score
of muddy streets. The mud on the
principal street is knee deep from Oc
tober to May. Could it not be conveni
ently McAadamized? I think the
rocks would stick fast in the red clay.
The favorite drink here is corn whis
key and apple Jack. Well steamed up
with these stimulants, with a liberal
supply of “ tobacky,” the average North
Carolinian is happy.
Hiawassee.
How is This lor Eye?
The grey eye is the peculiar eye of
women. Aud here we meet with va
riety enough to puzzle Solomon him
self. We will pass over in silence the
sharp, the shrewdish, spiteful, the
cold and the wild grey eye; every one
has seen them—too often perhaps.
But then again, there are some beau
tiful enough to drive one wild, and it
is them which we mean. There is a
dark, sleepy, almon-shaped grey eye,
with long black lashes—it goes with
the rarest face on earth—that sultana
like beauty of jet black hair, and a
complexion that is neither dark or
fair —almost a cream color, if the truth
must be told—and soft and rich as the
leaf of the calla Ethiopia itself. Di
rectly opposite to this is the calm,
clean f rey eye—the eye that reasons,
when this only feels, it looks you
quietly in the face ; it views you kind
ly, but, alas, disappointedly ; passion
rarely lights it. and love takes the
steady blaze of friendship when he
tries to hide within. The owner of
that eye is upright, conscientious and
pitying his fellow men, even while at a
loss to understand their vagaries. It
is the eye for a kind and considerate
physician, for a conscientious lawyer
(if such a man there be), for a worthy
village pastor, for a friend as faithful
as any poor human being can be.
Last of the grey comes the most
mischievous; and a soft eye, with a
large pupil, that contracts and dilates
with a word, a thought, or a flash of
feeling ; that has its sunlight, its moon
beams and its storms; a wonderful
eye, that wins you whether you will or
not, and holds you even after it has
cast you off. No matter if the features
are irregular and the complexion vary
ing, the eye holds you captive, and
then laughs at your very charms.
Sharp Shooting.—“ Father, what
does a printer live on ?”
“ Live on ?—the same as other
folks, of course. Why do you ask,
Johnny?”
“ Because you said yon hadn’t paid
anything for your paper, and the prin
ter still sends it to you.”
“ Wife, spank that boy.”
“ I shan’t do it.”
“ Why not ?”
“ Because there is no reason to.”
“No reason? Yes there is. Spank
him ;I tell you, and put him to bed.”
“ I shan’t do any such thing. What
in the world do you want him spanked
for ?”
“ He is too smart.”
“ WeU, that comes of your marrying
me.”
“ What do you mean ?”
“ I mean just this, that the boy is
smarter than his father, and you can’t
deny it. He knows enough to see that
a man, printer or no pinter, can’t live
on nothing ; and I should think you
would be ashamed of yourself not to
know as much. ”
King Kalakana has a little axe to
grind in Washington. It is sugar. In
1873 the Hawaiian group of islands
bought American products to the ex
tent of 3836,522. Hawaii grows sugar,
which the king desires to sell to us free
of duty, a policy which Louisiana is
opposed to, as coming directly in com
petition with that State. The question
for consideration is, whether we can af
ford to let in a small amount of free
sugar from Hawaii in exchange for the
trade which we can to a great extent
command, and which in time may be of
some Importance to us. Last year we
bought of the British, Dutch, and
Spanish East Indies and Cuba 3107,-
000.000. and Hawaii imported only one
and a half per cent, of the amount of
sugar purchased from foreign nations.
It is a question mainly for Louisiana to
fight, and at present, perhaps, it would
not injure her to concede the point,
[St, Louis Republican.
Miss Kellogg says that American
girls have the sweetest voices in the
world. When one of them puts her
mouth to a hole in the fence and “hol
lers” to the girl next door to “fetch back
them crimping irons,” it fills the air
with melody.
AUGUSTA, GA.. THURSDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 84, 1874.
A Woman’s Prayer.
Why do we quarrel? Oh, love, was it well,
We, bounden by ties too many to tell,
Should play our part So ill:
That now, when we meet, I may not lay
My hand in your cordial clasp and say,
“ God bless you, darling!” still?
We used to finish our letters so.
In the dear old day of long ago,
Ere ever we learnt to thrill
At the touch of each other’s hands, and
burn
With a troubled, trembling, sweet concern,
God bless you, darling, still!
But you were hasty, and I was proud;
And’neither spirit was cowed
By presage of coming ill.
For you left me; .and I—J let you go;
Nor shadow or sorrow I deigned to show,
God bless you, darling, still!
Yes, I say it now, though we meet so cold,
With never a word of the days of old,
And never a 6mile to fill
The aching void in others’ heart;
Yes, love, mine echoes before we part,
God bless you, darling, still!
Surveyors Saved by a Horse.
Some years since a party of survey
ors had just finished their day’s work
in the northwestern part of Illinois,
when a violent snow storm came on.
They started for their camp, which
was in a forest of about eighty acres
in a large prairie, nearly twenty miles
from any other trees. The wind was
blowing very hard, and the snow drift
ing so as to nearly blind thorn.
When they thought they had nearly
reached their camp, they all at once
came upon footsteps in the snow.—
These they looked at with care, and
found, to their dismay, that they were
their own tracks. It was now plain
that they were lost on the great
prairie, and if they had to pass the
night there, in the cold and snow, the
chance was that not one of them would
be alive iu the morning. While they
were shivering with fear and cold, the
chief man caught sight of one of their
horses, a gray pony known as old Jack.
Then the chief said : “If any one
can show us our way to camp, out of
this blindidg snow, old Jack can do it.
I will take off his bridle and let him
loose, and we can follow him. I think
he will show us our way back to
camp.”
The horse, as soon as he found him
self free, threw his head and tail in the
air, as if proud of the trust that had
been put upon him. Then he snuffed
the breeze, and gave a loud snort,
which seemed to say, “ Come on boys!
Follow me ; I’ll lead you out of this
scrape.” He then turned in anew di
rection, and trotted along, but not so
fast that the men could not follow him.
They had not gone more than a mile
when they saw the cheerful blaze of
their camp Arcs, and they gave a loud
huzza at the sight, and for old Jack.
[Columbus Enquirer.
Worthy of Note.
We know a lady in this city who, al
though her husband commands a good
salary, does her own cooking and
household work-in fact, all home
work except washing and scouring.—
She does this of her own volition for
the purpose of economy and with the
desire to aid her husband in the strug
gle of life. She was once the daughter
or one of the well to do citizens of Co
lumbus, aud unlike many others of
this class she does not sit down to re
pine over the change in her condition,
but works with cheerful courage for
present, ruin and future happiness.—
She is setting a noble example for her
sisters of this down-trodden and im
poverished land, and one which all
should strive to emulate.
With such a spirit on the part of
Southern women, prosperity will again
return to our waste places, and peace
and happiness to our homes. God
bless our noble women, who, accepting
the situation, labor with head, heart
and hand, to build up and restotr our
ancient prosperity and greatness.
Tha men, seeing such a self-sacrific
ing spirit on the part of their wives and
daughters, will take fresh courage in
the conflict with poverty, and soon the
South will be herself again.
A chap from the Western part of the
State went to bed at one of the hotels
the other night, and blew out his gas
instead of turning it off. The gas
rushed out, the room was close, and in
about half an hour the smell became
so strong that the stranger got out of
bed, opened the door and shouted for
the clerk. The clerk came up aud de
manded to know what was up. “I
never stopped in Detroit over night
before,” replied the stranger, “ and I
don’t know but this smell is all right,
but it ’pears to me as if something had
busted somewhere.”
Jerroldwas generous to a fault. He
never would say no. His purse—when
he had a purse—was at every man’s
service. If he possessed a shilling
somebody would get a sixpence of it
from him. He had a lending look of
which many took advantage. The first
time he ever saw Tom Dibdin, that
worthy gentleman and song-writer
said to him : “ Youngster, have you
sufficient confidence in me to lend me a
guinea?” “Yes,” said Jerrold, “I have
all the confidence, but I haven’t the
guinea! ”

Every Family to be Canvassed.
WE want local Agents everywhere, and
one General Agent in each State, for
The Christian Age,

printed, unseetioual, 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 througnout 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 publish 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 oftener, a full report or abstract of a
Sermon or Lecture by Rev. Dr. Deems.
Thus the thousands from dinerent, parts of
the land who crowd the “Church of the
Strangers” will have a memorial of the
service which they attended, or the repre
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 handre to advantage,
ana giro 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!
EemitUinces 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, Now York.
