THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
FRIDAY, August 6, 1875.
Daniel O’Connell’s Centenary His
Legacy to Posterity.
One hundred years ago, this day,
Daniel O’Connell, one of the most re
markable men ever born into the world,
first saw the light in Carhen, county
Kerry. He was the son of a gentleman
of property and received the best edu
cation afforded by the schools of St.
Omer and Douai, in France. Called to
the bar in 1798, he instantly took a
leading position and gave prompt and
infallible tokens of a masterful intel
lect and an indomitable soul. At that
early day, he opposed the revolution
ary spirts of many of his countrymen,
and proposed to obtain the rights of
Ireland at the forum of reason and not
by the sword, his creed being summed
up in these words: ‘‘l would accept of
no social amelioration at the cost of a
single drop of blood.” In this respect
he was what may be understood in
Georgia as a rare combination of the
best qualities which appertain to those
intellectual giants, Stephens and
Toombs. He possessed the sagacity
and prudence of the one, and the fiery,
passionate, masculine zeal of the other.
Unlike the latter, however, he never
allowed his enthusiasm to get the bet
ter of his discretion, and, in some re
spects, he was the greatest popular
orator that ever trod the earth. His
first public address at Dublin was
broken up by the red-coats of the Brit
ish army. Henceforth, he began a
course of agitation for the restoration
of the lost rights of the people of Ire
land, and never rested in this un
dertaking until the power of speech
and action was stilled in the
inexorable grave. His demands for
Catholic emancipation led him into
perpetual storms, and at last into a
tragedy. Challenged by Mr. D’Esterre,
a Dublin official, he met his adversary
on the so-called field of honor and kill
ed him. Never to the latest day of his
existence did O’Connell cease to de
plore this unfortunate affair, although
ho was forced into it and justified by
the world at large. But he never quite
forgave himself, though incessantly
prayerful to God for pardon. In 1828,
he was elected to Parliament, but re
fused to take the test oath. From that
time until the Duke of Wellington and
Sir Robert Peel conceded an equi
table and satisfactory adjustment
of the Catholic claims, he was
an agitator, but not a revo
lutionist. He was hailed in Ireland as
the Great Liberator, and worshipped
there as no mortal had ever been before
or probably will be again. He took his
seat in Parliament in 1830 and repre
sented, at different times, Kerry, Dub
lin, Kilkenny and Cork. In 1841 he
was elected Lord Mayor of Dublin.
About this time he began to agitate the
question of a repeal of the legislative
bond between Ireland and England. He
appeared before audiences, at the Hill
of Tara, the Curragh of Kildare, the
Rath of Mullaghmast, composed, it is
of 500,000 puuplo. Great, ao the
provocation was, and terrible as the
outside pressure proved to be. he still
warned his followers that their final
victory must come, not by armed in
surrection, but peaceful agitation
within the law. A monster meet
ing at Clontarf was then called,
but the British Government interfered
and O’Connell countermanded his
order. The Liberator was arrested,
tried before what may be called scala
wag Irish judges, sentenced to imprison
ment for twelve months, to pay a fine
of £2,000 and bound over to keep the
peace for seven years. An appeal to
the nouso of Lords resulted in a re
versal of this sentence. With this dis
comfiture O’Connell’s active partici
pation in the matter was made nuga
tory and the men whose violeuce he
had so long kept in check, the “ Young
Ireland” party, took a disastrous lead
in affairs. The bitterness of divided
councils, the failure of his hopes, and
the terrible scones of the great famine
told upon a body worn with service
and smote a heart which had beat so
fervently for Green Erin. In Ap
pleton's Cyclopaedia, from which we
have refreshed our memory on some
leading points, we read that “he grew
anxious and feeble and at length ill,
and had to abandon politics altogether.
At length his physicians directed that
newspapers should be kept from him
and no one admitted to his presence
who would speak of Ireland.” But
these well meant precautions seemed
to have a different effect from the one
intended. Not to read of the old land
and her fortunes was misery unspeaka
ble, and not to hear others talk of the
island of saints and sages, in her dire
extremity, was something worse than
death. And so, in 1847, he set out on
a pilgrimage to Rome—that “city of
the soul” to which the author of Childe
Harold declared the “orphans of the
heart must turn.” But the dome which
Michael Angelo hung in the heavens
lie never beheld, and the blessing he
hoped to receive from the Pontiff he
never lived to procure. At Genoa, he
passed away from the turbulent and
sorrowful dramas of the lower world.
His heart was embalmed and carried to
the Holy City; his body taken back to
Ireland, to repose among the people he
loved so well.
And now, one hundred years since
this great man was born, Irishmen the
world over are preparing to do honor
to his memory. It is to be regretted
that any sectarian feeling should be
introduced in the celebration of this
day, and we trust the foreboding of
trouble to follow it will prove to be
worse in apprehension than reality.
Though baffled at the time, in his last
darling schemes for Ireland, O’Connell’s
policy, in Europe and America, is bear
ing good fruit, and it my be said with
truth that if ever Erin is to take her
place among the nations of the earth,
and Emmett’s monument arise in
triumph, it must be, as the Liberator de
clared, from agitation within the law and
not by bloody reprisals without it. We re
gard the celebration of his centenary
as a testimonial to this tremendous
fact, and to another truth which should
inspire the faithful everywhere, that
0 cause defeated is not a cause lost,
that the cause itself is the glorious and
immortal thing and not its fate in war
or fortune. The example, the deeds,
the advice, the grand character of
O’Connell survive with his cause. And
those who suffered and died for it shall
memorially live and move us from the
dust—or as the poet more beautifully
and gloriously says:
“They never fail who die
In a great cause; the block may soak their
gore;
Their heads may sodden in the sun; their
limbs
Be strung to city g ites and castle walls—
But still their spirit walks abroad. Though
years
Elapse and others share as dark a doom,
They but augment the deep and sweeping
thoughts
Which overpower all others, and conduct
The world at last to freodom. What were
we
If Brutus had not lived? He died in giving
Rome liberty, but left a deathless lesson—
A name which is a virtue and a soul
Which multiplies itself throughout all
time.”
And hardly less nervous and appro
priate are the words of a recent prose
writer, who, with almost the inspira
tion of poetry itself, thus speaks :
“ England reaps the fruit of her past.
She is now in the position of a jailer
who would fain take off the handcuffs
from her prisoner, but dares not, for
fear of retrospective revenge. The
rnisgovernment of ages cannot be blot
ted out from the memory of the mis
governed in a day—nor in a hundred
years. It is a national Nemesis; and it
will be well for England if it do not
overtake her in some form. This feel
ing naturally finds its strongest expres
sion in the United States. Sympathy
with the mother country will never
fail. And God forbid that it should do
so. But let that sympathy take a
proper direction, an efficient form.
Give the strength of your moral sup
port—of your purses, if you will—to
the men who arc carrying on under a
different form the work of O’Connell in
Ireland—who are now bravely strug
gling for Home Rule. But turn a stern
countenance on those adventurers and
desperadoes who have no’thing wiser to
advise than wild and criminal incursions
into a friendly province, where Irish
men possess all the rights they do here,
or conspiracies and secret societies in
Ireland —projects which make the hon
est patriotism and tried courage of
Irishmen a farce for the laughter of
mankind. The Irish in America have
many traps laid for their nationality ;
but let them avoid the snares of revo
lutionary, infidel leaders for them
selves, and the day will eventually
dawn when the weight of their sup
port will turn the scale in favor or
their country’s rights against England.
This is the true way to follow the ex
ample and honor the memory of O’Con
nell.
“In spirit, the Great Liberator still
beckons the way to his countrymen.
The echo of that voice, sonorous, but
clear and sweet as a silver bell, is heard
no more on the hillsides of Erin. The
clover springs up where the feet of
thousands pressed closer to listen to
its magic spell. But his memory is
eternal as the hills themselves. Un
wearied by labors, animated by a single
passion—the love of country —men like
him ‘becoming the heroes and benefac
tors of the human race, attain to the
glory of immortality.’ The national
historian, in a future age, will date the
rehabilitation of Ireland from the birth
of O’Connell.”
Wise words admirably expressed!
And well will it be for true Irish
men everywhere if they be heeded.
Such a course as is hero marked
out must finally end in a moral tri
umph for the Emerald Isle—the land
of valorous men and virtuous women;
the home of martyrs; the clime of pa
triots: the oracle of burning eloquence
and undying song!
HEAVY RAINFALL AT BARNWELL.
Two Young Ladies Narrowly Escape
W’itli Their Lives.
[From Our Regular Correspondent.]
Barnwell C. H., S. C., August 4th.
A terrible rain storm at this place on
Tuesday evening last—uprooting trees,
demolishing fencing, tearing up cotton
aud blowing down corn. Two young
ladies, from this place, being out buggy
riding some two or more miles in the
woods, narrowly escaped with their
lives, having barely passed a falling
tree in time to save themselves from
their otherwise inevitable and sad
death. Asa good Providence willed it,
though, they were spared to their re
spective loving families and friends,
and perhaps doting sweethearts. No
thing further of interest just now.—

"When General Cass was President
of the United States”—How Old
Preston Ought to Have Lost a Bet.
Mr. Editor: No one likes a good
story better than I do, whether founded
on fact or otherwise, and the Michigan
paper’s account of “How Old Preston
Won a Bet” is very funny, but had I
been the saloon keeper who bet Gen.
Cass was never President of the United
States “Old Preston” would have had
to introduce other and further testi
mony before all hands should have
drank ut my expense, because
1. The Congressional Globe of 1848-9
could not have contained an account
of the death of President Taylor, as
that event did not happen till July 9,
1850.
2. Gen. Taylor did not die on Satur
day but on Tuesday.
3. Vice President Fillmore was not
absent from Washington City when
President Taylor died, but on that very
day presided over the Senate; neither
did an entire day intervene between
the death of the one and the inaugura
tion of tho other, Mr. Fillmore taking
the oath of office as President at 12
o’clock m. on Wednesday, July 10,1850,
before William Cranch, Chief Judge of
the Circuit Court of the united States
for the District of Columbia.
Lastly. At that time General Cass was
not President pro tem. of the Senate,
but Hon. William E. King, of Alabama.
So, you see it will not do to bet the
refreshments that Gen. Cass was Presi
dent ad interim between the death of
Gen. Taylor and the inauguration of
Mr. Fillmore, in July, 1850, and prove
it by the Congressional Globe of 1848-’9;
but its a very good story nevertheless,
and probably just as entertaining as if
it might be true.
Matter of Fact.
The Nashua Baptists have complain
ed of the noise made by the Boston,
Lowell and Nashua milk train in pass
ing their church on Sunday. The trains
were ordered to stop last Sunday, till
the afternoon and evening services
were finished, which occasioned terri
ble profanity among the passengers.
LETTER FROM PARIS.
The Great City Renewed—Covering
the Trail of the Commune—. Political
Speculations—Singular Contradic
tions of the French Character—A
Dream of Beauty and Sublimity
Realized in Stone and Science—Sub
terranean Wonders—Alas, Poor
Yorick !
[European Corresp. Constitutionalist.]
Paris, July 15, 1875.
Much of the damage sustained by
this city at the hands of the late “Com
mune” in the destruction of some of
the finest buildings has been repaired,
and Paris is again looking as gay and
as pretty as ever. The summary man
ner in which the Government dealt
with the insurrectionists has quieted
all apprehension of future disturbance
from that source. lam informed that
during the struggle many of them were
shown no quarter, and those who were
captured were speedily tried, convicted
and executed. Such severe but well
merited punishment has doubtless
crushed out Communism for some time
to come.
Upon the question of politics nothing
very definite can be said, unless it is
that, about now, they are dreadfully
mixed up. Opinions are as various as
the colors of the rainbow. Some think
one thing and some another. The gen
eral impression however seems to pre
vail that the Republic (so-called) is
destined to bo of but short duration.
Judging from the past, it is hard to
say what form of government the
French want. Certainly not a Re
public in its true sense, or else why
should they have thrown overboard ex-
President Thiers, who of all men was
the strongest advocate of that form of
government and best understood the
theory thereof. Neither do they want
au empire, for they are loud in their
denunciation of that form of rule. The
truth is, they do not themselves know
what they want. One would suppose
that they are experimenting, with the
hope of settling down upon some novel
plan of government unlike that of any
other nation.
The French are in some respects a
great people, but there are times when
they remind you more of children than
intelligent men. A few days ago at
Versailles a question arose for diseus
cussion that produced some little ex
citement. Fourteen members endea
vored to address the President at the
same time. The scene became disor
derly, the lie was passed among several,
and matters were on the eve of a
general row. Good order was however
restored and business went on as be
fore. Such scenes and others even
more ludicrous, I was informed, occur
frequently; they ill become a gather
ing of school-boys, but how much more
au assembly of rulers.
But let us hope for France a better
state of things generally. The govern
ment seems at last to have discovered
the one thing needful to wit: Tho in
culcation of religious belief among the
people. A few days ago Count de
Laffayette addressing the General As
sembly upon the subject of public in
struction said that much of the trouble
that had befallen his country had its
origin in the pernicious doctrines of ma
terialism and infidelity that were broad
cast last throughout the land; these
remarks were received with immense
applause from all parties. The bill be
fore the Assembly provides for religious
instruction in all the public schools. In
addition to this the Assembly had
agreed that each of its sessions should
be opened by prayer for Divine gui
dance. This looks very much like a
move in the right direction and, faith
fully sustained, will give to this dis
tracted country that peace and happi
ness it stands so much in need of.
Six weeks’ sojourn here has enabled
me to see much of Paris and its sur
roundings. The city is beautiful be
yond description. One of its attrac
tions is the vast number of its beau
tiful flowers seen in the parks, the gar
dens, along the avenues, in balconies
and windows, and, indeed, everywhere
throughout the city. Here are regular
markets and stores where flowers are
bought and sold by the wagon load.—
The very air you breathe comes freight
ed with their odor, their sweet perfume
is wafted in every passing breeze.—
After visiting the various public build
ings, gardens, parks, art galleries, &c.,
and after driving through many of the
handsome boulevards and streets, I
concluded to visit subterranean Paris,
and accordingly obtained the necessary
permit from the Prefect to go down
into the sewers and catacombs. No one
can imagine the immense amount of
work done beneath the city’ - . It is sim
ply a second Paris. If tho principal
sewers alone were placed in a straight
line they would extend over three hun
dred miles. Visitors are conveyed
through them on cars and in boats.—
They are all constructed of solid ma
sonry and lined with waterproof ce
ment ; and so well ventilated that la
dies visit them quite as frequently as
gentlemen. The health of Paris is
due largely to this excellent system of
drainage. Before its construction the
mortality averaged 36 to every 1,000.
Now it is only 22. Statistics show this
city to be the healthiest of all European
capitals.
The Catacombs were formerly quar
ries, worked as far back as the Roman
period, yielding a soft limestone, which
hardens on exposure to the air. Much
of the building material of Paris was
obtained here. Permission to visit
them is now allowed only once a year.
Each person is required to come pro
vided with a candle, which is lit on en
tering the descending stairway. After
reaching a depth of 75 feet the galle
ries extend in every direction under the
city. They take the name of the va
rious boulevards and streets of Paris.
Our 200 candles afforded a light scarce
ly inferior to that of broad day. We
were preceded by guides, who, after
taking us through some of the princi
pal galleries for a mile or two, halted
the party in front of a large iron door.
This was unlocked, thrown open, and
we were admitted into the great char
nel house, or rather city of the dead.
Here a prophet of much less celebrity
than Ezekiel could safely predict, at
the last day, a mighty rattling of dry
bones, For miles, both sides of the
galleries and different compartments
are completely lined with human bones.
Those of the legs and arms are corded
up like wood, and the skulls fastened
in front in double rows. All other
bones are thrown in rear of these, and
hid from view. The arrangement ap
pears to have been made with the
greatest care. Further on are several
chapels constructed entirely out of the
same ghastly material and furnished
with various inscriptions. For awhile
I amused myself examining the skulls.
Some, I would find, had been perforat
ed by bullets, others fractured by blows
from sticks and clubs ; but more fre
quently I would discover where they
had been bored into by members of the
medical fraternity. For a long time I
stood over one poor fellow’s skull who,
in life, evidently fell into the hands of
some young practitioner. What a time
he must have had I His bead was bored
into all over—no less than fifteen
places. I longed to know what com
plaint could have warranted such he
roic treatment, but could only conjec
ture that it was one of those many
cases where, in order to effect a cure,
it was necessary to give the patient
fits, The right to a burial in perpetu
ity in any of the cemeteries of Paris
must be purchased; if not the body is
allowed to remain only five years, when
it is exhumed, the bones scraped, and
afterwards conveyed down into the
Catacombs—its final resting place,
Armata.
