Too Much Cotton—Must the South De
pend Upon the Ravaged West ? j
Our special correspondent from
Charleston, S. C., says “ the people
along the line of the C. C. & A. Rail
from Columbia to Chester, expect
to live on cotton seed, as they have
planted nothing but cotton.” We dare
say this statement is relatively true of
many other localities in Georgia and
South Carolina. Now we do not wish
to assume superior knowledge or dic
tate to planters what they shall or sl;all
not put into the ground, but we feel it
a bounden duty, with the lights before
us, to ask them to consider with us
what is best for them and best for the
country. If all accounts bo true, or
even approximate truth, the cot
ton mania in the South has be
come more rabid than ever, this
season. Have our planters read re
ports of the destruction of Winter
wheat in the Northern States ? Have
they heard nothing of the ravages of
grasshoppers in the Western States?
Do they reflect that the chances are
very heavily against their purchasing
corn from abroad at anything like even
last year’s prices. If they do not sus
tain themselves to a great extent, by
home product of cereals, they may have
to sell their cotton for low figures and
buy meat and bread at what may be
termed assassinating prices. When
will our farming community learn
that the South to be great,
wealthy and happy must in an
eminent degree be self-sustaining ?
She has one of the grandest terri
tories on the earth, containing, as so
few countries do, all of the elements of
power and independence in a crude
state, needing only, as good govern
ment is gradually restored, the prac
tice among her own people of those
virtues and policies which develop il
limitable resources. When this section
shall become self-sustaining, and be
purged of embarrassing legislation—
which is only a premium offered to
roguery and a destroyer of credit and
manhood—then may we hope to see the
South the most prosperous clime under
the sun. But so long as the people of
this highly favored land fly into the
face of Providence and common sense,
refusing to feed themselves when fam
ine stalks amid their Western grana
ries, and every day their credit is sink
ing into contempt, abroad and at home
—so long may we expect to wear, not
only the shackles of an unfriendly
government, but fetters forged by our
own hands, to make our position al
most intolerable. Upon the planter
nearly everything in the South de
pends for prosperity or misfortune.
If he pursues a wrong system
every interest suffers a species of
paralysis. If he acts wisely for his
own good, the general welfare is as
sured. In the midst of the sources of
plenty our people are in want. It is
true that the political war against us
by Congress, following the war iu the
field and the Abolition crusade, has
made our burden difficult to stagger
under. But we have, of our own act,
added another obstacle to our well
being ; and until we learn to live, to a
great degree, within ourselves, and
restore commercial credit, the wisest
man may stand aghast at the future
prospect. We fear that all of this
counsel, which seems to us good, is
wasted. If our people cannot
be warned for their own benefit
by past misfortunes, they will
not listen to a prophet though he
come from the grave. We can only
hope that the case is not as bad as it
now appears, and that the South will
not have to depend upon a country for
bread which is now being devoured by
one of the plagues of Egypt—for the
insect which now desolates the North
west is a locust and not a grasshopper.
We have had a cotton report; let us
hear something about the corn crop,
which bids fair to be of quite as much
importance to the man of the city as
well as the man of the country.
Varioloid as a Political Agent—Robert
Dale Oweu Materializes.
Mr. Robert Dale Owen, having re
covered from his delusion about Katie
King, essays to show how negro suf
frage would have been postponed for
ten years, after the war, had not Mr.
Fessenden been attacked by varioloid.
We do not think Mr. Owen has materi
alized his spook of Fessenden any bet
ter than he did the shade of Katie
King. But one good thing has come of
his attempt to do so, and that is, with
the frightful crimes of the Reconstruc
tionists before their eyes, Republican
papers are inclined to bewail Fessen
den’s mischance. All such fantasies,
however, are vain or useless. If
Letitia Ramolini had not married
Charles Bonaparte, the peace and map
of Europe might have remained un
changed for lack of the Corsican con
queror. Speculation over what “might
have been” is curious but idle. We
know what the Republican varioloid is
in the South, and hope to be rid of it
before many days elapse.
Ihe Watchman.— Our Athens friend,
the Watchman, deprecates all contro
versy with regard to the campaign of
18<2 as involving a similar movement
in 1876. The Watchman thus concludes:
We want sound men on a sound platform,
and then we want success, without which
platforms and men are practically worth
less.
We merely remark, as a closing wo?d,
that “ sound men on a sound platform ”
are essential to success, and that it
was just to secure success we have
been disposed to find fault with some
of our leaders, who, not long ago,
opened the old issues of 1872, and
seemed more than anxious to try them
over again in 1876. If there had been
no protest against that overture, an
other blunder, greater than the last,
might have been committed. So, the
controversy has dom? some good after
aH. t _

the old Democratic Boston Post, although
a Republican, will, it is said, simply liber
alize the paper and “keep it within the
lines of the Democracy ."—Courier-Journal.

Mr. Lincoln —His Death Tragic, But
Not Untimely.
Recalling the sad scenes of Mrs. Lin
coln’s alleged insanity, the Newark
Advertiser thus speaks of her unfortu
nate husband:
Mr. Lincoln’s death was not untimely.
It is no sure thing that his brain could have
stood the fret and worry of the reconstruc
tion of the Union. He had been for four
years at high bent, every faculty strained,
every emotion keenly aroused. He had
held solemn communion with his God,
made passionate appeals to human motive,
had toiled without resting, had been the
conscious instrument of the shedding of
rivers of blood, of the emancipation of a
race of millions of slaves, the presiding
genius of vast expenditures, the controll
ing voice in delicate and difficult foreign
relations, and the representative man in
homo politics. In all that time he never
had a majority of American voters on his
side. He was in a minority of the whole
Union throughout the war. The strain was
fearfully intense, and his brain was drunk
with the intoxication of great events. We
question whether it would not have gone
down under the reaction of peace—such a
peace as it was—and with the loss of the
stimulant have given away under the fear
ful sense of the fatigue. We say this rev
erently of a man whose memory is pre
cious to all right-thinking people. But the
guess we make is justified by the record of
too many of our public men who have died
from wear and tear of brain, whether in
national politics or business ambition.
We have little doubt of the truth of
this theory. Between the deviltries of
the Reconstructionists and the result
ing evil, handicapped by the uncertain
and galling caprices of his wife, it is
likely enough that Mr. Lincoln es
caped madness by becoming a “mar
tyr,” in a theatre, on Good Friday
night. So, according to Northern Re
publican testimony, the pistol of crazy
Booth saved Mr. Lincoln from a fate
worse than death ; and, if even the
Devil lias a redeeming trait—his intel
lect—this hypothesis may, to some
extent, soften the assassin’s crime. If
it be true, too, as the Spiritualists re
late, that the slayer and the slain have
met in the other world and made the
matter up between them, possibly
the spectral ex-President may have
congratulated the ghostly actor for
sending his name down to posterity as
a “martyr,” whereas he might other
wise have dragged through a long ex
istence with a wisp of straw upon his
head, foam upon his lips, madness in
his brain and finally expired a “drivel
ler and a show.” The ingenious writer
who apologized for Judas Iscariot
could make out a strong case from this
testimony in extenuation of Booth.
Tlie Chronicle and Sentinel—A Pew
Words of Fraternity,
We say, most kindly, to our friends
cf the Chronicle and Sentinel, that the
editor of this paper will never fail to
authorize any of his colleagues to de
fend themselves against what they
have reason to believe unjust asper
sions. He would be faithless to him
self and to them by pursuing any other
course. Judge Reese was amply able
to take care of himself, and when our
contemporary volunteered to enter the
lists in his defense, taking care to strike
a side blow at this paper, the only
course left for our city editor was to
make good his position or retire from
the field with a brand upon his reputa
tion as a journalist of conscientious
character. He has stated his case with
force and logic. If there was any se
verity of treatment toward our Broad
street friends, they probably brought
it upon themselves.
The feelings of tho editor of this
paper to the gentlemen who so vigor
ously and cleverly conduct the Chroni
cle and Sentinel are of a friendly char
acter. He has always, when occasion
served, mado public these sentiments.
If our contemporaries shall perform a
great feat in journalism they may be
assured that this paper, far from ridi
culing or belittling the effort of a com
petitor, will swiftly, cordially and ex
haustively eulogize their enterprise
and call upon the people and the press,
within reach of its voice, to honor and
applaud that which is at once credita
ble to Augusta, to our profession and
to the South. We trust sincerely that
no spites of rivalry will ever come near
bur heads or hearts.
Touching mere political differences,
made up of issues now being agitated
In tho Democratic party, we shall be
glad alwa3 T s to agree with our contem
porary, when we can ; and, when that
is impossible, to disagree most respect
fully. Our friend does not more ar
dently desire tho overthrow of the Rad
ical party, root and branch, than the
Constitutionalist. He has one way of
achieving this design; we have an
other. Time will decide between us.
Asa final word, we may be allowed to
remark that the Constitutionalist has
always been a Democratic paper and
always expects to be. Our friends of
the Chronicle may fall to see many
things in this journal not precisely to
their fancy of what is wise or politic,
and we can not hope to be always right,
sharing as we do the common lot of
mortals—fallibility. But we trust sin
cerely that our frieuds will never fail
to see, on our part, a devotion to
duty and an unswerving attachment
to what we conceive to be true Demo
cratic principles. Never while the
writer retains his hold upon life will he
relax his grasp upon the faith of the
Fathers of the Republic; and never
while his soul survives in the body will
he cease to love the South and struggle
for her deliverance, her honor and her
glory—believing that the perpetuation
of free institutions and happiness in a
restored Union depend upon her re
creation, absolved from the tyranny of
Republican philosophers and their rig
orous instruments in office.
The editor renews his assurances of
high regard and esteem for the Chroni
cle and Sentinel and its conductors. He
trusts never to assail them unjustly,
and will strive to practice the utmost
forbearance when assault is made upon
him, or his colleagues. He feels confi
dent that these sentiments are fully
appreciated and leeiprocated by his
esteemed contemporary, whom he sin
cerely wishes an uninterrupted career
of profit and renown.
Won’t somebody go to Vienna and
make up the population? The last
census makes it exactly 1,001,999.
How to Get Them.— The New Orleans
Times says:
They have a citizen in Cincinnati who is
named John. H. Hell. The pious people
ought to have his name changed. He had
a bill against that city for $5.15, and when
the Mayor told the Council that Hell was
to pay that night why they paid him.
Maybe, he would be a good man to
bring down here and employ as a fiery
attorney on the water question. We
are afraid however that the Augusta
Council would make a deviled terrapin
even of John H.

LETTER FROM ATLANTA.
The New Synagogue and Its Corner-
Stone Ceremonies—Judge Bradley’s
Decision—Seizing a Train of Cars—
The Smith-Fish Affair—Dots.
[Special Correspondence Constitutionalist.|
Atlanta, Ga., May 25th, 1875.
The laying of the corner-stone of the
Jewish Syngogue yesterday was an oc
casion long to be remembered in At
lanta. It was just that kind of an oc
casion which brought the
Jew and Gentile
together as feliow-men, and one that
makes stronger the bond of love be
tween them. As an item of interest to
the Jews of the State, I will give you a
description of the affair :
The procession, headed by a band of
music, composed the following: Chil
dren of the Hebrew Sunday School,
Mayor and Council, officers and mem
bers of Schiller Lodge of Odd Fellows,
Masons and officers and members of
Gate City Lodge of B’nai Berith.
After marching through the princi
pal streets the procession halted at the
corner of Garnett and Forsyth streets,
where the synagogue is being built.
Here a large concourse of citizens had
assembled. After a song, composed by
Rev. Henry Gersoni, the pastor of the
First Baptist Church, Rev. E. W. War
ren, offered up a prayer, and then pro
ceeded to the ceremony of laying the
stone. The Grand Master of the Ma
sons, Rev. D. E. Butler, tried the stone
with the plumb and square, then poured
on it the cup of corn, of oil and of wine.
Dr. J. M. Boring then deposited in it
the following articles ; Ancient coin,
names of Mayor and Council, list of
members of the Hebrew congregation,
a copy each of the Herald, News, Con
stitution, Christian Index, Georgia
Grange, Commonwealth, Sunny South,
American Israelite, Jewish Messenger
and Jewish Record; $5 Confederate
note, programme of the exercises, &c.
The stone bears this inscription : “ I
will erect this house to the name of
the Eternal—the God of Israel. 5635
year of erection.”
Past Grand Master of Masons, Sam
uel Lawrence, then delivered a beauti
ful and appropriate address. Then fol
lowed a lecture by the Rabbi, Rev, H.
Gersoni. Iu this lecture, he truthfully
said: “When the ceremonies of this day
were planned by the elders of my con
gregation, it was suggested that I
should appear on this occasion in my
ministerial garments. But I decidedly
refused to do so. lam in principle op
posed to the ministerial apparel, even
iu the pulpit. Such paraphernalia
may be necessary for a religion of the
senses, but they are quite unnecessary
—even objectionable—to a religion of
the intellect and of the heart. Juda
ism, since the dispersion of our race,
has never required any outward distinc
tion between the minister and his con
gregation with regard to the principles
of morality and virtue, which they
are to pursue alike, so also should all
outward distinctions be banished. The
congregation ought to know its minis
ter by his moral influence, not by the
garment he wears.”
The ceremonies were concluded by
an appropriate oration by Grand Mas
ter D. E. Butler.
The Building
is oriental in style, 52 feet wide by 77
feet long, constructed of brick on a
stone foundation. The main tower will
be on the corner and surmounted by a
cupola and spiral dome. The audito
rium will be modern, tho floor declin
ing to the pulpit. Tho ark will be
placed iu a recess in the rear of the
building with an arch over the entrance.
The ceiling of the auditorium will be
divided into bays, supported by circu
lar-ribbed arches springing from folia
ted corbeels. The front entrance is
approached by a flight of steps, through
a handsome doorway, flanked by two
banded columns, with foliated caps,
over which is a handsome rose window!
The roof will be covered with slate with
dressing of corrugated iron and com
position stone.
The Circuit Court.
The decision of Judge Bradley, sus
taining L. P. Grant as Receiver of the
Air Line Road, was well received here.
This settles the long mooted question,
so far as Georgia is concerned, ami
from all I can learn the decision gives
satisfaction, as under the management
of Col. Grant the best interests of all
parties and of the Road will be sub
served.
The injunction to stop the sale of the
Macon and Brunswick Road was re
fused. This leaves the complainants no
other hope than to rely upon Georgia
for more “aid.” I presume the sale will
now be made as advertised.
A Heavy Seizure.
You have heard of the Sheriff who
levied on a menagerie and was non
plussed as to what disposition he could
make of the elephant! Well, what do
you think of the seizure of a train of
cars, the engine red hot and with lots
of steam?
Our Sheriff seized an engine, baggage
car and three passenger cars of the
Air-Liue Road yesterday evening by
virtue of an attachment in favor of
Grant, Alexander & Cos., versus tho Air-
Line Road. The levy grew out of a
note for $15,000, made by the Air-Line
and endorsed by Grant, Alexander &
Cos. Tiie attachment is to preserve
themselves from loss. The wheels were
fastened by a chain and lock, and now
stand upon the track losing steam in
impatience.
The Smith-Fish Letters.
By this time you have seen the tail
of this spasmodic trouble. I endeav
ored to get a copy of the la6t letter but
failed. But even with this last letter,
there still lingers a bit of reproach
on the silence of His Excellency. Mr.
Walsh’s card, although exonerating
himself from all blame in tho matter,
does not justify the Governor in his
Grant-like silence. The proper thing
for him to have done would have been
the publication of Mr. Fish’s explana
tory reply immediately upon seeing
his own traveling around the coun
try like a kite without a tail The
Governor’s letter was well-timed,
manly and administered a great re
buke to Fish for the “ clerical mis
take,” but it would have been more
manly had he published all the corres
pondence and thus saved the utter
ance of many hard things against the
Centennial.
The Centennial
is not a humbug, as the Savannah News
claims, but a national occasion, and
one at which the South and North can.
meet on a level and celebrate a day
that gave both an independence.
But as the correspondence has been
“ published in full” at last, and endea
vors made to drop the matter, I’ll say
no more about it.
Bard.
It is with commingled feelings of de
light and sorrow that I chronicle the
fact that Sam Bard is soon to become
an Atlanta journalist, and will issue a
third term paper. As much as I ad
mire the Governor, I must confess a
regret at this announcement. But as
he will also practice law (an accomplish
ment of which few thought him guilty),
the regret is in a measure alleviated.
Dots.
The State Road train leaves here at 4
p. m., and goes to Dalton, a distance of
one hundred miles, in 3>£ hours, and
the stations on that road are so thick
you can’t say Jack Robinson between
them.
A tremendous windstorm came up
yesterday afternoon and one of
the city papers wired a telegram
to every cross-road in Georgia,
asking for full particulars of the
cyclone. And whilst on this sub
ject allow me, not as an attache of the
Constitutionalist, but as an old printer
and journalist, to compliment you on
your recent wonderful journalistic feats.
The Mecklenburg report, newsy, relia
ble and in extenso, was a dash of en
terprise that would not even be dared
by any paper in the South. As boast
ful and—it must be confessed—enter
prising as our papers are here, not one
of them could have accomplished half
the feat had they possessed all the
mail and wire facilities in the country.
It was a bold stroke, and a successful
one, and brother Stevenson may well
be proud of his Waterloo victory.
Roanoke.
Superintendent Georgia Railroad.
Mr. Editor; I fiud in your issue of
yesterday, over the signature of “Stock
holder,” tho following among the re
quirements to constitute a good Super
intendent :
“ He must be an accomplished, cultivated
gentleman; he must be quick, energetic,
unyielding, firm; lie must be Civil Engineer
enough to know that his road is satisfacto
rily and economically kept up; he must be
sufficiently posted in all matters of sup
plies to protect the company’s interest in
purchases; he must know what an engine
can do, and when she does it; he must be
engineer, machinist, accountant, detective,
lawyer and geutleman all in one; his repu
tation for integrity and upright honesty
must be clear as the noon-day sun; and last
but not least ho must be absolutely treo
from all rings or leases, and must stand
for the Georgia Railroad, and the Georgia
Railroad alone.”
Let “Stockholder,” by all means,
name such a man, for he would be not
only qualified to act as President, En
gineer, Board of Directors, Superin
tendent, Conductor, Supervisor, Agent,
Track Raiser, _JLegal Adviser, etc., and
thus happily have all the offices com
bined iu one man, but the corporation
could make more money by exhibiting
him as a natural curiosity at ten cents
a look than even such a mau could
save the road.
Human perfection in “ breeches ” is
what we want, and “ Stockholder” has
described him. Let’s have his name
and put him on exhibition at once.
