THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
TUESDAY, JANUAIiY 5,1875.
THE SPANISH DRAMA.
The sudden transformation of Spain
from a so-called Republic into a mon
archy, by the calling of Prince Alfonso
to the throne, renders the following
historical summary most interesting.
We quote from the Chicago Tribune:
The Austrian family which ascended
the throne in the person of Charles I.
(Emperor Charles V.), in 1516, ended in
the person of Charles 11., who died
without issue in 1700. By his will he
bequeathed the crown to Louis XIY. of
France, who had married the sister of
the Spanish King. The crown was also
claimed by Leopold I. of Austria, who
had married another sister. A war en
sued, in which netuly all Europe took
part for thirteen years. By the peace
of Utrecht, in 1713, Philip, the grand
son of Louis XIV., was conllrmed as
King of Spain, by yielding Naples, Sar
dinia, Belgium, and other States to
Austria, and Gibraltar to England. In
1808 his grandson, Charles IV, was
compelled by Napoleon to abdicate,
and Prince Ferdinand was also com
pelled to renounce all claim to the suc
cession. In 1814, after Joseph Bona
parte was driven out of Spain by the
British troops, Ferdinand VII. was
proclaimed King, to the exclusion
of his father. Ferdinand had two
brothers : 1. Charles, or Don Carlos.
2. Francis De Paula. By the law of
Spain, females were excluded from the
succession. Ferdinand had buried three
wives, and, having no children, Don
Carlos was the heir-presumptive. In
1829 he married Maria Christina of
Naples, by whom, in quick succession,
he had two daughters,—lsabella, born
in 1830, and Maria Louisa, born in
1832. Ferdinand died in September,
1833, having some time previously
issued a decree abolishing the law ex
cluding females, thus cutting Don Car
los off from the succession. Ferdinand
had been a most unmitigated despot,
as his father had been before him, and
Don Carlos was expected to be worse.
The whole nation therefore sustained
Isabella, then 3 years old, who was pro
claimed Queen under the regency of
her mother. Don Carlos at once be
gan a war, which lasted six years, and
was remarkable for its cruelty and
atrocity. In 1813, the Queen being 13
years old, was declared by the Cortes
to be of full age. An intrigue then
began in Europe for the mar
riage of the Queen. Louis Philippe of
France, who had several unmarried
sons, and who exercised a sort of guar
dianship over the Spanish family, was
forced to make a pledge that he would
not marry either of his sons to Isabel
la. In 1846 he was successful in ac
complishing the marriage of theQueeu
to her cousin, Francis d’Assisi, son of
Francis de Paula, thus uniting the old
er and younger lines of the family to
the exclusion of the line of Don Carlos.
The other daughter, Maria Louisa,
was married at the same time to An
thony, Duke of Montpensier, son of
Louis Philippe.' It was supposed, then,
that the French King had practised an
intentional fraud. The husband of the
Queen was understood to be but little
better than an imbecile, in which case
the Spanish crown would be likely to
fall to the descendants of the French
Prince.
Isabella, however, had a number of
children, of whom five survive. The
second of these is Alphonso, who was
born in 1857, and is consequently now
between 17 and 18 years of age. Her
sister, the Duchess of Montpensier,
has ten children, including several
sons.
After his unsuccessful war, Don Car
los, who had been living iu France, re
moved to Trieste, in Austria, where he
died in 1855. Previous to this, how
ever he had renounced the throne in
favor <>f his son, Count Montmoliu.
In 1860 the Count was proclaimed King
by Gen. Ortega, but there w T as no pop
ular response. In the same year Mont
molin and his brothers, John and Fer
dinand, were arrested ; they renounced
all claim to the throne and were re
leased, and subsequently repudiated
the renunciation. Montmolin and Fer
dinand died in 1861. In 1863 John re
nounced in favor of his son Charles,
who was born in March, 1848. and who
is the present claimant to the throne
as Don Carlos.
In January, 1868, a military insur
rection took place in Spain under Gen.
Prim. This insurrection increased du
ring the year, and on the 29th of Sep
tember, 1868, Queen Isabella left Spain
for France, where she has continued
to reside ever since, A monarchical
constitution was adopted, and the
Cortes sought diligently for a King. In
July, 1870, the Regency offered the
crown to Prince Leopold of Hohen
zollern. This offer was used as a pre
text for the controversy between France
and Prussia which ended in the war
that dethroned Napoleon Ilf. and
founded the German Empire. In No
vember, 1870, the crown was offered to
Amadeus, second son of Victor Emanuel
of Italy, who accepted it, was crowned
King in January, 1871. Early in 1873
he abdicated and left Spain, and the
country has since been ruled as a sort
of a Republic.
On the 24th of June, 1870, Isabella
formally renounced the throne in favor
of her son, Alphonse. In 1871 Don
Carlos entered Spain, and has since
then been engaged in prosecuting a
war to recover the throne. The Span
ish Republic has never had any sub
stance. The Spanish people have no
knowledge of Republicanism, and the
Spanish nobility and politicians abhor
it. The Government has been called a
Republic for the want of a monarch.
On the question of “ right,’* as recog
nized in royal successions, Alphonse is
propably entitled to the crown ; but
what Spain wants is peace, and to have
peace there must be some head select
ed to the support of which the country
will generally unite. It is possible
that this boy will unite the best ele
ments of Spain, and be the means of
giving peace to the distracted and mis
erable kingdom.
The sum of $lO has been lying on a
table in Alton, N. H., for nearly two
years. A man tried to make a legal
tender of the sum to John W, Currier,
but he refused it, and it has been left
on the table ever since.
Never was there a State like Ken
tucky to throw away her natural ad
vantages. She raised a thousand tons
pf hemp, this year, and—sold it.

The City Government and the At
tacks on Mayor Estes.
Editor of the bormitutionaUst:
Without wishing to impeach the mo
tives of any one, but acting s from the
promptings of my own conscience. I
now enter my protest against the re
cent attacks made in the city papers
against our present Mayor. I have
been a citizen of Augusta for thirty
years and pay a large amount of taxes
for the support of the city government,
and during this long period I have
never known a man who discharged
the duties of the office of Mayor with
the ability or the industry of Mr. Estes.
I have watched him closely. He does
more work than any two men I ever
knew in that office. Objection has now
been raised to the pitiful sum paid
him, $2,500, or rather that this salary
has been raised t o $3,000. it is ques
tionable whether we could get a man
competent to do the work for that
money. It is certain that no private
corporation or business could ob
tain the services of a man with
sufficient ability to discharge such
onerous and responsible duties for such
a small sum of money. It is no more
than a respectably paid book-keeper
gets. I believe in paying our public
officers a sufficient amount to receive
the services of worthy, competent and
honest men. A city in this respect may
be “ pennywise and pound foolish.” I
hereby assert, without fear of success
ful contradiction, that Mayor Estes
earns twice the sum annually paid him
by the city. He simply devotes his
whole time and undivided attention to
its best interests. No man ever tried
harder to fill the office fully, acceptably
and satisfactorily. He takes a pride in
it, and I think few people in Augusta
doubt that he has the welfare of the
city at heart.
As to the grading and sewering of
Broad street, I fully agree with the
Mayor and the City Council that this
work should be done. It is now the
worst looking street in the city of Au
gusta. From market to market there
is a ravine running through the centre,
almost everywhere impassable. Why
all the other streets have been proper
ly graded and made beautiful, and the
main business street, and the very one
above all others which should be kept
in perfect order, is so much neglected
I cannot see ; and why such a storm of
objections when the City Council has,
at last, determined to put it in order ?
I think it comes more from the cap
tious spite of men than from their bet
ter judgment. And, in addition to
this gully, there is a line of telegraph
poles running along it—ugly, unsight
ly, altogether abominable, and a great
obstruction to the commerce of the
street. I ■will hail the day when this
thoroughfare shall present a level ap
pearance, and these pol s be taken
down.
Again : It is well known that our
city is sometimes visited by yellow fe
ver, and it is also well known that this
fatal disease feeds upon filth. Do any
of your readers remember the yellow
fever at Buenos Ayres year before last,
when twenty-five per cent, of the whole
population died from it? In investi
gating the cause of the scourge, it was
found t hat there was not a sower in the
whole city. The excresenee of the
population was suffered to remain
where le f t for ages. And then nature,
as nature always does, revolted against
the insult to its laws. Nor need we go
to South America to to find that when
ever people allow their city to grow
foul with filth, heaven is sure to send a
scourge either in the form of cholera,
yellow fever, or some other pestilence,
upon them. A large percentage, fully
seventy-five, I think, of the diseases
with which men die are tracable to un
cleanly persons, premises or abodes.
Looking at this matter in this light,
the sewerage of Broad street should be
made perfect. It is our great business
mart. Here we meet to transact our
daily business. Our men of business
spend half their lives breathing its at
mosphere. It is therefore much more
liable to become foul than any other
street we have. Instead of its being
kept in its present abominably filthy
and broken condition, with its forest
of old telegraph poles, it should be
kept as clean as a house floor, as
pure as a green sward. There is no
way to do this I know of except with
good sewers. They will cost money.
The property holders along it reap the
profits and they should most willingly
pay for it.
The affairs of a city with those of
every individual should at all times be
conducted updfi principles of economy.
But economy does not consist in the
withholding of expenditures actually
necessary. If it is therefore necessary
for the sanitary condition of Augusta
for it to be properly and perfectly
drained, no expenditure could scarcely
be too great. In a monetary point of
view I know of no calamity which
could befall us worse than a visit of
yellow fever. It has twice been here ;
each time after the lapse of fourteen
and twenty years. It is now just twenty
since it has been here last. Why doe3
it not visit plantations half a mile from
the city? Because they are clean. Sweep
the city of all impurities, force men to
keep their premises in order 1 and force
the Mayor and Council to cleanse the
streets and I undertake to say that
that scourge will never be here again.
As nature sends the thunder and
lightning to clear the atmosphere of its
murkiness so does it revolt against im
purities on the earth by striking dead
their author.
Once more: The Mayor is berated
for expenditures for the Augusta
Canal—a property which will be a bless
ing to the city for the next thousand
years ; a property and improvement to
which we are indebted for one bird of
our population and one-tenth of our
revenue; a property which has at
tracted immense capital here, and
which anyone with any ordinary fore
sight can see will attract millions
more. It is now the most magnificent
possession held by any city in the South.
One great incubus upon the progress
of the South is that class of its people
who object to every public improve
ment, no matter what may be its ne
cessity. They have fought against the
building of every railroad, of every
common dirt road, of every improve
ment of canals, of every street, of
every pavement, of water works—of
everything which cost a little money.
They never can be made to understand
that by taxing their property one dol
lar to make an improvement it would
enhance it more than two. Show them
in letters of fire that, by the city ex
pending $500,000 upon a canal, it would
bring $500,000 annually into it for five
hundred years, which it would not
otherwise get, and they still will op
pose making it. Fortunately they are
only simply a stumbling block in the
road to manifest destiny, and not able
to avert it. Augusta.

Lost at Sea.
T. B. ALDRICH IN THE ATLANTIC, IN MEMORY
OF RALPH KEELER.
The solemn head that Guido drew
Looks down from out its leafy hood—
The holly berries, gleaming through
Ihe pointed leaves, seem drops of blood.
Above the cornice, round the hearth,
Are evergreens and spruce-tree boughs;
lis Christmas morning; Christmas mirth
And joyous voices fill the house.
I pause, and know not what to do;
I feel reproach that I am glad;
unlil to-day, no thought of you,
O Comrade! ever made me sad.
But now the thought of your blithe heart,
Your ringing laugh, can give me pain,
Knowing that we are worlds apart,
Not knowing we shall meet again.
For all is dark that lies in store!
Though they may preach, the brotherhood,
We know just this and nothing more,
That v*e are dust, and God is good.
What life begins when death makes end?
Sleek gownsman, it’s so very clear?
How fares it with us?—Oh, my friend,
I only know you are not here!
That I am in a warm, light room,
With life and love to comfort me,
While you are drifting through the gloom,
Beneath the sea, beneath the sea!
O wild green waves that lash the sands
Of Santiago and beyond,
Lift him, I pray, with gentle hands,
And bear him on—true heart and fond !
To some still grotto far below
The washings of the warm Gulf Stream
Bear him. and let the winds that blow
About the world not break his dream !
—I smooth my brow. Upon the stair.
1 hear my children snout in glee,
With sparkling eyes and dancing hair,
Bringing a Christmas wreath for me.
Their joy, like sunshine deep and broad,
Falls on my heart, and makes me glad;
I think the face of our dear Lord
Looks down on them, and seems not sad !

B. Becker, aged about twenty-six years,
was killed in a fight with Scott Hibley,
at Newton, on Thursday night, it
seems Hibley insulted Becker’s wife.
The latter met Hibley on the street
and knocked him down, injuring him
severely. A half hour later Hibley
started after Becker, swearing revenge.
They again met in the street, and a
second struggle ensued, during which
Hibley drew a large jack-knife and
stabbed Becker in the right side of the
neck, making a fearful gash and sever

Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic,
and Mandrake Pills.
THESE DESERVEDLY CELEBRATED
and popular medicines have effected a revo
lution in the healing art, and proved the fal
lacy of several maxims which have for many
years obstructed the progress of medical
science. The false supposition that “ Con
sumption is Incurable” deterred physicians
from attempting to find remedies for that
disease, sqid patients afflicted with it recon
ciled themselves to death without making an
effort to escape from a doom which they sup
pssed to be unavoidable. It is now proved,
however, that Consumption can be cured, aud
that it has been cured in a very great number
of cases—some of them apparently desperate
ones—'by Sehenck’s Pulmonic Syrup alone;
and in other cases by tho same medicine, in
connection with Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills, one or both, according
io the requirements of the case.
Dr. Schenck himself, who enjoyed uninter
rupted good health for more than 40 years,
was supposed, at one time, to be at the very
gate of death, his physicians having pro
nounced. his case hopeless, and abandoned
him to his fate. He was cured by the afore
said medicines,and, since his recovery, many
thousands similarly affocted have used Dr.
Schenck s preparations with the eamo re
markable success.
Full directions accompany each, making it
not absolutely necessary to personally see Dr.
Schenck, unless patients wish their lungs ex
ammed, and for this purnose ho is profes
sionally at his principal office, corner of
Sixth and Areh streets, Philadelphia, every
Monday, where all letters for advice must be
addressed. Schenk’s medicines are sold by
