THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1875.
THE RADICAL INCUBUS.
If we can credit the chief exponents
of Radical policy, such as Harper's
Weekly and the Springfield, Mass., Re
publican, the latter a species of free
lance inside the party lines, Gen. Grant
is the heaviest burden now borne by
the Centralists of the Henry Wilson
type. Hear the Massachusetts paper :
If there has been any charitable doubt
hitherto as to the nature of the political
ideas and purposes at present entertained
at the White House, this tire brand of a
message tossed into Congress ought to
shedii glare of illumination on the subject.
The Republican party is, inde and, paying
dear .'or the “ victory ” of three years ago.
Mor rashly importunate than the frog
comi lonwealth in the fable, it has saddled
ltsel ■ with King Log and King Stork in one.
No vjonder that such acute politicians as
Henly Wilson are wringing their hands.
The same paper concludes a histori
cal sketch of the Brooks and Baxter
corniest thus:
Tfcp English of this message is: “ Au
thorise me to make war upon the govern
men.find the people of Arkansas, in the in
terest of my third term.” The response
of Congress to this statesmanlike and pa
triotic request will be waited with lively
interest. Wo do not permit ourselves to
have &ny doubts as to what it will be.
Gen. Jas. B. Stedman, well-known to
many persons, especially cotton own
ers, in this city, has his say about the
Sphinx. Here it is :
If he does not die the victim of his ap
petite he will cause his country more trou
ble, more excitement and more blood than
any man who has ever lived on this conti
nent. In every position he filled jn the
army he gave convincing proof of his des
potic characteristics in the unrelenting
bitterness he exhibited toward rivals. He
could neither brook control nor rivalry, and
thwarted in either, became unmanageable
to such an extent as to excite alarm in
Washington.
The Richmond Dispatch points out,
from a Democratic standpoint, the con
spiracy of the President to overthrow
so-called Republican institutions, as
serts that his success or defeat depends
solely upon the temper of the Northern
people, and finds some consolation in
the thought that, in case the worst
comes to the worst, the Northern and
Western States will have bitter re
minders from the “hero of the war” of
the South’s long agony.
A fair sample of concurrent testimo
ny, from both sides of the political
line of battle, demonstrates that Grant
is regarded as the Old Man of the Sea
on the shoulders of the Republican
Sinbad. We find that King Log and
King Stork combined, in the person of
the President, is making poor Henry
Wilson and his followers “wring their
hands.” Well, we are glad Grant is
doing that very same thing, and hope
he will continue to the extremity of
wringing their noses. It was Wil
son and his ablition crew who made
all the dissension between the North
and South. It was Wilson and his crew
who stole our property and “ educated
a generation to hate us.” It w’as Wil
son and his crew who precipitated the
country into war, and from that war
sprang the desolation of the South and
—Grant. Into the hands of Grant and
the military Wilson & Cos. surrendered
Constitutional Liberty, so that negroes
might be made, by acts of Congress,
what God Almighty never intended
they should be made by laws of Nature.
It is.to Wilson & Cos. this country
is indebted for universal suffrage
and the despotism of the sword. Now,
at the threshold of tho White House,
beholding the awful shape of the Execu
tive they have created, they “ wring
their hands ” and make piteous moan
for succor and relief. The old
Abolitionists like Wilson and Sumner
never dreamed that a modern Marius
would spring from the blood of the
Republican Gracchi ; but 10, he is
here! True, he may be driven to find
a lair in the ruins of anew Carthage ;
but Sylla will not fail, perchance, to
follow in his track and complete the
ruin of his country.
If, therefore, instead of “ wringing
their hands,” Henry Wilson & Cos.
would confess their crimes against the
laws of God and of the Fathers ; if they
would abandon the heresies of the
past and work for a restoration of the
true faith of the Constitution ; if, in a
word, they can perform the miracle of
subordinating their prejudices to the
only saving principles of good govern
ment —then, and not until then will
Grant hold them in fear as he
now holds them in contempt. Mean
while, they are pierced with the weapon
they forged for our annihilation and
disgrace. It is just retribution. We
cannot find it in oar hearts to abuse
Grant for avenging us upon the high
priests of abolition, social chaos and
material impoverishment. If the men
who made Grant powerful for mischief
cannot disarm him of the thunderbolt;
if they have neither the courage nor
the honesty to make him their sub J
ject instead of their tyrant, why let
them take the consequences of pusil
lanimity and hypocrisy. We of the
South can afford to leave the game in
the hands of those who have united for
our demolition. The “results of the war”
are before Henry Wilson and his allies.
How do they like them ? By the paths
of hate and greed, marked out by Con
gress, the President snubs and defies
the doctrinaires of the Republican
party. Gladly would we welcome an
alliance, on correct principles, with
men of all sections and parties, to hew
down the monster of Centralism that
now menaces and overshadows the
country; but the followers of Henry
Wilson must understand that they can
make a poor front against Grant so
long as they cling to their infamous
theories which he is simply enforc
iD 8 by “ appropriate legislation
and they may as well compre
hend, too, that while “ wringing
their hands ” the President is consoli
dating his power with a pluck and
energy which puts their frantic capers
in the attitude of a pantomime. A
grand rally of patriots everywhere may
consign Grant and Wilson both .to
their proper limbo ; but the country,
alas, seems sunk into that dangerous,
jelly-fish apathy, which fosters and
encourages the bold spirit of a Presi-
dent-General to scoop up the Govern
ment on the point of his sword.
If it must be so—which heaven fore
fend—the South has less cause to
grieve than any other section. She at
least did not surrender her right of
local self-government and the Consti
tution without a most deathless strug
gle. Her cause and her champions will
shine like stars in the firmament, what
ever shall betide. Only upon the prin
ciples for which she contended can this
country hope for tho return of lost
glories ; and, if tills be beyond ac
complishment, the proud truth shall
remain that those who scourged,
sacked, mutilated and trampled upon
her were the real enemies of freedom
and have lost their birthright by the
hand of their military idol and their
Presidential hero.
Gordon’s Offer. —lt is reported that
Senator Gordon has “ announced his
intention to write a letter to Wendell
Phillips, inviting him personally to
make an extended tour throughout the
Southern States, and give the public
the benefit of his views concerning their
condition, particularly with respect to
their government. He says he has
abundant faith in Mr. Phillips’ integrity
of purpose and ability to correctly state
the impressions the result of a trip of
this kind might have upon his mind.
He has not yet concluded whether he
will make the letter a confidential com
munication, or give it publicity after it
shall have been written.”
Phillips is rich ; but if Gordon does
not offer to pay his expenses, the invi
tation will be respectfully declined.
Complimentary. —Tho New York Tri
bune pronounces the speech of Senator
Gordon one of the “ablest speeches
delivered on Southern affairs during
the present session of Congress.” It
says: “Senator GordonJs a man of
high character, and a fair representa
tive of the large class of Southern men
of ability and culture who have accept
ed in good faith the results of the war,
and are trying to restore their States
to full fellowship in the Union.”
The Whiskey Tax.— The imposition
of an additional tax on whiskey is
looked upon as a job of the Ring. The
Ring accumulates an immense supply
in bond, on which no additional tax is
levied upon,so that they make millions
of dollars. The Baltimore Gazette de
clares that if the Democracy insist
upon putting the tax on the stock in
hand, as well as in bond, the whole
scheme will collapse like a pricked blad
der.
Statistics. —ln the volunteer army
of tho North, during the late unpleas
antness. the tallest men were from
Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin ; the
next tallest, New England, New York,
New Jersey: and the shortest from
Scotland, England and Germany. In
weights, the men of Kentucky and Ten
nessee were the heaviest, avei aging 150
pounds ; England, Scotland, France
and Belgium, all between 138 and 139
pounds.
A Difference. —Gen. Sheridan fig
ures out that more than 4,000 political
murders have been committed in Lou
isiana sinee the war. He gives no
names, and the Picayune, after inves
tigation, cannot find but 60 victims, a
large number of whom were white men
assassinated by negroes.
Scotland.— Dundee, Scotland, doe3
not “ pan out ” very well on temper
ance. Last year it is said that 502 wo
men were punished for drunkenness,
and 816 for crimes growing out of
drunkenness.
Poker.— An anonymous correspond
ent of a Northern paper calls attention
to the fact that Gen. Schenck s treatise
on draw-poker would be perfect if the
author had not strangely neglected to
describe the “straddle.”

SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Grangers Endorse the Texas Pa
cific Railway.
Charleston, February 13. —The Na
tional Grange adopted the report on
the Centennial Exposition declaring
that no provision was made whereby
the Patrons of Husbandry can be ac
commodated, and a plan through which
agricultural interests can he systemat
ically and fully represented. They re
commended further consultation with
the Directors for the purpose of secur
ing such facilities. The following re
port of the Committee on the Texas
Pacific Railroad was adopted.
“ Your committee have viewed with
great interest the expressions of ap
proval and the appeals to Congress to
forward this great work emanating
from State Granges and Boards of
Trade from the Pacific to the Atlantic,
and are impressed with the great ob
vious benefits which would result to
the whole nation by the speedy com
pletion of this road, and as it is an en
terprise too vast to depend alone for
its success upon private capital, equal
justice to all sections of our common
country require the aid of the National
Government to forward this work un
der proper restrictions and safeguards,
insuring the Government against loss
and the people against unjust imposi
tions and discriminations. Your com
mittee therefore submit the following
resolutions:
That this National Grange earnestly
invites the attention of Congress to the
necessity of a speedy completion of the
Texas Pacific Railroad, and asks of
that body reasonable aid to the com
pany which has inaugurated this great
national enterprise, under such cau
tionary restrictions and safeguards as
the prudence and wisdom of Con
gress may devise to guarantee the
Government against loss and protect
the agricultural interest of every sec
tion of the country against unjust dis
crimination in the price of transporta
tion.
Charleston, February 13.—The Na
tional Grange adopted the report of
the Committee on Transportation. The
committee say that several important
plans for providing more extensive and
cheaper means of transportation has
been presented to them, Including the
Texas Pacificß. R. plan for theimprove
ment of the mouth of the Mississippi,
the project of a double steel track
freight railroad from New York to
Missouri. Ea~h of these projects, na
tional ra character, and their success
ful completion, would encourage In a
wonderful degree the producing inte
rests of the country. The committee
declare that the time has fully come
when it is the misson and duty
of the Government to take such
measures as will .courage the produc
tive interests of t ie nation, which have
hitherto received too little attention,
and the National Grange urge upon
Congress the immediate importance
aud vital necessity of such action as
will look to providing cheap and rapid
transportation between all sections of
the country and markets of the world.
The opening of the mouth of the M is
sissippi river is a pressing necessity, in
view of the fact that so large a terri
tory is dependent on this outlet for its
products, and we urge upon our legis
lators the necessity of taking such
measures as will open this river to
the commerce of the world at the
earliest possible moment.
The Committee on Tobacco Trade
offered a preamble and resolutions de
claring that large agricultural districts
suffer great losses from the working of
the United States laws taxing tobacco,
which tax falls exclusively on citizens
of the United States ; and, whereas, by
said laws and laws of foreign countries
relating to duties on tobacco, tho gen
eral commerce is fettered and the na
tional wealth decreased. It is there
fore resolved by the National Grange
that Congress be earnestly requested
to initiate such steps as may be neces
sary to repeal all laws taxing tobacco,
and that Congress be requested to urge
the General Government to use its best
offices with foreign governments to in
duce them to reduce the duties on to
bacco.

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 he brought to support
tho pretensions of any other medicine. See
Dr. Schenck’s Almanac, containing the certi
ficates of many persons ot the highest respec
tability, who have been restored to health,
after being pronounced incurable by physi
cians of acknowledged ability. Sehenck’a
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. Sclienck provides
for the purpose. These additional remedies
are Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic and Man
drake Pills. By the timely use of these medi
oines, according to directions. Dr. Sclienck
certifies that most any oase of .Consumption
may be cured.
