THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
TUESDAY. MARCH 23, 1875.
THE HURRICANE.
As details reach us of the ravages
committed by the hurricane, which
swept over a large portion of Georgia,
they become more and more heart
rending. The damage to property and
life in sections contiguous to this city
has been very serious. It is ihe duty of
our Council and citizens to help the
sufferers in every practicable way, the
more so as much of the wealth and
prosperity of Augusta has been drawn,
for many years, from the afflicted
counties. By a merciful dispensation
of Providence, as well as by our fortu
nate location, wo have been spared a
grievous catastrophe which has fallen
upon many of our country neighbors.
The wants of the sufferers are instant
and pressing. Let there be a generous
response from all, to the extent of each
individual’s ability, and by such exhi
bition of charity we shall prove our
selves to be not only worthy of the
gratitude of man but the continued
favor of heaven.
IGNORANT EDITORS-MR. STE
PHENS AND “ STATE SOVER
EIGNTY.”
One of the most distressing signs of
the times is the ignorance of the news
paper editors of the day. A remark
able instance in point is furnished by a
recent editorial in the Chicago Tribune.
Not long since, the editor of that paper
expressed the opinion that Alexander
H. Stephens “is at heart the enemy of
‘ State Sovereignty,’ and the friend of
National Sovereignty.” Whereupon
the Savannah News asks if the editor
of the Chicago Tribune has never read
the book entitled “ The War Between
the States,” written by the Hon. Alex
ander H. Stephens. To which the wise
man of the Tribune replies “ certainly
he has, and also an answer to it by an
other Southern writer, which made
pulp of his ‘ book,’ and rendered it use
less for Stephens ever to complete the
promised second volume.” (Italics
ours].
We are not, as a rule, surprised at
the woful ignorance of latter day ed
itors, as a class, concerning public
affairs and the political history of the
country, and especially of Mr. Ste
phens’ true position and sentiments,
but when we take into consideration
the fact that “ the promised volume ”
has been completed and published for
many years, and remains unanswered
and unanswerable to this moment, and
will remain so for all time, we do con
fess to some degree of surprise on find
ing so distinguished an editor as Mr.
MEDiLLinsuch profound ignorance of
the existence of that •' second volume.”
When a narrow-minded, little-souled,
splenetic provincial editor (God save
the word!) calls Mr. Stepb:ens a
“ traitor,” says he is a “ Grantite,” a
“ Third-termer,” and all that, we are
not surprised, for we expect nothing
better or more enlightened from such
a source. Such men are swayed more
by personal prejudice and passion
than by any devotion to principle ; but
when the learned and accomplished
editor of the greatest daily of the
Northwest betrays his ignorance of the
ablest work upon the Government
under which he lives, we are not a lit
tlo astonished.
Will Mr. Msdili, excuse us for urging
him to read and study the second
volume of “The War Between the
States.” He can get a copy of it from
the National Publishing Company,
Philadelphia. We assure him that we
know whereof we write, when we say
that it was written by one whose every
heart-throb is for the good of his
country—his whole country ; one who
would have no North, no South, no
East, no West, but “liberty and Union,
now and forever, one and inseparable
one whose patriotism is as pure as re
fined gold; one who, if the fell spirit of
Centralism shall at last prevail, and
the fragments of the grandest political
fabric ever reared by human hands lie
shattered all around us, and the ghost
of our murdered country stalk abroad
at midnight, can, with a clear con
science, say to it, “never shake thy
gory locks at me; thou canst not say
1 did ! ”
OHIO “BANDITTI.”
The telegraphic account of mining
troubles at Columbus, Ohio, sent to the
Southern press of this region, was ne
cessarily of such a meagi* and unsat
isfactory character that little or noth
ing definite could be of it. From
other sources, by mail, we learn par
ticulars which are really startling. The
broil was nothing less than a war of
races on a small scale, and, happening
in a Western State, assumes an atti
tude of some consequence. The white
miners attacked and seriously hurt a
number of colored operatives. The
superintendent of the mine and the
negroes were driven from the place
and threatened with death in case they
attempted to return. Many buildings
of the Straitsville Mining Company
were burned, and, for a time, there
prevailed general havoc and murder
ous intentions.
It would seem that “ banditti ” are
not confined to the South, and the peo
ple of the North who are so anxious
about peace in this section had better
look homeward.
A Good Speech. —During the Sena
torial contest in West Virginia, many
speeches were made by many men.
Most of the orators were long-winded
and verbose. The following address by
Major Hotchkiss, of Staunton, reported
in the Kanawha Chronicle , was the best
and briefest:
Gentlemen—lf no one will make a speech
I will, and I will stop when I get done. Citi
zens of West Virginia, if you would all take
the same interest iu developing the resour
ces of your country by opening your rich
mines, cultivating the soil, improving your
stock and cultivating habits of industry,
that you take hunting public offices for
yourselves or friends, you would soon have
one of the first and best States in the
Union.”
That is one of the best and truest
speeches ever made in the United
States and will answer for other com
monwealths besides West Virginia.
A GLUT OF MONEY.
There seems to be actually a glut of j
money in Great Britain, and the
chances of borrowing at what would j
appear ridiculously low rates of inter- •
est are generally excellent, upon good !
security. While the British capitalists
display much shrewdness, betimes, in
making investments, they are frequent
ly guilty of folly without parallel. Par
ties who have had some experience in
the matter inform us that, in a major
ity of cases, it is slowly and with the
greatest difficulty a really promising
enterprise can be negotiated in London;
and yet, such is the perversity of inan-
I kind, that wild cat speculations have,
from time to time, been bitten at with
the same avidity that sharks swallow
a baited hook. There have been so
many gigantic frauds undertaken by
Euglish capitalists, recently, that we
learn a movement is seriously contem
plated in Government circles to exert,
by Parliamentary statute, a species of
guardianship over men who make
money like Shylock and lend it like
Antonio. Two of the most notable il
lustrations of English wealth and idiot
cy are summarized by the Chicago Tri
bune thus:
In 1867, Senor Gutierrez, the Minister
of Honduras to Great Britain, kindly gave
the British public an opportunity to lend
800,000 pounds to Honduras. The public
grasped at the chance. The loan was nom
inally to be used to construct a railroad
across the borrowing State. This was to be
a ship railway. The cars wore to carry
vessels of 1.200 tons burthen, cargo and all,
from ocean to ocean. The prospectus had
a picture of a ship under full sail traveling
along the road. This scheme, utterly pre
posterous for a tiny, half-barbarous State
like Honduras to undertake, was sufficient
for Gutierrez’s purpose l .. He got 300,000
pounds in London, in 1367; 2,000,000 pounds
in Paris, in 1860; and 2,000,000 more in Lon
don the following year. For all these
loans, security in the shape of a bond was
supposed to be deposited in the Bank of
England. When Gutierrez applied for
12,000,000 pounds more, in 1872, suspicions
were at last aroused. Inquiry was made
at the Bank, and it then appeared that the
security consisted of a locked tin box,
which might or might not have something
in it! So a tin box, a few printed lies, and
Ministerial commission from a barbarous
country, swindled London and Paris out of
4,300,000 pounds!
Another great swindle hails from Canada.
Two unworthies, Prince and Longbottom,
offered nine exhausted oil-wells for sale in
London. Longbotixi was the nominal
agent of Prince. He presented the testi
monialsof various mythical “ Mayors” and
“Government Surveyors” to the worth of
the wells; produced railroad receipts for
heavy shipments of oil (these were really
the official statements of all the oil handled
by the roads in question); and paraded a
certificate under the seal of Mr. Hemans,
Butish Consul at Buffalo, that the wells
yielded 760 barrels a day. This action of
Hemans is as yet unexplained, although he
is accused of having received a fee of 5,000
pounds. Armed with these credentials,
Longbottom bought the use of some emi
nent names for 500 pounds a year apiece,
formed Ids Directorship in this way,
and began to sell stock and bonds. One
of the Direct >rs visited the propei'ty
with Longbottom (“which,” as the
Chief Justice said on the trial which
showed these facis, “was like sending the
goose with the fox”), and was duped on the
spot, utterly and hopelessly. False ac
counts were shown him; his correspond
ence was intercepted and falsified; oil was
poured into the wells at night and pumped
out again before him in the day time. He
went back to play the part of an uncon
scious stool-pigeon. When suspicion crept
into the Directors’ mind, on account of lack
of receipts, they sent another investigator
who was hoodwinked for four months, but
finally discovered that the thing was “a
complete swindle.” Before this time, how
ever, Prince and Longbottom had got
their money, and the London dupes had
nine holes in the ground, some well printed
certificates, a set of falsified accounts, and
a law-suit in exchange.
Of course, every swindler does not
succeed in the same proportion, but
enough of the speculative gentry have
prospered to make it almost impossible
for a really honest enterprise to get
backing up of British gold, especially
if ir be an American project and the
rates of possible profit figured up by a
man of modesty on the solid ground,
and not by a Dick Turpin who carries
his slate and calculations “up in a
balloon.”
New Eooks.
Vaticanism; An Answer to Reproofs
and Replies. By Rt. Hon. W. E. Glad
stone.
The most famous politico-religious
controversy of latter days was that
caused by the pamphlet of Mr. Glad
stone on the “Vatican Decrees.” It
was rendered all the more interesting
and exciting because of the disturbed
condition of Europe and the unfortu
nate prominence of Church questions.
Mr. Gladstone’s latest production is
marked with extraordinary ability and
profound learning. Those who agree
with him will read this volume with
intense pleasure ; those who are not of
his way of thinking will peruse it with
interest, because of the powerful at
tempt to controvert their views.
The Blossoming of an Aloe. A Novel.
By Mrs. Cashel Hoey.
The success of Mrs. Hoey’s “ Golden
Sorrow ” will make many novel readers
desirous of procuring and reading her
latest venture into fiction. The title is
very striking and the story is one
of the best of the season. It is one of
those English tales which captivate the
healthy mind, and is told with a sweet
ness and purity of diction altogether
admirable. In moments of relaxation
nothing delights us more than such a
book as this ; and we can recommend
it cordially as a work of talent con
taining nothing but what is wholesome
and attractive to the intellect and the
fancy.
The above works are from the press
of Harper & Brothers.
Rich Medway’s Two Loves. A Novel. By
Celia E. Gardner.
This is one of G. W. Carleton & Co.’s
popular American romances of Ameri
can life. Miss Gardner has won much
repute by her former books, notably so
by “Stolen Waters.” Very little space
is taken up with mere description and
the bulk of the story —which is a
rather long one—moves onward to the
close with a spirited dialogue. It will
prove a welcome guest to quiet house
holds aifd be read with pleasure by
women, who love their firesides and
have time occasionally to travel back
into their golden past through the
medium of romance.
Messrs. Quinn & Pendleton have our
thanks for copies of these several
works.
Im Thurm.—John C. ' Im Thurm & Cos.
who recently failed in London for
810,000,000, are supposed to have met
their c >\ip de grace by “ an overwhelm
ing influx of drafts from the South
against cotton consign?d to them by
planters and dealers in that region.”
Furtado. —The Savannah Advertiser
provokingly announces that Mme. Fur
tado draws from the French Treasury
every three months the sum of 10,000,-
000 francs, the interest on Government
securities held by her, which amount
to 80,000,000 francs, or §16,000,000, and
this is but a portion of her wealth.
What a chance for some enterprising
Southern gentleman!
Gold. —The rise in gold is attributed,
by leading merchants in New York, to
a “combination” of speculators. We
dare say the shaky condition of “ na
tional finances ” has something to do
with it. One of our wisest statesmen
predicts that gold will go to 30, within
a year.
Laborers. —lt is said that Mexicans
are entering the labor m arket in Texas,
and that they are better cotton hands
than the freed blacks.
