THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
TUESDAY, MARCH 16, 1875.
THE FOREIGN BONDHOLDERS
REPORT.
The Council of Foreign Bondholders
have made a report. They rather ex
coriate the bad faith of many South
ern States, but have nothing but good
words for this State. From an excel
lent compendium of the Council s re
port in the New Orleans Times we learn
that the difficulty with Georgia has
been satisfactorily adjusted, and the
recognition of the bonds by the State,
Mr. De Tracy Gould, of the American
Bar, says “ was due solely to the efforts
of Mr. J. L. Snead, a lawyer of New
York, who proceeded to Georgia, and,
by his personal intervention, obtained
this act of justice for the bondholders;”
for which Mr. De Tracy Gould, in a
circular to the bondholders, requests
the payment of two per cent, on the
full value of all the bonds which have
received benefit from Mr. Snead’s ac
tion this being the amount paid by him
by the American bondholders.
Upon which the Times has this com
ment :
And this, we should say, was an uncom
monly neat operation on the part of Mr.
DeTraoy Gould and Mr. Snead. We have
not space to admire Mr. Snead’s abilities
sufficiently His performance is without a
parallel- We should like to know more of
this Mr. Snead and his personal interven
tion. What was it ? How did he use it ?
That a strange lawyer from New York
should go down to Georgia and accomplish
such a feat alone is most extraordinary.
We do suspect a cat in that meal tub of
“ personal intervention.” At any rate, we
should like to have the Georgia papers tell
us something more about it.
Mr. Snead is a New' York lawyer, at
one time managing editor of Ben
Wood’s paper, the Daily News. He was
also an agent for the settlement of Hen
ry Clews’ claims against this State, but
did not succeed by “ personal interven
tion ” or otherwise, as the Clews bonds
have been repudiated. It may be that
some of our State officials can give
some further information to our New
Orleans contemporary.
INSURANCE POLICIES.
The New York Journal of Commerce
urges upon parties who suppose them
selves securely insured to examine the
‘‘fine type” conditions of their lire
policies. It adds:
We were reminded of this necessity by a
recent ease in which property was destroy
ed and only part of the insurance could be
collected because, in the other policy it was
stipulated that no other insurance should
be made without written consent endorsed.
Another case within our acquaintance is
that of an experienced and generally trust
worthy agent insuring a piece of property
in two companies, and neglecting this con
dition, so that one of the policies was void
from the beginning, and both would have
been if both had contained the condition.
A little extra vigilance on the part of the
assured in this case enabled him to give a
satisfactory answer to the question, “ are
you insured ?’’ but how many of our read
ers would have answered it, relying merely
upon the payment of premium and posses
sion ot the policy, and not have found out
until burnt out that they were not insured,
or, if not a sufferer by fire, that they had
been paying a premium for the mere pos
session of the worthless—no matter how
ornate-signatures of an insurance presi
dent and secretary ?
There is already some bad blood on
the subject of fire insurance in Geor
gia ; and, to make assurance doubly
sure, thus avoiding more trouble of the
same sort, it seems to us that the warn
ing of the Journal of Commerce should
be specially heeded.
SCHENCK.
The resignation of Minister Schenck
is said to proceed from poverty and
disgust. He could not live, in style, on
his salary, and, Emma mining stock
and draw poker failing, he has had to
sell out most of his American property
in order to preserve the dignity of his
country, if not his own. Attention
has been called to the fact that a Min
ister *to Great Britain must have a
large personal revenue in order to
avoid serious embarrassment. Such
was the case with Abbott Lawrence,
James Buchanan, Charles Francis
Adams and John Lathrop Motley. Poor
Schenck seems to have neither money
sufficient for the post, or moral dig
nity to make amends for pecuniary
shortcomings. He seems to have been
utterly unfit, in every particular, for
such a mission, and has, in the
decline of life, beggared himself
in the world’s goods and made
a bankrupt of his character. His
confession of ultimate failure is that
of ninety-nine hundreths of men 'who
are mere politicians, dependent upon
the garlic breath of the mob for pre
ferment. In the midst of his despair,
he cries out in a letter to a friend, “ I
am beginning to loathe all efforts to
serve my country or the public. They
bring no compensating reward for peace
and comfort sacrificed.”
The man in humble station has the
satisfaction of knowing that he is a
thousand times happier than those who
seeming to wear the laurel are really
groaning under a crown of thorns.
Planting. —The cotton writer of the
Atlanta Constitution advises farmers to
plant enough of food crops to supply
their families, and then plant all the
cotton they can cultivate and pick out.
The same writer still sticks to his esti
mate of a 4,000,000 crop this season.
He prospects as follows: “ The trees
are beginning to bloom, and it is no
longer safe to be on the bear side. If
the rise which came in the past two
weeks had not have been premature,
we should now be a strong bull. As it
is we believe good cotton will pay to
carry it, if held for several months.
£>till there is no earthly reason that we
• can see why low middlings and good
ordinary cotton should sell for 15 cents
a pound at this time of the year in the
interior.”
A Funny Pool. —The gambling frater
nity %re still sellinggpools on the result
of the 8.-T. trial. We learn that in ad
dition to betting on the verdict, bets
are now made on the Judge’s health
and the appearance of small-pox in the
court, and the thinning out of the jury
by cholera morbus, St. Vitus’ dance,
dropsy and delirium tremens.
GORDON AND LAMAR. ' -X
The Baltimore Gazette , conceding that
it was an error of tactics to have sent
such men as Gordon and Lamar to New
Hampshire, gives potent reasons for
such an admission. It says : “Itis no
part of Puritanism to forgive or to for
get. The animating spirit of the iate
war, incarnate in such frames as Thad
deus Stevens and such like, • not only
dead, but living, was hatred of Southern
men as perpetrators of the one crime
which their corner of the North recog
nized as unpardonable. When to this
was added the sin of a defensive war,
the antipathy became intensified. It
requires more than a decade to put out
such fires or chill such ashes, and
when brave soldiers like Gordon, who
fought in that war from beginning to
end, or Confederate statesmen like Mr.
Lamar, appear in the flesh, let them be
as eloquent as they may, so long as
they are not repentant, and do not
come like the burghers of Calais be
fore King Edward, with ropes about
their necks ; let them, like the Missis
sippi member, have emptied buckets of
inappropriate and ineffectual tears on
Sumner’s grave, it will do no good. It
will not only do no good, but, as we
fear in this case, do a good deal of
harm.”
Funny.— The New Orleans Bulletin
wants to start anew political organiza
tion to be called the “Clean Man’s
Party,” on the following plan :
The first article of faith would be a re
jection of everybody who is morally, polit
ically or personally unclean. That dogma
should be opposed to all impurity, all bes
tial corruption, all polluted and tainted de
filement. Those who deal in moral, offal
and slimy putridity should be excluded
most rigidly. No sloven or indecent per
son should find room in the Clean Man’s
Party, or be suffered to vote for its clean
and honorable candidates.
If rabidity of speech should disqual
ify a man from belonging to this party,
the fiery untamed writer for the Bulle
tin might fail of admission to his own
cabal.
John Mitchel. —ln a recent lecture
at Cork, John Mitchel said ;
The London limes , indeed, has discover
ed a disgraceful.crime of which I have
been guilty—viz: that I was a Southern
Confederate during the war in America.—
As to this last charge, I own the soft im
peachment. I was a Confederate, and so
were all the best men that I mot in Ameri
ca. [Hear! hear!] My three sons served
in the Confederate army, and two of them
fell in battle. I am not such a craven re
creant as to affect to be ashamed of that
cause.
The tenacity with which gallant John
Mitchel clings to the sacredness of the
Southern cause is creditable to him
and a shame to many “to the manner
born,” who have apologized for and in
dividually disgraced it.
Ben Butler.— Horrified at the idea of
Butler’s crawling back to Congress,
through Buffington’s death, the Radi
cal Cincinnati Gazette says:
We don’t believe any Massachusetts con
stituency could be induced to touch him
with a ten-foot pole. Republicans are not
in the mood now to take up again dead
loads they have just cast off. Men that
have been retired are likely to keep back
seats for some time to come. If Butler
ever gets back to Congress, it will be
through the aid of the Democrats.
That last sentence sounds like “ sar
kasm.”
New Departure.— The Rome (Ga.)
Courier says :
Democratic success next year will great
ly depend upon the preservation of har
mony in our own ranks. If any attempt is
made to shift our lines upon what are call
ed “new departures,” we are just as certain
to be defeated as the Presidential election
occurs.
If some of our so-called leaders co
quet with New York politicians much
more, the Democracy will be led to the
slaughter pen again.
Divorce. —The wife of Th eodore
Hamilton, the actor, after twelve years
of married lifo, sues for a divorce, on
the allegation that her Theodore is no
better than Mrs. Tilton’s.
Grangers. —All is not lovely among
brethren of the Grange. The Patrons
of Husbandry in lowa are splitting up
into independent fragments. The re
ported grievance is that the Grange
has lost all confidence in the national
officers, and that the finances have been
mismanaged. It is stated that the
late exhibition of the financial manage
ment of the National Grange will lead
to a general withdrawal and abandon
ment of the concern.
Republican France.— Commenting
upon the fact that the Republic just es
tablished in France is supported by
one Prince of the blood royal, four
Dukes, three Marquises, thirteen
Counts, three Viscounts and five Bar
ons, the New York Herald reconciles
the apparent paradox by showing that
the Republic established in France
does not set out with the declaration
that everybody is “ free and equal,” as
our fathers did, and its possible suc
cess lies in that very fact; for what did
well here would not answer there, as
’B9 dreadfully exhibited.
Louisiana. —A dispatch to the West
ern press concerning New Orleans says
late private advices from that city
show that while a few ultra politicians,
on both sides, are not inclined to the
settlement on the proposed basis, a
large majority of the people, including
merchants and planters, are willing for
peace on almost any terms, as their
material interests are seriously injured
by continual political commotions.
Spelling Matches.— The Atlanta Con
stitution calls attention to the spelling
match mania. We hope this is not a
personal allusion to a Southwestern
Georgia exchange.
A Model Editor. —Many people in
the South take the Christian Union. —
It may be interesting for them to know
that, according to his own testimony,
Oliver Johnson, the managing editor,
is a Universalist and does not believe
in the divinity of Christ. He also pro
fesses to be “ a spiritualist but not a
I damned fool!”
