CHE CONSTITUTIONALIST
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1875.
ORATORY.
There is little or no attempt at
ilowery speech-making in the British
Parliament. The man who ventures
t hat sort of extravagant rhodomontade
would either speak to empty benches
or else be hooted down. The reason
assigned for this is a plausible, if not a
good one. It is this : that members of
Parliament come together not for
! hapsodical and sophomorical display,
but for business ; and that the lan
guage of business is not such as a
Fourth of July orator would employ.
There is much excellent sense in this
-view ; and a vast deal of money would
be saved States and countries if the lan
guage of legislators was of a practical
character. The American Congress has
grown more and more into the habit of
this English idea, and while a witty
speech from Sam Cox or Wm. Walter
Phelps is occasionally listened to eager
ly, there would beau instant adjourn
ment to Downing’s restaurant, on the
part of the majority, if some of the
aspiring orators of the day were to
essay their flights of fancy and give an
airing to those much-battered and
sadly abused metaphors which univer
sity squabs are so enamored of. Just
now, the person who is the chief victim
of ridicule is the new Missouri Senator,
Gen. Cockrell. He is especially taken
to task for the following extract from
a recent speech:
When the roar of the last hostile gun
died away, with more than the heroism of
the Roman Cubitus, we filled that chasm
with all our hopes for the establishment of
a separate nationality, and bowed in recog
nition of oui allegiance to the Federal
Union and our love to our common coun
try. We besprinkled it with tears, and im
mediately there sprung up, as if by the
hand of magic, beautiful perennial flowers
f the richest and sweetest fragrance.which
wafted love and peace, and friendship and
good will Northward and Southward, and
Eastward and Westward, and we planted
ourselves in the midst, with the olive
branch of peace extended to those who had
differed with us during the war, and we
proclaimed peace, friendship and love, and
that voice has reverberated throughout
the length and breadth of our entire land,
and Ave occupy that position to-day.
None of the critics have found fault
with the sentiments expressed by Gen.
Cockrell, but they indulge the hope
that he may find it convenient to aban
don or tone down the style embodied
in the above extract when he gets into
the Senate.
The St. Louis Republican, whose
English style is a model of force, ele
gance and propriety, thus speaks on
this theme:
The fact is that, .to a man gifted with flu
ency in the use of words, no intellectual
labor is so easy as that of piling up tropes
and metaphors, constructed of smooth and
euphonious parts of speech. In former
times, when newspapers were merely the
channels through which the speeches of
public men reached the people, and when
one speech from an orator of national
prominence would furnish the nation with
reading matter for a fortnight, Great Co
lumbian oratory saAv its best days. We
still admire the wonderful periods of Web
ster, and the interminable sentences of
Choate are alluded to as “ eloquent.” And
yet if Webster were alive to-day and Avere
to rise as he used to, into empyrean rheto
ric, he would be laughed at and nothing
more. The newspaper of to-day did not
nop with wresting from our public men
the control of the public thought which
they once enjoyed, out it has gone still
further and supplanted eA-en the style of
utterance which avos formerly in vogue.
The decline of speeches and the growth
of the newspaper editorial in popularity
obviously necessitated a Radical change in
rhetorical style, because the limits of a
newspaper column, beyond which an edito
rial seldom extends, are too narrow to ad
mit of any great display of fine writing in
the shape of elaborate metaphors and soun
mg similes. The reading public has now
become so aecestomed to the plain, straight
forward rhetoric of the average newspaper
article, that the grand and lofty phraseo
logy of old-fashioned oratory strikes them
as simply ridiculous. This fact our most
observant and sagacious public men
are not slow to discover, and a very
slight examination of the speeches
of our most effective orators, as Schubz,
Thurman, Morton, Charles Francis
Adams, Senator BA yard, Beck, DAwes,
Hendricks and others will show that they
have altogether abandons the ancient
style of grandiloquence and adopted the
matter-of-fact rhetoric made fashionable
by iho example of journalism, leaving it to
young attorneys with intellects and mus
taches that require further maturing to
soar the American eagle and air the poly
sy abic vocabulary. We trust the hint
mi lost - Whoey er has ideas, let
him tell them in plain English-the plainer
the better-arid whoever has no ideas let
him not advertise his lack of them by offer
a^ I sutetßute meta * > k° r * mean * n 8T nothing,
There is a deal of capital advice in
the suggestions of our Missouri con
temporary. Whether it has been for
good or evil that the oratory of the
past—the Great Columbian oratory—
has had its day, we will not pretend to
decide. But the fact of its having vir
tually perished as the vehicle of mod
ern thought, indeliberative assemblies
of the higher class, seems pretty well
established. It appears, then, to be
the part of prudence and wisdom for
those of our young and aspiring poli
ticians, in and out of office, to drop
the ground and lofty flights so many
o them employ, and cultivate a sys
em of oratory Avhich embodies in plain
English a neat, cameo-like thought,
practical, sensible and to the point..
Anj other course will certainly land
them, in the long run, where the burnt
sticks of flaming sky-rockets are ac
customed to descend. They may shoot
upward for awhile, but a fizzle is the
inevitable end of all theirhopes.
A large number of delegates to the
National Grange, which meets in
Charleston, have arrived in that city
A NUT TO CRACK.
The Jeffersonian Democrat, a staunch
Northern paper, which has been always
faithful among the faithless, prints, in a
late issue, the following significant ar
ticle :
Gov. AiLEN went to the marrow of the
issue involved in the attack upon the sov
ereignty of Louisiana, when he said, in his
special message: . “If there is law war
ranting the settling of contested election
cases in State Legislatures by the use of
Federal troops, then, in my judgment, you
should request its immediate repeal. If
there is no law for it, then your indignant
protest should be beard at Washington, in
sisting upon such action by Congress as
will prevent, in the future, such flagrant
outrages against civil liberty.” Grant says
that the Fifteenth Amendment and its ap
propriate legislation does “ warrant ” just
such “ outrages against civil liberty.” And
Gov. Tilden was goose enough, in his in
augural message, to pretend that that
amendment must stand forever!
Commenting upon the above, the
New York Day Book, an out-and-out
Democratic paper, proposing to give
oven the Devil his due, thus speaks :
Well, Grant is right in his assertion. To
force negroes into the status of white men
in Louisiana, he must force the latter into
subjection to the power that thus carries
out the “Fifteenth Amendment.” If Mr.
Tilden were President, and in good faith
carried out the “Fifteenth Amendment,”
or the “ appropriate” legislation needed to
enforce it, he must do what Grant strives
to do now. Of course this does not excuse
Grant, or any other decent white man, for
attempting a crime so damnable and irre
deemable as the degradation of his race to
“equality” Avith negroes, Ac., but those
U'ho assent to the so-called amendments have
no right to say a icord against the monster.
It seems, therefore, there are two
kinds of Democracy ; the one virtually
accepting the Republican Congression
al usurpation as embodied in the in
famous amendments ; and the other,
Avhich tolerates the villainy, but re
fuses to recognize it as final and never
to be questioned or repealed. Of the
first kind of Democracy, the Day Book
thinks the less the members of it say
against Grant the better for their con
sistency.
A. J—The New Orleans Times paints
a terrible picture of the sufferings of
the South in 1865, and fastening the
chief responsibility upon Andrew John
son, Avhile acquitting him of intentional
wrong, rather sadly says:
The man who, through lack of sagacity,
developed this terrible history of misap
prehension, acrimony and is about
to return to power. Let us hope that the
sufferings, which through no fault of our
own we have undergone, will prove not
only a warning to him, but to all who di
rect the policy of the Government, and
that the clouds of suspicion and doubt
once removed, the country, through all
time, will be permitted to enjoy the day
light of understanding, a true appreciation
of each other’s motives, aud a common
concern in each other’s welfare.
Amen 1 But it is hard to teach an old
horse new tricks.
For President.— The Cincinnati Com
mercial, a sheet so vile that a Bishop
in Ohio had to forbid his parishoners
under pain of deadly sin from reading
it, and which has no more political
principle than a baboon, urges the
Democracy to fix upon Andrew John
son for their next Presidential nomina
tion.
“ Federal.” —The Nashville Union
and American informs the Republicans
that it will agree to drop “ Federal ” if
they drop those much more objection
able novelties, “ National ” and “ Cen
tral.”
Gordon.— ln his reply to Senator
Conkling, Gen. Gordon took pains to
declare that he made no attack upon
the President. Gordon is on the spot,
and sees that the weak point in the
enemy's line is not Grant but Congress.
Will he be accused of slipping this idea
in “ edgeAvays ?”
Warmoth. — In the quarrels of news
papers now going on at New Orleans it
has apparently come to light that the
biggest finger in the journalistic pie
was that of Henry Clay Warmoth.

and fraud, and asking that he be re
cognized by Congress and such action
taken as to protect constitutional gov
ernment in that State. Referred to the
Committee on Privileges and Elec
tions.
After nearly three hours spent in
fruitless efforts to have the rules sus
pended and the new rule passed, a
motion was at last carried by a ma
jority of one to suspend the rules and
allow the Committee on Rules to re
port now.
Garfield thereupon reported from the
Committee on Rules anew rule pro
hibiting dilatory motions.
The House is now considering it.

which the Speaker took part,, as a ,
member of the House, anew rule was '
adopted— l7l to 85 —which forbids dil
atory motions on any question, except I
propositions to appropriate the money, j
credit, or other property of the United
States, but provides that the preA T ious
question shall not be seconded on the
first day that a bill is under consider
ation, except by a two-thirds vote.
At the close of the proceedings, Ran
dall, of Pennsylvania, and Cox, of New
York, resigned as members of the Com
mittee on Rules.

earliest opportunity.
Fenton, of New York, from the Com
mittee on Finance, reported unfavora
bly on various resolutions of the North
Carolina Legislature for the repeal or
modification of Internal Revenue laws ;
in favor of the repeal of the tax on to

such legislation, to report a bill to con
fer such powers. Agreed to.

j laws of any State.
Windom, of Minnesota, presented the
preamble and resolution agreed upon

The House bill to authorize the
Seneca Nation (of New York) Indians
to lease lands within the Cattaraugas

A Lively Spat in the House.
There Avas great excitement in the
House to-day upon the Speaker re
marking, in response to a point of or
der made in a speech by J. J. Cox, that
he (Cox) was familiar enough with the
rules to know that his speech was
made for dramatic effect. Cox’s re
marks were that he had been on the
Committee on Rules for years, and he
never knew such an infringement as
that now contemplated. He offered his
resignation as a member of that com
mittee.
At this point the Speaker made the
offensive remark. Randall had previ
ously tendered his resignation as a
member of the committee.
Cox said the Speaker had no right
to question his motives, or to say he
made a speech for dramatic effect.
Lamar asked whether the Chair had
the right to question the motive of any
member.
The Speaker said no ; but it had
been intimated that he had decided un
justly, and he might therefore be ex
cused for speaking somewhat freely.
Cox said he had not said that the
Speaker ruled unjustly.
The Speaker inquired whether both
gentlemen, Messrs. Cox and Randall,
did not know that the questions of
their resignations could not be enter
tained now.
Randall said the Speaker had no
right to question his motives.
The Speaker—Does the gentleman
say his resignation was in order ?
Mr. Randall replied that it was when
he made it, but the Speaker had ruled
it out.

iLenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic,
and Mandrake Pills.
THESE DESERVEDLY CELEBRATED
and popular medicines have effected a revo
. tion in the healing art, and proved tho fal
.:tcy of several maxims which have for many
years obstructed the progress of medical
science. The false supposition that "Con
sumption is incurable” deterred physiciaus
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 eases—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.
Schenck’s preparations with the same re
markable success.
Full directions accompany each, making it
notabsolutely necessary to personally see Dr.
Schenck, unless patients 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
all Druggists. janl-frsutuActm

(Patented.)
I CLAIM for the above Fertilizer that it is
1 richer in tho elements valuable to
the Cotton Planter than any article sold in
Georgia or the Carolinas. To establish this
claim I refer to analyses of the best Agri
cultural Chemists in the country,Dr.Lißßio,
of Baltimore; Prof. Shepard, Inspector oi
Fertilizers for the State of South Carolina;
also to Col. Rains, Inspector at Augusta.
I refer to Planters who havo tested it with
almost every article known In the market.
In many instances using two pounds to one
against me. 1 claim it is the
CHEAPEST,
though high priced, because in each pound
of It there Is as much valuable material as
In two pounds of any of the cheap rock
phosphates. IT fii DRYER, FINER,
LIGHTER, AND CONTAINS LESS MOIS
TURE. It contains more ORGANIC MAT
TER, being made of Bones and Guano,
and not of Rock Phosphate. The Phos
phate of Lime In it is better than that ob
tained from rocks, and is taken up by the
roots of plants more readily.

Dear Sib : Yours of tho 26th at hand. In
regard to your inquiries about Guano, I do
not think I gave BUSEY’S GUANO a fair
trial. I put half as much of it to the acre
as I did of Cotton Fc >d, the results we *e
about the same, i thought it stronger than
the Cotton Food and put less.
Respectfully,
JONATHAN M. MILLER,

IF. G. Busey, Aiuen, 8. C.:
Sir : I have been asked my opinion in re
gard to BUSEY’S “ EXCELSIOR GUANO,”
and in reply will say I used it on my last
year’s crop of cotton, with other standard
Fertilizers, but I never found any of them
equal to the BUSEY’S. lam satisfied it is a
No. 1 article, and expect to give it the
preference the present year.
Respectfully,
B. E. BARKSDALE.
Augusta, Ga., January 27th, 1875.
IF. G. Busey, Aiken, 8. C.:
Dear Sir: Yours just received. I pur
chased from Daniel & Rowland, last Spring,
two tons BUSEY’S and am well p.oased
with the results. On nineteen acres of thin
sandy land I made nine bales of cotton.
Lana measured and cotton sold to Datfiel
& Rowland. Very truly,

IF. G. Busey, Esq., Aiken, 8. C.
Dear Sir : In reply to your inquiry as
to the effect of your “ EXCELSIOR
GUANO ” last season, I state that I used
about 150 pounds per acre, on 25 acres of
poor worn-out land. The result was four
teen (14) bales of cotton, averaging 415
pounds each. I consider it in every re
spect, a first-class Fertilizer.
Very respectfully,
RANSOM.
Barnett, Ga., January 28, 1875.
De>r sib: I used 7CJ pounds of your
Guano on fifteen acres of land, which made
8 bales of cotton, weighing 466 pounds. I
consider it a first-class Guano.
Respectfully, J. H. WALKER.
Warrenton, Ga., January 28, 1875.
Mr. IF. G. Busey.
I was very much pleased with the Guano
bought of Daniel & Rowland—“ BUSEY’S
EXCELSIOR,” and expect to use it again
this year if I can get it.
Very truly, yours,
THOMAS L. WHEELER.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
Dear Sir : I used one ton of your Guano
last year. I have used several other kinds
of Guano, but think yours did better than
any I have ever tried. Respectfully,
J. A. TAYLOR.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
This is to certify that I have used
‘‘BUSEY’S EXCELSIOR” GUANO forsev
eral years past, and from actual test with
fifteen different kinds, I do not hesitate to
pronounce it fully equal to any, if not the
very best, of all the manipulated Guanos
used by myself since the war.

IF. G. Busey, Ksq.
Dear Sir : Yours to hand asking my tes
timonial of your Guano. I used it in the
year 1872. and I thought it was the best I
ever used in m v life, making the best vield
I had ever received from any Fertilizer. I
used last year one ton, and while it did
well, not so well as before; but it was
owing to seasons. If it is kept to its origi
nal standard, I think it one of if not tne
best I have ever found for my land.
Respectfully, T. J. PILCHER.
Barnett, Ga.. January 27,1875.
IF. (Jf. Busey, Esq.
Dear Sib: Your favor requesting the re
sult of your Guano on my cotton crop last
season is at hand. I made no test with
other commercial manures last season, but
tested it with two different brands two
years ago, and the result was greatly in
favor of your Guano, and I was equally as
well pleased with it last season, and judg
ing from test rows that it enhanced the
value of this crop considerably. The exces
sively hot weather in August proved fatal
in this vicinity. To tlxose wishing to use
Guano, I feel no delicacy in commending it
as a first-class Fertilizer, to be excelled by
none, Resoectfullv,
