THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
THURSDAY, June 24, 1875.
The Era of flood Feeling—ls it Genu
ine or Buncombe?
Between the Pig Centennial and the
sarcasms directed at General Toombs
for having been reported falsely on the
subject of calling the roll of his slaves
under the shadow of Bunker Hill; be
tween Beast Butler, Burnside and the
Brooklyn Eagle—we sometimes wonder
if the Centennial business is merely
theatrical show and oratorical bounce
or a spontaneous and generous out
burst of popular fraternity. As we
have already pointed out what we con
ceived to be some of the “mistakes” of
the occasion, it is with pleasure we re
fer to an utterance of Mayor Cobb, of
Boston, when welcoming Southern dig
nitaries and other visitors to the “Hub.”
The sentiment of Mayor Cobb referred
to, and which has a sound of sincerity,
when addressing the Southerners, was
as follows :
Yon may have desired the issue of the
war to have been other than it is, and may
have felt, for a time, that all was lost save
honor. I respect your conviction, but I
believe you are wise enough and magnani
mous enough to acquiesce loyally now, and
in the end cheerfully, in the arbitrament of
the God of Battles, assured, as you must
be, that the overruling Providence is wiser
than our wishes, and knows how to bestow
richer benefits than those it withholds; as
sured, too, that whatever was right and
good in the Lost Caus-’ you loved is not
finally lost, and that whatever was false or
wrong in the winning cause cannot perma
nently triumph. The Almighty reigns and
shapes results more beneficently and more
righteously than man can.
This is fair and honorable, and
touches the true issue just as Secretary
Bristow did at Cave Spring, Ky. But
Burnside spoke the real determination
of a large class of Northern men when
he virtually asserted he would always
claim that the South was righteously
and deservedly whipped and recon
structed. When we of the South are
approached in the manner of Mayor
Cobb we can respond heartily. But
when Burnside & Cos. try to make us
confess ourselves traitors and dogs;
when they present themselves before us
as Sheriff’s officers and ask us to come
to them with a rope around our necks ;
and when the North i3 to be everlast
ingly held up as reluctantly forgiving
that monstrous criminal, the South, de
manding that she shall acknowledge
her iniquity and praise the mag
nanimity of Butler, Grant, Sumner
ei lu oinne genus— then the Centen
nial business takes a hideous as
pect and we are inclined to consign it
to perdition. But we are willing to be
lieve, until forced from our credulity,
that Mayor Cobb and Secretary Bris
tow represent the enlightened people
of the North. If they are not sincere,
but simply diplomatic, our compensa
tion and justification will come all the
same. Senator Jones, of Nevada, has
indicated how the men who bear such
haughty crests are really situated. He
says : “There never was such a state
“of depression in the East as now. Busi
“Dess is at a standstill. Nearly all the
“railroads in the East are in a wretched
“financial condition. Inflation has eol
“lapsed and Protection has teased to
“protect. Pennsylvania is so well pro
jected that every workman has got a
“gun on his back and a torch in his
‘ hand, and the manufactories of the
“East are so well protected that their
“spindles lie idle and their workmen
“are out of employ. Inflation has
“raised the price of everything the
“farmer uses in producing, while the
“value of his products are not raised.
“There is nothing in the East to attract
“us.”
The “results”of Abolition, invasion,
negro enfranchisement and Reconstruc
tion generally could not be more pithi
ly expressed. The East may ask for
giveness of the South some day, and,
even now, there is many a poor wretch,
once happy and prosperous, who bit
terly regrets that Gen. Toombs did not
call the roll of his black chattels on
Bunker Hill. The number of such men
will increase as the years roll on.
New York Stocks.— Fire and gas
stocks are the fancy securities in New
York. The Cincinnati Gazette corres
pondent says : “Long Island is quoted
at 181, New York is 178, while the
Equitable sells readily at 213. The
Peter Cooper is 220, while the Eagle
reaches 252. These companies have
accumulated heavy resources, and
make dividends from 15 to 20 per cent,
annually. The profit of some of the
gas companies is shown by the sale of
stock at 280. The monopoly in this
important article is oppression, and
would have been still more severely
felt had not the low price of kerosene
oil introduced a powerful competitor.
One of the largest holders of gas stock
is Moses Taylor, who seldom dabbles
in anything that does not pay. Fire
and gnti stocks are never offerod at the
regular stock board, and are generally
sold at auction.”
It is an after-thought, but why didn’t
someone invite Mr. Toombs to fulfill his
promise, and “ call the roll of his slaves ”
at Bunker Hill on the 17th?— Philadelphia
Times.
It is an after-thought, but why did
not someone invite Beast Butler to
call the roll of the white slaves in the
North who are starving and fighting
because Bob Toombs did not have an
opportunity to do as the Times de
sires? Put that in your pipe and
smoke it.
Very Handy. —The story of the mys
terious hand that was found a few
months ago, growing out of a grave
near Jackson, West Tennessee, is still
going the rounds distorted as follows:
“Jackson, Miss., is just now excited
about a mysterious hand. Five aces,
probably.”— Nashville Union and Amer
ican.
Watch Dogs. —The New York Herald
cleverly shows how a man in office may
survive his usefulness. It says :
One reason why Green is so unpopular
as the watch dog of the Treasury is that
no watch dog, no matter how valuable, is
of any use after he has hydrophobia.
That’s a true bill. When confidence
is gone ali is gone, and “ stepping down
and out ” is the only remedy.
Moral Insanity—Peculiar Effects of
Laughing Gas.
Some time ago, one Isaac C. West
created a sensation by flaying a dead
negro. It is true that the Chevalier
Forney used to exhibit, for popular ef
fect, by way of savage editorial writ
ing, the “skinned nigger.” It is Also
true that the cadavers of many Ethiops,
as well as white men, are dismembered
and made mince-meat of by medical
students and demonstrators of anato
my. It is likewise a pronounced fact
that very little public concern is mani
fested for ordinary exhibitions of this
peculiar process. But when Mr. Isaac
C. West accomplished a common thing
in a most uncommon manner, he ex
cited as much of a hurly-burly as did
Alcibiades when he bob-tailed his
favorite bull-pup. And now, when the
wind is westerly, knowing a hawk from
a hernshaw, this extraordinary peeler
of the Senegambian cuticle produces
his “true story” of that celebrated per
formance and how he came to his pres
ent immortality.
It seems, from records in the public
prints, that Mr. West could not sleep
at night, and, either oblivious of the
raw onion remedy or else defying it,
preferred the use of a “patent gas.”
Finding the intoxication produced by
this gas very pleasant, he kept up one
unbroken “drunk” for several weeks,
and gradually lost all hold upon his
will and memory as a sober and re
sponsible member of the human fam
ily. He does not deny that, under this
subtile spell, he stripped the integ
ument from a defunct “man and
brother;” but he does avow that, if he
did so, he has no recollection of that
fact. He calis upon the medical fra
ternity to examine his case and report
upon it; but the better plan would be
to put him in jail or an insane asylum
and let the chemists and doctors try
their arts upon him—and then hand
him a big bill.
The strange gas which caused the
river of Lethe so to flow through Mr.
West’s mind is derived from “forty
parts of nitrate of ammonia and one
of subcarbonate of iron”—in other
words nitrous oxide or “laughing”
gas. Anybody disposed to rob a bank,
pillage a church, commit debauchery
or violate the eighteenth section, has
only to get drunk on this prescription.
The plea of utter forgetfulness would
be a telling one before the average
jury ; and what precedent is there, in
any Jaw book, equal in force and au
thority to that of a distinguished man
who, under such potent influences,
skinned a negro and did not know it!
Verse and Worse. —Hon. J. A. Stew
art, whose noar is said to be as ex
cellent as his “poetry” is execrable,
has done into verse—or worse—ex-
Governor Jenkins’ masterly prose cor
respondence, in which he gives his
reasons for declining to re-enter public
life. All great men are subject to
these random shots, which are made
with the best intentions. Burns,
against his positive dying request, had
the “awkward squad” to fire over his
grave. Many worthies, with years of
life before them, nave to suDmu to
ragged volleys of verse—or worse —
which make up in sympathy what they
lose in precision and high art.
Cotton Futures. —The Nashville
Union and American says : “We see
it stated that the business transacted
by New York speculators in futures*
since September Ist, 1874, aggregates
6,537,150 bales, against 3,409,705 bales,
as the total receipts at the ports for
the same time. This fact alone shows
the character of the gambling done in
the great staple, a feature more mis
chievous to commercial interests than
any other that can be named, since it
gives a false idea of the market, and
compels a surging in prices that cannot
but be attended with loss to all who
have to buy the staple for manufac
turing purposes.”
Calomel and Jalap.— Some of the
Richmond physicians have been squab
bling at a great rate, even to the fight
ing point. Some wag in Richmond
gives what he calls
a patient’s advice to the angry doc
tors.
When doctors’ angry passions rise,
And blows harsh words have followed;
Well may their patients show surprise,
Whose pills they all have swallowed.
We beg you pause ere blood you shed,
Or harm each other’s gullet;
Take each the other’s drugs, instead—
No need for pistol bullet.
That would settle the difficulty and
the doctors, too. we fear.
The Ohio “Blunder.”— The New York
papers, notably the Tribune, Herald
and World, are pouring hot shot into
the Ohio Democracy for the “green
back inflation” plank in their platform.
The first named journal admits that
it is the best card for winning the elec
tion, but maintains that it is a blun
der all the same. Let the New
York politicians fix their own trig
gers for their own State canvass,
yielding the same privilege to
Ohio brethren. If the New York
Democracy think diamonds the best
circulating medium, especially for the
poor majority, let them fix on dia
monds. But if the Ohioans want more
greenbacks and can win by expressing
that sentiment, hands off, and let them
fight it out to suit themselves ! Per
haps the World would like to see Bill
Allen defeated and the “tidal wave”
turned back, just to please Belmont
and the Eastern money-ring. The
country at large is of a different opin
ion, and the World may as well desic
cate—i. e., “ dry up.”
The Augusta Constitutionalist says
the Democracy of Ohio, “twelve years ago,
consisted of twenty-four members and a
bottle of whiskey, but which to day can
carry the State by seventy thousand ma
jority. Grand were its principles then and
grand are its principles to-day.” Does our
confrere refer to the “twenty-four mem
bers” or the “bottle of whiskey” in the first
clause of the verse quoted I—Rome Courier.
We refer to both, because this is a
day when men win the fight who re
turn to “first principles,” and take them
“straight.”
Lo, the poor Indian, gets very high
frequently.
THE REVIVAL QUESTION.
The Archbishop of Canterbury on Mr.
Moody’s Missionary Movement.
My Dear Lord : Very soon after the
conversation we had last week on the
missionary movement which Mr. Moody
is conducting in London, I found an
opportunity of consulting most of my
Episcopal brethren on the sub ject. I
would not be understood as speaking
in their name; but my own view is
very much strengthened by what I
heard from them.
It is impossible for me, in the posi
tion which I occupy in the National
Church, not to take the deepest interest
in a movement which, seeking the spir
itual welfare of our people, has been
so wonderfully successfully in drawing
together great masses to hear simple
addresses on the great Gospel doc
trines.
I have communicated with parochial
clergymen of various opinions on the
subject, and I am sure the movement
is regarded by all of us with deep in
terest, and we pray that it may bring a
blessing to many souls. Many of our
parochial clergy, as you are aware, have
been present at the meetings in ques
tion, and those who have stood aloof
have done so, not from any want of in
terest, but because they have felt that,
greatly as they rejoiced that simple
Gospel truths were urged on their peo
ple’s consciences, there were circum
stances attending the movement to
which they could not consistently give
their approval.
The missionaries have been at work
in different parts of the country for
many months, and for several weeks in
the metropolis; and their system is now
generally understood. If there is a
difficulty in the clergy generally giving
any official sanction to the details of
the work, you will at once see that in
the case of the Bishops, there are
greater difficulties in the way of any
direct sanction which, coming from
them, could not be regarded as other
than official and authoritative ; and I
confess that the objections I originally
felt still remain in full force, now that
we have had time to examine and learn
from various quarters the exact nature
of the movement.
That addresses urging, in whatever
homely language, the great truths of
the Gospel on our people’s consciences
should be delivered by laymen, is no
innovation amongst us ; and I heartily
rejoice that the present movement is
conducted on so great a scale and with
such apparent success.
It is chiefly from the “after-meet
ings” for confession of sin and for
guidance of the conscience, as they
have been described to me, that I am
apprehensive lest evil may arise. I
cannot think that the delicate and dif
ficult duty of thus ministering to anx
ious souls ought to be entrusted to any
who have neither been set apart by the
church for this especial office, nor have
given proof of such a spiritual insight
as may in certain cases be held to take
the place, in this particular, of the reg
ular call to the cure of souls. I cannot
but fear, from what I have heard, that
the counsel given at these meetings
must often be crude and founded upon
HO knowledge of the real circumstances
and state of mind Cf those to whom it
is addressed; while there is uaugm
also lest some self-constituted advisers
of others may do harm to themselves,
seeking to be leaders, when in truth
they have much need to be led.
#1 learn, also, that in the organiza
tion for addressing God publicly in
prayer a great deal too much is trusted
to the readiness of any one who may
be present to accept without due pre
paration the grave responsibility of
guiding the devotions of the multitude
assembled.
These objections are quite indepen
dent of Others, which I have heard
urged upon good authority, against
particular statements as to doctrine
said to be made without sufficient
guard or explanation. lam not allud
ing so much to any depreciation of the
ordinances which Christ has estab
lished for the edification of his Church,
but rather to the allegations that in
the discourses of the missionaries there
are unwise and untrue representations
of the almost universal necessity of in
stantaneous conversion and an igno
ring of the full scriptural teaching as
to the nature of repentance.
I cannot but trust that, if these al
legations be true, friendly remonstran
ces may induce those who direct such
missionary efforts hereafter to avoid
these obstacles to their real spiritual
success.
It has been said also, probably with
truth, that the great majority of those
who have frequented these services
hitherto have been ordinary worship
pers in churches and chapels, and that
comparatively few from the neglected
masses of society have been reached.
No doubt there is among the respecta
ble classes much selfish and self-sat
isfied indifference, out of which it is
well that the preacher’s voice should
startle them. But I confess I rejoice
to hear that the missionaries have now
moved to that part of London which is
especially inhabited by the neglected
poor, and I trust that it will be found
that their congregations have been ga
thered from such as have been hitherto
strangers to the sound of the Gospel.
I am aware that many of the most
quietly religious people amongst us re
gard not unnaturally with alarm these
irregular efforts ; such persons have
scarcely been able to approve even the
Home Missions, which have of late
years been conducted by our own
clergy, in a way to which our fathers
were not accustomed. But looking to
the vastness of the field that lies before
us, and the overwhelming difficulty of
contending with tho mass of positive
sin and careless indifference which re
sists on all sides the progress of the
Gospel, I for my part rejoice that,
whether regularly or irregularly,
whether according to the Divine,
Scriptural, and perfect way, or imper
fectly. with certain admixtures of hu
man error, Christ is preached and sleep
ing consciences fire aroused.
Iu the Old Testament lesson for yes
terday evening (Numbers xi.) our
church has brought before us, how the
great Prophet of the old covenant,
when he heard that others beside those
whom he had regularly commissioned
were addressing the people in the
Lord’s name, exclaimed “Enviest thou
for my sake?” Would God that all
the Lord’s people were prophets, and
that the “Lord would put His spirit
upon them.” This is the very lesson
which the Lord Jesus Himself taught,
when (Luke lx. 50) He told St. John not
to forbid one who was casting out
devils in His name, though he followed
not with the regularly appointed com
pany of the Apostles, saying, “He
that is not against us is for
us.” It is, according to my judgment
in this spirit that we ministers of the
Church of England are right to regard,
this missionary woik. It is our part
to trust and fervently to pray that God
may guide all who speak in His name,
that many hitherto careless or directly
opposing may have their hearts open -
ed to the influence of the Gospel of
Christ, and their lives regulated by His
law ; and I feel confident that our pa
rochial clergy will not fail anxiously to
assist all of their people who seem to
be awakened by this preaching to a
consciousness of sin, endeavoring to
deepen all salutary impressions, and
so to guide the course of each one’s
spiritual life that these impressions
may not be passing.
Believe me to be, my dear Lord,
yours faithfully, A. C. Cantuae.
