WEEKLY CONSTITUTIONALIST- A Warning to Southern Land-owners. *STo the Editcr of the Neto York World: My attention has been drawn within the last lew days, professionally, to a swindle, which 1 Understand is being extensively, practiced and seems especially directed against the vontbern people, who are at present the least able to bear it. The modus operand! seems to he as follows : Agents who pretend to be em ployed by large and respectable houses in this city are sent out to represent that they are authorized to purchase a large quantity of Southern lands which are needed for the pur pose ol encouraging foreign immigration, and -yjhat for well located lands when a good title 3 Can be given, excellent opportunities for ex change will be offered. The propositions offered are something to this effect: The agent pretends that the firm in New Fork which he represents are the owners of a large quantity _ of liquors in bond, which are worth at least “V three dollars per gallon; that the duties, ex | penses, &c., upon them amount to one dollar j and twenty-five cents ; that on the delivery of A the deed of the lands lie will give to the grant " Or an order trom the firm in New York for the * delivery of the number of gallons agreed upon yj. On receipt of the one dollar and twenty-five cents for duties, &c. The contract being signed an agreement is sent out by the New York house to the effect that they will deliver to the grantor (naming him) at any time with in three months so many gallons of sherry or port (or whatever wiue may have been con tracted for,) worth three dollars per gallon on receipt of the deed and the one dollar and twen ty-Jire cents duties, etc. Upon receipt of this, the owner of the lands is induced to part with , the deed, which is immediately sent to be re- V corded. Computing the amount he is to re s ceive for his lands by multiplying the number of gallons by the difference between the value ot the wine and the amount to be deducted for ' duties, etc., and believing that there will be no ’difficulty in inducing the large house in New P a J’ tbe duties aud deliver to him at WU’-e reduced price, or if they should decline, he would be able without a very great I sacrifice to raise the required amount on the | goods in bond, the gentleman from the rural I districts' believes that he has made a good I trade. He visits New York and calls upon the ■ firm with whom he is doing business, and is | received most handsomely. He would like . A the order, but is politely reminded of the little f matter of one dollar and twenty-five cents, and receives the Jregrtts of the capitalists that his means are so largely invested abroad at this time that he does not feel able to make the advance ment for the duties. The gentleman from the country would like a sample so that he can go into the market and negotiate a loan. This, of * • course, is considered, and a small boy (the only clerk) is privately dispatched to the nearest wine importers to procure it. The sample ob tained, the gentleman who has parted with his land makes an effort in the street to procure the necessary advance. He soon learns to his dis | may that the liquor is worth, perhaps, seventy 1 cents, gold, and that the duty on such an arti ' cle amounts to about 30 cents, gold. On meet ing with his friend, the merchant, he accuses him of defrauding him, and he is told that the question as to the value of wines is a very nice question, and that he has been misinformed ; but is assured that nothing, of course, can be done until the one dollir and twenty-five cents has been paid, aud then, if his wine is not as represented, he has his legal remedy. Should the gentleman from the country be able to make the payment of one dollar and twenty-five cents and demand the order for the goods, the merchant would then go to some importing house aud put the amount required in bond worth, perhaps, seventy cents, gold, and pay the thirty per cent, gold, duty. This order he would make over, and thus actually make something out of the one dollar and twenty five cents paid to him, besides becoming possessed of the land. In fact, the gentleman from the rural district pays the respectable firm in the city for taking possession of his farm. I have alluded to respectable firms in the city which tire carrying on this business. It is proper to say that but one instance has come to my individual knowledge, but this firm is unques tionably carrying it on extensively. --The gentleman who applied to me is from ** Virginia, and is a highly intelligent and respect able person. He lost everything during the war except his land, and a bogus firm have left him with a large family without any resource what ever. I say bogus firm, because it is represented by one individual only, though pretending oth erwise, and he is a man who has not only been indicted for crime, but he is well known in this city, and especially in Ludlow street jail, as of potorious bad character. My client, finding that no entreaty could move him to make resti tution, took the law temporarily in his own hands, and administered to him a flogging, which will serve at least as a temporary balm in his misfortunes. Respectfully, ' J. T. D. Expiration of Terms of Office. General Canby has replied as follows to a communication from Governor Orr, relative to the time at which he is to vacate his office : Headquarters Second Military District, > Charleston, May 1,1868. $ His Excellency James L. Orr, Governor of South Carolina : Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 27th ultimo, making the inquiry as to the time when “ the duties of the provisional officers of the Executive Department of the present State government will terminate, and when the offi cers elected under the new constitution will qualify and enter upon their duties;” and to state, in reply, that the fifth section of the law of March 2, 1867, “ to provide for the more ef ficient government of the rebel States,” directs that when the constitution shall have been rati fied by the people of the State, and “shall have been submitted to Congress for examina tion and approval, and Congress shall have ap proved the same; and when said State, by a vote of its Legislature elected under the new constitution, shall have adopted the amendment - to the Constitution of the United States pro posed by the Thirty-Ninth Congress, and known as article fourteen ; and when said arti cle shall have become a part of the Constitu tion of the United States, said State shall be declared to be entitled to representation in Congress, and Senators and Representatives shall be admitted therefrom, upon taking the Oath prescribed by law.” * * * * The sixth section of the same Jaw enacts, “that until the people of said rebel States shall be by law admitted to representation in the Congress of the United States, any civil gov ernment which may exist therein shall be pro visional only, and in all respects subject to the paramount authority of the United States at any time to abolish, modify, control or super sede the same; and in all elections to any office under such provisional governments, all per sons shall be entitled to vote, and none others, **• who are entitled to vote under the fifth section of this act; and no person shall be eligible to any office under any such provisional govern ments who would be disqualified from holding office under the provisions of the third article of said constitutional amendment.” It will be seen that the government organ , ized under the new constitution remains pro , visional, not only until Congress shall have ap proved that constitution, but until the Legisla ture shall have adopted the amendment to the Constitution of the United States known as article fourteen, and that article shall have be come a part of the Constitution of the United States, and the State shall by law be admitted to representation in Congress. It is very desirable that the organization of the new government should take place as soon as practicable after the approval of the consti tution by Congress, that the retirement of the old and the installation of the new executive officers should take place at the same time, and in a formal and regular manner, it is presum ed that Congress will act speedily upon the question of approving the constitution that has been submitted, and that it will fix the date when the executive officers elected under it shall enter upon their duties. If this should not be done, the duty of fixing * the date will devolve upon the District Com mander; and I propose, in the order announc ing the results of the election, to designate the tenth day alter the approval of the constitution by Congress, as the day on which the duties of the provisional officers of the Executive De partment of the present State government will terminate, and when tha corresponding officers elected under the new constitution will enter their duties. Very respectfully, your obedient servant. . . Edward Canby, . «rev. Maj. Gen., Commanding. Congressional Solons. SPECIMEN OF MODERN AMERICAN ELOQUENCE. In the House of Representatives, on Saturday last, personal explanations were made by Messrs. Washburne and Donnelly, both mem bers ot the Radical party, in response to a letter written by the former about the latter. We make the extracts from the report ot the pro ceedings as indicative of the depth of indecency to which the American Congress is rapidly sinking: The letter of Mr. Washburne having been read by the Clerk, Mr. Donnelly remarked that he was certainly justified iu the declaration he had made, that the annals of Congress presented no parailel to that letter; and he thought he should establish that there were in the letter twenty-three dis tinct statements whieh were twenty-three dis tinct falsehoods. He should attempt to deal with them as rapidly as possible. Mr. Donnelly went on to explain that he had only received the draft of the bill on the 2d of March; that he asked leave to introduce it on the 20th; that Mr. Washburne had objected; that he (Mr. Don nelly) had then gone to Connecticut to aid the Republican party in the canvass of that State. He expressed his belief that the objection made by Mr. Washburne had sprung from personal aud malicious motives, and remarked that that gentleman eould not speak the truth, even when the truth would best serve his purpose. Hav ing referred to and answered other points in Mr. W ashburne’s letter, Mr. Donnelly went on to speak of Mr. Washburne, of Wisconsin, as “ mousing around ” in reference to some other bill. The Speaker interrupted, and said that that was not parliamentary language toward a mem ber who was absent, and who was not involved in the controversy. Mr. Donnelly said he would withdraw the re mark. Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, expressed the hope that “ the party ” would beal.owed to go on. Mr. Donnelly, after passing from that point, referred to the charge in Mr. Washburne’s let ter that his (Mr. Donnelly’s) opposition to the bill offered some time since by Mr. Washburne, of Wisconsin, to reduce the fares on the Pacific Railroad, might be attributed to the fact thnt he had a free pass to ride over the road, de clared that he had never ridden over a mile of the road, and did not expect to until it was completed from the Mississippi to the Pacific. It would be a consolation then to know, he said, that that mighty work had been resisted and opposed by every blatant, loud voiced, big chested, small headed, bitter hearted dema gogue in all the land. [Laughter on both sides of the Chamber.] Referring to the charge made against him in Mr. Washburne’s letter of his being “ an office beggar,” Mr. Donnelly said : “An office beggar !” And that from a gentle man bearing the name which he does, Et tu Brute ! “An office beggar I” Why, Mr. Speaker, when I entered the State of Minnesota it was Democratic. When I entered the county in which I live it was two to one Democratic. I asked no office. I expected none. But the charge comes from such a quarter that I cannot fail to notice it. The gentleman’s family are chronic office beggars. They are nothing if not in office. Out of office they are miserable, wretched, God-forsaken, and as uncomfortable as that famous stump tailed bull in fly time. [Laughter. J This whole trouble arose from the persistent determination of one of the gentle man’s family to sit in this body. Every young male of the gentleman’s family is born into the world with “ M. C.” franked on his broadest part. [Laughter.] The great calamity seems to be that God, in his infinite wisdom, did not make any of them broad enough to make room for “U. 8. 8.” [Laughter.] There was room “ U. 5.,” but the other “ 8 ” slipped over, and “U.B. & Co.” is the firm. [Laughter.] The Speaker interrupted Mr. Donnelly, and reminded him that his language was beyond the usual limit of parliamentary propriety. Mr. Washburne again intimated his desire that “ the party” should be permitted to go on. Mr. Donnelly said he was sorry to transgress the proper limits of debate, but the House would perceive that the character ot the letter on which he was commenting made him speak under some feeling. 1 was drawn into it, he said, by the charges made against my personal character by the vile insinuation contained in that letter that I was a fugitive from justice, and that I fled from the city of Philadelphia “ under suspicous circumstances, between two days.” This, Mr. 8p aker, is an absolute, un qualified, unmitigated falsehood, and but for the respect which I have for you and for the House, I would use stronger language. [Mr. Donnelly then went on to refute that charge, aud had read by the clerk a letter from the At torney General of Pennsylvania, with whom Mr. Donnelly had studied law, speaking in strong terms of the probity and purity of his character, and of the public esteem in which he is held in that community. Mr. Donnelly then went on to say: I stand here repeating the challenge, that if anywhere on God’s earth, down in the mire of filth and all nastiness, the gentleman can pluck up any thing which touches my honor, let it come ; I shall meet it on its merits. I have gone through the entire catalogue ; I have analyzed the entire contents of the gen tleman’s foul stomach ; I have dipped my hands in its gall, and I have examined the half digested fragments which I found floating in the gastric juice. But if it is possible for the gentleman from Illinois, by his peristalic action, to bring up anything more loathsome, more disgusting than he has vomited over me in that letter, in God’s name let it come. The Speaker again interrupted Mr. Donnelly, and reminded him that his language was out of order. Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, again repeated the hope that the “ party” might be permitted to go on by unanimous consent. Mr. Donnelly went on, and stated that the charges were not original; that they had been got up by one of the editors of the St. Paul Press, a man named Driscoll, who had been to Philadelphia and played the detective there for some days, aud had returned, having found nothing affecting his (Mr. Doinelly’s) reputa tion. But it seems, he continued, that these charges are brought up here again. Mr. Donnelly then went on to refer to the charge that he had changed bis politics, and declared, in answer to it, that he had become a Republican twelve years ago, and that his Re publican politics were almost coeval with the birth of the party. The hour allowed for debate having expired, a motion was made that Mr. Donnelly be al lowed to proceed. Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, again expressed the wish that the “ party ” might be permitted to proceed. 1 here being no objection, Mr. Donnelly said : I thank the House and “ that other party ” for the courtesy. [General laughter.] 1 will not notice all the charges which crawl over all the surface of the letter as vermin crawls over the body of some beggar. But there is one other personal charge—that I have changed my name. The intention of the gentleman is to give out not only that I was a fugitive from justice, but that I was traveling under an alias. Mr. Speaker, I was, within a few hours after my birth, baptized Ignatius Donnelly ; I am Igna tius Donnelly to-day; and, with God’s help, I expect to remain so until the end of my career. If I should ever be. inclined to change my name, it seems to me 1 would take that of Elihu. [General laughter and enjoyment of the scene on both sides of the House.] Mr. Washburne was understood to say that then he would change his name. Mr. Donnelly retorted : If I thought the gen tleman would change it, it would be an induce ment to me to retain it, but what is the mean ing of that atttack ? It means this : The gen tleman has cracked his whip over members of this House, and has been the natural successor here of those old slave lords who used to crack their whips here. His vaulting ambition over leaped itself. Not satisfied to assail us here, to vituperate uS here, he is going to mould the next Congress, and he is sailing into'-our dis tricts to tell the people whom they shall select and whom they shall not select. My friend, Mr. Price, meets in the newspapers of his dis trict the*assaults of the gentleman. He is rang ing the whole vast amphitheatre. Why does he do this ? There is a simple explanation which is given out in my district, and which is one of the great arguments why they should send the distinguished gentleman’s brother to this House—namely, that he owns General Grant; that he carries Ulysses 8. Grant in his breeches pocket. Why sir, he already feels on his shoulders the cares of empire. He is already forecasting cabinets, dispensing foreign missions, setting men up and putting them down. We can ap ply to him the language of Cleopatra to Mark Antony: “In bis livery walk crowns and crownets ; empires and islands are like plates dropped from his pocket.” Has he not lived in the same town with General Grant, aud should he not, therefore, perforce, be the Warwick, the king maker, the power behind the throne ? I never could account for that singular fact that he lived in the same town with General Grant except on that great principle of compensation whieh runs through the created world. The town of Galena having for so many years en dured the gentleman, God Almighty felt that nothing less than Ulysses 8. Grant could bal ance the account. [Laughter. | Josh Billings, talking of compensation, says : “It is a ques tion whether the satisfaction of scratching will not pay a man for the punishment of having the itch.” I leave the’gentleman’s constituents to apply the parable. I bow in profound admira tion before the genius of Ulysses 8. Grant; I recognize him as the greatest, broadest and wisest intellect of this generation. I cannot think that he will degenerate into becoming a puppet to be played by wires held iu the bands of the gentlemen from Illinois, or that he will degenerate into a kind of hand organ, to be toted around on the back of the gentle man from Illinois, while his whole family sit on the top of the machine grinning, and catching pennies like a troop of monkevs. [General and continuous laughter.] I would say to Ulysses 8. Grant, it it was in my power to whisper anything in his ear, to take counsel by that profound remark of Aminidab Sleek, when he said, “ You all expect to get into Heaven by holding on to my coat tail, but I shall fool you all; I’ll wear a monkey jacket.” [Laugh ter. | General Grant has got to wear that polit ical monkey jacket. We had General Grant up in Minnesota, and of course the distinguish ed gentleman from Illinois was with him, and when General Grant was serenaded the gentle man from Illinois stuck his head out of the window and thanked the crowd; and when they rode in open barouche together, and the crowd hurrahed, the gentleman from Illinois laid his hand upon his heart and bowed his profound acknowledgements. The people out there were in great doubt which was Grant aud which was Washburne, and they came to the conclusion that the quiet little gentleman must be the fourth class politician, and that the pre tentious, fussy individual must be the conquer or of Lee. [Laughter | Old Jesse Grant, it is said, remarked on that occasion, “ ’pears to me that W’ashburne thinks he owns Ulysses, but he don’t own me—not by a darned sight.”— [Laughter.] Shall the two names go down into history together—Grant and Washburne ? Why, Mr. Speaker, the intellect of Grant is like some of those ancient warehouses in the great cities of the older world where floor rises above floor and cellar descends below cellar, all packed full to overflowing with the richest merchandize. The intellect of the gentleman from Illinois is like some of these' establish ments that we see on Pennsylvania Avenue, where the whole stock in trade of the merchant is spread out in the front window, and over it a label “ Anything in this window for one dol lar. [Laughter.] He is the Cheap John of legislation, and that he should attempt to rule and sway General Grant is nofconsistent with probabilities. Lord Dundreary was once asked why it was that a dog wags his tail. “ Why,” says his lordship, “ the reason is, because the dog is greater than the tail.” “If it were other wise,” says that profound thinker, “ the tail would wag the dog.” [Laughter.] Here was an instance, Mr. Speaker, where the smallest kind of a rat terrier’s tail attempts to wag a New Foundland dog. [Laughter.] Mr. Speaker, I tremble for my country. Is it true that eighty years of Republican govern ment have reduced us so low that there is but one honest man in this House, but one Lot in all this Sodom? [Laughter.] Does no voice but his ring out against cliques and conspira cies and “ kings ?” Will no voice be heard in the future assuring the House that its members are all a pack of knaves, that the country is going to ruin, and concluding with that favorite question of his from the vast stores of his eru dition— “ Shake not thy gory locks at me, Thou canst not say I did it,” —given with a roar like a wounded gorilla, and a rush into the cloak-room, amid the shouts and laughter of the House Mr. Donnelly then went on to draw a fancy sketch of Mr. Washburne as he might appear in the Congress of the heavens, addressing the arch-angelsand angels. How he would “sail into them—horse, foot and dragoon I How he would attack their motives and fling insinua tions at them! How he would declare for economy—that the wheels of the universe must be stopped, for they consumed too much grease, and that all expenditures should be stopped except that which would construct for the gentleman an extra water closet. Mr. Speaker, I need enter into no defense of the Fortieth Congress. In point of intellect, of devotion to the public welfare, of integrity, of personal character, it will compare favor ably with ahy Congress that ever sat since the foundation of the Government. It is illustra ted by names that would do honor to any na tion, in any age of the world. If there be in our midst one low, sordid, vulgar soul ; one barren of mediocre intelligence; one heart callous to every kindly sentiment and to every generous emotion ; one tongue leprous with slander ; one mouth which is like unto a den of foul beasts giving forth deadly odors; If there be here one character which, while blotched and spotted, yet raves and rants and blackguards like a prostitute ; if there be one bold, bad, empty, bellowing demagogue, it is the gentle man from Illinois. The Speaker, with severity iu his tones, stated to Mr. Donnelly that his remarks were not hon orable to the House of Representatives, of which he was a member, and that, although the House tolerated them, the Chair could not con sent that they should go on the record except with his protest. Mr. Donnelly begged pardon of the House, and said he had no desire to trespass on its rules or to offend its sense of propriety ; but the House would acknowledge that no man who ever sat in this body had met with so vile, so extraordinary, so cruel an assault as that of which he had been a yictim. He called the House to witness that he had never before vio lated its rules nor said a discourteous word to any member. He hoped the House would par don the natural heat which he had exhibited. Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, said: During my entire time-of service in this House I have never asked leave to make a personal explana tion, and I never expect to. The party from Minnesota has had the letter I wrote to a gentleman in that State read to the House, and it goes upon the records of the House and on the records of the country, and there it will remain for all time. Every asser tion made in that letter is true; and whoever says it is not true, states what is false. If 1 was called upon—and I desire only to say this —if I under any operation of circumstances was ever called upon to make a personal ex planation in reply to a member, it would not be to a member who had committed a crime ; it would not be to a member who had run away; it would not be to a member who had changed his name; it would not be to a mem ber whose whole record iu this House is cov ered with venality, corruption and crime. An exchange has tIA following good thing : We yesterday heard a Couple of colored gents discussing the question of impeachment, when one of them exclaimed: “ What de use of peaching old Andy—he’d veto it I” A fond mother in Boston, the other day, de termined to whip her unruly son, but tempered justice with mercy by giving him chloroform before administering the rod.
