CONSTITUTIONAL! ST. aughjsta. C*A. WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOV. 3, 1869 VERY LIBERAL. William Lloyd Garrison and Henry Ward Beecher may, without much cavil, be taken as representatives of the theologi cal part of that New England civilization which heaven has, for some inscrutable purpose, permitted, ioji great degree, to dominate over this land. At any rate, their felse philosophy has had a species of triumph, just as the jackal triulnphs, by following in the wake of brute force and assuming to police the country. Now the great forte of both these apostolic men is •• liberality * tor all men and women, save and except the white people of the South; and if, perchance, a word of charity steals forth from either breathing kindness and mercy for dead or living “ rebels,” its spas modic existence lasts jnst so long as their congregations or hearers applaud, and not one instant beyond. Surfeited for a mo ment with the negro, especially since Parker Pillsbury’s recent revelations, the strong and overflowing humanitarian principle of this brace of worthies seeks nourishment in woman-suffrage and Chi nese immigration. Mr. Garrison decidedly refused, at a Woman’s Rights Convention, to consider the woman question in a Bibli cal point of view. He had heard a good deal of twaddle about the Bible but never knew anything to be settled by it. His entire discourse a profound con tempt for the Sacred Scriptures and he was evidently willing to trample them under foot if they jarred against any of his favorite turns, just as he proposed to do, years ago, when slavery was the test. Mr. Beecher, the “ Rev.” Mr. Beecher, was, in efl'ect, not more tender of the Word than his infidel coadjutor. He declared, at the same con vention, that he was not only in favor of female suffrage but also “ for the Chinaman’s « voting, pig-tail and all, for his sake as “ well as ours.” He seemed to think that the negro had broken down the barriers for everything human. Having no reli gion himself, all creeds are the same to him whether Buddhist or Mumbo Jumbo; and, if St. Paul, or anv other Saint, should chance to stand in his way, or Garrison’s way, or the way of mo dern New England progress, why so much the worse for St. Paul and any other man or angel. We admire the man’s audacity, if we cannot commend his mo tive or his broad-gauge liberalism. A few years ago, we wrote from Washington con cerning Garrison’s portrait, that he “ look ed as if he had swallowed a negro baby and that it had soured on his stomach.” What he looks like now the pious reader may imagine. As to the Rev. H. W. 8., we refer the curious to a letter from the Count Joannes, published in this issue, which describes, among other things, the burning of Lyman Beecher’s Temperance Church in Boston. Until the conflagra tion, it had not been known that the cellar of the church was used to store Now England rum, in order to help pay the rent! When Henry Ward Beecher, Wm. Lloyd Garrison and such pestilent agita tors get a proper scorching, there will be exhibitions made of their interior princi ples which may shock even the olfactories and buzzard proclivities of ghoulish Mrs. -Nobody fully aua|uq>t.e<l old Ly man Brrcijkr’b hypocrisy until it was read in the revealing flames. Everybody, more or less, must lie aware that his son is a charlatan, though a genius; but the ex tent of his charlatanism has yet to be found out —the extent of his genius for charlatanism being proof against every thing except a first-class Are. ALCORN’S BLACK FLAG. In the latter part of 1861 a brigade of sixty-day volunteers, commanded by Gen. Alcorn, the present scalawag Radical candidate for Governor of Mississippi, reached Bowling Green, Ky., and forthwith proceeded to testify their courage by rais ing the black flag. As soon as General Albert Stdney Joiinston became cogni zant of this, he ordered Alcorn to haul down his dusky banner, sarcastically re marking that “ it ill became men who had enlisted for only two months to be so ex tra-sanguinary.” We do not care much for Judge Dent, Alcorn’s competitor, but we like him the better of the two. If he is hard run for an item, we give the above, and refer him to Gen. Wm. Preston, of "Kentucky, as au thority. Reconstruction. —An Alabama paper states that “ a good many ex-Confederates ‘•are enlisting in different places in the “ regular army.” The Raleigh Standard declares that “fully twenty percent, of the men composing the regiments and compa nies now garrisoning the Southern States were formerly of the rank and file of the Southern army, and they live socially and kindly with their brethren in arms.” As they enlisted for bread and meat, be ing too lazy or too high strung to plow and hoe, we see no reason why they should not live “ socially and kindly,” considering the fact that bucking and gagging are gentle persuaders of refractory white soldiers. Gross Depravity. —According to the Church Congress, recently in session at Liverpool, out of 12,000,000 of Englishmen, the majority are worse than Pagans in Kaffraria or New Zealand. “ Their minds “ were kept under a continual strain for “ the supply of daily wants; they ate, “drank and slept like quadrupeds, and “ passed to their great account with as “ little thought as the beasts that perish.” As this is the picture drawn by the clergy men of the Establishment, would it not be .well for them to keep one eye on the Pope and another one, the weather one, on their own heathen. Railroad Presidencies. —A few days ago, we noticed a speech of Senator Car penter’s, wherein it was stated that the great danger to the country was in a com bination of Railroad, Telegraph and Express Companies. As Democracy has suffered from these things in tlie past, perhaps a new departure will be taken in the future. The appointment of George H. Pendleton as President of a great corporation may mean mischief to Carpenter and his gang. We should be sorry to consider such a re tirement as a sort of elegant Asylum for disappointed statesmen and soldiers. TrOOLY Loil.—The Savannah papers make great ado over the discovery that Harrison Reed, so-called Governor of Florida, has been bribed by an ex-Yankee General to the extent of $12,600. Stealing is the trade of his tribe. The fellow, con sidering his opportunities, has beeh quite moderate. Why did he not make it $13,000? Did the Yankee General cavil over the odd $500? The Pantin Murder. —The body of John Kinck, the father, has been discov ered. So Traupmann, the assassin, killed father, mother and six children,' thereby fairly exterminating an entire family. As he was instigated to commit this crime through admiration of the Wandering Jew, his meeting with Eugene Sue in the other world will be something worthy of high sphitaal research. *. The Cotton Crop. —Last week, the New 1 York Herald reported the present cotton crop as hard on 4,000,000 of bales. In less than seven days it has drooped nearly a million of bales in its estimate. Try again Mr. Ssnkstt i yoa have amargin yet. ; Charles O'Conor. —The greatest law yer in New York, was once a newsboy « of the old school.” His first glimpse of his father to know him was in & Debtor’s Prison, whither embarrassment and not disgrace had sent |jim. Mr. O’Conor la childless, but, according to a recent biog rapher, he “ has made his life rhythmic with beauty—the beauty of an unalterably lofty goal in his profession, the beauty of earnest and unremitting love for justice, and this alone for his clients; the beauty of broad and unselfish charity, and last and not least, the beauty of a pure private life.” Goins. —President Salnavk, who has been disturbing the poor negroes of Hayti, is a fugitive. He proposes to carpet-bag to Jamaica. What a chance for Wm. H. Seward ! Denial. —The prosecuting attorney in Gen. Butterfield's arson scrape did not become an outlaw as charged in the New Tt ork World. His character is without re proach. Conflagration. —Our esteemed contem porary of the Rome Courier “ burns with shame” because Gen. Grant, P. U. S., had a margin in the Gold Ring. Downfall. —The great Count Bismarck is reported drunk every day. He met his match in John Barleycorn. Our New York Correspondence. New York, October 30. Never have we had a staler canvass than that which lias preceded the election which is to take place Tuesday next, and never were astute politicians more unsettled in their views respecting the probable result. The Democrats consider the State ticket secure, and are Lending all their energies to carry the Legislature. The Republi cans consider the Legislature safe to them; and pretend to have hopes of the State ticket. The result the telegraph will tell you almost as soon as this reaches you. The “workingmen” of this city are making a special point on a coroner, as if they all expected to die violent deaths in the next three years, and needed a friend and “fellow-workingman” to attend to their last needs. The World newspaper perpetrates an amusing gag upon the candidates for local offices. It publishes what it denominates a “ Striker’s Directory,” being a list of the candidates for the various offices, with their “income returns” (if any) for 1868. Not more than ten made any return what ever, and. among these are included men of known wealth. The list has set everybody into a broad grin, and contributed not a little to the amusing features of the can vass. Some discussion has arisen recently upon the propriety of the leading journals is suing Sunday editions. It has served to call attention to the fact that the journals which have been most prosperous in the past two years—those which increased their business and profits most—are the Sun and Tribune, which issue no Sunday editions, and those which have fallen off most in circulation are the Times and Her ald, which have long issued Sunday edi tions. Ido not ascribe this to any special providence, but to that inexorable law which demands one day’s rest in seven. By keeping the attaches of a journal on duty “ week in and week out,” they lose their freshness and elasticity, and the co lumns they fill become sluggish and com monplace. The excitement growing out of the late gold panic has mostly subsided. General Grant, if !»e has not been guilty of tamper ing with public finances for his own gain, has.committed imprudences in his personal relations that none of his predecessors have ever fallen into. The result, we are told semi-officially this morning in the Tribune, is, that all relations between General Grant and Mr. Corbin are suspended. But this will not save General Grant’s reputa «on WUy damaged in. the minds of all thoughtful persons Hla acceptance ot favors and attention from miscellaneous persons and’soldiers of fortune, of all grades, as completely demonstrates the vulgar character of the man as the fact that he consented to dispense cheap gin over a bar in California. A true gentleman, however poor he may become, will never allow him self to be degraded, nor be betrayed into degrading associations, and any man who expected that General Grant would be made a gentleman by his advanced rank must have been ignorant of his early course, o.- blind to the truism I have just stated. Fancy, if you can, Jefferson Davis going about the country, “gobbling” everything from a free steamboat ride to a pair of horses or a house and lot at the hands of no matter whom, and you can conceive, per haps, the disgraceful conduct of General Grant during the past few months. He has literally experienced the truth of the proverb, “ Lie down with dogs and get up with fleas.” The Sun, the other day, published a four column letter from General Lee’s Univer sity in Virginia. It declared that the insti tution is exerting a powerful influence in maintaining Southern feeling intact from the ravages of the late war, and transmit ing it to future generations. We sadly need a growth of that high regard for prin ciples and public morals in the dominant elements of our politics and society. The columns in our city journals which are devoted to “ crimes and casualties ’’are enough to make a sensitive person shudder. Not a day goes over without a homicide— sometimes three or four. This morning, we have the distressing particulars of thedeath by a fire of a man, his wife, and two chil dren. All the principal buildings in the lower part of the city, which may have many occupants, such as lawyers, small manufactories, brokers, &c., are in charge of janitors, who keep them clean, keep off intruders, and exercise a general super vision over them. Thesei janitors, with their families, occupy the upper floor of the buildings, where rooms are fitted up for their accommodation ; and, except that they are six or seven flights of stairs from the'street, they are generally very comforta bly situated. One of these buildings took fire last night and the janitor and his family were burned to death. Cut off, of course, from all means of escape, except by way of the roof and thence to adjoining buildings, they seem to have been overtaken by the flames at the foot of the ladder which led to the roof, and all perished together. We have, besides, the still greater horrors of the burning of a steamer on the Mississippi and the probable loss of an emigrant ship. Another deputy sheriff committed a mur der yesterday. There are now three deputy sheriffs iu limbo for murder and one in State’s prison for letting a prisoner go. The sheriff himself was but recently in the penitentiary. This simple narrative indi cates the state of society in New York city more clearly than a volume of exposition and objurgation could do. Trade is dull, but prices generally steady. The buoyant feeling in cotton at Liverpool to-day is attributed to the-slight falling off in the receipts at the Southern ports the past week. Manchester is very wide awake lest she shall do as she did last season, re fuse to pay low prices for cotton, let her stocks run down and then pay much higher prices. Among the future buildings of New York, there is none which, for both utility and greatness of conception, will exceed the two mammoth hotels which are to be erected by A. T. Stewart, one for young working women, and the other for young men, and for which he some time ago ap propriated the sum of $6,000,000. That for young women is to-be situated on Fourth Avenue, between Thirty-second and Thirty third streets, and here the excavations are being made and the foundations laid. The building will be six stories in height, sur mounted by a large Mansard roof, upon the summit of which twelve towers, twen ty-four feet in height and width, will be built, and upon the street angles of the building similar turrets will be also placed, making thus ten In number, which will form graceful crowns to the heavy struc ture below. The main entrance will be forty-eight feet in width, the portico of which will be two stories in height, consisting of massive columns with foliated capitals and bases, on octagon pedestals. The first story will be appropriated to stores, the rents from which will materially aid toward defray ing the expenses of the establishment. In the interior of the building will be a court yard ninety-four feet by one hundred and sixteen, and the hollow square thus formed by the surrounding walls will be beautified by a fountain, gold flsh, and in other ways In the rear will be Che dining room, thirty feet by ninety-two in dimension, and in addition, and near the same size, will he a hall for lectures, concerts and other recrea tions. The sleeping rooms will be of two kinds, the single, eight feet by nine, and those intended for two persons, sixteen by eighteen feet. It has been shown by ex perience that a marked preference has been always evinced for single rooms by occu pants, save in the case of two friends or sisters, for which the double rooms are dto vided. The entire arrangement is with a view to famish each working girl, who may become an occupant, the comforts and conveniences of ft hotel «t a small cost. AH is, indeed, contrived with a view to comfort and convenience. The kitchen end laundry will be on the most Improved modern plans, and, as in other hotels, there will be elevators- for ascending, without fatigue, to the upper stories. Good 'cod will be provided at cost, and on the restau rant principle, in order that each young woman may regulate her expenses accord ing to what she may order. Like the oth er buildings erected by Mr. Stewart, this will be pure white, for which he evinces a decided partiality. Nor iu these enlarged conceptions tor the benefit of those employed by him is Mr. Stewart forgetful or unmindful of the claims of self, for while erecting hotels for working men and wo aen, he builds a palace for himself. Such is,; indeed, his private dwelling on Fifth Avenue, of which every one has heard, which every one in New York has seen, and which now approaches its completion. This building is of marble, of an endur ing kind, which to the eye presents the ap pearance of granite, while tbe finishing in side is throughout of beautiful ItaMan mar ble, the work upon which was executed in Italy. The style of architecture is pure Corinthian, and though only three stories in height, the structure towers above the surrounding houses, inasmuch as each sto ry is twenty feet in height. Both within and without there is but little showy orna mentation, the style being chaste and se vere, grand without being heavy, and elab orate without being fanciful. The walls will be finished in a subdued color, so as to harmonize with the blue-veined marble, and the doors will be of rose wood.— The whole building, with but little alteration, could be transformed into a magnificent art gallery, which, indeed, in course of time, may not improbably take place; the wardrobe and bath rooms alone suggesting the idea of a private residence ; and one of the most remark.*: b e features is the vista presented by one room looking to another. Most worthy of note, also, is the principal staircase, the cost of which is almost fabulous; and beyond this, and lead ing from a spacious hall, is the picture gal lery, which is to be adorned with the finest specimens of statuary and painting, a col lection of which Mr. Stewart has been for some years making. By the end of tbe Winter it is supposed that the residence will be ready for occupation by Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, who from an elegant man sion across Fifth Avenue, survey the daily progress of the work.

A REGULAR HABIT OF BODY Is absolutely essential to physical health and clear ness of intellect. Nor Is this all. Beauty of person cannot co-exist wiih an unnatural condition of the bowels. A free passage of ihe refuse matter of the system through these natural wasto pipes, is as neces sary to the purity of tho body as the free passage of the offal of a city through its sewers is neceasaiy to tho health of it3 Inhabitants. Indigestion is the primary cacse of most of the diseases of the discharging organs, and one of its most common results is constipation. This complaint, besides being dangerous In itself, has many disagree able concomitants—such as an unpleasant breath, a sallow skin, contaminated blood and bile, hemor rhoids, headache, loss of memory, aud general de blUty. HOBTKTTKR’S STOMACH BITTERS remove all these evils by removing the r immediate cause, in the digestive organs, and regulating the action oi the intestines. The combination of properties in this celebrated preparation is one of its chief merits. It is not merely a stimulant, or a tonic or on anti-bi ions agent, or a nervine, or a blood depurent, or a cathar tic, but all these curative elements judiciously blended in one powerful restorative. It lends activity and vigor to the Inert and enervated stomach, relieves the alimentary canal of i's obstructions, and vives tone to the membrane which lines it, gently stimulates the liter, braces the neives, and cheers tlie animal spirits. No other remedy possesses such a variety of hygienic virtues. It is to these characteristics that it owes its prestige as a household medicine. Kxperienco has proved that it is hb harmless as it Is efficacious, and lienee it is as popular with tho weaker sex as with the stronger.

JL HE proprietor of this celebrated medicine 'nut ty claims for it a superiority over all ever offered to the public for the tafe, certain, speedy and permanent cure of Ague and Fever, or Chilis and FaverT whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire- We6tem and South western country to hear him te? d inony to the truth of the assertion that In no cure whatever will It fall to cure, If the directions nre strictly followed end carried out. In a great mai y cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have been cured by a single bott't with a perfect restoration of the general health. I’, is, however, prudent, and in every case more cert air v cure, if its use Is continued In smaller doses for : week or two aft- r tho disease has been checked, more especially in difficult and long standing cases Usually, thin medicine wtl! not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order ; should the patient however, require a cathartic medicine after bavin, taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL’B VEGETABLE FAMILY PII.IH wi be sufficient.
