THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 1875.
UNITY OF RACE.
There has been some discussion in
the Chronicle and Sentinel, by outside
contributors to that paper, on the sub
ject of race unity. All who are inter
ested in such a theme can find it
handled in a masterly manner in “Cot
ton is King,” “The Races of Man” by
Nott and Gliddon, |and very tren
chantly and satisfactorily in Dr. Van
Evkie’s work entitled “ White Supremacy
and Negro Subordination.” In the first
named volume, Hammond, Bledsoe,
Cartwright, and other learned writers
have discussed the subject in its moral,
Biblical and scientific views. The joint
work of Knott and Gliddon is mainly
scientific, but easily comprehended.
Van Evrie’s volume is a popular
summary of facts, powerfully pre
sented. We may say that these
works have convinced us that the doc
trine of unity of race is untenable. We
do not believe in it at all, and, if time
permits us, we shall, for the , public
benefit, give at length a condensation
of the arguments by which conviction
has been forced upon us. We think a
number of pious gentlemen have been
misled in advocating race unity by
hide-bound interpretations of Holy
Writ. This is evidently the case with
the editor of the New York Indepen
dent, who permits a correspondent to
write thus:
The speech of our country is that the
whites are the superior race and the blacks
the inferior. Until this speech is forgotten
and becomes deader than Hebrew or San
scrit there will be no peace to our land
under the amended Constitution. Nor
ought there to be. Let that speech be true,
and the grossest outrage has been perpe
trated, not only against the men of the
South, but against the men of the North as
well. Aye, against the race has the out
rage been committed. Still more. Let it
be true, and not only has an outrage been
perpetrated upon a nation and a race, but
an attempt has been made to break over a
fiat of God—an attempt to rob the leopard
of his spots, the Ethiop of his skin. • But is
it true ? We say it is not.
Quoting which, and accepting the
challenge conveyed in the last sentence,
the New York Dag Book replies :
The Independent is logical, sensible, per
haps even honest! It says in substance,
if the negro is not of the same origin or
species with ourselves, then all that has
been done or sought to be done since Lin
coln’s election is false,monstrous, impious
and sinful. Well, how is the truth to be
proven ? Of course by our senses. Here
stands a negro black while wo are white,
and stripping off his skin, our senses show
us that in the tout ensemble of his being, in
the single drop of blood or elementary
atoms, the difference is just as broad, uni
form, universal and everlasting as the
color. If black then is black and is not
white, we know by the senses just as abso
lutely that the negro is specifically different
from us as we know by the same means
that the crow is specifically different from
the eagle. But we may know this tremend
ous truth more absolutely than we can
know that eagles and crows are different
species of bird kind. Nothing is more ab
solutely certain than that the more exten
sively varieties of ■ the same species are
crossed or their blood intermingled, is the
vitality, energy and potency of the proge
ny—thus, were the negro of the same spe
cies with ourselves, the greatest possible
benefit to all, would needs be rapid and
universal miscegenation with negroes.
Will the Independent, will Beecher, Grant,
Tilton, or “ any other man,” say that he
believes in universal miscegnation, or in
other words, that he honestly believes the
negro belongs to the .same race or species
with himself?
That is an argumentum ad hominem
too plain to be misunderstood. Sad in
deed must be the plight of a contro
versialist who resorts to Livingston to
prove that climate has made the negro
black, and that Europeans discover
that their own hair and complexions
are affected by a burning sun. If a
Caucasian could by any absurd pos
sibility be changed into a negro by
long residence in Africa, it ought to be
within range of possibility that a negro
could have his hair and skin changed
by a residence in Canada. But no such
nonsense is ever accomplished, and the
upshot of the whole theory of unity
of race has, so far, been the degrada
tion of the superior, and in many cases
the practical extermination of the in
ferior.
Massachusetts. —The Baltimore Sun
has been diving into the statistics of
the old Bay State and fishes up the fol
lowing infoimation : “The cost to the
State last year of its paupers and poor
children was more than $300,000 ; the
city of Boston alone paid nearly $200,-
000 in addition, and the 240 towns and
cities added $900,000 more, making sl,-
400,000. The total cost of the annual
support of paupers and the defective
classes is estimated to be $2,500,000,
and the whole number of persons re
ceiving public support, in one way or
another, is about 65,000. It is thought
that about one-half of these are native
born, but there are no statistics to de
termine.”
Civil Rights. —-The Nashville Union
and American calls attention to the
fact that the last section of the Civil
Rights bill allows any case under it to
be appealed to the Federal Supreme
Court, and as it will require two or
three years to hear from that tribunal,
no judgment of any inferior court can
be enforced in the meantime. The
whites may be horribly annoyed by thg
attempted operation of the law, but the
negro plaintiffs will never get the thou
sands of dollars promised them.
Third Term. —The Utica Herald
(Rep.) says:
If the third term'question is left in its
present uncertain status until the Fall, we
do not hesitate to predict that the Republi
can party will not carry a single one of*
the States which will then vote.
If that be true, Grant and his third
term aspirations are killing the Radi
cal party, and, by parity of reasoning,
all Democrats who obstruct the nomi
nation of Grant are weakening their
own chances of victory in 1876.
Cool. —The papers everywhere are
rebuking Congress for appropriating
$50,000 for the discovery of the North
Pole, when that sum judiciously dis
tributed in almost any city in the Union
would save unhappy wretches from
want, suicide, starvation or shame.
Sumner. —The friends of Sumner are
preparing a monument for him and
boasts of the whiteness of its marble.
The New York Day Book rebukes this
inconsistency thus :
It was only when black was introduced—
the almighty negro referred to—that he
aroused himself, and then came that le
markable oration on the “barbarism of
slavery,” the “ crimes of Kansas,’’ the
“horrors of the fugitive slave law,” &c.,
that so excited the old women at the North
and tickled the enemies of Democracy
abroad. No—give him his due; let his ser
vices to the cause of darkness be duly hon
ored in marble, but be consistent, and get
the blackest marble that even Vermont can
furnish.
We agree with the Day Book that
Sumner’s tombstone should be of his
favorite color.
Dead. —A Kentuckian killed himself
in New Orleans, the other day, because
of matrimonial infelicity, The Picayune
reporter, describing .the room of the
suicide, says.
On the table was an edition of the morn
ing’s Picayune, in which the deceased had
been reading the Beecher-Tiltox scand
dal. On the mantlepiece was a dilapidated
picture of Beecher, and one of Charley
Ross, the kidnapped boy.
The bad behavior of a wife combined
with a daily perusal of the Beecher-
Tilton and Charley Ross affairs would
drive any ordinary man to self-destruc
tion.
Duty and Policy. —The Richmond
Dispatch says:
No public man is worthy to be trusted
who sacrifices his sense of duty to policy.
A man cannot bo authorized by honor and
conscience to violate his sense of duty. He
may resign; but he cannot disobey his duty
without being a traitor to honor.
A true sentiment well expressed and
worthy of being remembered.
Canada. —The revenue of Canada is
$3,000,000 in excess of expenses. Taxes
are light and the necessities of life
cheap. The Baltimore Gazette thinks
any Canadian a fool who wants his
province annexed to the United States.
The Bounty Bill. —The President’s
refusal to sign Logan’s disreputable
buncombe Bounty Bill has caused
much wrath among the extreme Radi
cals. They say that he and hts third
term have gone to h —ll, as he has by
this act lost the soldier’s vote.
Good enough !
Shelby. —The Union ,and American
denies that the Shelby county delega
tion voted for Andrew Johnson, under
the influence of palm grease.
Slow. —The N. O. Times complains
that the Washington telegraphic dis
patches are not what they ought to be.
A. J.—Senator Andrew Johnson has
been so cordially received by the Radi
cal Senators that he lias abated his
desire to “ make Rome howl.”

WASHINGTON.
The Cotton Tax—The Congressional
Committees—Nominations.
Washington, March 7.—The Commit
tee on the Judiciary of the Senate, to
whom was referred the petition of citi
zens of De Soto county, Mississippi,
praying the return of taxes assessed
and collected on cotton for the years
1865,1866,1867,1868, and 1869, respect
fully report that the petition of citizens
o£ De Soto county, Miss., asks the re
turn of the tax on cotton for the years
1865 to 1869 inclusive, on the grounds
that the tax was unjust and oppressive,
and because it was unconstitutional.
The Government of the United States
has been obliged to raise a large
amount by taxation to defray the ex
penses of the recent war. The pro
perty and industries at the North
have been heavily taxed, and as cot
ton constituted the principal wealth
of the South, the committee see,
no reason why a tax upon it
should be considered unjust or
oppressive. The cotton tax has been
claimed to be unconstitutional for the
following reasons : First, because it is
equivalent to a direct tax, and is not
laid according to population. When
the Constitution was framed the larger
States were careful to provide that a
dfrect tax should be according to popu
lation, for fear that a tax upon land by
the acre might impose large and un
equal burdens on them. Hence, the
Constitution, article one, section two,
provides that direct taxes shall be ap
portioned among the several States
according to an enumeration made
every ten years. But the cotton tax is
not a direct or a land tax ; it is a tax
on the productions of land ; it is an ex
cise on cotton, severed from the land in
bale and by the pound, becond, the
tax is claimed to be unconstitutional,
because it is not uniform. The eighth
section of article one provides that all
excises shall be uniform throughout
the United States. This tax is uniform ;
it is the same whether the cotton be in
Maine or in Louisiana.
The fact that cotton is grown at the
South and not at the North creates no
want of uniformity, any more than the
fact that manufacturers are found at
the North more than at the South ren
ders a tax on the products of the
Northern mechanic partial and local.
Any one can raise cotton, and as a
matter pf fact Northern capital is in
vested in its production. The excise is
uniform. Third, it is said the tax is
unconstitutional, because it is a tax on
exports.
The ninth section of article one pro
vides that no tax or duty shall be laid
on articles exported from any State.
The fact that any article may be or is
largely exported does not make the
article an exported article. This is
simply a tax on cotton. The object of
the Constitution was to prohibit a tax
on exportation, and this tax is not
that. The committee therefore recom
mend that the petition is not allowed.
The Committee of the Republican
Senatorial caucus has not completed
the list of standing committees, but the
Democrats have been informed that
will be allowed three members on
"the committees of nine and two on the
committees of seven.
Where Senators hold over the chair
manships remain unchanged.
Chairmanships of the Committees of
Commerce, Post Office and Post Roads,
Public Lands, Indian Affairs, Pensions,
Revolutionary Claims. District of Co
lumbia Claims, Territories, Railroads,
Education and Labor, aud Contingent
Expenses, are vacant.
For these the chairman will be named
from the next highest on the commit
tees. These changes may place Bout
well Chairman of the Bivil Service and
Retrenchment, and may give the chair
manship of the Committee on Com
merce to Spencer, of .Alabama, al
though he may be assigned to be chair-
man of the District of Oblumbia Com
mittee, which will give t hat important j
place on Commerce to C( mkling. Should
the plan indicated be carried out, West
of Louisiana, will be ch airman of the
Committee on Railroads.
It is said that Auditor Martin, for
Postmaster at Montgomery, and Con
gressman Sheats, for Auditor, are on
the President’s list of nominations.
Congressman Buffington, ol Mas
sachusetts, is dead.
The Secretary of the Treasury will,
this week, issue a call for the thirty
million bonds on account of the sink
ing fund, under the act of March 3d,

cases ninety days after the call, but it
is understood that the bonds, with ac
crued interest, will be paid on presen
tation any time after the call.

cess to inquire into the wants and ca
pacities of the inhabitants of the coun

motions.
The Attorney General, in an official
communication, says that investiga
tions into the conduct of Felix Bran
nagan, Attorney, and Leroy Brown,
Marshal of the Southern District of
Mississippi, has led to the appointment
of anew Marshal, and that investiga
tions and proceedings will probably
eventuate in anew District Attorney.
The charges are malversation in office
and inci ease of expenses for their own
benefit.
Henry S. Glover will be nominated
Postmaster at Macon, Ga.
The caucus heard the report of its

changes.
The following chairmen may be con
sidered as settled : Conkling, of Com
me*ce ; Hamlin, of Postoffice and Post
roads ; Wright, of Claims; Spencer, of

Senators who hold over, are unchanged.
Louisiana Affairs.
The following is authorized: Mr.
Wheeler received this morning from
New Orleans his articles of adjustment,
signed by forty four members of
the Conservative caucus, —an ample
number to secure the desired result.
He at once telegraphed Governor
Kellogg to forward by express to the
city of New York, the papers now in
the office of the Secretary of State
which were used in the contested cases
before the Returning Board in Novem
ber last. The referees will meet on
Thursday next at the office of the Hon.
Wm. Walter Phelps, in the city of
New York, and proceed with the hear
ing.
Gov. Hebert, of Louisiana, had an in
terview with the President to-day. The
conversation was of a colloquial char
acter. Gov. Hebert represents the
President s tone as kindly toward the
entire South, and he seems disposed to
do any thing in his power to secure
them justice and give them quiet.
The President wished to know
whether the South would abide by rea
sonable arrangements. Gov. Herbert
assured the President there was no
, doubt of it.

Boston, March B.—lt is estimated that
the heavy snow throughout New
Hampshire will obstruct twelve to fif
teen hundred votes.
Concord, N. H., March B.—The politi
cal campaign in this State has been
conducted with unexampled vigor for
the past week, and on the eve of the
election a careful canvass of the situa
tion shows that both parties are confi
dent of electing their candidates, the
Republicans claiming the Governor and
two out of three Congressmen. The
majorities, however, wiil be small, and
it is freely predicted by impartial ob
servers that, as in last year, there will
be no choice for Governor by rhe peo
ple.
A Manchester dispatch says great
excitement has prevailed there to-day,
on the streets and in political circles,
in consequence of the threats of the
Republicans to call in the aid of the
United States authorities, and the ac
tual presence there of a United States
Marshal. •
The excitement grows out of the fact
that several hundreds of aliens from
different parts of the State have been
naturalized before the Police Court of
the city during the past few weeks,
under late laws passed by the Legisla
ture.

Boston. March 7. — A dispatch from
Highland Light, Cape Cod, says the
debris of the hull and cargo of the
wrecked vessel Giovanna, have been
sold for S3OO. The valuable part of the
cargo, wine, &c„ was appropriated by
the banditti on the beach, where at one
time the life of no one was safe. Men
held their drunken orgies without
limit, and either killed themselves or
were murdered by their frenzied com
panions. Yesterday the body of an
Irishman was found on the beach sur
rounded by empty bottles, and with
most of the clothing torn off it. Two
others are reported to be dead on the
beach, and a fourth reched Province
town, but will die from the effects of
his debauch.
The Captain of the Giovanni washed
ashore with seven of the crew.

strongly admonishing the former
against illegal ritualistic practices which
tend to isolate the clergy from the peo

GENTLEMEN— In reply to your inquiry in regard to the result from the use of your
Chemicals for making the HOME MADE FERTILIZER, I will say that I uped,
last year, 26 barrels, and I feel satisfied that I never used any Commerc al Fertilizer

i as Commercial Fertilizers. You will please send me fifty barrels of your CHEMICALS
for my next crop. Yours truly, (Signed) J. J. MORRIS.

for making the HOME MADE FERTILIZER, upon reasona
