"THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1875.
THE CONSTITUTIONALIST.
The Constitutionalist newspaper is
now owned by three gentlemen of this
city viz: Messrs. James G. Bailie, E.
Cogxn and George T. Jackson. This
change is owing to the purchase of the
franchise, good will and the whole out
fit of the Company by these gentle
men. It is the intention of the pro
prietors to continue the paper on a
sound and permanent basis. The ty
pographical department of the paper
has been remodeled, and a high
standard will be kept up, so that
it shall be the equal in all re
spects of the very best journals in
the South. The ability of the proprie
tors to make good this programme is
well known. It will be the endeavor
of the parties in charge of the editorial
and business management to second
their design.
Henceforth, the business manage
ment will be in the keeping of Mr. H.
C. Stevenson, who succeeds Capt. Geo.
Adam. Mr. Stevenson has been for a
number of years connected with the
press as a writer, and unites with very
superior literary accomplishments ad
ministrative abilities of a high order.
His letters from Macon to the Chroni
cle and Sentinel, under the signature of
“Jean Valjean,” and his correspond
ence with the Louisville Courier-Jour
nal, have given him a wide reputation.
Mr. James R. Randall will remain at
his post as editor-in-chief.
The writer cannot forbear, in parting
with Capt. Geo. Adam, late Business
Manager, to tender him an affectionate
farewell. It is not without a feeling
akin to pain that we bid him good-by,
and it is our fervent prayer that one
who has so long been attached to the
fortunes of this paper, and so highly
esteemed by this whole community,
may prosper always in any calling to
which he may devote his time and tal
ents.
FRENCH FINANCE.
Hon. Hugh McCulloch, once Secre
tary of the United States Treasury and
now a London banker, is writing a
series of articles on the subject of
French Finance. Drawing a graphic
picture of the losses sustained by
France from foreign invasion, civil
war, dismemberment of territory and
the enormous tribute exacted by her
conqueror, Mr. McCulloch writes:
What those demands were the world
knows—the cession of two ot her beautiful
and productive provinces, and the payment
of a thousand millions of dollars to indem
nify Germany for the expenses of the war.
Never before had a great and powerful na
tion been so speedily and thoroughly mas
tered; rarely, If ever, had a brave and
proud people been compelled to conclude
hostilities with so disastrous results. With
a Government provisional only; with a de
moralized people; with an empty treasury,
an immense debt, to be nearly doubled by
the expenditures of a single year (including
the indemnity), this great nation, hereto
fore one of the most powerful and influen
tial in Europe, seemed to be on the verge
of political and financial ruin.
He then goes on to describe how tre
mendous diffloiilties were surmounted,
and attributes the almost miraculous
recuperation of the country to the sin
gular fact that finance and politics are,
to a very considerable extent, divorced
from each other in the Land of the
Gaul. He shows, too, that this sepa
ration of commercial credit from polit
ical disorder has made the conquered
country the most thriving in Europe
and perhaps the world, while the con
quering nation has been somewhat
embarrassed, in spite of the treasures
thrown into her lap.
The Baltimore Sun, welcoming these
contributions to political economy, is
pleased to learn that a future article
on this subject from the pen of Mr.
McCulloch will compare the French
success and its causes with the Amer
ican failure. The same paper says :
“ The well known economic habits of
the French people will be shown to
have served largely as the basis of the
great result. The French live within
their incomes, so far as the mass of
the people are concerned, and consider
it a virtue to hoard, so that the chances
of the future may be discounted by
prudence in the present. When the
great national loan was called for it
came out of the hoards of small farm
er's and tradesmen, who had the specie
hid away and lying idle, and, having
full confidence in the honor of France,
were willing to lend.”
As Mr. McCulloch, in one of his re
ports, if not in two of them, candidly
admitted that the cotton crop of the
South, immediately after the war be
tween the States, saved the United
States Government from bankruptcy,
we shall expect him* to make the
strong point that the welfare of the
North and the whole Union is mainly
dependent upon the commercial free
dom of the South, and that the grand
reason why the United States have not
recovered, as the French did, is be
cause, in attempting to reconstruct
labor and the laws of race, in the in
terest of a political faction, they struck
a blow, and almost a deadly one, at
the genuine source of prosperity.
OUR NEXT GOVERNOR.
Reckless of the pronunciamento that
the premature announcement of as
piring Presidents or Governors is only
an untimely plugging of melons, some
of our contemporaries have named
their favorites or else trotted out a
whole array of candidates for Gover
nor of Georgia. The Hon. John H.
James has made a kind of advertise
ment of himself, or his friends have
done it for him, and the biography of
that good and great man is now going
the rounds of the press, on what terms
we know not. It may be that this way
of courting popular favor is the best
way, but we doubt it. Mr. James is
“going,” “going,” like an auctioneer’s
commodity, but long before the nomi
nation for Governor he may be “gone”
“ gone up,” in point of fact.
Dog Law.—The United States Econo
mist thinks the most civilized act of the
Tennessee Legislature was passing a
dog law for the protection of sheep.
SUICIDE.
The papeis are constantly bringing
us sad accounts of suicide. In some
portions of the country self slaughter
has become alarmingly frequent, and,
in Baltimore, of late, it has amounted
almost to an epidemic. In some cases,
disappointed love is the assignable
cause ; in others, poverty was the pro
vocation. The Brooklyn scandal has
developed mania and suicide in some
minds, and even religious excitement
claims its victims. There are other
cases in which shame following the
discovery of defalcations has worked
woe; and then again men have, merely
from eccentric weariness of pursuing
an ordinary routine of life, escaped the
monotony of an existence here for the
unknown evils of a hereafter. The de
sign of all seems to have been to get
rid, at any cost, of this world’s contact,
in hopes no doubt that there is noth
ing beyond worse than the spectre
which confronts them on this terres
trial balk They seemed to dwell upon
the idea that
A little phial of arsenious acid,
Opium, pistols, daggers, what you will,
Can ferry us across that river placid
Where all is still.
To our mind it is plain that, in spite
of the singular deliberation evinced in
numberless cases, no man or woman,
in his or her right senses, ever broke
the golden bowl or severed the silver
cord of life. There is a delusion some
where in the intellect, and appalled by
that phantom, which seems only too
substantial, unhappy mortals solve the
dread problem of eternity in express
defiance of the eternal mandate: “Thou
shalt not kill!”
It is easy enough to understand, in
Pagan philosophy, how men should die
by their own hands, because, in the cur
rent teaching of the old mythology,
suicide was regarded rather in the
light of a virtue than a misdemeanor.
The sword of Brutus and the dagger of
Lucretia have become historical, and
the ancient writers have rather com
mended the one for refusing to survive
defeat in battle and the other
scorning to outlive the forced dis
honor of her person. But the
Christian precept is not of this
dispensation. We are instructed that
the pangs of poverty may be assuaged
by religion ; that the Redeemer of the
World was born in a stable and had
not where to lay His head ; that He
has covenanted to be the Father of the
Poor; that the mite of the indigent
will weigh down, in the awful pageant
of the Judgment, the gold and jewels
of the rich. We are taught, too, that
though our sins be as scarlet they
shall, by repentance, be made whiter
than snow; that the worst life is pos
sible of sanctification; that, however
man may trample upon the criminal,
the King of Heaven will not refuse
him a seat beside His Throne, if he
knocks contritely at the door of mer
cy. To religion, too, we owe It that
there is no human love which may
not be healed of disappointment, and
that such blasted affections can be
made as precious as the broken oint
ment box of Magdalen, by transferriag
passion for a thing of clay into adora
tion of the Lord of Glorv. We doubt
not such thoughts as these have pre
vented many persons from murdering
themselves; and when these ideas have
had no virtue and no influence, surely
it must have been because the minds
of the unfortunate were not responsi
ble, but, like Ophelia’s, “sweet bells,
jangled, out of tune and harsh.” For
these, and such as these, we have only
pity and hope. Alas! some who have
made way with themselves have been
among the best of human beings, and
inflicted punishment upon themselves,
thinking that they had fatally
offended the very Providence they
reverenced so much and so devoutly.
That the diseases of the body and
mind are important factors in evoking
suicide, every physician knows, and
the records of insane asylums demon
strate that often, with the cure of a
corporeal distemper, the clouds have
rolled away from the mind and left it,
as well as the overburdened soul, clear,
sunshiny and wholesome.
Very baffling and mysterious is the
perplexity of those men who, apparently
in possession of every blessing this world
can bestow, suddenly, and to the sur
prise of whole communities, put an
end to their existence. All Baltimore,
at this moment, is agog over the death
of a merchant named Ahbens, by his
own act He was young, not long
married, happy at home, extremely
rich, free from business and social
entanglements, so far as any one can
conjecture. And yet, after taking a
pleasant 3 troll beneath the oaks at
Druid Hill Park, and in the very con
templation of all that nature could
give of God’s marvellous creation, he
leaned against a tree, and dared to
gaze no more upon the sun. And
there, with a bullet in his brain, a pis
tol by his side, and a prodigious bank
account in his pocket, he was found—
dead, dead. He was temperate, well
educated, youthful, a happy husband
and father, rich beyond the common
run of men—and yet he chose to
abandon all of these treasures in one
wild moment of despair. He Is said to
have been of a sensitive tempera
ment, and subject to spells of
mental excitement ; but usually such
a disposition is elastic and springs
back from a morbid moment to
a beautiful one, with alertness and
promptitude. But one Spring morn
ing, in a very Eden, when the first
buds and birds of Spring peeped forth
from the lair of the Winter, the bow
string snapped and he became a
. , “a thing
O’er which the raven flaps its funeral wing.”
Our attention has been drawn to a
paragraph in the Courier-Journal allud
ing to this tendency, and it draws a wise
conclusion. The deductions are these:
“ Does business trouble lead to sui
cide ? Is that the sought for necessary
concomitant? Now, who ever heard
of a longshoreman killing himself ?
Look at all these strikes, with their at
tendant suffering; these men do not
kill themselves, as, on theory, they
ought to, by the hundred. These
miners in Pennsylvania are mighty
handy at killing ether people, but they
never think of killing themselves. By
what rule then may we judge of this
matter ? By none at all. Borne people
kill themselves under certain circum
stances, and others under the same cir
cumstances never think of such a thing.
Some whom we would select as the
most likely to cut their own throats in
the fury of passion, never of
harming themselves, and let off steam
by scolding their wives, or kicking the
dog ; while others, meek and gentle
mannered with all their friends, con
siderate even to brute animals, without
half as much cause as some other per
sons for profound melancholy and
weariness of life, calmly and deli
berately pass the edge of the razor
over their throats and so drop all their
troubles.”
Ah, it is a great mystery! We strive
to solve it, but we cannot go beyond
our chain. The Power that made us
alone holds the k il and we can but
submit to the flat >nd trust to a mercy
surpassing that of the world. We do
not know that this is a subject to be
pursued or dwelt upon, but famous
writers, especially those who loved to
dissect the secrets of our nature, and,
if possible, drag forth truth and con
solation, have made their discoveries
known. In poetry, what can be com
pared to Tennyson’s Two Voices; out
side of the theologies of the churches,
who has so exhaustively presented the
argument for suicide and the more
powerful argument against it than
Jean Jacques Rousseau?

BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIA
TIONS.
In answer to a qmestion propounded
by us, several days ago, a correspond
ent, who signs himself “ A Poor Man,”
gives his views, this morning, upon the
value of Building and Lqan Associa
tions, and how it is possible for even
the salaried men among us to have
homes of their own. This communica
tion is written in a plain and unpre
tending style, but the writer evidently
has a clear knowledge of the subject
as well as experience in the working of
mutual benefit societies. There is
great happiness for families in posses
sion of a home that belongs to them,
and it should be the prime duty of all
married men to use strenuous
exertions, and even submit to
some sacrifices, in order to bet
ter their condition and that of
their wives and children. We should
be glad, indeed, to know that a ma
jority of the mechanics of Augusta had
houses in their own right, and it will
be our pleasure and duty to assist, in
every possible way, the accomplish
ment of such a project. When a man
gets a home for himself, he is very
apt to improve it, and one of the es
sentials is a good newspaper. Augusta
has two excellent journals, and he
would be a hard man indeed to please
if one or the other of them did not
make his hearthstone the brighter and
better for its daily presence.
MONTGOMERY* W EST POINT
RAILROAD FIRST MORTGAGE
COUPONS.
Holders of coupons of the first mort
gage bonds of tbo Montgomoi y ami
West Point Railroad would, we sup
pose, like to know how soon their cou
pons will be paid, and where.
After the legal sale it was, as we are
informed, determined to invite the
holders of past due coupons of this
road, now Western Railroad of
Alabama, to present the same to the
Georgia Railroad and Central Railroad
Companies, as may be convenient to
the holder, on or before the 6th day of
May next, in order that the necessary
steps may be taken to have these cou
pons paid as soon as the recent sale of
the Western Railroad of Alabama shall
be confirmed, by the Chancellor, say
on the 10th of May next, when he will
pronounce finally. If not presented to
the above named companies, by or be
fore the 6th of May, and a memoran
dum thereof made, then the holders of
these coupons will have to go or send
to Montgomery for their money. We
make this intimation for the informa
tion of holders of these coupons.
THE NINTH DISTRICT.
We publish this morning an inter
view between Hon. B. H. Hill and a
reporter of the Atlanta Herald. Mr.
Hint, makes very serious accusations
against the friends of Mr. Bell, in
convention assembled. They are
charged with being political traders,
and Mb. Hiij, says the dead-lock could
be broken at once, and In his favor,
had he been disposed at any time to
make merchandize of himself and his
fortunes. As Mr. Hill is so positive
in his declarations, and boldly an
nounces that they can be backed by
proof, it would appear that the Gaines
ville Convention has some very scan
dalous elements, which threaten to
breed trouble to the Democratic party
and cast a blight on the fair fame of
IJorth Georgia. The friends of Mr.
Bbll “can hardly remain silent under
such reproaches, and, for the sake of
all concerned, we trust Mr. Hill is,
to some extent at least, mistaken.
Mr. Hill, in conclusion, announces
his determination to run for Congress,
in case the Gainesville Convention
should fail to make a nomination, and
he evidently thinks that such will be
the inevitable result, in case the
friends of Mr. Bell persist in their in
tentions.
Then and Now.—The New York Her
aid calls attention to the fact that, one*
hundred years ago, when the battle of
Lexington was fought, the trees were
budding; the grass growing rankly a
full month before its time; the blue
bird and the robin gladdening the ge
nial season and calling forth the beams
of the sun, which, on that morning,
shone with the warmth of Summer.
Centennial day was the reverse of
this. It came with snow and (sold. The
bluebird did not put in an appearance,
and, so far as we can learn, Nature
intimated that men who had violated
the principles of 1775 did not; deserve
robins and a warm sua.
Mrs. Dan Rice carries all the money
in her pocket, and all the real estate in
her own name, and Daniel may fail
twice a year if he wants to.
Bump on a Tree.—The Savannah
News says:
Like the old man of the sea. Grant likes
his position, and is determined to “hold
his holt.” There is no use of trying either
to drive or coax him to relax his grip on
the neck of the party who elevated him to
power, and what makes the case worse,
unlike Sinbad’s tormentor, the more, the
Radicals bribe and treat Grant, the firmer
he’s going to stick.
Our contemporary certainly would
not like that incubus to drop off. If
he'is weighing down the Radical horse
so that he cannot win the race, why
not be pleased at Ulysses’ determina
tion to stick like a pitch-plaster, and
thereby give the Democracy a better
chance ?
Sheridan & Co.—Five ejected Demo
cratic members of the Louisiana Legis
lature have really and truly brought
suits against Gen. Sheridan and Col. De
Trobriand for SIOO,OOO damages each.
Uncle Sam will defend his soldiery.
Louisiana matters look squally and
charges and counter-charges are flying
thick and fast, attributing Tunic faith
to Democrats and Republicans. We
must await further faots before con
demning either the one side or the
other. Hasty judgments are seldom
j ust ones.

ANALYSIH
OF THE
LAGER BEER
FROM
E. ANIIEUHEB At CO.,
IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI t
TJ. S. NAVAL LABORATORY, /
► New York, September, 1874. f
The “ST. LOTUS LAGER BEER" of E.
Anheueer & Cos., at St. Louis, 410., having
been analysed, gave the following results:
Specifle Gravity 1.02 per cent.
Extracted Matter 7.32 “
CarbonioAcid 0.16 “
Alcohol 4.80 “
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 manufactured in our market; its sub
stance of carbonic acid is superior even to
the Scotch Ale, Salvator Beer, Braun
schweiger Mumrne and Munehener Lager
Beer- its substance of alcohol comes near
the “Munehener Hofbrau,” and its extract
substance proves to be between the “Zacherl
Doppelbier” and the “Salvator Boer.”
CONCLUSIONS FROM TUB ANALYSIS OF THB
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 beer is that it
keeps in good condition under all circum
stances. W. C. CONRAD,
