THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
WEDNESDAY, August 18, 1875.
Our Beloved Brethren—A Blue Mass
Pill for the Centennial.
We fear, we very much fear, that the
pretense of “shaking hands over the
bloody chasm” is a mastodonic sham
and hypocrisy among large numbers of
people in this country. Whether Jef
ferson Davis shall or shall not accept
Anally the invitation to address the
Rock'ord (111.) Fair Association, we
have small care ; but the thanks of the
“nation” are due him for exposing one
of the hollowest pretenses ever palmed
off upon a confiding people. No doubt
the Committee of Invitation were sin
cere in their desire to have Mr. Davis
among them, and listen curiously to a
dissertation on prize pigs and grass
hopper ravages ; and no doubt there is
a small element, not in sympathy with
the Grand Army of the Republic,
very eager indeed for the pleasant
ways of peace and good will
hut, from all appearances, the majority
among the Winnebago savages may be
set down as inimical to the South as
when the land was deluged with blood,
and passion ran riot to the disgust of
reason. We read that Mr. Davis’ letter
to the Rockford bucolics has set the
hornets in motion, and that “the ex
citement occasioned by the announce
ment has been growing since Monday,
and now assumes an indignation that
will not bo easily allayed, unless he
cancels his engagement.” It is also
said that “a number of the Winnebago
county towns are.already up in arms,
an l resolutions of the most threaten
ing character are being passed. A cor
respondent from Roscoe writes to the
Rockford Gazette: ‘Our people are
unanimous in condemnation of the in
sult, and have not been so stirred up
by any event since the close of the
war. The farmers declare they will
bolt the fair if Jeff Davis comes.’ The
manufacturers of Rockford doclare
they will send nothing to the fair.”
The position of Mr. Davis is peculiar
and delicate. He has one of two
courses to pursue: Either to withdraw
from the unequal contest and the rage
of bigots and blockheads, or else stand
firm and compel the committee of in
vitation to write him a second letter
reluctantly confessing that they cannot
endure the outside pressure and must
ask him to stay at home. In either
event, what a pitiful plight must these
farmers submit to ! They will be held
up to the country as men who prate of
free speech and fail to practice what
they preach; they will be unmasked
as men who are over-anxious
to sell the South their provision
crops, but hate with an undying hatred
the men who purchase their commodi
ties ; they will be self-branded as hyp
ocrites who sing Centennial hymns
while their hearts belie their voices ;
they.will bo lugged to the front as in
dividuals who profess to “shake hands
over the bloody chasm,” while, in real
ity, they would be-delighted to cross
that abyss upon the corpses of Southern
men and women. Thank God, we
know them at last, and we will be the
most sodden and contemptible of fools,
if we do not profit by our experience.
Not by uncharitable words, however,
must those Western farmers be an
swered, but by deeds that tell. It is in
the power of Southern planters or far
mers, as well as Southern com
mission merchants, to give those bar
barians a check they will not easily
forget, and one, too, that cannot fail to
take the wind out of their bravado, if
it should fail to exorcise the devil from
their souls. Our merchants may as
well mark these Winnebago farmers,
and refuse to trade with them or with
those who buy their produce to sell
again. Our farmers or planters, heark
ening to the sound counsel of Gov.
Smith, should make, as far as may be,
their own provisions, and let the West
dispose of her hogs and corn else
where. That is the way to treat them
so as to do some good. But if the
merchants and planters of the South
are so unpatriotic or unmanly as not
only to accept the curses of these fel
lows, but help thorn to curse all the more
effectually, low indeed have they sunk
into degradation, and, as Gen. Freston
mournfully observed of his own State,
after having made his University of
Virginia address, “the mistake is in not
conceiving into what a gulf of humilia
tion and abjectness the once proud peo-
pie of the South have fallen.” But, be this
as it may, we thank the Rockford Com
mittee aud Jefferson Davis for pene
trating a gigantic imposture and punc
turing a bloated lie. Now that Ben.
Butler has conceded the hideous civil
ization of the original Puritans, and
their descendants in Rockford, 111.,
have illustrated the truth of their en
during and pestilent theories, the Fac
ulty of the University of Virginia
should hang their heads in shame, and
General Preston may give his true
words to the world with a sublime im
punity.

Flogging Criminals.— And now comes
the “canny Scot” and demands that
criminals be punished with the cat-o’-
nine-tails. We read that it has been
all but unanimously resolved by the
Town Council of Glasgow to “memo
rialise the Government, through the
Lord Advocate, to extend to Scotland
the powers of punishing by the lash
the crimes of robbery from the person
hy violence, the’offence of wife-beating,
all offences in which the knife is used,
and persons who are notoriously pro
fessional thieves, and who have been
convicted of theft for the third time.”
A local paper says: “There can be no
doubt that the Lord Provost’s motion
’fte above effect has the sympathy
ot the mass of our citizens, as well as
of the Councillors who carried it. The
frightful brutality which has been be
coming more intolerable all over the
country day by day, has set people
thinking of how it can best be sup
pressed.”
Toned Down.— After drowning thou
sands of French people by the over
flow of the Garonne, foreign advices
now show that the total loss of life in
the inundated districts was not over
j,hrefe hundred.
Spiritual Faces—How They May he
Utilized.
On Sunday last, we published a re
markable account of spiritual mani
festations in which a “materalized” face
was tested with a rifle ball. The
failure of the bullet to make an im
pression on the face has given the
wonder-workers anew lift and, until
the trick, if it be a trick, suffers by ex
posure, the mediums or jugglers can
claim something of a rally from their
recent discomfitures. The New York
Times strives to break the force of this
extraordinary manifestation, by addu
cing examples of juggling equally as
tounding, and then humorously sug
gesting how, if true, these phenomena
may be practically employed. It says :
“ Even if this incident really occurred
precisely as we are told that it
did, it would not prove that a real
ghost was shot at by the rifleman,
any more than the fact that
Houdin permitted a troop of Arabs to
shoot at him, and apparently caught
their bullets in his teeth, proved that
the French juggler was an invulnerable
ghost. It, however, is important, since
it opens anew field of amusement to
our riflemen. Meehanical ingenuity
has in vain tried to devise a target
which should accurately imitate the
movements of a living man. The ma
terialized ghost supplies just this sort
of target which the rifleman desires.
Moreover, the professed ability of the
medium to summon just such gho9ts as
may be ordered, will enable the riflemen
to combine business and pleasure. Patri
otic Americans, filled with the enthusi
asm of the Centennial year, can sum
mon up the ghost of Benedict Arnold
and wing him with Remington bullets
as ho Hits uneasily across tho window
of the materializing cabinet. French
men will, of course, prefer to pepper
the ghosts of Prussians, while the mem
bers of the Irish team will naturally
practice with the ghost of Oliver Crom
well as their target. Tho Western
rifleman would doubtless regard the
late Capt. Jack, the hero of the Modoc
war, as the best possible target for a
rifle which ho might wish to accustom
to the work of improving the red man
off the Black Hills Reservation; and in
all parts of the world we should find
married men grimly practicing at a
severe and solemn type of ghost clad
in black bombazine, and stil bear
ing a materialized morally impressive
gingham umbrella. There can be
no doubt that the new style
of target will greatly add to the inter
est of rifle-shooting. Of course, the
ghosts can have no objection to thus
making themselves useful; and, in
deed, any intelligent spirit would much
prefer to be shot at than to grin from
a narrow window, or even to strut si
lently on a platform in the presence of
an audience of ordinary Spiritualists.
Still, the fashion of shootiDg at * mate
rialized ’ spirits will make the * materi
alizing ’ business a dangerous one for
the medium who is addicted to impos
ture. Had a rifle-bullet been fired at
Katie King, she would never again
have feasted on beef steak and onions,
and it is quite possible that iu propor
tion as people become addicted to
shooting at ghosts, tho ability of the
latter to ‘ materialize ’ themselv es will
disappear.”
A Sine Qua Non —The South’s Answer
to Northern Intolerance.
The New York Herald closes a long
article on the politico-financial situa
tion as follows :
Before we can return to prosperous
times; before the laborers of the country
cqn be once more fully employed; before
trade can revive and industry go ahead
freely, we must have stability; and that
wo cannot have until the South is at rest
and content, and the value of a dollar is
fixed. Specie payments and a settlement
of the Southern question can alone give us
the certainty which will start new enter
prises and unlock the safes of capitalists.
There is no other road to renewed pros
perity ; there is no other way out of a dry
rot. The country is ready enough to go, but
it waits to see what lies in the future.
And it is right to wait. No prudent
capitalists to-day can see anything but
real estate in which he can safely invest,
and that only where it is cheap and he can
make it productive. Why should he ven
ture his money in any other direction when
he does not know whether his dollar will
be worth ninety or fifty cents a year from
now—when he is imperatively assured by
statesmen and journalists that wo may
have anew war at any time? But one
thing is cei'taln: just as soon as we have
attained stability the country is ready to
go ahead. It has the means; it does not
lack accumulated wealth, though much of
it has been swept away. Nor does it lack
the power of very rapidly producing more.
The South will never “ be at rest and
content ” so long as Morton and his
bloody shirt battalions are kept in
power and place by the North. Had
the South been permitted to work out
her own salvation in her own way,
just after the war, specie payments
would be much nearer to a consumma
tion than they are at present. Recon
struction infamies have postponed the
fixity of values indefinitely, and no
man can see the end of Sumner’s and
Thad Stevens’ conspiracy. The last
thing the South thinks of is “ anew
war.” What she really studios is
how to deliver herself from Northern
thraldom commercially. The Herald
is right in asserting that prosperity in
trade depends upon stability in the
social and political order. But whilo
Morton brandishes his tomahawk and
the Western Radical press imitate
howling Dervishes when confronted
with the very name of Jefferson Davis,
there can be no tranquillity and there
fore no true happiness or genuine
wealth-production. Luckily, the South
can stand this thing longer than the
North. We are habituated to suffer
ing and experience is teaching us that
a practice of self-denial and self-de
pendence is a more potent weapon
against our adversary than an army
with banners. We would gladly be
friends with the Northern people and
help restore the country to good morals
and a sound currency basis, but if they
prefer to cultivate an angry peace and
an insane, suicidal policy, so be it. Lay
on, McDuff !

The Wealth of France—How it "Was
Obtained—A Charming Prospect for
Americans.
The New York Day Book undertakes,
with a few clean strokes of the pen, to
show its readers how the wealth of
France has been obtained, and with
what apparent ease the German indem
nity has been paid, without loss of
credit, but, on the contrary, with an in
crease of prestige and commercial
prospeiity. The Day Book says :
“ Elsewhere in Europe, as in France
before the great revolution, the land
was all owned by a few great proprie
tors, and the people, both men and wo
men, working in the field from ten to
sixteen hours, and living on black
bread, meat only on Sunday, and the
coarsest and cheapest clothing, of
course the margin of profit was enor
mous, all of which went into the hands
of the great proprietors. The revolu
tion confiscated the estates of the emi
grant nobility, and the land, cut up
into small farms, there are now
four millions of land proprietors,
who, with the same habits, and
the frugality and hard work of
the ‘ ancien regime ,’ of course reap all
the profits, which are enormous, and
render the French people the wealthi
est, indeed the only rich people the
world ever saw. Our own working
people, save the increase of their lands,
never had any surplus, for owing the
land themselves, they consumed the
annual profits. Now, however, to pay
the interest to tho foreign bondholder,
they 7 must work, as iu France, sixteen
hours a day, and meat once a week,
but even then it is doubtful if they can
create sufficient surplus to pay the for
eign interest. Think of that, you toil
ers!—black bread, meat once a week,
and sixteen hours a day, or consent to
setting Sambo to work again to help
you pay tiiese taxes.”
If that be a just comparison and a
true statement of the relative positions
of French and American tax-payers,
no prophet need come from the dead to
predict that the bondholders must
either “let up” on the toiling masses or
else the toiling masses, instructed by
Republican legislation outside the Con
stitution and witnesses of the violation
of tho laws of God and man by Radical
misrule, will make some desperate
struggles before they get down to the
hard pan of black bread daily and meat
once a week, on Sunday.
Jacques Cartier’s Bank—How Figures
Can Lie Enormously.
The monetary sensation of the day
in Canada is the failure of Jacques
Cartier’s bank at Montreal. Quite as
much rottenness in management has
been developed in the Dominion as in
the United States. The Cashier, Mr.
Cotte, seems to have been principally
to blame, and his duplicity is some
thing astounding. The Montreal Wit
ness sums up tho case in this fashion :
“That a bank official should swear that
the bank had S 120,000 in specie when it had
less than $3,500, is inexplicable, and cannot
be accounted for by Mr. Cotte’s averment
that he had been self-deceived through la
boring under heavy r sponsibilities and
anxieties. The iarge amount stated to be
due from foreign bankers, when the balance
was really the other way, the statement of
the deposits at three times their amount,
and the averment that there was a reserve
fund of $275,000. when $185,000 of the amount
was in bills so long past due as to be out
lawed, could not have been unwittingly
made by any banker in his senses, and Mr.
Cotte has certainly never appeared to be
deprived of his. The probabilities in favor
of saving anything out of the wreck do
not seem bright, as when $185,000 of out
lawed bills are returned as assets, the
SOOO,OOO past due bills and the $702,000 over
drawn accounts would not seem likely to
yield much, while the large amount ad
vanced to the Northern Colonization Rail
way is undoubtedly locked up for some
time to come.”
The world is evidently “very much
given to lying,” and Diogenes would
have to take considerable exercise in
finding a perfectly honest man, espe
cially among those who handle other
people’s money.
The Savannah Civil Rights Case.
On Monday last, U. S. Commissioner
Wilson delivered his decision, in Sa
vannah, in the case of the United States
vs. Geo. W. Alley— violation of the
Civil Rights Act fiuding probable
cause to conclude Alley guilty of the
offence charged, and holding him to
bail in the sum of SI,OOO to answer at
the November term of the U. S. Circuit
Court. Alley, who is Assistant Super
intendent of the Savannah, Skidaway
aud Seaboard Railway, was charged by
a negro named Pollard with ejecting
him and his wife from the first class
car of that road, on the sth of August
last, after complainant had purchased
two first class tickets. As the evidence
showed that the train upon that day
consisted of three cars, first a sec
ond class car, then a first
class car for negroes, having
first class tickets, and lastly,
a first-class car for white persons hav
ing first-class tickets, and that Alley
simply required Pollard and his wife
to remove from this last named car in
which they had ensconced themselves
into the one immediately forward, it is
n6t at all likely that Mr. Alley is in
any danger from the Commissioner’s
decision. Tho Civil Rights act requires
that “full and equal enjoyment of the
accommodations, advantages, facilities,
privileges” of public conveyances shall
bo accorded all persons irrespective of
race, or previous condition of servi
tude, and as tho company provided a
first-class car for first-class darkey pas
sengers, Pollard cannot complain
that he was denied an equality of ac
commodation with that afforded white
passengers having first-class tickets.
Tit fob Tat. —During the Beechf.r-
Tilton trial the London papers were
horribly exercised over the “nasty de
tails;” but they did not fail to print the
“true inwardness” and vile outward
ness of the-Col. Baker case. There was
one marked difference between the two
affairs. Ia the Beecher business the
“nasty details” were spread out over
many weeks; in the Baker matter, Jus
tice lifted the curtain of infamy quick
ly, and as quickly let fall her sword up
on the culprit’s head. It is one thing
to peep into hell and another to rake
indefinitely among those baleful fires.
