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.
