THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1875.
MR. STEPHENS.
The editor of the Birmingham (Ala.)
Independent, having called upon our
illustrious Representative either to
speak out on the Louisiana question or
retire, the Rome Courier administers to
him a first-class drubbing, thus :
If the Independent man can just hold his
little span of frisky horses for about two
minute? and a half, we think Mr. Stephens
may gratify him at the proper time. For
the information of said editor, we will
st te that tho Louisiana question has not
yet been brought before the House. It
seems to have been desired that the dis
cussion should be confined to the Senate
for the present.
Whenever the proper time arrives to in
troduce the matter in the House, it is our
opinion that Mr. Stephens will be heard, if
necessary that he should speak. If not
necessary the Independent man will have to
continue holding his little horses or let
them out at full speed, as he likes. At any
rate, Mr. Stephens will be very apt to do
what he thinks is right and not retire,
either.
Mr. Stephens is not in the habit of
“ going off half cocked.” If such had
been hi3 character, his opinion would
not be worth having. His silence at
this time may be far more valuable to
the cause of the South than the blab
of other men. Our people must be pa
tient. While Mr. Stephens does not
ask them for their confidence, he may,
with some warrant, think that he is en
titled to it, and that it will be time
enough for the people to question either
his principles or judgment as to the
best course to pursue to secure their
welfare, when it shall appear that they
ever suffered loss or wrong by follow
ing his counsels. It is human to err
and Mr. Stephens is not above human
frailty ; but he can at least console
himself with the reflection that,
in all his past life, he has not com
mitted any error in act or counsel in
public questions from which public
detriment has resulted. His counsels
have often been declined, but in no in
stance, we think, without injury, as
subsequent events have pr >ved. In no
instance, when his advice has been fol
lowed have injury or disaster super
vened. A man who has been so cele
brated for integrity and wisdom in the
past deserves to lie confided in by the
men of the present. The developments
of the future may cause thousands to
wish that the prudence of Mr. Ste
phens had been shared by others who
are now the objects of popular idolatry.
Let us wait and see.
HANDS ALL ROUND.
While a considerable number of
Southern Democrats continue to sing
hosannahs over the election of Andrew
Johnson to the United States Senate,
their joy is shared by many of the Re
publicans. The reason why the Re
publicans of the Legislature stuck to
him and finally elected him was be
cause of his sentiments expressed at a
conference with them. Here they are :
If elected, I will go to the United States
Senate as representative of the Union sen
timent of Tennessee, and of an ante-bellum
Democracy. I will advocate no radical
measure, but will endeavor to take a posi
tion on medium ground, as opposed to
both extremes. I will not .oppose Grant’s
policy except in very extreme cases. If
elected by the aid of Republican votes, I
will never forget what I owe that party.
The fiery, untamed admirers of An
drew Johnson may learn from this
that the ex-President does not propose
“to make Rome howl ” in a way al
together satisfactory to them.
In this connection, we may say that
the Washington Chronicle (Rad. Repub
lican) rather rejoices over A. J.’s tri
umph, and puts the case as follows :
He is, we think, a reliable, not to say an
intense, Union man. Judged by his past
record, with all his political foibles, his
presence in the United States Senate is in
finitely preferable to any statesman who
can conscientiously put on and throw off
allegiance to the national flag at the com
mand of the rebel element of the popula
tion.
Andrew Johnson stood by the Union
bravely when his Southern associates were
swept from their posts of duty by insane
desire to divide the country and to organ
ize anew republic founded on the corner
stone of slavery. He made great sac
rifices for the eause to which his
heart appeared to be firmly attached.
And as President, with all his faults of
administration, his manifestation of love
for the Union never wavered. In the rap
idly coming events, standing, as the coun
try now does, on the crater of a slumbering
volcano, Johnson’s election may hereafter
come to be regarded as an interposition of
Divine Providence. The Republican ma
jority after the fourth of next March will
bo fearfully small. A few premature va
cancies from States now controlled by the
Democracy may entirely overthrow it. In
that event the perpetuity of the Govern
ment may depend on the inflexible Union
sentiments of a few Democratic Senators
like Andrew Johnson.
Well, the old gladiator is on trial and
may disappoint both parties. At pres
ent, men of both parties seem satisfied
with the Tennessee Senator and it is a
remarkable case of the meeting of ex
tremes.
Oblivious. —A man may be a very
great statesman and yet make ridicu
lous mistakes. Thus it is related that
Mr. Gladstone was called upon to re
new his subscription of one guinea to
the Plumstead Soup and Bread Socie
ty. He wrote in response that he left
that sortof benevolence “ as one rather
for those on the spot than at a dis
tance,” and said, “ I don’t propose, un
less under special circumstances, to
renew my contribution.” He forgot, it
seems, that Plumstead is in Greenwich,
and that he represents Greenwich in
Parliament, and is therefore supposed
to be very near.
THE BONANZA CRAZE.
The New York Express thus dis
counts the bonanza excitement in Cali
fornia :
There was a like “ craze ” on the subject
of Ophir many years ago. Samples of its
ore were sent to London, and assayed $67-
000 to the ton. The agent of the Roths
childs was Liken into the mine and pro
fessed to have been dazzled by the display.
They went on after that, and worked the
mine, and took out a few millions. Then
the great ore deposit disappeared with a
suddenness which involved the chief own
ers of the mine in ruin. Just about the
time that horn silver could be cut out with
a jack knife the pick of the miner struck
the hard prophyry, and, as the Sacremento
editor says, financial night and chaos su
pervened.
By and by the California mining bubble
will burst, and the owners, who have been
going up like an inflated balloon with gas,
will be]very apt to come down like a balloon
with the gas exploded.
Meanwhile, however, some startling
changes have Liken place in San Fran
cisco. Paupers have become rich, ser
vant girls have become small capital
ists, and clerks have discharged their
employers. We dare say the end of it
all will be the enrichment of a few
sharp men at the expense of a multi
tude of fools.
What He Thinks.—When the Ha
waiian King was asked what he thought
of American, i. e. Yankee women, he
replied:
I think they are handsome, bold and for
ward : why I actually received several let
ters from ladies in New York, Washington
and Boston, plainly proposing marriage. I
am a bachelor; but when I want to marry
a woman I will ask her. 1 do not like to
have women propose. It is, in my opinion,
wrong.
Think of those brazen white spinsters
thus rebuked by a mulatto “ king.”
Worth Having.—The Pacific Mail in
vestigation has settled that it is better
to be a door-keeper of Congress than
almost any other official, so far as
filthy lucre is concerned. A young man
of loose morals who wants to live easily
should aspire to be a Congressional
door-keeper.
Dudley.—Bishop Whittingham, of
Maryland, refuses, for “ Scriptural rea
sons,” to be present at the consecra
tion of Rev. Thomas IT. Dudley, or sign
his credentials. The “ Scripture rea
sons ” aro that Mr. Dudley has been
twice married.
Tragic.—The Brooklyn correspon
dent of the Chicago Tribune predicts
that a tragic incident will end the
Beecher-Tilton trial.
Dead.—The mother of Frank Moul
ton died while ho was being cross
examined. When the news was con
veyed to him, he retired for a few
moments, and then submitted himself
to the lawyers.
■ i >
Poker. —One of tho Pacific Mail wit
nesses testified that he won his money
at poker. That is the neatest kind of
a dodge. The fellow who is to bribe
you plays a little game of poker, and
cleverly allows the fellow who is to be
bribed to win the necessary and stipu
lated amount.

ATLANTA.
Legislative Proceedings-—S und r y
Bills Passed, Proposed and Re
jected.
Atlanta, January 29. —The Senate to
day acted on the case of contested elec
tion in the Ninth Senatorial District
between Senator Perry, sitting member,
and Colley, the contestant. The Com
mittee on Elections, Harris Chairman,
recommended that Perry be seated.—

mittee :
Resolved, That the Treasurer be in
structed to withhold payment of bonds
and coupons sent forth and report, the
same being in the descriptive list of
past due bonds outstanding, appendix
to table F, until otherwise directed by
the General Assembly.
These are bonds Bullock said were
paid and supposed to have been hypo
thecated by Clews.
The Governor sent in a message to
day recommending a plan of unifica
tion of State Colleges, but requests if
the Legislature is not prepared to ap-‘
.prove the plan they will retain the
'committee for another year.
The following bills were introduced
in the Senate:
By Mr. Black —To amend the act
modifying the law relative to the Geor
gia State Lottery.

cil.
A bill to provide for the appointment
of Public Printer was tabled.
A bill to prescribe the power of Or
dinaries and other county officers to
levy the county tax is the special order
for Monday.
lu the House, the discussion of the
bill to repeal the law exempting cotton
and woolen manufactures was resumed.
Graham, of Dade, offered a substitute
providing that the same apply to iron
manufactures.
Lawton offered an amendment, pro
vided the act does not affect capital in
vested or money bona lide subscribed
since passage of the act, exempting
manufactures. This amendment was
favored in speeches by Lawton, Black,
Speer, Stallings, Peeples, Turner of
Brooks, and Tumlin, and opposed by
Baker, Turnbull, Hoge, and Graham
of Dade. The amendment was adopt
ed by yeas, 104 ; nays, 41.
The bill, as amended, was supported
in speeches by Messrs. Hoge, Stallings,
Graham, of Dade ; Peeples, Speer and
Tumlin, and opposed by Messrs. Black,
Lawton and Turner, of Brooks. The bill
passed by a vote of—yeas, 116 ; nays.
35. Mr. Baker was opposed ‘to the
amendment, but the friends of the bill
gave notice to reconsider. Augusta,
Savannah, Columbus and two-thirds of
Atlanta voted nay.
In the tax act, the Finance Commit
tee recommend that the assessment of
the State tax b e four-tenths of one per
cent., and on no pretext be increased.
In the appropriation act, it is pro
poted to reduce the salaries of some of
the State House clerks and clerks of
the Legislature. H.

WASHINGTON.
Georgia Negroes Want to Go to Libe
ria—Republican Repulse on the
Civil Rights Bill.
Washington, January 29.—The Com
mittee of Ways and Means agreed upon
the bill to reimburse Brannin, Summers
& Cos., for overcharges on imported
sugars, some time ago.
In the Senate, Frelinghuysen pre
sented a memorial from citizens of
Georgia, asking appropriation by Con
gress to aid the colored people who
wish to emigrate to Liberia. Referred
to the Committee on Appropriations.
The Republicans caucased this morn
iag over Louisiana. No result. They
will meet again this afternoon. The
caucas was discordant.
The House adjourned by a small ma
jority. The Republicans yielded.
The Railroad Committee of the Sen
ate had no quorum. It meets Monday,
when it is expected it will report favor
ably on Scott’s road.
The House adjourned, on motion of
Ward (Republican), of Illinois. Nine
teen Republicans joined the Demo
crats. This result was obtained by the
fear that the Democrats would demand
the reading of the Journal, which, as it
stands, would consume twelve hours.
Under the new rule proposed, a vote
may be reached on Wednesday on the
Civil Rights bill. The Democrats claim
that they have not exhausted their
tactics for a delay.
It may be stated there is no inten
sion to pass the bill with the exclusion
of the mixed schools and cemetery
clause, which would defeat it in the
Senate. The bill is dead for the ses
sion.
Senate— The voluminous report of
the Secretary of War, upon various in
ternal water routes, was referred to
the Committee ou Transportation.
The citizens of Pittsburg petition for
an appropriation for the improvement
of the Ohio river, and subsidies for the
Northern and Southern Pacific Rail
roads.
Mr. Conkling and Gen. Gordon spoke
on Louisiana affairs.
The Navy Department Again set on
Fire—About the Caucus on Louis
iana.
Washington, January 29.—Another
incendiary fire in the Navy Depart
ment was extinguished without loss,
except of several logs. ThiMe have
been three attempts to burn the Navy
Department this week. There is much
apprehension, as none of the buildings
where the records are kept except the
Post Office, Patent Office, Treasury,
and Capitol are fire pi oof. Major
Richards, Chief of Police, and Admiral
Reynolds are in consultation over the
matter to-night.
The caucus failed to meet this even
ing ou account of the prolonged ses
sion of the Senate. The Star says of
this morning’s caucus: “ The discus
sion developed a lack of harmony
among the Senators as to the course
which should be pursued relative to
the present State government of Lou
isiana, and it may now be predicted
with tolerable certainty that a majori
ty will not be obtained irrthe Senate
to recognize said government as the
legal government of the State.
The Navy Department is again on
fire.
Wadleigh, member of the Committee
on Elections and Privileges, has re
turned. He will vote with the minori
ty, making a tie. Carpenter will vote
with the minority, so there will be two
reports, the majority being against the
indirect acknowledgement of Kellogg
aad seating Pinchback.
The Treasury Department has re
newed the contract with the parties
who took the last subscription to the
five per cent. loan. They take twenty
five millions, with the option of six
months for the remainder.
The theory is entertained by the de
tectives and others, that the parties
who have been persistently attempting
to fire the Navy Department, are per
sons interested in the destruction of
valuable records. No arrests yet.

tienck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic,
and Mandrake Fills.
THESE DESERVEDLY CELEBRATED
and 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. Tho 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 apparently desperate
ones-d>y 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. Sehenck 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 b 7 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.
Sehenck, unless patients wish their lungs ex
amined, and for this purpose he is profes
sionally at his principal office, corner of

A CARGO OF TEA generally passes
through the hands of live 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 lieceiver’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 price 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.
One Dollai* Will Buy
Two pound i of good Green or Black Tea,
four and a half pounds of good Rio Coffee,
