THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
FRIDAY, July S3, 1875.
The Adoration of Muscle—Weight of
Meat vs. Weight of Mind and Murals.
Taking the recent popular excite
ment over the victory of Cornell Col
lege oarsmen as a text, the Baltimore
Gazette endeavors to ehow how mus
cle is worshipped more than intel
lect or virtue by the world at large.
As President White, of Cornell, joined
in the general jubilation and alluded to
physical training as a “great moral
agent,” the Gazette excepts as follows :
“ In his glorification of muscle he sim
ply went too far, and as for the moral
agencies that exercises in boating and
foot-racing bring into play, he would
have been surprised if he had
seen these young athletes making
pools on the race at Saratoga, and
will be still more shocked when he
learns, as he may from the Tribune,
that they also became quite familiar
with John Morrissey’s green cloth,
although it will comfort him some
what to bo informed that “they
played with great caution,” and that,
by a surprising piece of good luck,
nearly all of them were winners.” Not
disputing that courage, manliness and
physical power, in their way, exercise
a beneficial influence, the same paper
concludes as follows:
A people notably deficient in them in
variably takes a low rank in the scale of
nations; tor feebleness and pusillanimity
are everywhere held up to scorn. But is
there not a fear that we may exalt the
blessings of physical tiaining overmuch V
that under proper regulations it will in
vigorate the body, and can be made a
moral force, we do not for a moment ques
tion. But we doubt whether the training
for a boat race, or for a prize light, is
of a sort to be commended. Prize fight
ers are not usually long lived, and ex
cessive training for boat or foot races
is more apt to have an injurious ef
fect on the lungs and heart than to
perman ntty strengthen the body and pro
mote the general health. The only physi
. al training to which no exception can be
taken, and the effect of which is entirely
good, is that which proceeds, step by step,
to develop without undue strain the mus
cular powers,and which, commencing with
light exercise, takes up gradually and in
succ ssion those that a e more difficult. This
system of training might be encouraged to
advantage in all our schools and colleges,
and if it. Were generally adopted manifesta
tions of strength, activity and endurance
would become so common that they would
tend very materially to subdue that incli
nation to worship mere muscle, to which
we are now prone, and of which the Cornell
ovation presents so striking an example.
The best specimens of men are those
who unite, as sometimes happens, ro
bustness of mind with bodily power.
But the tendency to make a great ado
over mere muscle without brain is not
confined to auy portion of the world. It
is part and parcel of the same pecu
liarity which induces kings and princes,
not to speak of untitled gentility, to
shower gold and diamonds upon disre
putable professional women, while ge
nius starves in a garret, and virtue
goes supperless to bed.
The Cotton Convention.— Some wag
of a fellow, writing from the White
Sulphur Springs, thus prospects about
the Cotton Convention:
What is it going to do ? 1 have lost what
little faith 1 once had in these great con
ventions. They have a world of talk and
no moderate amount of eating and drink
ing, and what else ? I am at a loss to know,
i know that at the approaching convention
there will be representatives that will be
thi .king far more of how they may turn
cotton to their personal advantage than
how they may advance the interests of the
community engaged in cultivating cotton,
and 1 don’t believe they will find out how
that is to be done. That will be good! I
never yet knew the benefits of these con
ventions save to hotel-keepers and rail
loads. We had many Irefore the war in the
South on direct trade, and I do not believe
“direct trade” ever was benefited to the
extent of a “canoe load.” They consisted of
convocations of very generous and genial
who made enthusiastic speeches,
and enthusiastically ate and drank and
went home with a “dam-hie.” The “Yan
kees” laughed immoderately at them and
minded them no more than last year’s
clouds. There will be some Yankees in this
convention who will try to make the most
or it. But they can’t.
Perhaps this satirical critic failed to
get an imitation to attend the Conven
tion, when Gens. Toombs and Joe
Johnston were thus honored.
Banks and Greenbacks. —Hon. Samuel
Cary, candidate for Lieut-Governor of
Ohio, on the Democratic ticket, has
made a terrible attack upon the Na
tional Banks. He says the bank money
is good and nothing can be said against
the bankers, but the system is an evil
one. He thinks the 2,000 Banks with
6400,000,000 capital can combine to con
trol the government and bankrupt the
people at. pleasure. It is always a neat
dodge to put labor agaiust capital and
this is apparently what Mr. Cary is
doing. From present, appearances, if
repudiation shall come at all, it will
come from the truly loyal States whose
people organized their finances to crush
and enslave the South and now dread
that they are about to be crushed and
enslaved themselves.
Tilden and Washburne.—' The great
gambler, John Morrisey, thinks Tilden
and Bayard will be the Democratic
nominees for the Presidency. Tilden
is worth $7,000,000, is a business man,
with flrstrate legal knowledge and exe
cutive ability. Of Washburne, Mr.
Morrissey thus speaks: “I can see
where Washburne would poll a great
vote. He saved those pi tests in Paris.
Do you suppose the Catholic church
will ever get over that ? He saved the
Germans from the people of Paris. He
stayed right thereat his post at the
time.” A Democrat, no matter what
his religion, will vote for the Demo
cratic candidate, and, unless some jug
gling be used, that candidate will not
be Gov. Tilden.
Prosperous.— According to the latest
assessment, New York State has in
creased her taxable property, since
187&-74, a little less than $200,000,000.
Perhape the assessment surpassed, as
it sometimes does, the actual value of
the property.
Gordon.— Because he has made an
“ inflation ” speech, the New York
Herald ranks Gen. Gordon among “ the
enemies of the National honor.”—
Next!
Mothers-in-Law.— The Baltimore Sun
puts the case thus: “The flippant j
sons-in-law who attempts to make
merry at the expense of the unfortu
nate motliers-in-law are proceeding
from bad to worse. Some time ago a
suit in which a mother-in-law was de
fendant was tried in Indianapolis, and a
verdict was found against her. Another
of the same sort has come before the
United States Court at St. Paul. Mo.
The mother-in-law in the latter in
stance was sued for 620,000, her un
grateful son by marriage charging that
she was instrumental in alienating his
wife’s affections and depriving him of
the company of his wife and child.
Didn’t the rascal in the first place,
however, alienate the affections of the
daughter from the mother to himself?
The practice of suing mothers-in-law
is really becoming too prevalent, and
promises in time to work a social revo
lution of no mean proportions. Its
effect certainly should be salutary by
preventing daughters from marrying
and placing their dear mothers in such
awkward positions.”
Republican Ideas. —Ex-Senator Carl j
Schurz, referring to the South, said:
“We have a great system. If you in
terfere, we annihilate you ; if you can
be serviceable, we will amalgamate
you.”
Caleb Cushing, on the same topic, ob
served: '* You are subjugated by New
England arms; you are to be over
whelmed by New England civilization.”
A notable Southern man to whom
these remarks were addressed, doleful
ly responded : “Our period has passed.
We are obsolete. But our truth re
mains and cannot die, although our
people are striving to smother it in
tilth and fawning.”
A greater one than man, however,
disposes of the propositions of the
wiseacres of this world, and makes all
things even at. the last. It is not so
easy to annihilate or “civilize” the South
according to a set programme. Time has
wonderous revenges and startling sur
prises. The patient man will witness
miracles.
Cassius M. Clay. —According to the
veteran politician Cassius M. Clay,
Gen. Grant lost his heft when he lost
Rawlings; that he lias dogged cour
age, but no great talent; and that his
statesmanship is beneath criticism. He
thinks, however, that, failing to get a
third term nomination, the President-
General will turn the guns of the party
against the nominee and blow Radical
ism higher than a kite. Mr. Clay adds
that “if the Republicans had a wise and
patriotic man at the head of the Gov
ernment they ought to have held their
power for half .a century, or as long, at
least, as human nature will allow a
party to exist in a free country. But
Grant has dene its work. It is num
bered with the past. The great achieve
ments it made, the great principles it
established, will survive, but from this
time forward the Democratic party will
he their conservator.”
Waddy Thompson. —The shameless
bearer of an honored name, Waddy
Thompson, is certified to as one of the
champion swindlers of the age. He
dealt in “crooked” articles during the
war; was mixed up in the burning of a
vessel at or near New Orleans, purport
ing to be loaded with cotton, but which,
it afterwards turned out, had a cargo
of Louisiana moss and cotton seed,
both comparatively valueless. His
present trouble has been caused by
spiriting away, during a night in Octo
ber last, a store full of goods, several
horses, vehicles, etc., on a writ of re
plevin sued out in favor of Mrs. Fran
cis Wilkerson, his mother-in-law.
Fee Bills. —The Cincinnati Gazette
says naughty things about the doctors.
Here is a specimen :
The parlor into which the spider invited
the fly was not better fitted for its pleasure
than is this parlor of a fee bill, and of a
prohibition of direct advertising, into
which the seniors invite the juniors. The
innocence with which they walk into it,
and put themselves in pound for ten or
twenty years, is a refreshing picture of hu
man nature in a state of pristine verdure.
Does the editor of the Gazette desire
to destroy the ethics of the profession ?
The old doctors had to go through
that mill and no doubt think the young
fellows should have their share of the
discipline.
Juggernaut. —M. Louis Veuillot is
attempting to prove that the French
inundations are attributable to the
wrath of God directed against Tou
louse and the Garonne Valley. We dare
say these floods proved disastrous be
cause of some human neglect, and
especially so since the warning of
Louis Napoleon relative t.o providing a
proper barrier was long ago unheeded.
Doubtless, violation of the law, human
and divine, brings appropriate punish
ment ; but the Juggernaut idea is not
a wholesome view of the Lord of
Glory.
The Old War Horse.—Gov. Allen
made a great speech at Newark, Ohio,
the other day. He powerfully defended
the Democratic platform; declared that
the impending conflict in this country
was to be between the People and the
Money Power; charged the Republicans
with being responsible for the depres
sion everywhere; and asserted that
forced resumption means general ruin
and disaster.
Miscegenation. —lntermarriage of
whites and blacks is forbidden by
law in Indiana, but a German gar
dener in that State has wooed, won
aud been wedded to a black woman.
The knot was tied by a negro preacher.
Bride, groom aud preacher are In jail,
subject to a penalty of ten years im
prisonment and a fine of $5,000. Where
is Gen. Forrest?
Ohio Democracy. —The Washington
Union and American thinks the oppo
sition to Gov. Allen aud the Ohio plat
form comes from “National Bank or
gans.” We do not know as to that,
but perhaps the Baltimore Gazette can
tell us something about it.
Sharon.— The Nevada Senator, Sha
ron, has two unmarried daughters. He
is quite able to give them $1,000,000
apiece. There’s a chance for some
smart fellows.
Brevity. —Brevity is said to be the !
soul of wit. If so, there can not be j
much wit in tremendously loDg !
speeches, especially with the mercury
ranging high up in the nineties. John
Randolph, and ex-Gov. Hammond, of
South Carolina, possessed the rare fac
ulty of condensing au immense amount
of wisdom in snug sentences and short
speeches. Would to God they had
more imitators in this day and genera
tion !
“Bill” Allen.—An Ohio man writes
to his brother in Nashville that the
people are well satisfied with the re
nomination of Old Bill Allen by the
Democratic party, and expect to elect
him by “more than double the majority
he received before.” That must be bad
news to the New York World and Balti
more Gazette.
Wealth. —Financial pundits are both
ering their heads just now to defino
“wealth.” The editor of the Philadel
phia Chronicle propounded the same
question to a rather dilapidated speci
men of humanity at the Falls of Schuyl
kill, who replied: “Give me three good
whiskey cocktails aud fifty cents, and I
wouldn’t call Stephen Girard my
uncle.”
Gallic. —The French view of the
Baker scandal is that the young lady
ought not to have been traveling with
out adequate protection, and that the
rascal Colonel is, under the circum
stances, “morally innocent.” In Amer
ica, the brothers or parents of young
ladies thus assaulted generally settle
the matter in their own way.
Jeff. Davis. —The rumor of Jeffer
son Davis taking up his residence in
Texas and being returned as United
States Senator makes the Washington
Chronicle fairly squeal. Very likely,
Mr. Davis has no such intentions, but
the very mention of the “arch trait
or’s ” name is worse than cow itch to
the Washington Chronicle.
A Crime Bonanza. —If any one desires
to beat dime novels and Newgate
Calendars, let a compilation be made
of all murders committed in the city of
New York on auy ten Sundays of the
year. It would beat Ku-Klux outrages,
real and fictitious, all hollow.
Resemblance. —There is a strong like
ness between Hon. Sam Randall, of
Pennsylvania, and Hon. John 11. James,
of Atlanta. The coincidence would be
all the stranger if the former should
win the Speakership of the House and
the latter the Governorship of Georgia.
The Speakership. —lt is reported
that Sam Randall has 90 votes pledged
to him for the Speakership of the next
House of Representatives. Many a
siip, etc., Sammy.
BATTLE OF THE BOYNE.
The Sad, Old Story.
[New York Her a Id. j
We note that the Roman Catholic
clergymen in Lawrence, Mass., have
issued a card deploring the riots which
took place on Monday, the 12th of July.
It seems that there have been distur
bances in Canada arising out of the
Orange celebration, some of them of a
very serious character. In New York
we got along very well, the terrible les
son of four years ago still bearing its
fruits. The Orangemen who went out
to a picnic in honor of the day were
guarded by policemeu as though they
were convicts intended for Blackwell’s
Island. Still there was no difficulty be
yond a blow or two. This anniversary,
celebrated with so much anger, and at
times bloodshed, commemorates the
Battle of the Boyne. This battle was
fought nearly two centuries ago, be
tween William of Orange, a Dutch
prince, who was seeking a throne, aud
James 11., an English prince, who was
flying from one. The issue was one of
power and personal ambition. William
111. wanted a higher place, and to fight
Frence, the hereditary enemy of his
House. He joined the whigs in Eng
land and seized the crown of his
father-in-law. Like Frederick the
Great, who was an atheist, he cared
nothing for religion. But he knew the
value of a cry, and wrote on his banner
that he was “ the defender of the Pro
testand religion.” James was a Catho
lic, and would gladly have written his
faith on his banners. But religion to
him and his antagonist was really a
pretext. There were good Catholics
who followed the flag of William and
good Protestants in the army of James.
Catholicism was only one of the ques
tions between them, aud not in any
sense a vital question. It became so
after James was in exile, and largely
because he was dependent upon a Ca
tholic king for hospitality. But the
Battle of the Boyne was no more a re
ligious contest than the Batlleof Get
tysburg was au anti-slavery contest.
Religion was to some extent as issue in
one as slavery was in the other. The
battles were for empire on the part of
William, and for uuiou on the part of
Lincoln.
Why, then, should Irishman, in this
far laud and at this late day, celebrate
the Battle of the Boyne? Why should
a tradition, dark and bloody, become
year aTter year a flaming brand in free,
uupm tisan America ? What do Ameri
cans care about, the Battle of the Boyne?
Even suppose it to have been purely a
religious tight, should we, as Protest
ants, care to cherish it? This is a
country of religious freedom, absolute,
unquestioning, where Pope and pres
byter have spiritual respect aud power.
Why should we brood over these sad
memories of t lie time of the Prince of
Orange? When Irishmen come to
America to leave its citizenship a herit
age for their children why should they
cherish such a forbidding mem
ory as that of the Boyne? Of course
no one questions their right or that
of any citizen to celebrate any anni
versary. We are only dwelling upon
the taste of these displays. Ameri
cans, whether by citizenship or birth,
should always be Americans. Aliens
should bring with them only pleasant
thoughts of home. There are many
festivals in all countries, sweet, domes
tic, religious, which we are glad enough
to welcome. It is these war legacies
that we despise—these anniversaries of
hatred which are rarely celebrated
without bloodshed. Why should the
Germans celebrate Sedan, or the
Frenchmen Jena ? Why should Eng
lishmen honor Waterloo, or Protestant
Irishmen the Battle of the Boyne?—
Why should there be any celebrations
of events that have no connection with
America, aud that in their intent and
meaning are an insult to worthy fellow
citizens of different creeds aud nation
alities ? Let our anniversaries be those
of peace aud of amity, celebrating
great achievements in science and art.
Let the dead aud bloody past bury its
dead. Let our anniversaries be AmerL
can in their spirit, and their coming
aud going, will not be so dismal as this
foolish memory of the Battle of the
Boyne.
