God Help the Poor.
BY RICHARD OULAHAN.
The twelve days of Christmas are over,
The holly and ivy decayed,
And all have had time to recover
Prom “ Uappy New Year ” lemonade;
Cross papa3 look down in their purses,
Kind mamas make parlors all right,
The children sleep soundiy as nurses—
Good-night to thee, Christmas, good
night.
We never could moralize coolly.
And preaching is not in our line,
But Charity points out as truly
The path, as your zealous divine;
Her clients upbraid us too often
When mutely going down from our door,
Then, oh, let this hard Winter soften
Our hearts to the wants of the poor.
To crown overy holiday pleasure,
To bridge over Winter’s dark gulf —
To feel that you helped, in a measure,
To drive away hunger’s dread wolf;
To know that you’re richer by giving
Your mite, from the little in store,
And sanctify home by reliving
The starving, the outcast, the poor.
On woe-hardened souls don’t be rasping
The cold-steel of creed, clime or hue -
An angel, in rags, may be gasping,
A s Protestant, Papist or .Jew;
But give, if at all, as a maiden
Gives kisses—unselfishly pure—
And angels, by Pity’s hand laden,
Will leave Mercy’s mark on your door.
[Correspondence of the Constitutionalist.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Matters at the State Capital—Bcse-
Colored View of Reform in Strange
Quarters.
Columbia, S. C., January 14.
Mr. Editor : The Legislature met on
day before yesterday the 12th, at once
commenced making preparations for a
long and corrupt session. Of course I
allude to the Radical side of the house,
who returned to Columbia without a
dollar in their pockets —“ seeking whom
they might devour.” The Union Herald,
which has in the past been affecting to
advocate reform, must have “seen
light,” as Moses has it, for in Tuesday’s
paper a double leaded leader appeared
advocating the redemption of the ini
quitous Blue Ridge scrip, and the pay
ment of the multitudinous pay
certificates which Moses and his allies
so ruthlessly issued in defiance of all
law and decency. Indeed, since the
re-assembling of the Legislature, it
has been easily discernible that a de
termination existed amongst the ultra
Radicals to brow-beat and vilify Gov
ernor Chamberlain, who thus far has
exhibited qualities of head and heart,
which would have been creditable to
Jefferson and Washington. Never did
a statesman have the venal crew
around him that our new Governor
has, and never before has a Governor
snubbed and reprimanded a corrupt
body of men as has Chamberlain.
The Conservatives and Independent
Republicans are working together
very harmoniously, and aided by
the indomitable courage and abil
ity of Dr. John A. Barker, of Edge
field, and W. A. Hayne, of Marion,
have thus far succeeded in defeating
every corrupt move which the Corrup
tionists have introduced.
Barker comes to the House from
Edgefield as a Republican, and the
people tiffere have doubtless regarded
him as their bitterest enemy, but if
they could have seen him, as I did,
breasting the storm and striving for
the repeal of an infamous three-mill
levy of his county, bandying words
with quibbling lawyers, and finally
carrying his point—(which, unfortu
nately, was afterwards reconsidered)—
they would have meted out to him that
universal praise which Conservatives in
this city have unhesitatingly accorded
him. On yesterday a well known Rad
ical attempted to pass a bill to its sec
ond reading forbidding planters to pay
their laborers with “ due bills ” on their
stores, but Barker contended that the
moment a laborer accepted such au
“order” he made a contract with the
planter which could not be annulled
without violating the constitution,
which forbids the passage of laws im
pairing the obligations of contracts.
Barker being a physican, and knowing
nothing about “ the law,” received the
encomiums of every one for his inge
nuity in discomfiting the old set of
harpies who have not yet been thor
oughly exterminated.
Gov. Chamberlain has become a great
favorite with our best people, and aid
ed by the financial abilities of Treasu
rer Cardoza, will soon restore South
Carolina to her oiiginal prosperity and
greatness. It is refreshing to " hear
Radical “ hangers-on ” denouncing the
new order of things, and wishing that
Grant and Sheridan were in h—ll.
Hoge has determined to imitate the
old sailors who never let go one rope
until they have hold of another, and
has wisely determined to waive his
right to a seat in the next United States
Congress. This leaves the field entirely
open to General McGowan, who, thank
God, will be our next Congressman.
They think here that a “ seedy Radi
cal” is the contributor for your paper
in disguise, but if any responsible party
desires to know who your correspon
dent really is, you are at perfect liberty
to give my address.

THE LOUISIANA CASE.
Symptoms of Hedging.
[Washington Cor, N. Y. Herald.
grant’s star ascending.
In fact, the war fever is being stirred
up, and there are elements which turn
up unexpectedly to the President’s
hands, so that his old good fortune, in
which he trusts so confidently, does
not appear to have deserted him. For
instance, nobody supposed that Judge
Hoar and George F. Hoar would ap
pear as the supporters of what is call
ed the President’s “ vigorous policy.”
ENCOURAGEMENT FROM OLD-FOGYISM.
The letters sent to General Sheridan
and the President by leading men of
the old anti-slavery element of New
England give great joy at the White
House and help to increase the war
whoop. The demagogues,too, who have
been clamoring for work for the un
employed prick up their ears and be
gin to hope that volunteers may be
wanted, and it is already said that, with
the army in the South doubled or
quadrupled to maintain law and order
and a threat of war with Spain to make
necessary the immediate and hasty
completion of our seacoast defences
and the building of new ships of war,
the administration might without diffi
culty get up anew era of prosperity,
re-establish the party and make the
President popular with the now idle
mechanics and laborers. These are only
rumors, of course, but it would be a
mistake to think them idle rumors or
seusations. The President and the
men behind him are determined to suc
ceed. Gen. Grant intends to pull the
party through in 1876, as he says he
did in 1872, and there are men around
him reckless enough and greedy enough
to welcome anew war.
WAR APPROPRIATIONS IN ADVANCE OF THE
FUTURE.
It is a significant circumstance that
a proposition to make appropriations
this year for the pay and subsistence
of the army for two years ahead finds
favor and is quietly urged among Sena
tors. Such a suggestion came some
time ago from a few Southern men,
and was supposed to have fallen
through as absurd, but it is now urged
from other and far more influential
quarters, and may presently turn up
as something which it will be disloyalty
to oppose.
APOLOGY FOR THE STRETCH OF PRESIDENTIAL
POWER.
It is urged that the South is a des
perate condition ; that it is the first
duty of the Federal Government to
maintain order ; that this duty, though
Dot conferred at all on the* Federal
power in the constitution, except as an
auxiliary, was put upon it by the
amendments ; that the Federal Execu
tive must be the judge of the necessi
ties of the case ; that “We do not know
all” about the Southern horrors ; that
recent events arise out of the necessi
ties of the case, and that it is not easy
to see what else the President can do.
The people who talk thus are not all
Southern carpet-baggers.
PARTY EXPEDIENCY.
Some of them are influential men
here, and they do not hesitate to say
that it would be better to re-establish
provisional governments in Louisiana,
Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi and
Florida, and hold them down with the
bayonet, than to permit the negroes to
be abused. Those, therefore, who im
agine that the first shock given to pub
lic feeling, even here, by the occur
rences in New Orleans, is going to last,
or that “ the party,” which means the
adherents of the President, are as dis
mayed and devoid of expedients as
they were a week ago, are mistaken.
The game is not over, and those who
play it, hope that, by talking loud
enough of the Southern disease, the
public will forget all about the medi
cine which the President wants to give
the sick man, or, indeed, allow him to
be dosed in any way it may please the
men in power.
[N. Y. Times.
Fixing Responsibility.
We may therefore assume it to be a
fact, placed beyond all possibility of
contradiction or disproof, that the in
terference of the military was first in
voked by the Democrats, and that the
object of their invoking it was to keep
down the Republican members until
they had organized the House in their
own way, and voted in the five claim
ants whose names had not been sent in
by the Returning Board. YVhen Demo
crats declaim against “ shoulder-strap
despotism,” and so forth, they ought
at least to remember that it was the
representatives of their own party in
the State of Louisiana who first invited
the interference of that “ despotism.”
New York World.
“The Times” on the Louisiana Meet-
Meeting.
The hundreds of well known and re
spectable Republican voters who on
Monday evening crowded the great
hall of the Cooper Institute and hung
with earnest and masculine attention
upon the sound words of such men as
Mr. Bryant, Mr. Evarts, Mr. Curtis and
Mr. Thayer must have been somewhat
astonished yesterday morning to learn
from the Times that they had gone to
the Louisiana meeting in “ squads of
250,” under orders from “John Kelly
and August Belmont.” Such, how
ever, no doubt was the fact.—
At au early hour on Monday
afternoon that gray-headed Democratic
reprobate, Mr. Peter Cooper, might
have been seen swaggering in a red
flannel shirt ffom bar-room to bar
room of the lovi’er wards, lavishing up
on the “ roughs ” who frequent those
resorts whole handfulls of “ green
backs,” supplied to him for the pur
pose by John Kelly as the proceeds of
bills drawn ad hoc upon the Roths
childs by August Belmont. And who
that attended the meeting will ever
forget the effect produced wheu that
notorious bruiser, William E. Dodge,
came marching in upon tho platform
with his boots oyer his pantaloons and
a huge cutty pipe in his mouth at the
head of a delegation of “banditti”
from Madison avenue, shouting “Death
to Grant, Free Trade and Sailors’
Rights ” as vociferously
“As all the finds from Heaven that fell
Had pealed the banner-cry of Hell!”
When the Administration journals
lay before the people of New York
such pictures of a scene which occurr
ed within half a mile of their Republi
can offices, and concerning which two
decent men out of every three who
read the papers on Monday mojning
had direct personal knowledge of tho
truth, who can wonder at the compla
cent stolidity which Grant and his sub
ordinate keep on publishing ream after
ream of rantipole falsehoods about the
White Leagues and the Ku-Klux of the
South.

The effect of the bad weather during the
week has been quite marked in the cotton
market, causing a rather limited business..
Receipts were not largo either at this point
or at the ports, being much less than at the
same period last year., and in consequence
there has been more firmness, witn the
prices of last week fully sustained. Now
that we again have fair weather it may be
that there will be an increase of receipts.
We compilo tho following regarding the
market from the daily reports of the Au
gusta Exchange:
Saturday the market was irregular,
though there was a fair demand with, sales
on the basis of 12% for good ordinary, 13%
@13% for low middling, and 14@14% for
middling. Monday it was quiet with de
mand moderate: Low middling, 13%; and
middling, 14@14%. luesday it was firmer,
but unchanged in price. Wednesday it re
mained steady, and closed with middling,
14%@14%. Thursday it was firm with light
receipts and fair sales, on the basis of 13%
for low middling and 14% for middling. To
day ( Friday) it was quiet but firm, with no
change in prices. The closing quotations
were: Good ordinary, 12%; low middling,
13%; and middling, 14%.

Augusta, Friday, January 15,1875.
Business has continued quiet during the
week, owing to the continuation olf bad
weather, but it has now cleared off, and
there is a fair prospect for clear skies, at
least for a few days. We may look there
fore for a good trade the coming week, as
many planters and others will be coming
forward to obtain their Spring supplies.
The trade in fertilizers, seeds, etc., for the
Spring planting, has not yet fairly opened,
but our merchants, in each line, have full
and varied stocks, sufficient to meet the ex
pected demand.
