THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1875.
SOCIAL RIGHTS.
The Civil Rights bill, which passed
both Houses of Congress and has been
signed by the President, is not such a
measure as Charles Sumner desired,
and was denounced by the extremists
of the Senate as the play of Hamlet
with the character of the melancholy
Dane omitted. The school and ceme
tery clauses were the most objection
able features, and these have been
wiped out. In addition to tins, the sth
section gives the opponents of the bill
an opportunity of testing it before the
Supreme Court, and thus possiblj o\ ei -
throwing the whole concern.
It will do the Republicans no good,
but, on the contrary, if the South is
wise, much harm. Matt Carpenter,
wicked as he may be on other points,
was mainly right on this question, and
delivered, in opposition to the bid, bj
far the most powerful speech of this or
any preceding session since the war.
He thus concluded:
I can understand how an orator, like the
Senator from Indiana, could influence the
passions of a popular assembly and rally it
to the support of the provisions of the
bill, but I confess my astonishment and my
sorrow that he can carry along with him
the highest court of the land, the Senate of
the United States, and pass this bill
throughout all the forms of enactment. I
am consoled, however, by the confidence
that if it shall become a law, the judicial
courts will intervene to vindicate the Con
stitution.
These words from so remarkable a
jurist as Mr. Carpenter should have
great weight, and they should like
wise teach the people of the South
that, even in the opinion of a Republi
can Senator, the true remedy for this
outrage is to be found at last, if found
at all, in peaceful and Constitutional
methods.
On the 10th of February, Lieut.
Gov. Hubbard delivered in the Texas
Senate a speech of admirable quality,
and, in anticipation of just such legis
lation as is now before the country, he
said :
It is our duty to awaken public sentiment
to be ever upon the alert, to show to the
American people a sublime example of pa
tience and long suffering, which shall hold
out with unfaltering faith through the
long weary watches of the night, until the
perfect day begins to break across the
mountains and over the valleys. The “Civil
Rights bill” has passed the House. It will
pass the Senate. It is arranged—the judg
ment is made in advance of the trial.
Threats have gone out against Arkansas
from the President. What does it mean ?
We all know its intent and purpose. Stand
ing here to-day in this Senate as one of the
humblest of your officers of State, I invoke
your attention and your sympathy for her,
too. This State of Texas is my home—lov
ing her heroic memories with the death
less love of woman—for I have children
that sleep in its sod. Here I expect to live
and hope to be buried, and whatever ser
vice this poor arm has given or could yield
for its defense would be gladly rendered.—
Lsy these and memories like these I invoke
you, my countrymen, to bear camly and
patiently whatever in God’s good provi
dence may be put upon you. Do nothing—
as you never have done—in violation of a
solitary sentence of the Constitution or its
amendments. If the Civil Rights bill is
put upon you, bear it; bear it bravely, and
if, under a semblance of the Constitution
and laws, they propose to put the mana
cles upon your arms, let them do it! The
time is coming for your deliverance! I
thank God that the truth never yet re
mained always under the heel of tyranny.
In New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
New Jersey, and last, but not least, in old
Massachusetts, where the very cradle of
liberty was rocked, all have sent to us,
across the storm and troublous paths of
the tempest, words of comfort and cheer,
and exhorted us to be of good heart and
fear not! It is to the great bar of public
justice and to the sentiment of the com
mon country, and to all mankind, that we
would appeal.
When the next long roll for the defense
of the Constitution of the country takes
.place, let it be commenced at Bunker Hill
and not at Fort Sumter. Let it be repeated
at Brandywine and at Lexington and Mon
mouth and Valley Forge, and then, cross
ing the Potomac, be echoed back at Gettys
burg and Chancellorsville and Manassas
and Shiloh and Mansfield, and the very
dead will rise and answer that call.
Let the South follow in this great cru
sade of our country—not lead. There are
but a few months yet to wait when twenty
one Governors will take the helm in their
States, and when seventy-six majority will
walk up and take their oaths in Congress
to abide by the Constitution and shape the
legislation of this country. When that
day comes, if we are but sublime in our for
titude, “ all will be well.”
It would be superfluous to add any
thing to these wise and eloquent
words. We commend them to all of
our readers and bid them remember
that the next struggle for liberty must
come from beyond their border. If
successful, it will be but the continua
tion of our own immortal contest ;
if it should never come, or coming
should fail utterly, the glory shall be
still ours of having yielded the rights
and principles of the Fathers only
after unexampled sacrifices of blood
and treasure, and that the only section
deserving of freedom was the home
of Washington and the grave of Lee.
Louisiana. —The most eloqent and
forcible speech made at a mass meet
ing in New Orleans, to protest against
the Wheeler compromise, was that of
Dr. John D. Bruns, so well-known in
South Carolina. Concluding amid the
plaudits of his hearers, he said :
It is always bad principle to compromise
at the sacrifice of truth or consistency. I
believe that for me to sign the Wheeler
compromise would be the acknowledging
myself a craven or a traitor.
A letter was read, at the same meet
ing, from Judge John A. Campbell, ex-
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court, which exhaustively reviewed
the whole question and condemned the
Wheeler compromise as a temporary
expedient, which surrendered the
cause of Louisiana and Liberty, with
out any corresponding benefit.
Odd.— According to the Danbury
News man, now traveling in England,
when the English people find a skele
ton they can’t explain, they send it to
the British museum, and label it
“ Rameses III.”
Ugh.—The State debt of Louisiana
is $48,000,000, piled up by negroes and
carpet-baggers. Luckily, the State
Courts have enjoined $27,000,000 of
this amount as fraudulent and uncon
stitutional
Legislative. —The members of the
Georgia General Assembly have some .
consolation in knowing that they are
matched elsewhere. Witness the fol
lowing from the Chicago Tribune:
The Legislature of Illinois has now been
in session more than six weeks, and has ac
complished nothing. The people and the
press of the State having already pro
nounced it to be a mortifying failuie, now
comes the Legislature itself, and, in the
caucus of the pseudo-Reform members of
the House, virtually acknowledges the fact
by a public declaration of its want of a lea
der and its inability to agree upon any pro
gramme sufficiently practical to insure the
passage of the legislation needed for the
State.
Probably the lawyers in the Legis
lature can hot agree, and the Graugers
are just as much muddled as the law
yers. Let them recommend a day of
fasting and prayer and then adjourn
the concern.
——
Jones. —We have been looking for an
explanation of that queer financial
statement from the Treasurer, which
the Atlanta Constitution published.
The Atlanta Neivs probably accounts
for it by stating that Mr. Jones has
been sick for some time and under the
influence of opiates.
The result of the whole matter
seems to be that nobody knows whether
any bonds have been paid twice or not,
and that the Treasurer is the victim of
a vicious system of book-keeping
which lias been in vogue for seventy
years.
Tobin’s Bond Tables.
The Charleston Neivs and Courier
says :
These tables, computed by Mr. Thos.
Tobin, of Augusta, will be of great in
terest and service to business men, as
the show the per centage of interest
yielded annually by investment in 3@
10 per cent, bonds having one to thirty
years to run, when purchased at 50@
110 cents on the dollar. When a
six per cent, bond is bought
at GO, it is easy enough to see
that the annual interest upon the
amount of money invested is ten per
cent. But, when the bond falls due,
the holder will receive SIOO for every
S6O that he paid out, and this element
of profit must be taken into account if
the whole annual yield of the money is
to be shovra. For example : The pur
chaser of SIO,OOO of six per cent, bonds,
having twenty years, to run, at sixty
cents on the dollar, receives S6OO a year
interest, and at the end of the twenty
years receives the capital or face value
of the bonds, which is SIO,OOO. His in
terest on the $6,000 invested is ten per
cent., but, adding the SI,OOO profit
which he will make when the bonds
mature, the entire annual yield on the
1 $6,000 invested is 13per cent. Tobin’s
■ tables show these results at a glance,
sand we recommend them to brokers,
s stock dealers and business men. The
Charleston agency is at Holmesj
'. book house, and the price of the tables
. is $3.

A. R. Shepherd, submitted a report,

Reforms iff Ireland—Buffet Elected
President of the French Assembly—
John Mitchel Sinking Fast.
London, March 2.— ln the House of
Commons, Sir M. H. Beach, Chief Sec
retary for Ireland, introduced a bill
lessening penalties for unlawful posses
sion of arms in Ireland, repealing the
law authorizing the closing of public
houses and arrest of persons found
out doors at night in proclaimed dis
tricts, and removing restrictions on
newspapers. He stated the government
intended to reenact the laws against
Ribbonism in Westmeath, as it was as
sumed Ribbon conspiracy existed as
strong as ever there. He pointed to
the fact that John Mitchel was elected
to Parliament, because he declared he
would never consent to be at peace
with England, and he alluded to the
return of numerous emigrants from
America, who he said had acquired
Western vices and forgotten their
Irish virtues. These were the reasons
for not wholly removing the restric
tions on the possession of Are arms in
Ireland. The Marquis of Hartington,
the new Liberal leader, supported the
bill, which passed to a first reading.
John Mitchel is utterly prostrated in
health and has frequent fainting fits.
It is thought that he will be compelled
to withdraw from the election contest
in Tipperary.
Paris, March 2.—The Assembly to
day re-elected M. Buffet, President, by
a vote of 479 to 63. This majority, lar
ger than the Assembly ever gave be
fore for President, shows that iluffet

Ministry. Messieurs Martel, D. Audif
fret-Pasquier, Kerdrel and Picard were
elected Vice-Presidents.

Cuba—Departure of Captain General
Concha.
Havana, March 2.— Captain General
Concha sailed to-day for Spain. He
issued a proclamation before his de
parture, in which he says: “I leave you
less prosperous than you were in 1852
and 1859, as the insurrection still de
vastates extensive although principally
barren portions of the island. I did not
promise you on my arrival to liberate
you from this evil, for I said the war
had lasted and might be prolonged
owing to its peculiar conditions, but
the character of the war has changed.”
The Captain-General refers to for
eigners commanding the enemy. He
terms the insurgents bandits, and de
clares that their plans in the Cinco
Villas District have been frustrated.
He closes by telling the people that, in
order to restore peace in the island,
it will be necessary for them
to sacrifice part of their for
tunes to pay the public debt and
maintain the army and navy in an effici
ent condition. The soldiers, volunteers
and firemen are complimented for their
patriotic services.
Gen. Figueroas remains in command
of the island its acting Captain General.

that in their opinion the members of

utterly subversive of the rights
and principles for which they
have been contending; that they
adjure those morabe r s of the United

ative people of Louisiana, their unal
terable resolution to continue to op
pose the Kellogg government, and to
prosecute the Louisiana cause before
