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.— More anon. Carolinian. "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.
