AUGUSTA, »A.l
SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 26, IRS'?.
| From the New Yoik \Vorld. i
the last holy horror.
When tliat excellent citizen and eminent
journalist, Mr. D. I>. Forney, tore himself
away but the other day from his onerous In
1, ors as Secretary of the Senate and editor of
“ ray two papers, both daily,” to start, as hi
himself expressed it, upon a brief “ tour of
relaxation amon- the decrepit antiquities ol
the other hemisphere," he made a little speech
to Ids clerks and employees.” It was a touch
ing little speech, and set lortli in the clearest
li.vht the obligations under which D. D. Forney
has laid his country. But dhe eloquent orator
did not confine himself to a retrospective reci
tal of his past achievements in the cause of
public and of private morals. lie announced,
with much grace, his intention of acting as a
volunteer missionary to the heathen of Europe.
“While cleansing and purifying ourselves,”
exclaimed the spotless and anointed Forney,
“wo arc educating mankind; and when an in
telligent American citizen like myself passes
from his own new country into the ancient na
tions, he goes there in some respects a school
master.” As Forney has now been in Europe
at least three weeks, he has, of course, got
through with all that the effete monarchies
have to show him in the way ot “galleries,
stone effigies, and pyramids,” and is ready to
enter upon his pedagogic duties. We trust,
therefore, that lie will lose no time in im
pressing upon the European mind the admira
ble results of liberty and civilization in Massa
chusetts, as exemplified in the case ol the Rev
erend Sorcno Howe, minister of the Gospel,
member oi tlic Great and General Court, and a
conspicuous leader ot the temperance and anti
slavery reformation in the old Ray State. The
details of this ease have been set lortli in the
Massachusetts journals with a fullness and par
ticularity which may welt excuse us from re
ferring to them more minutely here. Wufjjee it
to say that, according to the testimony of these
Massachusetts journals, Die Reverend Mr.
Howe, while engaged as a uieinii*';’ of the Mas
sachusetts Legislature in devising new ways
and means for depriving ids Jellow-eilizenS id
the right of moral self-control and in drawing
up projects for the “edification of the young,"
was discovered to have been guilty of practices
which abundantly justify the old legal phrase
of Christendom, and which must, lor human
nature’s sake, be alluded to only as “crimes
not fit to be named among Christians.” As a
physical and moral phenomenon, tiie existence
of such a person might well a|f.raet, and would
certainly toward, the keen analysis of a Haw
thorne. A Satyr in the disguise of a Baptist
minister; a modern Gillcs do Rctz feeding on
the bodies and souls of tender young,l'bihlien,
not in a Norman castle, but in a New England
parsonage, is a study, not for the. social satii ist,
hut for the physicians of the soul. No such
type seems to have passed under the scalpel
and the probe of Forbes Winslow, and it
is no proper function of the journalist to deal
with it.
Rut there is one aspect of this most shocking
Story which it does legitimately belong to the
sphere of journalism to dwell upon. The Rev.
Sereno Howe, upon the discovery of his true
character, had he lived in any country oi the Old
World, would have been incontinently seized
by the secular arm and delivered over to the
justice of the realm. Had he been a priest, of
the Catholic Church in France, or the rector of
a ; Anglican parish, no considerations of polit
ical or ecclesiastical expediency WTVntT! have
been suffered to secure for him indemnity and
jtcapc. Painful and revolting as all investiga
tion into such offenses against humanity must,
necessarily be, it requires but a slight, acquaint
ance with the tone ol the bench, of the. press,
3d of public opinion in England or France to
Eisfy us that npthing could have prevented
such investigation from being sharply, fear
lessly and rigorously made. But in Massachu
setts—and this is the point to which we hope
'that our evangelist Forney will invite the spe
cial attention of Europe—in Massachusetts
his representative man of the most aggres
sively “ moral ” of all American common
wealths is no sooner confronted with his ac
cusers, and cowed into confessing his inde
scribable guilt, than Church and State at once
combine to cover up the scandal, and to hurry
ihe accused out of the way as quickly as pos
wnle. It does not even’appear that so much as
the faintest form of a judicial examination into
the ease was complied with. The man’s own
word is taken for his crimes ; he is permitted
hastily to resign his seat, in the Legislature;
and, with the obvious connivance ol the au
thorities ol the State, lie is huddled off into
the darkness of the outer* world of the Gen
tiles. What becomes of him, or what is to
come from contact with him to other commu
nities beyond the pale ol the Massachusetts
Israel, seems to have been a matter of profound
indifference to the chosen people within tliat
pale. That intensely moral and intensely loyal
community, which, as the French say, has
“ twisted itself in indignation” at the idea that
nobody should be hanged or drawn or quarter*
ered in expiation of the crime of “ treason,”
condones with one consent a tissue of infamies
jxtside which tlic crime of “treason” shows as
a light and venial offenst.' Radical New Eng
land newspapers so “ respectable” as the Prov
idence Journal can exult With brutal joy over
the “ suicide” of political opponents like t,lie
late Mr. Hise, of Kentucky; but no voice
is raised to demand an exemplary vindication
of the moral sense of Massachusetts against
the damning charge of indifference to the
moral slaughter of scores of young children by
the very hand to which they had been entrusted
for nurture and for admonition. This is the
Teally startling ami unprecedented feature of
this last Massachusetts horror. The delver in
to the early records of the Puritan settlers of
New England will find that crimes similar to
and scarcely less atrocious thau these of East
Abingdon darkened the dismal annals of those
lugubrious days ; and it needs no ghost come
from the dead to tell us that fin the intervening
years these luive been carefully hidden out of
sight by those who have pretended to depict
the history of tlic land of tlic Pilgrims. Rut
while for such concealments it may he pleaded
that they are the dictates of a filial piety such
as Shorn and Japhet displayed towards their
unhappily “overtaken” sire, it is open and not
to be denied that the Reverend Sereno Howe,
in his capacity of a moral reformer and a Loyal
Leaguer, has received from the public sense of
Massachusetts a pardon and a shelter which
would never have been extended to him had lie
been a" publican* and a “copperhead.” Is this
the fruit of a fellow-feeling in flic seoiTt, heart
of Radicalism ? Or is it simply the extreme
madness and sublimated selfishness of the
spirit of party triumphing overall tliat is due
to Justice, to humanity, and to religion ? What
ever be its origin, it is a strange and tyril.de
outcome, is it uot, from that profound “cleans
ing and purifying” whereof the enlightened
.'Forney boasts that it has fitted such as himself
to be'the instructors and “schoolmasters” of
mankind.
The New York Herald is alarmed at the re
jsults of the Radical crusade against the South.
■Congress did the mischief and it very properly
appeals to Congress to remedy it as follows:
“ Congress should come to the rescue on this
point. It should certainly assemble in duly and
taive measures to provide against political' cam
paigning in districts not politically free, but
. subject to military Jaw. If it does not we shall
see undone all that lias hitherto been done
toward a restoration of the States.”
f Lord Brougham is announced as very ill at
Nice, and it is feared that he will never recover.
Ti e venerable gentleman, who is *rid to be still
ja full possession of his mental faculties, has for
juiby years borne up wonderfully against the
physical infirmities of age. But even the stout
est heart must yield to fate.
Letter from a Former Citizen of Augusta.
New Yonu, May 21,1807.
To the Constitutionalist :
It is a long and trying time since 1 have
enjoyed the pleasure of direct communication
with yon, and through you to the land and
people I love. In the recklessness of youth,
in the hey-day of manhood, Augusta was my
home ; and now, at an advanced stage of life, 1
may truly declare I have never had any other
home. “’Tls home where’er the heart is!” I
therefore, after a long, black and bloody
hiatus, approach your readers with my heartiest
bow.
i nomas Jefferson, who, in his old age, was
troubled, occasionally, with the cacoethes scri
bencli, had something to say on almost evert
known subject. He made free, indeed, with all
•übjeets ; he shrunk from no topic, whether
medical, moral, social, scientific, political or
religious. In I uni he was speculator, coinmen
ator and scoffer ; and once, at least, he turned
prophet. The prophecy to which I refer had
reference to tlic status and doom ol the negro.
When Mr. Jefferson uttered this prophecy the
status of f lic negro was not, considered a ques
tion of paramount public importance by tlic
then United States or the world. The African
■davc trade had been terminated by law, alter
Massachusetts had made all the money out of
it she could by kidnapping anil selling negroes.
File enormities of the negroes of San Domingo
were still fresh in the memories of the living :
Poston was the “hub of the universe” round
which the profits of negro stealing revolved ;
nut the “cotton States,” as such, had not then
been heard of, and the status of the negro, in
volving momentous questions of commerce
itul production, as well as of humanity, had
,:ot risen to the dignity and importance of a
political question.
At this period Mr. Jefferson prophesied, (I
quote from memory): “There is nothing more
certainly written in the book of Fate than that
this people (the negroes) will be free; and
neither is any thing more certain than that they
cannot, being free, live under the same govern
ment with tlic whites.” The first branch of
this prophecy, I fear, has been rashly, fatally
fulfilled. Whether its fulfilment shall prove
healthful or baneful to the black race especially,
time and the verdict of mankind must answer.
L have my convictions but will not venture on
prophecy, The fanatical Abolitionists first, and
the political Republicans afterward, rolled the
first branch ol Mr. Jefferson’s prophecy as a
sweet morsel under their tongues. This morsel
suited their ulterior objects, now hut too clearly
disclosed; but the second, not suiting their
party purposes, they affected to overlook or
despise. They were devout believers in the
first branch Os tftfi prophecy, but were hypo
crites or skeptics in regard to the second.
1 shall not pause here to prove, such proof
being all around us, the madness and folly of<»
political party now endeavoring to retain polite
en| power by trampling on the law of God, and
by ipimpling the white man down to the level
ot the At all events they have brought
ns face to liicc with ijfi iq good iqanch of Mr.
Jefferson’s prophecy, and neither while man
nor negro can evade its perils and probabilities.
11l what is called the Northern States, or as
some people Sny ; the “ f/overniny Slates," where
ihe Black Republican pwty has Hated ju their
mad ascendancy for several years, tfrey have up
lo [his time been unable to bestow on the negro
political oj«d social equality. And in these States,-
it will be reniarkei}, there is but one negro to a
thousand whites, apd, ihojefore, to confer
equality upon the negro plight ciijjse no percep
tible injury to Northern society, ft would be
like throwing a y/ine-glass of vinegar into a
pipe oi wine. Butin the Soqtberi) Stales the
tyrants require you to take your wine and
vinegar “ half and half.”
Tin; paramount question, the Aaron’s rod
among questions, is: Will you voluntarily
swallow the potion at the bidding of your po
litical enemies—not yet your masters!—-or
spurn it from you m dis. >Bt ? The negro, as
f understand iiis constitution, must lie your
tyrant pr your servant. God made him so.
He cannot fie your equal. By voting “for Con
vention,” yog pndorqa the act of a tyrannical
Congress. After your endorsement, you will
not enjoy even the sick man’s right to yrunt.
By endorsement yon seal your own doom !
By affiliating with Republicans, black or
•viiitc, you stamp your names wjt|i indelible
.Hat*race. By disgracing yourselves, you can
not evade tyranny. Confiscation is, ultimate
ly, more practicable under negro Republican
rule In your own States, than under the mailed
hand of military rule, lte not deluded to your
own destriietioii. 7’he result ol the war, how
ever it Impoverished you, <L*I not degrade you.
Yon cannot be degraded, unless yon qegrade
Mini selves. Walk erect under your military
master-. Their rule cannot last forever-but
belt, r it- shop!,d j.<4 forever than that you
■liould accept nrgro uoi-nipifljp'i in its stead
Hope on,'hope ever! “All is mu- e.rlh 1 ' Eh
honor's lost!” g
Mr. Davis arrived here on Wednesday eve
ning last. On Thursday lie was almost over
whelmed by Ills numerous friends. Being
very feeble, fie was eppstrained on Friday to
refuse calls. On Saturday fig WW! to Mr.
O’Connor’s, at Fort Washington, and flop opt
yet ret urned to the New York Hotel, wheye his
i iinily remain, A-
Greeloy and Gerrit Smith on Confiscation,
, Oil thn subject of confiscation, Mr. Orcdcv
said: “Now, wliat al,out confiscation V I have
lioanl in lliclimond that colored men will not,
1 l,uy homes or land because they are expecting
homesteads .u. Jij.e fruit ol eonlisealion. (“Oat
so!” from black ; “ not so!” from a white man )
Relieve me, friend, you can much sooner earn a
home. Confiscation is the work of years, by a
tedious legal process, if we have passed through
, the exasperations of the last two years
without carrying this idea into execution, we
need not hope for it now, Thud. Stevens, the
great man who iiearjs the movement, and who
in, perhaps, one of the greate-sf, met) who ever
sat in Congress, is the only advocate ol Mich ;i
course among all our senators and Uepreseiili>-
lives. No liilf lias cycr been reported to attain
such a result since the siirroujer of the rebel
armies.
“ The speaker, continuing, remarked that In
his Judgment confiscation would lie attended
vvil.li famines and disasters such as never before
attended this country. Mr. Stevens argued that
8500,000,000 would be put in the treasury by con
fiscation ; put history had never yet furnished
an example where 8500,000,000 laid been put
into any treasury by confiscation. Confiscation
bred deadly fends. The feiplp commenced in
consequence of the confiscation of lands ip Ire
land by Cromwell, two hundred years ago,
were not settled to-day. He did not believe (bat
any wise man wtio was the friend of Hie black
man would advise them to wrest land by confis
cation from their neighbors.”
Mr. Siuit.li (who was one of the earliest and
lias been the most consistent Abolitionist in the
onntry) said:
The North was as responsible as (lie South
for slavery, ife »>ad contended for this in the
North. He bail been chased by many mobs in
his lifetime, but never by a Southern mob. They
were all Northern, pro-slavery mobs. Judicial
annals of the Northern States showed that slave
ry was countenanced by decisions in the courts
upholding the slave law.
The Northern people, cunningly as Yankees
arc wont to do, gave to their schools and colle
ges a pro-slavery character. Slavery in the
South helped the North a great deal. In fact,
the North derived more benefit from slavery
than the South did
“ You,” said lie, ft only held the cow while we
milked her.” I Great laughter.]
[Here John Oliver (colored) proposed three
cheerS for Gerrit Smith, which were given hearti
ly-1
lie had said that there was a common respon
sibility between the North and the Soutli for
the war. hot them both mingle their tears of
repentance, and let neither of them say, “ I am
innocent.”
He then spoke of the charity lie would gladly
extend to the Southern people to relieve their
wants, and if he could, he would for a half
dozen years relieve them from direct Federal
tax.
The speaker next took up the subject of the
relation of the whites and blacks towards each
other. YVhy should not the whites love the
blacks ? Think of them for generations toiling
for von patiently and earnestly. Think of this,
and love them, for such is God’s will.
Tile agreed with Mr. Greeley that much grati
tude was due the colored people by those who
had left them during the war in charge of tlieir
property and families, and in no instance was it
known that they had violated their trust.
He then urged the white landholders to facili
tate the blacks in getting homes ; for when they
had a home they would be better citizens. He
enjoined upon them not to be unwilling to sell
lands to the blacks ; for if you do, they will
judge you to be tlieir persecutors.
Sell t bein cheap, and give them a long pay
day. I >on’t grudge them their newborn freedom
and their newly acquired right, of the ballot. Ac
quiesce in this new state of affairs. They have
got,these rights, and they are due them. He
would also caution the whites against impartial
legislation.
The blacks be asked, why could they not. love
the whiles V (The colored portion of the
audience here shouted almost to a man. “We
do love them." This drew out applause from
the whites, which was responded to liy the
blacks, and very good feeling was evinced.)
The speaker was pleased at this. He said it was \
the best, thing be bad heard during the evening.
i
Gerard Ihillock, for many years editor of the j
New York Journal of Commerce, a wealthy
and benevolent man, once said: “ From my
boyhood I have observed that every man grew
covetous in proportion as be grew rich, if he
did not keep giving.”

Three dogs in the neighborhood of Kenton, 1
Ohio, a few days ago, killed forty sheep, worth r
from $+ 1.0 $5 per head. To test the guilt of ,
one of the dogs, he was taken into a doctor’s „
office, chloroform administered, an opening s
made and his stomach examined. Wool being
found in that organ, they concluded not to sew
him-up again.

llai.i. of Augusta Fire Company, No. 5,)
.Augusta, Ga., May ‘list, 1807. $
At the regular meeting of the Hibernian Belicvo’ cut
Society, held this evening, the following preamble And
resolutions, presented hy the Committee, were un Mii
mously adopted:
In the death of Patrick Gray the Hibernian Be
nevolent Society of Augusta mourns the toss of or Ic of
its most useful and valued members. From the first
organization of the Association, Ids energies ■were
given to the ndvanccn entof its objoets, and zea'cously
and intelligently he labored for its prosperity. Kind
and charitable In tils disposition, he was hy nature
well fitted for the work he took a pride and pleasure
in doing, and Ave to-day foot that his loss has occa
sioned avoid it will he no easy tusk to fill
in the mercantile community Mr. Übay had no m
perior. Mis Industry and ability formed a noble ex
ample for Imitation. Honorable and just ill alt hie
dealings, lie acted upon the Golden Rule, ami secured
the success which such a course cannot fail to achieve,
fho brilliant reputation which the merchants of Au
gusta have always maintained, at home and jibioad,
never suffered in him. Conscious of his position, he
strove unceasingly to protect and promote the highest
interests of alt with whom .he was connected, and Ins
enterprising devotion will long he remembered.
His integrity was unblemished; the purity of liis
principles was unquestioned. No man stood higher
in ttie society from which he has been so suddenly
taken. No man tvas ever better entitled to the char
acter of a Christian gentleman. We, his brethren,
bereaved as we are, feel a melancholy pleasure in
bearing testimony to his worth, and we shall always
revere his memory.
We heg leave to offer the following resolutions:
Unsolved, That the Hibernian Benevolent Society of
Augusta sincerely lament the loss which they have
sustained in the death of Patrick Gkay, one of their
most efficient and beloved brethren, and that they oi
ler their most earliest con iolence, to his afflicted rela
tives.
Resolved, That in the demise of such a man the
whole community is bereaved, for that is a public ca
lamity which deprives ihe city of one of its most ener
getic and intel igent inhabitants.
Resolved, That a copy of these pro 'codings be signed
by the President and Secretary, and furnished the
relatives ot tlic deceased.
Resolved, That a blunt! page in our Minute Book lie
dedicated to his memory, and these preamble gnd res

PepniMi 1 IhiH life, May 8.1, ISO7, at her residence, in
Goshen, Lincoln county, Ga, Mrs. aJaky Ass Bi.m
mons, icl'ct of John Simmons, formerly of that
pi ACC.
Tho subject of f iii* notice wan one whom Go«l had
“ honored with long life ” and with many days in his
service, and it was antjl tue seventy-ninth year of
her ago that her foot wore arrested with tiic tidings
t-h'it her work here was ended. When the good ar *
withdrawn! from tins daik, misguided earth, we feel
that a light is gone out which wc could illy spare—
that a guide has failed mb on which wc had ioane i for
support, forgetting that no virtuous example can ever
die—that “the memory of the just is blissed,” and il
laid up iti our hearts it shall ho as “ Aaron’s rod that
budded,” bringing forth fruit to the honor and glory
of God.
Seldom have the qualities which dignify ttye lady
and adorn the Christian been more beautifully di*
played than in the person of Mrs. Simmons. The
tender sympathies of mother, sister and friend, which
she developed in the highest degree, were united with
the most refined taste; and so governed by moral rec
titude as to produce a character at once amiable, uni
form and blameless. Though left in early widowhood
on the threshhold of a large family, siie Wit rayed little
of the weakness of her sex. She commanded respect
by her firmness, and won admiration by her gentle
ness and moderation. With little qualification it may
be said of her that she never lost a fnond or gained a
loe. She had no ostentatious talent, but all her vir
tues clustered around the circle, ‘tiler feet,”
literally, “abode at home;** and while she was a sov
ereign there she made it attractive by her elegant
liberality and benevolent kindness. In her house was
found a type of ihe heat days qf Southern hospitality,
and it was the genial resort of children and of grand
children, of the orphan and of the stranger. Here,
where she had buried the husband of her youth, and
all her children but one., she lived fifty years or more,
[) reserving, amid the wreck of her memories, the same
u Ispahan dignity.
The consistency and Kindness which marked her
natural temperament move strikingly set off her
Christian virtues. More than thirty yeats she was a
member of the Preshy to iun Church; hut much ol
that Mme deprived of tin* regular means of grace
in her own denomination. This she Keenly felf, and
for some years previous to her death interested herself
much in the oignni/atlon of the little church in her
vicinity. Though she lived retired from the scene of
lnrgp benevolent.operation, her heart and purse were
ever ready for any good work ; and »hu freely dis
pensed to those within her reach a part of those gifts
of which Heaven had made her the stewardess.
“ Nqne turned away unheeded from her door;
Ihu njj tfje nepejy shared her ample store.”
Thus nit witnessed a good profession, and left the
savor of a pious life as an heritage to her friends.—
“Tell me not,” said some one, “ how lie died, hut tell
me how he lived!" A good life will secure a peaceful
end—and hers was peaceful. She was not only re
signed, but anxious to put off tli s tabernacle, and to
bo clothed with inq.put. iit*\ At. the close of a tedi
ous illness she was permitted the exercise ol reason ;
and after making the necessary arrangements for the
great change which awaited her, went to rest with her
kindred.

PERIODICAL DROPS!
THE GREAT FEMALE REMEDY FOR
IRR EG ULARI TIES.
I have tested these Drops in my own practice, -over ten
years, and do not hesitate to say, that nothing has yet
been developed by medical research that acts so power
fully, positively, and harmlessly, in cases of female irre
gularity, as does this medicine. In all n*cent cases it
never tails, while thousands who have been long sufferers
are indebted to it for the boon of health to-day.
Although so powerful and positive, they are perfectly
harmless, and may be used at all times, except when
specially forbidden in the directions.
They have been extensively employed by eminent phy
sicians in France and England, as well as in my own
practice, over ten years, and l have yet to hear of the
first instance of failure. I could give you testimon'als of
the efficacy from ladies all over the Northern find West
ern States, were they not in their nature private. Over
100,000 bottles have been sold the past year, and I hope
am! trust as many sufferers have been benefited. I am
well aware that a remedy so potent to remove all obstruc
tions may be used for a bad purpose, but trust that where
one bottle is thus used, ten may fall into the bauds of
really needy sufferers.
To all who suffer from any irregularity; painful difficult,
« xcessive. offensive or obstructed Menstriiatiof. Lucor
rhea, or the train of diseases that follow, I would say, t
try a bottle of Dr. Lyon's Frknch Periodical Drops.
Being a fluid preparation, their action is more direct and
positive than any pills or powders. Explicit directions,
bearing my facsimile, accompany each bottle.
They may'be obtained of nearly every driggtst in the
country, or by inclosing the ptice to O. (A CLARK & r
