THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1875.
LOUISIANA.
Mr. Charles Nordhoff, a New York
Herald correspondent, has written a
■very interesting letter on Louisiana
affaire. He estimates that there are
fully 10,000 more white voters in Louisi
ana than black ones, but, according to
a census, taken in the Summer season
when many persons were absent from
ths State, the colored line is divided
between 87,076 whites and 86.913 colored
people. Of this mass of blacks about
5.000 are supposed to have voted the
Conservative ticket, while 5,000 white
men, principally adventurers from the
North and corrupt men of several
nationalities, voted for the Radicals.
The status politically in that unfortu
nate State is barbarism and roguery,
backed by the Reconstruction acts and
Federal bayonets, against property
holders and intelligence. Nothing but
tho operation of the XIV and XV
amendments could have caused such a
disgraceful and infamous situation—a
situation devised by Sumner, Greeley
& Cos. to pollute society and compel
honesty to submit to the plunder and
contamination of native and imported
brigands. Mr. Nordhoff, while detailing
those facts, manifests a gentle horror
of Democracy per se, and says he has
“frequently heard men who have been
active and foremost in the Conserva
tive movement, declare that ‘as soon
as wo have driven off the Radical
thieves and robbers who have so long
spoiled us we shall quickly show these
Democrats that they cannot hold the
State.’ There is not a shadow of doubt
that whenever Federal interference in
the State definitely ceases and honest
men have been put into power the
‘Conservative’ party—the white man’s
party—will incontinently split into two
nearly equal halves, and each will try,
with the help of the negroes, to beat
the other. But it is tolerably certain
that until this is accomplished the
white men will stick together, for they
cannot afford to do otherwise.”
To what depths of degradation has
Louisiana been dragged when, even
now in her death-struggle, white men
anxiously await the day when they
can, on ono side or the other, band
the negro votes for reciprocal, triumph
or destruction! Nobdhoff declares,
too, that in the wrestle for mastery be
tween Wiltz and Estilktte, the latter
did not hesitate to seek the aid of
Kellogg, while the former tried to
secure the co-operation of Pinchback.
The wily quadroon, Pinchback, with
his usual perfidy, abandoned Wiltz at
the supreme moment and defeated
him at the instance, it is said, of Gen.
Sheridan, a Congressman elected by
the Conservatives, although he had
grown rich on the sack of Louisiana
under Warmoth, and is an imported
ex-officer of the United States army,
full of eloquence and devoid of princi
ple. These be the gods of the Louisi
ana Israel!
The weak point in the situation, ac
cording to Mr. Nordhoff with, the Re
publicans, is that they have to deal with
two men, both of whom are weak and
both have corrupt allies. Estillete,
the Speaker, is too deaf to carry on
business in the House, has little
strength of character or personal pres
ence, and is said to have for friends
one or two men known as corrupt.—
The rivalry of Kellogg and Packard
for election to the Senate of the United
States is also a disorganizing element.
Largely as his prejudices are against
the Democrats, Mr. Nordhoff testifies
to the unutterable hatred borne by the
whites of all nationalities, except office
holders and their relations, to the
small band of Northern white men and
their mercenary Southern allies. This
sentiment is so universal that the
Herald correspondent declares that
even the negroes _who vote for the
Radical candidates acknowledge that
they are false and abominable beyond
belief.
This question naturally arises: How
does it happen that a mere handful
of Northern men could hold suoh a
State as Louisiana in their gripe,
trample her to the earth, despoil her
of her virtue, rob her of her wealth
and driv^thousands of her people to
self-slaughter? There is but one an
swer—Reconstruction, through the op
eration of the unconstitutional Amend
ments, passed by a Radical Congress
and executed by a Republican Presi
dent most rigorously. It is this Re
construction, this debaucher of society,
this tram pier of liberty,’ this destroyer
of States, this pilferer of wealth—this
unholy, abominable, obscene and can
cerous infamy that some of our lead
ers talk about accepting, endorsing,
consecrating and never questioning!
“A dead issue, all that,” says Oily-
Gammon. Dead indeed! It is the
most vital issue in American politics.
The utter obliteration of laws which
protect thieves and make them power
ful is the great question of the hour.
Strike down the laws, and the thieves
and tyrants fall into the abyss. Ac
cept and consecrate the laws, and the
result will be simply a substitution of
one lot of harpies for another.
Baltimore and St, Louis.— Noticing
the rate of taxation in Baltimore, the
St. Louis Republican says :
This, we believe, is nearly $i less than
the aggregate taxes in St. Louis. The pro
perty assessment of Baltimore Is $281,242,-
000, which is $53,000,000 greater than that of
St. Louis. The school tax is 21 cents, and
its estimated yield is $339,000, which is less
than one-half the amount called for by the
St. Louis public schools.
The Monumental City seems to be
much wealthier and better governed
than the Western metropolis.
Quinine.— A shipment of quinine to
China turned out, upon analysis, to be
only a clever imitation of that febrifuge
or anti-malarial, without any of its
specific virtues. The New York World
says the bogus medicine is sold in bot
tles labelled as follows: “ Sulfate de
Quinine de Pelletier, Delondre ©t Le
vaillant; 1 once Anglaise; Armet De
Lisle et Cie., Suoeesseurs; Paris Rue
NATIONAL FAITH AND FRENCH
FINANCE.
Mr. McCujxogh, ex-Secretary of the
Treasury, has written another letter on
French Finance. The Baltimore Sun
admirably condenses the main points
of this treatise, as follows :
Mr. McCulloch, not only explains by
what means France has been able to re
cover from the misfortunes of the Franco-
German war, but also demonstrates the
great value to a nation of the preservation
of its financial faith. He shows that in
reality France was not, at the conclusion of
the war, a poor country ; only ostensibly
so. In reality, notwithstanding her exhaust
ing wars, she has always been the richest
of the continental nations, and it is a
mooted question whether Great Britain has
the lead of her in wealth. As heretofore
shown, this wealth is ascribed to the re
markable economy of the people, who live
and live well, from their skill in cookery,
for half the cost of living In most of our
States. Mr. McCulloch thinks it may not
be too much to say that the entire popula
tion of France could be supported on food
which is literally wasted in the United
States. There has always been, too, moi*e
gold hoarded in France than in all other Eu
ropean countriescombined. They part with
their earnings only under pressing neces
sities, or in exchange for their own public
securities, in which, and in which only, the
masses have confidence, so that there has
always been in France an enormous
amount of gold and- silver, which the Gov
ernment could reach in recent years by the
offer of attractive loans to popular sub
scriptions. The French are not only eco
nomical and hoarding, but exceptionally
industrious, all the members of the family
among the industrial classes having some
employment by which mouey Is earned.
France has a fine climate and excellent
soil, which, though cultivated for centu
ries instead of being exhausted by a vic
ious system of husbandry or injured by
unskillful tillage, as is the case in many
parts of the United States, is now more
productive than it ever was before, while
the division iDto small ownerships in
creases every year the acreage under cul
tivation. All these advantages, however,
says Mr. McCulloch, would not have en
abled France to pay the Indemnity exacted
by Germany, and to recover, as she has
done, from the disastrous effects of the
war, had they not been supplemented by
the able management of finances and reve
eues, tke maintenance of the national faith be
ing the main element of her success.
On this point of national faith, Mr.
McCulloch says:
France, notwithstanding her gieat re
sources, was only saved by the confidence
which money-lenders at home and abroad
had in her integrity. Some there may have
been who doubted her ability to pay, but
nobody distiustod her fidelity. In her
darkest days there was no apprehension
that she would ever repudiate her debts.
If such an apprehension had existed; if
any member of her Assembly or any per
son of prominence had expressed a doubt
in regard to the maintenance of the na
tional faith, either by failure in the impo
sition of taxes or by an issue of paper
money, based, in the language of our infla
tionists, upou the “resources of the na-
I tion,” and this doubt had obtained any
' considerable currency the indemnity would
not have been paid to this day. Never be
fore did I understand and appreciate the
importance and value of high national
honor as I did in witnessing the success of
the French indemnity loan. No people un
derstand better than Frenchmen that
nothing is more important to a nation than
credit, nothing more dangerous than the
loss of it. The idea of repudiation has no
lodgment In the French mind, and this it
was which made the indemnity loans a
success when a failure would have been in
the last degree disastrous. I should be
happy if I could say that the same confi
dence exists in the obligations of the United
States. Why it does not I will explain
hereafter. The great mistake which France
makes is in not reducing her governmental
expenses in time? of peace. This will be
referred to in my next letter.
Hard and bitter things have been
launched at the people of France by
her critics, and Voltaire was not one
whit less severe in his day than Bis
marck is now. But the splendid man
ner in which they defend and maintain
the national faith is more than a retort
upon unjust aspersions; it is, in reality,
a practical and overwhelming proof
that the French assumption of being a
“grand nation” is founded upon un
shaken virtues. The United States
have much to learn from Europeans,
although the inhabitants of this coun
try, in one section especially, consider
themselves “the all-firedest cutest crit
ters in creation.” We shall look for
ward with eagerness to Mr. McCul
loch's letters, and especially to those
whioh treat of the relation of the South
to the Federal as a pro
ducer of wealth and the source of finan
cial credit.
When we take into consideration
that France has emerged from war
and spoliation with a paper money cir
culation of 2,500,000,000 francs (or
$500,000,000)) based upon a specie re
serve of 6,000,000,000 of francs ($1,200,-
000,000,) and that, with’two dollars In
specie for every paper dollar afloat, she
has contrived to preserve a healthy
trade and even prosper beyond any
other country in the world, it is a mat
ter of much concern for the United
States, which continue to go backward
financially instead of forward, to get at
the main-springs of this trouble and
ascertain the true methods of relief.
Either the French statesmen are more
gifted in the science of political econ
omy or else France is superior to this
country in the creation of wealth. We
believe that both propositions are rela
tively true; and while the United
States are naturally far superior to
France in all the crude elements of
production, the huckstering character
of the Governmental policy has crip
pled resources almost without limit. A
writer In the New York Hay Book
shows that the only secret of success
is larger exports than imports, and that
“solong as we continue as a nation
with a balance of trade against us it
will be madness, the sheerest folly, to
attempt to resume paper money re
demption. The secret of a permanent
specie basis for banking is a perma
nent balance of trade in our favor; our
relations with Europe must bring gold
to our coffers. No banking system, no
financial scheme that could be con
structed, would stand an hour under
the condition the United States is now
in, and has been for years, from its
trade relations with the people
the other side of the Atlantic.—
They are bleeding us at every
pore, and yet our Solans In Con
gress and our financial writers out ot
Congress do not seem to see that, as
our specie has for years been on the
flow out of the oountry, that flow must
be reversed ere we can talk about the
redemption of the eight hundred mil
lions of paper money we now have un
der the name of *a circulating medium.’
We must not overlook the fact that
France has what is equal to five hun
dred millions of dollars as a floating
currency, and within her borders
twelve hundred millions of coin to sup
port it, while we have eight hundred
millions of paper, with less than one
hundred and fifty millions of specie
within the borders of our country as a
basis for its future redemption.”
But the main cause of all the trouble,
financially and otherwise, in the United
States, is the Reconstruction legislation
of Congress. The legislative war, since
the war in the field, upon Southern
society and industry Is bearing Its ap
propriate fruit. The States of the
South have been and are the principal
sources of gold influx, and the preser
vation of the balance of trade. The
old and familiar, but strikingly vivaci
ous, comparison of “killing the goose
that laid the golden eggs” caunot too
often be repeated. Reconstruction and
its attendant horrors have returned to
plague the inventors, and the only hope
of this county in emulating France is a
thorough abandonment of the hideous
warfare on the South and a genuine
and thorough restoration of her politi
cal and agricultural forces. It is a
hard ordeal for the people of the
North to confess that the Wilson-
Greeley-Sumner-Trumbull scheme Isa
failure and a crime; but necessity may
compel them to do so. If a majority
of them elect to canonize these latter
day saints and consecrate their pro
gramme, aided by mistaken Southern
politicians and their followers, the les
son of France will have been taught in
vain and there will be many other
“dying cities” besides New Orleans.
The Cold April.—A correspondent
of the Providence Journal, commenting
upon the inclement weather of this
month, asks the publication of the sub
joined extract from the journal of the
Rev. John Comer, a Baptist minister of
Rehoboth, aB quoted by Buss in his
history of that town, which is as fol
lows:
April, Wednesday 8, 1732. This day a re
markable snow fell, between 2 and 3 feet
deep ; the deepest we had this year.
The correspondent observes that, in
compensation for wretched weather,
nature made amends by giving birth at
that season to George Washington.
Perhaps nature will make amends this
time by getting rid of Washington’s
successor.

The Challenge of Catholicus.
Mr. Editor : In your issue of the
27th inst. you reproduce from a con
temporary a letter over the signature
Catholicus, in whioh he charges not Dr.
Ford alone, but “any scientist,” to
name one truth of science that contra
dicts one single doctrine upheld and
taught by this (Romish) Church, from
the doctrine of the real and substantial
presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy
Eucharist to that of the infallibility of
the Pope.
I dislike religious controversy, es
pecially when it is carried into the
pages of our secular press; but as the
onus provocandi as well as the onus
probandi rests with the challenger and
his publishers, I feel absolved from, all
responsibility in the subject of this
controversy.
This champion, who, like the great
Goliath, says “Give me a man!” will be
expected to make good his position.
I would, therefore, respectfully re
quest (as I deny the doctrine of Tran
substantiation) that he will prove said
doctrine to be consistent with the
scientific axiom in physics—that a
“real and substantial” body can be
present in more than one place at the
same moment of time.
Every school-boy in the land knows
that a “real ” body can only occupy one
point in space at the same time.
The zealous correspondent, who
throws out his bold challenge to every
Protestant in the United States is
bound to prove that the “ whole soul,
body, blood and Divinity of Jesus
Christ” can be present in ten or ten
tho! sand or ten millions of places at
the same moment of time, and if ho
fails to prove this then he is deoursed
by Canon ii. chapter viii. session 13 of
the council of Trent, promulgated by
Pope Juluis 111., art. 11th, 1551.
When the challenger proves this
proposition, I shall in common with
millions in this Republic eagerly look
for a demonstration, in harmony with
scientific ti uth. Of his second propo
sition, Viz, the “ Indefallibility of the
Pope.” It will be an interesting dis
covery in pure science—in fact a dis
covery as great as any ever made by
Kepler, Copernicus, Galileo, Newton or
Franklin, when Catholicus affixes his
Q. E. D. to the infallibility of such im
maculate men as Pope Alexander VI.
I do not belong to the medical pro
fession, and Dr. Ford needs no de
fense, either from me or any else to
defend himself. I may say, however,
that his able prelection, which this
challenger makes a pretext for raising
a theological discussion, does great
credit to himself and to the learned
profession which ho represents.
Respectfully yours,
Catholioo.
P. S.—Catholicus will be expected to
hold simply and solely to the single
position he has laid down, without
raising any side issues. His proposition
is very plain. He in bound to piove or
withdraw his challenge: That Transub
stantiation is in full harmony with the
laws of scientific truth.
A Few Suggestions to * 'Catholicus.”
[Savannah Advertiser.)
I deem it unchristian to lay the
charge “bravado” at your door; but
think that you have very Indiscreetly,
and without proper advice, leaped into
•an arena for which you are neither
armed nor armored.
The language of Dr. Ford, which so
severely spurred your church jealousy,
had about as muoh to do with trans
substantiation and Papal infallibility
as Galileo’s demonstration of the irre
futable truth of the Copernican system
had with Joshua's figurative double
day, or the turning of the water into
wine.
Nevertheless, with an eagerness for
controversy wherein, as heretofore,
negatives must be disproved, and the
“axioms” must be those of your per
suasion, you forgot that even the “lit
tle children” in this age are armored
like Bunyan’s “Christian.”
You enunciate through a secular
press, most dogmatically, your theo
logical predilections, uncalled for, re
motely indeterminable as “substance,”
as indefinable as the basis of pure car
bon, resolved into the diamond, and in
a style excelling Cervantes’ hero’s
noblest windmill efforts, gauuletize
creation with your “verbatim” erudi
tion, or press cursory platitudes,
I therefore decline the tendered dis
cussion. I discuss no question with
any man, nor set of men, nor church
on scientific principles who requires me
to assume as axioms his, theirs or its
dogmas. Christ stood on miracles, and
his love, his mercy, his tenderness,
even to the woman at the well and to her
“taken in the act.”
Nevertheless, I cannot forego a “few
suggestions.”
You appeal to Liebnitz. By him you
shall be judged. He defines substance
to be that which contains in itself the
cause of all its changes.
I now turn to the Council of Trent,
session thirteen, where we find solemnly
enunciated, pronounced and declared:
“If any one denies that wonderful and
miraculous transformation of the whole
substance (the ‘‘totality,” scientific) of the
bread into the body, and the rohole sub
stance of the wine into the blood, etc.,
let him be accursed.”
Catholicus, my friend, who is right,
you or the Council and Julius 111 ? If
miraculous, I’ve not a word to say.
With God, all things are possible, but
not with Science. Again, if not miracu
lous, where is the sanctity, where the
divinity? when, where and how, and
from whom shall we know it ? Where
is poor Liebnitz ?
If science does not antagonize, where
is tho miracle, except in an incompre
hensible and illimitable faith? And if
no miracle, where the God, the body or
the blood, tho oblation or the sacrifice?
My dear sir, the “Papal Church,”
you to the contrary notwithstanding,
never has, with all its assumptions,
presumed to claim that “the transfor
mation” was in accordance with science.
If you wish the science, take it, but
then tear down the altar, disrobe the
priest, and, with a shudder of soul in
conceivable, imagine the glory of our
salvation a plaything in the hands of
spirits damned. Do not sir, in your
church eagerness, in your unbridled
faith, in your sacrificial spirit, in your
blooming, lental enthusiasm, overleap,
by any sort of cxy, “Thou shalt have
none other Gods but me.”
I admire your love for your church,
aud you quote Latin as readily as if
we had read it together.
But as I do not propose to continue
the discussion, in fact not to open it, I
must give my reasons for the fore
going, and will, so briefly and pointed
ly, that you cannot fail to see, if you
cannot be made to believe.
In the first place, science does not
discuss faith or probe into miracles,
nor seek to harmonize the resurrec
tion with any principle or law recog
nized by it. It therefore leaves faith
to be as wondrously miraculous as
brain and muscle can make it.
And, in the second place, you had
best refer to something else than infal
libility, in view of the history of Urban
VIII and the great philosopher Galileo.
You were unfortunate in your chal
lenge and cannot fail to do Christianity
injustice in your vain attempts to ex
plain by “true science,” that which the
Almighty alone knows.
That you may not fail to understand
me, I illustrate: Suppose Christ had
said to John’s messenger, “Go and tell
John that you have seen ‘true science’
harmonized with ‘true theology,’ that
substance, derived from substarc” is
infinitely devisible and incomprehensi
ble and therefore, ex eo, the dead are
raised, the blind see, etc.”
John would have been like poor
Strepsiades in the school of Socrates
and exclaimed;
“What sayest thou?
Drags thought the vaporous subtlety to
wards Alps?
Come down, come down, dear master, to
me—
And teach me what I came to know.”

SHADINESI
FIVE years since, after previous years
of experience, in the propagation and
preservation of SHADINES, or voung
Shad, we first introduced our fish to the
American people.
Shadines are put up in hermetically scal
ed tin boxes, perfectly boneless, in a mild,
pleasing, appetizing sauce, palatable to all,
free from oil—so objectionable in sardines—
retaining only tho natural richness of the
Shad, and ready for the tabloat all times,
for dinner, lunch or evening meal, by
merely opening the box. Many complaints
having been made that irresponsible par
ties are palming off American Club Fish
alias Ocean Trout, for Shadines, customers
will bear in mind we are the original and
only packers of Shadines, and every genu
ine box has the letters H. A C. pressed on
each side. HOOPE & CO.,
