WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 2,18G9
THE WOMEN OF NEW ENGLAND.
We shull not undertake to decide how
far the Woman’s Rights question is devil
worship; nor yet shall we endeavor to
prove that women are made desperate by
the inhumanities of the monster of the
other sex. In treating briefly of an extra
ordinary agitation among laboring women
of New England, we prefer tp let them
speak for themselves, and permit, at the
same time, the local critics to have their
say in the matter of reform. Asa fitting
prelude to the “ National Peace Jubilee,”
at Boston, many poor females of that pious
city have met in council, and raised a lu
gubrious chorus, reciting an iliad of woes.
We learn from these oppressed and down
trodden white slaves that the saintly
Athens of Massachusetts is little better
than a harlot, and, indeed, a certain Mr.
Thayer, a coadjutor with the women, is
emboldened to declare that “ Boston is as
rotten, as filthy and as damnable as Utah.”
Mrs. Ellis declared that the poor work
ing-women toil all day and late in the
night to get barely enough of sustenance
to keep the breath of life in them. We
quote from her remarks:
“ I am a working woman, and I have
gathered some facts, not only in regard to
my own case, but to the cases of others
who toil irom dawn of day until the mid
night hour. I have toiled in this way for
twenty-live cents «. day, and hardly stopped
to put, a morsel into my mouth. One wo
man told me to-day that she made shirts
for six and a quarter cents apiece, and she
has a sick husband who can do nothing,
and three or four little children.
“ A mother told me to-day that she made
satin vests, that sold for live dollars and
fifty cents, for twenty cents. Another,
that she made coats for thirty-seven and a
half cents. There are others who eould
tell you the same, but they dare not leave
their places to come here for fear that to
night they would not have a place to lay
their heads. These women have to go
upon a dry crust of bread all day, and
many others lay their sleepless heads upou
the pillow ami ask God our Heavenly
Father if there is no sympathy left for
poor women.”
Mrs. Jennie Andrews, described as
“ one of the most intelligent of her sex,”
thus speaks of her New England sisters :
“ Their condition is as miserable as de
picted by Miss Aurora Phelps and others;
that this is due to the baneful working of
a certain law, which (the demand being un
equal to the supply of labor) involves an
unconscious but necessary rivalry between
workingwomen as to the least wages ; that
for this no legal provision must be hoped
for, since any law would lie unjust and ab
surd which pretended to prescribe the line
its of a laborypr’s hire, and that no publie
charitable appropriation will serve the
workingwomen’s cause, because for every
25 cents extra received as a gift, the same
sum would be gradually substracted, by
her own partial consent, from her wages
for work, and she would starve as before.;
that the workingwomen are ignorant and
need more skill in their employments, ‘ the
law of demand and supply come in al4 the
same, and skilled labor will then have to
V contented wish the same wages that un
skilled labor now receives,’ and men are
now appalled p, to come forward with
remedial advw.”
It is agreed, in tho main, that this is a
true picture ot the wretchedness of the
Northern women who are obliged to work
for their living, but it is contended, on the
other hand, that pride is at the bottom of
all these appeals of hunger and temptation.
The American women will do anything
rather than serve as domestics. Their ideas
of independence (?) are so refined that they
prefer, in many instances, to wear them
selves out in needlework rather than ac
cept comfortable positions as cooks and
house servants. On one side, is the cry for
“ bread,” “ bread,” on the other side, a vain
appeal for servants at wages running from
$lO to sls per month. Some of them think
the ballot will support them; others talk
of forming an Amazonian phalanx, as it
were, and storming the Bastile of capital.—
Some want an equal division of property ;
others think free-trade will prove the de
sired panacea for ills. Os course, in such a
Babel of opinions, no substantial remedy
was reached and the poor women will pro
bably go on progressing from bad to worse.
While Boston, for years, has been overflow
ing with sympathy for fat female negroes,
her own white women were suffering ago
nies unknown and unappreciated by the
blacks. We have no doubt but these very
women whose shrieks now resound over
the land, calling on God and man for pity,
were themselves most active in bemoaning
the supposititious wrongs of greasy Chloes
and happy Dinahs in the Southern States.
They no doubt contributed hugely to send
Boston charity so far from home and in so
misplaced a direction that it has not yet
had time to quit playing truant, nor the
inclination to apply itself to deserving ob
jects on its own thresholds. We do not
write thus to taunt these unfortunates, but
to show how false all through has lteen the
sham and hypocrisy of New England
humanity. It is something to know, too,
that these miserable dupes of fanaticism arc
opening their eyes to the deceptions wrought
upon them and that this scourging resolu
tion aptly terminated their conference:
. “ Resolved, That the white women and girls
who to day give a long and hard day’s work
for twenty-five cents in currency are quite
as much the object of Christian and bene
volent sympathy as were the negro slave
women of the Southern rice-swamps-.”
The only fault we find with the resolu
tion is the moderate estimate it places upon
New England charlatanry. In the day of
slavery, the negro women of the rice
swamps were a thousand times better off
than the white serfs of New England.
They had abundance of food, excellent
treatment in general, provision against old
age, and no aspirations which make pover
ty so galling to the Caucasian of delicate
mental fibre. We do not doubt that the
rice-swamp black women, even in freedom,
are infinitely 1 letter oil’ than thousands
and thousands of New England women.
Wherefore, the resolution slfbuld have in
sisted that the white women of the North
are a thousand times more the subjects of
Christian and benevolent sympathy than
all the black women in all the South.. It is
then, with no feelings of joy at their extremi
ty, but with sincere commiseration, that we
hearken to these doleful sounds of Massa
chusetts women. Unwittingly, perhaps,
they helped dig the graves of many of our
people, but, they have only succeeded in
establishing a tyranny more cruel than the
grave for themselves and their posterity.
The remedy we would suggest is that they
strive to lead back the country to its an
cient principles of justice. The day that
shall witness a restoration of the true
theory and practice of our fathers will,
perchance, dawn upon a brighter epoch for
woman as w.eU as for man. In default of
this, the prospect for the laboring women
of the East is abysmal, dark and desperate.
If, as some have presumed, their vocifer
ous intrusion upon the domain of man is a
cunning device of the Evil Spirit, even his
fallen nature should be glutted with the
havoc he has wrought, and, in the anguish
wreaked by Satan upon the Northern
daughters of Eve, all human vengeance
should lie stilled and turned to pathos
deeper than tears.
AN EPOCH IN RECONSTRUCTION.
A few days since, we published a nota
ble letter from Horace Greeley to the
editor of the Wheeling (W. Va.) Intelligen
cer, warning the Radicals of that State to
beware of the rebound of their proscriptive
policy, and urging them to hasten the en
franchisement of “ rebels,” lest the re
venges of time, as well as the births of
rebel boys, should turn the tables and
make “ loyalty ” more odious than “ trea
son.” This policy has not, as yet, been
adopted by the West Virg* nians, but the
Radicals of Tennessee have been compelled
by angry dissensions to back down from
their villainy of proscription, which in
cluded more than 80,000 white adults. The
military government of Andrew John
son was the fitting preface to the demon
ism of Brovvnlow. By abominations of
license, the Governor of that State had
power more absolute than a King of the
Sandwich Islands, and used it more inta
mously than a cannibal monarch, who tor
tures the body indeed, but mercifully or
ignorantly refrains from gibbeting the
soul. The splitting of the Radical party
into two mighty factions, under Sentek,
Brown low’s successor, and Stokes, a ra
bid demagogue, and late a General in the
Federal army, lias worked stupendous
changes. To overcome the opposition of
Stokes, Senti?u has iiesh compelled to an
nounce that, he favors a prompt restora
tion of the franchise to the great masses of
his fellow-citizens of the “ rebel ” persua
sion. To checkmate Senter, Stokes has
been obliged to follow anit, in a degree less
marked, perhaps, but equally m advance
of his recent intolerance. But the greatest
miracle of all is Brownlow’s sudden con
version to the potency of “ mercy ” and
“ pardon.” Commenting upon this extra
ordinary turn of affairs, the New York
Times says:
“The effect of the advance will be felt,
beyond the State, which lias been regarded
as the stronghold of proscription. Ex
tremists in Missouri and West Virginia
have found in Tennessee a pretext for per
sisting in their own devices of a like char
acter. Extremists in Congress have pre
tended to trace in the same State proofs of
the unity and vigor of the local party, and
have in some degree justified by its testi
mony the adoption of harsh measures by
other Southern States. The plea is no
longer tenable. It is overturned by the
experience of the State most confidently
relied upon for its support. Tennessee con
fesses that as a means of promoting party
unity and success, proscription is a failure.
For a period it may be effective; but the
period is brief, and is succeeded by just
that kind of revulsion which has swept
Brownlow’s old ground from under his feet.
The party in Virginia represented by Gov.
Wells is trying to obtain a foothold upou
ground which the Republicans of Tennes
see are compelled to abandon,Rud for that
reason alone, we trust, will lie defeated.
The only safe policy is that which rests
upon generosity and justice; and ex-Gov.
Brownlow will expiate some sins if he suc
ceeds in impressing upon the Senate the
lesson learned by Mr. Senter and the Re
publicans of his State.”
That the Tennessee Jacobins should ever
conceive of such a liberal policy, even for
the sake of expediency, is surprising
enough. If t hey carry out this policy, un
der Senter or Stokes, we shall see some
revenges of time worth witnessing. After a
victory, men and parties are apt to forget
their promises, and so it may turn out
with the rival contestants for the Tennes
see Governorship. Be this as it may, there
has been placed an entering wedge in the
proscription of Radicalism which will rend
in twain the entire fabric before another
lustrum. /
Spoils. —We find the following para
graph in the Washington correspondence
of the Baltimore Sun:
“United States Treasurer Spinner and
General Pelouse, representing the War De
partment, were engaged taking ail invent
ory of the contents of certain boxes of
jewelry and other valuables captured by
General Sherman in his ‘ march to the
sea.’ .These articles have been in the cus
tody of the Adjutant General, and are
about, to be transferred, to the Treasury De
partment.”
It would be more graceful for the Treasu
ry Department to restore the stolen prop
erty to rightful owners.
A Bold Move. —it is thought that Great
Britain will very soon make Canada inde
pendent. Englishmen in this country say
that “ in event of a war with England,
Canada would be invaded, whereas, if she
were independent, she could not lie made a
battle ground.”
. The United States would invade her, if
necessary, independent or not independent.
Manifest destiny and the higher law rule in
such matters.
Change of Mind. —ln liis youth, Car
lyle thought Napoleon a demi-god; in
his old age, he thinks Napoleon a hum
bug. The Herald , with cruel irony, sug
gests that Carlyle is the greater humbug
of the two. At this rate, we shall soon
come to Sir John Vesey’s opinion that
everything human is a consolidated hum
bug.
Undaunted. —The editor of the Radical
paper in Atlanta is about to demolish Bul
lock, the man he helped make Governor.
He says:
“ All that we want is time, and t*hat is
before us.” •'
So, the Doctor has no fears of “ perish
ing by the wayside.”
Classical. —Two of the Alabama papers
seem to be wrangling over the Latin
phrase, “ Gred/ti Judteus Apella, non ego."
One paper refers it to Juvenal, the other
to Horace. It is certainly to lie found in
Horace.
Fame. —The Louisville Courier-Jmmal
holding up our colored Assessor to the
scorn of the civilized world, persists in call
ing him Marshall instead of Belcher.
Explicit. —A sign-board on a Chinese
washing-house in San Francisco runs thus:
“ All’s well—we may lie happy yet. You
bet!”
Washburnf,.— ln his reception speech to
Minister Washburne, the French Emperor
indulged in a little Gallic sarcasm that was
very keen-edged. He was happy, he said,
to welcome, as Minister near his court, “ a
gentleman so ‘ distinguished in the history
of his country!’” It is manifest that, in
using the word pays, instead of the more
stately and diplomatic word nation, the
Emperor had regarded for that historic,
truth which'in, liis Lifepf Cjesar, lie says
ought to be no less sacred than religion.—
Washburne is “ distinguished” in the coun
try round about Galena, which all men who
ever heard of Washburne have come to re
gard as “ his country.” The French Em
peror’s allusion to this historical circum
stance was very neat.— Chicago Times.
Contemplated Removal. —The proprie
tor of the Elberton Gazelle speaks of remov
ing his office to Lexington, Ga., on account
of mail and railroad facilities.
More Slanders.
The Washington Chronicle gives in this
week’s issue its usual instalment of South
ern slander. We copy:
AFFAIRS IN GEORGIA.
On the sth inst,., Ellis Lyons, a staunch
Republican, received an appointment, from
the Treasury Department as assistant as
sessor for Division No. 5 of the 3d Collec
tion District of the State of Georgia,
tßtfough the recommendation of Edwin
Belcßer, the assessor of said district. Mr..
Lyons, although inheriting a tinge of ne
gro blood, was a member of the Georgia
Legislature, but was allowed to retain his
seat from the fact that he was several
shades lighter than his expelled fellow
members. Since his appointment as as
sessor, however, the cry of “ negro rule ”
has been raised, and Mr. Lyons finds him
self forced to decline the office tendered for
the reasons set forth in his letter of resig
nation, of which the following is a copy:
Augusta, Ga., May 14,1800.
Edwin Belcher, Esq., Assessor, &e. :
Sir : I herewith tender you my thanks
for the appointment of Assistant Assessor,
but in division No. 5, embracing the coun
ties of Warren, Jefferson and Glasscock, to
which you have assigned me, I find, upon
diligent inquiry, that I would not lie able
to obtain board in a respectable family,
nor have an office in Warrenton, the coun
ty seat of Warren. The recent murder of
Hon. Joseph Adkins, a Republican Senator
of Warren, by the Ku-Klux, the killing of
Dr. Darden by a mob, the shooting and
subsequent exile of Mr. Norris, the Repub
lican sheriff of said county, and the threats
made against Republicans m general, make
it unsafe for me to venture there. As I
have taken an active part in politics, my
life would not lie safe in said counties
twenty-four hours. Notwithstanding the
reluctance with which 1 decline a position
that would afford me a living, I am com
pelled, under the circumstances, to offer
you my resignation.
Yours, respectfully,
Ellis Lyons.
Death of Prof. James Moultiue. —The
Charleston Courier, of Monday, announces
the death, on Saturday, of Prof. James
Moultrie, of that city, at the mature age of
seventy-seven years and three months.—
From a lengthy tribute to this patriarch of
medical science in onr sister State, we take
the following from the Courier :
“ Born almost in the throes of the revo
iution; trained in social relations of the
most refined superiority; of nice sensibili
ties and pure taste; a student in various
departments; and recognized at once by
liis philosophical thought and by his medi
cal skill, Dr. Moultrie, from the earliest
period, was one of those citizens to whom
our people were wont to look to on all oc
casions, when the graces of intellect, the
moral society, the interest of art and litera
ture, required an exponent. He was a fine
essayest and a subtle metaphysician.
“ Professor Moultrie was, we believe,
during the whole period of liis connection
with tlie Medical Society of South Caroli
na, the occupant of the Chair of Physiolo
gy, and, by the way, lie has the merit of
being one of those few far sighted gentle
men of the profession, including the emi
nent names of Dickson, Geddings, Frost,
&e., who first conceived the necessity of
such an institution, and accomplished its
successful establishment as a home school
of native youth. The superior reputation
of this college is sufficient proof of its
paramount use and value.
“ Professor Moultrie was a frequent
writer as well as lecturer. He contributed
papers to the reviews on a .variety of sub
jects, but not wholly of professional charac
ter. Professor Carpenter, of England, in
his well known work on Physiology, makes
special and honorable mention of him, par
ticularly in regard to certain novel and
original views, which lie was the first to
enunciate, in respect to tin* functions of the
lymphatics and absorbents. Hi; published
several pamphlets ; among these an elabor
ate paper on the general and systematic cir
culation ; and these papers, of scientific
character, from his pen, have
marked attention from liis professi®
brethren.
“ These labors secured him a very geu ■
era! acknowledgement in the profession;
and when the American Medical Associa -
tion assembled in this city, he was at once
called to the distinguished position of Pre
sident of tlial able body, the assembled re
presentatives of the highest professional
science throughout all the States. Over
this body he presided with that ease, suavi
ty, grace and dignity which marked liis
carriage in all other situations.
“ For more than thirty years did lie fill
the Chair of Physiology in the Medical
College of South Carolina, lecturing to
large bodies of students annually ; the value
of liis lectures duly enhanced by liis ur
banity and kindness. These qualities,
which were characteristic, endeared him
equally to pupils and Professors.”
A Savage Proclamation. —The follow
ing is the translation of a proclamation
issued by Cespedes, on the 18th of Febru
ary last, five weeks previous to the issu
ance of a similar one by Valmaseda :
Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, President of
the Republic of Cuba, &e., decree:
Article 1. Every prisoner who has taken
up arms of his free will against the Repub
lic will be executed after the proclamation
of this decree, irrespective of his nationali
ty or responsibility.
2. The soldiers of the regular army, who
may be taken prisoners, may expect such
indulgence as they are entitled to under
the circumstances.
3. The property of the enemies of our
independence will be turned over to the
treasury of the nation, and will be cared
for immediately to the best advantages of
the Republic.
4. All soldiers who may join the forces
of the Republic will lie entitled to the same
rights and privileges as those forming the
armies of the Republic, and w r ill retain the
rank they held in the Spanish army.
5. As the present war of independence
does not recognize any neutrals among the
inhabitants of the island, as all those who
are not with us will lie considered enemies,
any person who may allege neutrality will
be judged and punished, taking into ac
count the antecedents of the person, and
excepting foreigners, who have behaved as
such since the beginning of the revolu
tion.
6. Any person who may voluntarily ren
der any service to the Spanish Government,
or to any of its officials, of whatever kind
the service may be, will be executed imme
diately after his capture.
Take heed and circulate this decree
among the military authorities.

told that, at the League House, a promis
cuous assemblage of blacks and whites
dined and wined, and fraternized together,
and toasted Hayti, the favored land of ne
gro supremacy; the negro waiters of our
city did not wait on the occasion, but were
waited on, sitting as guests with the black
“ representative of the United States.”
Why were the reporters excluded on the
occasion ? Were the Leagures ashamed of
this affiliation with negroes, or were the
negroes ashamed of the Leaguers ?

Nature is the Great Physician.
This is now admitted, by the medical profession as

ly provided by the human economy tlmt whenever
anything is wrong in the physical system the natural
forces of- the body are brought to bear to expel the
disease. The great aim, therefore, is to strengthen
the natnr.it powers. This has been kept in view by
the skilful compounders of UOSTETTKR’S
