THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
FRIDAY. JANUARY 29, 1875.
CONVENTION.
We are of opinion that the great
mass of Georgians do not desire a
Convention to be held at this time.
After 1876 it will be better and safer.
We should take no unnecessary risks,
and the chances of getting such
changes in the organic law as have been
suggested are problematical in the ex
treme. Still, if the sense of the people
is desired on this question, let the
General Assembly pass their bill and
ascertain the popular will.
HARD TIMES.
So groat is the distress among the
poorer classes of the North that hun
dreds of able-bodied, sober men have
been offering themselves to the ice-cut
ters on the Schuylkill at 50 cents a day.
There being a surplusage of hands
they fail to obtain employment, even at
ruch starvation wages. Recording this
fact, the Philadelphia Chronicle says
if such a distressing state of affairs ex
isted in Louisiana, and instead of be
ing white, these earnest applicants
were colored people, what an outcij
would be raised against the White
Leaguers, and how bitterly planters
would be denounced for proscribing
the unfortunate negroes. The journals
that shed crocodile tears over the
poor negroes of the South, to be con
sistent, ought to at least say a word ir
behalf of the poor white people of the
North, who are pleading for work,
and are willing to accept the merest
pittance rather than be kept in idle
ness.
In the West times are no better. The
official statement of the Chicago Sav
ings Banks shows that their deposits
have fallen off $2,500,001) in the past
two years. The same story is told all
over the Northern country, and proves
that the laboring classes are exhaust
ing their little hoard of years during
this stormy day. God pity those who
have no hoard at all!
All accounts from Kansas indicate
that thousands of people are starving
and freezing. This untoward condition
is due to the ravages of grasshoppers.
Congress has been petitioned to help
these unfortunates as it helped the
overflowed portion of Alabama, last
year. No supplies are sent there as
they were to Alabama negroes ; be
cause, as a Northern paper says, Kan
sas happens to be peopled with white
persons, and bacon, etc., could not be
used for electioneering purposes.
Suffering in this country is almost
universal, and we dare say that the
East and West are to-day more bit
terly assailed by the “ results of the
war” than the South. We are all get
ting down to hard pan somehow.-
Many, perhaps, have already reached
bottom and been wrecked. Few will
escape without detriment, and the only
hope with the mass of the distressed
is that something better may turn up,
at no distant day. Apparent trifles
turn the scales of good or evil fortune.
These trifles or Providential manifesta
tions work in mysterious ways, and
often come when least expected. We
must all do the we can at
present, and trust that the future will
bring healing on its wings,
A. J.
A great many Democrats are rejoic
ing over the election of Andrew John
son to the Senate of the United States.
Strange to say, a good many Radicals
are equally, satisfied. Mr. Johnson was
elected by the solid Republican vote of
the Tennessee Legislature # allied with
not quite half the Democratic mem
bers.
The Columbia Union-Herald has the
following comment on A. J.’s success :
Well, if we must have a Democrat, we
would prefer Andy to any of them. We
can never forget his bravery and patriot
ism at a time when treason and rebellion
swept all before them in the South. Then
it could almost be said:
* * * * Faithful found;
Among the faithless, faithful only he.
The Chicago Tribune (Rad.) rather
consoles itself because Mr. Johnson has
never enjoyed the respect or confidence
of the “ upper class” or aristocracy cf
Southern politicians. And the same
paper adds:
He was never a secessionist nor a nulli
iier. He rejected the extreme doctrines of
State Rights and State Sovereignty Demo
crats. He lias always been a National, as
opposed to a State Sovereignty, Democrat.
Wnea'the war came, Johnson adhered to
the Union, and the others followed the
“State” into rebellion. But, nevertheless,
Johnson has always had the support of the
majority of the people of Tennessee, as he
has now in this fight with his old Demo
cratic enemies.
Andrew Johnson’s Democracy is like
the difference between the lion and the
hippopotamus described by the show
man—“you pays your money and you
takes your choice.”
Prospecting.— The Cincinnati Gazette
whist’esin the graveyard the following
tune: . - .
The Democrats thought they would
make a great deal of capital out of that
Louisiana business. Instead, they have
waked up , slumbering Republicans and
War Democrats all over the country, and
insure the election of a Republican Presi
dent in 1976. Nothing like a clear showing
of rebel hands in these days. There was
a corresponding exhibition in 1862, and the
following year Brough carried Ohio by
100,000 majority, and Lincoln walked over
the course In 1864.
Tdiejhccedent will hardly hold good ;
but if it should, impulsive oratory will
be at a serious discount in some quar
ters.
COMING HOME TO ROOST.
The Democrats in the Nebraska Leg
islature combined against Thayer for
Senator and overwhelmingly defeated
him. Strange to say, Thayer received
his death-blow by the publication of a
document which., like a curse, came
home to roost. Here is the fatal mis
sive :
Washington, D. C., January 31, 1867.
The Hon. George ll r . Frost: My Dear Sir:
I am very strongly of the opinion that a
law should be passed disfranchising from
voting and holding office all citizens of Ne
braska who served in the rebel armies, or in
any way gave aid and comfort to the
enemy. I have sent a draft of such a law
to Mr. Parmelee. 1 do hope the Territorial
Legislature will pass it, and then it will be
continued under the State organization. I
have also sent him a registry law. There
ought to be one in Nebraska. Jf there was,
it would shut out a heap of illegal copper
head votes. I trust the State Legislature
will promptly give its assent to the condi
tion in the act of admission. The Republi
can party of the country generally is look
ing with great interest to the admission of
Nebraska. They are anxious for the in
crease of Republican Senators in the Senate.
Please do what you can to have everything
ready and in favorable condition.
Very truly yours,
[Signed,] John M. Thayer.
Funny to have happened in Nebraska,
was it not ?
Nailed. —We have read some pretty
rough things about Sheridan, but the
following, from tho St. Louis Times,
caps the climax :
According to Sheridan every negro that
has been killed in the South has lost his
life on account of his devotion to “ the
great principles of the Republican party.”
As nearly all of them have been strung up
for robbery, rape and murder, this is rather
rough on Republican principles.
A forty column speech could not say
any more, and, we regret to observe, that
much of the lengthened oratory on the
Louisiana question has not said half
as much in the same terrible way.
Fixed. —A correspondent of the Sa
vannah News, speaking of Chamber
lain’s gambling hell at Washington,
says:
Chamberlain is very polite and profuse
in his invitations to people to visit his es
tablishment. Consequently there is no
trouble about his always having a crowd,
for if there is a place under heaven more
overrun with bummers and seekers for
free feeds than Washington I would like to
hear of it. But, as Chamberlain will soon
find, there is no money in them.
After this description of the supper
bummers, the ingenuous correspond
ent innocently said: “ I strolled into
his house about supper time the other
night.”
He knows how it is himself !
A Precedent. — Mr. Sharon, recently
elected Senator from Nevada, has been
a resident of California ever since
1864. Who dares to say that Ben Hill,
being a x’esident of Atlanta, is not eli
gible to Congress from the 9th Dis
trict ?
China. —The late Emperor of China,
though a mere boy, was ever so much
married. The nuptial ceremony with
ono wife alone cost $20,000,000.

Death of Judge Green.
Sumter, S. C., Jan. 27.
Judge John T. Green died to-day at
his residence in Sumter, at a quarter
past two o’clock, conscious and with
the power of speech unhnpared to the
last. His end was peaceful, and he
died in the Christian faith. He will be
buried on Friday, at Rembert’s Church.
G.
Judge John T. Green, of Sumter,
was the son of the Rev. Henry D.
Green, of Mechanicsville, S. C., and
was bom at Mechanicsville on October
18,1827. At an early age he entered
the South Carolina College, where he
remained for three years. He subse
quently entered the law office of Mr.
F. J. Moses, Sr., the present Chief Jus
tice of the State, and after a thorough
course of study, was admitted to the
Bar in 1819, when he had just passed
his twenty-first year.
In 1852 Judge Green was elected to
the State Legislature on the Co-opera
tion ticket, and, being rd-elected, serv
ed for sis successive years. Being
again put forward in 1858, he declined
to be a candidate, aud continued to
practice his profession in Sumter until
1861, when he was again elected a mem
ber of the Legislature. There having
been some irregularity in the preced
ing election, anew one was held in
1865, and Judge Green was once more
nominated and elected. In the follow
ing year, 1866, Judge Green ran against
the Hon. John N. Frierson, for State
Senator from Sumter county, and was
beaten by 66 votes.
During the war, and for some years
afterward, Judge Green was in delicate
health, and as he took no part in the
struggle, he was regarded as a Union
man. In 1866 he was appointed Presi
dent of the Provost Court in Sumter,
and held that post until civil authority
was restored. When the reconstruc
tion government was organized he was
unanimously elected by the General
Assembly Judge of the Third Judicial
Circuit, was unanimously re-elected
upon the expiration of his term of office,
and was still the incumbent of that
office at the time of his death.
Judge Green was a Republican in
good standing, and his learning, im
partiality and square dealing, on the
bench and in private life, won for him
the respect and confidence of all classes
and parties. For the past three years
Judge Green has been in bad health,
his malady, consumption, assuming a
more dangerous aspect within the past
three months, and finally causing his
death.
Potent Love Powder. -A man had
his wife arrested yesterday, charging
her with assault and battery. The court
endeavored to repair damages by urg
ing a family reunion. The woman said
no, she wouldn’t live with him another
minute; that she had ceased to love
hiQj.
Lady—“ Why, he’s threatened to put
love powders into the tea pot just to
make me love him, and I won’t do it.”
Court —“ Oh ! that love powder busi
ness is all nonsense.”
Lady—“ No, it isn’t nonsense, I had
a sister who hated a felleo like prison,
and he gave her some candy with a lit
tle love powder in it, an’ right off she
couldn’t bear that feller out of her
sight! You can’t come that on me. I
won’t have anything to do with him,
and if you make me, why I’ll come up
missing some day.— Ex.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES
CONGRESSIONAL.
Effort to Recognize Kellogg—Dead
Lock in the Civil Rights Bill.
Washington, January 28.—1n the
Committee of Privileges and Elections,
a proposition to recognize the Kellogg
government resulted : yeas—Morton,
Logan, Anthony, Mitebell; nays—Al
corn, Hamilton, Salisbury; qbsent—
Carpenter, Wadleigh. Mr. Alcorn stal
ed in committee that if the Senate re
cognized the Kellogg i overnmeni, he
should vote to admit Pinchback.
The dead-lock in tho House con
tinues, neither side showing any signs
of yielding. The probability is, how
ever, that an adjournment will soon
take place, and that tho Republicans
will fall back upon a renewed attempt
to change the rules next Monday by
adopting anew rule applicable only to
this session, prohibiting the Speaker
from entertaining dilatory motions.—
With that rule established, the passage
of the Civil Rights bill would be plain
sailing.
Senate —The bill extending the time
for the claim and payment of pre-emp
tors of public lands failed.
The bill protecting the postal rights
of the inmates of insane asylums was
reported on favorably.
Mr. Conlding made a 4,000 word
speech on Louisiana, which was much
admired by his friends and the party.
He sustains the President and approves
Kollogg’s call for troops, but says there
are many acts by both parties of which
he cannot approve. The general tenor of
his speech favored letting things alone.
He made no allusion to Pinchback, but
may to-morrow when he concludes. —
Adjourned.
In the House, the flilibustering con
tinues. The Speaker declared that on
Monday, under the call of States, a
resolution to amend the rules could be
referred to the Committee of Rules,
upon which motion the Speaker would
allow no dilatory motions. The Com
mittee on rules can report at any time,
and an amendment of the rules will
bring the Civil Rights bill before the
House, and allow a majority vote to
pass it.
The House is still in session.
Others are, but Gov. Herbert is not
despondent in regard to obtaininiDg a
limited appropriation for closing the
crevasses. At all events he has not
ceased his importunities.
Gen. Morey, just from the House,
says all parties are determined.
Conkling, while being generally ap
plauded, said Sheridan suggested an
impossible measure.
ALABAMA.
Important Testimony by a “ Carpet-
Bag Republican.
New York, January 29. —The Ala
bama Committee examined J. P.
Southworth, of Mobile, appointed
United States District Attorney for the
Southern District of Alabama, by
Grant, in 1869. Mr. Southworth testi
fied that he went to Alabama from Il
linois in 1858 ; was and always had been
a Republican ; had spoken during the
last campaign in Selma for the Repub
lican State ticket; though he knew the
general condition of the State well as any
man could, qs professional duties took
him to all parts of it; there was no
county in which a Republican could not
live and advocate political principles,
even offensively, without molestation ;
the effect of sending troops to the
State was injurious, and there was no
time when needed, or when the coun
try would not have been better with
out them ; was a carpet-bagger Repub
lican, and had been a Federal officer
and was not ostracised.
State Legislatures.
Springfield,, 111., January 28.—The
session of the Legislature was tumult
uous. Louisiana affairs were consider
ed. Four deprecatory resolutions were
introduced. The fourth, which con
demns Grant for upholding Kellogg,
and especially condemning him for
sending soldiers to break up a Legis
ture, parsed by a vote of 75 to 67. The
other deprecatory resolutions passed
by larger majorities.

r;;enck’3 Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic,
and Mandrake Pills.
THESE DESERVEDLY CELEBRATED
id popular medicines have effected a revo
viioninthe healing art, and proved the fal
.acy of several maxima which have for many
yeare 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 makingan
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 troth, according
io tho requirements of the case.
Dr. Schenck himself, who enjoyed uninter
rupted good health for more than 40 years,
was supposed, at one time, to bo at the very
gate of death, his physicians having pro
nounced his case hopoless, and abandoned
him to his fate. He was cured by the afore
said medicines, and, since his recovery, many
thousands similarly affoctod have used Dr.
Schenck’s preparations with the same re
markable success.
Full directions accompany each, making it
notabsolutoly necessary to personally see Dr.
Schenck, unless patients wish their lungs ex
amined, and for this purpose he is orofes*
sionally at his principal office, corner of
Sixth and Areh streets, Philadelphia, every

A CARGO OF TEA generally passes
through the hands of five or six par
ties before reaching the consumer, and, of
course, has to leave profit with each, thus
making yery “ dear goods.”
1 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.
I would say to the public'they can rely on
the quality of my TEAS, and the pi ice will
be LOW, because there is only ONE instead
of several profits, as is generally the case.
Retailers furnished in chests, at as low
rates as the same quality can be bought in
large cities.
Out- Dollv Will Buy
Two pound? of good Green or Black Tea,
four and a half pounds of good Rio Coffee,
three pounds Gillies’ celebrated Crushed
Coffee, 5 pounds of the best Cream Cheese,
two and onerhalf pounds good Goshen But
ter, four pounds pure French Mixed Candy,
