THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1875.
JUDGE LOCHRANE’S ORATION.
We publish, this morning, the splen
did oration delivered at Atlanta, on the
17th inst., by Hon. O. A. Lochrane. It
is a masterly effort, and will go straight
to the hearts of patriots of all nation
alities. We can well imagine that such
a speech as this would thrill the very
.souls of the men of Green Erin, and
make the daughters of the Land of
Saints and Sages sadly weep or proud
ly smile, as the eloquent speaker dwelt
upon Ireland’s tremendous woe and
her undying glory.
Wilson.—-The Washington corres
pondent of the Courier-Journal sends
this telegram :
The Vice-President is out in a long letter
this morning on the subject of the Bounty
bill, which he defends. The letter is ob
viously a Presidential bid, and is plainly
meant to place Grant’s refusal to sign the
bill in an odious light before the soldiers.
Mr. Wilson has nothing to say about
his extraordinary conduct in signing a bill
which ,iad not passed Congress. The right
of the Speaker and Mr. Wilson to sign
this bill is much discussed, and the act is
regarded by thoughtful men as one of the
most dangerous and alarming precedents
in the history of the Government. •
Proceed, Mr. Wilson. Proceed, Gen.
Grant.
Grant and the Commune. — Com
menting on the raid made upon the
President by the negro commune, the
other day, the New York Times says :
“ They went away flinging back from
their sable rauks the slogan of the un
terrified. Then they held a mass meet
ing, and resolved to go and see the
Commissioners about it. Curiously
enough, that is the very thing they
should have done at first.”
Old John. —The Democrats of Cin
cinnati propose to run “ old John Rob
inson,” the circus proprifitor, for Mayor
of that town. Old John owns a mil
lion dollars’ worth of property in Cin
cinnati, and seems to be a strong can
didate.
The Philadelphia Times. —We have
received the first copy of Col. A. K.
McLure’s new paper, the Philadelphia
Times. It is an exceedingly bright and
attractive journal, typographically and
editorially.
Famous Port Royal.
H. H. J., of the Macon Telegraph and
Messenger, has been in South Carolina,
and in one of his usual attractive let
ters does up Port Royal in the follow
ing style:
famous port royal.
It is now claimed that the hour of
parturition has been safely passed, and
the tender bantling launched into ex
istence by the completion of a railroad,
making interior connections. But the
infant is still in swaddling clothes,
though showing symptoms of vitality
and vigor.
A few shanties and temporary struc
tures have been erected, and anew and
creditable wooden structure designed
for a hotel, which it is said has been
leased in advance to an Augusta man.
It is true, grog shops predominate, and
negroes, like turkey buzzards, swarm
around them; but then this is so in all
new places, before law and civilization
take root; and white-winged commerce
even now is beginning to shed abroad
her enlightening influence o’er the
scene.
Thus, in addition to intelligent clerks,
railroad and warehouse officials, and
several respectable boarding house
keepers and their families, four or five
vessels were in port. One of these, the
full-rigged ship.
CARRIE CLARK,
deserves more than a passing notice.
She was built iu Waltsoboro, Maine,
and is now on her first voyage, bound
for Liverpool. The proportions of this
craft are very fine, and she is elegantly
finished and furnished from figure head
to stern. Her draft of water is seven
teen and a half feet, and she measures
1,326 tons, and has on board a cargo of
4,350 bales of cotton, weighing 2,000,000
pounds, all of which came from Au
gusta. The crew, officers and sailors
before the mast included, numbers
twenty-two men, and her cost was
§IOO,OOO. She was loaded by Capt.
John Torrents & Son, of Augusta, at
55 cents per bale, and will realize $17,-
000 for freight on this her first cargo.
the site of port royal
embraces 950 acres, and formed origi
nally the plantation of Rev. Stephen
G. Elliott aud John J. Smith. The en
tire property is owned by D. F. Apple
ton, of New York, and was sold for
taxes during the war, and purchased,
all expenses added in, for less than
$9,000. The titles were executed and
verified by Hon. W. F. Colcock, and are
believed to be without flaw of any kind.
The proprietor, we were informed by
his agent, Mr. Hall, has realized about
$27,000 from a partial sale of lots.
Approaching Battery Point, where
the improvements have been made, the
railroad passes through the “ city,”
with every street and avenue displayed
in flaming capitals set upon stakes, and
numbering nearly as many as Gotham
can boast of.
It was ludicrous to see Tenth avenue
passing through a salt marsh or mo
rass alive with fiddlers (a spider-look
ing salt water insect crab), or Forty
seventh street stfeaking it through the
woods with not a tree or bush amiss.
But so it is. And we have.
ONE SINGLE PIECE OF ADVICE
to volunteer to the owner. Already the
exorbitant prices asked for lots have
checked all demand for them, and un
less this policy is abandoned; and the
rent of flimsy shanties be reduced to a
living figure, Port Royal will be a “ fin
ished city ” before it i3 commenced.
The people are too poor, and the pro
ject too uncertain to justify any such
extortionate course.
NINE HUNDRED FEET LENGTH
of substantial piers have been con
structed, along side of which vessels
drawing twenty feet of water may load
and unload.
Twenty-four feet depth of water can
be had on the bar at low tide, and the
entrance is so broad ,;nd simple as to
almost dispense with pilotage.
Fish and oysters are abundant, but
on the principle, wo suppose, of the
shoemaker going always barefooted,
not a single bivalve, muilet, trout or
sheephead was served at supper. Yet
there the oysters, reposing in huge
beds, lay in full view just across the
river, and fish could have been had
for the taking. This “ straw ” did not
speak well for the enterprise and future
of “ the city.”
HISTORY OF PORT ROYAL ISLAND.
The discovery of this magnificent
liaibor dates far back into the regions
of antiquity. As early as 1562 the
pious Admiral Coliguy ) inspired with
the desire to found an asylum in the
wilds of the Western Continent for the
persecuted Protestants, equipped and
sent out an exploring expedition for
that benevolent purpose, under the
command of
JEAN RIBAULT,
a French navigator of celebrity.
This bold sailor discovered and nam
ed many islands and inlets on the At
lantic coasUj and at length sailed up
the Port Royal river, and, charmed
with the appearance of the country,
disembarked immediately, and built
Charles’ Fort on Paris Island, called in
honor of that English sovereign.
The settlement was destined, how
ever, to enjoy but a brief aud unhappy
existence. Only a year afterward, or
in 1563. that bloody-minded bigot,
Phillip 11, of Spain, sent an armed
force under Menendez to destroy the
colonists.
Sailing first to St. Augustine, they
proceeded up the Atlantic coast and
suddenly swooped down upon the little
fort and captured it.
Then the work of butchery began
forthwith, and all, to the number of
six hundred, were put to the sword.
This was done avowedly because the
colonists were heretics. But this
TRIUMPH OF THE RELIGIOUS FANATICS
under Providence was short indeed.
The very next year the French sent
out an expedition under DeGourgeus,
; surnamed Avenger, who, entering
the capacious harbor without pioneer
| or pilot, attacked and carried the de
| fences of the usurpers ; and in turn re
; morselessly slew every mothers’ sou
5 of them. This was in 1564.
It is then chronicled that soon after,
despairing of success, and worn out by
such a series of calamities, which were
curiously attributable to the very case
of access and great depth of water
which have made Port Royal celebrat
ed ' from the earliest times, the pro
prietors utterly abandoned any further
attempt at settling that ill-fated island.
A HIATUS OF ONE HUNDRED YEARS
then intervened ere any further effort
was made to establish a settlement in
that inhospitable region.
Under a grant of Charles IT. to the
Earl of Clarendon, which extended
west as far as the Pacific Ocean, about
1660, however, the colony was once
more planted, and has since survived
the almost universal massacre of the
inhabitants in 1717, the subsequent
war of the first revolution, the second
conflict with England in 1812, and last,
but not least, the late terrific civil war,
and the malignant tyranny of the Fed
eral Government afterward.
Of late years, too, since the advent
of railroads, the old place has taken a
new departure, and not a few predict
for Port Royal a proud and glorious
future. The present railroad connec
tion with Augusta passes through
soioe of the finest pine forests in the
world, and already the giant trees,
which have stood* guard over the wil
derness for centuries, are yielding to
the axe of the sturdy woodman, and
the air resounds with the crash of fall
ing timber and the sharp whirr of the
circular saw.
