HE CONSTITUTIONALIST
FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1875.
ON TO CUBA !
The telegraph bas made public that
he members of the Cabinet, exclusive
■ .f Secretary Fish, who is supposed to
have some mysterious connection with
Spanish claims, have determined to
adopt a rigorous programme with re
gard to Spain. Just as this announce
ment is sent broadcast over the land,
another statement is published con
cerning the rendezvous of the Ameri
can fleet at Key West, and great activ
ity displayed in getting the coast de
fenses in a state of preparation. All
of this may be merely precautionary,
and it may also be a neat device to
withdraw the attention of the people
from Louisiana affairs and fix their
gaze upon Cuba, which is supposed to
be the prize resulting from hostilities
with Spain. But the negative influence
reported of Secretary Fish would seem
to warrant that a brush with Spain is
contemplated in dead earnest. Failing to
- Iraw the South into another conflict—
i matter the farthest in the world
from her dreaming or design—a for
eign war has probably been hit upon to
quiet the fears of patriots with regard to
Central usurpation, and, incidentally to
make capital for the Republican party.
There can be no doubt that such a war
would be the nail driving out another
nail. It would be immensely popular
in many quarters, North and South. It
would employ many of the working
men now idle and desperate at the
North, and give a field of action
to thousands of daring spirits wuu
are chafing at the South. Tem
porarily, too, it would revive busi
ness and make money more plentiful.
Above all, as New Orleans is so near
to Cuba, a grand basis of supplies, etc.
would be on Louisiana soil and millions
of cash flow in that direction. What a
diversion this would prove in a com
munity so volatile, cosmopolitan and
pleasure-loving, the reader may easily
judge for himself.
The drama now being enacted in this
country is so full of surprises that no
man can safely predict the possibilities
of the next twenty-four hours. Wo
have grouped together certain power
ful inducements for a man like Grant
to solve his present difficulty by a re
sort to his favorite weapon. All who
imagine that the President has played
his last trump card, or that the Repub
lican leaders are at the end of their
resources, reckon most egregiously
without their host, and may commit
the absurdity of undervaluing an en
emy whose quiver is yet too full of
destructive and dangerous missiles.
A “SPECIAL ENMITY.”
A correspondent of the New York
World writes as follows concerning the
supposed milk in a certain eocoanut:
A prominent citizen told me last evening
that he was aware that Gen. Sheridan had
i special enmity against the people of New
Orleans, and, though he;was a great general
and was 'justly regarded with pride by the
people of his section, he was at the same
time human and actuated by the passions
of common men. The story he related to
elaborate his statement was as follows. I
quote his language as nearly as possible:
Gen. Sheridan is desirous, iu a very high
degree, of social distinction. When he
came to New Orleans after the war to carry
out the programme of the reconstruction
ists, political feeling ran high, and the citi
zens, particularly bitter and indignant at
having been deprived of their chosen Rep
resentatives, failed to extend any social re
ognition to Sheridan or his staff. When
the General was relieved and returned
Nortii he was asked by a prominent citizen
of New York, in intimate social and com
mercial relations with this city, what he
thought of the people of New Orleans.
“Well, sir,” replied Sheridan, “I found
them, when they visited me on matters of
business, extremely courteous, refined, and
polite; but, do you know, sir,” he added,
striking his hand on the table, “ not a d—n
one of them ever asked mb to his house.”
The General evidently looked upon
his satrapic proceedings as Beecher
regards his trial—a huge joke, and one
in which all the proprieties of life and
honor may be violated.
Paradoxes. —Govs. Tilden and Les
lie, of New York and Kentucky, are
catching it from the critics. The
former, in his message, spoke of “ the
social barbarism of an uninhabited
wilderness,” and the latter, in his State
paper, gravely alludes to a “ female
colored girl.” These solecisms are com
pared to Gen. Taylor’s famous sen
tence, “We are at peace with the whole
world and all the rest of mankind.”
By the way, speaking of Gen. Tay
lor reminds us of perhaps the best
punning retort on record. It seems
that Gov. Wise and a friend were can
vassing Virginia, the friend for and the
Governor against Taylor. The Governor
contemptuously alluded to old Zach,
and frequently called him “ Old Igno
rance,” whose speeches were written
by his son-in-law, Bliss. When the
Gov.’s opponent came to his turn, ho
simply retorted: “ When Ignorance is
Bliss ’tis folly to be Wise.”
McDonald. —The Legislature of In
diana, Democratically speaking, favor
ed inflation, and, on inflation resolu
tions, nominated Joseph McDonald, a
hard money man. The Cincinnati
(Jcizette, a Radical paper, is delighted
at McDonald’s election, so far as his
financial views are concerned. We
dare say its satisfaction begins and
ends with that statement.
Another Protest.— The Patrons of
Husbandry of Louisiana and Missis
sippi have given Sheridan the lie di
rect, and call upon their Northern
brethren to denouuc® him.
THE POOR.
Elsewhere, we publish a communica
tion from the McDuffie Journal relative
to the poor of Augusta. It is rich
reading and replete with suggestive
ideas. If any of the persons reflected
upon by this communication feel at all
aggrieved we shall be most happy to
give them an opportunity of respond
ing.
A Straw.— Drowning men catch at
straws. Here is one that our Republi
can contemporaries are eagerly grasp
ing. We quote from the Washington
Chronicle:
The propriety of using the army of the
United States in civil affairs, judged in the
light of the announcements of Democratic
statesmen, appears to depend very largely
on the political ends to be obtained by such
interposition. The last Democratic candi
date for the Presidency in his great work
entitled the “ American Conflict,” volume
1, page 244. makes the following curious re
cord :
“ The Legislature chosen under the Free
State Constitution (of Kansas), was sum
moned to meet at Topeka on the 4th of
July, 1856, and its members assembled ac
cordingly, but were not allowed to organize,
Colonel Sumner, wUh a force of regulars,
dispersing them, by order of President
-Pierce.”
Col. Sumner dispersed an undoubted
fraud ; but even if a Democratic Presi
dent had committed usurpation, that
is no reason why the crime should be
repeated.
Dough.— Mr. J. U. Dough, Conserva
tive member of the Louisiana Legisla
ture, ejected by the military, has sued
Phil Sheridan for 8100,000 damages.
This “ bandit ” hopes to make the
Lieutenant General’s “cakes all dough.”
— m-9 i
A New Senator. —The successor of
Senator Schurz, Gen. Cockrell, was a
Brigadier General in the Confederate
army, was with Gen. Hood in the Ten
nessee campaign, and wounded in
the battle of Franklin. He is regarded
as a man of “ discretion, prudence and
moderation.”
A Cusiosity.— Jackson __county, Fla.,
boasts of a farmer who raises his own
meat and bread, all the mules and
horses required, and plenty of cotton,
to boot. The name of this rare bird
and eighth wonder of the world is
Amos Hays.
Tea Party. —The receipts at the Mar
tha {Washington Tea Party, recently
given at the Federal Capitol, have
dwindled to 86,000. A Mrs. Biggs has
made much ado about it, and a city
paper refuses to publish her facts and
figures, on the gronnd that it would
create a “ social earthquake.”
Wendell Phillips.— The chief point
made by Wendell Phillips, in his Bos
ton harangue, at Faneuil Hall, was
that if any outrage had been committed
in Louisiana, it was the effect of bad
laws and not executive usurpation. He
charged the people, if they wished to
denounce properly, to brand Congress
and not Grant. The meeting compro
mised matters by branding them both.

To amend the act creating the Board
of Commissioners of Muscogee county.
The bill to preserve the unimpared
right of trial by jury, providing that
the jury shall be the judges of the law
as well as facts elicited a long debate
supported by Dußose, Arnow and
Peavy, opposed by Cain, Wofford, Mc-
Daniel and Black. _ This bill was vetoed
by the Governor last year.
Pending further discussion the Sen
ate adjourned.
The following bills were introduced
in the House:
By Mr. Alderman—To change the
time of meeting of the Legislature to
the second Thursday in November.
By Mr. Mattox —To abolish the Coun
ty Court of Elbert.

cers in 1871.
By Mr. Hardeman—To prevent the
shooting of fire-arms in Vineville.
The House concurred with the Sen
ate in adopting the resolutions submit
ted by the Committee on the State of
the Republic without debate.
Mr. Hamilton, of Floyd, introduced a
resolution for the appointment of a
special committee to devise a way
of reducing the public expenditures.
Agreed to, and the following committee
appointed : Hamilton, Anderson, War
ner, Warren, and Black.
There was considerable debate to
day on the State printing.
Mr. Walsh introduced a resolution
fixing to-morrow for the election of
printer.
Mr. Barker, of Bartow, offered as a
substitute a resolution reciting that in
consideration of the fact that the bill
now before the Finance Committee,
providing for awarding the printing to
the lowest bidder, that the election
be postponed until the committa re
ported.
Mr. Castleton, of Clark, offered as a
substitute for the whole a resolution re
citing, that whereas, it is supposed that
certain irregularities exist in the State
printing due to the present system of
awarding the same by the Legislature;
and whereas, true legislation and public
moral sentiment demands an investiga
tion of the subject,
Resolved, That the election of State
Printer be deferred until the committee
on Public Printing meet to investigate
the matter and recommend to the
General Assembly such measures as will
prevent irregularities and give justice
and protection to the State and the
printer.
Mr. Walsh thought it unadvisable to
award the printing to the lowest bidder.
The printing cost only 816,000 last,
year, which is less than any other
State. If there were any irregularities
they could be investigated after the
election. He moved an indefinite post
ponement of the substitues.
Mr. Turnbull, of Banks, moved to
table the whole matter, which pre
vailed by a large majority.

THESE DESERVEDLY CELEBRATED
id popular modicines have effected a revo
lt ion in tho healing art, and proved tho fal
.acy of several maxims which have for many
years obstructed the progress of medical
science. Tho false supposition that “Con
sumption is incurable” deterred physicians
from attempting to find romedies for that
disease, and patients afflicted with it recon
ciled themselves to doatli 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—somo of them apparently desperate
ones-fi>y 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 than io years,
was supposed, at one time, to be 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 h ive used Dr.
Schenck’s preparations with the samo re
markable success.
Full directions accompany each, making it
not absolutely necessary to personally see Dr.
Schenck, unless patients wish their lungs ex
amined, and for this purpose he is profes
