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.

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.”

THE FEDERAL UNION,
T~*tIBLTSHKD WEEKLY, in tbe city of Mil
ledgeville, Ga., at $3 per annual in advance, ia now in
its 39i!i volume.
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.
