CONSTITUTIONALIST.
AUGUSTA. OA.
WED’SDAY MORNING. APRIL 1, *B6B.
THE DRAG NET.
It will be seen, by the adoption of Mr.
Spaulding’s amendment, that Congress lias
abandoned the profession of the tinker am
assumed the properties of the fisherman.
Under an act of Congress, Alabama, in
sDite of wholesale disfranchisement and
unblushing frauds, succeeded in rejecting
(,ne odious constitution framed by a spu
rious convention. Asa matter of course,
the officers to engineer this vile machine
failed of election through the failure of the
constitution. Aud yet, the House of Rep
resentatives has the infamy to confess its
turpitude, in breaking the pledge it gave
Alabama, and the brazen impudence to le
galize what its own enactment declared il
legal, by ordaining the constitution ratified
which was defeated, and State and Con
gressional functionaries chosen, who were
discarded. Botching and tinkering are at
an end ; the Drag Net is the latest instru
ment of torture, the freshest mode of inti
mating that a “ truly republican form of
government ” means dominant persistence
in rascality. Still, these men who drag the
net are heralded abroad with the title ol
“ Honorable ” prefixed to their names. Still,
these perjured outlaws affect to wonder at a
contumacious South; affect to tie filled with
astonishment that honest white men should
be invincible in their hatred of hypocrisy
and stubborn in their resolve to mistrust
everything that emanates from unparalleled
perfidy.
The condition of Alabama is briefly this:
The Carpet-Bag government which she
vomited forth, is fastened upon her “ pro
visionally”—that is, certain adventurers
from the North, certain descendants of
Congo savages, and certain besotted white
men of Southern birth are authorized to
rule the State, and their relinquishment of
power is purely a matter of option a tenure
of office truly republicau and progressive.
If these provisional carpet-baggers see lit,
they can submit the constitution afresh
the “ people,” with or without amendments.
As it may be a question of doubt whethei
these ruling powers can procure a majority
of “ qualified electors,” they have only to
decline submitting the constitution, and
yet keep their seats indefinitely. Should
they, however, present the constitution,
with ample preparations for ensuring its
adoption, the bantling will be presented to
Congress to be anointed, or not, as Con
gress may prefer, with the devil’s sign
manual- Iu any event, the carpet-bag
scalawags and their white and black
allies are guaranteed authority in Ala
bama, under the protection of West
Point graduates and their mercenary
bayonets. Another fraud has been perpetra
ted, another nail driven into the coffin of the
American Republic, and yet the Northern
dolts who dream of reaction make no sign,
forgetful, or stupidly oblivious, that the re
action has been upon them for many
months and found them unworthy of its in
spiration.
Meanwhile, should Arkansas have voted
down her inguitous constitution, we may
look for a similar drag of the net iu. tha
trans-Mississippi department. The people
of the South can only placate the fiends of
Congress by wallowing in the mud and
promising to stay there forever. When
they shall have consented to obey this man
date, it would lie a mercy for some convul
sion of nature to cngulph the whole land,
sinking it so many fathoms deep that no
new Columbia nr Vespucius, though born
of a sea-nymph, would ever lie able to re
discover it.
HARD TO PLEASE.
IV New York Tribune and its philo
sophical editor are hard to satisfy. The
giovth, having a choice of evils commended
to jer by the honorable men in Congress,
very naturally prefers what she considers
letst disagreeable. Very naturally, too,
tie evil she rejects is just the very matter
which the aforesaid honorable men deem a
blessing. This “ blessing ” is baited for us
in a thousand different shapes, and yet, we
fail to nibble at the enticing fly, because we
are perfectly well convinced that a sharp
hook is in ambuscade behind its dazzling
tail and resplendent wings. Great, there
fore, is the wrath of Greeley, who has
“ gone fishing ” in his old age, and seems
determined upon landing whales to make
up for the many minnows lost iu his pious
adolescence.
Pondering over the probable defeat of the
Arkansas constitution, this Judas Iscar
iot, in a white hat and cow-skin boots,
thy# moans over the troubled waters in
which he seeks betrayal and may And a
halter:
“ The Constitution oi Arkansas is almost a
model of its kind, and is fully up to the spirit
of the age. There arc no vindictive measures
in it, but it is throughout eminently liberal and
enlightened. But the Democrats of that or of
any other of the Southern States would vote
down the Ten Commandments, if their adopt
ion should even seem to be a concession to the
Congressional plan of reconstruction.”
This “ model of its kind” goes beyond the
disfranchisement of the reconstruction
botches. It establishes universal negro
suffrage. By an irrepealable clause iu the so
called bill of rights, the civil aud political
equality of the uegro with the white race is
ordained forever. It perpetuates the domi
nation of negroes, mean whites and carpet
baggers through the medium of a test oath
which uo decent Southerner can take
conscientiously. It requires all ap
plicants for electoral qualification to
swear in God’s presence that they accept
this civil and political equality now and
evermore. The State militia is to be com
posed of qualified electors, that is, of aban
doned pimps of power, exchanging the
; :esent satrapy of United States soldiers for
. mongrel military despotism. This is the
model;” this is ths “spirit of the age;”
'i instrument “ with no vindictive
measures in it;” this is the constitution
‘eminently liberal and enlightened.” If
these are the “ Ten Commandments” of the;
New God of the New Nation we surely
■will spit them out. If the old Decalogue;
had not been trampled upon by the Radica
. ■ rty, there would have been no war of sec-
tions. Out of the dust in which it is tram
pled, we behold a Tixaddeus Stevens
and a Horace Greeley. If these are
gods, what is the use of a Devil ?
JUSTICE GRIER.
If the telegraph reports correctly, there
is one Justice of the Supreme Court who
Is superior to the generation in which he
lives, and worthy to be remembered with
that Roman Senator who smote the bar
barian when Rome survived. Honor to
Justice Grier, who dares to be true to
himself and to his country, and ashamed
that the once august Supreme Bench of the
United States should lie within range of
suspicion and reproach.
APPBOPEIATE-
We suggest a name for the new effort at
Negro Reconstruction: — Spaulding’s Pre
pared Glue.
Nemesis.— The Washington correspond
ent of the Baltimore Gazelle makes the fol
lowing announcement:
“ One by or.c the swift witnesses of Mr.
Bingham aud Judge Holt on the conspiracy
trial fall into the clutches of the law. Conover,
Ashley’s friend, is in the Penitentiary. Clea
ver is awaiting anew trial, having been once
convicted of an infamous crime. Baker is a
fugitive from justice, and to-day a warrant
issued for Richard Montgomery, charged with
embezzlement. These are the parties upon
whose testimony Mrs. Surratt and others were
convicted and executed.”
If the tools have had a modicum of justice
dealt out to them, how shall those who
employed them hope to escape the furies?
Bingham and llolt may yet have to sup
plicate for mercy—the mercy they denied
to others, even unto death. Watch them.
Improbable. —The Boston Advertiser has
a sensation article on the subject of gold
watches. Hear this :
“The amount of gold watch tax paid by
North Carolina was only sixteen dollars. At
the foot of the descending scale we find the
once wealthy aud powerful and proud State of
Georgia—Georgia, whose very name was a re
minder of gold, when the placers of California
were yet unheard of. Well may a tear lollow
the inevitable smile with which we read that
she paid into the exchequer of the nation the
pitilul sum of one dollar, for the only gold
W'ateh remaining in that Commonwealth.”
We think there must be some mistake
about this record. If not, who owns that
solitary chronometer ? We read in several
exchanges that Kentucky mule-traders have
brought back barrels of gold watches iu
exchange for stock. This may account for
the depletion of Georgi t time-pieces.
A Sinking Fund —The Richmond En
quirer and Examiner has but little faith in
negro financiering for paying the Black
Crook convention. It .dares Jay Cooke, or
any other pious banker, to venture a hun
dred thousand dollars in the experiment.
It closes with this grim doxology:
“ The government cannot long maintain a
military force in Virginia to compel white men
to pay the expenses of negro rule, and as there
are forty thousand more white than there are
black adults in the State, the negro will soon
siuk to his proper level, and the bummers will
take their carpet-bags somewhere else.”
If the aforesaid bummers come to Geor
gia, we trust Jibe “ Bloody Cyclops” will let
the “ sacred serpent” We have just
about as many as we can stand. A few
more would breed the plague.
Alternate Appointment. —We have
heretofore omitted to chronicle the fact that
George T. Barnes, Esq., of the county of
Richmond, was appointed, at the late ses
sion of the Central Executive Committee,
alternate to the National Democratic Con
vention, in the place of the late Judge
Starnes.
Time’s Revenge. —When Military Gov
ernor of Tennessee, Andrew Johnson,
laid his heavy hand upon T. A. R. Nelson.
Mr. Nelson is now engaged to defend Mr.
Johnson from the wrath of the men who
made him Military Governor. The Con
gressional Radicals are the only persons
claiming perpetuity. Time, in a fit of pas
sion, will set its whirligig in motion, and
then we shall see some ground and lofty
tumbling of the new immortals.
Still Scared. —The secret of the system
of tickets to the Senate galleries, during
impeachment, has leaked out. The com
mittee heard that one of Mopby’s men in
tended to visit the show and throw down a
can of nitro-glyrerine in the midst of the
Senators.
A Bitter Dose.—Greeley has accepted
Grant, as a party necessity, but the great
butcher sours on the stomach of Horace,
and, in agony, he says: “More soldiers
were needlessly slaughtered in the late war
through the blunders of drunken officers
than by the bullets of the foe.”
“ Aisi.e Financier.” —ln consequence of
his reputed “financial ability,” Bullock is
praised as a fit candidate for Governor of
Georgia. For a similar reason, Beast But
ler is named for the United States Treasu
ry Department, when Wade goes into
power.
Work Stopped at Sprague’s Mill.—
The workmen at Sprague’s great cotton
mill at Baltic—a mill 1,000 feet long, and
the largest in the State or country—are on
a “ strike,” and all work has stopped. The
operatives demand the 20 per cent, which
was not long ago taken from them. There
must be fifteen hundred of them.

Messrs. Editors : While other interests
are being consulted there is one which
should not be overlooked, as many poor
men feel the deepest interest in it, and have
their all at stake. If there is anything
which the hard working man has at heart,
it is the success of Loan Associations,
which are placed in a doubtful position, to
say the least, by the homestead bill passed
by the late convention. Their future ex
istence is said to depend, in a great meas
ure, upon the action which the next Legis
lature may take in reference to them. We
must have, therefore, in the Legislature at
ts next session some one who is skilled in
diese matters, aud who will use his exer
tions to carry through a bill having the
interest of the laboring man in view, and
whose connection with institutions of this
character will enable him to see what must
be done. We have such a gentleman in
our midst, and I desire to suggest him—
Roswell Kang, Esq., as a candidate for the
House of Representatives from Richmond
county, believing that he will be acceptable
to all, and will surely receive the warm
support of each member of the Loan Asso
ciation. Loan Association.

Work. „
Messrs. Editors : A great deal is being
said about the importance of prompt, united
action, in connection with the approaching
election ; but very little is being done. If
we hope to win the victory, it is high time
we were in the field. Judge Reese having
declined to be a candidate for the Gover
norship, the Central Committee has recom
mended to the people Judge Irwin, because
he is known to be an upright man, though
his political views may not be in strict ac
cord with those of Democrats of the old
school. The Judge is eligible and avail
able-
Tlie suggestion of the Committee in rela
tion to candidates for Congress, General
Assembly, etc., is sensible. Policy de
mands that candidates, pure and true,
should be selected from among the regis
tered voters. The reason is obvious. Num
bers who, heretofore, politically, have led
retired, consistent lives, can be found fully
competent to the discharge of the duties of
any office to which they may be called.
By zealously exerting ourselves, we can
elect a majority of the Assemblymen, to
say nothing of other offices; so that, though
the constitution be ratified, we shffll have
commensurate safeguards for our common
interests.
Meu who heed the lessons of experience,
are wise. Vain are the hopes of those who
trust in the North for succor. Witness the
results of the New Hampshire election ; the
Virginia-Underwood-Sprague-Chase - green
back disclosure; the action of the Radical
Congress in muzzling the Supreme Court, a
broken reed at best. There is a trite, though
vulgar saying, “ Money makes the mare
go.” ‘ The admonition to Democrats, and to
all meu, who desire the welfare of Georgia,
is, work! work! work!
