THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12,1875.
BREAKERS AHEAD.
The predictions of Hon. Alexander
11. Stephens, in his speeches last Fall,
are rapidly becoming matters of fact
• and history. Rarely has a great and
sagacious patriot been so strongly mis
< mceived by his own people, and rarely
has time s 8 swiftly justified him. It is
the misfortune of the South that she
has often run after Jack-o’-lantern or
ators and taken their advice, only to be
ished upon the breakers. This mis
f Ttune is all the greater and more ex
asperating when heaven had vouch
safed them the clear,’pure, saving bea
< m-light of truth, wisdom and pres
cience. It is the glory and honor
■ f the Eighth District of Georgia
that Alexander H. Stephens still
providentially remains among the liv
ing; and it will be for the su
preme happiness of the whole coun
try if his counsef should be sought and
kept, and his pati’iotism implicitly con
fided in. We rejoice to think that the
: >ber second thought of the people of
(Georgia and the whole South is at last
according justice to this illustrious
man and, at last, if not too late, rang
?ag themselves under his banner and
■u the line of his principles and strat
egy. Immense future benefits will ac
crue if this be a correct supposition.
Dire and dreadful calamities will occur
if the grand old stateman’s counsels
vrre neglected, despised and rejected
for those of wild men who possess the
contortions of the sibyl and none of
her inspiration.
We know for certain that Mr. Ste
phens, months ago, warned our imme
diate Representatives and a number of
our public men that the Convention ag
itation was a signal element of danger
to the party and the country, and
asked them to consider the views he
gave, and, if possible, follow them.
We regret to say that his solemn ad
monitions have been disregarded, in
some quarters. Of course, it is galling
to the human respect of a majority
of people to abandon pet theories and
submit their own judgments to the
convictions of another. But when,
through the course of a long life, such
a man as Stephens, who has made no
political blunders, vouchsafes to warn
his fellow countrymen, whom he so
dearly and entirely loves, it strikes us
that much individual opinion may be
honorably surrendered, under such re
markable circumstances.
We read, apropos of this subject, in
the Washington special telegrams of
the Courier-Journal, that Grant’s
Arkansas message has fallen like a
thunderbolt upon Congress and the
country. We read too that “some of
the most prominent Southerners are
really doubtful whether this or any
other act of usurpation will arouse the
Northern people in time to arrest the
success of the third term plot. They
rightly condemn as imprudent under the
present circumstances the propositions
made in the Georgia and North Carolina
Legislatures, to modify the State consti
tutions, and there can be no doubt that
these proceedings give great satisfaction
l Q (yRIY'T MaBWAW Sr Pa *-* „
pretext for exercising military control
over the Southern States. Well informed
observers of the situation here are
amazed that members of these State Leg
islatures should fail to understand by
how slender a thread they keep the con
trol of their State governments, and that
as long as Grant is President they are
liable to be upset any day by the army,
with no help for it."
A large class of people in the South
rely upon the North to violently resist
usurpation. Sometimes even the most
phlegmatic races unexpectedly rise up
and strike down the tyrant; but, as a
general thing, they submit first to a
loss of liberty and only strike when
their madness can accomplish little or
nothing for genuine freedom. We are
sorry to say that all hope of a rebel
lion at the North against the usurpa
tion of Congress or the President is, at
best, problematical. The people of the
South need not lean on that broken reed
and, after the monstrous deception of
1860-61, they should mistrust all su
perficial shows of indignation upon the
part of that Democracy which has
swallowed the two amendments as
finalities and virtually surrendered the
only principles worth contending for.
The sole hope for this country is abso
lute peace at the South and a heroic,
as well as patient, endurance of evil
legislation. This advice is no novelty
with the Constitutionalist. In the
performance of this plan, all causes of
irritation should be removed and all
unnecessary provocations to Federal
interference abandoned. Asa logical
sequence to this, let the Legislature
promptly vote down the Conven
tion bill and indefinitely postpone
all such legislation for future con
sideration. When the crisis shall have
passed, it will be time enough
for a Convention. At present, having
discovered that our most puissant foes
are making capital out of this agitation,
we would be idiots indeed if we con
tinued to furnish fresh pabulum for
their cruel maws, which are as insatia
ble as the grave. Let Judge Reesi,
like a true patriot, v. ithdraw his bill!
In case he should refuse to do so, let
the Legislature vote it down so em
phatically that no encouragement shall
be given for any man to produce
another measure of the same kind,
until all danger of its proving a fire
brand be removed forever.
Gold. —A correspondent of the New
Orleans limes gives this reason why
gold has gone up :
There is a big gold pool formed in New
York, and the members have a fund here
(in Washington) to induce the Foreign Re
latione Committee to report favorably up
on the resolution recognizing the belliger
ency of Cuba. It is* said to be headed by
Jan Gould. I think it probable they may
succeed, and of course gold will go to
twenty. Of course that information I can
not use, but I give it to you that, you may
understand why gold is rising.
Keep your eye on the Foreign Rela
tions Committee.
Novell— An Ohio journalist calls his
piracies from other journals “ press
grams.”
Water Famine. —The Nashville Union
and American says the water famine in
the New England States is assuming
increased proportions, and seriously
interrupting the production of cotton
goods. Additional mills have been
compelled to suspend operations en
tirely for lack of motive power, and
many large corporations in Massachu
setts and Maine are only producing
from 25 to 33 per cent, of their’ usual
product. Several of the Lewiston mills
are only making 25 per cent, of their
customary supply, and the Pepperell
and Laconia mills are only able to turn
out goods to the extent of one-third of
their full capacity. Other mills which
have liberal contracts on hand are un
able to compete with them for lack of
water ; and even the steam mills are in
some cases unable to obtain sufficient
water for the generation of steam.
Blab. —The New Orleans Picayune is
very severe upon the McEnery men.
Hear this:
No one. not even the most lurid patriot
that walks our streets, has a right to de
stroy one proposition without offering an
other one in its place. General glory,
vague virtue, indistinct heroism, undefined
grandeur—these things are not enough for
people on the verge of ruin. Not even to
let our great men vapor; not even to enjoy
the evidence of their superiority to human
considerations; not even to hear them
speak and see them act, and share the hap
piness andiblessing of their presence and
approval; not for these things and twice
as many more ought the destinies of Lou
isiana to be juggled away without our
knowing why.
It is a question of principles and po
tatoes—with the odds in favor of the
latter.
Suicide. —Ex-Gov. Seymour thinks
the Radicals in Congress are about to
commit suicide. Well, do not stop
them.
Ignorance. —There are 750,000 white
men in the United States who do not
know how to read. They may be a
great deal happier than those who read
too much.

the practical restoration of the frank
ing privilege.
The new tariff bill was discussed dur
ing the rest of the day’s session.
Dawes, of Massachusetts, the chair
man of the Committee on Ways and
Means, is making a speech.
r, H° u se is again considering the
Post Office appropriation bill.
Senate. Hamilton, of Maryland pre
sented a minority report from the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections
signed by himself and Saulsbury’
against the admission of Pinchback
Ordered to be printed and lie on the
table.
In the Senate,McCreary,of Kentucky,
introduced a bill setting forth that it
had been reported in a responsible
medical journal of the United States
that a Coolie ship from Calcutta had
become infected with epidemic cholera
during the voyage, and it had been
announced in a newspaper of the
State of Texas that a disease re
sembling cholera was raging in
Mexico, at no great distance from the
frontier of the United States ; there
fore the Secretary of War be directed
to detail a medical officer of the army,
under the direction of the Surgeon Gen
eral, to investigate carefully the nature
of said reports,and if they shall be found
to be based on facts, he shall, through
the Surgeon General give due and time
ly notice of the advance and spread of
the disease, and should it threaten to
reach the United States during the
present year, it shall be the duty of
said officer to complete records of the
epidemic and report the same to Con
gress. The bill proposes an appropri

WASHINGTON.
Washington, February 11.—The Sen
ate caucused this morning on the or
der of business.
There was to be a joint session cau
cus to-night, but it failed, probably on
account of bad weather. The South
generally was to have been considered.
A joint committee of Republican
Senators and Representatives was held
to-night, but, owing to a misunder
standing, the attendance was small.
Joint committees of caucus:? 1 of both
Houses made a report, presenting a
bill authorizing the President to sus
pend the habeas corpus in certain cases,
and in accordance with pi evious acts,
giving him power to use the army and
navy to maintain peace and suppress
disorder; to appoint deputy mar
shals and supervisors of elec
tions! in Congressional Districts,
who, in addition to their other pow
ers, can arrest persons who may
attempt to intimidate elections, or oth
erwise unlawfully interfere with the
conduct of elections. Provision is
made for fair and full registration of
legal voters under prescribed regula
tions, and it is made unlawful for any
of the reconstructed States to impose
excessive poll taxes, and to require the
prepayment thereof as a qualification
for voting at any election at which
members of Congress shall be chosen.
They declare the exhibition or use of
deadly weapons on days of registra
tion or elections, for the purpose of
intimidation or violence, a criminal
offense, punishable by fine and impris
onment at the discretion of the court.
Representative J. Ambler Smith, of
Virginia, moved to strike out the words
“ reconstructed States ;” his object be
ing to destroy sectional reference, and,
if the bill was passed, to make it ap
plicable to all Stares. He protested
against further Federal interference in
the affairs of the South.
Representative Dawes, of Massachu
setts, Cobb, of Kansas, and Williams,
of Michigan, agreed in the main with
the gentleman from Virginia, but Law
rence, of Ohio, Albright, of Pennsylvana,
and Lynch, of Mississippi, took op
posite grounds, insisting that there was
the greatest need for Federal interfer
ence to protect the colored men in the
exercise of their rights. The caucus
was not altogether harmonious, and
without action adjourned until to-mor
row night. Several members stated
that they thought their time would be
more profitably employed Friday night
in listening to Colfax’s lecture on the
character of Lincoln.
NEW YORK.

extends as far as the eye can reach.
The New York Times on the Arkan
sas Matter.
The Times, quoting from the Arkan
sas reports and the President’s mes
sage, says Congress cannot do better
than adopt the report of the House
committee, and refer the President to
it for the guidance which he seeks. In
doing so it will not remove all the evils
and difficulties that exist in Arkansas,
but it will perform its well defined duty
under the Constitution, and will enable
the President without danger to do his
duty.

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,
rar exceeds alt that can ue orougni to support
the pretensions of any other medicine. See
Dr. Schenck’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 case of Consumption
may be cured.

A CARD.
CHINA. JAPAN. AUGUSTA
A CARGO OF TEA generally pas -es
through the hands of five or six par
ties before reaching the consumer, anti, of
course, has to leave profit with each, thus
making yery “ dear goods.”
I 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 iirst hands, with only
ire lght and United States Receiver’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
he 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 he bought in
large cities.
One Dollar Will Buy
Two pound 1 of good Green or Blank Tea.
four and a half pounds of good Rio Coffee,
three pounds Gillies’ celebrated Crushed
Coffee, 5 pounds of the best Cream Cheese,,
two and one-half pounds good Goshen But
ter, four pounds pure French Mixed Candy,
six pounds pure Stick Candy, six pounds
assorted Nuts (Pecans and Brazils), twelve
pounds good Carolina Rice, twenty' bars of

pounds of the bed Soda Crackers, eight
pounds of Sugar - , Cream, Lemon or Milk
