THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1875^
THE FINANCE BILL.
The common opinion seems to be
t hat, in spite of some follies, notably
1 he first section regarding silver change,
the new Finance Bill is not without
merit. The New Orleans Price-Current
.specifies some of the gratifying fea
tures. It approves, for instance, of the
second section, which repeals the
< !large of one-fifth of one per cent, for
converting standard gold bullion into
coin, as calculated to stimulate the
trade in the precious metals, and,
when the New Orleans mint resumes
'iterations, must attract to that port a
considerable volume of bullion from
Mexico and South America, -which is
now shipped to trans-Atlantic mar
kets. The same high authority thinks
tiie inflationists should be satisfied
with the third section, as it repeals all
limitations from the national banks as
to their issue of circulating notes,
which, however, are to be delivered to
them under the existing provisions.
Thus, “ if a national bank can acquire
Government bonds to the extent of
1,000,000, it can, on their being de
posited in the Treasury, obtain $900,-
000 in circulating notes, which would
to that extent increase the volume of
the currency ; but, as it also provided
that the Treasurer shall, at the same
t ime, retire legal-tender notes to the
extent of 80 per cent, of such increase,
the redemption of the latter would
amount to $720,000, leaving a clear
urrency inflation of SIBO,OOO. But.it
is also provided that the volume of
legal-tenders shall not be reduced be
low $300,000,000. Supposing this limit
to have been reached, the following
would be the result:
. Present New
volume. volume.
! ,egal tenders $382,000,000 $300,000,0C0
Fractional curren’y, 46,000,000 46,000,000
Mat’l Bank notes.... 354,000,000 457,000,000
$782,000,000 $803,000,000
Increase 21,000,000
$803,000,000 $803,000,000
“ Here, then, is an assurance of infla
tion to the extent of $21,000,000, against
which we have the promise of resump
tion of specie payments at the end of
four long years.”
But the real benefit of this section is
found in the additional freedom given
co circulating notes. It is presumed
that European capitalists may, under
such encouragement, be induced to es
tablish banks in Southern cities and
thereby utilize the United States bonds
now held by them and drawing only
five per cent, interest. Their bonds de
posited in the Treasury at Washington
would continue to draw interest, and
the millions of currency which could
be had for these bonds so deposited
would enable the owners, as bankers,
to double their percentage. This is a
feature in the bill which may vastly
benefit the South, by increasing her
banking facilities and drawing capital
from abroad. It is a problem worth
considering, and, if properly pushed to
a solution, in Augusta as well as New
Orleans, may make us a great manu--
facturing as well as a great cotton
centre.
Servant Girls. —A Massachusetts
politician says:
If the servant girls of Massachusetts
were to call in their wages that they have
deposited in the banks, every business man
in Massachusetts would be broken. He
could not stand the pressure one day.
Whenever the servant girls make that call,
that moment the whole business pf the
country is dishonored.
If that be true, Grant and Congress
ought to get the opinion of a Massa-
girl on the financial
situation; and as there are so many
more women than men in the Bay
State, what a chance for husbands, to
be taken from those poor devils in New
York who are begging employment from
Booth’s theatre, at 25 cents a night.
Action, Not Words. —The New York
Freeman's Journal, concluding a pow
erful leader on the Louisiana case,
says :
The question is not as to the remedy the
Democratic States have—it is as to whether
they still have an intelligent love of politi
cal freedom, as our grandfathers under
stood it on this soil! We hope that some
of this spirit still survives. If it does, not
speeches, nor protests, nor resolutions—
except as turning sharply in' the direction
of acts— are needed.
Here, in the powerful States of the
North, words, however full of wrath and
fury, are sleepy things, if they do not point
to action!
The “ powerful States of the North,”
will continue to pave hell with good
intentions.
Strong. —The Rome Courier, speak
ing of the scramble for State printer,
says “ the present system is a disgrace
to journalism, and is an equal disgrace
to legislators who allow themselves to
be bought and sold.”
According to this ipse dixit, the
General Assembly of Georgia is no bet
ter than it ought to be.
White Trash.—Wo learn that the
officer appointed to look after children
employed in the Massachusetts fac
tories reports that 60,000 children are
growing up in ignorance because of
their employment at too early an age
in those factories.
Massachusetts is too busily engaged
in having negro children at the South
taught, at other people’s expense, to
waste much time on her own “ white
trash.”
“ Democracy.” —Gov. Tilden, of New
York, having announced his adhesion
to the unconstitutional amendments,
the New York Day Book says a knowl
edge of such sentiments prior to the
election would have defeated him horse,
foot and dragoons. No wonder the
Radicals say the only difference between
a Democrat of that sort and them
selves is simply being in power and
being out ol powen
Third Term. —The Louisiana affair
has made Grant the strongest man in
his party. The Courier-Journal's Wash
ington correspondent declares that no
otfcer candidate for the Presidency is
now much talked of among the Re
publicans.
Saulsbukv.— Hon. Eli Saulsbcry, a
Democratic Senator from Delaware,
confesses that he was “pleased with
the tone of the President’s message.”
We are sorry to acknowledge that
the President’s message has had a
soothing effect on a good many per
sons and papers at the North.
Freedom shrieked when Kosciusko fell.
Louisiana hardly emits a groan under the
gag of Grant — Union and American.
Amid the “ crash of systems and the
wreck of worlds,” New Orleans would
be a festive place. There is plenty of
fun going on down there, and the bar
rooms are made more attractive than
usual by advertising “ Banditti Cock
tail,” “ Banditti Roffinac,” “ Banditti
Soup,” &c.
Kern an,— The Senator-elect from New
York, Francis Ivernan, was a war
Democrat and, like Gov. Tilden, ac
cepts the fourteen and fifteen amend
ments as finalities, never to be disturbed
or questioned. His personal character
is irreproachable.
Cold.— lt was cold enough in Mon
tana, the other day, to freeze mercury,
whiskey and Chinamen.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES.
CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington, January 19.—The Leg
islative, Judicial and Executive Appro
priation bill was considered, and the
Senate, by a vote of 29 to 21, refused to
concur in the amendment of the com
mittee providing for the organization
of a Bureau of Commerce and Statis
tics. The present Bureau of Statistics,
however, was continued, and twenty
thousand dollars appropriated to carry
it on.
Sherman, from the Conference Com
mittee on the little Tariff bill, made a
report substantially the same as that
of the last session, with the exception
of the duty on hops, which was fixed at
eight cents per pound. The two sec
tions relating to tobacco and the sale
of bonds, which were the principal
subjects of disagreement last year,
were stricken out by the Conference
Committee. The report was agreed to
by the Senate.
Wright, from the Judiciary Commit
tee, reported with amendments, the
House bill for the relief of the owners
and purchasers of lands, sold for direct
taxes, in the insurrectionary States, and
for other purposes, which was placed
on the calendar.
In the House—Explanations and de
nials by members of newspaper report
ers connecting their names with the
Pacific mail subsidy occupied a good
deal of to-day’s session.
First came Storme, of Pennsylvania,
who, although he had steadily voted
and spoken against the subsidy, was
alluded to as the recipient of one of
those thousand dollar bills which were
said to have been floating around at
that time. Then followed Chittenden,
of New York, who had been confounded
by some newspapers with a person of
the same patronymic, to whom Abert
had paid several thousand dollars.
Then followed Sypher, of Louisiana,
who defended his vote for the subsidy,
but denied indignantly that he had
been influenced by corrupt motives.
Then telegrams were read from Dan’l
W. V oorhees, of Indiana, and Boyd
Winchester, of Kentucky, denouncing
the newspaper stories connecting their
names with the subsidy, and asking to
be summoned as witnesses.
Then a special committee was ap
pointed to inquire whether the privi
leges of the House had been violated
in the arrest and detention of Whitelaw
Reid, the editor of the New York Tri
bune, at the suit of Alex. R. Shepherd,
while in this city as a witness before
the Committee of Ways and Means.
Then another recusant witness in the
Pacific Mail investigation, Charles A.
Wetmore, the Washington correspond
ent of the Alta Californian , was brought
before the House for refusing to state
the name of a person who had men
tioned something to him derogatory to
the character of Beck, of Kentucky.
These various incidents of the Pacific
Mail investigation, with a couple of
hours given to the Indian appropria
tion bill, filled up the whole of to-day’s
session.
WASHINGTON.
Singular Speech of the President--
He has Kinder Feelings for the
South than Congress.
Washington, January 19.—The fol
lowing is a verbal abstraet of the
President’s speech to a committee,
headed by Alcorn, regarding the saving
of alluvial lands in the Mississippi Val
ley : “ I have not received the report,
but will give it careful consideration.
I was kindly disposed towards assist
ing in rebuilding the material pros
perity of the South, but regret that the
people of Shreveport should be dis
posed to lawlessness so soon after they
had been relieved by the bounty of the
Government during the yellow fever.”
Grant thought we would get less sym
pathy in Congress.
Washington, January 19.—The Cabi
net to-day perfected the Canadian
postal treaty, which will be immediately
sent to Canada for the signatures cf
the postal authorities there.
Whitelaw Reid appeared before the
police court to-day and gave bail to
answer the charge of libel.
In reply to a committee of Southern
members, who called on him regarding
the condition of the Mississippi levees,
the President said he had always de
sired to aid in promoting the happiness
and prosperity of all the people of the
South, but at times he felt that the
acts of violence so constantly occurring
would preclude any aid from the Gen
eral Government.
Mr. Sheldon suggested that it was
impossible for the people of the State
of Louisiana to repair the levees broken
by the flood of last year, that the sec
tion of country along the river had
always been peaceable and that the
colored people largely predominated,
and that the people who were disposed
to commit acts of violence constituted
a very small minority, and that the
whole should not be held responsible
and made to suffer for the acts of a
small portion. He said further, that
the impoverished condition of the
people was one cause of bad feeling
and violent action. That if the vigor
ous use of power was required to pre
serve order and protect life to do acts
of beneficience would have a mollifying
effect.
The President said his remarks were
not intended so much to indicate nis
own feelings as to suggest what the com
mittee might have to meet in the feel
ings of Congress. He had not seen the
report, but when it came he would con
sider the subject and decide what he
would do. After remarks from other
gentlemen and the President, the com
i mittee took their departure, feeling
that the President ’would recommend
favorable action on the part of Con
■ gress.

chenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic,
and Mandrake Fills.
THESE DESERVEDLY CELEBRATED
and popular medicines have effected a rovo
nion in the healing art, and proved the fal
.acy 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, 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 cu red in a very great number
of cases—some of them apparently desperate
ones—by Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone;
and in other cases 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.
Dr. Schenck himself, who enjoyed uninter
rupted good health for more titan 40 years,
was supposed, at one time, to bo 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 affected have used Dr.
Schenck’s preparations with the same re
markable success.
Full directions accompany each, making it
not absolutely necessary to personally see Dr.
Sclienck, unless patients wish their lungs ex
amined. and for this purpose ho is profes
sionally at his principal office*, corner of
