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 poor “Lo” with flour made of beans and sand. PERSONAL, fi Pebe Hyacinthe is now g&iled a six penny Calvin. Such is fame.

Kerr, of Indiana, has onf j gland qualifi cation. The West demands the Speaker ship, and they have no onielse fit for it. He is a morose, heavy-min<f id man, rather uncultivated, full of rude vfcfor, and lights with the club, rather than ijie rapier. He has neither great tact no if U rge wealth, both important items in th £ niake up of a first-class Speaker. Mr. Kijiubalso wants to be President badly, and Vas a field far clearer than either Wood, Cjx or Randall In that noble but misguided Ilirection. This alone would unlit him for t!s impartial ex ercise of the power placed M tiie hands of the Speaker. We have had [enough of the exploits of the late Mr. Bla *n t e, acting un der that Impulse, to have all the great in terests of the country, as lepresented by the House committees, m&Se subservient to the White House delusio j [Arcadian. The Philadelphia Chronicf: thus speaks of our insurrection: “ Tile Republican party in Georgia has been! In a hopeless minoi ity, and perhaps this jadfc will afford a to the attempteil insurrection. 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.

The dealt of ox-Gov. Graham reduces the numbej straight out Do nocrats to 58, that miking a tie be tw r oen the Republicans and tjo Democrats Of the Independents it is l|ilieved to be pretty certain that one will jole with the Republicans and one with tjo Democrats. This leaves the balance of jpqwer in the hands of the remaining Impendent, Dr. Ransom, of Tyroll county. Of ijpurse tremen dous exertions will bo made I*' both parties to capture him. He wifi elected in opposition to the regular Der J xuatic nomi nee. As the Republicans tf o pledged to adjourn the Convention site die imme diately on its assembling if t-iicy have the power, the question as to whether the peo ple of North Carolina shall jpave another constitution depends jantireljtupon this one man. Judge Bettle says thi| ; isonnol of the convention is composed [ of the very best men of both parties. If tee Democrats do succeed in securing the majority and proceed to the work of forming anew con stitution. Judge Settle states that he Is satisfied that there will be not i :>g inserted detrimental to the interests of ; tbs Repub licans. With the parties so ev ! aly balanced any instrument likely to be | amed must to a great extent meet with |the concur rence of both. * SPECIAL NOTICES.
