oojs stittttionaljst: AUG-USTA. CGA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOV. 10,1809 OUR MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS. Very great indifference seems to exist concerning our municipal election which is so soon to occur. This state of things is deplorable and should be improved. The right of suffrage is a trust and every man entitled to it ought to feel that he wields it as a powerful unit for the good of his city, Btate or country. Nearly all the evils of free governments have been jndirectly caused by the abuse of the franchise ; and whenever the bad elements of society triumph, the defeat of the better elements may be traced to apathy in this particular. Vice and misrule are only formidable when virtue and integrity pertoit their vantage- ground to slip from under them. When the proper ruling elements in Augusta pro posed to compass, one year ago, the over throw of Radical rascality in city affairs, they went to work with vigor and deserved success. This one victory seems to have reacted into utter indifference and it may possibly continue to react until the city . shall have to be surrendered into the hands of wicked or incompetent jiersons. We have won a grSht victory; but it is none the less important that we should maintain what we have conquered. This can only be accomplished by keeping up our full strength, to be actively employed, or not, as the emergency shall demand.— Jn any event, every man entitled to register should do so before election day. We know not what combinations may be sprung upon us at the eleventh hour, and we may be surprised to find, when it is too late, that a fatal negligence has turned all the fruits of success to dust and ashes. The Democratic party may be invincible in Augusta, even with a-thin registration and a slim vote; but it is just as well not to cotint upon this too confidently. All the dissatisfied and tricky men are not dead yet and their wiles are fertile and many sided. Beside, we should like to know by a full poll how far Radicalism has pro gressed since last year and what amount of power it will be necessary for us to hold in reserve for the future. We already hear mutterings from some of our fellow-citizens who call themselves the “Workingman’s Party.” It is true they have not made much of a ripple on the po litical surface as yet, but this has been more for the want of bold and adroit -lead ers than anything else. We should like to know what this new faction proposes to gain ? We should like to know why there should be any distinctions drawn between poor men and rich men whose interests in the administration of our municipal affairs are coincidental. Are the workingmen un represented in Council? Have they any grievances to complain of? If so, let them speak out; let them endeavor to have-such a representation inside the Democratic parly, and let them not put themselves as a fac tion in such a false position that no good will come to them and much damage may accrue to the city by discord, contention, and the possible election of bad men through divided counsels. We have no doubt that the nominations to be made by the Democratic party will be satisfac tory to all good people. Meanwhile, we must remind our readers that the “ Registry law is only powerful In the hands of that party which makes the best use of it.” Wherefore, in order to take all the chances, let every eligible Democrat in Augusta register his name as a voter, and stand prepared to use his bfillot as becomes a man who is alive to his own interests and the welfare of his fellow-citizens. Texas and Mississippi. —The total regls- Mississippi is 139,937, of whom 59,170 are white men and 50,701 colored. Ifi Texas, the vote'for the convention, last year, was' 54,388, giving 80,896 majority in its favor. Thou Art But Man.—A magnificent bronze statue is to be erected to Vander bilt as a tribute to his luck. Suppose the Commodore should “burst” in the next few years, would the bronze image go with him to the Poor House? The Coming Man.— lt is said that Val- LANDiGnAM regards Chief Justice Chase as the coming man for the Democratic nom ination in 1872. The l*bw York Herald simultaneously drops Chase and espouses the cause of General Thomas. The Retort Blasphemous— Some Yan kee having told Brigham Young that the Pacific Railroad would destroy Mormon ism, Brigham retorted that “ it was a d—d poor religion if it wouldn’t stand one rail road.” Our New York Correspondence. New York, November 6. The true nature of the result of the elec tion in this State is so full of good that it will not be fully comprehended by any body who may give it a passing thought. To everything which an honest, patriotic man should cherish it is full of promise, not for the immediate, but more remote future.— It promises to reduce the burdens of local taxation, to increase the efficiency of local governments, and to give us a higher stand ard of political morals. The Democrats have complete control of all the branches of the State government for the first time in twenty-five years.— They have occasionally had a Governor, or the lower house of the Legislature, or the State officers, during that interval, but nothing to give auy efficiency to their action. Now they have the Governor, both branches of the Legislature, and the State officers. During the past eighteen years this city has been almost wholly in the hands of the Democrats. Its enormous growth has rendered a vast amount of legislation necessary, and greatly increased the public expenditures. To effect this legislation and procure this expenditure there has been a constant compromise ne cessary between the leaders of the two par ties, and there has naturally followed an amount of corruption, extravagance, dispersion of powers and inefficiency of ? roper administration that exceeds belief, t has come to the point that nothing could be done except by the creation of a com mission, equally divided between the two parties, whose friends were thus interested in frowning down criticism of their con duct. The Democrats of this city, so long as thev accepted this state of things under protest,, gained steadily upon their oppo nents in this quarter, until last Fall, the counties of New York and Kings gave Governor Hoffman the enormous majority of 86,000! Last Winter, however, Demo cratic members of the Legislature from these two counties went into the “ commis sion business ” on their own account; the “Board of Education ” in New York city, to take the place of a Democratic body, and the “ Water Board ” in Brooklyn to repress the powers of a Democratic Com mon Council, were the results of their scheming, and the verdict they get iB a loss of 88,000 in the Democratic majority, and - State is only saved to the Democrats by Republican disaffection and misman agement. Bat fortune is with the Democrats. It is with them, as their leaders very justly tell them, for them to determine whether their lease of power shall last one year or twenty years. If they seize hold oi the abuses that have grown np in the last fif teen years and root them up, the people will support them; for all classes are sick of the third rate nincompoops who now control the Republican party, and would gladly accept the stronger Democratic hands which seem ready to take the helm of State. The responsibility of the J)eraocratic party is as great as Its opportunity; let us trust that it will prove equal to it. The bull party of September have turned bears, and have enlisted the organs which contributed to the scandalous scenes of the 24th of that month. The financial writers, which then thought gold ought to go to 200, “to facilitate the movement of the crops,” is now clamoring for the “ immedi ate resumption of specie payments.” In other -words, having striven to force np prices above their proper average, at a time when banks and commission houses were making advances upon the new crops and opening the business for the season, they now, when banks and commission houses are staggering under their loads, and looking with dismay upon exhausted “ margins,” these same writers are en deavoring to create a panic in commercial and financial circles, and bringing ruin upon the banks and business of the coun try. The extraordinary depression now prevailing in prices of all kinds or domestic products is due mainly to the disturbance created by these guerrillas. And to the shame of Mr. Bontwell, it must be said that he has uniformly co-operated with these enemies of mercantile stability. Last July and August, when there were no important interests, (except his own private specula tions), to be injured by the sale of gold, he reduced his sales; in October and Novem ber, when throwing large amounts of gold upon the market is in danger of producing a panic, he largely increased his sales of gold. What is the natural inference?— Can it be only that he is using his power to enrich himself and friends at the ex pense of the whole community ? Among the numerous devices resorted to in a city like this, for the purpose of ob taining money, whether by fair means or foul, is one which is somewhat novel, which is ingenious, and which, in a good many instances, has of late proved success ful. The swindler ascertains by some means the fact that a certain member of a family is absent, and calling on the rela tives, introduces himself as a detective from the city where the absent individual is sup posed to b% informs them that their rela tive is in trouble, needs a small amount to help him out of difficulty, and concludes by offering to take the amount, even carrying his effrontery in some instances so far as to ask a banus for himself, in order to repay his trouble and the expense which he has incurred in bearing the message. Quite a number of complaints of this nature have been preferred before the police courts. One lady, however, on being informed in this way that her husband, who was absent in Albany was in difficulty, immediately determined to go herself to console him, and to rescue him, and with this view made an appointment with the pretended detec tive to meet him at the Hudson River Rail road Depot, aud take the night train up. On arriving there, at the hour named, the impostor could no where be found. Among the numerous Southerners who since the war have become residents of New York, the Rev. Charles F. Deems, for merly of North Carolina, and well known not only in that State, but in those adja cent, as a man of undoubted ability, is one of the most prominent. Coming here un heralded, with a fortune greatly impaired by the vicissitudes of the war, aud having the care of a large family, in the midst of an expensive city, he has in the course of a few years, made by the courtesy of his man ner, the universal kindness of heart which he has manifested, by untiring energy and by his marked power as a pulpit orator, a host of friends, and succeeded in building up a prosperous aud growing church. Although professedly a Methodist, yet he is a man of too liberal a spirit to very closely adhere to any one exclusive system, and his congregation, assuming the appel lation of “ The Church of the Stranger,” is in the broadest sense “ open to all,” as therein are comprised, aud of which are active members, persons and families of various other denominations, who, without renouncing their former faith and alle giance, meet here on common ground, and worship and work together in a spirit of entire harmony and concord. A lecture has recently been delivered here, which may perhaps carry some dis may into the ranks of the Spiritualists, and to which, if possible, they should re ply. Dr. J. Von Vieck undertakes to ex pose the whole or their performances, lay ing bare to the outside public that which has hitherto been sacred only to the in itiated. In particular, he essays to explain the modus operandi by which the Daven port brothers have professedly performed such marvels, and, in Imitation of them, he was tied so firmly as to leave an impression on his wrists after being released, and in this position rang a bell, performed on musical Instruments, and executed mauy feats heretofore considered very wonderful. The principal secret, according to him. con sists in slipping the forearm through the rope instead of withdrawing the hand, aud he asserts that, by stretching the wrists, a person may use the hands with considera ble ease, after having been apparently closely tied. Dr. Von Vieck, after haviug oeen flnniy tied by some one from the au dience, disengaged himself tnstaatly, and showed how a hand might be released when mediums were tied with the square knot generally used in audience commit tees. lit these cases it was only to twist the knot in a certain wSf to change it to two half hitches, slip pett ea ily. The hand then came ptowltn oul itinjowit?, and, a/tar parfatinVUg various tricks, was slipped back again, the knot drawn down by muscular contraction, and the performer left tied as before. All this he performed on the platform, together with a variety of other feats which had seemed very wonderful. The most com mon method of spirit rappers is, he says, to snap the large muscles of the wrist or legs, and this he did on the platform with out any perceptible movement of the body, and asserted that any one, by practice, might do the same. The spelling or an swers to questions generally failed when they were called one after the other, aud some incidents were given of mediums be ing led to expose their own trickery when carefully examined by some one adopting a careless manner. Willoughby. Putnam County Fair. Eatonton, November 8, 1869. Editors Constitutionalist: Wp poor, down-trodden Southerners now-a-days attach great importance to matters that, in our time of prosperity we were apt to regard as of very little worth. Before the war it was not considered re markable that Georgians should make good cotton, corn, wheat, vegetables, &c. It was looked on as a matter of course that we should ride and drive fine horses and own handsome carriages. But we have been so ground in the dnst that a county Fair, with a good exhibition of field and garden products, domestic arti cles, blooded stock, &c., is looked on at this day with some degree of wonder.— Shame on our oppressors, that it should be so! Honor to Sonthern energy and intel lect that enables us to rise superior to our misfortunes, so as to command the respect of the world! You recollect the words of Scott: “ Yet dread me from my living tomb, Ye vassal slaves of Rome!” The base hinds of Puritanism do dread the mind and power of the cavaliers. Un derstand me, I do not mean that all North ern men are round-head. There are good men at the North. There Is good blood there. Witness the Livingstons, the Van Renselaers, and hosts of others who must be with us in sentiment; but I say Puri tanism, Radicalism, intolerance, must feel that a day of fearful reckoning will come when they will in vain call on the rocks and the mountains to cover them and hide them from the just wrath of an ill-treated people. The high spirited and intelligent South ern race cannot be kept forever in a subor dinate position. Even now we are burst ing our fetters and showing the money-lov ing people of the North that we are able to compete with them even in their own favorite fields, and to acquire wealth in the process. In this way, if no other, we can wring respect from them. Those among them who are Informed, have always been compelled to admit that in politics—states manship—the South has ever ranked with the highest. Now we are convincing them that we can compare favorably with them even in their own peculiar trade of money making ; and this I say, if nothing else, will compel the respect that, otherwise, they might not accord to us. This reminds me of an anecdote I heard related by a carpet-bagger a year or two after the close of the war, which was as follows: “ A negro from the West Indies, who was a wealthy merchant, went to New York to buy goods. He fell in with a certain wholesale dealer who was ac quainted with his circumstances, who paid him great attention, carrying him to church and giving him a seat in the pew with himself. The next day the trader was approached by some of his trading ac quaintances for exhibiting a negro in his pew, in one of the most fashionable churches in the city. 4 Gentlemen,’ was the reply, 4 that negro man is worth three hundred thousand dollars!’ ‘Ahl’ ex claimed his auditors, ‘ won’t you give us an introduction to him ? ’ ” This anecdote was received with shouts of laughter and applause by the negroes who composed most of the audience on the occasion referred to; but the speaker tailed so give them, and they failed to perceive the legitimate moral that belonged to it, which is this: That whole affair happened with Yankees ! It was Yankees who mea sured the respectibillty of the man by the length of his purse. It was Yankees who failed to-see anything but a nigger, till they found the man was rich, and then they were ready to be introduced to toady and to boot-lick. Whether the narrative is true or not, lam unable to say, but it came from the notorious Eberhardt, who tried in some way to make a point with it for Radi calism, when really it is a bitter satire on the Yankee character. Bqt here I am, as usual, doing anything else rather than what I set out for, which was to tell you about the Fair. In spitejof the fact that Eatonton is only about forty miles from Macon, where the State Fair is soon to be held, good old Putnam, with the aid of surrounding counties, has had an ex hibition which, under the circumstances, is in the highest degree creditable to her. To go into detail, after my long preface, would be only to weary the patience of your readers. There were fine horses, cattle, poultry, vegetables, fruits, cotton, corn, wheat, peas, agricultural implements, ma chines, wagons, carts, harness, saddles, meal, flour, pictures, preserves, pickles, everything almost in the way of cookery, quilts, counterpanes, carpets, knitting, em broidery, everything that ladies make—why attempt a list that would occupy pages ? In concluding, let it be remembered that to Putnam county is due the credit of being the pioneer in holding fairs in Geor gia since the war, and to Putnam county, doubtless, wc owe the early revival of the State Fair.
