THS CONSTITUTIONALIST
THURSDAY, Jul v U, 1875.
Whigs and Democrats—How the South
is Expected to Divide.
Mr. Charles Nordhoff wrote his
last letter to the New York Herald
from Montgomery, Alabama. This in
genious gentleman, being a Republi
can, naturally seeks to discover how
the opposition phalanx in this section
can be disintegrated and driven to the
wall. He has assort of Kebly motor
theory, and it is founded upon the
supposed hostility of the Whig ele
ment to the Democracy. He goes so
far as to assert that, when Federal op
pression shall cease, the old Whigs—
presumably there are no young ones—
will rally again and, with the colored
vote, and, we suppose, Republican prin
ciples, vanquish Democracy and drive
it from power. The recent escapade at
Memphis of Forrest and Pillow
may countenance this odd idea ; but,
for our part, we believe that Mr. Nord
hoff has become a Columbus in the dis
covery of a gigantic mare’s nest. To
the Democratic party the South owes>
her partial deliverance from an accurs
ed despotism, and if the Whigs should,
in any considerable number, attempt
to hew down that glorious organiza
tion, by aid of a negro political amal
gamation, they would display a folly
we do not credit them with harboring.
The Democratic party can not be
broken up and destroyed by any such
treachery, and it may be declared with
something like positiveness that no re
spectable number of old Whigs dream
such hideous dreams.
Mr. Nordhoff, in his exposition of
the negro as a voting machine, com
pletely demolishes Fred Douglass’
theory of independence. Republicans
know full well that the negro vote has
been, up to a certain period, controlled
by United States officials, New England
emissaries and TwEED-like hummers.
The minute the Southern people dis
organized the white ringleaders, the
black mass fell to pieces and became
distracted. Mr. Nordhoff shows how
the poor dupes were managed, thus :
In Alabama, for instance, in 1874, the Re
publican State Executive Commlttte nomi
nated the Deputy United States Marshals
for the whole State. Many of these persons
were candidates for the Legislature or for
local offices; many candidates were also
United States supervisors of election.—
They appealed to the negro clothed in the
majesty of Federal office; they spoke in the
name of General Grant; a Deputy Marshal
could summon troops and could summarily
anest white men. He was a very great
man to a negro. Indeed, a Deputy United
States Marshal is a very great man to a
Southern white man; for he has really ex
traordinary powers; and in the South no
body nowadays thinks for a moment of re
sisting “the Government.” “We may fight
among ourselves,” said a Mississippian to
me; ‘but if the whole of my town were
engaged in a riot, to produce peace you
need not even bring in a squad of Federal
troops. You need only stuff the clothes of
a Federal sergeant with straw, and br ng
that effigy into the market place, and in
five minutes you would have absolute
quiet.” And he did not exaggerate.
How such upeople can hope to breed
“great men” or be “independent,” we
arc at a loss to imagine, If Fred
Douglass had been a pure black or free
from race-unity falsehoods, he would
never have made such an appeal as he
did the other day at Hillsdale. It is a
great truth that uegroes will always be
controlled by white men, good or bad,
and it should be the duty of the South,
as far as possible, to suppress the black
vote and not to use it. Bad men will
essay to employ this vote, unneces
sarily and for selfish purposes, but it
can not be tampered with safely.
The prime effort of Mr. Nordhoff,
while not excusing Radical misgovern
ment any more than be can help, is to
devise some plan to exterminate De
mocracy and, if possible, perform the
miracle of making Republicanism re
spectable, by a curious mixture of
Whigs, poor whites, so-called, and ne
groes. When the Herald correspond
ent succeeds in his project no one
need doubt the impossible again, and
Keely must produce something moro
marvellous than his motor to tax the
powers of credulity.
The Pillow Case.— The Washington
Chronicle has no use for Messrs. Ste
phens, H. Y. Johnson and Charles J.
Jenkins, but it welcomes to its bosom
Generals Forrest and Pillow, who
come redolent with the perfume of
Africa and Lou Lewis’ bouquet. The
Chronicle asserts that the colored voters
were made hostile by the conduct of
their old masters, after the war. It
says : “They drove the negroes from
them by their insane bitterness and at
tempts to virtually re-enslave those
the government had set free.” This is
a wild misstatement, and unfounded in
fact. Their old masters did all they
could, even to the point of humiliation,
to make friends of the freedmen. But
carpet-baggers, scallawags, the Bureau,
“forty acres aud a mule,” satraps and
Thad. Stevens’ Reconstruction made
the effort a vain one. Fred. Douglass
has found out at this late day the kind
of cattle Reconstruction employed.
The Southern planter knew them to be
hypocrites aud rogues all along. If
any Southern man desires to shake
hands over the chasm with the editor
of the Chronicle, he must follow For
rest and Pillow, discarding Stephens,
Johnson and Jenkins.
Sharp. —The President of the B. &
Ohio Railroad gets a small salary, but,
if the Lexington (Yu.) Gazette is to be
credited, he more than makes up the
deficiency by sharp transactions with
his son Robert, who is President of
the Yalley Company. It is stated that
Garrett pere lifted Garrett fils out of
£90,000 on an iron transfer. Third
class mackerel always come South
branded as No. 1; why should not a
first-class Railway Company unload
upon a Yirginia Company, at a profit
cf33 l ,pe* cent? Doubtless there is
some explanation of this, but the
Gazette does not think so.
Another Richmond. Chicago boasts
a Keely of her own. He has discov
ered the secret of the new motor
power, aud says it is simply a race be
tween him and the “original Jacobs as
to securing the patent and reaping the
reward.
Riding a Free Horse—lmposing on !
the Pvess.
The Atlanta Herald, of a late date, i
contained an admirable editorial arti- |
cle uuder the caption of “Riding a Free
Horse.” It is so entirely opportune
and strikes so goodly a blow for news
paper rights that we quote conspicu
ously the larger part of it. It says;
The Legislature established three new
State departments last year—the Agricul
tural Bureau, the Geological Bureau, and
the State Board of Health. It is, of course,
absolutely essential to the success of those
departments that their proceedings shoulu
be thoroughly advertised. They have to
call for statistics and information through
the medim of the press and give this in
formation, after it has been properly Edit
ed and compiled to the public through the
same medium. And yet neither depart
ment has one dollar with which to pay for
this work. The reason is quite plain.
The Legislature knew that the press
could be relied upon to do the necessary
work gratis. They provided for the pay
ment of men to till the offices, because no
men could be found to fill them for nothing;
for money to buy stationery, because no
booksellers could be foui.d to furnish
stationery gratis; for rents and gas, light,
and postage and coal, etc., because no one
will take payment for these things in pa
triotism. But for the advertising, not a
dollar was provided. The circulars, usu
ally printed at some job office that has no
newspaper, are sent to the editor requesting
him to insert it without pay, and an
addendum asking “all papers favorable
to the cause to please copy,” is mod
estly appended. Why not send to the
coal dealer and ask him to contribute a ton
of coal to the department, ana “ all coal
dealers friendly to the cause ” to do like
wise? Why not send a similar request to
the stationer, the gas company, and all
others whose resources are needed for the
administration of the bureau? If it is a
commendable enterprise, why are not they
made to aid in its advancement? Why is
the whole burden thrown upon the newspa
per publisher?
The answer is apparent. It is because the
publisher is the only man who will submit
to such an imposition. If every publisher
in Georgia would positively decline to give
publicity in any way to the circulai s sent
out by these Departments, the Legislature,
at its next session, would make an appro
priation for this purpose. There is no
doubt about it. The heads of the Depart
ments would be compelled to ask for it.
But as long as the press will do the thing
for nothing, there is no use in providing
money to pay- for it.
We do not blame the heads of these De
partments for ca'ling on the press to do
gratuitously what they have no money to
pay for. They would be derelict of their
duty it thev did not do this. We do blame
the Legislature for not making an appro
priation to cover the expenses of advertis
ing; and, more than all, do we blame the
members of our own profession for allow
ing themselves to be imposed upon. In
this connection, we are reminded that din
ing political campaigns, the newspapers
do hundreds of dollars of party printing
without any sort of party compensation.
All other men, save the editor, gets pay for
what they do for the “party,” even down to
the man who paints the banners. This
should all stop. The dignity and solvency
of journalism demand that it must stop
And those editors will go to the lieai of
their profession soonest who take a stand
against it.
Publishing a newspaper is a business, just
as selling goods is a business; and until the
publishers all over the country recognize
this fact and settle down upon it, the pro
fession will remain a doubtful and a
risky one. There is hardly a newspaper in
Georgia that would not make money if it
got pay for all the work it performed. As
it is, there are precious few that make ex
penses.
What Is Up Now?-Mr. S. V. White, in
seconding the motion to raise Mr. Beech
er’s salary to 100,000, is reported by the
Tribune to have said:
“When Henry Ward Beecher was at
tacked, your wifc and mine aud every mem"
ber of Plymouth Church was assailed.”
Is it not strange that, exceptional as the
Plymouth church people seem to be in
character, any man should voluate r to
drag his own wife into such a scandal as
this? Nobody would probably ever have
heard of Mr. White’s wife in connection
with the matter, but for his crwu introduc
tion of her.
And then, he says, addressing an audi
ence of more than forty husbands, “ your
% icife and mine.” What does he mean.— New
York Hun.
Theodore Tilton has put upon rec
ord ills belief that Plymouth Church is
a close corporation of free lovers, and
Theodore has been behind the scenes.
Can it be that the same influence pro
tecting Madame Restell protects
Beecher? For the sake of humanity,
we refuse to believe it. We now have
a “ white- souled man,” as well as a
white-gonled woman.”
A Haunted Cell.— At the New Or
leans jail there is a hauDted cell. Four
persons have committed suicide there
in, three lost women and a man who
could not get along with his wife, be
cause he loved whiskey immoderately.
Every criminal incarcerated iu that
chamber either attempts self-destruc
tion or accomplishes it. Several indi
viduals, it is said, were caught iu the
rash aet and when asked the cause, in
variably answered, “ a woman in white
appeared to me and bade me go with
her.”
A Bitter Pill. —The Philadelphia
North American can not clasp hands
over the bloody chasm so long as the
fact remains that 26 Union soldiers have
been elected to the next Congress and
86 Confederates. Well, this only proves
that the Northern voters have soured
upon their heroes, more especially as
the heroes aforesaid have, by their
legislation, brought the couutry to the
verge of ruin, if nut to absolute bank
ruptcy.
Not any more of the irrepressible Sam
Bard in ours, Mr. Agent of the Associated
Press, if you please. We can put up with
a reasonable nuisance, but this one has
outrun our patience.— Washington Chronicle.
Well, news about Sam and his high
jinks can not be worse than base ball
matches. Between the two, we prefer
unlimited Sam.
Electric Waves.— By the quadruplex
system of telegraphy, invented or per
fected by Thos. A. Edison, of Newark,
N. J., 3,000 words can be dispatched in
one minute, aud four messages sent by
a single wire at the same time. We do
not despair, before long, of getting
electric messages very cheap indeed.
Mosby had his front teeth kicked out by
a Virginia mule the other day.—Boston
Post.
Was the mule named Grant? Why
will men be such jackasses as to get
within point-blank range of a mule’s
hoofs ?
Thanks.—The New York Herahl, re
viewing the political situation, says:
The South ,will probably “go Democrat
ic,” except, perhaps, thpse two unfortunate
States, South Carolina and Mississippi;
and there is not the least doubt that .this
event, so perplexing and uncomfortable to
tiie Republican party, must be laid to the
door of Gen. Grant. -
According to this, Grandfather Grant
has done more, willingly or unwilling
ly, to help the Democratic party than
many so-called leaders of that organi
zation.
Mother Shipton’s Prophecy.
[Springfield (Xlass.) Republican.]
Every now and then, for these 400
years and more, someone has brought
to light the prophecy and memory of
Mother Shipton. As event follows event
in mechanical progress, her doggerel
verses fall in so pat that they must
needs be quoted. One of .the predic
tions thereof—“ Fire and water shall
wonders do”—has come to pass time
and again, and the latest fulfillment is
iu the Keely motor. This Mother Ship
ton was one that would have taken
high rauk as a medium in our day; in
her’s, the fifteenth century, she was
said to have been begotten, like the
wizard Merlin, of the phantasm of
Apollo, or some terial demon under that
guise, and a beautiful orphan Yorkshire
girl, named Agatha. She had the
weird, lonely girlhood that the
child'of shame is apt to have, avoided
or persecuted by those who should
have been her mates. She was christen
ed Ursula by the Abbot of Beverly, and
grew up so eccentric and unnaturally
shrewd that by and by this tradition,
in those superstitious days, grew about
her birth. She prophesied as she grew
older, aud even “ persons of quality ”
consulted her. She told the great
Wolsey that he should never come to
York, and, indeed, when within eight
miles of it, he was arrested by North
umberland at King Henry’s order, and
brought to Leicester, where he died.
Also, she is said to have foretold the
great fire of London, the execution of
Charles 1., and many notable events
besides, of the Reformation and
the reigns of Elizabeth aud
James. At the ago of seventy
three she foretold her own death,
and.at the hour predicted she died.
Her name is a popular tradition iu
Yorkshire even to-day, and the tradi
tion is founded in part upon fact. Her
famous prophecy was said to have been
published iu her life-time, and again
200 years ago, it was certainly pub
lished forty years ago, for we have seen
it in a book of that time, where it was
said to be copied from an older book.
Though most of the items are vague
enough, some show a marked coinci
dence with remarkable events, such as
the invention of steam, railway loco
motives and tunnels, the telegraph,
iron clads, aud the admission of Jews
into Parliament (in 1858.) Without
further preface, these are the elegant
lines;
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill the world with woe ;
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye.
Water shall yet more wonders do
Now strange, but yet they shall be true ;
The world unsido down shall be,
And gold be found at the root of a tree ;
Through hills man shall ride.
And horse nor ass be at his side ;
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk ;
In the air shall men be seen
In white, in black, in green ;
Iron in the water shall float
As easy as a wooden boat;
Gold shall be found and shown
In land that’s not now known:
Fire and water shall wonders do;
England shall at last admit a Jeiv;
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred eighty-one.
