THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27,^1875.
HARD PAN.
The war with France has not been
an unmixed blessing to Germany, if
the following statement from the Co
logne Gazette can be considered a fair
illustration:
In 1874, although the great bubble
schemes burst into the Summer of 1873, and
although last year a plentiful harvest of
corn and wine came to our relief, the
consequences of the crisis are still felt. Nu
merous undertakings are depreciated, and
even more lamentable than the losses of
tiie promoters are the mischievous results
of the sudden excessive rise in wages, which
could not possibly last, the luxurious habits,
the strikes, and all that these involve on the
laboring classes and the whole industrial life
of the German nation. Habits of indolence
and gluttony have been established which
it will be hard to eradicate. In many es
tablishments at Berlin work is still sus
pended at noon on Saturday, and not re
sumed until late on Tuesday morning-
The natural result is that the products of
German industry have become dearer, that
our exports diminish, and that we import
many things from abroad which we
could very well manufacture ourselves.
A characteristic example of this is that
the city of Berlin is procuring 300,000 cen
thers of iron piping for the canalization
scheme from Eng land, instead of employ
ing native industry. If, as is alleged, the
English supply it at half a thaler per cen
ther cheaper than our own works, no ob
jection can be offered to the saving of 150,-
000 thalers. The truth is that, as regards
the production of iron, which we thought
was a nucleus of German prosperity likely
to surpass foreign countries, our hopes
have speedily been dispelled. One good ef
fect of the scarcity of employment, in itself
very deplorable, which has occasioned
numerous dismissals at Berlin at the end
of the year, is thit, as the promises of the
socialists and other demagogues have not
been realized, the workingmen now find
themselves obliged to revert to their old
habits of industry and fugality.
This revelation suggests to the
Northern press that Germany is going
through troubles similar to those
now exp’erienced by the United
States and reaping the sad fruits en
gendered by the demoralization of
war, “bubble schemes” aud extravagant
inodes of life. The New York Bulletin
says “ that it does not know that, as a
“ consequence of all this, New York has
“ been obliged with Berlin to send to
“ London for ‘ iron piping,’ instead of
“ employing native industry ; but it
does know that, owing to the dear
ness of skilled labor, many orders for
“ printing, binding and much other
“ work which is annually transacted
“ here has had to be done in England.
“ And what is true of that particular
•“ branch of business is true of many
“ others. The panic of last year has
“ led all around to clearer perceptions
“ of these things than prevailed before;
“ and as our own country is now trav
“ e bng by slow stages over a hard
" road back to the healthier position it
“ occupied before the civil war, so the
“ Germans, under the operation of the
same invincible law of cause and
“ effect, must make up their minds as
well as they can to the same journey.
“ It is not pleasant ever to take the
back track, or to come down from
“ cloud-land to hard-pan, but the truth
“ is the matter is one in which there is
“ absolutely no choice.”
USURY LAWS.
There has been for many years a per
sistent effort to repeal the usury laws
of New York, bat hitherto without
effect, because the farming interest in
the Legislature has always defeated
any proposition of that kind. It is
contended that, the planting classes
cling to this ancient device with
the superstition of ignorance, and that,
in attempting to protect borrowers,
who can best protect themselves, they
are, in their agricultural needs, really
injuring everybody. The New York
law is just such a one as Gen. Toombs
desires to have enacted in Georgia. It
forfeits the principal and interest, and
makes the usurer liable to im
prisonment. We learn from the Chi
cago Tribune that Jeremy Ben
tham’s “Defence of Usury” is con
sidered by the best thinkers in
tiie most enlightened and prosperous
countries as a closure of the argument,
tUK * never bas been and never can be
successfully controverted. It would
piease us, and many others, if Mr. Me
dill, in his masterly way, would repro
duce the main points made by Ben
tham. He is evidently well posted, and
n < man now in high position on the
press has a more wonderful gift of con
densation and analysis. Meanwhile
we are indebted to him for the sub
joined table showing how the laws of
the States stand on this subject:
, Forfeiture of all interest— Alabama, Con
necticut, District of Columbia, Florida,
Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, North
Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Wisconsin.
Forfeiture of interest in excess of legal rate
Dakota, Indiana, lowa, Maine, Maryland,
Michigan, Ohio. Pennsylvania, Vermont,
West Virginia.
Forfeiture of ad rights under the contract —
Arkansas, Delaware, New York, Virginia.
JlAo legal restrictions— California, Colorado,
Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nevada, New
Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Georgia.
Air. Medill also gives the following
usefui information :
1 he abolition of the usury laws in Great
Britain required thirty-five years of agita
t ion. It is satisfactory to note that all the
agitation in this country tends undeviat
ingly in the direction that good sense, and
political eoonomy, which is nothing but in
dustrial good sense generalized, long since
pointed out as the true way. It is safe to
predict the ultimate disappearance of re
strictions on interest and an untrammeled
era of free trade in money. In Europe,
outside of England, the diversity in the
usury law is as great as between the
United States. Spain and Austria enforce
penalties almost as severe as New York.
France, Norway, Sweden and Denmark
confiscate the excess of interest over the
legal rate. In England alone, is money
lending free.
From all appearances it is better to
follow the example of England than
drift back into the old rut. The argu
ment seems a good one that the fewer
trammels that money and trade are
hampered with the better for all classes
and all pursuits.
RUINING THE PARTY.
The New York Herald puts the case
of Vice-President Wilson and Presi
dent Grant thus :
Vice-President Wilson thinks that Pres
ident Grant is ruining the Republican
party by his mistaken policy. The party
will be compelled to decide between these
conflicting views. Mr. Wilson is a faith
ful representative of the great mass of Re
publican voters; Gen. Grant represents
the office-holding interest. The salvation
of the party depends upon which of those
conflicting views prevails in Republican
concils. Vice-President Wilson sees that
GBANT-ism is destruction unless General
Grant forces his way to a third term by
military violence, which would trample
down all party distinctions under the iron
heel of a relentless imperialism. If free
elections are permitted in 1876 the defeat of
the Republican party is inevitable, unless
the policy of Grant is exchanged for the
policy of Wilson.
If Grant is ruining the Republican
party, why not let him continue the
good work ? If he should attempt to
subvert the liberties of the country,
after demolishing the Republican or
ganization, then patriots of all parties
can rally against him and defeat his
purpose. It seems, however, that,
since the darling dream of Democracy
is the “ overthrow of the Republican
party,” it may not be amiss to let
Grant smash his own bantling in his
own way. If the lovers of liberty can
not smash him afterward, then the
country is hopelessly gone to the
“ demnition bow-wows” and all the
eloquent protests in the world are just
so many psalms sung to a dead mule.
-SB THE LITTLE JOKER.
It is the glory of the speculative
gambler that he can adapt his policy to
hard as well as flush times. The New
York Sun records that the Wall street
sharpers have recognized the strin
gency of the money market and preva
lence of poverty by charging only one
per cent, on the par value of stock de
posited with them. They used to
charge ten per cent., but the bites are
few and the victims scarce at that ex
orbitant figure. The Sun says that on
the old plan the gambler risked the en
tire value of the stock involved in his
operations, but on the new one he can
. lose only the little sum' he pays down.
, The system is simple and easily
, learned, and promises to become
i as popular as faro or keno.—
i In order that there may be no mistake
in comprehending this latest dodge of
; the land sharks, pamphlets have been
■ issued describing the nature and ad
’ vantages of this little game. The “ in
’ finite number of fools ” are informed
[ by these pamphlets that the possibility
. of loss is almost as nothing while the
’ chance of enormous profits is bonanza
like.
We dare say these Jeremy Diddlers
i wili reap a rich harvest, so long as the
world is made up iu part of men who
expect to get rich by lotteries of differ
ent kinds and are devoted to humbug.
LOOKING T<Ta*SETTLEMENT.
* The Conservative caucus in New Or
leans have adopted the following reso
> lution :
Resolved by this House caucus, composed
i of the Conservative members returned by
l the Returning Board, and those claiming
to have been elected, that,,' desiring in
interest of our afflicted State to have a
solution of our political troubles, and rely
ing on the integrity [and fairness of the
four members of the Congressional Com
mittee in New Orleans, and in advance of
an investigation on their part, we, as a
body, hereby agree, if the task is not con
i sidered too onerous, to take the returns of
1874, together with all fair and reliant tes
timony, and upon such returns and evi
dence to declare what members of the Leg
islature were fairly elected.
Avery fair proposition. The Chair
man of the Congressional Committee
accepted the document and has agreed
to take it into consideration. The peo
ple of Louisiana appear to be settling
their political affairs in their own way.
Whether the Conservatives will be
helped or injured by outside denun
ciation of the parties who have the
settlement in hand, we leave the reader
to judge for himself.

KALAKAUA’S SPREE.
Disgraceful Conduct of '• His Majes
ty ” in St. Louis.
Kalakaua left this morning on a
special train over the Missouri Pacific
Railroad for Omaha. He was accom
panied by a number of railroad officials.
A stop of an hour was made at Jeffer
son City, where the King was escorted
to the Executive Mansion, and received
by Gov. Hardin and introduced to the
members of the Legislature. The St.
Louis people are decidedly glad to be
rid of the royal visitor. It is confiden
tially admitted that he spent a
night iu one of the notorious
bagnois of the town, and spent
several hundred dollars for cham
pagne. In the course of his
entertainment here Kalkaua was
taken to Shaw’s garden, and the hospi
table proprietor, Mr. Henry Sha.v,
brought out the choicest stock from his
wine vault, but the King turned up his
nose contemptuously at the mild bev
erages. Later in the he was taken
to the residence of Gen. Sherman, who
placed befor his guest the best brand
of Bourbon whiskey. The King drank
it immoderately, and before leaving the
house became gloriously tight. He ad
dressed Vice-President Madden, of the
City Council, very familiarly as Mike,
clapping him on the back and telling
him and the rest of the committee that
upon his return to Hawaii he would
surely send a ship and take them all
to the Cannibal Islands. The commit
tee became thoroughly disgusted with
their duties, but have for their owe
sakes endeavored to keep quiet these
scandalous doings.
A lawyer pictured the meanness of
! an opponent by saying that if his soul
1 should be placed inside of a mustard
' seed, it would have as much play room
as a woodchuck would have in the
State of Conceeticut.

FROM ATLANTA.
Legislative Proceedings—Bills Passed,
Lost and Presented—Prof. White
and the Patapsco Guano Company.
Atlanta, January 26.
The Senate passed the bill recom
mended by the Finance Committee
regulating the commissions of Tax Re
ceivers and Collectors. The rate of
commissions remains the same, but the
law makes the amount of State and
county tax a united basis instead of
State tax alone, which slightly reduces
the compensation of officials not affect
ed by the special law. The Receivers
and Collectors of Chatham, Fulton and
Richmond are allowed a salary of
$4,000 for Receivers and $5,000 for Col
lectors.
The following bills passed in the
Senate : To authorize the Ordinary of
Elbert county to hold the office of
Clerk of Court; to amend the act in
corporating the Merchants’ and Me
chanics’ Bank of Columbus ; to prevent
the sale of liquor to minors; to amend
the charter of Columbus so as to pro
vide for the election of two sextons—
white and colored ; to amend the act
incorporating the Elberton Air-Line
Railway; to confer upon the town of
Americus the power of controlling tolls
on certain bridges on Flint river.
The following bills were introduced
in the Senate:
By Mr. Black—To incorporate the
Georgia Grange and Planters’ Banking
Company, with the office in Macon.
By Mr. Kibbee—To amend that sec
tion of the Code relative to the juris
diction of the Judges of the County
Courts iu Pulaski and Dooly counties.
By Mr. O’Daniel—To change the time
of holding court in Twiggs county.
The following bills passed the House :
To abolish the per diem pay of jurors
in Wilcox and Coffee counties ; to pro
hibit camping and building fires under
public and privatexbridges.
The bill to change the present school
system in Glascock was lost.
The following bill was introduced by
Shewmake, of Burke; to prevent the
waste of virgin affections and to hus
band our resources by levying a tax on
bachelors.
A bill to require all qualified voters
to vote in their own militia District.
The special order for Monday is the
bill fixing the homestead exemption at.
seven hundred dollars specie and three
hundred personalty and substitute of
the committee recommending the same
homestead as existed prior to the con
st* fcution of 1868. Special order Friday
week.
W. H. Sparks, author of “ Memo
ries of Fifty Years,” delivers a lecture
Friday night. Subject, “Life and
Times of Sargent D. Prentiss.”
About 550 bills have been presented in
both houses so far.
An important arbitration has been
progressing here for two days past,
between the Patapsco Guano Company
on tue one part, and the State Univer
sity and State Agricultural Society on
the other part, growing out of allega
tions made by the Guano Company,
that the analysis of their fertilizer by
Prof. White, of the State University.,
was incorrect and injured the business
of the company. The Committee on
the Agricultural Society, to whom the
matter was referred, consisting of Col
quitt, Phillips, Mobley, Lawton, Adams,
Black and Livingstone, has not yet an
nounced their decision, but will do so
to-morrow. The impression is that
Prof. White will be sustained.

CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington, January 26.
Senate. —The Chair presented a com
munication from the Secretary of the
Interior, in answer to the Senate reso
lution of the 15th inst., including
copies of the report of the Commis
sioner General of the Land Office rela
ting to swamp lands in Louisiana. Or
dered to be printed and laid on the ta
ble.
Edmunds, of Vermont, introduced a
bill to provide for and regulate the
counting of votes for President and
Vice-President. Referred to Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections.
The following bills were passed : The
Senate bill to facilitate the disposition
* of cases in the Supreme Court of the
United States, and for other purposes ;
the House bill to amend the 23d para
graph of section 3of an act to regu
late the fees and costs to be allowed
clerks, marshals and attorneys of
Circuit and District Courts of the
United States, and for other pur
poses, approved February 26, 1853;
House bill to extend provisions of an
act approved March 3d, 1851, entitled
an “ Act to provide for the collection
of debts due from Southern railroads,”
and for other purposes ; House bill to
provide for deducting any debt due the
United States from any judgment re
covered against the United States by
such debtor; House bill relating to
punishment of crime of manslaughter ;
Senate bill to change the boundaries of
the eastern and western Judicial Dis
tricts of the State of Texas, and fix
times and places of holding courts in
the same, was passed, but Hamilton,
of Texas, entered a motion to recon
sider.
Louisiana debate was then resumed
and Pease, of Mississippi, concluded his
argument commenced yesterday. He
said outrages were daily committed in
the South. The American Senate and
American people should become
awakened to the fact that the
country was on the eve of another rev
olution more fatal initsresuls than the
late rebellion. He argued that crime
was more frequent in the South than in
the North, and read from statistics to
show that such was the case. He de
nied that white men were ever punish
ed in the South for the murder of ne
groes. The same spirit which pervad
ed the press of the South in 1861 ex
isted to-day. He knew there was a
large element in the South which did
not subscribe to these wild doctrines ;
the old Whig party did not subscribe
to them, but that party was powerless.
The same old Democrats who brought
on the difficulty before were the men
who were the leading editorial writers
to-day, the men who were firing the
Southern heart to murder and assassi
nation and would overturn the Gov
ernment of the United States if
necessary. In every case where
the Treasury of a Southern State had
been plundered, it had been done
by Democrats. Members of that party
were in the scheme some way. He ar
gued that Mississippi was the best re
constructed of any of the insurrection
ary States, and every dollar of the
State debt could be paid in two years.
In conclusion, he called upon the Sen
ator from Ohio (Thurman), as leader of
the Democratic party, to say to Demo
crats in the South that outrages there
must be stopped.
Thurman read from a speech deliv
ered by him in the Senate January 18,
1871, when he condemned anything
like violence, and*asked tjje people of
the South to obey the laws. He argued
that the picture of the condition of
Southern society could not be drawn
by newspaper clippings. If they were
to be taken, a picture of the condition
of Northern society could be drawn
which would make any man living
north of the Potomac shudder. Thur
man will conclude his speech to-mor
row.
House. —The House was engaged in
the call of committees for reports.
Various propositions, changing the
manner of electing the President, were
ordered printed.
A resolution, paying interest on the
debt of the District of Columbia in cur
rency, was referred to the Committee of
the Whole.
The bill giving citizens of inquired
territory by the United States citizen
ship was passed. This bill does not
give Mexican citizens the right to ap
pear before the Mixed Commission.
The Judiciary Committee reported
adversely to forming anew S ate from
portions of Louisiana and Texas.
Cessna, of Pennsylvania, from the
Judiciary Committee, reported adverse
ly on the bill for the relief of the
Southern States by the compromise
and settlement of their debts. Laid
on the table.
The Judiciary Committee reported
an amendment to the Constitution fix
ing the Presidential term at six years,
and prohibting a re-election of the
President. An interesting debate en
sued, in which Butler, of Massachu
setts, intimated his willingness to sup
port Grant for a third term, as a ne
cessity to put down lawlessness in the
South, and in which E. R. Hoar, ot
Massachusetts, and E. H. Roberts, of
New York, took strong ground, against
a third term, the latter declaring that
in the direction of the dictatorship and
strong government lay the murder of
the Republic. The amendment was
defeated for want of the necessary
two-third’s majority—yeas, 134 ; nays,
104.
WASHINGTON.
Supreme Court--Republican Caucus-
Pinchback-*Civil Rights.
The Supreme Court yesterday de
cided that in the question of loss be
tween a shipper and an express com
pany, stipulating that the loss should
be reported within sixty days, it was a
valid agreement, and that after sixty
days, without process or notice, the
shipper had no good claim. In giving
this opinion Judge Strong said sixty
days was a reasonable limitation.
The Republican caucus of the House
upon Louisiana affairs was discordant.
Many prominet Republicans have left.
There is no prospect of a definite line
of proceedings that will control the
party. Gen. Logan thinks Pinchback
will be seated.
The Republican caucus of the House
resolved to instruct the Judiciary
Committee of the House to report their
Civil Rights bill, in order that there
should be three hours’ debate, during
which it would be open to amendment.
At the close of the three hours the
previous question shall be moved,
when a vote will be forced if it takes a
48 hours’ session. It is not known now
when the bill will come up in order.
Discord continued to the end of the
session.

chenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic,
and Mandrake Pills.
THESE DESERVEDLY CELEBRATED
id popular medicines have effected a revo
i s 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 Schenek’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. Ho 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.
Bchenck, unless pationts wish their lungs ex
amined, and for this purpose he is profes
sionally at his principal office, corner of
Sixth and Areh streets, Philadelphia, every
Monday, where all letters for advice must be
addressed. Schenk’s medicines are sold by

A CARGO OF TEA generally passes
through the hands of five or six par •
ties before reaching the consumer, ana, of
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 -
ness, regarding the quality and price.
They are bought from the IMPORTER
direct from CHINA and JAPAN, thus get
ting them from first hands, with only
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 the price will
bo LOW, because there is only ONE instead
of several profits, as is generally the case.
Retailers furnished in cheats, at as low
rates as the same quality can be bought in
large cities.
One Dollar Will Buy-
Two pound - * of good Green or Black Tea,
four and a half pounds of good Rio Coffee,
