CONSTITUTIONALIST. AUGHJSTA. CGA. FRIDAY MORNING, DEO. 11, 1868 THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. Before it reached Congress, through some knavery at the White House, and in spite of Mr. Johnson’s precautions, the Message was in the hands of parties East and West. After it reached Congress, it received most extraordinary treatment in the Senate and House; the former refusing to hear it read and the latter sending it to the table instead of the Committee of the Whole. While this conduct is extraordinary it is not surpris ing. Mr. Johnson’s Message is a Parthian arrow—a farewell shot—a parting chastise ment. Congress, not relishing the unwel come truths wrapped about the arrow, in terposed a shield of absolute privilege, and so returued with choleric demeanor the profound hostility which the Executive more diplomatically reveals. Mr. Johnson has evidently determined to leave the White House without any manifestations of sub mission to his victorious foe. Personally, we presume, he will be admired for his pluck, and, officially, damned for his in trusions of it. The worst of all is that it has been wasted upon mere lip service and not backed up by active performances. For this reason, the South has suffered a thou sand insults without adequate compensation and been led into many a trap without the least consolation.. A renewal of old agita tions seems more than probable, and if Mr. Sumner is potent in the Senate, we shall yet witness phases in the Reconstruction pro gramme which will tax the patience and in dustry of our people most severely. Our duty, in any event, is quite plain. The diffi culties of restoring our home prosperity may be augmented, but they will not lie insur mountable ; the time of deliverance may be still further procrastinated, but it will not utterly fade away. Each man in his sphere can still do wonders to speed that golden time, by rising with redoubled vigor from a prone condition, making his hearthstone happy and his fields glad with tillage. We know that great prosperity is impossible to us in a chaotic political condition; but let us force from fate, by heroic endeavor, a mod erate share of blessings, confidently await ing more abundant benedictions, in spite of Sumner, Bullock and the demon of un rest that drives them headlong to future retribution. For ourselves, we have taken, as a model through all these desperate months and years, the sublime example of Algernon* Sydney. He lived, like us, in days when the law was turned into a snare instead of a protection. He, too, suffered the pangs of temporary depression, arid was athirst for the advent of redeeming justice. But even inmost melancholy moods, and in the dreariest depths of bitterness, he valiantly wrote: “ God only knows what will be the issue of like 'practices in these our dans. Perhaps He will in Ills mercy speedily visit His afflicted people. I die in the faith THAT He WILL DO IT, THOUGH I KNOW NOT THE TIME AND WAYS !” THE “NATIONAL FINANCES.” Congress will not listen to the Presi dent’s Message, but the Northern people will heed more particularly that portion which relates to the deplorable condition of the finances and the corrupt practices of those intrusted with the public funds. If the South is in danger of further Congress ional experiments in the way of reconstruc tion, the North is in equal danger of Con gressional imbecility in the way of fi nance. The New York Herald thinks all will yet be well, if Congress should permit Grant to have things his own way. If Congress prove recalcitrant in this respect, awful is the judgment predicted by the Her aid. It says: “ Let Congress clear the track before him and provide him the ways and means, and Grant will do Hie work without flinching. It must be done. Universal bankruptcy, repudi ation and clmos otherwise are threatened us. All the frauds anil corruptions in the Govern ment before tlie war were trilies compared witli the abominations which have followed the war. “ Only look at them. Whisky frauds alone to the extent o( a hundred millions a year, and lobby schemes in all sorts of enterprises, in volving millions upon millions to the lobby jobbers and land sharks. It is broadly rumored, for instance, that two millions and two hundred thousand dollars in gold of the equivalent to Russia for Alaska were absorbed by the lobby, for that only five millions on a re ceipt of the whole amount went over to Russia; and there may be some truth in this report. If it be true the responsibility for the corruption involved belongs to Congress. When we find Thurlow Weed & Company deliberately under taking the raising of a fund of thirty thou sand dollars to be used in the manipulation of Senators on the impeachment trial, we are pre pared to believe ir. all these larger jobs involv ing hundreds of thousands and millions of money in the budget of bribery and corruption and spoliations. “ AH this demoralization of officials and the lobby and the spoils and plunder cliques and rings, resulting from the enormous expendi tures, jobs and robberies which have followed the war, must be stopped, or the Government and the country will go to the dogs.” Let the South keep quiet; give the North ern Radicals plenty of rope; devote all energies to every possible system of recu peration at home; preserve such organiza tions as already exist, for emergencies in our own midst. Let the East and West squabble uninterruptedly over the spoils, the jealousies, the varied interests of either section. Interference has damaged us in the past; it will do no good in the imme diate future. Properly disposed, and intent upon whatever industrial duty lies before us, we cau stand the last extremities of Re construction quite as long as our cious adversaries can stand the pressure of their taxes, the encroachments of their legislators and the robbery of those who wear the livery of saints and yet do the work of the pit. Greeley Sold.— The New York Tribune lets out the following bit of indignation over the arrival at Galveston of a lot of cast iron figures, intended to be placed in front of segar, grocery, and other stores. They call them “ coolies A Texas paper announces the arrival at Galveston of a consignment of coolies, shipped from China under ordinary bills of lading.— « Two-thirds of these persons are females, one of whom is said to be very beautifuland the journal from which we quote adds that the con signees purpose selling (.hem at auction to pay freight and charges. Will the United States authorities inquire into this affair ? The chivalry are having their own way pretty well at the South, but we would rather not have a revival of the slave trade. Cincinnati on the Wane. —The New Or leans Times says the Western cities,' though growing in population and elegance with the rapidity of Aladdin's palace, do not wear well, but soon reach the turning point in their career. The last notable instance on record is that of Cincinnati. Not only has the popula tion decreased, but property tias greatly de preciated for want of occupants. Manufac tures are almost at a stand-still; not a locomo tive, steamboat, engine, hull, cabin, or sngar jaill being under way. Our New York Correspondence. New York, December 7. All eyes are turned to Washington, and every circumstance seems to indipate that the coming session of Congress will be a very exciting one. On the eve of. the pub lication of the most important documents issued by the chief executive officers of the Government, it were idle to anticipate their contents, or the influence which they will exert, whether upon Congress and upon the people. There can be no doubt, however, that Pres'dent Johnson will renew his war with the Radicals, and that much bitterness of feeling will be excited on both sides. There is danger that through a renewal or this warftlie South and its interests may again become the foot-ball of the malignauts, who, for nearly four years, have trifled with her people from the most unworthy of mo tives. * I have reason to believe that Gen. Grant will earnestly oppose all sweeping legisla tion with reference to the South; he is con vinced. lam assured, that it can do no good, even from the stand point of his own party, to again excite the passions and con tentions, which are now happily subsiding. Nothihg will perhaps more clearly express the change that has been going on in the Northern mind than the observation made the other day by a leading Radical in a circle where the subject of the unsettled state of affairs at the South were under dis cussion. He observed that he and his party friends “ had made a great mistake in deal ing with the South, and that he was then convinced that after the disbanding of the Southern armies, nothing should have been asked of the Southern people which they were unwilling to concede; because, after all, nothing can be considered established which does not rest upon the consent and good will of the people.” Here .s great “ progress,” and there can be no doubt that this idea will grow. Your election for Mayor of Augusta, the other day, was of great importance in its influence outside of the State. Good order and sentiments of toleration among those who differ will re store the people of the South to the control of their own affairs with more rapidity than this desirable end can be reached by any other means. COTTON. The market is down to 24%c., to-day, under large receipts at the ports. The try ing time upon the market for this article is now coming, because there is nothing in the feeling in the street to support. The depression is likely to last two months. Breadstuff's and provisions are advancing, s imported by a good demand, and consider able speculative feeling. Money continues easy, for the reason that there is very little demand for it. The war of railroad direc tors through the courts continues with dis graceful revelations daily. But the subject is becoming rather tender to newspaper writers. The Tribune has been sued on a hundred thousand dollar libel. RAMIE AND SOUTHERN “ CHINA GRASS.” A Liverpool circular has fallen into my hands, in which the commercial value of this article is treated at length ; and I copy it entire, with the remark tiiat its state ments must be taken with some gains of allowance : “ How many Americans, how many Southerners more especially, are aware, that there is a valuable trade being con ducted and augmenting under their own noses, of which they are scarcely perhaps cognizant ? How many know that there is a plant growing and flourishing (to any ex tent) in Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, yielding a fibre so tex tile, yet so beautiful withal, that it can be treated to rival silk, and to supersede the finest cotton ? “Yet so it is! Growing iu the fore named States, and exporting ‘slily’ into Europe is this splendid product, Ramie or China Grass. ‘We think (our largest con sumer says, addressing the writer) this arti cle will occupy a very important place in the exports of America, provided it is got up in a proper way. We are at present using a large quantity weekly .’ “ Now, what is it—what is it like— how is it to be ‘ got up in a, proper way'—what is its ■value, and wfua its application f I will reply to each of these queries iii their order, sub ject to correction from those better inform ed : Firstly. Ramie or China Grass is botaui caliy named 1 Dochnuvia 2'enaeessiuia,' of the order ‘ Urticacia ,’ so that no one need mis take it on inquiry, “ Secondly. It is neither unlike jute or hemp, but with a bolder, crisper, yet more pliable fibre. “ Thirdly. To be got up in a proper way (I speak of the raw material), it should be dried, when the green becomes white. “Fourthly. The value in the green state is £.'ls to £4O per ton of 2,240 lbs.—white, £SO per toil—dressed, for mixing with cot ton and silk, £2BO to £3OO per ton ! “ Fifthly. Application—Any Americans who have visited this side the last year or two, may have seen our ladies wearing for morning and walking dresses, what might appear to be a spleudid French lavender silk ! American ladies, however, would not fail to observe that though beautiful to the eye, it lacked the iuherent value of silk to the to tch, though superior in every way to cotton. Did any one of these American visitors know that this silk-like material owed its base to their own soil—that it was chiefly made from Ramie or China Grass— and is no other in Europe than the imitated, and so-called, ‘Japanese Silk V’ “Sufficient, then, has been written to demonstrate that here is an enormous source of commerce open to the United States—that in production and process the thing is a veritable fact—that growing wild on. the plains of the Southern States is a fibre which, from fruit to fruition, is of the magnificent value of £35 to £3OO per tou!" A NORTHERN WINTER AND ITS ENJOY MENTS. With the usual premonitory symptoms, for some days past, of leaden skies, lower ing clouds and chilly blasts, a Northern Winter has come finally upon us, and‘to the delight of juvenile masculines of all sizes, and of high and low degree, the first siiqw of the season has fallen. Southern ers iook out with a shiver, as they think of the hard Winter to come; but your genuine Yankee snuffs the cold air with indiffer ence, and even, it may be, a hardened sort ot pleasure, as he anticipates the sleighing and skating which are to bring such keen enjoyment. A true Northern snow storm is, however, a beautiful sight, ahd one scarce to be imagined by those who, living in a Southern climate, have never witness ed it. Weather, however, interferes but little with the business or with the amusements of New Yorkers, especially now, when business men are fully occupied, and when pleasure holds high carnival. High carni val, indeed, for many and various are the attractions in the way of amusements which are held forth to suit all classes and all ages. One which has produced, in ju venile circles, no small amount of interest and excitement, is a troupe of sixty little children, which perform at the circus on Fourteenth street. A CONSPICUOUS FAILURE. We have had Mrs. Scott Siddons, de scendant of the Mrs. Siddons of olden time, then glorious in her fame. Genius, how ever, is but rarely transmitted, and the present instance is no exception to the gen eral*rule, for Mrs. Siddons of the present day, although both pleasing and pretty and well enough in characters which do not reqaire tragic power, yet fails when she at tempts to portray the intenser passion of the soul, that higher range of dramatic power, and thq one which was her grand mother’s truest element. Meantime, the ad mirers of Booth are looking forward with anticipation to the opening of the theatre which bears his name. This event will take place about Christmas; the play decided upon for the occasion being Romeo and Juliet. The part of Juliet will be sustain ed by Miss Mary McVickar, with whom Booth lias been playing for some time past, and for whom, as probably your readers are aware, the tragedian is accused by the worthy gossips of the country of enter taining no small a degree of the tender passion. BILLIARDS. At the Academy of Music the match game of billiards between Joseph Dion and Melvin Foster, for the championship of America and two thousand dollars, will be played on the 28th of this month. The fact that the play is for so large [i stake, and that it will take place at the Academy of Music will doubtless attract a large au dience. UNSAFE THEATRES. Theatrical managers are disturbed by the announcement that will shortly be made by the Superintendent of Public Buildings, to the effect that on a late inspection scareelya single place of public amusement in the city will escape the necessity of extensive alter ations. Most of them are considered to have too few aisles, thus rendering the means of egress altogether insufficient in case of alarm. The story, however, may be only a,part of an effort to black-mail the ffroprietors by an irresponsible set of public officers. LADY ARTISTS. Among the distinguished residents of the city is Mrs. Elizabeth Murray, the wife of the British Consul at Portland, Maine. This highly accomplished lady, who has somewhat recently arrived here, is well known in art circles, and has taken the first position in America among painters in wa ter colors. For some years past she has resided in Boston, where her re-unions were frequented by the most cultivated people of that city. Among other of her paint ings which are much admired for their life like reality and artistic execution, is the head of a sleeping boy. Another, an Indian girl, whose dark eyes thrill the beholder witli the depth of their expression. Mrs. Murray has brought letters to persons of social distinction here, from whom she re ceives muoh attention. Anothcrtlady artist who has won a high reputation is Mrs. Eliza Greatorex. One of her latest ideas in art has been the sketch ing of various points of interest in the suburbs and on the outskirts of the city departing landmarks which will ere long be swept away by the encroachments of a rapidly increasing population. GROWTH OF THE CITY. The growth of this city in wealth and population is indeed astonishing, even to the citizens themselves. No surer index can be given than the increase in the value of real estate, and the rapidity with which houses are being built and occupied. There are now probably in New York more houses that would rent for ten thousand dollars than would have sold for that amount forty years ago, and offers are daily made for houses and lots from SIOO,OOO to $200,- 000 and refused, because the wealthy owners care nothing for that amount in compari son with their ease and comfort. In view of this there are no investments so sure or which have paid more rapidly than invest ments in lots in the neighborhood of and above Central Park, where the value of land was but small iu comparison witli that which can now be realized, as that portion of the city is the chosen site of elegant resi dences. This progressive influence cannot, be confined to* New York alone. It must extend to Brooklyn, Jersey City, Hoboken, and other suburbs, and the time is not dis tant when these, consolidated witli New York, will contain a population of millions. Willoughby. [Correspondence of the Baltimore Gazette. From Washington. THE DEMOCRATIC MEM BERS OF CONGRESS TO GIVE THE RADICALS ROPE —A BLUNDER ING PROPOSITION—AN ILLUSTRATIVE FA BLE—WASHBURN THItOYVN OVERBOARD BY GRANT —FORT LAFAYETTE—A PRISON INCIDENT AND A BRUTAL COMMANDANT. Washington, December 7, 1868. I have great satisfaction in announcing the fact that the members of the Democratic and Conservative party in Congress have resolved that they will not make fools of themselves in the coming session of Con gress. The members generally argue thus: The great people of this irreatcouutry have by a solemn vote invested certain men with the [lower to do as they please. Very well; let us see what they will do. Give them a wide range. Whenever called upon we shall conscientiously vote upon proposi tions as they may come up. Beyond this no responsibility rests upon us, and we shall take care that no impediment is placed in the way of afair trial of the poli cy of our opponents (God save the mark)! The word seems to be “ Go ahead ! who's afeard ?” In the midst of this passive programme, 1 hear threats of what a would-be leader intends to do. He proposes ostensibly to throw a notable fire-brand into the Radical party' by cajoling Grant. He purposes to introduce a bill repealing the tenure-of-of flee act. This, pleads he, will be passed by the House, and rejected by the Senate. We shall, thereby, get Grant, and without loss, and my paper will be placed in a position “ whereby profits will ensue.” At the samo time, by creating a fcml betwceen Grant and Congress, the Democratic party will rood the Radicals asunder. This is a very adroit movement. But, being trumpeted beforehand, is notlikely'to succeed, as I have reason to believe the leading Radicals are not downright, fools to the extent of refusing to avail themselves of the blunders of their opponents. What If the motion of the honorable member from New York should be not only entertained by the House, but acceded to by the Senate, under the pressure of Democratic influ ences ? Would not the member be in the condition of the cat under the mesmeric in fluence of the monkey which drew out the chestnuts, unmindful of its own claws ? In the meantime, T think it unnecessary to apprise your readers, as a legitimate re sult of “ non-intervention ” iu things which don’t concern us, that a'most intimate Radi - cal-relationship has been burst asunder by means entirely outside of toadyism bn the part of Democratic statesmen. Contrary to all expectation, the Man Friday of Grant has suddenly been thrown overboard. Mr. Washbqrn, notwithstanding what Yates may say, is now scarcely upon speaking terms with the “coming man.” Some at tribute this dire catastrophe primarily to Donnelly’s influence, derived indirectly from the Fenian Brotherhood ; others to the ex cessive egotism and domineering demeanor of this second Warwick. Be all this as it may, Schenck has had sufficient power ut terly to demolish the pretentions demands of the Illinois member. Speaking of the catastrophe at Fort Lafa yette to-day, it, was remarked by a sufferer that this was not the only memorable fire at that locality. The whole structure is, and has been for years, covered with a shin gle roof. When, in 1861, this bastile was peopled by many honorable gentlemen, con fined there in violation of all law, human and divine, a fire took place near the maga zine, which contained tons of powder. It had become the custom of the keepers to permit the prisoners for certain hours during the day to go outside of their casemated quar ters. Upon the occasion of the alarm of fire I refer to they were driven back at the point of the bayonet, and the keys of their cel s turned upon them by order of Wood, who had temporary command. I doubt if any act of equal villainy can be found in all history. Georgia in Congress. We never expected any great or glorious things of the so-called Governor of this so called State, and sd we are by no means disappointed at his disgraceful conduct at Washington and other places. Here is some good, plain talk from the Macon Tele graph : “ Georgia in Congress stands now very much like a tow-headed urchin in a clump of hornets’ nests. He is getting stung bad iy, and so are we. Gov. Bullock, in oar judgment, is commtting an egregious blun der in leading and directing the assault, and clamoring with Blodgett and “ Con gressman Clift” for a provisional govern ment, and against the reception of the Sen ators. He is in bad company. He has taken issue with every Conservative Re publican in Georgia and in Congress. He is on a false trail, and no good will come of it, either to himself or to Georgia. “The Democracy of Georgia and the mod erate wing of the Georgia Radicals desire peace. They are anxious to accommodate differences—to heal the wounds of the past, and to place the State once more on the highway of recuperatiou and prosperi ty. The masses of the of Georgia have no toleration for agitators and peace disturbers, white or black. They are as anxious for quiet and good order as any people in the wide world. The topics which almost solely interest them are those connected with the social and industrial development of the State. They have felt the sting of poverty and pecuniary embar rassment, and the cry .is how shall we soonest get out of this miserable condi tion? Never were a people so impatient of politicel agitation of all sorts, and not ten in a_ hundred can be brought to read a political newspaper article unless it has a direct bearing upon the solution of this great question. “We care not how ‘ the feeling in Geor gia ' may be otherwise represented—we say that this is. the honest truth in the case. There never* was a moment in the whole history of this ancient Commonwealth when the people were so anxious t o second any well directed efforts to put Georgia on the best possible footing in respect to social and political order and indusrial efficiency. “ Now it is too absurd—it is too cruel, that a people in this temper should be made the sport and prey of violent politicians on neither side—men who have private ends to gain, or private piques and passions to gratify. “ We know it is easy enough for such peo ple to make out a case against Georgia. It is a matter only of a few outrages and affi davits. W e have only to reverse the rule of evidence and string out exceptional cases. One violent man will make more noise and fuss than five hundred of the quiet sort. One ‘outrage,’ due to a foul and brutish temper, or a pint of whisky, will weigh down the sobriety, discretion, »nd peaceably and conciliatory deraeauor of five thousand orderly citizeus. One vio lent press will out-talk, as to listeners, all the rest, Solomon hit the truth when he said’a simrle dead fly defiled all the oint ment of the apothecary.” The Columbus Enquirer says: “The dispatch from Washington, report ing the division of Georgia Radical politi cians in the wraugfe which they are carry ing on concerning the status of the State, and the admission of the Senators elect, reveals a disgraceful state of affairs. It at the saniestiiger«<*flcTusively disposes of the question wTrether- there is any split among the Georgia Radicals upon the principles of the pasty. J~ Os sore-headed mischief makers, like Blodgett and Clift, nothing better could have been expected than the course they are reported as pursuing. They failed to reach the higher positions to which they aspired, and are ffo retire from their lower public statjdas, never again to rise near the suriacp'Tii the politics of Georgia while our peflple are left free to select their own public officers. But Bullock, by virtue of his high office, represents the dignity and thejartegrity of the State. When he denhsLihe'status or seeks to degrade the character of tire State, he strikes a blow at himseffP as her ChieCEsecutive. If Georgia is not a fully restore State, he is no Gover nor. for he was elected Executive of a State fully reconstructed and restored. And if lie is only making war upon the Legisla ture, he is assuming to be the jndgeof what tiie constitution emphatically leaves to the decision of each House—the qualifications of its own members. Ilis position is an anoma’ous and disreputable one—that of the representative of a State seeking to dis parage aud degrade the constituency which he represents.” DIED, Sudden]. , of disease of the heart, at the resi donee of Col A. ,T.

This paper is one of the oldest an l moat popular Democratic journals in the State, and lias been one of the most successful. It is located in the centre of the State, and circulates in nearly every county. Asa medium far advertising, it otters advantages enjoyed by few papers. Dn ring the past few years Death has stricken from our subscription list many of tbe leading men of Geogtia who wore the pations-and friendl or this pa per from i:scommencement, to lhe day of their death. We hope the paper these old men loved to well is still worthy the confidence and support of their sons. We shall continue to labor earnestly in the fu ture, as in the past, for whatever we may think is for the best interest of our country. With tie commencement of another year wc will enlarge and otherwise improve the I'nzcn, and vse our best ttt'irts to keep the interest in this time honored journal from declining, until such itni -as the people of Georgia shall demand that the State Gcveromeat be returned to Miiledgevdie, when it will be conducted with the ab ility that iu times past commanded for it an influence and circulation equal to any paper in the State. As farming is, and must continue to be, the great interest of this count'v, we will devote more of our attention to agriculture and the interest of farmers than heretofore, and nope thereby to increase our circulation among that class. Will not our iriends assist ns in extending the circu lation of our paper? Who will send us the longest list of subscribers as a Christmas present ? To any person who will send us three subscribers with the cash (19) we will send the paper one year gratis. POUGHTON, BARNES & MOORF, f Proprietors. TO THE TRADE. 50 BBLS. E.O. SUGAR 10 Hhds.
