THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
THURSDAY, August 19, 1875.
Sympathy for Parker—Charity Should
Begin at Home.
A good deal of mawkish and senti
mental sympathy having been expend
ed upon the “ Boss Buzzard ” of South
Carolina, Niles G. Parker, the Winns
boro News is properly indignant there
at, and gives vent to its feelings as fol
lows :
There are thousands of men in the State
ta-day, pure and noble, whose hands are
scarred and torn by honest laborious work,
rendered necessary for the support of life,
because, being too noble to bow the knee to
Baal, they have seen their patrimony
stripped from them by a gang of plunder
ers, invested with supreme power and led
on by a ring of which this self-same Par
ker was the moving spirit. Thousands
there are, roared in luxury and once know
ing no wants, who to-day are compelled to
wear threadbare garments or apparel of
the coarest fabric, because their every
effort to regain what was lost by the
hard fortunes of war has been paralyzed
by a miserable swindling government, of
which Parker held the purse strings.—
Thousands of women, the purest and best
of their sex, are seen daily borne to prema
ture graves in consequence of overwork
rendered necessary by poverty and the de
moralization of labor, and because they
had not the means requisite to enjoy the
advantages of skilful medical treatment
and the course of life and diet necessary to
restore them to health. When this pano
rama of ruin passes slowly before the eye,
it shuts out from view Parker’s bleeding
hands and manacled wrists and shat
tered health; and the vast field for
sympathy thus opened, precludes the di
version of any of it to the individual who
has been chiefly instrumental in effecting
such a condition of affairs. Public opinion
is becoming entirely too mawkish and sen
timental. So soon as a criminal begins to
reap the reward of his misdeeds he is
canonized as a martyr. In this condition
of things, how can the fear of punishment
deter miscreants from sinning? It seems
to us that the people of South Carolina can
find enough in their own condition to la
ment without showing sympathy for the
chief cause of their misfortunes.
Admirably expressed. If ever the
wrath of God and man should be vis
ited upou any class of creatures, it
should descend in fiery torrents upon
the miscreants who have plundered,
betrayed and insulted the South since
1865. If there must be any praying
done, let the people of South Carolina
offer petitions to the Throne of Grace
for those unfortunate Democratic
politicians who have helped, in
nocently or designedly, to make
roguery respectable, or at least go un
whipped of justice. In our opinion,
nearly all the members of the Republi
can ring are in the same box with Par
ker. We have no faith in them or
their so-called reformation. The min
ute Parker threatened to turn State’s
evidence, his release on bail was a cer
tainty. The sooner the Democratic
masses cut loose from the body of
death they are clinging to for aid and
comfort the better.
Welsh.— An open letter from Mr.
William Welsh to the President is
causing some commotion. He severely
censures Mr. Delano and his Bureau,
and concludes thus:
Every suggestion I ever made to you was
promptly responded to, save only the in
vestigation of 1 rauds allowed by your ap
pointees. Even this lamentable trait I
believe springs from a distorted virtue.
Your protection of General Parker, when
he was convicted of misfeasance or mal
feasance as Commissioner of Indian Af
fairs, and of those who now control that
office, seems wholly unaccountable, except
on the hypothesis that love in you is blind.
It may seem strange to others that I
should have written this open letter, but
necessity was laid upon me to write, and I
could not, with proper respect to myself,
address you in any other way, as you have
in every instance closed your mind to evi
dence that must have convinced any other
man.
Avery clever resume of Grant’s stub
born habit of “sticking to his friends.”
Let the President lose power and place,
and very few of those he stuck to,
through good report or evil report,
will “stick” to liim.
Woodhull. — The irrepressible Wood
hull is giving her spiritual experien
ces. She became a clairvoyant when a
little girl, rocking her sister (Tennie) in
her cradle. When the spirits want her
to visit tho other world they “take her
by the hip” — as Satan may do some
day. She says :
I remember distinctly only four spirits
whom I now recognize as having seen there.
Three of these— Demosthenes, Bona
parte and Josephine, the last of whom
was my constant companion for years, and
until I began my active public labor; the
first of whom has been my instructor and
guide always, and the second of whom has
been him whose influence, strength and
decision have been my support in all emer
gencies and great undertakings—have been
the principal spirits by whom I have been
controlled. Another tail, elegantly-formed
spirit, of gallant bearing, whom I did not
remember by name, and whom I had never
seen again until recently, I now know to
have been Alexander the Great, of Mace
donia. His presence, in company with Bo
naparte, within the last two months, pre
f ages, lam sure, some great move on the
part of the spirits with whom they are as
sociated. The last words that I remember
being said to me upon that occasion were
these: “Your body shall never know cor
ruption.”
Now that Bonaparte and Alexander
the Great have broke loose, we may at
tribute current atmospheric phenom
ena to them and not to Yenus. If half
the stories about Mrs. Woodhull are
true, she will “never know corruption”
—that is as a novelty,
Sublime Context. —Surveying the
field of Gubernatorial aspiration, the
editor of the Rome Courier says : “ We
shall occupy our seat in the political
amphitheatre and witness the cuts and
thrusts of the gladiators in the arena
with the utmost composure, except to
smile when we see some brash young
aspirant plugging his watermelon too
soon. In conclusion the army of aspir
ants have a long heat before them, and
it will be necessary to rub them down
occasionally and to throw a dry blan
ket over them to prevent the disas
trous effects of overheat.” Candidates
may as well understand from this an
nouncement that the eye of Willing
ham is upon them. Now, come on with
your ten-cents-a-line biographies and
“ the devil take the hindmost!”
“ General Flapdoodle” is the latest
designation of Grand] Army of the Re
public resolutions denouncing Jeff.

Winnebago War-Whoops—A Gentle
Reminder to the Savages.
The Philadelphia Times, a Conserva
tive paper of eminent ability, regards
the war-dance of the Winnebagoes, of
Illinois, with feelings akin to pity and
contempt, not to speak of ridicule. It
says:
The general disposition seems to be not
to learn what Jeff. Davis knows about
farming. If General Lee were alive, the
Winnebago people, very probably, would
tolerate him as an agricultural lecturer, or
Stonewall Jackson, and General Long
steet, or Mosby, the guerilla, both of whom
the President recognizes as friends, would
be welcome; and so, no doubt, would Mr.
Stephens, who was Vice-President of the
Confederacy, or Mr Lamar, of Mississippi,
or even General Gordon of Georgia, Fitz
hughLee, of Virginia; but not Jeffrson
Davis. And yet what is the legal or moral
difference between Davis and the other em
inent secessionists above named ? True he
was placed at tho head of the Confederate
secession movement, but the others, also,
did all in their power to make secession
and treason successful and triumphant;
and why should the North favor them, or
any of them, more than DAVis-or, in other
words, why make him a special object of
hatred ? Somehow Davis has made him
self more odious to the North than has
any other of the leading Secessionists, not
excepting even tho irascible and erratic
Toombs, and it may be what he has done
since rather than during the war that has
so embittered the people of the North
against him. Doubtless the secret of this
ill feeling may be found in the fact that he
still shows a disposition to cling to Seces
sion doctrines and to justify his position
and conduct during the rebellion. Perhaps,
if he had “caved” as readily and thoroughly
as Longstreet and some others of his Con
federate confederates, Davis would have
been less unpopular in the North and might
have been welcomed to the strongly lte
publican county of Winnebago, in Illinois,
as a lecturer on farming. At all events the
opposition to his coming manifested iu that
county and State is not commendable. It
is time that all such enmities were buried.
If Jefferson Davis consents to visit tho
North to perform a proper act, ho should
be encouraged. There is not necessarily
any treason in an agricultural address, and
since tho Agricultural Society of Winnebago
has invited the Confederate President to
address them, the laws of hospitality and
social decency require tho people of that
county to receive him and treat him res
pectfully. His past political sins have
nothing to do witn this matter, and if his
address should be pertinent and unobjec
tionable in itself, he should be allowed to
come and go as quietly as any other man.
If tho Winnebago people persist in their
opposition they will do greater dishonor to
themselves than to the object of their
hatred, who will gain rather than lose pub
lic favor by their action. The people of
this country are tired of this business of
perpetuating the sectional and personal
animosities of the rebellion, and would
rather pardon even Jeff Davis than do any
thing more to keep alive the old war feel
ing.
The Times evidently perceives that
the Illinois barbarians are damaging
the Centennial, and hence, like a wise
doctor, prescribes a soothing syrup for
its colicky brethren. Mr. Davis has
not had such a lift into the popular
estimation of sensible men, North and
South, since the loss of Richmond, and
the Western Republicans have not
been so thoroughly exposed and dis
graced, It might not be a bad idea for
some Southern Agricultural Society to
invite Senator Morton to address them
on the proper way to cultivate corn,
cotton, rice, sugar cane, or anything
else. Should he accept, we guarantee
him a reception at once tolerant and
genteel; and yet he is a greater enemy
to this country than Mr. Davis is sup
posed to have been. The fact is “free
speech” in many parts of the North is
just what “free religion” was among
the early Puritans—“a barren ideality.”
North Carolina.— One of the best
edited papers in the South is the
Winnsboro, S. C., Neivs. We have been
much impressod with an article in
that excellent journal relative to the
recent North Carolina election. Re
viewing the situation in that State and
the antagonistic theories of tho Con
vention question, the News thus con
cludes :
“Zeal on the part of the Republi
cans, added to Democratic apathy,
came near ruining tho Democratic
party. As it is, they have just escaped
by the skin of their teeth ; and their
majority is so small they cannot effect
any radical change in the constitution.
The result of the election will make it
more difficult for the Democrats to
carry the State iu the general election,
when every Democratic vote will be
needed. The Democrats of North Car
olina showed a great want of political
sagacity in calling a convention and
risking all they had gained. They
must blame themselves for the bad
scaro they received. We hope they
will learn a lesson. It would appear pre
sumptuous in us to lecture North Car
olinans upon their local affairs were it
not that we are deeply interested in
the success of the National Democra
cy, and we think its chances of success
are lessened by every local blunder.”
Ben llill.—Benjamin H. Hill, of Geor
gia-backed by an overwhelming vote of
the people of his district—has already de
clared that if the South is forced into an
other war, to secure what it considers its
constitutional rights, that war will be
fought under the old flag and within the
Union. Hill says he is ready for the con
flict—how many others are equally pre
pared ?—[Washington Chronicle.
i We dare say Mr. Hill has been mis
represented ; but, if he did say what
the Chronicle says he did, nobody need
get Into a convulsion. If the South
shall remain at peace until Mr. Hill is
“ ready for the conflict,” Morton & Cos.
may calmly and securely wash their
“bloody shirts” and join a temperance
society.
A Significant Trifle. —A Boston pa
per thinks it a curious illustration of
the uncertainties attending business
operations, especially where fashion
has a voice, that one of the prominent
causes of the failure of cotton mills to
pay dividends of late, is the change in
the fashion of shirts. Colored shirts
of k various kinds and other garments
have suddenly become all the rage, and
as a consequence the great factories,
which make only plain white goods,
have been seriously affected, their mar
ket being materially cut off and their
white cottons being left on their hands.
We venture to say that the washer
women are equally surprised and dis
gusted.
New Books.
John Dorkien. A Novel. By Julia
Kavanagh.
While the latest production of Miss
Kavanagh can not be said to equal
some of her masterpieces, it is so far
superior to the common run of novels
that no comparison need be instituted
between them. The love Miss Kava
nagh bears for France manifests itself
in every work from her pen. She may
write of English people and surround
them with the real “ roast beef of Old
England,” but, sooner or later, in the
progress of the story, her principal
ehaiacters drift to Paris or the prov
inces, No one who has ever lived
among the French people can help be
ing fascinated with them, and the spell
is upon Miss Kavanagh, whose early
life was cast upon their shores. In the
delineation of French character she is
simply perfect, and we are always glad
when the necessities of her hero and he
roine compel them to cross the channel,
make love there and fulfill their des
tiny. The story of John Dorrien is that
of an ambitious youth who sacrifices
the Ideal for the Real, on account of
poverty. The sufferings of his mother
to give him an education and advance
his interests, at the expense of her
comfort and affections, are most tender
ly and beautifully portrayed. We feel
satisfied that any one who reads tho
book will be charmed with it, and pray
that the noble and gifted woman who
wrote it may lpng survive to give the
world many more such beautiful crea
tions.
The Annual Cyclopedia,.for 1874.
This book is a record of the impor
tant events of the past year and the
only authority on political, civil, mili
tary and social affairs, of all c mntries.
It brings specially in panoramic re
viow the European and American
drama of 1874, with rullness, clearness
and impartiality. Tho progress of
science in every branch is detailed
specifically ; the literature of the past
year has comprehensive treatment; re
ligious statistics are given with
singular ability; aud the biography of
noted living men, as well as those de
ceased, during tho year, is ail that
could bo expected. The work is em
bellished with a profusion of maps and
wood cuts of the most artistic descrip
tion, while all important documents,
messages, orders and official letters
are inserted entire.
A History of Home. By M. Creighton.
This is one of a series of historical
primers suitable for very youthful
students, and a convenient text book
for those of larger growth. We know
of no similar work which embraces in
so brief a space so much accurate in
formation for the purpose intended.
Our Augusta professors may find it to
their interest to examine this Roman
History for use in their schools. It
strikes us as just the thing for primary
scholars, inasmuch as all unnecessary
iiterary rubbish, so common to ordi
nary text books, is discarded, and only
the essential facts retained. It is in a
word the shorter catechism of Roman
history compiled by a man of the
highest intelligence, admirably fitted
for his task.
Insectivorous Plants. By i harles Dar
win, M. A. F. K. 8.
Whatever may be said of Darwin, as
to his theory of man’s descent, no one
can question his prodigious learning,
his painstaking investigation, his elabo
rate research, and lucidity of statement.
Plants have their hidden mysteries and
subtle peculiarities. In the work before
us, Mr. Darwin has given the world the
result of bis recent studies. If his con
clusions are not always tenable, he at
all events presents them with a force,
ingenuity aud perspicacity very hard to
overthrow, and such light us he throws
upon his present subject will, at any
rate, be a beacon to guide the explorers
of the future iu the same domain of
science. To the botanist, the planter
and the cultivated reader generally this
book is a mine of literary wealth, and
as such we commend it heartily.
A Question of Honor. By Christian
Reid.
This is a charming story of South
ern life just after tiio war. No one bet
ter understands the subject than the
author. Her father fell in defense of
the South, and she has shared all the
woes of her countrymen since 18G1. It
may be that she writes too frequently
for perfect progress in art, but, when
we once chided her for this, she
promptly and sadly answered: “I can
not help it. My own support and that
of others depends upon this kind of
composition.” It is really wonderful
that she should produce so much that
is beautiful, true and even glorious, in
so brief a period. But among the
daughters of the South, who have
suffered in affection and property by
our “Lost Cause,” and yet, by unaided
effort and native powers of intellect
and heart, risen superior to misfortune,
where can be found a nobler, a more
dutiful specimen than Frances Fisher?
The publishers, Messrs. D. Appleton
& Cos., 549 and 551 Broadway, N. Y.,
have our thanks for copies.
Odious Comparisons.— And now comes
Mr. G. W. Curtis, in defense of Beecher,
who says :
How many men—even the most famous
and popular and beloved—could have their
lives turned inside out, as it were, and the
public not be astonished ?
Well, numbers of famous, popular
and beloved men, when running for
office, have been “turned inside out,”
but stood the ordeal passing well.
When the trial was over for others,
they were not rewarded for infamy,
but consigned to a limbo in which
SIOO,OOO had no visible existence.
Pro and Con.— The Petersburg News
makes this fine point:
McCulloch, ex-United States Treasurer,
writing elaborate letters from London to
instruct Virginians how to be honest, and
Messrs. Thos. Branch & Cos., bankers,
Richmond, Virginia, sending printed pam
phlets to England, with letters from Ed
ward Pendleton and Bradley T. John
son, to show that Virginia has more wealth
now than she had before the war, and is
better able to pay her debt of $30,000,000
with compound interest! We have great
admiration for such extraordinary modern
intentions. Wonder what they cost?
