THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
SUNDAY, MARCH 14, 1875.
NOT INSIGNIFICANT.
Slight as the check to Democracy
was in New Hampshire, it has consid
erable significance for the future. The
general impression is that the tidal
wave of last Fall should have shown no
signs of abatement, this Spring, more
especially as the Republican party, up to
the very adjournment of Congress, had
furnished so many opportunities for
the to improve their advan
tages. The New York Herald finds
some explanation of this check in the
fact that Democrats in several States
where they became dominant have
not been all that the people hoped for.
As to New York the Herald speaks
emphatically as follows:
There is no improvement either in the
State government or the city government.
The State Executive and city Executive got
once into a muddle and are so at logger
heads as to create a notorious deadlock be
tween Albany and New York, which turns
the “ home rule ” of their platform into de
rision. The Governor refuses to approve
the Mayor’s removal of Corporation Coun
sel Smith because he wishes to control the
appointment of Mr. Smith’s successor—a
matter in which the law gives him no
shadow of authority to intermeddle. The
Mayor wants to get rid of Comptrollei
Green, but the Governor fears that his
consent would injure his Presidential pros-
pects, and “home rule” in this city is made
subordinate to the national campaign of
1876. The Mayor gets a chance to make an
independent appointment by the resigna
tion of Commissioner Van Nort„ and lie
illustrates his singular devotion to the
principle of “home rule” by importing a
resident of New Jersey to dispense the
patronage of the most important office in
the city government. Instead of extending
his political view over the whole field of
national politics, as Governor Tilden
does in the interest of his personal ambi
tion, Mayor Wickham disregards “home
rule” and the broader interests of the party
by appointing a citizen of another State,
against whom the Republicans can plausi
bly say that he was disloyal to the Union
in a great crisis, and who rests under
the sentence of a court martial which dis
qualifies him for holding any office under
the United States. For our part, we have
no doubt that General Porter has been
hardly dealt with; but it is no part of the
duty of a Mayor of New York to redress
his grievances, especially when such an act
is certain to be pointed to all over the Union
as a proof of the sympathetic fellowship
of the Democratic party with men who are
a burden to be carried and not an accession
of strength. Mayor Wickham, of course,
did not reflect on the hostile partisan use
which could be made of such an appoint
ment, but it can nevertheless be wielded
with damaging effect against the Demo
cratic party.
We give these reasons of the Herald
for what they are worth. They no
doubt reflect the views of many people
and, in order to appreciate the.force of
them, we of the South must endeavor to
put ourselves in the places of men who,
whether right or wrong, have the same
prejudices and passions, on their side,
as we have on ours.
The Herald thinks, too, that the send
ing of Gen. Gordon to New Hampshire
was a capital blunder. It is, at all
events, an open question; and while
there was any doubt at all in the mat
ter, the safer plan was for our gallant
Senator to have stayed in. his seat at
Washington.
The fact is, tlieTess the South has to
do, in prominent participation, with the
and only too prone to fall into the hands
of wily New York Democrats, who,
with their humbug and fine feasts,
have intoxicated many* of our chief
men. These “ leaders ”in turn have
befooled the people, and, preparing
them for a grand triumph, hurled them
finally into the depths of despair by
defeat. There are too many Southern
men who lack judgment, and some of
them are unfortunately dazzled with
much praise, high honors and hopes of
preferment still greater. We had bet
ter beware lest the solid sound sense of
truly wise men be rejected for the glit
tering generalities and shallow bril
liancy of those who play upon our
emotions at the expense of our reason.
That ** Torpid.”— Some days ago we
published an account of Col. Tom Ochil
tree having been elected to the Presi
dency of the “ Torpid ” Club in New
York, and his fierce denunciation of
Grant, whose collar he had worn. The
Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Gazeiie furnishes a sequel to
that story. Here it is :
Some months ago Thomas P. Ochiltree
was suspended from office as United States
Marshal for the Eastern District of Texas
and his successor nominated. Ochiltree
came on to Washington and was appointed
clerk of the Committee on Education and
Labor, of which Senator Flanagan was
chairman. This gave Ochiltree the pri
vilege of the floor, and with the aid of
Flanagan he succeeded in defeating the
nomination of his successor. Under the
Tenure-of-Office act this gave the place to
and night before last he start
ed for Texas in high feather to take posses
sion. The President, however, sent in the
name of his successor a second time, and
yesterday he was confirmed and notified
of the fact by telegraph, so that when
Ochiltree reaches Texas he will find Mr.
Lemuel Evans in possession, and will have
had his long journey for nothing.
So the President of the “ Torpids,”
who was so swift to get office from
Republicans, after the war, and so ec
centric in its enjoyment, has had a
lightning flank for his foolishness and
double-dealing.
Gordon and Lamar. —The Washing
ton correspondence of the Cincinnati
Gazette has this paragraph :
There has been much talk concerning the
possible effect of sending Gens. Lamar and
Gordon, of the late Confederate army, to
stump a Northern State in favor of the old
Democracy, and there is strong conviction
among their party associates that it was
bad policy, and this belief has been rapidly
gaining ground among them to-day, that
perhaps, with all the signs of reaction
against the Republicans, which they have
been flattering themselves they clearly
saw, the North is not yet exactly ready for
this sort of thing. It has been the under
standing here that these same Confederate
officers, with some others, would be sent to
Connecticut next, but there is serious ques
tioning to-day among Democrats whether
they had not better withdraw from the
Northern field altogether, and that, if La
mab and Gordon cannot accomplish any
thing, none of the rest can, as they are the
most conservative and fair-minded of all.
They could not do a bit of good, and
may have done harm. Let the North
ern Democrats fight their own battle.
A MATRIMONIAL SLAVE.
A Californian, named Aborns, pub
lished the following card in a San Jose
paper:
“notice.
“All persons are hereby warned not to
trust Mart E. Aborns, (my wife,) as sho
has left my bed and board without just
cause or provocation, and I will not pay
any bill contracted by her from and after
this date. John Aborns.
“San Jose, Feb. 6,1875.
The wife’s reply to this notification
is so entirely unique that we give it
prominence. Such a calculation of
matrimonial slavery we have never
seen before and never expect to see
again ; but as something original and
pathetic, in the way of connubial
mathematics, it deserves all the noto
riety possible for the benefit of all whom
it may concern. Here is the docu
ment :
Why am I thus published to the world?
And what human being on earth has tho
right to do it? Let us look at the farts. I
have been the wife of John Aborns for
about ten years, and lived with him during
the whole of that time—the prime of my
lire. That makes 3,650 days. During that
time I have cooked about ten thousand
meals of victuals, set the table as many
times, and cleared it off and washed the
dishes. During the ten years, I have spent
between ten and fifteen thousand hours
over a hot cook stove, both in Summer and
Winter. I have cleaned up and swept the
house for him over ten thousand times.
During those ten years I have borno to him
six children, five of them now living, the
youngest two and a half years old. Be
sides the pains and accidents incident to
childbirth (which every mother knows),
what steps, cares and troubles (to say noth
ing of the sickness and anxious thoughts
for my children) it has cost me to bring
them up it is impossible for me to say; every
mother knows it better than sho can pos
sibly tell it. In addition to that, I have
made all their clothing (besides my own),
and during that time I have also made
clothing and done sewing for others for
money, which went into the “community”
funds; that Is, as I understand it, all the
property made by the husband and wife is
community property, but in reality belongs
to the husband, and it is called in law
“community property,” to take off the
sharp edge of injustice. More than
that, during these ten years I have
milked, on an average, three cows twice
a day, which will make about seven
thousand milkings, besides taking care of
the milk and making butter from it. I
have, during the whole of that time, at
tended to the poultry, and often have as
sisted Mr. Aborns in loading hay, sowing
sacks, and even cleaning out his stable.
Now, I have drawn the picture very mildly.
I have made allowances for my sicknesses,
when I have had help, something after the
way that a farmer would hire a horse, if
his own was sick and unable to work. I
had nothing when I went there, and noth
ing at the end of those ten years of servi
tude. I had lived,fit is true, and was very
moderately furnished with clothing. This
is all for my labor. What man is there ir
the world that would do the work I have
done for the same compensation ? I make
this statement, not out of any feeling of re
venge to Mr. Aborns, for he has done only
what hundreds of others would have done.
In many respects he is a good man; indus
trious, and, like hundreds—yea thousands
—of others, honest with everybody except
his own family. I choose to live with him
no longer; my reasons are ray own. And I
say again, what right has he to impair my
credit by publishing me ? In the name of
all that is just I solemnly protest against
it. Mary E. Aborns.
The bitterest thing, and no doubt the
most truthful, in the above protest is
the statement that the man was “ hon
est with everybody except his own
ter, whose published word cannot dis
credit a wife so abundantly able to an
swer his card.
UTILIZING RELIGION.
The Indiana Legislature passed a
bill called tho “Camp Meeting Bill,”
which was vetoed by Gov. Hendricks.
As some of the brethren were indig
nant at this Executive prohibition, the
Fort Wayne Sentinel throws a calcium
light on a job, which, under the guise
of religion, was nothing better than a
huge game of speculation. It says the
bill “provided that over fifteen per
sons could organize a camp meeting
association and hold an unlimited
amount of property for any length of
time free of taxation. All police powers
would also be given them. Nothing
would be easier under such a law as
the above than to make camp meeting
associations a ‘ fat thing,’ a sort of re
ligious ‘ bonanza,’ in fact. A few capi
talists could form an organization and
scoop In a section of rich land, hold it
free of taxes for any length of time,
realize 200 per cent, or so, and all un-
der the feint of holding shouting meet
ings once a year. It was not because
he wished to squelch that necessary
institution that Gov. Hendricks vetoed
the bill, but lest the original purpose
and object of camp meeting associa
tions should be prostituted to mere
selfish interests and personal aggrand
izement.” •
A more extraordinary attempt to
play the devil in the livery of heaven
we never heard of. Gov. Hendricks
deserves credit for exposing'this mon
strous fraud.
Pinch.— lt is said that Pinchback
threatens, in case of rejection, to ap
peal to his own race, and to tell them
that they have been sold and betrayed
in the house of their pretended friends.
We have no doubt that the Northern
Radicals are false friends of the black
men, just as they are betrayers of
Pinchback and his octoroon brethren.
As for Pinch appealing to “his race,”
that’s a phrase without a meaning. He
has not got any race.
A. Johnson. —Having disclaimed all
intention of “ making Rome howl,”
Andrew Johnson, alluding to his strug
gle for the Senatorship, says : “My
contest in Tennessee was a very inter
esting one, and a very significant one.
It was the fighting of Hood’s army
over again. There were many of his
generals and high officers, with my
pardons in their pockets, trying to
beat me as they tried during the war.
My triumph over such an opposition,
with the aid of the people, was most
gratifying.”
It seems that somebody has been
badly fooled.
Next.— Connecticut is the next State
on the election list. Voting for Gov
ernor, Legislature and Congressmen
will take place on the first Monday in
April.
A CRUMB OF COMFORT.
The New York Herald, after summing
up the causes operating in New Hamp
shire to insure a Democratic check,
thus concludes:
If the Republican party repudiates Grant
ism it has more than an even chance for
carrying the next Presidential election.
The Republicans of New Hampshire had
the sagacity to denounce the third term in
their platform, and Lf the party in other
States takes equal pains to separate its
political fortunes from the personal for
tunes of President Grant it may, perhaps,
recover in 1876 all it lost in 1874.
According to this presentation of the
case, the nomination of Grant by the
Republicans insures their defeat. If
such be a true presentation, why should
Democrats be so very eager to compel
Grant to repudiate a third term aspi
ration, seeing that this very ambition
is alleged to be the heaviest load car
ried by a party which the Democrats
so eagerly desire to overthrow ?
That Fire. —A Washington special to
the Chicago Times reports a fourth at
tempt to set the Navy Department on
fire, the incendiary selecting the room
adjoining that .vhere the accounts with
Jay Cooke, McCulloch & Cos. were kept,
which would sl.ow the truth of state
ments concerning Robeson’s loan of
$1,000,000 to that house to save it from
bankruptcy. The records in the latter
were tossed about tho floor and dam
aged with water by tho firemen, so that
many of them were rendered illegible.
The Latest. —The latest sensation is
that Senator Cameron, Tom Scott and
a party of capitalists will soon visit
Mexico for tho purpose of stirring up
trouble in the rich mining districts of
Sonora and Chihuahua. At the proper
time a big filibustering expedition will
start at a given signal—if it starts at
all.
Building Estimates. —We desire to
call attention to a very important com
munication, which appears in this
morning’s issue, upon the subject of
house building and expenses attending
the same. It is shown that the esti
mates of tho writer who is answered
are erroneous. Real estate, as an in
vestment, is not equal to loaning money
at 17 per cent., but it is better than
Nutting bonds, or any other safe bonds.
What we want is encouragement to all
efforts looking towards an increase of
building, and anything which operates
against it will not only seriously affect
our material interests, but will destroy
the business of a very valuable class of
our citizens. The laboring man is
most prosperous whore tho real estate
interest is best fostered, and it should
be the duty of every good citizen to be
careful in estimates about so import
ant a matter, and to encourage, rather
than discourage, any efforts in this di
rection.
