THE CON STITUTIONALIST
THURSDAY, May 13,
THE GERMANS.
While wo do not and cannot approve
of all the acts of tho new German Gov
ernment, we have the heartiest admi
ration for the Teuton race. The pro
gress of Germany in arts, arms, com
merce, manufactures, science and lit
erature is one of the world’s greatest
miracles. It would be a laborious task
to enumerate her warriors, her poets,
hei artists, her scholars, her musicians,
her merchant princes and her saints.
In all the walks of learning, the Ger
man has inscribed his name on the
highest scroll, and in the field of Mars
her modern champions have fairly
startled the universe by deeds which
are only matched by those of the great
Corsican whose thunderbolts of war
shook Europe from centre to circum
ference and only yielded to banded
nations and the ravage of disease. It
was not long since said of the Gormans,
by those who did not comprehend
them and their silent forces of mind
and matter, that they were non-pro
gressive and wanting in vivacity. Many
among them, indeed, are given over to
metaphysics and day-dreaming, but
how many more are there who match,
if they do not now surpass, the beet
achievements of any other race? A
people who have produced a Goethe,
a Schiller, a Freiligrath, an Uhland,
a Korner aud a Yon Arndt in poetry ;
a Niebuhr and Lepsius in develop
ment of historical arcana ; a Liebig in
natural philosophy and chemistry;
a Leibnitz, one of the few men
since the creation who comprehended
the whole circle of the sciences ; a
Humboldt as a traveler and universal
savant ; a Bismarck and a Kaunitz
in statesmansip aud a Frederick the
Great and Von Moltke in the art of
war—such a people, we say, cannot
but be considered on the foremost
lines of intellectual grandeur and
civilization. We cannot forget either
tho wit of Heine, the divine genius for
music of Mendelssohn, Mozart and
Listz ; the noble army of painters
from Holbein to Kaulbach ; a Krupp
in manufactures; and, last but not
least, the piety, the fervor, the purity,
the exalted spirit of Yon Mallinck
rodt, who never quailed before the
Grand Chancellor himself and, when
dead, was honored by the most formida
ble of his political antagonists, because,
whether right or mistaken in his con
ception of politics, he maintained his
principles to the last as a son of the
Crusaders and was made of the stuff
that martyrs were bred from in the
dawn of the Christian era. A people
who can point with pride to so many
glorious names in the past aud present
must have a wonderful future in store
for them.
The Baltimore Gazette, of a recent
date, sums up tho enterprise and na
tional ambition of this great nation, as
demonstrated by vary recent events.
It says : “Since 1870 Germany has made
wonderful progress both on land and
sea. Her citizens are scattered all
over the world. She even talks of plan
ting colonies aud getting naval stations
—she that hardly had a navy ten years
ago. Over seventy German steamers
run to New York alone. To Germany
Baltimore is indebted for the sagacity
which forecasted the future, and saw
the advantages of a port so near the
West, The South American trade is
also largely In the hands of the Ger
mans, and in China they are recog
nized as among the most enterprising
of all foreigners. The blood of the old
Northmen is telling after so many
years. It is a matter, therefore, of
congratulation that the German char
acter is as sterling and as steady as it
is. Asa nation Germany has a great
work to do. The great apprehension
in Europe seems to be that Germany
is ambitious of becoming a maritime
Power by the acquisition, not so much
of Belgium as of Holland, and that she
would willingly allow France some ex
tension of her boundaries if she would
enter into a compact for that object.
Holland would give Germany easy ad
mittance to the sea. It would give her
colonial possessions, the means of
training a navy and of establishing
distant naval stations and cruising
grounds. But all this is only plausi
ble conjecture. In the present uncer
tainty the strangest possible schemes
are attributed by adventurous news
paper writers to the Cabinet of Berlin,
and the whole of Europe is but a chess
board upon which every one considers
himself to make his combina
tions.”
Without worrying ourselves about
penetrating the secret designs of Prince
Bismarck, we prefer to regard the influ
ence of German character when graft
ed upon our American stock. Among
the btist and thriftiest citizens we have,
North or South, are the Germans.
They take an interest in all affairs, and
without much hurly-burly, but, quietly
and pleasantly, push to the front among
the foremost of the native population.
It is true they preserve many of their
old-country customs; but are not
these customs, so preserved, deserving
of transplantation t<f this soil ? We
are indebted to them for lager beer ;
and as men will imbibe something
ardent, how much drunkenness
has been prevented by the use
of that beverage instead of fiery and
death-dealing whiskey and brandy.
But, except their good example as citi
zens and frugal managers, we hold that
the introduction of their national
Schuetzenfest is something for Ameri
cans to be thankful for. It is only too
true that even this custom has been
abused by the worst class of Americans
at the North, even in the city of Balti
more; but, in the South, we have heard
no complaints; only praise and admi
ration. We congratulate our Schuet
zen Club then upon their festival this
year, which promises to be so en
tertaining and successful. In re
viving the memories of the land of
their birth, through their national feet,
they will not forget the land of their
adoption, the passionate but generous
South, for which so many of their
brethren gave their lives ungrudgingly
although compelled to meet in battle,
on the other side, soldiers who fought
for another cause and 'another home.
While honoring his old country, the
German always remembers that, in the
language of one of his poets, his Father
land is where fate has cast him and
where he can sing his hymns, speak his
tongue and enjoy the true liberty of
living as his conscience dictates. If he
can not find that satisfaction at home,
he makes a Fatherland abroad, and
so is a true philosopher to the last.
CASSIUS M. CLAY.
Nothing can better tostify to tho ex
traordinary revolution in certain gra
dations of public sentiment than the
appearance of the venerable Cassius
M. Clay at a Democratic Convention,
which nominated a Confederate soldier
for Governor of Kentucky, on a plat
form in no way opposed to the resolu
tions of ’9B.
Cassius M. Clay was a rampant abo
litionist 30 years ago, when to be a
politician of that sort in the South
was not the most fashionable or pleas
ant thing in the world. He voted for
Lincoln in 1860 and even desired to
lead men into battle agaiust his own
section. In 1862 he was sent to St.
Petersburg as Minister. The New
Orleans llmes tells the result
thus : “ At his first interview with the
Czar, he walked into the presence
chamber, and after carefully planting
a hat of the peculiar Kentucky pattern,
not as hew as it once was, on the Em
peror’s private table, sat down to wait
further proceedings ! Such a thing as
anybody’s sitting down in the presence
of the Emperor of all the Russias was
unheard of ; the Imperial Chamberlain
was stupefied, and old Gortschakoff
was carried almost fainting from the
room.” This is on a par with John
Randolph's behavior at the same Court.
When introduced to the presence of
Majesty, the weird little man, rushed
to the Autocrat, seized him convul
sively by the hand and, in a shrill voice,
exclaimed : “ Good morning, Emperor!
How is the madam ?”
Of late years the ministry to Russia
seems to have been, except in the case
of Mr. Jewell, a sort of diplomatic
Siberia for decayed American states
men.
Mr. Clay has, however, eccentric,
a sensible mind. He has lived to wit
ness the evil result of his theories and
to measurably repent of them. He
sees at last, no doubt, that Reconstruc
tion has been the ruin of the country,
and that the old principles of Thomas
Jefferson are forever salutary aud
forever vital. As Mr. Clay steps down
from the Sumner and Greeley pulpit,
we are treated to the monstrous invita
tion, among some Southern men, of
occupying once more that worthless
bit of furniture. The great reaction at
present is in favor of States Rights and
agaiust the Congressional abominations
since 1865. Men who propose to go
back to 1872 and its prodigious mistake
are behind the age, and we trust they
will not discover it when too late for
their own good and tho good of their
country.
BUSINESS DEPRESSION.
The United States are not alone in
suffering from mercantile depression.
The New York papers represent that
serious monetary trouble is experienced
in Berlin, Vienna and other Continental
centres. No doubt much of the diffi
culty in European finance can be attri
buted to the establishment and main
tenance of huge standing armies, which
eat away the substance of the working
classes, and abstract so much mind and
muscle from industrial pursuits,
which atone make nations com
fortable and wealthy, in a mate
rial sense. An exchange says the
German manufactories “ are not pros
pering, and the working classes suffer
from the consequences of this fact, as
well as from the tardy arrival of Spring.
Thus, the large steel manufactory of
Krupp, in Essen, was obliged to dis
miss some thousand workmen, and the
largest manufactory of engines, that
of Borsig, in Berlin, has met with a
similar fate. A; week ago the largest
Austrian manufactory of engines, Sigl,
announced the dismissal of 2,000 work
men, because it had neither sufficient
orders nor sufficient working capital.
This latter danger has been happily
surmounted by the aid of the Govern
ment on a petition backed by the Low
er Austrian Landtag. That the great
manufactory might have work to do,
the Government caused some railway
companies, whose rolling stock Is
somewhat defective, to give it extens
ive orders.”
The telegraph informs us that the
Emperor of Russia has proposed a
general disarmament of the huge aud
overgrown military establishments of
Europe. We trust that he will set the
example and that thousands of men
now armed to the teeth and ready to
cut each other’s throats, to further the
ambitious views of some dynasty, will
be sent back to the plough, the loom
and the anvil, as well as to the moral
atmosphere of domestic firesides,
which may purge away the evil ma
laria of the camp.
■
Indeed !—The Athens Watchman
says: m
Our acquiescence lu the Liberal nomina
tion of 1872 places us on this high “vantage
ground ’ now we can present candidates
and a platform for the campaign of 1876.
With a united front, assisted by the Liber
al Republicans, dissatisfied Radicals and
the “ floating vote,” success will be inevi
table, if we avoid all imprudent utterances
—a success which cannot be achieved in
any other manner.
The men who disapproved the Gree
ley movement, like Allen and Eaton,
have been the winners of victory East
and West, on platforms contrary to
that of the Cincinnati and Balti
more Conventions. If the wire-pullers
of the Democracy attempt the Greeley
game in 1876 they will be slaughtered.
When Halstead’s Liberal Republicans
confess that no Democratic victory on
Democratic principles will be ac
ceptable to them ; and when men like
Pig-iron Kelley are sick to death of
Reconstruction ; we ought by all means
to endorse the Infamies of the XlVth
and XVth amendments 1 Our friend
of tho Watchmcui will find that the
people are not in the mood to repeat
I the blunder e! 1872.
Dr. Felton.— A reporter of the At
lanta Herald has interviewed Dr. Fel
ton, who, among other things, said:
Colonel F.—l agroo with the views of La
mar aud Gordon, as expressed in the Her
ald some days since. I think that the Gree
ley movement was a wiso one, and I should
support it again if it wore to do over again,
as heartily as I did before. I think that we
can control the voto that gave us victory
last year, and do it without any sacrifice of
principle. I think that it will be impossible
to beat a man like Thurman, if he were
nominated on tho Greeley platform. He
would be triumphantly elected. The party
has a certain and easy victory ahead of it,
if it is only wise.
Tho Hon. Doctor has evidently not
read the pronunciamento of Schurz
and Halstead. The nomination of
Thurman on a Greeley platform would
be equivalent to running Prince Bis
marck for the German Parliament ou a
platform made by the French Assem
bly. How does Colonel Abrams like
his little man ?
LETTER FROM ATLANTA.
The Mountain Country of Georgia as a
Summer Resort—Other Things, &c.
|From Our Regular Correspondent.]
Atlanta, Ga., May 11th.
The restless mercury bobs up and
down among the blood-thirsty nineties
with a panting recklessness. The
weather has gone off on a pic-nic, and
in its place has left a lot of hotness
that can’t be cooled with ice, mint
juleps or Eve-like nakedness. The
hot-headed sun pours down his scorch
ing rays, cooking us to a turn, aud
making life in this vicinity as unplea
sant as it Is naughty. The ground is
too hot to hold the dust which gets a
straddle of every accommodating puff of
wind, and rushes with a cyclone fierce
ness and hurricane recklessness into
unshut eyes, gaping moutbs and un
waxed ears.
Being no respecter of age, sex or
previous condition, and in all respects
an indlscriminatiug fraud, this grainy
dust freckles the paper-white shirt
front of the nobby swell with as much
gusto and enjoyment as it does the
hickbry shirt of the plodding machinist;
ruins forever and eternally the fifteen
dollar hat of your aristocratic high
born damsel as well as the old-fash
ioned, wide-mouthed sunbounet of the
workiug girl; spreads a dry plaster
over the linens, silks and ribbons of
the “prince of merchants,” as well as
on the weepy onions and faded cab
bages of the green grocer ; filling the
almond-shaped eyes.of the presump
tive belle as well as the mild dreamy
eyes of the fresh baby—scampering
with fearful wmds among flowers and
feathers, among boxes and barrels—
making everybody mad as biue-blazes,
and as gritty as beds of babbling
brooks. And yet we have gone no
farther through the almanac than
May ! Summer seems to be in a hurry
to pay us ttye annual visit. Like the
visit of the average mother-in-law, it
keeps up an uneven temperature of
hotness during the stay. Wo lay aside
the light-complected spring suits
and bashfully draw on a few costumes
of summer, but when sable night
draws down her bed-clothes, the at
mosphere assumes a coldness and we
go to sleep wondering il! we havn’t got
the months sorter mixed up.
The freckled aud juicy strawberry
blushiugly peeps over the rim of small
baskets for twenty five ceuts a peep,
and Spring garden truck ornaments
the doorways of green grocers in abun
dance. The early birds of the vegeta
ble line have come aud gone, aud only
their memory tingles on our palate.
Radishes have blushed and retired,
whilst
“The last pea of pea-time
Left pea-ing alone,”
reminds us that wo are just on the
final and ragged edge of Spring, wait
ing for a gush of mountain air to blow
us over into tho warm embrace of
Summer.
But why sigh? Many and various
are the avenues to recreation, pic-nics
and excursions leading out of thedust
ladened city, and permeating every
nook and crevice of the honey-suckled,
green budding, sap-bounding country.
Costing only a trifle—often only the
cost of a cigar—one can j ump at one
bound from the sweat-making, noisy
city into the fragrant buds, blos
soms and red-bugs of rural fe
licity. You can clamber up the
winding raggedness of Stone Moun
tain, gorging your nature-loving
vision with glens, dales and vales;
skinning your shins among abrupt
cliffs aud rugged declines, and sliding
In school-boy fashion adown slippery
sides ; you can stand on the top—the
place where the cool breezes are born
that fan the heads of those who rest
on city pillows—and drink in the glori
ous view that meets your eye. Fields
teeming with golden grain, green
bordered farms, grassy plains and val
leys—all seem to be glad of your con
descension and smile their rural wel
come. It Is here that you can feed
yourself with the virgin air—the balmy
breezlet before it takes It leap from the
mountain’s top for a jaunt through the
city, and feel it cooling your blood,
bracing your brain and sending new
life into every muscle.
Perhaps you have been to Stone
Mountain ; well, there is New Holland
with its wonderful springs and salu
brious climate, where you can. cut your
self loose like an engine from a train of
cars, from all the world., and feast on
the fat of tho land, with nothing to
trouble you. New Holland lias been
settled 55 years, always a place of re
sort, aud during that time no death
occurred within several miles of it.—
And now there is no grave within two
miles of the place. A pretty good re
cord for an Atlanta attachment.
Then, again, you can let your hair
grow long and fall on your shoulders
in ringlets, take to poetry, affect ro
mance, and wander amid the peculiar
and genuine lunatics that hang around
Tuceoa Falla. Here you can confront
nature in all its grandness and sublimi
ty, where water falls In all its chrystal
clearness over a moss-patched wall,
sprinkling its snowy-fringed spray iu
charming confuasiou among time-worn
rocks and glistening pebbles. It is here
that the poetry in your composition
oozes out, aud the grosser realities of
life seem smothered up In the grandeur
of the scene and the ravages of the
red bug. For it is said that in one of
Tuccoa’s shade-embowered glades, Col.
Harris, of the Savannah News, tusseled
long and hard with one of those infini
tesimal miseries aud carried both logs
in a sling for month# afterward.
If these resorts are too far away you
can jump on a street car and in fifteen
minutes find yourself at either the West
End Mineral Spring of the cool, invit
ing Ponce de Leon Springs. Here you
can rusticate in the country, barring
the distance.
Taken all in all, no dty in the South,
save those whose skirts are embroid
ered with ocean beac.hiw, can hang out
her shingle for a Summer and health
resort with a more solid array of re
creative and healthful sub-resorts than
dust-ridden, mud-provoking Atlanta.
And aside from her attractiveness
and position as a health-restorer and
invalidic rendezvous, she possesses all
those metropolitan traits, progressive
ness and industry so comforting to the
Northern and so gratifying to the
Southern seeker after pleasure and
health.
Two and three pic-nics a day swell
the excursion cars. Then tho local
night amusements, the fairs, festivals,
sacred and secular concerts, taffy
bees, target practice, balls, parties, etc.,
fill up any night of the Summer. To
the church-goer Atlanta affords facili
ties seldom enjoyed. No matter how
complicated your religion, there is a
place for you. For instance, there are
Baptists, Cumberland Baptists, Presby
terians, High and Low Church Episco
palians, Northern and Southern Meth
odists, Christians, Uuiversalists, Ger
man Lutheran aud colored churches.
Bro. Leftwicli, of the First Presbyte
rian, is our Talmage, in that ho lashes
the drama and pictures all sorts of
damnation to theatre goers. With all
these fine advantages no wonder our
hotels are full of strangers. It only
requires a company to be formed now
to buy out the town, turn in the Chat
tahoochee river, and run the thing as a
Southern Saratoga.
Other Things.
The City Fathers have recently swal
lowed a good dose of poor Macon’s
economy. The new charter makes the
Councilmen Individually responsible for
appropriations, hence they are deuced
careful how they vote out the money.
$35,000 was appropriated last night at
their meeting to public schools, and
$14,000 to streets. The street tax is
now $5.00 per head. There was con
siderable fussing over the school ap
propriation.
A “Taffy Bee” is the latest thing
out among the ladies. One is hum
ming to-night for the benefit of the
Methodist Church.
Schofield’s Rolling Mill store was
robbed last Saturday night of about
$l5O worth of goods.
A trunk factory is in full blast here.
Anything now necessary for an ele
phant or a carpet-bagger made at short
notice.
The Atlanta Artillery, under com
mand of Gen Mcßae, will pic-nic at
Smyrna next week. The novelty will
be the target practice of the cannon.
Another fire occurred here yester
day morning, destroying two dwelling
houses on Harris street. Partially in
sured.

ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS.
Jay Gould’s Little Pool to Control the
Transportation of the Country.
[New York Graphic ]
Are the public aware of the full im
: port of the gossip current iu Wall
■ street concerning Jay Gould and his
! designs ? This man is credited with
! more enormous schemes than any he
I has yet undertaken to accomplish, aud
! tiie realizing or all these projects
would constitute him the greatest spec
ulator on the planet.
In addition to the ownership of the
Union Pacific, Pacific Mail, aud Atlan
tic and Pacific Telegraph, he is now
generally credited on the street with
the intention of speedily controlling
Chicago and Northwest, Lake Shore,
and Erie, and even Western Union.
It is easy enough to talk and write
about these things, but consider the
figures for a momeut.
The following is a rough estimate of
the capital uecessary for the control of
all these corporations. Their present
value may be reached thus :
Present
Capital. value.
Union Pacific $ 37,000,000 $ 28,100,000

NewYork Tribune 1,000,000 1,000,000
Pacific Mail 20,000,000 0,000,000
Total $281,000,000 $153,000,000
As two-thirds of this $153,000,000
would more than suffice to control all
of these corporations, it may be safely
estimated that with about $100,000,000
the Gould clique could do as they
pleased with each and all. Eighty
million doliais even would be enough—
as the possession of only a little more
than half the stock gives a controlling
interest. With that sum, then, Gould
could play the despot over the trans
portation of this country.
DEAD DISSENTERS.
The Trouble They Have About Get
ting Buried in England.
Nearly one-half of the population of
England and Wales are “Dissenters”—
that is, they have separated on con
scientious grounds from the Estab
lished Church, and have become Bap
tists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Oon
gregationalists, and so on. While these
people live they are not subjected to
any pains or disabilities in consequence
of their separation from the national
church, The compulsory payment of
church-rates has been abolished ; they
have their owu chapels in which they
may worship, be baptized, and get
married. But when they come to die
and be burried their troubles begin—
at least tho troubles of those of them
who live in the country parishes. In
the cities and large towns they have
cemeteries of their own, or they may
be buried in the general cemeteries,
which are open to all. But iu the
country parishes there is but one grave
yard, and that is the “churchyard.” It
belongs to the national church as
much as the church building, and the
parish clergyman has absolute control
over it. It is consecrated ground, just
as the church itself is a consecrated
building, and the church is not willing
that any religious services other than
its own should be performed either in
the church or in the churchyard.
Thus it comes to pass that when a
Dissenter dies in a country village he
must be buried either without any reli
gious rites at all, or else with the reli
gious rites of the Established Church,
performed by the Parish clergyman or
his curate. This has long been felt as
an intolerable grievance by the Dissen
ters, and for several years they have
attempted to induce Parliament to pass
a bill compelling the parish clergymen
to permit dissenting ministers of all
sects to bury their dead in the parish
churchyards with their own rites.
From 1870 to 1874 this bill was each
year passed by the House of Commons
in which there was a Liberal majority,
and as regularly thrown out by the
Lords. This year, on April 22, the bili
was voted on again in the Commons.
The Tories now have a strong majority,
but on the vote, in a house of 482 mem
bers, the bill was thrown out by a ma
jority of only fourteen. The Dissenters
seem to regard this as a great victory,
although the resistance of the Lords,
who represent the church feeling,
would have been all the same had the
bill even passed the Lower House.
Tho original copy of the Declaration
of Independence, which has been lu the
Patent Office at W ashington for years,
has faded so that the signatures are
scarcely visible, and a skilled penman
is to go over the document with tho aid
of a strong microscope, and retrace all
the signatures so as to make them dis
tinct and legible.
“Do you think that souls separated
here are united hereafter ?” asked a
pale, emaciated pietist of a friend. “I
hope not,” was the chilling reply. “It
cost me a pretty good figure to get a
divorce, and when I invested that
money I invested it for time and eter
nity, too.”

SHADINES !
17HYE 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 iu 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
ahiih Ocean Trout,, for Shadines, customers
will bear in mind we are the original and
only packers of Shadines, aud every genu
ine box has the letters H. & C. prassed on
each side. HOOPE &, CO.,

OF THE
LAGER BEER
FEOM
E. ANHEUHER JHc CO.,
IS ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI:
U. S. NAVAL LABORATORY, i
New Yobk, September, 1874. j
The “ST. LOUIS LAGER BEER” of E.
Anheuser & Cos., at St. Louis, Mo., having
been analysed, gave the following results;
Speclfie 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 readdy 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
schwelger Mum mo and Munchener Lager
Beer: its substance of alcohol comes near
the “Munchener Hofbrau,” and its extract
substance proves to be between the ‘ Zacherl
Doppelbier” and the ‘ Salvator Beer.”
CONCLUSIONS FROM THE ANALYSIS OF THE
QUALITY:
The quality of this Beer, as shown bv 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 iiavor 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. CONEAD,
Chemist of U. S. Naval Laboratory.
