THE CONSTITUTIONALIST TUESDAY, August 57, 1875. The “Bloody Shirt” — Morton & Cos. Ou the War Path—Pin-Back De mocracy. The speech of Senator Morton, the other day, in Ohio, was no doubt a key note of the Republican campaign for 1876. He “went back” upon his former utterances about the currency question with the same facility that he turned up, in 1861, as a renegade from De mocracy. The staple of his harangue was denunciation of the South and her sympathizers in the str iggle for Con stitutional Liberty against Radical des potism and consolidation. He exhibit ed the “bloody shirt,” recently packed away in ex-Attorney General Williams’ trunk, and is manifestly in favor of galvanizing the “Southern Outrage Committee” and all the rusty machinery of slander and lies, which worked so badly just before the “tidal wave” Democratic triumphs. Take from Morton his malice and faculty of misstatement and he has no more attractiveness than a plucked Shang hai rooster. But armed with these weapons, and backed by a Re publican press that insists upon put ting Jefferson Davis forward as a can didate for the Presidency and re-open ing the dead issue of secession, he has much power for mischief with ignorant rustics and the Grand Army of the Re public. Morton’s main effort is to demonstrate that the surrender of the Confederacy was not in good faith; that a return of the Democracy to power in 1876 means another “rebel lion;” and that life is so insecure in the South that a Republican can not go there without being in constant danger of death. Hon. A. H. Stephens is set up as the principal target of this man’s vengeful diatribes against the Southern people. What has Mr. Ste phens over said or done, since the war, that was not in a line with the Consti tution of the country? When has he ever advised the people against the laws of the United States? When has he ceased warning his hearers that “ the price of liberty is obedience to the law ?” Some of the so-called De mocratic papers in the Middle States are begging the question by repudiat ing Mr. Stephens as a representative Southern man, and therefore not a fair example of the temper of his people. It is true that Mr. Stephens, like all positive men, has not always been in accord with many of the people of the South; but, to his dying day, he will be recognized, even by his hottest and most unrelenting enemy, as the em bodiment of true conservatism and the uncompromising foe of violence of every kind and character. If the weak kneed, temporizing and pin-back press of the Border States were half as true to Democracy, to Constitutional liberty and to the best interests of the whole country as Alexander 11. Stephens, they would not have to make apologies to Morton, and thus encourage him and his followers to press their slan derous programme. These pin-back Democrats should remember that the only utterances any of the party at the South ever “repudiated” were those deprecating a war on Grant, instead of on Congress, aud, in some quarters, his earnest and enthusiastic appeals for a general reconciliation of the sections at the grand Centennial of the 4th of July, 1876, at Philadelphia. We can very well understand why Morton should bo so savage in attacking Mr. Stephens, be cause it is by our following the plan of the Sage of Liberty Hall that the Rad ical monster will be brought low. If there is anything a Radical like Mor ton abominates and fears, it is a recon ciliation of the sections on principles of justice and fraternity. If there is one thing he specially abhors it is that this reconciliation may take place ou the 4th of July next at Philadelphia. Hence he begins to cast his firebrands in ad vance, and proclaims that the Centen nial shall be under Republican auspices. We repeat, then, that Morton’s abuse of Mr. Stephens, and through him the whole South, is not difficult of compre hension ; but of all the gigantic absurdities in the world, commend us to that committed by the so-called Democratic presses whose con ductors are unintentionally seeking to strengthen Morton by depreciating Mr. Stephens. This is on a par with the Baltimore Gazette, which, mounted on a currency hobby, not only strives for the demoralization of the Ohio Democ racy, but frankly confesses that Al len’s overthrow will be a sweet morsel to roll under a hard money theorist’s tongue. We advise our “Conservative” con temporaries to omit their onslaughts upon Mr. Stephens while attacking Morton. The grand principle insisted upon by Mr. Stephens is that the cam paign of 1876 shall turn upon whether a State of this Union has not some re served rights not under the control of the Federal Government, or, in plain terms, whether this is a Government founded upon the Federa tive principle or upon the Oriental policy of centralized power. In that view the overwhelming voice of the South backs him up, however differ ing upon minor issues ; and if the Democracy of the Border States can not endorse this utterance, but re pudiate it and its apostle, woe to them and to their posterity! Sjch a betrayal of trust will recoil upon them, aDd the Grants and Mortons, instead of being at the end of their reign have just commenced to flourish. The Press.— Seemingly independent, and sometimes really so, the press can afford only to mount the cresting wave, not go beyond it. The editor might as well shoot his reader with a bullet as with a new idea. [Laughter and cheers.] He must hit the exact line of the opinion of the jay.— Wendell Phillips. If the press had let Wendell Phil lips severely alone, his “ideas” might bave done less harm, and the viper might even have stung himself to death. It would seem, however, that „ n editor occasionally has an idea that “omebody does not like, for one of the craft, Cabbcth, in even now going about with a testimonial to that effeot-a bul jft in bis brain. Butler’s New Departure. Whenever a Southern man, like Gen. Pres'jpn, for example, has been dis posed to deny that Plymouth Rock civilization was worthy of respect or imitation, a howl proceeds from the Puritan choir which shakes the conti nent. Now Hon. Ben O’Butler comes forward and throws Gen. Preston com pletely into shadow. Here is what he said at the O’Connell celebration at Boston : Much has been said of Plymouth Rock* You will allow me to say, in the words of another, without offence to Irishmen, that that Plymouth Rock is the blarney stone of America. [Great applause and laughter.] Your sweet woman poet, Mrs. Memans, has said that our fathers sought and there they found freedom to worship God. Oh, no! that is exactly what they didn’t seek. They sought for freedom to worship God as they desired, and for the right to prevent anybody else from worshipping God in any other way. [Laughter]. And they whipped the Quakers and drove out the Baptists, and made the Episcopalians take back seats, because they felt that they were going straight to hell lire and eternal dam nation. [Laughter.] And Benjamin might have continued the parallel from the landiDg of the Mayflower’s cargo down to the present day, just as Gen. Preston did. Afoot ball has been made of the negro, just as it was made of the Indian. The same intolerance and grasping bigotry that existed in religion, many years ago, existed in 1860-65 when the con science of tlm South was supposed to be in the keeping of the Beechers, the Stowes and that kind of cattle. It must be observed, as a singular paradox, that whereas the Carolina statesman’s arraignment of the original Puritan was received with mad execrations, the stinging repetition of the same fact is welcomed with “laughter” in the very citadel of Puritanism itself. If Gen. Preston has patiently awaited for a Nemesis, lo that divinity has come in the masquerade of a Butler. Verily, we think the timid Faculty of the Uni versity of Virginia “went off half cock ed.” Beecher. —The failure of J. B. Ford& Cos., publishers, is said to be one of the results of the Beecher-Tilton trial, which, as Sam Wilkeson conjectured, would “knock the ‘Life of Christ’ high er than a kite.” The New York Sun has this pungent paragraph about the mat ter : “You would be surprised,” said one of his church members, in an excusatory way, to a reporter, “to know how irksome it is for Mr. Beecher to write. Ho hates the labor of using a pen, and while he could talk and talk all day with pleasure, he would be pes tered to death if he had to write. He has frequently put off writing for Mr. Bonner until the last minute, aud thon dashed off something which came into his head and was worth reading because he had his name to it. He knows the printers’ cry for ‘copy,’ fur he has written the ‘Life or Christ’ under the habitual prodding of Mr. Ford, and ho has often had to write while the messenger waited for his manuscript.” Mr. Beecher is said to have made another promise to begin to labor diligently on the last third of the second volume of the “Life of Christ” when he returns in the Fall. Some men are said to “crucify their Lord anew.” If Beecher is not a boss specimen of that kind of criminal we would like to know who is ? Brownlow.— The Knoxville Chronicle, Parson Brownlow’s paper, recently be gan an article in this fashion : Of all communities on the globe, the peo ple of the Southern States ought now lo feel the greatest prejudice against human slavery as it existed here up to the com mencement of tho iato war. Its existence was a curse to ou r people, and there is no telling when wo will recover from its evil influences. Willingham, of tho Rome Courier, who has a microscopic eye for the de tection of inconsistences, calls atten tion to the fact that, somo years ago, Brownlow poured out a stream of ven om and curses, enough to float a ship, on Abolitionists, and especially on the writer of Uncle Tom's Cabin. He re members “that the.’Pa v son not only denounced that work, but that his ridi cule of Harriet’s personal appearance was withering. lie said that she had ‘ enough beef on her ankles to feed a litter of hound pups.’ ” We pity Wil lingham when old Brov nlow sees that reminiscence in print. Sepulchral. —A movement has been started at the Federal Capital “having for its purpose to petition Congress at its next session to appropriate a suffi cient sum to disinter the remains of all the deceased Presidents of the United States, remove them to Mount Vernon and reinter them in mausoleums for each one in a circle round the tomb of Washington. The reason given for this movement is that some of the -Presidents are ‘laid now in obscure, un adorned and neglected graves.’” We would suggest, as an amen dmeat, that all dead Presidents, since Buchanan’s time, should have a separate burial place. G. W. might not feel comfortable in company with some of his latter day successors. __ Dry Goods.— The New York Inde pendent states the Dry Goods situation as follows: “There are some kind of cotton goods which are lower than they have been at any time since the war, and the temptations to buy large ly are very strong. The future shrink age, if there should be any at all, can not be ruinous, for the point has been reached in most descriptions of cotton and woolen goods at which manufac turing ceases to be profitable, aud when that is the case production ceases altogether. The general conditions of the markets aro acknowledged on all hands to be sound, and if an immedi ate revival of activity should not take place a collapse is not antic! pated by any one.” Planting.— A Southern planter has figured out that, after making his crop, principally cotton, he realized a total profit of §378.36. He says this is a much better showing than the average, because he did not borrow any money at ruinous rates of interest. Perhaps this exhibit may account for the pov erty of men who have cotton on the brain. ________ Collie. —Messrs. Collie & Co.’s lia bilities are §10,000,000 ; assets, §1,250,- 000. They lived on the public at the rate of §50,000 per annum for each partner. Crimes at the North and South—A Hint to Hypocrites. The “ bloody shirt ” speech of Sena tor Morton will be followed by the echoing yelp of Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart of the Radical press and party. The Cincinnati Gazette has al ready come to the front and thus speaks : Democratic and Greeleyite papers, the New York Tribune among the number, have been very prompt to assert that Senator Morton’s “ bloody shirt ” utterances—that is his exposure of the very unsettled con dition of the South—had no effect on the listeners to his recent speech. Southern outrages, they would have their readers be lieve, are so thoroughly things of the past that even a bugaboo cry can not be raised over them. It would be gratifying to all lovers of peace if this were the fact, but, unfortunately, the Southern papers come to us with abundant records of crime. There is too much crime unfortu nately in all the land, but the South is not the only or chief offender. Our ex changes from the East and West come laden with accounts of bloody and shocking atrocities, many of them too indecent to print. In Williamson coun ty, Illinois, a reign of terror exists, and murders aro so frequent that families are fleeing from that accursed spot. The New York papers are calling at tention to another reign of terror in the mining districts of Pennsylvania. Massachusetts and other Eastern jour nals are fairly stuffed with records of robbery and outrage. The Herald says: In some parts of Massachusetts this evil has become so serious that the town and county authorities are forced to use extra ordinary means for the protection of the people. For somo weeks past the shores of the Hudson river have also been infested by tramps, and the country roads on both sides of the river, especially about Pough keepsie, Hudson and Peekskiil, are report ed to abound with such vagabonds, most of them stout, able-bodied men, who pretend to beg, but are, in a majority of eases, ruf fians, and often burglars, spying out fa vorable places for robbery and midnight ent‘ y. About Poughkeepsie, if we may believe the telegraphic reports, there exists a band of such creatures, who have begun brigand ageas a business; and one of them, who calls himself “the Captain,” has even writ ten a letter to a citizen, demanding a contri bution of live hundred dollars, threatening that if this sum were not laid—in a white paper parcel—in a certain place at a speci fied time his house would be robbed. It would not be difficult "to fill our paper from day to day with details of Northern wickedness aud sins crying to heaven for vengeance. Against this unhallowed and tremendous record, the list of Southern crimes would bo dwarfed almost into nothingness, de spite the fact that our brethren of the East and West have forced upon us a state of society which is little less than one of their own champions de termined it should be—“an organized hell!” So much for Morton and his bloody shirt followers! Protection. —One of the great New England manufacturers, Mr. Edward Atkinson, writes to Harper's Magazine that those special branches of indus try which aro now the most depressed are the most protected by the Govern ment. The Chicago Tribune, alluding to this statement, says : “Senator Mor rill, of Vermont, the father of the ex isting ultra tariff, admitted on the floor of Congress since the close of the re bellion that in the years 1859 and 1860 the manufacturing industry of this country enjoyed its greatest degree of prosperity, which shows that a high tariff is not necessary to the prosperity of domestic manufactures. Morrill voted for the reduction of the tariff of 1846. He said that ‘any bill which would have the effect to reduce the then excessive revenues would receive his vote."’ * * * If a high tariff is conducive and requisite to the pros perity of the country, it is not a little singular that we had the terrible finan cial panic of 1873, after twelve years of ultra tariff, and in the midst of the highest protective duties of any civil ized nation in the world. As to the effect of the panic on the protected branches of manufacture, Pig-Iron Kelley’s speeches draw a more fright ful picture than anything we are able to write. He demonstrates very clearly that ‘protection’ does not protect.” x Colored £)dd Fellows. —The Char lotte Observer waxes very wroth over the growth of negro Masonic and Odd Fellow Lodges. Tho editor says : “As the writer is not an Odd Fellow, we do not know what the law of that organiza tion is inregard to emancipated slaves; but we know that it is against Masonic law to admit an emancipated slave whatever his color, into the Order. Yet, hypocritical Yankee and meddlesome English fanatical Masons have, for par tisan purposes, organized Masonic Lodges of emancipated slaves in defi ance of Masonic law, and we should not be surprised if the same is being done as regards the Odd Fellows - ” Question and Answer. The N. Y. Journal of Commerce, of the 9th inst., has this item : A “Subscriber’s Clerk,” in East Twenty third street, appears to have been victimiz ed by a lawyer whom he had employed, and asks if he can not recover. It is an unpro fitable business suing a lawyer for a small sum, and the result doubtful. The best way to punish him, if he deserves it, is to insti tute proceedings to disbar him for dishon est or unprofessional conduct. What it Costs. —The Fall river (Mass.) factory operatives, having de cided to take a vacation of 30 days, the Courier-Journal figures up tho cost thus: There are 43 mills at Fall river, running 30,000 looms and 1,250,000 spin dles. The pay-rolls monthly distribute §500,000 among people who need it. Pap. —A writer in the Gainosville Eagle attempts to prove that Mother Georgia has too many *pap-suckers. We dare say he will give us a second communication to show that there is no immediate urgency of increasing salaries. ( Corn. —The popular idea at home and abroad is that the South can not grow corn worth having; but farmers in Carroll parish, La., contrive to raise from 50 to 60 bushels to tho acre. The New York Herald Bennett waited two days, while in Europe, for the Prince of Wales to call on him. The Prince didn t appear, and Bennett telegraphed home: “ Give the whole English Government thunder."
