rHE CONSTITUTION ALIST
SUNDAY, JANUARY 24, 1875.
A PRACTICAL VIEW OF THE
LOUISIANA CASE.
In another column we copy from the
New Orleans Times a communication
from an old merchant of the Crescent
City, which the politicians may as well
hearken to. The writer is vouched for
by the editor of the Price Current—
himself the most devoted lover o? this
section we have ever known—to be a
native of New Orleans, and for nearly
a half century taking a prominent part
in financial circles. His devotion to
the South is as unquestionable as his
unconquerable repugnance to every
thing like trimming to effect personal
aims. Not too aged to feel ardently on
all public matters, he is old enough to
view political questions from the serene
height of one who had witnessed the
various mutations of parties since the
war of 1812. Such a writer may well
bs heard with respectful attention.
The main points made by this old
merchant seem to bo that Congress is
more to blame than the President for
the troubles in Louisiana ; that the in
strumentalities of the laws, the courts,
the Constitution and the ballot box—
aided by prudence and patience—are
the only adequate corrections of wrong;
that the strongest weapon in Demo
cratic hands is an assault upon the
authors of calamity, Congress, the Re
turning Board and Warmoth ; that
the weakest weapon is an indiscrimi
nate attack upon the President as an
Executor of bad legislation; that an
onslaught upon Congress, in the forum
of reason, gains almost universal sym
pathy ; that a personal issue with the
President stirs up the bile of all sec
tions and furnishes the Radical party
with its only pabulum of life.
We give this communication as a
valuable contribution to the Louisiana
controversy, because it comes from so
high a source and with such unimpeach
able endorsement, and comes, too, fro m
a man on the spot and not from an
outsider. The lovers of truth and jus
tice will not refuse to at least read and
ponder such statements, no matter
how unpalatable they may be to their
pride or prejudice.
Asa fitting companion piece to this
view of the case, we call attention to
the subjoined extract from the reliable
Washington correspondence of the
Baltimore Sun, relative to
THE PRESIDENT AND JHE SOUTH.
Washington, January 20.—The Presi
dent, during the past few days, has had
under consideration the various aspects as
sumed by the Louisiana question, and it
may be stated that a final disposition of
this unfortunate contest will be reached
either before the adjournment of Congress
or immediately after. This will be most
emphatically the case should Congress
take no action in the premises. The Presi
dent feels satisfied that during the entire
two years he has had the sole management
of the course of the Government, undirect
ed by Congress, with respect to the preser
vation of order in the Southern States, he
has been governed by but one impulse, and
that the performance of his share of duty
under the fourth section of the fourth arti
cle of the Constitution of the United States.
He repeats that he has always felt no lit
tle reluctance in dealing with the internal
affairs of the Southern States, and in view
of his repeated calls upon Congress for
legislation to define his action has now de
termined upon a course of his own. To ac
complish this he will wait no longer for
specific legislation. He has decided that in
the event of the seating of Pinchback he
will consider such action as equivalent to a
recognition of the legality of the Kellogg
government. Should Pinchback not be ad
mitted the President will look upon this as
an indication the Senate is not willing to re
cognize the legality of the Kellogg gov
ernment, and therefore he will not consider
himself any longer held to a support of
that government. If Congress should ad
journ without some positive action in re
gard to the Kellogg government, the
President will withdraw the United States
troops from Louisiana, retaining only a
sufficient number to garrison the forts on
the Mississippi below New Orleans, but for
no purpose of supporting any government
in power. This will leave Mr. Kellogg to
take care of himself.
It appears from this narrative that
Grant will compel Congress, if possi
ble, to define his course of action and
fix upon themselves the final responsi
bility of their own deeds. If Congress
should fail to act, and the President
out his alleged programme of
withdrawing military support from
Kellogg and leave him to shift for him
self, the Louisiana case will presently
assume a phase which will be as start
ling as it has been unanticipated. The
prudent and wise man, just now, may
be the patient observer of events rather
than the irritable orator.
These suggestions are given for what
they are worth, and for the purpose of
making up an intelligent opinion upon
all the facts of the case. The metro
politan papers, which so recently fired
up both Northern and Southern hearts,
have perceptibly subdued their ardor,
and we of the South may be helped by
patiently abiding the possible surprises
of the future.
Morton’s Plan. —The new question
now before the United States Senate is
Senator Morton’s plan “to dispense
with the Electoral College, and have
the people vote directly for President
and Vice-President in districts as for
Congress ; the person having a majori
ty in each district to be credited with
one vote therefor ; and the person hav
ing the majority in the greater number
of districts in a State to have the two
votes for the State at large—a special
tribunal to be established to canvass the
returns and declare the result.”
There are two fatal objections to
this scheme: First, That it is Mor
ton’s ; Second, That the people have
had their dose of “ Special Tribunals ”
*nd Returning Boards. j
WOMAN’S WORK.
We publish this morning an admir
able communication on “ Woman's
Sphere.” The author is one of the
brightest of her sex, and a beautiful
exemplar, in every walk of life, of the
“perfect woman nobly planned.”
It so happens, in this connection,
that we have had our attention drawn
to the outline of a capital address by
Bishop Peck, of the Methodist Episco
pal Church, on “Women’s Work in the
Church.” We quote as follows:
The bishop said that always in making
episcopal visitations he addressed the
women of the church, except where the
want of time prevented it. He looked upon
them as the hand-maidens of the Lord. It
was asked by women, “ What can I do ?”
Women can help their husbands, brothers
and sons to think. They can read religious
news and plans of religious work to them.
After getting the gown and slippers ready,
as all good wives like to do, they can say to
their husbands, I have read to-day of the
great opening for missionary labor, and
also that there is not money enough to
carry on tho work. If a woman uses her
influence with her husband against home
missions and other work of the church, be
fore she knows it she has made a small,
narrow-minded husband. Instead of his
believing that he belongs to the human
family, the wife gets him to believe that
he belongs to her. [Laughter.] Women can
manage to cut off a little nonsense in the
family conversation and slip in some re
ligious information. Business men, who
are perplexed by the every day affairs of
life, when returning home, require consola
tion and smiles from the wife, and don’t
want to hear begging and teasing about
ribbons and the like. Such men, Lord pity
them, go out of one storm into another.
In the matter of doing good, the Bishop
said he did not desire to make an argu
ment about sex. When he was thirsty he
would as lief have a glass of water from
the hand of a Christian woman as from a
great man or a servant. He did not see
how sex affected tho water. [Laughter.]
The Church had not yet completed its or
ganization. It was feeling alter the com
ponent elements of organic vitality in
Christian work. The child’s power had
been left out, but was gradually creeping
in, and almost all the woman power had
also been left out. Sinners who are not
converted were no harder than those who
were converted. The trouble is the church
had no one to go to them. In this connec
tion he spoke of the influence of women in
heathen countries. The world at home and
abroad can never be reached until all the
agencies that God has intended are put to
work. Bishop Peck spoke of the Women’s
Foreign Missionary Society and of the
good work it is accomplishing, and of the
Home Missionary Society, and of the per*
sonal effort made by visitation from house
to house in finding out the destitute and
administering to their wants, and in hunt
ing up those who do not yet attend any
church. He advised the ladies to co-oper
ate with the pastors in whatever work
they could do.
This is excellent and healthy coun
sel. The sensible and virtuous women
of all sects are the true props and
bases of civilization.
Louisiana. —The Louisville Courier-
Journal says Sheridan is just about as
fit to manage affairs in New Orleans as
a bob-tailed bull, with the delirium
tremens in flytime, is to take an invoice
of stock in a wholesale crockery store.
A correspondent of the same paper
writes as follows from New Orleans:
The situation here is one of perfect quiet.
There is no excitement. People attend to
their ordinary duties, and neither in the
street nor elsewhere does one hear the
political condition discussed. To read the
papers from the different parts of the
country one would suppose that expecta
tion was on tiptoe looking for a volcanic
eruption. The stranger, arriving here,
sees a similar condition of things, as far as
mere observation goes, as he has left be
hind him in St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati,
Louisville, or any other Northern or West
ern city. These people have suffered with
dignified patience a great political wrong.
They can afford to wait a little longer.
B. T.—The New York Herald would
not be surprised to learn, any morning,
that the Beecher-Tilton case had final
ly come to an end, that tearful letters
had been interchanged between the
contending parties, that Mr. Beecher
had exonerated Mr. Tilton and Mr.
Tilton Mr. Beecher, that the plaintiff
had resumed the editorship of the In
dependent, while the defendant had
continued his ministrations in Ply
mouth Church.
Box aud Cox would be satisfied.
Good Advice. —Vice President Wil
son gives the Republican party good
advice, but it is not only rather late in
the day, but almost of impossible ac
complishment. The good-natured old
fanatic commits the mistake of sup
posing that “civilization” depends upon
any political organization ; and while
he is only intent upon saving the
“party,” patriots everywhere are anxi
ous to save the country.
Latta.— The Democratic Lieutenant
Governor, and President of the Repub
lican Senate of Pennsylvania, remarked
in his inaugural, with much emphasis,
that we could never truly celebrate the
Centennial of American Independence
until peace and order had been estab
lished in every State of our Union.
This announcement fell like a bomb
shell on the truly loyal.
Gas. —The Columbus Enquirer says:
“By actual experiment, the cost of
making a thousand feet of gas at the
Pittsburg Almshouse is found to be
just 16% cents. With this as a basis,
Southern companies must make an
enormous per cent.”
One too Many. —lt has been dis
covered that Gen. Grant will have an
extra day in the Presidency, since
March 4th, 1877, falls on Sunday, and
no inauguration can take place till the
following day.
Waking Up.—Seme of the Republican
papers have recently awakened to the
fact that mob law exists to an alarm-.
ing extent in the East and West. They
have strained their eyesight so far
Southward that they overlooked rot
tenness and riot at home.
Statistics oe Railroad Fatality.—
The Railroad Gazette, which takes no to
of all the accidents to passenger trains
resulting in injury, reported in Ameri
can newspapers, figures up 204 killed
and 978 injured in 1874, against 276 and
1,283 in 1873.
Wallace. —And now it is said that
Senator- Wallace, of Pennsylvania, is
politically doubtful, the Railroad Ring
having determined his election.
Cutting. —The man who supplies
mince pies to hungry spectators of the
Beecher-Tilton trial made a sensation
recently. A Plymouth Church member
remarked, “ these mince pies are very
bad.” “Werry bad, sir !” replied the
pie-man ; “ but they’re not half as bad
as the langwedge as you’ve been lis
tening to all day.”
Michigan. —The new Senator from
Michigan to succeed Chandler is named
Isaac H. Christiancy. By the unani
mous vote of both parties he has been
twice elected to the Supreme Court of
the State. He was originally a Demo
crat, afterward a Freesoiler, and now a
Conservative Republican. His age is
63, and his ability first-rate.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES.
~washington7~
Washington. January 23.—The Re
publican Senators held a caucus to-day,
which continued for several hours.
The chief topic discussed was the con
dition of the South, but, there being
conflicting views, no result was reached.
The caucus, instead of giving their
views on the Louisiana question, agreed
to await the action of tne Committee
on Privileges and Elections on the
Pinchback credentials, and will there
fore be governed in the Senate by the
Committee’s report.
Some of the Senators saw no escape
from the present difficulties in that
State, except by remanding it to a Ter
ritorial condition. By this means they
could avoid the complications growing
out of the official recognition of the
Kellogg government, and open a way
by which order may eventually be re
stored. Others thought that a stronger
hand ought to be stretched toward
several of the Southern States—other
wise there might be anarchy. There
were opinions different from those ex
pressed by the more Conservative Sen
ators. All seemed to comprehend the
difficulties of the situation, but there
was no distinctive plan formally pre
sented as a measure of relief.
There was a large attendance at the
House Republican caucus to-night, and
a general discussion as to what was
best to be done in view of the present
condition of the South, but none of the
measures reported at the previous cau
cus were acted upon. Finally a reso
lution was adopted placing the power
of passing all public acts with the ma
jority of the House.
A resolution for this purpose will
probably be introduced in the House
on Monday, and when adopted will
have the effect of evading the two
thirds rule, as to public acts, includ
ing civil rights, the more energetic en
forcement of the protective laws in the
South, and authorizing the President to
suspend the writ of habeas corpus in
certain cases, together with other
measures which have been the subject
of consideration by the caucus com
mittee. The proceedings are repre
sented to have been harmonious and
the result entirely satisfactory.

THESE DESERVEDLY CELEBRATED
and popular medicines have effected a revo
n ion 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 cured in a very great number
of cases—some of them apparentjy 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 than 40 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 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.
Schenck, unless patients wish their lungs ex
amined, and for this purpose he is profes
sionally at his principal office, corner of
Sixth ana Areh streets, Philadelphia, every
