THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
SUNDAY, JANUARY 31, 1875. _
HON. BEN HILL.
The Athens Watchman gave the ar
dent supporters of Mr. Hill, outside
the 9th District, some pretty hard rubs,
charging them, in point of fact, with
doing that distinguished gentleman a
deadly, though unintentional, injury.
And now comes the Atlanta Common
wealth, which says “the move is a great
one, and will be sanctioned by almost
every true Georgian outside of the
Ninth District; but we fear, from a
canvass of the Representatives from
that district, that the action will not be
ratified by the people, and that if Mr.
Hill should run as the Democratic
nominee there will be such a formida
ble opposition that an independent
candidate would be elected.”
The man selected by the Common
wealth as Jack the Giant-Killek is
Hon. W. P. Price, who is alluded to as
“ one of the best cross-roads manipu
lators in the State.” That Mr. Hill
should be beaten at all i3 truly la
mentable ; but it would be gall and
wormwood to his friends outside of
the 9th District that he should suffer*
defeat from “ a cross-roads manipula
tor.” There are some things which
add a pang to death itself, and this is
one of them.
The Commonwealth continues in this
fashion: V
" The success of Dr. Felton iu
the Seventh has inspired him [Price]
with the hope of a similar good for
tune ; and unless a man is put out
that can command the united support
of the Democracy, he will certainly be
a candidate, with the chances all iu his
favor.
“ Much as we would like to see Mr.
Hill in Congress, we cannot afford to
see the Ninth District Feltonized for
the poor chance of putting him there.
“ Therefore, unless the people of the
Ninth can be united and harmonized
upon him, it would be exceedingly un
fortunate for him to make the racer
\v ith the lights before us, we are sorry
to make the confession that there is no
possible chance for him to unite the
people, and his candidacy will certainly
result in the election of an independent
candidate.”
If Dr. Felton is to be judged by his
public utterances he is quite as good a
Democrat as Mr. Hill. Be this as it
may, if the Commonwealth can be trust
ed in this statement of affairs, the case
stands thus : Hon. Ben Hill is the
choice of a good many outsiders for
Congress, but unhappily lacks the
thorough confidence and support of the
District for which alone he can, at pres
ent, stand.
THE-TEST OF DEMOCRACY.
Taking us to task for certain views
expressed concerning ex-President
Johnson, the Chronicle and Sentinel
says :
It is rather late in the day to question
the Democracy of a man who, in the Demo
cratic National Convention of 1863, re
ceived the vote of every Southern State
but one as a candidate for President of the
United States. Let us give Andy even jus
tice, if no more.
We have attempted to give Andy
justice by balancing his good and evil
qualities, and hoping for the best while
dreading the worst. Our esteemed
contemporary tests Democracy by the
vote of Democratic conventions.
If such be the true test of Demo
cratic principles, what shall be said of
the Baltimore convention, which not
only swallowed the Cincinnati platform
but accepted for a standard-bearer the
man who, in 1871, just before his nomi
nation, thus put upon record his idea
of Democracy and the success of the
Democratic party:
It (the Democratic party) would come
into power with the chagrin, the wrath, the
mortification of ten bitter years to impel
and guide its steps. It would devote itself
to taking off or reducing tax after tax until
the Treasury was deprived of the means of
paying interest on the national debt, and
would hail the tidings of national bank
ruptcy with unalloyed gladness and con
cealed exultation. Whatever chastisement
may be deserved by our natioual sins, we
must hope that this disgrace and hu
miliation will be spared us. The Dem
ocratic party of to-day is simply
the rebellion seeking to achieve its
essential purposes within and through
the Union. A victory which does not
enable it to put Its feet on the necks of
the black race seems to the bulk of its ad
herents not worth having. Its heart is
just; where itfwas when it regarded slavery
anu constitution as two names for one
thing. It hales the generals who led the Union
armies to victory, and rarely misses a chance
to disparage them. It clings to that exag
gerated notion of State rights which makes
them the shield of all manner of wrongs
and abuses. It takes council of its hates
even more than of its aspirations, and will
be satisfied with no triumphs that do not rt
sult in the expulsion of all active, earnest Re
publicans from the South.
God help Democratic principles if
they are to be tested by the blunders
of recent conventions! If that indeed
be the absolute test, Democracy simply
means an organization which is willing
to accept any monstrosity in the des
perate attempt to get into power. We
are not willing to have the party judged
by any such tests.
W e are as willing as anybody to do
Andrew Johnson justice; but we can
not get up any special enthusiasm over
his election, the more so as the chief
point of Radical consolation and re
joicing is that he defeated men who
had been true to the South, in the day
of her agony, when he had been false.
Our precise meaning can be gathered
from the subjoined extracts :
{St. Louis Globe (Rep.)
We have no tears to shed over the elec
tion of andi Johnson in Tennessee, He
was the best of the lot, the only one among
the candidates who had opposed secession
and rebellion, and the only one whose triumph
would not have been claimed as a victory for
the Rebel element. He will have his uses as
a Senator, too, and he will be perfectly
harmless, because he will be in the mi
nority.
[Chicago Tribune (Rep.)
The election of Andrew Johnson to the
United States Senate by the Legislature of
Tennessee ought not to be unwelcome to
Republicans at the North. Since it was a
foregone conclusion that a Democrat
should be chosen, there were many rea
sons for wishing success to Johnson. Of
all the candidates before the Legislature,
he was the only pronounced Union man.
He has always denied the right of seces
sion, and combatted the pernicious theory
of State Soveeignty; and when an open
issue is forced between the Democrats and
Republicans on the fundamental ideas of
the two parties, he will be found doing
good work for the Nationalist party. The
election of any other one of the candidates
would have been a great misfortune; all of
them, with the exception of Johnson, sym
patsized with the Confederate cause, and
this was the chief claim to distinction that
his most prominent rivals possessed.
If it be true that the assertion of the
doctrine of State Sovereignty is the
only hope for this country, what par
ticular reason has any Southern man
to exult over the election of the man
who hung Mrs. Surratt, imprisoned
Jefferson Davis, refused to accept
Sherman’s treaty of peace with Gen.
Johnston, disfranchised every man in
the South who had a little property,
and wouldJiave landed Robert E. Lee
in a felon’s cell, but for the stubborn
and honorable resistance of General
Grant ?
Asa majority of the Republican and
Democratic papers are satisfied with
Mr. Johnson’s triumph, so be it. It is
a curious love feast, and as such we
let it go for what it is worth.
THE BANDITTI.
We learn that the Louisiana Conser
vatives are preparing evidence to show
“ that two-thirds of the negroes killed
in Louisiana have been killed by ne
groes, and the majority of the remain
der were caught by white men in the
commission of some crime, such as
arson, burglary, rape, &c., when killed.
The official records of different par
ishes will be brought in as evidence in
support of these statements.”
The editor of the Montgomery Ad
vertiser, who has a special gift for sta
tistics, sums up the criminal record of
his city as follows :
There are 16,003 persons iu the corporate
limits of Montgomery, of whom about
7,300 are negroes. The annual report of
the Chief of Police to the City Council of
Montgomery for the year ending Decem
ber 31, 1871, shows that 2,538 were arrested
for various offenses. Of these, 775 were
whites, and 1,763 were negroes. Of the
whites, 13 were lemales; of the blacks, 441
were females. Eleven hundred and sixty
four of these arrests were for disorderly
conduct and drunkenness; 275 for A. and
B. Seven persons were arrested for rape,
309 for larceny, 1 for murder, 17 for assault
with intent to kill, 24 for burglary and 3
for highway robbery, all of whom, with
four or five exceptions, were blacks.

ATLANTA.
Legislative Proceedings—The “ Wid
ow and Orphan ” to be Protected.
Atlanta, Ga., January 30th, 1875.
No session in the Senate.
In the House, Baker moved the re
considering of the bill to repeal the act
exempting manufacturers from taxa
tion, which was lost.
The tax and appropriation acts were
made the special order for Tuesday
next.
The following bills passed the House:
To regulate granting liquor licenses in
Washington county ; to limit and de
fine the jurisdiction of the County
Court of Richmond ; to incorporate the
Augusta Savings Institution ; to amend
the act regulating the mode of granting
liquor licenses in Richmond county ; to
prohibit the sale of liquors in Putnam
county, outside of Eatonton, except
with the consent of five nearest free
holders.
The bill to exempt S2OO worth of
furniture from taxation provoked con
siderable debate. The Finance Com
mittee recommend it do not pass. The
report was supported in speeches by
Anderson, of Cobb, and Warner, of
Warren, and opposed by Allred, Mc-
Kinley, Hamilton and Peeples. Du
ring the debate the House adjourned.
If the bill parses it will be a loss of
$85,000 revenue, and it now seems the
cry of “ widow and orphan ” will carry
the day.
The resolution of McKinley, author
izing the Governor to purchase fifty
bound volumes of the Southern Re
corder newspaper, was agreed to.

debate, the Speaker decided that the

Cle k to read tie Journal.
The Senate was not in session.
The House, after four hours’ reading
of the Journal, upon motion of Butler,
adjourned.
The vote in the caucus yesterday was
18 to 8 in favor of seating Pinchback.

iVenck’a Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic,
and Mandrake Pills.
THESE DESERVEDLY CELEBRATED
and popular medicines have effected a revo
nioninthe 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 greafnumber
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.
Schenek’s preparations with the samo re
markable success.
Full directions accompany each, making ii
not absolutely necessary to personally see Dr.
Schenck, unless patients wish their lungs ex
amined, and for this purpose he is profes
sionally at hie 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
