THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2,1875.
HOME MANUFACTURES.
Yv hile the General Assembly of Geor
gia are bringing the plighted faith of
the State into disrepute, and making
this commonwealth more and more
odious to the commercial world, the
Solons of the Virginia Legislature con
template a similar folly. By their mis
management of affairs, the Old Domin
ion has become almost, if not quite,
bankrupt, and if Georgia has done bet
ter than that, it is a providence which
may not last, if the present course of
repudiation be continued. The Rich
mond Enquirer puts the case squarely
thus:
It is a fatal error to levy burdensome
taxes upon any productive calling. In
deed, it would be far better to offer a
premium than to lovy a tax. In the
first place, it not only has a tendency
to decrease production because it les
sens consumption and raises prices,
but it prevents our manufacturers from
carrying their trade abroad and com
peting with commodities manufactured
in States where no tax is laid, and
where the cost of production is not so
great. For instance, suppose we levy
a tax upon any article of goods manu
factured at home or upon the capital
invested therein, while the same article
is made in Pennsylvania or New Eng
land without either the capital or the
material being taxed, cannot the
manufacturers of those States bring
their goods into Virginia and undersell
our own manufacturers, even though
we should pass a law levying an equal
tax upon articles brought into the
State for sale ? Now, as we are not al
lowed to discriminate directly against
the products of any other State, yet
may we not favor our own people by
failing to tax their manufactured goods
or the capital invested ? We believe
that a law exempting capital invested
in certain manufactures in this State
for a limited number of years would be
productive of far more good to Vir
ginia than any other measure the
Legislature could devise or adopt.—
It would be a substantial method
of encouraging the establishment
of home manufactures, for all the sur
plus capital in the State would not only
be invested in such enterprises, but it
would attract millions from abroad,
and very soon we should not only be
doing all our own manufacturing, but
we would be the great manufacturing
State of this section. But, on the con
trary, attempt to levy a tax upon the
capital invested in these industries, and
you at once drive out not only those
engaged in the work, but prevent oth
ers from undertaking enterprises of so
desperate a character.
V r e know of gentlemen who contem
plate investing largely in these works,
but who will be compelled to give up
the idea if the policy of taxing their
capital should prevail. True, Virginia
must pay her debt, but she must also
live ; and the problem for her to solve
is, “ How shall we do both?” This is
the question for our legislators to de
termine. We must encourage every
thing that has a tendency to further
our growth and prosperity ; we must
deal fairly by all men—by the farmer,
the merchant and the manufacturer—
and not place a heavier burden
upon the one than upon the
other ; and, if possibly, we must
do something to encourage each, and
this “something” is for us to discover.
In manufactures it is easily to be seen
that a premium of eome kind is needed.
The general government offers it in the
shape of a protective tariff, but this is
a premium only to the manufacturing
districts of the North; and what we
want is protection against them, and
the only way open is the means we
have pointed out. Exemption for a
number of years from taxation would
build up every city in Virginia, and
linp every mountain stream with manu
factories, and then the way to pay the
debt would be open and plain to us all.
Nor would it place an extra burden
upon any other industry. The impet
us it would give to trade and business,
and the increase in production that it
would bring, would amply compen
sate both the farmer and the mer
chant, each of whom could engage in
manufacturing also, and thereby en
hance his property. We may be mis
taken, but we think that in a very
short time the whole State would begin
to feel the benefits to be derived from
this quickening of her pulse, and all
would acknowlede the wisdom of the
measure. Taxing our manufactures in
their infancy is death to them, and
their destruction will be a blight upon
the hopes of the State from which it
will never recover. We speak earnestly
upon this subject, because we know
that it is of vital importance to the
whole future of Virginia. We must
become a community of workers, and
the work of our hands must be pro
tected by every guard the law can
throw around it, or our labor will be
lost.
Substitute the word “Georgia” for
“Yirginia” in the above extract, and
the argument applies equally well to
the General Assembly now in session
at Atlanta.
A young actress who had played suc
cessfully in the lesser theatres of Paris
applied for an engagement at one of
the first-class houses. The manager
who was in want of pretty girls, was
about to accept of her services, when
she suddenly exclaimed, “You must
also engage my mother in the ward
robe department,” “Oh,” said the
manager, plaintively, “is that abso
lutely necessary?” “Of course.” said
the pretty actress ; “she is the only one
in all Paris who knows how to throw
me my bouquets in the right way.”
That settled the question, and the ac
tress and her mother were made
happy.
And now Alexis committed another
indiscretion by falling in love with
Croizette, the French actress. He is
not fit to be trusted ashore, and is sent
to Australia.
Paris has set the examole to every
city in the world by condemning Er
nest Dermenon, Inspector of Police to
five years’ imprisonment for being an
accomplice of pickpockets.
A nobby youngster of 66 summers
applied, the other day, to Clerk Quig
ley, of Dubuque, for license to marry
the girl of his choice, she being of law
ful age, having hung up her stockings
for seventy-two Christmasses.

GORDON.
Synopsis of his Reply to Conkling.
Mr. Gordon, of Georgia, referred to
the speech he made a few days ago,
and said he had not made any attack
on the President. In that speech he
expressed his confidence that the bitter
sentiment which characterized this de
bate found no response with the Nor
thern people. Such was his opinion,
notwithstanding the false charges made
on this floor against him. Since the
surrender of the Confederate army no
man ever heard him utter any senti
ments against the Federal Government.
He referred to the arguments of Messrs.
Conkling, Morton ; and others, and con
tended that Tigers, the Clerk of the
Louisiana Legislature, holding over,
had no right to call the roll, and he (lid
not think any people would sustain the
Senate in any such proceedings. The
honorable Senator from New York (Mr.
Conkling) had said the times change
and so did the people. He (Gordon)
thought so, and he said it with no disre
spect, but the majority in this body
changed its action according to its
own political proclivities. He then
referred to the action of the Alabama
Legislature which elected Spencer,
stating that it did not meet at the time
nor the place required by the constitu
tion of Alabama, yet the majority in
this Senate admitted Spencer to his
seat. Mr. Gordon then spoke of the
feeling in the South, and especially in
his own State, and denied that there
was any animosity existing between
those of different political sentiments.
He desired to lay before the Senate the
words of a gallant soldier, who, while
the war lasted, ever had his sword
gleaming in the front of battle, but
who, when the war ended, laid his
sword upon the altar of civil law.
He referred to Major General W.
S. Hancock, and read from an
order of Hancock issued while that
officer was In command at New Or
leans in 1867. Resuming his argument
he said those words ought to be stamp
ed upon the records of this land, as
they are to-day stamped upon the
hearts of the people of Louisiana. The
Senator from New York had not touch
ed upon the question as to whether the
law authorized the invasion of Louisi
ana. Neither had other Senators on
that side of the chamber. When asked
to point out the law, their response had
been murder, outrage. That had been
the sum and substance of all the
speeches made upon the other side.
What was the use of continually hurl
ing in his (Gordon’s) teeth and the
teeth of his people, that they were
Rebels. They differed in opinion with
the people of the North, an opinion
honestly entertained. Perhaps if he
had lived North, he might have been
in the Northern army. The people
of the North thought those of
the South were wrong, but that
was no reason why the sections should
be quarrelling forever. He referred to
the testimony offered before the com
mittee in the other House of Congress
recently, in which a witness said that
he (Gordon), in a speech in Alabama,
had advised the Democrats to carry
the election by force. To show how
much truth there was in that state
ment, he (Gordon) would say he had
not made a political speech in Alabama
in five years, and at the time he was
charged by witnesses with making this
speech, he was 200 miles away from the
place in another He sent to the
Clerk’s desk and had read telegrams
from W. C. Morrill, of Maine, who was
formerly agent of the Freedman’s Bu
reau in Georgia, and now a resident of
that State, to the effect that there was
no oppression of blacks by whites, and
also had read a telegram from the
Governor of the State in respect to
educational privileges of the blacks, to
the effect that there was no differ
ence between whites and blacks under
the State system, though whites paid
taxes upon 8266,000,000, and the blacks
paid taxes only upon 86,000,000, and
that over 2,000 colored children attend
ed public schools last year. Numerous
other telegrams and letters were also
read by request of Mr. Gordon, all
tending to show the amicable relations
between the races, and resuming his
argument, he said : Gen. Grant once
made a tour through the South, and
reported thereon, but he, too, was
charged with having whitewashed tho
Southern people. He had not been in
the South since, and the only informa
tion he had from there was from those
whp, for nine long years, had slander
ed the people he (Gordon) represented.
He next had read a telegram from the
Governor of Georgia as to the enforce
ment of law in that State under Demo
cratic rule, and its enforcement under
Bullock’s (Republican) rule, showing
that the present Governor had par
doned two white men who had
been convicted of murder and com
muted the death sentence of four,
two of whom were white and two
colored ; of persons executed, ten were
negroes and six whites ; while under
Bullock’s government, forty-six per
sons were pr.Tdoned for the crime of
murder, eighteen had their sentences
commuted and two were executed.—
The records under Bullock’s govern
ment do not specify color ; whole num
ber pardons issued by Bullock, 444, to
47 issued by the present Governor,
and a majority of those pardoned by
the present Governor were blacks.—
Mr. Gordon then asked, “Where is
Bullock now? 1 * A refugee from jus
tice in Canada. He then spoke of Fos
ter Blodgett, and said when he had
charge of the railroad in Georgia,
which now paid 8300,000 annually to
the State, it did not pay a cent, and be
sides, he robbed it of half a million
dollars. Mr. Gordon then asked,
“Where is Blodgett now?” Safe in
the province of South Carolina. The
road which he had so robbed, was now
run by a Senator who occupied a seat
on the other side of this chamber.
Mr. Sprague—Who is the Senator?
Mr. Gordon replied he would rather
not name him ; he was an honorable
man, and paid money to the State
promptly ; he belonged to a company
who managed the road. He next re
ferred to crimes committed in the South
by negroes.
Mr. Pease, of Mississippi, rose to ask
a question, but Mr. Gordon refused to
yield, saying : “ Excuse me ; you have
had nearly a week to pour out the vials
of your wrath upon my people, and I
hope I will have an hour to reply.”
In conclusion, Mr. Gordon appealed
from the bar of the Senate to the bar
of public opinion, and said he felt con
fident that the appeal would not be in
vain. All that he asked was, “Do unto
others as you would have others do
unto you.”

[Wash'ngton Letter to Pittsburg Leader.
An Incident in Chamberlain’s Wash
ington Club House.
To switch off from politics may per
haps be an agreeable change. The sub
ject now on deck is an incident that oc
curred it John Chamberlain’s club
house (gambling hell), the other eve
ning. And, by the way, this house is
doing a smashing business. Money by
the thousands changes hands every
night. A prominent politician, Gen.
lette table, the other evening, without
receiving any return. I know one
promising young Congressman who is
perfectly infatuated with roulette. He
loses all his salary there, and besides
as much as he can borrow. If the fool
killer could only visit Chamberlain’s
some night he would find a rich harvest.
But to the incident. There is a young
Polish Jew about town, a chevalier d'
Industrie by profession. He is one of
tbe most frightful bores that ever
walked his blighting presence upon
this green earth. He comes upon you
with all the hideousness of a night
mare, and weighs down upon you with
remorseless egotism and an utter ab
sence of fact that would warrant his
murder, if an intelligent enough jury
could afterward be found to appreciate
and try the case. This individual af
fects the deeply mysterious about him
self, and once, when very drunk, burst
into bitter tears as he confessed him
self tbe long lost and last heir of the
royal family of Poland. Well, I shall
call him Poland for the purposes of
this incident.
Poland is a well known nuisance in
Washington. He fastens himself upon
the acquaintance of well known men,
and affects dn int macy that must
tempt them at times “to kind o’ lift
him a piece with their boots.” But the
average lawful dignity of great men
has hitherto prevented any dire catas
trophe to this tuft-hunting bore.
The other night Poland was up at
Chamb6irlain’3 ; it is a favorite resort
of his. Here he finds plenty of fine
liquors, cigars, lunches, and a good
supper. He does justice to them all, I
assure you. Upon this night Poland
had addled his head with champagne,
until he was capable of accomplishing
unbeard of feats of intimacy with great
men. He wandered about boasting to
every one he knew of the many great
men of Washington who reposed on
the bosom of his friendship whenever
they were weary.
Suddenly there was heard a cry of
fighting in one of the rear parlors.
Gen. Blank, a wealthy man, well known
in social circles here, was engaged in a
fierce altercation with one of the pro
prietors. He had just lost 85,000 at
roulette, and as he was very drunk, he
had become fighting mad about his
loss. He is a very powerful man, and
he lunged about in a fearful manner.
Just previous to this brawl Poland had
been boasting of his intimacy with Gen.
Blank. *.
“Come,” said one of his listeners,
“ there is your friend in trouble. You
had better get him home some way.”
Poland saw a chance to make capi
tal for himself. and as Gen. Blank was
very drunk, he thought he might have
an easy task of it.
He went boldly up to tho General,
and putting his arm around him pro
tectingly, said : “ Come home with me,
General; you have been here long
enough.”
The General, for reply, raised up a
hand the size and weight of a ham, and
brought it down with a resounding slap
upon Poland’s jaws, nearly loosening
every tooth in his head. The slap was
as loud as the report of a pistol.
Poland is a terrible man to contem
plate when in wrath. His faculties are
all paralyzed but one. A haughty glare
in his eyes alone remains. No one can
slap Poland in the face and feel after
ward an immunity from this glare. He
rested this look several moments upon
the General, but he was too much occu
pied with his brawl to pay any atten
tion to the soul-devastating "lock of
Poland.
Poland gazed at him five minutes, and
then turning to a gentleman standing
by said : *• Did you see my friend striko
me ? Ho its very drunk.”
The gentleman said : “ ; no; I was
out on the street at the time,, several
blocks away, but I heard him strike
you.”
“ What would you do about it,” said
Poland.
“ Why, I would write a note to tho
General, saying briefly and coldly, that
If he should slap me like that again
and I should find it out, that I should
make him prove it.”
Poland became lostjn the contempla
tion of this, but he came out of his
study and lost his chagrin at the cheer
ful notes of “ supper is ready, gentle
men,”
