Popular ex perience has long placed this medicine at the head of tonic alteratives. AN ANSWER TO MR. WILLIAM E. CHANDLER Atlanta Constitution 29th. In ouf Washington dispatch of Sunday we find the following para graph. - A republican president, house and sen ate for the first time in twelve years means something. What does the Constitution think they mean as to the fifteen the amend meni? I should like to have Mr. Grady answer. We shall answer Mr. Chandler — but through choice, rather than necessity. No self respecting man is compelled to answer such a man as Senator Chandler. When he, through deliberate fraud and villai ny siole the vote of the state of Flor ida and thereby made Hayes the fraudulent president of the United States, he put it beyond his power to ever challenge the opinion 00 any decent man. These are strong words, but it is hard to be patient with this exqui site hypocrite. Burdened with the flagrant crime and the one ineffacea ble shame of our history, the steal ing of the presidency, he poses con - tinually for a free ballot and a fair count, and denounces the southern people as thugs and ruffians. He was selected to go to Florida because of his known and admitted facility for the lowest forms of political villainy, and he so abundantly justi fied his selection that he had never bad the countenance of even the decent men of his own party. No living man novv doubts that the vote of Flo rid u was cast for Tilden and stolen for Hayes. The fraud was proven as it progressed, in spite Os Mr. Chandler’s,cunning, and one year later Mr. Grady secured, from the lips 6f Dennis and Coxe the de tailed confession of these frauds and printed the coufessisns in the New York Herald. Mr. Chandler was in charge of the republican case in Florida. He stole the vote of that state—he reversed ' by frauduent procuring the will of the American people as expressed in the election of Mr. Tilden—he stole the presi dency for the first and last time in the history of the republic, and be has devoted the rest of his life to de nouncing the people he robbed of their suffrage. History will catch this precious hypocrite and embalm his works—not his words’ In the meantime we answer his question. Mr. Chandler wants us to tell him what the republican party on its second accession to power, thinks of the fifteen the amendment. Our honest opinion is this. The repub lican party realizes that the fifteen the amendment was an awful blun der. It realizes that the amend ment —the most important law ever passed in any government — was conceived in passion and passed in haste—that it is un wise in policy, imperfect in de tail, and has been justified neither by reason nor experience. All this the republicans know. They know further, that while the Indians are brought to suffrage gradually and in w dividully, and while the Chinese are shut out altogether, the negroes, without preparation, were suddenly forced in to our political system. The enfranchisement was not the orderly unfolding of a pre deter mined plan, nor the reward of a race that was developing into informa tion and responsibility, but the hasty, passionate, ill considered ac tion of a party majority. It was intended to perpetuate republican power. It has done just exactly the reverse of this. There is one thing the republicans understand as they take up the reins of power. That is that by no force or by no usurpation of power can thev so browbeat or bulldoze the southern people as to make the negro vote serve the purpose for which it was created. It is on this particular flinty fact that the noto rious Mr. Chandler is fiDftg his teeth. The dominance of the white race is simply the dominance of in telligence and property, and it will continue to dominate here, in spite of statutes or force, just as it would dominate in New Hampshire under the same circumstances and in the same despite. The south under stands and does not complain thereat, that the fifteenth amend ment is final. But it understands, also that fifteen more amendments, even though they were drawn with the refined and expert trickery for which Mr. Chandler is famous, (or the reverse,) can not put the negro in control in the south. In the meantime there is no objec tiomto Mr. Chandler emulating the reformed burglar who, with his soul full of remorse and his pocket sfull of boodle, ran aimlessly about the streets crying “stop thief;” expect that it is annoying. There is no suppressed vote in the south.— There is no precinct in the south at which any man cannot vote and does not vote with perfect freedom. We have called time and again for one instance of violence, actual or threatened, that deterred any voter from voting last fall, in any state. So much for a “free ballot.” As for a “fair count” there has been no serious trickery—no political vil lainy, more than will occur here and there at precincts in any state — since Mr. Chandler, backed by fed eral bayonets, stole the vote of a sovereign state and with it secured, went out from the execration of this helpless people to the cold and ill concealed contempt of his own people! That beautiful "glossy sheen, so much ad mired in hair, can be secured by the use o Ayer’s Hair Vigor. There is nothing better than this preparation for strengthening the scalp and keeping it from dand ruff aud itch ing eruptions. The Clifton Gallery is open, rain or shine. Onr work is done .in the most approved manner, and is warranted to giv« satis faction. Claude C. Maddox, Artist.
