THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
TUESDAY, May 11, 1875.
JUDGE KELLEY AND THE SOUTH.
To quiet all misgivings on the sub
ject of his recent confession, Judge
Kelley once more appears in print. He
admits that personal contact with the
people of the South had completely
modified his views, and virtually de
clares that the laws of Congress, since
1865, which he had helped to frame,
compelled a condition of affairs here
which would have caused trouble and
outbreaks anywhere The Judge says :
If it be true that “an idle man’s brain is
the devil’s workshop,’’ we must expect
turbulence among millions of men who
live in constrained idleness, because theie
is no market for their labor. No measure
of force will reduce such a community to
order. It will always be liable to have its
passions inllamed by trivial causes, and
should not, on such occasions, be harshly
dealt with. Hence my regret at having
voted for the force bill.
What is required to regenerate the South
is subsoil ploughs, phosphates, agricultu
ral implements generally, a large increase
of horses, mules and horned cattle, a
steadily increasing supply ot steam en
gines and machinery, and such manufac
turing machinery as can be moved by wa
ter power. These, with a comparatively
small amount of cash capital and a few
earnest men to teach their use and value,
would in a few years make the South
bloom like a garden, and develop a popula
tion as loyal as that of any Northern State
during the war. The interests of Northern
capitalists require them to supply these
potent agents at the earliest practicable
day.
Are not these views consistent with the
reports you have seen of my lecent ex
pressions ? But these agents have not
been supplied. On the contrary, the finan
cial policy of the government, in the hands
of either party, has rendered their acquisi
tion impossible. It was about the date
above referred to that Mr. McCulloch an
nounced the resolution of Andrew Joen
son’s administration to contract the cur
rency sufficiently to enable us to resume
specie payments. This policy received the
approbation of his Democratic followers,
together with that of the Republican pa
pers of New York, New England and other
money centres. In brief, it became the
policy of the country, and has been per
sisted in by Congress till the Treasury is
thieatened with bankruptcy, and the mi
litia of Philadelphia is encamped in our coal
regions to enforce order at the point of the
bayonet. If this policy is still persisted in
we shall go from bad to worse, as England
did when, by the act of 1819. Parliament
fixed the day four years in advance when
specie payments should be resumed, until
we too shall have our Peterboro and Bris
tol riots, to suppress which troops will
be required to fire upon the suffering peo
ple. This unwise legislation has pressed
with peculiar severity upon the poverty
stricken. desolated South, and has begot
ten widespread discontent, as it is now do
ing throughout the North; and this has
been the refrain of all my recent conversa
tions.
Ten years ago, there would have
been the beginning of an era of peace
and prosperity, had not the Johnsons,
the Stevenses, the Wilsons, the Sum
ners, the Greeleys, the and
men of their black Republican stamp
refused to restore the Union without
the accursed experiment of Recon
struction. They, preferred, however,
contrary to the report and wishes ot
Gen. Grant, as well as the warning of
true patriots, North and South, to force
their despotic and Robespierrean theo
ries, at the point of the bayonet, and lo !
the result is before the world !
Had Judge Kelley and his friends
in Congress been wise in their genera
tion, just after the war, the South
would have rapidly recovered from her
material losses. It is nonsense, though,
for Judge Kelley to state that our
principal wants are subsoil ploughs,
phosphates, agricultural implements
etc., etc. We have had and still have
plenty of all such, and it may be more
than is good for us. The Judge cannot
teach the South to make cotton, rice
and other great staples. That experi
ment was tried by the Northern people,
immediately at the close of hostilities,
and with disastrous experience. All
the subsoil ploughs, buggy-harrows
and phosphates ever invented were
powerless against the Reconstruction
laws and their deadly and demoralizing
agencies. The Judge need not try
to evade the true issue. The South
has suffered moral torture and the
pangs of poverty because Judga Kel
ley and Radical Congresses passed bad
laws, and for no other reason. Had
there been no such laws there Would
have been no utterly impoverished
South, and no Federal Treasury threat
ened with bankruptcy, aud no Penn
sylvania militia encamped about the
coal - mines to keep the whites slaves of
the North iu order. Nearly overy evil
that the unhappy South has endured
proceeded from Congress and Recon
struction laws, since 1865; and the
dark cloud that hangs over Washing
ton and New England was called into
terrible being by Abolition and
Its serpent seed. Knowing the
cause of wretchedness and decay,
the remedy is near at hand. It is the
repeal of the infamous enactments which
have poisoned society, crushed labor
and sapped the sources of wealth.
Every other procedure will be mere
quackery and all who propose healing
the patient, by prescribing the medi
cine which has brought him low, are
charlatans of the first degree.
Judge Kelley may appeal to North
ern and European capital to come
Southward, in any considerable quan
tity, till he is black in the face. But it
will not come because he calls it, any
more than spirits rose “from the vasty
deep” at the incantation of Owen Glen
dower. It is true that the taint of re
pudiation in the Southern States has
made the re-introduction of foreign
capital among them almost an
impossibility ; and it is equally
true that this bad character has
been, In part, the work of some
Southern men. But what was the po
tent spell which not only desolated this
section—once so high-toned, so honor
able, so patriotic, so wealth-producing
—but absolutely forced men, as it were,
to become constructive violators of
good faith? It was the infernal system
of Reconstruction; only that and noth
ing more. It is true that men should
not yield to any pressure brought upon
their moral natures; but they unfortu
nately do so, and there are some de
vices, such as Kelley & Cos., hatched
up, which would have shaken 3t. Antho
ny in his cell and almost made cravens
of the Christians who quailed not be
fore the lions and leopards of the Roman
ampitheatre. By a supreme effort, por
tions of the South have cut loose, to a
certain degree, from the body of death
imposed by Congress ; but the scars
remain of our dreadful trial and despe
rate agouy ; aud so long as tho statute
book of the country is polluted by a
single law which imperils aud debases
it, so long will there be a menace to its
liberty and a drainer of its wealth.
There is no escape from that iron
logic ; and many Republicans beside
Judge Kelley, as well as many Demo
crats who slide off on every new de
parture which carries them into the
enemy’s camp, will discover the tre
mendous import of the fact—possibly
when it shall be too late to save them
selves and their country.
THE GEORGIA RAILROAD.
We publish in full, this morning, the
reports of President John P. Kino and
Superintendent E. W. Cole to the Stock
holders of the Georgia Railroad and
Banking Company. Both documents
are able and comprehensive. As the
Stockholders’ meeting, this year, pro
mises to be one of unusual interest, we
venture to say that these presentations
of the condition of the Company will
attract more than ordinary attention.
Biting Back.—A dispatch from Wash
ington to the Baltimore Sun states that
J. G. Hester, who for some time has
held the positions of special agent of
the Department of Justice, “head
kuklux-hunter,” and great American
White League finder, and who was dis
missed from those positions recently,
says he was dismissed not because he
did anything wrong, but that he in
formed the Attorney General that he
intended to publish a book entitled
“The Wandering Jew in America,”
which is an inside history of the Credit
Mobilier frauds and other celebrated
national fraudulent and corrupt cases.
He also intends to show up the whole
system of manufacturing kuklux out
rages, white League murders, &c.;
aud, in fact, let daylight into the whole
southern-outrage factory, the head
quarters of which is under, if not in
the Department of Justice. He fan
cies that his book will create a stir,
and if he publishes all he knows in re
gard to these cases it will beyond the
probability of a doubt. He says that
after he gets his book out he will re
main in Washington and practice law.
He don’t like the idea of returning to
the South, as the force bill did not
pass.
Taking It Easy.— A correspondent of
the Courier-Journal, writing from Char
leston, pokes his fun at transportation
thus :
I leave this place for Columbia. It is a
great delight to travel on a railroad in
these old Southern States. It is so pleasant
alter being cramped up in a car for hours
to get out and walk a few miles, and then,
seated under a huge oak, and waiting for
the cars to come up, a man can write a ser
mon or an epic poem, or read the testimony
in the Beecher case, or count a million, or
something that makes the moments fly
like summer birds. lam en route for New
York, and am in hopes, if I don’t miss a
single connection, to get there in from
three to nine months. I got a photograph
taken in each town to mark the progress
of age, and, by means of the whole series,
hope to be able to prove my Identity at the
end of my journey.
So funny and so false! Perhaps
“Mahlstick” would like to go faster and
get his head broken by a collision.
Centennial. —The Nashville Union
and American declares that the Rev.
Dr. Augustine T. Smythe, a distin
guished Presbyterian divine of Charles
ton, S. C., in a pamphlet issued in 1847,
gave an interesting dissertation to
prove that both the Mecklenburg Dec
laration of Independence and Jeffer
son’s were suggested by or taken from
“A General Confession or General
Bond, for the maintenance of True Re
ligion and the King’s Person and
Estate,” put forth to be signed by the
members of the Presbyterian Church
of Scotland, more than a century before
American independence was resolved
upon.
The Rich. —The Richmond Dispatch
says:
Grant likes the rich. He gets under
their roofs when he goes North. In Pierbe
pont he gets a son-in-law of the millionaire
Stewart, whom he tried to crowd Into his
Cabinet. Defeated in that, he comes pretty
near in getting the son-in-law. We rather
like the incliuation of General Grant in
this matter. Rich ministers will hardly
trouble themselves with scurvy schemes
of self-appropriation.
Grant is not the only man in Amer
ica who likes the rich. It is a common
failing in all the world, and especially
in the United States. The number of
persons who prefer the poor may be
put down as a hopeless minority.
Sometimes a candidate for office pro
claims himself the friend of the poor—
but we know what sort of poppy-cock
that is.
“Banditti.” —A special to the Chicago
Times from Washington, dated Wed
nesday last, says:
The strike of the street laborers still
continues. To-day some 300 men, worked
up by leaders who never did a stroke of
manual labor in their lives, marched into
the streets with clubs, and endeavored to
drive out of the street men who preferred
working at a dollar a day to starving. This
mob was charged by the mounted police
and dispersed after a good many arrests.
Where is Sheridan? The Nashville
Union and American, having to get this
information at second hand, wants to
know what has become of the Press
Agent.
B. H. Hill.— The editor of the
Greenville (S. C.) News, who is a Geor
gian, we believe, says of the Ninth Dis
trict campaign: “Col. Estes
the Reconstruction acts, and the amend
ments made to the Constitution in 1868,
in his first speech in the campaign, and
of course he had no chance in the race
in a Democratic District. Nothing
short of the straight Democratic plat
form of 1870, will trot a candidate
through in Georgia, and for once Ben
Hill got on that platform in the right
time.”
FACT AND FICTION.
When tho Democrats in the Senate at
tacked tho military interference with the
Legislature of Louisiana, the most promi
nent point of the reply of tho Republicans
was that such an attack came with ill
grace from the Democrats; that a Demo
cratic Administration had, years ago, dis
persed by force of arms a Constitutional
Convention of Kansas, and that, therefore,
the Democrats were estopped from finding
fault with a Republican Administration for
military interference with the Legislature
of Louisiana. The countercharge was
based on fact.— Carl Schurz's Speech.
Mr. 3churz is badly informed of re
cent American history, however well
skilled in dialectics. He lias confound
ed the law governing a Territory and
that governing a State. Territories be
long to the States, and so, the parallel
between Kansas and Louisiana is a
forced and foolish one. But why blame
Carl Schurz for this misconception of
the true theory of the Federal Union,
when he simply follows in the wake of
Garrison, Phillips and Sumner, in
whose school he was, of late years,
brought up ?
A Challenge. —The Washington
Chronicle says: “Before the spelling
mania dies out, why not settle all out
standing difficulties existing between
the North and the South by a grand
sectional spelling match. If the South
spells us down, let John Young Brown
plant the Confederate flag on Bunker
Hill. If the North proves the victor,
let Southern Democracj' agree not to
object if we fire a few guns in honor of
Antietam or Gettysburg.”
The European Plan. —A gentleman
in Europe writes: “I see in the Amer
ican papers notices of bank bills alter
ed from 6 lie denomination to another.
This is impossible in this part of the
world, through the very simpie device
of having bills of different values made
of different sizes.” Now that is some
thing for the new Treasurer to put into
his pipe and smoke.

ANALYSIS
OP THE
LAGER BEER
FBOU
E. ANHEUSER CO.,
ID ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI
U. S. NAVAL LABORATORY, I
New York, September, 1874. (
The “ST. LOUIS LAGER BEER” of E.
Anheuser & Cos.; at St. Louis, Mo., having
been analysed, gave the following results:
Specifie 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 all other beer
now manulactured in our market; its sub
stance of carbonic acid is superior even to
the Scotch Ale, Salvator Beer, Braun
schweiger Mumme and Munehener Lager
Beer; its substance of alcohol comes near
the “Munehener Hofbrau,” and its extract
substance proves to be between the “Zacherl
Doppelbior” 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
commendablo drink for medicinal purposes.
Another good quality of this beer is that it
keeps in good condition under all circum
stances. W. C. CONRAD,
(Jhemist of U. S. Naval Laboratory.

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, and 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
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 11. A C. pressed on
eaoh side. HOOPE 4 CO.,
