SATURDAY, August 28, 1875.
Northern Tramps—A Project to (let
Rid of Them.
Just now the labor problem of the
North is not a pleasant one for the
capitalists of that section to contem
plate. Thousands and thousands of
skilled workmen have gone back to
Europe, from whence they came, and
many more thousands, native and
foreign, are unemployed and very dan
gerous. These unhappy creatures, the
material from which the North princi
pally recruited her armies to devastate
the South and destroy our institutions,
not to speak of the use made of them
as voters to ratify Republican domina
tion—these poor creatures are now
reaping what they helped sow. When
they were wanted as soldiers, they
were complimented as “the intelligent
defenders of the Union;” when their
votes were required to keep Radicalism
in power, they were greeted as
“the sturdy yeomanry of the free
and enlightened North.” Now that the
XlYth and XVth amendments have
disorganized Southern wealth-produc
tion and social order, bringing ; n their
train dishonesty, panics, loss of con
fidence and general chaos, financially
and morally, these poor white work
men find themselves either reduced to
harder work and starvation wages,
or else look for labor of any kind in
vain. And when, with their battle scars
still fresh and their Republican jollifica
tion still recent, they are vomited forth
by multitudes and told to “root, hog,
or die.” Not only are they thus in
sulted, but the brand of “tramp,” the
most ignomiuious in the calendar of
contempt uous expressions,at the North,
is put upon them mercilessly. The
New York Siar defines what the rich
newspapers call “tramps.” It says :
There are 15,000 operatives on the streets
of Tall River, with no money and no credit.
When men have no money and no credit
they beg. After tlmy have exhausted the
charity of their own, they seek aid else
where. Men without money have to walk,
and when beggars walk from place to place
they are called tramps. Are tramps neces
sarily robbers and scoundrels? Tf so. the
Fall River operatives must be a toleiably
bad set of men. It will not do to brand
15,003 people with the badge of d'shonesty
and crime.
As these 15,000 unfortunates happen
to have votes, it may be that they will
make the bondholders “squeal” on
election day. While it is none of our
funeral, we confess that it would seem
that retribution has fallen upon those
who made the Abolition war a physical
success; and it is quite likely that the
instrument employed by the North to
compass our downfall will be made a
weapon for the discomfiture of those
who wielded the thunderbolt.
And now comes the New York Herald
with a cheap method of solving the
“tramp” question. It proposes that
they be sent South and argues that
“the Southern States need working
men, and thousands can there find con
stant and remunerative employment at
this very time.” A greater deception
never was expressed in the same num
ber of lines. The South does not want
one of them and will not have them if
she can help it. We have enough and
to spare of our own honest poor, and,
so far as Augusta is concerned, wo have
a Mayor who ships paupers from
abroad, at the rate of 500 per
annum, over a single line of
railway. No; the North has made
“t f ramps” of old soldiers and honest
laborers, and she shall keep and
pay for them, or else suffer the conse
quence. They are not wanted in the
South, and we sincerely trust their
local attachment is so great that they
will at least stay where they are until
after the next Presidential election.
By this time they must know what
Radicalism really is, and that, in slob
bering over Southern slaves or freed
meu, the ruling spirits of the party
have brought their own unfortunate
white people to the verge of starvation
and vindictive crime. Let the North
manage her monster, if she can. Let
the monster stay at home and make
himself felt. He was a “gallant boy in
blue” and a “loyal Republican” not
long ago. He is still a man, though a
“tramp,” aud a vote is iu his hand
which may be made more terrible than
the bayonet he once fixed upon a gun.
Georgia Negroes. —The special cor
respondent of the New York Herald
surprises and gratifies the editor of
that sheet by stating that the colored
people of Georgia paid taxes last year
on over six million dollars’ worth of
property, and that they were the own
ers, at that time, of 333,769 acres of
farming land and of city and tovsa real
estate, to the assessed value of $1,200,-
000. “This,” says the editor, “is cer
tainly a fine showing. It proves that
they are industrious and have begun
to accumulate. It proves, also, that
they have been in the main safe in life
and property; for they could not else
have accumulated so much in the short
period since they became free.” It
proves another thing, that when any
attempt is made by the Radicals to
keep a State under their dominion, the
negroes are even greater sufferers than
the whites. In Democratic Georgia
the colored people are far more pros
perous than in any other Southern
State. And yet the Herald is appar
ently desirous of “splitting the De
mocracy.”
Solomon Bennett.— We are warned
by the New York Herald that the in
surrection “ought to teach the people
of Georgia to foster their common
school system and to see to it that the
colored people are educated. The ig
norance of this class is the only source
of danger in the South from them.
They are mild, faithful, industrious,
easily guided. They need only general
common school education to make
them a safe and valuable laboring
class.” That’s all stuff. Among the
most dangerous negroes in the South
are those who have a “common school
education” or its equivalent.
Tilden.— The Governor of New York’s
recipe for political reform is this: “The
election of honest men, of whatever
party, to do the work of the Govern
ment”
The Negro as a Politician—New Allies
for Conservative Democracy.
The editor of the New York San was
one of the prominent disciples of Chas.
Sumner, Wendell Phillips, Garrison,
Horace Greeley, etc. He has spent a
long life of intellectual labor in demon
strating to the world that the negro is
the equal of the white man, that ae
only needed a chance iu freedom aud
enfranchisement to prove the truth of
that proposition, and that civilization
would bo surprised at the beneficial
effects of the XVth Amendment. Hew
very wise and prophetic Mr. Dana was,
let the following Mississippi corres
pondence from his own paper illus
trate :
At this season of the year the negro ne-,
gleets his partially-made crops and at
taches himself to the coat-tails of a Radi
cal leader, to which he swings with a deaffi
4 rasp until the election is over. .The world’s
history cannot show a race of people whose
devotion to any theory or creed has ever
equalled that of the negro for politics. His
zeal is now towering to its zenith. Not
withstanding the harmony and prospenil y
which prevail in the Southern States be
tween the blacks an 1 whites when the De
mocrats have carried the election, still tae
negroes in Mississippi are being drilled and
preached to night and day, and are told
that if the Democrats get in power their
children will not be educated, they
will not be allowed to vote, and will
finally be made slaves again. The black
multitude gulps it all down, just as
they did the belief that Grant was
going to see that each one of them had
“forty acres and a mule.” Hence the con
test in Mississippi this Fall will be a bitter
one. A notorious feature of the Radical
party in the South is that they put the
grandest rascals into office. A certain can
didate for Sheriff :joined the negro Baptist
Church, and pulled off his shoes, saying he
would walk on the sacred altar with his
bare feet. An ther candidate, to show his
goodness for the party, said; “Brethren,
’you know I am the Justice of the Poace;
well, whenever I arrests a man I fines
him. If he hain’t got no money I takes
chickens, hogs, corn, anything. I jus
sends my baliff arter it, and al
ways divides with him. Deni sort
cases I never puts on the docket at all.”
A rural justice, colored, thus disposed of a
case: Attor ey, concluding his speech,
said: ‘lf the court please, you have my
lemarks before you. You can draw your
own infer nee from them, and either sus
tain my motion or overrule it, as you see
proper.” The black court answered:
"You’re right, ’Squire. But see here, you
understand drawing up these legal papers
and documents better than I do; so you
just draw up dat infrence and I’ll sign it.”
The negro is ignorant, and more to be
pitied than blamed. They are perfectly re
spectful and polite, and work well. Their
religion is second only to politics with
Ihem. They begin at dark, and sing, pray
and preach until sunrise, all night long,
Saturday and Sunday nights.
HOW THE RADICALS MAKE IT PAY.
The Pilot, published at Jackson, is the or
gan of Radical corruption In this State. In
the published Constitution and By-Laws of
the Radical Club, we find this clause:
“ Art. 7. In addition to the initiation fee
of S3, each member shall be assessed ten
cents per month, and shall be deprived of
his vote until the payment of said assess
ment.”
The negro, you will observe, has not sense
enough to see that he is not only compelled
to vote as he is told to, but he is forced to
pay one dollar and twenty cents a year for
that purpose.
Into such disgraceful barbarism and
pollution have the Abolitionists and
Radicals led the glorious white Re
public of Thomas Jeffepson, George
Washington and Robert E. Lee. Atro
cious as the present case is, and utterly
subversive of true liberty and a pure
social order, worse remains behind, un
less the men who brought this calamity
upon our country shall be driven from
power. What Mr. Lamar and his fol
lowers want with such allies as the
~Sun pictures we cannot comprehend.
The introduction of that virus into ti e
political life of any party can result
only in physical degradation and moral
death.
Col. Butler and the Dry Goods Clerks.
Col. and Rev. D. E. Butler has be
come a popular topic just now. At
Dalton, lately, he wanted to drag tbe
estimable and hard-working dry gooc s
clerks out of their places, and, in mili
tary style, thrust them into field and
factory work, for which they have no
fitness. And now, according to the
Atlanta Constitution, at a farmers’
meeting last week, the same gentleman
confessed as follows;
He did not desire to be set up as a plant
er, for as such he was a failure. He clidu t
love to plow. Had tried it, and found that
shade trees were mighty good things to
have in fields; that a slow horse in the
shade was the best team he ever fo'’owed
iu hot weather.
If plowmg is such hard work, what
would he do as a factory hand? We
venture to say that Col. Butler, if poor
aud out of work, would take what he
could get, woman or no woman iu the
way. The young men in large dry
goods stores do not have an easy time
of it, and they are among the most
reputable and useful of our communi
ty. The people of the South had bet
ter build more factories before attempt
ing to thrust men into those already
orected, where their services are not
required. IT Dr. Butler, r i the far
mer’s friend, would advise boys bred
in the country to stick to that l ind o!
life and help their parents, instead of
crowding the cities in search of clerk
sb;ps that do not exist, he would prob -
ably engage in a crusade of some profi;
to the world at large.
The Telegraph. — A writer in one of
the New Orleans papers takes up the
cudgels for the Western Union Tele
graph Company. The gist of his de
fence is found iu the concluding para
graph, which we quote:
The Western Union Telegraph Company
may, indeed, be in the enjoyment of some
what of a monopoly iu its line of business
but if so the fact is owning to this rather
than to any other circumstance, that the
competency and politeness of its officers,
the fairness of its dealings, the cheapness,
correctness and promptness of the work
done, have drawn to it so great a share of
the public patronage as could not but have
resulted in the destruction by starvation
of such antagonistic agencies as stood :n
the way, and have been compelled to retire
before the advancing forces of a superior
power.
We dare say there is a good deal of
truth in this. Upon the whole, it may
be asserted that the company had the
giant’s strength, but did not use it like
a giant. What it would have done,
confronted with powerful and wealthy
competition, must be left to conjecture.
Another Fizzle—“ Protected American
Industry.”
American workmanship seems to be
very costly aud very much of a fraud.
Our cities are being built up, in many
instances, without regard to substan
tiality, aud we have just heard of a
failure in “our” shipbuilding which is
ludicrous aud disgraceful. Everbody,
who reads a paper, knows what a pro
digious display was made when the
City of Pekiug, an immense iron steam
ship, was built at Chester, Pa. Her
picture, a splendid steel engraving, was
sent to every newspaper office in the
land, and a copy of it now adorns
the Constitutionalist sanctum. The
“bloody Britishers” and the “rest of
Imankind” were triumphantly called
upon to witness this phenomenal feat
in American marine architecture. The
following excerpt from the San Fran
cisco Daily Post of August 11, tells a
shameful story of the decliue of Amer
ican workmanship, as illustrated by
this very vessel:
The Pacific Mail Company’s steamer City
of Peking is now lying at the Brannau
street wharf in a most deplorable condi
tion, a sad illustration of the evils of the
contract system. Within five months she
lias had to bo docked three times. When
she arrived here, some five months since,
she had to be placed on the dry dock, and
in addition to the necessary repairs to her
propeller, over live thousand of her rivets
had to be replaced. When she arrived at
Hong Kong, some two or three thousand
more of her rivets had worked loose, and
it was found necessary to again dock her-
Here it appears she was surveyed by a
gentleman employed by the chief Chinese
firms, aud after receiving his report they
determined that it -would be dangerous to
ship Chinese, upon her. The feeling among
the merchants was such, that it was with
difficulty even the light cargo she brought
to this port could be obtained. On her last
voyage to this port, she commenced to
loosen her plates again, and water found
its way to the freight deck, spoiling a por
| tion of the cargo. On reaching her wharf
; it was decided to send another vessel ' n her
! place on the next outward trip.
In the picturesque language of the
Pacific coast, it is declared that “the
bolts are dropping out of her, like teeth
out. of a salivated quicksilver miner.”
It is also stated that it will require
8250,000 to patch her up, and every six
mouths a similar sum will be required
to keep her from sinking. What is the
use of making so much fuss over a
Rifle Team, when John Bull has his
revenge by pointing a fat finger at the
City of Peking and, with another fat
Auger on his nose, exclaims: “Behold
the ‘triumph’ of American workman
ship !” J. B. has the "Yankee” on the
hip in valuable industries, if he did fail
to outshoot a rifle team. The Lion is
entitled to roar, and the eagle, with
pin-backed tail, may as well answer
with a wheezy squeak.
Col. Baker. —The London Times sums
up against Col. Baker in this wise:
If was simply a brutal assault inspired
by animal passion, and when we read Miss
Dickinson’s account of the physical vio
lence to which she was subjected we feel
that Col. Baker may think himself fortu
nate in the view of the case taken by the
jury. It is no doubt that women do travel
by themselves every day long distances,
and find every one civil and desirous to be
friendly to them. But it would be useless
to pretend that there are not men with
whom any young and good-looking woman
would be in danger. There are men with
whom licentiousness becomes a habit, and
they are utterly unscrupulous as to the
means of gratifying their passion. The re
sult of the present trial may be a warning
to men of this type, but one cannot suppose
that it will change their instincts or per
manently deter them.
True as gold. A man had better trust
his family in a den of lions than to
some social monsters who have the
sleek exterior of gentlemen aud the
propensities of si\ine.
Smiles and Tears. —The New York
Grapid ?, anent the rattling ridicule of
Whitelaw Rfid and Jay Gould, says:
The Sun keeps up its hallabaloo about the
“young editor with the powerful mind,”
“the stool-pigeon of Jay Gould.” But isn’t
the venerable editor of that paper “which
shines for all” about himself t® pass undr
Jay Gould’s control. When the telegraphs
of the country are in the hands of the “con
scienceless speculator,” the press will be at
his mercy. We ventui eto predict that, af
ter next October, the Sun will find much to
admire in Jay Gould, and will even stop
its attack upon the inmates of the tall
tower.
We judge from the date fixed for the
Sun's silence, that Jay Gould will then
be the controller of the telegraph and
the press. Why not nominate him for
President of the United States?
Vepmin.—The New York Times calls
upon somebody to find out a way to
exteradnate vermin. If Kelly was not
so busy on rapid transit, he might ac
complish the feat. Perhaps, though,
vermin have their uses in the economy
of nature, and, if exterminated, a re
ward would have to be instituted to
coax them back. It spite of the en
croachments and torments of the insect
world, Coleridge may have told the
truth when he wrote:
“Ho prayeth best who loveth best
All thing*, both great and small;
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.”
£id yet —and yet, coch-roaeli, bed
bug and rat extertr'uators are not to
be despised.
Good Enough.— The English people,
some of them, have a very luminous
idea of American civilization and poli
tics. Discussing the late Davis-Kim
ball affair, the London Review posts
its readers thus:
Jefferson Davis, the American Rebel,
has been invited to address the Winnebago
natives. N. B.—The Winnebago are a
tribe of Indians, formerly of Wisconsin
State, but now removed to an agency In
Nebraska State.”
The Grand Army of the Republic
said some bitter things against Mr.
Davis, but we pity the editor of the
London Review if he should go into
Illinois, especially if he be not a bald
headed man.
Hypocrisy. —Rev. T. DeWitt Tal
mags punctures a huge bladder thus:
“Yes, we are all sorry Andrew Johnson
is dead. We hang our public buildings
in mourning, we bury him in the United
States flag and put the Constitution in
his hand, and but a little while ago we
caricatured and maligned him without
mercy. Oh, the humbug of human ap
plause.”

a mine of richness in tfV following
paragraph: $1
Some of the papers are lajking a great
ado over the discovery that finator Mor

telegraph lines are “ dead i|j’adod.” The
truth is that a great many < flier membere
of Congress beside SenatofimoßTON are
