’HE CONSTITUTIONALIST
SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1875^
A GOOD BILL.
Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, has intro
duced a bill before the Committee of
Ways and Means intended to suppress
he Congressional Lobby. It premises
that “ the secret employment of per
sons by those interested in legislation
before Congress, and in the payment of
laims by the departments for the pur
pose of influencing members of Con
gress and government officials, has
grown .to be a system utterly corrupt
aid demoralizing against public policy
and subversive of justice, and unjust
and derogatory to the character of
those in position. Therefore it provides
that no person shall be permitted to
act as agent or attorney for any indi
vidual or corporation relative to any
claim before Congress or any of the de
partments without first filing a state
ment on oath, of the amount and
character of compensation which he is
ro receive, and bo greater sum than
the amount thus stated shall be col
lectable. All persons directly or indi
rectly receiving any sum in excess of
said statement shall be deemed guilty
of misdemeanor to be punished by fine
and imprisonment.”
The city of Washington is filled with
brazen men calling themselves “ attor
neys,” who are no better than corrup
tionists and these men are aided and
abetted by female adventurers who are
very importunate with susceptible
members of Congress. Not the least
of the sights of Washington is a fe
male lobbyist, arrayed like the Queen
of Sheba and painted like Lydia
Thompson, coaxing and wheedling some
innocent from the South or West who
has chanced to get a seat in the Federal
Capitol.
Mr. Beck’s bill is a good one
as far as it goes, but it will
not kill the lobby. This mon
ster will simply change front, and
probably would take a copper-bottom
ed and copper fastened oath on a stack
of Bibles. Mr. Stephens pointed out
the proper remedy. It was in sending
men to Congress who could not be
bribed with money, women or high
feeding. The idea is not so much to
purify the lobby by punishment, as to
elevate the standard of Congress itself.
The old Georgia statesman hit the nail
on the head that tiq|p, and it remains
for the people to apply the remedy.
Scraps.—The Georgia correspondent
of the Courier-Journal says :
The South will never lead in forcioie re
sistance. Throughout all its States, if the
scenes recently enacted in New Orleans
were to be repeated, it would pl&y the ex.
fiflk mr h N<tff iTuUm■’the T lead
and unfurl the banner of “the Constitution
of our fathers, and five hundred thousand
Southerners would fly to arms in thirty
days.
Well, “when the North takes the
lead,” we dare say there are that num
ber of man who would like to go in as
quarter-masters.
The same correspondent thinks, very
justly, that the General Assembly’s
proceedings may thus be summarized :
By Mr. BAbcock— A bill to change the
boundary line between Smith and Jones
counties. ,
By Mr. Harris— A bill to allow J. W.
Walker to peddle without license.
I have an old friend living at the four
corners of four counties, who says the Leg
islature has moved him so often out of one
county into another that he doesn’t know
where he lives.
Tinkering at tho poor old battered
Code will take up the balance of the
time not consumed in scrambling after
the printing.
Cheek.—Mr. Bennett’s paper speaks
like Sir Oracle on the Missouri Sen
atoi'ship, thus :
The defeat of Schurz in Missouri and the
election of Gen. Cockrell, an officer of the
Southern army, is a suggestive and unfor
tunate fact. It is a blunder that never
should have been committed by a wise
party. Missouri was practically a Northern
State during the war—at least, it was held
in the Northern lines. While it is natural
enough that the Southern States should
elect their army leaders to Congress such
action in free and Northern Missouri will
give opportunity for acrimony and censure.
We shall welcome the rebel from the South,
but we are hardly ready to do so from the
North.
You may be compelled to welcome a
great many other unpalatable things
before long. The people of Missouri
will hardly ask a young man, who
spends half his time in Europe, whom
they shalJi select for Senator.
A Jcst Compliment.— lt is with pleas
ure we copy and approve this senti
ment from the St. Louis Republican:
A few names will he placed, as of 1875,
side by side with the Hancocks, the Ad
auses, the Otises and the" Henrys, the
Sumteßs, the Pinckneys and the Rut
ledges of 1775. Among them will be the
names of Charles Foster and Wm. Wal
ter Phelps. They can afford to be read
out of a dying party for the sake of being
read into the undying gratitude of a great
nation. : ;.
If the Republican party had been
made up of such men as Messrs. Foster
and Phelps the hopes of the Democra
cy would be small indeed.
This and That.— A considerable num
ber of Western men are announced as
going to New Orleans with their fami
lies, for the winter. This does not look
like they believed in the “banditti.”
Perhaps, though, they are confident
Sheridan is not afraid and nobody else
need. be. ' ‘
■yilip. •
Satisfied.— The Chicago Tribune
(Rad.) is happy at McDonald’s election
to the Senate from Indiana. McDon
ald seems to have satisfied both friends
and enemies.
AN IMPORTANTJCONCESSION.
In his Faneuil Hall harangue, Wen
dell Phillips said:
Gentlemen, you know very well that this
nation called 4,000,000 of negroes into citi
zenship to save itself. [Applause.] It never
called them for their own sakes. It called
them to savo itself.
Here are two important admissions.
First: that, by themselves, the white
men of the North, despite their superior
numbers and equipment, could not
whip the South ; Second: that it was
not love for the negro on the part of
the Republicans that forced him into
citizenship, but fear for themselves.
The South has cause to feel proud of her
achievements, thus signally admitted,
and the darkies are surely entitled to
tho next Republican nomination for (Tie
Presidency, since,' without them, the
“ party” and the “ nation” would not
have existed.
Sarcastic.—" R. Toombs. Printer and
Book Binder,” is the way the Savannah
News puts it.
Toombs. — It is now in order for Gen.
Toombs to give his views on the Louis
iana question.
Very Good. —The New York Herald
heads some of its telegraphic news
thus:
GENERAL WASHINGTON DISPATCHES.
Being General Washington dis
patches, of course they “ can not tell a
lie.”
Ugly. —The Richmond Dispatch
makes this ugly mouth: “ Twelve
millions for whiskey spent in Virginia
annually—a “ glorious old State ’’which
is too poor to pay two millions annually
of its just debts !”
The Senate. —When the Forty-fourth
Congress meets, the United States
Senate will consist of 46 Republicans,
and 29 Opposition—a gain of 12 anti-
Grant men, but powerless to fully co
operate with a Democratic House of
Representatives.
Odd.— When they tell a poor devil in
the North to “ go West ” now, he points
to Kansas and Nebraska, and asks,
dolefully, if he can make money by
raising grasshoppers!
Uncertain. —The Radical papers are
crowing over the subdued tones of the
New York press on the Louisiana
question. It is a good plan to discount
a New York sensation about fifty per
cent.
Exactly. —The New Orleans Picayune
calls Sheridan’s dispatches to Secre
tary Belknap “ dime novels.”
We are sorry for this, because our
young men will be corrupted by read
ing them.
“ Bonanza.” —The Journal of Com
merce has not much faith in the “ bo
nanza.” In point of fact, the inflated
stocks have shrunk $20,000,000 already,
and the lamo ducks are numbered by
the legion.
The Old Story. —Alluding to the
death of a New Orleans journalist, the
Times says :
Since his arrival in this city, either sad
memories of the pastor some secret sorrow
it **avs*-* *AV/ UVJ/U ixt'vuo giV/UUiJ' VXi * yjx. 11U UX ixxxi
heart preyed on his mind, and he sought
consolation in the wine cup.
Perhaps the editing and writing out
of the midnight telegraphic dispatches
gave Rim “ secret sorrow ” or a “cave
of gloom.” We have had such sensa
tions ourselves ; but the proximity of
the Good Templars has been our salva
tion.
Cold Water. —The New York Herald
uses the sprinkling pot, in this fashion :
No party ever goes into power merely by
a hurrah and a beating of drums; the
passions excited by such questions as
Louisiana soon die out; it is two years
from now until the next election, and a
great many things happen in two years.
A party sometimes goes out of power
by a beating of drums ; Louisiana ques
tions die out, but others rise ; Gabriel
may blow his horn in the course of two
years.
Schurz.— The Republican papers are
scolding the Democracy of Missouri
for not re-electing Senator Schurz. —
Senator Schurz is a scholar and an
honest man, but he is also a Republican
and a doctrinaire. Castelab, in Spain,
is pretty much such a man as Carl
Schurz, but he is not a practical or
successful man. What really sticks in
the gizzards of the Radical editors is
that Gen. Cockrell happened to be a
gallant Confederate General. These
pluperfectly loyal scribes hate to see
“ Bertram’s right and Bertram’s might
Meet on Ellengowan height.”
The Air Line Railroad Matter.
Atlanta, January 22.—The matter of
the Receivership of the Air Line Rail
road was argued in the Superior Court
upon a petition from J. H. Fisher, ask
ing the court to reconsider the appoint
ment of Col. L. P. Grant. The court
refused the petition upon the ground
that such transfer might jeapordize
the rights of parties litigant in this
court.
FOREIGN.
Threats of the Carlists Against
German Sailors—A Turkish Matter.
Santander, January 22.—The Carlists
threaten violence against the German
captain and sailors of the Gustav who
are in Zarause if the town is bom
barded. The Spauish squadron conse
quently hesitates to open fire.
The Porte has withdrawn its demand
that the Montenegrins, implicated in
the Padgositzac outrage be surrendered,
in older that they may be tried by
Turkish tribunals. The Powers have
advised the Porte to send delegates to
attend the trial at Celtique.
The Boiler of a Locomotive from Au
gusta Exploded.
Savannah, January 22. —The boiler of
the locomotive of the night train from
Augusta to Savannah on the Charles
ton road exploded near Hardeville 3 a.
m. The engineer, John Bonneau, was
horribly mashed and will not recover.
Two firemen were injured. No other
damage. ,

FROM ATLANTA,
The Legislature—Alston Elected State
Printer—Business in the House and
Senate.
Atlanta, January 22.

Augusta Chronicle, and stating that no
combination had been made to buy
votes.
In the Senate, the discussion of the

THESE DESERVEDLY CELEBRATED
id popular medicines have effected a revo

.acy of several maxims which have for many
5 ears obstructed the progress oi! medical
science. The false supposition that “Con
sumption is incurable” deterred physicians
from attempting to And 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 Bup
pss&d 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 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
