THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
SATURDAY, May 29, 1875.
Looking Southward, hut Afraid to
Come.
Many Western farmers are anxious
to come South and settle, but the rabid
Republican papers, which, we presume,
they chiefly read, bar the way with as
tounding fictions about Jefferson
Davis attempting to get the next Demo
cratic nomination for the Presidency
and raw-head-and-bloody-bones ac
counts of trouble between the whites
and negroes. A Western correspondent
of an Alabama journal thus writes:
There is ono great drawback about peo
ple going South, and that is they hear
through the papers somo hard tales about
troubles between the whites of the South
and the negroes. * * * If it were not for
that there would boa great rush South
year after year.
We would not mislead these Western
farmers by representing to them that
they could come here and make for
tunes at once ; but in several States of
the South no fear or apprehension
need be entertained about race feuds,
which seem to be the particular buga
boos. The Western immigrants must
remember that Radical Reconstruc
tion has crippled the South greatly and
will continue to do so, while it lasts.
They know from their experience that
it has injured the West, for this very
eagerness to move from their own
homes, once so prosperous and happy,
testifies to that fact. The hardest
thing for an Eastern and Western
settler in this region to do is the
getting rid of ancient and deeply
rooted prejudices against Southern
planters and their modes of ag
riculture. Immediately after the war
much money was lost by stran
gers who flocked Southward and
boasted that they were going to teach
the lazy and ignorant planters of this
section how to make cotton, rice and
sugar, as well as how to manage the
freedmen. Never were conceited per
sons so terribly and effectually cured of
those ideas, by disastrous experience.
If Eastern or Western men, with
capital, would come here expecting to
learn something themselves, they would
no doubt succeed much better than
those who preceded them. If a South
ern man does not know how to raise
the great staples of his country nobody
does, and if he cannot manage freed
labor, nobody can. We should be glad
to see our friends from the East and
West, come here to develop manufac
tures, mines and small indus
tries, rather than plunge head
long into cotton or rice culture.
We say to them, in all sincerity, that
the principal obstruction in their way,
at present, is the Radical Recon
struction scheme. If they would only
go to work where they are to rid the
whole country of this incubus, by vo
ting the architects of ruin out of power,
the South would not be to them a
gloomy and forbidden region, but a
veritable Land of Promise.
A Continuation of the Hoarliound—
Nordhot!' Again.
Mr. Chas. Ngrdhoff has written still
another letter to the New York Herald
about Louisiana affaits. It is of very
great length, but of absorbing interest
chiefly to the people of the East and
West. He shows that the State is at
peace, and always would have been
had not Reconstruction sent down its
soldiers to oppress and its vagabonds
to ruin and corrupt every wholesome
thing. Northern men and negroes are
safe in Louisiana, just as safe as any
where else, and some of them a little
more so than they deserve to be. Had
Ohio or New York suffered as Louisi
ana suffered, there would not have
been half the forbearance dis
played. Murders have been com
mitted, but more by negroes of whites
than the reverse. When a Congress
“organizes hell” in a State, it also or
ganizes murder. Crime goes unpun
ished under the Reconstruction pro
gramme, and the pardoning power has
been grossly abused. The Courts are
mere mockeries and the Judges crea
tures of the Republican Ring. Negro
labor is still the best in the world,
when not made wild with brass bands
and political liaraugues. Mr. Nord
hoff candidly confesses that the sole
source of trouble is the corrupt and in
efficient administration. He neglects
to state that had there been no Sum
ners, Wilsons and Greeleys, there
would have been no war, no Recon
struction and no Kellogg and War
moth, as well as Grant.
Mr. Nobdhoff concludes with this
powerful indictment:
It is a solemn and undeniable fact that
the Republican rulers of Louisiana have
disorganized society, instead of protecting
the good citizens. The. only danger to the
peace of Louisiana to-day lies in the cor
ruption and inefficiency of her rulers, who
call themselves Republicans and have thus
gained the countenance of the Northern
Republican party and the support of the
Federal Administration. These men have
committed a great crime against the State
and against the country, the greatest crime
which civilized men can commit; for their
misrule has struck a blow at the very
foundations of society here; they have cor
rupted the public morals, they have de
giaded and debauched the negroes, whom
they were sent to lead into the exercise of
citizenship; and, surveying the story of
their misrule, I am constrained to say that
theii plunder of the State, monstrous as it
has been, is the least of their offenses, be
cause it is a graver crime to debauch and
demoralize a State than to steal its
treasure.
Bad as the Warmoths, the Kelloggs
and the Grants are, they would have
been shorn of all capacity for perpe
trating these monstrous crimes, had
not the Republican philosophers clothed
them with the weapons of authority.
There is but one way to give the coun
try peace and prosperity, and that is
an abrogation of the infamous laws
under which tyranny operates, robbery
is made formidable, and virtue driven to
despair.
Another Pest. —Whiles G. Hopper,
Esq., 01 Col. Grass Hopper is dispor
ting himself amid the plains of lowa
and Missouri, Major General Chinch
Bug has left the beds of Wisconsin
families and now roameth in the crops
of that State. Is this a case of trans
fusion of blood ?
Grasshoppers and Grain—The Chica
go Corner.
The Chicago speculators held many
millions of dollars worth of grain, at
pretty high figures, much higher, at
recent accounts, than Eastern or Euro
pean rates. One consequence of this was
a deficient supply of produce at New
York to offset the maturing obligations
of tho West, and a corresponding drain
of Western banks. The Chicago Tribune
says, in effect, that the financial men
of the Northwest were sorely puzzled at
this posturo of affairs, and knew not
what to do, and adds that “ business
thus far has disappointed expectations,
for tho channels of trade show much
greater stagnation than even the most
conservative anticipated. It was
thought that abundant products and
the plethora of money all over the
country would force an active Spring
business, and while wholesale mer
chants have done a fair trade, it is safe
to say that their anticipations, also,
have not been realized.” The New
York commercial papers predicted that
this anomalous condition forced by
speculators could last only so long as
the Western banks stood the strain
upon them, and that just so soon as
New York put the screws upon them,
the corner in grain would be scattered
like chaff before a cyclone. In Balti
more, the opinion prevailed that the
ravages of the locust had not been half
so terrible in the fields as in the news
papers, and prominent dealers declare
that the market has been badly hum
bugged or “grass-hoppered.” Reports
aro very conflicting as to the extent of
the injury inflicted by insects. No
doubt there is much exaggeration in
the reports, though based upon reliable
facts as to the appearance of grasshop
pers and their damages in certain quar
ters. It is always safe to take such
publications with much more than a
grain of salt, and the wary speculator
will watch his opportunity to take ad
vantage of the panic, however made,
and prepare for tho inevitable rebound.
The latest reports state that a seri
ous decline had taken place in grain
and meat, with the prospect of another
rise when the “bulls” have rallied.
Lamar. —Many of our readers will
read this morning with pleasure and
emotion, a brief contribution from El
der Jas. S. Lamar to a religious paper
called the Standard.
Complaints have been made to the Post
Office Department that a great many boxes
of grasshoppers are being sent through the
mails from the Western cities —Nashville
Union and American.
Perhaps the grasshoppers get iuto
the mail boxes in the same way that the
cockroaches get into our exchanges.
Dead. —The St. Louis Globe announces
the death of Sherman, because in his
recently published book, the great
commander has written : “ I don’t
desire my biography to be written till
1 am dead.”
A Cheap Palace.— The Palace of Le
utiANU ajookwood wuicu cost c>i.,zou,yuu,
and went a-begging at §IIO,OOO, has
been scooped up by a Railway Com
pany to satisfy a mortgage.
Morton. —The senior Senator from
Indiana, Mr. Morton, acknowledges
that he is a candidate for the Presi
dency. If the Republicans run him,
the Democracy should allow “old Bill”
Allen to “put him in his little bed.”
Teacher— A very accomplished lady
a member of a distinguished family of
Rome, Ga., writes us from Wilmington,
Del., that she is anxious to return to
her native South and becomo a teacher.
If any person desires a most compe
tent Governess or instructor, we should
be glad to be informed of that fact.
Ex-Gov. Jenkins.— The Rome Courier,
in an editorial eulogy of ex-Gov. Jen
kins—all of which the graad old man
mors than deserves—nominates him
for Governor. The only trouble about
the matter is this: Gov. Jenkins would
not accept a nomination, on any ac
count.
The words treason and rebellion have
nearly passed out of Northern mouths, and
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, in their
present glorification of a successful treason,
are suggesting to themselves that, after all,
perhaps, the supreme fault of tho South
was that It did not succeed.— St. Louis Re
publican.
Just so. That idea will gain strength
and currency as time rolls on.
Red Cloud.— One of the freshest news
paper jokes is that Red Cloud visited
Washington to learn the truth. We
dare say he will be as successful as the
fellows who visit the Black Hills in
search of gold.
The country will hear with keen satis
faction that Vice-President Wilson’s trip
South had no political significance. He
says he simply wanted to let folks down
there see what a man who neither chews,
smokes, swears, di inks whiskey nor goes
to chicken fights on Sunday looks like.
[Brooklyn Argus.
Perhaps the country would have been
better off if Mr. Wilson had not been
so uncommonly virtuous.
Spotted Tail. —The reporters at
Washington having stated that Spot
ted-Tail, the Indian Chief, had called
Secretary Delano a liar, the aforesaid
S. T. told Grant, at a public reception,
that ye ink-slingers were a mendacious
pack. While stating this ho glared at
the members of the press assembled
with most scalp-like eyes. The bald
headed men among the Bohemians were
courageous; but the hairy fellows
wilted under that glance, no doubt.
Reconstruction. —Alluding to Ben
Hill s speech the other day, in which
he said: “The South has abandoned
secession; let the North abandon recon
struction. We can all unite on that
platform; let the dead past bury the
dead and harmonize the whole country,"’
the Cincinnati Gazette dolorously re
sponds: “The entire abandonment of
reconstruction would undo all the legis
lation that has been carried into effect
since the close of the war, and it would
be hard to lind any half-way stopping
place.”
We know it is a hard thing to sur
render an old delusion; but think of
your pockets, man, think of your pock
ets !
Mortgaged.— The Chicago Inter- Ocean
publishes one hundred and forty pages
of delinquent tax payers. Nothing like
being in debt.
Allspice. The Baltimore Sun's
Washington correspondent states that,
according to responsible authority,
“ General Sherman got a large sum for
the copyright of his book, and with the
understanding that it was to abound in
spice and personality as the best means
of securing a heavy sale. Before he
hears the end of it the General will be
apt to conclude that ho has put rather
too much spice in it.”
Judge Porter gave Theodore Tilton
in Gon. Cheatham’s style in his
opening speech for the defendant. It was
scathing, bitter, unrelenting, powerful.—
Columbus Times.
Oh, yes ! But making Tilton out a
rascal does not prove Bekcher inno
cent. Wait till you hear from Beach
and Fullerton. A lawyer of eloquence
can riddle any fellow’s reputation by
opening his flood-gates, under the pro
tection of the Court. Tilton is a sad
scamp, but he was Beecher’s bosom
friend.
Mrs. Tilton. —According to Judge
Porter, Mrs. Tilton loathes, yet still
madly loves, Theodore, her husband.
The way a suffering angel can hate and
adore a man, at the same time, is one
of the mysteries of the female heart. We
expect to see Tilton and his spouse
kiss, make up, and go to Beecher’s
church, just as they used to in auld
lang syne.
A Reformer. —The son-in-law of Ben
Butler, so-called Governor of Missis
sippi, has become a “reformer,” like
others of his tribe. The Memphis Ava
lanche says he has entered into an ac
tive system of retrenchment by decli
ning to extend the aid of the State for
the arrest of murderers. As most of
the crimes in Mississippi are commit
ted by negroes, the Governor does not
desire, apparently, to decrease the Re
publican vote.
J efferson-Grant.— The wags are call
ing President Grant’s attention to the
following language of Jefferson :
I have the consolation, too, of having
added nothing to my private fortune dur
ing my public service, and retiring with
hands as clean as they are empty.
True Jeffersonian principles are as
unfashionable, in many quarters, out
side of the White House as well as in
side.
Scribner.— The well known Boston
magazine Old and New has been con
solidated with Scribner under the
latter title. By this union Scribner se
cures the pen of Edward Everett Hale,
the former editor of Old and New,
who will write a serial on an historic
theme for the next year. Mr. Hale
has gained a wide reputation through
his short stories, such as the “Man
Without a Country,” &e.
Ben Butler.— This good one is float
ing around uncredited :
The theor y that Mr. Benjamin F. Butler
isn l uuuug any interest any longer in Mas
sachusetts politics is a very comfortable
theory. A number of eminent Republicans
feel about it as the sailor did about the
Universallstsermon : “Blessed doctrine !-
give five dollars if it was true.”
Ben’s “true inwardness” is like that of
Jack in the Box—you can never know
when he will pop out.
FROM WAYNESBORO.
The Late Negro Fiasco—The Method
ist District Meeting—Bishop Pierce
—The Stonewall Rifles—Resolutions
of Thanks.
[Correspondence of the Constitutionalist.]
Waynesboro, May 27, 1875.
All quiet along the Mclntosh to-night.
Tho negro Joseph Morris, who claims
to be the “ Messengiuger” from the
powers that be at Washington, was not
tried to-day as was expected, and de
sired. His case was continued cn ac
count of the absence of two of the
State’s witnesses. It was an exceedingly
fortunate thing for the culprit, for had
his case been tried, I have no hesitation
in saying ho would have been convicted,
and Judge Gibson would have given
him the extent of the law. The jury in
the case of J. Morgan Jones, charged
with voluntary manslaughter, after re
maining out all night, brought in a ver
dict of not guilty. The criminal docket
being exhausted, and many prominent
members of the bar being still abseut
at the Supreme Court, Judge Gibson
adjourned the Court to meet on Thurs
day next, the 3d of June, at which ad
journed term there will be no jury cases
tried, being intended to give tho absent
lawyers and others, an opportunity for
motions and orders, etc.
The Methodist District Meeting con
venes here on Wednesday the 2d day of
June, instead of the 9th, as stated in
correspondence in yesterday’s issue.
Bishop Pierce is expected, and will
probably preach on Sunday, a. m. the
6th. Any of his admirers of your city
desirous of taking an excusable Sun
day ride, can take the 9 o’clock a. m.
train, which gets here in time for
preaching, and listen to a sermon from
this truly great man, and return home
on the two o’clock train, arriving at
Augusta almost, if not quite, in time for
a fashionable city dinner.
At a meeting of the Stonewall Rifles,
the enclosed resolutions were passed,
and requested to be published in your
paper, as they are all of the opinion
that your paper under the new regime
is the best in the State.
Our first concert was for the Brass
Band, which netted them S7O, that for
the Stonewall Rifles netted SSO, which

Whereas, It is becoming that some pub
lic acknowledgement should bo made by
our company to the ladies of Waynesboro
for the very pleasant entertainment given
for the beneiit, of the “Stonewall Rifles”
on Tuesday night lat: Be it
1. Resolved, That, as soldiers, we ajii,‘
proud of the approbation of the ladies al
ways, and beg leave to tender them, each
and all, our thanks for the timely aid and
encouragement which their willing hearts
and ready hands have afforded.
2. To Mrs. Jno. D. Munnerlyn, under
whose supervision the programme was ar
ranged, we cheerfully vote our specmt
thanks; and our belief is, that in appropri
ateness of design and execution the concert
could not have been excelled.
3. That no small share of the success
and pleasure of the entertainment Is due
to Miss Annie Mays, who, though only a
visitor to our town has left behind her the
unfading remembrance of her kindness
and exertion in our behalf.
4. That the editor of the Augusta Con

these resolutions.
