CO» STITTTTIONALJST. AIJ Q-XJ ST A, QA, l-fiipAY M6BNIHG, AUG. 20,1869 CARPET-BAGGERS, ETC. The New York Sun has a saucy editorial upon Carpet-Baggers. It praises them loftily, and, in the same ratio that honey is distilled upon such itinerants, gall and wormwood fall upon the native people of the South. Hear tins: « Bona fide emigrants from the North and West are needed in the South to repair the waste of the war. Our merchants, man ufacturers, agriculturists, and business men of all classes, should go there with carpet-bags lined with greenbacks, and heads full of ideas, and infuse among the people of that region those habits of enter prise and economy which have made the North and West so prosperous and pow erful The South needs a spirit of self reliance, that she may thereby attain a gen uine independence, and thus emancipate herself, and especially the old dominating white race, from the worst of all serfdom, the habit of everybody relying upon some body else to do everything for them. Let these emigrants, then, resolve to stay in the South, minding their own business, culti vating good fellowship with the old set tlers, and voting as they please, while they accord to all others, white and black, the right to do likewise.’’ “ Bona fide emigrants,” with money and brains will be welcome; but before coming, they should relieve themselves of any un due conceit. A good many came here, just after the war, to teach Southern planters how to make rice and cotton. They lost their money and had their conceit pricked like a wind-bladder. They found out, at last, that the South was not to be taughl such things by them, but that they them selves had much to learn and unlearn.— Those who left went back, in numerous in stances, empty-handed. Those who re main are glad, betimes, to take whate l , ei employment is offering. Last year, in spite of an accursed Government, the fruit of carpet-bag ideas, the people of the South surpassed the haughty North by f14,000,- 000 in the value ol' exports. The Herald has shown, too, that the Southern exporta tion enriched the country while that of the North served to impoverish it. Take away the villany you have imposed upon us by your swarms of carpet-baggers and we shall show yod what it is to be “ self-reli ant.” But even with these ineuU we have performed miracles •of industry and saved the land from bankruptcy. Does the Sun really think that such splendid results have been achieved, under serious disad vantages, by sluggards and idlers? It bears the brand of absurdity on its face, and the luminous editor of the Sun must have been hard run for a sensation when he made such a ridiculous charge. By all means, if emigrants so will it, let them stay in the South and “ mind their own business.” But your genuine carpet-bag ger would die in a month if lie did not meddle in some obnoxious way. The Sun goes on in this bombastic fashion: “ The results of the war have taken a good deal of the arrogance and conceit out of the so-called Southern chivalry. The boast that one Southerner is equal to three Northerners, which used to make cravens of Northern statesmen, and even imposed upon popular credulity, lias been silenced by the thunder of a hundred battle fields.” In the aggregate, one good Southern sol dier did prove more than a match for three ordinary Northerners, as a hundred battles testify; but when to the three Yankees were added several Irishmen, Germans or ne groes, the South fell back overpowered by weight of meat and not by superior valor. We dislike to rip up an old grievances un der Grant's reign of peace, but the Sun will have it so. The Sun continues : “ So has it fared with another delusion, that, in order to secure prosperity at home and secure the national credit abroad, we must hail cotton as king. The war has demonstrated that States based on free labor can bear an immensely greater finan cial strain than States based on slave labor, and that diversity of industrial pur suits is the true source of national wealth. The North emerged from the late conflict not, only victorious in arms, but rich and prosperous, while the South stood a shat tered monument of ruin.” Cotton may not be King, but according to tiie late Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. McCulloch, he was and is a right royal fellow, inasmuch as he saved the finances of the blessed Union, one year after an other, from everlasting smash. True the North emerged from the war rich, and the South a desolation. Jlut those idlers the Sun frivolusly prates about are building up their empire and will, before the next century dawns, require of the North modification of its boastful estimate. We have had our day of ruin. It is your turn next. The Sun does not appear satisfied with the vain boast of material gloryit ven tures to assert tin? surpassing power of Northern intellect, thus: “The offensive cffigma which the North, and especially the Democracy of the North, so long accepted, that the South furnished nearly all the statesmanship of the country, has been exploded by the experiences of the last eight or ten years. No political party need now look to the old ruling element in the South for its foremost leaders. They can find better materials here among them selves.” If the infamies, the crimes, the blunders, the riot and the corruption of the last eight years are signs of statesmanship , then indeed the North has grounds for jubilee. But the masses are gradually awakening to the idea that the noble science of State-craft has been polluted and not illustrated bv the results of the last eight years. One of the most darling and persistent efforts of Northern “statesmanship” has been to silence the voices of the “ ruling element in the South and, this day, the pettifoggers who sit in Grand Council take special pain® try fate VmOc frtnn TT Tarry TnP g ITST TOOTi, the glorious intellects, still the pride of the South and, In genuine statesmanship, still the superiors of the log-rolling divini ties of the North. We have made energetic efforts to induce emigration of the right sort. Aud when any well-disposed or sensible Northern man comes in our midst he has no cause to complain of the reception awaiting him. But we do not want any more “ carpet baggers,” in the common acceptation of the term. We hate them, we abominate them, and we areglad to get rid of them in any peaceable way. Even the meanest one of them contrives to get along pretty much as he expects. But, if the North insists upon sending forth her objectionable hordes, simply because she has the right to do so, the South will expreise another right—the right of selecting her own company. \ The South has been defeated in battle; but she will once more emerge as a con testant in the arena of reason and on the fields of industry. We have to thauk our Northern brethren for ruins and ashes. But in the ruins no bats and owls gibber to the moon, crooning over a solitude which has no hope; and beneath the ashes our ancient fires are still alive and still immortally aglow. “ IMPRACTICABLES When a Southern editor preserves a fervid devotion to Principle he is dubbed an “ im practicable” by the Northern Press, and, shame upon them, there are not wanting certain of his own Southern brethren to join in this yelping refrain. The Virginia election has very plainly shown the lolly of abandoning principle at the bidding of so-called “ practical men.” . The Richmond Examiner , at the eleventh hour, consented, under tremendous pressure, to join the .< Conservative Republican ’ scheme. The editor and his patrons have had their dose of it, as the following vivid lament abun dantly proves: “ Think of it! gallant and chivalrous and well-meaning men, born and reared here, and of all honorable propensities, bending at last under the burning rays of oppres sion, and seeking with panting bosom the cooling wave of Federal power! Those who faced death on the battle-field, fainting on the toilsome retreat through the desert, and throwing off beneath the fierce blaze of the sun the cherished mantle of tlieir prin ciples which they had only wrapped, the closer about them under the chill and roar ing blasts of four Northern winters. But thus it is; courage is more common than fortitude—-and General Longstreet and Marshal Ney, the bravest of the brave, were the first to prove deficient in passive en durance. “ Then of course there was a lot who had taken up the line of march to the Walker Republicans, who were of a different kind of stuff—men utterly devoid of sensibility— that pooh-pooh sentiment —believe that Truth is bread-and-meat —and who call themselves Practical. Men. They do not love princiDle ; it bores them ; and they are well pleased when better men ridicule honor, and brand all who talk about duty or principle as ‘ irnpracticables.’ These men were hot to get among the Walker fleslipots. They do not see their way now. Indeed they are by no means bad enough to become Wells Republicans. They are keenly disappointed at the turn things have taken. , m . “ The Virginians will stand off. Ihe most credulous of them are now satisfied that we have been fearfully swindled. We shake off the dust of our feet, and leave the Federal ante-chamber where we have cring ed, and waited, and bought and sold—and been sold — tiflice. “ The whole thing stinks. The test oath business is a chef il'mvore of false dealing that beats the morals of Indian diplomacy as far as the coloring of Giorgione or Paul Cagliari excels the meretricious varnish of the French Academy. “We look well; adopted an infamous constitution by 200,000 majority, and elect ed a Republican ticket; and the coin which was received in payment, which was plain ly stamped with the device of Expurgation, turns out not to be genuine gold—but a base counterfeit. But in cheating us out of the election, they have left us at least a compact Virginia sentiment.” Witty.— Col. Tom August, of Freder icksburg, Va., lately deceased, was a great wit in his day. We learn that, being on the Broad Rock race course, he held stakes for several parties, some of whom had bet on Col. Alexander’s celebrated racer, Red eye. Alexander’s horse, as usual, was about winning the race, when August, see ing around him a goodly company of the legal profession, got off the following: “If Red-eye wins,” said Tom, “I do not intend to pay over the stake 3-” “ Why not?” asked the intended bystanders ex citedly. “ Because, gentlemen, you are betting on a certainty.” No such thing! how the devil do you make that out?” cried the now indignant, sportsmen. ‘‘Strict ly on legal principles: id certum eat quod cerium Beddi’potest t" 1 Gone Up.— For four months Wendell Phillips has periodically poured vitriol upon Grant’s hide. We see the result. Phillips has conquered Ulysses and brought him to terms. Hitherto, the wrathful Wendell has characterized the President as a “dolt,” a “horse-jockey,” an “ idiot,” etc., etq. Now for a pipe of praise. A man like Phillips does not blackguard a man like Grant, when the granite sphinx turns to soft putty in the , devil’s claw. Beautiful !—The “ Loil ” are splitting up everywhere. Even in Maryland they arc at loggerheads. The Baltimore Ameri can clique, on one side, and Judge Bond’s cabal, on the other, are exchanging senti ments the reverse of complimentary. While the Radicals in Maryland divide, the Demo crats ought to break up and ask one of these wings of Republicanism to lead them to victory. Os course, they would be fools to do so ; but the Conservative Republican movement amounts to just this stupendous blunder. Hon. A. H. Stephens. — The Charleston. Courier says, editorially, that the “ Hon. A. H. Stepuens, of Georgia, in his late letter .to the Augusta Constitutionalist, has immolated Mr. Greeley, of the Tribune .” mm ■ ■ Our New York Correspondence. New York, August 16. The arrest ot Colonel Pratt, of Texas, for offenses alleged to have been committed .against the military forces of the United States in that satrapy, and the proceedings thus fat incident thereto, are important and interesting, for many reasons. Judge McCunn, in granting a writ of habeas cor pus, and in his decision respecting the law and the status of the prisoner, was un questionably correct. The prisoner was accused of being one of a party who forced the guard, causing the death of one or more of the soldiers who composed it, in the State ,of Texas. The Judge decided that this was an offense against the laws of that State, and that before he could be sur rendered by this State, lie must be duly de manded from Governor Hoffman by the chief executive authority of Texas. If the Federal-authorities had arrested Col. Pratt by the military power, confined him in a fortress and sent him to Texas under mili tary guard, there would have been a show of consistency in their course. But claim ing him as an offender against the military, they procured his arrest by a'civil officer and his incarceration in the county jail, where, of course, he was in reach of the State courts. It will be seen at once, that the questions at issue between Jinbjca. AWinoo. >—t m»i ®nni mriow are of the most vital charac ter, far exceeding in their practical bearing those out of which grew the late war. Judge McCunn has shown every disposi tion to maintain his position at all hazards, and Sheriff O’Brien has tendered all the aid in his power. But as has been too often the case in the past seven years, while State authorities have argued aud threatened, the Federal authorities acted. General Grant sent Marshal Barlow an autograph letter, by virtue of which he retains forcible pos session of his prisoner, and defies the arrest of himself for contempt of court. Judge McCuuu, in view of Grant’s interference in the matter, has been urged to cause the arrest of the President himself, should he come within the jurisdiction, for com plicity in Barlow’s offense of contempt of court. Would’nt it be a grim joke to lock Grant over night in the Tombs. As I conclude this paragraph, Hearn that Col. Pratt has been discharged. Quite recently there has come under my eye a leader in the Constitution alist, in which a number of Democratic journals and politicians were accused of desiring to put the whole Democratic party under the leadership of “ Conservative Republicans,” with the purpose of making Mr. Chase the next President. Mr. Belmont and the World , of this city, are included in the cate gory. I have the best authority for stating that this is a mistake. A large number of Democrats were inclined to favor Mr. Chase’s nomination in 1868 ; but so rapid do events move, that he is not thought either desirable or available for 1872. Nor do I know a Democrat who desires to see Andrew Johnson elected to the Senate from Tennessee. He is dangerous only to those whose cause he champions. There, is a certain reckless, clement who would be pleased by his Mmiuatious, but they would drive off more than they would attract. Neither Mr. Belmont nor the World, as I understand them, contemplate any political action now or hereafter, that nitty in any degree involve the abnegation of Demo cratic principles, the rights of States, and the security of the citizen, or the organiza tion of the Democratic party. New leaders will arise, new accessions will foe made, the power of the party will receive a more effective direction, and we shall have, in due season, an old-fashioned Democratic victory. The paving of Broadway as far as Four teenth street has been recently completed— a work which was commenced two years ago, and which since that time has been delayed and interrupted by opposition on the part of stage owners and others. The new pavement is the Guidet —so-called after the inventor, who was also the in ventor of the Belgian pavement. It con sists of pieces of Quincey granite, from eight to twelve inches in lepgllr, three and a half to four and a hair inches wide, and nine inches in depth, and is considered su perior to the old Russ pavement from the fact that it is in narrower pieces, present ing a greater number of edges, and also because the trap rock used in the Russ pavement was of a homogeneous stone, and in consequence wore smooth, while the granite being composed of different ele ments, is not liable to the same objection. From Bowling Green to Fourteenth street, the pavement is estimated to rcaMt a length of 63,000 yards, at the cost of about $463,000. A sensation this week, but not on ex hibition, yet attracting curiosity of course, are two Chinese merchants, who recently arrived by the overland route —Clioy-Chey and Sing Man. They are at the Metropoli tan, and like Johnson of old, find their Boswells who are in daily attendance upon them, and show them round—to Stewarts, Central Park, etc., eto. The September number of the Atlantic Monthly promises to contain an article which will be one of no common interest, being none other than a correct account, or what claims to be a correct account, of the separation between Lord and Lady Byron, the true cause of which has never yet been given to the public. No matrimonial quar rel, perhaps, ever elicited such interest and excited so much curiosity, which, until now, has been unsatisfied, and the clearing up of a subject in regard to which there have been so many surmises, has been re* served for the pen of an American writer —Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe. While in England, Mrs. Stowe visited Lady Byron, who placed in her hands a detailed account of the cause of her separation from her husband, leaving it optional with Mrs. Stowe when and how to give publicity to the same. The recent publication, in this country and in England, of the Countess Guiccioli’s memoirs, in which the old scan dals against Lady Byron are reiterated, has made this a fitting moment, in the judgment of Mrs. Stowe, for the publica tion of the opposite side of the story. The young lady who eloped with her father’s coachman, has it seems, returned to her parents, whither she was shortly after followed by the bridegroom of her choice. She, we understand has l>een once inoTe admitted as a member of the house hold, but not so with the coachman, he be ing kept outside, while negotiations are pending oil the subject of the relinquish ment qf h|s bride; SIO,OOO having been of fered him for her release, and public curi osity is excited to prove whether, oil his part, these terms will be accepted ; whether the bride will thus- easily be given up; whether lie will stand firm for better terms, or whether their mutual affection has bound them one to the other in bonds which neither thousands nor tens of thousands may sever; whether in the mean time, he has resumed his duties as coachman we have been unable to discover. For Fall wear, mohair alpaca is undoubt edly the best material, and for this a novel ty in trimming will be satin striped or plaided in gay colors, and also satin cords in chintz colors, cut in narrow bias folds for the headings and binding of ruffles; and entire ruffles of this material will be placed upon mohair and alpaca dresses, which will thus present g very gay appearance. Ladies who do not wish to trim with colors, may appropriately bind the ruffles With the same or use plaitiugs put on with a cord to match the dress. A neat suit of black alpaca has a round skirt trimmed with a Spanish floitnee, a short skirt cuS punier , and a tight fitting basque. The basque and panier arc without ruffles, be ing finished, instead, with a reverse plait ing of alpaca, agd a double face of plaited alpaca is worn in the of a sash. The brightest Scotch plaids promise to be fash ionable this Winter, and also Scotch trim, ming upon plain colors, which will be stylish for bonnets as well as dresses Many complaints are made by stout per sons of tfle fashions which now prevail— doubleskirts, bouffant saches, and paniers— giving still greater breadth, and tight casaques disclosing the figure too plainly, For such persons we would recommend a drapery which covers the shoulder closely and hangs loosely below, such as short loose sacks without sleeves, baschliks and man tillas. For stout persons, also, short dresses are unbecoming, und should be worn to touch the floor, and as a general rifle, folds and flat trimmings should be worn in pref erence to flounces or ruffles. The Fall bonnets will differ but little from those worn at present, except that they will be somewhat more decided in character. The necklace will be retained, but the sides will be brought together under the chin, giving more warmth and protection. Avery pret ty novelty In hats is tfle floral fez, or pouf hat, which is so thickly studded with flowers that the frame is entirely conceal ed. One is composed of blue forget-me nots ; an aigrette is placed in front, and a white blonde scarf which falls behind, is brought over the face for a veil. Anothef, the most unique, is the beetle wing fez, cov ered with fine feathery grasses and moss, amidst which are chameleon—winged bee tles. A humming bird is perched on the top, and the strings are of ribbon in imita tion of striped grass. The newest way of fastening the veil is with a beetle' or some kind of insect attached to a pin and put in the centre of the chignon at the back where the ends meets. A simple and a pretty costume for a little girl consists of a white alpaca basquine, the skirt gored, and trimmed with bias folds of blue silk and blue and white fringe. The basquine is ornamented with blue buttons down the front, blue silk bows above the sleeves, which are plainly finish ed at the wrists with two bias folds, and edged with fringe surmounted by two folds, a blue belt, with a large bow and short ends behind, is worn. A tunic of black silk, trimmed with ribbon velvet, is made to open low in front, with epaulets, and lapping over the chest in such a way as to form a tablier overskirt, the side gores graduated, and the back widths gathered in full at the waist. It is cut pointed in the back of the bodice to match the front, ami may V>o worn WTTII a skirt, of plaid mohair. A little boy’s pique suit, is cut with a skirt plainly gored, a jacket with tabs round the waist, and a belt fastened with a rosette at the side. The skirt, tabs, etc., should be braided. A little girl’s suit is of green silk, made with tyyo ruffles round the skirt., the basquine cut square behind, and a good deaf longor than iu front, and edged with a fluted ruffle. The sleeve is ruffled at the shoulder and above the elbow a box plaited bow attached to the belt. Willoughby. The Postmastersiiip op Macon.—We have refrained from noticing the many con meting rumors which have been in eircu lation during the last few days in relation to the postmastership or this city. Private telegrams and “ information from reliable sources and the sayings and thoughts of Mr. W. P. Edwards, were more numerous than trustworthy ; therefore we have wait ed for the definite and positive information which we now give our readers, namely that the Jate obnoxious incumbent of the post office has been removed, and Mr J II Washington has been restored to his place as postmaster of Macon. Mr. Washington is a high-toned, honor able citizen, in whose integrity and intelli gence we alt have confidence. We con gratulate our fellow-citizens on his restora tion to the office which he and his respect ed father before him have filled so well and acceptably.— Journal <f; Messenger.
