THE CONSTITUTIONALIST?
SATURDAY. MARCH G, 1875.
BUTLER’S LEGACY.
The Civil Rights bill was once called
“Sumner’s legacy but, if the corres
pondent at Washington of the Boston
Advertiser is to be believed, the fate of
that measure is ludicrous, if not pa
thetic. The correspondent referred to
says, in effect, that after all the labors
and care of Charles Sumner, his dying
charge to his friend, the anxious solici
tude of hundred of thousands of good
men and women, it becomes at last a
thing so impotent that its very oppo
nents regard it with a feeling akin to
pity. It certainly does not entirely
please Fred Douglass, Pinchback and
Downing, the yellow men who are
always prating of their “race” and
making the typical negroes believe that
they really have any decided race at all.
So far, in Baltimore, the current order
of things has not been changed by re
cent legislation, and the papers of that
city seem confident that everything
will move along quietly. The Sun ob-
serves that the colored people of the
Monumental City “ take care of them
selves, and, as a rule, mind their own
business. No deviation from routine is
expected, and there will surely be no
test of rights in public places, except
possibly from strangers. In Baltimore
the community of colored people have
their own schools and churches, board
ing houses, restaurants and grave
yards. There have been long estab
lished houses among them where ac
commodation desired is always to be
had. They have large and commo
dious halls, and several of the churches
will compare favorably with the
churches of any people. As for the
right to travel, theie has been no dis
tinclion on account of race, color or
previous condition for some years.”
If it were not for Reconstruction and
its attendant evils, political and mate
rial] the colored people of the South
wodld have prospered and through
thejprosperity of the whites. But the
Radical party, which cheated the
negroes out of their hard earnings in
Bank, and did every
thing possible to excite hostility be
tween the races, and, through the Cen
tral! Authority strove to degrade and
impoverish the naturally dominant ele
ment, —the Radical party, we say, has
finally succeeded in nearly ruining
black and white alike. The Civil Rights
bill, passed by the votes of 103 Republi
cans who failed of election, and who
had been vomited forth at home, is
simply a Parthian arrow shot at a
hotly pursuing foe, in the desperate
hope of fatally wounding him. It will
miss the, mark if the white people are at
all prudent, and there is, at present,
every evidence that reason will prevail
in the midst of passion and indignation.
Governor Porter, of Tennessee, has
expressed the opinion that the negroes
were generally indifferent to the pas
sage of the Civil Rights bill. He knew
enough of the negroes to say that the
blsick man would not make himself ob
noxious by intruding himself where he
believed he was Dot wanted. We learn,
too, that our rosy ex-Chief Justice
Lochrane thinks as far as hotels are
concerned the law will be universally
resisted in the South, and as'a law is
manifestly unconstitutional. Univer
sal opposition to the law, he thinks,
will render it a nullity. At the same
time, it is reported that a number of
the leading colored men of Nashville
unite in expressing the belief that the
negroes will not take advantage of the
Civil Rights bill to make themselves
obnoxious ; that they have too much
self-respect to go where they are not
wanted. This was a mistaken notion
on the part of the whites to hint that
they would intrude upon the whites. A
few bull headed, bigoted negroes might
do so, but they were very few. The
colored people wanted peace, and as
little agitation as possible.
The World treats the whole thing as
a bit of exquisite tom-foolery, and
says:
In this country the common or statute
law of each State regulates the rights and
duties of inn-keepers and managers of
such public conveyances as are common
carriers in each State, and under these
State laws Congress says negroes shall be
subject lo no other conditions or limita
tions of admission or exclusion or treat
ment than is everybody. Cannot Massa
chusetts now incorporate or authorize a
hotel or railway or steamboat company
within her limits exclusively for blacks ?
Can she not license a theatre exclusively
for negroes, and with power to keep out
white people ?
And then as to jury lists, cannot the Leg
islature of Massachusetts say that none
but white men shall be liable to serve as
jurymen, and if so has a black man in that
State any remedy under the Civil Rights
law, if he is thereby excluded from jury
duty ?
If to reverse the picture, the negroes are
in a majority in South Carolina, and they
frame anew State Constitution excluding
white men from executive and judicial
offices and fi om jur es, and a majority of
the voters of the Stato ratify it, what re
dress can be given to the excluded white
men under the Civil Rights law, or any
other Federal Legislation ? And if, by au
thority of this same Constitution, the
South Carolina Legislature ordains that
only negroes shall be entitled to demand
accommodation in certain inns, transpor
tation in certain public conveyances or
amusements in certain theatres under con
trol of or incorporated by that State, what
can white folks do about it under any Fed
eral power ?
The general drift of intelligent opin
ion is that the bill will fail to help the
Radicals so long as the South does not
fall into the trap of violent and mur
derous resistance; that it is a measure
so full of abominable and unconstitu
tional heresies that the Supreme Court,
a Democratic Congress, and the com
mon sense of the people expressed at
the polls will, in a comparatively brief
period, make it, in all essential par
ticulars, null and void.
m
. Potash.— Col. H. P. Farrow’s pro
nunciainento on the Jones affair is pub
lished on our first page. He starts out
by saying that the newspapers will not
say much about the Treasury affair,
and therefore he feels compelled to do
so. As the newspapers have had a
vast deal to say, Col. Farrow begins
with a false assumption. There is a
maxim which says, “ false in one thing
false in all things.”
LOUISIANA AND ARKANSAS, j
We learn from special telegrams in j
the New York papers of the latest date j
that, among the prominent Louisum- |
ians who visited and conferred with
the President, Col. D. B. Penn was
not the least conspicuous. From
the same source we ascertain that Mr.
Penn was assured of the intention of
the Administration to use all its influ
ence to compel compliance with the
compromise. “ You carry out your part
of the compromise and there will be no
difficulty about the other side,” said
the President. After this interview,
Mr. Penn being assured of the good in
tentions of President Grant, tele
graphed to New Orleans the result,
and that he thought it advisable that
the Conservative members of the Sen
ate immediately take their seats, which
was done. It is also roported that a
majority, if not all, of those members
of the Conservative caucus who have
most strenuously opposed the Wheeler
compromise, numbering about twenty
five, and who refuse to sign the pro
tocol or be bound by the action of the
majority, will take their seats event
ually. They hold that since it has been
determined by the majority, forty-five
members, to go into the Kellogg
House, it is better for them to go un
fettered and untrammeled by the indi
vidual pledge exacted by the Wheeler
proposition.
The most ominous thing contained
in these dispatches is the announce
ment that “Warmoth is in favor
of a compromise, and is a candi
date for the Senate.” It would be well
for Louisiana if this fellow were out of
the way and by no means mixed up in
her destiny. He is her evil genius,
and, like a jack in a box, always pop
ping up unexpectedly.
The President has called for an ex
pression of opinion from Congress
on the Louisiana and Arkansas
questions. He has got it, and, in
the latter case, more emphatically
adverse to his own views than he pro
bably anticipated. We shall presently
see whether his intentions are of a
good or evil character.
Gas Meters. — The following resolu
tion was passed in the Baltimore City
Council a few days ago :
“Resolved by both branches of the City
Council, that the inspector and sealer of
gas meters be, and he is hereby requested
to inform the councils by what extraordi
nary process of measurement this most
singular and paradoxical condition of af
fairs is brought about—that no amount of
economy in the use of gas is sufficient to
protect the citizens of Baltimore against
the vagaries and tricks of meters, and
against unjust and extravagant bills, it
frequently happening that when the great
est care is taken in its consumption, and
actually little gas burnt, these cunning
meter's, in some inexplicable way, manage
to register a larger consumption than wheli
no caution whatever is employed and the
utmost profusion prevails. And be it fur
ther resolved, that in the opinion of both
branches of the City Council, the evil in
question is a most serious one, and that the
inspector be requested to give the matter
referred to him his most careful and de
liberate attention.”
The report of the inspector will be
looked for with great interest by many
gas consumers outside of Baltimore.
. Stephens.— “ Stephens, of Georgia, was
the only Democrat voting yea.” On what ?
Why, the Louisiana resolutions recognizing
Kellogg. This places the “ fraud upon the
Eighth Georgia District,” squarely with the
Grant wing of the Republicans, and that
man is a fool or a blind enthusiast, who
longer questions his treason to the South
and his betrayal of the Democratic party.
[Albany Neics.
If you had the fairness to have
waited and learned the truth, you
would not have gone off half-cocked
into such a blunder. Mr. Stephens vo
ted yea to change the rules so that the
two propositions of the Louisiana In
vestigating Committee might be voted
on separately. These propositions were:
Ist. The reseating of the ejected
Conservative membeis.
2nd. The recognition of Kellogg.
On the first proposition, Mr. Steph
ens voted in the affirmative. On the
second proposition he voted in the
negative. We leave it to the public,
Mr. Albany News, to decide which is
the “ fool or blind enthusiast,” tested
by the truth of history, the slanderer
or the slandered.
Technical Education. —According to
the report of a recent committee of
British savans, French and German
skilled laborers are vastly superior to
English workmen in the technicalities
of their trades and general education.
It is also declared that the mighty in
dustries of Britain are kept up to their
present standard only by foreign arti
sans. So rich is France in highly
skilled workmen that the supply is
immensely beyond the demand, and
hence many Frenchmen are forced to
do what they hate above all earthly
things, and that is abandon their na
tive land to help enrich other coun
tries. •
A Smasher. —The New York World
says:
The Republican members who have any
brains at all seem to have learned at this
late hour that to follow the lead of Grant
is to rush hopelessly upon political death.
It appears from this high testimony
that Grant is the man who is doing
what the Democrats desire, i. e., smash
ing the Radical party. The man who
tries to prevent him must, by parity of
reasoning, desire to save the aforesaid
Radical faction.
The Sphinx. —The Richmond Dis
patch asks the question : “ Shall Grant
triumph over the people?” and. an
swers it thus :
If there is virtue enough in the people,
they will gain the victory; if there is not,
Grant will triumph.
Sensibly, tersely and truly put. Grant
has lost faith in the patriotism and vir
tue of the people, especially the people
who made him what he is. If they can
convince him of his mistaken judg
ment, all will be well. The vote on the
Arkansas resolutions was a strong hint.
Perhaps he will take it and be satisfied.
RBlaine & Butler.— The New York
Herald considers that Blaine allowed
himself, iu the closing hours of Con
gress, to be completely out-generaled
by Butler, and hence, as a Presiden
tial aspirant, has sunk out of sight.

CONGRESSIONAL.
New Senators Sworn In. Morton Tries
to Edge in Pinchback, but Fails
Disastrously. Orgauizati on of the
New Senate.
Washington, March s.—Senate— At
no time since inauguration day was
there such a crowd present as there
was this morning, to witness the open
ing of the extra session of the Senate
and the swearing in of the new Sena
tors. The weather was disagreeable
and a severe snow storm prevailed,
but the ladies were not deterred. The
galleries were filled with ladies long
before the hour of meeting. By li
o’clock it was impossible to obtain
standing room even in the door
ways. Upon tho floor of the Sen
ate carious visitors were hunting
the seats of Andrew Johnson,
Gen. Burnside and other prominent
Senators who were to be sworn in. Upon
the desk of Andrew Johnson, on the
Democratic side of the chamber, as
well as upon that of Senator Dawes,
on the Republican side, were handsome
boquets.
Burnside, as he entered the chamber,
was greeted with a round of applause
by the galleries. Andrew Johnson did
not make his appearance until after
the meeting of the Senate. When he
was called up to take the oath he was
greeted with applause which was
soon checked by the Vice-Presi-
dent. At twelve o’clock, Vice-Presi
dent Wilson called the Senate to
order. The chaplain, in the opening
prayer, invoked the Divine blessing
upon the Senate, saying : “As these
Senators are assembled here to com
mence anew chapter in the history of
this body, give to each of them life,
health and strength, and in all their la
bois and responsibilities may they lean
upon Thv arm for support.”
Maj. McDonald, Chief Clerk, then
read the proclamation of the President
convening the Senate in session, after
which the Vice-President directed him
to call the names of new Senators. As
they were called they advanced to the
Vioe-Presi lent’s desk, and were sworn
in in groups of three or four, as follows:
Bayard of Delaware, Bruce of Mis
sissippi, Burnside of Rhode Island,
Cameron of Wisconsin, Christiancy of
Michigan, Dawes of Massachusetts,
Eaton of Connecticut, Edmunds of Ver
mont, Hamlin of Maine, Johnson of
Tennessee, Kern an of New York, Me-
MillaD,of Minnesota,McDonald of Indi
ana, Paddock of Nebraska, Randolph
of New Jersey, Thurman of Ohio, Wal
lace of Pennsylvania, Whyte of Mary
land, Caperton of West Virginia, Coek
erill of Missouri, Jones of Florida,
Maxev of Texas, and Withers of Vir
ginia, the last named five taking the
modified oath, they having been engag
ed in the Confederate cause.
After the new Senators were sworn in,
Morton offered his resolutions acknowl
edging the Kellogg government in
Louisiana, and for the admission of
Pinchback as Senator from that State.
They were laid over. He gave notice
that he would call up the latter per
haps on Monday.
The new Senators were nearly all
escorted to tho Vice-President’s desk
by their colleagues. After the oath had
been administered to Johnson, a hand
some boquet was handed to him by a
Page, with whom it had been left by
some friend of the ex-President.
Messrs. Booth, of California, and Sha
ron, of Nevada, not having reached the
city did not respond when theii names
were called. After administering tho
oath of office, Vice-President Wilson
shook hands with each Senator.
The new Senators having all been
sworn in and seated, Anthony submit
ted an order that the daily hour of
meeting should be' 12 o’clock. Agreed
to.
Edmunds submitted a resolution
providing for the appointment of a
committee of two Senators to await
upon the President and inform him
that a quorum had assembled and that
the Senate was ready to receive any
communication from him. Messrs.
Edmunds and Stevenson were appoint
ed as the committee.
Morton, of Indiana, submitted tho
following, which was read and laid
over:
Resolved by the Senate, That the gov
ernment now existing in Louisiana
and represented by Wm. P. Kellogg as
Governor, is the lawful government of
said State, and that it is Republican in
form and that every assistance neces
sary to sustain its proper and lawful
authority in said State should be
given by the United States when
properly called for that purpose, to the
end that the laws may be faithfully
and promptly executed, life and proper
ty protected and defended and all vio
lators of the law, State or National,
brought to speedy punishment for
their crimes.
Ho also offered the following :
Resolved, That P. B. S. Pinchback be
admitted as Senator from the State of
Louisiana, for the term of six years,
beginning on the 4th of March, 1873.
He asked that it be laid on the table,
and gave notice that he would call it
up for consideration at an early day,
perhaps Monday.
Anthony moved that when the Senate
adjourn to-day it be to meet on Mon
day next.
Hamlin, of Maine, said the Senate
might as well meet to-morrow. It was
well known that there was a necessity
for recognizing the committees, and it
might as well be done this week as next.
The motion of Anthony was agreed to.
On motion of Frelinghuysen, at 12:20
o’clock the Senate took a recess until 1
o’clock.
Upon reassembling at that hour, Ed
munds, from the committee to wait
upon the President, reported that they
had done that duty, and the President
replied that he woul communicate with
the Senate on Monday.
Adjourned until Monday.

The Michigan delegation called upon
Senator Christiancy this evening, and
in a short conversation he said he had

Getting Gold Under Difficulties.
Chezenne, March s.—Two members
of the Black Hills expedition reached
Fort Laramie on a small sled drawn by
an ox. They were two days without
food. One member of the expedition
died. They report gold, but weather
too severe for prospecting.
Vessels Ashore.
Boston, March s.—The Italian bark
Giovanni Palmero, for Boston was
wrecked on Cape Cod. Sixteen were lost
Only the steward was saved. Six or
seven vessels are ashore between Sandy
Neck and Sandivict.
At sunset Thursday night the stew
ard and carpenter got on a plank and
tried to reach the shoro. The former
was saved and the latter sunk in the
surf. At 11 o’clock the vessel’s main
and mizzen mast went by the board,
breaking up her deck in the fall, and
one hour later her cargo began wash
ing ashore.
At daylight this morning two men
were discovered on planks between the
vessel and the shore, and five more
were clinging to the foretop, which
still remains standing. One after an
other they released their hold and
dropped in the sea to be seen no more.
The life-saving boats made every ef
fort in their power to rescue them,
but it was of no avail, the bombs with
which tho stations are provided being
utterly worthless, and no shot could
be thrown to the vessel four hundred
yards from the shore. Her cargo and
fragments of the hull line the shore
for miles. The vessel is fast breaking up.
Dead.
Philadelphia, March 5. —Geo. W
Morris, a noted surgeon, is dead.
SPECIAL NOTICES.
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.Sehenck’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. Sehenek’s Almanac, containing the certi
ficates of many persons of the highest respec
tability, who liavo been restored to health,
after being pronounced incurable by physi
cians of acknowledged ability. Selienck’s
Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as
these evidences will show; but tho cure is
often promoted by the employment of two
other remedies which Dr. Schenck provides
for tho purpose. These additional remedies
are Schenek’s Sea Weed Tonic and Man
drake Pills. By the timely use of those medi
cines. according to directions, Dr. ScSonck
certifies that most any case of Consumption
may bo cured.
Dr. Schenck is professionally at his princi
pal office, corner Sixth and Arch streets,
Philadelphia, every Monday, where all letters
for advice must be addressed.

CAUTION!
X r IS IMPORTANT to Planters to keep in
mind that SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO
is brought into market by the Pacific Gu
ano Company only, and that it must not be
confounded with any other Fertilizer to
which a similar name has been given, with
the prefix of any manufacturer’s name,
such, for example, as A. D. or S.'s Soluble
Pacific Guano. All such are encroachments
upon the legal trade mark of the Pacific
Guano Company, and are calculated to de
ceive consumers desiring the Soluble Pa
cific Guano. Hence we caution Planters, in
ordering supplies, to procure it from the
Agents of the Company, or give specific di
rections to their Factors to that effect.
The name of John S. Reese & Cos., General
Agents, fcc., is branded on the sacks of all
genuine'Soluble Pacific Guano, which is
the distinguishing mark.
