THE CONSTITUTIONALIST 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.” PERSONALS.- Bismaßck speaks English ry correctly, and never says “prance” orY-waltz” in al luding to a person who is oil jr walking.

He believed in God, in the !‘§| dour and the Bible, and a future p? f e, but he could never get himself i ’ - what he was wont to call the nai| v creeds. The difference between his and Sum ner, the so-called “ frienfl|pf humani ty,” is best made known * dotically.
