THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
TUESDAY, MAY 4, 1875.
GOING TO AN EXTREME.
In. praising the Republican officials,
who have so recently with the thunder
of Democratic victories in their ears
and the premonition of Radical defeat
In their minds, evinced an extraordi
nary amount of love and admiration
for free government and State Rights,
we need not overdo the thing. The
speech of Gov. Chamberlain, of South
Carolina, at the Lexington Centennial,
was very effective, in the main; but
does anybody believe he would have
made such a speech a few years ago?
The fame of that oration has, after the
first impulse of surprise, caused some
people to make inquiry. The New
York Sun, for example, asks who is he?
and is thus answered :
He served as Attorney-General when
Scott was Governor, and when the great
est robberies were perpetrated. It was his
legal skill that enabled the rascals who
were robbing right and left to so devise
their plans as to escape the penitentiary.
It was Chamberlain, with Moses, Nagle
and Parker, who constituted the Finan
cial Board of South Carolina which became
so notorious for its issues of fraudulent
bonds, and it was through the recommen
dation of Chamberlain that his former
classmate, 11. H. Kimpton, was appointed
financial agent of the State in this city
without his being required to give security
for the millions of bonds which passed
through his hands. For this remarkable
exerciso of confidence the tax-payors of
South Carolina must pay dearly for years
to come. In faet, it was Chamberlain
who, from his superior ability, proved the
most dangerous enemy of the State of all
the men who for the last few years have
fattenod on her spoliation.
This man has had the wit to change
his front when the people were revolt
ed at his former policy ; but, the con
version was a sudden one and very
neatly adapted to circumstances. We
think he should be praised to the full
extent of his deserts, but the matter
may be carried to an extreme. If he
should succeed in helping South Caro
lina to her feet, he will no doubt be re
warded according to his works. Still,
it must be remembered that, but for
him and his party, South Carolina
never would have been cloven down
and impoverished, not to say demoral
ized and disgraced. Many Republi
can leaders are engaged in anew de
parture all over the country, in hopes of
taking the wind out of the Democratic
sails. They are very smart men, and
have already deceived some of the
elect. They have been compelled by
the growl of the yeomanry of the
whole land, whom they have de
ceived and embarrassed, to come down
from their high horse, and, with the
craft of Richelieu, they seek to turn
this revolution in public sentiment to
their own advantage. Think you that
J udge Kelley did not know that a ne
gro was a negro, long before last week ?
Bah ! the old fox has heard the news
from the mining districts of Pennsyl
vania, and it makes him tremble. He
has probably read the New York Bul
letin, of April 19th, which contains
these significant words;
The country went through a four years’
war, and spent a good many hundred mil
lions of dollars in effect, if not expressly,
to emancipate the black man from slavery.
Is it not about time to see if something
cannot be done now to emancipate the
white laboring man from his slavery ?
Please sir, give me enough to buy a
mouthful to eat,” said a strong, able
bodied person, in Broad street, a day or two
ago, to the writer ; the hesitating accents
of the poor fellow amply testifying to the
reality of his suffering.
‘ Why don’t you goto work, my good
man, and earn a dinner for yourself?
Would not that be better than going about
the streets begging ? Right down on the
docks there, the merchants and ship
owners aro employing all the hands they
can get at thirty cents an hour, and they
are ready to employ you on the same
terms.”
The man intimated that, as the long
shoremen’s strike was “on," it would be as
much as his life was worth to do that, and
so he had to be a beggar, or starve.
Now there never was a more abject slave
on any South Carolina or Georgia planta
tion when black men were held in bondage
there, than this white workingman in
Broad street, and all such ‘workingmen
who are debarred by terror from laboring
to maintain themselves and families. The
question recurs, therefore, is it not about
time that something was done to restore to
this unhappy class of our population that
“liberty and the pursuit of happiness”
which is their indefeasible, constitutional
right, under our free form of government ?
Men like Sohurz and Kelley and
Chamberlain know full well that their
days as partisans of the Republican
faction are numbered. So they move
heaven and earth, and even admit
their own blundering, only asking tlfat
Democracy may not triumph and that
they may not be put in the pillory as
men whose acts and laws, since 1865,
have throttled liberty, enslaved labor
at the North, made barbarism trium
phant at the South, almost bankrupted
the whole country, and certainly driven
it morally to the very verge of perdi
tion. These men will bear watching.
We cannot endorse or sanctify their
principles merely to get their votes.
We can forgive them for their errors,
when repentant; but how shall we ever
be forgiven if we help canonize them
as saints and embalm their odious
principles as something never to be
questioned or repealed ?
A NOTABLE SPEECH.
At the Carl Sohurz banquet, in New
York, the other day, the most notable
speech of the occasion was made by
Murat Halstead, editor of the Cin
cinnati Commercial He said:
We have all preached reform, and the Je
suit has been that in the election held a few
weeks ago every town in the State of over
2,600 inhabitants, with a single exception,
was largely carried by the Democratic
party. [Laughter]. And if I may be allow
ed, I will say that I am afraid we have gone
about as far in putting the Democratic
party into power in the State of Ohio as is
strictly necessary as a reformatory
measure. [Laughter.] I don’t see how we
can do anything more in that way, and
great as the reformation has been, some of
us still are dissatisfied. [Applause.] This
happens to be of perhaps the greater con
sequence, because the only very important
State election that will take place in this
country before the meeting of the National
Conventions of 1876 is the election in Ohio
next Fall—the election of Governor— and
we have been casting about between the
two parties In Ohio, for the third party is
all gone in Ohio. [Laughter.] There is only
one man left in Cincinnati that belongs to
It. [Great laughter.]
What renders this harangue the more
remarkable is that it followed In the
wake of Mr. Schurz’s elaborate and t
metaphysical address to prove that
neither the Democratic nor the Repub
lican party was to be trusted, but the
country must look for salvation from
the Liberal Republicans, whose num
bers, judging from the proportion cited
by Halstead in Ohio, must *be a mere
corporal’s guard, unworthy of any
body’s anxiety to cultivate, especially
any Denjpcrat, who is expected to
abandon his principles in order to make
Carl Schurz and his small detach
ment leaders and campaign-shapers.
The Philadelphia Commonwealth boils
down Mr. Schurz’s philosophy into this
short paragraph: •* The orator told the
eaters of the dinner that if they could
not get a meal at the Radical 1 first
table,’ not to eat with the negro at the
side table, and if they were not per
mitted to sit down with the Democrats
at their repast, to be patient, and get
something to eat, standing up, from
both tables. He said thusly they Would
find out which was best, and then
they could devour all the food on the
table they selected as offering the
choicest viands. Delmonico and Augus
tine were appointed a committee to
carry out this gastronomic feature in
the party of Liberal eaters. ‘ Hog and
hominy,’ and ‘whiskey and potatoes’
are not the diet of the association of
select gourmands, led by Schurz & Cos.”
When the Liberal Republicans, led
by ex-Senator Schurz, attempt to divide
and destroy the Democratic party, iu
the very hour of its victory, we do not
understand why men and papers call
ing themselves Democratic regret the
defeat of such a person to the United
States Senate, and even go so far as to
rest their hopes upon this class of poli
ticians, who are mere doctrinaires, and
whose supreme effort is the overthrow
of Republican officials but a conse
cration of their principles. These men
may come over to the Democracy, if
they so please; but the Democracy will
not, in spite of the effort made, North
and South, go over again, as in 1872,
bag and baggage, to them and their
Dolly Yarden platform. The speech
of Halstead, as a bladder-pricker, re
minds us of similar performances by
Gen. Wigfall in the Confederate Con
gress. He would betimes utterly ex
tinguish some aspiring and top-loftical
orator by a single hard fact or a soli
tary chunk of wisdom. When Hal
stead declared that one man only in
Cincinnati belonged to the advocates of
a third party, he pat a spider into Mr.
Schurz’s theories that spoiled the whole
pudding.
Ah ! —lt is reported that John Hay’s
father-in-law, Amasa Stone, is going to
build him a house and buy him a news
paper.
“ ’Tls a very fine thing to be son-in-law
To a very magnificent three-tailed bashaw 1”
Beer. —The manufacture and use of
lager beer are said to be on the decline
in the United States. Men do not have
so much drinking money now, that’s
the reason.
Touching.—A Frenchman intending to
compliment a young lady by calling her a
gentle lamb, said “She is one mutton as is
small!”
The lady must have felt extremely
sheepish.
The Atlanta News.— According to
promise, the Atlanta News re-appeared
on Sunday morning. Mr. Abrams has
become the publisher as well as the
editor. Long life to him and his paper!
Toombs. —The editor of Harper's
Weekly revives the old story that Gen.
Toombs swore he could call the roll of
his slaves on Bunker Hill. Of course,
Gen. Toombs did nothing of the sort;
but there is nothing to prevent him
from doing it, if so inclined.
—i B il
Oregon. —The Grangers have com
plete possession of Oregon. And yet
“Laundalet” Williams has the effron
tery to expect the Senatorship of that
State.
Gone Glimmering. —Among the “trea
sures” destroyed by fire at the Union
League Club House, in New York, were
Nast’s picture of “Abraham Lincoln
Entering Richmond,” Cropsey’s “Battle
of Gettysburg,” and a trophy from
Fort Sumter. This is a bad year for
the truly loyal.
Cotton Estimates.—The cotton editor
of the Constitutionalist admitted that in
August he anticipated a crop of 5,000,000
bales.— Chronicle and Sentinel, Sunday.
Will our contemporary inform us as
to the exact date of such an admission ?
We think he has made an inaccurate
statement, and therefore claim the
presentation of the proof.
Mi 9 i
Funny. —A Republican paper certifies
that Grant never voted a Republican
ticket in his life. He has carried out a
good many Republican laws, however,
and even Judge Kelley thinks the
thing has gone far enough, since the
Republican party is being slaughtered
by its own weapon and at the hands of
its own President.
The Buffalo Gnat.— This insect,
which is playing havoc with live stock
in the Mississippi valley, seems to cor
respond with the African tsetse, which
is deadly to all domesticated animals,
but does no injury to wild beasts.—
The Cincinnati Gazette calls for inquiry
on this subject, and it would be a great
thing if science could settle the moot
point as well as the buffalo gnat.
—' • '
Results of the War.— The New York
Tribune shows that the Importations
of iron, steel, wool, cotton, silk and
linen goods has fallen off 40 per cent,
in the last two years. The income of
New York capitalists has fallen off 20
per cent since 1872.. We are coming
down to hard-pan. The Richmond
Dispatch, commenting upon the gene
ral shrinkage, says : “ Rents, indeed,
have gone down, and so must the cost
of living go down ; and so must labor
be brought, either by elevation or re
duction of its cost, as the case may be,
to its harmonious level with the gene
ral standard registered by want and
supply.”
Lee.— Gen. Fitzhugh Lee’s letter to
Gen. Bartlett is a clever production
He fastens the ruin of the country
where it properly belongs, upon Con
gressional action since 1865. The sol
diers of the North have not been the
architects of destruction. It was the
policy of Sumner, Wilson, Thad Ste
vens, Greeley and Trumbull that
“made a solitudo and called it peace.”
Pierrepont. —The new Attorney Gen
eral was an enemy to the Force bill,*
and all the Congressional legislation.
He opposed the Sheridan-Williams
policy with regard to Louisiana, and is
credited with declaring that the Recon
struction laws were crimes and blun
ders, the greatest of the century. The
appointment of such a man to be the
law officer of the Government has made
the President’s personal enemies, for
the moment, either dumb or con
founded.
Wanted. —One of the delights of
editorial life may b° imagined by the
following paragraph, published in the
Washington Republican:
If a certain Charles A. Dana comes to
Washington I would like to know it, pro.
vided he is not under duress. I have sought
an interview w'th him my re
turn from South America—once at his office
for four hours. He did me great injustice
and I must have satisfaction, or my God
Will not know me when I die.
Mr. Dana is the editor of the New
York Sun, which shines for all, price
one cent. The author of the above
notice evidently means to make the
sun shine through Dana’s cold corpus.
His desire to be recognized by a for
eign power is heart-rending in the ex
treme.
Lost His Bet.— The Boston Globe,
with a pair of yellow spectacles upon
the editorial nose, said:
We would risk a small amount on the bo
lief that Mr. Edwards Pierrefont, of
New York, will not be appointed Attorney
General. Mr. Pierrefont has denounced
the third term idoa as chimerical, and was
one of the speakers at the New York meet
ing at which the President’s policy in
Louisiana was the subject of severe criti
cism, and if Gen. Grant selects him for
the Cabinet it will be against all the prece
dents established by himself.
Grant Is a man without established
precedent. He is a Sphinx. It is never
safe to bet on his future course. Pierre
pont was appointed and the Boston
Globe lost that “small amount.”
John Harper.—Alluding to the death
of John Harper, the New York Express
says;
A loving mother or strong Christian
principles, and a father in easy circum
stances helping at the start, explains the
secret. Seneca’s Morals was the first book
printed in an edition of 2,000 copies, and
thus began the largest publishing house in
America and a prosperous career, which
has been increasing for the last fifty-eight
years.
If the precepts of a Christian mother
and Seneca’s Morals drove John Har
per, in his old age, to propagate relig
ious hatreds and race-broils, through
the Weekly, we think there must have
been a mistake somewhere. The in
fluence of Harper's Weekly is poison
ous and revolting—and John Harper,
in abetting it, was creditable neither
to his good mother nor the Roman
philosopher.
THE NINTH DISTRICT.
Trouble in the Radical Camp—The
Radical Vote Sold for a Price.
[Atlanta News.]
The following circular ha? been ad
dressed to the voters of the Ninth Dis
tiict. It shows about as much dissen
sion in the Radical ranks as exists in
t\'o3e of the Democracy. In both cases
the politicians have forfeited the con
fidence of the people :
Gainesville, Ga., April 30, 1875.
To the Voters of the Ninth Congres
sional District:
A few days ago I announced myself
an independent candidate for Congress,
aud had high hopes and assurances of
success, both from Conservative Dem
ocrats and Republic .ns ; but I have
to-day P irned of a regular league be
w m Henry P. Farrow and \Vm. P.
Pric 3, to defeat me and elect Price, by
giving him the Republican vote; and
the election is now so close at hand
that it will be impossible for me to
counteract a 1 thwart the insidious
movement. I am satisfied that this
league has existed for over two years,
and I have made various effort? to
draw it out, but without succr -s, until
now. They have delayed the blow
until the last hour, a id'stabbed me in
the back at last, as cowards always do.
The Republican vote has been prom
ised to Price, and the letters are now
going all over the District to induce
the Republicans to vote for him.
Under these circumstances I now
withdraw from the canvass, and am no
longer a candidate. But I implore the
Republicans of this district, and my
Democratic friends, not to become par
ties to this league by voting for Price.
He runs as an independent Democrat,
while Farrow comes in at the last hour
and attempts ' > foist him upon the Re
publicans. The trick is now exposed,
and Farrow and Price are uncovered at
last. Behold the sweet Couple !
They contemplated the same game
upon Judge O’Neal, and did give him
the cold shoulder; but Farrow took a
fright for fear of his own removal from
office. Is this coalition between Far
row and Price the result of the Civil
Rights bill, or is it merely social equal
ity? Don’t all speak at once!
I deeply regret that leading Repub
licans in Savannah, for whom I have
the highest regard, have been duped
into this snare by Farrow. These gen
tlemen will see, when the vote Is count
ed next week, that Price is a defunct
Democrat even in his own county, and
therefore of no more use to the Repub
lican party than Greeley was to the
Democracy. Price may slide through
the District as a Democrat, and Far
row may write letters to all the leading
Radicals in this District, and the gen
tlemen in the Custom. House and Post
Office at Savannah may suffer them
selves used as a catspaw, but “mur
der will out,” and the elephant Price
will be left a dead carcass on the hands
of the United States District Attorney,
and the stench of the carcass will as
cend up to Washington city.
And now, in conclusion, I tender my
thanks to jny friends who have been
at work for me, and earnestly beg that
no Republican in the district will suf
fer himself sold out to Price in such a
contemptible manner, and with no
prospect of present or future good.
With high regards, I am your obedl
ennt, J. J. Findley.
Gainesville, Ga., April 30th, 1785.
To the Republicans of the Ninth Con
gressional District:
The split in the Democratic Conven
tion occurred so near the election that
no time was left for us to organize and
nominate a candidate, but Col. J. J.
Findley consented to run, and with
three Democrats in the field his elec
tion was almost certain. We had gone
to work in earnest, but to-day’s mail
revealed the fact that Col H. P. Far
row, of Atlanta, had determined to
work in the interest of Col.*Price, aDd
had induced other leading Republicans
to issueand circulate a long circular let
ter In favor of Price. The circular letter
discloses the fact that “Price had been
led to believe we would support him.”
lam unable to state who could have
led Col. Price to believe so, unless Col.
Farrow did, and opinion prevails here
that he did do it We have suspected
for two years that Col. Farrow was
very intimate with Price, and now the
polt to bargain and sell us out to Price
is laid bare, and the plotters uncovered.
It seems that Atlanta men, of both
parties, have determined to rule this
district; and the Democrats may sub
mit to the Hillites if they choose, but
I trust that the Republicans of this
district are not so far from sellVrespect
and manhood as to submit to the Far
row-Price league. If Col. Price is to
go to Congress, let him be sent by his
Democratic friends ; but I trust that
Republicans will not attempt to make
a second Greeley of him. Let us vote
for no man who has bargained for us
in secret. If Col. Price is less bitter
towards us than Ben Hill it is simply
because he is less able to be so.
As Col. Findley has been forced down
by a Brutus stab, we will have no can
didate, and I earnestly beg Republi
cans to scorn the idea of voting for
Price, even to defeat the eminent or
ganizer of persecution and assassina
tion of Atlanta and Athens. Let us
we cannot be bought
and sold.
Very respectfully,
John W. O’Neal.

The “ST. LOUIS LAGER BEER” of E.
Anheuser A Cos., at St. Louis, Mo., having
been analysed, gave the following results:
Specific Gravity 1.02 per cent.
Extracted Matter 7.32 “
Carbonic Acid 0.16 “
Alcohol .4.89 “
Ashes 0.24 “
From these figures it will be readily seen
that the “St. Louis Lager Beer” proves a
heavier specific weight than ail other beer
now manufactured in our market; its sub
stance of carbonic acid is superior oven to
the Scotch Ale, Salvator Beer, Braun
schweiger Mumine and Munchener Lager
Beer; its substance of alcohol comes near
the “Munchener Hofbrau,” and its extract
substance proves to be between the “Zaeherl
Doppelbier” and the “Salvator Beer.”
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 beer is that it
keeps in good condition under all circum
stances. W. C. CONRAD,
Chemist of U. S. Naval Laboratory.

SHAD INKS !
FIVE years since, after previous years
of experience, in the propagation and
preservation of SHADINES, or young
Shad, we first introduced our fish to the
American people.
Shadines are put up in hermetically seal
ed tin boxes, perfectly boneless, in a mild,
pleasing, appetizing sauce, palatable to all,
free from oil—so objectionable In sardines—
retaining only the natural richness of the
Shad, anu ready for the table at 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
alms Ocean Trout, for Shadines, customers
will bear In mind we are the original and
only packers of Shadines, and every genu
ine Dox has the letters H. A C. pressed on
each side. HOOPE A CO.,
