CONSTITUTIONALIST.
ATJGHJSTA. GhA. *
PREPAY MORNING, OPT. 22,1869
THE NEW DANGER TO THE REPUBLIC.
According to Senator Carpenter, of
Wisconsin, a noted Radical, there is a
danger to our institutions looming up iu
the immediate future greater even than
slavery was ever supposed to be. This
danger he calls Monopoly, and the parties
combining to make it a tyrannical success
are, respectively, the Railroad, Express and
Telegraph Companies. His allusions to
these corporations must principally have
reference to the North, and, if any reference
1s made to the South, it is only as an inci
dent and a tool of the money-rings of the
East. Slavery had to go before the coun
try on a party-platform, and it ceased to be
dangerous when it ceased to have the back
ing of superior numbers. But the Mo
nopoly conspirators work in the dark and
through a few potential individuals. Mr.
Carpenter illustrates this idea as follows:
“The railroads, express and telegraph
business of the United States—embracing
untold millions of capital, reaching into
every State, Territory, county, town, vil
lage and farm of the country—may alt be
managed by a board of fifteen directors,
sitting with closed doors, by candle light,
in Wall,street. What they determine upon
they need not submit to public examina -
tion. nor to the contingency of a general
election by the people, and thus a power
more formidable than the National Govern
ment, because more closely touching the
rights and pockets of the people, will come
to be exercised by a few men, whose inter
ests in all things are directly opposed to
the interests of the people, without the con
sent or even the knowledge of the people.
The power of such an organization on our
own popular elections, with their paid
agents in every school district, the im
mense number of employees and officers,
men of influence and intelligence, all capa
ble ot being directed by telegraphic com
munication by a central head in Wall
street, and the immense capital capable of
being poured out secretly at any point;
their power to build up or destroy towns
and cities bv discriminating tariffs, and to
create or destroy the fortunes of individ
uals, cannot be over estimated, and it will
be owing to the mercy of Heaven, or the
vigilance of our people, if they do not so
far extend their schemes as to ordain anew
Constitution foi' the people of the United
States .” [Sensation.]
We do not know how real or how wild
these conjectures may be, and it has even
been whispered that Mr. Carpenter is at
the head of a cabal which is fully as dan
gerous as the clique he wars against. But,
supposing that some solid truths lurk In
these ominous prognostications, we cannot
cease wondering that the man who utters
them is a Radical of high repute, whose
policy has been the direct cause of what
ever centralization may now be discovered
in trade or in government. Os course, the
workings of the Monopoly will be to
break down the pride and corrupt the mov-
the people; but such an essay would
have proved an utter and ignominious fail
ure had not Mr. Carpenter and his party
first paved the way by infractions of the
Constitution and a system of debauchery
which may be equalled by the dreaded Mo
nopoly, but cannot be surpassed. Mean
while, if fifteen men in New York can run
the machine ridiculously named a Repub
lic; if they can elect Bullock Gover
nor of Georgia and Grant President
of the united States; if, in a word,
they can cheat the dear people repeatedly
and count upon cheating them whenever
they please—why, they are the most re
markable fifteen we ever dreamed, read or
heard of, and deserve everything they can
get from the piggish masses they drive and
control. For our part, we hope Mr. Car-
penter’s apprehensions will prove correct.
Perhaps, when the money-changers and the
speculators gripe them by.the throat, the
Northern jwonfcjggifiho eager k to
ffaiSwewlt'tneSotttn, Vvijl reakofa
the cost of quelling the liberties of any sec
tion of this country. It may be that the
assumed intolerable despotism of the Mo
nopoly will lead to a rebellion due North ;
and it may lie, if the game is worth the
candle, the South will be enabled to give
the folks of certain sections doses of
<l loyalty ” which may cause them to howl,
as doctors are popularly supposed to do
when compelled to take their own physic.
I<\ W e are to have a choice between Radi
calism and Monopoly, by all means let’s
have the latter. We have tried the one.—
Satan himself, even under the name ot
Monopoly, conld not devise any change for
the worse.
Silk Dresses. —According to a writer
in the World, even silk dresses are adul
terated. The fabrics look heavy, glossy
and superb; but, in reality, they are doc
tored with gum. Weigh a piece of silk
about the width of three Augers aud worth
$2 75 per yard. It will probably dip the
scales at 124 carats. Then boil the sample
slowly in a tea-cup. You will soon have a
residuum of thin jelly and a sorry lookiug
sample. Weigh your silk scrap a second
time and see if that which weighed 124
carats will now reach 52! Wherefore, in
consequence of containing 120 per cent, of
gum, silk dresses worn in America soon be
come rusty and look second-handed. The
tariff on silk goods is 60 per cent.; the gold
premium 40 per cent.; American women
insist upon a heavy article. Hence this
gum and humbug.
Rachel. —All of our idols turn to clay.
Now comes Madame Samson, wife of the
great French actor of that name, and car
ries off the Gaza-gates of Rachel’s repn
fation. She says:
“ She killed herself with ignoble passions;
she pined with rage and envy, because she
had a lean, ugly neck, poor complexion,
while Mme. Arnould was fair and well
rounded. The finishing blow was Ristori,
who was discovered by Samson alter one of
his many quarrels. He translated “ Me
dea ” into Italian for her great rival, and
from that day she renounced the stage and
carried herself, with her uncontrolled rage,
into the grave.”
European and American Jews.— The
New York Herald contrasts the position of
the children of Israel in Europe aud Amer
ica much to the credit of the latter.—
Though many Jews in Europe possess
enormous wealth, poverty is still the badge
of the masses of the tribe. In America,
however, If great fortunes do not abound
great distress is unknown. Oppression
keeps the Israelite down across the seas;
freedom, or the next thing to it, gives him
a fair chance on this side of the ocean.—
On the whole, it is admitted that this coun
try is the modern Promised Land of the
suffering Jews of Europe.
Ilk.— I The Richmond Dispatch is a dabster
at philology. Hear this V
“ Ilk,” says Wright’s Dictionary, as also
Worcester’s, denotes as a noon the same
name, as “ Macjpherson of that ilk”—that
is, whose clan or estate is also named Mac
pherson, as “ Macpherson of Macpherson.”
It is so used by BTr Walter Scott and
many other writers. Such is its only cor
rect use. To use it as synonymoos with
sort, or class, or kind, is as objectionable
as to use “ nee,” as some Solomons do, as
synonymous with “ formerily.”
Very true. But this is the age of pro
gress and “ ilk,” with many other matters,
has suffered reconstruction.
American Bishops in Rome.—Prince
Dobia-Fanfili has rented one-half of his
graM palace for the reception of the Ameri
can bishops who will be present at the
Ecumenical Council. It is said that the
Prince.is sorely la need of the cash thus
acquired, and that the American pfsiates
will roll in gilded coaches on the Pincian
Hill the theological nabobs of the day.
The National Intelligencer —Sen-
ator Sprague is reported to be at the bot
tom of the recent purchase of the National
Intelligencer. Our brilliant Louisville con
temporary, the Courier-Journal, says of this
matter:
“ When a newspaper falls into such a
weaving way its usefulness may be said to
be over. Better lay the old journal in the
grave, with its rusty'small clothes on, than
to trot it out in a fancy jacket that hides
nothing and is hardly respectable.”
If it be true that E. A. Pollard is to
take the management, it will not be long
before the sheriff shall have a summons as
.chief mourner.
A New Pacific Railroad.— The Mis
souri Republican contends that another Pa
cific Railroad must be built. The present
route is badly located and cannot have con
venient branches. It is too far from the
central line of population. In the Spring,
freshets will partially destroy it, and, in
the Winter, snow drifts will render it in
operative. The Southern Pacific Route is
the grand desideratum, and its destiny is
manifest. The only question is, how shall
it be built; by private capital in ten or fif
teen years, or by Government aid in five ?
Sharp and Quick.— Secretary Bout
well’s dispatch ordering four millions of
gold to be put upon the market, during the
recent panic, was known to some of the
Wall street brokers ten or twenty minutes
before it reached the Assistant Treasurer.
The wires were tapped and the message
was intercepted. Hulbert himself could
hardly have performed a more redoubtable
feat, though his Georgia manipulation of
the ballot is thought to be fully equal to
anything extant in the way of strategy or
chicane.
Aunt Tommy in Germany.—A careful
digest, of the Stowe-Byron controversy has
been prepared in Germany. After weeks
of thought and illimitable pipe-puffs, not
one solitary Teuton of any influence or
good breeding has found aught but con
demnation and disbelief of the \ ankee
Vampire.
A New Lease. —We regret to learn that
Parson Brownlow has either been “ play
ing possum,” after the manner of Riche
lieu and Thao. Stevens, or else he never
was as sick as common rumor declared.
The latest intelligence represents him to be
as tough as a broiled owl, and as tenacious
of life as the king of the tom-cats.
Spiteful. —The Richmond Whig seems
very much gratified at the silence of the
Democratic Rooster. We never knew of a
prejudice which stuck so deep as hatred of
Democracy sticks in the gizzard of the
Whig.
Ohio.
LESSONS OF THE OHIO ELECTION —COMMENTS
OF THE PRESS ON THE DEFEAT OF PEN
DLETON.
[Fiom the Cincinnati Gazette (Rep ), 16tli.
Now that the Republican triumph in
Ohio is conceded, it is important to consid
er the meaning of the election. An appeal
was made to the people, and it has been an
swered through the ballot box. What is
the reply ? The Democratic party adopted
in the main a negative policy and forced
■Upon the Republicans three distiuct issues,
viz: Taxation of bonds, inflation of the
currency and payment of the debt in
greenbacks, and the fifteenth amendment.
In return, the Republicans took position
on these questions, and in addition held-up
the conduct of the Administration in the
matter of revenue and expenditures, for
approval, and brought up the anti war
record of the Democratic leaders. These
were, in the main, the issues—in part de
fensive and in part aggressive—and upon
these the people have brought in a verdict
in favor of the Republicans. In regard to
the payment of the bonds, it is a mistake to
say that the question of gold or greenbacks
was squarely presented. The Republican
platform ignored the question because it
was found impossible to agree. One side
desired an endorsement of the public credit
bill, while another a|lvocat«l a resolution
OB Resolutions j
finally agreed to disagree, and the question,
as we have said, was ignored in the plat
form. In the canvass, it was admitted that
there is a difference o' opinion, in the Re
publican party, on the question, as there is
in the Democratic party ; but generally it
was argued that the Government has a
legal and moral right to pay the bonds in
the currency of the country; that is to
say, it has a right to use existing greenbacks
for that purpose; but at the same time it
was urged that it might not be wise to ex
ercise this right. Let it not be supposed,
however, that the people of Ohio endorsed
the public credit bill; or that they are in
favor, unconditionally, of paying bonds in
gold which, by the terms of the contract,
can be shown to be payable in the currency
of the country. If Congress shall devise
means that will enhance the value of the
greenback dollar and place anew loan upon
the market at a low rate of interest, the
people will acquiesce; but if a gap of 25
per cent, is to remain between the paper
dollar and the gold dollar, they will not
consent to the payment of a debt in the
latter that is legally payable in the former.
This, upon the bond question, is the mean
ing of the election.
[From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
A WORD FROM MR. FENPLETON’S HOME OR
GAN.
The canvass made by Mr. Pendleton has
been a glorious one, although it has not
been crowned with the full measure of suc
cess which was expected by our more ar
dent friends. The events that took place
at the New York Convention last year
chilled the Democratic heart in Ohio and
greatly added to the already towering Re
publican majority. It was under these
depressing circumstances, upon the heels
of a crushing Presidential defeat in the
election, and after General Rosecrans had
declined, that Mr. Pendleton was prevail
ed upon to be our party’s standard-bearer
in this canvass. From the first the largest
odds were against him, and if Mr. Pendle
ton had been in the least influenced by per
sonal considerations, he would not have
accepted the nomination. But, nobly and
generously recognizing the claims of his
party friends, he threw himself into the
breach, and inarched at the hea l of the
Democratic column. It was extremely un
fortunate that, on account of physical de
bility, he was unable to make the canvass
in the State. Asa persuasive and argu
mentative speaker he is not excelled in the
Union, aud we lost thousands of votes by
his absence from the speaking forum.—
Many counties where the Democratic vote
has not been brought out would have been
thoroughly aroused could he have spoken
to the people. Iu the Southern part of
Ohio, where personal popularity is so great,
this disadvantage was overcome, and a
gain of five to six thousand votes was
made upon the Thurman poll; but in Cen
tral and Northern Ohio the want of an ef
ficient organization is distinctly perceived
in the losses to which we have been sub
jected in that quarter. There were other
and unseen influences, of no very honora
ble character, operating there. But, under
all these adverse circumstances, so strong
is Mr. Pendleton’s name, so devoted are
the Democracy to him, so great is the re
spect for his high-toned character and tal
ents, that he has ruu Hayes to the girths,
and almost defeated him, in this immense
ly Republican State. He has every reason
to lie proud of the excellent race he has
made, and of the noble manner he has been
sustained by his political friends. It was
owing to him we carried Hamilton county
and saved the Legislature. No other can
didate would have polled anything like the
vote he received or elicited the enthusiasm
which greeted ns in the canvass. His de
feat will not in the least impair his reputa
tion in Ohio and throughout the West. On
the contrary, the Democracy entertain for
him higher sentiments of regard than ever.
Never was he more enshrined in the affec
tions of the people, and the sorrow of the
masses at the untoward result was univer
sal.
[From the Cincinnati Commercial.
THE REAL ISSUE AND HOW IT WAS MET.
The greenback question could not have
been put more squarely to the people of
Ohio than it was in the canvass just passed.
General Cary was put forward as the lead
ing speaker on the Democratic side, for his
known position on financial policy and his
supposed identification with the laboring
Interest. He announced what the policy
of the Democracy would be if placed in
power. The currency would be inflated as
fast as printing presses could manufacture
the notes, and the emission of greenbacks
was not to stop till hundreds of millions
had been issued to satify what he conceived
to be the demands of production, industry
and commerce. The bonds were to be paid
off in these depreciated notes, the National
Banks extinguished, and the old system of
State banking restored. In brief, the thedry
of Mr. Pendleton wasannounced with suc h
absurd improvements as a financially un
educated demagogue would be apt to add.
Mr. Pendleton’s strength lay In the sup
posed popularity of his financial plan.—
But when the issue was squarely made, the
people voted it down, and its author with
It. Neither Cary’s extravagant oratory
nor Mr. Pendleton’s suavity were of any
avail. The course of the Administration
stands endorsed by the people of Ohio and
Pennsylvania, and will grow in favor with
them if it is known at the end of each
financial year one hundred millions of the
public debt has been extinguished. To ac
complish this is the ambition of the Presi
dent and his able Secretary, and they will
work with an eye single to that purpose.
The Mosby-Boyd Difficulty.
AN INTERVIEW WITH COL. MOSSY —HIS STATE
MENT OF TtfE AFFAIR—MILITARY AP
POINTMENTS IN THE STATE.
The New York Herald recently sent a
correspondent to investigate the Mosby-
Boyd affair, who had interviews with both
parties. Leaving out the greater part of
the correspondent’s clap-trap about a big
pistol that lay upon the table in Colonel
Mosby’s office, and some general opinions
of no particular importance, the following
is his account of the statement made by
Colonel Mosby:
“ Colonel Mosby, what was the origin of
the difficulty between Colonel Boyd and
yourself?”
Mosby—Well, I will tell you ; and I am
glad to do so, because I suppose people
outside will think that it arose out of
political differences, which it did not. I
had and have nothing personal against
Colonel Boyd. He was sent here last April
by General Canby to act as sheriff of
Fauquier county. It was soon discovered
that his bond was worthless, those who had
signed it not being worth anything. There
was a meeting of the members of the bar
here relative to the subject. At this meet
ing a memorial addressed to General Canby
was drawn up and adopted. It set forth
the fact that Colonel Boyd had failed to
give a satisfactory bond, and that the mem
bers of the bar felt it to be their duty in
the interest of their clients, to protest
against Colonel Boyd’s performing the
duties of sheriff without giving bond. 1
was selected to carry the memorial to
General Canby, which I did.
Correspondent—What did General Canby
say to you?
Mosby—He said he would look into the
matter; but, instead of doing so, he sent
Colonel Lee here to institute an investiga
tion into an alleged conspiracy among the
members of the bar of this place to defeat
the reconstruction laws.
Correspondent—Was there a conspiracy
for that purpose ?
Mosby—Not a bit of it. We had no
more notion of interfering with the recon
struction laws than you have. We simply
wanted a man for sheriff who would not
run away with the revenues of the county,
or if he did run away we wanted to have
some bondsmen that had something to
take hold of.
Correspondent—Were Colonel Boyd’s
bondsmen persons of property ?
Mosby—No; they had nothing. I be
lieve that altogether they did not pay more
than ninety cents Internal Revenue tax.
So you can judge how much property they
had. Due of them, named Cannon, applied
to be released from the bond shortly after
Boyd qualified.
Correspondent—Why did he do that?
Mosby—Well, Cannon is the editor of a
little paper here called the Sentinel. Col.
Boyd went to him and said : “Cannon, if
you go on my bond I’ll give you the adver
tising patronage of the sheriff’s office.”
Cannon agreed to this, and became one of
Boyd’s securities. Cannon soon discovered,
however, that Boyd had no advertising,
and no patronage of any sort, and so he
petitioned to be released.
Correspondent—Then it was a sort of a
bargain between Boyd and Cannon for their
mutual benefit.
Mosby—Precisely. The matter came up
in court before Judge Hill. He decided
that the bond was worthless, and Cannon
was released. What do you think Canby
did ? He appointed Colonel Boyd over
again without any bond at all, although
we told him we would be satisfied if he
would detail General McKibben or any
other regular army officer to act as sheriff,
because their commission would be some
security.
Correspondent—Did General Canby. assign
an v reason for appointing Boyd over again ?
Mosby—No, he did. not. I don’t like to
qnestion a man’s-motives, but itwasauttte
Mngnlu that Catobv should hangon to this
man Boyd when ae knew he had no bond
and was insolvent besides.
Correspondent—You don’t mean to inti
mate that there was any corrupt purpose
on the part of General Canby ?
Mosby—Well, it looks as if there was
something wrong. I think Canby is the
Fagin of the business, and Boyd is the
Artful Dodger. —-
Here Colonel Mosby laughed, whether at.
the idea of his being well up in Dickens’
“ Oliver Twist,” or at the respective roles of
General Canbv and Colonel Boyd was not
apparent.
Correspondent—Well, how does the case
stand now ?
Mosby—Col. Boyd is still sheriff, but lie
has given no bond. He has, however,
“ farmed out” the office to Mr. Hume, who
was sheriff here before the war.
Correspondent—What do you mean by
“ farming out the office ?”
Mosby—Mr. Hume can’t take the “ iron
clad,” but Boyd can. Hume gives Boyd
SSOO for the privilege of acting as sheriff.
Boyd signs the writs, but Hums does the
work aud get, the perquisites or fees.—
That’s what we call “ farming out.”
Correspondent—ls that a common thing
here?
Mosby—Yes; its done with nearly every
office. It’s the effect of the “ iron-clad.”
Here's one of my boys, Chilton, who is
Commonwealth Attorney for this county.
He gave some fellow a couple of hundred
dollars to take the “iron-clad” for him,
and he fills the office.
Correspondent—ls General Canby aware
of this “farming out” business?
Mosby—Of course he is. I tell you it is
done all over Virginia by the men whom
Canby appoints to till the offices.
Correspondent—How did all the difficul
ty about Col. Boyd’s bond lead to the cor
respondence about the duel ?
Mosby—l took a very active part in hav
ing Colonel Boyd’s bond broken, and when
the matter was up in court, I pronounced it
a Peter Funk affair, and gave it as my
opinion that Boyd came here to swindle the
county. I was also employed as counsel to
collect a bill of over S4OO which Colonel
Boyd owed a lady ip Washington named
Miss Smith, for board or rent. He said I
was persecuting him. One day I was com
ing in from the country, and happened to
meet Colonel Boyd on the road. I spoke to
him in a friendly way, for I had nothing
personal against him, when he turned his
horse around and said, “ Colonel Mosby, if
you don’t stop interfering with my business
I will make it a personal matter with you.”
I said, “ You can do so as soon as you
please, and in any manner or at any time.”
He then said, “ Mosby, if you will go with
me to Pennsylvania I will prove you to be
a damned highway robber.” J replied that
I would hold him responsible for those
words when he got to town.
Correspondent—Why didn’t you fight it
on the road ?
l don’t think that it is
quite the thing for two gentlemen who have
served as colonels of cavalry to make
bruisers of themselves. Besides, Colonel
Boyd is a man of about 175 pounds and
very athletic, while I don’t weigh. over 125
pounds. He could have crushed me in a
fist fight like an egg shell.
Correspondent—On what terms did you
agree to fight ?
Mosby—At ten paces, witli Colt’s army
revolvers, the parties to advance as close
as they pleased after the word was given to
fire, and keep firing until all the barrels
were emptied.
Correspondent—ls the thing had come off
somebody would have been hart, I sup
pose?
Mosby—lt would have settled the sheriff
business, I think. lam a pretty good shot
with an army pistol.
Correspondent—Do you keep that thing
on the table all the time ? (pointing to the
Colt’s revolver already alluded to.)
Mosby—No; 1 carried that pistol all
through the war with me. 1 brought it
out when this trouble occurred, because I
expected to be assaulted in the street, and I
wanted to be ready.
Correspondent—What is the general
impression here about Colonel Boyd’s con
duct?
Mosby—Well, you have seen the corre
spondence. I wrote the last note, and he
has not replied to it. First I accepted what
I presumed to be a challenge. He backed
out of that, and then I challenged him for
calling me a “ highway robber.” He has
refused to accept my challenge, and there’s
where the matter stands. I saw in the
Herald that there was some difficulty In
Colonel Boyd getting a second. Now, the
trouble with him was to get a principal.—
He could have got plenty gentlemen to act
as his second. Why, half a dozen of my
friends volunteered to wait on him if he
couldn’t have secured any of his own.
Correspondent—Then you think Boyd
Wpn’t fight ?
Mosby—Well, he had a chance, and he
didn’t accept it. You can draw your own
inference. The truth is, this is. the first
time one of these carpet-baggers has been
brought to time. They are accustomed to
Tide rough shod over our people, aud nobody
calls them to account. l W ' -v-
Correspondent—What do you think of
Tecoustruction?
Mosby—Haven’t we done all we were
asked to do ? lam in favor of doing any
thing to get back Into the Union, so that
we may get rid of these carpet-baggers.
Correspondent—What do you call a
carpet-bagger ?
Mosby—These adventurers that come
here to prey oo us, and roam through the
State after offices under Canby. I don’t
waut to be understood as objecting to
Northern people coming here to settle. Ou
the contrary, I wish we had more of them ;
I mean people who come to settle down. I
want to sell them land and marble quarries
and treatt hem well; but those harpies are
a scourge to us. They have no interest in
the State.

Begs to make known to his friends and the general public, that he has now on
hand, and making constant additions, one of the Largest, Most Varied and Best Select
ed Stocks of DRY GOODS, for the Fall and Winter Trade of 1860, that has ever been
offered In this vicinity.
The stock will always be found to consist of a Full Line of all Goods to be met
with in a First Class Dry Goods House, and I pledge myself that the high reputation,
the house has already attained shall be more than sustained.
Residing permanently in New York, and purchasing solely from the Manufacture
and Agents, exclusively for cash, with an experience extending over twenty-five- years
in the Dry Goods Market, as buyer and retailer, I am confident of being able to offer
Goods, both in Styles and at Prices, which must in truth compete with any house in the
South.
An examination of Stock and Prices, by customers, cannot fail to convince thera of
the truth of what I state.
