THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
TUESDAY August 10, 1875.
The Mississippi Canvass—Col. Lamar
and the Color Line.
Every State must work out its polit
ical salvation in its own way, and pos
sibly the commonwealth of Mississippi
can only be saved from Radical robbery
and misrule by adopting the tactics of
South Carolina, which are of rather
questionable value. But the provo
cations of the Palmetto State are
greater than those of the State of Mis
sissippi, so far as expediency in politi
cal “reform” is concerned. The negro
majority in Mississippi is only 5,142;
that of South Carolina is, we believe,
in the neighborhood of 30,000. Now,
to an outsider, who has had some ex
perience in the management of ad
verse colored majorities in this
State, we should say that the
white people of Mississippi must be
sadly lacking in state-craft if they can
not, without wretched compromises,
overcome the comparatively small
negro majority against them. It may
be that many white men have attached
themselves to the Radical party ; but,
in spite of that, there is no reason,
save the apathy and bad leading of the
people, why the Democrats cannot
overcome this opposition. Possibly
Col. Lamar and his fellow-leaders are
convinced that the negroes may be
won over by fine words and highly
colored resolutions ; by appeals to their
reason, their common sense, and,
principally, by yielding to the Sumner
bill of rights, so-called. Lamar is on
the spot and has taken coun
sel of intelligent men from all
sections of the State, and may
have adopted the most sagacious
policy. But, on the other hand, a vic
tory won by a species of political amal
gamation, may be just such as the King
of Epirus wrested from the Romans,
which he himself was forced to charac
terize as “ worse than a defeat ” or, to
use his own words, “ a few more such
victories and we arc undone.”
Of Col. Lamar’s patriotism, virtue,
eloquence and ability no one has any
question ; but we are not so sure that
sagacity and wisdom are his chief at
tributes. That he is doing what he
considers the very best thing for Mis
sissippi’s redemption we firmly believe;
and while we may not, so far as we
comprehend his policy, entirely agree
with him, we nevertheless wish him
the greatest success in all things wor
thy of it.
The Southern Law Review'.
From Soule, Thomas & Wentworth,
of St. Louis, Mo., publishers of the
work, we are in receipt of the July,
1875, number of “The Southern Law
Review,” a legal quarterly of unusual
interest and value, particularly noti
ceable for the extent and variety of its
original articles from leading jurists,
especially of the South, and for the
judgment displayed in its book reviews
and professional notes. From the
names of subscribers, among whom we
find Hon. B.H. Hill, Frank Miller, Esq.,
Gen. Toombs, and L. D. Harrison,
Esqs., Clerk of our Supreme Court, our
.mt> j UVOLU AUU J UU I U LJ tUD
value of the Review. F. F. Heard, of
Boston, contributes an excellent article
on the old Reporters and Text writers,
showing from adjudged cases their
comparative weight and authority;
Timothy Brown, of lowa, treats of the
important, but as yet ill defined, sub
ject of the liability for torts of Infants
and those non compos ; and the vener
able Henry S. Foote writes entertaingly
for the Bench and Bar of the South and
Southwest of “auld lang syne.” There
are seven other articles and Seymour
D. Thompson, Esq., the editor has a fine
note on Compromise Verdicts and
another on the old Roman Law and the
Grangers.
True Blue. —Tho Columbia Register
is a plucky sheet and .ought to be well
patronized. It is naturally very sick of
the compromise folly in South Carolina,
illustrated by Chamberlain’s absentee
ism, Parker’s flight, etc. It says: “Tho
Democrats of this State have compro
mised with the Republicans often
enough to teach them that there is no
hope of bettering their condition by
sacrificing any of their ground. To-day
they have the encouragement of Demo
cratic successes all over the country.
But three Southern States are now
under control of the Republican party,
out of tho entire South three or four
years ago. Take heart from these vic
tories, which seemed hard to accom
plish, and go to work earnestly and un
ceasingly for a grand Democratic
triumph in South Carolina. The effort
has never been made since 1868, and
now is the hour for action—prompt, un
tiring, never-failing action—upon a
simon-pure Democratic platform.”
Principles and Potatoes. Frank
Leslie’s paper makes these hard
thrusts at Duncan, Sherman & Cos.:
“If these transfers of property can be
satisfactorily explained; if the firm
have not been deliberately providing
for their own safety and comfort, while
they have been receiving and using
the money of others ; if Fifth Avenue
residences, and palaces on Staten
Island and at Newport are allowed to
go into stock to meet the claims of
creditors, it will be well. If otherwise
—if Duncan, Sherman & Cos. are simply
to discontinue banking and retire to
the full enjoyment of luxurious leisure
in palatial homes, both in town and
country, while their impoverished vic
tims are uncared for, there will be such
a tempest of popular indignation as
has not been heard in many a day.—
Already it seems sufficiently plain to
us that bankers should not be mer
chants. Such a combination of busi
ness is not good for themselves ; it is
unsafe for the public.”
Gone West. —A New Orleans boy
very recently took the advice of the
great and good Greeley and “went
West.” Prior to starting he robbed
his benefactor and employer of $2,300.
We would inform ambitious youths who
contemplate “going West,” that Mr.
Greeley did not insist upon a prelimi
pry effort at “going to the devil.”
Southern Lands and Crops—Can the
South Feed Herself?
A few days ago, we quoted from the
New Orleans Times a crushing answer
to a correspondent of its New York
namesake, concerning the possibilities
of the South as a self-sustaining coun
try. The same correspondent has been
still more triumphantly punctured by
another writer, as follows:
To the Editor of the New York Times:
Your correspondent “Gar,” in last Fri
day’s limes, while making valuable sug
gestions as to food and forage plants for
introduction in Louisiana and other of the
most Southern of the late slave States,
went altogether too far in his assertion
that Indian corn (maize) “will not grow in
a tropical climate,” and that Louisiana
must be included within the climates not
favorable for its growth. The present
writer has seen the best corn lands of
Ohio, Illinois and Missouri, and never saw
fields of that grain superior to those which
he has met on the lower Red river of
Louisiana, and better than which were
scarcely possible.
Further, the prairie lands of Central Mis
sissippi, as well as the Mississippi bottoms
within that State and on the opposite bank,
have shown as large a production of corn
to the acre as any part of Illinois. The
same may be said of large sections of Ala
bama—a State that produced 19,000,000
bushels of corn in 1871. As far back as 1830,
the production of corn in the State of Mis
sissippi was reported at 22,500,000 bushels,
and for 1872, that of Arkansas is officially
stated at 18,000,000 bushels. It may be
added that a very considerable part of
Northwestern Louisiana is adapted to the
growtli of wheat of a superior quality.
As for the general sweeping statement
of “Gar” that corn “will not grow in the
tropics,” it is made in the face of the whole
history of the plant, and was carelessly
adventured, after a common fashion, in
support of a theory. All travelers who
visit Mexico speak with admiration of the
corn-fields, “equal to those of Illinois,
which they have found growing in the Tierra
Calientes—whether on the Pacific coast,
around Colima, or southward in Oaxaca, or
on the Atlantic in Tobasco and Yucatan.
Columbus found corn growing luxuriantly
both in Cuba and Hayti, and the present
writer has seen two crops of it grown the
same year on the same ground in the for
mer island. Land which will produce su
gar cane will not fail to grow as good corn
as can be found anywhere in the United
States. The yield of corn in Mexico is fro
quently 200 for one grain planted! It be
longs to the same family, for that matter,
with the sugar cane; and, relatively,
Louisiana is better adapted to its growth
than for sugar cane, which plant does
not fully mature in the latitude of that
State, as "Gar” is probably aware. If corn
fields are not generally found in Louisiana
and in the tropics at least equal if not su
perior to any north of the Ohio river, it is
not becaus j of defect in climate and soil,
but for the reason that the same care is not
given to the quality of seed nor to tillage,
while the labor of the country can be more
profitably employed. As fine cotton and
as much to the acre can be grown in many
parts of Brazil as in Texas, yet in the ab
sence of cheap freightage, cotton culture is
not nearly so profitable there as that of
either coffee or tapioca, with which the
planters, therefore, occupy their fields in
preference.
“Among “Gar’s” suggestions ho should
have included the general introduction of
the banana in Southern and Central Louisi
ana, where I am very sure the plant would
thrive, for it ascends with, or even higher
than, the sugar-cane, to the uplands of
Mexico, to an elevation of 5,150 feet. Ac
cording t) Humboldt, of all food plants,
the banana will support the most life upon
the same space of ground cultivated.
T. J.
New York. Thursdav. August 5.1875.
\V e see it stated as a tact that La
fourche parish, in Louisiana, which
formerly bought Western corn in New
Orleans to the tune of $300,000 per an
num has, this year, not only cut off
that supply but made enough grain to
feed herself and export to the city from
which she formerly drew supplies at
second hand. Galveston, Texas, in
stead of shipping corn to the interior,
has become a shipper of that cereal to
Europe. We are informed by one of
our most eminent merchants that his
last advices from Chicago state that
the grain market was depressed in con
sequence of reported shipments from
Texas. Ay; the South can feed herself
and ought to do so, to a great degree.
It is the desire of the East and West
that we should raise cheap cotton and
purchase dear meat and corn; but the
planter who plays into the hands of his
enemy is not only a foe to his own wel
fare but to his section.
Time Revenges.— The failure of Dun
can, Sherman & Cos., in consequence of the
rofusal of the Bakings of London to pro
tect their paper any longer, recalls a cir
cumstance of like character, in which the
collapsed house figured in old times. Dun
can, Sherman & Cos., twenty years ago,
were pi otecting in the same manner the
house of Page & Bacon. At 3 o’clock
three hours after the California steamer
had sailed from New York, and without
warning—they announced to protect Page
& Bacon’s paper no longer, though Mr.
Page (of course by their full knowledge)
had come out here for a half million, and
got it. The announcement broke down
Page, Bacon &, Cos. here. The half million,
which would have saved the house here,
failed to re-establish the house of Page &
Bacon at the East. It would seem, there
fore, that the treatment which Duncan,
Sherman & Cos. served out on that occasion
to Page & Bacon lias fallen on them now
at the hands of the Barings.— San bran
cisco Bulletin.
The kickee of to-day frequently be
comes the kicker of to-morrow. Men
who make vainglorious boasts this year
may have to eat humble pie twelve
months hence.
Mr. Robert Wilson, of this place, has
an interesting little son, who represents
the fifth generation of his family. Himself,
his father, grandfather, great-grandfather
and great-great-grandfather are now liv
ing, thus constituting the five links of the
geneological chain.— bayetteville Express.
We should say that nothing short of
a cyclone, an epidemic or a steamboat
explosion, with all the family on board,
could extirpate that sturdy breed of
men and women.
Hard Times.— Referring to the testi
mony of Mr. J. A. North as to com
mercial depression in the States be
yond us, the Columbus Times declares
that the same testimony is furnished
by one of the most prominent bank
officers in Columbus, who returned
from New York a short time since.
Aha!— And now we perceive that a
number of our contemporaries, outside
the State of Georgia, inform the world
that General H. Y. Johnson is a promi
nent candidate for Governor. In
Washington, last Winter, Mr. Stephens
was often addressed as “Colonel” and
“Governor.”
Infrangible Glass—lts Possibilities.
We have already printed an account of
anew discovery by which glass is made
unbreakable. If the discovery is a per
fected one, it will become one of the
most useful ever given to mankind and
open the way to a thousand benefac
tions. An exchange refers to the mat
ter thus :
The increased strength which is given to
ordinary glass by M. De la Bastie’s olea
ginous bath will make it available for wat
er pipes, vats and many other receptacles
of liquids where metals only thus far have
been used, very often most unsatisfactori
ly. The toughness of the tempered glass
is so great that a plate can be thrown with
violence on the floor without breaking. A
piece one-eighth of an inch in thickness
will bear the weight of a man, and the
chimneys of gas-burners and lamps are not
affected by the heat, which rarely fails to
break common ones. The l esistance of the
prepared material to frost has not yet been
thoroughly tested.
It can be enameled so as to resemble or
dinary crockery, and, being unbreakable,
will be a great saving to families. The ex
act process of making it is yet a secret. It
is known that the bath in which it is
plunged is composed of different fatty sub
stances, but their proportions and the de
gree of heat applied are kept private. The
temperature is a very high one, the glass
being heated to the point of softening, and
likely to set the fat on fire. This is pre
vented by excluding air from the bath, and
the shock of the fall—for the glass is too
hot to be handled carefully—is avoided by
interposing a sheet of wire gauze or asbes
tos cloth. The inventor had to overcome
many difficulties at first, and though he ap
pears to have surmounted them, lus dis
covery is probably in its Infancy.
We are told that Mr. De la Bastie’s
project is not a novel one, but failed to
be of any practical use. If may be
that the crude principle of hardening
glass was known even to the ancients;
but, from current reports, the ingenious
Frenchman has overcome all obstacles
in the way of applying the discovery,
whether old or new, to the common
wants of life. We hopo so at all
events.
O’Hagan. —Lord O’Hagan, whose
eulogy of O’Connell fared so badly at
the hands of the Finnegans, who ap
parently do not like “free speech,” isan
ex-Lord High Chancellor of Ireland,
the first Roman Catholic appointed to
that position in modern times. His
peerage dates from 1870. He is an em
inent lawyer and 65 years of age.
Reading Out. —A friend asks us why
we do not “read the New York World
out of the Democratic party.” In the
first place it is not our business to do
any thing of the sort; and, in the sec
ond place, many persons are of opinion
that the World has saved everybody
the trouble, long ago, by reading itself
out.
Rowell. —The New Orleans Picayune
is, as the French say, diable en colere
with Messrs. G. P. Rowell & Co.’s Ameri
can Newspaper Directory for 1875. The
Pic. claims that G. P. R. & Cos. have
discounted the estimate of circulation
50 per cent.
Moody and Sankey.— The Philadel
phia Times rejoices that Messrs. Moody
and Sankey will endeavor to give Wash
ington—the modern Sodom—a thor
ough spiritual purification, before the
accession of the Democratic House of
Letters of Credit.— Any one would
suppose that a vast amount was at
stake in Duncan, Sherman & Co.’s circu
lar notes. The letters in all were only
650, amounting to SIOO,OOO, and against
60 of these only had cash been de
posited.
High Salaries. —The Columbus En
quirer is still of the opinion, and justly
so, that this is not the time to raise
the salaries of judges of the Supreme
Court or any other officials in Georgia.
Constitutional.— Dr. Croke, in the
Dublin cathedral, iu his eulogy of O’Con
nell, spoke of the English constitution
as “llio best balanced in the world.”
True. —The Richmond Enquirer aptly
says that Andrew Johnson was quite
as much a wife-made as a self-made
man.
Crops. —Tho grain crops of lowa,
Wisconsin and Minnesota are reported
as magnificent.
Morrissey and Ilis Wife.
Writing about gambling at Saratoga,
George Alfred Townsend describes one
of John Morrissey’s partners who has
been in the business ever since 1848.
This man is of large, powerful, slow
spoken parts, without domestic airs or
cunning, poorly educated, and of a
grave, unobservant, kindly nature. He
spends no unnecessary time at the gam
ing house, and has nothing to do with
the turf or the pool room. He is only
a gaming capitalist, knowing no other
occupation. Every moment of time he
has to spare from the club house is
spent in his elegant private residence,
where he has spent fifty thousand
dollars. It is known to all strangers
in Saratoga by a fighting gladia
tor and an Apollo Belvidere on
the lawn ; by his simple but perfect
stable, fine carriage horses, litter of
Skye terriers (some of which are worth
S2OO a piece), and great guard dogs
which gambol over the grass. No one
in Saratoga sees Morrissey with his
wife, but his partner is seldom seen in
public without being accompanied by
their children, all riding in a high box
wagon, the head of the family with the
reins, the pair of nags nearly thorough
breds. The wife is a woman of liter
ary tastes, fond of history, and at one
time, when their affairs were lowest,
she wrote for the newspapers to keep
the pot boiling. Six children, the rem
nant, well dressed and well bred, orna
ment their pleasant home. The father
is now one of the foremost and least
conspicuous gamblers in America.
The Providence (R. I.) Journal points
out the fact that Mr. Longfellow has
made an error in attributing the title of
his noble Commencement poem, “Mori
turi Salutamus,” to the gladiatorial
combats in the Roman arena—the same
mistake which was made by Gerome in
naming his great gladiatorial picture.
Instead of its being the “gladiators’
cry.” “face to face with the Roman
populace,” the Journal shows, by refer
ence to Tacitus, Suetonius and Dion
Cassius, that the real scene was not a
gladiatorial combat, but a sea fight,
and no ordinary one either, but the
great Naumachia, exhibited by the Em
peror on the Lacus Lucinus, the modern
Lago di Lucino.
When we see a girl who won’t give
her fellow a lock of her hair, we come
to the conclusion right off that she’s
only got one switch, and can’t have a
new one until fall. —Fulton Times.
