CONSTITUTION ALTST.
AUGUSTA. GhA.
WEDNESDAY MOBNING, JULY 7,1869
THE REAL AND THE IDEAL.
Senator Oliver P. Morton, of Indiana,
was engaged by the Gettysburg Monument
Managers to do the sublime thing the otlfcr
day. He was, in other words, appointed
to glorify the battle of Gettysburg and the
progress of liberty in the United States and
in the world of outside barbarians. His
effort was a stupendous failure and is so
admitted by journals of every class of poli
tics. Asa great apostle of negro domina
tion, Southern reconstruction and other*
ultra Radical rascalities, he was about the
last man on earth to intone a great prose
poem to Liberty, and so, even his undoubt
ed talents gave way under the pressure of
a monstrous sham. Great as was his
failure in attempting the sublime ; and ter
rible as were the castigations he received
from his party press ; these wounds were
as nothing when compared with the morti
fication he experienced by a practical test
of his pretended negrophilism. It seems
that among the notables present on the
occasion of Senator Morton’s speech was
Bowen, the Mayor of Washington, D. C.
This Bowen, being a representative of the
disorderly negro element of the National
Capital, and of nothing else, was obliged
to take a black member of Council along
with him. What befel Bowen and the
sable Councilman the Washington corre
spondent of the New York Herald tells with
infinite gusto, thus:
“ Not satisfied with the honor of accom
panying Bowen, the blest and immaculate,
this African municipal father took it into
his head that he had a right to go to the
public hotel at Gettysburg and be treated
there on an equality with the white trash.
Senator Morton, of Indiana, was consulted
about the matter, and requested to take the
African under his wing. In other words,
he was invited to assume the responsibility
of-introducing the African at the table
d'hote, and thus by his illustrious example
crushing out the last vestige of inequality.
Oliver P., however, couldn’t see it in. that
light, precisely. He declined the intended
honor with a little bit of crustiness, and
the African had to fall back on Bowen.—
Sayles J. felt himself equal to the task, and
did it. When the breakfast time came
about yesterday morning, or the day before,
Bowen marched into the refectory with the
African, and both sat down to the table.
Os course there was a scene—a very big
one. The ladies and gentlemen stared at
each other, then uttered some expressions
of disgust, and finally got up from the table
and quitted the room. The landlord came
along, and there was another scene. He
was indignant and wrothy, but Bowen and
his African were cool and determined, and
what was more important, lihd their break
fast. So Bowen made himself famous. At
the time the scene occurred, it is said, some
ladies who had accompanied Senator Mor
ton to Gettysburg were taking their break
fast, and were among those who quitted
the room in disgust. Senator Morton him
self was not present. I give you the story
rather more briefly than it comes to me,
stating, at the same time, that it is denied
by some of the Republicans, while it is
vouched for by ladies who were present at
the time.
“ Mayor Bowen, it appears, not only sat
down with the African but placed his
daughter by his side. The African was
formerly head waiter here at the National
Hotel.”
It takes a crucial test of this sort to
properly show up in their true colors the
audacious leading hypocrites who pretend
to saddle us with an Ethiopian incubus,
not because of hatred for the South, but
because of love for the “ man and brother.”
Bowen, the dog of the Radical party, has
no political existence save through the
negroes, and so he carries out his selfish
programme, even at the expense of his own
daughter. But Morton, the great tycoon
of the Senate, reseuts the proffered equality
or sneaks away from its contact with very
bad grace, considering his beautiful oration
and his notorious" juggleries in the Halls
of Legislation. There will come a time in
this country when all this negro equality
business will be properly appreciated, even
at the North. If Grant is the great man
some people think him, he should, by all
means, dose the East and West with black
draughts that will turn the stomachs of
men equally as nice and equally as hypocrit
ical as the Hon. Oliver P. Morton.
NEGRO ELIGIBILITY.
We had our say about negro eligibility,
under the recent decision of the Supreme
Court, and we were second to none in an
early occupation of the field of controversy.
It was our intention to drop the matter,
until such a time as it could be resumed
with some practical effect; but, as the agi
tation still continues, it will not do for an
old campaigner to remain silent. It is not
our purpose to rehash the matter as a legal
question, and we shall positively permit
tl old res adjudiccita ” to take a snooze
of infinite duration, if need be. But, we
are called upon, at the present stage of the
■ drama, to consider the best policy to be pur
sued, under the circumstances, by the mem
-*bers of the Assembly who hold the seats of
the expelled negroes. Principle seems, for
* the nonce, to have goue to the “ demnition
bow-wows,” and so, we are obliged to look
at this thing in the light of policy. The
more sagacious and clear-headed of our
.public men and political pastors agree
that, should the members who hold the
seats of the negroes resign, their resigna
tion ought to be voluntary and not
caused by any compulsion, public or
private. If such a resignation took
place, it would, of course, be on the under
standing that Mr. Bullock should order a
-new election. Now, here is the difficulty.
'Nobody that we know of believes that Bul
lock would do anything of the kind. It is
mot at all likely that he would recognize
any vacancies. On the contrary, he would
take the position that the ousting of the
black members was void, and therefore no
vacancies were created by it. Even the
Macon Tele,graph admits that this would
probably be Mr. Bullock’s course. But,
thus couceding, the Telegraph goes on to
say that Judge Speer has indicated what
should be "the true method of procedure,
even though the resignations had taken
place and the “ Governor ” refused to re
cognize vacancies. We infer that Judge
Speer and the Telegraph prefer uncondi
tional resignations on the part of the white
members now holding the places of the ex
pelled negroes, and an unconditional re
turn and reinstatement of the aforesaid ne
groes. This the Telegraph calls a “straight,
politic, constitutional, sensible, profitable
and manly way out of the dilemma.”
Without stopping to cavil about our re
spected contemporary’s choice of adjec
tives, we will suppose that his sole object
in the position taken is to put Bollock
in the wrong absolutely and thus give his op
ponents a supposed advantage in the argu
ment before the country. In other words,
the old game of policy is to be played over
again. True, this thing of “ policy ” has
not done much for us in the past; quite the
contrary indeed. But who knows what
preat things it may do for us hereafter?
True, the compromises we have made with
a false Congress have been most effectually
ignored in other days. But who knows
but Congress may have a spasm of honesty
when the Georgia Legislature welcome
back Sambo and Cuffee, with tokens' of
sullenness or delight, or, let us say, a mix
ture of either from persons of different
complexions of opinion? If the white
members resign their seats uncondition
ally to the negroes, it would be what some
people call magnanimity; but if they thus
resign with the expectation of commending
their greatness of soul to the littleness of
spirit of the Radical Congress, they will
be victims of misplaced confidence. We
suppose we shall have to chronicle this
humiliation for policy’s sake. It looks very
much that way. It is the legitimate result
of the great blunder our people insisted
upon cbmmitting in that stupendous year
of policy run mad—lß6s.
AiJgusta, Ga., 22d June, 1869.
Hon. H. F. Russell, Mayor of Augusta and
President of Augusta Canal Company:
Sir : A copy of the herewith enclosed
paper has been furnished to several parties
making inquiry about the canal, and sup
posing it may be of interest to the Council,
I take the liberty of furnishing you with a
copy, which may be laid beiore them oi
not, as you deem expedient.
You are probably aware that something
in this line must be done to maintain the
commercial prestige of Augusta, otherwise
the railroad and other interests will give
us, to use a vulgar expression, the “go
by,” and we will, of course, settle down
into a receiving and forwarding depart
ment of these great enterprises. When
these great thoroughfares are completed,
there will be no commercial necessity for a
bale of cotton to be sold or stored in Au
gusta.
Wliat we want is a productive laboring
population, let it beat Raes Creek oi in
the city, and a few hundred thousand dol
lars spent in that line would do more good
than the millions spent in our political re
construction. It is the wo7'k done and not
political opinions of the people that makes
the money, and it is the money value of the
labor of every man, woman and child, in
any community, that gives it thrift and
commercial importance. I need not write
you a chapter on fiolitical economy, you
will see at once, from your experience as a
merchant, the practical application of my
views, which may very conveniently be re
solved into this question:
Are the citizens of Augusta prepared to
expend some two hundred thousand dol
lars upon the chance of adding some thirty
or forty thousand working people to their
present population ?
The present indications are that they are
not, or why aye the existing mill sites
neglected ? 1 trust, however, that by the
proper management of this matter, and
some assurance and encouragement given
by our prominent men to our Northern
friends, that we will heartily co-operate
with them to the extent of our limited
means, we can yet get such help as may be
necessary to the full development of our re
sources. The field would be open to them
if they could buy us clear out; this, how
ever, they can not do, and the “ dog in the
manger ” policy .so prevalent, will of
course leave us to the mercy of Hercules,
who can not well go back on the decree,
that every man must put his own shoulder
to the wheel to secure success.
I hope that yourself and the Council will
give this matter the consideration it merits.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
William Phillips.
Augusta, Ga., June, 1869.
To the Honorable the City Council of Au
gusta :
Gentlemen : It has happened that par
ties, aware of my former connection with
the Augusta Canal, liave lately asked my
opinion with regard.to its Enlargement,
and its capacity to promote the interest of
the city in the way of establishing its
prominence as a manufacturing city. And
as I have had occasion to address myself
to a particular party, 1 beg leave to sub
mit to you what 1 have said on the sub
ject : . ..
Dear Sm : The letter of your corres
pondent, as read to me, shows that lie is
not fully aware of the present position of
the Augusta Canal, therefore I beg leave to
hand you a very brief account of its his
tory and my present views as to its devel
opment.
The canal, as a canal enterprise, as you
are probably aware, was not intended to
be a money making concern, but to pro
mote the interests'of the city by the intro-,
duction of cotton manufactures and other
mechanical operations requiring the use of
water power. In accordance with this
view, it was constructed originally at the
expense of the real estate owners of the
city ; consequently the purchase of mill
sites and lands for the accommodation of a
factory population was not attempted, and
the appreciation of the value of the prop
erty within the range and influence of the
canal in the city was left to be enjoyed by
those who held them, and you no doubt
have observed liow Dublin, Canaan and
other localities liave been improved to their
advantage, and I dare say yOu know, too,
that in 1845, when the canal was projected,
the lands occupied by the places before
mentioned, could have been bought for
about $lO per acre. The first and second
and part of the third levels of the canal
were cut through unproductive corn fields
and the “ beaver dam,” and the residue of
the third level up town, through city lots
of but little value.
After the canal was made, the same
principle prevailed in fixing the water
rents, and if I remember right, water was
let to mill No. 1 of the Augusta Manufac
turing Company at 14 cents per spindle per
year, and for mill No. 2 at 21 cents.
By an award made by gentlemen of
quandam reputation in such
was decided that in mill No. 1 of the Au
gusta Factory, 314 cubic feet of water was
necessary to drive 10,000 spindles, and 292
cubic feet per second was required to drive
the same number of spindles in mill No. 2.
Now, 314 cubic feet of water per second at
(1234 pounds per cubic foot, and 13 feet fall,
gives 463.86 horse power, and 292 cubic
feet per second for mill No. 2 by the same
formula, gives 431.46, horse power. It is
easy to see that for mill No. 1 the price per
horse power was but little over $3 01, and
for mill No. 2, $4 88 per horse power. At
this time
Tlic annual charge at Mauyunk per 11. I\ was $24 00
1 “ Patterson, N. J., “ “ 45 80
“ “ Cohoes, N. Y-, ‘ “ “ 22 60
“ 1 Ohio Canal, 0., “ “ £0 00
“ “ Richmond, Va., “ “ 23 30
*• “ Lowell, Mass., “ “ 15 80
Average, $ 5 25 per horse power.
Thus you will see what a concession was
made by the Canal Company for the pur
pose of carrying out the idea of promoting
the interest of the city in the establishment
of manufactures, &c. In the other mills
upon the canal the nominal price of $lO per
horse power has been adopted for the same
purpose.
It would, perhaps, be disingeneous to
claim the concessions made to the Manu
facturing Company on this principle alone,
because, ignorant as we were, of the
value of water power, &e., at the beginning
of the canal enterprise, it was assured from
the best information we could get that 19
H. P. of water would drive 1,000 spiudles;
afterward it was determined by the quon
dam gentlemen before referred to that
about 36 H. P. to 1,000 spindles was neces
sary. This will, as a part.of the history of
the canal, show your correspondent why
the value of water rents were made so low,
and that though they may be quoted as a
precedent, they are not necessarily so as
to any new operation on the canal.
It may be both amusing and instructive
to quote the following passage from the re
port of Mr. Baldwin; a Boston engineer,
who came out and examined the work for
the Canal Company: „
“ Making the canal 7 feet deep, and call
ing the additional construction $55,000,
we increase the first cost of the canal to
$170,000, when the value of a mill power
would stand at $10,175 07.
Upper Site (Ist Level) 8.2? mill power*, $84,147 83
Second “ (2d “ ) ♦ 6,75 “ “ 68,081 72
Third « (3d « ) 675 “ “ 17,170 45
21 77 170,000 00
And these, according to the minimum
suggested by him, should have been worth
$26,124 per year!!! This was the impres
sion produced by his report; the result, for
the reasons before mentioned, was quite
different, and the canal has never # bee» a
self-sustaining institution. This needs Ho
explanation, for you kuow that the pro
moters of the canal enterprise were also
the promoters of the manufacturing enter
prise, and they, of course, vcity properly
harmonized with each other. So mucli lor
the history of the canal as explanatory of
the rate.of water rents*
Now for the enlargement. I have some
where before stated that in 1845, when our
canal project was flrststarted, that tliecaual
at Lowell, Mass.,was taken as our model aud
that soon after our work was completed,
as we thought, it was discovered that the
old canal at Lowell had to some extent
been replaced by anew one, 100 feet wide
and 15 feet deep. This, with the “ water
question” raised by the Manufactory Com
pany, and settled by the award of the
arbitrators before referred to, indicated
the necessity of the enlargement of our
canal. Consequently, when the Savannah
River Valley Railroad was projected it was
proposed that our canal tow path bank
should be used by it, as the crossing of that
road from South Carolina was intended to be
at a point just above the mouth of Steven
Creek and a short distance above the head of
thecanal. In the survey made for th»t road,
on the line of the canal, by Mr. Arms, a
full examination was made on the basis
that the water way of the canal should be
increased to four times its present capacity,
and that the earth from the new excava
tions should, where necessary, lie used to
raise the tow path.bank above all freshets,
not only for the full protection of the canal,
but to secure the track of the railroad.
The berme bank side of the canal, from
the lock to Rock Creek, is generally in
swampy, low grounds; from Rock Creek
to Warren’s Branch, the berme bank is high,
and thence to the city the ground is low.
To make the enlargement, it was proposed
that the berme banks in the low grounds
should be properly secured so as to retain
the water of the present canal, and outside
of this to make the excavation for the en*
largement, say feet wide-and feet
deep below the surface of the water in the
canal. This could be done with compara
tive ease, but from Rock Creek to Warren’s
Branch, there would be an immense amount
of earth to be moved, and though it is of
such character as to be moved very easily,
it would be difficult to find a place for its
convenient deposit, and would, perhaps, re
quire a long haul in carts or in boats. This
trouble very naturally suggests the propri
ety of making" the enlargements only to
Warren’s Spring, and the establishment
of factories there, where the water could be
used with a fall of about 29 feet. Yet the
advantage of having a fall of about 33 feet
at Raefs Creek would perhaps justify the
expense of cutting through the high bank.
As an engineer, this would be my plan,
and when I made the original survey for
the canal, I suggested the propriety of stop
ping here and establishing anew manufac
turing town, but as the canal was to be
made at the expense of the citizens of Au
gusta, it was decided that the canal should
be brought into the city. And even now, if
the enlargement is to be made, as an engi
neer, looking to the facility with which the
whole power or work to be done by the water,
can be made available at this point, I would
make the same suggestion—stop at Rae’s
Creek.
At the risk of being tiresome, I venture
the following details :
The present sectional area of the canal is
about 271 square feet. When it was 5 feet
deep the mean velocity was 1.72 feet per
second, it is now probably z feet per
second, as the head has been increased from
5 to 8 feet; hence we would have 271x2 feet
—542 cubic feet per second. Taking this
for the present capacity of the canal, and
supposing it to be enlarged to four times
that amount, and considering, also, that
one-fourth must necessarily come to the
city, we then have 1,626 cubit; feet per
second, available at Rae’s Creek. Here at
Rae’s Creek the present available fall is 31
feet, and by increasing the depth of the
canal 3 feet, we have a fall of 34 feet for the
mills on the west side of the canal ; if any
should be put on the east side, this fall could
be very considerably increased. Let us, how
ever, take the 34 feet fall, then we have
I, % x34—550—6,282 11. P., aiul tak
ing the very liberal, if not extravagant
decision of the quondam arbitrators before
referred to, as indicating that here that 36
11. P. was required to drive 1,009 spindles,
we have 6,282 —36—174,000 spindles, or we
may very complacently say 17 mills of
10,000 spindles each.
The same calculations may he made IV »r an
extensioa of the enlargement to Warren’s
Spring, only that here the fall would only
lie about 20 feet, and we w ould only liave
about 3,697 H. P., which at 36 H. P. to 1,000
spindles would give us the working power
for 102,694 spindles—say 10 mills of 10,000
spindles each.
If the canal was enlarged, as before pro
posed, only from the Lock to Red’s Creek,
we would have a fall of about 13 feet.
This would give us, according to the for
mula before indicated, a working power of
‘06,722 spindles—say six mills, of 10,000
spindles each.
We come now to the discussion of the
question, “Is there any money in it ?”
which I do not propose to answer, but sub
mit the following remarks:
So many changes have been made in the
canal since it was first made, that the old
“ bench marks ” have been lostyand it would
be much easier uow to make an entirely
new instrumental survey and estimate
than to work up an estimate from the old
notes. And if anything serious is contem
plated, it would be well for the Council to
order such survey to be made.
The construction of the present canal,
nine miles in length, was estimated by Mr.
Saqford at SIOO,OOO. This would give us
an average of a little over SII,OOO per mile,
but as it was soon discovered that the ca
nal was* W>o small, under the direction of
Mr. Phillips, who succeeded Mr. Sanford,
besides the ordinary repairs incident to
such works, lie raised the banks and made
the depth of water 7.33 instead of 5 feet,
which, of course, has increased the expense
per mile very . considerably, arid it may be
considered safe in the absence of an actual
survey to assume that the proposed en
largement would cost about $20,000 per
mile.
From the Lock to Red’s Creek the dis
tance is" 3,000 feet—o.s7 miles; from the
Lock to Warren’s Spring, 18,300 feet—3.47
miles; from the Lock to llae’s Creek, 24,700
feet—4.29 miles; and from the Lock to the
city, 36,400 feet—6.9o miles.
The enlargement of the canal to the lock
from Red’s Creek only is attended witli the
disadvantage of not having any drainage,
and it may be assumed on that account the
0.57 mile of this work, executed by itself,
would cost near about the same as a mile
of the other work, say $20,000 ; raising the
dams, $40,000 —in all, $60,000 —to secure
water for six mills of 10,000 spindles each.
The enlargement from the lock to War
ren’s Spring would have the facility of
drainage not only from Red’s Creek, but
from Red’s Creek above, and we could as
sume the average for the whole distance at
$20,000 per mile for the .3.47 miles of .en
largement. We would thus have 79,400
for enlargement, and $40,000 for dams,
making 119,400 for the expense of the work
to that point, securing water power for ten
mills of 10,000 spindles each.
The enlargement from the lock to Rae’s
Creek, though involving a very large
amount of earthwork, may be taken at the
same average per mile, and for the 4.29
miles, we would have $85,-800, and for the
dam, as before, $40,000 —making $125,000
to secure water power for 17 mills of 10,000
spindles each.
The enlargement to the city I do not
choose to consider at present, as from Rae’s
Creek to the city we would.be hampered
by the petty annoyance of the small lot
owners, whose “ figures” would most pro
bably run so high as to preclude any possi
bility of arrangement with them or leave
any money in the enterprise.
It may be well to remark here, that by
means of stop, gates &c., at Rae’s Creek, the
present supply of water to the City Mills
could be very easily regulated.
By way of recapitulation, I think I have
shown you how, by the expenditure of
about $60,000, six mills of 10,000 spindles
could be established at Red’s Creek—that
with the expenditure of $119,000 ten mills
of 10,000 spindles could be established at
Warren’s Spring, and that with an* expen
diture of $125,000, seventeen mills of 10,000
swindles each, could be established at Rae’s
Creek.
I need not mention the details of the-pur
chase of lands, &c., as these are matters
which will address themselves forcibly to
any party undertaking the enterprise. It
may be well, however, to •ention that the
lands from the lock to Rae’s Creek are held
by the Canal Company to a certain extent,
then by Judge B. H. Warren, Estate of
E. Starnes and U. S. Government, aud that
any of them could be bought out or drawu
into the development of this work ou reas
onable terms.
Respectfully, &c.,
William Phillips,
