THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
TUESDAY, MARCH 30, 1875.
CANAL FRAUDS.
New York State is in a commotion
concerning Gov. Tilden’s attack upon
Canal frauds. The message of the
Governor is thus condensed by the
Herald:
Amount of Con- Amount Ac
tract on Exhibit- tually Paid
eil Quantities at by State up to

Contract No. 10... 45,300 00 1 1,93 jo 5
Totals $424,735 90 $1,560,769 84
The Bulletin shows up the contrac
tors and their vuxhis operandi and
illustrates the difference between ac
cepting a bid and being paid for the job
itself. The following parties are ex
posed : James H. Sherrill gets a con
tract, as the lowest bidder, to do work
at $85,000, yet extracts from the trea
sury $222,000! Edward B Van Dedsen,
another “lowest bidder,” was given
two contracts, one at $72,000, the other
at $14,000 ; but swells his claims to
$14,000 and $19,000 respectively. Chas.
P. Skinner agreed to improve certain
sections of the Erie Canal for $27,000,
but his bill ran up to $68,000, and he
got the money. Then we have a $9,000
contract of a Mr. Belden, growing up,
like Jonah’s gourd in a night, to $43,000.
Henry J. Mowry, one of the Black Rock
River clique, bid for some work that
was to cost, according to his contract,
$252,245 ; the amount thus far paid to
him is $189,550 ; the amount “paid and
owing” is set down at $234,803.88!
From these specifications it would
appear that politicians, with a little
management, can make a canal some
thing of a “bonanza” to themselves
and a burden to the people who pay
taxes but do not by any means control
tiie voting.
CONNECTICUT.
In spite of the vigorous Republican
canvass in Connecticut, the chances of
defeat, for that party have brightened
very much of late. The leading Ger
man Republican paper, published at
New Haven, has gone over to the De
mocracy, much to the consternation of
certain “trooly loil” managers, and
gives the following reason therefor:
The principles of the Republican party,
as established and carried out from 1860 to
1868, could not have been better, but since
Grant’s administration came in the worst
political elements have been thrust into
power, and nothing but a thorough weed
ing out of the same will ever restore the
country to its former prosperity. There
fore it is highly necessary that the Repub
lican party at this time should receive a re
minder to reilect. The much needed re
form can be had only when the German
Republicans cast their votes for such
Democratic candidates as are known to be
men of honor and sound judgment. To
abstain from voting would not have the
desired effect. We must make our vote a
telling one.
The stagnation of trade and priva
tions of the working classes at the
North have caused intense dissatis
faction with the party in power. But
the workingmen of the North are just
as much to blame as anybody else, save
the original abolitionists, for their pres
ent trouble. They helped free negroes
to enslave themselves, and are now
reaping the results.
A. J. —The Richmond Enquirer, which
has said some of the hardest things of
Grant we ever read, thus criticizes
Andrew Johnson’s speech: “ There can
be no doubt about it that the effect of
his speech will be weakened by his
personal abuse of Grant. He has fol
lowed in the wake of Sumner too much
in that, and we all remember how little
effect Sumner’s speech had. But upon
the whole the speech of Mr. Johnson,
while not his ablest, was a very able
one aud will have its share in shaping
the course of events.”
Abuse of Grant in certain quarters
only strengthens him; while an attack
upon the veritable usurpations of the
Radical party can do Democracy no
harm.
Georgia Democracy.— The Atlanta
Herald remembers to have heard a lead
ing member of the Legislature from
Cherokee Georgia, offer to wager, just
before the House adjourned, one thous
and dollars that the next nominee of
the Democratic Convention would be
beaten by an independent.
When a party becomes too large and
too bulbous, it is apt to segregate; the
more so, as Bulwer expresses it, be
cause “ intellect is lost in the crowd.”
Wealth and Madness.— Mr. Anthony
Compton, 26 years of age, worth §2,-
000,000 and the heir of $1,000,000 more,
has been sent to an insane asylum. He
imagined that his wife and other rela
tives were trying to get his money.
From the present constitution of soci
ety, we are of opinion he was perhaps
right in his conjecture and grew mad
by method.
mi •
Mediums.— A spiritualistic medium,
named Webster, who equals the Da
venport Brothers, came to grief in Sa
vannah. He submitted to confinement
in a straight-jacket, and had his
arms and legs “ tacked ” to the cabi
net. He was utterly .defeated in this
test, and proved a clever juggler, under
given conditions—only this and noth
ing more.
B-T.—Two or three negro or colored
witnesses have appeared in the B-T.
trial, to blacken the character of Tilton.
The idea of Mr. Beecher’s lawyers
seems to be to prove “Theodore” as
guilty as Beecher. So far, “ honors are
easy.”
Ransom.— The most polished speech,
as well as the most sensible, made by
any Southern Senator, during the recent
session, was that of Gen. Ransom, of
North Carolina. It was an epitome of
brilliant rhetoric and genuine patriot
ism.
Pullman.— According to the Mobile
Register, the Pullman sleeping cars
have been opened freely to negroes.
White folks are warned what to expect
in the way of company.
PARDEE.
•
When Grant endeavored to make
amends for the infamy of Judge Du
rell by nominating as his successor a
“gentleman and a just man,” the Re
publican majority in the Senate refused
to confirm him. The Richmond Dis
patch, which has not been particularly
friendly of late to the President, says :
“ Pardee was irreproachable, and
therefore not the proper instrument fox
persecution of the South aud for that
corruption upon which the Radical
party subsists. So he had to die.”
“Gen. Grant is erratic. He does
some strange things, and now aud then
a good thing. To us he is a mystery.
He certainly ought to be allowed to do
a good thing when he has a mind to.
But that relenyess and ruthless Re
publican party, which never deviates
into justice and humanity, would not
permit this.”
To which we may add that when this
mysterious man does something com
mendable he deserves to be praised
for it. In the nomination of Pardee,
he exhibited good sense and patriotism,
not to speak of friendship for Loui
siana. The men who rejected this
nomination are the true architects of
ruin, and a great deal worse than
President Grant.
Bismarck. —The bestowal upon Prince
Bismarck of the Duchy of Lauenberg
makes him a Prince indeed. The
World says two centuries ago the Bis
marcks were “country gentlemen;” now
he mounts above the Hohenlohes, the
Furstenbergs, the Auersbergs, as well
as above the Hatzfeldts and the Blu
chers, and takes his place for himself
and his descendants among the Grand
Dukes of Oldenburg, of Mecklenburg,
and of Saxony, the Princes of Schwarz
burg, of Reuss, and of Liechtenstein.
In a word, he reaches the rank of a sov
ereign-—of a subject-sovereign, to be
sure, if on| may use such a phrase, but
still of a sovereign, and achieves for
himself as much as the first founders
of the House of Hohenzollern con
trived to do when they first made way
for themselves into the charmed circle
of the electors of the Holy Roman Em
pire.
Dyspepsia. —A writer in the Medina
Journal, discoursing on
says : “We have seen dyspeptics who
suffered untold torments with almost
every kind of food, and torments of
which they did not tell after some
medicines given for relief. No liquid
could be taken* without suffering.
Bread became a burning acid. Meat
and milk were solid and liquid fires.
And we have seen .their torments pass
away and their hunger relieved by liv
ing upon the white of eggs, which had
been boiled in bubbling water for thirty
minutes. Ac the end of a week, wo
have given the hard yolk of the egg
with the white, and upon this diet
alone, without fluid of any kind, we
have seen them begin to gain flesh and
strength and refreshing sleep. After
weeks of this treatment they have
been able, with care, to begin upon
other food. And all this,” the writer
adds. “ without taking medicine.” He
says that hard-boiled eggs are not half
so bad as half-boiled ones, and ten
times as easy to digest as raw eggs,
even in egg-nog.
The only trouble about this is that
men who suffer torture from dyspepsia
will not diet, and prefer sausages and
physic to a simple remedy.
A Nice Editor. —Announcement has
been made that W. F. Storey, editor
of the Chicago Times, has had four in
dictments fgund against him by the
grand jury, three for libel and for
“ publishing an obscene paper known
as the Chicago Times, alias the Sun
day Times.” The latter offense con
sisted in the publication of an article
entitled “ Saturnalia of Vice,” which is
characterized in the indictment as “ so
lewd, lascivious, immoral, indecent,
scandalous and obscene that the same
would be offensive to the court here,
and improper to be placed upon the re
cords thereof.”
Cotton. —The cotton man of the At
lanta Constitution says :“Wo have hesi
tated for a few weeks past to write as
strongly as we have felt, but now we
say cotton holds an advanced position ;
the undertone Is very firm, and July
contracts bought at present prices will
double the margin in a few months.”
Spelling. —The words “cyme” and
“ syzygy ” settled the hash of a Wash
ington, D. C., spelling match.
