WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 9, 1869
ICE.
Prompted by an article in the New Or
leans Picayune, a fortnight ago, we briefly
sketched the progress of what may be called
Ice-culture in Louisiana and the interior
places of Mississippi and Texas. We were
impressed, as all of our reactors must have
been, with the marvelous development of a
cheap system of ice-making, and we intru
ded a hope that some of our moneyed men
would investigate the matter and move in
it for their own benefit and the public weal.
Incidentally, allusion was made to Colonel
Camille Girardey, who began his opera
tions in Augusta with the first French ma
chines imported into this country. We
asked how it was that Augusta had been
abandoned by him for New Orleans, and it
seemed to us reproachful that a blessing
which had once been vouchsafed us should
have been permitted to elude our grasp. It
appears that Col. Girardey was attracted
by these remarks in the Constitutionalist,
. and, as the subjoined communication will
explain, deems them worthy of elaborate
notice. He thus writes:
New Orleans, June 3, 1869.
Mr. Editor: The editorial in your issue
of the 27th of May last, with the above
heading, makes allusion to me, and is con
strued as requiring an answer to your
query, why it was that I gave Augusta the
go-by in not establishing one of our ice
manufacturing establishments in your
city.
I will not disguise the pleasure which
your opportunity to reply affords me.
This invention is no novelty to your read
ers. Its many advantages were repeatedly
presented during the latter days of the
Confederacy and after the termination of
the war. I feel, therefore, that I was justi
fiable in giving your city the “ go-by.”
Had I had the fortune, or misfortune, to
have been raised in Yankeedom , this enter
prise would, doubtless, have secured the
assistance of your capitalists; but as I
was raised in Augusta, “a prophet in his
own land hath seldom any merit.” I hope
I may be pardoned for presuming to have
proven an exception to this rule, because,
having demonstrated the principle by man
ufacturing ice with machinery in your own
midst, the theory was considered thorough
ly established.
It was then, and is now, my earnest de
sire to have assisted in establishing this
interesting and beneficial industry, not
alone at Augusta, but at every important,
city of your great State. Had the cause
for which many of us suffered been suc
cessful, this splendid industry was des
tined to prove a fruitful source of wealth
in the political economy ol' the South.
Statistics show that, previous to the war,
upwards of 500,000 tons annually were
shipped South by the North, one-half of
which was probably consumed, the re
mainder lost by melting, the item of melt
ing increasing the cost to the consumer;
the value of which import is estimated to
be fifty millions.
By our process we dispense with this
drain. Our machines are made to pro
duce daily whatever quantity each com
munity requires, at a price so low (three
dollars per ton) that it is placed within
reach and use of all. [ We are able to defy
successful competition by importers.
Our Louisiana Ice Manufacturing Com
pany, in this city, has spent some $500,000
to equip and erect its splendid establish
ment. It has six ice machines- —aggregate
capacity of seventy-live tons per diem
selling all it can produce, charging % cent
per pound, or fifteen dollars per ton, or one
cent per pound by retail in quantities less
than five hundred pounds; proving clearly
that, notwithstanding the combination of
Northern ice dealers, in their opposition to
this industry, this invention is not only a
mechanical triumph but a commercial suc
cess.
If your people will organize a company
for Augusta, we are prepared to give them
superior facilities. In this way Augusta
may secure its own Ice Manufacturing Es
tablishment, as much a necessity as its Gas
and Water Works.
Our machines produce, each, twelve tons
daily. You have a demand for the product
certainly, during five months of the year,
making 1,800 tons.
If sold at cents per pound, or
S3O per ton will yield $54,000
Cost to manufacture, $3
per ton $5,400
Other contingencies 8,600 — 14,000
$40,000
Equal to 40 per cent, annually on a capi
tal of SIOO,OOO. It will require probably
little more than half the amount to estab
lish it in your city. Conducted and man
aged with the sagacity so characteristic of
Georgians, this enterprise is susceptible of
yielding the most remunerative results.
The annual return of seasonable heat can
scarcely be prevented by Yankee ingenui
ty ; neither can the distance from the North
Pole to the South likely be shortened by
any legislation on the part of Congress in
its effort at reconstruction !
Your Savannah, Chattahoochee and Ock
mulgee can furnish the raw material as
cheap as that drawn from the Mississippi.
Let your men of enterprise and capital then
take hold of this industry, and your com
munity will secure therefrom the same
cheap commodity, satisfactory pride and
profit, as experienced by the people of New
Orleans in its Ice Manufacturing Estab
lishment. Truly, yours,
C. E. Gikardey.
We regret for his sake and our own that the
cold shoulder given him in Augusta should
have compelled a change of base, and trust
that the hurly-burfy immediately conse
quent upon the termination of the war had
more to do with this disparagement than
any indigenous apathy of our capitalists.
If the New Orleans Ice Company has
been equipped for $500,000, we should think
one-tenth of that sum would be sufficient
for our city. From the statistics given we
should say that the requisite amount might
be raised without great difficulty and raised,
too, with a promptness which would insure
us cheap ice during this Summer. In this
connection we are happy to state that a
gentleman of wealth and great practical
enterprise, who has recently made Augusta
his place of residence, is busily engaged in
the collection of information, preliminary to
the starting of such an enterprise. If
properly seconded, his project can not but
prove successful. We trust it will not fail
and that, before the scorching Summer
suns have fully spent their fury, the ejacu
lation of “ Let us have Ice /” may be changed
to the glad tidings “ 2he Ice has Come /”
A Storm Brewing. —A California cor
respondent writes to th* New York Ex
press :
“ Look ahead a few years! When this
coast, producing its own provisions, mining
its own gold, raising its own flour, cotton,
wool and silk, with the cheapest labor of
the world, and manufacturing these pro
ductions into all the forms required—when
thus independent of the world, we want a
market for our surplus. Will we submit
to a tariff upon other nations’ goods, the
only eflfect of which upon us is to prevent
the introduction of our surplus into those
countries which need them ? Will we sub
mit to this, merely to please those 4,000 to
5,000 miles away from us, that they may '
be enabled by that extra tax upon ourselves
to keep in competition with us ?”
If you don’t submit you will be coerced.
If coerced, you will be reconstructed. If
reconstructed, heaven and.John Chinaman
have mercy on your souls!
Poor Girls.— Massachusetts has 63,000
more women than men. No wonder the
unprotected females are always qii the
rampage.
Good.— The Philadelphia Age translates
Zr homme qui Hit into Smiler Colfax.
Personal. —We were pleased to welcome
to our sanctum, on yesterday, Salem
Dutcher, Esq., now editorially connected
with the New York World. Mr. Dutcher
has just returned from an attendance upon
the conventions of Memphis and New Or
leans. He proposes tarrying with us for a
few days, in order somewhat to recuperate
his mental and physical powers, which
have been unremittingly taxed during the
last few mouths. We wish him a pleasant
sojourn in our midst, and we know that
his many friends in Augusta will give him
a cordial welcome.
An Old Georgia Schoolmaster.—The
Eatonton Press and Messenger , some time
ago, published a prospectus of the Union
Academy of Putnam county, which was
originally presided over by no less a person
than Wm. H. Seward, lie is thus de
scribed professionally:
“ The rector, Mr. William 11. Seward, is
late from Union College, New. Tfork, from
which institution he comes highly recom
mended as a young gentleman of good
moral character and distinguished industry
and literary acquirements. He will teach
the Latin and Greek languages, theoretical
and practical mathematics, logic, rhetoric,
natural and moral philosophy, chemistry,
geography, English grammar, and such
other branches as are usually taught in
Northern colleges.”
That was in 1819. What a career the
man has had since that time ! We under
stand that his hatred of Southern men
began in Georgia and was mainly super
induced by being splashed with mud by
the cavaliers of the day as he walked hum
bly and they rode rampantly to and fro.
This statement is the more easily credited
when it is known that Mr. Davis’ confine-'
ment at Fortress Monroe was protracted
by him when Secretary of State. Every
time Seward looked in the glass and saw
the gashes made by Payne, he registered a
vow to glut his vengeance upon Jeffer
son Davis as the vicarious sufferer for the
entire South.
Grant and Wade. —These two worthies
had an interview lately, when the following
dialogue ensued :
“Grant—How do you like private life,
Wade, after being so long in the Senate ?
“ Wade—lt’s just like a boy getting out
of school ; have no bother with fellows run
ning after me for this, that, and the other
thing, and I can enjoy myself and feel in
dependent.
“ Grant—Private life is the best, I guess,
Mr. Wade ; there is more peace to it, and
then you are your own master.
“ Wade —Well, I would be that, anyhow.
When I was Senator, l»never allowed any
of those fellows to boss me. I always had
my own way.”
It is not reported that Grant retorted
anything to Wade’s last words, but the
presumption is that he “ kept up a devil of
a thinking.”
Progress.— Theatre managers in Wash
ington are now compelled to admit negroes
to any part of the house. Whereupon, the
New York Herald, which pushed forward
the man who pushes the negro, says:
“ We should not be astonished if this
linally led to the settlement there of all the
wealthy darkies in the country and of such
an influx of others as to crowd out white
shopkeepers, restaurateurs, tailors, ser
vants and laborers. Indeed, there is no
need for anybody there but darkies, legis
lators and reporters, and if these had the
place to themselves it might be better for
the country.”
Yes, for the country will never get bet
ter until it gets worse. The poor country
is big with impending fate.
Chief Justice Chase. —The New York
Herald thinks Chief Justice Chase has the
inside track for a Democratic nomination
for the Presidency in 1872. It says :
“From present appearances, our politi
cal parties, before the year 1872, especially
the dominant party, will be in an excel
lent position of demoralization and con
fusion, to be manipulated and moulded
with the Democracy into a powerful Chase
movement in opposition to the administra
tion.”
If the Chief Justice would only renounce
his heresy with regard to the negro, he
would be a most formidable champion in a
new struggle for the restoration of the Fed
eral system of our Fathers.
Anna Dickinson. —lt seems that Gree
ley is mad with Anna Dickinson. The
Tribune man says:
“ There is one point upon which we must
set this young lady right. She fancies that
she has sounded the depths of our political
depravity, and that she knows all the sins
and iniquities of our political operations.”
Then he lectures her as if perfectly in
nocent of forbidden knowledge. But the
woman who has written what she has writ
ten only needs more step to souud the
lowest depths of all.
Gone. —Reviewing the political situation
with satisfaction elsewhere, Forney thus
gloomily speaks of Georgia:
“ Georgia is hopelessly gone, unless Con
gress again intervenes. The Democracy
have the advantage in this State, and will
hold It if their usurpation is not counter
acted.”
It is rather late in the day to interfere
with Georgia when even the Radicals in
Tennessee are growing magnanimous.
An Eye to Windward. —The Philadel
phia Press, of the 3d, lias these paragraphs:
“ Mrs. Lincoln.—Mrs. Grant does potcon
ceal her anxiety that Congress should vote
a pension to Mrs. Lincoln.
Mrs. Lincoln is said to have at least one
advocate of a pension, and by womanly
sympathy that advocate is Mrs. Gi-ant.”
A captious Copperhead calls this a con
venient precedent.
Poor Whites vs. Negroes.— The poor
whites are disfranchised in Rhode Island
in default of the ownership of $134 worth
of real estate. But the worthless negroes
are to lie enfranchised wholesale by the
XVth Amendment.
A. T. Stewart. —The New York corres
pondent of the Mobile Register asserts posi
tively that A. T. St rwart lias been receiv
ed by Archbishop McCloskey into the
Catholic Church.
Queer.—lt is said that Simon Cameron
is the only one of Lincoln’s original Cabinet
who sustains the Radical party.
Broughton. The Lord Broughton,
who died the other day, was John Cam
llobhouse, Byron’s friend.
Small Pox in New York.—The small
pox in New York city is prounced epi
demic, though it is said to lie well under
control. The New York Time* says:
• “The existence of numerous cases of
small pox in the city for several months
past has been well known to the Board of
Health and other authorities, but, for com
mercial as well as sanitary reasons, the in
telligence has been concealed from the
general public. The active efforts of the
Board of Health to prevent the spread of
the disease have been very effective.”
An Immense Diamond Pound in Afri
ca.—The Cape Town Argus announces the
discovery in that vicinity of a diamond
weighing eighty-three and a half carets,
and valued at twenty-five thousand pounds
sterling. The Kohinoor diamond weighs
110 carets.
Letter from Warren.
CIVIL LAW OVERTHROWN.
SIX citizens arrested and thrown into
JAIL BY THE MILITARY AT THE BIDDING OF
ONE NORRIS —THE WRIT OF HABEAS COR
PUS TREATED WITH CONTEMPT.
Wariienton, June Bth, 1869.
Editors Constitutionalist :
Since my last, Norris has returned from
Atlanta, bringing with him 150 more troops.
Yesterday at 5, p. m., the reign of tyranny
commenced. Backed by the military, who
are subservient to his orders, he arrested,
without warrant or legal process, John
Raley, the legal sheriff of our county,
marched him to jail, under an escort of a
company of soldiers and locked him in.
Raley made no resistance, but quietly hand
ed the keys over and marched in. About
9, p. m., a party of young men (4) had as
semlded to practice music, and were sitting
in a piazza, located on the opposite side of
the square from the jail. Norris took it
as a demonstration in honor of Raley
and would have arrested the entire
party, but for the kind interference of
the officer who commanded the guard.
The young men explained to the officer
why they had met (it" being their regular
evening to practice), and asked if they
would be allowed to practice inside of the
store. The officer giving his consent, they
adjourned to Hall & Shields’ drug store,
and were quietly enjoying themselves, when
Norris walked in with a guard, surveyed
the party, singled out Air. E. E. Cody,
asked him his name, and told him to con-,
sider himself under arrest, then ordered the
guard to march him off to jail. About 11,
p. ni., he carried his guard to the residence
of Mr. E. C. Cody (three miles from town),
arrested him and confined him in jail.
Messrs. J. M. Cydy and 11. Martin were
the next victims. They were arrested about
12 o’clock.
Captain A. J. Hartley, the editor of the
Clipper, hearing that the scoundrel Norris
was-looking for him, reported to the officer
commanding the military, and was placed,
by Norris, in company with the other gen
tlemen named.
Thus, in one night, six of our citizens
have been arrested and confined in jail,
without warrant, or legal process of any
character—no charges made, no reason as
signed.
Yesterday afternoon a Writ of habeas cor
pus was served oil the military, and also on
Norris, in Raley’s case. The military were
ready and willing to answer, but Norris re
fused to answer it. Another writ was
served on him last night, lie received it,
ami coolly replied that he would “answer
through headquarters.”
There is no telling where or when this
high-handed outrage will end. It is the
intention of every one," this morning, to
submit quietly, and thus avoid any col
lision with the military—Bullock’s cher
ished hope. I expect the “ mill to com
mence grinding” again, in a few hours, and
your humble servant may lie “taken in.”
A few more writs were taken out this
morning.
Judge Andrews, General Dußose and
other legal advisers are expected to-day.
All of us are hopeful of a bettor day com
ing, and contented to let things “ wag on ”
for a while.
The military have conducted themselves
satisfactorily to the citizens, discharging
their duty as soldiers and treating the pris
oners as gentlemen.
Yours, G.
[Dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial, (Rep.)
The Speech of Ex-President Johnson at
Clarksville.
Clarksville, Tenn., June 2.—Ex-Presi
dent, Johnson yesterday addressed an as
semblage of 5,000 persons for three and a
half hours. Gov. Anderson, of Ohio, Sena
tor Fowler, and other prominent individ
uals occupied seats on the stand. Mr. John
son was introduced by Hon. Gus Henry,
and wastenthusiastically cheered. He took
the same grounds as in former speeches.—
Comparing Jeff'Davis to Sunnier, he con
sidered the latter the greatest enemy to the
Constitution ; for though the former fought
for secession, he was still for constitutional
government, while the latter was for over
throwing tlie Constitution and establishing
a despotism, Ailudingto President Grant,
lie said that they call Grant a second Wash
ington. Let us see how lie merits this name.
In his first inaugural, Washington said:
“ The magnitude and difficulty ot the trust
to which the voice of my countrymen has
called me bring sufficient cares to awaken,
in the wisest and most experienced citizen,
a distrust of his powers to carry on tlie
great and responsible duties,and to doubt his
qualifications lor so grand and high a trust.”
In his first inaugural, Grant said: “The
responsibilities of my position arc great,
but I assume them without fear.” There
is tlie first contrast—the diffidence and dig
nity of the one, and the arrogance and self
sufficiency of the other. Washington did
not enter the Exceptive Alansion as into a
grand gift establishment; but how is it
with the second Washington ? He was ap
proached by one man, whom tie afterward
appointed Secretary of the Treasury, with
a $05,000 check ; by liis future Secretary of
the Navy with a deed to a furnished house
in Philadelphia; by his Attorney General
that was to be with an expensive library ;
and so on-, ad infinitum, eacli one that
hoped for office coming with an expensive
gift to purchase it. Here is a second com
parison : The real Father of his Country
was for the maintenance of the principles
and tlie good of tlie country, while the sec
ond Washington was shrewdly looking out
for himself. He concluded by saying: “I
think the Radical party are disintegrating
and crumbling away. I am opposed to
making a soft bed for them to recline on in
death. The offices are not enough for all,
money is getting scarce, and things .lying
around loose have all been picked up.—
Now they are filled with dissensions and
dissatisfaction, and are fighting for the lit
tle residuum of plunder. Our duty is to
give it to them now, to press home upon
them and hasten their death by adherence,
by bold, manly, courageous adherence, to
the eseential principles of true republican
government.”
loe Manufactories.— The manufacture
of ice, begun in this region during the war
by Colonel Girurtley, in Georgia, and Mr.
Bujac, in this city, under French patents,
has proved a very great blessing to the
South, for not here only, but at Shreveport,
San Antonio, and probably other interior
places, where it was almost impossible to
get ice, except at exorbitant rates, those
manufactories have placed it at a rate so
low, and made it so convenient and easy to
get it, as to altogether do away with their
dependence on importation for it, w r hile in
our city importation only serves the pur
pose of keeping ice within the reach of the
poorest.
But is the ice good ? We have the best
proof of it, for we use it frequently and in
discriminately with Northern ice, and the
one is as good as the other. Indeed, one of
our cotemporaries mentions the following :
As Mr. Pochelu, the indefatigable secre
tary of the ice manufactory in this city,
was passing along Madison street, New
Orleans, he accidentally encountered the
representative of the houses that sell ice
imported from Boston. A discussion en
sued, which ended in a wager by Mr.
Pochelu that our home made ice was cool
er, and that it would last longer than the
imported article. The bet was accepted,
experts summoned and the parties ad
journed to the Pellerin restaurant to test
the matter. Two equal cakes of ice, one
made here and one imported, were sub
jected to an equal exposure, and we are
happy to report that Mr. Pochelu carried
off the wager.
As the water frozen is Mississippi water,
with no admixtures, but simply allowed’
to settle and clear itself, and is therefore
only the better than that we get from the
North, as it is in all respects suited to our
constitutions and habits, and better water,
so the sailors say, than that of any other
river in the world except the Thames. We
are willing to play second fiddle to London
and its river, though we can hardly con
sent to acknowledge Boston as our supe
rior
The ice manufactured here, which keeps
as well or better even than Northern ice,
and which is made from our own drink
ing water, is delivered to families all over
the city at a cent per pound, and to cus
tomers for amounts of over five hundred
pounds at three-fourtlis of a cent. At this
rate, none can lie too poor to use ice.

Nature is the Great Physician.
This is now admitted, by the medical profession as
a fundamental principle of healing science. It is wise
ly provided by the human economy that whenever
anything is wrong in the physical system the natural
forces of the body are brought to.hear to expel the
disease. The great aim, therefore, is to strengthen
the natural powers. This has been kept in view by
the skilful compounders of HOSTKTTKK'S
STOMACH BITTERS, which operates to give Iresli
vitality to all the orgara of the body. The effect of
this medicine upon the stomach, the liver and the kid
neys, is prompt and decisive. The patient, who is
wise enough to quit drugging and try the BITTERS,
soon feels as if he had taken anew lease of li'e, and as
he continues the use of the article, he is iwerjoyed to
find the streams of health couising through his frame.
It is prepared with great care, and its component
parts are entirely vegetable. It is free from the objec
tions so often urged against preparations of the bind.
Asa MEDICAL AGENT it has no equal, wid e its
{■leasing flavor and healthful effects have made it a
general favorite. It is free fr. ma 1 pifeperties calcu
lated to impair the system, aud its operations are at
once mild, soothing and efficient. All who have used
HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS attest its
virtues and commend its use.
Even those who are in the enjoyment of perfect
1 ealth frequently have need to have recourse to tonics
as preventives of disease. We are never too well
armed against the assaults of “ the ills that flesh is
heir too.” In health or sickness this tonic cannot be
