THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
TUESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1875.
MR. HILL.
The people of the 9th District are,
no doubt, perfectly able to manage
their own affairs; but if they choose to
select Hon. B. H. Hill to occupy the
place in Congress vacated by the la
mented McMillan, a great many per
sons in all Georgia will be rejoiced
thereat. Many editors seem to think
that Mr. Hul would perform prodigies
in Congress, because of his extraordi
nary eloqu': ice. There is some point
in this view, but the most influential
men in Congress are not always the
best speakers; and it does not follow,
as a matter of course, that Mr. Hill
M. C., from Georgia, would be the same
as Ben Hill, the great stump speaker.
Erseine, the most renowned lawyer of
his day, was the most prodigious fail
ure on record when elevated to a seat
in Parliament. We do not say that
such would be the case with Mr. Hill ,
but those who count on his having any
tremendous weight in Congress, merely
on account of his eloquence, may be
severely disappointed when the test
shall have been made.
The Atlanta Herald couples with an
appeal to the people of the 9th District
for Mr. Hill a regret that the Demo
crats of Missouri did not re-elect to the
Senate Mr. Carl Schurz. Does the
Herald mean by this that the Demo
crats should send a Republican to the
Senate from Missouri, just as the peo
ple of the 9th District of Georgia are
asked to send a man to the House of
Representatives who has acknowl
edged that “if he had ever become a
Democrat he did not mean it ?”
The fact of Mr. Hill’s Atlanta resi
dence need not give the people of the
9th District any particular concern.—
The Nevada Legislature has just elect
ed a citizen of San Francisco to- the
Senate of the United States, and it
would bo hard indeed if Hon. Ben Hill,
who lives one-half his time at Athens,
should not be eligible to the lower
* House of Congress.
For our part, we are inclined to hope
that the people of the 9th District will
gratify the gentlemen of the press,
who are so anxious about the matter,
and nominate Mr. Hill. In case of
his election, we warn him to do some
thing wonderful, or else prepare for a
huge disappointment. His gifts are
remarkable and his ambition bound
less. Let him, tnereiore, nave a,
to display them ; and woe to him if he
should fail to till the full measure of
expectation now meted out by his
idolatrous partisans!
AN OLD DOCUMENT.
According to the Boston Post, Gen.
Washington, when about to retire from
public life, at the close of his second
term, was thus saluted in one of the
journals of the day :
The man who is the source of all the mis
fortune of our country is this day reduced
to a level with his fellow-citizens, and is no
longer possessed of power to multiply evils
upon the United States. * * * * Every
heart in unison with the freedom and hap
piness of the people ought to beat high with
exultation that (****) from this day
ceases to give currency to political iniquity
and to legalized corruption. * * * * It
is a subject of the greatest astonishment
that a single individual should have car
ried his designs against the public liberty
so far as to have put in jeopardy its very
existence; such, however, are the facts;
and, with these facts staring us in the face,
this day ought to be a jubilee in the United
States.
Strange language indeed for even
the bitterest enemy to use in reference
to the “ Father of his Country.” The
revival of such an extract shows, at
least, that men in exalted stations are
liable to pay the penalty of eminence
in some disagreeable way. Even Eng
land’s Iron Duke, with the laurel of
Waterloo on his brow, had his windows
stoned by an English mob, and to this
day Apsley House has iron shutters to
every window to remind the British
population and foreign visitors that
the conqueror of Napoleon had hardly
escaped with life from his own people.
It is said by old folk, who have
witnessed such sights from time to
time, that one of the most melancholy
spectacles in the world is the retire
ment of a President of the United
States from office. All the worshipers
of power and gad-fly friends shrink
away, and he can scarcely muster one
true man to wish him farewell at the
railway station. In nothing does the
meanness of human nature become
more conspicuous than in the fallen
fortunes of a prominent politician.
Poor old Mayor Havermeyer was
hounded to his grave by the merciless
assaults of the New York press ; and
yet, hardly had his body become cold,
when the papers began to speak most
kindly and tenderly of him. Poor old
man! One tithe of that charity expend
ed upon him when alive would have
been ever so precious. But it never
came till death had touched the hearts
of his assailants with something akin
to “ the late remorse of love.” M
To return to the old document which
discloses how Washington himself was
regarded in some quarters as the ene
my of American institutions, well may
we ask, if such a man had proven so
swiftly the target of enmity, slander
and spite, who of the lesser lights in
this or any other country can hope to
escape the bitter ordeal of ingrati
tude ?
Growling.— The people of New York
.pay S3 per 1,000 cubic feet of gas, and
fyet they are not happy. The papers
jseem to think that 31.50 would be quite
[enough.
LOUISIANA.
No answering voice of sympathy for
suffering or rebuke of wrong has been
heard from our Georgia members in the
House. Why, we cannot tell; but the fact
remains that one and all of these sentinels
on the watch tower have been as mute as
so many of the speechless eunuchs who
guard the seraglios of Eastern Kings.
1 Chronicle & Sentinel-
Perhaps the Georgia members have
not had a fair chance to air their
oratory, since the Louisiana question
has not come regularly before the
House. When the question is regu
larly presented, we dare say there will
be an abundance of speech-making.
Meanwhile, the Conservatives of
Louisiana seem to be regretful of their
late action in organizing the Legislature
and are engaged in compromising. We
know not how much truth there is in
the matter, but here is the plan as
sketched in the correspondence of the
New York Herald:
Washington, January 21, 1875.
COMPROMISE PROPOSED BY THE LOUISIANA
CONSERVATIVES—THE OFFICES TO BE DI
VIDED EQUALLY BETWEEN THE TWO PAS
TIES AND FORMALLY RECOGNIZED AND
SUSTAINED.
The opponents of the Kellogg govern
ment in Louisiana, despairing of any but
extreme Radical measures, have proposed
a compromise, the leading points of which
are, “ That Kellogg shall remain Governor
and Penn succeed Antoine as Lieutenant
Governor, with an equal division of the
other State officers, with reciprocal pledges,
that the said officers shall not resign
or accept other offices or places,
but discharge the duties of said offi
ces during the residue of their terms
for which they were elected, and
further, that each and all shall pledge to
sustain each other in the proper and
faithful discharge of their duties; that all
the Senators shall at once take their seats
in the Senate and recognize Penn as Lieu
tenant Governor, and the House of Repre
sentatives when organized; that all the
members of the House returned by tht Re
turning Board, and no others, shall meet
in the House and recognize Mr. Vigers as
Clerk of the House until the House is fully
organized and a Speaker and his successor
elected; that the first act after a call of
the House shall be a nomination for Speak
er, and the Clerk shall call the roll in his
hands according to law, and the person
then having a majority of votes shall be
the Speaker, and so on until the House
shall be organized by the election of all its
officers; that the House shall recognize
the Senate as organized above, and the
two bodies shall jointly recognize W. P.
Kellogg as Governor, and the other State
officers determined herein as the lawful
State officers; that the Legislature shall
agree by resolution not to disturb the Gov
ernor, Lientenant Governor, etc., by im
peachment or otherwise, based upon any
charge or allegation for offenses in the
past or in the future, unless for real of
fenses and in accordance with law; that the
White League shall immediately disband,
and restore to the State government the
arms and munitions of war taken on the
14th of September last.” This proposition
has been fully agreed to by all the Conserv
atives; and Gen. Ogden, who is at the head
of the White League, has bound himself to
comply with the programme, so far as he
is concerned. It has been submitted to the
leading Democratic Senators here, and
though no opinion has as yet been ex
pressed about it, it is believed that it will
be approved by both Republicans and Dem
ocrats. Antoine is the only one in the way,
and he is said to insist upon remaining
X ! in , Gfo f/A ITI H.V
be ruined and made hopelessly bankrupt.
Big Thing. —Mr. T. Lowthia Bell,
the great English iron-master, at a
dinner recently given him at Pittsburg,
said: “ I have seen most of the moun
tains of iron ore in different sections of
the world, but those greatest in quan
tity and richest in quality known to me
are in Alabama.”
Ugh l— I The Brooklyn Argus tries to
make people believe that “a political
orator appeared before an audience the
other day in Hartford w ith a stump
speech hanging from his mouth in the
shape of an icicle.”
The Washington Chronicle refuses to
believe this on the ground that gas
from a dry meter never freezes.
True. —A New York Herald corres
pondent says : “ Quiet in the South is
fatal to all Radical plans and hopes.”
Let us have peace, then, by all means.
Hands All Round.— The Cincinnati
Gazette (Rad.) is delighted at the de
feat of Chandler. So are the Demo
crats. Everybody is pleased but
Chandler himself.
Dawes.— The new United States Sen
ator from Massachusetts is the very
image of Rev. C. W. Howard, of this
State.
Church Burned.
Hartford, January 2s.—St. Patrick’s
Church, Yicar-General James Hughes
pastor, was destroyed by fire early this
morning. Only the walls are standing.
The Church was a free-stone edifice
capable of seating 2,300 people. Among
the church property destroyed, which
included all the sacred emblems of
worship, was imported music valued
at a large sum, which the pastor had
secured during a period of over twenty
years. All the valuable buildings ad
joining, and the convent and school
house, were uninjured. The loss is
estimated at 3150,000 ; insurance
375,000. The origin of the fire is in
doubt, the insurance people believing
there was some defect in the furnance
flues, and the pastor thinking it the
work of an incendiary. The church
will be immediately rebuilt.
FLASHES.
The Appleton Manufacturing Com
pany, of Lowell, Mass., starts two hun
dred and fifty looms, which have been
idle ten weeks.
Rev. Charles Kingsley is dead.
Judge Munsell B. Field, formerly As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury, is
dead.
W. A. Weeks, colored, Assistant Sec
retary of State, was killed, in New Or
leans, last night by George Paris, col
ored, Tax Assessor, in an altercation,
reported to be about a woman.
A Lively Legislature.
Tallahassee, January 25.—The ab
sention of the Republicans defeated a
quorum. There was some shooting.
A man called upon a lawyer the other
day, and began to state his case in a
rather abrupt manner. “Sir, I have
come to you for advice ; I’m a husband
in-law,” “A what?” spoke out the
learned counsel. “ Husband-in-lav/1”
“ I have never seen that defined in do
mestic relations.” “ Don’t you know
what a husband-in-law is ? Sir, you’re
no lawyer ; you’re an ignoramus !—I
am a husband-in -law, but not in fact,
sir— my wife’s run oil”

Appropriations.
Washington, January 25.—The state
ments frequently made and published,
that certain members of the Cabinet
threatened to resign on account of dif
ferences of opinion concerning the
management of the Louisiana matter,
and that in consequence thereof the
message of the President was changed
in tone and language, are authorative
ly stated to be without foundation, in
fact, no such threat was made to the

the tone and character of the message
i as has been stated.
The chances of Congressman Sam’l
J. Randall, of Pennsylvania, for the
next Speakership of the House has
been brought into prominence, and
greatly strengthened by his vigorous
course regarding the Louisiana out
rage, and his ready knowledge and
efficient use of parliamentary tactics
against the Civil Rights bill.

sioners, who recommend an immediate
appropriation of 33,000,000 to repair

THESE DESERVEDLY CELEBRATED
id popular medicines have effected a revo
v i 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
Sehenck’s Pulmonic Syrup alone;
and in other cases by the same medicine, in
connection with Schenek’s Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills, one or both, according
io the requirements of the case.
Dr. Schonek 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

until all the Goods we wish to sell in this
way are disposed of; and we need not say
that Bargains will be offered, but maDy of
the Goods will be sold regardless of Cost,
at prices that will look like giving them
away! Many of them will be found tum
bled or soiled from frequent handling, but
their intrinsic value not injured.
Also, many Remnants of Goods of all
kinds will be offered at a mere trifle, but
just as good as if cut off a fresh piece,
and those who can use such for children
or other purposes, will save a good deal
of money by purchasing at this sale.
We will also offer many seasonable and
fresh Goods, of which we have more than
we wish to carry over, at vtry Small
Prices. We will not enumerate, but only
ask you to come and see if you cannot find
something that will be of use to you which
you can buy at a very Small Price, Bring
vour small change, as you will be able to
get a large quantity of Goods for a very
small amount of money.
Our terms will be CASH on delivery.
The Counters will be replenished as fast
as the Goods can he selected and ticketed.
So, come every day and stay as long as
you can! We will not sell these Goods in
quantities to speculators.

A CARGO OF TEA generally passes
through the hands of five or six par

course, has to leave profit with each, thus
making yery “ dear goods.”
I have a large assortment of TEAS, and
make a “specialty” of them in my busi

They are bought from the IMPORTER,
direct from CHINA and JAPAN, thus get
ting them from first hands, with onlv
freight and United States Receiver’s com
mission added to cost in China.
1 would say to the public they can rely on
the quality of my TEAS, and tho price will
be LOW, because thee? is only ONE instead
of several profits, as is generally the case.

rates as the same quality can be bought in
