THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5,1875.
REFORMING THE PARTY.
Long ago, the better class of Repub
lican papers, such as the Cincinuati
Gazette, insisted that their party must
he purged, and provided, as a sine qua
on, that two monstrosities should be
tbe first unloaded, viz.: Chandler and
< 'arpenter. The Gazette and its con
freres have had their wishes grati
fied. Chandler and Carpenter have
been relegated to the Umbo of
defunct political leaders. We shall see
whether or not this drastic process will
i>e of any service. It seems to us that
the process of reform is rather late of
accomplishment; but such is not the
v iew held by prominent men, notably
among them the Vice-President. Mr.
Wilson expresses himself as more than
satisfied with the effect of his recent
letter to the Springfield Republican.
He is reported by a World correspon
dent as “ receiving a very large num
ber of letters from all parts of the
country endorsing the sentiments of
his letter on the condition and pros
pects of the Republican party. These
iettei’B are mostly from persons who
have been members of the Republican
party from the time of its foundation,
but have recently become disgusted
with Grantism, and are anxious to see
the party management reformed in ac
cordance with Mr. Wilson’s ideas.
In the South he has many corres
pondents who endorse his views
with regard to the politics of that
sec. ion, showing that his views
have awakened a national response. It
is not impossible, should Mr. Wilson’s
health continue good, that he may at
tempt to lead a reform movemeut in
the Republican party. It is under
stood that he holds that none of the
pledges of reform made by the Repub
licans in 1872 have been redeemed, and
that an honest effort to redeem them,
even now, would reunite the masses of
the party. His letter has called out
much hostile comment in Administra
tion circles, and the President and
some of the Senators are disposed
to apply the same kind of treat
ment which they applied to Mr. Sum
ner. Fortunately, for himself, how
ever, Mr. Wilson occupies a position
where they cannot disturb him. He is
sure to be a thorn in the side of the
Administration for the next two years
at any rate.”
Judging from these manifestations,
there is an imminent deadly breach in
the Republican ranks. If Wilson will
be a thorn in the side of Grant, the
President will be a dagger in the side
of Wilson. It would be a pity to spoil
so pretty a quarrel, and therefore fihe
South can afford to let the game of
cross-purposes continue. At any rate,
she should not do anything to compel
the two hostile wings of the common
enemy to coalesce against her.
Another Scandal.— The Baltimore
Sun’s Washington correspondent says
intense excitement pervades all circles
over the astounding developments re
lative to the Memphis and El Paso
corruption fund. Shoals of CongrefHs
men are around the newspaper offl< :es
discussing this last wreck of reputa
tions, some of which have heretofore
been considered impregnable. Person
al explanations may now be considered
in order, and a move for an investiga
tion into this now iniquity. The quos
tion of the hour is who next of t lie
Christian statesmen will fall, as further
and more astounding disclosures are
said to be yet forthcoming.
No wonder so many fellows scram
ble for Congress—“ there’s millions in
it!”
Richelieu.— The Washington Chron
icle makes this point:
The audiences in the Southern theatres
rise to their feet en masse and cheer an ac
tor long and loudly who, in playing Riche
lieu, repeats the following words of the
groat Cardinal: “Take away the sword;
States can be saved without it.” When
the following passage occurs we suppose a
dead silence reigns :
“ Richelieu—Remember my grand max
ims. First, employ all methods to concili
ate.
“Joseph—Failing these?
“ Richelieu —All means to crush.”
The Radical Republican applause
comes in there. Even a Washington
audience would not sympathize with it.
■
Tilton and Beecher.—lf the sluice
gate of filth is once opened by the
Southern press, in the matter of the
Brooklyn scandal, the end of it is diffi
cult to foresee. We therefore decline
to publish any of this bestiality. When
the testimony of Moulton was given,
the telegraph operator declined to send
it Southward on the ground that it was
too filthy. Moulton’s testimony was
chastity itself compared with Tilton’s.
The Iron Clad. —Some of the most ex
treme Northern and Southern Radicals of
the House threaten that the amended form
of oath for members of Congress shall be
repealed. This they say would debar a ;
large number of ex-Confederates from
taking seat3, as they cannot take the iron
olad oath. Such threats as this serve to
show the spirit now animating many Rad
ical members—Cbr. Baltimore Sun.
What is the use of reviving the iron
cled oath? Andrew Johnson has shown
the way to make “ ex-Gonfederates
take back seats.”
Disraeli. —The Baltimore Gazette
says:
Disraeli is now sixty, and to marry
again would spoil all the romance and
poetry of his career.
“ Romance and poetry ” for an old
politician, indeed ! At 33 Byron wrote:
“ The sad, sad thought, as bending
o’er my desk,
Turns what was once romantic to
buries que.’’
Good Enough ! —The new Senator
elect from Pennsylvania, Mr. Wallace,
had a reception lately at which the
State Congressional delegation was
present. In the course of conversation
on the political events of the day, a
Republican member of the Legislature
remarked that if Congress sustained
the military interferences in Louisiana
and Pinchback was admitted to the
Senate, the State of Pennsylvania would
go Democratic next Fall by more than
60,000 majority.
Ben Hill.— Speaking of the meeting
held at Athens, recently, to recommend
Mr. Hxll for nomination to Congress
in the 9th District, the Watchman says :
The meeting was held at an hour when
we could not attend, and many others were
prevented, from various causes, from
going. Certain persons have asserted that
there were but eight or ten present at the
meeting. This is a mistake; as we are
assured by Mr. John H. Newton and other
reputable citizens that between thirty and
forty persons attended.
According to this, the enthusiasm for
Mr. Hill is not of an overpowering
character.
Weed. —Old Thurlow Weed, who
persistently lets the world know that
he is still alive, thus writes of Andrew
Johnson:
I remember with lively gratitude his de
votion to the Government and Union from
the beginning to the end of the rebellion.
When other Southern Senators advocated
secession and threatened disunion, Andrew
Johnson rebuked and denounced them.
When the overtact of rebellion was com
mitted, he pronounced treason a crime in
voking the punishment due to traitors.
Hurrah for Andrew Johnson !
A Slip. —A Washington correspon
dent of the New York World writes :
Conkling is the Senatorial Adonis.
When he was in the House the young ladies
used to sit in the galleries and wish they
had a lock of the dear little curl that
adorns his brow, and, as it is thinner now
than it used to be, it is probably, on Ghib
elline principles, even dearer.
“ Ghibelline principles ?” What are
they? It should be Sibylline princi
ples.
Louisiana. —All the eminent states
men of the Senate have given their
views on the Louisiana question. None
have proposed a remedy.

FROM ATLANTA.
Legislative Proceedings—-Passage
of the Usury Law—Re-establish
ment of the Lien Law Voted Down—
The Members Refuse to Reduce their
Rations—Music by the Band—Ben
Hill to Stand for Congress—Price
Opposes Him.
Atlanta, February 4.
The usury law under discussion in
the Senate yesterday passed this morn
ing by 21 yeas to 12 nays.
The special order being to re-establish
the lien law was discussed and favored
by Gilmore, Lester, Arnow and Hester,
and opposed by Blance, Black, Cain,
Hudson, of 28th, and Peavy. The bill
was lost—ll yeas to 21 nays.
The Senate voted to give the com
mittee appointed to investigate the in
debtedness of Phatty Harris and
others, appointed by the last Legisla
ture, ten dollars a day.
The following bills were introduced
in the Senate :
By Mr. Crawford—To better protect
the State in its endorsement of rail
road bonds, and enable the Governor
to appoint a commissioner to manage
or otherwise dispose of the same un
der his authority.
By Mr. Hudson—To consolidate sev
eral acts incorporating Hamilton.
By Mr. Peavy—To require Judges of
the Superior Court to give charges to
juries iu writing in certain cases.
Those voting against the re-enact
ment of the Usury Law in the Senate,
are Crawford, Dußuose, Felton, Gil
more, Graham, Kibbee, Lester, Peavy,
Mathews, Wilcox, Arnow and Payne.
The House this morning recon
sidered the general tax act and amen
ded it so as to impose a tax on all per
formances of any character in theatres.
The House then took up the general
appropriation act which consumed the
entire day of two sessions and is not
concluded yet.
The reduction of salaries of Clerk of
the Legistature, and State House
Clerks, recommended by the Finance
Committee were all voted down and
the same salary as last year adopted
instead. Those opposing the report of
the Finance Committee to reduce
salaries, were Bacon, Hoge and War
ren. Those supporting the report,
were Anderson, of Cobb, 3tallings,
Candler, Hamilton and Revill.
The salaries of the Clerk # of the
House and Secretary of the Senate are
SI,OOO ; Assistant Clerk and Assistant
Secretary, §750; Journalizing Clerks,
§750. The per diem and mileage of
members are the same as last year;
subordinate clerks, §7 per day ; pages,
§3. No alteration was made in the
salaries of State House officers. Six
teen thousand five hundred dollars to
the Deaf and Dumb Asylum was in
creased §3,400 from last year. A score
of propositions to reduce per diem and
mileage was voted down. [Of course.]
The impression prevails to-night tha'
Ben Hill will be nominated. It is pretty
generally conceded that he will carry
Morgan, Clarke, Gwinnett, Jackson,
Madison, Banks and Hall. W. P. Price
has announced himself an independent,
and it is predicted the race will be close,
unless Hill stumps the District, which
he said he will do.
Pursuant to a call by Gov. Jenkins,
the meeting of the Board of Trustees
of the State University will occur here
to-morrow, to consider the proposed
change in the manner of appointing
trustees. It is supposed they will make
an effort to defeat the measure. H.

In the Senate —Morton, of Indiana
presented a memorial, signed by fifteen
hundred colored men of Baltimore, de
positors in the Baltimore branch of the
Freedmen’s Savings & Trust Company,
asking for relief. Referred to Finance
Committee.
Boutwell, of Massachusetts, from the
Committee on Commerce, reported with
amendments the Senate bill to pro
mote economy and efficiency in the
marine hospital service calendar.
Pratt, of Indiana, from the Commit
tee on Pensions, reported, with amend
ments, the Senate bill amending the
pension law, so as to remove the dis
ability of those who, having participa
ted in the rebellion, have since its ter
mination enlisted in the army of the
United States and become disabled.
Placed on the Calendar.
A large number cf bills reported by
the Committee on Claims were passed.
The House bill for the relief of
Madam Octavia Levert. and her child
ren, was taken up and led to some dis
cussion. Scott said there were eighteen
or twenty claims yet on the list which
might properly be called Southern
Claims or claims arising out of the late
war. If the Senate would give the com
mittee further time, claims of this
class might be considered. To test the
sense of the Senate he moved that
the time allowed the committee be ex
tended one hour for the purpose of
considering this class of claims re
ferred to.
Pending the discussion, the time al
lowed the committee expired.
The Senate then took up the concur
rent resolution submitted by Morton
to repeal the 22d joint rule of the two
Houses of Congress in relation to count
ing the electoral vote for President and
Vice-President. Morton said the exis
tence of this rule subjected the country
to great danger. After consultation
with a number of Senators he had de
termined to offer the following as a
substitute for the motion to repeal:
“No objection to the reception and
counting of any electoral vote or votes
from any State shall be valid unless
such objection is sustained by the affir
mative votes of the two Houses.”
After discussion the subject was re
ferred to the Committee on Privileges
and elections.
House. —There was great excitement
in the House to-day, arising from a
speech of Brown, of Kentucky, on the
Civil Rights bill, in which he spoke of
Butler, of Massachusetts, in the fol
lowing terms : “ What should be said
if the accusation of the Southern peo
ple should come from one who is out
lawed in his own home from respecta
ble society, whose name is synonymous
with falsehood ; who is the champion,
and has been on all occasions, of fraud ;
who is the apologist of thieves ; who
is such a prodigy of vice and mean
nesses that to describe him imagination
would sicken and invective would ex
haust itself ? In Scotland, years ago,
there was a man whose trade was mur
der, and he earned his livelihood by
selling the bodies of his victims for
gold. He linked his name to his crime,
: and to-day, throughout the world, it is
knowm as “ Burking.”
The Speaker—“ Does the Chair under
stand the gentleman to be referring in
this language to a member of the
House ?
Mr. Brown—“ No sir ; I am describ
ing an individual who is in my mind’s
eye.”
The Speaker— 4 The Chair under
stood the gentleman to refer to a mem
ber of the House ?”
Mr. Brown—No sir, I call no names.
This man’s name was linked to his
crime, and to-day, throught the world,
it is known as “ burking.” If I was to
desire to express all that was pusillani
mous in war, inhuman in peace, forbid
den in morals and infamous in politics,
I should call it “ Bullerizing.”
For this violation of parliamentary
order a resolution of censure was pass
ed upon Brown, after a very exciting
debate, and was administered by the
Speaker.
The Civil Rights bill then went over
till to-morrow. The House to meet at
10 o’clock.
WASHINGTON.
No Tax on Sugar and Coffee.
Washington, February 4.—Flanagan,
who had an interview with the Presi
dent, will report favorably on Sabin as
Postmaster for Galveston. If the bill
relieving Samuel D. Evans from cer
tain financial irregularities passes, he
will be confirmed. It is positively
stated that there is no show for Par
dee. Gen. Sheldon, howevor, is posi
tive that Pardee will be confirmed
within five days.
If any tariff or tax bill passes this
session it will provide for an increased
tariff on sugar. The committee this
morning took several votes which in
dicated there can be no tax on tea aDd
coffee as an independent proposition,
but if there should be such tax it must
be in company with certain articles on
the free list.

GRANT.
How He Takes Johnson’s Election.
The President is very fond of going
to the theatre, and it is very rarely
that a week passes that he does not
spend an evening at one or the other
of the theatres of Washington. At the
National Theatre a night or two since
he occupied his accustomed front seat
in the private box, where he can be
easilv seen by the entire audience.—
Dn.mg the course of the play there
was considerable gagging indulged in
by the actors, including allusions to
the third term, military interference,
&c., which seemed to delight the audi
ence very much. Finally one of the
players brought in the name of Grant
when another quickly replied, “ Andy
Johnson will soon be in the Senate and
will take care of him.” At this the ap
plause was perfectly uproarious, the
men cheered, and the women waved
their handkerchiefs, and it was a min
ute or two before order was restored.
As straws show which way the wind
blows, this is a good indication of the
way the popular current is running
even in this hot-bed of Radicalism. In
the midst of all .the commotion, the
President retained his attitude un
moved, and not a"change of expression
flitted across his stolid countenance.

CONSUMPTIVES, TAKE NOTICE.
EVERY MOMENT OF DELAY MAKES
your cure more hopeless, and much depends
on the judicious choice of a remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of Dr.Schenck’s
Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for consumption,
far exceeds all that can be brought to support
the pretensions of any other medicine. See
Dr. Schenok’s Almanac, containing the certi
ficates of many persons of the highest respec
tability, who have been restored to health,
after being pronounced incurable by physi
cians of acknowledged ability. Schenck’s
Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as
these evidences will show; but the cure is
often promoted by the employment of two
other remedies which Dr. Schenck provides
for the purpose. These additional remedies
are Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic and Man
drake Pills. By the timely use of these medi
cines, according to directions. Dr. Schenck
certifies that most any ease of Consumption
may be cured,
Dr. Schenck is professionally at his princi
