TME CONSTITUTIONALIST
THURSDAY, JANUARY 7,1875.
LOUISIANA.
In hi, 3 last message to Congress,
President Grant flung into the faces of
that body the responsibility for all the
bad laws under which Louisiana is
groaning, and grimly stated he would
execute those laws with “rigor,” so
long as they stood upon the statute.
He is carrying out his idea and admo
nition with a vengeance. A higher
handed and more atrocious usurpation
of power, founded upon evil enact
ments, than that of Sheridan at New
Orleans, never occurred in the history
of a free people, so-called. The New
York press stigmatize it as it deserves
to be, and we hope that mass meetings
will be held everywhere over the North
to condemn this Infamy of the modern
Claverhouse, and thereby let the pa
triots now struggling for free institu
tions in Congress understand that the
wave of absolutism and Radical malev
olence, backed by a bullying dragoon
and his minions, must spend its force
and perish on the Louisiana reef.
The attitude of the people of Louis
iana, under such provocation, is com
mendable and sublime. Let them
keep the peace, refuse co-operation
with any political compromise, while
Sheridan rides rough-shod over their
civic rights, and leave their case to the
country. The gage thrown down by
Sheridan has already been boldly taken
up by the Northern press and people as
well as by Congress. The alarm created
by this latest raid upon State Sovereign
ty is like that “ fire-bell in the night ”
which made Thomas Jefferson tremble
for the future of his country. Well
may Belmont Democrats and liberal
Republicans stand aghast at the “ re
sults of the war.” The sooner they
retrace their steps and understand that
no other alternative exists save a res
toration of Constitutional Liberty or a
species of Asiatic despotism, the better
will It be for them, their children and
their precious bonds, not to speak of
the rags and lampblack which some
people call currency.
Just about this time it has been re
called that one hundred years ago Gen.
Gage was doing in Boston what Gen.
Sheridan is now doing in New Orleans.
That is a fact worth considering by
Boston and the North generally. It is
a fact which must give the “ effete
monarchies of Europe,” especially
Great Britain, excellent food for on- i
joy meat.
REPUBLICAN TESTIMONY.
Here are some of the words used by
Republican Senators, last year, when
the Louisiana case was debated. Mr.
Carpenter said:
“If we leave the President with this re
sponsibility upon his shoulders, virtually
compel him to stand by that sham and
fraud (Kellogg) through the Summer and
through four years, we shall hear from it,
and I wish to know what reason and ex
cuse shall I render to the people of Wiscon
sin for such a course on the part of a Re
publican Congress in a great emergency
like this.”
In reply*to a question why Kellogg’s
government should not stand, Mr. Ed
munds said :
I say it should not stand, as the’eommit
tee have said it shall not stand, because it
exists at this moment, through a usurpa
tion of our own. I repeat, we should not
let it stand because we are the guilty party
that has given it all .'the life it has. As the
majority of the committee have reported,
and I think satisfactorily, we have put up
a government there which neither the re
tun s nor the constitution of that State,
nor the law of that State a’lowed to exer
cise its powers.
Mr. Stewart said :
Non action keeps a government in place
tnat did not have a majority of the votes
and was not elected by the people.
Mr. Sherman said:
It is alleged that the government set up
by Governor Kellogg, supported by the
decision of Judge Dubfll, and supported
also by the decision of the Supreme Court
of Louisiana, is a usurpatloa. Of this alle
gation there is substantial proof. The pa
pers before us show to a reasonable cer
tainty that the majority of the votes legal
ly returned were not in favor of the Kel
logg government, and that the Kellogg
government ie now a government of the
minority of the votes that were returned.
iVc cannot afford to set such an example.
It will be curious to watch these
Senators now, and see if Sheridan can
swallow them like “ birds on toast.”
Grant has, at all events, brought the
politicians to taw, and the dose he is
giving them, through Dr. Sheridan, ’s
such as will bring matters to a head,
one way or the other. The final result
cannot but be gratifying to the South <
and Democracy everywhere, provided
our people keep the peace.

When Life Eternal came to reign
Over a world of Death.
The Pagan at his midnight board
Let falHiis brimming cup of gold;
He felt the presence of his Lora
Before Hfs birth was told.
The temples trembled to their base,
The idols shuddered as in pain;
A priesthood in its power of place
Knelt to i f i gods in vain.
All nature felt a thrill divine
When burst that meteor on the night,
Which pointing to the Saviour’s shrine,
Proclaimed the new-born light—
Light to the shepherds! and the si ir

Lhffit to the Wise Men from afar
their gifts of gold—
Li adit to a realm of Sin and Grief—

The Light of life—a new belief
Rising o’er fallen creeds -

Thougn leading to a martyr’s throne—
A light to guide till Christ returns
In glory to His own.
There still it shines, while far abroad
The Christmas choir sings nuw, as then

Gen. Schenck on Poker.
It was our hope and purpose to lay
before our readers a complete copy of
Robert C. Schenck’s treatise on Poker,
a brief which is to bake rank with Des
chapeiles ou Whist, and Maj. Jaeniscli
or You der Laza on Chess. The bro
chure, however, is protected by a copy
right duly recorded with the Libarian
of Congress, and, as this copyright has
evidently been taken out not for pro
fit but to prevent the publication of the
book on tiiis side of the ocean, we must
content ourselves with making a few
excerpts from the more interesting
portions of it.
Gen. Schenck writes well, and he ha o
compressed much in small space in
this little book. It may be said of our
poker-playing Ambassador as was said
by Montesquieu, of Tacitus, that he
abridges all because he knows all. The
infinite variety of poker is ail summed
up in the convolutions of our Miu.ster’s
brain, and he shows much of that pe
culiarly diplomatic tact des convenances
so necessary to the Envoy in instruct
ing the British in the rudiments of this
noble game. Gen. Schenck’s experi
ence as a high tariff advocate have
taught him all about the omnipresent
enormity of British gold, and his de
sire to be avenged upon it is quite
natural. It is a legitimate part of his
mission to London.
The Envoy now, whom thirst of fame in
vites,
Burns t’ encounter Britain’s well fledged
k nights
At ooker, swiftly to decide their doom,
Ana swells his heart with conquests yet to
come!
Gen. Schenck knows quite well that
an ambassador is not only the agent of
the country which sends him, but also
represents the dignity of its sovereign.
In his case the sovereign people are to
bo represented, and it was a wise
thought of Mr. Schenck to try to re
flect our dignity in the character of our
national games. It was for this reason
that he has printed his breviary of
poker ; for this reason he last Summer
patronized the professional base ball
players who went over to show En
glish cricketers a thing or two; for
this reason it may be inferred he pa
tronized Stewart’s and Parks’s “little
game” on Lombard street.]
EXTRACTS : ORIGIN OF POKER.
Whist, as the name signifies, is a
mute game and was invented, it is so
claimed, by the peers of England, who
needed rest for their wearied tongues
after having talked all day and half the
night in Parliament. In the same way
poker was needed to stir up the ex
hausted fires of our American orators,
burnt out on the stump. No political
campaign or session of Congresses pos
sible, or endurable, without its poker
accompaniments.
“ Short ” whist is said to havo origi
nated from the game being cut in half
one night to enable Lord Peterborough
to recover some heavy losses, showing
the aristocratic beginning even of this
modification of the original game,
which used to “ walk its dull round ”
to “ cheat the drowsy moments.” My
countrymen do not like the savor of
royalty and aristocracy which hangs
around these olden games. They do
not like to respect the symbolisms of
power which they imply, nor to
Behold lour kings, in majesty revered,
With hoary whiskers and a forky beard,
And four fair queons, whose hands sustain
a flower—
The expressive emblem of their softer
power;
Four knaves in garb succinct, a trusty
band,
Caps on their heads, and halberds in their
hand;
And parti-colored troops, a shining train,
Draw forth to combat on the velvet plain.
So far do they carry their repulsion
that aftc’’ poker, their favorite games
are all-fours and euchre, in which ple
beians and knaves both capture and
outcount the co -t can’s.
Poker is in every sense a republican
gam —one in which birth and rank go
very little way, and self-assertion and
enterprise a very great way. Poker is
p‘q’ et cut down to ‘proportions which
enables the players to "scoop” their
adversaries with the happiest despatch.
It is the antipodes of a silent game, its
essence lying in the art of bluffing and
finessing. In poker, more than any
other game, a “ cool face is better than
a cold deck.” (We say a “ deck ” of
cards in America, because the game
used to be most often played on the
decks of Western steamboats in the
intervals between explosions.) The
motto of poker is carpe diem, or rather
carpe dimes, since the ordinary game
is “ ten cents ante.”
The author of this little manual does
not expect all who read it to become
immediately proficient in poker, for
the game is difficult, and to excel iu
playing it demands almost genius
Still, as my venerable friend, Gen. Dlx
would say, “ Est quiddam prodire tenus
si non datur idtra," and I do not con
ceal from myself nor my readers the
hope that I shall reap the reward of
a public benefactor in giving to the
youth of England anew game. Ido
not hope to convert the aged. They
are wedded to whist, and old people
cannot learn new games, the study of
which is like the study of languages,
they both employ the more prominent
faculties of the mind, memory, reflec
tion, &c. In infancy this occupation
tnds to the development of the men
tal powers and the prog-ess of reason;
bat in after life it interi jpts the growth
of ideas.” Of the youth of England,
however, I hope great things, and to
them “I dedicate—l consecrate” (in
the words of your laureate) this hand

book. It is a great benefit to a young
man to master a great game. A wise
diplomatist said: “ Yous ne savez pas
le whiste, jeune homme ? Quelle triste
vieillesse vous vous preparez!” But
whist itself is in its dotage. Already
good partners cannot be found, and
bad partners at whist are trials to the
temper which even Job could not have
endured for any great length of time.
A saint in heaven would grieve to see his
nand
Out up by one who will not understand.
In poker every man paddles hi3 own
canoe, and is responsible to himself
alone for his mistakes and losses
“ Tr °y owes to Homer what whist owes
to Hoyle,” but F oyle could not play
poker, and the poker-playing at Wash
ington and in the Southwest is as far
superior to the ordinary poker-playing
as my countryman Murphy’s chess
playing is to the play of a country per
son in Buckinghamshire * * *
CLASSIFICATION.
There are several sorts of poker, as,
for instance, plain poker, draw poker*
twenty-deck poker, and the variations
of tip ie are innumerable. I will say
however, that a man should not play
twenty-deck unless he has four eyes in
his head or a purse as deep as the
shaft of a Nevada silver-mine. The
real game, the game par excellence, is
draw-poker, whose deligntful uucer
tainty, after the antes and blinds are
already on the board, is the charm of
the game and the leading encourage
ment to bluff. * * * * *
OF THE ANTE AND THE BLIND.
Something to play for is of the es
sence of this game. The ante should
not vary ; it should comprise one fish
of established value, aud each player
should ante up each time, the dealer
putting up another fish for the privi
lege of the deal and the last call. In
the same way the blind always gives
additional life and force to the game. I
have always noticed that where par
ties subscribe largely to a stock ven
ture they have faith in it whether it is
worth anything or not, and that is the
principle of the ante and the blind. * *
OF BLUFFING.
If Hercuies and Lychas play at dice
Winch is the better man V The greater
throw
May turn by fortune from the weaker hand
So Is Alcidea beaten by his page.
Without the blind the beginning of
poker is dull; without the bluff the
ending of it is vapid. If these bits of
finesse were absent, the strongest card
would in all cases determine the for
tune of the players; all science and
skill would disappear from the game,
and the empire of brute force be esta
blished. But in draw poker nothing is
left to chance if the game be well play
ed. The art of the game is to conceal
from your own face every expression
that would indicate the value of your
own hand, and to read in your adver
sary’s faco every sign that will betray
to you the value of his hand. Asa gen
eral rule, with courage and a long
purse, a pair of “ trays ” is worth three
kings. * * *
OF THE FLUSH.
More money has been lost in drawing
to a flush than in the Franco German
ft’ar. It is estimated in my country—
where men are apt to reduce the most
recondite matters to their arithmetical
results—that over 500,000 negroes and
20,000,000 bales of cotton have been bet
and lost by holders of sequences of
four, with the chance of drawing a
“quint” and filling the flush. Whether
the player gets his flush filled or not ho
is sure to bet; hence comes much bluf
flng. But those who bluff on flushes
nearly always lose, for the conscious
ness of having been so near a good
thing and missed it unnerves and be
trays them. A Senator who has just
failed to get the nomination for Presi
dent is never good for anything after
wards. * * *
Let these few specimens suffice to
"sample” General Schenck’s work.
The brochure Is replete with good
sense. It contains many good anec
dotes of poker playinq, but nearly all
these are cram.be repitita to the Ameri
can reader. General Schenck still re
presents his countrymen at the Court
of St. James.
Orangeburg Destroyed.
Charleston, January 6.—A dispatch
to the News and Courier, dated Or
angeburg, S. C., January 5, says that a
destructive fire occurred in that town
that morning, by which the entire busi
ness portion of the place was destroy
ed. It broke out about 1 a. m., in a
kitchen attached to Cartmill’s store,
through the carelessness of the cook.
There was only one fire engine and a
hook and ladder company in the town,
but they could not stay the flames, as
all the buildings in the neighborhood
were built of wood and the fire spread
rapidly.
The aggregate loss cannot fall short
of $150,000, and may reach $200,000, on
which the insurance does not probably
amount to $15,000. The principal suf
ferers by the fire are : D. Louis, four
stores, $28.000; W T . F. Briggeman,
building $4,000, stock $12,000 ; Thomas
Cartmill, building $3,500, stock $15,000;

Kirk Robinson, unknown ; Dr. Mucken

Joseph Harley, SSOO. Of the above,
Kohn & Bro. were insured for SIO,OOO,
W. A. Meroney for $3,000, and F. H. W.
Briggeman for about $5,000. Messrs.
Cornelson, Rich and McNamara were
insured for small sums. Altogether
about twenty-two stores and numerous
outbuildings were laid in ashes, and
this afternoon the most thriving and
busiest portion of our town is a mass
of ruins. The loss falls with great
severity upon our merchants, who had
all laid in heavy supplies in anticipa
tion of a brisk business, and who were
prevented from insuring by the exces
sively high rates of insurance conse
quent upon the lack of water and the
insufficiency of fire apparatus. The
conflagration ceased about eight o’clock
this morning for want of additional ma
terial to feed upon. There is, of course,
great suffering, but the people of Oran
geburg are not dismayed, and the town
will speedily rise from her ashes,

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 And remedies for that
disease, and patients afflioted with it recon
ciled themselvos to doath 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, and
that it has been cured in a very great number
of cases—some of them apparentjy desperate
ones-'by Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup alone;
and in other casos by the same medicine, in
connection with Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills, one or both, according
io the requirements of the case.

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 ease hopeless, and abandoned
him to his fate. He was cured by the afore
