THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1875.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
The check received by the Demo
cracy in New Hampshire may prove a
salutary one. There were many of our
party who took for granted that the
Republican organization had played
their last trump, and that the great
game of 1876, was as good as won al
ready. Such over-confidence usually
precedes a rebuff, and is calculated to
lead to many grievous errors ending in
bitterest disappointment. We say,
then, while the Republicans will no
doubt gain fresh courage from the
New Hampshire election, the Demo
cracy should reap benefit too, by un
derstanding that the Republicans are
still full of resources and that it will re
quire all the Democrats can do to hurl
them finally and absolutely from
power. When Thejiistocles had driven
the Persian hordes to the Helles
pont, rash men advised him to destroy
the bridge over that stream. His re
ply has become historical: “ Instead
of cutting off absolutely the retreat of
a still terrible foe, we should build a
golden bridge for a flying enemy.”
There will be many changes before 1876
and the Republican party is already
re-organizing its shattered ranks. How
possible such an achievement is, let the
New Hampshire election instruct us.
The present effort of the leading
spirits of the Radical faction is to
shape their policy toward reform.
What Grant would not do or could not
do, they will attempt, and that is the
unloading of monstrosities. A New
York correspondent of the Charleston
News and Courier has an ingenious
presentation of this change of front
and its possible consequences. Enum
erating the conservative Republicans
who propose to lead the party in future,
he says:
If such men as these could obtain control
of the party, undoubtedly they would se
cure the nomination of Mr. Blaine next
year for the Presidency, and the Democracy
would have a much harder fight before
them than they otherwise would. But the
difficulty that lies in the way of the ac
complishment of this programme is the
opposition of President Grant, who is him
self a candidate for renomination, and who
has definitely cast his lot with the extrem
ists. Grant is practically master of the
Republican organization by reason of his
control of the Government patronage. It
will be no more difficult for him to pack the
next National Convention of the Republi
can party with his office-holders than it
was to pack the last one. The carpet-bag
element of the South is his, and can give
him from one hundred and twenty to one
hundred and thirty votes in the Convention.
He needs but fifty more, and Conkling and
Cameron can supply him those from New
York and Pennsylvania. Grant, there
fore, is able to dictate the next Republican
nominee for the next Presidency, and if he
feels that his own chances with the people
are hopeless, he can name Conkling or
Elihtt Washburne. But he surely will
not name Blaine, whom he dislikes, not
only because the Maine statesman used
his influence against the Force bill and the
Arkansas project, but because he has been
associated in the public mind for some
time with the Republican nomination for
the Presidency. Failing to obtain the mas
tery of the party organization, several
courses will be opened to Mr. Blaine and
those who sympathise with him. One will
be to give way to Grant and go
with the current; another to acquiesce
with a protest and retire for a time
from active participation in party bus
iness, and another to bolt and make
themselves the nucleus of anew par
ty. It is difficult to speculate upon the
probabilities in this connection. The fu
ture of the moderate Republicans will have
to be developed by the events of the next
twelve months. Certainly it seems as if
they are likely to be placed in a peculiarly
perplexing predicament. They cannot
wrest the lead in the party from Grant,
they cannot consistently go with him in
his policy of violence and centralization,
and they cannot well afford to abandon the
Republican organization for the fate of
Trumbull, Schurz, Curtin and Fenton
warns them of the fate of independency.
They can go over, of course, to the Democ
racy as Doolittle, Blair and Gov. Pal
mer did and obtain prominent positions,
but it is to be doubted if they are ready for
that yet.
The Democratic opportunity, there
fore, lies in a division of the Republi
can party between Grant and Blaine.
We can by personal assaults upon the
President heal this breach to our man
ifest disadvantage, or we can, by prop
er prudence and strategy, make it ir
reparable. The vicissitudes of the fu
ture may make Grant, willingly or un
willingly, our most potent ally. He
may determine to compel his own re
nomination or the dictation of a suc
cessor. Large and influential ele
ments of the Republicans will resist
this. In case of their success, Grant
may find it convenient to run inde
pendently and thus, without an abso
lute Democratic alliance, revenge him
self upon his recalcitrant followers. It
is not “ reasoning curiously to reason
thus ; ’ and we submit to men of sense
that no stone should be left unturned
to insure the defeat of the Republican
candidate in 1876, and that it will re
quffe all the adroitness of Democracy
and its allies to accomplish that desir
able feat.
Ice. —The Louisiana Ice Company
seems to be in a healthy condition. The
report of the directory shows the fol
lowing facts : “ The production of ice
was 12,450 tons, and sales 8,180 tons.
Stock on hand, 4,287 tons. The sales
of ice during the year netted 8117,792.36;
the disbursements were §94,686.93,
leaving a net profit of §23,105.43. The
profit and loss account shows that earn
ings for the season have been §39,075.43,
estimating the 1,597 tons of ice increase
in stock at §lO per ton. The total as
sets of the company are §455,432.64,
and the liabilities, §427,185.24. The
stock account is §412,000.”
Speakers. —Somebody has examined
the record and finds out that only two
Speakers have been longer in the chair
than Mr. Blaine. Henry Clay served
in the 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th and'
18th Congresses. Andrew Stephenson.
of Virginia, was Speaker of the 20th,
21st, 22d and 23d Congresses. Two
Speakers have served equal terms
with Mr. Blaine—Nathaniel Macon, of
North Carolina, who served in the 7th,
Bth and 9th Congresses, and ex-Vice-
President Schuyler Colfax, who
served in the .38th, 39th and 40th Con
gresses.
TAX AND TARIFF.
The New York World has a grim ar
ray of figures to prove that the poor
est and most industrious people of this
country have to shoulder the largest
part of the tax burden. It is shown
that, during fourteen years of Repub
lican supremacy, the net revenue of
.the Government for the fiscal year 1874
was over §299,000,000, of which over
§265,500,000 was derived from customs
and internal revenue. Of this amount
sugar and molasses produced §34,800,-
000 ; woolen goods, §32,300,000 ; whis
key (internal revenue), §43,000,000, and
tobacco and cigars, §31,000,000, &c. At
least 90 per cent, of the important ar
ticles taxed is paid by the industrial
classes.
The Chicago Tribune, a Republican
paper, is especially severe upon the
newly regulated tariff. Hear this :
It proposed a gigantic robbery—an an
nual dividend of thirty or forty millions of
dollars to one class, a cash bonus of 20
cents a gallon to every holder or owner of
whiskey; a cash bonus of 4to 5 per cent, on
the value of all the woolen, cotton, paper,
iron and steel, lead, tin, zinc, copper, and
other metal goods, aud on manufactures of
glass, in store in the country. The bill had
the support of every whiskey distiller in
the United States and of all the owners of
spirits. It added $10,000,000 cash to the
value of the whiskey on hand, and exempt
ed it from taxation. All this class of per
sons, and they are numerous in every Con
gressional District, were represented on
the floor of both Houses of Congress urging
and pushing this bill.
The sugar-refiners, in whose interest the
people of the country have been unmerci
fully taxed for 14 years, were present urg
ing this bill. This class of persons are
among the wealthiest and most pampered
by protection in the country. This bill
proposes to add to the annual tax on sugar
$30,000,000, of which $3,000,000 are to be paid
to the United States and the other $22,000,-
000 to the sugar-refiners. They were re
presented in both Houses of Congress by
their attorneys acting as members.
Every one who was represented in this
gigantic scheme of robbery was represent
ed ; but the people, who are to be robbed,
had few members to speak a word in their
behalf.
This bill was carried by the earnest
appeals of the President and his Cabi
net, and carried, too, by a single vote.
It is a purely Republican and Adminis
tration measure, only one Democrat
voting for it. The Tribune should con
sider that the political doctrines it has
taught so persistently have brought
the country to such a pass that the
people have to be burdened with new
taxes when they can least afford it, or
else the Government become bankrupt.
The payment of bounties to New Eng
land and the non-taxation of United
States bond-holders have ground the
working classes into ponder. The
overthrow of the industrial system of
the South, and the war upon this sec
tion since 1865, have at last begun to
react upon the East and West. When
the workingmen once get their eyes
open to the monstrous frauds practic
ed upon them since 1860-’6l, there will
be such a rattling of dry-bones as
never was known in the world before.
The Inevitable Butler.— The death
of Representative Buffington, of Mas
sachusetts, leaves a vacancy to be filled
by anew election prior to the meeting
of the next Congress. It is thought that
Ben Butler will pop up again at Wash
ington through Buffington’s exit.
Apropos of this, the Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun thus
speaks : “ A few days before the #ad
journment of Congress, Gen. Butler,
who was displeased by the conserva
tive course of his colleague on the Force
bill and other partisan measures, went
over to his seat and said: ‘Buff., if
you don’t behave yourself, I will move
over in your district and beat you.’
This remark was half in joke and half
in earnest. Mr. Buffington regarded
it as more of the latter, and spoke to
several of his friends about it, not for
getting that Gen. Butler was not a res
ident of the Essex District when first
elected to represent it in Congress. To
day it is said by friends of Gen. Butler
that his remark, even if meant as a
joke at the time, will now probably be
realized in a way not then anticipated.
They 3ay that he will now move over
to the Fall River District and endeavor
to secure the nomination.”
The same correspondent revives the
fact that in the Greeley campaign of
1872 Mr. S. S. Cox, of New York, who
ran for Congress at Large on the Dem
ocratic ticket, was defeated. Then,
when Mr. James Brooks died, Mr. Cox
was elected in his stead. The first tilt
that Gen. Butler had with Mr. Cox
after this he taunted him with standing
in the shoes of a dead man. It would be
somewhat of a coincidence if Mr. Cox
should be able to retort in kind next
Winter..
Precious little does B. B. care whose
shoes he stands in so he gets back to
Congress.
Minerva’s Bird. —A singular incident
related by the local press of Wash
ington city, thus : “As if Providence
had doubts of the assembled wisdom
of the Supreme Court, the other day
o%e of these meditative birds suddenly
appeared in their midst. It came down
the chimney and perched itself at the
right-hand of the Chief Justice without
saying a word, and there it sat all day,
blinking, winking, and gravely listening
to stupid pleas, nodding comfortably
between times, and altogether perform
ing the duties of the bench with due
decorum. No one disturbed the new
associate, but when the other owls
walked up at evening, and went home,
he, too, shook off the dust of ages and
went up the chimney. An attendant
immediately stopped up the fire-place,
and put up a notice, “ No outside owls
hereafter permitted in the Supreme
Court chambers.”
Telegraph Poles. —The City Council
of Baltimore has ordered the removal
i of telegraph poles from the sidewalks,
within six months. The underground
system is progressing in favor and
ought to be universally adopted.
It is a very common thing in this
city to see an old party walking home
very straight at about 2 o’clock in the
morning, and another common thing,
too, is to hear somebody, after this old
man has staggered into the house, yel
ling "Lemme up, old woman, lemme
up!”
A FLANK MOVEMENT.
The city man complains that the
country man evades the payment of
his just debts by claiming the protec
tion of homestead exemption; while
the country man retorts that the city
man is equally prompt to transfer his
property to his wife, or somebody else,
when there is clanger of a crash, or
long before such a catastrophe is im
minent. In the North, this transfer of
property scheme is employed not only
to shield merchants from their regular
business liabilities, but also for the
purpose of evading taxes. The abuse
has become so monstrous that the New
Jersey Legislature has put a bill upon
passage which, if it becomes a law,
will go far toward checking one of the
greatest evils of the time. The bill im
poses a fine “not exceeding §5,000 and
imprisonment for a term of not more
than one year upon any person who
shall transfer his property to avoid
taxes, or who shall encumber his estate
for the purpose of claiming a deduc
tion for debts.”
It appears that the presentment of
grand juries finally forced this matter
upon the Legislature. It is said that
many wealthy citizens have been caught
dodging the taxes by converting their
property into United States bonds, at
convenient seasons for so doing.
The action of the New Jersey Legis
lature will be watched with interest on
this subject.
Gas. —The People’s Gas Company, of
Chicago, having signified the intention
of borrowing §2,000,000 in England,
the Chicago Tribune contrived to ob
tain possession of the documents re
vealing the status of the Company up
on which the loan was to be based. It
is stated, in effect, that the Company
was incorporated in 1849, but did not
do much until 1861. Then it went to
work in good earnest, as the following
report of the net income for the last
four years will show : 1869, §230,715 ;
1871, §301,135 ; 1873, §388,770; 1870,
§422,000.
Commenting upon which the Cincin
nati Gazette says: “ A little of this
stock would be a handy thing to have
about the house. The gas is some
times bad but the dividends are excel
lent.”
New Hampshire.— The comparative
figures of last year’s election in New
Hampshire run in this wise: The vote
for Governor was : Democratic, 35,578;
Republican, 34,138 ; Prohibitionist, 2,-
097. A majority vote is required to
