CONSTITUTION ALJST.
AUGUSTA. <*A.
SUNDAY MOENING, 00T, 17,1869
THE RECENTELECTIONS.
Notwithstanding the doiibt existing as
to the result of the elections in Pennsyl
vania and Ohio, it may be presumed, with
out much fear of future contradiction, that
both Packer and Pendleton have been
defeated by small majorities. If the official
count shall change this calculation we will
duly rejoice; but, from present appear
ances, there is small likelihood of any
such good fortune. Without attempting
to mitigate this failure of the Constitutional
party in the States above named, we never
theless feel justified in the assertion that a*
gallant fight was made for victory under
circumstances which might well appall any
organization less vital and tenacious than
the Democratic host. Referring to the
Pennsylvania election returns for the past
seven years, we find that the Republicans
carried the State five times, by an average
majority of 19,000. This majority Packer
has no doubt reduced to a beggarly 4,000,
or less, in a total vote of a half million, or
more.
In Ohio, the Republicans were victorious
nine times in the contests of the last ten
years. Their average majority has been
not less than 40,000. This majority Pen
dleton has reduced fully three-fourths, if
not more.
This is not what many expected and
many more hoped against hope for; but it
is the best, in the light of present advices,
that can be said to encourage those who
are made sensitive by a party discourage
ment.
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette , usually a bold and well
poised political writer, thus speaks of the
lesson of the election:
“The result of the elections yesterday
“ certainly surprised some and disappoint
“ed others. It was the contest of raw, un
“ disciplined, badly officered troops, with a
“ splendidly drilled, lavishly equipped and
“ ably commanded army. The Democratic
“ party lacks organization, discipline and
“ skillful leaders. A fatal mistake was
“ made in Ohio in nominating Gen. Rose
“ crans without first consulting him. He
“ is not even a citizen of Ohio, but of Cali
“ fornia. His declination and the necessity
“ for making a second choice had a very
“ bad effect. Even Pendleton, popular as
“he is, could not gain a victory; though
“ had he been the first choice of the eon
“ vention there can be little doubt but that
“he would have been elected. In Pennsyl
vania the Radicals stumped the State
“ They, expended money lav
“ ishly, and they carriecf%B|nt about as au
“ electioneering placard. T*he Democrats,
“ for the most part, sat with folded hni|ds,
“ and waited for a ‘ reaction ’ to give them
“ a victory. The result everybody knows
“by this time. Will the Democratic party
“ learn wisdom by defeat ?”
The New York Herald has this to say :
“The elections may be dismissed with
the conclusion that they indicate no change
in the public sentiment to the prejudice ot
Gen. Grant’s administration, but that the
two parties remain substantially as they
stood last year, including the vote held in
reserve, and which will be brought out next
year in the elections for anew Congress.”
Taking this conclusion of an independent
journal as an essentially correct one, we
should say that Radicalism, as illustrated
by Gen. Grant, has had rather a shabby
endorsement, since it is a conceded point in
the moral law, as well as the political, that
he who does not advance virtually retro
grades. We trust, however, that this fine
liy nr> the affair will not satisfy
fheDemocratic party that all lias been
done that could have been done, or that
nothing more remains for the trials of the
future. The party wants leaders, great
leaders, and it also wants better organiza
tion under powerful guides. It has exccl
leut'principles, it battles for the grandest
cause, it is full of resolution—but the man
of men who is to bind these splendid re
sources into a victorious and indomitable
column has yet to come.
Aba Hartz.— George McKnight, com
monly known as Asa Hartz , who died some
months ago, left behind him a good mauy
literary relics in the way of prose and verse.
He was aborn humorist, and, when bruised
by misfortune “ in prison on Lake Erie,” be
came a poet of no mean order. These “ re
mains” his widow proposes to gather to
gether, and, if encouraged by a sufficient
subscription list, will publish them in book
form. During the war McKnight rose to
a majority. He was captured in one of the
Western battles and, for many months,
illustrated the heroic endurance of the
Confederacy on Johnson’s Island. From
this horrible abode he occasionally sent
forth wails of the tenderest despair or waifs
of the quaintest wit. They were eagerly
caught up by the public and Asa Hartz be
came a household word. The rigors of the
prison-pen and the awful cold of Winter
made havoc with a frame never very robust,
and when deliverance came at last, poor
Asa Hartz emerged from his capivity worn
to a skeleton and almost speechless. A
few years later, he passed away, and we
doubt not that his death-warrant was read
to him on Lake Erie, when the North blast
cut like a scimetar and even mercy was ar
rayed as a demon.
The widow of this faithful, gentle, bril
liant, gallant and long-enduring man has
requested of us to secure a list of twenty
five subscribers to a forthcoming volume of
his writings. In all Augusta shall we fail
to find imnty-five persons who have any
sympathy for the memory of this dead sol
dier and his living testimonies of the never
to-be-forgotten Cause?
Clarendon and European War. The
Earl of Clarendon, British Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs, has been making
a speech. On the topic of peace and war
in Europe, he'saitl:
“ I have been for some time on the Conti
nent, and 1 returned last week. I had there
the opportunity of collecting opinions, and
I have seen there some persons who exer
cise no little influence on the destinies of
Europe (an evident allusion to his inter
views with Napoleon), and although I have
not the gift of prophecy, though I do not
pretend to see further into futunty than
other men, yet I cannot help, on this occa
sion expressing my belief that at no time
within the last three years—at no time
since the war between Prussia and Austria
—have we had a fairer prospect of main
taining the inestimable blessings of peace.”
NewYork papers which, for the last three
lyears, have been incessantly predicting
Sanguinary troubles in Europe, will please

The Reason Why.—Old Ben Wade
made a speech at Akron, Ohio, last week.
He closed thus:
“ If we come up to our duty side by side
with Old Virginia we will fasten the last
nail in the coffin of slavery and special
privileges.” [Long continued applause ]
To which the Richmond Dispatch adds:
“Ben Wade lauding Virginia. ‘What
have I done that mine enemies should praise
me?’ ”
You have done what old Wade, mean as
he is, would never, the case being reversed,
have dared advise the people of Ohio to do.
Chassepot. —Marshal Canrobert has
been removed from the command of Paris.
The reason assigned is that he absolutely
refused, in case of future emergencies, to
fire upon the French people with so terrible
a weapon as the Chassepot rifle.
Canrobert draws too fine a bead. If
people are to be killed at all, why not witii
the Chassepot as well as with a muzzle
loader ! Why did he not object to the
slaughter of his fellow-citizens under any
circumstances?
Just Like Them ! —Some jears ago, the
poet Heine said:
“ I am not jealous, but I am afraid of the
captains of hussars. I distrust them, for
these fellows turn the heads of onr wives
and daughters. How they do it, how they
succeed in their plans, I do not know, but
I am sure that their tremendous mous
taches have something to do with it. Ah,
these moustaches! Just see to what per
fection they cultivate them.”
And now we learn that his widow has
married a German Captain Jinks !
A Yankee Bohemian. —lt is said that
ex-Gov. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, has been
creating a sensation at Prague by making
a speech in the Bohemian and Russian lan
guages, whicli, coming from an American,
is good.
That depends upon how good the Bohe
mian was. We all remember Jenny Lind’s
English addresses.
“ A Non-Bequiter.—ln Erie, Illinois, a

cheatingTn a cow trade; second, grossly
defaming a young lady; third, immoral

second count, proved; third count, not
established.”
Therefore, among Illinois barbarians,
cheating in cow trades and defaming young
women are not rare enough to be “ im
moral.”

Southern Trade in New York.
THE SOUTn TIIE SALVATION OF NEW YORK
TRADE—SOUTHERN TRADE DOUBLED SINCE
LAST YEAR —EXTRAORDINARY RECUPERA
TION —THE SOUTH THE MAIN-STAY OF
MERCANTILE PROSPERITY, ETC., ETC.
The New York Daily Tribune , of the 11th
instant, prefaces an extended review of the
condition of trade in New York and the
state of the markets, with the following, to
whicli we desire to call the special atten
tion of the reader:
Borne observers have ventured to speak
of the trade with the South as trebled since
1868, but this is unquestionably an exag
geration ; although in many branches, and
especially in boots and shoes, groceries,
jewelry, clothing, and dry goods, moderate
estimates place the advance at.from 25 to
75 pet cent., with a prospect, in numerous
instances, of a continued and heavy late
trade, which will probably bring the aggregate
Southern, business of the season up to twice the
amount of last year.
This indicates a most prosperous and cn-
couraging state of affairs in the region late
ly devastated by the rude hand of war, and
jh brief review of the course of Southern
trade since the close of the rebellion will
show that New York dealers are justified
in taking a rose-colored view of the situa
tion.
In the Fall of 1865 the South was so des
titute of supplies that every one engaged
in merchandizing made money with a ra
pidity that enticed many inexperienced men
into attempting a mercantile life. In 1866,
these ex-planters, professional men, North
ern speculators and other novices, bought
heavy stocks upon small capital, and flood
ed the South with more goods than could
be retailed at profitable rates. Asa neces
sary consequence, many of this class of
dealers were compelled to sell out at any
price, and quit a business they did not un
derstand. In 1867 their successors bought
boldly in September and October upon the
strength of the good cotton crop of that
year, but the sudden fall of 60 or 70 per
cent, in the price of the great staple later
in the season upset all their calculations
and entailed a second year of commercial
misfortune upon the South.
In 1868 another good cotton crop was
gathered, and of this the Southern people
realized the profits, instead of the speculat
ors who had carried off the lion’s share the
year before. Disaster had taught pru
dence and compelled economy, and return
ing good fortune enabled the Southerners
to re-establish themselves on a sound and
comfortable footing. And now comes the
cotton crop of 1869 to swell this tide of pros
perity, to insure plenty, and even luxury al
the South; to fill the coffers of the merchants
of Manhattan, and to spread its beneficial in
fluence throughout the civilized world.
In no country bnt the South, aud with
no crop but cotton, can three hundred mil
lions of wealth be so easily created in a
twelve-month out of the soil. And while
this holds true the Southern trade must con
tinue the main-stay of mercantile pi-osperity in
Netc York.
Not only does the cotton crop this year
furnish a broad and satisfactory basis for
Southern trade, but the business is almost
universally in good and experienced hands,
old merchants who traded here before the
war having taken advantage of the bank
rupt law, accumulated sufficient capital for
a business venture, and made their ap
pearance in New York this Fall in unusual
numbers. Caution is also manifested against
overstocking (a fault to which Southern
dealers are especially prone,) the increase
in the volume of trade being due to the
greater number of buyers, rather than to
the purchase of heavier invoices. Few
favors are asked in the way of credit, many
dealers paying cash, and the others giving
very satisfactory paper.
In all respects the Southern trade this Fall
is excellent, but the same cannot be said of
trade with the West. In New England trade
no change is observed, aud in New York
and Pennsylvania a visible improvement
is noted in some instances; but in the
West a degree of embarrassment prevails
which delays business, hinders collections,
and makes cautious merchants chary of
selling largely except for cash. Recent
letters from Michigan, Wisconsin and Min-
nesota corroborate this statement, and at
tribute the evil mainly to the action of the
farmers in holding back last year’s pro
duce for a rise. Money Is in extreme de
mand for moving the crops, and business,
which has, moreover, been decidedly over
done in many localities, feels the pressure
keenly. The contrast between the shrewd,
but sometimes over-reaching Westerner,
and the liberal, but perhaps prodigal
Southron, is clearly seen and felt in this
state of affhits. The latter puts his crop
in the market before.it is gathered, and be
gins distributing its proceeds before the
first bale is packed. The former holds the
produce of his land with a Arm clutch,
and would rather embarrass himself and
all his neighbors than run the risk of
losing a possible profit. Either course may
result in disaster to the agriculturist; but
the Southern style oils the wheels, while the,
Westeim plan claps down the brakes of trade ;
and now that the South, of old the favorite
market .of New York, has commenced
anew a prosperous career, it needs no wizard
to reveal the, commercial quarter for which
shrewd merchants will hereafter steer their
course and trim their tails.

CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE IN FAVOR OF
HOSTETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS.
W. 11. Rusk, a leading druggist in Montioello, 111.,
in a letter of June 6,18C8, writes to this effect: “Hav
ing fold Hostetter’s Bitters for the past four years, I
cannot but spe -.k ot the article as being the best lonic
and appetizer extant. During the ague season of
1865-’6, 1 could not keep a sufficient stock on hand to
supply my customer*. In fact, physicians pres crib)
it ull over the Western country. Indeed, a great many
families think they are not safe williout your invaluable
tonic."
J. K. Witherspoon, Esq , a Magistrate of Kershaw
county, 8. C., states, under date April 18,1868, that he
hasuaed the Bitters con.tanlly in his own family for
the previous two years. He first L ied the prep aration
when suffering from exhaustion produced l.y a severe
attack of fever. Before the first hot 1 Ip was fini-hed he
experienced a remarkable change fur the better. He
had tried brandy at the outset, but found that did him
move harm than good. In one month from the time
he commenced using the Bitters his health, strength
and appetite were restored. He had re om mended
the article to others in like circumstances, and never
known it to fail, and had found it a perfect specific for
chilis and fever.
Mr. Samuel Young, of Clarion, Pa., under date
April 6, 1868, certifies that he was completely cured of
“ one of the most distreFsmg attacks of dyspepsia that
ever affiicted any mortal,” by three bottles oftlie Bit
ters, after “ various other remedies ha t ptoved power
less ” Restored to perfect health, he thanks “that
excellent preparation lor the result.”
Dr. G M. Bpencef, of Brush Creek, Perry county,
Al&.. writing thence February 8,1808, says : “ I have
used your Stomach Bitters for several years in my
practice, and find them superior to most of the Bitters
now prescribed by the profession generally.”
