THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1875.
A LIBERAL REPUBLICAN
LEADER.
The Atlanta Herald is a smart paper
* for interviewing great men. It displays
really consummate ability ia this re
spect, and can catch a distinguished
character “on the fly,” with the ex
pertness of a metropolitan journal.
The reporter of that enterprising and
very lively sheet has made a fresh
capture in the Hon. David Clarke, the
leading Liberal Republican of Con
necticut. The Hon. David has a hob
by on the subject of the colored race.
Ho thinks, no doubt, that a black is in
no respect different from a white man
save in the color of his skin. Ho also
apparently falls into the error of sup
posing that a mulatto or quadroon has
any distinctive race at all. His hobby
of equalizing white and black is educa
tion. Forgetful of the lesson taught
by the Egyptian monuments, the
experience of thousands of years
since, and the experiment of England
in the West Indies, Mr. Clarke is still
a monomaniac on the subject or race
unity, and the capability of the negro,
by education, attaining equality with
the whites. He was the patron of
Smith, the “speckled Mongolian, 1 ' as
Senator wraaiu... •iwi —im be
came notorious as the “negro cadet,”
although he had very little Ethiopian
blood In him. We quote, on this point,
from the Herald:
Mr. Clarke is the gentleman who was
the patron of the notorious West Point ne
gro cadet, Smith, tho first negro boy that
was ever admitted to West Point, and
whose adventures there filled so large a
space in tiie public journals at one time-
Mr. Clarke found him on his travels and
gave him an education in Hartford, and
finally got him in at West Point. lie re
presents Smith as a remarkably bright boy
of uncommon aptitude for learning, and
withal very modest. Mr. Clarke charges
President Grant with having gone back on
the boy, in violation of his promises.
Siam's brightness seemed to have j
deserted him at West Point, as well as |
his modesty. At all events, he was j
plucked m his examination and became •
a general nuisance to the white boys, ;
whose theory and practice did not ex- :
actiy coincide.
We judge from the Herald’s report, 1
that the chief reason why Mr. Clarke !
revolted against Grant was because j
the President did not sympathize with ;
his experiments in social science at
West Point. Tnerefore, he went over
to Greeley, who was considered
“ sound on the goose,” as a confirmed
believer in race-unity and its attendant
monstrosities.
We quote Mr. Clarke’s political
views:
He was uncertain as to whether Grant
would bo renominated, but if renominated
he declare 1 that Grant could not be
elected. He took a very intelligent view of
matters. He said tiro business men of tho
North were interested in a change. The
country could not bo prosperous with a
Federal policy that depressed tiie South.
Northern business men feltltlns, and hold
ing Grant’s administration and Radical
policy responsible for Southern depres
sion, they were resolved to have a change in
the hope of something better. Mr. Clarke
thought it fortunate that Greeley was
not elected, as the disasters that have visi
ted the country and which could not have
been averted in so short a time, would then
have been laid to Greeley's door, As it is
the responsibility falls where it belongs,and
the doom of evil rule is more certain than
ever at the hands of an outraged people.
Mr. Clarke does not seem to under
stand that the policy carried out by
Grant is the policy of the Republican
party to which he belongs; and that
the Reconstruction laws, approved by
Clarke, are simply executed rigorously
by Grant. Why Grant should be
damned by a Liberal Republican like
Clarke, because lie executes Clarke’s |
theories, is beyond comprehension. It j
is Clarke’s theory reduced to practice j
by Grant that is paralyzing the indus- !
try of the South and demoralizing the ;
whole country. The true target for
assault is the law- that kills, not so j
much tiie man who wields the law like !
a thunderbolt. Strike down the law, j
and the tyrant has his right arm shiv- !
ered with the blow. Strike down the j
tyrant and yet leave the law, what is I
the result but supplementing a military
Executive with a crazy, fanatical phil
osopher ?
After detailing Mr. Clarke’s stu
dious effort to get Smith, the so
called negro cadet, into Harvard and
West Point, the Herald reporter coolly
tells us that the “ leading Liberal Re
publican of Connecticut” is not a “cham
pion of Civil Rights.’’ We daresay ho
halts where most of his kfnd do, on the
threshold of bis own home ; but does
not hesitate to push his doctrines be
yond the threshold of his neighbor.
Blaine-Beecher.—The ex-Speaker
of the House of Representatives is re
ported as saying that “the Beecher
scandal had cost the Republican party
its supremacy ; that too much progress J
was the trouble with tho party. We !
had progressed through the negro and
made him a citizen ; we had progressed !
through the States and made them j
into provinces ; and now this infernal '
scandal business threatens to exhibit I
the Republican chiefs in the role pro
gressing clear through the family
circle, and that the people would not
stand it.”
And yet, Mr. Blaine is for making
another fight on that nasty issue, and
there are good-hearted men who think
Blaine might be elected by Democrats
on a Greeley platform.
Editors. —The revivalist Hammond,
now in California, pronounces report
ers and newspaper men generally an
unregenerate set. We learn that he
has accordingly held some special
prayer meetings in San Francisco, at
which he earnestly pleaded that the
wicked ones might be turned from their
evil ways and led Into the paths of !
righteousness. He has had little en- !
couragement, however, and declared j
that he believes it would be more diftl- j
cult for a secular journalist to enter
the “pearly gates” than for a camel to
pass through a needle's eye.
If a newspaper man is to be bedevil
ed here and hereafter, too, his case is
hard indeed.
WORKINGMEN AND THEIIt
MONEY.
The New York Times has a very
readable article, in a recent isstio, on
the attempt of workingmen in various
, parts of the country to combine their
, savings for the common good of their
' lass. In Philadelphia 600 associations
have been formed by workingmen,
which control £150,000,000 of savings,
so that nearly every mechanic has his
own house. It is the prime argu
ment of building associations that
men are every year throwing
away on rents money enough to
procure houses of their own. The
Times says : “It is well known that
iD Germany an immense system of
mutual popular banks called the Del
itzeh Loan Associations has been
founded by the laboring class itself,
and that the continual loaning and
turning over of the funds of these
banks to working people on real estate
security has been a great source of
profit to the banks, and an especial
assistance to the working people them
selves. Thus a working man wishing
to start a trade, and having both the
skill and the acquaintances necessary,
need only obtain a loan from a Del
itzch Bank to begin a profitable busi
ness. This he can obtain if he be a
member of the co-operative associa
tion and can furnish good security.
TLio mutual bauking arrangement has
reached an immense development in
Germany, and seems to correspond to
tiie building association movement
which has sprung up so quietly, and
has been so successful in Pennsylvania.”
The chief obstacle, according to the
Times, in the permanent and universal
success of such institutions, is the
difficulty of getting officers gifted with
the proper management cf money.
We judge, too, that the Times has
not much faith in tho Pennsylvania as
sociations, now that the conditions of
success are being removed. The rea
sons given are these:
Tho experience in Pennsylvania is cer
! tainly a remarkably hopeful and encour
( aging one. It is possible that a considera- i
ble class of investors or bankers have al
ready been trained up among the mechan
ics, but the probability is that tiie building
movement came in on the wave of advanc
ing prices after the opening of the wa
that ail the investments of the associate
were made for a long time on a rising mi
ket, and ia consequence were successful
The commencing fail of prices has already
injured some of the associations, and
we expect to hear of other losses as prices
fall toward “hard-pan.” The experience in
Connecticut of building associations was
peculiarly disastrous. In tho year 1850,
under an act somewhat like that which is
proposed by Hon. Joslah Quincy to the
Massachusetts State Legislature, a large
number of building associations were in
corporated among tho working people of
Connecticut. Considerable capital was
withdrawn from the savings banks and
put into them; great numbers of small
houses were erected by them for me
chanics and laborers, but nearly all
the associations came to a disastrous
end. The houses were returned to
the associations, and were sold at low
prices at auction. The buildings them
selves proved often poor and worthless;
tho funds of the associations were lost or
wasted, and finally tho whole scheme burst
as a speculative bubble.
We should like very much to know
what is the actual experience of Loan j
and Building Associations in the South.
Have they operated for the general or
only for individual benefit? Any infor
mation on this subject would be gladly
welcomed. It is certain that the rent 9
of this season for stores and dwellings
can not be easily obtained next year, in
the face of a general shrinkage. The
true philanthopist a3 well as the wise
man, we take it, will be he who shall
make it possible for the poor to rent
decent dwellings, at a moderate sum,
and not compel them to live in mere
rookeries for comparatively large
amounts per month or quarter. We be
lieve such a desirable result is within
the range of the capitalist, without any
detriment to his investment.
TROUBLE AT THE NORTH.
In a recent issue of th e Washington
Chronicle we fin and a denial of the state
ment that the North was not prosper
ous. It would bt? tedious to go over
the whole field, but the New York
Daily Bulletin summarizes the enor
mous waste of wealth in one depart
ment alone, which may be taken as a
test of all. Alluding to the miners’
war in Pennsylvania, the Bulletin “cal
culates that £500,000,000 of capital and
100,000 persons are now idle in this
one State, Bimply on account of the
strikes. The loss in wages is £200,000,
and on capital (at 6 per cent.) £75,000 a
day. Thus tho laborers lost eight
dollars per day, while capital loses
only three dollars. The aggregate loss
per week is £1,650,000, without taking
into account any profits of production
to capitalists and the country. Such a
condition of affairs, prolonged for ,
mouths, is abnormal, and we doubt 1
that mere obstinacy on either side or
both, will suffice to explain it. Money
would not thus lie idle, if profits were ;
sure. Protection has overdone many
manufactures dependent on Pennsyl
vania coal and iron, wade panic and |
depression have decreased the demand.
These facts possess an important bear
ing on the situation, and those who
throw all the blame cn the miners are |
equally at fault with those who con
demn the capitalists exclusively.”
Moral Ideas. —A correspondent of
the New York Times writes:
Gen. Hawley has the satisfaction of
knowing that he is the choice of a very
large majority of the intelligent voters !
of the district, and was only defeated by j
the brute force of ignorance ia the lowest 1
wards of two cities.
The Union and American, of Nash- j
ville, retorts:
That sounds strangely in a paper that (
has since the war devoted its energies to I
uphold negro domination in the South, j
How many Radical Congressmen from the
Southern States since the war have had
“the satisfaction of knowing that they
were the choice of the intelligent voters of
the district?”
Sauce for the goose is not sauce for !
the gander, according to Radical ethics.
The Republican party was started upon
its victorious career by Henry Winter
Davis, who declared that the field
should be conquered by “numbers and
not intelligence.” Curses are coming
home to roost.
Spelling and Writing.—Speculating
as to the probability of some men
writing badly as a convenient method
of conceaiiug their addictions to a “bad
spell.” the New Orleans Picayune says :
“Once Col. Foiiney wrote a compli
mentary letter to Mi - . Jhoatk, oongratu
lating that gentleman on a gi oat speech
which he had just delivered. In the
rhetorical and poetical stylo for which
he is famous, Col. Forney wrote : ‘You
seem a heathen heaven in yourself, and
top high crowned Olympus.’ Unhappy
Forney!
“Mr. Choate, after vainly struggling
with the intricacies and sinuosities of
the manuscript for several days, finally
rendered the sentence thus: ‘You
seem a heathen in heaven, you ivretch,
at top a fly-blown bumpus.’ Indignant
at this unprovoked assault he wrote a
scorching reply, which Col. Forney still
preserves in his album as a cordial in
vitation to dinner.”
Democratic.—A party of gentlemen,
representing themselves as “ unrecon
structed rebels,” called on Gen. Grant,
the other day, who received them
most cordially. During the conversa
tion, which was carried on without
ceremony, odq of the visitors told the
President he had so often heard of
White House whiskey that he would
like to taste it. Grant forthwith ordered
a bottle to be brought and all hands
took a pull together. The visiting party,
in departing, pronounced the Preei
pent’s whiskey prime stuff, and joined
in the statement that tho old man was
not such a bad fellow, after
Cotton.—The Financial
makes two calculations on the n.
crop. The result is, in the first case, u
total crop of 4,095,000 ; and, in the sec
ond, 3,916,000 bales.

OF THE
LAGER BEER
FROM
E. ANHEUSEU & CO.,
181 ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI t
U. 8. NAVAL LABORATORY, I
New York, September, 1871. j
Tho “ST. LOUIS LAGER BEER” of E.
Anheuser <fc Cos., at St. Louis, Mo., having
been analysed, gave the following results:
Specifle Gravity 1.02 per cent.
Extracted Matter 7.32 “
Carbonic Acid 0.16 “
Alcohol ~.4.33 “
Ashes 0.24 “
From these figures it will be readily seen
that the “St. Louis Lager Beer” proves a
heavier specific weight than all other beer
now manutaetured in our market; its sub
stance of carbonic acid is superior even to
tho Scotch Ale, Salvator Beer, Braun
schweiger Mutnrae and Munchener Lager
Beer - its substance of alcohol comes near
the “Munchener Hofbrau,” and its extract
substance proves to be between the “Zacherl
Doppelbior” and the ‘ Salvator Boer.”
CONCLUSIONS FROM THE ANALYSIS OF THE
QUALITY:
The quality of this Beer, as shown by our
analysis, is superior by its pureness, as no
extraneous matter could be detected. The
large amount of extract substance (malt be
ing used In extraordinary great quantities,
which, having been roasted, gives the beer
that peculiar flavor of fresh bread) makes
this beer a very nourishing and highly re
commendable drink for medicinal purposes.
Another good quality of this boor is that it
keeps in good condition under all circum
stances. W. C. CONRAD,
