THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
SUNDAY, MARCH 28, 1875. _
GREAT MEN OFF DUTY.
It was a wise and witty saying that
no man is a hero to his valet-de-cham
bre. Everybody can understand that
a functionary so important and inti
mate fis a valet must necessaiiß have
seen the weak and unworthy sides of
great men. The most interesting book
we ever read was Dr. Antommarchi’h
memories of Napoleon, and ail because
his recollections of that mighty man
were permeated by his infirmities. The
hero still survived, in spite of the Doc
tor and his diary, which were tremen
dous strains upon the ideal Buonaparte.
It seems that that quaint humorist,
Max Adeler, must have drifted into
some such mood when he recently took
up his pen and wrote of the possibili
ties of certain renowned personages
thus :
No doubt Moses snarled and got angry
when he had a severe cold in his head, and
if a fly bit his leg while he was in the
desert why should we suppose he did not
jump and use violent language, and rub
the sore place ? And CiESAK— isn’t it toler
ably certain he used to become furious
when he went up stairs to get his slippers
in the dark, and found that Calphurnia had
shoved them under the bed so that he had
to sweep around them wildly with a broom
handle ? And when Solomon cracked his
crazy bone is it unreasonable to suppose
that he ran round the room and felt as if he
wanted to cry ? Imagine George Washing
ton sitting on the edge of the bed and put
ting on a clean shirt, and growling at
Martha because the buttons were off; or
St. Augustine with an apron around his
nock having his hair cut; or Joan of Arc
holding her front hair in her mouth, as
women do, while she fixed up her back
hair; Napoleon jumping out of bed in a
frenzy to chase a mosquito around the
room •with a pillow; or Martin Luther in
a night-shirt trying to put the baby to
sleep at two o’clock in the morning; or
Alexander the Great with the hiccoughs;
or Thomas Jefferson getting suddenly
over a fence to avoid a dog; or the Duke of
Wellington with the mumps; or Daniel
Webster abusing his wife because she
hadn’t tucked the covers at the loot of the
bed; or Benjamin Franklin paring his
corns with a razor; or Jonathan Edwards,
at the dinner-table, wanting to sneeze just
as he got his mouth full of hot beef; or
Noah standing at his window at night
throwing bricks at a cat.
Luckily for the illustrious ones of
the world, the majority of men and
women think of them only in statue
i ike repose, grand, gloomy and pecu
liar. Not for nothing did the old
Romans seat beside the conquering
hero in his chariot of triumph a men
tor who buzzed into his ear, amid the
wild plaudits of the crowd, “ remem
ber that thou art but a man!” The
most worthy personages are frequently
those who are least known ; who have
made a conquest of their baser natures
and can defy even the scrutiny and
espionage of a valet de chambre, if they
had one. That these individuals are
comparatively numerous we believe,
though they will, in the main, only be
known when, like their Lord, they
shall have risen and become sancti
fied indeed, by joining the shining host
whose chiefest glory was in the affec
tions and not the turbulence of life. Or
as the poet tells us •
“ The warriors by the portal wait
Till all their scars are shown;
Love walks unchallenged by the gate,
To sit beside the Throne ”
THE NORTH CAROLINA CON
VENTION.
Some hurly-burly having been creat
ed by the persistent determination of
the North Carolina Legislature to call
a state Convention, Senator Ransom
has taken pains to correct any erro
neous impressions which may have
crept out concerning the intentions of
that body. We learn from the relia
ble Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun that the Senator de
clared the Convention would be a
restricted one, that is every dele
gate to it before taking his seat
will be required to subscribe an oath
not to incorporate in the new Consti
tution any clause in violation of the
Thirteenth, Fourteenth ami Fifteenth
amendments, or of any of the recon
struction acts, or to, insert any pro
vision in any way recognizing the “re
bel” debt or looking to paymen* for
the emancipated slaves, or to insert
any provision abridging in any way the
tenure of any officeholder iu the State.
Gen. Ransom says that the present re
construction constitution of his State
is a hotch-potch, made up from the
constitutions of half a dozen Northern
States, thrown in pell mell; that many
of its provisions are hard to construe,
and are totally unfitted to the habits
of his people. It is in many respects
expensive and cumbersome, as, for in
stance, the township system, which is
not iu any way suited to the wants or
desires of the people.
When delegates to a State conven
tion have to go there with padlocks on
their mouths it would be better per
haps to wait until a more convenient
season.
MR. THOS. L. SNEAD.
Some time since, the New Orleans
Times inquired as to the identity of
Mr. Thos. L. Snead. To which we gave
the following response:
Mr. Snead is a New York lawyer, at one
time managing editor of Ben Wood's pa
per, the Daily News. He was also an agent
for the settlement of Henry Clews’ claims
against the State, but did not succeed by
“personal intervention” 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.
Elsewhere we publish a card from
Mr. Snead denying the statement that
he had anything to do with Henry
Clews or his claims. As we would not
do a wilful wrong to any man, we give
Mr. Snead a hearing on the subject.
The concluding paragraph of Mr.
Snead’s communication is a gratuitous
and unfounded assumption. In refer
ring the New Orleans Times to our
State officials for further information,
we did not intend to “ insinuate ” that
Treasurer Jones was a dishonest man ;
we simply referred the Times to par
ties who could presumably tell all
about the gentleman from New York,
so far as his official business with them
was concerned.
THE CAN CAN.
On the dead walls and high fences of
Augusta announcement is made in pic
torial fashion that the Women of the
Can-Can are coming—just after Easter
Sunday too. We have examined the
columns of our State exchanges to find
out what manner of treatment these
unfortunate females have received. At
Columbus, we learn that the gallery
audience was something unprecedented,
that the orchestra chairs were mostly
occupied, and that there was not a lady
in the house. The Enquirer reporter
thinks the “ entertainment” a very
naughty one, and adds: “We opine
that some of the wives of many hus
bands who were there would have been
glad to have had these “ bad boys” at
home. The men enjoyed the “ mad en
thusiasm,” and the more it is condemn
ed, the more will slip away and attend
it. * * * “It will do very
well for a man, but he would not carry
a sister to such an exhibition outside
of some foreign city. The males were
carried away last evening with rapture
at the can-can—were perfectly delight
ed, and shouted their admiration.”
“We won’t tell who was there.”
It may be surmised that the hus
bands were hardly fit to enter their
pure homes after the “ rapture ” and
“mad enthusiasm”of such indecencies,
and it is a disgrace to the morals of a
Southern community that when an
obscene show is condemned the attrac
tion becomes the greater. If that be a
good argument, wo may as well shut
up all the churches and gag all the
ministers.
The Atlanta Herald boldly and hon
estly denounces the exhibition in that
city. It says:
The audience that assembled was in point
of numbers and respectability as fine a
gathering of men as was ever collected in
Atlanta. Every calling was represented.
The theatre was thronged with the best
citizens of the city and State. Solid mer
chants, not often seen at any place of
amusement, were out and sat through the
performance. But three females were in
attendance, one evidently innocently pres
ent, and the other two unaccompanied, who
lied from the pit to a private box.
We shall spare our readers the descrip
tion of this most revolting exhibition. It
was immodest and indecent to the last ex
tremity, and the company should have been
driven from the stage in disgrace. More
cool, unblushing boldness or immoral
action and impure manner has never been
witnessed. The feeling of disgust that per
vaded the respectable portion of the audi
ence was intense.
The pernicious influence of such shows
is simply incalculable. They are in con
travention of recognized public policy
everywhere. The harm they do is im
measurable. To permit such exhibitions
openly and in our best places of amuse
ment is to poison society. The law forbids,
religion condemns, and.morality opposes
them.
The self-respect of Southern manhood
demands that their pollution should be
driven from it ruinous mission among us.
The Hei'ald has stronger language
than this, but we cannot quote it just
as it is. The people are warned what
kind of entertainment is about to be
offered them, just as Lent has closed
and Easter week is in progress. The
South has been forced to many degra
dations in the last ten years ; she need
not voluntarily walk into a deeper pit
of abasement.
Odd Sleeve Buttons.— The Law
rence (Massachusetts) American men
tions that some thoughtful friend, with
an assortment of odd sleeve-button s
has sent a variety by mail to Mr. Wm.
F. Jordan, its one-one armed cashier,
and suggests : “ Happy thought, if
any of us lose a sleeve-button, a glove
or a boot, that, after all, tho remaining
one is a sufficient outfit for somebody
whoso limbs are less numerous than
ours. A society for the distribution of
odd things among one-armed or one
legged people may be instituted some
time, perhaps, when charity becomes
more minute.”
There are plenty of one-armed and
one-legged men in the South to oper
ate on in the way of odd sleeve-but
tons, boots, etc.
Undue Familiarity.— Prince George’s
county, Maryland, has had a “horror.”
Upon the person of Mrs. Nelson a re
volting outrage was committed by one
of the “wards of the nation.” The
Baltimore Sun, after detailing the case,
which ended in swift punishment to
the perpetrator, says Mr. Nelson is a
New Yorker, a Republican in polities,
and had treated the negro with fa
miliarity.
Two Views.— The New York Herald
says Andrew Johnson’s speech was tho
best made in the Louisiana debate, be
cause strong, plain, practical, and alto
gether better fitted to make an im
pression on the average popular mind
than the dry arguments of the other
speakers.
Fer cotitra, the Times thinks A. J.
has lost prestige by not holding his
tongue ; that he has exhausted all his
ammunition at one discharge, and
clapped an extinguisher on himself for
all time to come.
Perversity. —The late Lord St.
Leonards, a very eminent lawyer, who
had a hobby on the subject of people
making their wills, forgot to make his
own. He was something like a cele
brated lecturer on the art of memory
who always forgot his umbrella when
it rained.
Christiancy.— Not long ago Mr. Chris
tiancy was a “statesman.” Now, a
good many newspapers are either very
silent on the subject or else allude to
him as a “special pleader.” The fact
is, Mr. Christiancy is a Republican, and,
m all essential matters, will stick to
his party.
Those Diamonds.— The Congressional
resolution permitting Mr. Fitch to ac
cept the Khedive’s present to his wife
did not release the duty charges'
$17,500. So, the diamonds will remain
in custody until another Congress [shall
remit the duty or untii somebody can
hand over to the Custom House the
necessary cash.
More Tornado. —Prof. Tice, of St.
Louis, predicts that from the Gth of
next June to the middle of Jul> we
may prepare for cyclones, waterspouts
and tornadoes.
Good. —Bishop Ames, in old times,
was a slaveholder in Missouri and
owned a negro man who was a powerful
exhorter. The Troy Times says the
following dialogue occurred one day
between the master and the vassal :
“ Pompey, I heir you are a great preach
er.” “Yes, massa, de Lord do help rue
powerful sometimes.” “ Well, Pompey,
don’t you think the negroes steal littlo
things on the plantation?” “ I’se mighty
’fraid they does, massa.” “ Then, Pompey,
I want you lo preach a sermon to the ne
groes against stealing.” After a brief re
flection, Pompey replied: “You see, massa,
dat won’t do, ’cause ’twould throw such a
col’ness over de mcetin’.”
Pompey evidently believed in a creed
that did not interfere with a man’s re
ligion or his politics.
Mitchel. —And now it has transpired
that John Mitciiel was a naturalized
citizen of the United States, and there
fore ineligible to the British Parlia
ment. He became “ one of us ” in
1860.
