THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
THURSDAY, Jane 3, 18fff.
A Prostrate State—Reconstruction in
Louisiana.
Mr. Charles Nordhoff keeps up a
running lire on Louisiana abominations.
His last letter considers Marshal Pack
ard as the architect of ruin, backed by
bayonets and Radical legislation. In
our news columns will be found a pen
picture of this unscrupulous rascal,
drawn at full length by a master hand.
Bold, crafty, dominant and unprinci
pled, he stands out as one of the worst
characters produced, and mado puis
sant by Congressional monstrosities
and their rigorous execution.
Mr. Nordhoff explains, by presenta
tions of fact, how flagrantly the ballot
has been prostituted in Louisiana, and
what a dreadful caricature negro suf
frage has become of so-called “ free in
stitutions and a true Republican form
of government.’* By spurious registra
tion, wicked managers and Warmoth
craft, the negroes have had op
portunities of voting with impunity
just as early and as often as they
pleased—and their pleasure, in this re
spect, was multitudinous. The Return
ing Board— Warmoth’s Anal trick—
made up absolutely and arbitrarily
for any deficiencies at the voting
booths, and thia gigantic fraud upon
civilization, property and intelligence
has, up to a recent period, been a plu
perfect success, and is even now a par
tial terror to the whites. All Georgians
who went through the mill of “sharp
and quick” Hulbert, can understand,
to some extent, what a Louisiana Re
turning Board was instituted for.
Next to Packard, the vilest marplot
in Louisiana is the quadroon Pinch
back. He has very little negro blood in
him and possesses all of the vices of
the Caucasians and much of their in
telligence. The blacks—of whom he
speaks as “our race,” as if he had any
race at all—worship him as a species
of divinity, believe his smartness
really proceeds from an Ethiopian taint
and many are prepared to follow him
in his color-line crusade. Ono of the
principal hopes of Louisiana is in the
hatred borne this quadroon by his
Puritan brethren. This may cause
divisions, heart-burnings, bickerings
and chaos in the Radical organization.
Gov. Kellogg’s morbid desire to be
Senator warps him in the attempt to
reform the State, not les3 than the
utter lack of respect or confidence
manifested by all Conservatives. Mr.
Nordhoff gives the following illustra
tion of his weakness and cowardice :
Only the other day I was told that the
fctate Superintendent of Public Instruction
(a colored man) had appointed two notori
ously corrupt men to be President and
1 reasurer of the School Board of a parish.
I asked the Governor how he came to per
mit such a wickedness. He replied: “The
colored Senator demanded it. Brown, the
{Superintendent, weakly gave in to him. I
am sorry—but what am I to do?” Ono
listens with contempt to such an excuse,
which no man would make who really com
manded his administration.
We are rather amused, however, at
M r. Nordhoff’s attributing to Kellogg’s
imbecility what is really the logic of his
situation as a believer in race-unity
and a faithful exponent of atrocious
Congressional law's. The laws which
made mulattoes and negroes a political
power in Louisiana make Kellogg a
tool and a knave.
Mr. Nordhoff wisely thinks, how
ever, that non-intervention on the part
of the United States Government would
go very far toward the redemption of
Louisiana. A healthy state of af
fairs iji that commonwealth can
only be brought about by a virtual
ignoring of the Reconstruction pro
gramme; and if Grant would only
wink at such a procedure, instead of
performing what he conceives to be a
duty, as the overwhelming majority of
the masses of the Union are willing he
should, the matter would be brought
to something like a conclusion as it has
been elsewhere. Mr. Nordhoff, with
his Republican bias, still clings to the
hope that, even under the Reconstruc
tion Acts, Louisiana may be made
prosperous and happy. We cannot
upbraid him for so supposing, inas
much as it is perhaps the solitary de
lusion he now retains—the last in
firmity of a noble mind. But,* to our
thinking, the sole remedy is an ex
cision of the cancer itself that eats away
the life of a great State, and not the
temporary check of an insidious dis
order.
Tainted Meat—A Word of Caution.
The New York Times is sounding an
alarum upon the meat question. Warm
weather and butcher’s meat do not
agree very well together unless ico be
plentiful and great care exercised. It
is asserted that no harm comes to the
stomach of epicures by eating birds
“past conscript age;” but wo are
of opinion that the gourmet, who
takes his woodcock when fragrant with
the odor of decay, is the last man to
buy beef or mutton when the least sus
picious. A case is cited where, in a
certain hospital, several endemic out
breaks of fever, prostration, diarrhea
and vomiting were traced directly
to beef tea made from somewhat
decomposed meat, which, it is to be ob
served, was not of disagreeable taste or
odoi. It is safe to say that weak stom
achs are jeopardized by unsound animal
food, and that strong digestions are
not improved thereby. The Times
states that, as to the signs of disease
in meat, Dr. Charles Folsom, Secreta
ry of the Massachusetts Board of
Health, points out that “ diseased meat
may be known often by its being of a
light pink color, and by its losing very
greatly—more than one-quarter—in
cooking. In decaying meat, the odor is
a test only*n the latter stages. In the
earlier, if seen before cooking, it is
slippery in appearance, soft to the
touch, and somewhat pale in hue. The
color of sound beef and mutton is a
clear, healthy red ; if noticeably dark
or light, it may be justly suspected.
There is another unnatural condition
of meat, which is often represented by
butchers and accepted by buyers as an
evidence of its excellence. ‘ Marbled ’
beef is highly prized by epicures; but
when this fat-marbling extends through
the fine fibres of the meat, it is not un
frequently only the result of ‘fatty
degeneration ’ of the muscle, and is an
evidence of disease in the animal. This
kind of meat looks fresh and is very
tender. If cooked, except by being
slowly carried through a hot kitchen,
it is very much consumed by the pro
cess, and it is therefore unprofitable as
well as unhealthy.”
We believe that our Southern cities
are relatively free from any danger of
this description, as the butchers regu
late their supply vory exactly, and have
little or no surplus on hand in the Sum
mer. Advocates of a vegetable diet
think meat should be altogether aban
doned in the hot season. We disagree
with them, and so long as moderation
is observed by the eater, and the
butcher offers for sale a wholesome ar
ticle, we shall stick to the flesh-pots of
the market house and consume animal
food, when we can get it, be the weather
warm or hot. It will not be amiss, how
ever, for all persons to use care in se
lecting the article which is to go upon
their tables and into their physical
economy.
Dear Stock. —Mr. Alexander, of
Kentucky, has sold two of his valuable
short-horns to Mr. Fox, of England—
the 24th Duke of Andre and the 20th
Duchess of Andre—at $30,000 for the
two. It does look like a foolish waste
of money, but we dare say Mr. Fox
knew what he was about. If the Duke
and Duchess do not die, fellows who
have a craze on the subject of blooded
stock and a pocket full of cash will be
found in plenty to pay fancy prices for
distinguished calves.
LETTER fTmhT ATLANTA.
Was Dr. Hicks a Democrat ?—The
Question Settled Beyond a Doubt—
The Negro Murderers—The West
Point Colored Cadet, Etc.
[From Our Regular Correspondent.]
Atlanta, Ga., June Ist, 1875.
The Macon Telegr-aph and Messenger
has received a private letter from the
editors of the Jacksonville (Fla.) Press
asserting that Dr. W. W. Hicks, for
merly of Georgia, affirms that “he
never was a Democrat, nor was he ever
en rapport with that body. The Press
asks for some of the issues of the
Macon Daily Enterprise which may
fetch forth something to point a moral
or adorn a tale.
Now, as this problem has been swing
ing around the circle of Georgia
papers some time, until it has assum
ed the proportions of a vexed ques
tion, and a little light—even from
a dark lantern—might do no harm, I
have busied myself somewhat in the
matter in order that the politico-reli
gious doctor could be put on a good
footing with his assailants. He has
been assailed—some even going so
far as to charge the reverend Doctor
with hilarious intoxication. This is
fearful. Has it come to that pass that
a minister can’t get on a glorious old
drunk but he is trumped up up on a
high old eharge of “drunk and disor
derly.” Where is the boasted freedom
of this glorious Hail Columbia? But to
the doctor.
In looking around for some good
avenue into which I could thrust my
news-hunting nose and gather a few
items concerning the Doctor, I be
thought mo of Colonel Bridges Smith,
of this city, as I knew Mr. Smith was
associated with Dr. Hicks in the edi
torial conduct of the late unfortunate
Macon Enterprise, and was perhaps the
only person who could throw light on
the matter. After the usual interview
ing preliminaries, Mr. Smith said :
“ I never thought that the Doctor
was a genuine Democrat, and although
his advocacy of the principles of that
party was clothed in the most honest
and sincere terms, it seemed to have
sprung from policy more than from the
honest dictates of his heart. I think
he tells the truth when he says he
never was a Democrat. I know that
he was in harmony with the leading
Republicans of Macon, and have known
him to go to see Jeff Long at his house
on some leading subject. His editorials
were very strong, and he generally
sprinkled enough pepper over them to
give either party particular fits. Many
of the editorials that appeared in the
Enterprise during his sojourn in the
chair were attributed to him, but were
not written by him, although they
smacked strongly of Hicks. My file is
at your disposal and you are at liberty
to make such extracts from it as will
suitfyour purpose.”
Finding that Mr. Smith was not
anxious to be brought into the discus
sion, I dropped him and went for his
file. The first editorial my eyes struck
was “Tinkers Tinkered,” in issue of
September 17th, 1872, and in that edi
torial I find the following paragraph:
Take a friend’s advice—who is no mum
my, either, but a Democrat bred in the
bone—imitate tho example of the ancient
god, Pan—the original “What is it?”—sit
still and toot upon your penny whistles,
yea, beside the flowing stream or your
country’s crocodilical tears over your na
tural precocity.” etc.
Now it seems to me that the Doctor
must have forgotten all about this little
paragraph. These little trifles do es
cape us sometimes. But the following
excerpt may refresh his treacherous
memory. It is in issue September 25,
1872, in editorial headed “An Unjust
Aspersion
But if such articles are put forth by a
Democratic press, we feel it our duty, as
honest Democrats, to oppose them with
wiser counsel.
As I could rain down these little par
agraphs until Christmas, the Doctor
had better hoist his umbrella of sur
render and cry peccavi! But in order
that the two loregoing “nails” in his
political coffin may be well clinched, I
throw in one more excerpt, taken from
the issue of September 28, 1872, in an
editorial headed, “The Candor and Good
Faith of the Journalist Should bo Ab
solute:”
Our political position is well known to all
who take the trouble to read the Enter
prise, and our early, vigorous and unceasing
advocacy of Democratic principles, measures
and men, should save us from the ungener
ous aspersions of even casual critics.
The italics are mine. If this doesn’t
settle his hash, then Joe’s a Dutch
man ! The Florida Democratic press
can now rise in their might and “give
tho old man a chance ” to defy some
thing else. We admire the Doctor’s
pluck. Even though he is an acknow
ledged Judas, we cannot refuse him
that meed of praise that belongs to the
plucky. For really it requires pluck,
and its hybrid twin sister, “ cheek,” to
publicly assert that he never was a De
mocrat or affiliated with that party,
when the record proves that he was
for the nonce one of its strongest ad
vocates. This chameleon-like faith and
creed sooner or later finds its bottom,
and often in a hotter locality than Flor
ida. No one could have listened to his
eulogy of God. Lee without a patriotic
thrill bounding through every fibre, or
dropping a silent tear as the eloquent
man paid his beautiful but perhaps un
meant tribute to the dead chieftain’s
virtues. It is hard to face the fact
that the man who extolled in the most
precious words of our language the
deeds of the Confederate General only
a few years ago, should now be the
ringleader of the Radical element in
poor old Florida. But it is even so.
We .have told the tale truthfully ; now
“ let the galled jade wince.”
The Murderers.
John Purifoy and Jake Stafford, who
were tried and convicted of the murder
of Mr. John Casey, are sentenced to be
hanged next Friday. The counsel for
Stafford have procured anew trial
which will come up for a hearing de
novo to-day. The new trial is grauted
on the claim of the counsel that the
indictment was too indefinite, and oth
er technical discrepancies whereby the
ends of justice can be thwarted and
criminals go scot free. Tho counsel
have been quite busy trying to get
men who would swear that they would
not believe Patent Ridglee on oath.
Patent is a printer, and was convicted a
short time ago of stealing a lot of Ca
nary birds, but was pardoned by the
Governor. He was one of the main wit
nesses in the case, having heard a con
fession from Stafford whilst in jail.
The Colored Cadet.
The only colored cadet at West
Point is Flipper, of this city. Flipper’s
pater hangs out his shingle here as an
“ anatomical and pedological boot man
ufacturer,” and is a quiet sort of a col
ored gemman. He thinks his son a
marvel, and that he will graduate un
der cover of well-won honors.

SALE OF THE MACON AND BRUNS
WICK RAILROAD.
The Btate the Purchaser at One Mil
lion Dollars.
[Macon (June 22d) Tel. and Messenger.]
Pursuant to Executive order, and in
compliance with an act of the last ses
sion of the General Assembly, the Ma
con and Brunswick Railroad, together
with all its rolling stock, fixtures, ma
chinery, real estate and other interests,
was put up at public outcry, to be sold
to the highest bidder. The sale was
the most important one ever made in
this city; but apart from the pecuniary
consideration involved directly in the
transaction, there were other considera
tions which awakened the deepest in
terest in the minds of the people of
Macon. They felt much concern for
the fate of the road, and were solicitous
that it should not fall into hands that
might direct its management to the dis
advantage of the people most likely to
be affected thereby.
A few minutes before 11 o’clock a
train of three passenger coaches left
tho passenger depot, crowded with pas
sengers, and ran out to the Macon and
Brunswick office, where the sale took
place. On the train were Governor
Smith, Attorney General Hammond,
Col. P. W. Alexander, Dr. Bozeman,
Senator Kibbee, Col. Wadley, and a
number of other distingushed gentle
men from abroad, some of whom were
here to watch their interests in the im
portant transaction which was about
to take place.
The sale took place from the platform
of the depot, Mr. Matt R. Freeman act
ing as auctioneer. Before the pro
perty was offered, Colonel Hammond
read the act authorizing the State’s in
dorsement of the bonds ; also, the pro
clamation of the Governor seizing the
road for refusal to pay interest upon
its bonds, also, the act authorizing the
sale, the order for the sale, and the ad
vertisement of the property. He stated
that there were certain bonds of the
road in process of foreclosure in the
Federal Court at Savannah for the pay
ment of which the State held itself res
ponsible. Tne debts due the road the
State retained to meet some debts due
by the road. The sale was to bo for
cash in United States currency, bonds
of the State of Georgia of any issue, or
bonds of the Macon and Brunswick
Road. The bonds, if payment should
be tendered therein., either State or
railroad, would be taken at the prices
quoted at the New York Stock Ex
change yesterday.
The road, with its entire equipment,
including real estate and some South
ern and Atlantic Telegraph stock, was
then put up and bids invited. The
first bid was handed in in writing, and
was substantially as follows : It offer
ed $900,000 for the property as offered,
in United States currency, to be paid
SIOO,OOO cash, SIOO,OOO on the Ist of
July and SIOO,OOO annually on the Ist
of July until the whole amount was
paid, the deferred payments drawing 7
per cent, interest.
This bid was not within the terms of
the sale as advertised, therefore to
avoid a consideration of it, which
might lead to unpleasant complications,
the Governor authorized a bid of sl,-
000,000.
This was the last bid. Little caucuses
wore held all about, inside and outside
the depot, and half a dozen parties
were in .consultation frequently close
and long, which looked to a spectator
as if any number of bids wore being
prepared. Matters remained in this po
sition wiien it was announced that the
sale would not be dosed immediately,
but would be open for bids until four
o’clock, if necessary, whereupon the
crowd dispersed. But no other bids
were offered and the road was knocked
down to the State, at one million
dollars.
The course that the Governor will
nor 1 ’ pursue in the matter, is authori
tatively set forth In an article on the
editorial page of this paper.
[Macon Telegraph & Messenger Editorial.)
The air was thick last night with ru
mors respecting this transaction. Some
did not hesitate to affirm that the Gov
ernor, through the Attorney Genera],
had bid in tho road in the interest of
the Central Road, who would pay for it
in Central Railroad bonds at 92 per
cent., with which the bonds of thecom
pany valued at 85 cents, would be can
celled. Others declare that it had been
arranged that as soon as the Central
Railroad got possession, the iron be
youd Hawkinsvllle would be taken up,
and hereafter the road be made to step
at that point.
Much indignation was expressed in
the premises, and no little concern
manifested to ascertain the true state
of affairs. An interview with Governor
Smith enables us to make the following
authoritative statement:
The Governor purchased the road for
the State to prevent its being sacrificed
on the block. He is confident that il.
can be readily disposed of for one mil
lion dollars in the guaranteed bonds of
the company, at private sale.
All the rumors concerning his collu
sion with the Central Railroad he pro
nounces to be unequivocally false.
That company made no propositions
to him, and had never even indicated
any intention to bid for the property.
So far from consenting to the dismem
berment of the road, he would resist all
such attempts from every source.
Under the law, it now becomes his
duty again to effect a sale, if possible,
through the agency of three commis
sioners. These he w ..fid proceed to
appoint at once, nud < ndeavor to se
lect them from tli : wisest and most
upright citizens in the State.
At the same time, he would exert-his
prerogative to cheek and control their
action in every particular, if not in con
sonance with the interests of the Com
monwealth.
In the interim the State will continue
its direction and management of the
road as at present.
It may not be amiss to say that the
Central Railroad could not purchase
the road without a special act of the
General Assembly, though it might,
through other parties obtain virtual
control of it. More of this anon.
