CONSTITUTIONALIST.
A IJGKJSTA, GfA.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 15,1867
Reading Matter ou livery Paj?e.
“PROMPT A.ND WILLING.”
The State of Maryland baa been redeemed
from Radicalism by unswerving faith and < \
alted honor. During the war, her Legislature
was dissolved by military power, and many
members forced into tbe loathsome dungeons
of Federal Pantiles. They Were offered enlarge
ment on humiliating terms, but pieferred suf
fering to ignominy. Sturdy persistence in vir
tue proved too strong for inchoate despotism,
and they were at last released unconditionally.
When they emerged Irom their prison house,
the work of the bayonet had leveled the temple
of Maryland liberty, and the genius of Radical
ism 6at, like some foul Caniiha, amid the des
olation. Then began a reign of terror and es
pionage, a soul-crucifixion worse, perhaps, than
anything similar in the far South. A handful
of wicked and corrupt partisans ruled the Stale
aud coerced the majority. Their filthy nosey
usurped the trade of detectives, and their greedy
paws became golden with municipal theft.
flacked by immense armies and Federal conni
vance, these depredators held the reins ol an
Ihority and made the condition of Maryland
only less intense than the present condition
of the South. Men were afraid to speak
above a whisper, or, if with initiated breath,
in hourly apprehension of Fort McHenry or
the city jail. Women were made, captive, in
sulted ami even smitten. Rabies came und t
the wrathful eye of Ilim.Eit anil Ms afilliiitor.s,
if, perchance, their socks had the hues of Ihe
Confederate banner or their rag dolls the color
of “disloyalty.” All social and political rights
were violated. Men thrust themselves into
genteel society, and stayed in sucli presence by
blackguard effrontery. No house was safe :
from espionage or search; no person sacred.
Atone fell blow the honor and manhood ol
the State was cloven down by ruthless dis
franchisement and inquisition. Nothing was
omitted calculated to mortify or humble a peo
ple whose ancestors had proclaimed civil and
religious liberty when New England saints
burned reputed witches, drove the tolerant
abroad aud made earth a foretaste of the burn
ing lake. Everything that fiendish ingenuity
could devise was visited upon a race whose re
cord in the lirst Revolution shone resplendent,
aud whose contributions in brain, muscle aud
character to the glories of the Union were
second to none of her sister Common wealths.
These savage -atrocities were perpetrated by a
minority made powerful by outside conspirators
and terrible and omnipotent by impetuosity
at the South and maducss at the North. The
tyranny oi faction in Maryland grew from
worse to worse. It claimed perpetuity and
robbed and legislated as if God were forgetful
and liberty dead. .Suddenly, silently, however,
when a lease of existence seemed most secure,
the great reaction came and hurled it head
long from the seats of domination. This great
victory of Maryland freemen, temporarily
eclipsed, was due to no lucky accident, but, ns
we have said above, to “ unswerving liiith and
exalted honor.” The faith and the honor that
illuminated the souls of such men as S, Tcac
kle Wallis, T. Fa n kin Scott and their fellow
prisoners, survived in the spirits of their coun
trymen. No matter how crushed, they never
consented to debasement. No matter how tor
tured, they never acknowledged the right ol
torture. No matter how sweepingly and un
constitutionally disfranchised, they never ceas
ed assertiug their .prerogatives and rights.
Tips mighty pi-oletii, was felt eventually and
with such tremendous vigor aa to eon
sfgnt the minions of'vaoaroby. and misrule
to a deep damnation which “loyalty” and
“ Radicalism” can never evoke from their
vasty depths. Foremost in advoeaey and
protest among the journals of the State was
the Baltimore Cazette. Through good und evil
report, it never wearied of the work of regene
ration and final enfranchisement. It spoke for
thousands rendered voiceless by arbitrary
edicts, and its tonc3 were grand and organ-like.
If ever a public journal had reason to command
respect for lofty intellect and keen sense of
justice, for political integrity and consistent
creeds, for long anguish and heroic endurance,
no journal in all this land uau surpass Iho
claims of the noble Gazette. Defining"! then,
that the State of Maryland in its past and pres
ent attitude is worthy of emulation further
South, and deeming", too, that the aspiration
and wisdom]of that glorious Commonwealth
have utterance through the Gazette— we ask
the people of Georgia to listen to the following
language from a journal we have so feebly prais
ed. The Gazette saj's:
“ Very many journals in the North and not a
few, we are sorry to say, in the South arc per
sistently urging the people of the latter to give
3 prompt and willing assent to the lawless and
ruinous demands of the late Congress. They
are told that as they can get no better terms it
is folly to refuse those now ottered ; that they
ought not to sacrifice an attainable right for an
unattainable one ; that as Congress intends to
force negro suffrage upon them they had better
adopt it themselves, and that, having been con
quered, it becomes them to submit. An im
mense deal of loose, wild talk like .this is utter
ed daily, but those who indulge in it rarely
condescend to apply it to the facts of the case.
Congress, haviug no shadow of a right to med
dle with the elective franchise in any State, bus
insisted that the negro population in each of
them shall be clothed with the right of suf
frage, and threatens if this is not done to make
them voters itself in defiance of laws and
constitutions. When it lias executed Its
purpose it proposes to admit delegations' of
Radical politicians to represent the South in
the Federal Capitol. Now it passes our com
prehension, we confess, to understand why
the Southern people should co-operate with
Congress in ruining themselves, either because
the lalter will not moderate its demands, or
because it the South does not assist, that body
will clothe work of destruction by itself. If
ten States are to be destroyed or degraded, on
what principle can they suppose it to be their
duty to accelerate their doom ? And what
right do they sacrifice by rejecting the Con
gressional mandate? The privilege of sending
delegations to Congress* is surely not worth
contending for when the negroes and the Huii
nieults and the Underwoods elect them, and it
is certainly not worth purchasing under any
circumstances with the sacrifice sf every other
right. If it is the fear of confiscation that
makes some men willing to consent to the
terrible terms now imposed upon the South,
they may as well dismiss that subject for
ever from their minds, for the Federal 6on
gress has already done its worst. When its late
measures shall have been put into practical
operation and the last barrier which separates
two naturally antagonistic races shall have
been removed, confiscation will come to be re
garded as a miuor evil. Wherever the negro
jelemeut will nearly equal, or will preponderate
over the white, the latter will have other and
greater cause for disquietude than the fear of
losing lands, which will be then of little value.
What is to be under those circumstances the
precise condition of society it is not easy to
foresee, but it is very certain that, unless con
trolled by a military despotism, neither life
nor property will be safe throughout large
districts of the South, and that the material
prosperity of the latter will be ’estroyed.
Some future generation from the North may
one day spread over the laud, and, after hav
ing established evangelical and philanthropic
societies, and exterminated the blacks, inay
make it to bloom again. Untie its present
possessors it will be so sad and so desolate an
■abiding place when its better men are disfran
chised, and it is ruled by negroes and their
white partisans, that confiscation will have no
terrors for those who dread it now.
“As to the continued call upon the South to
‘ submit,’ it is but an idle waste of empty words.
The South has submitted, Is submitting and has
no thought of doing otherwise. If the revolu
tionists persist in calling negroes to the polls
aud in registering the validity of such elections
with the bayonet, the South will perforce sub
mit even then. But no oue save a natural-born
poltroon imagines that acts ol submission in
volve or must he accompanied by self-abase
ment. The Southern people know lull well
that the. uiunsures of Congress will lie as de
structive as they are despotic and were intend
ed for their enslavement and humiliation. They
have nothing to gain by co-operaliDg with that
body and nothing to lose by refusing to make a
voluntary surrender of all their remaining
rights, liberties, honor and possessions.”
A False Pretence. —The Boston Courier
exposes the uttei' dieiiigenuousness of Senator
Wilson’s statement respecting the election ol
two colored uieu to the Legislature of Massa
chusetts. That statement was so made as to
create the impression, though it was not ex
pressly claimed, that those legislators were
elected by Radical votes, and out of Radical
good will to the blacks. “Mr. Walker, ol
Charlestown, was nominated and elected by
Democrats in opposition to the regular Radical
nomination,” and “owed his election to Dem
ocratic votes, as he informed the crowd who
called to see him after the voting was over.”
In regard to Mr. Mitchell, who represents the
strongest colored ward in the city, tbe Courier
says :
But the Radicals were determined to client
him out ol his nominal.:g;;, notwithstanding
that the entire colored vote of tile warn was
for him ; and they would have succeeded un
less the Democratic voters lmd signified to the
colored men that they would rally to Mitchell's
suppxirf if Die Radicals defeated his nomina
tion. This ihfftyp spf’Hl’od Mr. Mitchell his
nomination and eiettfog. if Heualor
Wilson is anything lie is a politician.' Jjc must
have been a\y;*>c of the lae|,s ill regard to the
election ol Messrs. Walker and Mitt-beli to the
Legislature, liis statement was, therefore,
disingenuous and designed to convey a false
impression, jyhicli, in tact, it did to the mind
of the editor of the iyijjjimglon Dispatch, who,
in his reply to Wilson, toolkit fog glinted that
! our Ijvo colored representatives were elected
by Ha Republican party. Senator Wilson,
therefore,
“ Lied like trulli, and still most truly Med.”
A Scathing Rebuke. — A noted gentleman
and leading politician of South Carolina has,
under the pseudoiuyro of “Justice," attempted
the defense of Gen. Sickles and his Order No.
10. This apology from a resident of our sister
State was directed at the National Intelligencer,
which uncompromising champion of the Con
stitution ynd true Republican liberty had
inveighed against the usurpations of tbe mili
tary commander. From the eur-yiaifts of “Jus
tice” we would suppose him to he no less a
character than Jam«S L. Oku. Be lie whom
he may, the Intelligencer dissects Mm thus :
“ And now a word as to 1 Justice, ’ who has
chosen to institute a comparison between 1 the
writer for the Intelligencer ’ and the author of
Order No. 10. It is simply incredible that a
gentleman who has so sturdily adhered to the
right oj secession, and made such heavy sacri
fices in adhesion to his uitus pftfilf government,
should, be so revolutionized as to endorse the ar
bitrary interference of the military with the
civil authority. We say nothing about the cu
logium of General Sickles. That is a matter ol
taste. Jtut it is not the least painful evidence oJ
the melancholy state of affairs ill South Caro
lina that one of her leading sons should have
condescended to become the author of the. article
signed 1 Justice.'
Haku Pushed. —The Radicals at the North
are so hard pushed that they arp obliged to
send missionaries among the Southern negroes
aud demoralized while men That these deluded
whites may have the benefit of information as
to the designs and vices of their new allies, we
reproduce a secret circular recently unearthed
in Maryland and unquestionably at work in
Georgia :
Instructions
Eon the Organization of Republican Clubs
among the Colored People.
In accordance with the resolutions of the
State Convention of the Republican party, the
colored people of county are requested to
organize as follows;
1. The}’will cause to be made as early as pos
sit-le an accurate list of the names of every
colored man above the age of 21 years in each
Election District in the county.
2. In order that the full colored vote of the
county may be polled at any election that may
hereafter be held for delegates to a State Con
vention, they are requested to organize at
once, at such places as may he most convenient,
a Republican club, to be composed only of
colored men over the age of 21 years.
J. In order that the work of these cluhs may
be thorough, they are requested to choose a
chairman and secretary and keep a correct miu-
ute of all their proceedings.
4. They are requested to keep their proceed
ings strictly private - not to admit to their meet
ing's any person under 31 years ot age, and es
pecially no females. They should talk of their
proceedings only among the men.
5. They are requested to suffer no delay in
organizing—to make it early and complete, so
that when an election shall be held every color
ed man in the county shall be at the polls, and
none others.
fi. When the lists of any district are finished,
they should be returned without delay to ,
member of State Central Committee, at .
April 14th, 1867.
The attention of those whites who dream of
forming a “ Black Republican Party ” in this
Slate Is respectfully called to the foregoing.
More Jacobin Tyranny.— Advices from
New Orleans state that the Times , Crescent and
Picayune have received official warning that
they must not publish articles reflecting upon
the Reconstruction net, although the dispatch
goes ou further to inform us, they are to be
graciously accorded the privilege of attacking
the Radical party or the Administration.

Shooting Affray.— A shooting affray oc
curred about 11 o’clock on Wednesday night,
at a ball given at a house ot ill repute, in the
lower part of the city, in which a man named
Jmi Burns, from Twiggs county, received two
shots, one of which it is thought will terminate
latally. The first shot struck in oue side of the
chest and ploughed through the flesh across it.
The next struck him about four inches below
the right nipple, and lodged in the back, from
which it was extracted by Dr. Boone. The
wounded man, we learn, lies in a very critical
situation. It Is not known positively by whom
the shots were ffired, though several persons
have been arrested and put under bond as par
ties to it.— [Macon Messenger.
Obituary. —We regret to have to record the
death of Dr. Holmes Steele, Mayor ol Jackson
ville, which occurred in that city on the 6th
inst., of congestion of the brain. Dr. S. was
well known to many of our citizens as a prac
tising physician here for several years. He was,
we think, a native of Charleston ; at any rate,
his family connections were all residents of that
city, and identified with the first families of the
Palmetto State.
His fnneral took place on the Bth, and was
attended by the City Council, the Masonic fra
ternity and a very large cottcourse of citizens.

Serious Stabbing Affair.— The mate of the

back by a sailor named James Graham, who,
with two Others, had just shipped on the ves

Shoulder blade, and penetrated the lung. Dr.
Reed, who attended the unfortunate man, has
little hopes lor his recovery.

| GRAND CHARITABLE
PRESENTATION
. CONCERT! •
IN AID OF THE
i Southern Orphan’s Association.
Incorporated by the Legislature of Virginia,
January 10,1867.
To be given at the
? Nla/rylaiid Institute,
BALTIMORE,
June 17, 1867.
The Profits of this Concert will be given to the
Southern Orphan’s Association to the sub
joined address from the officers ol
which we call the atten
tion of the public:
“ Wit, tlie officers of the Southern Orphan's A sso
clation lor the maintenance and education of the desti
tute orphans ot deceased Southern soldiers anil sailors,
earnestly solicit the sympathy and co-operation in <mr
Grand 1 resentation Concert, ot all who desire to see
the ‘ Home and School ’ enabled to receive and cure
for all needy ones who seek its shelter and protection.
“Thanking our friends for their past contributions
and assistance, we again appeal to them to help us in
a mote extensive enterprise. It is the design of this
Association to erect, a ’Home and School' for the or
phans of the tioutli, liotii male and female, on an ex
tensive scale, in the city of Richmond, Va. As an in
ducement to have the building located there, the Com
mon Council of that city have guaranteed ten acres ot
land, in an elevated and healthful location, and will
increase the quantity of land If needed.
“ It Is with a confident hope in a favorable response
to this appeal to a public which has never yet failed to
sustain a charitable institution, that we have entered
into an arrangement with Messrs. 1,. T. PALM ER A
CO., No. 13 Holliday street, Baltimore, to organize a
Grand Mutual Presentation Concert for its benefit, and
earnestly solicit the kindly aid and patronage ol the
public, to ensuro its succecs.”
(Signed)
Mrs. J. L. HAMMOND, President,
Baltimore, February 18,1887.
TRUSTEES:
Mrs. E. A. T. Mkars, Baltimore.
Mrs. J. H. Borne us, “
Mrs. Chas. MoCobuin, “
Mrs. J. L. Hammond, “
Mrs. Uon. James Lyons, Richmond.
Mrs. Thos. Branch, “
Mrs. Jambs Thomas, “
It may seem unnecessary to add a single word to the
above address, but the calls upon the Institution have
been so numerous and pressing, arid Die struggle
through which it is now passing to widen the circle of
its charities, is of such an arduous nature that the man
agement cannot too strongly urge upon the humane
and sympathetic everywhere, an active participation
in this additional attempt to alleviate tlic sad condition
of great numbers of helpless children, tendered thus
by the terrible war through which we have passed,—
And assuredly, whatever may have been the relative
political views of ladies »nd gentlemen heretofore,
all must agree that the children referred to could not,
by any possibility, have had any agency in bringing
about their present deplorable and destitute condition,
and are suitable objects for the charity of qll persons
of whatever shade of political opinion., The “ Home
and School” which they now, tqcqvi particularly seek
to establish and endow, will be of Incalcula >le ben,-fit
by providing not only food uud raiment, but likewise
solid uml thorough education thus qualifying them lor
future usefulness to society at large. In igder that this
appeal may be effectual in enlisting the active interest
and co-operation of all ctaEftCg of persons everywhere,
we have concluded to issue for the
GRAND PRESENTATION
