THE CONSTITUTIONALIST WEDNESDAY, July 21, 1875. Senator Thurman —How he is Handi capped. It is the misfortune of Senator Thur man that he is a prominent candidate for the Presidency. From the days of Washington - , “Presidency on the brain” has been a well-recognized form of mental disorder. Very few of our prominent men altogether escape this affliction in some form or other, and it is said that to their dying hours several prominent statesmen have cherished the hope of still living and still presid ing at the White House. When the disease is well-developed it is apt to betray its victims into strange ca prices. There are so many con tending factions to be propitiated that the odds are again3t the unhappy creature who vainly essays to please everybody. This seems to be the case witli Senator Thurman. His concession to the Ohio platform, under a mild pro test, and for the sake of harmony, drew the lire of the New York World and Baltimore Gazette; and so tre mendous was their bombardment that Mr. Thurman feels called upon to ask a suspension of hostilities until he can make a speech in the Ohio campaign and demonstrate his attachment to hard money and opposition to inflation. If t.ho distinguished Senator partici pates in the Ohio campaign in this apologetic, half-hearted manner, he will likely enough do more harm than good. We do not wish to prejudge him, but, under these circumstances, it might be the part of prudence to say nothing at all about the currency and only work and speak for the triumph of Wm. Allen, as the foe of Radical monstrosities. Mr. Thurman may succeed in calm ing the hard-money men of the East ern and Middle States by his speeches, but he is bound to offend many persons in the West and South. Already, a vigor ous denunciation from Texas is heard. He is accused of having, for Northern capital, helped defeat the construction of the Southern Pacific Railway. The editor of the Dallas Herahl “ goes for him ” in this style: “Now, we can say to Mr. Thurman, “and all other seekers for the support “of the Southern Democracy, that we “intend no longer to be cajoled by “simple expressions of sympathy which “cost nothing. All our interests, agri “cultural, manufacturing and commer “cial are to be rebuilt, and with the “wolf at the door, we feel that the day “of sentimental politics has passed. If “the Democrats of the North are the “friends of the South they profess to “be, and desire our co-operation in elect ing their favorite candidate for “their Presidency next year, they “must give us some tangible proof of “practical sympathy. They must show “their willingness to do a little for us ‘what they have, in such a large “measure, done for themselves. We "ask bread and will not be satisfied “with a stone.” Mr. Thurman has committed the error of supposing that tne main issue in this country is the currency question, whereas it is but an incident to the gigantic problem of Radical Recon struction, which has debased every thing. Verily, the Ohio Senator is be tween the devil and the deep sea. If he can extricate himself to the satisfac tion of everybody, so be it. This is an age of miracles and possibly Mr. Thur- M'.n is a wonder-worker and a prophet. Neglected Genius —Panl H. llayue and His Constancy. Praising Mr. Hayne's genius very warmly, the Boston Advertiser says : To boa poet in the South is in some sense a peuauce. There is bitter want of the encouragement that every aspirant for literary fame has in the North, as soon as lie gives any certain token of merit. The Southern poet sings not to his own people, who, for the most part, care not to hear him. but to strangers, between whom and himself there is not the free sympathy that is most potent to Inspire him, and it re quires a brave heart to persevere in his work. Through good aud evil report, con fronted with appalling obstacles, Mr. Haynk has never faltered in his duty to Art. We dare say, at a future time, when ihe South grows rich, powerful aud populous, the genuine singer will not want for an appreciative audience and a just reward. At the North, the prosperous men of letters have usually some other means of wiuninga livelihood besides their contributions to the Muse. At the South, a man who depends upon poesy fora living is a phenomenon;aud, in some cases, necessity has compelled several aspirants for poetical fame to abandon their art for more practical ways and means of subsistence. Nobody can readily be found to take care of a poet’s family when the poet himself is I wandering on Mount Parnassus. It is to the undying honor, however, of Faux. H. Hayne that he has never forsaken the Mistress of his Soul and, living a true poet, will die with his Lady’s fa vors unsullied upon his breast. A Good Hit.— The Richmond En quirer takes the Tribune and World to task for publishing accounts of “bur glaries by daylight,” both in the eye of the law- and common sense the phrase being vile and ridiculous. The En quirer says : “While on this subject we may as well refer to another word which is sadly misused by the press of this country; it is “robbery” as synonymous with theft . Robbery is legally defined as “the forcible and felonious taking from the person of another any money or goods, putting him in fear, that is, by violence or by menaces of death or personal injury. Robbery differs from theft, as it is a violent, felonious taking from the person or presence of another; whereas theft is a felonious taking of goods privately from the person,"“dwel ling, etc., of another. These words should not be confounded. A Rhyming Contest.— The Virginia papers are still wrangling over Dan Lu cas’ semi-centennial poem. When they get through with the unfortunate poet he will have no more feathers or lau rels on him than the Mexican ostrich. Some of those editorial chaps who know so well how to criticize should be required to furnish a better lyric than that they have so mercilessly attacked. The Next Presidency—Calculations of the Adversary. Though the Democracy possess an overwhelming numerical majority in the Forty-foui th Congress, any calcula tion as to the political division of States is quite significant. The Repub licans evidently fear that an opposition President will be carried into the White House on a tidal wave of popular ma jorities; but they are also making close calculations as to the possibility of the election being thrown into the House of Representatives. Should this be the case, the Constitution ordains that “the votes shall be taken by States, the rep resentatives from each State having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the States, and a majority of all the States shall be ne cessary to a choice.” The Chicago Inter-Ocean, with such lights before it, thus prospects: The following: States have a clear Demo cratic representation: Alabama, New Hampshire, Arkansas, Now Jersy, Connecticut, North Carolina, Delaware, Ohio, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas, Maryland, Virginia, Missouri, West Virginia—lß. The following have a clear Republican majority: Florida, Nebraska, lowa, Nevada, Kansas, Oregon, Louisiana, Rhode Island, Maine, South Carolina, Michigan, Vermont, Minnesota, Wisconsin—l 4. California and Mississippi have yet to elect, but will probaby return a Republican delegation. This would increase the Re publican States to sixteen, to which may be added Massachusetts, which has a dele gation consisting of four Republicans, four Democrats and three Independents, two of the latter of whom can bo counted with the Republicans. This increases the Republi can States to eighteen, the number pos sessed by the Democrats. In addition to these we have New York, with sixteen Re publicans and sixteen Democrats. A mem ber to till a vacancy is to be elected in the Chautauqua and Cattaraugus district, which will decide the question of the posi- tion of New York in the House. The dis trict, however, is Republican, and will doubtless return a Representative ac cordingly, which would make the number of Republican States nine teen to eighteen for the opposition. Colorado will also bo represented, in all probability, in the second session of the Forty-fourth Congress, and the result of the election there may quite likely be to tie the House or give a clear majority for the Republicans. In case of a tie and no election by the House, a constitutional pro vision exists whereby the Vice-President, if one has been chosen by the electoral votes, becomes President. If not so chosen, the Senate proceeds to select from the two can didates having the largest number of votes a Vice-President, who shall act as President for the term prescribed. The latter con tingency would give the country a Repub lican Chief Magistrate, as the Senate is and must continue for some time Republi can. It will be from the above that an election by the House is by no means cer tain to result so favorably as has been an ticipated by the Democratic gentlemen who have hoped to place it there. If this fact serves to keep a turbulent House in proper subjection to the spirit of the laws, it will be esteemed a most favorable and lucky incident. The above is very nice calculating, and no doubt takes the most favorable possible view of future contingencies. We give the shrewdest Republican forecast that we have seen, and, while preserving a reasonable aud even en thusiastic confidence in our own re sources, it is just as well to learn and comprehend the tactics and expecta tions of our adversary. A Distinguished Compliment—Miss Lollise W. King. The many friends of our beautiful and accomplished townswoman, Miss Louise W. King, will be gratified to know that her distinguished services, in behalf of the brute creation depen dent upon man and useful to him, have been recognized by the Royal Associa tion of Great Britain. From this emi nent source, Miss King has received a diploma and an accompanying letter of the most complimentary character. We rejoice that so noble a woman as Miss Louise W. King should be the re cipient of such well-won honors from an Association which numbers in its ranks much of the intelligence, the loveliness, the piety aud the grandeur of the United Kingdom. Among that shining host, we feel assured that our fair Augusta maiden holds no second place in zeal, culture and eleva tion of soul. While American marks manship is winning triumphs, by bearded riflemen, with weapons of war, a charming daughter of the South has secured far greater testimonials for her devotion to those things which save the world aud curb its tendency to crime and destruction. In our opin ion, the woman’s victory is the proud er and better, though not heralded like the conquests of lords of creation. Cupid’s Court. —A letter to the Rich mond Dispatch from the White Sulphur Springs runs in this fashior : Cupid lias not fully opened his court here. There are some high-spirite i gallants ren dezvoused here, but they are rather waiting for other arrivals before beginning opera tions. Some gallant Generals are wont to lead off in the gentle and tender manifesta tions, and the expectation is that there will be yet quite a gay time in this respect. Gen- Gary is said to be approaching the moun tains, and it is suspected that more than one fair bing has said “tell me, my heart, can this be love? ” General Gary is a Ca ballero. He comes from the Palmetto State, that has always occupied a high po sition in the court of honor and love hero. It is well remembered how that ardent man of State, Governor Pickens, once, like Ro salind, filled the grove near Lover’s leap with sonnets and symbols of tender pas sion. General Gary still nobly maintains the bright reputation of his interesting State. Let us look out, for there is no tell ing what is going to happen. As soon as Gen. Gary shall have arranged his extensive law practice and planting operations, we dare say he will enter the lists of Love and, as usual, captivate many hearts at the Springs, without bringing a wife back with him. We have begun to despair of the General as a possible Benedick. but, in this day of Keely motois and tie-back dresses, there is no telling what will happen to the toughest and most veteran eaballero. Senator Robertson and the Carpet- Baggers—A Case of Pot and Kettle. Senator Robertson, of South Caro lina, is open in his denunciation of car pet-baggers in South Carolina. Admit ting that the blackest picture drawu of South Carolina has not been exaggera ted, he is reported to have said : “Nearly all that outsiders know about dlssention, fraud and corruption is true, and if it appears bad to those who know so little, how must it look to us who are be hind the scenes and striving for a good government. I tell you, sir, we must get rid of the carpet-bag influence. It is bane ful, it is vicious, and there can be no true reform until it is driven out. I think Gov. Chamberlain is not to be deterred by the plea of a split in his own party. The col ored voter lias learned to estimate the true value of the carpet-bagger, and he cannot be used as a mere political machine in the future as he has been in the past. Give us a good government, and they are the be t laborers we can have; and when we do get such a government they will, like all other laboring classes, vote generally with their employers, and whether these belong to one or other of the political parties into which the State may be divided. Being property holders aud tax-payers, a good government, economically administered, is as important to the one as the other.” We heartily agree with Senator Ro bertson that the carpet-baggers are dreadful nuisances, but does not his denunciation of them come with bad grace? Did he not ally himself with them early in the day ? Has he not ac cepted an office of “honor” aud emolu ment from these “lewd fellows of a baser sort ?” Could they have fully pros pered iu guilt and misgoverument with out the co-operation of men like him ? Could he have been a Senator had not carpet-bag principles been accepted as his political creed and confession of faith ? Southern “scallawags” have been the main-stay and backbone of carpet-bagism, and, when true reform shall have come in South Carolina, we do not perceive how any very wide discrimination can be made between the robber and the receiver of stolen goods. We are de lighted to notice symptoms of a di vision between these Radical factions, because, iu such a case, the faithful among : the faithless iu the Palmetto State may stand some chance of recov ering their proper positions, if not some of their confiscated property. Negro labor, as Mr. Robertson says, is the best we have. It would very probably have been infinitely better than it is had there been no Robert sons, Chamberlains, Scotts, Parkers, et id omne genus. The Revival of Know-Notliingism. (Nashville Union and American.] Anew Know-Nothing movement has been set on foot. It is called the Ameri can League, and was first organized in 1871. The New York Sun says it has 40,000 members in the State of New York, and will run a complete ticket for State officers in the election of November. Its great principle is that none but Americans born in this coun try, and of American parents, shall be eligible to office ; and it proposes that the naturalization laws shall be amended accordingly. It also lays down the doctrine of absolute non-in terference in religious subjects, though it holds the law of the land supreme above any church or sect. It is a secret society made up of lodges, pass words, signals and oaths. We do not suppose it can amount to much at present. The exclusion of foreign born citizens and their children from the right to hold office is not an object for which many people will labor very heartily. A secret society based on re ligious intolerance mightgaiustrength; but this sort of thing will not enlist so many supports. Something of the same kind is being attempted iu Ohio by the Republican leaders, but their policy is even more aggressive, as it has for its object a rigorous crusade against the Catholic church. Maryland, too, has anew secret or ganization, already large aud powerful, which has for one of its main purposes opposition to granting State or muni cipal aid to sectarian institutions. It has a membership of 15,000 voters in Baltimore alone, so it is said. Though men of all politics and nationalities are embraced in tbe order it is understood to be anti-Catholic. Dear Dying.—The efforts of philan thropists to cheapen burial expenses may receive an impetus by the New York Tribune's exposition of a first class funeral, which unfortunately is too often indulged in by tenth-class citizens, so far as cash is concerned : 1 Rosewood colfln, lined with velvet. .$ 300 1 Coffin-plate (name and all the virtues engraved gratis) 12 3 Full extension silver-plated handles, 30 1 Coffin box, to protect coffin 8 1 Ice box (second-hand) l5 1 Shroud 25 Hearse 10 10 Coaches to Greenwood 70 8 Pairs of gloves, for pall-bearers 20 2 Scarfs for pall-bearers and one for the door io 1 Undertaker’s fee for personal at tendance 25 4 Porters to carry out coffin 6 1 Sexton at Church 15 1 Organist and choir 40 Flowers 100 1 Lot in Greenwood Cemetery 600 1 Grave digger 5 1 Monument, home manufacture, of Quincy granite 000 Total $2,191 If these sepulchral pomps were only the follies of the very rich nothing need be objected to them. But they are too often the follies of families who are far from being in easy circumstances. 'a “A brave, daring and cautious soldier, and a kind-hearted man.”— Sherman in Con versation after Frank Blair’s Death. “A political adventurer who joined the army for the distinction it would give him in politics.”— Sherman's Opinion of Frank Blair in his Memoirs. Possibly, when Wade Hampton dies, if he should unfortunately leave the world before Sherman, the Great Bum mer may lug out his bandana handker chief and drop some crocodile tears to the memory of the man he so foully and falsely aspersed. Six New York State men have been sunstruck this year while hoeing corn on Sunday, but none of those who go fishing on that day have been hurt. — Detroit Free Press. A farmer in Chariton found a way to make a balky horse go. He took him to a strange town and put him up at auction. He went for eighty-five dol lars. I FUNERAL NOTICE.
