THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1875.
Query.—Did the “White League”
swindle 72,000 negroes out of their sav
ings in the Freedman’s Bank ?
Popular.—The sub-editorials of this
paper are very popular with the Co
lumbus Times.
i •
Banditti.—lf Sherdan wants to kill
genuine banditti, why does he not have
ja. Radical carpet-bagger robber, on
toast, every morning for breakfast ?
An!—Gen. Sherman, the Great Snub
bed, says Sheridan is a “ kind-hearted,
noble man ; pr udent and discreet.” Yes,
he is just such a one as Byron describ
ed Lambro—“the mildest-mannered
man that ever scuttled ship or cut a
throat.”
Congress.—Much of the trouble in
Congress comes from the fact that a
large majority of the members never
read the Constitution and have not a
primary knowledge of the history of
their country. Somebody ought to get
up a Congressional catechism class.
m B
Frauds.—The “works of art” left by
Charles Sumner have been pronounced
frauds. A man so badly taken in by ne
groes and pictures was hardly the kind
of person to illuminate the world.
Changes.—A Northern paper says
there are 75,000. persons out of em
ployment in Massachusetts, who do
not take any pride in Plymouth Rock
and would not care if it were broken
up into sinkers to drown cats with.
A “result of the war.”
•
Ugh.—That was a centre shot—a
sockdologer—when Gordon asked
Morton how the Democrats contrived
to carry Indiana, Ohio, New York, Mas
sachusetts and Pennsylvania? Any
white league” or “Ku-Klux” in that
change of base ?
Encouraging.—The New Orleans Price
Current says : “At the suggestion of
several Western produce merchants
and dealers, we would state that the
disturbance in our State government
and excitement in political circles here
during the past week, have not inter
rupted the course of trade sales; re
ceipts and shipments of merchandise
have gone on as usual, and orders and
produce for this point met with the
customary prompt attention and dis
patch.”
Grant.—Judge Lyons, of Richmond,
writing to Gov. Kemper on the Louis
iana outrage, says :
Nothing so atrocious has been said or
suggested, and nothing like it ever done,
since the massacre of the Huguenots and
the subjugation of “the fair land of Po
land ” and the slaughter of her children. I
have sustained the President, as you know,
in his early proceedings in Louisiana
sustaining the Kellogg government be
cause I believed the law authorized them,
and honestly believed he wished to do
right; and I will not believe he has author
ized or will sanction these proceedings, or
lend a willing ear to this howl of his
butcher dog for the blood of Southern men,
but if ho does, he ought to be immediately
impeached and expelled from office, and the
infamous Phil arrested and sent to look
after “Capt. Jack.”
There are a great many persons in
the South who charitably hoped that
Grant would he a good boy ; but the
man pans out badly, of late.
Indeed-!—Here is a choice morsel
from the inaugural message of Gov.
Tilden :
The adoption pf the fourteenth, fifteenth
and sixteenth amendments to the Federal
Constitution closed one great era in our
politics. It marked the end forever of the
system of human slavery, and of the strug
gles that grew out of that system. These
amendments have been conclusively adopt
ed, and they have been accepted in good
faith by all political organizations and the
people of ail sections. They close the
chapter; they are and must be final. All
parties hereafter must accept and stand
upon them, and henceforth our politics are
to turn upon questions of the present and
the future, not upon those of the settled
and final past.
What the deuce is the sixteenth
amendment? It may be wondered if
Gov. Tilden ever read the constitu
tion or knows anything critically of
Americm history.
Possibly.—To believe that there is any
political success possible for Grant here
after is to believe with Grant and Sheri
dan, and Edmunds and Conkling, and the
Washington Republican and the New York
Commercial Advertiser, that the American
people no longer care for their liberties
and that there is no longer public spirit or
faith or honor in the land.
[Ne e York World.
W e shall soon see whether or not the
birds of ill-omen are right or wrong.
Some people remember how the North
ern Democracy swore that Federal sol
diers would have to pass over their
dead bodies before they reached the
South, and yet the South was subjuga
ted, at last, by the war Democracy.
The South need not expect too much.
Hices.—Rev. Dr. Hicks, the Liberal
Republican candidate for Speaker of
the Florida House of Representatives,
hails from Dade county, which has
about forty voters, most of whom are
employed by Dr. Hicks..

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER,
Washington, D. G. 7th Jan., 1875.
I have just returned from Phila
delphia, whither business called me
last week. I had for my traveling com
panion to the “ city of brotherly love,”
Mr. S. Marcus, well known in Georgia
as one of Augusta’s merchant princes,
who has recently been spending some
days in Washington. In the matter of
locomotion Mr. M. can get along as
rapidly and as well as anybody if you
put him on wheels, but place him flat
footed on Pennsylvania Ice, and he
can't locomote worth a cent.
It was quite funny to see how, in
stead of walking on the ice-covered
pavements of Philadelphia, he seemed
possessed of an uncontrollable ten
dency to place himself in a sitting pos
ture upon them. So powerful was this
tendency of our excellent friend Marcus
that it became absolutely necessary to
his progress that he should abandon
the aforesaid pavements altogether and
take to the middle of tbe streets, which
were roughened by the trampling of
the horses’ feet. Your correspondent,
however, being the fortunate pos
sessor of a reliable pair of No.
9s, maintained his foot hold ad
mirably during the whole time he
was in the Quaker City, if we may ex
cept the trifling incident of laying down
once upon the ice and receiving a few
slight bruises—not worth mentioning—
which will have entirely disappeared in
a week or .ten days. Sunday, the 3d
instant, the Schuylkill was dotted over
with boys skatiDg on the ice, and the
sleighbells we:e jingling through Fair
mount Park. It is in this park that
the great Centennial Exposition is to
lake place in ’76, aud I would say just
here to all who wish to see the grand
est show of the century, go to Phila
delphia at anytime from April to Octo
ber in 187 G aud you vill see it. You
will see more of the world and its won
ders iu one day there than your fathers
and grandfathers saw in alii their lives.
The park itself is a thing of beauty that
will last forever, and when the magnifi
cence of the Centennial shall be added
to it a scene will be presented such as
the world has never yet witnessed.
During my hurried visit to the park I
was much interested in the Zoological
Gardens located in it. The collection of
bea ts and birds already there is very
choice and extensive, and as it is grow
ing every day you can form some idea
of what it will be in ’76. You pay
twenty-five cents now for admis
sion to these gardens, but during the
Centennial Exposition admission will
be free. The charge now is simply for
the purpose of defraying the expense
of keeping the animals and birds.
Among those now there is an ele
phant twice as large as the largest one
I had ever before seen. Indeed, I could
not help thinking, while gazing in won
derment at it, that it surely must be
the largest elephant in the world.
There are lions, and tigers, and leop
ards, and giraffes, and bears, and lla
mas, and deer, and antelopes, and buf
falos, aud wildcats, aud catamounts,
and wolves and a peifeet colony of
monkeys, and many other animals, the
names of which I cannot now remem
ber. Then there is every variety of
the feathered tribe, from the lordly
eagle to the croaking raven, aud the
smallest wee bit of a bird that nature,
it seems to me, could possibly make.
One of the most interesting features of
the gardens is a prairie-dog village,
such as are so frequently seen by the
travellers west of the Rocky Mountains.
Passing up Chestnut street from the
Delaware you come to famous old
building, Independence Hall, in
which are preserved many interesting
mementos of the times that tried
men’s souls. The old bell which rang
forth the glad tidings of the declara
tion still hangs over the chair of Han
cock, and the table on which the Decla
ration was signed.
PROGRESS OF PHILADELPHIA.
I was informed that more than five
thousand new buildings have been
erected in Philadelphia during the past
year. Four thousand three hundred
and nine dwellings have been put up,
and I learn that the greater portion
are at present occupied. Sixty-three
factories represent the manufacturing
industries of the city and schoolhouses
and colleges abound. Philadelphia is
a great shoe manufacturing city.
Through Mr. Marcus I was introduced
into the boot and shoe manufacturing
house of Sailer, Lewin & Cos., aud
shown through their establishment,
which is most extensive and complete,
and one which, from what I saw of it,
I can cheerfully commend to the trade.
Philadelphia is a beautiful city, but
hasn’t the grand, magnificent streets
and avenues that Washington has.
AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
I have called at the President’s
twice since I have been here. I found
him polite and pleasant each time, and
very plain and unostentatious iu his
speech and manners. The first time I
met him he had a cigar, or a part of
one, at which he took a few whiffs du
ring the interview. The second time I
called I found him seated at a table,
engaged on official papers, as I sup
posed, and without a cigar. Oti the
centre of the table was a beautiful
bouquet. He has one placed there
every morning. It remains there till
he quits his “ office ” room for the day,
which is generally about two o’clock,
and is then frequently sent by some of
the inmates of the‘White House to
some lady friend, who surprises the
President afterwards by thanking him
for “the charming bouquet he had
(not) sent her.” I suppose the Presi
dent is by the flowers on his table like
Mrs. Toodles by thenumberle3superflu
uous articles which so vexed poor Toody
—he just likes to have’em around. I
don’t suppose he can tell rosemary
from rose, or a japonica from a holly
hock. After his office hours he drives
out—at the rate of ten or fifteen miles
an hour after passing the city limits,
and after the drive walks for an hour
aud a half. He and his wife are regu
lar attendants at the Methodist
Church, and his fondness for walking
and smoking is such that, frequently,
instead of riding home from church,
he walks back, puffiug his Havana on
the way, leaving Mrs. Grant to go back
in the carriage alone, or with any other
member of the family who may happen
to be with her. Mrs. Grant is an ex
cellent wife and mother, and a woman
of most pleasant manners. On my last
visit to the White House I passed a
pleasant half hour in the company of
herself and her two eldest sens, Col.
Fred Grant and Mr. Ulysses Grant,
aud her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Col.
Grant, whom I mentioned in a former
letter as having been Miss Ida Honore,
of Chicago. Tiie sweet face and win
ning manners of this lady had pleased
me very much before she increased the
favorable regard I had for her by the
very kind and complimentary terms in
which she spoke of the young ladies
from Augusta with whom she was at
AUGUSTA, GA.. TUESDAY MORNING. JANUARY 12, 1875.
school at Georgetown, D. C. She still
remembers and speaks with delight of
the. wealth of bright tresses worn by
Miss M’L , for which she would
have gladly exchanged her own raven
locks.
MATTERS POLITICAL.
The Christmas holidays being over,
members of Congress have reas
sembled and re-entered upon what will,
to all appearances, be a turbulent ses
sion. In the House, as you have seen,
another effort has been made to get at
the civil rights bill, and action again
postponed. The news from Louisiana
is of the most exciting and ominous
character, aud has already provoked
heated and bitter debate in the Senate,
which sprang up on the resolution of
Senator Thurman calling on the Presi
dent for information concerning the
action of the military in New Orleans.
The telegraph has, no doubt, informed
you of the passage between Senators
Edmunds of Vermont aud Gordon of
Georgia. Our gallant and noble Sena
tor honored himself and the people he
represents in his impassioned yet emi
nently well-timed, prudent and truth
ful vindication of the people of the
South from the calumnies heaped upon
them. I regret that I was not in the
Senate Chamber when our Senator
stood up so nobly and well in defense
of the “ land wo love,” so that I might
have given you a description of the
scene. But however admirable, manly,
truthful and patriotic the efforts and
appeals of Geu. Gordon in the Senate
or Stephens in the House or in his
room, or of any other of our represen
tatives ia behalf of justice aud consti
tutional liberty, they will avail noth
ing against the gospel of hatred preach
ed and practiced by the present Radi
cal Congress. The only consolation
for the South and the whole Republic
in this dark hour is derived from the
hope that the last military out
rage and usurpation in poor torn,
manacled, quivering, bleeding, pa
tieut-in-long-suffering Louisiana, and
the fantastic tricks of the insane rough
rider, Sheridan, may serve to awaken a
sufficient number of liberty-loving
American people to such a sense of the
imminent peril of the Republic as will
cause them, at the earliest possible mo
ment, to hurl forever from place and
power the men who countenance and
instigate the cold-blooded murderers
of a sovereign State. Mr. Hamilton,
of Maryland, made a speech in the
Senate to-day condemning the action
of the military in Louisiana, and was
vociferously applauded from the gal
laries. To-merrow Senator Bayard, of
Delaware, will have the floor. Logan
is impatiently wait’ng for an opportu
nity to vent his spleen and hatred
against the South, aud will find ready
coadjutors in Morton, Edmunds, Conk
ling aud others. Morton seems to de
rive fresh life l'rom fresh opportunities
to persecute the South.
Grant is evidently as fixed as fate in
his determination to adhere to the
course he told Congress he would pur
sue in the event of no action taken by
them upon the subject. I can," there
fore, see no hope for Louisiana until
we have a Congress which will act
promptly and decisively in the matter.
AUGUSTA MATTERS.
I am glad to be able to announce to
your readers that Mr. Stephens has
succeeded iu having Augusta re-estab
lished as a poet of delivery. A sur
veyor of customs there will be immedi
ately appointed, and the office will be
put in operation as soon as the ap
pointment is confirmed by the Senate.
This will be of very great advantage
and accommodation to the importing
merchants of Augusta, as all men in
that line of business will readily per
ceive. The amount of duties paid in
Augusta, in coin, during the last year,
from facts exhibited by Mr. Stephens,
was upwards of SIIO,OOO, and with this
office in operation the increased impor
tations will increase the amount to not
less than $150,000 the next fiscal year.
Mr. Stephens thinks it not advisable to
bring the matter ef the erection of a
Custom House there before the Con
gress at the present short session. Mr.
Stephens has been in the House each
day since the re-opening of the session.
He dined out Christmas Day, aud made
some calls on New Year’s Day. His room,
when he is in it, is very rarely without
company, men of each political party
constantly calling on him, and a great
many ladies also. His table is piled up
all the time with letters from all parts
of the country, which he answers
promptly, with his own hand or
through his Secretary, and finds time
to contribute an article occasionally to
the great Universal Illustrated Cyclo
pedia which A. J. Johnson & Son, of
New York, are publishing, and of which
he is one of the editors. He plays a
rubber or two of whist every day, in
which he usually comes off victorious.
H thinks the political situation very
grave indeed, but is still hopeful of
the eventual triumph of constitutional
liberty if the Democratic party will be
guided by wisdom, justice and modera
tion, and the people of the South, es
pecially, will be prudent and patient,
aud rely upon the ballot and the peace
ful instrumentalities of the law to
remedy all their grievances.

>. .enck’s Pulmonic Syrup, [Sea Weed Tonic,
and Mandrake Pills.
THESE DESERVEDLY CELEBRATED
and popular medicines have effected a revo
ion in the healing art, and proved the fal
> cy of several maxims which have for many
ears obstructed the progress of medical
science. The false supposition that “Con*
sumption is incurable” deterred physicians
from attempting to find remedies for that
disease, and 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, 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 cases by the same medicine, in
connection with Sehenek’s Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills, one or both, according
io the requirements of the case.
Dr. Selienck himself, who enjoyed uainter*
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
nouneed. his ease hopeless, and abandoned
him to his fate. He was cured by the afore*
said medicines, and, since his recovery, man--’
thousands similarly affected have used Dr.
Schenck's preparations with the same re
markable success.
Full directions accompany each,- making it
notabsolutely necessary to personally see Dr.
bchenck, unless patients wish their lungs ex
amined, and for this purpose he is profes
sionally at his principal office, corner of
sixth and Areh streets, Philadelphia, every
Monday, where all letters for advice mustbe

THE EVIDENCE presented In the statements of the rcspectablo and intelligent plant

TED CHEMICAL FERTILIZER may claim to bo equal, if not superior to any in the

and a combination of Uhemicais, it is devoid of the enormous amount of inert matter
which all Phosph ite Rock preparations must contain; and that it presents the best
guarantee of a largo profitable return, as testified to by all who have used it. We refer
to our Pamphlets for this evidence, as it is too voluminous for our advertisement. The
preparation is varied in composition to meet the condition of the two great classes of
our soils:
Our C. FERTILIZER adapted to Clay Soils.
Our 0. FERTILIZER adapted to Sandy Soils.
