THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
WEDNESDAY, May 12, 1875.
(JALA DAYS.
Visitors to Augusta, at this time, can
hardly complain of duluess. Our g in
comparable Fire Department has cer
tainly given them an entertainment
worth witnessing. Our admirable
Schuetzon Club will undertake to make
them happy after the unrivaled man
ner of the VaderlaDd. A strawberry
festival is in preparation, which means
that our beautiful ladies will appear
upon the scene and contribute their
unapproachable aid to the general
glorification. And then, from present
prospects, the Railroad Convention to
day will be exceedingly lively to some
folks, and perhaps not so lively to
others. From the apparition of cer
tain war-horses, who delight in conflict,
and who have no doubt come down here
charged to the muzzle with thunder
and lightning, we should say that the
spectators of the Convention will have
some rare treats of oratory, debate and
all the paraphernalia or intellectual
gladiatorship. Then last, but not least,
Augusta furnishes to her guests—price
five cents—two newspapers which are
worthy of their perusal at breakfast
time. We know that the morning meal
will be partaken with all the more zest
after a careful reading of the Chronicle
and Sentinel and the Constitutionalist.
Friends from town and country, we
welcome you here. We shall try to make
you contented while you stay and
sorry when you leave us. Enjoy your
selves while you can. You know not
when the next tornado may come
along your rural way. Meanwhile, be
happy, and if you cannot make the time
pass merrily, we trust it is your fault
and not ours.
THE SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN.
The journal whose name gives a
title to this article is one of the most re
markable In the country. It was one
of the very first, if not the first, to
break loose from the Republican party
when corruption ate like a canker into
that wonderful organization. While
we do not entirely agree with the editor,
Mr. Bowles, in all of his political ideas
and projects, we do bear willing testi
mony to his intellect, his independence
and his moral courage. Very recently,
this gentleman was prosecuted for
libel. It seems that, in pursuing pub
lic robbers to their lair, this honest and
undaunted journalist made enemies
of the local ring—a powerful faction—
certain members of which determined
to punish and, if possible, destroy him.
Technically, it is said, the Republican's
editor had been guilty of offense
and therefore violated a law ; this of
fense was the necessary consequence
of defending the people against rogues.
To keep within the statute, when the
end of the trial was reached, Mr, Bowles
was ordered to pay the minimum of
damages prescribed by authority. In
the eye of the people, however, as well
as of the Judge and jury, this valiant
editor was not crushed but exalted,
and the principle established once
more that, in the performance of a
pressing duty, a journalist may be
guilty of constructive libel, and yet be
a true and valiant sentinel on the
watch-tower for the preservation of
public virtue from the wolf of party
and the hyena of passionate prejudice.
THE LIBERAL REPUBLICANS.
We have shown in previous issues of
the Constitutionalist that the design
of the Liberal Republicans, led by Carl
Schurz and Murat Halstead, was to
get control of the Democratic party
and indoctrinate it with Radical prin
ciples, or, falling in this effort, to bar
the way for a triumph of Constitution
alism against Centralism. We have
further demonstrated, out of the mouth
of Halstead himself, that the Republi
can party would be whipped, horse
foot and dragoons, in case the Democ
racy made a straight-out fight with
that faction. Such a victory would be
gall and wormwood to Schurz and Hal
stead, and rather than witness it, they
will move heaven aud earth to corrupt
Southern Democrats or divide them,
as they managed to do in 1872. Now
the Democracy would boa precious
pack of fools to walk into that trap,
even at the bidding of the eloquent
Eujah Pogram or the Hon. Pumpkin
Squash, whose heads are turned by a
adroit flattery. The masses of
the people are wiser at last than many
of their so-called leaders, and, in case
the party machinery should get into
the hands of men who have driven the
Democracy to ruin year after year,
the honest people East, West and
South will not be made a trade of by
well-meaning perhaps but certainly
bat-like politicians. Before Mr. Blaine’s
atrocious speech in Connecticut, we
were coolly told by one of the ‘‘leaders”
that Blaine was possibly a good man
for the Democratic nomination. And
the suggestions made by another
celebrated “ leader” are pronounc
ed by Harper's Weekly —the vilest
and blackest Radical sheet in
the universe—“such as any Republican
in the country could stand upon.”
Luckily, the rapid concentration of
facts and the marvelous progress of
the people toward th 6 old doctrines
which erstwhile made them free, rich
and glorious, have struck these “ora
tors and statesmen” dumb, confound
ing their whole card-castle policy. The
very ground they would have us oc
cupy the enemy himself has aban
doned in consternation ; and the very
dogmas we have been asked to conse
crate are such as the better class of
Republicans are yielding in disgust
aud horror. The Democracy cannot
be led by the nose by the Liberal Re
publicans. The Liberal Republicans
swear they will either control the De
mocracy or else make a diversion on
their own hook. Our own opinion is
that the Democrats, with their own
leaders and true principles, can over
throw all opposition. But, in case
Gbant should, by any accident, reach
the Presidency for a third time, Cabi.
Schurz, Halstead & Cos., who affect to
prefer death to that, will be the very
marplots who contribute the most to
his success.
PUMPS.
If we are to credit the Physician and
Sui'geon, a scientific journal published
in Baltimore, one of the greatest
to a town is the system of water sup
ply by pumps. It is declared by this
journal that typhoitffever and kindred
diseases are generated from sink-wells.
Modern science seems to have explod
ed the idea that water percolating
through the earth, in large cities, and
drawn up for use by pumps, is healthy
or wholesome. It has been demon
strated that when these pumps are in
the vicinity of drains, the water is filled
with elementary substances fatal to
man. So firmly has this laid hold
of the public mind in some places
that pumps are banished as nuis
ances of the first order. The
Baltimore Sun, concurring fully with
this view, says: “Latterly in Balti
more there has been great complaint
of cyclops and other scallawags in the
hydrant water, but the rapidly flowing
streams from hydrants are not freight
ed with germs of disease to any such
extent as is the water from pumps and
wells, in which such germs appear to
be preserved for an indefinite length of
time. It is believed, too, that the hy
drant water is salutarily influenced by
the iron pipes with which it comes in
contact. The poetical “old oaken
bucket” may do wel} enough in rural
districts, but the unpoetic pump-handle
should be sold to Mrs. Toodles as a
good thing to have in the house, but
dangerous as a drawer of water, par
ticularly in Summer. The Baltimore
Board of Health would no doubt di
minish our mortuary statistics by mak
ing a vigorous raid on pumps, supple
mented by a Balaklava charge on ‘the
bucket and shovel brigade.’”
We would ask some of our city phy
sicians to pronounce an opinion upon
the water supply of Augusta and the
pump system. Is the objection raised
by the two journals of the Monumental
City a mere phantom, or is it only too
real aud solidly founded ? If a little
humor may be allowed on a sub
ject of so much gravity, we would say,
in case the Baltimore papers have
raised a genuine alarm, that our peo
ple, having lived through the Grand
Cyclops of the K, K. K. and fairly
driven the most gigantic scallawags to
the wall, have no fear of the small fry
of that character which wriggle in hy
drant water. But there may be
an enemy more potent than these
in pump water, and if so, let us
know it, this summer, and so
[ provide against the danger. It may
Ibe urged that people, of average
health, are living here who have used
pump water for years. Well, so did
Mithridates contrivo to live on poisons.
But, we venture to observe that when
you find one person with the stomach
and capacity of the Pontic King, thou
sands may be shown who strove to
imitate him and failed most egregiously.
We do not wish to excite any idle com
motion over this matter ; but as it is
causing inquiry abroad; and as it is
the duty of a faithful journalist to
keep the community abreast with the
progress of the outside world, we have
stated the case and its bearing, only
asking that the truth may be known
and peril to the public, if any, arrested.
Strong Drink. —The World presents
some appalling figures upon the subject
of dram-drinking. It states that in New
York “ for the year ending October,
1873, there were 40,777 arrests for be
ing drunk or drunk and disorderly.
Of those arrested 27,203 were men, and
13,574 women. Arising out of the ar
rests were 14,180 convictions of men,
and 8,927 of women. This drunken
ness among women is the most fright
ful feature in the return, because it
means so much—children going to per
dition, a ruined home ; everything, in
a word, which is most hateful and re
pugnant to the right-minded. . Accord
ing to a return of April, 1873, the num
ber of cases of drunkenness in New
York was 638 for every 10,000, and
there were 8,403 liquor saloons, being
just one to every 119 men, women and
children of all ages.” The same paper
adds that in a portion of the city of
London, selected for its specially bad
character, there were 264 convictions
for drunkenness in 10,000; in Liver
pool, 329 ; in Cork, 382 ; and in Dublin,
416.
The Augusta firemen had their day.
The procession has been equalled, but
the decorations of their engines and
reels, aud the trial made in the reel
contest, never! In our local columns
will be found a full roport of the inci
dents of the day, but we cannot help
complimenting the matchlessly beauti
ful fairy scene presented by the Blen
nerhassett reel, designed and made by
an Augusta lady. It would have been
brilliant In one of those gorgeous tri
umphal processions which character
ized Rome in the days of her C^sars.
Settling a Difficulty. A number of
relatives, of the male persuasion, re
cently met in Texas to settle a difficul
ty. The result ie stated in the Galves
ton papers thus: “Four dead men, four
widows and ten fatherless children.”
Bad passions, bad whiskey and pistols
iu the hip pocket.
Pratt. —The new Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, ex-Senator Pratt, is
said to be so conscientious that in the
days of the franking privilege he would
never frank his letters, either of a pub
llo or private nature.
Suicide.— The suicidal mania in New
Orleans has taken possession of the
United States soldiers. Phil Sheridan
left a little too soon.
Carl Schurz’s trip to Europe recalls a
good anecdote of the Emperor of Ger
many. His father, the king, was oblig
ed to give way before the insurrection
of 1848, and the present Emperor fled
from Berlin in disguise. Passing
through the fortress of Spandau he
stopped at the hotel of a man, after
wards implicated in the pursuit of the
deliverers of Prof. Kinkel, the chief of
whom was Gen. Schurz. When the
landlord was being tried, he was asked
if he had not been in the habit of har
boring political refugees. He replied:
“I recollect only two—Prof. Kinkel, and
another gentleman of high standing, in
civilian clothes, who calls himself a
major, and fled from Berlin in 1848.”
This other gentleman was the present
Emperor.
WHY GOLD 18 AGAIN BOLD.
After several months suspension of
gold sales by the Government, the old
habit has been renewed, with the fol
lowing consequences, as stated by the
Financial Chronicle : “ The balance of
currency had fallen so low that Mr.
Bristow had to do something for its
replenishment and the coin balance
was large ; and in conformity with the
Treasury usage, Mr. Bristow has de
termined to mobilize a part of his re
ceipts of gold to meet currency pay
ments. The coin balance in the Treas
ury May Ist is 94 millions, of which 22
belong to private depositors and 72 are
owned by the Treasury. Out of this
sum Mr. Bristow has to meet 35 mil
ions of interest, so that his net bal
ance of coin is 37 millions, against 31
millions April Ist, and 37 millions
March Ist.
“ Secondly, these statistics show that
during the last two months the Treas
ury has accumulated ten millions of
coin. At the same rate of accumula
tion for the next two mouths, Mr.
Bristow could continue his gold sales
to the end of the fiscal year at five
millions a month, without impairing
his net balance of gold or diminishing
the strength of the Treasury as to its
coin reserve.
“ Thirdly, we see indications of the
elasticity of the revenue which are very
gratifying. It is true that the curren
cy balance has fallen from $16,699,311
iu December last to $1,096,375 at pres
ent ; but during the same period iu
which the currency balance has sunk,
the coin balance has been strengthen
ing, and mounted from $26,747,251 in
December, to $366,990,465 at present.
It is contended that Mr. Bristow', by
resuming his gold sales, has changed
front. We do not see any solid basis
for this complaint. To effect the object
of strengthening the coin reserve of
the Treasury, Mr. Bristow stopped the
weekly sales of gold ; and now he re
sumes those sales at the earliest mo
mont after his purpose is accomplished.
“ Without discussing the matter fur
ther, we see how faulty were the argu
ments of those persons who supposed
that the Treasury sales of gold this
month would start a series of violent
movements up and down in the gold
premium.”

OF THE
LAGER BEER
FROM
E. ANHEUSER & CO.,
IN HT. LOUIS, MISSOURI >
U. S. NAVAL LABORATORY, 1
New Yoke, September-, 1871. (
The “ST. LOUIS LAGER BEER” of E.
Anheuser & Cos., at St. Louis, Mo., having
been analysed, gave the following results:
Specitie 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 manufactured in our market; its sub
stance of carbonic acid is superior even to
the Scotch Ale, Salvator Beer, Braun
sch weiger Mum mo and Munchcner Lager
Beer: its substance of alcohol comes near
the “Munchcner Hofbrau," and its extract
substance proves to be between the “Zacherl
Doppelbier” and the “Salvator Beer.”
CONCLUSIONS FKOAI THE 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. 0. CONRaD,

SH A DINES !
IjHVE years since, after previous vears
<f experience, in the propagation and
greservation of HHADINES, or young
had, we first introduced our fish to the
American people.
Hhadines 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 Hhadines, customers
will bear In mind we are the original and
only packers qt Shadines, and every genu
ine box has the letters H. & C. pressed on
each side. HOOPE & CO.,
