THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
SUNDAY, MARCH 21, 1875.
DEATH OF JOHN MITCHEL.
The telegraph brings us the sad in
telligence from London that John
Mitchel, the patriot and scholar, is
dead. Wi en a comparatively young
man, he dwelt in the South, and from
the time of his coming among us unto
the last clays of his life, next to Ire
land and the Irish, he loved the South
and her people. During the war, many
of the most brilliant and famous edi
torial articles which appeared in the
columns of the Richmond Examiner,
under the management of the celebrat
ed John M. Daniel, were the products
of his pen. He gave to the Confeder
ate cause three sons, two ot whom
died from wounds received in battle,
and, among the final words he spoke
on earth were those in testimony of
his deathless love for the principles
that inspired the Confederate struggle,
which had been consecrated by the
bood of his heroic children.
His persistent effort to secure a seat
in the British Parliament, and his vic
torious election twice to that position,
in spite of the barrier that was erected
against him, must be considered the
crowning glory of a long and notable
career, which, like the fate of his native
land, was full of sorrow. He evidently
determined that however his political
arch-enemies might call him “ felon ”
and seek to keep him in the back
ground, as a rebel against English au
thority, he would, on the very thresh
hold of the grave, defy them to the
last and leave this lower sphere a
morally triumphant man.
He is said to have passed away
quietly and probably was glad to be at
rest. He was a man who adhered to
the grand principles of his life with
invincible tenacity, through all vexa
tions and trials, through good and
evil report, through storm and sun
shine—a grand man who will not
wholly die ; one who bequeaths a shin
ing example of constancy and faith, to
cheer the weary and embolden the op
pressed. A spirit like his, emancipated
from the fleshly clog, sinks not into
bathos, but rather rises superior to the
grovelliug things of clay, and walks
abroad ‘ to wake the world to liberty
again.”
THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.
The Argus Almanac has some shrewd
surmises about the way the next Pres
idential election will terminate. Bas
ing the electoral colleges on the largest
vote ever polled in each State, the re
sult is announced as follows :
Democratic. Republican.
Alabama 10 California 6
Arkansas 0 Florida 4
Connecticut 6 Illinois 21
Delaware 3 Iow T a . 11
Georgia 11 Kansas 5
Indiana 15 Maine 7
Kentucky 12 Massachusetts.... 13
Louisiana 8 Michigan 11
Maryland 8 Minnesota 5
Missouri 15 Mississippi 8
Nevada 3 Nebraska 3
New Hampshire. 5 Ohio.. 22
New Jersey— .. 9 Oregon 3
New York 35 Pennsylvania .. . 29
North Carolina... 10 Rhode Island 4
Tennessee— .... 12 South Carolina... 7
Texas 8 Vermont 5
Virginia 11 Wisconsin 10
West Virginia 5
Total 174
Total 192
The vote necessary to elect will be
184. The writer in the Almanac sums
up thus:
Of the Democratic States, Louisiana is
under the bayonet, and New Hampshire
the object of a close contest.
Connecticut, Nevada, New Hampshire
and North Carolina among the Democratic
States, aggregate 24 electoral votes, and
California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts,
Oregon, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin
among the Republican States, aggregating
39 electoral votes—are now divided in con
trol. And Ohio, with its 22 votes, although
placed in the Republican column because it
was such when it cast its largest vote, is
entirely Democratic.
Of the States whicli have gone Republi
can on their largest vote, California, Illi
nois, Massachusetts, Ohio, Oregon, Penn
sylvania and Wisconsin have since voted
the other way, in stirring contests; and
their present predilections, under a liberal
Democratic policy, are in that* direction.
Evidently, therefore, the Democracy can
not be beaten, unless they beat themselves.
Of course it will not do to “ plug our
melon too soon,” but we have much
faith in the general correctness of tfie
above estimate, which makes all due
allowances for a great and close con
test. The last sentence referring to the
possible suicide of the Democracy is
the turning point of the whole matter.
It is not to be doubted that considera
ble dependence is placed by the Repub
licans upon the fatal facility of their
antagonist in committing blunders at
the supreme moment. It is to be hoped
that, in 1876, no folly will stand between
the Democracy and triumph.
John Milton on States’ Rights.—ln his
“Defense of the People of England," John
Milton wrote:
“ Non rex nos sed nos rogem creavimus.
Patrem natura dedit populo, regem ipse
populus dedit sibi; non ergo propter regem
populus, se<l propter populum, rex est.”
Which may be translated liberally:
Not the Federal Government the States,
but the States the Federal Government,
created. St ates exist by the will of the peo
ple, whilst the Federal Government exists
by the will of the State 3 . It is not, there
fore, owing to the Federal Government
that the States exist, but owing to the
States that the Federal Government exists.
\ olumes could hardly say more than
those few lines in exhaustion of a subject
so little understood.
f Augusta {Ga.) Constitutionalist.
We think “those few lines” so good that
we reproduce them again, especially as we
thereby get a chance to say that the Dis
patch is entitled to the credit of bringing to
light this Miltonian latinity.
[Richmond Dispatch.
The translation was reproduced by
us in “line type” as selected, and not
original matter. We were unaware at
the time from what source it came, and
now learn, as something new, that it
properly belongs to the Dispatch. We
should have been glad to credit the
Dispatch, in the first instance, but take
this, the earliest opportunity, of ac
cording that exact justice to a fellow
journalist which the occasion demands.
Sumner. —According to the New York
Sun and the account of the Sergeant
at-Arms it cost 84,687.00 to bury Mr.
Sumner. Somebody must have had a
high old time over those funeral baked
meats.
THE CAN-CAN.
The modern stage is growing more
and more licentious, and that class of
entertainments known as variety shows
may be very justly put down as one
of the most potent arrows in the devil’s
quiver. At South Bend, Indiana, the
home of Schuyler Colfax, a can-can
troupe performed for the first time, the
other night. The Tribune, of that
place, says: “Of course there was
not a woman in the audience, but the
other side was represented from the
bald-headed sire of 70 to the round
abouted youth of 10, although it is im
possible to find a man on the streets
to-day who was there. Of the per
formances of the ‘ high-kiekers ’ the
less said the better. They were simply
disgusting.”
As if to test the moral courage of
those who witnessed the performance,
some wag started a report that the
Tribune would contain, at some future
time, the names of all those present.
The consternation that ensued may be
imagined from a perusal of the follow
ing letters which were sent to the edi
tors of that sheet, and which are pub
lished as bona fide communications.
Here they are:
expected to find his son there.
Editors Tribune: I went to the can
can expecting to find my son there. He
was not, but having paid to go in I thought
I would see the thing out. Please don’t
print my name, and oblige, yours truly.
he went to see who else went.
Gentlemen : I hope you will not carry
into execution your threat to publish the
names of those who attended the variety
show on Saturday night. I was there, and
will acknowledge to you that I only went
to see who else went. I had no desire to
see the can-can, and never was so disgust
ed in my life with the performaces of the
reckless women on the stage. If you can
leave my name out I wish you would print
the list; otherwise, please suppress it, and
oblige, yours, etc, .
FROM A CITY OFFICIAL.
Gentlemen : Hearing that you were go
ing to publish the names of those who were
at the can-can, I write to request you to
leave mine out. As oue of the city officers,
I simply went there from a sense of duty,
to see that nothing immoral appeared upon
the stage. Yours truly,
<
this man will make it hot.
Herr Editors : I dinks we make it hot
! for you ober you put dose names in der
I paper. Ven I comes away mit home about
halb der past celfen und Katrina ask mo
“wo aen see gehen ?,’ I say to dose barber
shop, und \\ hen I comes home at zwelve
o’clock I dells her I have to wait my turns
und she pleoves me. Now you put my
namen und she see it und may be a devorse.
Petter you not do it or you look a little out
for troubles. Dats All.
FROM A LAWYER.
To the Editor of the Tribune:
It is alleged on the street that you pro
pose giving the names of all individuals
who witnessed the can-can performance. I
was one of said individuals who attended
said show aforesaid, and I here affirm that
you have no right to print said names, and
if you attempt it I will assist in prosecu
ting you for libel. I have among my clients
a large number of church members who
would transfer their business elsewhere
did they know I attended said show, so I
warn you in time. Yours,
Indignantly.
HE WILL STOP “ZE PAPAIRE.”
Mr. Editares: I hav bin a subscribare
for your papare from zo first time, and pay
my subscribtioq. ver prompt. But I con
sidare you no zhentlemens if you print ze
names of zose peoples what go to ze can
can. lam ver much hen-peck—zat is, my
wife she wear ze pantaloon, and she see
my name in ze papare she say “ Mon Dieu,
ze rascale tell me gotoze vulgare can-can.”
I zink you are villaine, and I stop ze papare
if you print my name. Yer Respectful
“ruin his prospects for life.”
Dear Sirs : I learn that you intend to
print a list of the names of all those who
were at the can-can. If my son had not
been there I would say do it. But if ho was
there, and if his name should appear in the
list, it would ruin his prospects for life —
and mine also. He is engaged to one of the
wealthiest young ladies in this city, who is
to receive several thousand dollars on her
wedding day. I am deeply involved in
debt, and depend on this money to put me
on my feet again. She is such a moral,
conscientious creature that I know she will
fly the track if she hears of her betrothed’s
being at the can-can, and of course she will
hear of it if his name appears in your col
umns. Don’t, for heaven’s sake, let it.
Your friend, .
From all appearances there seems
to have been a greater dread of having
their names appear in the paper than
listening to the roll-call at the Day of
Judgment. The preachers who in
veigh without modification against the
stage may be extreme in their views ;
but it ie only too true that the tenden
cy of amusements at this time is all
wrong, and should be reformed by all
means, or else abolished by a healthy
public opinion, if not by law, when they
make war on the morals of the young.
If, however, the elders of the land are
patrons of the lowest form of theatri
cal entertainment, very little can be
hoped for the rising generation, unless
good women everywhere combine to
cleanse the atmosphere by frowning
upon all who openly encourage inde
cent exhibitions.
Water. —London and New York are
in a state of horror over the impurity
of the water the people of those cities
use for drinking purposes. The analy
sis of London water is almost too dread
ful for publication. The system of
water closetd is looked upon as the
deadliest cause of disease, especially of
typhoid fever. The New York Express,
in calling attention to the superior
quality of Croton water over the Lon
don beverage, gives this receipt of a
foreign chemist:
“If you have water to deal with which
may have been infected by the excreta of
typhoid fever patients, be sure to boil it
well, then filter "it through charcoal, then
boil it again, and then—throw it away.”
It may be pertinent for scientific
men to inquire how great a part im
pure water plays in compelling men to
drink spirituous liquors, good, bad or
indifferent.
Wolseley.— According to an article
in the London United Service Magazine,
Major General Sir Garnet Wolseley
gave it as his deliberate opinion, from
personal observation, that “ in military
genius Lee has had no superior since
the great Napoleon astonished the
world by his marvelous career of vic
tory,” and that he is “ even above the
great German generals, who have so
recently avenged the defeats inflicted
on their country by the mighty Corsi
can.”
Admiral Semmes.— This gallant ex-
Confederate has written a letter to the
Mobile Register completely demolish
ing the flimsy pretext of the Senate
Committee for refusing him a removal
of disabilities. It was alleged that
Admiral Semmes had treated some
American sailors with unusual cruelty
in the Indian Ocean. This charge he
proves conclusively to have no other
basis than idle gossip and lying rumor.
The Senate, as recently composed,
could not forgive the man who, for so
many months, made the United States
navy a laughing stock.
