THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
THURSDAY, August 26,1875.
Governor Smith's Speech in Augusta.
We have not had an opportunity be
fore to comment upon the speech de
livered in this city by Governor Smith
on Monday night but must now say
that it was eminently a good one, plain,
practical, full of that very uncommon
quality, common sense, and met the
cordial approbation of our citizens,
before proceeding to sneak of some
particular points in it, it is proper to
express our satisfaction at the manner
in which the people of Augusta testified
their sense of the Executive presence
in the city. There are no electiors in
Georgia this year and political con
siderations were therefore not thought
of, but for the first time iu a number
of years the Governor of the State
visited the city and iu an enthusiastic
reception our people manifested their
appreciation of a genuine Georgia gov
ernment, of which a chief magistrate
of their own choice is the head. The
glitter of the bayonets of our volunteer
soldiery, the roar of a gubernatorial
salute from the artillery, the sounds of
martial music, the large crowd assem
bled almost at a moment’s notice, and
the hearty cheers which greeted the
appearance before it of a real Governor
of Georgia—the first since the succes
sion was broken by the forcible deposi
tion from office of Governor Jenkins —
brought vividly to our mind, by contrast,
those gloomy days when an alien rule
prevailed, and the spoiler and inter
loper reigned supreme. No doubt the
same idea was general, and the recol
lection of the enshackled past lent zest
to the free present and bright future.
Augusta has the fate of having fur
nished all the so-called Governors of
the State, and the reception accorded
Gov. Smith was a popular declaration
that this unenviable distinction was the
misfortune, and not the fault, of the
community. Here where Bullock and
Conley jfiumed their flight into the
chair of Troup, Crawford and J enkins,
it was eminently proper in the eternal
fitness of things that the presence of
the first legitimate Executive since the
downfall of the bayonet regime should
be gladly recognized. In honoring
Gov. Smith on Monday night our city
honored itself, showing not only a
sound appreciation of the situation,
but evincing that time-honored courte
sy which has always distinguished Au
gusta.
With respect to the speech, it made
one thing manifest —that so far as de
pends upon the Executive branch of
the State Government there shall be
no more insurrections plotted in Geor
gia. It is intolerable that at the whim
of every crazy negro the peace and
good order of this State should be im
perilled, and the false impression go
forth to the country that there must be
some intolerable injustice done the
colored race in Georgia to provoke
such extended, mysterious, and trucu
lent conspiracies upon their part. Im
pressions like this are calculated to
do all our interests abroad as much
ininrv aa a DerDetually smouldering
lence occasions at home. There is no
reason why the white and colored
races should not live contentedly to
gether in this State, or in fact any
where in the South, if agitation and
mischief-making were once made dan
gerous and unprofitable pursuits, and
we are glad to have Gov. Smith’s decla
ration that he intends to use all the
powers attached by law to his office to
teach tlrs salu*ary lesson to the ill
disposed. He is no mawkish senti
mentalist, as has been amply shown,
and the cheers which greeted h’s state
ment that the bloodthirsty vagabonds
who have been endangering the safety
of both races of late would trouble the
public no more, are evidence of the ap
probation with which the people regard
a stern determination to “faithfully exe
cute the office of Governor of the State
of Georgia.”
Another statement met great appro
bation, namely, that it is intolerable
that thousands upon thousands of the
citizens of Georgia are liable at any
moment to the anxieties, if not the ac
tual dangers, of mad crusades against
their persons, families and property,
and that the State is unable to afford
them arms. It ’s emphatically true
that the community owes protection or
the means of protection to every indi-
vidual member of society. The Federal
Government has from its foundation
recognized this duty as between the
central authority of the Republic
and the individual States. The Con
stitution provides that the whole force
of the Union shall, if necessary, be put
in operation for the protection of each
member from any violence from with
out or within, and in the spirit of this
provision it has been the usage, for
many years, to distribute arms among
the States, and as between the State and
its citizens the like duty is existent.
“Protection to person and property is
the paramount duty of government,”
says the present State constitution,”
“and shall be impartial and complete .”
The last annual message said: “Expe
rience demonstrates that nothing tends
so effectually to preserve the public
peace as a consciousness on the part
of the evil-disposed and lawless that
government possesses the power to
enforce the laws,” and it was then
urged that a sufficient supply of arms
be purchased by the State. Nothing
was done by the Legislature, and the
event proves the wisdom of the Execu
tive recommendation. The evil-dis
posed and lawless learned that the
State was not in a position to cope with
a wide-spread resistance to her author
ity, and who can tell how far this
knowledge fostered the recent outbreak
in the Blaclj Belt.
Another utterance of Gov. Smith we
warmly commend. In substance, he
said that we don’t need help nor ask
help from the North: let us alone. This
is a manly and truthful utterance, ana
we are glad it comes from the high
source it does. It is unworthy of our
people to look for a rehabilitation of
their fortunes to the hands which cast
them down. There is too much of the
spaniel in this policy, and we rejoice
that in an official manner, as it were,
and from the representative function
ary of this great State, there comes a
scorching denunciation of such egre
gious folly. The Bible gives the true
rule for every brave man and every
self-respecting State—work out your
own salvation. To lie supine upon
our backs and moan piteously for oth
ers to come and help us, is not only
disgraceful, looked at from the stand
point of honor, but is the worst course
in the world regarded even from the
standpoint of dollars and cents. It is
not in human nature to help a man
who will not help himself. If we cease
to implore, we can in the course of time
command, foreign capital. The State is
bursting with undeveloped wealth.
Another point iu Gov. Smith’s ad
dress calls for particular attention. It
is a bold step forward and one that
men in office have not heretofore dared
to take. His Excellency is an utter dis
believer in the ruinous sophism that
“a public debt is a public blessing.”
He favors paying every present obliga-
tion to the uttermost farthing and in
the most abounding good faith, and
then run in debt no more. The best
observers of the times and the closest
students of human nature know that
the adoption of this course is the only
hope for the preservation of anything
like a free government in this country.
All other issues pale their ineffectual
fires before it. We are not given to
antique quotations, but a passage of an
old time writer presses upon us in this
connection— panis pauperum, vita pau
per am, et qui defraudit eos vir sanguinis
est, the bread of the poor is the life of
the poor and he who defrauds them is
a man of blood. When government,
ceasing its proper functions of main
taining the peace and applying justice,
becomes a money-making business by
all the costly enginery of debts, credit,
and industrial or monetary specu
lations, the destruction of liberty, good
order, and general prosperity is but a
mere question of time. Then comes
the red flag, and after that the reign ot
the cold steel. Altogether, then, we re
peat that the Governor’s address was
a good one, sound in itself and certain,
we think, to be wholesome in its results.
“Great Sores of the Republic”—New
York’s Plague Spots.
Thomas Jefferson had a horror of
great municipalities, and denounced
them as the “great sores of the Repub
lic.” The New York World is just now
busily engaged in proving the abstract
truth of this assertion, and concretely
so as applicable to the commercial me
tropolis of the United States. From
this veracious chronicler we learn that
in the nineteen years ending with 1874,
nearly nine hundred murders were
committed in New York, not one-quar
ter of the perpetrators of which have
been discovered. Three thousand pro
fessional villains constantly infest the
city, whose robberies from legitimate
business amount to $6,500,000 a year.
Allowing a portion of the stolen prop
erty to be restored, the cost of the
criminals amounts, yearly, to $7,000,-
000.
The World shows that the hot-beds
of these imps of d_arkpesl.U,re_yjci&qs
tery and policy shops, the gamb
ling hells, and the houses of prostitu
tion. It further states that eight
thousand places are licensed in New
York for the sale of intoxicating li
quors. Of 84,514 arrests for crime—to
say nothing of the criminals who es
cape arrest —70,000 have been traced
directly to parties more or less badly
addicted to inebriation. The gambling
hells which grow like fungi around the
dens of infamy are seven hundred in
number, and into that whirlpool
of perdition, night and day, mem
bers of all classes of society
are engulfed. Not less destructive of
good morals than the lairs we have
mentioned are, according to the World,
the 700 lottery policy shops which are
said to be chiefly under the control of
Mr. Benjamin Wood, ex-Congressman
and a newspaper proprietor to boot.
An upright Judge is on record as say
ing that three-fourths of the crime of
New York could be killed off by the
extirpation of these “ sores.” How
much capital, by tho hundreds of mil
lions, is sunk in ruining the bodies and
sou's of men, and women, and the im
poverishment and despair of honest
families, in the great ulcerous city of
New York, the reader, with these facts
and figures before him, can readily cal
culate.
Southern Flour.— The export of
South Carolina flour to the North is
something like carrying coals to New
castle. But we read in the Baltimore
Sun, of the 20th, that among the cargo
brought by the steamship Culvert from
Charleston were 300 pounds of flour,
the wheat of which was raised in South
Carolina the present year, the flour be
ing made at Charleston, at the Camp
sten Mills. The flour is of fine quality,
and is equal to the Maryland product.
This shipment, which is the inaugura
tion of anew enterprise, goes to Bos
ton. Five hundred barrels of the same
kind of flour are now awaiting ship
ment from Charleston to the North.—
Southern buyers of flour from Eastern
and Western cities should stick a pin
right here.
All Right.— ln a speech at Green
field, on the 20th, uncle William Allen
said that he had never been sick but
three days in his life. He added:
“ Retire ! Nothing would please the
enemies of the people more than my
retirement Retire, while my eye is
fixed upon approaching dangers that
threaten the liberties of my country
men ?” The Toledo Blade must have
been hard up for a healthy lie when it
reported the robust old gentleman in a
bad way. _________
Explanatory.— According to a noted
burglar, the majority of bank robber
ies are the result of mixed up accounts
and collusion between bank officers and
burglars. That is something like the
experience of an old farmer who gave
his gardener all his shooting irons to
kill the rogues who robbed him of his
vegetables. The robbing did not cease,
nobody was killed, and it turned out
that the boss-rogue was the gardener
himself.
Killing, Pomologieally Considered A
Wisconsin Chief of Police on the
Situation.
The Rev., so-called, L. F. Copeland,
who owes the Atlanta Constitution for
a coat of tar and feathers, seems to be
the prize scoundrel of the 19th century.
E.e has boxed the compass of rascality,
but to no heart has he sent such dag
gers of distress as to that of the Chief
of Police of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. To
a citizen of Nashville, who suffered
from the boss villain’s imposition, this
indignant official writes:
Police Department, City of Milwau
kee, Office of Chief of Police, Milwau
kee, Wis., Aug. 18. Daniel Lee, Esq.:
Dear Sir: Yours of 15th inst. is at hand.
Enclosed you will find picture and hand
bill issued by me at that time, but the re
v/ard has since been withdrawn and we do
tot want him.
For God’s sake kill the scoundrel so that
I can attend to my legitimate business, in
stead of answering letters similar to yours.
There is not a city or town in the United
States where the rascal has not got into
some scrape or other, and then when too
late I am written to.
Kill him and! will pay all expenses.
Respectfully yours.
(Signed) William Beck,
Chief of Police.
Dr. Daniel Lee unfortunately receiv
ed this letter too late for all practical
purposes, and it is even thought that
•Jopeland is now engaged in some mis
sionary work in Virginia.
We do not know that Dr. Lee is to
have a monopoly of this authorized as
sassination, and Mr. Beck, Chief of
Police, of Milwaukee, Wis., should write
another letter stating that he gives full
power and authority to all whom it
may concern to make an ensanguined
corpse of the accomplished villain, who
has poisoned his life by day and
disturbed his nocturnal repose.—
If Copeland is really occupied in run
ning a camp meeting in Virginia, his
murder while singing a hymn or
preaching a sermon would be highly
dramatic and intensely exciting. How
the soul of Mr. Beck, Chief of Police of
Milwaukee, Wis., would rejoice at such
a consummation of his desires at such
a time ! Our fancy cannot adequately
imagine his exultation, and a severe
cold in the head prevents us from try
ing to do so.
But what a loss to science it has been
when Dr. Lee, who is a celebrated ag
ricultural writer and experimentalist,
was prevented, by the mail’s delay or
a Chief of Police’s tardy summons,
from exterminating Copeland. We read,
the other day, that the corpse of a mad
dog was buried at the foot of an
apple tree, just before the blossoming
season. The tree bore fruit iu profu
sion, but all who ate of it were seized
with convulsions symptomatic of hydro
phobia, If Dr. Lee had butchered
Copeland, he would, of course, have
manured one of his peach trees with
the mutilated relics. Imagine the re
sult. Instead of one Copeland, who
stands aloue and sui generis in his
atrocity, there would have been a re
duplication of that great original male
factor to the extent of the consumption
of the good Doctor’s peaches. It is too
horrible to contemplate, and, on the
whole, we are glad that what has been
to the “ rest of mankind.” One Cope
land we can endure; but a dozen or
two of bis character would anticipate
the Day of Judgment.
Railroad Gauges. —Recently the At
lanta Constitution called attention to
the fact that the standard railroad
gauge of the South is five feet, and yet
the gauge of the Southern Pacific Road
is four feet eight inches and a half. It
therefore wants to know whether the
latter is really a Southern enterprise
or is it to be simply a feeder for St.
Louis and the Northern lines. The
Baltimore Sun quiets our Gate City
contemporary by stating that, though
the South has now 9,900 miles of track
of the vide gauge, the probabilities are
that the whole railroad system of the
United States will ultimately be chang
ed to the four feet eight and a half
inches gauge, as au actual necessity of
unrestricted trade between different
sections of the country. It may be
added to this that the change could be
effected in 48 hours.
Savings. —The statement of the New
York Savings Banks for the six months
to July 1, represents the total of the
deposits, exclusive of surplus, at $316,-
835,617; aggregate assets, $336,308,236.
The gain in deposits since January 1
is over $12,000,000. There ! s also a
gain of over 36,000 in the number of
depositors. The increase in deposits is
the largest since 1872, This would in
dicate that some persons are accumu
lating in spite of hard times. It may
be that hard times are caused by
too much hoarding and too little cir
culation of currency. This is probably
the whole truth of the matter, and ac
counts for the gains In the bank de
posit since 1872. What is the use of
having plenty of blood if it does not
circulate through the system ?
Enterprise.— The New York Evening
Telegram, a tender to the Herald, now
publishes an edition at 10 o’clock in
the morning, giving a full account of
the London money market at 1 o’clock
on the same day, being able to do this
easily on account of the difference of
time between London and New York.
A report of this kind, provided it be
accurate, in the hands of every mer
chant before he begins business would
be. of very great value. There is no
end to the enterprise of Young Jim
Bennett.
“Disgraceful.” —The Charleston News
and Courier fears there is a growing
feeling among the younger colored peo
ple that manual labor, especially in the
fields, is disgraceful, and a badge of
servitude. Well, in the same propor
tion as the blacks aro thus persuaded,
let there be a growing feeling among
the younger white people that manual
labor is altogether houorable and a
badge of manly independence.
A Beef Corner. —Among the wrongs
of the Indians, mention is now made
that from a single tribe $2,000,000 on
beef have been stolen. Mr. Delano’s
bureau is also arraigned for furnishing

and sand.

He is a morose, heavy-min<f id man, rather

The Philadelphia Chronicf: thus speaks
of our insurrection: “ Tile Republican

We have no definite information on this
point, but it is not probable t the colored
people would have conceived this brutal
idea. They have been well treated by the
whites, and both races havejnoved on har
moniously. Encouraged b.J ike example
