THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1875.
Episode in the Story of a Muff.
BY FREDERIC LOCKER.
She’s jealous! Am I sorry ? No!
I like to see my Mabel so,
(Jarir 1 a rnia.
Poor Puss! That now and then she
draws
Conclusions, not without a cause,
Is my idea.
We love; and I’m prepared to prove
That jealousy is kin to love
In constant women.
My jealous Pussy cut up rough
The day before 1 bought her mull
With sable trimming.
These tearful darlings think to quell us
By being so divinely jealous;
But I know better;
Hillo! Who’s that ? A damsel come;
I follow; no, I can’t, for some
One else has met her.
What fun! He looks a lad of grace!
She holds her muff to hide her face!
They kiss—the sly Puss!
Hillo! Her muff—it’s trimmed with ga
ble!
It’s like the muff I gave to Mabel!
Good Lord, she’s my puss!
Convention of Ex-Confederate Soldiers
in the State of Georgia.
A convention of ex-Confederato sol
diers of the State of Georgia is called
to meet in Atlanta on the 20th of Janu
ary, to form an association for mutual
benefit. The call was issued by a num
ber of prominent ex-Confederate sol
diers, and signed by Col. H. D. Capers
as secretary. All soldiers of the Con
federacy, from whatever State, now re
siding in Georgia, are invited to par
ticipate.
Other counties in the State are mov
ing in the matter, the Houston Guards,
of the 11th Georgia, at Perry, Ga., be
ing the last company that has ap
pointed delegates.
It is time that Augusta and Rich
mond county were taxing some action
looking to a representation in the con
vention. The meeting will take place
on Wednesday of next week. We sug
gest that a meeting of the ex-Confed
erate soldiers of this county be held
one night this week to take action re
garding the matter. If the movement
is inaugurated at once and discussed,
suitable delegates could be proposed
and appointed by Saturday night to
represent Richmond county. There is
no limit, we believe, to the number of
delegates, all soldiers who so desire be
ing invited to attend.
This convention is not called for the
purpose of forming a military organi
zation or a political party, but is en
tirely in the interest of peace. Re
unions of various regiments have late
ly been held—at which no effort was
made to organize a military body—but
they were altogether called for the
purpose of renewing the memories and
friendships of the war, and to provide
ways and means for perpetuating the
glorious deeds of the Southern army in
aid of the “ Lost Cause.” It is now in
order that a central organization
should be formed that will in the end
prove a valuable adjunct to the South
ern Historical Society in collecting in
formation for a full history of the
great straggle between the States for
Constitutional Liberty on the one side,
and Centralism on the other.
In Mississippi recently the order of
the Blue and Grey was formed—the
membership consisting of ex-Federal
and ex-Confederate soldiers. This was
the first organized effort of members
of the two armies to cement a lasting
peace between the sections lately at
war with each other, and now may we
hope that the most beneficial results in
the interest of peace will flow from the
movement inaugurated for an ex-Con
federate association in Georgia.
By all means let Augusta and Rich
mond county be represented.
Declining Honors of a Municipal
Character.
We clip the following from the Savan
nah Advertiser, which will no doubt be
read with the greatest interest at this
particular time :
“An envelope with a slip enclosed
containing the following announcement
was picked up near the Post Office yes
terday. The writer is evidently one of
our numerous local politicians, whose
valuable services had been requested
for municipal honors. He explains
his position as follows :
“ As I frequently here my name pro
miskuously mentioned in konnekshun
with the nex mayoralty, I herebi de
cline to run for the offis, thanking my
numerous konstituensy for their efforts
to bring me again prominentle pefor
the people. I emphatikally assert that
my arduous duties in connexshion with
my neverceasing labors for the m’eliara
tion of my colored brethren, prevents
me at the present time, to enter the
lists as a kandidate, but I will inform
my numerous friends, both male and
female, that any lcontribushuns in the
shape of money, bibles, provisions, etc.,
sent to my kare will be forwarded to
Timbuctoo, the headkwaters of the
society in afrika.”
A melting sermon being preached in
a country church, all fell a weeping
but one man, who, when asked why he
did not weep with the rest, said: “Oh,
I belong to anotherparish.”

m Sails (Eanstihitionalist.
[Columbus Times.
Hon. A. H.' Stephens.
On account of the many rumors
afloat concerning this distinguished
statesman, we feel called upon, as his
friend and admirer, to set him right
before the people, whom he loves even
with a blind idolatry—the Southern
men and women. A Washington cor
respondent of some insignificant Radi
cal sheet in Connecticut has represent
ed him as counselling and encouraging
Gen. Grant in the policy he has pur
sued towards Louisiana. We knew
when we read this vile slander that it
was an attempt upon the part of the
Radicals to give some degree of re
spectability to the conduct of the Chief
Magistracy of the Government by
coupling the name of Alexander H. Ste
phens with this outrageous proceed
ing. While it is true that Mr. Stephens
admires Gen. Grant as a man, he at
tributes all the trouble that has be
fallen the South to the Radical Con
gress which passed laws for Grant to
carry out. Asa sworn officer of the
Government, Grant has carried out
these laws, and our complaint is not as
much against Grant as the men who
made the law for him to carry out.
In this Louisiana question, however,
Grant is not required to carry out any
law; nor has any law been passed in
reference to such a state of affairs as
now exists in Louisiana. We now con
demn and arraign Grant before the
American people as a usurper and an
oppressor.
From all we can learn or hear of
Mr. Stephens, he simply endorsed
Grant heretofore as a man who carried
out the laws he was sworn to support,
and did not, in any way, shape or form,
endorse the Radical party, or Grant as
an exponent of that party. He only
accorded to Grant more brains than
we of the South usually credited him
with. Now that Mr. Stephens is satis
fied he has brains, he must, as a con
stitutional lawyer, and an advocate of
his plundered and maligned people, re
gard Grant as not only having brains,
but as an infamous instrument in the
hands of his party. That Mr. Ste
phens does this we have not
a doubt, for “ so-called ” infatuation of
Grant, only extended to him before
this crowning infamy. We always dif
fered with Mr. Stephens in his estima
tion of Grant, but we thought he had a
right to determine and express his ap
probation of a man, be he Radical or
Democrat. In no instance has Mr.
Stephens upheld the Radical party or
Grant as carrying out the edicts of the
party—but his applause has extended
to Grant in person. That he will hearti
ly disapprove and utterly condemn the
policy of Grant in this Louisiana ques
tion, there can be no question. Steph
ens could not, nor would not so far for
get himself and his people as to sanc
tion, aid or abet such policy towards
us. Then, until he declares himself
oner way or the other, we think it un
fair in the press and the people to pre
judge him. Wait until he speaks, be
fore you put any reliance in the idle
gossip of newspaper reporters, who will
give, as a rule, any report that is sen
sational, or that tends to lend respec
tability to their party.
An Excitement in the Gold Boom—A
Bogus Telegram—lndignant Brokers.
New York, January 9.—lntense ex
citement was created in the gold room
this afternoon by the discovery that a
bogus dispatch had been circulated,
and that on the strength of it invest
ments to the extent of one-fourth of a
million had been made in gold. Be
tween one and two o’clock in the after
noon a local quotation company sent
out in their tape what purported to be
a cable dispatch, dated from London,
giving the state of the money market
there to be: “ Money in open market,
4 3-6d.; withdrawn from the Bank of
England, £268,000.” About a quarter
of an hour afterward, a
GENUINE DISPATCH FROM LONDON
gave the true state of affairs, announc
ing money at 4%d., that instead of
£268,000 having been withdrawn from
the Bank of England, £30,000 had been
deposited. A committee was appointed
to investigate the matter, and reported
a recommendation that the instruments
of the company be taken out of the
Exchange. They also recommend that
the Executive Committee offer a re
ward of SSOO for the conviction of the
person who originated the report.
“Bill” King.—William S. King, for
merly Postmaster of the House of Re
presentatives, and now Congressman
elect from Minnesota, who, it has been
intimated, received a large share of the
$750,000 which it is alleged was paid to
carry the Pacific Mail subsidy through
Congress, is a son of the late Rev.
Lyndon King, formerly a leading Meth
odist minister, who subsequeutly em
braced Universalism, and resided and
died in the village or Fulton, Oswego
county, about fifteen years ago. “Bill”
King was always regarded as a smart
fellow. He was a preacher himself at
one time, but found the business too
slow for a man of his enterprise. He
has for years been known as one of the
leading lobbyists at Washington, and
from this or some other profitable busi
ness he has amassed a fine fortune. He
sports one of the finest stock farms in
the West, his fancy cattle being noted
the country over.— Auburn [N. Y.)News.
The Sage’s Reproof.— Alhakem, the
sage, whom all people honored for his
great wisdom and his many virtues,
eat in the market place giving instruc
tion. A ycfuth named Seyd, who had
recently inherited vast wealth, passed
that way, and shared with the old
archer the attention of the multitude.
“See,” cried Seyd, “how my good
fortune has lifted me up in a day to
claim a public attention which Alha
kem has been long years in gaining.”
And he smiled proudly as he spoke.
Alhakem had heard his words, and
motioned for him to draw near.
“My son,” said the sage, “let me
speak unto thee a fable. Once upon a
time a gourd wound itself around a
lofty palm, and in a few weeks climbed
to its very top.
“ ‘ How old mayest thou be ?’ in
quired the gourd.
“‘A hundred years,’ answered the
palm.
“ ‘ A hundred years !’ cried the gourd,
in derision. * Only look—l have grown
as tall a3 thou art in fewer days than
thou countest years.’
“ * I know that very well,’ the palm
made answer. ‘Every summer of my
life a gourd has climbed up around me
as proud as thou art, and as short
lived as thou wilt be !’ ”
Seyd heard, and then went away
with head lowered.
Did I understand you to say that
I was lousy, sir ? ” “ Oh, no ; I only
told my friend when it rained lice in
Egypt I thought you must have been
walking there without a hat or an um
brella—that’s all! ”

A QUEER “AD.”
How a Minnesota Merchant Asks His
Debtors to Pay Up .
NOTICE:
My Dear Sir :— I want to ask you a
plain question, in all kindness and sin
cerily, and I would like to have you
answer it honestly and candidly : not
in two or three years, or months, but
now ! This week ! Supposing you were
as poor as Job’s turkey, and had in
vested two or three thousand dollars
in an enterprise which you designed to
make an exclusively cash business;
supposing, as a matter of accommoda
tion and good nature, you had trusted
it out all over the country, from H—l
to Jericho ; supposing you had kept
adding your means, and still “ putting
it on the books for a few days,” until
your funds were played out, like old
Foot’s prayer-meeting ; supposing you
had claims coming against you in
the hands of business-men who had
accommodated you in good faith, and
needed their money; supposing you
had some pride in you, aud meant to
be square-toed and punctual, and hat
ed to see a man whom you owed, when
you didn’t have the legal-tender in
your trowsers to pay his just and law
ful demands, worse than you would to
see an Injun or the Devil; and suppos
ing those whom you had accommodat
ed felt perfectly easy and contented;
“shied the track” when you went to
see them, and told the wife of their
bosom to answer “Not at home,”or came
into town and left without paying even
a part; supposing they held your
money, and waited patiently for wheat
to come up to ninety cents or a dollar,
or pork to bring five or six dollars a
hundred—what would you do ? Would
you let your debts go, “ and smile, and
smile, and be a villain or would you
sue every mother’s’ son of them that
didn’t pay you if it were the last busi
ness you transacted in town ?
If you were an honest man you’d do
the latter, and that’s just what I’ll be
compelled to do, and shall do, if the
Lord is God or there is a King in
Israel!
I don’t want money to look at (I can
earn enough for that); I don’t want
any to salt down (I never could make
it keep); but out of several thousands
trusted out, I humbly want a few hun
dreds, and I’ll be d — d if I won’t have
it, or an execution returned nulla bona.
I have, in addition to erecting an ex
pensive store in Fountain, been seduced
into investing over a thousand dollars
in anew hall, which is an ornament as
well as convenience to the town at
large. As you know, I was promised
four hundred dollars, cash, to assist
me. Well, out of this little four hun
dred 11 ave received just twenty-six. I
don’t expect any more, and I don’t
want it! The hall is done ! It is mine,
and to let, when the school-house can
not be had. Bat I want what is owed
to me. It is a small amount to you ; it
means thousands of dollars to me. I
shall be home in a few days to square
up. Let “ Doc.” have the money now,
before I go. There is not one of you,
man or woman, from Christinia to Dub
lin, that ho would not stick his head in
the fire to serve, whether he ever ex
pected anything for it or not. Get his
receipt before I go home, and his soul
will rejoice. I love you myself, as a
mother loveth her first born; but I
love to pay my debts better than I love
any man, woman or child, on the face
of God Almighty’s green earth ; and,
by the Great Eternal and Continental
Congress, I propose to do it, if I have
to make costs for every man in Fill
more county. Now let’s have the
spondulicks, and see how sweet and
pretty I can smile upon you.
Yours, earnestly, C. S. Powers,
Senior partner in the firm of C. S. Pow
ers & Sons.

COTTON.
Friday, January B—P M.
We compile the following regarding the
cotton market from the daily reports of the
Augusta Exchange:
The weather during the week has been
very inclement—cold and rainy each day—
which, in a manner, caused a curtailment
of business. There has been a considera
ble falling off in the receipts and sales com
pared with the last and previous weeks,
while prices were advanced from % to %
on good grades. The receipts at the ports
have also fallen off greatly, which had the
effect of giving a better tone to the mar
ket.
Saturday our market was quiet with
rather lo wer prices than prevailed at tiie
close of last week. Good Ordinary, 12;
Low Middling, 13%, and Middling 13%.
Monday it was steady with a good demand,
light offerings and better prices; Good Or
dinary, 12%; low middling, 13%@13%; Mid

advance of %@% quoted; Middling, 14
Wednesday it was again firmer with still
better prices; Low Middling, 13%@13%,
and Middling, 14@14%. Thursday it was
active with continued 1 irmness and another
advance; Low Middling, 13%, and Mid

was quiet with buyers and sellers apart
regarding prices. At the close, quotations
were: Good Ordinary, 12%: Low Middling,

Augusta, Friday, January 8,1875.
As usual just after Christmas, and also
owing to very bad weather, business du
ring the week has been extremely dull.—
Many planters and others at any distance
from the city were prevented from coming
to market by the weather. While clouds
still overspread the sky, we yet hope that
fair weather will prevail in a day or two,
and that next week trade will become again
active.
But slight changes have occurred in any
leading articles we quote. The trade in
Fertilizers is now about opening, but no
important sales have yet made made.

Tlx© Christian Age,
a weekly Journal of 16 pages, beautifully
printed, unsectional, 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 enuutry just
such a metropolitan paper as they nt'ed.
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 inasserting 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
JStraugers” will have a memorial of the
service which tney attended, or the repro
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 tins is
done, there is no business you can engage
in, with anything like the same capital, and
make as much money, in these timet , or
make it as easily. We give as much terri
tory as an agent can handle to advantage,
and give 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!
Remittances 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, New York.
Send ten cents for specimen number.
